Chapter 702: A Detour
Liu Gouyu listened to the conversation between the two of us, and a subtle expression of unknown meaning crossed his face, but he returned to normal in an instant.
Zhang Qiang and I, who were talking, naturally didn't see this scene.
After discussing it, the three of us rested for a few minutes at the foot of the snowy mountain, then got up again and prepared to continue our departure.
The road leading to the top of the snow-capped mountain in front of us spirals upward, like the lines on a spinning top, if I have to describe it.
So, it's not too steep.
Although along the way, you can still see many large and small stones on both sides of the road.
However, the two-meter-wide road is much easier to walk on than the previous mountain wall path.
The ground was still thick with snow, and people stepped on it with a creaking sound.
It was quiet, except for the whirring of the wind and the occasional sound of snow falling on the branches.
But the quieter it is, the more weird it feels.
We spiraled upwards for about twenty minutes.
Finally, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but look at me: "Gao Wei, you say, isn't it a little weird here??" Didn't that Collier tell us before that there should be some aborigines living in this area? But, we've been gone for so long, why haven't I seen anyone yet?? ”
Listening to Zhang Qiang's words, I also had a strange feeling in my heart.
"yes!! It stands to reason that we've been walking for so long, and we should be able to see some talents, but ......"
Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly stopped.
Because, less than three meters in front of us, there is a corner facing to the right.
The other end of the corner seemed to make some strange noises as I spoke.
When Zhang Qiang saw my appearance, he looked at me a little strangely: "Gao Wei, what's wrong??" ”
"yes, what's going on??" Liu Gouyu also looked at me in surprise.
They wanted to say something, but I shook my head at them, stretched out my hand and made a silent gesture, signaling him and Liu Gouyu not to talk first.
Liu Gouyu also saw my abnormality, so he also kept silent.
I saw that they had quieted down, so I raised my hand and pointed to the corner and whispered, "Did you hear any strange sounds over there?" ”
Zhang Qiang and Liu Gouyu glanced at each other, then shook their heads at me.
"I didn't hear anything, did you?? Could it be that you heard it wrong?? Zhang Qiang also whispered to me.
I glanced at them and didn't say much, but gestured to them and motioned for them to come with me around the corner.
With that, the three of us tiptoed around the corner, cautiously poked our heads out, and looked at the other end.
However, after just one look, I was frozen in place on the spot.
Zhang Qiang and Liu Gouyu naturally saw this scene.
All three of us were taken aback.
We quickly retracted our bodies back into the corner, and then retreated more than ten meters and hid behind a boulder, and we breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right!!
On the other side of the corner, there were many zombies wandering on the road.
Judging from the clothes of those zombies, they should be the aborigines of the permafrost snowfield.
It seems that these people are also infected with the virus, causing them to mutate into monsters.
And the strange sounds I heard earlier came from their throats.
The aborigines who had turned into zombies roamed the mountain road in front of them in twos and threes.
I don't know how many zombies there are, but when I looked over there just now, I couldn't see the end.
That is, there may be many times more of them than we think.
Thinking of this, my heart instantly cooled a little.
"Gao Wei, what should we do now??? The aborigines have become zombies, which means that we can't eat their food. Moreover, there are a bit too many of them, right?? It's just the three of us, what can we do next?? Zhang Qiang asked in a low voice.
I looked at Zhang Qiang and Liu Gouyu, who were a little scared, and I felt a little bottomless.
But even if I was scared, I couldn't let them see it.
After steasing my nerves, I said, "Now there are only three of us, and there are only a limited number of guns and ammunition. Therefore, unless you have to do so, you can't go head-to-head with them, you have to find a way to outwit them. ”
As I spoke, I subconsciously turned my head to look around.
After looking at it for a while, my gaze finally stopped on the snow-capped mountain wall on our right.
The slope on this is actually not too steep.
If you want to avoid those zombies, there seems to be only one way.
After thinking for a moment, I looked up at Zhang Qiang and Liu Gouyu: "I have thought of a way!" ”
"What's the solution??"
When they heard this, they immediately asked in unison.
I turned my head to look at the mountain wall on the right: "You see, the slope of this snow-capped mountain is not too steep. Our purpose is mainly to enter the underground castle halfway up the mountain behind the snow-capped mountain and get the fragments. So, my thoughts are: Instead of taking the main road, he climbed the mountain wall and went around the slope to the back halfway of the snow-capped mountain [vinegar slip literature is the fastest release]. In this way, we can save stamina and ammo while avoiding head-on clashes with zombies. ”
When Zhang Qiang heard this, he also glanced at the mountain wall on our right.
"Shhh The slope here is not steep at all, and the angle between it and the ground is only about 20 degrees at best, so we can climb up from here!! Zhang Qiang said, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of hope.
I smiled, "That's right!!!" Without further ado, let's get started now!! ”
In this way, after discovering the zombies on the road ahead, the three of us chose to climb up the hill and bypass the hillside.
After all, getting the fragments is the most important thing.
Because the slope wasn't too big, we stepped on some big rocks that fell around and quickly climbed to the top.
In fact, the top is relatively flat, and people don't feel any difficulty at all when they step on it.
We glanced at each other and walked cautiously along the side of the hill.
After walking for more than ten meters, we could clearly see many zombies wandering below.
I swallowed and whispered, "Thankfully we chose to go from above!" Otherwise, there are so many zombies, in case one is not careful, we may have to explain here today!! ”
"Yes!! Who do you think is spreading this virus so hatefully?? What kind of heart does he have? So bad!! Zhang Qiang glanced down and couldn't help but sigh.
He wanted to say something, but I covered his mouth.
Because, suddenly, I noticed that those zombies seemed to hear us talking!!
