Chapter 171: Winter's Blood I

On this night, the sky was very white.

Towards evening, a drizzle suddenly began to fall, and the glass windows that were blown by the north wind slammed. Zhang Zhao and the others did not step out of the room after nightfall. Zhang Zhao lifted the inferior curtains and looked out, the rain had been falling for more than two hours, and there was no intention to stop, but it was more abrupt. It was pitch black outside, but I could dimly see that the clouds in the sky were very low.

Guo Rong sat on the broken swivel chair, put his feet on the table, smoked a cigarette, and said, "Nothing really happened to the transport team, right?" After waiting for a day, I didn't even see a ghost. ”

"Not necessarily, five trucks, if something really happens, even if there is an escape, the first choice will be to turn back to the base instead of coming here." Zhang Zhao retreated, found a clean land, sat down against the wall, and said: "Now I can only pray, they are delayed because of other things, otherwise, there is no way to get back so much military rations." ”

"Shall we continue to guard, or shall we send someone back to see." Langchen closed his eyes and did not fall asleep.

"It's also risky to send someone back, so wait." Zhang Zhaodao.

"Yes, anyway, there is so much food here, and I won't be hungry for a while, hehe, wait a few more days, we don't have to rush." Guo Rong looked at the corner of the room, piled up four or five boxes of military rations, and was full of confidence.

Park Anna snuggled in Li Zhizhi's arms and was half asleep, hearing Guo Rong's laughter, she seemed to be disturbed to her sweet dream, frowned, and then rubbed comfortably. Li Zhizhi has been sitting without speaking, she knows very well when a woman should speak. This small team, no matter what the strength of everyone is, at present, is still led by Zhang Zhao.

The wind outside the window was blowing stronger, and there was the sound of footsteps on the stairs, although it was very light, but Langchen still opened his eyes. Someone knocked on the door, Zhang Zhao went over and opened the door, it was the landlord who was wrapped in a collar and had a cold nose.

"Team Zhang, Team Guo, this weather is very weird, why is it so cold all of a sudden." Fang Dong said a little tremblingly, after saying this, the cold wind poured into his mouth, and he suddenly felt thirsty in his mouth.

The drizzle turned into raindrops, lapping around the containers and crackling. Fang Dong felt that something was wrong, stretched out his hand, then withdrew it, and said in surprise: "I'll go, it's snowing and sanding." ”

In previous years, the snow in the south also has to go into winter, the period before and after the Spring Festival. This year, however, it snowed and sand in the late autumn season, and it couldn't stop for a while.

Zhang Zhao was a little worried in his heart, in the past few months of the outbreak of the zombie virus, supplies were extremely scarce, and if he found this batch of military rations, he would not have to worry about food in the next two or three years. But this just started to transport back a car, and the second transport team did not arrive at the planned time, could it be that something happened?

Everyone knows how important food is to those who survive. Elsewhere, people might meet each other for a bottle of water or a bread knife, and if it weren't for Han Weijun, the resort base would probably face such a crisis. And now, what could be more important than this batch of supplies?

The communication network was completely paralyzed, and it was impossible to get in touch with the base in time. If you go back hastily, although it is only a short distance, you can't act rashly. Zhang Zhao couldn't think of a better way, so in desperation, he could only decide to go back to the base early tomorrow morning, leaving Fang Dong and them to guard the supplies. By the way, Li Zhizhi and Park Anna were sent back, in Zhang Zhao's opinion, it was not much use for the two of them to stay here, but there were many inconveniences.

The snow and sand crackled outside the house for a long time, and it slowed down suddenly, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

Zhang Zhao was in a daze when he heard someone shouting loudly, and when he opened his eyes, there was already a knock on the door. He staggered to his feet and went to open the door, and the snow-white in front of him made him sober up at once. Xu Haihai gasped, forming a white mist, and his face was red from the cold.

"It's snowing?" There was still goose feather snow in the sky, and the containers, the ground, and the cars outside the small building were covered with a thick layer of snow.

When the others heard that it was snowing, they got up and poked their heads out to see the new snow that had piled up that night. God had no mercy of snow last night, shrouding the entire Harbour City in a vast white expanse of ice and snow.

Fang Dong and the others, who were awakened by freezing in their sleep, got up ten minutes early, and were downstairs at this time, looking at the snow, discussing something. Zhang Zhao also went downstairs, and a drop of ice water fell and hit him in the face, which was extremely cold.

"Team Zhang." Seeing Zhang Zhao coming down, several people greeted each other, and from their faces, they saw a little worry.

The snow on the ground was knee-deep, something that had not been seen in the South for decades. Although it snows for a few days almost every year, it basically only snows for two or three days, and in some places it melts before it has time to form. It is knee-high like this, at least Zhang Zhao has not seen it in more than 20 years.

"This ghost weather, it fell so thick overnight, it can't be because of the zombie virus, right?" Guo Rong took a breath, and a cloud of mist erupted from his mouth.

"The zombie virus has nothing to do with the temperature change, we don't study the weather, and we don't understand it, but this snow is really weird." Zhang Zhao took a handful of snow and put it in his hand, and after a few seconds, he felt bitterly cold. In his memory, when it snows every year, it is only so cold before and after, and the temperature in the days when it snows is not too cold.

When they set off, they also thought that they needed quilts for the night, so they brought some quilts from the hotel. But in a place like a hotel, there is air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter, and the quilt used is not too thick, if it is this kind of weather, it will not play much role at all.

"It looks like I can't go back today." Zhang Zhao frowned.

"What can I do? The snow on the road should be similar to here, and it is not safe to drive. "Said apprehensively to the south.

"It's a fart, I see, we can't go back, and the transport team can't come, so it's imperative to find something to keep warm, lest I freeze to death tonight." Guo Rong tightened his collar.

"Yes, Team Zhang, this ghost weather, I don't know how long the snow will fall, since we won't be able to walk for a while, let's still think of a way, how to get through." Deeply affected by the cold wind last night, Han Weijun's quilt, thin like a summer air conditioner quilt, woke up several times in the middle of the night. If you have to rely on this thin quilt to survive in the future, within three days, you will freeze to death.

The snow was so heavy that it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a blizzard, and the visibility was barely 10 meters, and only a vague shadow could be seen. Zhang Zhao, who had never encountered heavy snow, felt creepy, in his imagination, the appearance of this kind of blizzard would be accompanied by a strange coming.

Of course, there will be no demons in this world, but there will be zombies walking all over the world. Everyone's warm clothes are also very simple, and although many people wear thick coats and cotton clothes on the outside, they still wear short sleeves and shirts inside. The zombie virus outbreak is in the summer, and most of the clothes sold in those shopping malls are summer clothes. At present, many of the thick coats worn by everyone are still work clothes found in hotels and the clothes of the employees themselves.

However, this year's weather is very cold, and these clothes can't withstand it at all, and when the wind blows, it can always penetrate it.

Li Zhizhi and Park Anna are even more pitiful, they were originally sneaking into the truck and did not have much to prepare. Who would have thought that a month ago he was wearing short-sleeved shorts, and now he coldly doubted that he was staying in Antarctica. The coats of the two are still the kind of small cotton clothes with a waist, which are particularly thin. Just now, I came out with everyone, and I didn't stay for a few minutes, shivering from the cold, so I hid back in the house.

It is estimated that this will not work, whether the convoy can come or not, these are beyond my control. Now that we are facing a new predicament, we must first find a way to solve the problem at hand.

Fortunately, there are a lot of self-heating military rations, and at least three meals a day can be eaten with a warm temperature. After breakfast, Zhang Zhao brought his equipment and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going? Let's go together. Seeing this, Li Zhizhi was in a hurry to get his weapon.

"You two should stay here, Langchen and Song Dabao won't leave." Zhang Zhao was afraid that the two of them would be entangled again, so he said, "Let's go out to find something to keep out the cold, so don't come with us." ”

Li Zhizhi learned a little about Zhang Zhao's temper from Li Yan, and since he would deliberately explain, it meant that he didn't want to explain it a second time. If he wants to continue to get to the bottom of it, he will also follow, it is estimated that Zhang Zhao will start a fire and no longer care about her.

Zhang Zhao beckoned Guo Rong, as well as Han Weijun, Xu Haihai and Ma Donglai to go downstairs. Facing the world of goose feathers and snow and mist, Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Old Han, you said that there is a shopping mall nearby, so there won't be any mistakes this time, right?" ”

"How can it be, Team Zhang, this ...... The first few times were irresistible to manpower. Han Weijun smiled embarrassedly: "There is also a commercial street here, I used to go there often, it is not a problem to find some clothes or something, this time it is absolutely not wrong." After saying that, he patted his chest and reassured.

"Old Han, let me tell you, from here to the commercial street you mentioned, it is three or five kilometers to say the least, right?" Guo Rong took a snort and said, "It's very painful to step on half-human-high snow, so don't let down the expectations of your brothers." ”

Han Weijun was told this, but he didn't dare to deal with it casually, he looked at the few people around him who were staring at him, so he had to laugh a few times, and didn't dare to speak.

"Let's go, we'll have to get back before dark." After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he stepped into the snow. When your feet fall into the snow, you immediately sink into it, and it is not so easy to lift your feet again. However, even if you can't walk steadily, you will fall in the soft snow.

The blizzard was falling, visibility was low, and in order to prevent it from getting separated, a rope was worn in a belt around each person's waist.
