Chapter 17: The Man of Jiangxin Island
Zhao Changguang lay in the shade of the tree, the sun gradually rose at this time, and in the early morning, he was busy all morning, licking countless leaves, there were blades of grass, there were leaves, and even a few plastic bags that were thrown to him were sucked by him like a treasure. But until the sun rose and dried the dew from the leaves, he still felt thirsty.
I couldn't help laughing at myself in my heart, ironic enough, lying on a small island in the fork of the river that was flooded, but I was going to die of thirst!
Zhao Changguang couldn't feel the hunger in his stomach anymore, maybe because he hadn't eaten for too long, his stomach was already a little numb from hunger, and the last wild duck egg he ate yesterday afternoon had already been digested.
On this small island in the fork of the river, he has been breathing for three days and three nights. At this time, he was full of despair.
The mind even begins to consciously or unconsciously recall every stage of life:
When I was in elementary school, I still owed 2 cents to the commissary at the entrance of the school, and I didn't pay it back after graduating from elementary school, I don't know if the boss still remembers, and occasionally mention whether he will scold a few words.
What was it like to touch the hands of female classmates for the first time in high school?,It's so innocent at the beginning.,If you were bolder.。 Ban Hua may have been chased by him!
When my wife and I went on the first date, did I give her roses or peonies?
When Xiao Dan was born, did he give his name or was it given by his brother-in-law? That girl was in love with the kid she was beaten by herself, and she seemed to be in touch again a while ago. But this time, I said that I couldn't beat anyone......
Wang Erbai of the Economic Investigation Brigade still owes himself 3,000 yuan......
All sorts of thoughts flashed through my mind. Zhao Changguang began to feel that the sunlight shining through the mottled leaves in front of him was not so dazzling. Is this going to die? It seems that someone has stuffed ice cubes into my brain, and my nerves are jumping and hurting terribly.
His nose began to ask a little smoke, who is burning the wasteland again?
In the winter of last year, the institute sent all the cadres and police officers to various towns and villages to watch the farmers not let the farmers go to wasteland, because they issued documents to ban the burning of straw to protect the environment.
At that time, he still scoffed at this ban, bullshit to protect the environment, not to burn straw, how to farm in the spring of the next year? If you don't introduce some useful policies, it's useless to just watch it hard!
Later, when the spring began, the farmers petitioned, but the government had no choice but to allow the farmers to continue burning the land before the spring planting.
At that time, Xiao Liu was also angry and scolded himself for the heads of those officials!
Alas! Xiao Liu's sacrifice has been sacrificed, but it is good to sacrifice, at least he doesn't have to lie on this small island in the middle of the river like himself to blow the wind and wait for death, but he has a good time.
Why is the smell of smoke getting louder and louder? The already vague consciousness was choked by the smell of smoke that grew older and thicker.
Someone set fire! There are living people!
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Changguang's mind, and then his heart trembled, and he simply got up from the ground neatly. Run to the edge of the island and look for it.
Finally, in the direction of the embankment, the source of the smoke wafted out. I saw that more than 100 meters upstream on the embankment, a large area of fire has been lit, although there is no wind, but this season in the north is already the time for the grass to wither and the leaves fall. As soon as the flames flickered, a large area burst out as if gasoline had been poured on it.
Who set the fire?
He has no time to care about whether the fire is spreading, in this world, even the hundreds of armed policemen who came that night can't stop the zombie invasion, what if there are guns and cannons, it's not that hundreds of people have been wiped out in this riverside wasteland, and now the outside may not be able to tell what has become of chaos.
Set a fire on this wasteland, even if he is a policeman, but at the moment of life and death, he has no time to take care of it.
If possible, if he hadn't died on this damn Jiangxin Island, if he could still have the opportunity to meet his wife and Dandan, as long as this arsonist could save him ashore, what did he have to do with this fire that burned the entire Binjiang City?
Finally, on the embankment by the river, he saw a man in a dark blue jacket. The man had a 95 automatic rifle on his back, and he was hunched down, far away from the burning meadow. Under the dirt line less than half a meter high on the wasteland and the river embankment, he walked cautiously towards the river.
"Don't go into the water!"
Zhao Changguang's heart was about to jump out of his throat. Hurriedly reminded loudly of the man who set the fire.
Three nights ago, he decisively paddled to swim into the river to avoid the pursuit of zombies, and fled to Jiangxin Island with him, as well as the soldier called Xiao Qi who came down in a helicopter.
Because it was too late, the gunfire and screams on the river bank and on the embankment rang out again, and in the black light and fire, neither of them acted rashly, until after dawn, the soldier named Xiao Qi was anxious to leave the island and look for his heroic female captain.
When Zhao Changguang was hesitating whether to go into the water with him, he found that Xiao Qi, who had just swam more than ten meters away from the water, let out a miserable scream, and then the river water boiled as if it was boiling. Zhao Changguang saw a large black fish more than half a meter long throwing its tail out of the river. From time to time, a few big black fish tails were thrown out of the river, and the well-trained elite warriors fluttered like this after a few times. There was only time to let out a scream, and then disappeared into the river.
Zhao Changguang, who was already eager to swim down, ran back to the center of the island with a roll. I no longer dared to think of the river approaching, and I never dared to drink half of the water in the river.
Chen Xiaowu, who was cautiously trying to stick to the half-meter-high soil edge by the river, touched the camp and was frightened by a sudden shout in the river.
The zombies that were relatively close to him hundreds of meters in front of him also stopped swaying, and several turned their heads in the direction of the river, as if they were also listening carefully to the source of the sound.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaowu hurriedly lay on the ground and didn't dare to move, and scolded in his heart: Where the fuck is the bastard! Shout out at this time!
After Zhao Changguang shouted, he found that the man by the river was frightened by his shout and fell to the ground, and he didn't move to the river, and he was relieved, and then he noticed that the zombies who usually wandered in the wasteland on the shore looked in the direction of the river at this time, and also understood that his shout almost killed the person on the shore, so he hurriedly shut up, but continued to wave his arms excitedly, trying to attract the attention of the man who was lying on the ground and observing everywhere.
Chen Xiaowu looked at it for a while, and finally saw a middle-aged man in a police uniform on the bank of a fork in the river, and he was suddenly angry.
The middle-aged policeman was waving his arms emotionally at this time, constantly beckoning himself. Seeing it, I was about to continue to shout to myself. Thinking of this, Chen Xiaowu, who wanted to ignore him, hurriedly raised a hand, and made a gesture to let the other party lie down in anger, praying in his heart that this big fool X would never shout again.
The policeman seemed to see his gesture, and sure enough, he stopped waving his hand, and took a few steps back, but threw a look at himself eagerly.
Chen Xiaowu cursed again in his heart, and when he saw that he had already pacified the policeman, he turned back and stopped looking at him, but instead observed the fire.
By this time, the fire had completely spread. The wasteland along the river is very dense with various cattails and wild grasses, and when they are ignited, they begin to spread along the vegetation and spread from afar.
In the effort of this meeting, a range of hundreds of meters has been burned to black ash. A few zombies close to the line of fire became restless.
The smoke blackened their eyes, which were already not very sensitive. The choking smell also made them a little irritated, but until the fire had reached their feet, even igniting their clothes, turning them into a burning mass of fire people, they still maintained a slightly irritable pace, shaking in place and not knowing how to dodge.
The fire drove out a few rabbits and various rats and insects hiding in the wasteland, and the zombies that smelled of flesh and blood began to go berserk, pounced on the rats scattered by their pursuers.
One, two, three....... Chen Xiaowu silently looked at the zombies closest to his camp.
I saw that the zombies were also attracted by the movements of their companions, and the few zombies that were originally swaying in the camp left the camp with the movement, followed by other zombies, chasing and fighting.
All this development is beyond Chen Xiaowu's imagination. Originally, he was just a little unwilling to work hard for more than three hours, but he was ruined by the zombies all over the ground to destroy his original plan, and the * and his camping supplies were all in vain.
With a disgusting attitude, I want to set fire to it.
As a result, the fire burned bigger and bigger, not only did a "fire burn Boye" but also carried it with him, and "the sound of the east and the west" was carried out, at this time, these rats running around were really gods!
Seeing the three zombies leaving the camp, his heart was alive again, and he decided to observe the meeting to see if he could be careful to get closer to his kayak. As long as you can quickly push the boat into the river, even if the zombies hundreds of meters away chase them into the river, you can take a picture of them in the river with one oar.
When the time comes, it will be strong and he will be strong, the fifth brother will burn the essence, and he will be crossed by him! A small boat across the river!
So he bent down and ran briskly to his kayak by the river.
Fifty meters, thirty meters. The terrain near the camp is a little high, when I chose the camp, I folded between the wasteland and the river beach, and chose the open slope, which resulted in the fact that there is a distance of more than ten meters on the way to the tent that I will lose the soil line and weeds, so there is a great chance of being found by zombies!
Chen Xiaowu raised his head and quickly judged that the nearest zombie was about a hundred meters away from the camp. Haven't noticed yourself at this point! If you run to the edge of the camp in five seconds, even if you are immediately discovered by zombies, you will probably have less than 20 seconds to push the boat into the river.
Twenty meters. Ten meters, good, the zombies haven't found themselves near the camp yet. He had clearly seen the live broadcast stand when he was camping.
Chen Xiaowu quickly flashed to the tent, and at this time the tent was already able to cover his body, and the situation was much better than when he ran on the river beach just now.
Even so, Chen Xiaowu felt that his heart had jumped to his throat. He began to regret his reckless actions. Even if there is anything on board, it is not as important as your own life!
But it has come to this point, and so far it is relatively smooth. Chen Xiaowu quietly put away the sleeping bag in the tent, the emergency light and some small bits and pieces of outdoor tools. The cat was put on his own boat. He gently untied the rope that held the hull in place.
I looked back. Well, the zombies are still happily playing hide and seek with the rats.
With a glance, I suddenly saw the mobile phone that had fallen to pieces three days ago when I was angry and fell to the ground.
Will Sister Shiyin contact herself and send a message to herself?
The idea popped into the head of the demon. Why do you still keep thinking about Sister Shiyin?
Randomly reacted immediately, how could he not worry about her?
The longing for the woman who has been with him for almost 20 years, the woman who is about to become someone else's bride, has long melted into his bones.
If she sends a message to herself, even one. If you miss it, will you regret it?
The mobile phone was dropped by him about ten meters away from the camp, and it was between him and the zombies at this time. If you're careful, you shouldn't be noticed.
Chen Xiaowu secretly weighed in his heart, but his feet had already preceded his thoughts and quietly paced over the tent in the direction of his mobile phone.
One step, two steps, three steps, when Chen Xiaowu was still a few meters away from the phone, suddenly a cool black hand struggled to grab his face.
Chen Xiaowu was suddenly frightened!
There is even a zombie in this bush that he has never found!
