Chapter 227: Walking Alone
The soul-hunting soldiers were still frolicking in the river, and some of the soldiers had already started to catch crayfish, and everyone had a lot of fun. After more than two hours of higging, the soul-hunting soldiers were considered to have had enough, so they began to camp in place. Some large tents were also erected.
As soon as the camp was set up slightly, the soldiers were supposed to patrol and train, and the logistics personnel began to be busy cooking. Zhang Qiru and the others stayed in the car, watching Yang Xiaoqi use a drone to explore the nearby situation. It has to be said that the forest here is so dense that it is almost impossible to see the situation under the trees from the air, and only a few places can see a few square meters of ground, so to speak, this place can be completely detached from aerial surveillance.
Zhang Qiru has always not liked the unknown environment around him, so he decided to explore it himself. So, half an hour later, Zhang Qiru took the equipment and prepared to go deep into the jungle alone.
Zhang Qiru didn't go very fast, he swallowed slowly. This time he planned to spend more time in the jungle, and he wanted to learn more about the area, including the surrounding animals, plants, and even human settlements. Zhang Qiru knew that they would need to stay somewhere for a period of time, and it would be possible for a few years, so he attached great importance to the safety of each station, and would also treat each station as a long-term station.
Zhang Qiru walked unhurriedly for more than an hour, and it was more than ten miles away from the station. Zhang Qiru didn't find any dangerous animals at this distance, they were all small animals, and no zombies were found. The jungle was so quiet that Zhang Qiru could only hear the sound of himself stepping on the plants.
However, Zhang Qiru was not confused by the superficial appearance, and he had a clear feeling that someone had been here! Although the weeds and fallen leaves on the ground have been covered many times, Zhang Qiru can still vaguely see traces of being stepped on in some places, although it is not obvious.
Zhang Qiru looked at the surroundings carefully, he was sure that he was not the only one in this lush forest.
Zhang Qiru thought about it for a moment, and felt that he should use a knife instead of a gun. Because there are so many trees here that you can obstruct your view everywhere, if you have a master, you may be very close. And the guns are too long, which is very unsuitable for melee combat with quick reactions. So Zhang Qiru took out a knife, which he specially selected, with a moderate length and a very sharp edge.
After walking for about an hour, Zhang Qiru came to a small river. He roughly judged that this river should be the one where they were stationed. Zhang Qiru did not go directly to the river to see, but stayed not far from the river, staring at the jungle on the other side of the river. Despite being separated by a river, Zhang Qiru saw that there were some special situations in the jungle opposite.
Zhang Qiru thought about it, if it was him, he would also be stationed by the river, just as the soul hunter chose now. If the Soul Hunter doesn't have a vehicle, then he will also choose to be in the depths of the jungle, although it may seem dangerous, but it is actually relatively safe, as long as it is protected, the evolved animals are not very good at dealing with it - unless humans can intrude on them. There is water, sunshine, and food by the river, and it is a very suitable place to live; The jungle is secluded and can be hidden from outsiders - all in all, it is a good place to be stationed.
Zhang Qiru did not plan to cross the river during the day to investigate the situation. Although the river is not wide, it is also an open area of tens of meters, and the probability of swimming directly to find it is infinitely close to 100%, so it is better to take advantage of the dark. So Zhang Qiru decided to wait for darkness in the same place.
In order to ensure his safety, Zhang Qiru climbed directly to the tree and hid in the bushes, no one could find him unless he walked very close.
Zhang Qiru sat on a tree, leaning against a tree trunk, meditating with his eyes closed. He's a man who loves to remember, especially after all the hardships he's been through. Every time he recalls, the first thing he thinks of is always his parents and relatives, and that tragic scene often reappears in his dreams. Zhang Qidao also talked to Zhang Qiru about this, but Zhang Qiru was still very entangled and couldn't completely let go no matter what. In fact, Zhang Qiru can't be blamed for this, no matter who experiences such a scene, it will always leave a deep psychological shadow, like Zhang Qiru, although he has not come out of the shadows, but he has not given up on himself, it is already very good.
In addition to his parents, he often thought about his "family history", and he now understands why people used to always say that usually a person's history is often accompanied by war and death. Every time he thinks of how he has grown up the soul hunter step by step, he always unconsciously thinks of those bloody pictures: starting from the first man he killed, every time he transforms, death is always inevitable, whether it is himself or the soul hunter, he always grows on the death of others - especially since he once killed nearly a hundred people at one time, although he is a heinous person, but who dares to say that there is no one in it who does not die for his crimes?
With blood-stained hands, killing people while saving people, Zhang Qiru is always hovering between good guys and bad guys. He always wondered, should everyone he killed be killed? Do you have to kill? When he thinks about whether to kill or not to kill, is it a virgin heart or indecision?
"No, stability built on endless slaughter is not really stability." Zhang Qiru said in his heart, "What people need most is stability based on harmony, and I do have a thirst for killing sometimes, and occasionally create some motives for killing, which is not what I should do!" ”
It is true that it is important to strike first and ensure your own safety comes first, but not always you need to kill to achieve it. Zhang Qiru even felt that he was a little poisoned by the apocalypse, and his mind was full of killing in exchange for peace......
A self-made person has a very strong concentration. Zhang Qiru stayed almost motionless on the tree, constantly thinking, thinking about his own behavior, and thinking about the future of soul hunting. After all, the soul hunter is not born in a primitive society, but a society whose civilization is on the verge of shattering, and he cannot fully follow the violent laws of the primitive society, otherwise he can only disappear in the last days - in any case, the vast majority of people in the last days are favored by civilized society, including the state, which is also a trend. If there is anything that thousands of years of history have taught him, it is that anyone who wants to act against the trend of history is defeated by history and eventually disappears into the long river of history.
Zhang Qiru had some thoughts, and his mind was much more stable. Feeling a little sleepy, he even began to take a nap in the tree, which is not quite in line with his always cautious character, probably because being a qualified boss is too tired, right?
