Chapter 9: Gunfire in the Night
Originally, it was said that they would take turns to keep vigil, but after late at night, Wang Qi gave up the idea of waking up the two to change shifts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the one hand, it may be because I have been in a coma for too long, and I don't feel too sleepy at the moment; On the other hand, in such a dark night where you can't see your fingers, you can't use any lighting tools, and with Zhao Lin and Fang Ke's eyesight, it is estimated that the zombies may not be able to find them when they pounce in front of them.
Entrusting your own safety to them is not very reliable.
And the facts also proved that Wang Qi was not worrying about nothing, just half an hour ago, on the ridge in the east, there were some scattered zombies wandering outside the village, and a few of them intentionally or unintentionally approached the hut where they were hiding.
Fortunately, Wang Qi's night vision ability at this moment is not inferior to those zombies, once the other party enters the warning area, he will touch the close side with his waist and stab them one by one with steel bars.
After many actual battles, he is now quite proficient in this stabbing technique, accurate and neat, and there will never be a kind of oolong incident that can't be pulled out of the zombie's head when the weapon is stuck in the zombie's head.
After clearing some of the zombies that were approaching, Wang Qi returned to the hut and sat down against the outer wall. Try to summon in your mind the ancient book called the Code of the Scourge.
This time the summoning went very smoothly, but after concentrating for a while, the quaint and old book immediately appeared in front of him, and with his thoughts, the first page of the book opened.
The above text had actually been memorized by him at the same time as it was formed, except for a few brief descriptions of the world of the undead, which was the use of the "Soul Fire Master".
At this time, when Wang Qi re-read it, he noticed that there were faint white flames circulating in the strange glyphs on the pages. I think this is the soul fire energy I have at the moment, and it is they that need to be consumed when using skills.
The second page was blank again, and the rest of the page could not be turned at all. It seems that you have to accumulate enough soul fire yourself before you can burn the text on the new page, and after the next page is filled with text, it is estimated that you can unseal the new skill.
However, the accumulation of soul fire is not easy to talk about. More than half of the soul fire absorbed after each undead kill will be automatically used to strengthen the body, and the rest will be stored in the Scourge Codex.
And after unlocking the first page in the afternoon, he already felt that the improvement of his body from the soul fire absorbed after killing the zombie was no longer as obvious as it was at the beginning. Although his physical fitness is much stronger now than when he just woke up, if he continues to develop like this, I really don't know when he will be able to unseal the next page.
Thinking about his thoughts, listening to the faint snoring of the two in the house, Wang Qi was a little hesitant to take advantage of the night to find a place close to the village to hunt more zombies. After all, in this dangerous place, only the increase of one's own strength can ensure a longer life.
It's a pity that now my task is to keep vigil, if I leave these two guys who are not very vigilant here, in case the zombies who have escaped the net rush into the door, the two companions who have rarely met will have to join the ranks of the undead creatures.
Wang Qi didn't hate these two companions, although the three of them had only known each other for a few hours, the strength and mentality shown by these two people were obviously very suitable for surviving in this environment.
However, what made Wang Qi feel more at ease and interacted with them was that when the fat man was dragged out of one leg by the zombie before, the young man named Zhao Lin not only did not abandon him, but even tried to rescue him regardless of his own safety.
People who are willing to lay down their lives for their friends will not have too bad a bad heart.
After thinking about them, Wang Qi thought of his girlfriend Zhao Yuxin, who was hundreds of kilometers away. I don't know how much of this undead natural disaster covers, and whether the Anguang City where she is located is safe?
Her words must have broken her heart before, but no matter whether Yu Xin forgives herself or not, she must also rush to her side as soon as possible. Since her parents left, she has been the closest person to her, as long as she can protect her safety, even if she fights for her life, what's the matter?
"But, I don't know the way......"
Wang Qi pulled his hair and groaned with a wry smile. He was born a road idiot, and he has never been far away. Now he was counting on Fang Ke and Zhao Lin, two companions, to be able to send him in the direction of Anguang City as much as possible.
As for remuneration...... Do your best to protect them and find a safe place to shelter? I don't know if our dear government will be able to take measures in time, where are you in the legendary gathering place......
"Bang bang bang-"
Three crisp sounds came from the direction of the village not far away. Wang Qi's first reaction was when, there were still people setting off firecrackers, but the next second, he reacted - this is the sound of gunshots!
Soon, three more gunshots rang out in quick succession. The snoring of the two men in the hut stopped abruptly, and then a dim flashlight lit up. The wooden door was pushed open a crack, and Zhao Lin's face poked out.
"What happened? Is that gunshot? ”
"Seems to be...... However, it sounds a little different from the rifles I used in military training......"
Wang Qi also stood up, tilting his head sideways in a listening appearance.
Gunshots rang out again. The wooden door was completely pushed open, and the fat man who rubbed his eyes walked out of the house with a hoe, and listened to Wang Qi's movements, then nodded and said:
"That's right, it's the sound of gunshots, it's the sound of that kind of homemade shotgun, I used to go hunting rabbits with the village hunters when I was in my hometown......"
"There are still a lot of voices, tsk, there are so many earthen guns in such a village, and the gun surrender order issued by the government back then is obviously in violation."
Zhao Lin also came out with a hoe, and the hoe of the two of them was naturally something that they got from the hands of the two mid-gray spirit zombies in the afternoon. Compared with the steel pipe used by the two before, it is much longer, which also has more advantages when dealing with zombies.
"The gunfire is very neat, obviously organized...... "Fang Ke is still listening, expressing his opinion from time to time,
"This earthen gun is very primitive, and it can only fire one bullet at a time. However, it is obvious that there is a master in command, and the guns must have been divided into several batches, and they were loaded and fired in turn, just like the British guns during the Opium War......"
"But how can they aim in such a dark situation?"
Wang Qi asked suspiciously, but before the two could say their guesses, they saw that the originally sporadic fires in the village suddenly became larger.
Wang Qi's eyesight is the best, he has seen that it is an entire building that is burning. The flames of the sky are especially conspicuous in such dark nights.
"Yes, yes, sure enough, there are high-ranking people present!" Fang Ke stroked his palms and smiled, "Igniting buildings can not only attract the concentration of zombies, but also provide a good view for shooting. O wise man, wise man, what is needed in the last days? Talent! ”
When he said this, the fat man obviously imitated Uncle Li in the world, but although it was a bit of a spoof, it was indeed a truth.
"So what do we do? Would you like to go over and have a look? ”
Zhao Lin on the side asked the two of them with great interest.
