Chapter 67: Soldiers Descend on the City
The snow is getting lighter and lighter, and the Spring Festival is approaching. Cao Ping's village does not have a festive atmosphere. To be alive in the last days is the greatest joy. Everything else is fart.
Cao Ping smoked the last cigarette, Wu Xiaoming and Liu Lichen watched from the side, this time they did not ask Cao Ping for a cigarette, because they knew what important issue Cao Ping was thinking.
Throwing the cigarette butt far away, the "...... hiss" was a collision between the flames and the ice and snow spirits. Cao Ping sighed, "It's decided." ”
Looking at Cao Ping's relieved face, Wu Xiaoming and Liu Lichen knew that Cao Ping had already had the answer to the question he was thinking about.
Cao Ping looked at the two of them and said with a smile on his face: "It's decided, let's stew cabbage at noon today." I can't stand the hype."
Looking at Cao Ping's smiling face, Wu Xiaoming and Liu Lichen really wanted to slap him. It turns out that smoking is thinking about what to eat for dinner. They all scolded shamelessly and turned to leave.
Cao Ping looked at the two with contempt on their faces, and said with a smile: "What's the matter...... OK, OK...... I pulled out my last can of food. ”
Wu Xiaoming and Liu Lichen turned around, but their expressions were different, Wu Xiaoming was pleasantly surprised to have meat to eat tonight. But Liu Lichen looked serious and asked in a low voice, "You have decided." ”
Cao Ping didn't look at Wu Xiaoming, and said to Liu Lichen: "Well, it's decided, it's over this Spring Festival." Tomorrow when the snow stops, we'll go. ”
Wu Xiaoming looked at the two of them in a daze, and instantly knew what they meant, and asked with a serious face: "Don't you think about it?" ”
Looking at the laughing people in the house, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, although there is no festive atmosphere, but because the Spring Festival has a little smile, Cao Ping doesn't know how they will react after telling them the news of leaving. To be honest, Cao Ping didn't want to leave at all, especially not wanting to leave this season. However, thinking of Li Jie, Cao Ping felt uneasy in his heart. Has Matsumoto already told Li Jie the news of him and Qian Zhixin? When will they come? If he and Qian Zhixin leave, will Li Jie let go of this group of men, women and children.
No one knew the answer, but Cao Ping didn't dare to take that risk. So, he decided to leave the village after this Spring Festival.
But the world is never so perfect, and it doesn't leave everyone with a chance to get lucky.
Almost at the moment when Cao Ping made up his mind, the sound of "Da Da ......" sounded.
Everyone looked at the intersection into the village in horror, because they heard not just one gunshot, but the screeching of a dozen guns.
Liu Lichen patted Cao Ping and said with a sneer: "Look, some people are more anxious than you." You don't have to hesitate this time. ”
Looking at everyone's faces, Cao Ping's face was a little ugly. A group of men, women, and children, almost old, weak, sick and disabled. At this moment when the soldiers were approaching the city, Cao Ping had no heart to resist at all, and he wanted to slap himself.
You can't resist, and there's no chance of resisting. Cao Ping thought for a few seconds and yelled at the others, "Hurry up...... Run to the cliff in the mountains. Go to the secret stronghold mentioned earlier. Xiao Ming, after Liu Lichen's break. The rest of the people hurry up. ”
In the distance, Li Jie's troops were advancing little by little, and more than a dozen guns swept away the zombies attracted by the corpse of the stick country before.
There was nothing to clean up, and all of them were dressed in clumsy pajamas and running over the snowy mountains interlaced with bushes.
Contrary to Cao Ping's expectations, Gao Kexue also took the initiative to ask to stay and break off, in his words: "The trouble you have caused, you have to resist." ”
Cao Ping looked at the expression of death, and he especially wanted to laugh, did he think that the dozen or so people opposite were coming for him?
When he saw the black clothes on the other side, Liu Lichen knew that it was Li Jie's people who came, and the purpose must be Cao Ping and Qian Zhixin. However, Cao Ping didn't say anything meanly, just smiled. After all, there is one more person, and Chen Xiaoxiao and they also have one more chance to escape.
Li Jie's people are getting closer and closer, Cao Ping clenched his fists, and he couldn't imagine that this Spring Festival would be spent in gunsmoke.
According to Liu Lichen, several of them would ambush a wave in the village, and then quickly hide in the mountains. In Liu Lichen's words, the mountains and forests ambushed him Liu Lichen is an ancestor. In fact, Cao Ping knew that this was to comfort him, because this snow-capped hillside didn't even have a stone to cover it, so he ambushed a fart.
Li Jie's men had approached the fence built by Wu Xiaoming at the head of the village to hinder the zombies. However, the seemingly solid fence was only hindered for a second before it was kicked and crushed.
Cao Ping, who was lying at the head of the village, looked carefully at Li Jie's nearly 20 subordinates, and because no one knew what Li Jie looked like, they didn't dare to act rashly. But it is expected that Li Jie will not be able to come to arrest Cao Ping in person on the evening of the Spring Festival.
Liu Lichen lurked under a broken grass pile at the head of the village, looking at one person after another walking in front of him, he remained motionless until everyone walked by, he jumped violently, pressed the last outlier to him, and then dragged him into the grass. It was almost instantaneous, so fast that the rest of Li Jie's subordinates didn't notice it.
Liu Lichen pressed the person struggling in front of him and whispered in his ear: "Don't move, I'm stabbing you to death." Say, are you also here to catch Cao Ping? But you're late, and we've already taken him. ”
The man felt his back being pressed against something sharp, and he didn't struggle, he didn't dare to move, and he wanted to say something. Liu Lichen said again, "I let go, you dare to shout, I will abolish you immediately." ”
The man nodded vigorously, and Liu Lichen slowly let go of his hand. The man said in a low voice: "Brother, we are also here to arrest Cao Ping, we are Li Jie's people, which force does the brother belong to." Now that my brother has succeeded, we ......" Before he could speak, his eyes widened violently, his mouth opened wide, and he wanted to say nothing but could not say anything, and his hands were already vigorously covering his bleeding neck.
Liu Lichen abolished the man with a knife, climbed out of the grass, and nodded at Cao Ping in the distance.
Looking at Liu Lichen's conversation, Cao Ping knew that he had determined that the person who came was indeed Li Jie's person.
Since it is Li Jie's person, and he is indeed here to arrest them, there is no need to show mercy to his subordinates.
Cao Ping made a neck-cutting gesture at Liu Lichen, Liu Lichen smiled cruelly, and disappeared near the grass.
One...... Two......
When Liu Lichen ambushed the five people, the team finally discovered that something was wrong, they couldn't imagine that they had been very careful, or they were ambushed, and they didn't know how to attack from that direction.
Seeing that they were already on alert, Liu Lichen knew that there was no longer a chance to ambush. I could only fight hard, converged with Cao Ping, and gave the three guns I got to Wu Xiaoming and Gao Kexue. Cao Ping silently didn't take the gun, because he really didn't know how to use this kind of rifle, so he silently took out the pistol from his waist.
followed Liu Lichen around to the front of the team, patiently squatting behind a broken house, waiting for Liu Lichen's gesture. Cao Ping asked in a low voice, "Don't you fight?" ”
Liu Lichen, who looked at the team intently, shook his head gently, as if he didn't want to speak, but he still quickly explained: "Shoot now, their fire will instantly concentrate on us, if they run out of patience, they will definitely have to move forward, then they will instinctively aim more guns behind them, and we will shoot on time, and we can kill more people." ”
Speaking of killing, Cao Ping still can't overcome the sadness of that sin, they are all human beings, why should they kill each other in this scarred apocalypse. But Cao Ping knew that when he pressed the trigger of the pistol in the next second, he was out of helplessness and self-preservation. Therefore, when Liu Lichen made a gesture, Cao Ping still gritted his teeth and aimed his gun at a living person. It is also about to feel the pain of killing the living for the first time.
"Da Da ......" Liu Lichen's marksmanship was very accurate, almost half of the people were killed with a shuttle of bullets, and the rest were almost crippled and injured by Cao Ping and the others.
Looking at the dead and wounded in one place, Cao Ping actually did not have the sadness or guilt he imagined. But there was a hint of excitement, and he still remembered that the last time this excitement appeared, it was when he killed a dozen zombies in a row when he left the house for the first time alone. It turns out that killing people is so easy, so simple...... Even so pleasant.
Cao Ping felt the thoughts in his heart and shuddered.
Liu Lichen approached and confirmed that they were Li Jie's people again, and then they were all shot and killed. His calm expression made Cao Ping almost unrecognizable to him.
Fortunately, the crisis has been resolved. Cao Ping asked Wu Xiaoming to call Chen Xiaoxiao and the others down the mountain. Then think about when to leave this right place.
The sound of "da-da-......" gunshots rang out again.
Cao Ping and the four of them looked at the mountainside in the distance with shocked expressions, which was where Chen Xiaoxiao and the others were going.
Gritted his teeth and rushed to the mountainside. It turned out that Li Jie sent not a team, and he didn't expect that there was a pair of outflanked people behind him.
PS: My baby is only a few months old, but today I went to the hospital with a fever overnight. Finally, it was found to be caused by urethral interference. So, I'm not sure how many chapters I can write today. Due to the fact that the manuscript was sent out on a business trip a few days ago. So this chapter was also written in the early hours of the morning. I'm fighting for the second half of the night in a more chapter. But there is no guarantee, because I have to get up early tomorrow to take the baby for a urine test.
