In the early morning, everything was silent, and a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon carefully soaked the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved from afar.

The lake in Central Park in N City sparkles in the sun's reflection, and everything seems to be so beautiful that you forget that this is a forbidden place that has been eroded by the virus for months.

More than 3 months ago, Central Park was very lively in the early morning, with Tai Chi aunts and uncles, morning joggers and pets walking.

Suddenly several heads popped out of the grass on the shore of the lake, sleepy-eyed, apparently having chosen this beautiful park known as the city's green lung for the night last night.

"I'll just say, Central Park is safe, there will be no zombies here." A man with glasses buttoning up his shirt said.

"You're amazing, the most well-informed, if you hadn't proposed to go on an adventure in Central Park, who would have slept with you in this place, damn my back was so uncomfortable." A fatter man followed and came out of the bushes.

"You're embarrassed to complain, you didn't get anything all night, and you were almost attacked by zombies, so you won't even have anything to eat." Another very thin man came out from behind the bushes.

It turns out that these three people are in a safe area outside Central Park, a few good friends, they have been hiding in the safety zone organized by the community for more than 3 months waiting for rescue, really bored 3 people want to come out to seek the next thrill, by the way to the supermarket on the street to search for some delicious food, the food supplied to everyone in the safety zone is really bad, not instant noodles ham sausage, or bread compressed biscuits, it is too short of oil and water, so the three people slipped out of the safe area when everyone queued up to receive dinner in the evening, The fat man was scared at first, but thought that he would be happy if he came out to find meat or even a pack of spicy strips, so he came out with glasses and skinny rods, and what they didn't expect was that almost all the supermarkets within 3 kilometers around the security zone were looted.

The man with glasses was squatting by the lake and washing his face with the lake water, and when he heard the complaints of the two, he turned around and said, "I know that I complained, what did you two say before you came out, and now you regret it again?" ”

The fat man retorted when he heard what the glasses said: "I haven't eaten all night, and I'm really a little hungry and can't stand it." ”

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, and if you eat fat, I will carry you to feed the zombies!" The glasses looked a little impatient.

The fat man had to close his mouth when he heard this, and at this time, the thin rod who was washing his face by the lake suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at the lake in front of him, and suddenly jumped up happily and said to the two people behind him: "Don't you guys quarrel, didn't there be fish in this park lake before, let's catch a few and roast them and eat them, isn't it okay!" ”

After hearing this, the two people slapped their thighs and said yes, so they planned to get a few fish to satisfy their hunger, and the glasses family used to make aquatic products, and when he bought the goods, he went to the aquaculture center, and learned some skills from some masters who loved fishing, so he said to the two people: "We don't have fishing rods and nets now, let's make a harpoon, let's find a shallow place to spear fish to eat." ”

After hearing this, the fat man and the thin pole went to the grass behind them to look for materials for making harpoons, and left their glasses at the lake to find a suitable place for spearfishing.

The two of them found a few branches about the thickness of their little arms without much effort, they found a piece of concrete, took out the end of the branch and grinded it back and forth on the ground, until the head of the branch was sharpened, the two of them smiled at each other with satisfaction, and walked out of the grass.

When he walked to the lake, he was dumbfounded, and one of his sneakers was left on the shore, but the man was nowhere to be found, and the fat man said to the thin man: "Hey, where is the little four-eyed?" You won't go down and catch fish yourself, will you? ”

Thin Pole ran to the lake and picked up the sneakers with glasses, and then looked around, there was a watermark on the front of the shoes, and he had a hint of foreboding in his heart, so he turned to the fat man and shouted, "Let's go, I think something is wrong here." ”

He saw that the fat man was looking at the lake behind him in horror at this time, pointing behind him with trembling hands, and said vaguely: "You...... You...... Behind you, the water ...... Water...... Water ...... Be...... What is it? ”

Thin Pole was chilled down his spine by the fat man's words, and he almost froze there, but curiosity drove him to slowly turn his head and look behind him.

I saw a black shadow floating on the horizontal plane, and two huge spherical blood-red eyes were showing the water, staring at them, the thin pole was so frightened that he quickly twisted his head back, and wanted to pull his legs and run, but his legs did not obey the call, and the soft and soft could not take a step at all, and the fat man opposite him was even more frightened and sat down, and his crotch was wet.

Suddenly, a huge monster rushed out of the water, it opened its fishy mouth, leaked out of its mouth with countless sharp teeth with a length of 5 or 6 centimeters, and bit into the thin rod, the moment the monster opened its mouth, the fat man saw a piece of fabric stuck to the monster's teeth eye shirt, he understood it all, just like that, he sat there limp and watched the thin rod be wrapped in the monster's big mouth.

The thin rod didn't have time to let out a single shout, so it was swallowed by the monster into its mouth, and the monster retracted into the lake behind after eating the thin rod......

The search and rescue team that entered the city yesterday found a relatively safe place to set up a temporary camp, and a temporary camp was also built on the large lawn by the lake in Central Park, saying that the camp is actually a few small tents scattered here, and the team members stationed here are only about 20 people, which are composed of 1, 2, and 3 groups of personnel.

Pang Jun and the other two group leaders sat in a tent smoking cigarettes, all of them frowning, because they encountered similar difficulties as Zhang Weimin and the others had encountered before, and the trapped people were not saved, but their own team members were killed several times.

Chen Wu, the captain of Group 1, took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Team Pang, you said that the wave of people you met yesterday was also from the rescue team?" ”

"Yes, when I interrogated them, they told me it was 7 groups." Pang Jun looked at the captain of Group 1 and said.

"This can't be?" Wu Hao, the captain of Group 3 on one side, said: "Yesterday, Group 7 rescued us near the east of the city with us, and I also had contact with their captain. ”

"Yes, you also said that you followed them to the military base warehouse in the northern suburbs, and their team members also rescued you, which is impossible." Chen Wu added.

"Yes, I think the same as you do, and I don't believe it, but they wear the same camouflage uniforms as us, they carry the same weapons as us, and their skills in fighting zombies are definitely something that only trained people have." Pang Jun said.

"Just looking at their skills, you can't conclude that these people must be members of the search and rescue team, you must know that there are many martial arts halls in N City that are sanda and taekwondo, and there are still a lot of people who form death squads to strangle zombies in order to save themselves, and it is not ruled out that they are really people who pretend to be search and rescue teams." Wu Hao said.

"Yes, you're right, but there's one thing I haven't figured out, when I interrogated them yesterday, they said that they were a search and rescue team sent into the city the day before yesterday, which I think is very strange, didn't our mission just start yesterday, how could there be a search and rescue team into the city the day before yesterday, so I used our group number to set him, and the one who took the lead at that time did hesitate and said 7 groups." Pang Jun said with some confusion.

"Doesn't this make it clear that it is a fake, and no rescue team was sent into the city the day before yesterday." Chen Wu patted his chest and said.

"Yes." Wu Hao on the side added: "And they hesitated when answering your group code, which means that they are lying." ”

"But they don't look like bad guys with some intentions." Pang Jun was still a little confused.

"How can you tell the difference between good guys and bad guys in this chaotic city now, fighting and brawling for food supplies, and even causing deaths, no one cares at all, and why do they go to the military base to get weapons, have you ever thought about it?" Chen Wu asked.

Pang Jun didn't answer, just took a puff of cigarette silently, he intuitively thought that the group of people he met yesterday were not problematic people, they had more experience in fighting zombies than himself, and when they were in the warehouse at the moment, if they really had bad intentions, he and his team members would probably have died a long time ago.

"By the way, Team Pang, have you heard, last night on Nanqing Road, Group 9 was attacked by a group of gangsters during the night patrol, the captain Huang Xing and several of his subordinates were all subdued, and Huang Xing's mouth was full of blood." Wu Hao said.

"Yes, yes, I've heard that, too." Chen Wu hurriedly interjected: "What kind of people do you say live in this city, let's rescue them, but our own safety needs to be cared for." ”

Pang Jun looked at the two of them in a bit of confusion, because after escaping from the warehouse with the team members yesterday, the place where they went to the mission point was attacked by a group of zombies, the battle was tragic, and two more team members were infected, they only cared about asking for reinforcements and evacuation, and had no time to pay attention to the situation of other groups.

When the three of them were thinking about the next battle plan, suddenly they remembered the screams and gunshots outside the tent, and the three of them quickly put on their helmets, picked up their weapons and rushed out, and when they saw everything outside the tent, the three of them were stunned.

I saw a huge crocodile-like monster more than ten meters long lying on the lawn by the lake with its mouth open and roaring, a thigh in camouflage pants stuck between his teeth, and his blood-red eyes stared at several soldiers who were shooting at him in front of him, its whole body was surrounded by dark gray scales, the scales seemed to be particularly hard, and bullets hit it. The sound of clanging', the limbs were as short as a crocodile, but strong enough, it was immediately furious by the bullet, the back half of its body buried in the water trembled, a huge and thick tail flung out, a warrior standing on its side to shoot failed to dodge, was stabbed by the steel thorn at the end of the tail, pierced the body, pierced through, the whole person was strung on the tail, the giant crocodile-like monster shook its tail violently, the warrior on the tail screamed in mid-air in pain, and then the tail fell into the water, and the warrior stopped breathing。

The monster opened its mouth and roared at the people in front of it, and the scales of its body opened as it roared, revealing the foul-smelling carrion within, and some disgusting liquid oozing out.

The three captains standing on the side saw this scene, and asked the team members who were shooting to retreat quickly, because the bullet seemed to have no effect on it, and a brave warrior pulled out a grenade and wanted to throw it into the monster's mouth, but the grenade thrown in mid-air was pushed aside by the monster with a flick of its head, and before it could react, the monster threw its head at the warrior who threw the grenade, and the warrior died in the monster's mouth full of sharp teeth before he could shout.

Seeing this scene, everyone evacuated to the gate of the park, and the monster watched everyone run away, and did not chase after them, but turned around and slid back into the lake to find the body of the team member who had been stabbed in the tail by him.
