Chapter 002: Valkyrie
As the gunshots rang out, Xiao Ke, who had already run nearly a kilometer away, fell down in response.
Seeing this, the subordinates around the commander couldn't help cheering excitedly, and they all turned their admiring eyes to the commander and complimented: "The commander's marksmanship is like a god!" ”
"Huh!"
The commander smiled, his eyes smug as he returned the sniper rifle to his men.
But at this moment, Xiao Ke, who suddenly saw him fall in the distance, struggled again, and continued to run forward, and the smug smile on the commander's face froze instantly.
It turned out that the shot he was determined to get just now grazed Xiao Ke's right shoulder, and although Xiao Ke's shoulder was bloody, it was not fatal.
The commander was shocked and angry, and seemed to have suffered a great disgrace, and he immediately commanded: "Drive and chase me, I will kill him!" ”
Xiao Ke had already gotten into the jungle at this time, covering his shoulders and running frantically, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and fled from afternoon to late at night.
His clothes were in tatters from tree branches, and his shoesless feet were stained with blood. There was no longer a trace of strength in his body, so he collapsed under a big hugging tree, gasping for breath without moving.
Since the outbreak of the zombie virus a hundred years ago, the global climate has also changed a lot. In addition to the fact that acid rain from the sky can affect the quality of the land, causing the land to become wasteland and unable to grow food. The biggest change is that the global climate has no four seasons, with hot days and cold nights.
Xiao Ke, who was originally tired, slept vaguely in the middle of the night for a long time, and was woken up by the cold.
Just as he woke up, he heard a slight noise not far away.
The sound of this small branch being trampled on, although it was very small, but in the extraordinarily quiet late night, I thought very clearly, Xiao Ke instantly fell asleep, and his whole body tensed.
He remained silent, grabbed a stone from the ground, slowly stood up, and hid behind a tree with bated breath.
Click!
There was another sound of a small branch on the ground being trampled off, and it was obvious that someone was coming this way.
Xiao Ke slowly peeked from behind the tree very, very carefully, and then immediately dilated his pupils and gasped.
Unlike what he imagined the Imperial soldiers were hunting down, it wasn't the Imperial soldiers who were coming towards him, but a zombie.
Zombies are definitely the most feared existence of human beings, and they can even be said to be the natural enemies of human beings.
The outbreak of the zombie virus has only been a hundred years since now, and the earth originally had 10 billion people, but now only about 1 billion are left, and 90% of the population has died in this apocalyptic catastrophe.
Zombies not only swept the world, but they also continued to evolve in a hundred years, and now the advanced zombies that have evolved in the world have incomparably powerful destructive power, in addition to having the intelligence of human wisdom.
Among human beings, there are pessimistic scholars who believe that human beings will soon perish, and zombies will become the new masters of the earth.
Xiao Ke didn't expect that he would encounter a zombie here, he secretly stared at the zombie not far away, who was constantly sniffing the air with a nose, and then tracking it step by step towards this side.
The zombie's head was rotting, its eyes were protruding, its mouth was open and it was covered in sticky venom, and it was covered in green color. The body is very strong, the arms are small and short, but the legs are unusually strong and developed. The zombie bent over and sniffed the air with its nose, like a velociraptor chasing its prey.
Xiao Ke's face was even more ugly, because he had already identified it, this was a level 3 assault zombie!
The zombie hunched its body, a pair of arms the size of a baby, stretched forward, subconsciously scratching, and on its rotten face, its nose kept sniffing, and it moved a pair of thick legs that were exceptionally strong and out of proportion with its body, and walked towards the big tree in front of it step by step, because it had found that the smell of blood in the air was wafting from behind the tree.
"Wow!"
The Raider Zombie screamed, accelerated suddenly, and swooped down on the back of the trees like a wild beast preyding.
However, when it rushed behind the tree, it was stunned, because there were no humans in sight behind the tree.
However, there was a blood-stained human shirt scattered on the ground, and although the blood on the clothes had dried up, it still gave off a strong smell of blood. The Raider zombie looked salivating at the sight of the most delicious food, and then pounced on it like a wild dog pounced on it, crouched on the ground, and frantically gnawed on its blood-stained shirt.
However, it bit twice, suddenly noticed something, and then looked up in confusion.
And at the moment when it raised its head, Xiao Ke, who was holding the stone in both hands, had already jumped from the tree, and the stone in his hand smashed on the zombie's head.
With a bang, the zombie's head was directly opened.
Xiao Ke also took the opportunity to roll on a lazy donkey, rolled to the side, and then stood up in shock, he actually did it and killed the assault zombie. You must know the whole process, if there is a slight mistake, if you are bitten or scratched by a zombie, you may be infected with the zombie virus and die. Xiao Ke himself also felt that he was lucky to be able to kill this zombie.
Where there are zombies, there is usually not only one zombie, because the humans killed by zombies will also become zombies.
So this place is already unsafe.
Xiao Ke didn't dare to stay here any longer, barefoot, barefoot, braving the icy cold wind, hugging his body and trembling forward.
When the sky was dark, Xiao Ke had already walked out of this vast jungle, but he was tired, hungry and cold, and he felt that he was going to die, not to starve to death, but to freeze to death.
And at this moment, he suddenly found that there was a person not far away, a person wearing the costume of an imperial soldier to be precise.
Xiao Ke cautiously passed, and then found that it was a dead man, but he didn't know how to die here?
In this apocalyptic era, dead people are very common, Xiao Ke didn't care at all how this imperial soldier died, at this time, he was already too cold to do it, and without hesitation, he directly took off the soldier's clothes, and then put them on himself.
Whether it is military boots or clothes, it turns out to be an abnormal fit, Xiao Ke, who was originally a refugee, after wearing this clothes, his mental temperament changed in an instant, and he became a powerful imperial soldier.
In addition to clothes and military boots, Xiao Ke also got three other things, one was half a moldy loaf of bread, the other was a sharp standard saber, and a broken ancient jade pendant, but unfortunately there was no gun that Xiao Ke wanted.
Xiao Ke devoured the moldy bread, and even licked the bread crumbs off his fingers before revealing a satisfied expression.
Although half a loaf of bread did not fill the stomach, it was able to hold on for a while.
Xiao Ke continued to move forward, wanting to find a place where there were people, after all, it was very dangerous to be alone in the wild, in addition to encountering zombies, he could also encounter cannibals who ate people without food at any time.
He walked for half an hour, and suddenly saw a road in front of him, and a group of people were hurrying on the road, and he looked happy: "Haha, it should be a group of displaced people who have migrated in vain, follow them, the road is safer, and you can find the next human gathering camp and start a new life." ”
"Hey, everyone, where are you going, don't you mind taking me?"
The group of people who were hurrying all stopped, and they all walked towards Xiao Ke who came out of the roadside wilderness.
Xiao Ke trotted over with easy steps, but after getting closer, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong!
These people in front of me were all dressed in the clothes of imperial soldiers, but these people were all disheveled, their hands were tied with ropes, and each of them had ropes attached to a person, looking like prisoners tied in a string!
It turned out that these were deserters who were greedy for life and afraid of death and were unwilling to go to the battlefield to fight zombies.
And these deserters, all of whom have been arrested, tied together, and are being escorted back for interrogation and sanctions!
There were dozens of deserters in front of him, and these guys were tied together with ropes, and the one who was in charge of escorting the deserters was in charge. There was only one female officer, she was wearing a black uniform, and in addition to a pistol, she also had a narrow saber hanging from her waist, and she was as heroic as a Valkyrie.
This Valkyrie-like officer, when she saw Xiao Ke, her pretty face showed a sneer: "Another waste deserter!" ”
Xiao Ke's eyes widened: Deserter, is she talking about me?
The Valkyrie said coldly: "I am Qin Bing, the commander of the Black Shark Legion, and I am ordered to hunt down you deserters. You should know my methods, don't waste my time, go to the back of the line yourself, tie yourself up. Follow them and go back together to accept sanctions. ”
Xiao Ke looked left and right, and finally determined two things, the first thing was that this commander named Qin Bing regarded him as a deserter; The second thing was that he was shocked to find that Qin Bing was escorting dozens of deserters forward alone, and none of the deserters dared to resist, not even to escape.
This Qin Bing, is it really so terrifying? Do you want to run away? Or explain to her that she is not a deserter, and that this dress was picked up and worn, but will she be willing to listen to her explanation?
And at this time, among the group of deserters who were tied, some people were already impatiently saying: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and tie yourself up, and go back together to accept the trial and sanctions, it's hard to take you and you still want the commander to take action in person, you don't want to live?" ”
