Volume 2 Struggle Chapter 2 Lakeside
It's already autumn, but the temperate oceanic climate still makes it rain fast in the forest, Mo Xuan hugged the radio station on his arm, covered with the tarp, and hooked the half box of drinking water with a hand holding the bottom, he hung the knife behind him, looking a little difficult to move forward.
Fortunately, it is not a rainforest, and the ground is mostly covered with red cedar roots, there are not many other plants, and the low grass and not too dense shrubs on the soil make it not easy for them to be exposed and not too difficult to move forward.
"Are you tired? Move me for a while? Curry, who was in charge of the sentry in front, looked back.
The two were more than ten meters apart, and Curry was worried that if he was discovered, he would have to give Mo Xuan time to hide the radio station. After all, there are no guys in hand now, and the number is scarce, and if you meet some people with bad intentions, you can't force the other party to reason with you.
Although Mo Xuan has not met this kind of person yet, there have been many social news or literary works that tell people that there are many bad people in the world.
About one o'clock in the afternoon, Mo Xuan signaled that he needed to rest.
Curry came up to him and sat down with him at the root of the tree. He patted Mo Xuan's leg and said, "It's almost to the river, if there are no other survivors by the river, we can catch fish and eat." ”
"You still dare to eat fish? Not afraid of turning into a zombie after eating? Mo Xuan teased.
"When I was in the town before, I didn't find that fish mutated, didn't we eat it at that time? The creek in the town is a tributary of the Migratory Bird River, so I don't think there should be any problems. Curry relieved.
"I haven't found any wild animals after walking for so long, doesn't it mean that there are a lot of deer in the park?"
"At the beginning, the state did not introduce large beasts here, so in order to control the population, hunting was encouraged, and now there are no large creatures on the periphery of the forest, and they are all in deeper places." Curry looked around, touched his beard and said, "But it should be possible to trap some small creatures, like squirrels and the like." ”
"Let's go to the river first, sit for another five minutes, and we'll go."
"Yes."
……
An hour later, the two finally arrived at the third small cliff of the Migratory Bird River.
"After that, it's a flat river." Curry's family lives in the countryside and is no stranger to parks.
A small waterfall hangs in the air, a small rainbow, carefree like a child.
"There is no trace of any activity nearby, so we can rest here for a while." Mo Xuan said to Curry after checking around the neighborhood.
Curry told Mo Xuan to stay on guard, and he went to the river to start catching fish.
Half an hour later, the two sat down by the river and ate grilled fish without a little seasoning.
"This is called the road of heaven and earth." Mo Xuan, who had been hungry all morning, felt that this grilled fish was quite delicious.
"Let's just walk along the river, about twenty-five kilometers or so, we can get to Huanzhu Lake, I guess there will be a lot of survivors there." Curry ate the fish and watched the water vapor rise from the cascade.
"The last time I went to Huanzhu Lake was about when I was in junior high school, and it has been two or three years." Mo Xuan's tone sounded quite nostalgic.
At this time, there was a small gunshot in the distance. Startled up a group of birds over there.
The two immediately stood up.
"The voice is echoing, and it's hard to judge the direction." Mo Xuan said.
"The location to see the birds should be in the direction of Huanzhu Lake, about three kilometers away from us." Curry quickly finished the last bit of fish and buried the fire.
"Shall you go over and have a look?"
"It's like a shotgun, it's dangerous, are you sure?"
"If it's another survivor who is attacked, we can do a favor."
……
Hood entered the forest through the main gate almost at the same time as Mo Ji and the others heard the gunshot, but it was too far away for him to hear the gunshot.
On the way there, on the sunny highway, he could clearly see that there were many more dents on his gorgeous sports car, and the expensive paint had been rubbed off a lot, so he picked up the brandy on the passenger seat and poured it vigorously.
"Hoohoo!" He cheered, and the speed on the dial was almost two hundred kilometers per hour.
Crashing over the railing and parking in the park's parking lot, he felt like he might never have had such an enjoyable moment in his life.
Get out of the car and remove a backpack from the dented front storage cover.
"Didn't you say that something made of memory metal could bounce back? You're bounced back! ”
He had to kick the lid twice to open it because it was too deformed.
In one bag, except for a few clothes, the rest was all excellent spirits that had been protected.
"This is the treasure," he said, stroking the bottle as if it were a lover's skin, "a true gift from God." ”
After the zombies attacked Mo Xuan's villa, he secretly cleaned up the remaining zombies with crossbow arrows, walked into Mo Xuan's warehouse, and found that most of the wine was still intact.
Entering the forest, the humidity has risen by a large margin to a noticeably palpable degree. With his backpack in front of him, a crossbow in his hand, and a quiver and shotgun on his back, he looked like a wild game enthusiast on an outing.
The forest is still peaceful, with insects chirping in the grass. Hood followed the trail that had been laid for sightseeing, which stretched for nearly two kilometers before subtly disappearing into the forest.
"Why are there walking corpses here, is there no survivor camp by the lake?" Hood hooked his lips and smiled, maybe there wasn't one in the first place?
The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was fleeting, and the walking corpse turned to look at Hood.
"Damn, I missed the shot." The arrow passed through the upper right side of the corpse's brain, but did not hit the thalamus, but it still retained its mobility.
Zombies rushed towards him, roaring with a low voice.
Unhurriedly, Hood pulled another arrow from the crossbow, wound it, and then lifted his boot against the zombie's stomach and shoved the crossbow into its mouth.
"Grandpa is here to teach you a lesson. It's called, unswerving. ”
The arrow broke through the back of his head and nailed straight to the trunk of a tree in the distance, and the body of the walking corpse slowly went limp, Hood took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his crossbow, recovered the crossbow arrow, and continued to walk deeper with a small song.
……
"You attacked them." In front of the window of the isolation ward of the First Hospital, he turned his head.
The books sat quietly next to the pillow.
"Do you know the gap between mediocrity and genius?" He raised his eyes slightly, looking at the woman who seemed to be invincible when she was nailed to the hospital wall.
"Since you won't die, let's feel the pain here." Once again, he left his room, but this time he might not return.
Behind her, several walking corpses are gnawing at their original queen, but her ability to recover is so strong that she doesn't even need to transform energy to complete regeneration.
And she was nailed to the wall like a Jesus, and her throat was removed at some point, but it was still hanging out of her body, and she could not moan, but could only bear the pain of the torture of Prometheus.
She couldn't understand why, after he left, the walking corpses continued to obey the man's will, ignoring her orders.
"To preserve your sanity is to feel pain." He said indifferently before leaving.
……
"Everyone's alright, right?" In the van, Aier asked.
"We got separated from them," Hamura said, turning back from the driver's seat.
"How many people have been separated?" Mr. Andrew, driving another car, followed from behind and asked.
"Except for Hu De, who left the team, Mo Han, Ivan, Cui Shengzhi, Mo Xuan and Xu Chu are separated, and everyone else is here."
"I thought I saw Ah Jue following the sheriff - called Curry." Emily said with a look of horror.
"In which direction?" Ai'er frowned, and the loss of five people at once made her very anxious.
"Ah...... I didn't see it, but at that time a whale fell down, and I don't know if it hit them. Emily said with a little stumbling.
"It's okay, I asked Mohan to modify the radio in the car before, and now it can also be used to send announcements, and we will keep trying." Al quickly adjusted his state and began to give orders: "Omega, you and Emily help Anna count the supplies in the carriage; Su Hao, please check everyone's injuries; Scott was in charge of the vigilance. Hamura, where are you heading now? ”
"Nan, I'm going to go to the border between Huanzhu Park and the Cold Forest Zone, there should be a lot of supplies there, but I'm running out of gas here."
"Then you stop at the next service station, if they don't follow us on the same road, I guess they are now on their way to Huanzhu Park, let's go to Huanzhu Park to meet them. Teacher, did you save other survivors over there? ”
"A family of three, the child is only seven years old, and their car was smashed by a whale." Venus poked her head out of Andrew's car and said.
"Then you calm their emotions and tell Mr. Andrew to follow Hamura's car."
"I hear you." Andrew replied.
"Aier, I don't think we should go to Huanzhu Lake now." Hamura said.
"Why?"
"We don't have clothes, and it will be winter in three months, and now it's very unrealistic to go back to the city, we should go to the cold forest belt first, and the shops there will always stock up on mountaineering clothes and winter clothes, so we can go to those winter clothes over there and then go north along the migratory bird north to find them." Anna explained.
"It's still Anna-chan smart." Hamura smiled and praised his girlfriend.
"I'm afraid that by that time they have already moved and they will not be able to contact us." Al voiced his concerns.
"That's no way, it's not necessarily that they're there now, and we do need supplies, Emperor, how did you order?" As if to prove his words, Hamura asked about Omega.
"I'm not very optimistic, we lack everything now." Anna stood up and reported: "We only have about three days of food and water, a crossbow, forty rounds of crossbow arrows, the guns have basically been destroyed, only two pistols and two shotguns remain, of which there are seventy rounds of pistols and only fifty shotguns left, and there are still 100 rounds of sniper rifles left in Mo Xuan's place here before, but I think this thing cannot be used without professional training." There is almost nothing left. ”
Er felt that the world was impermanent, so he could only lean back in the carriage and smile bitterly.
"What is your decision?" Hamura asked, turning his head.
"Listen to you, let's go to the cold forest belt first, I hope they can be strong enough for us to save them. By the way, did Emily just say that she saw Mo Xuan? And what about Mohan them? ”
……
"It's not a solution for us to stay in the basement all the time, it's only a week's worth of food at most, and we can't solve the hygiene problem." Choi Sung-ji straightened out his messy hairstyle and felt desperate.
"Mohan, why didn't you look for a car at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have run to this place to save you." Ivan was so angry that he even began to say something he didn't understand in Russian.
"I'm sorry......" Mo Han didn't know how to justify, he usually studied computer programs alone, and over time, when he encountered danger, he instinctively wanted to find a remote corner, and he couldn't drive.
"There's no weapons here, oh, there's a baseball bat, a table leg, a couple of screwdrivers, it's dead." Cui Shengzhi felt that the more he spoke, the more desperate he became, and he planned to find a place to sleep for a while.
……
"Where are they all gone......" Xu Chu sat in the middle of a bunch of strangers with a handful of NE87 left, scratching his head, feeling very puzzled.
……
"What do you think is the blood stain of something?" Mo Xuan stood where the gunshot had just gone off, and there was a trail of blood on the ground.
"Probably a deer, they're lucky enough to meet a deer here."
"How do you know it's a deer?"
"There are some scattered hairs in the ground, probably deer hair, just to kill a deer and waste a bullet, I feel that their lives are very rich." Curry looked around again and sighed.
"What do you mean just for a deer, it's hard to kill a deer, right?"
"It's easy to catch with traps." The special forces team members found it very simple, "You don't even have to do it yourself." ”
"You're amazing...... Let's go along and have a look? Mo Xuan asked.
"I don't recommend this, if there are a lot of survivors here who dare to be so swaggering, it means that their capital is not small."
"Then let them be kind enough to take in the poor people, both of us are young and strong, and we shouldn't be disliked."
"Let's go, they should go to the lake."
