Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 5: Assault

"If only I could be as good as my grandfather."

Meng Qinghu muttered enviously.

Jing Zhan patted Meng Qinghu on the shoulder: "It must be possible, as long as we train well." ”

"But I can't train as well as you."

Speaking of this, Meng Qinghu was still a little frustrated. He is the same age as Jing Zhan, and he is a big difference in both physique and combat effectiveness.

Jing Zhan seems to be born to fight, he has followed Jingtai since he was a child, and he has lived alone in the mountains and forests for two years, and his skills are naturally incomparable to ordinary people Meng Qinghu.

"But you know how to make weapons, and grandpa complimented you on how well you can make a light bow than he did. And I can only fight with all my strength, how can I compare with you? ”

Meng Qinghu nodded, he felt that what Jing Zhan said was very reasonable. Not struggling with who was strong and who was weak, the two children raised the hoe in their hands again and began to loosen the ground.

Grandpa said, don't be distracted by things in the outside world, and do things well when you do things. They believe in Grandpa, and as long as Grandpa goes, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

All the doors and windows of the house in the town are closed, and every family hides in the house, and it is not allowed to go out easily. Now there are only a few retired members who have served in the Self-Defense Army, just like my grandfather.

Grandma Meng took Sang Yu from the kitchen to the second floor, stood on the balcony on the second floor and looked, and saw Lao Meng's figure appear in the square in the center of the town, and her heart was full of anxiety.

The balcony is a fully enclosed design, but it is no longer the original kind of fragile and explosive ordinary tempered glass, for the personal safety of each family, everyone has replaced the most solid and not easy to penetrate the plastic transparent substance, called steel-plastic glass.

It has higher transparency, high temperature and low temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, the only drawback is that it will soften when it is hottest, and when you poke it with your fingers, it feels like it is about to melt.

Grandpa Meng is no longer young, and he doesn't have the good skills he had when he was young, so I don't know if he will be injured this time. Grandma Meng walked back to her room and knelt down in front of the incense case, a bodhisattva of great mercy and compassion, bless the old man not to have an accident and not to be injured.

In the house, I don't know what Sang Yu didn't know what he was doing, and something fell to the ground with a crisp clanging sound.

Grandma Meng, who was lighting incense, shook her hand, and a piece of incense broke off and fell to the ground. Grandma Meng looked at the half of the incense in her hand, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

This does not bode well.

"Sister-in-law Meng, open the door quickly, Lao Meng is injured."

There was a "bang" knock on the door outside the courtyard, which was the voice of Liu Da in Zhenxi.

Grandma Meng hurriedly inserted the incense in her hand into the incense burner, and helped the desk to get up.

Sang Yu's crisp voice sounded: "Grandma, I'll go." ”

Grandma Meng hurriedly shouted no, but the Sangyu people were small and fast, and the footsteps quickly disappeared at the turn of the stairs. Grandma Meng could only helplessly shout to Sang Yu outside the house: "Sang Yu, be careful." ”

When Grandma Meng stood up with the help of the desk, Grandma Meng heard the sound of the courtyard door being opened. Then there was an exclamation from Sang Yu, and she panicked in her heart, was the old man very injured.

Grandma Meng ran to the staircase in a few steps, and only then did she notice that the silence in the courtyard was abnormal, didn't it mean that the old man was injured? Why is there no movement in the yard at all, where did Sang Yu go?

She glanced at the stairs, walked back to the room on tiptoe, and walked to the balcony with Grandpa Meng's homemade iron arrow from the head of the bed.

The balcony of the Meng family looks no different from the people around her, but Grandma Meng knows that the balcony of her own house is still very different from the balcony of other people's houses.

The drying rack was shaken down, the combination was disassembled, and within a minute, a very sensitive light bow was erected on the balcony. The steel-plastic glass slowly rose, only rising to a third of the height and stopping, which was enough for Grandma Meng to do something without being easily hurt by things outside.

The courtyard was quiet, Grandma Meng pointed the arrow at the corners of the courtyard where people could hide, there were no people, no strange animals, she seemed to hear a few different footsteps from the staircase.

Grandma Meng turned her head and pointed the arrow at the stairs.

5、4、3、2、1…… Bending the bow and pulling the string, the powerful bow shot straight towards the staircase with the sound of breaking wind, and a tall figure tumbled down the staircase with a muffled grunt.

At the same time, the gate of the courtyard was vigorously pushed open, and the door hit the courtyard wall with a dull sound. Grandma Meng's bow immediately pointed towards the courtyard, only to find that it was her old man who came in.

Grandpa Meng quickly closed the door, pressed the emergency protection starter next to the door, and began to run into the house. Grandma Meng saw a string of blood-red footprints left on the ground, and Grandma Meng was shocked, could it be that the old man was injured?

Grandpa Meng was at the top of the stairs, carefully avoiding Liu Da's corpse, and ran upstairs: "What's wrong?" ”

Grandma Meng quickly glanced at the old man, and found that he was not injured before saying, "Liu Da has changed, Sang Yu went downstairs to open the door for Liu Da, and now the person is gone." ”

"It's okay, Sang Yu is very smart, you go into the mountain now to watch Jing Zhan and Huzi, I'll go find Sang Yu."

Grandpa Meng ran into Huzi's bedroom, took out a small hand bow and crossbow from the closet and put it on his wrist, and then turned out a knife and handed it to Grandma Meng: "I'm not going to look for you, don't come out, don't go back to the town." ”

Grandma Meng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There are a group of mutant dogs from outside the village, I don't know how to get into the village, it's not clear now, you go first, I'll go find Sangyu."

After Grandpa Meng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Grandma Meng to answer, pulled a sheet, climbed down the stairs, walked to Liu Da's corpse, wrapped the corpse in a sheet, and carried it out.

Grandpa Meng went out from the front door and saw a few banyan leaves falling at the gate, and he had an answer in his heart. He walked out of the town along the courtyard wall until he walked under the big banyan tree in the east of the town.

Grandma Meng went out the back door and pressed the red emergency protection button next to the door. A white transparent semi-circular cover silently enveloped the small building in front of him.

The whole town is full of mutated wild dogs, some tearing at humans in the square who didn't have time to escape, and some breaking into houses that haven't had time to turn on the protective buttons, culling the residents.

The few big banyan trees outside the town are still so tall, only one banyan tree is a real banyan tree, and the rest are made in imitation of it. The same leafy trees are so green that no one can tell which one is real and which one is fake.

Standing under the tree, you can faintly hear the "snort" of the leaves fluttering in the wind.

When a mutated wild dog pounced, Grandpa Meng shook his hand and arrows, blood gushed out, and the wild dog's fat body fell under the banyan tree.

"Sangyu, come down."

With Grandpa Meng's low shout, a small figure swooped down from the banyan tree: "Grandpa, you are so powerful." ”

"Silly girl, why don't you go home, go up the mountain quickly, grandpa will kill wild dogs."

Sang Yu slipped off Grandpa Meng's body: "I don't, I'm going to kill the dog with Grandpa." ”

Grandpa Meng lovingly touched his granddaughter's head: "That's a mutant dog, if it bites you, you will mutate, girl." ”

"I'm not afraid, Uncle Liu wanted to catch me just now, I injured his leg before I ran, did grandma catch him?"

Sang Yu Yang looked at his little head, grandpa, you praise me, praise me.

"Caught, grandma shot him with a bow and crossbow. Our Sang Yu is so smart that we know that if we can't beat it, we will run. Come, grandpa carries you on his back, come up. ”

Lao Meng didn't think it was dangerous to take his five-year-old granddaughter to kill mutated wild dogs. On the contrary, he felt that the children who had fought on the battlefield were more able to survive.

The whole town is not very large, except for the old people and children, there are basically few young people to see. More than half of the houses in the town are uninhabited with closed windows and locked doors. And the doors and windows of the house are now closed, and there is not a trace of movement.

But Lao Meng knew that everyone was looking out from the balcony on the second floor.

"Grandpa, shall we go up to the roof?"

After watching his grandfather shoot two mutated dogs, Sang Yu leaned on his grandfather's ear and whispered in his voice.

"Okay."

Grandpa Meng carried Sang Yu on his back and started to climb from the corner of a house, and the two of them quickly went to the roof.

This is a house that has been uninhabited for a long time, and there is no even the most basic protective equipment, and it seems that the owner must have died in a conflict of mutant animals.

The glazed tiles on the roof made a crisp sound when stepped on, jumping from one roof to another, and soon the figures of the grandfather and grandson fell in the eyes of those who cared.

The town is not big, and soon people saw the grandfather and grandson.

"Look, that's Lao Meng."

"Lao Meng too, this is not a fun thing, and he even has Sang Yu."

"This old thing is not stupid, how can the flowers raised in the greenhouse withstand the wind and rain."

One after another, someone opened the protective device and walked out in the footsteps of Grandpa Meng. Most of these people have been in the Self-Defense Forces, and they are either good or relatively young.

Everyone knows that if these wild dogs are allowed to run rampant in the town, the final result is that no one can go out, not to mention whether the alliance will send someone to rescue them, just stay at home without going out for a few days, adults can still bear it, and those with children at home can't bear it.

There are many old people in small towns because young people have gone to big cities. There are many children in the small town because in this era of industrial pollution, the town is relatively strong, and the air purity and drinking water and food are relatively much healthier. Basically, young people in small towns will give their children to small towns and let their parents help raise them until they go to primary school, and then they will be sent to live in big cities.

This is not the first time the town has been attacked by this mutant species, there have been before, it was a group of pig mutations on the farm. The thing was clumsy, and everyone was hiding from them in the house. They gnawed the flowers and trees in the town, and the vegetable fields and fields outside the town.

There is a bear child who is about to enter elementary school, and after staying at home for three days, he couldn't hold back, so he secretly turned on the protective equipment and ran out, and when his grandfather chased him out, he couldn't see his figure.

This matter is very big, at any time, in any era, children are the most important. The townspeople all came out to look for it, and a stupid mutated pig fell in a pool of blood, and the child was not found in the end, and no one dared to imagine what he would encounter.

I can only pray that he has enough luck to escape from the town, get lost, and be taken in by other towns or passers-by.
