acT159: Tunnel Wu Wentao's complaint is not unreasonable, such a team with too many non-combatants does show great problems in all aspects.

The first part of the journey was barely enough, after all, they had just turned around from the Ghost Gate, no matter if they were worried or cautious, at least they could still stay vigilant and obey the arrangements of Song Yao and others...... However, in the evening, the disadvantages of the good and the bad were revealed one by one.

Although last night was also a run, but the night to settle in the relatively safe Jinghui Temple, the temple red brick wall itself can bring people a great sense of security, and the temple candles are swaying, the treasure hall is sheltered from the wind and rain, there are both canteens and wells, from the perspective of choosing a camp, the environment of Jinghui Temple is not worse than the roundabout.

It's a pity that Jinghui Temple is only a temporary foothold, and the team will eventually move forward, even if the temple is good, it is useless.

That night, Song Jiu adopted the advice of his sister, Chef Niangjia and others, and decided to avoid the town for the time being, and go straight along National Highway 312, trying to walk a little longer in the early stage, and wait until the supplies are exhausted, so as to free up his hands and feet to search for the new environment.

The small counties and towns around the ancient city have basically been swept over, and when they first returned to the ancient city, they passed by many stops, without exception, all of them were a tragic scene after the disaster, and the population density was not large, and there were only a handful of available resources in the town.

Choosing to avoid the city means sleeping in the wilderness, and sleeping in the wilderness is more than a problem.

The first is the choice of campsite, according to Wu Wentao's senior field experience, the camping site must meet the basic principle of retreat and defense, there are not many fighters in the current team, and these personnel who ensure safety can not be kept vigil and assist in defense, after all, rushing is a physical work, no matter how strong the personal ability is, you also need to rest to recover your physical strength, otherwise you will encounter trouble on the way, and there will definitely be an accident.

However, it was difficult to find a site near the national highway that met these requirements, and the road was far away, and there were no more or no vehicles left, which caused considerable obstacles to the movement of the troops.

In addition, the road is either lined with steep and difficult to climb barren cliffs, or lush, undeveloped mountains and forests that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see, and the only way to go deep is to camp in the middle of the road, leaving men to keep an eye on the front and back of the road.

So the problem is back to the beginning, if the few remaining combatants are allowed to keep vigil to help, then they will not get enough rest, and if they are replaced by non-combatants, their safety will not be guaranteed.

Lucy proposes to break up the team, such as a combatant with several non-combatants, in batches, and change the guard every two hours, sharing the pressure and taking turns to rest.

It sounded like it worked, and they did it in the past, without any major mistakes.

In this regard, Wu Wentao did not express his opinion, just sighed, and silently returned to the side of Dr. Zhong and Hui Hui, with a very clear attitude, how to do it for you, anyway, I only guarantee the safety of these two people.

Song Jiu and Jin Bo discussed and separated the five young men under Jin Bo, and each brought three non-combatants to arrange the changing of the guard; Luo Yu, Jiao Ziqian, and Yu An were responsible for exploring the road before and after, and the rest of them did not make any assignments for the time being, and seized the time to recuperate their physical strength to cope with the situation that might occur on the back road.

As for Fang Fei and the graduate students, they can only be used as a reserve team, just like Wu Wentao said, the rotation personnel cannot get enough sleep, and there must always be people who are in full condition to take over the work when they are in a hurry during the day.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, there is indeed a big difference between the miscellaneous team and the team that you brought out, whether it is mentality or execution, the gap is difficult to express in words.

In the evening, the team passed through a two-kilometer-long tunnel through the mountain through the national highway, because the light was dim, and Luo Yu, who was in charge of exploring the road, did not know much about the tunnel pattern, so they did not find the walking corpses in the emergency passage in time.

When the large army passed through the blockage of vehicles, some people accidentally knocked down the warning railing left in the tunnel due to excessive tension, and there was a separation belt hanging between the railings.

The hollow metal pipe hits the asphalt pavement, making a non-stop crisp sound, and the sudden appearance in the deep tunnel is particularly harsh.

Song Yao and Lu Qian walked in front of the team, Song Jiu and Jin Bo were pressed at the end of the team, and the whole team marched forward in a long snake, and the moment the sound appeared, the personnel in the middle panicked.

Chef Niangjia and the others were also in the center of the team, lowering their voices to try to stop those who were flustered from making noise, but it was useless, panic was contagious, even if the people who didn't notice anything strange at first, after seeing their companions around them draw their knives in their hands in panic, they were not calm.

Thus, what was originally a small episode turned into a symphony, and instead of touching the imaginary enemy, the blades waved wildly knocked the vehicles clogged in the road into a ping-pong pong.

Well, now it's okay, the walking corpse is originally a monster that tends to sound and become hot, the long and deep tunnel through the mountain is tantamount to a large megaphone, and the sound of gold and iron is simply a horn specially set for the walking corpse, before Song Jiu and they can control the panicked crowd, the emergency passage in the center of the tunnel rushed out of the long-starved old friend.

They left in a hurry, and under Song Yao's orders, they only carried weapons and water and food, and the lighting equipment was not taken into account.

Before entering the tunnel, Wu Wentao suggested DIY some simple torches, but there were no available resources on both sides of the tunnel, and the nearest wild forest to them was a few hundred meters below the road.

In desperation, Wu Wentao had no choice but to settle for the next best, and asked the cook Niangjia to help pick out some bedding cotton, press the porcelain and tie it to the top of the obstacle removal knife, dismantle a car mailbox on the spot, and use cotton to stain a lot of dry grease, and the lighter went up and burned for a while, and finally barely made a torch.

The rest of the people did the same, and finally tossed out two dim lighting tools, one for the pathfinder team, one in the middle of the procession, and one in the back of the hall.

The walking corpse appeared very suddenly, because Luo Yu and the others did not find anything unusual in the emergency passage, so the three of them took the first step and opened some distance from the large army, which meant that the sight distance of the people walking in front of the team was limited.

Although Song Yao and Lu Qian's vision of the living corpses could give early warnings, they could not accurately convey the direction they saw to the team behind them, so that while the two women shouted warnings, the team behind them suddenly became chaotic, and even disconnected!

Jin Bo scolded angrily, beckoned the young men guarding the center of the team to run towards the walking corpse, pulled out his long knife and jumped into the vehicle, rushed to the front of the team, and entered the combat position for the first time.

The acne girl panicked and panicked, but she didn't leave the team, she knew how important the torch in her hand was, and tried to squeeze to the front to light Song Yao and the others with a breath, but there was chaos in the team, she was a girl with limited strength, and she couldn't break into the front after squeezing for a long time, but was tripped and fell to the ground by the panicked crowd, and the torch fell off her hand, and was trampled by the chaotic crowd a few times before it was extinguished.

Song Jiu handed the torch to Ying Doudou and escorted him to Wu Wentao's side, Wu Wentao looked indifferent, completely ignoring the crowd that had left the team and fled, the graduate student and he were guarding the safety of Hui Hui and Dr. Zhong together, and he couldn't spare his hands to take care of anything else.

"Take care of it." Song Jiu scolded secretly, pushed Ying Doudou to Wu Wentao, the injured hand was still hanging on his neck, the double knife must not be playing, he could only hold the blade of the blade with one hand, chased after Jin Bo and threw himself in front of the roaring corpse.

Lighting is a big problem, the sound in the tunnel is too good, and the chaotic team helps the harmony, so it is impossible to tell the number of corpses.

Jin Bo and Song Yao have already begun to fight in close quarters, inevitably bouncing and accidentally injured, the young man with the gun has maintained restraint, trying to open a hole with a sharp knife, trying to let the crowded team pass first, but the torches in the team have been extinguished, and the young people's shouting has no effect at all, and for a time the tunnel is in chaos, and the eyes are full of scattered and fleeing figures, and it is completely impossible to distinguish which is the walking corpse and which is the living.

Song Jiu jumped off the roof of the car, waved his hand and lifted off the two skulls, but saw that Yu An had lost his vision and retreated because he had lost his vision, and he actually distanced himself from Song Yao and the others, and he was about to go deep into the emergency channel.

Song Jiu was startled, and hurriedly shouted, Lu Qian on the other side heard his voice, the machete in his hand flew up and down, rolled up a puddle of blood and jumped on the roof of the car at the same time, and quickly walked forward a few steps with a swift pace that did not match the body shape, and jumped in the air, the whole person pounced in front of Yu An, and knocked down a few walking corpses that poked out their claws towards Yu An.

Yu An was startled, and in the confusion, Lu Qian could be distinguished by the voice, Yingjisha's sharp knife slashed frequently, swept over several rushing walking corpses, pulled Lu Qian's arm and retreated sharply, and said loudly: "There is a fence in the emergency passage!" Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Yu An was not dragged in by the walking corpse, but planned to break into the past and close the fence to buy time for the team!

The idea is very good, but it is obviously not realistic, the force of the impact of the corpse group is not something that can be resisted by an individual, fortunately, it is difficult to move forward due to the traffic jam, otherwise if Yu'an really approaches the gate, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come up again.

At this moment, several thunderous gunshots suddenly exploded, and a dazzling fire erupted from a high place, and the line of fire swept by, and the walking corpses surrounding Lu Qian and Yu An immediately fell, freeing up space for retreat.

Song Jiu looked at it, and laughed at the same time with a sigh of relief, sure enough, he didn't care about others, but his body was very honest.

Wu Wentao held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and didn't know when he climbed into a large truck covered with canvas, the height of the truck almost occupied a natural advantage, coupled with Wu Wentao's vision of the living corpse and superb shooting skills, the muzzle fire appeared from time to time, and it was always possible to help the troubled companions clear the evacuation obstacles at the last moment.

"Run!" Wu Wentao let out a tiger roar, suddenly turned the muzzle of the gun and moved towards the team that was still crowded together, and without looking at it, a shuttle of bullets hit it, and immediately a group of people turned on their backs, screaming miserably.

Song Yao's scalp exploded, and a third of the crying crowd fell in an instant, and he was angry and didn't forget to shout loudly.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't run, you'll die!" Wu Wentao will not stop halfway since he started it, he had already pulled out the names of the chef Niangjia and Fang Fei when everyone was rushing to plug the leak, and took advantage of Song Jiu and them to attract the firepower of the walking corpses, and even pushed and shoved a few people to the roof of the car, and after shooting to help Lu Qian and a few people break the siege, he did not hesitate to pull the trigger for life towards the crowded team.

Song Jiu gritted his teeth, grabbed Song Yao, who was still trying to open the way, and said hurriedly: "Go!" Song Yao was stunned, under the black and white vision, Song Jiu's expression was particularly gloomy, seeing his resolute gaze, Song Yao had to sigh, and finally pulled out a girl from the crowd, and ran to the side of the big truck under the cover of Song Jiu.

Luo Yu and Jiao Ziqian had already received a lot of people who had accidentally run out of the fighting range, and when they saw the gunshots exploding from the roof of the car over there, they hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to go over to help or leave with these people first.

Just as he was hesitating, Lu Qian and Yu An, who were the first to break out of the encirclement, also rushed over.

"Get out, get out first!" Lucy was also decisive, and guessed a few points together with the gunshots, since the crowd behind decided to give up, there was no need to continue to fight in the tunnel.

There should be a few emergency passages in the two-kilometer tunnel, and if the walking corpses are all attracted to them, they will not be able to protect themselves.

"Brother Jiu, what about them?" Luo Yu's face turned pale, and Yu Guang saw that there was a rickety figure in the emergency passage behind him, so he immediately stopped hesitating, greeted him, and rushed towards the exit of the tunnel.

"Don't worry, Wu Wentao is with him." Lu Qian comforted, and Yu An ran wildly behind, and when he looked back, the person holding the fire on the roof of the car was gone.
