Chapter 9: Shock
I only felt a chill down my spine, the hairs all over my body stood upside down, and Xiao Zhang stood there like a duck stupid by thunder, his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make any sound, and his eyes were about to bulge out of his sockets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lao Zhao is obviously used to seeing this kind of scene, I saw that his face did not change, he stuck the shotgun behind his back, sneered and slowly pulled out the hunting knife hanging on his waist, and stared at the living corpse lying on the ground with a pair of black and white eyes, as long as this guy made a slight move, he would give it a knife.
We confronted each other in silence, even breathing cautiously, the atmosphere was almost frozen, and there was an indescribable strangeness in the silence.
A poignant laugh broke the momentary silence, and the living corpse suddenly bounced off the ground and attacked first.
This thing also knows the truth of "persimmons should be picked soft pinch", it had seen Lao Zhao's power before, and saw him holding a knife, knowing that he couldn't get anything cheap in his hands, so he picked up the defenseless and looked harmless to humans and animals.
The movement of the living corpse was so fast that I only felt that the black shadow flashed in front of me, and a fishy wind was blowing in my face, and I didn't have time to react, a bloody mouth full of fangs was already covering the top of my head, and if I was bitten down, my head would probably only be half cut off.
Of course, Lao Zhao next to me would not allow such a thing to happen, I saw him cut a knife horizontally, cutting to the door of the living corpse, the living corpse slammed his mouth, "click" and bit on the surface of the knife, and there was a sound of gold and stone blowing, this beast was forced to stop in mid-air, only a slap away from me, and the dirty blood splashed out of its half-pulled head under the action of inertia, and poured down the head and face, making my face all over my face.
The muscles in my face twitched, and I sat on the ground with a soft "poof" in my legs, my heart beating wildly.
Lao Zhao held the handle of the knife with one hand, and put the other hand on the wrist of this hand, his arms and shoulders collapsed at the same time, and he fell into a big tree next to him, and he heard a loud "bang", the living corpse slammed into the tree, and a series of broken bones came from its body, and even a few broken ribs pierced the chest and exposed, and the hunting knife slipped from between its teeth, cutting its cheeks, and sprinkled a fan-shaped rain of blood in the air.
The pungent smell of blood made me feel very uncomfortable, and I tried twice with my hands on the ground, but I couldn't get up, I could only turn my head and retch.
The biggest difference between a living corpse and a human being is that this thing doesn't feel pain at all, and the functions are ridiculously strong, if a normal person is beaten like this, he will definitely die, and this living corpse seems to be fine, fell to the ground and rolled twice, and pounced on Lao Zhao.
At this moment, a dark cloud obscured the moon, and the whole forest fell into the darkness of not being able to reach out to the five fingers, the darkness at this time was very terrible, and it also made people feel very helpless, my eyes lost their effect, and I could only use my nose to sniff the slightly putrid fragrance of the damp earth after the rain and the pungent smell of blood mixed together to form the inexplicable smell, and listen to the various sounds in the forest with my ears, the sound of fighting, the sound of collision, the sound of heartbeat, the sound of breathing, the sound of footsteps, and the muffled sound of the blade piercing the flesh from time to time, mixed together, making a noise.
A blinding white light suddenly shot out from the side and hit a large thick tree, casting the light in all directions under the effect of diffuse reflection, forming a considerable field of light in the fog, allowing us to see everything that was happening in the forest.
Lao Zhao held the hunting knife in his backhand, his back to us, his chest rose and fell rhythmically, and there were a few tearing marks on his clothes, but there was no bloodshed, it should be no injury, and three or four meters away from him, the living corpse was crawling at a very strange angle, and his body was covered with dense knife wounds, and blood flowed all over the ground.
The battle was far from over, both sides were facing each other, looking for the best time to strike, and that light was emitted by the strong flashlight in Xiao Zhang's hand.
"You two go first, follow the route marked on the phone, the blue dot is our location, wait for me near the Jedo Village, Zhao Ye will accompany this beast to move its muscles and bones, let it see my skills." Lao Zhao held the knife in one hand, reached into his pocket with the other hand, took out the mobile phone, and threw it to Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang stretched out his hand, but did not receive it, and let the mobile phone fall to the ground.
When Lao Zhao was doing this series of actions, his eyes were always staring at the living corpse, and he didn't move a minute, although he seemed to be at ease in the first few encounters, but I knew that he would definitely not be easy, if he really won the game, then he would definitely not let us go first, that is to say, now he does not have the ability to keep us safe and sound, and I don't know who will kill the deer.
I stood up with my hands propped up, turned around and wanted to walk, but found that my legs were so weak that they were as soft as noodles, and I couldn't move a bite, I hurriedly bit the tip of my tongue with my teeth, and the severe pain temporarily freed me from the shackles of tension and fear, Xiao Zhang picked up the phone, and the two of us supported each other, and stumbled into the depths of the forest.
It's not that the two of us escaped from the battle and were greedy for life and afraid of death, and we didn't talk about the righteousness of our buddies at all, but it was because the combat effectiveness of the two of us was frighteningly low, and we didn't even have the ability to deliver food to others.
If I had to name anything more painful, it would be to have to move quickly in the woods with twenty pounds of equipment on my back in the middle of the night when the moon was dark and the wind was high, and I had to move quickly through the woods with the trees and dead branches and leaves everywhere under the threat of death.
After the bruised nose and swollen face, I finally had some experience, and although my legs and feet were still bloodied by unknown vines, and I still tripped over them often, at least I didn't hit the tree like I had just done.
Ten minutes later, I stumbled under my feet and fell to the ground, no longer having the strength to get up, so I simply lay on the ground with a grunt, watching the sky gasp for air.
Although Xiao Zhang was a little thinner than me and a little better physically than me, he was also tired enough, and he stood there and listened intently for a while, and after making sure that the living corpse did not follow, he took off his backpack and sat down against a tree, gasping for a while.
I don't know how long it took, I struggled to get up from the ground, I only felt a sore muscle in my calf, I think it was already strained, and it was easy to relax after strenuous exercise.
"Hand on," Xiao Zhang said weakly, and stretched out his hand to me, and it took me a lot of effort to pull him up, and the two of us scratched the lock screen, put the miner's lamp on our heads, supported each other, and limped on, with soft steps, crooked like two drunks.
Walking and walking, Xiao Zhang suddenly stopped there, I was about to ask him what was going on, he suddenly made a "silence" gesture at me, I held my breath and stared, pricked up my ears to listen carefully, sure enough, there was a strange sound behind the bushes in front, it seemed that someone was talking.
Could it be Old Man Zhou's gang?
Xiao Zhang and I held our breath, walked over gently, slowly brushed away the dense bushes with our hands, and looked in with courage, the first thing that caught our eyes was a burning bonfire, and then the barbecue on the fire, our noses should be a little out of order, and we didn't smell it.
A group of people sat around the bonfire, led by the "Uncle Zhou", the bearded man did not come, it should have been abolished by Lao Zhao, but there were still a few faces in their team, a short man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks and two women, one of whom we didn't know, but the other turned to ashes I could recognize, it was the girl who opened a restaurant in the center of Python Town.
"Who?!" The old man surnamed Zhou suddenly looked at us, and two fine lights burst out of his eyes.
My heart sank, and I immediately untied the double-barreled shotgun behind my back, ready to fight them at any time, anyway, I have been discovered, and I will inevitably die.
Xiao Zhang held me down and told me not to act rashly, and I heard a "rustling" sound from the other side, apparently something moving quickly in the bushes, and then the woman in the team let out a scream, almost tearing my eardrums.
The old man let out a few muffled curses, then a few deafening gunshots and a stumble of footsteps, and at last it all ended with a creepy scream, and everything was silent again, and the forest was enveloped in a deathly silence, oppressive and dull.
Time passed minute by minute, Xiao Zhang and I kept lying there looking at each other, finally, I mustered up the courage and gently brushed away a bush in front of my face, and then, I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life.
On the ground next to the campfire, there were several corpses lying horizontally, all of them dying in very strange ways, but they were all different, I really can't describe the miserable situation, the hellish scene, just one look, in this life, I will never want to see a second look.
The living corpse, the living corpse that was beaten by Lao Zhao and was incomplete, was lying on the body of the old man Zhou at the moment, its claws had already cut open the old man's belly, pulled out a long intestine, biting, swallowing, and the old man's eyes bulged out, staring wide, and he was actually dead.
Blood permeated the solemn ground beneath his feet, and under the hazy moonlight, it was unusually red......
