It was a moonless night, and it was dark except for the fire lit in the courtyard. Flashlight sources have also become precious, because most areas are now paralyzed by electricity, and batteries are difficult to find, so if you can save money, you should save them.

The flashlight is almost a handful, and only occasionally turns on when there is any abnormality during the vigil. Lao Wang sat by the fire, just drank some old wine found in the kitchen, and was a little confused. This kind of wine has a lot of stamina, and despite drinking it for decades, it is still a little unbearable. He looked at the watch on his wrist, where the hands had just skipped twelve. The whispering in the house stopped as it approached late night.

Lu Yang was mixed with their father and son all the way, and at this moment, he was also holding a rifle and leaning against the wall and falling asleep. Tonight there were six people on the vigil, two in the courtyard, and four in the upstairs rooms, or on the balconies, quietly observing the movement outside the house. If there is any movement outside the house, someone will be the first to convey the information. It's just that there is no moonlight tonight, and the view is blocked, and occasionally someone turns on the flashlight and sweeps it out of the house.

Lao Wang should be the oldest in the team, everyone has seen his amazing marksmanship, and he is not usually arranged to do some tiring work. He was not arranged in the vigil, but tonight his heart was inexplicably anxious. It seems to be a feeling that only had when the Vietnam War was fought. At that time, their troops stayed in the mountains even more remote than here for many years, and hid at night. The enemy's trenches are not far away, and sometimes, it is convenient for some soldiers to get up in the middle of the night, and they may also be killed by the enemy on the opposite side.

This is a quiet mountainous area, and the scene at this moment should be the most normal. But Lao Wang always felt that something was wrong. His bedroom, which is arranged in the dining room on the left side of the first floor, will have a room for eating in the country house. Move the table out of the way and spread something relatively soft on the floor for a night. Wang Qiang also couldn't hold on and went to sleep after eleven o'clock, this guy who is usually taciturn but has excellent combat power is also a person with a wide heart.

There was no moonlight tonight, not even the mountain wind.

Donna held a gun in her arms and leaned against a nest that Zhang Zhao had built for her. The owner of this family may have a daughter who is not married, and there are still seven or eight new quilts in the house, Zhang Zhao took two, one for Li Zhizhi and Park Anna, and the other for Donna. Since meeting Donna, she has been able to survive several risks along the way, and she has a lot of credit. Although this woman who is more tenacious than a man never needs special care, Zhang Zhao still treats her more as a woman in his heart. If it weren't for his limited abilities, there were still many ways to rely on her, and he was unwilling to let Donna charge.

Their group of people was divided into two places, downstairs were Wang's father and son, Lu Yang and Wang Ying, and the second floor was also the room on the left, where there were a few of them. Except for Guo Rong, almost all of the people in the room are women, Zhang Zhao's heart is ape, tossing and turning, but he can't sleep. The others were so tired that they fell asleep not long after lying down. And he seemed to be very anxious, turning over from time to time, or sitting up and smoking a cigarette.

This time, when he sat up to smoke, he suddenly felt the light of a flashlight flickering outside the window. This is a signal, which means that there is an abnormal movement. If it was just the people of the night watchman who were carrying messages and not shouting loudly, it would be nothing. Usually during the vigil, something strange happens, even if there are zombies roaming around, it is not strange.

The flashlight flickered for a while, and someone downstairs approached the iron door to check. The iron door of this house is not tight, just an iron door, and the gap in the door is relatively large. The countryside is not like the city, even if you usually go out for a while and the door of the house is wide open, there will be no theft.

Of course, the person who went to check it out wouldn't open the door. All he needed to do was use a flashlight and look through the crack in the door to see what was going on outside. The pavement at the entrance was obscured by lush foliage, and the people who were keeping vigil upstairs couldn't see it clearly. The people who kept vigil downstairs were survivors who had escaped from the town of Five Rivers, and one of them was named Ma Tong. Ma Tong was about thirty-five years old, and he was originally traveling to Wuhe Town with his wife, but unfortunately encountered a zombie virus, and his wife died under the first wave of zombie attacks. Since then, he has become reticent and, according to himself, has a six-year-old son at his mother-in-law's house. He wanted a chance to find his son.

Ma Tong has a Chinese face, single eyelids, and the beard on his face is cleanly shaved. He took the flashlight and approached the iron door, and when the flashlight was about to be lifted, suddenly there was a loud bang from the iron door. With a snap, the entire iron door trembled, and Ma Tong's face changed, almost frightened to death by the sudden knocking sound. Before he could react, Lao Wang, who was about to go to sleep, rushed over as soon as possible: "What's wrong!" ”

Ma Tong's face turned pale with fright, and he was also stunned: "No, I don't know, I didn't touch it, something was knocking on the door outside." "People who are not asleep come out of the room one after another, some complaining, some dissatisfied. Everyone was gossiping, and the originally quiet night became lively.

This loud bang must have been caused by something knocking on the iron door outside. Ma Tong doesn't look like a prankster, and judging from his reaction, he was really scared.

"Everyone, go back to your room and stay outside!" Wang Ying came out and said to them. Only then did the people mumble back to their rooms, and the rest of them were like enemies, nervously shining their flashlights on the iron door.

But this sound, as if it were a real prank, did not sound a second time for the next ten minutes. Everyone held their breath and stared at the iron door, and after a few more minutes, seeing that there was no movement, everyone guessed that they were relieved.

"Maybe a zombie passed by, knocked on the door, and now left?" Ma Tongxin had palpitations, and he didn't know whether he was comforting himself or everyone. His statement is not unreasonable, he has often encountered this situation before, and the zombies passing by unconsciously knocked on the door, and then swayed away.

If so, then it's best, it's scary to be quiet outside, and it doesn't look like there's a horde of corpses passing by. The lone zombie is not to be afraid, Wang Ying waved his hand: "It's nothing, let's go back and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

In the middle of the night, because of a loud noise, almost everyone woke up, and on the way to escape in the apocalypse, it was actually difficult to sleep peacefully. Just as everyone was about to leave, Ma Tong followed the flashlight light in Lao Wang's hand, and seemed to see something terrifying, his eyes and mouth opened wider and wider. Lao Wang's heart is as careful as a needle, even if others say it's okay, he habitually goes to see it.

"No, Xiao Wang, come and see." Lao Wang said hurriedly. In the entire team, only Lao Wang is called Wang Ying and Xiao Wang. Even the players who are older than Wang Ying will call him Team Wang.

Wang Ying approached the iron gate, everyone didn't look carefully just now, in the lower right corner of the iron gate, half a meter above the ground, there was an abrupt depression. Although Wang Ying was bold, when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but stand on end. "What is this?" Wang Ying exclaimed in a low voice.

When the sound was alarmed, in Zhang Zhao's room on the second floor, Donna had already jumped up. She walked briskly to the window, adjusted her rifle and scanned the night with her sight. She greeted Zhang Zhao, who was not asleep, and handed him the rifle: "Look at it, what's that outside the door?" ”

Zhang Zhao curiously took her assault gun, this thing can even be adjusted to heat sensing. Through the scope of the rifle, Zhang Zhao saw that outside the gate of the house, there were dense strange creatures, gathering on the road outside the house. In terms of shape, it looks like an animal on all fours.

If you meet one or two animals in the mountains, it is not strange, but strangely, in terms of numbers, there are about forty or fifty, which is not normal.

The embossed mark in the lower right corner of the iron door was the size of a basketball, and the loud noise just now was really made by something hitting the iron door. Judging from the imprint of the iron gate, the possibility of zombies is ruled out, although the strength of the zombies is not small, it is impossible to knock the iron gate like this. Even if the iron gate is not strong enough, to smash it like this, the zombie itself will have to bloom in the head.

It's not a zombie, it's something scarier than a zombie. The people in the courtyard, hearing the news, brought up their hearts that had just been put down again. Just when everyone was nervous, the iron door slammed loudly, and next to the embossed mark, there was another new mark.

"Quick, move everything that can be moved here and block it." Zhang Zhao ran down from upstairs.

Outside the house, through a tin door, what a dangerous creature existed. So much so that even Zhang Zhao was so anxious, even when he was in H City, facing a million zombie army, he had never seen him so nervous.

Lao Wang frowned: "What do you see outside?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, there's a herd of mutated pigs out there." Zhang Zhao remembered that in the evening, when he passed by the pigpen, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. Now that he thinks about it, he is even more sure that the pigs in the pig pen were not killed by the owner's family, but after mutating themselves, they gnawed on the pig pen and escaped.

"Pigs? Where did the pigs come from. Although Ma Tong felt that things were too strange, someone over there had already gone to various rooms to wake everyone up to help. After everyone understood that they were now facing extreme danger, no one complained anymore, and piled up all the tables and chairs that could be moved to the iron door. The scary creatures outside seemed to be stimulated by the people in the room. From the original impact every few minutes, to the current impact several times a minute, the marks on the iron door have gradually increased. Thanks to the lack of intelligence of the mutant pigs, otherwise they would have hit the wall from all sides, and these walls made of red bricks might not be able to withstand the impact.

The mutant pig crackled against the iron door, and the strange sound outside the wall became louder and louder, like dull bull's eyes. Just in case, Wang Ying told both the women and the children to go upstairs, leaving only the heavily armed men downstairs. Everyone has never faced the mutant pig, and they don't know how strong it will be, one by one, with knives and steel pipes in their hands, staring intently at the iron door that was hit like an art wall.

Flutter!

The first opening was finally made in the iron door, and the pair of strange spikes with thick arms pierced the iron door through two holes. Lao Wang fired the first shot, which passed through the middle of the two large holes. The sound of bullets penetrating the flesh could be heard clearly, and there was no terrible scream.

"This sucks!" Zhang Zhao opened his mouth and screamed sadly. The pair of giant spikes slowly pulled out of the large hole with a piercing sound.
