Chapter 4: The Zombies Are Coming
A small and medium-sized city about 20 kilometers northwest of the village, surrounded by mountains, windy all the year round, also known as the mountain city, is located in the upwind of the capital, so the development of the city has been limited by the environment and location, and most of the young residents of Z city have gone to various big cities with high economic level for development. However, the permanent population remains at 4 million.
But at this time, Z City tonight is a tragic and terrifying hellish scene, with corpses all over the field, bloody roads into rivers, and corpses with broken arms can be seen everywhere dumped on the road. In the streets, alleys, squares, parking lots, shopping malls and other places, countless zombies dripping with blood, fangs, black eyes without whites, inch-long bone spurs on their backs, sharp claws, terrifying biting ability, and tall size and agility, thousands of zombies are like an army of demons pouring out of hell, frantically chasing, tearing, chewing, and slaughtering unarmed citizens. The corpses that kept falling slowly stood up again, and faltered into hungry ghosts and zombies to join the demon army. Wailing, terrified, screaming..... Sent from every corner of the city.
The reason for the siege of the city by the black fog was like a cage that cut off the escape of most of the citizens, and also isolated the smell of blood and the last desperate cries of the citizens. At this time, the surrounding villages and towns were still asleep unnoticed.
The morning sun is beginning to dew, and the black fog is still besieging the city.
At this time, Nanzhuang Village, far away from the city, was already full of traffic, and thousands of men, women and children had been busy for a long time. Trucks of all sizes pulling building materials come and go. The foundation for building a wall around the village has gradually taken shape. In addition to bricks found in the brick factory, various building materials for cement and steel bars were also found in the building materials warehouse built next to the construction highway not far away. Fortunately, for unknown reasons, the black fog did not cut off the village from the brick factory and the building materials company.
I don't know if it was the 11th National Day holiday, or I was scared away by the black fog, when I arrived at the factory, there was no one in the whole compound, and all kinds of tools were neatly placed. But the factory door was not locked, which surprised the village chief, who had thought of a lot of words. didn't think much about it, the village chief waved his hand, "Move, use it first, and return it later."
Everyone didn't talk nonsense, so they started automatically. The useful and useless were pulled away, and even the gate was torn down.
The busy work makes everyone forget the fear of mutant zombies for a while. Although the weather after the National Day is a little cooler. But everyone is in full swing, and some people are even dancing and joking between busyness, and the people around them are laughing. I have to say that unity is great strength, and the villagers are all construction experts, and the people who are quick with their hands and feet do not need the command of the foreman at all, and they are basically able to understand it at all. The project is going very smoothly.
At noon, the foundations dug on all sides at the same time, which were nearly one meter deep, were basically connected. In the afternoon, after the villagers went home and had dinner, they hurried back to the construction site and threw themselves into the work, making steel skeletons and pouring mixed cement. It is not until dark that the foundation is finished, and the rest will wait for tomorrow when the cement has set, and then you can start laying bricks to build the wall. The exhausted villagers, who were already tired and exhausted, all turned off their lights early and rested early after dinner. The night was uneventful.
The next morning, the village chief and Zhao Laoliu, who was in charge of the project, checked the extent of the cement.
"Not yet, we have to wait, it's estimated that it will be almost in the afternoon." Zhao Laoliu, who was squatting, raised his head and said to the village chief.
"Then wait another morning, let everyone transport bricks first, it will be very fast to build bricks, it is estimated that the bricks will not be available, such a long wall, but it will take a lot." The village chief replied.
In the morning, cars, tractors, and tricycles were all used, and some people even drove their own electric tricycles. Truckloads of red bricks roared with the roar of the cars, and soon square piles of bricks were piled up next to the foundation.
Time passed quickly, and the degree of solidification of the foundation in the afternoon was the same as Old Man Zhao expected, and the construction was almost ready to continue. The labor force of 2,000 people quickly arrived at the position of their own construction, men, women and children went into battle, and a red wall of life soon took shape. In order to be strong and solid, Old Man Zhao designed the width of the wall to be about one meter wide, and the height was expected to be six meters, with a reinforcement support of sixty centimeters wide every five meters. There are lookout platforms every fifty meters.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, in the jurisdiction of the west, Ma Bold led more than a dozen young people to walk back and forth with this iron rod in his hand to prevent the black fog from changing, perhaps because there had been no change for a long time, and everyone's vigilance was somewhat relaxed. After a few turns, Ma Daring was bored and gossiped with the people who worked. A dozen young people watched others work, and they felt a little uncomfortable wandering around, so they started to help. There were only a few young people left who were curious about the black fog, and from time to time they put their hands into the black fog and paddle and play.
One of the young men had the audacity to stick his head into the black mist, looking for nothing to be stimulated, and after stretching a few times, it seemed that he had suddenly discovered something. turned around and excitedly shouted "Uncle Ma, Uncle Ma....".
After a few sounds, Ma Daring heard someone calling him, looking at the young man who called him and asking, "What's the matter?"
The young man was just about to speak, when suddenly, a zombie with a body so tattered that his ribs were exposed, and his body exuded an extremely foul smell rushed out of the black mist, and he threw him to the ground at once, biting him down on his throat with one bite, and tearing his sharp teeth out, instantly biting out a bloody hole in his neck. The young man struggled desperately, but he couldn't breathe air, and it didn't take long for him to stare at his eyes and twitch unwillingly. Everyone recovered from the shock, all kinds of tools were beaten randomly, and the monster was slapped into pulp in about ten minutes. Look at the young man under the zombie body has long been bitten beyond recognition. Before the breath in everyone's mouths was even, three more zombies spitting black blood and stinking all over their bodies ran out of the black fog not far away. Before everyone could react, they bit two more villagers to death. Everyone was furious and remorseful, and vented their resentment on these three ugly zombies. The crowd fought for about half an hour before the fear and anger in their hearts were alleviated. Looking at the three zombies that had been knocked into pulp, everyone sat on the ground exhausted and gasped.
But a wave of unevenness rose again, the young man who had been bitten to death slowly stood up slowly and leisurely under everyone's eyelids, stretched out his hands and shook towards a seven or eight-year-old child not far away, fortunately the child's father reacted in time, kicked the young man's waist, causing him to fall to the ground again. The person next to him held him down to prevent him from getting up and hurting people. The village chief came over and asked everyone to tie up the villagers who had just died, and several family members of the deceased. The crying heart-rending wanted to run over, but was stopped by everyone.
There's no time left to settle the matter at hand. Because the village chief found that the black fog that had besieged the village for several days was undergoing a strange change. The village chief rubbed his eyes, tilted his head and said to the people around him, "Am I dazzled, how do I feel that this black fog is fading."
Hearing the village chief's question, everyone looked towards the black fog together.
"The fog has cleared!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted loudly.
But no, it didn't take long for the black fog to fade quickly until it disappeared completely.
But after the fog cleared, everyone was happy that they hadn't come. Bigger fears came head-on.
In the empty cabbage field in front of more than four or five hundred meters, about thirty monsters ran towards the crowd at high speed.
Everyone cried and screamed and ran from the gate into the wall, and ran towards the village with their heads in their hands.
………
"Why hasn't anyone pulled bricks yet? Is something happening in the village?"
Liu Huangqiang was still resting in the brick factory, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see a car to pull bricks, and he felt a little abnormal, so he drove a tricycle full of bricks in the factory and planned to go back to see, just drove out of the gate, and suddenly felt that something was missing in front of him. Looking around, he shouted excitedly, "The black fog has dispersed, hahaha, no wonder no one is coming, I guess everyone is celebrating." With a slam of the throttle, the diesel fuel emitted a thick, black, choking exhaust, and the deafening 'da-da-da' of the engine roared towards the village.
In the village, the villagers all led the children and the old people back to the house to hide, and only a few brave people stood at the entrance of the village and watched the zombies getting closer and closer outside the wall.
When Liu Huangqiang drove the brick truck to the north entrance of the village, he didn't see a single person working, let alone cheering and celebrating. Puzzled, he parked the car outside the wall, stood by the wall, touched and looked at the wall that had just been built about two meters high, and then walked along the place where the gate was installed towards home, and there was no one on the street from a distance.
"It's weird, what's going on, where are the people."
When I got home, the door to my house was bolted from the inside. I pushed it a few times but didn't push it away. Shouting "Mom!" through the crack in the door! It's me, Xiaoqiang, open the door for me."
After shouting a few times, my father came out of the house, hurriedly opened the door and pulled Liu Huangqiang in, and quickly closed the door.
"What's the matter, Dad, what's wrong, people don't work anymore."
"The zombies entered the village and killed several people, and everyone ran home to hide."
"What, the zombies are in?" Liu Huangqiang was shocked, "No, I just came back from the north and didn't see any zombies?" What about the patrol, which also ran away? ”。
"The zombies came from the west, it is estimated that there are thirty or forty of them, and the patrol is also a person, and they have already run with them."
"I see that the wall is almost two meters high, so monsters can't get in at such a height, right?"
"It's bad, I was too flustered just now, and the location of the door didn't seem to be blocked, no, I have to plug it, it's getting dark soon, and it's even more dangerous at night!" Father suddenly realized.
Before Liu Huangqiang could react, his father had already opened the door and ran out.
"Wait for me, I'll go with you". Liu Huangqiang chased after him.
