CHAPTER XLIV
Xu Wen was still sitting on the ground in shock, and his back was already covered with dust. Although he said that he was fine, he could see the fear in his eyes. This sudden loss of control will make everyone panic. Zhou Xi hurriedly ran out, looking at Xu Wen, who was still sitting motionless on the ground, and couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Are you alright?" Zhou Xi turned his head with concern, only to see the corpse of a runaway lying beside him, the sharp blade straight from the back of his head through his throat and fixed in his mouth. Inside the open mouth, the beast-sharp teeth continued to seep out with yellowish liquid, as if they were about to vomit the overnight meal out of their stomachs if they looked closely.
Tan Shuizhi, who was standing on the side, skillfully pulled up the ankle of the runaway, handed it to Zhou Wenzhen, who rushed to the side, and said, "There is still a place, right?" ”
When this sentence was spoken, it was extremely relaxed. It seems that the things he has experienced are no less than Xu Wenzhou, who has been in a state of refugee. Zhou Wenzhen frowned and took the corpse, dragging his body in the direction of the entrance of the village, they seemed to have a very perfect measure to bury the corpse.
"You've come so far from Andong City, haven't you encountered such a thing?" Tan Shuizhi squatted down and complained about Xu Wen, who was still in a state of blindfolding, although he had a light smile on his mouth, his eyes still looked very concerned. After all, if Xu Wen was scared to death on the spot, Zhou Xi on the side would not continue to help take care of the child.
"Of course not, this kind of thing has happened a lot." Zhou Xi hurriedly excused Xu Wen, and when he pulled Xu Wen up, Liu Xin and the four of them happened to come to them.
"Are you two alright?" Liu Xin vigilantly blocked the two behind him, looked up and down at the rather manly Tan Shuizhi in front of him, and stared at him without the slightest.
The fat man looked at a long trail of blood on the ground, and the red trickle that had long been polluted turned black, and the ground that had not yet completely dried could indicate that a fierce battle had just taken place.
"Xu Wen, they want to do something to you, and you will take down one of them, right?" The fat man's impassive expression made Tan Shuizhi, who was standing aside, laugh.
If they really do it, neither of these two fragile people seems to be able to fight. Judging from so many words and deeds, the only person who has the right to speak in this Nanzhou Village is this Tan Shuizhi.
"I thought you weren't coming back." Tan Shuizhi took out a pack of cigarettes that had long been folded out of his pocket, and then spit out a puff of thick mist and said, "Nanzhou Village is so big, I don't want to take in so many people." ”
When Liu Xin heard this, he suddenly realized that Tan Shuizhi left Xu Wen and Zhou Xi not only to take care of the newborn child, but also to think that the six of them came to Nanzhou Village to ask for help. Just when everyone was silent, Zhong Zhiyuan, who sent the old man Xiahou Qiubai back to his room to sleep, arrived panting, apparently afraid that they would have some conflict.
"Yo, college student, where did you run all day today?" Tan Shuizhi handed over a cigarette, but his mouth was still unforgiving. Zhong Zhiyuan was not surprised, took the cigarette and began to ignore Tan Shuizhi's words and light a cigarette.
"We're not going to stay here, we're just passing by accident." Ouyang Xun hurriedly explained, after all, such an embarrassing scene, it was strange for several people to stand on the yellow mud road full of mosquitoes.
Ouyang Xun's words did not win Tan Shuizhi's trust at all, and it seemed that this was not the first time that someone had broken in to seek help. Although Namju Village is close to the city, it is surrounded by dense trees on all sides, and it is a natural place of refuge where everyone wants to continue living. Zhang Pengtao continued to look around, and the closed doors of every house seemed to be ready to deal with the out-of-control at night. With such an orderly Nanzhou Village, it is difficult to feel uneasy.
"Where did you get your guns?" Zhang Pengtao finally asked his inner question, from what he had seen so far, this Nanzhou Village was obviously an ordinary village, and no one was related to the military.
"Three kilometres north from here, across a river, we came to the airport in Ai City, where we saw guns and bullets. Some time ago, several helicopters carried a lot of people, but they were all besieged and eaten by the crazy people at the airport. Zhong Zhiyuan's words made the fat man a little confused, and his head went blank.
The six were speechless, after all, no one dared to speak. The fat man's father sent him a voice message some time ago, informing him that he was coming to the shelter in Ai Ling City, but judging from Zhong Zhiyuan's description, the group of people who arrived in Ai Ling City were already killed. Tan Shuizhi seemed to see the fat man's sudden change in mood, and handed over the only remaining cigarette in his hand.
"Thank you." The fat man thanked him deflated, put the cigarette in his mouth, and the bitterness of his first cigarette made him gradually sober up. But when I thought of the first out-of-control outbreak in Andong City, when my father pushed my mother out with his own hands, I became less sad. Liu Xin looked at the tangled fat man, and the impermeable Nanzhou Village suddenly rolled up a cool breeze.
"There isn't much food stored in the village, but I can take you a few bottles of water. You can try your luck at the airport in Ai Ling, which is dangerous, but there is definitely some relief left. ”
Zhong Zhiyuan's words also gave the confused six people a hope, now they don't seem to pray for the existence of the refuge, in this era of lost contact, no one knows what the current situation of other cities is, but the first thing they need to do now is how to survive in this troubled world. Otherwise, after fleeing for so long, it is impossible to give up directly here.
The six of them slowly fell asleep with the anxiety of tomorrow, and the air was fresh and refreshing on a sunny morning. Liu Xin was still the first to wake up, and the next one who woke up was Zhang Pengtao. The two of them don't seem to need much sleep, and their mental state is as excited as if they have been beaten every day.
The moment I opened the door, I was greeted by the light and shadow on the ground, and the summer cicadas on the trees were already ringing around.
"Are you awake? So early. Zhou Wenzhen, who was sitting on the ground in the courtyard, was pouring dried tea leaves.
"Will the child still cry in the middle of the night last night?" Tan Shuizhi complained in a hoarse voice early in the morning.
After all, the only newborn child in Nanzhou Village can be regarded as enough to make a fuss for a long time. As a novice father, Zhou Wenzhen is in a state of wanting to sleep but can't sleep every night. It didn't take long for a commotion to sound outside, and Liu Xin ran out of the yard only to see two men killing the runaway who broke in.
"It's not once or twice." Zhou Wenzhen looked at it in surprise, only to see that the person who was out of control was stabbed in the head by two men with sharp knives, and blood gushed out the moment he pulled it out.
If they want to survive in this troubled world, it is also a very difficult thing, and it takes a long time to learn to kill people to be so handy. After all, all the way to escape, Liu Xin and the six of them almost didn't do much, on the one hand, they didn't dare to fight hand-to-hand without weapons, and on the other hand, they didn't know how to completely solve this group of crazy new human beings. Zhang Pengtao looked at this skillful action, and he could be regarded as having learned how to kill with one blow.
"Let Zhong Zhiyuan take you to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment today and stay for a day." Tan Shuizhi's words happened to be heard by Zhou Xi, who had just woken up, and Zhou Xi looked at Tan Shuizhi reluctantly when he saw this.
"I've basically taught the skills I learned from the Internet to raise children, and you can figure out the rest by yourself."
"You went out of your way to learn this online?" Liu Xin looked at Zhou Xi in shock.
"I didn't mean it, I accidentally saw it, I looked at it twice. I've never eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run. After speaking, Zhou Xi turned his head and walked into the room, for fear that he would be mistaken for a woman who had just given birth.
This village is not as comfortable as outsiders seem, just one morning, the men of the village have already killed many people who broke in by themselves, some with guns and some with knives, and even directly with bricks and bricks, it can be regarded as shocking to the six people. The fat man was holding a bowl of white porridge, looking at the scene of bloody brains bursting out outside the door, and instantly lost any appetite. But Tan Shuizhi's three men ate exceptionally fragrant, and Liu Xin had to try his best to continue drinking porridge without thinking about anything.
After all, he was a trained person, and Zhang Pengtao even began to step forward to discuss with a few strangers how to defend himself. Holding a bowl of white porridge full of pork belly, he squatted down and began to study the severed head while eating, and his brain, which was still beating slightly, slowly stopped in front of his eyes.
