Chapter 41: Tribal Migration
Chapter 41 Tribal Migration
I dare say it was the happiest night of their lives, for everyone tasted the fragrant cake with a hint of sweetness and sourness, everyone learned to sing birthday songs, and the bonfire went on and on in the middle of the night, until a few of the mourning beasts were attracted by the noise and attacked, and I ordered the bonfire to be stopped and everyone to rest.
Those few blind mourning beasts were easily dealt with by the guarding clansmen, and now that they have guns, everyone's waist is straight.
Early the next morning, I was woken up by the sound of the children in the tribe, and when I woke up, Chu Ying smiled and brought me face wash water with a wooden basin.
"Alas, the treatment of being a leader is good! There is such a good treatment...... "Looking at the children playing, my mood was much lighter, I stretched my waist, and couldn't help but laugh at Chu Ying.
Chu Ying put down the wooden basin with a red face, glanced at me with disgust and shame, turned around and went out. Looking at her graceful back, I couldn't help but feel a wave in my heart, it seems that this girl also has a good impression of me! washed his face with cold water, and soon regained his composure, Mo Yue's pretty face emerged in his heart, looking at his own reflection in the basin, I secretly smiled bitterly, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, you already have Mo Yue, don't provoke other girls casually, it seems that you will have to restrain yourself in the future and not attract the attention of girls casually.
I have already discussed with Cao Riben and them, and in order to prevent Ma Biao and their retaliation, I decided to abandon this place and move with everyone. Xia Kite told me that the island where they live is a paradise for everyone, so there are so many people who wake up early in the morning to pack their things.
"Throw away everything you can't want, we only have three trucks, and carrying those useless things will only become a liability!" I couldn't help but stop watching many people load some items that they don't usually use and even wooden pots and bamboo baskets onto the truck.
There are already two trucks full of food and necessities, and other things are hard to throw away, but they must be thrown away, as long as people are still there, everything will be there.
"It's a bit reluctant to live here for so many years!" Chu Ying glanced at the camp behind her, and walked two steps quickly to follow: "I remember that my father just rescued me and came back, and it was our first migration......
Chu Ying's words evoked Cao Riben's memories and made him sigh: "Yes! We migrated hundreds of kilometers that time, and only about 30 people were lucky enough to get here...... All the old people were abandoned during that migration, and some of the infirm were eaten by the zombie creatures! It's terrible to think about! "Listening to Cao Riben's words, my heart is a little heavy, after all, the purpose we are going to this time is the seaside of RZ City, and we have to pass through a complex section of nearly 400 kilometers, and I don't know how many dangers we have to experience along the way, and how many will survive in the end?
The two trucks in the back were full of supplies, while the front trucks were for the elderly, the weak, women and children, and the rest of us followed the slow-moving trucks.
Although a hundred years have passed, there are still traces of the past roads, and even many sections of the road have not been damaged, but trucks are driving on the road, and there are obstacles in many places that we need to clear before we can continue to move forward.
I walked in this way for two days, although I also encountered some zombies and zombie animals on the way, but we cleaned them up, at most we only encountered a second-level zombie cow, and without a large-scale attack, the team would not be threatened. Even so, the speed at which we walked was also affected, and we only walked a few tens of kilometers in two days. There was no way, everyone had to tighten their heartstrings, and there were only three trucks, so many people could only move forward on foot, and the speed was greatly reduced.
"Captain, my truck is less than a third of the gas!" While the team was resting and eating, the driver of the third truck told me. This is the third such report I have received, that is, our three trucks do not have much fuel, as we all know, the car is the most fuel-efficient to drive at a certain speed at a certain speed, and this kind of slow driving in low gear is the most fuel-intensive, because most people are walking, so the truck can only move forward at a turtle speed in front.
Everyone in the tribe called me the leader, which made me feel very uncomfortable, so I asked everyone to call me captain, Cao Riben as the deputy captain, and several other squad leaders, all of which were subdivided one by one, as for the tribe, it has long ceased to exist, and I named our team of more than 130 people "The Last Squad".
"It's going to be difficult...... After eating, we hurried to the road, there should be a gas station in front of us, to see if we can find some supplies. Urging everyone to finish eating quickly, he looked up at the sky, it would be dark if he could walk for more than two hours, and he had to find a safe place to spend the night before dark, the night was the world of zombie creatures, and no one dared to take such a large group of people to venture out at night.
The tree-lined road shone with a little sunlight through the leaves, and an abandoned gas station could already be seen standing between the ruins in front of it, where several zombies were wandering with their bodies shaking.
"Hurry up, everyone! There's a gas station right in front of you! Let's see if there's any oil......" I urged the tired crowd forward, and I rushed towards the zombies first.
When the zombies saw a large group of people approaching, they roared excitedly, turned around and met me, and before they could get close, they were nailed to the head one by one by the bone spurs in my hand, and several forward bodies shook twice and finally fell down.
Luckily, I didn't think that there was a second-level zombie here, and to deal with the only threat here, I pulled out the dagger on my waist, stabbed the head of this second-level zombie with a knife, and pulled out a white brain core from the back of its head and put it in a leather bag.
High-level zombies are all cowering in that ruined world, and it would be a small surprise to meet a second-level zombie on the side of this desolate highway, after all, these brain cores are of direct use to me.
"Let's see if there's any oil!" The drivers of the trucks got out of the car and searched for the tankers.
"Huh! This tanker still has oil! Guo Wei picked up the oil gun and sniffed it, and said in surprise: "There is the smell of fresh gasoline, this fuel dispenser was used not long ago!" Look, there's still a straw left here...... "Guo Wei pulled out a black oil hose from under the fuel dispenser and took two sips with his mouth.
"Ahem...... There is oil! Guo Wei choked on the gasoline and coughed profusely, while stuffing the bubbling oil pipe into the mouth of the truck's fuel tank.
"Not bad! There are also a few oil drums over there, fill up the oil drums and take them away! Cao Riben ordered several team members to bring oil drums in case of emergency. These oil drums are also a good thing, in this era of scarce resources, many of these oil drums have been converted into cooking utensils, such a large iron drum hanging on the fire is enough to make a tribal pot of rice.
The fuel tanks of the three trucks were full, but unfortunately there was not much oil left, and only one oil drum was pumped to the end.
"Be content! This gasoline is used a little less, and we are lucky to be able to find this gasoline today! Seeing Guo Wei's angry look, Cao Riben smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "This oil is enough for us to travel 200 kilometers, and if we persist in it, we will be able to reach our destination, maybe we will encounter such a good thing on the road!" Hey? What was that? Cao Riben stopped talking in astonishment, and turned his head to listen in the direction he was talking to.
"It's the sound of a car......" I solemnly said, commanded everyone to gather together, squinted my eyes and looked at the road behind me, and I could see a series of black dots moving towards this direction, it was a convoy of cars, of different sizes speeding towards this side, and the roar of various engines was heard from afar.
Soon the convoy approached, at this time everyone could see the vehicles coming clearly, there were trucks and off-road, and several huge modified motorcycles, about a dozen cars were sitting in front of and behind people, each holding a different weapon in his hand, there were squad machine guns, assault rifles, double-barreled shotguns, and even composite bows and steel crossbows, seeing our group of people in the gas station, the convoy stopped, and four giant motorcycles drove towards us as soon as they stepped on the accelerator.
There were two people sitting on each motorcycle, and on the first one was a young man in a black sleeveless leather jacket, with fiery red hair, a fair complexion, and tattoos on his arms holding the handlebars, the tattoo pattern was blood-red like a fiery red pom-pom, which seemed to be a bit like a totem style, like an orchid but not an orchid, definitely a plant we had never seen.
"Hey!" The tattooed young man stopped the motorcycle, spread his legs and propped himself on the ground, and raised his head at us: "Is there still gas at the gas station?" How about giving us some? ”
"They don't look like hunters......" Cao Riben whispered into my ear to explain, I nodded, seeing that although their cars were full of people, they were all people with weapons, and there was not a single ragged free man, it was obvious that they were not hunters who hunted and sold by free people, only a small van truck could not see the contents inside.
"I'm sorry, man! We're running out of gas, and our car hasn't been filled up yet! "I walked up to the tanker and shook the oil hose to signal to the tattooed youth.
"Oh? So......" The tattooed young man shook his head regretfully, pointed to the oil drum on our truck and said, "Then what are you doing there?" Don't tell me it's clear water......"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Let's talk about it! "On the other motorcycle was a muscular strong man, who was the one who spoke, looking at me murderously, and the faces of Guo Wei and others behind him changed, and the muzzles of the guns in their hands were aimed at him.
"Tut-tut...... Lao Wang, you are this hot temper, haven't you seen anyone have a gun? The tattooed young man raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, glanced at me meaningfully, and said to Lao Wang: "Hurry up!" It's not good to waste time on these freedmen before they catch up! However, with their help, we can stop for a while......" As soon as he finished putting on the accelerator, the motorcycle sped away with a gorgeous tail flick.
"Humph!" Lao Wang glared at Guo Wei, raised the light machine gun in his hand demonstratively, followed the tattooed young man with a gas pedal, and the motorcycle took the lead, and the other party's convoy followed again and galloped along the highway.
I breathed a sigh of relief, the other party obviously had no intention of fighting with us, if there was a real fight, with our few guns really not being the opponent of others, I am afraid that we will all be planted in the hands of the other party. Looking at the speeding convoy, I fell into deep thought, these people left in a hurry, obviously evading some kind of pursuit, what could it be?
