Chapter 181 Commercial Building
Lin Shihong's escape did not make Xu Shenzhou angry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He just felt that he couldn't understand Lin Shihong's behavior, from Sanshui to the provincial capital, there was no danger along the way.
And now entering the confines of the provincial capital also means greater danger.
Lin Shihong ran out alone, he didn't have the ability to evolve like Xu Shenzhou and the young Shen Yuefeng, so the danger he had to face was a hundred times greater than before.
Lin Shihong should understand this truth.
But in such a situation, why did he still say goodbye?
The young man Shen Yuefeng packed up the things in the room and put them into his backpack, he went out and came to the door of the bathroom, and said: "Brother, except for a military dagger, the weapons and equipment in the room are not lacking, other weapons and food, why should Uncle Lin say goodbye, can't we protect him?" ”
Xu Shenzhou also couldn't understand this question.
He saw a wave of zombies wandering towards the courtyard below outside the window, and a few creatures could occasionally be seen in the distant fog that came out to feed.
As expected, the bugs that could scorch the air and glow a fiery red hue would soon melt the car and be eaten by the bugs.
This flame beetle Xu Shenzhou once encountered it once when he entered Sanshui, and he didn't know what kind of origin they came from and what kind of insect they mutated and evolved.
However, judging from their penchant for eating metals, their S-shaped compound eyes, and their tendency to stay in the shallow layers of the earth and be afraid of water, it is likely that they originated from a new species that emerged from a volcanic area.
In addition, the heat source generated by this flame beetle is hot, which can drive away those zombies in the surrounding area.
Even if some zombies come across them, they will only kill the target and will not use it as a food supplement, unlike other mutated creatures that will feed on the essence sarcoma formed by the zombies.
Xu Shenzhou and the young man didn't rush to track down Lin Shihong who had escaped, he just carefully observed the flame beetles that were slowly moving towards the city in the distance.
Through the telescope, we can observe the clues of the arrival of the beetles, because there have been some scorch marks there, and it is easy to determine that the trajectory of their arrival is not from the provincial capital, but from the coastal provinces in the southeast.
Especially where the flame beetles pass, the vast majority of zombies will immediately avoid, forming a strange vacuum, and some zombies that can't avoid it will be killed or scorched directly by the very aggressive flame beetles.
Obviously, there are a lot of metal products in this industrial area, especially scrapped cars, and those flame beetles should want to expand their territory and build nests in this area.
In order to avoid those flame beetles from getting too close to them, after Xu Shenzhou and the teenager jumped from the window of the bathroom, they didn't need to land, they directly climbed over the wall of the building, and slowly chased along the route that Lin Shihong might escape.
As you begin to slowly move deeper into the city along the industrial park, the misty fog becomes a little thicker, with a pungent stench of corpses.
The visibility was only about 100 meters, and Xu Shenzhou would pause to reconnoiter every time he arrived.
What is a little surprising is that the number of zombies around the industrial park is not as overwhelming as imagined, and only when they enter, they will see a lot of them in the surrounding periphery, and the deeper they go into the city, the fewer zombies will be.
This situation can't help but remind Xu Shenzhou of the situation he encountered in Wanxian County.
However, when they went deeper into the city limits, they did not find any signs of huge mutant creatures in the surrounding area, and occasionally they only used binoculars to see a few huge mutated birds perched on top of some skyscrapers.
The large mutated birds didn't come down to feed, they just hovered in the air, and even if there were zombies in the city, it didn't seem to be their target.
Occasionally, birds will be seen swooping down, but it is impossible to see what they are hunting because of the tall buildings blocking the view.
But the dangerous aura that has always permeated the city has never dissipated, and the deeper you go into the city, the stronger it becomes.
It took about several hours for the two of them to follow the traces that Lin Shihong might have left behind, and finally broke away from the scope of the industrial park and entered the city.
Xu Shenzhou and the boy did not walk on the ground, because there were too many zombies scattered around the facilities on the ground, and the roads were also very congested, and once they landed and were detected, they would be surrounded by zombies.
The residential areas and commercial buildings in the urban area are very dense, and Xu Shenzhou and the boy moved on the roofs of the dense buildings, on the one hand, for better reconnaissance, and on the other hand, they can also look down on the larger scene from a high place.
However, playing cool running on the roof of the building is still quite dangerous, although it can make the dense corpses in some places below the building unnoticed, but there is still a threat in the air, that is, those huge birds hovering in the air.
By noon, the scorching sun was shining brightly, and the fog in the city had gradually dispersed a lot, becoming lighter, and it was possible to see farther away.
In this way, Xu Shenzhou would not dare to continue parkour with the teenagers, because they would be exposed to the sun and would attract the attention of those mutated birds for the first time, and they would be attacked.
At the same time, when visibility is expanded, it is easy for zombies scattered around the city or mutants hiding in a certain corner to find their whereabouts.
So Xu Shenzhou did not continue to let go of his hands and feet to reconnoitre, but took the boy into the upper floor of a commercial building with more than 30 floors.
This commercial building used to be the site of a large daily necessities company, and the number of employees was very large, but the time when the disaster struck was at night, after work, so the building was also full of staff on duty, and after they became zombies, except for some of them, there were not many wandering in the building.
But even so, Xu Shenzhou has no interest in cleaning up from the bottom to the top, the boy's climbing ability is very strong, he will climb directly from the middle of the building to the upper floor of the building, and then use a rope to fix the rope head and throw it down, Xu Shenzhou will quickly climb up with the rope.
After cleaning up some of the zombies on this floor, Xu Shenzhou chose a clean and tidy room with a very wide field of vision, and used a telescope to observe the dynamics of this area of the city.
Soon, Xu Shenzhou found some scenes that interested him not far away.
