Chapter 81: Accidents
Inside the camp, most of the tents were made into cloaks, and the open space was now much more empty. Everyone gathered here, some sat together in groups of three or five, and some lay down in the shade to rest. Judging from the distribution of corpses outside the camp, the north side is the most suitable for everyone to break through, and the corpse tide on that side has dispersed a lot, even if there are still a terrifying number of zombies wandering, most of them are groups of one or two hundred. And the waves of corpses are about some distance, and everyone can escape through the gaps in them when the time comes.
The only thing missing now is an opportunity, even if it is the weakest moment for zombies, but Zhang Zhao and they want to wait for a more suitable opportunity. After all, the team is not full of young guys, and if something happens, the team of dozens of people is not so easy to get out.
Guo Rong found a Zou Baba cigarette out of nowhere, it was already a little damp, he roasted it with a lighter, and then lit it and took a deep breath. The dry smell made him uncomfortable, and the weather was too hot to get the slightest energy up. Zhang Zhao handed him half a bottle of mineral water, he took it, and handed him the cigarette by the way.
Liu Jie's vitality is surprisingly tenacious, he has been tied to the pillar for so long, and he has not entered a drop of water, but he is still alive. He half-opened his eyes as he watched the three of them leisurely pass the black cigarette around, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't even say half a word. For Zhang Zhao, Liu Jie is already a dead man, he wants to kill him, but he doesn't want him to die so comfortably. Liu Jie will die, but before he dies, Zhang Zhao wants him to taste the most painful things in others.
Wang Ying climbed onto the shelf, looked out for a while, and then came down and said, "Everyone is ready to prepare, ready to go, remember what I said." He scanned the crowd solemnly, and if he dragged the whole group back because of a person, he would not hesitate to act.
It's finally time to go, although since the outbreak of the zombie virus, we have lived in crisis every day, but this time, it is really a matter of life and death. If nothing goes wrong, there's a good chance that everyone will leave unharmed. But once there is a little mistake, it is very likely to bury a whole group of people.
Zhang Zhao tightened the button of his backpack, then pulled out the Tang knife and hid it under the cloak. To be exact, the number of people in the team is forty-eight. Defined as having combat effectiveness, it is barely counted as thirty-two people, so during the march after departure, twelve people are in groups. There are two people with combat effectiveness in the front and back, and there are two people with combat effectiveness on the left and right, protecting the four members in the middle who have no combat effectiveness. According to such a position, as long as they are not impacted by the corpses, basically the four people in the middle, as long as they do not run out of the protective circle, there will generally be no major problems.
In Zhang Zhao's group, it was he and Guo Rong who opened the way, then Wang and his son on the left, Lu Yang and Tang Na on the right, and Wang Ying and Chen Hua who had not yet recovered from their injuries. Chen Hua was seriously injured in the leg by Huang Zi at that time, and he is still unable to walk on the ground. Originally, he didn't want to drag everyone down, but Wang Ying said that he would take him with him. A cart was found from the camp and pushed by Wang Ying, as long as the movement slowed down, it was estimated that it would not attract much attention from the zombies.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhao stopped in front of Liu Jie and just said, "As a person, do you understand what is the most terrifying thing now?" Liu Jie didn't know where he got the strength, and struggled a few times, but his mouth was blocked, and he couldn't say anything if he wanted to. When Zhang Zhao and the others walked away, there was the silence in the camp on one side, and the roar of zombies outside the camp on the other, as if these two senses were mixed like this, constantly surrounding him.
No one heard his whining wails anymore. The most terrible thing, for Liu Jie, is that he knows that he is going to die, but he can only wait for death, and then, life is sometimes so tenacious.
The team of twelve, lined up in a long line, moved slowly almost step by step. This clearing is not too vast, but it is relatively rare for a province that is almost entirely mountainous. The team moved for ten minutes, almost only walking more than a hundred meters, but fortunately, no zombies saw anything unusual. The whole team deliberately avoided the corpses, although a few zombies occasionally broke into their camp, and they were all cleaned up by the people around them in time.
Zhang Zhao's group, surrounded by four people in the middle, two of them are Li Zhizhi and Park Anna. The other two people are Liu Ruochen, who is not treated by others, and her agent Tian Tian. The four men followed the procession, all scared, but did not dare to make any sound.
The cloak was exposed to the sun, and the stench it emitted was mixed with a strange smell, some spicy eyes, but no one dared to rub their eyes, and any inappropriate behavior could cause the discovery of corpses. Park Anna stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang Zhao tightly, and her other hand held the trembling Li Zhizhi. She made a mask out of rudimentary strips of cloth, leaving only one pair of eyes outside. Looking at the nervous companions around her and wrapped in cloaks, she felt much more relieved. Although there were quite a few stupid zombies who tried to break into the team, they were all stabbed to death by their companions around them. The corpses will not riot because of the fall of their kind, things like this happen every day, zombies are not really going to die naturally, and those zombies whose bodies are routing will also die.
Liu Ruochen and her agent Tian Tian were almost glued together, and the two of them held hands, bent over, and walked forward. Any disturbance will scare the two of them at a loss. But they are not stupid, even if they are so scared that they pee, they do not dare to make any sound, and if there is the slightest mistake, it will undoubtedly cause a catastrophe to the whole group. When the time comes, maybe the people in their own group will also give up on them in time and run for their lives.
Compared with others, Wang Ying and Chen Hua are much more difficult, this old-fashioned cart is used to push sand and soil when building a factory, and it is quite convenient to operate. The wheels are big enough, whether it's a small slope or an undulating section of potholes, as long as you exert a little effort, you can get by. Wang Ying focused all his energy on the cart, and the task of cleaning up the zombies fell to Chen Hua. After all, his leg injury was only slightly better, and he was unable to move, unable to turn around, and unable to avoid. The long steel pipe in his hand is specially made, and he can only stab straight when he encounters a zombie when he is brought up, and there are a few times when he is almost taken out by the zombie who fell to the ground, and the strength of his hand needs to be grasped very well, stabbed out, withdrawn, stabbed out, retracted.
There are still some inconveniences in doing this, such as Wang Ying has to cooperate with Chen Hua's movements to change the angle of the cart, which is much larger, and it is easy to attract more zombies to come. In the back, Wang Ying simply retweeted and pulled, which was more conducive to Chen Hua's attack. These zombies who came up were not necessarily coming towards the team, the zombies walked aimlessly, collisions between them were a common occurrence, basically the zombies sniffed each other, and they passed away. However, just in case, everyone still preemptively cleaned up these zombies that won't cause too much damage to the team, in case they get too close, no one will make a mistake.
When passing a small slope, a group of hundreds of zombies appeared in front of him, and Zhang Zhao hurriedly gestured to signal the team to slow down. The group of corpses stretched for a distance of more than 100 meters, and it was impossible to bypass it, because although the route of the zombies seemed to be irregular, in fact, most of the zombies still took a straight route. If the group of them suddenly turns around, it is very likely to attract the attention of the corpse group.
When approaching the group of corpses, there was a zombie with ulcerated cheeks and exposed teeth, almost bringing his face close to Zhang Zhao, he sniffed it suspiciously, and then roared at Zhang Zhao, and a foul smell came to his nose. The team stopped, and the zombies around them were all heading here, if Zhang Zhao killed this zombie now, maybe other zombies would surround him.
"Oops!" Guo Rong was shocked, this zombie was only more than a meter away from him, if he really found that something was wrong and wanted to attack them, he only needed to take a step to split him. But Zhang Zhao didn't move, and he didn't dare to move, maybe things still had a turn for the better.
The people in the back also seemed to have discovered what happened at the front of the team, and before leaving, Wang Ying told everyone many times, telling them how to walk, how to stop, how to avoid, and how to attack zombies. The team in front stopped, and the people behind immediately imitated the movements of the zombies, wandering in place, like a group of lost walking dead.
Zhang Zhao's group saw all this clearly, Li Zhizhi and Pu Anna behind him, sweated in their palms, and their bodies couldn't stop trembling.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao just lowered his head, bent over, buried his face in the cloak, and then let out a low roar. This low roar is a little different from that of ordinary zombies, like a hoarse old cow. The zombie was stunned, and then moved aside very interestingly, but Zhang Zhao did not flinch because of this, but yelled at the zombie a few more times. Then a surprising jaw drop, the zombie seemed to have seen something terrible, quickly took a few steps back, and hid in the corpse.
If he could communicate in human language now, Guo Rong would just want to shout: ", it's amazing, it's just amazing!" In everyone's stunned, the zombie was a few points faster than when it usually chased and bitten humans, and disappeared after a while. Zhang Zhao himself was also surprised by this result, he was actually very scared just now, but the zombie was in front of him, and it was very likely that he would pounce if he was not careful, and he didn't know if his brain was short-circuited at that time, and he subconsciously learned to roar like the previous evolved zombie. He didn't learn like it, but he didn't know that his low roar actually had another effect.
There were no zombies deliberately blocking them, so the team continued to move forward, and to pass through this wave of corpses, it would take a distance of about forty or fifty meters, which was exactly the length of their line.
"As long as you walk through here, you can escape without a hitch." Zhang Zhao said happily in his heart. The next distance was relatively smooth, and the zombies behind saw him coming, and they all avoided him intentionally or unintentionally. This unusual phenomenon is most likely due to the use of the roar to scare off the zombie just now.
Could it be that the zombies treat him like one of their kind? If this is the case, it will be an unexpected gain, a capital that will make it more conducive to his survival in the future.
