Chapter 247: Heavy Rain
It rained heavily last night, and the whole world was white.
Zhang Zhao has lived for nearly thirty years, and he has never seen such heavy rain, lightning and thunder, as if there is a great demon who has cultivated for thousands of years somewhere in the deep mountains, and he is crossing the heavenly tribulation. The heavy rain continued without showing any signs of abating.
Except for the guards who had to stand guard at the Yushan base, everyone else hid in the round villa and did not come out. Zhang Zhao was wrapped in a shabby raincoat with a layer of plastic paper wrapped in it, and his shoes were also soaked, and it was extremely uncomfortable to wrap his feet, so he simply took off and hung it on the shelf in the sentry box.
Guo Rong braved the rain to return to the round villa, took two rice balls, and hurried back. Seeing Zhang Zhao's face covered with rain blown by the wind, he looked like a wooden chicken, looked at the sky in the distance, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Huh?" The rain was so loud that he couldn't hear what the other party was saying.
"What are you looking at?" Guo Rong handed him the rice ball, and his voice raised a few points.
"This rain is very evil, it has been raining for more than ten hours, and it is still so heavy." This year's rainy season seems to have come earlier, and in previous years, there would be continuous rain and typhoons for about two periods of time a year. But not this year, the whole world is occupied by zombies, and there are so many corpses, once the rain washes them everywhere, if the weather is hot, there will always be bacterial lesions. The human body is still too fragile, and it is even more vulnerable in front of nature.
And in today's world, in addition to fighting zombie monsters and villains, there is also a variety of competition with the environment. In the world of human civilization, thousands of years of construction have been burned down because of a disaster, and there is no extra energy and conditions to confront the environment.
The rice ball is made of white rice, which is easy to eat, and there are some vegetable leaves in it, which is not fragrant but very flavorful. Even in the Yushan base, there are cooking conditions, but the easiest way is still used for diet. No one can fry a few side dishes, and many times, all the ingredients will be stewed in one pot, saving time and cost.
The rain was heavy, and the smaller trees around were beaten by the rain. The whole world is only the sound of crackling rain except thunder. The zombies wandering around the base of Yushan were also washed down to the bottom of Yushan by the rain, and they got up again and wanted to climb up, but they couldn't do it. More zombies stood up again and moved slowly in all directions.
Li Zijing led the team to patrol around the base every hour, because they were worried that some facilities would be destroyed and zombies would have a chance to take advantage of them. He saw that many zombies were stuck in the quagmire of stagnant water, and they were all submerged and did not get up again. He even watched it for a while, stunned, if only this heavy rain could kill most of the zombies in the world, it would be great.
The rain was so heavy that I couldn't see too far, and the distance around me was only white, like a veil. A little closer, the rain rebounded, and even the road surface could not be seen clearly.
In a mountain forest a few miles away from the base of Yushan, the rain is not as large as that of the open space because of the dense forest. The rain did not nourish these darlings of nature, and landslides and mudslides flooded in many places. Some of the trees with unstable foundations fell on the road.
In an unusually dense dwarf grass, Guo Kai took a telescope to observe Shigang Town, which was more than 100 meters away. They had been here for most of the day, and they had set up a small simple tent with grass on it, leaving only a gap of less than 30 centimeters.
They weren't worried that anyone would find out about it, and the camouflage of this small tent was just to keep more rain out of it. They made sufficient preparations before departure, with rubber bands covering their sleeves and warehouse pipes, and plastic paper covering some important parts. In the mountains and forests in the rainy season, insects and ants are too troublesome, and it is always uncomfortable to get into clothes.
The two of them left the base, many people knew, but they said that they were going to Li Mao's base to have a look, and even Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong did not doubt this reason, if it weren't for Guo Kai telling them in private.
Chu Fei is his comrade-in-arms, he has lived and died together, from being in the army to starting a business together after they retired from the army, both of them are the best partners. Therefore, there is an absolute tacit understanding between them, and any action is almost inseparable. It's not that he doesn't trust other people, it's just that he's used to cooperating with Chu Fei.
The Shigang Town Government Building, from time to time, people come in and out, as Li Mao said, this place has been occupied by a group of people, although their conversation cannot be heard, but it also confirms the truth of the matter. No matter who they are, they are a threat to the Yushan base.
"There are about seventy people in this building, and judging by the layout, this is their base camp, plus the people hidden in other buildings, their total number is likely to exceed one hundred and fifteen." Chu Fei's voice was not small, because he didn't have to worry about being heard at all.
Chu Fei saw the people coming in and out of the town government, and analyzed the flow of people from their clothes and walking posture. With his keen observation and memory, he knows very well which people are repeated, and which ones are the first ones.
"Between one hundred and two hundred." Guo Kai still trusts Chu Fei's ability, and this sentence is his supplement.
"Yes." Chu Fei replied briefly.
Shigang Town is not big, but it is not small, but these people live in a relatively concentrated area, and they are all around the town government. No one would go to a hotel a few hundred meters away to find a place to stay for comfort, which is very unsafe. This also shows that this organization is very disciplined, and they were all ordinary people before the outbreak of the zombie virus. Even if it is the Yushan base, Li Zijing cannot guarantee that he can manage those dozens of people in a strict way.
"Seems a little tricky." Guo Kaidao.
The town hall is behind the main road of Shigang Town, with a small green park in the middle and a low wall. At the entrance passage, there are a number of abandoned cars parked, which are covered with sharpened wooden sticks, which are used to ward off zombies. There are two zombies with no eyes breaking into here, and they have been stuck their heads on the wooden sticks and died directly, and the other has a big hole in the left chest, and they are still trying to break free.
There are a lot of vehicles parked in the government compound, neatly parked in one place, and there are also figures shaking in the cars. At the gate of the compound, as well as under the building, there are people patrolling with weapons. From time to time, someone brought back some materials from outside, some wood, wire and sandbags, and then quite a few people came to unload the trucks and arranged them directly around the base camp.
"It's raining so hard and they're still doing fortifications, it looks like they're planning to stay permanent." Guo Kai said coldly: "Damn, it's not good to go somewhere, but you just rob us of this small place." ”
"There's a car coming." Chu Fei reminded. At the other end of Shigang Town, there is a strange minibus slowly driving away, in such an atmosphere, this car looks so like a hearse, it makes people shudder.
The minibus is indeed full of death, the original color is no longer visible, instead it is gray and gray, and there are many sharp iron thorns inserted on it, and you can even see a lot of rags hanging on it. Compared with the clean vehicles of the base camp of the stick country, this minibus looks out of place.
Guo Kai clenched his fists and stared fiercely at the moving minibus, his voice was full of killing intent: "Crow Army!" What are they doing here? ”
The two gangs of doomsday groups met and did not clash, and the minibus entered the courtyard of the people of the stick country smoothly. The minibus stopped in front of the building at random, and a fat man in a flower shirt came down from the building, with a humble attitude, and kept nodding to the people who came down from the minibus.
"What the hell?" To talk about these sticks, the combat power must not be comparable to the average survivor group, and they actually grovel to the Raven Legion.
A strangely dressed member of the Raven Legion pulls a man with his hands tied behind his back from a minibus. The man was clean and only a pair of shorts, and by clean, he did not mean that his skin was clean, but on the contrary, he was painted with strange things, and his hair was shaved long and short. The man was ripped out of the car, thrown to the ground, and struggled to get up, and immediately a member of the Raven Legion grabbed what little hair he had and dragged him into the building.
"That's a whip mark!" Whoever the man was, he was miserable, with nothing but filth and cobweb-like whip marks on his body.
Even people like Guo Kai and Chu Fei couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they were shocked. How much torture this man endured, it is likely that the Raven Legion smashed all his teeth to prevent him from committing suicide.
Under the inhuman methods of the crow leader, these people gradually became beasts, not even as good as beasts. Under certain circumstances, human beings' physical torment and mental pressure will shape a perversion.
There is no shortage of such perverts in the Raven Legion. Even if they weren't at first, after a long time, they had to be.
At this moment, the rain seemed to be a little lighter, making Guo Rong and Chu Fei who were hidden in the mountains and forests have a better vision. The Raven Legion suddenly appeared, and the leader seemed to be a leader, what was the purpose of them coming to this remote place to find the sticks?
Just based on what Guo Kai saw, he couldn't see any clues, and he couldn't think of any reason, but it must not be a good thing for these two forces to get together and act in an embarrassment. Originally, this stick force alone was enough to give the Yushan base a headache, but now it is even more troublesome to infiltrate the Raven Legion, and no one knows how terrifying the development speed of a group like the Raven Legion will be in the apocalypse.
The members of the Raven Legion stayed in the government compound for nearly an hour before leaving, the other road leading to the outside of Harbour City, which Guo Kai had walked when they came.
Investigating the general layout, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Guo Kai was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Chu Fei: "Wait, someone is coming." ”
Guo Kai immediately took out his binoculars again and looked below Shigang Town, and sure enough, on the other side of the road, a person walked slowly. He was wrapped in a black raincoat and couldn't see his face clearly, but his gait was powerful. This person is different from the sticks, at least from Guo Kai's point of view, he doesn't look like a gang. From the time he appeared in Stone Harbor to the time he walked into the government building, no one stopped him, and the patrolling people seemed to ignore him as if he were air.
The reason why Chu Fei stopped Guo Kai was because he found the difference between this person, just like seeing the Crow Legion appear here, which made people feel very unreasonable.
The man remained hidden in a raincoat until he entered the building and appeared in a room on the highest floor. The man brought by the Raven Legion was also in that room, and was now kneeling, his body trembling.
The man in the raincoat and the leader of the stick spoke a few words before he lifted his hat behind his head and revealed his true face. Guo Kai and Chu Fei couldn't help but whisper when they saw his appearance.
"It's him!"
