Chapter 49: Burning with Fire

The reason for Zhang Long's gunshot no longer needs to be explained. In the face of such a large number of zombies, the only option for the survivors is to flee for their lives.

The zombie horde approached very quickly, reaching the speed of a human trot, surging in the direction of the village.

When the survivors saw this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for the usual training and being able to withdraw quickly, everyone would probably have been dumplings by zombies at this time.

The two cars sped onto the main road and merged into the convoy, just behind the Passat, which grew to eight.

There is also a search team led by Cui Shu, also two cars and a tractor, with a total of five men and two women, and they can't take care of them at this time.

Judging from the direction, Cui Shu's convoy should be on the other side of the zombie group, and it is impossible for everyone to cross the entire corpse group to respond, so they can only resign themselves to fate.

The configuration of the three vehicles of the search team is also well thought out and familiar. The two cars have a strong ability to protect themselves, plus a tractor is specially used to pull goods, taking into account search and safety.

With Cui Shu's composure and calmness, seeing such a large group of zombies blocking the way back to the village, he will definitely make a rational choice, and it shouldn't be a big problem to keep himself.

The convoy sped forward, trying to get out of the zombies' pursuit, but soon slowed down again.

This is the only main road out of the village, which is asphalt paved and in good condition. The wind does not show some gravel on the road every other side, large and small, making the passing vehicles bumpy for a while.

Especially the cash transport car, which was the first car, was crowded with people, and it was so upturned that it let out bursts of exclamations, and even Zhang Zifeng who was behind could hear it.

Xiong Xianming drove the Passat, carefully avoiding the larger stones on the road, and said with a frown: "There were no such stones yesterday, someone must have deliberately placed them here." ”

Zhang Zifeng was the co-pilot, glanced at him, and understood what each other was thinking. Humans in this time and space are scarce items, and the only human beings who can think of doing this are Niu Meng.

Could it be that he could have expected the zombies to attack the village and deliberately create obstacles on the way?

What follows confirms this view.

The cash truck stopped because there was a roadblock in front of the road - a long log stretched across the road ahead, and it was possible to force it through it and damage the vehicle. Chu Zhaonan had to direct the hands to move the wood, although the process was not cumbersome, but it would be time-consuming. In the case of the zombie army, time is as precious as gold.

Then there were all kinds of obstacles, overturned tricycles, bicycles stacked on top of each other, and the most large and small rocks, and the team had to stop and go, seeing the zombies behind them chasing closer and closer.

A pile of debris in front of him blocked the road, and more people had to get out of the car to clean up, and Zhang Zifeng also joined the labor team.

There were too many debris on the road, so everyone simply didn't get on the bus and cleaned up while walking, so that the convoy behind could pass smoothly. However, in this way, the speed of progress is much slower, and the zombies behind are getting closer and closer.

"This bull who has received a thousand cuts!" Chu Zhaonan muttered as he worked. Obviously, Zhang Zifeng and Xiong Xianming are not the only people who doubt him.

"I'll just say, I should have chopped him up with my own hands." Zhang Zifeng looked back and saw that it was Zhang Long who spoke, and he also got out of the car to help clear the roadblock.

"Are you alright?" Chu Zhaonan said, looking behind him, Zhao Hu Mahan was also busy.

Zhang Long shook his head and said, "After seeing the zombie group, we immediately threw down the tractor and went back, and everyone was safe and sound. Did you hear the warning? Everyone reacted quite quickly. ”

Originally, I wanted to expand the search area today and find more good things, but not long after leaving the village, I found a huge group of zombies in front of me, which made Zhang Long shocked.

With no other means of communication, he had no choice but to warn the survivors in the village with the sound of gunfire. Two precious bullets, just like that, were consumed.

Now the steel gun on his back is almost the same as a burning stick - this is the most painful thing for Zhang Long. In contrast, it doesn't matter if you throw away the tractor, it's all over the place.

Zhang Zifeng and Chu Zhaonan both breathed a sigh of relief, there were no casualties, and it was already the best result. I hope that the seven people on Cui Shu's side will be the same, safe and sound.

"It's really strange, for so many days, except for the one hiding in the cellar, there is not even a single zombie hair found outside, how can it suddenly run out so much." Zhang Long complained while kicking the stones with his feet, suddenly paused, raised his head and said, "It won't be the Chosen One."

Looking around, the zombies behind him were densely packed and could not see the edge, if the Chosen One could manipulate so many zombies at the same time, that ability was a few levels higher than Qiao Sen, I am afraid that even Zhang Zifeng could not do anything.

Zhang Zifeng and Chu Zhaonan glanced at each other. In order to prevent unnecessary panic, the information about the discovery of a huge corpse tide in the outside world has not been shared with the congren, and Zhang Long does not know about it.

Could it be that the Mourning Tide turned around and asked this group of survivors for advice?

Zhang Zifeng observed again, and shook his head at Chu Zhaonan, not that batch.

The group of zombies I saw before had quite uniform movements, as if they were carved out of the same mold, while the group behind them obviously belonged to the stragglers.

There is also one of the most obvious signs, the scale of corpses is all slick and slippery, but the pursuers behind are more or less traces of clothes.

Clothes? Zhang Zifeng suddenly seemed to have something, observed the zombies again, and blurted out: "They are zombies in the chicken farm!" ”

After fighting and training, Zhang Long's group of zombies had a lot of contact, and he was deeply impressed by the characteristics of several of them. And now, those ones are behind you!

When the others heard this, they all looked back and watched, and after a while, they scolded. The survivors spent time with the zombies in the chicken farm, and they knew each other well, and they quickly recognized them.

It was already obvious that the chicken farm must have been vandalized and the zombies were being lured in the direction of the village, and with the continuous barricades on the road, the answer was coming out: it must be all the ghosts of the cows!

Now I can understand his words when he left, "You will definitely regret it". Dare to love this kid at that time, he held back a bad stomach and took revenge on everyone in this way!

Zhang Long's scolding voice was even louder, "Damn it! This scumbag has long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, he is afraid of power but not virtue, he shrunk like a turtle when he was in the bungalow, and he knew how to bully women when he came out! This kind of person will definitely have no asshole if he gives birth to a son in the future! ”

scolded and scolded for a long time, and even he felt a little bored. Niu Meng has already let go, no matter how he scolds, he won't lose a single hair, but on his side, the threat is real.

Chu Zhaonan looked forward, and there would be a bunch of roadblocks on the road every three or five times, and he couldn't see the end at a glance. I really don't understand how Niu Meng has so much energy to wreak havoc, why didn't he see him so powerful when he usually worked?

Looking behind him, the zombie group was already less than 100 meters away. The upper body can be seen clearly through the wheat field, and some zombies have already taken up the boulevard, and it has become impossible to retreat to the village.

"We can't go on like this, the zombies will be able to catch up soon!" Chu Zhaonan pointed behind him, then to the sides of the road, and then said: "I have an idea, everyone go around the fields, get to a place where there are no roadblocks, and then go to the main road, and then speed up to leave here." ”

"Absolutely not!" Zhang Long categorically vetoed. His opposition was not due to the battle of will with Chu Zhaonan, but because it was too risky to do so. "The soil in the field is soft and the wheels can easily sink in. If the vehicle gets trapped inside, we don't have a chance. ”

"Maybe you won't get into it! After so many days of no rain, the wheat field has long been hard, and it is better to take some risks than wait for death. Chu Zhaonan argued.

"Why don't we abandon the car and walk." Xu Hong popped out of the car and said. She is the driver of a cash truck and is impatient with this kind of turtle speed. A four-wheeled car is fast, but it is also too limited by road conditions.

"No way!" The proposal was unanimously opposed by several men. Walking not only means giving up so much collected material, but also comparing stamina with zombies, and the chance of humans being able to successfully escape is very low.

"I have an idea." Zhao Hu, who had been immersed in his work, suddenly spoke. The shotgun on his back is now the only powerful weapon on the team.

He pointed to the wheat fields on both sides of the road and said, "Last training, I found that zombies are easy to burn, aren't these wheat fields natural Molotov cocktails?" It had not rained for a long time, and the straw became very dry, ignited instantly, and was able to spread quickly. Now most of the zombies are in the wheat field, and they shouldn't be able to run away from the fire. ”

After thinking about it, he added: "The wind direction is also suitable now." Even if you can't burn them, you can form a wall of fire to isolate the zombies and buy us time to retreat. ”

"I agree!" Zhang Long first expressed his position, patted Zhao Hu's shoulder, and said, "You are still clever, why didn't I think of it." ”

"But—" Chu Zhaonan's lips pursed, and he wanted to say something, but swallowed again. Subconsciously, wheat is food, which is planted by people with hard work, and it is already a great sin to rot in the ground, how can it be burned in one fire?

But now that everyone's lives are almost gone, where can they manage so much!

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Zifeng, and there were differences of opinion at the critical moment, and he needed to make a final decision. Even if you don't make a decision, you should at least ask him if he has any other suggestions.

Zhang Zifeng suddenly felt the pressure, his body was much stronger due to the mutation, but it didn't mean that his brain was more flexible than everyone!

Silence means abstention. Xu Hong jumped down from the cash truck and said, "That's it!" Time is of the essence, we immediately set fire! ”

She held a red disposable lighter in her hand, and she looked eager to try it, as if she was addicted to arson.
