Chapter 500: Returning Home (5)
85_85483 "Is there anyone else living on that hill?" ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the survivors, but also the short man himself was stunned.
He obviously didn't notice the loophole in his wording, and just wanted to prevaricate and change, but after meeting Xu Renjie's sharp gaze, he immediately gave up the idea of falsifying.
"I ...... My daughter-in-law and children are also on the mountain. ”
Hearing this, the survivors all glanced at each other.
There is no doubt that through this statement, it is enough to show that the short man lied before.
But it is precisely this statement that shows that his account of the town is true.
Xu Renjie didn't plan to continue to dwell on this time, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the mountains and forests not far away, as a field scout, he knew very well the difficulty of surviving in the wild jungle.
Although that mountain forest is still far from the real primeval jungle, for ordinary people, trying to survive in that environment is already a challenge to the limit.
"You've been living with your wife and children in that forest?"
"Hmm!" The short man replied softly.
In this regard, Lao Xu said sincerely, "It's not easy!" ”
As Xu Renjie, who has survived in the wild jungle, he knows very well how difficult it is to survive in the forest.
What's more, the thin and short man in front of him has not received any professional survival training, and he dragged his wife and son.
He alone lived for 4 months in the mountains and forests where the dead were in charge and the news was closed.
But this perseverance and patience really made him admire.
But the short man who was used to scavenging and begging didn't seem to find it difficult, and he laughed honestly: "Hehe, I can't help it, you know, I've always been worried that I will be caught killing people, so my wife and children will have no one to rely on." So I hid in the mountains, and it was a little bitter, but we were used to it in our lives. ”
The shorter the man spoke, the quieter his voice became. In desperation, Lao Xu Neng felt deep in the short man's heart. There is a deep sense of guilt.
That's as a man, guilt for his wife and children.
For such a person, Xu Renjie said lightly: "Go back with us, you can have a place to live." ”
The short man didn't answer, he seemed to be considering.
Wei Dazhuang, who had the same feeling, spoke again and persuaded: "Big brother, the place where we live is a big house, which is definitely better than a cave." There's no need to let your wife and children suffer. ”
Undoubtedly, Da Zhuang's words are quite straightforward.
But the short man ......
"Thank you, big brothers! If someone had mentioned this to me 4 months ago, I would have agreed without hesitation, but now ......" subconsciously looked at the mountain, and the short man smiled: "I've been on the mountain for so long, hehe, I'm used to life in the forest, and I heard the eldest brother talk about the situation in the city just now, and I feel that it's safe to stay on the mountain." Besides, my family has traveled north and south in this life. Heaven and earth have adapted to home, and now we have to take root in a place, hehe. Really...... Oh, by the way, do you want to sit with me? ”
Sincerely sending out the invitation, a rare smile appeared on the short man's face.
However, Tang Xiaoquan still politely declined the other party's kindness, after all, there were still nearly 3 hours to drive, and it would be difficult to get back to the station before dark if he continued to delay.
"Brother, we appreciate your kindness, but we still have something to do, so we won't go to you."
"That'll do. It's all about busyness. The short man was not pretentious, and put the pack back on his shoulder. After flipping it twice to confirm that it was solid, he shook hands with the few people in front of him one by one.
"Brother. Then you take care, if you are bored in the mountains in the future, you can go to the suburban villa to find us, and you can find it along the road out of the city all the way to the west, what do you call it? ”
"I, Niu Lizhan! What about you? ”
"Xu Renjie!"
"Tang Xiaoquan!"
"Wei Dazhuang!"
"Hu Xiaodong!"
"Wang Qiang!"
"Tang Xiaoquan!"
"Okay, we'll meet later!"
After the breakup, the survivors quickly walked in the direction of the city management car.
Now that the clues are in place, there is no point in staying here.
Although this trip did not meet Tang Xiaoquan's parents as expected, everyone knows that the clues of the shelter they currently have in their hands will be the key to determining the whereabouts of the former's parents.
Without further ado, Xu Renjie had already decided in his mind that after returning to the station, he would immediately hold a meeting to discuss the next steps.
A few people walked around the alley when they came, and occasionally a few beasts with short eyes were easily knocked down by the survivors.
However, by the time the survivors walked out of the alley and returned to the right path, the place where the chengguan car was parked was already surrounded by swaying beasts.
"I'm cāo! What the hell is this! ”
It is no wonder that Wang Qiang would let out such a dark sigh, his eyes were swaying with beasts, almost all of them had scorched black skin, and even more so, the bone joints were directly exposed, forming a natural bone blade.
"Prepare for battle!" Xu Renjie didn't talk nonsense, and Hu Xiaodong also raised the recurve bow in his hand for the first time.
There are about 10 enemies, which is not difficult for survivors.
Soon the charred zombies attracted by the previous engine found the survivors walking towards them, and immediately roared excitedly, and the two evolved runners immediately drove their pace and quickly rushed towards the survivors.
"Whew! Shout! Two arrows rang out, Xu Renjie and Hu Xiaodong each selected their targets, a crossbow and a bow shot out almost at the same time, and after half a second of the galloping arrows, they accurately reimbursed the beasts who had impacted.
With one blow, the two of them took the arrow again.
Immediately after that, there were two more "booms", and the beast fell to the ground again.
As the distance from the chengguan car got closer and closer, Wei Dazhuang drew the machete on his back with his hand.
He didn't care whether he blocked the vision of the "archer" behind him, and he stood with the beast with his knife.
I have to say that after these beasts were tempered by the fire, the fleshless joints have turned into hard and sharp bone blades under the baptism of time.
This made Wei Dazhuang touch with a knife, and he immediately felt surprised.
Because according to the taste, when he goes down with this knife, he must have cut off the latter's bones.
And now only a dimple in the surface of its bones.
Also surprised was Wang Qiang, who was stunned and almost hit by a bone blade.
Fortunately, the instinctive reaction that he exercised on weekdays was on him, and after this battle, Wei and Wang, who were in close combat, did not dare to be careless.
“nmd! These brutes have really hard bones now! Big Zhuang, be careful! ”
After an attack by the beast in front of him at the moment, Wang Qiang kindly reminded him loudly.
It's just that before his words fell, Wei Dazhuang's burst of shouts immediately sounded. (To be continued).
