Episode 24 The Undead Trade
Before I could understand what was going on, another dry hand grabbed me by the shoulder and quickly pulled me into the room, and it was useless for me to struggle.
As soon as I entered the house, I hurriedly went to pull out my pistol, although I knew that being surrounded by seven or eight zongzi at such a close distance was basically the end, but I couldn't honestly wait to be bitten to death! How do you know that the pistol has just been taken out, and before it can be raised, the splitter has been snatched away. Then I was grabbed by several hands and pushed down on a chair, and when I saw that I was still struggling, someone gave me a hard smack.
This mouth hit me so painfully, and the person calmed down all of a sudden, and after a closer look, the guy who hit me was a skeleton and was wearing a casual pants for the armed police. I calmed down and looked, and sure enough, it was the bastard of the big zongzi, who was looking at me "squeaking" and grinding his teeth, and his four-legged bone beast was napping not far away.
I looked at the big zongzi, then at his companions, and asked in amazement, "What's going on with them?" When the skeleton soldiers saw that I had calmed down, they let go of their hands and stood behind the big zongzi, and one of them brought me a bottle of soda, and I quickly waved it to let him take it away.
The fat man and Xiao MM were shouting my name loudly downstairs, and I quickly ran to the window and said that I was fine. However, the situation in front of me was a bit weird, and after thinking about it, I didn't want to call them up, so I shouted to the fat man: "I'm fine, you guys quickly find out the megaphone." ”
Looking back, the big zongzi had already begun to gesture to me, and I quickly waved my hand, saying don't bother you, I can't understand it when I hit it. I pointed to the skeleton soldiers and asked the big zongzi, "These people are just like you, they are also wise, right?" Seeing the big zongzi nodding, I exhaled and asked, "How many of you are there?" Seeing him stretch out a finger to me, I couldn't help but be frightened: "There are a hundred of you?" Seeing Da Zongzi shaking his head, I breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that he then made a gesture, which meant that I said less.
I grass! I mean, you won't have a thousand of them, will you? Seeing the big dumplings nodding, I felt a little precursor to collapse. In the case of large zongzi, it is obvious that it has broken through the category of genetic mutations and should belong to evolution. At first, I thought this was just an isolated phenomenon, but now it seems that the group of people in the big dumplings has formed a group. What kind of formation is a thousand skeletons standing together? I reckon equip them with powder guns and knives and these guys will be able to take out an aircraft carrier battle group.
Except for the big zongzi who stands out from the crowd, I look at the companions of the big zongzi, who are about the same size as ordinary people, but one or two of them don't seem to be in good spirits and stand there listless.
Da Zongzi pointed at those people, then opened his mouth, and waved his hand at me, I asked hesitantly: "You mean, they haven't eaten for many days?" The big zongzi nodded violently and spread his hands to me, meaning to ask me what to do~~~.
I sat there and thought about it, and asked Da Zongzi how did you get your own food source? Da Zongzi walked a few steps on the ground like a zombie, then made a movement to break my neck, and then made a blood-spattered appearance, and then compared it to himself.
I said I understand, you go hunting zongzi and live on the dirty blood that was splashed on you when zongzi was dying, didn't you? Da Zongzi nodded vigorously, then pointed to his companions, made a twisting motion, waved his hand, and stomped his feet angrily, "touching" the floor slab.
I looked at the helpless companions of Da Zongzi, and I somewhat understood, and I said, "Is it that your companions dare not kill Zongzi, or that they can't get that hand, so they are so malnourished like now?" "This time I didn't have to answer with a big dumpling, seven or eight skeleton soldiers nodded at me together, and I couldn't help but sigh.
Although these people have evolved ordinary people with much greater strength, their minds retain the meaning of human beings, not only timid, but also that ridiculously benevolent. I mean, didn't you try the glucose solution in the hospital? It took a long time for the big zongzi to draw and I finally understood, and they said that they had used it, but there were fewer of them, and now they have used almost it. Da Zongzi also said that there was originally a pharmaceutical factory on the edge of the city, which could produce glucose solution, but it was a mess by zombies, and all the good things were ruined.
I was relieved to hear Da Zongzi say that the glucose solution worked, if we really provided blood to these skeleton soldiers for a long time, it would be difficult for us to die. Obviously, the best idea right now is to ...... My heart suddenly lit up, and I said to Da Zongzi: "I have a way to provide you with food in a short time, but it will take some effort on your part. ”
The big zongzi waved his hand, meaning that it was no problem, and then urged me to say quickly, it seems that there is a problem with the food supply, and it has already made them embarrassed enough.
I said that you are all newly evolved mutants, we don't know anything about your physiology, and we have to explore everything. What we now know is that blood can sustain your life, and so can stained blood. It just so happened that last night we had a big battle with the zombie army, killing nearly 10,000 zongzi. Now that the corpses of the dumplings in the vicinity of Fuldo are almost piled up, we can contract the work of disposing of the dead bodies to you, specifically asking you to come forward and transport the corpses away and bury them.
Da Zongzi nodded, indicating that he could accept this job, but he immediately made a finger twisting action for me, which means how much benefit we give them~~~ I grass, I am dizzy, I talked about business with skeleton soldiers for the first time, and I actually ignored that since they are a civilized species, it is natural that they will not make a loss-making transaction.
I smiled wryly and said what do you want? Renminbi? Gold? Stock? Or condoms? I didn't expect these bone sticks to bargain with me, it seems that the world has really changed.
The big zongzi grinded his teeth vigorously, looking extremely angry, so I had to spread my hands and ask, "Then tell me, what do you want?" As long as we can do it, we will do our best. ”
Da Zongzi didn't give me a gesture this time, but retreated all the way. We were in a classroom at this time, and he stepped back to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote on the blackboard, "We need a sign language teacher." ”
I couldn't help but be stunned after reading it, and after looking at them one by one, I couldn't help but suddenly realize, and said with a smile: "Isn't it, you can't communicate your feelings now?" Seeing seven or eight skeleton soldiers nodding to me together, I unconsciously put away my smile and said: "Yes, this problem may be more troublesome for you, you do need a sign language teacher...... "Dumb language is not a very common way of language communication, I can think of the big zongzi among their skeleton soldiers, it is estimated that there are few people who can be dumb, and if you don't get it, the big zongzi will be dumb. And he can't speak now, so there is a break point in the meaning of his diagram, and there is no way for the other skeletons to understand.
Later, I learned that the situation they encountered at that time was even worse than I had predicted, all the skeleton soldiers did not remember who they used to be, and in such a situation, if they could not communicate with each other, this new group would soon collapse, and some of them would join the ranks of hunting the living, and those who had been reluctant to attack humans would die of weakness due to a long period of not eating.
But we only have Mr. Zhang as a qualified sign language teacher, do we want us to hand over Mr. Zhang and let these skeleton soldiers take him away?
I hesitated, still thinking about how to answer the big zongzi, the dead fat man had already kicked the door of this classroom open, but fortunately he saw that I was drinking soda with Erlang's legs crossed, so he didn't shoot recklessly.
I told the big zongzi about the situation they encountered, and the fat man walked in and shook hands with the big zongzi first, and then said: "Food is not a problem now, just your 1,800 people, just the dead zongzi outside the door of Fule Duo is enough for you to eat for a while, but the sign language teacher is in trouble." We are the only one who is proficient in sign language...... But the old man is that old, almost eighty years old, and he can't help but toss. Besides, the concept of the elderly is relatively backward, and he may not be able to accept it if he is asked to be a teacher for a bunch of bone sticks. ”
As soon as the fat man said this, Da Zongzi also knew that things were a little difficult, and his companions were also anxious. We discussed it again, but we still couldn't get the point.
Xiao MM was frightened at first, but then he saw that except for the big zongzi, those skeleton soldiers were all honest and almost Mu Na, so he couldn't help but be a little bolder, and said tentatively: "Actually, this problem you encountered is easy to solve......" She said this, and we all moved our eyes to his face. Xiao MM gave so many skeleton soldiers a look, and became nervous again, stumbling and not knowing what to say.
The person who gave me the soda saw that I didn't drink it, so he sent the soda bottle to Xiao MM, and opened the bottle cap for Xiao MM, with a very affectionate attitude.
Xiao MM took the soda, subconsciously took a sip, and then looked at the skeleton soldier who brought her the soda, and wanted to vomit a little. I was afraid that her vomiting would affect the current atmosphere, so I quickly snatched the soda bottle she sent and said, "If you don't want to drink, don't drink, waste things." Since I grabbed it in my hand, I had to pretend to take a sip, but it was just a show, and I didn't really drink it, but I still felt a trace of sweetness in my mouth, and I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and after a while, I realized that it was Xiao MM's residual saliva.
Xiao MM glared at me, snatched the bottle back and took a big sip, and swallowed it easily, and immediately took two breaths.
The dead fat man rolled his eyes and said, "If you two want to kiss each other, you can kiss each other enough, don't use a broken bottle as a cover, let it go." ”
Xiao MM "bah", only then did he muster up his courage, pointed to the big pants of the big zongzi, and said to the big zongzi: "Your question is very simple, as long as you turn on your walkie-talkie, Grandpa Zhang is explaining in Fuleduo, and you are demonstrating on the spot, you can link the ears of the skeleton soldiers through Grandpa Zhang's mouth, and you can convey it to the eyes of the skeleton soldiers through the sign language demonstration of the big zongzi brother, so that the triangular interaction can completely solve the task of sign language teaching." ”
"Ah......" The fat man and I both froze for a moment, thinking that what Xiao MM said was really good, so that the old man Zhang did not have to work to run around, and he could actually complete the task of sign language teaching, which was indeed a wonderful idea. We just wanted to praise Xiao MM for a few words, but she continued: "In order to achieve better results, you can also go to the school for the deaf and dumb to find some textbooks, which not only have text descriptions, but also graphic annotations, maybe those pictures are still in color." ”
The big zongzi patted his head, danced excitedly, and those skeleton soldiers also jumped up happily, and almost rushed up to give Xiao MM a big hug. However, Xiao MM also discovered the skeleton soldiers' intentions, and quickly hid behind me with a smile.
I walked over and patted the big zongzi on the back and said, "We will have to deal with a lot in the future, so it's best not to have any misunderstandings." Thou hast told thy people to wear thy big pants in the future, so that they may not be accidentally hurt by us. ”
Da Zongzi also nodded, gave me a thumbs up, and praised me for being thoughtful. I also informed him about Sun Dabi's visit and told Da Zongzi to be more careful. Pang Boss and Sun Dabi are not good cakes, although we don't know what the strength of their gang is, but they also have guns and weapons in their hands. And that Sun Da Nose is still a mutant, it's hard to say that he doesn't have any incredible abilities.
We discussed some more details and broke up. The three of us went down to the school building and found the loudspeaker in the guard room on the first floor. Anyway, there were wires in the Fleurdo, so we didn't care, and cut the connection between the loudspeaker and the loudspeaker, and loaded them into the rear compartment of the armored car.
After returning to the base, I saw that the refugee containment work was proceeding in an orderly manner, most of the refugees had already entered Fuldo and had been properly resettled, while most of the people who had not yet entered the outside had just arrived.
We handed over the loudspeaker and loudspeaker to Lu Haibao, and went to find Su Wan. Seeing that Su Wan was giving a speech to those refugees, she received bursts of warm applause from time to time, and she seemed to be quite popular.
When Su Wan saw us, she beckoned the three of us to the crowd, introduced us to everyone, and then asked us how we had gained. I told Su Wan about the encounter with the skeleton soldiers of the brigade, and the refugees were dumbfounded, but now is the most dangerous period for mankind, the more allies, the better, even if it is a poisonous snake, as long as it can help us, we will quickly accept it.
However, I still reminded Su Wan that the number of those skeleton soldiers is not small, there are thousands of them, and their living problems must be solved, otherwise it is likely that they will be desperate to take risks in the situation of extreme lack of food, which is not good for us. Those guys are all tough mutants, far from being comparable to the dumplings who roam the streets. It's good to say that this emerging force is an ally, but if we really want to turn the other cheek, we probably won't be able to beat them. After all, people's physical strength is much better than ours, and their intelligence is not bad.
As they were discussing, a middle-aged man in his forties in the crowd raised his hand and said, "Brother Jiu...... Brother Hua, I have been a workshop director in XXX Pharmaceutical Factory for a period of time, and I am quite familiar with those pharmaceutical equipment. If I could have some workers, I could produce a glucose solution, and it was a super good quality product. ”
Scold! This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! We hurriedly asked for his name, he said that his surname is Yao, his name is Yao Fangzhong, and he has always been a person from that pharmaceutical factory, who has come up step by step from the front-line workers, and is familiar with every link of that pharmaceutical factory.
As soon as he spoke, the loudspeaker upstairs sounded, and Lu Haibao's loud voice howled desperately, making a propaganda to the nearby residents, telling them to rush to Fuleduo as soon as possible to take refuge.
The loudspeaker was loud, so I leaned into Su Wan's ear and asked her how many people she had taken in today, and Su Wan replied that there were more than thirty. I said that it doesn't seem that the situation is very optimistic, although the power of our small horn is not large, but now the surroundings are quiet, the sound must be farther than when the market was in a hurry before, from yesterday to now shouted for so long, only so many people came, it seems that there are not many survivors in the entire Dalian City. The most optimistic estimate we can muster is probably not more than a thousand.
Su Wan said that we will have to implement a planned economy in the future, if so many people take it casually, although the Fullot is big, it will be eaten up sooner or later, and some irreplaceable commodities, such as edible salt, etc., once consumed, then our situation may be difficult to control.
Su Wan asked Huang Haihe and Bai Xiaomei to lead the newcomers to the rest area to rest, and distribute them food, replenish clothes and other emergency items.
Su Wan smiled: "But for the matter of remote sign language coaching, I'm afraid we still have to do the work of Old Man Zhang." So a few of us went up to the third floor, and saw that Mr. Zhang was in a daze there, and he seemed to have encountered some very confused problem.
We walked over and asked a few words, and the old man came back to his senses, widened his eyes and said to us: "Valle?1 Kuban said that the Mayans are descendants of the Chinese!" This sentence came out inexplicably, and several of us were stunned, and we didn't understand what the old man meant.
Old Man Zhang sighed and said, "Just now I and Valle? Kuban talked about it, and he said that according to the legend of the Mayans, their ancestors came to Mexico by ship from the north. According to Valle's analysis, in the ancient period of mankind, a war broke out between human beings and a civilized race parallel to themselves, and as a result, mankind won a great victory. Most of the aliens were wiped out, and only a small group of enemies fled into the distance. The ruler of the time, probably for the purpose of cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots, sent a tribe familiar with the ship to hunt down the remnants of the alien race. As a result, the people traveled north from the Yellow Sea, through the Bering Strait, and down the east coast of the Americas, and finally fought a decisive battle with the alien remnants in Mexico, and successfully drove the alien remnants into underground caverns. ”
