Chapter 12: Scavenging
When it seemed to be dawn, Locke got out of bed.
Maybe it's because he has been sleeping in bed once for so many days, and although the bed in the hotel is very comfortable, Locke always feels a little awkward.
Obviously there was a chance to sleep in, but Locke woke up early.
It's like a person who is late for work every day, but wakes up at 6 o'clock on the weekend, and many people know the suffering.
Although it was ten years early, after this sleep, Locke only felt that there was a trace of comfort in his whole body, even in the cracks of his bones.
This refreshing taste can be regarded as a complete wash away the fatigue of Locke sleeping on the grass a few days ago.
Locke had thought he was sure to be the first of them to get up.
But I didn't expect Alan and Andrew to wake up before dawn, and now the two are preparing their tools to go.
Where are you going to ask them?
Of course, it was to go around the town to look for supplies, after all, the whole hotel is now full of two big people, but they all need to eat.
When Locke heard that Alan and Andrew were going out to look for supplies, he suddenly became interested, and he was busy changing into the undershirt and big pants that Eren had lent him last night, and after eating a calorie-filled canned cow's head with the two, he left the hotel on time and headed to his destination.
Before leaving, Locke had planned to take a look at Hillia's condition before leaving.
But when Locke looked at his watch, he found that it was only a quarter past five in the morning, and Locke thought that Hillia must not have gotten up so early, so he did not think to wake her up from her good dreams.
Everything was ready, and the three of them arrived at the location where they had parked yesterday with a suit of gear.
Sure enough, as Alan said, there will be a few roaming zombies nearby every time the parking location is located, which is the first test of going out today.
Roaming zombies belong to the lowest level of zombies, and it is this roaming zombie that mutates the most after being infected in this plague, accounting for almost half of the total number of infected people, and the rate is really not small.
Roaming zombies move slightly slower, much slower than an adult run, but faster than a normal human walking, somewhere in between.
Their main way of attacking humans is the same as that of normal people.
Of course, compared to their sharp teeth, it is still much more fatal to be bitten by them.
Probably due to the mutation, most zombies now have much larger teeth than normal people, just like the enhanced version of the dog's teeth, but they are much sharper than the dog's teeth.
A bite means infection, infection means mutation, and then you slowly wait to become one of them.
Of course, in the case of being bitten, there are also people who will choose to end their lives directly, after all, not everyone wants to be the walking dead, and they would rather not have this way of being.
The moment he saw these roaming zombies, Locke was ready to shoot them, after all, this is the fastest option of all the ways to deal with zombies.
However, Andrew prevented Locke's reckless behavior.
The sound of gunfire is bound to attract the attention of nearby zombies, and Andrew doesn't want to see a large meal of zombies surrounding their car every day when he leaves the car.
Andrew and Alan each pulled out a bright machete from their backpacks, and Andrew motioned for Alan to act together through his eyes.
The two came to the front of these roaming zombies, only to see that when the two of them raised their knives and fell, the zombies' heads turned in half.
For a while, the brains of the slashed zombies collapsed, and the scene was like soy milk spurting out of the brain.
And it was the brains mixed with blood bursting out together, coupled with the zombies' hideous expressions that refused to close their eyes for a long time before they died, not to mention how disgusting this scene was.
When Locke saw this, he instantly felt his stomach turn upside down.
Locke slammed the car door open, forced himself to the side of the road, and threw up all the food he had eaten in the morning.
Seeing that Locke vomited heavily, Alan hurriedly came to his side and slapped him on the back, so that at least he could vomit more cleanly what Locke had eaten in the morning.
After all, it was the first time for Locke to see such a bloody scene, and he couldn't accept it for a while, and Alan knew that as long as he let Locke spit it out, he would feel better if he encountered this situation in the future......
……
……
After breaking through the skulls of all the zombies around him, Andrew came to Locke's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder, saying, "Young man, this is just the beginning, and it is not so easy to collect supplies in the city. ”
With the help of Allen, Locke poured a few sips of mineral water and said after a long time: "I, I know very well, rest assured, this is the first and last time I will vomit." ”
"Wow......" Locke spat again.
When Andrew saw Locke's appearance, he smiled and said, "Hehe! That's what Allen said on his first day. ”
Alan was also helpless when he heard Andrew say this.
I didn't expect to be shot while lying down, but Andrew's mouth was damaged, and he didn't show mercy to himself at all.
After cleaning up the roaming zombies nearby, the three of them got into a small yellow car and set off for the block north of the town, officially starting their journey of scavenging.
The main reason for saying that it is scavenging is that there is a scrap yard in the north of the town, which no one would normally want to come to, but now if you want to get some critical supplies, this scrap yard is crucial, with countless treasures in it that may meet all your material needs.
Scavenging is such a miraculous thing in the midst of this apocalypse.
Along the way, you can often see zombies infested, but the speed of zombies is also limited, and they are still far behind compared to cars.
Andrew quietly drove the little yellow car, probably a little early, Alan was now catching up on sleep, and the car was quiet for a while.
Nothing to say all the way......
……
……
After about half an hour, Andrew found a relatively private place and parked the little yellow car.
The three of them got out of the car and carefully observed the surroundings, and saw that there was no zombie around, so they left the little yellow car and prepared to walk into the scrap yard they had mentioned earlier.
It's not that Andrew doesn't want to drive, but from here, there are frequent zombies around, so the three of them think it's better to sneak into the scrap yard quietly.
Quietly enter the village, don't shoot, this is exactly the effect that the three of them want.
The distance between the parking location and the scrap yard is only one kilometer, which is not very far.
Along the way, there are many roaming zombies, all of whom died tragically under the butcher's knives of Alan and Andrew, and Locke also had to admire the melee combat effectiveness of the two.
The collision between the two and these roaming zombies is like the relationship between a seasoned hunter and his prey, and it can be seen that Andrew and Alan have long been accustomed to this kind of thing.
In this way, the three of them arrived at the door of this scrap yard as they wished.
The scrap yard was so big that it couldn't be seen at all glances, and Locke thought that maybe the entire Trout scrap would be shipped here.
"We're now divided into two groups, one of my own, and Alan and Rock form a group."
"I'm looking for supplies from the left, and you are looking for things from the right, and you'll be sure to come back here in an hour, and be sure to come back here in an hour."
"After an hour, if the person on either side has not arrived, we will wait for another half an hour, if the person has not arrived, I will not wait for you here, you don't have to wait for me, I put the car key on the car, you just drive away and leave me alone."
Locke and Alan listened carefully to Andrew's instructions and nodded knowingly.
Andrew's meaning by this is obvious, he wants to reduce the casualties of the real team.
After all, many things are beyond manpower in this apocalypse, and perhaps reducing casualties is the only way to remain invincible.
In the end, Andrew accurately timed his watch with Locke, and then the three of them divided into two teams to enter the scrapyard from the left and right.
