Chapter 146, Morale Available (Plus Update)
First of all, thank QTEK for the 10,000 Zongheng coins that were rewarded before, and the chapters added today were added. Thank you also to other readers who have been voting for monthly tickets and recommended votes, thank you.
Before updating this chapter, Uncle Cha has some digressions to say to you. I quit my job in August 2017 and left the game industry to start writing full-time. In the space of one year and eight months, I wrote the 2.28 million word complete work "The Walking Dead and Rotten Flesh" and the serialized "Lost in the Blue" with more than 400,000 words.
Time flies, the dream is still there, but I also need to face reality.
What is the reality, the reality is the family's money, rice, oil and salt, the daughter's tuition and the mortgage of the house. In the past two years of my writing career, my manuscript fee income is very meager, to what extent? I can only describe it in two words: pitiful.
I remember that since last year, due to the long-term desk code, the back is often sore, I went to the hospital several times for examination, from the beginning of the lumbar back myofasciitis to the lumbar disc herniation found out last month, the physical condition can be said to have gone wrong.
It is a very cruel fact that the manuscript fee is far from the cost of medical treatment. And for such a long time, the financial pressure on the family has been on his wife. She supported me in writing, this hobby and my dream, but as a man, I felt that she couldn't bear all the pressure alone, let alone be a burden to her. So the night before yesterday I put together my resume and applied to some companies, and then I'm going to switch from full-time writing to part-time writing, and the update may not be as timely as before, so I apologize to readers who like to read my book, but you can rest assured, just like when I wrote "The Walking Dead", my commitment to "Lost in the Blue" is not a eunuch.
Uncle Cha has always been there, and the dream will continue.
—————————— (the following is the text)——————————————
The last bullet in the magazine was left for the door lock, and Ding Xiu broke the iron lock with his gun, and then kicked the iron door open.
"That's it!"
The sign at the door reads "Firearms Storage Room", some guns are neatly stacked on gun racks, and there are many tin boxes against the wall.
Inside the box are bullets, the caliber is universal, in addition to adapting to those weapons on the gun rack, the hand of the dragon can also be loaded.
The guns in the firearms storage room are all old models, and there are not many of them, but there is a good stock of bullets.
Ding Xiu heard the footsteps of the firebirds running in the corridor outside the door, and he quickly pushed a column of gun carriages to the door to block the door, and then opened the box and began to replenish ammunition.
There was a "clang" on the door, and it was a cassowary kicking the door with its thick paws. Ding Xiu was still stuck in a row of shelves behind the door, but in the blink of an eye, several large bags bulged up on the iron door.
"I can't stand it at all!" He had hoped that the shelves and the iron gate would delay him a little, but these large cassournosers showed amazing explosiveness, their claws were not only sharp, but also powerful, and the iron gate was deformed in a matter of moments.
Ding Xiu prepared a few guns and loaded them with bullets. Just as the iron gate fell with a "bang", the gun in his hand also rang out.
The "crackling" shot caught the firebirds at the door by surprise, and they crowded the doorway, unable to squeeze into the firearms storage room in the first place.
The bodies of the cassowaries were stuck in the door, and they could only stick their necks and heads in, which was exactly what Ding Xiu wanted.
The two guns in his hands fired a volley, and the blood of those cassowaries flew away. Although they have rough skin and thick flesh, they cannot withstand the attack of metal warheads, let alone the vital areas of the head and neck.
The slain cassavarants fell in the doorway, their corpses barricading the place, and the other companions were kept in the back, trying to get in but not being able to get in, and sticking their heads out of the door were only beaten.
The situation became quite favorable for Ding Xiu, and his pressure plummeted, and he could even calmly change ammunition while shooting.
The movement at the door finally subsided, and the corpse of the fallen cassopary had already filled the place, and Ding Xiu stopped shooting and was suddenly stunned.
"Damn, how am I going to get out?"
The joy of the previous superiority was instantly forgotten, and Ding Xiu ran to the door and tried to push the corpses.
Finally pushing the corpse away, Ding Xiu found that the other cassdiviaries had not left, and they had filled the corridor outside the door.
The firebirds hissed again when they saw Ding Xiu come out, and several of them rushed towards Ding Xiu, forcing Ding Xiu back into the firearms storage room.
Ding Xiu's old trick was repeated, and he repeated it several times, which made those casshouaries have some scruples.
The firebirds retreated downstairs, no longer continuing to entangle with Ding Xiu at the door of the gun storage room, they guarded the nearby exits, and did not take the initiative to attack, and Ding Xiu was consumed like this.
The security team's station has been surrounded by firebirds, and this siege network against Ding Xiu is not far behind the warehouse. Just when Ding Xiu and the fire-eating birds were fighting fiercely, these clever big birds called many companions from the surroundings.
Ding Xiu didn't know the situation outside, since the cassowarous gave up the second floor, he unceremoniously pushed the casssoary corpse in the corridor to the stairs as an obstacle, and then searched upstairs for a suitable angle for shooting.
When the bullets were fired at the cassowararies downstairs from different directions, they became a little restless, and some began to run in all directions, hiding behind the wall.
"The fire-eater even knows how to hide!" Ding Xiu was very surprised, and he had a further understanding of the wisdom of these mutated creatures in his heart.
The fire-eater hid, and Ding Xiu had nothing to do. After laying some obstacles on the second floor, he began to search for a way out.
The firearms storage room is large, but it is an enclosed space. Ding Xiu searched in the next few rooms, and there were windows in those places, but the situation outside the window made him a little surprised.
The surrounding area has been surrounded by three layers of water inside and three layers outside, and the cassnotaries surrounding the security team station are all "big guys".
Ding Xiu's brows furrowed, and only then did he realize that the situation had not actually improved. It is now difficult for him to even get out, let alone return the ammunition to the warehouse.
"Damn, since you can't leave, let's kill it first." The firebirds downstairs knew to go behind the wall to avoid the bullets, but the firebirds outside the window had nowhere to hide.
Ding Xiu turned the shooting point to the window, and immediately hit the cassowary chickens and dogs outside.
There are enough bullets in the firearms storage room, and Ding Xiu is not stingy in fighting, he doesn't care about the speed of bullet consumption, he just wants to kill the enemy as quickly as possible.
The firebirds outside the window were emptied, and some of them were killed, and some of them fled to the other side.
Ding Xiu changed the window again and continued to shoot, and as long as there were cassopenies outside the window, bullets were flying. Boxes of bullets were dismantled, and batches of casssowararies died.
Eventually, the birds could not resist the fear of death, and they began to flee from the houses where the vigilantes were stationed, scattering around the farm.
Waiting for the cassohora outside the window to flee, Ding Xiu returned to the stairs and observed the situation on the next floor, and there was no cassowarary below.
Ding Xiu brought some ammunition and went down to the first floor, he carefully watched the movements around him, so as not to have a fire-bird ambushing him.
After checking the vicinity, Ding Xiu found no sign of the cassowary birds, and it seemed that they had all fled away.
Ding Xiu came to the hall, which was full of green eggs, and he drew out his military stab and stabbed it with a knife. The yellow and white egg liquid flowed out of the hole stabbed by the military thorn and dripped, and the smell of fish became stronger in the air.
The doorways around the hall were opened, and Ding Xiu did not choose to go out directly, but returned to the roof along the place where he came down from the bell tower. The current vision is very important, and he must grasp the movements of those fire-eating birds.
There were only a few cassivary corpses left on the nearby road, all of which had been shot by Ding Xiu when he was on the second floor. When he came to the roof of the building, he saw that there were still many cassdivia in the distance, and in the direction of the warehouse, the gunfire did not stop.
"You hid so far!" Ding Xiu was a little helpless in the face of the distant firebirds, at this distance, unless there was a heavy sniper in hand, ordinary firearms could only look at the birds and sigh.
"I'll go to do business, and I won't accompany me!" He withdrew his gaze from the distance, and then took a long strip of board from the roof. The boards were used to build bridges over the roofs of houses on both sides of the road, which was necessary to transport ammunition from the firearms storage room to the warehouse.
Back next to the cistern, Ding Xiu had cleared the road of threats, and he returned to the tunnel, where the previous leader was still waiting for him.
"It's great that you're finally back." The passer-by said happily that Ding Xiu's long absence from returning just now made her worried.
"Let's go, get everyone's help to move the ammunition." Ding Xiu beckoned to her.
The two returned to the warehouse along the passage, Gu Beimo and Song Xijun were still looking for an opportunity to shoot the cassowary outside at the window, and when everyone saw that Ding Xiu was back, they all surrounded and asked about the situation.
"The road is open, we can go get the ammunition." Ding Xiu told his companion about the situation over there, and then mobilized the survivors in the warehouse to help him transport the ammunition.
Hearing that they were going to the place outside the warehouse, the survivors all showed panicked looks, and only the woman who had led Ding Xiu forward stood up.
"I'll go with you."
"Good." Ding Xiu nodded, motioned for her to stand over, and then swept his gaze over the rest of the people.
Not only did everyone hesitate, but their eyes also dodged.
When Gu Beimo saw them like this, he was angry, and when he was about to get angry, Ding Xiu had already taken the first step to speak.
"Listen, I'm not begging you." Ding Xian said: "This is not my farm, and you are not my relatives and friends, a few of us can leave and leave you here to continue to wait for death." ”
"Yes." Shen You pursed his lips, a little disdain for these cowardly survivors, "We wasted bullets and risked staying here to help you. It's good for you to cower, do you expect us to carry the dangerous work for you? ”
"I'll give you thirty seconds to think about it, and if she's the only one willing to go with us to transport ammunition, we'll take her out of here and give up the farm, and you can be blessed." Ding Xiu put down his words, turned his head to the woman who led the way, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The woman who led the way was named Xu Hui, who was in her early thirties, and after she answered Ding Xiu's words, she kept lobbying the other survivors.
"Haven't you had enough of that filthy hole? This is our only chance to live. Xu Hui's face was full of anxiety, and her expression was also very excited, "Have you ever thought that if you wait, you will die, they are willing to risk our help as outsiders, what qualifications do we have to shrink behind them?" ”
"It's done, I'll go with you."
"I'll go too."
"Xu Hui is right."
……
I don't know if these survivors were explained by Xu Hui, or if they were forced to survive, before the thirty seconds were up, they changed their minds one after another.
"Now that everyone has agreed to carry the ammunition, I don't want to see someone back down because it would put others in danger." Ding Xiu's gaze swept over the survivors one by one, and after confirming that those people had indeed mustered up courage, he said his next arrangement: "The two people left in the warehouse continue to contain the cassowaries outside with the sound of gunfire; Lao Gu, Xijun and Xiao You will go with us to the cistern, and the three of you must guard the exit of the cave, which is the only way for us to carry the ammunition back; Everyone else was with me, except for the children, and we went from the top of the house to the gun storage room, where we got our ammunition and left. ”
