Chapter 59: Divergence
Brother Ergou, Brother Chen? Could this young man be Chen Ergou?
The shouts of the people who came made Lu Ming and them stunned, and then Meng Da grabbed the young man's shoulders and took a closer look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Holy, really! They had only seen Chen Ergou on the movie screen before, but it was definitely not the appearance of being emaciated and vicissitudes now, thinking that hiding in Tibet these days had caused a certain impact. In addition, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly, and everyone really didn't recognize him as Chen Ergou who everyone had been looking for.
Chen Ergou was a little hairy by him, but after all, he was a man, and he gritted his teeth and admitted: "Yes, I am the Chen Ergou you are looking for!" I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know your purpose, and we didn't seem to have met each other. β
At this time, the person who shouted Chen Ergou also walked quickly to everyone, it turned out to be a black bull, and I saw him shouting in a panic: "Brother Ergou, it's not good, it's not good!" A tide of corpses is coming, not far from us! β
Chen Ergou's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he no longer cared about why Lu Ming and they were looking for him, but hurriedly asked Hei Niu, "How come?" Didn't you staggered a few days ago, how did you catch up so quickly? How far is it from our camp? β
"The news brought back by the patrol brother is less than a kilometer away from us."
When Chen Ergou heard this, he couldn't hold his breath anymore. Less than a kilometer, wouldn't it be closer to the camp than where they are now, and if they collided head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable. So he pulled the black bull and ran back, but was stopped by Meng Da.
"I've sent you here, what else do you want. Go away, lives are at stake! β
"Chen Ergou, where is Su Marie?"
Chen Ergou just wanted to leave, but Meng Da's words stopped him again, and he said with a puzzled face: "Who are you?" How did you come to know Mary? β
"Chen Ergou, believe it or not, we are here to help you and Su Marie, so we urgently need to see her in person."
"This... Mary is in the camp, if you are really here to help, come with me, the tide of corpses is coming. Lu Ming's rhetoric obviously made Chen Ergou a little suspicious, he was originally an enemy, but now he has become a person who helps himself, no one can adapt to this conversion method quickly, but thinking that the corpse tide is coming, one more person will have more strength, he still told the truth.
For Lu Ming and them, they were naturally very happy, but they didn't expect that there was nowhere to find them when they stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get them. They actually found Chen Ergou crookedly, and Su Marie was also in front of them, it seems that the task at this stage is guaranteed, but a new term has attracted Lu Ming.
"What do you mean by corpse tide?"
"What? Haven't you met along the way? There's no time, let's talk as we go. β
On the way back to the camp, Chen Ergou finally explained clearly what the corpse tide is, in fact, it is a bunch of zombies gathered together, a big sweep in a fixed direction, this kind of sweeping is extremely destructive, the place passed is absolutely not an inch of grass, there will be no signs of life at all, Chen Ergou They have met twice before, once they were lucky to dodge, a head-on encounter, and it took sixty or seventy people to get rid of it.
"What is the average number of zombies in the corpse tide?"
"There are as few as one or two hundred, as many as thousands, and some of them have a kind of black zombie in them, which is extremely difficult to deal with. Killed a lot of us last time! β
A few people ran and talked, and soon approached the camp, but the whole camp seemed a little noisy, and the situation seemed to be a little bad.
"What's going on?" As soon as Chen Ergou came back, he asked the people in the camp, and only then did someone tremble and say, "Everyone is packing up their things and preparing to run." But some people said that they didn't bring these old and weak women and children, and they were afraid of dragging everyone back, so they quarreled. β
"Damn, I forgot the rules I set before, who proposed it?"
"Yes, it's Zhao Lei...
"Zhao Lei, Zhao Lei, you come out for me!" Chen Ergou shouted in public, obviously giving up the practice of old and weak women and children made him very angry.
"Yo, isn't this Boss Chen, who was put back so quickly?"
Chen Ergou ignored the other party's slightly sarcastic words, but glared angrily: "Let me ask you, did you say that you want to give up these old and weak women and children?" Have you forgotten the principle we agreed on before, not to give up on any of the survivors? What do you mean by that? β
"There's no way I can do this, these people are dragging us back too much, last time it was because we had to cover their evacuation, how many brothers did we lose, but what use is it for us to save these people?"
"Your conscience has let the dog eat it, and there are also the elders and relatives of your village, and you just ignore it? If you're afraid of death, get out of here, I'll definitely take these people with me. β
"Chen Ergou! Don't be so naΓ―ve! I wonder how you got to where you are now. You say I have no conscience, I'm cowardly? When the didn't I rush to the front when I killed zombies, and did I make this decision just for my own sake? I'm not doing it for the good of the majority.
There are five or six hundred zombies in this corpse tide, which is not something we can deal with at all, and if we don't make this decision, everyone will die here, and there will be no hope at all. If you don't believe me, ask everyone to see if they support me or support you! Zhao Lei was also a little annoyed, he had been holding back his anger before for this seemingly decisive but actually idealistic big brother, and now that he had torn his face, he simply had nothing to say.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ergou, who seemed to be quite supported before, was "betrayed" this time, most people, especially young adults, stood on Zhao Lei's side, and even some old people voluntarily gave up hope of life and chose to support Zhao Lei.
"Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han. You four have forgotten who saved you in the first place, so why don't you come to me quickly. When the black bull behind Chen Ergou saw this situation, he was naturally angry, and the four men named by him also lowered their heads in shame, but their footsteps did not move at all.
"Leader Chen, listen to Lei Zi, we old arms and legs really can't run, and following behind can only drag you down. As long as you live, it means that we still have hope! β
"Uncle Liu, you...
Chen Ergou didn't expect that even these people who were about to be abandoned would stand up and speak for Zhao Lei, was he really wrong?
"Chen Ergou, there is no time, if you don't make a decision, everyone will die. Can you please stop being so stubborn! Hearing that the zombie army was getting closer and closer, Zhao Lei also issued an ultimatum.
"Zhao Lei, you take everyone to go first, I will stay and share the hardships with these old and weak women and children, maybe your approach is right, but I can't give up my heart, here is my uncle from the same village, there is my woman, I can't go alone!"
"Hey!" Zhao Lei sighed, and then shouted: "Everyone follow me, let's hide on the mountain in front, the corpse tide is in a straight line, as long as you dodge it, it'll be fine." β
With Zhao Lei's raising of his arms and shouting, the camp was empty after a while, leaving only the old and weak women and children and Chen Ergou!
