Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Stalker
The road to the west was supposed to have been congested by a large number of human survivors who were supposed to have fled to Sanshui in the past. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And it is not difficult to guess that when such a congestion is formed, a large number of vehicles are abandoned here, and the probability of zombie siege will be greatly increased.
I thought it was just a jam, but after walking through the area, I could find a random motor vehicle and continue on the road.
However, the congestion here is like a bamboo, and after walking through a congested area, a clear road will appear.
But I didn't wait long to be happy, and before I walked too far, there was a lot of congestion, even if it was a detour from some remote villages, the effect was not ideal.
The predecessors have all encountered such a situation, and Xu Shenzhou and his group are no exception.
In addition to the congestion of the roads, the main threat comes from the small groups of zombies that roam around.
After reconnaissance along the way, Xu Shenzhou found that in addition to the zombies wandering in the westward direction, a large number of corpses would continue to appear behind them, all of which came from the direction of Tunan County.
This confirms the previous speculation that when Xu Shenzhou was in Lotus Town, he encountered a wave of zombies wandering in the direction of Tunan County.
However, when the city of Wanxian County falls and most of the area is occupied by mutants, the zombies in the food chain will wander and move under the call of mutants, and the target is very likely to be Tunan County.
It's just that after such a long time, when the zombies around Wanxian County gradually decrease, and the range of mutant creatures foraging continues to expand, it will inevitably affect Tunan County.
Then after Tunan County falls into the territory of mutant creatures, a large group of zombies will inevitably migrate again and wander in the direction of Sanshui.
Along the way, most of Xu Shenzhou and his group were walking on foot, and every time they arrived at a congested place, they would encounter a small group of zombie attacks.
The number of zombies in that small group is not much, at most there are only about a dozen, and Xu Shenzhou can clean them up alone.
But in this process, the most troublesome thing is still a group of corpse dogs.
Among this group of corpse dogs, two corpse dogs have evolved twice and become real 'trackers', which are very ferocious and powerful, but also very cunning and dangerous.
When Xu Shenzhou and the others encountered a small group of corpses fighting, they couldn't disperse, and once they dispersed, the group of corpse dogs would come out from behind and sneak attack.
Even if they are repulsed, they will always hang behind them along the way, and from time to time they will suddenly come out and sneak attack, making a group of people miserable, and their mental state is always tense.
Xu Shenzhou also chased out to encircle and suppress the group of corpse dogs, and only three or four of the group of corpse dogs that he killed escaped.
However, two of the corpse dogs that evolved into 'trackers' are extremely cunning and intelligent than those mutant creatures, they know Xu Shenzhou's strength, and they never dare to face the enemy head-on, and every time Xu Shenzhou pursues, they will flee as soon as they perceive danger.
Even if sometimes when he was in danger when he was being pursued by Xu Shenzhou, the cunning corpse dog would summon several other corpse dogs to come over and send them to death as cannon fodder, and then take the opportunity to escape.
When Xu Shenzhou stopped chasing the two 'trackers', it didn't take long for the two retaliatory 'trackers' to summon a wave of corpse dogs to lurk over for a sneak attack.
Although the weather has entered the end of October, it is still very hot in the south.
In order to prevent the sneak attack of the group of corpse dogs, the women in the team wrapped themselves very tightly, and walked all the way, which was very difficult.
Even if you occasionally get into a car in a congested place to take a break, you must always guard against corpses coming to besiege you.
From the trip that started last night to about 12 noon today, after several tosses, the team has only traveled nine kilometers.
Especially when the team marches through the northern part of Si'an County, the number of corpses encountered will sometimes increase, and the distribution range will also expand.
Fortunately, there were no threatening mutants on the road, but most of the people in the team were tired and thirsty, and when they passed through a village, Xu Shenzhou reconnoitred the village and decided to rest there.
This village is not big, and the construction is relatively messy, at most the size of fifty or sixty households, Xu Shenzhou has reconnoitred that although there are zombies roaming around this village, those messy architectural patterns can confuse the zombies, but let the people who are temporarily hiding in the village can rest for a while.
Along the way, after the young man Shen Yuefeng had a fever, even if Xu Shenzhou gave him anti-inflammatory drugs and antipyretics, it didn't work, and the young man was in a coma.
Although most of the people in the team thought that it might be because the boy was infected with the toxin after being bitten by the mutant rat, he might definitely die, but everyone has experienced this way, shared hardships for so long, and has an emotional foundation, but no one said lightly that they wanted to give up on this teenager.
Although this journey was more arduous and tiring than before, everyone took turns carrying the teenager along the way.
Especially Lin Xiaoling, although the trainee teacher looks weak, but after the strong side of her bones was stimulated, she gritted her teeth and supported the young man all the way, even if her feet were worn out, even if she was too tired to walk, she didn't snort.
After walking all the way and experiencing many battles, everyone was very tired.
It is also Xu Shenzhou's state is better, even if he kills the most zombies, he can even clean up a small group of zombies without anyone else's hands.
When it was time for the village to rest temporarily, Xu Shenzhou went to the back of the village to reconnoitre, and found that it was only a temporary rest for only ten minutes, and then another wave of zombies gathered towards the village, among which he found the traces of two 'trackers' again.
It seems that the two 'trackers' are carrying them on their shoulders, and they have found a lot of trouble along the way, and now they don't even let go of their temporary dodge and rest, which makes Xu Shenzhou very annoyed.
After going back and greeting Zheng Xinwei and Xie Jun, and telling them to be on strict guard, Xu Shenzhou lurked on the second floor of a small building in the westernmost part of the village.
That small building is the landmark of the village, and it is also the highest point in the village, and it is also the place where the two 'trackers' gather a wave of zombies to enter the village.
There were about twenty zombies in this wave, and they were summoned from other places by two 'trackers', of which corpse dogs and corpse cats accounted for about half, and there were seven or eight.
Secretly observing from a high place, Xu Shenzhou saw that the two 'trackers' were extremely cunning, they walked in the middle of the corpse group, surrounded by corpse cats and corpse dogs, and a group of zombies outside, guarding the 'trackers' from a high height inside, which could ensure that they could escape as soon as they perceived the danger.
However, Xu Shenzhou was at the highest point of the small building, and looking down from the height, he could completely take the two cunning 'trackers' into his eyes.
So he took out an AK47 with only a dozen bullets left in the entire team, and when the group of corpses wanted to lurk near Xiaolou and enter the village, Xu Shenzhou did not aim directly, but relied on an intuition, and pulled the trigger after the lightning raised the gun.
Bang bang! After the gunshots rang out, one of the 'trackers' in the crowd was still alive and kicking with its eyes smashed.
However, unexpectedly, the other 'tracker' was hit in the connection between the neck and abdomen, but it turned out to be fatal, and then slowly fell to the ground and died.
