Chapter 37: Tracing the Way
The most beautiful scenery in the world is always the result of nature's ingenuity, and the world's most bizarre terrain is nothing more than the whimsitization of nature.
Standing on a boulder next to the raised mountain road, even if there is no road sign, there is no mistake in the footsteps, and at your feet is the second slope of the West Mountain.
Coming out of Xishan Village early in the morning, everyone in the Beidou team rushed directly to this place to look for clues to the traces of vampires.
"Look, there's blood here." Li Xiaofei suddenly pointed to a piece of dead grass on the side of the road that had obviously been trampled on by his feet and said.
"These vampires have really run into each other here." Chi Hua said as he twisted the brown blood stains on a blade of grass with his hand.
"The question is how do we determine which way these vampires are going?" Luo Zhigang frowned.
"It's unlikely that they're in a hurry during the day, and if we can determine the direction, we can touch the villages one by one in the dumbest way?"
"Let Po try it, shall we?" Ouyang said suddenly.
"Ah, can Bao really be a dog?" Li Xiaofei looked at Ah Bao with a curious expression.
Hearing his name mentioned, Bao's round head slowly turned around, looking for the person to speak.
Seeing Ah Bao looking at him, Li Xiaofei was so frightened that he hid behind Chi Hua, it seemed that he was bitten by Ah Bao last time.
"In fact, the dog's sense of smell is not the most sensitive among animals, at least the pig's sense of smell is above the dog, and the panda's sense of smell is also above the dog, not to mention that our Po is still an evolved animal." Ouyang said that he really led Ah Bao to a bloody place for Ah Bao to sniff, and he also squatted down with Ah Bao's head and followed, "Found it, they went west." ”
"Get on the horse, let's go, we can't let them go when we chase to the ends of the earth this time!" Luo Zhigang waved his whip and rushed out first.
……
Tian Jiatuan.
An ordinary village next to the national highway, because it is not far from the high-speed service area, the living standard of the villagers before the end of the economy is good by the highway economy, and the village has built a number of two-story small buildings. It is also because of the proximity to the road, after the end of the world, it has become a temporary settlement for a large number of urban refugees, and every house in the village that can live is crowded with urban refugees from outside, and there are only a few local villagers left.
Some of the refugees chose to stay, while many more used it as a temporary transit point, staying for a few days without food or opportunity before moving on to the next place.
Because of the frequent movement of people, there is no force here. There can be no order without power, and although murder, robbery, rape, and other acts are not blatant in broad daylight, they occur all the time in uninhabited corners or at night. It is also another microcosm of the post-apocalyptic conditions of human settlements.
Ah Bao led the Beidou team to track all the way to the village next to the road.
Eight tall horses walked through the street, which naturally attracted great attention, and one by one their heads poked out of the windows of the room, and on both sides of the street were crowds of onlookers, curiously watching the knights on the horses, pointing and pointing from time to time.
Naturally, the panda Ah Bao attracted the most attention, causing the crowd of onlookers to exclaim for a while, or feel people's attention, Ah Bao walked at the head of the line, holding his head high and his fat ass and twisting and twisting.
Seeing that the knight on the horse was not vicious, some of the bold children even began to run after Po, dancing happily as they ran, bringing bursts of laughter to this dreary settlement.
While people were curiously pointing at the Beidou team, Chi Hua and the others were also looking at the crowd on the street at the same time.
Although the temperature in April has not frozen to death, but the thick radiation clouds on the head still make the temperature about 10 degrees colder than usual, the people on the street are still wrapped in thick clothes, the outermost layer has long been dirty and can not see the original color, the skin of the wrists, necks and other exposed parts of the clothes are dark, the vast majority of the refugees have not had the opportunity to take a bath for half a year, this is unimaginable for modern city people who have long been accustomed to taking a bath once a day or two before the end of the world.
But what really surprised Chi Hua and the others was not the yellowness and hunger on a person's face, but the fact that many people in the crowd had tumors and open ulcers on their exposed body parts.
Chi Hua couldn't help but look up at the thick radiation clouds above his head again, most of these people were not directly exposed to nuclear radiation, but the radiation still entered the human body through the flowing air, surface water and food, and the impact on ordinary people had begun to gradually appear.
Hunger, radiation and cannibalism between humans will be the three major threats that will affect the continuation of the human race in the last days, and what the Beidou team is doing is only controlling human cannibalism within a limited range by establishing rules, so how should hunger and radiation deal with it? Thinking of this, Chi Hua suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
Po finally stopped at a half-collapsed room in the northwest corner of the village, and hesitated in front of it. The slab on the second floor of the house collapsed halfway forward, blocking the entrance to the door.
Luo Zhigang made a gesture, and everyone in the Beidou squad scattered, each drawing their blades to enclose the entire room, Zou Lang flew into the air with a little stirrup on his toes, clenching the spear in his hand and making a posture of attacking at any time.
The war horses under everyone's crotches automatically ran to the side, because Ah Bao and Ouyang Minglang were there, and everyone in the team was not worried that the horses would run around.
The crowd of onlookers saw that the knight on the horse suddenly dismounted and drew his sword murderously, and scattered with a hula, but there was still no shortage of brave people who stopped and watched from afar.
"Hey, you see that guy can fly!"
"Stupid, that's an evolutionary."
"You see that the one with the big knife is also an evolutionary, right? How can such a big knife dance? ”
"And the woman also had a sword in her hand! Eh, it's not bad, look at that little face is ruddy! ”
"Be quiet, you want to die, be careful that people gelding you."
The crowd of onlookers was talking one after another, arguing so much that they were even more excited than fighting in person!
Regardless of everyone's discussions, Luo Zhigang's cloak flung out one step at a time, and Luo Zhigang, who had been strengthened many times, has now transformed into a minotaur nearly four meters tall, as if he was taller than the Hulk in the movie. The crowd of onlookers shouted again, and those who had good deeds couldn't help but applaud.
Luo Zhigang took two steps forward and carried the entire floor slab with a single waist, and the space behind the floor was exposed. But what was disappointing was that when the door was lifted open by the floor slab, the whole house was empty except for a few pieces of broken furniture.
Ah Bao took the lead in rushing over and sniffing in all corners of the house, and Chi Hua and the others also followed in, checking to see if there were any valuable clues left, and kept knocking on the walls and floors to see if there were any tunnels or secret doors.
Po walked around the house and then returned to the outside of the house, rubbing on Ouyang's leg flatteringly.
Ouyang patted Ah Bao's head affectionately, stuffed a piece of jerky into its mouth, and then looked up and said, "The vampire has stayed here, and now it seems that he should have left, because there are too many people here, and Ah Bao can only barely identify the direction in which the vampire left." ”
"Why would a vampire choose to hide here?" Luo Zhigang couldn't help but wonder.
"I don't know, the most likely possibility is that the vampire has been injured far more than we thought, and even with its strong recovery ability, it must find a place to heal. There is also a possibility that this vampire has been here before, and there is a lot of people and mobility here, and if one or two people are snatched away by the vampire, it will naturally not attract attention. Chi Hua analyzed seriously.
"Hmm." Luo Zhigang nodded, "As long as you can identify the direction in which they escaped, sooner or later you will catch them." Let's go! ”
Ouyang Minglang put his thumb and middle finger in his mouth and whistled loudly, and the horses that were hiding far away ran over quickly, and everyone in the team got on their horses one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they flew away, leaving only the endless conjectures of the onlookers in the settlement......
