Chapter 14: Strange Man

Outside Liushi, Fan Hu, who was carrying a large pile of things on his back, held a machete in one hand and made a way through the mountain forest, where the path that had been walked by humans had been completely covered by dense vegetation due to the lack of human activity for a long time

In the mountain forest, all kinds of insects and birds are singing endlessly, compared to the willow market, which is similar to a ghost town, this mountain forest seems to be full of vitality

Fan Hu cut down all the plants that stood in the way, the sound of these animals was indeed pleasant, but Fan Hu was not happy at all, he held a gun in his left hand, his eyes scanned the surroundings as if he was facing a great enemy, his ears also carefully distinguished all the sounds, and his face was even more nervous, in the apocalypse, not only zombies are a threat to humans, but there is also a creature that scares lonely humans more than zombies, that is, mutant beasts

Mutant beasts, as the name suggests, are mutated beasts, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, the virus enveloped the entire earth, and all the humans infected by the virus became zombies, while animals are different from humans, most animals are immune to the virus, but there are very rare animals that have mutated because of the infection of the virus, but it is more appropriate to say that evolution is not so much a mutation, because these mutated animals are different from zombies, not only have they changed greatly in size, but the combat effectiveness of a single body has increased countless times, Far more than zombies, and compared with the zombies who have no consciousness and only know how to kill and eat, the intelligence of these mutant beasts has not only not disappeared, but has been greatly improved, but the only fortunate thing is that unlike zombies, mutant beasts not only have no infectious power, but regard zombies as mortal enemies, and because of this, humans call them mutant beasts and distinguish them from zombies

But in the final analysis, the real threat to the status of human beings is zombies, although the strength of mutant beasts is terrifying, but there is a fatal shortcoming, that is, the number is extremely rare, and it can only continue the next generation through reproduction, its number is simply not enough to destroy the entire human civilization, and the number of zombies is huge, and its huge number and deadly infection are enough to destroy the entire human race

Fan Hu walked cautiously in the bushes, he had seen the horror of mutant beasts, in Liushi he had seen a mutant cat fighting a group of zombies alone, killing the zombie group to pieces, of course, in the end, the mutant beast did not end well, was surrounded by the endless zombie group like the sea and consumed to death, and that time Fan Hu also picked up a rare bargain and ate a meal of mutant beast meat

The advantage of walking in the mountains and forests is that you don't have to bask in the sun, Fan Lake walks for an hour and rests for five minutes, and by dusk, Fan Lake has gone deep into the mountains and forests

Fan Hu glanced up at the sun in the distance, and stretched out his hand to compare the distant mountain peaks with the sun, and there was only about three fingers left between the sun and the mountain peaks

"There is still more than half an hour" There is no watch, Fan Hu can only use this local method to roughly measure the time of sunset, although this method is not very accurate, but the difference is still not big

"It's time to set up camp" Fan Hu put down his hand and continued to move forward, the mountains and forests at night were extremely dangerous, and he also needed to rest

After walking for more than twenty minutes, Fan Lake finally found an open place, and at this time, half of the sun had set on the horizon of the peak

This clearing is not big, about thirty meters in radius, but it is enough for Fan Hu to be vigilant, and the survivors of the long years of hard survival have strong survival skills, holding a machete to clear the grass in the middle of the clearing enough for him to move, and then put down all the backpacks and then Fan Hu walked into the woods

Time passed minute by minute, the sun in the distance was only a small corner, the sky quickly darkened, and soon Fan Hu walked out of the woods with a bunch of branches of different thicknesses

Back at the camp, Fan Hu put the branch down and took out a few dry branches to the side to pick up a pile of hay while taking out a lighter from his pocket to make a fire

"Click" soon the lighter burst into flames, Fan Hu lit the hay, reached out and threw the branches into the fire, and soon the flames were vigorous, and at this time the sun had completely set, Fan Hu set up a simple bed next to the fire with the branches he picked up, this bed size can barely sleep a person, and because the branches are uneven, it also seems a little potholed, but for Fan Hu enough, at least there is no need to sleep with those snakes, insects, rats and ants at night

"Well, yes" Fan Hu clapped his hands with satisfaction, then took out the pot from his backpack, put the pot on the fire with wood and added water, and then Fan Hu picked up a torch and walked into the woods

After entering the woods, Fan Hu took out a roll of fishing line from the pocket of his clothes, these lines were pre-tied with bells, Fan Hu bent down and tied the end of the line to a branch fifty centimeters above the ground, and then fixed the line every two meters, all the way around the camp, surrounding the whole camp

After tying the end of the last line, Fan Hu glanced at the bells on the line, "Okay, it should be no problem", there are not so many conditions in the field, this device is the most time-saving and labor-saving alarm device

After the preparations were done, Fan Hu returned to the camp, at this time on the bonfire, the water was already boiling and steaming, Fan Hu took out a pack of instant noodles from his backpack and opened it, put all the noodles and seasonings into the pot, and soon, a unique aroma of instant noodles wafted out of the pot

Fan Hu took the chopsticks and flipped through the instant noodles in the pot, and at the same time leaned in and inhaled hard with his nose, "Hiss, ah, delicious"

After a hard day's work, he ate a loaf of bread at noon, Fan Hu was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, looking at the instant noodles in the pot Fan Hu had already moved his index finger, the instant noodles were cooked quickly, and they were completely cooked in just a few minutes, Fan Hu saw it, and immediately took the pot down, sat cross-legged and put the rifle on his legs, put the pot on the rifle, held the chopsticks in one hand and the pot in the other hand and sat directly on the ground to eat

"Hiss....ah" Fan Hu sighed while eating instant noodles, and kept exclaiming in his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, it's so delicious"

Just as Fan Hu had just eaten a few bites, suddenly a voice sounded

"Squeak"

This sound is very small, if you don't listen carefully, you will think that it is the cracking sound of branches in the campfire, but who is Fan Hu? Years of survival in Liushi have made his eyesight and hearing very sharp

Fan Hu's reaction power was not unpleasant, and the moment the voice sounded, Fan Hu threw the chopsticks and pot to the ground, directly picked up the rifle, stood up, and turned to aim at the woods on the left

"Who" Fan Hu looked at the dark woods warily

Just then, a voice came from the woods "Don't shoot, don't shoot"

The voice was very weak, but Fan Hu still heard that it was a man's voice, and sure enough, within a moment, a man staggered out of the dark woods, and when the man walked about twenty meters away from Fan Hu, he touched Fan Hu's alarm device

"Ding Ding Ding..."

Hearing the voice, the man immediately stopped, looked down at the bell under his feet, and immediately understood something, and then immediately retreated, until he retreated about forty meters away from Fan Lake

Fan Hu has been looking at the man coldly from beginning to end, because there is no light, Fan Hu can't see the man's appearance clearly, but from the outline and some details of the body, Fan Hu speculates that this man is about the same age as him, and he is in his twenties

"Speak" Fan Hu directly aimed the bullet at the man, and at the same time his eyes continued to scan the surroundings vigilantly, Fan Hu didn't know if this man had accomplices, so he had to keep an eye on it

This mountain forest is very silent, the bullet is loaded very loudly, as soon as the man heard the voice, he knew that Fan Hu had moved the killing intent, but fortunately, Fan Hu also asked him to explain, and did not shoot directly, which made the man suddenly have a glimmer of hope

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I don't mean anything," the man shouted, as he quickly stripped off his clothes and pants and lay on the ground with his hands raised

"My lord, don't shoot, I'm alone, I have no accomplices, I'm over now, I have no malicious intent, please don't shoot" After speaking, the man directly raised his hands and slowly crawled towards Fan Hu

"My lord, don't shoot, my lord, don't shoot, I have no ill ....." The man shouted while crawling on the ground, probably too weak, the man's speed was very slow, it took several minutes to climb in front of the alarm device of Fan Lake, the man stopped and looked up at the thin line and bell on his head, and then cautiously crossed over, when he climbed to the edge of the woods more than ten meters away from Fan Lake, the man stopped

"My lord, I'm standing up now, don't shoot," the man said, slowly rising from the ground with his hands raised

When the man stood up, Fan Hu glanced the man up and down, although the man was bare at this time, but Fan Hu still didn't dare to be careless, and after looking at it, Fan Hu said coldly with frost on his face, "Turn around"

Hearing Fan Hu's words, the man immediately turned around and slowly turned around in place for a few laps before stopping

"Squatting hard" in the apocalypse, the way of the survivor's sneak attack can be described as full of tricks, hiding weapons in the anus to take advantage of its unpreparedness to sneak attack Fan Hu Although he has not done it himself, but he has seen and encountered it, although the method is disgusting, but it is very effective, the winner is king, as long as you can win, who cares what method you use

Under Fan Hu's order, the man raised his hands and squatted hard, and after squatting three times in a row, the man stopped, hiding weapons in the anus, as long as he squatted hard, the anus would expand uncontrollably instantly, and the weapons hidden in it would fall off, this is the simplest and most effective way, after all, Fan Hu can't go to see other people's anus

Fan Hu yelled at the man, "Come slowly"

"It's an adult" The man walked slowly towards Fan Hu, probably seeing that he was still alive, with a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes

When the man slowly walked less than two meters away from Fan Hu, Fan Hu stopped the man

"Stop"

Fan Hu walked up directly and quickly, aiming at the man, and checking all the man's body

"Open your mouth"

The man opened his mouth "Ahhh

After checking the man up and down, before the man could react, Fan Hu suddenly walked behind the man and raised the butt of the gun to the man's waist and smashed it directly

"Bang"

"Ahh

The man screamed and was directly smashed to the ground, and before the man could react, Fan Hu directly pressed his right knee on the man's back and pressed the man to the ground, and at the same time broke the man's hands back, untied the belt from his waist and tied the man's hands

"Don't be an adult, don't be an adult, let go of the villain" The weak man even screamed loudly, let alone resisted, Fan Hu tied the man's hands and feet with almost no effort

"Don't, my lord, please, please" The man who was tied hand and foot turned over and looked up and cried and begged Fan Hu for mercy, at this time he had a sense of mortal danger

In Liushi, death is as common as eating, and human life is not enough to describe that hellish environment, so in the face of the man's begging for mercy, Fan Hu's face did not fluctuate at all, he squatted down and pinched the man's face and looked carefully, this man should have been hungry for a long time, the whole person not only had messy hair but also extremely thin, although his face was dirty and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could still see that he was a young man about the same age as Fan Hu

"My lord, don't kill me, I'll leave right away, please" The man looked at Fan Hu, his eyes full of pleading
