Chapter 39: The Living
"Mom, zombies! Zombies! Lu Yang ran wildly from the entrance of the village, carrying a few fish skewered with grass in his hands, and shouted wildly.
"What's going on?" As soon as they heard that there were zombies, everyone pulled out their weapons, Guo Rong reacted the fastest, and prepared to pick up Lu Yang with his war knife.
Only Lu Yang was running alone on the road, but Wang Wu who was with him was nowhere to be seen, could it be that he was in danger and had an accident? However, after thinking about it carefully, although Lu Yang has made some outrageous moves in the market, judging from his experience in the past few days, even if he encounters a group of corpses, he will not yell like now.
At this time, there must be something strange, Zhang Zhao frowned, and hurriedly greeted Lu Yang and asked, "What are you shouting?" What the hell is going on? What about Wang Wu? ”
Three questions in a row, so that the panting Lu Yang couldn't answer for a while, he pointed to the direction of the village entrance behind him, and said after a while: "A lot of zombie corpses were found by the river, and they were buried." ”
Sure enough, there are still many survivors in this village, otherwise no one would have buried the corpses of zombies. It turned out that when Lu Yang and Wang Wu went to the river to fish, Wang Wu jumped into the water, dared to take the fish to the shore, and found half a fishing net from nowhere. Seeing that the harvest was not small, Lu Yang danced for a while, and accidentally fell into a small ditch on the bank of the river.
The ditch was dug by hand, and the soil was somewhat loose under the impact of the river. Lu Yang's fall made a pit out of the weeds that were originally covered on it, and then the zombie corpses buried in the small ditch were exposed. It's not terrible to encounter zombies, it's terrible to see someone bury zombies by the river, this kind of behavior is really disgusting.
Lu Yang got up from the pile of zombies, his body was covered with dense slime, dirty and smelly, and he almost vomited on the spot. If you think about it carefully, when you first enter the village, you will see blood stains on the road and disappearing zombie corpses, and the whole thing is complete.
This village has been invaded by zombies, and there are still living people, which Zhang Zhao knew from the very beginning when he arrived in this village. It's just that I didn't expect that the people in this village did not incinerate the zombie corpses, but buried them by the river. Just as they were about to go to the burial site with Lu Yang to have a look, there was a sound of metal falling to the ground in the house they were in.
This crisp sound was heard by everyone present, and they immediately entered a vigilant posture. Guo Rong pulled out his sword, knocked on the door, and shouted: "The people inside will come out for me, otherwise we will break the door and go in!" ”
There must be someone in here, who just heard Zhang Zhao's conversation and accidentally knocked over something. Seeing that no one responded, Guo Rong shouted again, and after a long time, the door creaked and opened a crack.
The people outside the door are on guard, but what about the people in the house? After the door opened a crack, a small hand stretched out from inside, and then the door opened, and a child of eleven or twelve years old stood there, looking at everyone with a look of horror.
"How is it a child?" Guo Rong looked suspicious, and then asked the child, "Why are you alone?" What about your family? ”
The child looked yellow and thin, and was malnourished, and Guo Rong asked so much that he actually held his mouth, "They are all dead, they are all dead." ”
Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong carefully inspected the house, and found no other living people except for the child, so they were relieved. There was no food in this house, Zhang Zhao asked Lu Yang to take some food for the child, and when he saw him snatching it, and then gobbling it up, he asked, "What's your name?" What about the people of your village? Where did they go? ”
The child licked his fingers until he had eaten everything in his hand, he had not eaten for several days, and he had completely let down his guard against strangers who gave him food. "My name is Wu Chengcheng, and most of the people in the village have run away, and some people are hiding at home."
This village is far away from the city, and I don't know why it was attacked by zombies in such a short time. It stands to reason that the causative agent of the zombie virus is those who have been injected with red ant medicine, and this medicine is expensive, and it is impossible for anyone in such a small village to have been injected. The only explanation is that the virus brought by outsiders, or rather, there are zombies that have infiltrated the village after the outbreak of the virus.
Zhang Zhao asked carefully, and it turned out that it was really a virus brought by outsiders. Within a few days of the virus outbreak, the provincial roads outside the village became extremely lively, with motorcades often passing by. People in the village don't know what's going on in the outside world, there are no programs on TV, and there is no signal on mobile phones, which has little impact on the lives of people in the countryside. Until one day, a group of outsiders came, and they said that they came to the village to buy some food, and then rest for the night. It is precisely because of this that the tragedy that followed.
There was a woman in the group of outsiders, her face was not very good, and she had been lying in the car and had not come down. Those who traveled with her said she was sick and needed to be treated at a major hospital in Wanghai City. At first, no one had an idea, and the car was parked on the road in the village. Until that night, the woman in the car smashed the glass like crazy, ran out somehow, and bit a few people. In the end, with everyone's efforts, she was caught.
When this happened, the people in the village stopped doing it, and the men, under the leadership of the village chief, came to ask these outsiders for an explanation. And the woman who bit the person was spitting black liquid vigorously. "What's wrong with her? It's scary. "Everybody's talking.
One of the out-of-towners was a middle-aged man who explained that the woman was mentally ill and suffered from a very rare condition. With the mediation of both parties, the middle-aged man generously paid a lot of money for the medical bills, and they left the village that night.
What happened next, everyone can roughly guess that those who were bitten by women, after being infected by the virus, became walking corpses and bit people when they saw them. The whole village was in terror, and screams were heard everywhere. That night, more than 50 people died in the village, and the next day, the road was littered with broken corpses.
Looking at the corpses that covered the entire village road, many people packed their bags and left the village where they had lived for half their lives that day. The old people thought that this was a bad omen, and if they stayed any longer, it was estimated that the whole village would be doomed. And those young people, when they saw what happened, some of them said, is it Resident Evil.
Since there was no internet and no contact with the outside world, some of them rode their motorcycles to the town to call the police, and then these people never returned. In the following time, there were more vehicles driving on the provincial road outside the village, and someone went to ask many passers-by to find out what was going on.
Resident Evil! The same thing is happening throughout the region. The village chief gathered the rest of the people, and after discussion, decided to move the village back to the mountains where they had lived decades ago. And those who are not willing to leave, stay here.
"What a brute, to hide such a serious matter, this is to kill the people of this village." Guo Rong listened to Wu Chengcheng's statement, clenched his fists angrily and said, "That woman was obviously bitten by a zombie." ”
In that case, most people will lose control of their emotions, not to mention that they can hide the truth that the woman was bitten by zombies, at least tell the people in the village what happened outside. Instead of doing so, the group chose to conceal and deceive, and as a result, they harmed an entire village.
After Wu Chengcheng finished speaking, he cried out loud, and everyone thought of comfort. At this moment, some of the doors that had been closed were opened, and out of it came about twenty people, each holding a hoe, a firewood knife and something like that, and glaring at the group of outsiders.
Wu Chengcheng cried, everyone regarded them as villains who bullied children, after what happened before, the people in this village had an inexplicable hostility towards outsiders. A slightly chubby middle-aged woman in the crowd glanced at Zhang Zhao viciously, pulled Wu Chengcheng out, and when she passed by Guo Rong's side, she also spat on the ground.
Seeing that these outsiders were all carrying guns and sharp machetes in their hands, the villagers did not dare to attack or clash head-on. It's just that everyone viciously pays attention to every outsider.
An old man in his fifties who took the lead in the crowd looked Zhang Zhao up and down, and said coldly: "Who are you?" What are you doing in our village? ”
The people in the village did not have a good impression of them, and after the last painful lesson, every stranger who came to the village naturally became an enemy. If it weren't for Zhang Zhao and the others carrying guns, it is estimated that the people in the village would have done it a long time ago. Since they entered the village, these survivors have been paying attention to their every move.
For Zhang Zhao, things didn't get to the point of a big fight, they just passed by, replenished resources, and then left immediately the next day. If there is a conflict, there will inevitably be some damage. They don't want to get hurt, and they can't bear to do it. Because everyone here is just a simple ordinary person.
After thinking about it, Zhang Zhao decided that it was better to get straight to the point, he pulled his throat and said, "We are passers-by, and there is no malice." We're just passing by, wanting to replenish some resources with you, and then leave tomorrow morning. ”
The old man looked at Zhang Zhao intently, and his tone was still so cold: "Passers-by, you'd better leave today, we don't welcome you here." ”
Obviously, they don't eat hard and soft, because they have been deceived and hurt, and now the people in the village can hardly trust outsiders, if they are to leave now and brave the darkness to hurry, this is undoubtedly to send them to death. Zhang Zhao frowned and said, "It's okay for us to leave, but if we leave like this, you may not survive tomorrow." ”
"Damn, what are you talking about? Is this cursing us? ”
"Kill them, kill them."
"Fuck them off, you wretched."
Some people heckled and pushed the relationship to a more tense side. Such outsiders are so vicious that they curse them that they will not live until tomorrow, as long as the village chief gives an order, they will definitely do everything to make these outsiders suffer a little.
Zhang Zhao was also angry, this group of people couldn't allow him to discuss at all, he looked around, and said coldly: "You don't believe me when I say it?" I tell you, the situation out there is 10,000 times worse than what you have experienced. How many people died in your village? I tell you, more than a million people died in H City, and at least a few million people became that monster. ”
"What? A million in H City? Millions of those monsters! ”
"What else do I want to hope for this to be dealt with? Come and do us justice."
"People who have passed by before have not said it so seriously."
"What you say, it's all true?" The old man in the lead looked confused for a while.
These people, after the outbreak of the zombie virus, have they been kept in the dark? I don't know what kind of information they heard, what they learned.
Zhang Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's true, not only H City, but the whole country, the whole world is like this, do you remember the hot red ant advertisement on TV before?" ”
At the beginning, Red Ant invested a lot of money in advertising all over the world half a year before it went public, although it is a rural area, but every household has a TV set, Red Ant's advertisement, almost more than a dozen radio stations are playing.
"You can't imagine the seriousness of the matter, because ......"
