Chapter 12: The enemy is in Liu Gezhuang
The closer to the town of Liugezhuang, the more open the valley became, coupled with the weak moonlight, the fog, and the ridge of the remaining veins of Mount Tai in the distance blended with the twilight, which made Xu Wanhu have the illusion of driving on the plain.
There were more cars on the road gradually, some from the southwest of Licheng, and some from Liugezhuang Town to the north.
Some people are like headless flies looking for a place where they think they are safe, and some people are like Xu Wanhu, who are alone in a foreign land, worried about their parents, wives and children at home, and have to rush home as desperately.
Fortunately, the two-way four-lane G104 can accommodate six or seven cars side by side, but it does not cause traffic jams.
The lights on the provincial road resemble a string of festive lights, dotted in the valley twilight.
At the entrance to the town, there are hundreds of red, white, and yellow "holiday lights" coiled together.
It turned out that there was a gas station at the entrance to the town, and the staff had already run away, and the fleeing people had unlocked the oil guns, and dozens of cars were rushing to refuel. There was no one to command at the scene, and some people were in a hurry to escape and cut in line, but the innermost people couldn't get in and out, and they were all crowded together.
It's only a dozen kilometers to drive over with a full tank of fuel, and there is still a lot of fuel, so it's not worth the time here.
It is now 7:55 p.m., according to the broadcast of Shuangfeng City's emergency broadcast, ten minutes ago, a wave of monsters appeared in Taishan City. Under the attack of the monster, the defense line composed of armed police soldiers and police was breached, and the monster wrapped the zombies out of the encirclement and began to attack the people who had not had time to evacuate the city.
In the dream memory, after 8 o'clock Beijing time, the monster farming point will reach the county seat and larger towns.
Shuangfeng City in front of it will definitely not be able to escape the monster, and the population of Liu Gezhuang Town is not small, Xu Wanhu doesn't know if it will catch up with the head wave here.
According to the information that Xu Wanhu searched in the morning, the total population of Liugezhuang Town is more than 50,000 people, and there is no clear statistics on the population of the town, but he estimates that there are more than 10,000 people. So many people are concentrated in a small valley, which is not a small number. Looking at the appearance of these people still having time to refuel, the initial zombie infection should be controlled.
From the current point of view, zombies also have some intelligence, and when they are surrounded and suppressed, they will find a place to hide first. There must also be zombies in Liu Gezhuang who have slipped through the net and are hiding in a corner, just waiting for the monster to come out and bring a wave.
"What if a cataclysm breaks out in the town?" Xu Wanhu told Xia Fan what he knew and his worries.
"Wanhu Monkey, could this dream of yours be a superpower, the ability of an unpredictable prophet?" Xia Fan asked.
"Who knows, I still expect to have superpowers, let's talk about the current ones first."
Looking at the congested section of the road in front of him, Xia Fan frowned and said, "If the zombies are hiding somewhere and waiting to farm monsters, they will definitely stay not far from the densely populated area." Now there are so many cars and so many people in the gas station, if the zombies come out, they can't be served in one pot? Why don't we walk from the field next to us? ”
Xu Wanhu nodded and decided to quickly walk through the town.
When I drove to Xuanzhuang Village before, the whole valley had opened up, forming a valley plain.
Villages and fields have appeared on both sides of the road, and now that the wheat harvest is over, the villagers have planted all kinds of vegetables and corn in the fields.
The corn has just been pulled, the vegetables are not high, and the car with a high chassis can barely pass.
The chassis of Wuling Hongguang itself is not low, and Xia Fan has adjusted it to a higher level, so it should be no problem to drive such a height.
The provincial highway was blocked, and Xu Wanhu had no choice but to drive the car into the field.
However, it took five or six minutes to move slowly over the road of more than 100 meters.
After passing through the gas station, there are not many cars. The number of vehicles in the town is not high, and those who can run have either already run or cannot enter or exit at the gas station.
The town is not big, on both sides of the provincial highway are some small buildings with two or three floors, and there are some small farmhouse courtyards, more than three floors are rare, but in a corner away from the center of the town, there seem to be a few buildings standing faintly, looking at it through the glimmer of the stars and moon, it seems to be a commercial housing community under construction.
Traditional lighting fixtures such as candles, lanterns, and torches are hung on houses and telephone poles on both sides of the provincial road.
I think this is an emergency solution for the residents of the town after the power outage, although it is traditional, but the lighting effect is not inferior to the street lights. The town is built according to the topography, narrow from north to south, and the joyful fire spreads from the north end of the provincial road to the south end of the town where it leaves, like a long dragon, spreading for nearly two kilometers.
There was a lot of blood on the road, and it seemed that there had been a fierce battle, but the body had been disposed of.
Some of the villagers were organized to patrol, and it seems that there are reliable people in the town in command.
An hour has passed since the outbreak of the zombies, and in such a short period of time, the zombies can be eliminated and order established, Xu Wanhu also has to admire this commander.
"There are zombies!" Xia Fan, who was observing outside the window, exclaimed, startling Xu Wanhu.
Xu Wanhu slowed down the car and followed Xia Fan's gaze, only to see a person hit by a Chang'an Star bread on a telephone pole, looking like a grinning hand, there is no doubt that this is a zombie.
There were more than two dozen people standing around, men, women and children, all holding hoes, sticks, iron forks and other agricultural tools as weapons, and the two of them were arguing.
"The zombies may be relatives." I can't bear to do anything to the zombies that my relatives and friends have turned into, this is a common phenomenon in the last days, and some infections that could have been avoided happen in this way. Cutting strange zombies is acceptable, and most people can't do it when they cut their relatives and friends, which is also the helplessness of people.
After a while, he will be able to leave this town and continue his journey to the south, Xu Wanhu does not plan to meddle in his affairs, and the lessons from the past are not far away.
Accidents always appear when expectations are full, and just when Xu Wanhu felt that victory was in sight, the exclusive monster farming event of Liu Gezhuang Town appeared. One by one, monsters also appeared in Xu Wanhu's sight after a distortion in the space. At the same time, the zombies that have slipped through the net hidden in all corners of the town have also been killed.
In front of the left side of the car, a young man escaped from a room covered in blood, with a large piece of flesh missing from his left shoulder. A female zombie chased after her, and before she could run for long, the young man was thrown to the ground and became food for the female zombie. In front of the right side of the car, a man jumped from the second floor of a small building, fell to the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead, and a zombie also jumped from the upstairs with him, the zombie seemed to have broken his leg, but still climbed to enjoy the food.
Xu Wanhu also saw the so-called bloodthirsty monster for the first time. A giant ape with fangs more than ten meters tall appeared next to a three-story house, and saw it reach in through the window of the house with one hand, and when it pulled it out, it had half a headless corpse in its hand. The giant ape did not shove the corpse into his hands, but threw it far away.
The giant ape was three or four hundred meters away from the car, and its body was very large, basically blocking the entire lane.
Xu Wanhu didn't have the confidence to get through the only remaining lane behind its ass without being discovered by the giant ape. If [Wuling Hongguang Change] is caught by the giant ape, it will be flattened if it is directly snapped, and no amount of armor and blades will be useless.
Xu Wanhu had to find a place away from most of the monsters, first stopped the car, and then waited for the opportunity to move.
As far as the eye could see, more than a dozen monsters appeared one after another, all of which appeared out of thin air within a few seconds of space distortion.
Some monsters are similar to creatures on Earth, Xu Wanhu saw monsters that looked like wolves, beetles, birds, etc., but there were also creatures whose appearance was completely on the plane and could not be used as a reference, such as a turquoise sac that was devouring the human body.
The bloody scene not only impacted Xu Wanhu's eyes and brain, but also made his stomach keep tumbling, and he couldn't help but vomit out, although Xia Fan on the side was better, he didn't vomit, but his face was already blue. In the past hour or so, they have seen several zombies, and they have killed one with their own hands face to face. But these monsters that dominate the last days are still the first time they have seen them with their own eyes.
Compared with zombies, the attack power of these monsters is undoubtedly too great, and ordinary zombies are just miscellaneous soldiers.
Even though he had already experienced a more terrifying wave of zombies in the nightmare, seeing them in reality still scared him enough.
The moment he saw the monster, the dream memories related to it surfaced in Xu Wanhu's mind.
