244 Iron pickaxe
"Brother Jie, isn't it too quiet here?"
The man who had been silent in the back stepped forward to remind.
Applejack gestures for everyone to stop, then glances around, not seeing anything wrong.
"This should be the same as Longkou Town back then, when the zombies had not yet broken out, thousands of people in the town fled together and ran to Jiangcheng, the provincial capital, leaving us with an empty city, and it is estimated that it is the same here, the countrymen have a lower ability to distinguish rumors, and when they saw that the people in the town had fled and fled, they also ran away together."
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy took the initiative to show off his ingenuity again.
Zhao Xinghua, who was left behind, followed step by step with a cane, and he saw several ponds and some mounds in the village on the side of the road, and a fishy smell came from there.
Zhao Xinghua slowly approached the almost dry pond with a wooden stick, he could feel a hint of danger coming from here, but if something really rushed out suddenly, he couldn't outrun the others, and it was best to be able to deal with it before the danger came.
Seeing an iron pickaxe thrown on the ground, thinking that it was thrown here by the villagers when they were resting for fish soup, Zhao Xinghua bent down and picked it up, the wooden handle was made of thick poplar wood, and the T-shaped pickaxe head was pointed at one end and a duckbill at the other end, which was also very common on the construction site in the past. I took it in my hand, it was very weighty, although it was still in the dirt for a long time, the wooden handle was covered with mud, and the pickaxe was rusty, but as a weapon, it was still much stronger than the wooden stick in my hand. The fangs dagger is still tied to the calf, and now the legs and feet are inconvenient, and it is too much of a loss to fight with zombies or evolution beasts, if there are not many zombies, it is still very safe to rely on this iron pickaxe.
"Cripple, hurry up, what are you picking that up for? You don't want to farm here, do you? โ
The sharp-beaked monkey's name is Ding Baoli, a little clever, and he is not very convinced by Applejack's captain, but he is afraid of his five-fourth pistol, so he doesn't dare to make any small moves, but he always positions himself in the role of vice captain or military advisor, except for Applejack's girlfriend Lily, he has always pointed fingers at everyone to strengthen his authority. Applejack had just said that he would share some of the spoils equally among the cripples, without asking for his opinion, which made him feel a little resentful.
Now seeing that Zhao Xinghua broke away from the team and walked to the side, and picked up a broken copper and iron, he said sarcastically.
Seeing Zhao Xinghua making a silent gesture to himself, standing quietly in place and ignoring himself, Ding Baoli was a little angry. This cripple doesn't take himself too seriously.
"There's no time to wait for you, hurry up! Who you think you are. โ
Zhao Xinghua was still standing there motionless.
"I'm grass, how are you not only lame, but now you're dumb?"
Ding Baoli is really angry, this person is a fart if he thinks of himself? He pulled out a heavy bone cleaver from his waist and slashed twice into the air, releasing his murderous aura, hoping to stop the cripple who looked like a fool over there. Then he walked towards Zhao Xinghua angrily.
"Ding Baoli, be careful!"
Lily was careful, and had already noticed that Zhao Xinghua's expression was wrong, so she reminded her.
It's a pity that her reminder made Ding Baoli think that she was to be careful of the cripple, and she suddenly felt despised again, and her face was even more unbearable, so she accelerated her pace with a bone chopping knife, although she didn't really cut him in front of the lame, but it was certain to kick him hard, and it also let him know that he should respect the old people in the team after the newcomer.
As soon as Zhao Xinghua took the iron pickaxe in his hand, he felt that the ground under his feet was slightly floating, and the foul-smelling mound was even more obvious, and something was drilling into it. He didn't know what it was, but the creature buried in the earth must have been quite small, and it was coming in his own direction, which only meant that it was here to find food, and it was definitely not here to see the excitement.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy not far away shouted loudly, diverting the attention of the creatures under the mound, and slowly turned around and approached there, Zhao Xinghua held the pickaxe handle in his right hand and was ready to send out a full blow, he only had one chance, he couldn't kill the other party at once, and he had no chance to run away.
As Ding Baoli approached Zhao Xinghua, it also made him have a trace of concern in his heart, he and Zhao Xinghua met on the first day, and he didn't know what this person's character and temper were, if he was really a stubborn person, he didn't have the iron pickaxe in his hand now with a bone chopping knife, if he really started with himself, could he dodge it? Ding Baoli's heart also began to rise and fall, and after the apocalypse, the number of zombies he killed was more than a dozen, but he really hadn't cut people. This kind of battle of will has always been only for the weak side, the fox fake tiger is a little hobby to earn face, suppressing newcomers This is his little hobby, but in the face of being stronger than himself or stubborn temper, he will choose to back down, and Zhao Xinghua in front of him makes him unable to figure out the details. The lame man, who looked fair-skinned, didn't seem to look panicked and helpless, and still stood there so calmly, not even looking at himself.
When he was about to get close to Zhao Xinghua, Ding Baoli was a little weak-hearted, this guy didn't look at himself with a straight face, he didn't give himself face, did he have no fear or how to drop? Thinking of calling his best friend, the boy with a pimple-covered face came to clean up the cripple, and suddenly he thought of the question he had ignored before, what did Lily mean by yelling at herself to be careful?
Ding Baoli suddenly held his footsteps, he followed Zhao Xinghua's gaze and looked to the side, :
"Ah~!"
Almost at the same time as his scream, a huge triangular head suddenly came out of the mound, opened its mouth and arrived in front of him in an instant, a powerful suction force came from the mouth of the blood basin, Ding Baoli was no longer able to stand firm, screaming in astonishment while his body took the initiative to lean towards the monster's mouth, and even forgot the existence of the bone chopping knife in his hand.
With a light suction, Ding Baoli hit the monster's teeth, and there was a "Ah~!" He fainted directly.
Several other people not far away were also stunned by the sudden scene.
What is this!
What they saw was similar to what Ding Baoli had personally experienced, and somehow a huge triangular head would come out of the ground, and then at the moment when Ding Baoli was about to take the initiative to feed the entrance, the picture stopped, and the bloody mouth was fixed there as if it had crashed.
After a long time, Captain Applejack asked in a trembling voice:
"What, what's going on~?"
"Oh, this thing came out of the ground and scared the skinny man."
"Soโwhat's that?"
"I don't know, it looks like a big snake."
Zhao Xinghua shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression.
"Is Baoli dead?"
The big boy with pimples on his face asked.
"No, I think it's just scared."
Zhao Xinghua's crutches had been thrown to the ground before, and the iron pickaxe was also embedded in the monster's skull, and now his body was missing a support point, so he could only use his left leg to jump, jumping two or three times, and when he arrived in front of Ding Baoli, he bent down and measured his snort.
"Why didn't that big snake move?"
Applejack has pulled out her pistol and is aiming it with both hands.
"I was killed by mistake."
"I missed and died~!"
