Chapter 90: Langchen and the Village
The first rays of the morning sun, climbing up the treetops, windowsills.
After last night's battle, most of the people lost their sleepiness. When people see the mess outside the house, they are still a little afraid. On the road outside the house, the carcasses of mutated wild boars piled up like hills, and the flowers and trees that had been blackened by the fire, were covered with minced meat. Last night could have been unharmed, but those who had a heart breakdown did not choose to persevere, but chose to end their lives.
Wang Ying took a few people to dig a few pits behind the house and bury the people who died last night. Although the whole world is now the walking dead, and corpses can be seen everywhere, it is true that those who were alive and kicking around yesterday are dying like this, and everyone is uncomfortable. It's hard to survive, and no one knows what will happen in the future. The human world is slowly dying, and the last survivors are driven by the zombie army and have nowhere to stay.
Although everyone's heart is extremely heavy, the road still has to be walked. A few women went to the kitchen early to get food, and in addition to some rice, there were actually some leftovers from last night. In this hot weather, the food is easy to spoil, but fortunately, there is no problem with eating.
Everyone needed to rest, and they had planned to leave early in the morning, but in desperation, they could only delay for a few more hours. Those who participated in the battle, sitting or lying down, seized the time to replenish their strength. An unlikable person like Ma Tong will become an indispensable part of this team in the future.
Everyone is curious about who the person who finally gave the mutant boar the key blow. He appeared very suddenly, in such a desolate place, there were people riding along the mountain road, and he was either mad or lost. Obviously, he can't be insane.
Zhang Zhao held a large bowl of white rice, covered with vegetables and meat, and poured some soup. If it hadn't been for this person's timely appearance last night, I really don't know what terrible things would have happened. At that time, the mutant wild boar had already begun to attack, as long as he knocked out the big iron gate, even if he could be killed in the end, the people on his side would definitely suffer heavy losses.
The grace of saving lives, when the spring reciprocates, there is nothing to get at the moment, and can only use a bowl of hearty white rice to express gratitude.
"Eat with confidence, the rice is enough." Zhang Zhao had a far-fetched smile on his face in order to show his friendliness. In fact, he really couldn't laugh in his heart. It takes a long time for a survivor to complete the transformation of a survivor. For some people, it may take a month, or three months. Relatively speaking, the person who chose to end his life like this last night may not be able to accept it for the rest of his life, and the collapse of the real world.
He has always thought that human beings will always become stronger in the face of extremely difficult difficulties. But he didn't understand that he was stronger because of this, only himself, and those who chose to fight and survive.
The man had already taken off his ill-fitting trench coat, scratched his long hair, took the bowl, and gulped down the rice. He was so hungry that he ate to the end, and he ate the rice grains in the bowl.
"Actually, I'm not hungry, I just haven't eaten rice for too long." He said: "My name is Lang Chen, Sunny Lang, Star Chen. ”
"I'm Zhang Zhao, he's Guo Rong, Lu Yang, Lao Wang, Wang Wu......" Zhang Zhao introduced everyone in the room to him. In the apocalyptic world, some things are better than simple. Last night, Langchen's dashing blow must have been a decision made without hesitation, and with such a person, Zhang Zhao felt that there was no threat.
"Brother, you were too awesome last night!" Guo Rong stretched out his hand, which was a compliment.
Langchen just nodded, and then shook his hand as well. He is also reluctant to say too much about his origins. It can only be heard by his accent that he is from the north. The zombie virus broke out in his hometown, and the situation was very serious, and according to him, he was the only one who survived in the town where he lived.
"The camp in the East China Sea Islands you are talking about, isn't it far from here?" In the process of talking, Zhang Zhaoyou mentioned to him the destination where his team was going.
"Yes, it's not far, there should be two or three days to go, but we're all lost now." Zhang Zhao said helplessly. was forced by the corpses to run into the mountains, and after a big circle, in the end, they couldn't tell the southeast and northwest. If the network can still be used, maybe you can use your mobile phone to navigate, but in this situation, let alone whether the mobile phone can be used, even if it is a compass or something, there is nowhere to find it.
Guo Rong is an admirer of strength, and Langchen exudes the aura of a strong man, which makes him feel close. "Brother, why don't you come with us, it's not easy to be alone outside."
Langchen was silent for a while, is it not good to be alone outside? In the end, he decided to go to the camp in the East China Sea Islands with Zhang Zhao to have a look.
Zhang Zhao stood on the mountain road outside the house, using a telescope to observe the village below. He was guessing that if there were survivors nearby, he would definitely find out about the big movement last night. I just don't know if there were any survivors, whether they would choose to go here or avoid it.
"Where did that guy come from?" Wang Ying didn't come back until he finished his business, he wasn't there just now, so he didn't know about Langchen's situation.
For Wang Ying, he has become a trustworthy person for Zhang Zhao, "His name is Langchen, probably a northerner, there was an outbreak of zombie virus in his hometown, the whole town died, and he was the only one who escaped." He didn't seem to know about the camp in the East China Sea Islands, and he was looking for shelter everywhere, and it seemed that he was alone all the way. Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, I don't think there is any problem, but the skills should be good. "Just kidding, to be able to throw a galloping Harley buffalo on a mutant boar with unmistakable accuracy is a joke. I didn't see the specifics yesterday, but I almost imagined it if I made up the Hollywood action blockbuster.
Wang Ying patted Zhang Zhao on the shoulder, indicating his understanding. In the apocalypse, you can't trust a person because of a feeling, although Langchen helped them last night, but still have to pay a little attention.
At half past ten in the morning, everyone was ready to go. Take advantage of the conditions, knead the leftover rice into rice balls, this kind of weather can not be stored for a long time, and it is no problem to eat two meals. Now everyone has lost their sense of direction, so they decided to visit the village at the bottom of the mountain, and only by walking on the main road can they find their way out again.
The house is not far down the mountain, and the downhill road is relatively easy. Everyone didn't speak along the way, until they stepped on the cement road of the village, Wang Ying said: "Everyone wait here first, let's go into the village to have a look, if there is no problem, everyone will come in again." ”
No matter where you arrive, just like marching and fighting in ancient times, you can't rush forward. So there is a group of people in the team who are responsible for exploring the way. There can be danger in any place, especially in the place where there are complexes, and zombies are very good at hiding in addition to wandering aimlessly.
For a long time, the people in charge of the pathfinding mission were Wang Ying, Zhang Zhao, Guo Rong, Lu Yang, and two other survivors from Wuhe Town. As a reliable scout, in addition to having rich experience in the apocalypse, you also need to be alert, have the ability to respond to crises, and most importantly, run fast and have a loud voice. There are also a group of people who are responsible for the team's security work, such as Wang Wu, Lao Wang, and Donna, who have excellent lethality.
After observing a few times, a large number of corpses were not found in this village, perhaps because the population of the village was not large in the first place, or most of the people had turned into zombies and wandered to other places. Zhang Zhao explained a few words to Donna, and originally wanted to call Langchen, so he took this opportunity to test him. Unexpectedly, after the team stopped, this guy found a shade tree on the side of the road and dozed off there. It seems that they have only known each other for a long time, and this guy gives the impression that he is dozing off. Zhang Zhao didn't want to wake him up again, after all, they didn't belong to their companions, and the other party was only with them temporarily.
The main road in the village has two Y-shapes, one that extends into the distance and appears to be connected to the outside world, and the other that runs down a small slope. Six people, three people in a group, Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong, and Lu Yang, can be regarded as a golden combination of pathfinding. A person is calm and calm, and even if he encounters a major event, he can remain in a disorderly position. One is bold and careful, and responsive. A whimsical idea can often have some inexplicable ideas, intuitions that are more reliable than radar, and prophecies that are more effective than a crow's mouth.
Wang Ying and the other two pathfinders went in the direction of the main road, and in addition to observing whether there was any danger, they also needed to be responsible for finding vehicles and maps. As for Zhang Zhao's group, in addition to the above tasks, the most important thing is to find out if there are survivors in this village.
Approaching noon, the weather was getting hotter, and Zhang Zhao and the three of them swaggered on the cement road in the village. Facing the swaying zombies, when they saw a living creature coming, they excitedly dragged their slow bodies and pounced, but fortunately, several people had become accustomed to nature and were able to deal with it easily. Even Lu Yang, carrying the Nepalese saber that Zhang Zhao gave him at the beginning, can easily behead the zombies.
If anyone were to observe them now, they would have noticed that the behavior of these three people at times was really like a wild cat rummaging through the garbage cans on the side of the road. Almost all the houses along the road in the village were rummaged through. More than an hour passed, carrying large bags and small bags, happy.
This village is not large, and the population is not large, and after killing twenty zombies, the road they explored is basically empty. Except for some food and commonly used resources, nothing useful was found. This is also expected, after the outbreak of the zombie virus, so the first thing people think of is to escape from a safe place and then look for food. The only small shops in the village have been looted, and not even a single biscuit has been left.
When the three of them returned to the outside of the village, Wang Ying and the others had not yet returned, and Langchen was still leisurely leaning against the big tree and dozing off, without even changing his posture. After all, the countryside and the city cannot be compared, and the chances of finding something useful are very small. Until, from the far side of the village road, there was an exciting sound of car horns.
