Chapter 169: Mutation
Li Zhizhi and Park Anna, like two frightened birds, curled up in the corner of the truck compartment. Seeing that the matter was revealed, with a pleading look on his face, he got up and got out of the car tremblingly. When did the two of them get into the carriage, looking at everyone's bewildered faces, they didn't seem to know.
The two of them were a little at a loss, like two students who made mistakes, standing up straight, waiting for the lesson of the class teacher. Zhang Zhao tightened his face and said coldly: "How did you get into the car?" Is it Li Yan's ghost? ”
"It's none of Sister Li Yan's business, we secretly hid in the car by ourselves." Li Zhizhi hurriedly argued.
"You can still lock the door from the outside in your own car?" Zhang Zhao snorted and said: "You guys are lying to a three-year-old child, it's really nonsense, wait for you to go back to the base with the convoy." ”
"That's not going to work." Anyway, he was caught red-handed, and Li Zhizhi was not afraid, although Zhang Zhao was very angry now, he would not act aggressively towards them.
"Why not? It's so dangerous here, you stay here, it's not nonsense. "Guarding the military rations seems simple, but in fact it is extremely dangerous, and no one knows if there will be any emergencies. There are no high walls here, no solid shelters, and if they encounter a large group of corpses, Li Zhizhi and Park Anna will really hold everyone back.
"Where is this dangerous, even a zombie can't be seen, don't drive us back, take advantage of this opportunity, and want to learn more. Even if you send it back for us, we'll still figure it out. Li Zhizhi said stubbornly.
"You ......" If this were in normal times, Zhang Zhao would definitely be furious and give Li Zhizhi some color. This woman didn't know what nerves to have recently, and she became more and more bold, and her tone and attitude directly choked people to death.
"Forget it, let them stay, even if they are sent back, they will still run out." At this time, Langchen, who was leaning on the side of the car and watching the show, suddenly spoke.
Zhang Zhao was speechless for a while, and waved his hand: "Whatever you want, don't bother to care." ”
After seeing Zhang Zhao leave, the team members whispered, and their eyes were full of ambiguous looks. Anna Park pulled Li Zhizhi and asked, "Wisdom, can we stay?" ”
Li Zhizhi showed an expression of success after the conspiracy succeeded, and said: "We can stay, let's go, Anna, let's help work, so as not to say that we only eat dry food and don't work." ”
A whole container of military rations was busy for most of the afternoon, and it was not enough to fill five trucks. Each carton is 20 packs of self-heating military rations, excluding those that are canned and packaged, and the specifications are different for different varieties. First, the car was driven to the container, four people loaded the car, and everyone else came to pass it except for the one in charge of guarding.
Seeing that there was no longer a bag on this car, Zhang Zhao was quite disappointed and said: "It seems that this car is small, and there is still a lot left." ”
What volume capacity or something, no one will calculate this, before departure, there are so many trucks that can be used, all of them are coming, and it is still impossible to load a container. Guo Rong took a sip of water and said, "Why don't you let them go back and dismantle those buses tomorrow?" ”
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "This is not very easy to do, let's do this first, it's a big deal to run two more times." ”
Han Weijun rarely had the opportunity to do manual work by himself, and after loading the car, he sat on the ground to rest, until the convoy started to leave, he stood up and patted his ass and said: "Team Zhang, why don't we go and find out if there is a big truck nearby, and directly transport the container back." ”
Fang Dong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, if you can really do this, you don't have to move it for half a day, such a big container is still full of goods, how can we get him to the car?" Now it's a nationwide power outage. ”
Han Weijun snorted and said embarrassedly: "Haha, I didn't take it into account, I didn't take it into account." ”
Li Zhizhi and Park Anna hid in a corner, and only after the convoy drove away did they walk out with confidence. He was afraid that Zhang Zhao would really let them go back, even if they had this determination, they would not have the courage to run out of the base alone.
Zhang Zhao glanced at the two of them, didn't speak, and went up to the small building next to him. Guo Rong smiled weirdly and whispered: "I said, you really got these two girls?" ”
"No, this is all Li Yan's ghost idea, and I will settle accounts with her after I go back." Zhang Zhaodao.
"Nonsense, you don't know yet, two beauties stuck up will not be tempted? Brother, it's the end of the world, even if you really do something, you don't have to pay any responsibility, take advantage of this opportunity to do whatever you want, and do so much. Guo Rong said with a smile: "People are not interesting to me, if they want to have this meaning for me, I will beat the gong and drum and happily accept it." ”
"Pot, why didn't I find you so obscene before? I understand what you said, the meat delivered to the door, don't eat it for nothing, right? Zhang Zhao stabbed Guo Rong with his finger.
"That's right, don't eat for nothing, don't eat for nothing, and eat while you're still eating." Guo Rong looked at Li Zhizhi and Park Anna who were stunned below.
"It's not that I don't want to eat it, it's that I don't dare to eat it...... I'm afraid that after putting in the relationship, in this world where life and death are not up to anyone, the more worries there are, the more dangers there are. Zhang Zhao lit a cigarette and leaned on the railing.
"You kid, are you amorous or ruthless, how can you have so many feelings that are easy to let go, isn't it good to have fun in time?" However, in this unrestrained apocalypse, after Guo Rong talked about Han Yue, he changed his previous appearance and became very single-minded.
When it was getting dark, everyone moved the quilts prepared in the car to the small building. There are two rooms, Zhang Zhao, Guo Rong, Li Zhizhi, Park Anna and Langchen live on the top floor, while the others live on the third floor. Off-road vehicles and pickup trucks are parked under the small building. Moved a lot of military food from the container, Zhang Zhao also got his wish to eat the first military food in his life, in the apocalyptic shortage of resources, although not as fresh as fresh, no fragrance, everyone ate very happy.
In order to prevent zombies from touching up at night, a splint was deliberately blocked at the staircase, and a series of bottles and cans were tied, so that if there was a slight movement at night, you could find it immediately. In order not to attract attention, there is no light after dark, and everyone has at least one flashlight with them, so they can use it when necessary.
The late autumn nights were cold, and even though everyone was wearing thick coats and a lot of quilts, they still felt like they were cold. Li Zhizhi and Park Anna leaned tightly together, covering the two quilts together, and slept soundly. Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong leaned against the wall, sitting speechless. Langchen seemed to be able to sleep peacefully in any environment, he lay directly on the ground, and the quilt was kicked aside, curled up and silent.
The glass window of the room was covered with a thick layer of fog, and in the middle of the night I heard someone standing in the corridor outside, peeing directly downstairs.
This night, Zhang Zhao didn't know how he fell asleep. Until dawn, he froze a spirit and woke up from a dream. Looking around the room, everyone else was still asleep, and it was already dawn outside. Zhang Zhao looked at his watch, and before he knew it, he slept until half past nine.
He got up to wipe the fog off the glass window, it was cloudy outside, the sky was inexplicably white, and the wind-blown glass made a slight noise. Everything outside has not changed, and there are no imaginary zombies appearing. Even the convoy that had been negotiated yesterday did not arrive on time.
The inexplicable uneasiness made Zhang Zhao a little upset, and he kicked Guo Rong who was lying on the ground with his foot, waking up the others one by one. Maybe it was really tired yesterday, and everyone felt very tired and reluctantly got up.
"Did we make an appointment with the convoy yesterday and get here at nine o'clock today?" Zhang Zhao wondered if he had misremembered, so he asked.
"yes, it's about nine o'clock." Fang Dong yawned.
"It stands to reason that if the road from the resort to the resort is smooth, it will take an hour at most." Han Weijun calculated. Yesterday I was delayed on the road for a long time, mainly for the first time, and the speed of the car did not dare to be too fast, and then I encountered a group of corpses on the elevated road, which delayed a lot of time.
When he came yesterday, Zhang Zhao also observed the road conditions by the way, and there was no big obstacle on the way when he came, and the way back was smoother. The north of Harbour City is a bustling and lively place, and to the south, it is basically the countryside, and there are few vehicles going there. The convoy was supposed to leave at about seven o'clock, and for two and a half hours, it was still nowhere to be seen.
"Isn't it going to be something? Encounter a group of corpses or something. Guo Rong guessed.
Zhang Zhao frowned, and said: "It shouldn't be, from the resort hotel to here, there is only one group of corpses encountered along the way, how can it be such a coincidence, in just two days, we will meet two groups, let's wait." ”
And then they didn't know that just yesterday, at the Palm Cove Resort, something big had happened.
......
Tong Ning is a member of the logistics department in the base, a native of Xiangcheng, and his parents are fishermen. Although he is no longer engaged in fishing in his generation, he has been exposed to some seafood and crabs since he was a child, and he knows a lot about some seafood and crabs. The base is short of materials, for a long time, everyone eats vacuum-packed food, even if they cook rice, they can only eat with some mustard, canned food, and Lao Gan Ma.
On this day, he got a small shovel and a plastic bucket from the hotel, and bypassed the guards alone, along the path back to the mountain, to the beach. He is already not confused, but he has always been single, mainly because he was too playful when he was young, and most of the local men in Xiangcheng have lived very particularly, while ordinary women can't stand the twisted men. Although he didn't have a partner, Tong Ning felt that it wasn't a big deal, he was used to living alone, free and uninhibited.
The zombies on the beach have long been cleaned up by his teammates, although the back mountain is listed as a forbidden place and cannot be entered, but in the restaurant below, he can clearly see the good things washed up by the waves on the beach. Xiangcheng people like to drink beer and eat seafood, others may not have such a degree of enthusiasm, but Tong Ning is different. Although in the apocalypse, he is still very hungry every day, even if he finds a jar of mud snails, he eats a little every day, and he feels at ease when he smells it.
On this day, he had a whim, and while everyone was busy with other things, he wanted to go to the beach to get something and cook a soup or something. He didn't have the skills of his father, so he had to rely on his previous experience to go to the beach and find what he wanted, such as some shellfish.
Tong Ning whistled, walked leisurely on the beach, dug up the sand with a shovel from time to time, and then put the shells and conch hidden in the ground into a bucket. After about an hour, the small half barrel was already filled, and no one noticed him.
Tong Ning looked at his booty, licked his tongue, and smiled proudly. He looked at the gloomy horizon in the distance, and suddenly noticed that where the sea was surging, something black was moving slowly.
"This ...... It can't be a turtle, right? Tong Ning's eyes lit up, put down the plastic bucket, and ran quickly to the beach near the sea. When he got closer, he realized that it wasn't a turtle at all, but a round pan.
Bending over for a long time made him dizzy when he stood up straight, after all, he was getting older, and his body was not as energetic as when he was young. Coupled with the fact that he had not exercised for many years, Tong Ning felt tired and uncomfortable. At that moment, a gust of wind blew the straw hat on his head away.
This is his favorite hat, which he used to travel abroad and bought it for hundreds of dollars at the Folklore Point. Tong Ning didn't care about the sea water overflowing the vamp, and ran into the sea after his hat.
After chasing for a while, the hat finally fell into the water, but fortunately, the water here is not deep, and Tong Ning easily picked up the hat. Just as he was about to turn back, he felt something black move in the sea as the waves surged. It's not a deep-sea area, there's no sharks or anything like that. The curious Tong Ning thought that the shoes were wet anyway, so it was better to go over and take a look.
The sea was the same color, which caused some problems with his vision, and he walked into the sea for a while, until the water reached his knees, and a biting cold snap rushed up. Tong Ning stopped, no matter what it was, no matter what it was, no matter how much further he went, he couldn't row.
The strange thing, with the ripples of the waves, slowly approached the shore. But Tong Ning stood motionless, staring at the thing.
"This is ......" Tong Ning's eyes widened, and when the mass was only two meters away from him, he saw clearly that it was a carrion corpse. Tong Ning stumbled into the water in fright, and after scrambling to get up, he couldn't wait to give himself a few slaps. His eyes were slightly short-sighted, and he kept his only glasses in his room before coming to the beach. No one would have imagined that it was only a slight myopia, and without the assistance of glasses, vision would still be greatly hindered.
Tong Ning ran back, not because he was afraid of corpses, but because, on the surface of the sea, there were countless rotting corpses floating, densely packed and unsightly.
At the same time as he ran back, countless zombies suddenly appeared on the beach, some of them were getting up from the sea, and some were already on the beach next to them, and when Tong Ning didn't notice, they stood up from the sea.
The sand is soft, and the shoes stained with sea water become unusually heavy.
