Chapter 225: Wolf Shadow in the Barren Mountain
When a storm subsides, we think the whole world will recover. But often beneath this peaceful appearance, another long-planned storm is preparing to set off. And in the post-apocalyptic world, bloody killings are staged all the time.
The Yushan base was attacked by brain-eating zombies, and the overall damage was not too great, so the repair work did not take a few days. When everyone meets, they can feel the look of fear on each other's faces. The ability of the brain-eating zombie is not the strongest among all the mutant zombies, but the psychological shadow he causes to people is the most profound.
In the next few days, the surroundings of Yushan returned to normal, and even the traces of ordinary zombies were also walking on the main road from afar. Brain-eating zombies poured out of their nests, and in the sparsely populated southern part of Harbor City, they hadn't seen so many living people for too long. If they can break through the Yushan base, then they can have a full meal, and maybe among this group of brain-eating zombies, there will be another intelligent one.
It's just that human beings are not so weak in desperate situations. If the brain-eating zombies have the same intelligence as humans, they will definitely not fall short. At the Fish Mountain base, they have lost almost the entire group, and perhaps only the Braineater Zombie Leader has escaped, unless he is really that smart and will leave some behind to guard his base camp.
In a mountain three kilometers away from the base of Yushan, the stiff soil after the snow, like damp brown sugar, is exposed. Under a large tree, dead branches were scattered, and a fluffy black shadow was lying on the ground. It was evening, and the last rays of light obscured by the shadows could not make people see the true face of the thing.
It wasn't until the grass rustled in the mountains that the black shadow moved, revealing a pair of piercing white eyes. Out of the grass came a sturdy wolfdog, sniffing along the roots of the grass with its head down, and now and then shaving with its paws. When it walked slowly to four or five meters away from the black shadow, it immediately pricked up its ears in alarm, and was stunned for a few seconds before carefully retreating backwards.
The black shadow under the big tree also slowly stood up at this time, and its body was the size of a calf. On its face, from the corner of its eyes to the tip of its nose, there was a swarthy old scar. The hair on the body is also bald, I don't know what is sticky, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that on the back of this black shadow, there is also a strange lack of a large piece of flesh.
With a dull roar, the frightened wolf dog whined and turned around and ran up the hill, while the black shadow trotted up in the direction where the wolf dog disappeared unhurriedly.
"What sound?" Lu Yang, who was drowsy, suddenly raised his head.
"What a sound, you're asleep." Lao Wang flipped through the dusty newspaper, twisted his brows, and tried his best to catch the small words on it. He found a lot of old newspapers from the round villa to pass the time.
"I seem to have heard a strange sound, whining......" Lu Yang learned in a good way.
"Wolves? You must have heard it wrong, this place is going to say that wild boars can still exist, wolves, I only heard wolf howls at the border a few decades ago. Lao Wang shook his head and put his energy back on the newspaper in his hand.
Seeing that Lao Wang didn't want to take care of himself, Lu Yang rubbed his face, picked up the back of the gun from the side, opened the door and went out. As soon as he got out of the courtyard of the villa, he saw Han Dong looking around anxiously, as if he was looking for something.
"Han Dong, what are you looking for?" Lu Yang asked.
The sudden sound startled Han Dong, and after seeing Lu Yang clearly, he said, "My wolf teeth don't know where to go." ”
"Maybe it's crazy to sneak out, it's getting dark, you can go back to the house early, except for the guards, the rest of the people are not allowed to move around at will at night." Speaking of this, Lu Yang was quite proud. He is a timid rookie, and now he is one of the few gunmen in the team, one of the team members on duty at night, if his classmates are still here, he will definitely be able to stink for a long time.
Han Dong didn't pay any attention to him anymore, Lu Yang sighed disdainfully, and then thought of the idea that Guo Rong and Zhang Zhao had faintly beaten this wolf dog some time ago.
"They won't eat it." Lu Yang was stunned and snickered inwardly.
After nightfall, the night watch and patrol personnel return to the accommodation area. On the fence outside the round villa, several shacks were erected to shelter from the wind and rain. In the event that something is amiss, all personnel are to be quickly evacuated to the villa. After the brain-eating zombie attack, everyone opened a gap in the places where the courtyards of each round villa were connected, so that they could deal with similar situations in time in case of emergency.
The number of people on night duty has also increased to eight, two people in a team, deployed around the lodging area, and almost all areas around the lodging area can be observed. Only those who have experienced zombie attacks can understand how important seemingly dangerous complexes are to humans. Every time you find a foothold, there will always be various dangerous situations, however, only by building humans can hold on to the last line of defense.
Lu Yang and Song Muyuan are in a group tonight, the two are similar in age, but their personalities are completely different, and they sit at one end of the fence and rarely communicate. Lu Yang was holding a rifle in his arms, covered with a thick blanket, and was napping with his eyes closed. And Song Mucheng smoked the cigarette he took from Guo Rong, and from time to time he reached out to roast his hands around the bonfire.
The supply of each meal was rationed, and tonight he had only eaten six or seven minutes full, and at this point, his stomach was growling. Hungry, he picked up a few unknown tree fruits from the side and threw them into the campfire, and soon after a few crackling sounds, emitting a faint fragrance. The more he smelled the fragrance, the more hungry he became, Song Muyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wishing that there were a few potatoes or sweet potatoes now, which could be thrown into the bonfire and roasted.
Lu Yang occasionally opened his eyes and looked at Song Muyuan, which made him very uncomfortable. However, in Song Muyuan's eyes, the cool guy in front of him looks much more pleasing to the eye than Ni Jianrong and others who are with him. Not only in today's world, but even in the peaceful society of the past, ability is one of the important conditions for evaluating a person. Lu Yang is capable, so Song Muyuan, who has always been arrogant, can't help but look up to him a few points.
It's cold at night, especially when the wind blows, and the rudimentary fence pours wind into it, even if there's a campfire to keep warm. In the second half of the night, the windows of every villa were dimmed, and those who had lit candles in their rooms went to sleep.
The entire Yushan base is as quiet as a long-dusted cemetery, and the surrounding buildings and decorations can only be seen with a faint outline. At first, there were people whispering in the other sentry posts not far away, but at this moment, one of them must have rested first to maintain enough energy.
Song Muyuan bored put the cigarette butts on the ground in a long shape, and put dry firewood into the bonfire from time to time, no one spoke, there was no entertainment, for a young man living in this era, he still couldn't fully accept such a state of life. At nightfall, when everyone has a place to rest, they can't help but think about a lot of things.
I don't know how long it took, the sky was getting white, and Song Muyuan estimated that it wouldn't be long before dawn. He stood up, stretched his waist, and moved his muscles and bones, and then he felt a lot more relaxed.
Except for the sky, it was still dark all around, and their sentry was at the entrance to the lodging area. If the Brain-Eating Zombie attacked that night, he would not feel relaxed now when he saw the strange scene that happened here with his own eyes. After all, the actions of the brain-eating zombies that night were too weird.
Although the building of the Yushan base used to be a folk paradise, the harbor city has a strong ability to accept new things, and it also has unique priority conditions. Therefore, when the Yushan Folk Park was built, many local elements were also combined, such as some sculptures along the road, as well as plant scenery.
Song Muyuan is very pragmatic and has a very direct idea, if it weren't for the fact that he had experienced too much during this time, maybe he would have become a cheerful and outgoing person. Judging from the situation in the past few years, all his troubles come from superficial things, and he never worries too much. Therefore, even in the dark world, he can keep a glimmer of light in his heart.
The slightest cool breeze blew the bonfire swaying, and the fire light was much dimmer. After Song Muyuan moved, he just wanted to go back, when he heard a long howl, from far to near.
"Wolves!" Lu Yang was the first to speak.
"What? Wolf? Song Muyuan looked vigilantly towards the gate passage.
The howl rang out three or four times, each time getting closer and closer. Lu Yang clenched his rifle and whispered: "I heard it during the day, and I thought I heard it wrong at the time, but now it seems that there are indeed wolves." ”
Not only the two of them, but also the other people in charge of the night vigil seemed to hear this series of wolf howls, and they all stuck out their heads and quickly looked around.
"How can there be wolves in this place?" Song Muyuan's expression was a little unnatural, and he muttered: "I just don't know, will it also become a zombie." ”
If it is an ordinary wolf, even if there are a few more, with the guardrail of the Yushan base and the guns in everyone's hands, there is no need to worry about it at all. I'm afraid that these wolves have also been bitten by zombies, and if that's the case, the devil knows what it will become.
The mutated animal Lu Yang witnessed it with his own eyes, and when he first encountered the mutated wild boar, it underwent a huge change in size and strength. If it hadn't happened to be Langchen at that time, something tragic might have happened.
"What should I do?" Although Song Muyuan was still a few years older, he couldn't help but blurt out now.
"It seems that the sound is not far from us, and it is about to dawn, and we will talk about it at dawn." Lu Yang looked at his watch.
When fear spreads, it becomes something else. In just over an hour, in Song Muyuan's opinion, it is longer than staying up for a year. When the sky turned white and the near and distant scenes were slowly revealed, his whole body seemed to collapse, and he had no strength at all. The muscles of his whole body were tense, his heart was hanging in his throat, and he couldn't even figure out why he was so scared.
