Chapter 292
Ouyang Zhi closed his eyes and quietly accepted the feeling brought to him by the outside world. After a while, Ouyang Zhi stood up, as if he was enchanted, walking in a daze.
If there are acquaintances here at this moment, they will definitely not recognize it, the person in front of him who is full of scum and is as down-and-out as an uncle is the handsome and noble son Ouyang Zhi. This was intentional by Ouyang Zhi. Alone outside, although he is already a sixth-order master, it is difficult to defeat many punches with both hands. Ouyang Zhi's young face brought him a lot of trouble. Moreover, Xu Lao's sphere of influence is too large, and everyone's eyes are locked on a lonely, young, and highly capable man. Ouyang Zhi decided to change his image, the beard he grew was never shaved again, his clothes were like western cowboys, he held a bulky sniper rifle in his hand, and a row of daggers were tied to his waist and thighs. If it weren't for an emergency, Ouyang Zhi wouldn't have easily displayed his abilities.
It's strange to say, it's the image of this down-and-out uncle, but he has bluffed many small gangs that bully the weak and fear the hard. At the very least, the few men lying on the grass now did not dare to attack the lone person as usual.
They are itinerant herders who have settled in the area. Mongolian men are unruly and uninhibited, and deep in the steppes, they still maintain the itinerant way of life that has existed for thousands of years. After the outbreak of the apocalypse, there were relatively few zombies in the grassland because of the sparse population and no fixed residence. On the contrary, there are more mutated poultry, such as cattle, sheep, horses, etc., as well as steppe wolves.
The seven men lying on their stomachs in the meadow were members of a small tribe that had just moved here before the apocalypse. There were more than 100 people in their tribe, and only about 70 remained after the end of the day. Their cattle, sheep and horses. Most of the dead and wounded were killed, and the rest of them basically ran away. Luckily, they had shotguns, machetes and other weapons in their hands, and they had migrated here to survive the winter, so they had plenty of supplies. Of the rest, only one-third were strong men, and the rest were old and weak, women and children. Despite this, most people have managed to survive the cold winter for so long. It's been a scorching summer.
their people. Most of them died at the hands of mutant beasts. Ordinary people can't eat zombie beasts, they can't digest the zombie virus in them, but mutant beasts are different. It doesn't taste great, but it's suitable for everyone. After eating the winter rations in reserve. Strong men had to carry shotguns on their backs. Fight the mutants. Cattle and sheep that were once docile. Faithful companions, horses and hounds, are now their enemies, and they feed on them. Conversely, mutant beasts also feed on humans. Moreover, there are even more terrifying zombie beasts, which are the existence of even a little "wound" that breaks the skin and will die.
In this way, there are only more than 30 people left in their tribe, and men account for one-half. Leading the team today is the patriarch of their tribe, Batu. Batu is a large man in his early forties, his father was the previous patriarch, who died in a recent battle with the steppe wolves, and Batu naturally became the new patriarch.
Today, they are ambushing here, also to eliminate the steppe wolves who killed the old patriarch and several tribal children. These wolves are all mutated wolves, originally the steppe wolves were known for their ferocity, cunning, and unity, and after the mutation, their body size is the size of a calf, and their sharp fangs are as long as the ancient saber-toothed tiger. The head wolf is even larger, larger than a cow weighing hundreds of kilograms. There were only a dozen wolves in number, and they were originally active in the grasslands farther away from here. Perhaps a winter had passed, and the food there had almost been hunted, and the wolves had come here more than two months ago, possibly threatening the safety of the tribesmen. And that's exactly what it is.
They had already fought the steppe wolves three times, each time at the cost of the lives of many of their clansmen, including their old patriarch and young children. And they only left the corpses of two wolves.
Batu followed the footprints of the wolves all the way. Grasslands are not suitable for ambushes, especially if you are ambushing a vicious pack of mutant wolves. So Batu, after confirming the direction of the wolves, made a detour to the front and laid a lot of traps. The reason why they had no fear was that some time ago they met a young Han man who escaped from the wolves alone and injured the wolf. The man told them where to find the weapons left behind by the troops who had been stationed here. There's a lot of landmines in there.
It was here that Batu laid a minefield. They've been lying in ambush here for hours. But they didn't wait for the steppe wolves, but they saw a down-and-out man. They have also robbed many lone or sparsely numbered survivors before. Now there are still a few women in their tribe, and it is self-evident what the purpose of raising them is. Their children and the elderly need to be cared for, and the men who are on the go need comfort. As for the disobedient men, some were killed when they resisted, and many more died while serving as hunting pioneers.
Batu thinks he is not a good person, especially after the end of the day. He did a lot of things to kill people and sell goods. The only thing is that he doesn't eat people, and he doesn't let his people eat people. Even the corpses are not eaten. Therefore, if there is no contribution, the tribe will not be raised in vain, and they are all used as bait to hunt.
When he saw Ouyang Zhi just now, Batu also thought that another prey had taken the bait. Batu fell in love with the gun in Ouyang Zhi's hand and the dagger on his body. Daggers in particular, Batu prefers cold daggers to hot weapons. And what Ouyang Zhi has on him is a good knife that people of Batu's class rarely have in their lives.
Batu originally wanted to shoot the head so that Ouyang Zhi would not break into the minefield he had specially set up for the steppe wolves. However, their shotguns were too backward, and the range was only a short 100 meters. Just as he hinted that his subordinates would go around to solve Ouyang Zhi, Ouyang Zhi lay down in a strange posture, or fainted. Batu was a little confused, he had ambushed a team in this way, so he was also afraid that Ouyang Zhi was the bait that the other party used to tempt him. Moreover, his main target today is still the steppe wolf pack.
If the mine array was destroyed by Ouyang Zhi, Batu would not have the confidence to lead others to escape the hunt of the steppe wolves, even if he himself was an earth-based powerhouse, this was also where he dared to ambush the wolves. If the steppe wolves dodge the minefield, he can hide himself and his companions under the thick earth, and he can escape the wolves. (To be continued.) )
