Chapter 28: Darkness

Soon the convoy was out of the illuminated area and into the darkness.

Even if they haven't left the patrol area yet, the lights of the convoy still shine brightly around them.

Xiao Ming stood in the car and pointed the machine gun back and forth at both sides of the road to hide the excitement of the first contact with this weapon.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the shelter, where it chose to have breakfast as it had been the first time.

The food of the Firebird Bounty is much better than that of the Rising Sun, and it turns out to be a pure white meatloaf.

After eating breakfast and watching the team leader's car leave, Xiao Ming and Ai Ping also got in the car and prepared to go.

The car was full of ammunition, as well as a spare machine gun, Xiao Ming opened all the ammunition boxes and connected the bullet chains.

The ammo box is cleverly designed to ensure that the ammunition is fed without the chain breaking due to pulling.

After the order to set off came from the walkie-talkie, the convoy slowly set off again.

"Brother Xiao, how did you survive in the wild before?" Ai Ping asked suddenly.

For a while, Xiao Ming didn't know how to answer him.

"It turns out that Brother Xiao was also miserable in the wild before?" Ai Ping thought silently.

"Let's go by one day." Xiao Ming replied with a smile: "What about you? What it was like before. ”

Xiao Ming had learned about Ai Ping's experience, but he had only heard about it.

"I don't know who my father was, my mother raised me ever since I was born."

"My mother didn't say anything about my father. But I heard that my mother was also rescued back to the base before. ”

Epping paused, then continued. "I don't know what happened to my mother, and I don't know what happened to her. I asked, but my mother was perfunctory. ”

"In the previous base, everyone took good care of our mother and son, and my mother had a scar on her face, but no one disliked our mother and son because of this."

"Then when I was 12 years old, the corpse horde hit the base again."

"Mother for ...... Protect me, be ...... by the corpses" Ai Ping choked up a little, and continued after a pause. "I waited until the corpses left, and then I escaped."

"I didn't dare to stay in the base for too long, so I just moved around the ruins of the base at first, and occasionally returned to the base to find something to eat."

"And then you don't leave there until you can't find food at the base."

"Then I have been cautiously moving in the wilderness, until I met a bounty group from the base that came here."

Xiao Ming could imagine what Ai Ping's mother had gone through, and what Ai Ping had experienced.

But Xiao Ming has been listening silently. He has not experienced the end times, he has not experienced despair, he has not experienced those dark and cruel things.

Therefore, he feels that he does not have the right to express his own opinions, even if he has read more post-apocalyptic film and television novels, it is far from being comparable to the personal experience of others.

In the last twenty years, perhaps outside of human civilization, there are still many unknown darknesses. Sooner or later, Xiao Ming will see it with his own eyes.

The convoy was still moving forward, and there was silence except for the roar of the engines and the sound of the wind.

The coming of the end times is not only a disaster for mankind, but also a disaster for the earth, and the phrase 'survival of the fittest', whether it is a human being, an animal or a plant, is universal.

"Attention, watch out for a large flock of birds ahead."

"All park, be on guard, and be ready for the possibility of fighting."

For a while, the convoy quickly prepared to dodge, and in the face of a large flock of birds, the only thing humans could do was to hide. Even if it was the overlord eagle of the sky in the past, it did not reach the high level, and it did not dare to face the impact of the flock of birds head-on.

Fortunately, the convoy is now not too far from the base. At the same time, news of the discovery of a large flock of birds was reported back to the Akatsuki base.

In the distance, the sky was pitch black, as if it was covered by a large dark cloud.

Noisy bird calls were heard, and an overwhelming flock of birds flew in the direction of the base.

The convoy was already crowded into the carriages, and the windows were welded with protective nets.

The flock of birds covered the sky like locusts passing through, and after flying closer, Xiao Ming could see what kind of bird it was.

That's the sparrow, a normal sparrow, not the zombie bird that Xiao Ming imagined.

Fortunately, the sparrows did not attack the convoy and continued to fly east.

After the alarm was lifted, the convoy was ready to go again.

And Xiao Ming also saw how the weak survive in these last days.

And who is sure that there are no evolved birds in that flock of sparrows.

"It's spectacular." Xiao Ming, who was standing in the back, said with emotion.

He used to be more interested in watching documentaries about animals, and he thought there was nothing more spectacular than the migration of African bison. But today the sparrows told him that in the last days, everything has changed.

The passage of this flock of sparrows lasted for half an hour from the time they appeared on the edge of the sky to the time they moved away again, and you can imagine how huge their numbers were.

"I've seen something even more spectacular." Ai Ping said silently.

"Tell me," Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"It's also a flock of birds, but it's just two, one is a normal flock of birds, and the other is a flock of zombie birds."

"Both are quite large, fighting each other in the sky. Corpses keep falling, there are zombie birds, and there are normal birds. ”

"It kept falling like rain, and the two fought in the sky for more than an hour. When leaving, it was impossible to see with the naked eye any changes in the size of the flock, and if it weren't for the dense layer of corpses on the ground, they would not have thought that they had a big battle before. ”

"That's what shocks you have."

Ai Ping said slowly while reminiscing.

After finishing speaking, a picture also appeared in Xiao Ming's mind.

I can't imagine how these creatures could block the flock of birds that would cover the sky if these creatures attacked humans.

But Xiao Ming and Ai Ping didn't know that in fact, the most shocking thing in human history was the previous base defense battle.

One side has modern thermal weapons, and the masters are like clouds. One side is all over the mountains, and the master is not weak with the opponent at all.

At least tens of millions of people participated in the war.

It was a spectacular scene in human history, fighting each other for survival.

No, as a human being, it should be tragic, tragic, and singable.
