Chapter Twenty-Five: The Reappearance of the Walking Dead and the Vanishing Camp

Lailey's scalp exploded and she screamed.

The change happened so suddenly that Laili reacted half a beat slower, and her body retreated in fright, but her feet did not follow, and she immediately fell to the ground on her back.

The walking corpse, almost face-to-face, grabbed her arm, and as soon as she fell, she threw herself on top of her body, screaming and biting at Riley's face.

After a brief moment of stunned, the battle instinct regained the heights, holding the head of the walking corpse with his left hand, and the gunner with his right hand poked straight into the hollow eye socket of the corpse, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

'Bang'

The sound of gunfire echoed far through the canyon.

Laili pushed away the walking corpse and sat up, unscrewed the lid from the water bladder on her waist, threw her head on her face, and rinsed away the brain filth that burst out of the walking corpse's head, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really evil, and I just thought that even if there is a walking corpse now, it is no different from rotten wood, but I turned my face and sent her a fresh walking corpse full of flesh and blood.

Riley was simply puzzled, she was still young in the years of the Walking Dead Mania, and the survivor team she followed was in a safe corner, and she had hardly suffered a large-scale impact. By the time she was old enough to fight, the antibody vaccine had already been delivered, and The Walking Dead was basically coming to an end.

Who would have thought that today, a few years after the death of the walking corpse, she would actually encounter a tender and delicious walking corpse???

Laili sat on the earthwork table, her ups and downs gradually calming down, and slowly realizing that things might not be as simple as she heard and seen.

At the root of it, the crux should still be in the black fog.

But now that the black fog has disappeared, the whereabouts of the team members are unknown, and the places where they are very different from before, and they don't know where to start if they want to think about a reason.

"Laili, Laili, you're really too reckless this time." Laili held her forehead, regretting it, the wind in her ears was still there, vaguely mixed with the sound of the crowd.

"Huh?" Riley woke up suddenly, and listened quietly.

Not hallucinations, as if there was a real sound, it was coming from inside the Dome Fishery.

Laili was excited, and hurriedly jumped off the earth platform and turned back, running while distinguishing the sound, but the closer to the source of the sound, the more strange the sound sounded.

When she ran into the canyon and stood in front of the rope bridge again, her expectations were disappointed, and she became nervous again.

The rope bridge was empty, not the team members she had imagined, and the cacophony became clear...... It was clearly the sound of the roar of the walking corpse...... It's not one or two, listening to this movement, I'm afraid it's a group of corpses, and the corpses are moving.

"Yes." It dawned on Riley that the shot she had just fired must have alarmed the corpses.

Laili 10,000 couldn't figure it out, how could there be a group of corpses in the reservoir that was empty just now?

No one gave her an answer, and the noisy roars were getting closer, and there were already walking corpses climbing the trail and appearing on the other side of the rope bridge.

Riley carries some ammo and weapons, but judging by the sound of the surging crowd of walking corpses, her ammo is definitely insufficient. And the current situation is unpredictable, who knows what else is besides the walking corpse, in case there is a new change when the ammunition is exhausted, then wouldn't it be just to sit and wait for death?

So Laili decisively turned around and fled, intending to temporarily avoid the front of the corpse.

Laili ran just as the thunder sparked the earth, and the walking corpse on the other side of the rope bridge found the target, roared, and stumbled towards it.

Laili looked back, almost scared away, although the walking corpse faltered, but the way of travel was clearly running! Why do the walking corpses here actually run away???

In this stunned effort, the leading corpse had already crossed the rope bridge, and the target was directly at Laili.

Laili was shocked, and she couldn't care much about it in a panic, so she hurriedly opened fire and shot the two walking corpses who had already run into the canyon on the spot. The geographical environment of the canyon is like a natural megaphone, which collects and amplifies the gunshots, and then spreads out, causing the corpses to become more and more frenzied. As far as the eye can see, the entire rope bridge is filled with walking corpses, and there seems to be a steady stream of walking corpses climbing up behind the trail.

"It's over."

Laili turned pale and desperate, if this place was occupied by the walking corpses, then she really couldn't go back. What if the black fog returns at night, and the rope bridge is full of walking corpses?

Thinking of the question of the way home, Laili stopped suddenly, gritted her teeth and crossed her heart, took out the black and shiny Uzi submachine gun from her backpack, stuffed a stack of magazines into the neckline, bit a cigarette, and pulled the trigger towards the crowd of corpses that swarmed into the sky, and went upstream.

For a while, the gunfire in the canyon was loud, equal to the roar of the walking corpses, and the flesh and blood flew in the sky, turning into the Shura battlefield again.

Laili held the gun in both hands, and she went forward, the muzzle of the gun spewed fire, and more and more bullet casings were scattered on the ground, and in front of her, the influx of walking corpses was building a high wall with flesh and blood stumps.

&&&

Sunny days, domed fishing grounds, reservoirs, scorching sun, calm and silent.

A group of people formed their own group, and under the leadership of Zheng Nannan and Hu Qi, they returned the same way and returned to the edge of the rope bridge through the canyon path.

Zheng Nannan and Hu Qiu, who were standing at the front of the team, showed different faces and were suspicious.

In Hu Qiu's view, there is no doubt that Zheng Nannan's indescribable speculation should have come true again.

The others climbed up one after another, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they were all as if they had been struck by lightning and were petrified on the spot.

From crossing the rope bridge to the reservoir, stopping for a while and then turning back again.

The whole trip would not last more than an hour, and during this period, Zheng Nannan and his party did not encounter any trouble.

But such an ordinary and tedious action caused another change.

The other end of the rope bridge, that is, the side where Zheng Nannan and the others were camped, was empty.

Before leaving, Hu arranged for a large number of gunmen to stay behind, on the one hand, to take care of Hong Xiangcai, and on the other hand, to think that if there was a problem on the reservoir side, at least there would be a reserve team to help.

However, the scene in front of them caused everyone's brain cells to die on the spot.

The people who stayed behind are gone.

Tents, equipment, supplies, are gone.

Zheng Nannan's palms were oozing with sweat, his brows were tightly locked, trying to find some clues from his chaotic thoughts.

Tang Garlic and the three daughters are worried, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

"They're not going to slip away, are they?" Hu Qi's eyes widened in anger and he strode across the rope bridge, but the camp was as if no one had ever come, and there was no trace of being stationed or evacuated.

Zheng Nannan and the others also followed, and when they saw this scene, they all panicked, and they all turned their eyes to Zheng Nannan, who looked the most calm.

"Boss, what the hell is this......"

As smart as Tang Garlic, he was also stunned at this time, his mind was blank, and he was full of questions, and he didn't know where to start.

"Go out and have a look." Zheng Nannan has words of suffering, it seems that he is confident, but in fact he is also confused.

Although he had judged that the black mist was the entrance to the hive last night, he had never seen such a hive after all.

Zheng Nannan realized that something was wrong, his guess by the reservoir was correct, the hive effect did still exist, but he couldn't figure out what form this influence was running in at the moment.

Therefore, Zheng Nannan intends to look beyond the fishing grounds, if the entire fishing grounds are within the influence of the hive, then the longer they stay here, the more likely other accidents will happen.

Zheng Nannan originally intended to go and return quickly, but the others firmly disagreed.

Tang Garlic and the others were worried that Zheng Nannan would make a mistake alone and could not rest assured of him, while the gunmen were worried about their own comfort, for fear that if Zheng Nannan left, they would disappear like the last left-behind team.

In desperation, the team had no choice but to move forward together, forming a long snake into the first line of heaven and walking towards the outside of the canyon.

Halfway through the trip, Zheng Nannan suddenly remembered something and asked Shaman, "Can you still smell the fragrance now?" ”

Shaman was stunned by his question, and immediately reacted, frowned and sniffed, and said strangely: "No... Nope. ”

Hu forced his eyes to roll and speculated, "Could it be that we have inhaled something hallucinating?" ”

Tang Garlic shook his head and denied: "Probably not, there is no vegetation in the canyon at all, and the stones will never smell, right?" ”

"It's hard to say." Shu Onion also participated, and analyzed: "Didn't the boss say that the beehive will affect the surrounding landforms and creatures?" I've heard that some stones can catch fire. ”

"Hallucinogenic is unlikely." Zheng Nannan frowned and thought for a while, and said: "It's okay for one or two people to say, there are so many of us, it is impossible for us to be hallucinated at the same time, and we still maintain the same cognition." ”

Although the taste hallucinogenic theory was stillborn, Zheng Nannan still had doubts in his heart, and only Shaman smelled the smell of the whole team, and everyone didn't take this episode seriously at that time.

Now that something has happened, and the smell is gone, it's a bit of a coincidence.

In addition, on the way before entering the fishing ground, Zheng Nannan has always had a very bad feeling, like a fish in his throat, and he can't understand the essentials. At this point, the ominousness had been fulfilled, but the uneasy feeling had not gone away. He stayed at the reservoir for a while, not just to watch the fish. Without Hu Qi and the others noticing, he tried to contact Meng Chang and them, but failed.

This is a huge blow to Zheng Nannan, and the impact is no less than what happened to the fishery.

You know, since the advent of synaesthesia, he has never experienced such a feeling of all-round loss of contact at this time.

This is not the effect of taking blockers, but it is real, and it is impossible to sense Jin Ling, Meng Chang and Luo Li, as if synaesthesia is blocked in the hive field of the fishing ground.

This made Zheng Nannan feel very uncertain.

The reason why there was no danger along the way was precisely because Jin Ling and Meng Chang could always help him at critical moments, but now without their help, Zheng Nannan is also isolated and helpless, and can only rely on his own judgment to act.

The first line of sky soon came to an end, and the sun was scorching outside the canyon, and the sand and dust were rolling.

Zheng Nannan and the others suffered from the same problem as Laili.

The cars they left outside the fishing grounds were all gone.

The fishing ground is still the same fishing ground, and the ruins of the abandoned market are still there, as are the wreckage of abandoned and rusty vehicles, and there are traces of human activity everywhere and a large amount of garbage.

Only the convoy of their group was gone.

The more Hu forced thought about it, the more wrong it became, twisting his beard and muttering, "Damn, have we been tricked?" How do I feel...... What kind of trap do we seem to have fallen into? Trick us in and make some weird things, and then take advantage of our foggy cars and equipment to go? ”

A group of gunmen felt that the nonsense was very reasonable, and only this speculation was the most down-to-earth and in line with the current situation.

Tang Garlic glanced at Zheng Nannan, who squinted slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Boss, do you have a clue?" Tang Garlic asked in a low voice.

Zheng Nannan sighed and said helplessly: "Wait for it to get dark a little longer, and see if the black fog will appear at night." ”

When everyone heard this, they were disappointed, and after a long time, this backbone was also crossing the river by feeling the stones.

The team had to spread out on the spot and rest.

There is no other way, everyone's nerves are tense enough, since there is no next step, it doesn't hurt to sit down and recuperate, just prepare for the night.

Outside the canyon, there is no shelter from the mountains, and the invasion of the scorching sun and wind and sand is a little unbearable.

There was an atmosphere of frustration and confusion in the team, and the two leading men sat on their own high places, not knowing what they were thinking.

The clouds rolled, the sky darkened, some fell asleep, some woke up.

Zheng Nannan, who was sitting on the earthen platform and smoking, suddenly stood up, and put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance.

Tang Garlic and a few people below noticed something strange and hurriedly woke up Hu Jiao.

Hu Qi hadn't woken up from his sleep, picked out his eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"The boss seems to have discovered something." Tang Garlic pointed to Zheng Nannan on the earth platform.

The gunmen also gathered under the platform, their faces nervous and whispering.

"Tang Garlic, give me the telescope." Zheng Nannan roared.

Tang Garlic hurriedly took out the binoculars from his bag and threw them on.

Zheng Nannan spit out the cigarette butt, set up the binoculars, and on the winding road as far as the eye could see, a fiery red sports car chased the stars and the moon, and went straight to the fishing ground.
