Chapter 5 Craters
Due to the loss of the cloak of forest protection, the rocks are severely weathered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as Wang Ling's feet moved, he immediately sensed the danger and retracted like lightning. Where it had fallen, the ground sank and rocks rolled down, quickly forming a cave.
"Be careful." Liu Wen said with concern.
"Let's go."
He glanced at the dark, deep cavern and continued on his way.
The surrounding mountains and forests are sparse, and the mountain road is gentle, and a small road extends ahead.
"There's not a single corpse on the way." Wang Ling looked around and muttered.
"It's okay, let's go there first." Liu Wen looked ahead and said.
"Well, anyway, let's go there first, if you really can't find it, you have to study the map carefully, after all, the mission only gave some hints, and didn't give a specific location." Wang Ling pondered.
Liu Wen nodded, also thought of something, took out the map and said, "Let's study while walking." ”
After finishing speaking, on the way, she looked at the map while moving forward, and after walking for a while, Liu Wen put the map away.
Seeing his appearance, Wang Ling smiled, "You've found it?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Wen nodded, "We're on the right path, it's just ahead." ”
"Okay." Wang Ling cheered up, "If it is true, then there should be corpses on the road." ”
"Of course there is."
"Leave these corpses to me." Wang Ling was eager to try, and he hadn't dealt with those corpses just now.
"It's good to leave it to you, but be safe." Liu Wen reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm wearing gloves now, and there are fewer places where corpses can bite." Wang Ling waved his palm.
"Even so, you can't be careless, you must know that as long as a small mouthful of those viruses and a little blood can infect the body, as long as they are poisoned, no one can recover it." Liu Wen's face became more solemn, and she said uneasily: "If you encounter a corpse in the future, you should leave it to me." ”
"It's okay, I can do it." Wang Ling insisted: "If you don't exercise a little more now, if you encounter danger in the future, it will be even more difficult to deal with." ”
Liu Wen's face was moved, and her face showed hesitation, "Then you promise me that you must not let the corpse bite, even if it is stained with a little blood." ”
"No problem." Wang Ling said.
"Okay, I also promise you, as long as the corpses you encounter are not dangerous, I will let you exercise."
"I'll be fine, even if someone else dies, I won't die." Wang Ling was happy.
"Let's go."
Wang Ling nodded, and the two continued to walk forward.
Time passed slowly, and unconsciously, when Wang Ling looked up at the sky, he found that it was already afternoon, and it had been more than half a day since they left the settlement area.
"Why haven't you yet?"
"It's a bit far, indeed."
"Do you have to spend the night in the wilderness?"
Wild nights can be much more dangerous than daytime, and not only corpses will appear, but people will also be tired and prone to accidents. And if they can't find it today, they will have to continue looking for it tomorrow, and even if they do, it will take a lot of time to return to the settlement, and then their situation will be even more dangerous.
Liu Wen raised his head while walking and saw a big mountain appear in front of him, he first looked at it for a moment, and then confirmed: "It's almost here." ”
"This is it." Wang Ling saw that a mountain road stretched out from the mountain area where they were located, and submerged into the big mountain, on both sides of the road, the wind and rocks stood steeply, sandwiching the mountain road in the middle, the mountain road was very crowded and narrow, and the narrowest place could only accommodate one person to pass.
In such a dangerous place, there may be corpses, you know, corpses can appear anywhere. With a look of interest on his face, he kept looking at the canyon, "Let's go there and have a look." ”
Canyon, standing at the mouth of the valley, Wang Ling felt a strong wind coming, with a warm breath in the wind, he was not afraid at all, looked at the dark road, did not enter the end of the canyon, and walked down the slope.
"Be careful." Wang Ling helped Liu Wen while exploring the way.
"Slow down, there may be danger here, and if there are corpses, it will be much more dangerous than in the wasteland." Liu Wen reminded.
In the wasteland, they encountered corpses and could escape, but here, there was only forward and backward, how could they not worry him.
Wang Ling nodded, now he was not alone, his eyes became careful. After walking for a while, he began to grow bolder and faster.
Cheerful ahead, Wang Ling walked out of the canyon and looked at the mountains in front of him.
"This is where the corpse man's lair is, but there are no corpse people." Wang Ling felt strange.
He saw a rock, the stone here was very fragile, and if a corpse passed by, it might leave some marks.
Now on that rock, a little bit of damage can be seen, faintly forming the shape of a claw. Wang Ling compared, this claw is almost the size of an adult, and it is very likely to be a corpse.
Footprints were also found on the ground, as well as blood stains. Wang Ling saw a sharp stone with thick blood stains hanging on it.
"It looks like a corpse." Liu Wen deliberately leaned over and sniffed it, speculating without doubt.
"Follow the footprints to find, you may find the nest." Wang Ling was already looking into the distance.
They searched for it, but the trail of the corpse was intermittent, and finally disappeared when they reached a cliff. Wang Ling's face showed unwillingness, and he looked around carefully. Liu Wen was also not far away, looking in the other direction.
"The target that was finally found was broken again, did you find it?"
Liu Wen shook her head, raised her eyes, and immediately said in surprise: "Let's see what this is?" ”
Wang Ling immediately walked over, and in mid-air, a black backpack fell into his sight, this backpack was hanging on the wall, one was broken, and the other was hanging from a dead log. The backpack was not high away from them, Wang Ling looked at it for a while, and directly picked up a stone and shot it down.
The backpack fell to the ground, and it seemed to be too badly broken, and the zipper immediately collapsed, and the contents fell out.
A bright dagger was immediately revealed, along with some food, water, and clothing.
These clothes are obviously worn by men, and judging by the size of the clothes, the other party must be an explorer. Wang Ling was not interested in those clothes, picked up the dagger, tried it, rummaged through the bag again, and suddenly a short sword, a pistol whose name he didn't know, a few bullets, and even some bank cards.
These weapons can be put away, and everything else, including food and water, can be thrown away, and the backpack is stained with blood, and it is believed that the owner has already met with an accident, and the blood may contain the virus.
Liu Wen took the short sword with great interest, his physique was delicate, this sword was only two feet long, which was just right. Intrigued, she danced, and her face immediately showed satisfaction.
"Give." Wang Ling handed it over again.
Seeing the pistol handed over by Wang Ling, Liu Wen thought for a moment, then shook her head, "You have it well, the pistol is not very effective for the corpse." Such a weapon can only shoot first-level corpses, and for second-level corpses, using a pistol can only be a dead end, because second-level corpses have far surpassed first-level corpses in terms of speed and strength, and are enough to dodge bullets. ”
"Okay." Wang Ling put away the pistol himself, and all the bullets in the chamber were all in good condition, and the other bullets were put away.
The figures of several corpses slowly appeared on the road ahead, and the originally slow steps, after seeing them, immediately accelerated, and even the air seemed to be filled with the smell of corpses.
Wang Ling looked at these corpses, his eyes were thoughtful; Instead of rushing forward, he took out the pistol.
The gun had just been obtained, and it was the first time he had come into contact with a ranged weapon, and he wanted to see how powerful it was.
The trigger was pulled, and a bullet came out of the chamber, and then, the flames burst into flames, densely pounced on the corpse. The corpse was drowned by bullets, and immediately some people fell, and a few of the rest of the people also limped up, and their movements were even more sluggish, Wang Ling was surprised, he didn't expect that the power was not bad, this was a lot easier than those swords. However, hot weapons are indeed not as convenient as swords, and even first-level corpses cannot be killed with one hit.
The bullets were quickly gone, and he put away his pistol, picked up his machete, and took a step to meet a corpse.
The shadow of the knife passed by the corpse, and his figure did not stop at all, and the corpse's body stumbled and fell to the ground. Wang Ling didn't go to see the fate of the corpse man, and had already started a scuffle with the rest of the corpses.
"My knife skills are not sharp, the angle is more delicate." Wang Ling felt his sword skills while fighting.
With a flick of his arm, the shadow of the knife flew out, and a corpse man roared his arm to resist, and with a bang, the shadow of the knife only cut off one arm, but did not touch the corpse. When this scene fell, Wang Ling's eyes moved, and an arrow stepped forward, the momentum was unstoppable, and the corpse was cut off by him.
"My pace just now is good, if the length of the weapon is not enough or the opponent is dexterous enough to touch the opponent, you can use it, and you can achieve a surprise attack effect." Wang Ling said in his mouth, still not paying attention to the corpse buried under the knife.
The rest of the corpses continued to surround them, all of them were occupied and controlled by the virus, using human identities as puppets, with no sense of danger at all.
"It's good to come, just to experiment with the body method I just comprehended." Wang Ling's eyes were full of confidence.
The shadow of the knife swirled, turned, slashed, slashed, slashed, swept, and the corpses fell.
During the battle, Wang Ling suddenly rushed forward, and the machete slashed directly at a corpse.
With two "poofs", the corpse's head flew up, and no one behind him was spared.
"That's a good move." Wang Ling was overjoyed.
The corpses were emptied, and Wang Ling and Liu Wen continued to hurry, and a mountain path fell down from the valley and gently sank into a huge pit-like mountain col.
This is it, and the task they have to do is here.
Wang Ling's face was full of anticipation, he had just learned a move, and he had already simulated it in his heart no less than a thousand times, just waiting to continue to verify the knife technique. But the imaginary scene of the corpse army not appearing, but a corpse fell far to the ground.
"What's going on?" Wang Ling had a premonition.
"Let's take a look." Liu Wen's brows furrowed.
When they came closer, they saw this corpse clearly, it seemed that it had been dead for a long time, and the blood had dried up, of course, these corpses did not have fresh blood, and they were easy to dry out when exposed, but in Wang Ling's opinion, it didn't matter.
They continued to walk inside, the terrain was getting lower and lower, and they could see that pieces of air-dried stones appeared all around, some were full of holes, and some had already turned into gravel, but Wang Ling turned a blind eye, and he saw the corpses again, not one, but more than a dozen, piled up on top of each other, and behind the corpse pile, there were traces that had been searched.
"Let's go."
In the huge pit in front of him, the corpses were messy, black and pressed, head to head, body to body, the number was about thousands, it was really unprecedented, Wang Ling looked at this scene with a thoughtful gaze.
"It looks like someone has already been here, and depending on the situation, the mission has been completed."
"Then our mission will be null and void." Liu Wen smiled wryly, and opened her mouth a little unwillingly.
"Let's go, since the mission is invalid, we can't go back empty-handed, and look for prey on the way." Wang Ling said.
After listening to his words, Liu Wen nodded, "That's all it can be." ”
The two of them returned the way they came, but as soon as they came out of the canyon, they immediately changed direction and walked in the other direction, and now they had plenty of food and water, and they did not have to worry about the long delay.
