Hearing that the zombies were going to be burned, most of the people in the cash truck jumped off. Under everyone's attention, Xu Hong walked a few steps quickly to the edge of the wheat field, and with a "wipe-" moment, a small flame burst out of the lighter and ignited the straw.

Almost at the same moment, a man's voice came from afar: "Don't light a fire, don't light a fire!" ”

The person turned his head to look, and saw that Xiong Xianming was rushing towards him, with an anxious face. The Passat was at the rear of the convoy, and as the driver, he didn't get out of the car to clean up the debris, and he learned the news later than everyone else.

Late. The dry straw caused the fire to spread very quickly, and it soon burned brightly. Waves of heat rushed in, forcing people to retreat.

When Xiong Xianming ran closer, the fire had no chance of being extinguished, and the flames burned forward along the wheat field with the help of the wind, making a beeping sound. He panted as he stared at the fire, his face as dead as ashes. Trying to say something, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Others were in the opposite mood, and the flames more than a person tall drifted obliquely into the blue sky, making people excited. This kind of large-scale scene was rare even before the end of the world, and everyone didn't even bother to clear the road and concentrate on checking the fire.

Under the southwest wind, the flames rushed in the direction of the zombies. The stubble fire was large, but not long-lasting, and the fire spread, leaving a trail of black ashes, and a clear line of fire formed in front of it, which soon came into contact with the oncoming corpses.

As the line of fire approached, the pursuing zombies showed obvious restlessness, some numbly continued to move forward, and some of them turned around and ran, trying to escape the pursuit of the flames. More often than not, they stand still, or wander back and forth, with a blank face.

The flames quickly engulfed the zombies in front of them, and after the line of fire, several more humanoid torches could be clearly seen, rolling and wailing in the flames. After turning into a zombie, all aspects of the body's abilities have been strengthened, but in the face of flames, it is still as fragile as humans before.

The screams seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back, and more zombies turned back the way they came, and the pursuing team basically collapsed.

The effect of Zhao Hu's suggestion far exceeded people's expectations. I felt like I was in danger just now, but now it seems to be fine? If the fire doesn't spread to the village, it's even possible to return to the base.

"Good!" I don't know who shouted, the atmosphere suddenly became warm, everyone applauded at the same time, but also applauded collectively, and everyone even had a feeling of the rest of their lives.

Chu Zhaonan also had a smile on his face, and the crisis was resolved, which made people breathe a sigh of relief, as for the idea of wasting food, he had already thrown it away.

"Shut up!" Xiong Xianming shouted out an inopportune sentence vigorously, making the scene quiet all of a sudden.

Xiong Xianming pointed at everyone with his arm, even Zhang Zifeng didn't miss it, and roared: "What is there to celebrate, do you really think this is a good thing?" ”

Isn't it? Everyone looked at him in unison, expressing their doubts with their eyes.

Seeing the blankness on everyone's faces clearly, Xiong Xianming seemed to ignite the desire to vent, and continued to roar:

"You guys are so naïve! The world has been ruled by zombies, do you know why we are still alive and sound? Is it because we are too powerful, or are the chosen ones too stupid? Neither, it's just a little bit of luck! ”

"We need to first understand the most basic fact, that the world is not what it used to be. The vast majority of humanity has been turned into zombies, and a group of Chosen ones manipulate them, looking for surviving humans, eating our flesh and drinking our blood! We are no longer masters of this world, but prey, prey! The kind that is hunted down by others! ”

"We're only alive because we haven't been discovered by other hunters. This area is originally a remote and sparsely populated country, and the Chosen One wants fresh humans, so they generally do not come to such a time-wasting place. Also, we need to thank Qiao Sen for emptied all the humans and zombies in the surrounding area, and maybe the Chosen One passed by the neighborhood and left when he found it empty. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Xianming seemed to be extremely sad and angry, pointed to the huge pillar of smoke behind him, and said:

"But what are we doing now! This smoke can be seen clearly from dozens of kilometers away, which is clearly announcing to the enemy that there are humans here, hurry up and enjoy the feast! Maybe there are a dozen Chosen ones who are ready to make a move, rushing here with their men. Why make such a big decision in a hurry? We may well be left dead with no place to bury because of this! ”

Everyone was stunned by Xiong Xianming's words, and it seemed that there was some truth when they listened carefully, the end of the world came, human civilization collapsed, and society seemed to have degraded to the barbaric era. The world is occupied by zombies, and the only survivors are like trapped on isolated islands, carefully hiding in Tibet.

is as strong as Zhang Zifeng, and it is precisely because he escaped from Lin Xue's pursuit that he fled here in a hurry. As for the others, they have been caught by hunters before, and the feeling of falling into the hands of the Chosen One can be described as despair. Setting fire to a wheat field is a stupid idea.

It was like a basin of cold water poured on the head, and the joy was swept away. Why didn't anyone think of that just now? Sometimes collective decision-making is not necessarily the right choice.

Some people have even complained in their hearts: if they hadn't insisted on driving the cow away at that time, wouldn't all this have happened? It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

"Maybe it's not so pessimistic." I don't know who muttered.

"I hope so. In any case, we had better leave as soon as possible. Xiong Xianming said dejectedly, "Time is running out. ”

"Of course you want to leave." Zhang Zifeng pointed to the distance and muttered. Everyone looked over and couldn't help but be shocked again.

Just as Xiong Xianming was speaking, the fire advanced a long distance. The fire spread, and in the ash-covered wheat field, there were several unharmed zombies, and it was not known how they had crossed the line of fire unscathed.

As for the village, there was both good and bad news at the same time. The good news is that the fire did not spread to the interior of the village, all the buildings were saved, and the living items left behind were not broken.

The bad news is that the entrance to the village is crowded with zombies, all of whom are there to escape the fire. The former base of the survivors has been turned into a shelter for zombies, and a large number of enemies have survived.

This also announced the complete loss of the possibility of rescuing Cui Shu's team through the corpse group.

In short, the zombies' ability to deal with flames is far stronger than imagined, and their bodies are tougher or their minds are more flexible, so that such a fire can't help most zombies. Now they are on the move, ready to assemble and launch a second pursuit.

Everyone woke up like a dream and continued to bury their heads in clearing the barricades, and the convoy slowly moved forward again. Seeing the zombies rushing towards this side again on the flying ashes, everything seemed to be back to square one, and everyone couldn't help but work harder.

Xiong Xianming returned to the back of the convoy to drive, and left another sentence before leaving:

"Besides, we can't go all the way down this road, I have a fork in the road more than ten miles ahead, and we have to turn a corner."

Follow this road all the way to Subaru's location, where the group of four people saw a huge tide of corpses, which left a deep impression on Xiong Xianming. Further ahead is the city where the three people escaped, and Lin Xue and his war servants are even more nightmarish existences.

No one dares not to take his words seriously. Everyone began to regret why they had to watch the fire just now, and finally grabbed a little precious time, so it was delayed in vain.

There is always a shift between great sorrow and great joy that is too fast. The team had advanced a few hundred meters, and the road turned a corner, and everyone was surprised that the road was as clean as a girl's face, and there was no obstacle.

It's no wonder that Niu Meng's energy is limited after all, and he has to set up roadblocks and go to the chicken farm to release zombies, so it is impossible to cause too much trouble in a short period of time.

However, everyone did not have the slightest excitement, but deepened the feeling of regret. Why risk setting the wheat field on fire when you know there is only such a distance left ahead?

The convoy ran wildly again, and as the trees on both sides quickly retreated, the zombies in the rearview mirror became farther and farther away until they disappeared, and they were out of danger for the time being.

After a while, everyone came to the fork in Xiong Xianming's mouth. Coincidentally, the road leads right to the east. According to the plan discussed by Chu Zhaonan and Cui Shu, the goal of everyone's advance will be the military camp 100 kilometers away, and it is this road that will be taken.

Walking down the road, maybe you can meet Cui Shu and his party smoothly.

The convoy drove down the boulevard and continued at high speed, stirring up a large cloud of smoke and dust on the dirt road.
