Located in the southwestern suburbs of N City, the forest park is a national 5A-level tourist attraction, covering a total area of about 6,800 hectares of the park, 85% of which is occupied by a mountain range called Xiaoshan, the highest peak of Xiaoshan is 550 meters, which is a place where many mountaineering and exercise enthusiasts in N City challenge for a long time, and most of the scenic spots in the forest park are also in this Xiaoshan.

It is said that the park is also long refers to the front mountain part of Xiaoshan facing southwest, and a man-made landscape park established at the southwest foot of Xiaoshan, after entering the park from the south gate, through the parking lot, you can see the forest park landscape built by the government around a large lake at the foot of the mountain, which is composed of a cultural relics exhibition hall, a water amusement park and a mass leisure area, the most popular among the citizens is Xiaoshan after passing through the park, the mountain forest vegetation coverage area has reached 90%, summer summer retreat, spring and autumn flowers and maple appreciation, In winter, there is also a ski resort open to the public, which is a must-visit place for many tourists who come to N City, and of course, it is also a very popular scenic spot for N City citizens.

But due to the large area, located in the northeast of the back mountain has not been opened at present, some local mountain people live in it, Yanran looks like a paradise, but because the back mountain has not been developed, the environment has been well protected, but also created a high-quality habitat for creatures, of course, there are some beasts in and out of it, of course, the beasts are only hearsay, there are no citizens to see with their own eyes, but for the sake of safety, the N City Tourism Bureau still reminds the public and foreign tourists not to break into the back mountain casually, In case of accidents, even so, people go missing here every year, so Houshan is also nicknamed the mysterious place of N City by the citizens.

It is such a mysterious land that has become the last area of N City that has not been entered by the search and rescue and search and arrest forces, because no one knows what kind of danger is hidden in the back mountain, so no troops dare to break into it easily, and there are no troops stationed near the entire forest park, perhaps because the south gate of the forest park is 3 kilometers away from the defense wall, and about 10 kilometers outside the wall is the Security Council, so there is not a lot of investment in the defense here.

At this time, it was close to midnight, and the entire forest park was particularly quiet under the cover of darkness, and the occasional hiss of a few wild beasts brought a trace of life to the whole park.

Pang Jun who just came down from the exit of the high-speed around the city, they can already see the outline of Xiaoshan, after the high-speed exit, there is only one road leading directly to the south gate of the forest park, there is no light all the way, it is dark, at this time this road is much wider than the high-speed, maybe there are not many tourists when the virus breaks out, so there are not many abandoned vehicles along the way at this time, and the car drives very smoothly.

About 10 minutes away, the car came to the door of the south gate, the stone pillar of the national forest park at the south gate has been surrounded by wanton plants, the iron gate at the door is also open inward, the rust is stained, the door of a small sentry box at the door is open, but the inside is empty.

The car drove straight into the open gate, a parking lot that can accommodate 400 cars immediately appeared in front of him, where the headlights shone away, the parking space line on the ground is still very clear, but there are many plants in the cracks of some cement floors, and some abandoned vehicles are scattered on the huge square, there are various brands of private cars, and there are buses of various travel companies, but at this time they are all the same, the car is empty, and it is parked there quietly, It seems to be waiting for the owner who was playing in the park to return.

Drive along the main road all the way, is an antique corner tower style building appeared in front of you, the corner tower is divided into three floors, the first floor is the ticket office and souvenir supermarket, the second floor is a restaurant with the name of the mountain wild people, the third floor is the place where the staff office rests, there are several ticket gates on one side of the ticket hall of the corner tower, at this time the fence of the ticket gate has been because no one has maintained it for a long time, broken and fell to the side, look inward along the ticket gate, it is pitch black, you can hear the rustle of the wind blowing through the vegetation, everything is so quiet.

The car was parked directly in a parking space closest to the corner tower, and Pang Jun asked everyone to take their weapons and equipment and belongings and get out of the car.

Yao Feijie muttered as she got out of the car: "What are we doing in the mountains in the middle of the night, Team Pang, are you really sure that my brother will hide here?" Besides, with such a big forest park, where can we find them? ”

Pang Jun stopped the hand he was packing, turned around and glanced at Xiaoshan in the distance, sighed and said: "I'm not sure, but at least it's much safer here than staying in the city, if we stay in the city, our actions are likely to be exposed to the eyes of the search team during the day, and even if we don't have the possibility of finding Zhang Weimin and them, we may still find a chance to sneak out of the wall." In fact, Pang Jun himself knows very well in his heart the defensive power on the outer wall of N City, the rumors of three steps and one sentry and five departments and one sentry box are really not a joke, although it is not so exaggerated, but in order to prevent zombies or virus carriers from running out, the council has arranged a large number of troops, and the three shifts are stationed 24 hours a day in the morning, noon and evening.

But Pang Jun intuitively believed that it was best to meet Zhang Weimin, and if he couldn't, he could see the situation outside in the mountains, and the mountains were the best barriers, which would also cause great obstacles to the troops searching for them.

Pang Jun ignored the complaints of the team members, picked up his backpack, stepped on the submachine gun and walked straight over the ticket gate towards the park, and after locking the car door with his shirt, he also brought his own equipment to follow, Qi Linlin comforted Yao Feijie while holding the equipment and followed closely behind them.

Didn't go far through the ticket gate, we saw a huge naturally formed lake, this lake is called Xiaoshan Lake, the lake water is clear all the year round, it is rich in a kind of fleshy and fatty fish, the locals will cook in a special way, so Xiaohu fish has also become a well-known delicacy in N City, many diners from all over the country will also come to taste this delicious taste, but the scene at this time is difficult to make people interested in eating, looking at the calm lake that occasionally ripples blown by the autumn equinox, Pang Jun has a thousand thoughts, He walked quietly to the lake, took a cigarette in his pocket, lit it, and looked at the lake without saying a word.

The three people behind also followed, Qi Linlin walked to Pang Jun's side, looked at the lake in front of her like Pang Jun and said, "Team Pang, what is your next plan?" ”

Pang Jun took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "There is no plan for the time being, and I don't know what we should do next." ”

"Are you planning to climb the mountain or are you stationed at the foot of this mountain waiting for Zhang Weimin and them?" Qi Linlin made the only two possibilities.

Pang Jun was still silent, but he raised his head and looked at the small hill in front of him on the map, at this moment it is indeed very spectacular, although his altitude is only 550 meters, but when you really stand at his feet, you will sigh for his majesty and sigh your own insignificance, according to the mountaineering enthusiasts' years of climbing experience, the middle does not stop climbing, it takes about 3 hours, but this is just along the developer's built landscape hiking trail, if from the mountain trail, then the time is uncertain, Because there are many mountain trails leading to the top of the mountain, some faster and some slower.

Pang Jun suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Linlin and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Qi Qi Linlin hurriedly raised his wrist and looked at his watch, the time came to 12:35, Qi Linlin guessed Pang Jun's thoughts, and in order to prove him, he continued: "Team Pang, are you planning to climb the mountain?" ”

Pang Jun looked at him, didn't squeak, just nodded.

"Climbing at this point seems to be a bit dangerous, we only have a few tactical flashlights, so we can't see anything clearly, and if you climb up, we may not be able to predict many dangers in advance, so I don't recommend climbing at this time." Qi Linlin said what she thought.

Pang Jun looked at Qi Linlin with both eyes, but did not speak, he knew what Qi Linlin meant, and he also understood the danger of mountaineering at the moment, even if he walked up the landscape road, it did not mean that it was all safe, since the outbreak of the virus, Xiaoshan has not been maintained for a long time, at this time, what kind of vegetation has grown in the mountains and forests, and what wild beasts will haunt it, and he doesn't even know if there will be anyone hiding in it, and even if Zhang Weimin and they are already in the mountains at this time, they can't find it, if they are really there, And if he didn't meet it, it was likely to delay the next plan, although he didn't know why he just ran to the forest park with them to find Zhang Weimin just by instinct, and now that he thinks about it, it is likely that it is probably to avoid the council's arrest.

The flower shirt leaned against the stone pillar of a gazebo on the side and smoked, the two little eyes looked around the park by the moonlight, and then looked up at Xiaoshan not far away, Yao Feijie, who was sitting in the gazebo, opened a bottle of mineral water and drank it in a big gulp.

Hua Shirt looked at Yao Feijie with a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "What's your brother's name, is your brother your own?" Isn't it very good to work at Scar Man, there is food and drink, why do you have to come here to suffer this sin with us? ”

Yao Feijie screwed the cap of the bottle and said: "My parents are all buried in the disaster of the virus, my brother is a criminal policeman, his name is Yao Qihang, everyone likes to call him Da Zhuang, when the virus broke out, he was on a mission, our community was attacked by zombies, many people were infected, I followed the fleeing crowd of the community to hide in a safe area in the city, I don't know where this safe zone is, no one answered my brother's mobile phone, and then we lost contact, until the last time the Pang team came to the factory to grab X reagents, I just saw my brother's figure, and later learned from Team Pang that it was my brother, and I ignited my hope, because the purpose of my stay was to find my brother! ”

After listening to what Yao Feijie said, the cigarette almost fell to the ground, and he said in surprise: "That big guy is your brother?!" It's too much of a coincidence, I've been thinking all the way, you guys will be Zhang Weimin, and you'll be your brother, I don't know what the connection is, it turns out that your brother and Zhang Weimin are in a group? ”

"Yes, what's the matter, they were also partners in the police force before, why did you react so much, have you seen it?" Yao Feijie asked puzzled.

"Well...... En......" Hua shirt grabbed his head, recalling the scene when he met Da Zhuang, when his subordinates had beaten him, but at this time he had to face his sister, and it was really difficult to answer for a while, so he could only stammer: "Count...... At last...... See...... I've seen it! ”

Yao Feijie looked at the flower shirt with disdain, she didn't know why she mentioned her brother, the flower shirt was nervous like this, suddenly he thought of something, and said: "Have you done anything bad before, you were caught by my brother, you don't look like a good person with this long face, you must have done a lot of bad things!" ”

Hua Shirt almost fell to the ground, but it was okay, he didn't want to explain too much to Yao Feijie, so he could only look at Yao Feijie with a positive face without speaking.

At this time, Pang Jun, who was standing by the river, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, beckoned Hua Shirt and Yao Feijie to take their equipment and prepare to climb the mountain.

Hua Shirt immediately picked up his backpack and followed Pang Jun and Qi Linlin, who had already begun to walk towards the foot of the mountain, with Yao Feijie.

Pang Jun took into account the unknown danger that Qi Linlin said, for the sake of safety, he decided to take three people up from the landscape avenue, to reach the viewing platform at the top of the mountain in the shortest time, and wait for dawn to stand on the top of the mountain to see the situation outside the wall, you can also observe the movement in the council, you can also use the natural green barrier of Xiaoshan to hide yourself, he brought flint, shovels and other simple wild survival equipment in his backpack, there is also a lot of game on the mountain, and it is not a problem to stay in it for ten days and half a month. He still had a hunch that Zhang Weiming would think the same way, so he still firmly believed that Zhang Weimin would come here with his team, and everything would be known after the meeting.

The four of them started the mountaineering journey in silence, without saying anything all the way, everyone followed closely together silently, about 1 hour of climbing, Yao Feijie really couldn't climb, looking at the panting Yao Feijie, Qi Linlin proposed to rest for a while in a gazebo not far away.

So the four of them persevered together and came to the pavilion, as soon as they entered the pavilion, Yao Feijie immediately leaned on the bench in the pavilion and went limp, and the flower shirt on the side took the opportunity to tease her little fat girl, at this time Yao Feijie had no strength to argue with him, looking at Yao Feijie who was lying there, and several other people also took out water from their backpacks and sat on the side to rest.

At this time, the grass around the pavilion suddenly shook, making a rustling sound, as if something was about to come out of it, Pang Jun and Qi Linlin immediately became alert, stood up and carefully took the flashlight to shine on the shaking grass.

At this time, I suddenly only listened to the 'whoosh' body, and suddenly slipped under my feet, and then was wrapped in a net in an instant, and 4 people were hung in the air at once, and then a sandbag-like thing was thrown under their feet, and a burst of smoke floated out, the smell was very pungent, and the 4 people immediately fell into a coma after smelling it.

Seeing that the four people had stopped moving, several masked people came out of the grass and surrounded Pang Jun.
