Chapter 67: The Deep Valley
86_86900 "Well, I think we've arrived in Province W, right?" Du Qinyue tore off an iron road sign caught by a tree more than ten meters high, and recognized the handwriting on it.
Qingdai gently took it and found that it was indeed a common sign on the highway, but at the moment it had been corroded by mutated plants and rusted, and the words that were originally the size of the basin were blurred. And there is a broken W city logo on the top, which means that they are close to their home, but there is a considerable distance.
Qingdai was in a trance because of this familiar place name, and heard Zhang Hongjun, who had already walked over, said slowly: "God, nong, it won't be Shennongjia, right?!" ”
"What's the rice?" Du Qinyue was surprised, hurriedly came over, followed Zhang Hongjun's gaze and looked under the iron road sign, and sure enough, he found that some local reflections were special, and when combined, it was the word Shennong! Now that he has arrived in W City, Shennong is of course Shennongjia.
"Shennongjia, located in the western part of Province W, has superior natural conditions." Lian Qingyun recalled the information he remembered.
Du Qinyue and Qingdai looked at the reckless woods around them, and they could sometimes find a part of the oil road on the ground, and the cement parts and steel materials that were broken and squeezed in the middle by the trees, and they couldn't feel the superiority of nature at all.
"Now the whole world has become Jurassic Park. Is there a difference between Shennongjia and what we have seen along the way? Du Qinyue complained.
Zhang Hongjun didn't have any intention of complaining, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said: "We came all the way, five days, we haven't seen anything modern, today only found the national highway level, and now eighty percent is sure to be near Shennongjia, then we will go to the east according to the map orientation, and theoretically we will see more traces of human beings." ”
"Let's do it first." Du Qinyue looked at the iron road sign again, and found that Qing Dai was still staring at it stupidly, so she couldn't help shaking Qing Dai's arm: "Let's go, maybe it will be to your house soon?" ”
But as soon as she finished speaking, she collapsed: "You go home, then aren't we going to separate?" ”
Qing Dai looked up in a daze, looking at the friends around her, Du Qinyue wanted to cry without tears, Zhang Hongjun looked up into the distance, Lian Qingyun pressed the car door and was silent, Xu Sheng also carefully studied the iron plate next to him, and it seemed that he didn't find anything abnormal at all, while the twins were still sitting in the car, studying the encyclopedia very seriously.
Qing Dai took a deep breath, finally calmed down the excitement of going home a little, and took Du Qinyue's hand: "Life is scattered, even if we all go home, we are good friends for life." There will definitely be new means of communication and transportation in the future, and we will definitely be able to see you again. ”
Du Qinyue's eyes were red: "But, how can I leave you!" I, I'll stay in your house with you. ”
Zhang Hongjun couldn't listen to it anymore, and finally turned his head and said: "There is still a lot of way to go, are you finished?" ”
Du Qinyue said angrily: "How can you stinky man understand the friendship of girls!" ”
Before everyone could persuade her, Qing Dai suddenly released a handful of corpse vines and surrounded all the people and cars.
The quarrelsome onlookers all held their breath.
In just two seconds, a trace of rancid stench came, and at the same time, three humanoid black shadows collided with the corpse vine, and then were entangled in countless vines.
Qing Dai magnified the scope of perception again, and made sure that there was no abnormality around, which signaled that everyone was safe.
Zhang Hongjun frowned and looked at Qing Dai and said, "What is the level of zombies?" ”
Qing Dai recalled for a moment before she said, "It's similar to the super zombies we met before." ”
Du Qinyue's eyes widened: "Just these three things, can there be no monsters in the vicinity for several kilometers?" ”
Several people were silent, which was really strange. As soon as they came to this area, they found that the road had become very calm, not at all like the animals and plants that they always encountered on the road before. According to common sense, there must be a particularly powerful thing here, which divides the territory as its own, so Qing Dai always releases her senses, while others are always ready for war.
But now there are three zombies that are a little more powerful? Just kidding, you can eat as many zombie plants as you would normal humans.
At this moment, the twins jumped out of the car.
"Sister Qingdai, look there, is there going to be a fire there?"
Everyone followed the fingers of the two of them, and the lush woods left only a small gap to see the sky, but at this moment, the blue sky was as clear as a wash and there was a straight gray plume of smoke floating.
"This seems to be a professional distress wolf." Lian Qingyun identified it, and then guessed that he was also a person who liked to travel back then, and he had played with a lot of high-tech equipment.
Du Qinyue smacked her lips: "Is there a crowd?" Or are you left alone? ”
Qing Dai thought for a while: "Since most of them are people, let's go and have a look." Those who ask for help should also be saved, and maybe they can ask for directions. ”
No one objected, and even Qingyun got into the driver's seat and drove to this special signal.
The nimble body is not clumsy in this dense jungle, and the weeds and shrubs like a green sea are only crushed by the force.
The tall trees of the Central Plains do not expose too many roots to the ground like the southern rainforests, but are accustomed to digging their roots deep into the ground, robbing them of not much water, and the distance between trees is much more separate.
The car was bumpy and everyone was silent, except for the two children, who felt like they were in an amusement park: "It felt like watching a 4D movie." ”
"Yes, yes, this visual effect, coupled with this kind of shaking, which is not uncomfortable at all, is a five-star 4D movie blockbuster."
Listening to these words, everyone laughed a little, and then felt that it made sense, such a mutated environment, huge trees, and mutated animals from time to time, isn't it a magical blockbuster.
Only Qingdai didn't react, just closed her eyes and perceived the outside world, she felt a little bad, but not very bad, such a contradictory premonition is rare, and it can't be taken lightly.
It didn't take long for Qing Dai to open her eyes and shout, "Stop!" ”
Lian Qingyun braked without objection.
Qing Dai opened the car door, left the twins in the car, and circled twice with the ghoul vine, and then led the group of people towards the front.
It didn't take two steps, and everyone knew why Qingdai was so abnormal. Although it is difficult to see the situation ahead, the noise of the behemoth activity is very obvious.
Du Qinyue was a little excited, and asked quietly, "Is this someone fighting?" ”
Qingdai shook her head: "There are no living people in front." ”
Lian Qingyun added: "It smells, it's a zombie." ”
Zhang Hongjun frowned and thought for a moment: "What are zombies fighting with?" ”
Qing Dai first brushed away a thick layer of shrubs and rattans in front of her, and Du Qinyue hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.
The place where they were at the moment was a small cliff, about thirty meters high, and the trees below that were also lush had basically been crushed clean. A black python 100 meters long and about three meters in diameter rolled in it.
Obviously, it's probably what it did.
Qing Dai glanced at the perceived mutant creature, and then turned her gaze away, she paid more attention to the moment of entanglement with the giant python, moving and jumping, and releasing a thick stench of monsters - more than a dozen zombies that basically retained their human form, but appeared in various twists.
Zhang Hongjun also discovered such an abnormality, and couldn't help muttering: "Is this a zombie?" ”
Xu Sheng also looked over, frowned and thought for a while, and said rarely: "It seems to be biosynthesis, I can't say if it's mutation or some other reason." ”
None of them continued to speak, no one was a fool, and ninety percent of such a peculiar shape was probably "studied" by humans.
Qing Dai looked at it for a while, and found that the giant python with rough skin and thick flesh was also injured by these disgusting zombies, so she hurriedly released the corpse vine and devoured those stinky monsters. Just kidding, if even the mutated python was infected with the zombie virus, the fun would be even greater.
The giant python is still trying to get rid of the zombies, after all, it looks at these things as if humans have encountered flies and mosquitoes, they can't drive them away, they can't die, and they can't swallow them with nausea, it's really irritable. Suddenly, I felt a few clouds of green wrapping the "bed bugs", and then the stench slowly dissipated.
The giant python was a little dazed, looked around the more than ten green vines for a long time, and sniffed the surrounding situation, but unfortunately after the mutation, its IQ did not grow, and it grew a head, and there was not much smell on Qingdai and the others, and it was completely ignored in the rancid smell left by the zombies.
However, the python is not as entangled as humans, and the crisis is lifted, such strange things happen every day in nature, and it is not their hobby to find out the root cause, and it is the right thing to go back and rest.
Qing Dai and the others did not dare to come out, and it was not until the giant python disappeared into the deeper dense forest that they slowly relaxed.
Du Qinyue was about to sigh her shock when she heard Zhang Hongjun say, "That pillar of smoke is right in front." ”
Only then did everyone remember their purpose, they were all a little embarrassed, and hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Hongjun, and sure enough, the smoke column that seemed far away was clearly released from the side of the road where the giant python left.
But that's not right, it's impossible for pythons and zombies to fiddle with this thing, and if anyone was there, they would have been scared away by these non-humans. According to Lian Qingyun's experience, this portable wolf smoke can be carried around, and it will not be abandoned.
Qing Dai released her perception again, and then said to her friends: "There is also a cliff terrain in front, maybe it's on the other side." ”
In other words, they are going over the mountains.
Fortunately, everyone is strong and strong, and since they have already come, of course they can't give up halfway. Qing Dai made a soft ladder out of the ghoul vine, and the group soon came to the edge of a new cliff.
“…… How deep is this cliff? Du Qinyue looked at the bottomless canyon in front of her and asked unconsciously.
Zhang Hongjun picked up a stone and threw it at the other end of the canyon, far away from the smoke column, but there was no response for a long time.
"Obviously, more than five hundred meters." He replied with a smile.
The autumn breeze was blowing, a chill was coming, and everyone was a little speechless, this difficulty in saving people seemed to be too great.
Qing Dai thought for a while, and said, "Why don't we eat first?" ”
Du Qinyue paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Foodies are the truth, yes, let's eat first, and only after eating can we find a way to work with dignity." ”
Lian Qingyun walked to the place closest to the smoke column, looked at it carefully, and judged: "This thing needs to be operated every hour, and the people below should not be in a hurry, so let's eat first." ”
Everyone expressed their admiration for such a coherent reasoning, and then quickly returned to the place where they had parked.
Du Qinyue watched several men become cooks again, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Those zombies, could it be related to the people below the cliff?" ”
Qing Dai shook her head slowly: "I don't feel like it, a person who can make such a zombie won't be so miserable, and he is actually trapped under the cliff." ”
Zhang Hongjun also sneered: "The imagination is really rich, those zombies seem to be running out alive, of course they have to chase after the food, will they stay with their masters loyally?" ”
Du Qinyue slapped Zhang Hongjun's head: "Work for you." ”。
