Chapter 489: Mountain and Forest Horror
There are obviously more houses on the mountain than below, and although the two teams do not have any communication, Ren is very tacitly responsible for this part of the house search task.
As everyone thought, the villagers in these houses had already left their homes because they were infected last night, and there was no one in the houses except for the furniture and daily necessities used by the village names.
And the zombies infected by the villagers that Dai Zhiqiang's team encountered on the mountain just now were all wandering among the mountains and forests after being infected, and they were wiped out for a while, and everyone never went there again, but according to the understanding of Wuwei Village, there should be more than that.
There is a small stream that meanders north along Wuwei Mountain at the back of the mountain forest in Wuwei Village, and this stream is not far behind the current position of the two teams, and it can be reached through the woods.
After the two teams searched all the houses on the mountain, they couldn't find anything, so everyone walked towards the stream behind Wuwei Village.
Dai Zhiqiang, as a local who is familiar with the environment here, took the lead in leading the team members to the front, and Zhang Weimin's doomsday action team followed closely behind.
After walking for about ten minutes, sure enough, a clear and winding stream appeared in front of the team members, and the sound of water flowing when such a clear stream water flowed formed a completely different feeling from the current environment, listening to the sound of running water, everyone felt very comfortable, and several team members were ready to squat down and drink a few sips.
But he was stopped by Dai Zhiqiang, who feared that the water would be polluted by infected villagers, and ordered that no one should use the water in the creek just in case.
The stream stretches forward for about 7.80 meters in the rain and then begins to fall, and a small waterfall is not very spacious, and after falling, a small pond is formed due to the long-term impact of the water, the water is not very deep, and the height of the waterfall is not very high, and in the summer it becomes a sacred place for children from three nearby villages to play in the water.
The lake has been flowing towards the north, the team members have been walking to the side of the small waterfall, looking at the small waterfall that is about 3 or 4 meters high, the two teams separately searched around, at this time the sun in the west has set a little, and some places under the waterfall have begun to be somewhat blocked by trees and cannot see clearly, at this time the team members have become more cautious.
After searching around the waterfall, everyone did not find the zombies, and at that time, Dai Zhiwen's team members, who had been competing with Guo Lin before, found the traces left by the zombies' rotten skin on a bush in the direction of the lake at 10 o'clock, so they hurriedly came back and made a report.
The group immediately followed the edge of the waterfall carefully to the nearest place below and jumped down, and soon the two teams found the traces left by the zombies on the grass that the team member said, and looked along the grass to the mountain forest behind, and there were many plants in it that were rubbed with blood, which had to attract the attention of the team members.
Dai Zhiqiang stood in front of the grass and said to everyone: "Down to the location of this lake, we have already left the boundary of Wuwei Village, this side is also called the back mountain by the villagers, this is usually the place where the village names come to pick medicine or dig wild vegetables, the zombies are obviously into this mountain forest, everyone pay attention to it, and I want to remind you that people who want to smoke are patient, smoking in the mountains and forests is very dangerous!" ”
The first half is to remind everyone to pay attention to safety, and the back is obviously to warn the members of the Doomsday Action Group, but at this time, the members of the Doomsday Action Team no longer have the energy to care about what Dai Zhiqiang said.
After finishing speaking, Dai Zhiqiang took the lead in following the bloodstains found into the mountain, and the armed police members followed one by one, and after all the armed police members walked in, Zhang Weimin followed with the members of the doomsday action team.
The occasional birdsong in the mountain forest made the two teams feel the vitality in the mountain forest, but soon everyone was attracted by the gusting smell of rancidity.
On the day everyone was walking, the mountain path suddenly appeared on the mountain path, and the corpses of some white ossified zombies that had been gnawed all the time appeared on the ground.
This is the corpse of a middle-aged male villager, his right arm, legs and stomach have been eaten by the zombies, revealing a bone with a little flesh, and half of the face has been torn off by the zombies, but from the other half of the face with this skin, it can be judged that this man has been infected and zombieized before he died, and the gray-brown skin and some decay on the only side of the face speak for itself.
A few slightly younger armed police soldiers actually retched a little when they saw this scene, after all, such a terrifying and terrifying scene would indeed make some people unacceptable for a while, not to mention these young armed police soldiers, even if it was the doomsday action team in the long-infected area, there were several team members who didn't want to take a few more glances at the zombie corpse.
"Team Dai, these guys probably can't find food, so they eat their companions!" An armed police soldier only walked to Dai Zhiqiang's side after inspecting the corpse of the zombie and said.
Dai Zhiqiang nodded, then looked around, pointed to the blood stains on the surrounding plants that were rubbed by the zombies, and said: "It seems that there are still a lot of zombies eating this companion, and they should have just left!" ”
The team member approached one of the bloodstained plants, looked at the blood stains on one of the leaves, and nodded in agreement with Dai Zhiqiang's judgment.
At this time, Zhang Weimin walked to Dai Zhiqiang's side and said: "Captain Dai, the zombies should run separately, and the bloodstains are divided into several directions, should we search separately first, and then gather back here!" ”
Dai Zhiqiang glanced at Zhang Weimin, then looked around the zombie corpses and said: "Well, it's okay, this will be faster, let's go from the 3 o'clock defense line, and you go in the direction of 6 o'clock!" With that, he gathered his team members to walk through the sheltered plants towards the depths of the three forests at 3 o'clock.
And Zhang Weimin returned to everyone, and then prepared to lead everyone towards 6 o'clock.
At this time, Da Zhuang suddenly stopped everyone and said, "Wait, brothers! ”
Zhang Weimin turned to look at Da Zhuang and said, "Da Zhuang, have you found anything?" ”
Da Zhuang squatted down with his nose covered, pointed to the edges of the various wounds on the zombie corpse and said, "Brothers, don't you think there is something wrong with this corpse? ”
When Da Zhuang said this, everyone also covered their noses with some curiosity and came closer, and the curious baby Yin Chenbao looked around and said: "Hey, big man, there's no problem, you can see something, it's all been eaten and the bones are exposed, what else can you see, it's not obvious that it was gnawed by zombies, so can someone eat the infected corpse?" "Three K
"No, brothers, think about it, we have been in the infected area for so long, and we have seen a lot of zombie corpses, in the case of excessive hunger, these guys will indeed eat their companions to satisfy their hunger, this is no problem, but is it the first time we have seen such a clean pit!" Da Zhuang continued.
"I'm hungry, big man, what's all the fuss about?" Flower Shirt also said with a nonchalant face.
"No, what Da Zhuang said does make sense!" Pang Jun pointed to a tooth mark on the exposed leg bone of the zombie's right thigh and said: "You see, no matter how the zombies are said, they are all changed by humans, and after humans are infected with the X virus, they mutate into zombies, and their bite force will indeed increase more or less, but there will be no teeth becoming so sharp!" ”
Everyone followed the direction Pang Jun pointed, and sure enough, they saw many marks gnawed out by sharp teeth on the exposed bones of the zombie.
"Maybe some of these mutated zombies originally had very sharp tiger teeth, and some people's tiger teeth were very sharp!" Yin Chenbao said.
"No, you look at the bite marks are obviously not human bite marks, the maximum angle of the average person opening their mouth is impossible to reach this distance, and then look at the distance from the front teeth to the back molars of this bite mark This is not left by humans at all!" Pang Jun said.
Everyone looked at it carefully, Zhang Weimin carefully observed one of the bite marks and said: "This is left by canine animals, obviously not bitten by zombies mutated by many people, it seems that there should be infected canine zombies in this mountain forest!" ”
"Zombie dogs?" Yin Chenbao stared at Zhang Weimin and asked, "Team Zhang, do you mean that there are also zombie dogs in this mountain forest that we saw in the bungalow area before?" ”
Zhang Weimin nodded and frowned and said: "It's probably not just a dog, looking at the tooth pitch, it's not small!" ”
"Team Zhang, you don't think there's a wolf, do you?" Flower shirt looked around a little nervously and said.
Zhang Weimin did not directly answer the guess of the flower shirt, but said to his teammates around him while getting up: "Everyone pay attention, let's go!" ”
The team members got up one after another to keep up, and the flower shirts looked nervously at the zombie corpses, and also followed quickly.
Just as he was about to walk towards his 6 o'clock, the screams of an armed police soldier came from the 3 o'clock direction where Dai Zhiqiang's group went, and then there was a rush of gunfire.
This sudden change made the entire team members of the Doomsday Operation Team, who were originally going to go to the 6 o'clock direction to carry out the search mission, immediately turn back and run in the direction of Dai Zhiqiang and their team.
The gunfire was very panicked, and the armed police members kept screaming, which made the members of the Doomsday Operation Team feel the urgency of the situation, and everyone held their weapons in their hands, opened the insurance, and prepared to meet the unknown danger at any time.
Dai Zhiqiang and they did not leave the zombie corpse just now to walk far, they were attacked by unknown creatures, when an armed police soldier followed behind everyone, he was attracted by the shaking bushes around him, so he stopped to observe, at this moment, a figure pounced out, bit his face, and then dragged him into the bushes behind, before the team members around him had time to see what was happening, their teammates disappeared into the bushes, followed by the screams behind the bushes, Several members of the team immediately opened fire into the bushes.
Just when these team members were shooting at the bushes that were dragged away, another voice came out from behind them, biting the back of one of them by the neck and dragging it violently into the bushes behind, and the next team began to get nervous, and even Dai Zhiqiang, who had seen many big battles, was a little flustered, and everyone sacrificed two comrades before they could see what came out of the bushes, which had to make the rest of the people start to panic.
Dai Zhiqiang was originally a little fearless, but by this sudden attack, he gradually began to become a little nervous, the fields of Tianjia Village and Wuwei Village have met zombies head-on, and after solving them easily, he felt that zombies are not so difficult to deal with for the first time, so he didn't worry about the next task at all, and took his team to imagine that he was secretly competing with professional search and rescue team member Zhang Weimin, and he was very competitive. I didn't find that Zhang Weimin was much stronger than the team he led, but after experiencing the sudden sacrifice of two team members, he began to come to his senses.
Dai Zhiqiang and the team members covered each other back to back in a circle of siege, and everyone looked nervously at the bushes in front of them, for fear that something would suddenly come out and attack everyone.
When I looked around so nervously, the group didn't know that danger was lurking on the branch above their heads.
Just when the team members looked at the surrounding bushes for a while and began to relax a little, a figure above their heads swooped down, bit the head of a soldier and dragged him towards the bushes on the side, when everyone shot at this black shadow, for the first time they saw this canine creature whose body was larger than the average canine, but there were many rotten places on his body, coupled with the rancid smell emitted when he ran away from the team members, As you might guess, this is a non-human creature that has been infected all along.
They are very fast and their teeth are very sharp.
Another team member was sneak attacked, Dai Zhiqiang began to break down a little, and the surrounding team members also began to be a little scared, everyone kept looking around and above, and the shaking of the wind through the trees would make the team members extremely nervous.
At this time, the bushes in front of Dai Zhiqiang suddenly began to shake violently, Dai Zhiqiang looked at the violently shaking bushes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then clenched the gun in his hand, his eyes were dead against the bushes, always ready to shoot as long as something jumped out.
Just as he was looking intently at the bushes, the shaking of the bushes became more and more intense, his index finger was already on top of the trigger, and the sweat on his cheeks began to slide downward, and his eyes looked at the shaking bushes for a moment.
The bushes shook for a while before suddenly coming to a standstill.
Dai Zhiqiang was a little puzzled, this was Zhang Weimin's voice suddenly heard from the bushes: "Captain Dai, it's us!" ”
