Chapter 244: A Strange Visit
In the wee hours of the morning, a strong wind suddenly blew. Not long after, a gentle rain came.
At several outposts in the accommodation area of the Yushan base, rain curtains made of plastic paper were put down, barely enough to cover the wind and rain. In this dark and rainy night, it is really a bit eerie to look at the dim lights of the outposts elsewhere.
Lu Yang and Wang Wu were arranged to be on duty together tonight, but this big man Wang Wu was drowsy after twelve o'clock, and at this time he was already nested in a corner, sleeping with his arms in his arms. The sound of crackling rain outside the outpost was soon covered by Wang Wu's snoring. Lu Yang sat on a small stool and turned on the flashlight from time to time to shine around.
Usually, people on night duty rarely move around, and if they want convenience, they also find a place around the improvised post to solve it on the spot. But tonight, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and Lu Yang is urinating heavily, and he doesn't want to leave the only dry place. Originally, according to the rules, Wang Wu would be on duty in the second half of the night after twelve o'clock, but Lu Yang tried to call him a few times, and Wang Wu also muttered a few words, and he ignored him. This made Lu Yang extremely depressed, he thought that he would get some care for himself on night duty with Wang Wu, but he didn't expect this guy to be even more excessive than Lang Chen and Song Muyuan.
Lu Yang is not sleepy, but he really can't sleep peacefully in this thunderous snoring. Even if he is really sleepy to death, he must find a way to keep himself awake, after all, if he can't even do this little thing, it will be too much for him to go. If a person wants to reflect the value of the team, he should give full play to his strengths, he is very young and energetic.
It was precisely because he was young that he couldn't have imagined that Wang Wu, who was usually honest and honest, would wake up and pretend to be asleep when he called himself for the second time.
Duty at night is a boring thing, and you have to hide in a small space with only a little dim light. If the weather is good, you can still walk around the accommodation area, like this kind of ghost weather, nesting in this small place, you will be inexplicably impatient.
Fortunately, it was dawning soon, and Lu Yang didn't know how long he would insist on falling asleep. When he opened his eyes, Wang Wu was already gone, and according to his guess, this guy must be hungry and went back to breakfast. Lu Yang, who was angry, saw that almost all the people in the other outposts had returned to their residences, and they also got up and patted their butts and left.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, the rain gradually subsided and turned into a drizzle, and people without rain gear had to hide in their residences. Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong climbed to the lookout platform at the main entrance of the Yushan base early, and after breakfast, the two comfortably lit a cigarette and spit out the fog.
A night rain has reduced the number of zombies wandering outside the Yushan base a lot, and there are only a few of them. Even if zombies do not eat for a long time, they can maintain their body functions and can live for a long time. But once it rains or falls into the water, the whole body will become duller than before, which is beyond the consideration of ordinary people, and there is no scientific basis at present. And from past experience, I know that only ordinary zombies will be affected by water, but it has no effect on mutant zombies.
Looking at the slowly wandering zombies and the mountains covered in smoke and rain, the two smoked cigarettes, without any words for a while, and did not know where their thoughts were flying. Guo Rong threw the cigarette butt outside the wall, and suddenly pointed to the intersection of the road in the distance and said, "There is a car coming." ”
Zhang Zhaoding saw that there was indeed a gray business car heading towards the Yushan base, and he immediately notified the guards inside the gate and asked him to inform Li Zijing and them.
When the gray business car arrived at the slope outside the Yushan base, Li Zijing had already brought a lot of people and hurried over from the accommodation area.
There was a person getting down from the gray business car, and there was no umbrella, and while Zhang Zhao was looking at him, he also noticed that someone was watching him inside the wall. This commercial vehicle drove straight from the main path to the Yushan base, without any pause or hesitation on the way, indicating that the people in this car clearly knew the location and situation of the Yushan base.
It's hard to tell whether it's friend or foe for a while, but for strangers, you should always be vigilant. This person was wearing a black sweatshirt, covered with a hat and couldn't see his face clearly, he looked at Zhang Zhao for more than ten seconds, and then beckoned and shouted: "Hello! ”
This is actually the most polite greeting Zhang Zhao has ever heard since the outbreak of the doomsday virus, and for a while he was at a loss for a few seconds in his head, and finally replied with hello inexplicably.
Listening to the voice, the person's grade was not very big, and he said, "I am the person in charge of the nearby camp, my name is Li Mao, do you have medicine here?" Anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics ......"
Not only Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong, but even the heavily armed others inside the gate were puzzled. This strange visitor came directly to the door of the Yushan base and asked if there was any medicine. As his name suggests, the guy named Li Mao is indeed very polite, and he almost added the word "please ask" in just a few words.
"If you have these medicines, can you exchange some with us? We have rice. Li Mao opened the car door, grabbed a sack from it, then took out a dagger to cut the mouth of the bag, grabbed a handful of rice and held it in his hand.
The previous material searches did bring back a lot of medicines, such as anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. Seeing the other party show rice, Zhang Zhao didn't have much sense of surprise, after all, for the end of the world, they also lived a rich life.
The fact that the other party claimed to be from a nearby survivor camp made everyone curious. For a long time, Zhang Zhao's range of activities was very limited, and the other party was able to learn about the Yushan base without them discovering it, which was a little unsettling.
"Survivor camp nearby? How did we not know? Zhang Zhao shouted.
Li Mao kicked down a zombie that was slowly approaching, and then stabbed a dagger on his head before getting up and saying, "Our camp is not big, it's at the forestry station five miles away, and we can see your fire from here." ”
As Li Mao said, if there is really such a forestry station on the mountain, there was an explosion and fire at the Yushan base on the night of the brain-eating zombie attack, and it is only two or three kilometers away, at least some clues can be seen. It's no wonder that people have already discovered the location, and the surrounding forests are dense, and it is difficult to find them by hiding in the shadows.
Li Mao knew that it was not easy for the other party to believe in himself, but saving people was like fighting a fire, and he didn't have more time to explain to the other party here. He raised his hands above his head and said loudly: "We have no ill will, I have no other weapons on me, and now the people in my camp are injured and need some medicine, if it is convenient for you, I want to change some and bring it back as soon as possible." ”
"I'm coming here alone, don't shoot!" Li Mao paused, and finally mustered up the courage to walk slowly towards the slope.
Good guy, I even figured out that there was a gun at the Yushan base. There are two other people in the gray business car, and from the time Li Mao got off the car to the present, they have always stayed in the car honestly and have not shown up.
When Li Mao was only two or three meters away from the gate, the gate opened, Xu Haihai and Hong Xiong came forward with rifles, searched him for a while, and only after confirming that there were no dangerous items, did they bring him into the door.
As soon as Li Mao entered the door, there were immediately more than a dozen rifles against his front door, he took off his hood, his face was pale and his lips were purple, and he was a little out of breath and said: "Brothers, I'm scared to death now, but I'm really too late." ”
Li Zijing was willing to let him approach the base and enter the inside of the gate, which means that he is willing to help them. Otherwise, give him a shuttle of bullets as soon as he just stopped the car, whether he is dead or alive.
"How many wounded do you have? How did it get hurt? Li Zijing asked as soon as he spoke.
"We have more than a dozen wounded, our own medicine has run out, and there are a few waiting for me to send medicine back, brother, do you have any, can you hurry up if you have one?" Li Mao cried and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, which was the note prescribed to him by the old Western doctor when he went out.
"I've never seen such a door-to-door begging, what is urging, you come over first, explain the situation to me clearly." Li Zijing took Li Mao's shoulders to the side.
Li Mao's performance didn't look like some conspiracy, and although he had to be wary, Li Zijing still wanted to get some useful information from him. After losing communication for too long, and knowing nothing about the outside world, a lot of news becomes hearsay, and then it is analyzed to distinguish the true from the false. Otherwise, a stranger suddenly came and said that he was the person in charge of such and such a camp, who would easily believe it.
Moreover, since the other party had already discovered the existence of the Yushan base, there was no unfavorable action. Either they are too busy to take care of themselves, or they are afraid of the existence of the Yushan base. It seems that there are both factors, so Li Zijing has nothing to worry about, he is now more curious about the injured person that Li Mao said.
"If you are injured by zombies, I advise you not to waste this effort." Li Zijing's voice was not loud, only the two of them could hear it.
"Brother, I know this, if I was really injured by a zombie, I would bury it directly. We were injured in a fight with others, people from the country of sticks, you know, who would have thought that people from the country of sticks would be able to meet people in this hellish place. How dare I show my face if I don't have to. Li Mao said.
"Stick Country?" Li Zijing almost screamed, and seeing that everyone was looking in their direction, he lowered his voice and continued to ask: "Are you fighting with the people of the Stick Country?" ”
"Two days ago, our team went to a nearby town, not far away, Shigang Town, to search for supplies, but we didn't expect it to be occupied. Originally, when we saw them, we also thought that the people of the country, everyone would not interfere with the river water, and there would be no conflict when they looked for their own people. Li Mao remembered the situation at that time and said indignantly: "But after the other party found out about us, they attacked frantically, and finally escaped." ”
"Are you sure you're from the Stick Country?" Li Zijing frowned, confirm again.
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, they open their mouths and close their mouths to Smecta, and I hear them talking." Li Mao said solemnly.
Li Zijing took a deep breath, which reminded him of the incident that had happened when he was at the Palm Cove Resort. He called Han Weijun and said, "You find some of the medicines on this list and bring them back to their people outside" and then said to Li Mao: "You stay here for the time being, I want to know more specific things." ”
"This ......" Li Mao hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" ”
"Don't worry, since you don't have any conflict with us, we are all Chinese, and I will guarantee that you leave safely." Li Zijing punched Li Mao in the shoulder.
