Chapter 3: The End Has Come
Dr. Du's small clinic.
On the bed lay Xiaobing who had just woken up from a coma, next to Dr. Du's daughter-in-law was slowly feeding him water with a water cup, and the village chief was sitting next to the bed with a slightly bent back, looking at Xiaobing sideways, and the house was full of villagers standing inside and outside the house. When everyone heard that the soldier had woken up, they all wanted to know what was going on, so they basically came. Everyone was surprisingly quiet, no one spoke, and they were all patiently waiting for the soldiers to finish drinking. Waiting to explain what he meant by the "monster" he just said vaguely.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The soldier pushed away the glass of water on the side of his mouth. Waving his hand to indicate that he is not drinking.
"Our air base was attacked by monsters, the squad leader and my comrades desperately covered me before I escaped, I ran with my head covered for a long time, until I ran out of strength to see the light, and then I fainted as soon as my eyes were black, I didn't expect to run to your village, I thought I was dead, thank you for saving me." The soldier said and wanted to sit up and bow to everyone.
"Lie down, lie down, don't say these polite words, whoever falls there, we can't see death without help." The village chief hurriedly held him down: "By the way, what is the monster you just said, can you tell us in detail."
The soldier sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, and found a comfortable position to sit down.
"Actually, I don't know much, it happened so fast." Xiao Bing held the water cup handed over by Dr. Du, drank a few sips of water, and continued: "Late last night, after we finished training, we were tired and soon fell asleep. It seems that at two or three o'clock, I had a stomach upset in the middle of the night, and after coming out of the toilet, I suddenly felt surprisingly quiet around me, and I was a little uneasy. I always felt that something was wrong, but I was so sleepy that I didn't feel anything, and I went to the dormitory after peeing. I was just about to open the dormitory door, when suddenly a scream came from nowhere, and I woke up in an instant. Hurriedly went into the house to wake up the squad leader and a few other comrades-in-arms, we found a few iron rods and went out of the dormitory building together, and found that the yard was full of dead people, some were half-cut left, some had no heads, and some were disemboweled. We couldn't stand the scene for a while, and we all vomited until the sour water came out. There was a sudden "bang" behind him, and a heavy object fell from the upper floor. When we turned around, it was a man who had been smashed into a pile of rotten flesh. Subconsciously looked upstairs. I saw the glassless window on the fourth floor, and an old man holding an arm and gnawing at us stared at us. After a while, he threw his gnawing arm down the window on the fourth floor, turned around and disappeared.
At this moment, the corpses that could be seen everywhere around him stood up strangely and slowly. Mutilated, covered in blood, dragging intestines, walking corpses are not to mention how horrible they are.
……
'Squad leader, aren't they dead?' The little soldier endured his legs, which were weak and trembling.
The squad leader is worthy of being a veteran, and his mental quality is much stronger than that of several of our recruits. Started to use an iron pipe to knock a monster with a big hole in his stomach that was relatively close to him.。。
"If you don't want to die, you will hit it, we probably ran into the zombies in the movie."
Sure enough, we found that the corpses that stood up were all walking towards us slowly. It's easy for us to break their heads. Lead the way in front of the squad leader. We quickly rushed to the entrance of the base. But at this moment, those slowly and leisurely corpses suddenly became flexible, and even some began to run towards us. The pressure on us is getting bigger and bigger, and the seven comrades who escaped together are all scratched and bitten by those zombies to varying degrees.
'They're evolving, run away,' the squad leader shouted.
But it was too late, the soldiers were surrounded by more than forty zombies, and the number of zombies around them in the distance was still increasing.
I cried because I was the youngest, and they surrounded me in the middle, intentionally or unintentionally, to protect me.
'Don't cry, listen to Xiao Lei, wait for us to help you make a way, you run out desperately, don't look back, just keep running, and have a chance to save us again after finding someone, do you hear! "' The squad leader said breathlessly as he knocked on the head of the dead body.
'Squad leader, I ......'
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked out of the zombies by the squad leader. Haven't gotten up from the overwhelmed zombie yet. I heard the squad leader shouting at me anxiously and angrily, 'Run'!
Subconsciously looking back, countless zombies had crowded the road in front of them, and the squad leader couldn't wave their iron rods, and in the blink of an eye, they were submerged in the corpses.
My head was blank, I only remembered the 'run' that the squad leader shouted before he died, his legs ran up unconsciously, desperately fleeing from here, just out of the gate, not a few meters, it was dark in front of me, and I seemed to rush into something. There was a smell of rotting leaves in my nose, I couldn't see anything as if I was blind, I couldn't tell the direction, and I even lost the concept of time. All I know is running as hard as I can, I've fallen countless times, but I don't dare to stop for a second, I can feel the monsters just around my distance, I can't get rid of them no matter how much I run. As time passed as long as a century passed, I slowly began to feel hopeless, and the excruciating pain and fear caused my physical strength to plummet. At the last moment I tripped over something. It was dark in front of me, and then I passed out. Until now, I have been awakened by you. ”
There was a brief silence.
"You mean there's a dead man's monster in this black mist? And you've killed all of your troops overnight? The village chief asked again in a heavy tone.
"Yes, Uncle Village Chief, you have to prepare early, time is running out, I don't know when they may come here." The little soldier said tremblingly.
The crowd inside and outside the house instantly exploded like a pot.
"What, there's a man-eating monster in the black mist".
"What should we do, are we dying?"
"Emma, the dead have risen? Isn't this the end of the world? ”
......
Nameless fear creeps through the crowd.
The village chief said to the four patrol captains who had just been selected today: "It seems that we are going to have another meeting tonight, you go back to eat early, and by the way, think about what to do, and come to the village committee as soon as you finish eating." ”
The crowd outside the house had not yet dispersed, and they all looked at the village chief who came out of the house.
"Let's go home first, put your heart in your stomach, with me Zhang Fusheng here, I won't let everyone have an accident." Besides, there are so many big men in the village, what can hurt us. Our Communist Party does not believe in evil, the country is so strong, there will be a way to save us, go back to eat."
Around seven o'clock in the evening in the conference room of the village council. More than a dozen people sat in a circle. There are those who smoke, those who drink tea, and those who are in a daze. It's just that no one speaks.
"Everyone, who said what we should do, has anyone come up with a solution?" The village chief broke the silence in the house.
"If you want me to say, the monsters are coming, let's fight with them to the end, there are a lot of old and young masters in our village, what are you afraid of" Feng Guizi said viciously.
"You are the meat of the hob, you are not afraid, can others not be afraid? A few of them can stand up. I think let's escape, find a safe place to hide, and when the ** is solved, we'll come back." The outsider thought he had a good idea and said it.
"Run? Where to run! Big cities are in chaos like that now. This monster is hidden in this black fog again, and we can't see it. It's all said on TV, and it's all black fog from the satellite. There is simply no safe place". Huang Xiaoli, the female captain of the northern patrol, said.
"Then what do you say, you can't escape, you can't fight, just wait for these hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the village to feed the monsters." Ma Daring was a little angry.
"Ma Daring, what are you in a hurry with me......
"Okay, okay, don't quarrel. I know that everyone is anxious and worried, isn't the monster still coming yet, we still have time to think of a way, and what Accountant Huang said is not wrong, it is indeed unrealistic for the village to drag hundreds of people with their families and mouths. Everyone is thinking about it. Liu Sheng, do you have any way? The village chief interrupted the argument between the two.
Liu Sheng shook his head, talked for a while, lowered his head and looked at his feet, and fell into deep thought.
The room was quiet again.
"Uncle Zhang, I have an idea, you can see if it's okay," Liu Huangqiang said to the village chief while sitting next to his father.
Liu Huangqiang's opening focused everyone's eyes on him. He was a little uncomfortable. Smiled embarrassedly.
"It's okay, Xiaoqiang, you can talk about it first."
"I used to work in the brick factory north of the village, and although the factory was closed, there were still a lot of red bricks in it. Can we take those bricks and build a wall outside the village, let's build a higher and thicker point, even if the monsters come, they can't get in, I don't believe that zombies can still climb the wall? ”。 Liu Huangqiang said weakly, he didn't know if what he said could be done, so many elders were a little unconfident in their hearts.
The village chief was about to speak. Ma boldly slapped his thigh with a 'snap', startling everyone.
"Xiaoqiang, this method is good," pointed at Liu Huangqiang and praised constantly, "It's still young people who are active, let's make the wall thicker and higher outside the village." They all hid in the village and did not go out. There's no need to fight monsters with fear."
"Well, it's a good idea."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes".
"I think it can work."
"Build walls and build houses, some of our people in the village are experts."
.......
The crowd kept nodding their heads in agreement.
"Since everyone agrees with Xiaoqiang's method, let's do it according to this method." The village chief also agreed, saying, "The situation is urgent now, monsters may attack our village at any time, and without further ado, construction must start tomorrow." Zhao Laoliu, you work hard tonight, design the plan for building the wall, and you know something about this in this bunch of people."
"No problem, no problem, just leave it to me". An old man in his sixties who was sitting next to the village chief replied.
"Since Xiaoqiang proposed this method, tomorrow Xiaoqiang will be responsible for leading a few people to drive to the brick factory to pull bricks. We don't have much time, so the walls in all four directions of the village have to be built at the same time, and the four captains of you continue to closely monitor all directions to prevent monsters from sneaking up and take care of everyone's safety. Tomorrow, a few people with construction experience will be selected from the villagers who started the construction to be the foremen and be responsible for directing the project. Everyone worked hard tonight, and after the meeting was dispersed, we went door-to-door to inform the villagers of the news of the construction of the wall, so that everyone could participate in it and complete it as soon as possible. Okay, that's it, let's get busy." The village chief arranged various tasks for everyone in an orderly manner.
The moon is quiet and the wind is silent, but many people are destined to have trouble sleeping tonight.
