Chapter 33: Into the Mountain

The next day, black clouds overwhelmed the city.

"Holy, what the hell is that place there? How can there be so many terrifying monsters? ”

Zhang Xiaoming rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered to get out of bed.

At this time, everyone also got up early and made preparations.

When the meal was finished and everything was ready, everyone went on the road non-stop and started a new day's journey.

Zhang Xiaoming asked Cavalry No. 1 to slightly speed up the speed of the war horse, and only after getting close to the war horse where the little old man who was walking in front of him led the way did he say lightly:

"Uncle, why didn't you evacuate with the federal government's troops? You don't look like the kind of person who is afraid of zombies and doesn't dare to go out. ”

The little old man sighed and said a little lonely: "I'm an old bone, and I don't have much time to live, so I won't waste the government's food." ”

Zhang Xiaoming was a little stunned, he never expected that this little old man did not evacuate with the government army because he didn't want to waste the government's food.

After a moment of silence, he asked curiously, "In that case, why did you suddenly change your mind and be willing to flee with us?" ”

"Maybe I want to see more of the world, maybe I want to see the end of the world, but at that moment, I found that I actually rekindled my fighting spirit and wanted to continue living."

The little old man was quite emotional.

"Boy, I don't know what your old job was?"

Zhang Xiaoming was curious.

"I used to farm in my hometown, but then I was recruited in the federal civil war, so I enlisted in the army, and before I knew it, I stayed in the army for most of my life."

The little old man spoke very slowly, as if he was reminiscing about the past years.

"It turns out that you are always a soldier, no wonder you are so imposing."

Zhang Xiaoming exclaimed.

"Alas! It's old, it's useless! ”

The little old man sighed again and again.

"Don't say that, in my eyes, you are still old and strong, and you will have to rely on you to build a shelter in the future."

Zhang Xiaoming said very seriously and sincerely.

"You kid, don't hold the old man, how is my own physical condition, I know it in my heart, the root cause of the illness that fell in the army back then will not be better."

The little old man shook his head and continued: "However, if there is any use for the old man in the shelter in the future, you can say that as long as it does not harm the country and does not violate the moral conscience, the old man can accept it. ”

"That kid thanked you for being old first, and I haven't asked you for your old name."

Zhang Xiaoming sincerely thanked him.

"Xu Weiguo."

The little old man's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Defend the family and the country, good name."

Zhang Xiaoming applauded.

The applause here alarmed everyone, and everyone turned their eyes to see what was going on.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoming hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I don't know how far the path into the mountain is?" ”

The little old man Xu Weiguo looked around before replying, "It's not far away, there are probably two or three miles left." ”

"Well, then let's speed up a little faster, find out the situation earlier, and be at ease sooner, and settle down sooner."

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoming had already signaled his subordinates to speed up.

After a while, they came to a forest overgrown with weeds, and there was no trace of the road at all.

"That's it?"

Zhang Xiaoming frowned slightly.

Everyone also looked at Xu Weiguo, who was full of embarrassment, with puzzled faces, and wanted him to give an explanation.

"This ...... I haven't been to this place for decades, but I didn't expect it to be completely different now. ”

After a slight pause, Xu Weiguo continued to explain: "There was indeed a path in this place that could enter the mountains back then, and many mountain people went to the mountains to collect medicine. ”

"It's been decades, and it's weird to be the same."

Zhang Xiaoming was slandered in his heart.

After looking at the surrounding situation, he casually built a new guard tower and ordered Infantry No. 1 to say, "You go up and see what's going on inside this mountain?" Is it possible to go deeper into the mountains from here? ”

Infantry No. 1 was ordered to transform into a dexterous ape, and in a few light leaps, he had reached the top of the tower.

Zhang Xiaoming also took the opportunity to start "reconnaissance", wanting to see if there were mutated animals and plants nearby.

In an instant, ripples that were invisible to the naked eye, centered on the watchtower, quickly spread out in all directions.

In the next moment, a three-dimensional image covering a hundred meters of the forest appeared in front of him.

However, what Zhang Xiaoming never expected was that he not only saw the stereoscopic image, but also shared the vision of Infantry No. 1.

Through the field of vision of Infantry No. 1, he saw the general situation of the forest in front of him, and through the stereoscopic image, he also learned about the distribution of animals and trees within 100 meters.

In addition to the crowd, there are only some gray dots in the image, but through the vision of Infantry One, it is known that those gray dots are not humans, and it is estimated that they may be small animals hiding in the grass.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xiaoming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that this Xishan should not be affected much.

Although there is no path in Xu Weiguo's mouth here, through the observation of Infantry No. 1's vision, it is found that you can indeed enter the mountains from here.

It's just that if you want to enter, it will be very troublesome, and the road will be very difficult to walk.

"Infantry No. 1 and No. 2, order the two of you to go into the mountains first to investigate the situation."

After a little contemplation, Zhang Xiaoming immediately gave the order.

"Subordinates take orders!"

Infantry No. 1 and Infantry No. 2 hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

In fact, as long as you can get into the mountains, it doesn't matter if you have a road or not.

However, for the sake of safety, Zhang Xiaoming still arranged for Infantry No. 1 and Infantry No. 2 to carry a sentry tower card and go into the mountain first to investigate the situation, while the large army followed behind, slowing down and slowly entering the mountain.

Infantry No. 1 and Infantry No. 2 were ordered to enter the mountain quickly, while the group moved forward cautiously and without hurry.

The trail on the outskirts of the West Mountain is relatively gentle, but the trees are tall and dense, and it is not easy to walk.

But fortunately, there are still a group of subordinates who clean up along the way, and the journey is quite stable.

After about an hour of walking into the forest, the mountain road began to become steeper and steeper, but fortunately, the speed of the group was not fast, but they were able to persist in dealing with it easily.

After about an hour and a half, the mountain road began to become steeper.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoming's mind suddenly appeared the vision of Infantry No. 1.

He knew that it was Infantry One, who had arrived at their destination and were using "reconnaissance" to find out what was going on nearby.

However, what surprised Zhang Xiaoming was that there were other people near Infantry No. 1, and after a rough observation, it was judged that these people should be some tourist tourists, or travel friends who went into the mountains to explore.

In this way, it should be quite safe in this West Mountain.
