Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Truth
The off-road vehicle went around the country road and began to slow down when it returned to the vicinity of the road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After the mutant rats chasing Zheng Xinwei were diverted, the threat dropped greatly.
Several people had four AK47s, and with the sharp consumption of bullets, they also repelled some of the mutant mice.
In addition, Xu Shenzhou diverted most of the rats, and at the same time, the disaster led the group of rats to the territory of the Drilling Dragon, which caused a fight between the two, and the casualties of the mutant rats would also make the mutant rats that part of the diversion respond to the call of the same kind and rush over to support.
As a result, Zheng Xinwei's pressure suddenly decreased.
The purpose of Xu Shenzhou's circle on the country road was to avoid the rats that returned to support.
At the same time, he will also find that the mutated creatures can have closer ties with each other, and they know how to fight together.
Moreover, those mutant creatures will emit a wonderful biological electric wave to call the surrounding kind, which is why Xu Shenzhou can hide and hide every time he encounters a large group of mutant creatures, and when they are too few in number, they can hide and hide, and they will not easily kill those mutant creatures.
Because killing one or two, those mutant creatures will send out bioelectric waves to call for help from their kind, which may attract a large group of mutant creatures to support the battle, which will only make their situation more unpredictable.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Shenzhou led everyone to survive the crisis caused by mutant creatures all the way, and thus survived, and the mortality rate of team members was not high.
After some of the returning rats went southeast, Xu Shenzhou returned to the highway and headed north, driving about seven kilometers before catching up with the agricultural truck that was slowing down.
Because the agricultural truck was collected and assembled temporarily, without additional defense measures, after the rat swarm raged, it is now very dilapidated, and it may be scrapped on the road at any time.
Sensing that Xu Shenzhou was chasing after him, the farm truck stopped.
Xu Shenzhou got out of the car, walked to the truck box and glanced at it, and saw that everyone was drenched.
Some people didn't even have time to bring their material backpacks, they looked more embarrassed, Xie Jun and He Mingming's eyes were red, and their faces were also desilted, but it didn't look like they were left behind by fighting mutant creatures, it seemed that they were born from a fight.
Moreover, Xu Shenzhou keenly noticed that there was one person missing from the team, it seemed to be He Mingyue.
Especially noticing that the young man Shen Zhaofeng's face was pale, and the beads of sweat kept slipping down, looking very painful, Xu Shenzhou's face changed: "Xiaofeng, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Xiaoling cried and said: "Xiaofeng wanted to cover me and Tingting, he was bitten off by a mouse, it's all my fault, I caused him ......"
Shen Yuefeng shook his head: "Teacher Lin, don't say that, I'm already lame, and it's not a big deal to break a few more toes, I'm afraid that if I am bitten by mutant mice, will I be infected and affect everyone......"
Xu Shenzhou said: "I came out to reconnoitre, what happened to you in Fengyang Town?" ”
Lu Yan said in a deep voice: "It's still related to the kind of flame beetle we encountered when we entered Sanshui before, tonight I was outside to reconnoitre, and found that there was an explosion and fire in the direction of Si'an County, and everyone was also alarmed, so I came out to watch!" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yan was a little happy, and said: "Fortunately, everyone came out to watch the situation there, and when we were discussing, we smelled a smell of coke, and everyone immediately thought of smelling the same smell after encountering those flame beetles."
In fact, everyone's guess is right, when some of the flame beetles arrived near Fengyang Town, because it was night, the body surface of those beetles would emit a luster, and everyone found that there were a large number of them, so they decided to evacuate immediately! ”
Xu Shenzhou said: "Then you encountered mutant rats when you evacuated?" ”
Lu Yan glanced at Zheng Xinwei.
Zheng Xinwei looked a little self-reproachful, and said: "I remember when we were hiding from the flame beetles, you said that those beetles would be afraid of water, and I thought that there was a lot of water stored in the reservoir, and if we opened the reservoir to release water, it would stop those flame beetles from pursuing......"
"It's just that I didn't expect that when we opened the reservoir, we successfully blocked the flame beetles, but I didn't expect the bridge to collapse in advance, and at the same time, there was a nest of rats under the ditch near Fengyang Town that was washed out by the water, and after those rats came out, they began to pursue us, and we didn't have time to take away more supplies, at Lu Yan's suggestion, we fled across the ditch to the north......"
Speaking of this, Zheng Xinwei glanced at He Yue and Xie Jun, and said: "When the ditch was flowing, He Mingyue stepped on the air under her feet and was washed out by the water, Xie Jun rushed to the rescue, but He Mingyue was washed out too far by the water, and at the same time she was also surrounded by rats, and we could only watch her being eaten by rats......"
Speaking of this, Zheng Xinwei said with a conceited face: "If I hadn't insisted on proposing to open the reservoir, maybe that group of rats wouldn't have been washed out, and He Mingyue wouldn't have ......."
After Xu Shenzhou heard this, he figured out what happened.
However, he felt that Zheng Xinwei's approach was not at fault, but the method he came up with at a critical moment bought time for everyone's evacuation.
The large water released from the reservoir blocked the flame beetles, and although the rats under the ground were washed out, those rats were washed away by the water, and naturally they would slow down the speed of pursuit.
Otherwise, they would most likely be caught in the danger of being attacked by flame beetles and rats, and by that time, it was unknown whether they would be able to escape so many people.
However, He Mingyue died in a death, He Mingming, who is a cousin, is now a little emotional, Xie Jun has been getting along with He Mingyue these days, and they have a relationship, they are all in a very sad mood, and Xu Shenzhou did not say anything like praise to stimulate the two.
On the contrary, He Mingliang heard Zheng Xinwei's words of self-reproach, and enlightened him and said: "Ah Wei, what you did in this matter is not wrong, the water released from the reservoir can block the pursuit of the flame beetle, although the mutant rat was accidentally rushed out, but it also won time for everyone to escape, my cousin's fault is not you, you don't have to blame yourself......"
Xu Shenzhou patted Xie Jun on the shoulder and said: "Everyone, this place is not suitable for a long time, I have just reconnoitred on the mountain road, there are no zombies and mutant creatures there, attracted by the explosion and fire in Si'an County, I think this is our best chance to enter Sanshui tonight, I have cleared the obstacles on the mountain road in front of me, now everyone hurry up and get on the road!" ”
Yue Dongsheng said: "Xiaozhou, this agricultural truck is not full of diesel, and it consumes more fuel when walking on mountain roads, this car is on the verge of scrapping, I'm afraid it won't go far......"
Xu Shenzhou said: "There are a large number of vehicles congested on the mountain road, and the one I drove was also selected from the car pile, and when everyone got there, we could pack up and assemble a big truck on the road, where there were so many abandoned vehicles, and it would not be too difficult to collect some fuel......
Hearing this, Yue Dongsheng also relieved himself, so everyone continued on the road.
