Chapter 226: Danger lurks
However, Lu Yang thought about things too simply, and when they were handing over the guard, there was a noisy voice. He and Song Muyuan didn't bother to eat breakfast, so they followed the crowd of people who were trotting in a hurry and came to another area not far from the accommodation area, which originally belonged to the planting area, and then the Lei brothers came and brought a lot of poultry, all of which were kept in captivity.
The fence was re-fenced by demolishing a lot of surrounding facilities, only one meter two or three high, and a pig was kept here alone. At this time, outside the pig shed, there were many people around, Lu Yang and Song Muyuan squeezed through the crowd, only to see Lei Zhengyu squatting on the ground, looking depressed.
In front of him was a puddle of rotten meat that barely looked like a pig, with its belly torn open and its internal organs torn all over the ground. And only some incomplete flesh remained, and it was also bitten with thousands of holes. This pig has been raised for a long time, and even in this difficult environment, the Lei brothers will still go to the surrounding area to find some weeds to serve as food for the pig.
"It's not supposed to die like this." Lei Zhengyu said as if talking to himself. It's no wonder that a pig that has been raised for so long can be regarded as its proper destination if it is slaughtered for everyone to eat. But it was such an inexplicable tragic death.
Lu Yang and Song Muyuan were as if they had seen a ghost, and the two of them looked at each other, and there was fear in their eyes. There were many people in the crowd who whispered, and most of them thought that it must be the comeback of brain-eating zombies. After the defeat that night, the brain-eating zombie turned the finger at the poultry in the Yushan base that had no ability to protect themselves, and wanted to take revenge on everyone by consuming resources.
Of course, this is a fantasy, even if this matter is done by a brain-eating zombie, his purpose is definitely not to consume resources. Lei Zhengyun found a hemp bag, put the pile of rotten meat into the bag with tools, and prepared to bury it in the ground around the base.
The Yushan base was attacked again, and this time the methods were extremely cruel, in Li Zijing's opinion, it was definitely not something that ordinary zombies could do. After everyone dispersed, he called Zhang Zhao and the others to his residence.
What happened in the pig shed was seen by everyone, just after a vicious battle, and facing a new crisis, everyone's face was full of sadness.
"Brother Li, I think this is a bit strange, unless it is a group of corpses, it is impossible to eat the pigs so cleanly." Zhang Zhao sat on the sofa and touched his chin.
The place where the pigs are raised is not too far from the accommodation area, not to mention that it is not easy for the group of corpses to break through the defense line of the Yushan base, and it is impossible to eat the pig quietly and avoid people's eyes. You know, since the end of the world, how many people have been able to sleep very soundly at night. When everyone sleeps, it is not an exaggeration to say that they open one eye and close one eye, and they all prevent emergencies at any time.
"Listen to me, could it be that some large animal entered the base and ate the pigs." Lu Yang said, "Last night, I think many people heard the wolf howl." ”
"Wolves? This is too exaggerated, how can there be such a thing in the Harbour City area. Fang Dong had a slightly mocking tone.
At this time, Han Weijun, who was standing on the side, jumped up as if someone had suddenly pricked him, slapped his head and shouted: "It's true, you forgot, Harbour City has the largest zoo in the eastern city." ”
When everyone was surprised, Guo Rong and Song Huagang had just returned from outside, and just after the incident, Guo Rong and the others immediately went to inspect the surroundings of the base.
"Pot, what's the situation?" Seeing that Guo Rong changed his previous expression, Zhang Zhao knew in his heart that there was definitely something wrong.
"You're right, what kind of mutant animal is this time." He threw the torn newspaper in his hand to the ground, and when the newspaper spread out on its own, it was covered with a dirty gray hair.
Seeing the animal hairs that were almost congealed together, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea, and the cold hairs stood on end, which was also too disgusting. He subconsciously dodged back and said, "Brother Guo, is it really a wolf?" ”
"I don't know if it's a wolf or not, but a man-high hole was dug in the fence on the north side, and I brought it back by hanging it on the barbed wire." Afterwards, Guo Rong couldn't remember why he did such a disgusting thing at that time, he took a sip and frowned: "Such a big hole, it can't be a lion or a tiger or something." ”
Whether it is a lion, a tiger, a wolf, or anything else, just tearing a big hole in the barbed wire is not something that normal animals can do. After Lu Yang's statement and the investigation of the scene, it is more likely that this matter was done by wolves. It's just that many people have never heard the wolf howl, only Lu Yang and Song Muyuan unanimously believe that they clearly heard it last night.
Wolves are group animals, and if they are really attacked by wolves, it will definitely be no less than a brain-eating zombie attack. While everyone was extremely worried, Zhang Zhao guessed several possibilities, and secretly prayed in his heart that one of his conjectures was correct.
Because according to Han Weijun, as the largest zoo in the east, there are hundreds of animals in it, and there are many extremely aggressive carnivores. When the end came, no one knew what happened in the zoo at that time, how many animals were still in the zoo unharmed, and how many animals escaped at that opportunity.
But either way, it won't be a good thing for the human beings who are struggling to survive. There are more than a dozen adult wolves in the area where wolves are kept in the zoo, and since some have escaped, it means that at least that area has collapsed.
What people don't know is that after the outbreak of the zombie virus and the attack on the zoo, only a small part of the facilities were paralyzed. A dozen wolves in the wolf's den, during that time, because of hunger, killed each other. In the end, only two wolves escaped from the den, and the last one was besieged by the corpses during the escape and became food for the mouth. The other had to escape from the city scarred and hide in the mountains and forests.
This surviving male wolf, he never imagined that the predator in nature would one day become a prey who fled into the wilderness. The wolf's cunning gave it the ability to survive in the mountains and forests, until one day, it gradually lost consciousness.
Whether it is a wolf pack or a lone wolf, no one can be happy when they are eyeing the Yushan base. The breached defense line was re-secured with barbed wire, the purpose of which was only to prevent other zombies from entering the base through this loophole. Everyone doesn't know when and where this mutant male wolf hidden in the mountains will visit the Yushan base next time. And these defensive facilities, in its eyes, seem so vulnerable.
In the next few days, everyone nested in the accommodation area, like a frightened bird, and at the slightest disturbance, they prepared for the battle. It's just that this lone wolf, I don't know if it still retains its cunning, has never appeared again.
Han Dong searched for the wolf's tooth for several days, but there was no trace of it, and he kept comforting himself that this wolf dog that had been with him for a long time just couldn't find his way back. But Zhang Zhao thinks that how can an excellent wolf dog get lost in the mountains, there is not even popularity here.
Guo Rong also reminded him with bad intentions that the wolf tooth was tragically poisoned by a lone wolf, and the angry slightly immature teenager showed a vulnerable side, crying and screaming after Guo Rong to fight.
Every day, we all live in gloom and fear. Half a month later, the snow has melted, and the mountains are gradually revealing new vitality and a hint of spring.
When I evacuated from the Xiangcheng base, I collected a lot of seeds, although I lost a lot of them along the way for various reasons, but as long as I planted the seeds at hand, when there were results, it would not be a problem to feed these people in the Yushan base. Lao Wang took a few people to renovate the land, began to sow seeds, and put more thoughts into the field every day.
The Yushan base is no longer as safe as I thought before, even if it is the whole world, where is there any safe place. The only thing you can do now is to hold on to this side and wait for a new turnaround. It's just that the hope that people are looking forward to has not appeared for a long time, and there is no news about the camp in the East China Sea Islands that many people want to go to in the end.
During this period of time, the Yushan base has completely lost any contact with the outside world. No one can predict what kind of crisis is still hidden outside, so no one dares to go out to search again, even though the resources are about to be exhausted.
The days are getting harder and harder day by day, and the amount of food per person every day is significantly reduced. Often at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, I was so hungry that I almost lost my mind. People are desperate day by day, and the distance is the most difficult enemy for these survivors. It is difficult to decide whether to survive longer by saving food or to live a good life for a few days.
Since the outbreak of the zombie virus, survivors have had to think about food and accommodation every day, in addition to dealing with crises that arise at any time. Every link has a direct impact on life safety. If you don't have a certain ability to resist pressure, you may collapse early and be eliminated by the world. The so-called crisis is everywhere and embattled, and this is the current world environment.
Just when people were about to go numb, an incredible thing happened in the Yushan base. One morning, Xu Haihai, who was patrolling, found a body in front of the gate of the Yushan base, and no one knew when he appeared here. The corpse had been turned beyond recognition, the limbs had been almost eaten and only the skeleton remained, and the internal organs and head had been turned over or disappeared. Not far from the corpse, there was a bulging blood-stained backpack containing a lot of canned food and the like.
After seeing the corpse, many people woke up from their numbness, and they were still living in a post-apocalyptic world. People panicked again, blood was dripping, and after all, they could have a heartfelt fear of people.
By counting the number of people, Zhang Zhao learned that this middle-aged man named Wang Min had been following their team from the Xiangcheng base after losing his family. He didn't know Wang Min very well, and he hardly said anything in his daily life, and such an inconspicuous person secretly packed a backpack of food and slipped out of the base.
Then, Zhang Zhao couldn't pity his suffering, and even felt that he deserved it.
"He might want to find a better place." Li Zijing said regretfully. After all, he was a companion all the way, and Li Zijing wrapped his mutilated body in an old quilt and buried it on the edge of the Yushan base, which was his final resting place.
