Chapter 231: Everyone Lifts the Car
At first, Zhang Weimin and Pang Jun and Da Zhuang behind him thought that there were still zombies that had not been cleaned up, but this beating point of light was different from the unique blood-red eyes of zombies, so Zhang Weimin boldly raised his tactical flashlight and looked in the direction of the opposite point of light.
Immediately appeared in the place where the tactical flashlight shone out, a dozen scrawny and peasant-looking men in tattered clothes, both old and young, and the fiery red jumping points of light were emitted by the kerosene lamps they were carrying.
This scene made Zhang Weimin feel a little familiar, when he first came to the foot of Xiaoshan, the fourth grandfather and the soldiers appeared in front of the minibus like this.
However, these people did not come up to question Zhang Weimin and them directly like Ah Bing, but just looked at the three soldiers in search and rescue suits standing in front of them with dull eyes.
The clothes and dirty faces of these people, coupled with this dull gaze, if it weren't for the fact that they didn't make the unique roar of zombies, Zhang Weimin and several of them almost took out their guns and shot, but after observing themselves, Zhang Weimin finally determined that these people were people and not zombies.
So he boldly walked over and said, "Fellow villagers, are you the trapped people nearby? We are members of the search and rescue team, and we happened to pass by here, and I would like to ask what kind of place is this? ”
A middle-aged man wearing a navy blue torn cotton jacket walked out of the team, he was unkempt, his skin was dark, the garlic nose on his face was very conspicuous, and he said in a thick local accent: "We are the villagers of Group A of Jianping Village behind this hillside, you are the search and rescue team, what search and rescue team?" What are you doing here at night? ”
Zhang Weimin glanced at the group of people in front of him again and said: "We are in a hurry back to the eastern camp, and we happened to pass by you, but there was a car accident, and we were attacked by zombies, and we were forced to be trapped here. ”
"Let's go, can you still walk?" A white-bearded old man on crutches walked over slowly, looked up and down at Zhang Weimin, who was not tall and dressed in camouflage uniforms, and continued: "There are these living dead people who deceive corpses everywhere, where else can you go?" I don't know what kind of crime is bad that alarmed God and wants to punish us like this! You said you are a search and rescue group, what kind of organization is the search and rescue group? Which village and which group? ”
Zhang Weimin listened to the words of these villagers in Group A of Jianping Village, and the second monk was a little confused, he didn't understand why these village names called these zombies the living dead, but thinking about it, there were really some similarities, but they didn't know the existence of the search and rescue team at all, which made him feel incredible.
In order to get closer to the villagers, Zhang Weimin took out a cigarette and distributed it to the villagers present, but he also lit one and asked: "Old man, why don't you evacuate here, it's so dangerous here." ”
The old man took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "The people of our village have lived here for generations, everyone has not read any books, they are farmers facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they have no skills and abilities to go out, and they can't do any big business. ”
"But do you know what's going on here?" Da Zhuang said as he put away the weapon in his hand.
"Oh, it's all retribution!" The old man on crutches suddenly became a little emotional: "This is all the trouble of those young people who don't honestly help the young people who farm, let them live well in the village farming, but they don't want to, they go to the city and mix around and come back without success, which angers God, our village has been the life of farmers for generations, and it can't be broken, now it's okay, since they came back, the people in the village have begun to become this monster who is not a person, a ghost or a ghost, and often attacks us, hey, I have long advised them to farm steadily...... "The old man on crutches beat his chest and stomped his feet.
Zhang Weimin hurriedly stopped it, and said: "Old people, folks, these monsters are not the punishment of God as you say, he is a virus, the few people you go to the city must have been infected with this virus, and then spread it in the village when they came back, so this has nothing to do with fate!" ”
"How it doesn't matter!" Garlic nose immediately denied: "It's that after they came back, the old and young in the village began to become like this one by one, all because they kept the village chief's persuasion, and they had to go to the big city to create a world, but the fart didn't mix, and they also harmed our people, and everyone can't live their lives now." ”
Zhang Weimin really didn't know how to explain to these village names in his heart, just like the old man on crutches said, these people have not read much, have not gone out, and don't know what the outside world is like at all, Zhang Weimin really can't believe that there are really such backward and closed villages in China now, and it is still in this relatively economically developed central region, but now is not the time to think about these, he looked at these people in front of him and suddenly thought of something.
He handed out another round of cigarettes to the villagers, and after lighting it on the old man on crutches, he said with a smile: "Old man, where do you live now, is it far from this highway?" ”
The old man hadn't smoked so happily for a long time, so he didn't hesitate to choke and take a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled his cigarette and pointed to the hillside not far behind him and said: "We are now hiding in that hillside, we are digging a hole in the ground, and we will come out to farm during the day to make a living, and at night everyone will climb the ashes to rest in the hole, but I don't know what happened recently, there are suddenly a lot of these people around who are not ghosts and ghosts, so for the sake of safety, we now have people on night duty near this highway, To protect everyone's safety, I happened to meet you, so I brought someone over to have a look. ”
"It's already very dangerous here, old man, I have a reluctant request, I want to ask you and the villagers to do us a favor, and in return we will do you a favor, do you think it's okay?" Zhang Weimin hurriedly followed the old man's words and asked tentatively.
"Kid, you said, as long as we can do it, we will help you!" The old man on crutches was also refreshed, and directly agreed to Zhang Weimin's request.
Zhang Weimin did not rush to say his request, but continued to ask: "Old man, how many people are there in your village now?"
The old man looked behind him and said, "There are only 26 people left, except for a few women who have left the hole in the hillside**, basically all here, kid, what do you need our help with?" ”
"Yes, that's right." Zhang Weimin thought for a while and said: "Old man, our car was accidentally hit by the rockfall on this hillside and hit the deserted field over there, now I am asking my team members to find stones and tree trunks to lift the car up, I want to borrow your people to help us straighten the car over, as long as the car can drive normally, we will take you out together, leave this infected area, and take you to arrange a new home, what do you think?" ”
The old man on crutches and a few people behind him looked at the A2 transport truck that Zhang Weimin pointed to and fell in the field behind him, and then said slowly: "Child, it's no problem to help you get a car, we don't want you to take us out, as long as you can give us something to eat!" ”
"Why, old man?" Da Zhuang didn't understand the stubbornness of this group of villagers: "Old man, we can provide you with food, but this is only temporary, isn't it good for you to take your villagers out with us?" You don't have to live in caves outside, and you don't have to worry about those monsters that are not human or ghost! ”
The old man on crutches slowly raised his head and looked at Da Zhuang, who was much taller than himself, and said: "Young man, didn't I tell you just now, the people of our village have lived here for generations, no matter what happens, we can't leave here easily, I believe that God's punishment is only temporary, and when his old man's anger passes, it will be fine soon." ”
Hearing the old man say this, Zhang Weimin, Da Zhuang and Pang Jun who were present didn't know what to say for a while, it seems that the group of people really don't know the reason for this disaster, but it's also good, in this environment, some things would rather not know too much, and it's not a good thing to be an ordinary participant, at least don't worry about whether there will be zombies attacking you after the sun comes out tomorrow morning, or if there are any new mutant creatures to fight it, It doesn't matter what kind of orders and new tasks will be carried out from above.
Zhang Weimin knew that Da Zhuang said this out of enthusiasm, but he understood Da Zhuang's temper, so he persuaded these simple villagers that it was better to follow them, which would be good for everyone, so Zhang Weimin hurriedly said: "Old man, food and everything are also in the car, and as soon as the car is lifted, we will give you all the food!" ”
Seeing that the old man nodded, Zhang Weimin held a tactical flashlight and brought the names of the village to the side of the A2 transport vehicle, the rain had stopped, and Yin Chenbao and they also came to the side of the car with a pine trunk about 30 cm thick.
Seeing Zhang Weimin bringing these dozen villagers over, Yin Chenbao asked puzzledly: "Team Zhang, who are these people?" ”
"This is the villagers of Group A of nearby Jianping Village, they have been living in the opposite hillside, and it happened that we met when we were looking for stones, and everyone was very enthusiastic, and they were ready to help us turn the car over together." Zhang Weimin said immediately.
A group of village names looked around the two A2 transport trucks they had never seen before, and the middle-aged man with a garlic nose said: "Sir, what kind of car are you, we have never seen such a big car, and there is a shovel head in front of this car, it would be much more convenient if we had such a car with a shovel head when we were doing farm work." ”
Hearing the garlic nose call himself chief, Zhang Weimin couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly said: "My name is Zhang Weimin, and I am the captain of the search and rescue team, you can call me Team Zhang." ”
"Okay, Captain Zhang, hello, my name is Xue Fugui, they all like to call me Huzi, because I am a tiger, you and your team members can also call me this, this old man is the head of our village, we all call him uncle!" Garlic Nose introduces the name of the village to the members of Operation Doom.
Zhang Weimin also politely introduced his team members to the villagers of Group A of Jianping Village.
A tall and thin man in the village, wearing a dark cotton suit with several patches, said after several laps around the car: "Captain Zhang, we don't count the 13 men of the eldest uncle, plus you 11 men, as long as we work together, we can push this cart right, no need to use any stones, branches, how troublesome!" ”
Zhang Weimin looked at the A2 transport vehicle, and then looked at the people around him, and felt that what the thin and tall villager said also made some sense, so he summoned the people to the side where the transport truck fell, and then arranged everyone's standing positions, and the eldest uncle was responsible for shouting slogans.
The slogan of "one-two, one-two" was issued, and everyone worked together, because the rain had just stopped, the abandoned fields were still very slippery, and the soles of everyone's feet were a little slippery.
After the first attempt failed, Huzi asked everyone to take the lead in stepping on a small pit where they were stepping, and then Zhang Weimin found some ropes and tied them to the roof of the car, and then 5 or 6 people came to the other side of the car to be responsible for pulling the rope, so that while lifting, pulling, and working hard.
Zhang Weimin had to admire the wisdom of these villagers, and sure enough, the wisdom of the working people should not be underestimated.
Although the body of the A2 transporter was very heavy, the 20 men were successfully lifted up by them despite their best efforts.
The on-board machine gun of the A2 transporter was pressed on the side below has been damaged, and the machine gun on the side of the big rock impact has also been damaged, and the impact has caused a large pit to be recessed on the side of the collision, and the door of the transport room behind it has also been deformed by this sudden impact, resulting in the two doors can not be closed, and the road members who return to the eastern battalion can only spend time in the transport vehicle with the open door, and the most uncomfortable thing is that the spare mailbox and spare tire box on the left side of the transport vehicle have been damaged by the falling stones, The diesel fuel in the spare mailbox was spilled all over the ground, but fortunately, there was no problem with the main fuel tank, and the amount of fuel was enough to rush back to the eastern camp.
After seeing that the car was successfully straightened, Zhang Weimin took the members of the Doomsday Action Team to express his gratitude to the villagers of Group A of Jianping Village, and at the same time carried out all the dry food from the car with everyone and handed it to the villagers.
The eldest uncle walked over to Zhang Weimin, who was watching everyone take food, and patted Zhang Weimin and said, "Captain Zhang, where are you going to take us out?" ”
Zhang Weimin looked at the eldest uncle with some confusion and asked, "Uncle, are you planning to go with us again?" ”。
The eldest uncle pointed at the stone not far from the transport truck with a cane and showed a weird smile, and then said: "No, no, no, Captain Zhang, you are wrong, not with you, we will go by ourselves!" ”
