Chapter 15: The Wolves Walk in the Wilderness

Leaving the graveyard of his deceased wife, Zhang Jiaming did not stop for a moment to walk through the fields in the torrential rain, he was going to HL Village, where his mother disappeared, with his existing ability - the sense of smell!

He can use the clues on the scene to find the whereabouts of his relatives, woods, pastorals, village houses are flashing around him quickly, those zombies that occasionally block the way are also easily dodged by him, the scarcity of evolution zombies in the countryside makes Zhang Jiaming more unscrupulous, the travel time spent to find relatives that day, now it only took less than one-twentieth, soon, the outline of HL village appeared in the lightning, this is a village with no living people at all, Zhang Jiaming stood in the rainstorm to use his ability.

He tried hard to feel the breath of a living person, but unfortunately, there was nothing, and with a low roar of dissatisfaction, Zhang Jiaming quickly approached the destination with a vegetable patch.

It's about 2 o'clock in the morning, the rainstorm has no signs of stopping, and fortunately, Zhang Jiaming's dense fur is used as a cover, Zhang Jiaming didn't feel the slightest cold, the orc easily jumped on the roof of his relative's house, and after jumping into the compound, Zhang Jiaming made a new discovery, this time, he observed the traces of the scene more carefully, his mother's tram was parked on the right side near the gate, after sniffing, Zhang Jiaming smelled a faint mother's body odor, which he couldn't do before he didn't have the ability to mimic!

After remembering it firmly, following this clue, Zhang Jiaming rushed into the hall, which was still a mess, which showed the chaos of the situation at that time, his mother was hiding, and he first entered the inner suite, well!

It seems that something is chasing her behind, no, maybe in a panic she only cares about herself and escapes, there are two footprints, no, it is six!

It seems that 3 people joined her in escaping, and they opened the window of the inner room! Looking at the rain outside the window, Zhang Jiaming was a little confused, although the sense of smell of dogs can track the smell of a few months ago, but the ability of his own cottage is still far from up to standard!

Zhang Jiaming sniffed the smell left on the windowsill a few times, and remembered them one by one, so that the scope of the target would be expanded, and he would not be blind when he looked for it.

The direction of the escape of the 4 people is the warehouse in the backyard, Zhang Jiaming rushed into the place where he rummaged through the old musket in a few steps, the same is also a mess, tools and a few piles of dry straw are mixed together, and a small number of fertilizer bags are also thrown everywhere, the chaos of the scene did not confuse Zhang Jiaming, there is a footprint separated from the crowd, into a large pile of boards and wooden boxes behind the back, which he did not find at the beginning!

Zhang Jiaming first ignored the traces of the crowd, first traced this single trace, the owner of the footprints was obviously very panicked, he first knocked down a few boxes, and then sprained his leg, dragging the injured leg, he ran up to the second floor of the warehouse, and then continued to open the lid on the top floor and climbed to the top floor!

Zhang Jiaming finally found that the owner of the trace was dead, starved to death, and his body had long since turned into a pile of dry bones.

Disappointed but full of anticipation, Zhang Jiaming continued to track down the remaining three. The backyard is a cattle pen, because most of the countryside uses agricultural machinery to plow the fields, and it has been changed into a place to pile up all kinds of sundries, and the half-opened courtyard door tells Zhang Jiaming that the target he is tracking has run out of the scope of the compound!

After confirming his mother's safety again, Zhang Jiaming returned to the second floor of the compound with satisfaction, rummaged through his cousin's clothes, Zhang Jiaming recovered his human form and changed into a set of sportswear, in order not to be caught in the rain, Zhang Jiaming went downstairs to find a raincoat and two travel bags, loaded with some residual candy in the house and a few catties of dried mushrooms, Zhang Jiaming continued to track from the backyard, he couldn't stop, there was an intuition told him that if he couldn't find his mother before the winter, he might lose her forever!

Even if he turned into a human form, his sensory ability was still not weak, perhaps because of the big snake, the flesh and blood provided by the same first-level mutant beast, which allowed Zhang Jiaming to continue to track with his own ability under his human form.

After turning over a few barren slopes, the trees in front of him began to increase, between the lightning and thunder, Zhang Jiaming seemed to see a glimmer of hope, if his judgment was correct, his mother's direction of escape was probably the forest ranger's cabin on this hill!

Many private forest farms in the south have such rangers, most of whom are outsiders who are hired to guard the trees so that they are not cut down by local greedy.

The ranger's hut is on a hillside 5 miles ahead, so it's not hard to find! Thinking of this, Zhang Jiaming strengthened his belief in his heart, accelerated his pace, and passed by a low-lying area, a scene was found by him, the corpses of two zombies fell into the water, from the perspective of time, the corpses have been rotting for at least more than a week, Zhang Jiaming raised his head and tried to sniff in the direction of the woods, the sound of thunder affected his hearing system, and now his reconnaissance means can only rely on smell and sight.

After a while, Zhang Jiaming determined the direction, tightened the bag behind his back, and continued to trek. There are a lot of dead trees and broken branches in the forest, in the autumn season, many shrubs have not yet withered, for ordinary people, or zombies, the action must be greatly hindered, thanks to Zhang Jiaming's agile skills, in the dense woods like his own backyard, basically there is no stagnation, all the way smoothly.

Halfway up the mountain was soon in front of him, Zhang Jiaming did not rush in, and when he was still 150 meters away from it, he stopped and sensed it, and there was no sign of any living person!

This made Zhang Jiaming's heart tighten, do you want to pounce again? The hut is made of whole timber, square, the edges are fixed with spikes, it is very solid, the two small windows are separated from each other on the left and right, there is no light in the window, only the small screen window that is blown by the wind is croaking and swaying, the black simple wooden door is closed, the raindrops wash this hut, dead silence, pure dead silence!

Zhang Jiaming, like an ape, moved his body lightly, took advantage of the shadow between the trees, approached the cabin, and felt it again, indeed, there was no trace of human activity here.

Perhaps, this place has been completely forgotten. After all, it did take a lot of time to walk that far to get here, and even if a living person remembered it, it would have been a month or two ago.

Kicked open the wooden door, a few big mice jumped out of the window in a panic to escape, pots and pans are there, the rice jar has been patronized by mice, leaving only an empty jar, the bed is clean, the quilt or something is good, no one has moved, the ranger estimates that there is something, go out and never see back, think about it is also more auspicious.

After rummaging through it, he could only find a woodcutter and two logging axes from under the table, for Zhang Jiaming's current arm strength, holding it in his hand is the same as empty-handed.

With the mentality of a thief not going empty, Zhang Jiaming reluctantly accepted these three cold weapons, although he had a self-defense May Fourth and dozens of bullets.

The forest rangers generally have an old-fashioned firecracker, and it is estimated that they will take it away when they go out, the south is different from the north, although the country is very strict about gun management, in many places, especially in the mountainous areas where there are many wild beasts, the border people still secretly hide a lot of firearms, both long and short, Zhang Jiaming is not for these waste products, he just cares about whether the people who use the firecrackers are still alive!

Just find them and you'll find out more about the survivors around you! It's this damn heavy rain, affecting most of Zhang Jiaming's detection methods, as long as it is a moving object, he can feel his presence within a kilometer, no one will venture out to move in the rainstorm, Zhang Jiaming put down his backpack, lit a fire in the stove of the hut, and prepared to dry his clothes, his wet body is always uncomfortable.

The firewood was dry, and soon the flames jumped, lighting a large pile of firewood, and a warmth permeated the hut.

Human beings in the last days live very hard, the southern mountains provide them with a natural refuge, but also bring difficult points of difficulty, many survivors in the previous months of continuous light rain sick, fever, and then lack of medicine and timely care, have died, the number of survivors has become more and more scarce, and the north, the environment of the great plains makes the survivors have no danger to defend, and the high-density people in the city produce more high-level zombies, and the types are also varied.

It is still those satellites, faithfully carrying out their missions, quietly recording all kinds of subtle changes on the earth.

At dawn, the rain did not stop, but it became a little smaller, Zhang Jiaming, who had rested for several hours, patted the dust on his body, extinguished the fire and continued his journey to find his relatives.

After thinking about it overnight, he came up with the basic place where his mother might be hiding, Miaojialing, which was originally a gathering place for Miao compatriots, with a small population, less than 20 households, and a population of more than 70 people, and later because of demographic changes, more than a dozen Zhuang residents moved in, with a total population of about 100 people.

Due to the large number of young people who go out to work, the rest are old and weak, and the permanent population is only about 50 people at most, which is a good place with few people--- which means a good place to take refuge in the apocalyptic environment!

The best thing is that the earthen fortress, during the Liberation War, a small number of border people in the southwest did not trust the PLA troops very much, coupled with the provocation of the rest of the Kuomintang, many Tusi armed forces colluded with them to build fortresses in some dangerous areas, and the materials were all kinds of stones that could be found everywhere!

Don't underestimate these fortresses, with only a small number of people, you can easily do it in one place!

Without mortars or small mountain artillery, it is impossible to break through these earthen forts with human lives, even if you want to use explosives packs, you have to risk great dangers--- most of Tusi's subordinates were hunters in the mountains, each of whom had a good marksmanship with extraordinary accuracy, and it was not a problem to light the incense within 100 meters.

With the passage of time, these buildings have also lost their role in that era and have become landmark buildings, allowing future generations to admire and sigh how the ancestors overcame all difficulties to build them in the midst of the mountains!

Zhang Jiaming is not very familiar with that area, and he has only heard the villagers occasionally mention that it is 12 kilometers away from here, and he has to climb several mountains to reach it.

Another location, is the RA River side of the bamboo village, there is a settlement of three ethnic groups, the Zhuang Han and Miao have, the population is not much, there are about 300 people, but the terrain is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, although there is no earth fort, but there is R River on the left side of the village as a natural barrier, the right side is a big mountain forest, the mountains are high and dense, there is no beast ability or the ability of birds to fly from which to get close to the village, the exit in front of the village is a stone bridge, the bridge head has an iron gate blockade, and there is a parapet wall, the river under the bridge has a drop of about 15 meters, The widest part of the river is more than 20 meters, and the narrowest part is more than 10 meters.

Even in the dry season, there is not necessarily much less water, the shallowest place has to be more than one meter, the most important thing, only at the mouth of the junction with the R River, the water flow will become slow, and most of the other sections of the river flow are very turbulent, plus the twists and turns of the waterway, it is absolutely difficult to swim by personal physical strength, if it is a zombie, then it will be washed away directly!

Behind the village is a large shoal, cut off by another river for a few miles. This village is relatively far away, compared to Miaojialing, Bamboo Village has a paved stone road that can be walked directly, which is convenient and fast, and you can definitely reach 80 km/h outdoors in the form of a beast!

It takes less than 10 minutes to get there, and if you choose to go to Miaojialing, the crooked paths and dense woods will hinder your speed, although it is daytime, efficiency is the first.

Go to Bamboo Village first, and then go to Miaojialing. The plan was certain, Zhang Jiaming packed up his things, put down the bag containing food and hid it, leaving only the sheepskin pocket that was convenient to tie around his waist.

Many small beasts in the mountains have been changed by the virus, from time to time, Zhang Jiaming found that there are squirrels and squirrels the size of earth dogs, even if he saw Zhang Jiaming, these elves in the woods are not very scared, they are busy with their work, a wolfdog-sized weasel succeeded, raided the swarm of soil whets, took one and disappeared in the dense forest, this small episode did not arouse Zhang Jiaming's attention, out of the grove, along the paved stone road, he began to run wildly.

Stone-paved roads are the most important part of urban and rural construction, many villages close to RA County have cement road connections, but Zhuzi Village is located in a special location, did not enjoy this treatment, the government built this township road that can barely pass agricultural machinery vehicles, it is also a bit of conscience.

Kicking the gravel along the way, the orc's tense muscles jumped and broke the rain curtain, and soon came to the opposite bank of the village, Bamboo Village, as the name suggests, almost all of the bamboo forests around it are large clusters, these plants are the most natural courtyard, and it is also one of the few economic sources in the village, bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs and the like are still more traditional handicrafts, in recent years, the village secretary has found an investment businessman and set up a bamboo processing factory, Small-scale export of bamboo mats, a summer staple loved by both people from both the north and the south, quickly made the village rich, and from a distance you can see that almost all of the village is a small two-and-a-half-story western-style building.

After exploring for a while, Zhang Jiaming only found a few zombies walking around on the stone bridge, and the iron gate in the village was also half-hidden, and there was no one in sight, and the village seemed to have been abandoned.

The population of the village is not much, about 200 to 300, most of the people moved into the city after having money, it took more than ten minutes, Zhang Jiaming, who found nothing, returned to the stone bridge, cleaned up the zombies in which place, closed the big iron gate, if there is no evolution zombie in the village, he can use this as a secret base of his own--- there are more than 40 acres of fertile fields near the river bank, at the edge of the village, Zhang Jiaming also saw a large flock of geese and ducks foraging freely, and the water buffalo herd in the village did not go far, There are very few zombies in the village, and it is only nearly 200, as long as you are patient and clean up, you can transport people here to develop immediately.

Uncovering the sheepskin pocket, Zhang Jiaming took out a bottle of wine, poured a big sip, and warmed his body a little chilled, this damn rain has become more and more abnormal since the outbreak of the virus, August and September finally cleared for a while, and it was like psoriasis in November, and it began to attack again!

After a while, a bottle bottomed out, and after throwing away the empty bottle, Zhang Jiaming had to continue on the road. There was nothing to do all the way, and I threw myself into the dim mountain forest, the raindrops that fell on my body gradually decreased, the path of Miaojialing was rarely walked, the villagers occasionally came out of the mountains, and there were also some urgent things to do or rush to buy and sell some things, most of the time, it was peaceful and quiet here, an orc broke the silence here, Zhang Jiaming bumped into the various strange trees and weeds that grew after the apocalypse, and trampled them into a green carpet, this time the journey took much longer, more than 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jiaming came to the hill opposite Miaojialing to sit and rest.

The third bottle of wine on his body was also digested, and with the use of his ability, Zhang Jiaming saw a faint figure shaking behind the earth fort, because of the cover of the forest, even if he had a special ability, he had to get closer to see it clearly.

Miaojialing is located in the hillside area, the front of the village is composed of a large area of hills, the local crops are mostly corn and a small number of rice fields, a small river runs through the fields in the village, most of the buildings in the village are on the hillside, because it is located in a more remote mountainous area, the road can not be built, many villagers here are not rich, just look at the architectural style to know, most of them are still adobe houses and wooden structure of hanging towers.

The earth fort is located on a small hill in front of the village, here is the only way to enter the village, it can be called a strategic point, the left side of the small road is the small river channel in the village, it is fifteen meters wide, the river is not deep, and the shallowest part is also one meter, but if the enemy who comes to attack thinks he is smart and wants to swim across the river, it is another fool!

Once you've crossed the river, it's all rocky beach, and there's no forest to hide, not to mention the rugged rocky beach road you'll have to walk through a rain of earthen forts overhead!

On the right side of the trail is a steep mountain, so unless you're a squirrel or some other mountain beast, don't even think about bypassing the earthen bunker in front of you.

Zhang Jiaming has never been here at all, and he knows little about the folk customs here, many people who have not been to ethnic minority areas do not know, some of the more congested villages are very xenophobic, and they refuse to allow those people with different surnames in their eyes to come to share the already pitiful fields in the village, which is where the interests lie, and it is also the theme of the eternal struggle between people!

Zhang Jiaming confirmed that there were living people here, and he didn't want to deliberately frighten these people, let alone ask for them.

Returning to his normal form, tying up his small leather pocket, and not minding the vigilant eyes behind the earthen fort, Zhang Jiaming slowly approached the fortress.

At least 6 earthen firecrackers were aimed at themselves, Zhang Jiaming would not doubt the shooting skills of these villagers, after hearing the sound of the bolt being pulled, Zhang Jiaming stopped, here is about 60 meters away from the earth fort, a few zombies lying in the middle of the road reminded Zhang Jiaming,

"Goo! Mont was strangled? Zhang Jiaming wanted to scratch his head, he knew that this was Zhuang dialect, but he hadn't learned it, he only occasionally heard them talk to Zhuang villagers occasionally, he was about to speak, but there was still that sentence from the tower,

"Got strangled!" As if it was a question, Zhang Jiaming took two steps back and raised his hand, indicating that he had no hostility, and the first element of negotiation was to respect the customs of the other party, which Zhang Jiaming had been taught by the teacher when he was studying law.

The posture of vigilance on the opposite side did not decrease a little, but a hunchbacked figure appeared on the female wall of the earthen fort,

"Who are you and what are you doing in the village?" The old man was very imposing, obviously with a gun in his hand, and he looked aggressive.

"I'm looking for someone! My family, them and a few others, they're around here! I know they might be here! Zhang Jiaming put down his hand and began to look at the earthen fort, the earthen fort is not very tall, the foundation is more than 3 meters, plus the tower body, that is, the height of four and a half floors, Zhang Jiaming can easily climb over the past, it can be seen that these guys are not willing to cooperate well, Zhang Jiaming is ready to go in and search by himself, after all, the hot temperament of ethnic minorities, Zhang Jiaming has been taught a few times in the city.

"There are no other outsiders here! Get the hell out of here! We've got guns here, you'd better not come here! Sure enough, another rough voice replaced the old man, this is the signal for Zhang Jiaming to do it!

With a low roar, Zhang Jiaming's body turned into an afterimage, and accelerated towards the earthen fort, this was a bold attempt, Zhang Jiaming saw the muzzles of the muskets spewing out large balls of fireworks, wild intuition played a role at this moment, those bullets, even if they were earthen muskets, their initial velocity reached at least 180 m/s, but in Zhang Jiaming's eyes, these bullets were too slow, and between a few dodges, Zhang Jiaming in human form arrived under the earthen fort, Another wooden fence in front of the earthen fort blocked access to the village, and in order to enter, the tower had to be occupied.

Without much hesitation, Zhang Jiaming jumped to the second floor of the tower, with the help of a protrusion in the corner, Zhang Jiaming once again exerted a backflip, like a harrier eagle, jumped directly into the chaotic crowd, a total of 7 people on the roof, the old man plus 5 men and one woman, the fire gun medicine is extremely slow, even if it is an 18th century musket master, a minute is only 4 shots!

Swing a straight punch, knocking over a stout man who just resisted with the butt of a gun to the ground, Zhang Jiaming still has to control the strength, now he is in human form at least five times the strength of ordinary people, without waiting for the other two guys to react recently, the retracted right fist and the left fist quickly smashed into their lower abdomen, after solving the three seemingly strongest combat power, Zhang Jiaming took out the five-four, pointing to the remaining few people, in order to show Zhang Jiaming's sincerity, Zhang Jiaming still showed his marksmanship, knocked off a tea bowl on the table behind the crowd, this time, no one dared to resist anymore, dropped the fire gun that was not filled with medicine, and obediently squatted in a row under Zhang Jiaming's surveillance.

Zhang Jiaming wiped a cold sweat in his heart, which big teapot he was aiming for! actually hit the tea bowl, shame, shame!

Sitting on a low stool, Zhang Jiaming put the gun into the waistband of his pants and looked at the villagers with a serious face.

"You don't have to worry I'm going to rob you or kill you!" Zhang Jiaming said lightly, he saw the perseverance on the face of the old man in the lead, as if to say: Anyway, it's not good if it falls into your hands!

Come on, big knives and axes or something! An old bone, and I'm not afraid of these knives. Seeing it in his eyes, Zhang Jiaming simply got up, helped the old man to the bench, and without waiting for the surprised old man to speak, Zhang Jiaming returned the gun to the villagers.

"Hou Shengzi, what are you making a fuss about? Aren't you called by those people to deal with us? Seeing Zhang Jiaming's blank face, the old man and the short man looked at each other,

"Well, there's nothing wrong with calling Brother Sheng, right?" The strong man is very realistic, Zhang Jiaming touched his beard, thinking that he must be a gangster in the eyes of others, so he nodded.

"I'm convinced of this big brother's skills, but we really don't know what you're doing in our village, so I'm really sorry to ,,,, just now."

"Don't talk about useless ones." The old man took over the conversation, knocked on the floor with the cane in his hand, coughed twice, and the short man quickly respectfully handed him a bowl of tea, took another tea bowl, and poured a bowl for Zhang Jiaming.

"I said, Hou Shengzi, you are from outside, right?"

"Yes, I said, I'm here to look for my family, you really haven't been here yet?" The old man shook his head, but nodded his head closely,

"What do you mean?" Zhang Jiaming's head was confused,

"There have been several groups of people here, and we have sent them away. You don't know, there's something wrong in the village! Alas, the offspring, you better hurry up, it's none of your business! Let's go! The old man stood up and was about to go down.

Zhang Jiaming knew the strange temper of these fellows, so he simply knelt down in front of the old man with a puff, and the old man was very surprised, and hurriedly went up to help him up.

"Oh, brother, oh, what is this doing," several people hurriedly helped Zhang Jiaming up, but found that this big man who looked like an iron-clad man was crying like a tearful man at the moment.

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk! Oops, what's going on, Hou Shengzi, you talk well! Zhang Jiaming restrained his emotions for a while, and then slowly said that he was looking for relatives everywhere, but he was empty everywhere, and mentioned that his father was more than lucky, and his mother was in the wilderness, and he was alone and alone, and he could only rely on his ability to wander in the countryside, mountains and forests for a day, and when it came to the sore spots, he couldn't help crying!

The old man sighed again and again, and the group was crying by Zhang Jiaming, and they couldn't help but wipe their tears.

"Hou Shengzi, it's not that I won't help you, we have indeed suffered a catastrophe, Miao Jialing, this is going to be the end!" The old man slowly recounted: A few months ago, that day was bright, and crazy people appeared in the village one after another!

There are appalling legends in the border areas of ethnic minorities, some vicious witch doctors will poison others with Gu, if they succeed, the person who falls into the Gu will go crazy or die directly, and the topic in the mouth of the old man is naturally those terrible scenes after the outbreak of the virus!

The husband chased his wife and bit wildly, the daughter tore and bit her grandfather's throat, whether it was relatives or friends, all the biting and bitten crowds began to attack all the living beings around them frantically!

The old man's surname is Qin, his name is happy, he is the eldest of the clan elders, don't look at the back, but his body is stronger than the young man!

He witnessed the human tragedy of his son-in-law's daughter tearing her eldest son to death and devouring it!

He also used the ancestral Miao knife with his own hands to cut off the heads of two relatives who were regarded as evil obstacles in his eyes!

With the dwarf man, his grandson, Wei Xiancai, the two of them cut down those crazy villagers all the way, gathered the few survivors, hid in this earthen fort, and barely survived by collecting some melons and fruits on the mountain.

Zombies can't water, and the river blocks their invasion, so they can survive unharmed.

Later, there were three groups of people, the first two groups were scattered and escaped, there were more than 30 people, Tan Zaixi did not let them into the village, afraid that the crazy people would harm them, and all of them were persuaded to leave, which is also the simple and kind side of the mountain people.

There are a dozen or so of them, all of them wearing mountaineering suits, and a few of them seem to be yellow-haired gringos!

Zhang Jiaming couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this,

"Have you ever seen a middle-aged woman with a short spot, just such a tall and a square face?" The old man thought about it and shook his head, the short man also shook his head silently, and the woman next to him stepped forward and said: There is one, I saw it, wearing a cotton jacket, with a square face, a sallow face, as if I hadn't eaten for a long time! Zhang Jiaming's eyes lit up,

"And where did they go?"

"They all went to Tanjiazhai, which is close to the big river, not far from here, maybe they can live on the fish and crabs in the river over there, there are not many things to eat in the mountains, but they have not starved to death, Tanjiazhai is on the edge of a large wild banana forest, this season, the wild monkeys in the mountains know to come out to steal, and the wild boars and badgers will also come to steal food." The old man babbled,

"So, who do you say there is a group of people?"

"They are bandits, they are murderers! I recognize it! The dwarf man snatched it up and said

"There are dozens of them, they are the worst people in our township, and the last time I went to the city to sell cattle, it was the people in their village who wanted to steal my cattle!"

"Brother, you speak slowly." It was Zhang Jiaming's turn to hand the dwarf man a bowl of water. You're welcome, Wei Xiancai gulped a few sips, wiped his mouth, and continued

"Originally, these guys also engaged in gambling activities such as red fish and hemp crutches, and made a little money to live, who would have expected that the two brothers Wang Shengwu and Wang Shengwen returned to the village after completing their sentences, these two guys were originally so bad that they were pus-shedding, and their father Wang Huairen was severely beaten and shot for raping women! Isn't it, the people in the four towns and eight neighbors have just suffered a disaster, they are good, they pull a stick of hooligans in the township, kill people and rob everywhere, and dare to do any bad thing! ”

"So, the guys you're talking about are still around?"

"That's right, I know the place, it's in the wild boar chong 20 miles away from here! There are many wild boars in that place, there are many mountain monkeys, there are a few caves in Chongli, very good Tibetans, and ordinary people get lost when they go in! ”

"Uncle Qin, Brother Wei, I, Zhang Jiaming, thank you here, but I shouldn't thank you for my great grace, you give me a word first, how many living people are there in the village?" The old man looked at the pass opposite the mountain village and pointed with his cane.

"The pass at the edge of the village, there is a lookout, usually people watch the wildfires and prevent wild boars from harming the crops, there are 5 families hidden on it, and they can still say hello to us from afar a few days ago, but I don't know how long they have no food, how long can they last? A few families who were far from the village also fled into the woods, and with the people we gathered and lived in the fort, there were only about a dozen people." The old man lowered his gray head, and two rows of muddy old teardrops fell to the floor.

Zhang Jiaming came to the second floor and saw 9 and a half old children, huddled together, looking at him fearfully, the children obviously had not eaten a few full meals, short and thin, Zhang Jiaming touched the head of one of the children, turned around and returned to the roof.

Silently bowed his head for a while, Zhang Jiaming gritted his teeth,

"Uncle Qin, don't worry, look, isn't it just a few o'clock? I've cleaned up the village for you, so you can live here in peace! Wait for the future, cough cough, the future, later, you see it! Without waiting for everyone to react, Zhang Jiaming jumped out of the roof of the building in the exclamation of a group of people, rushed into the woods, and with a roar, the beastly Zhang Jiaming directly entered the village!

In his blood-red vision, the scattered zombies couldn't surround him at all! The claws quickly cut the bodies of these zombies, turning them into fragments, but in ten minutes, the houses in the front village and the middle village were cleaned up by Zhang Jiaming, without stopping, Zhang Jiaming pounced into the foot of the mountain, where the hinterland of the village, the place with the most dense zombies, sure enough, there were more than 4 dozen zombies hanging here, first let out a roar, Zhang Jiaming jumped directly into the zombie group, he didn't have time to slowly clean up the house one by one, only by gathering the zombies, he could show his hands and feet, after a wanton fight, The zombies in the village were basically cleaned up, and after carefully patrolling around, after making sure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, Zhang Jiaming lifted the beast and cleaned his body in the river, and then returned to the earth fort, by the way, he still brought back more than 200 catties of rice and a small amount of cooking oil.

The crowd in the earth fort had already seen everything that had happened, although it was far away and could not be seen completely clearly, Zhang Jiaming's transformation was still seen clearly!

By the time Zhang Jiaming came back, the crowd had already knelt on the edge of the earthen fort! The old man sang a ballad that Zhang Jiaming couldn't understand at all, and stood in front of everyone at the invitation of the short man respectfully, and the old man then dropped his crutch and fell to the ground with the support of his grandson!

"The mountain demons were angry and sent calamity, and the gods could not bear to see their people suffer, so they sent King Aru, who was armed with a sword, to slay down the evil spirits of the human world! King Aru sleeps for a long time, and his descendants are not angry, which once again arouses the greed of the mountain ghosts, O stranger, it is the gods who have given you strength! Mauato has come upon you to bring us a happy and healthy life! We are grateful to you! Qin Abel was educated, and the official language outside was very fluent, and the old man bowed his head three times, and then stood up under Zhang Jiaming's persuasion.

"Hou Shengzi, we have seen it, you are Mao Atuo sent by the gods to come to the mortal world, and you are here to save all the people!"

"Thank you! Thanks Mauato! The crowd sang in unison, and that pious attitude made Zhang Jiaming think in a trance that he had returned to the disciples of the small island!

"That, Uncle Qin, that's all I can do!" The old man and the others all widened their eyes,

"These, you still say it's trivial? The offspring, it seems that I am really old, alas, it is really terrible! The old man didn't ask anything, but just explained that the Miao and Zhuang people in this area believed that their hero, King Yalu, would send his guardian beast Mao Ato to protect the nation when it was a catastrophe.

After eating, Zhang Jiaming and a few sturdy villagers spent some time gathering the corpses in the village, and the old man organized the villagers to hold a simple funeral, and then set fire to it.

The smoke pillar attracted a few scattered villagers, so that the vitality of the village was not completely dissipated, carefully calculated, there were still nearly 30 people, under the gratitude of the villagers, Zhang Jiaming said goodbye to them, and set foot on the road to continue to find relatives.

did a good deed, saved the people of a village, and got the news about his mother, Zhang Jiaming felt a little happier, in the last days, the good people always want to return to the previous life, but there is always evil in the world, no, after learning the ferocity of the Deng brothers, Zhang Jiaming immediately saw the viciousness of the two brothers Wang Shengwu and Wang Shengwen!

did not go to the wild banana forest in Tanjiazhai to investigate, because the road was farther, Zhang Jiaming chose to go directly to the wild boar chong to find his mother's whereabouts!

If it is an ordinary person walking through the dark forest, without a compass or other landmarks to indicate the direction, it is estimated that he will get lost quickly, Zhang Jiaming will not, after the beast, he quickly changed his position among the tall trees, even if the monkey in the mountain saw him, it is estimated that he has to call the ancestor master, and after many times to identify that he did not go in the wrong direction, Zhang Jiaming came to a valley, this is Wei Xiancai, the wild boar chong that the short man said.

The local name, Chong is actually the meaning of the valley, the terrain here is really dangerous, there are two hidden wooden buildings on both sides of the valley, obviously built by this group of bandits, this gang of bandits chose here because it is far away from the road, the traffic is not convenient, and the zombies cannot reach here.

But when they themselves were out of danger, they began to plague the surrounding villagers! At this moment, it is dusk, there are two bandits with knives hanging around on the tower, standing guard is estimated to be the most boring job, Zhang Jiaming gently bowed his body, approaching here with the help of the cover of dense forests and shrubs, suddenly he felt a little wrong, and when he perceived it carefully, he smelled a familiar smell, these people have dogs!

And there's more than one! Sure enough, a howling cry came from the front! Good dog protects the three villages, Zhang Jiaming can kill these dogs, but it will alarm the people inside, under the trade-off, Zhang Jiaming quickly retreated, sneaked under a cliff, waited quietly, and after a while, several dogs were stopped by the wasteland and stopped yelling.

Zhang Jiaming has raised Da Hei, knows some of the temper of dogs, there are no people or beasts approaching, they will be very quiet, but this also brings inconvenience to their own actions, quietly waited for an hour, the sky was completely darkened, and a few fires also rose in the valley, the cold in the mountains is heavy, there are many wild beasts, and the bandits are also mountain people, so they naturally understand these.

Zhang Jiaming stretched his body that was a little paralyzed, and began to rub his body with the bushes next to him, which he learned from his grandfather who ran the mountain, in order to fight wild boars, grandpa often rubbed his clothes and boots, including bags containing gunpowder including shotguns, with bush leaves repeatedly, they said, as long as there is no human smell on the object, or a little less human smell, you can get close to the beast, and then kill him with one shot!

Zhang Jiaming has seen the wolf totem, and there is a similar plot in it, so Thaksin, this time, it is time to test whether this experience is true.

Zhang Jiaming also has a secret weapon in his hand, which can help him distract the other party, especially those hounds.

There are still more than a dozen steps away from the bonfire, the dogs did not make another warning sound, it seems that the experience of the older generation is really reliable, Zhang Jiaming used his luck, threw the object in his hand out--- a big squirrel that was scared and trembling!

Out of Zhang Jiaming's grasp, the squirrel with an empty canned food box hanging on his butt began to flee in a hurry, and the canned food box was pulled in the lush wooded area, and it couldn't stop making a crisp sound!

Now it's okay, the hound barked like a nest, and the two people guarding the camp didn't dare to slack off, and quickly sent away the chain, so that the hound quickly attacked, and the other continued to stand at the entrance of the camp, guarding the surroundings.

Zhang Jiaming waited for the hunter to run away from the man, only then did he jump up and climb the stone wall at the mouth of the valley, just like a big gecko all the time, Zhang Jiaming crossed the fire and quietly fell behind the guard, with a muffled sound, the guard fell to the ground, Zhang Jiaming didn't care about him, it is estimated that the hound will come back soon, he is short of time.

The bottom of the valley is very narrow, Zhang Jiaming can only crawl quickly on the stone walls on both sides, the dotted torches are inserted in the stone walls in the valley, it is estimated that someone takes care of the torches, no one comes out to patrol, these bandits will not worry about anything, it is estimated that the guards at the mouth of the valley are their highest vigilance force, a group of rabble, Zhang Jiaming evaluated in his heart.

After walking for a while, he came to a relatively open area, where there were no dogs and no guards, but looking at the overly flat land, Zhang Jiaming smiled, he continued to climb the stone wall, and put aside these traps that were specially used to deal with brainless beasts, he was a beast with brains!

And it's the most dangerous for the wasteland. Soon, the road came to an end, there were 4 entrances at the bottom of the valley, but there were only 2 people guarding where, Zhang Jiaming didn't want to kill anyone, although he had killed zombies, but in his hands, there was not a single human life, although he looked fierce and vicious in human form.

A quick sneak attack, the two of them lay on the ground softly, 2 minutes have passed, although there is a dog barking outside, but it is not panicked,.

Zhang Jiaming was ashamed on the ground, and chose the larger cave in the middle to drill in, and he smelled a smell, just like that Christopher--- foreign smell!
