Chapter 9: Encountering the Police
Wu Yu rushed all the way ahead, and when he encountered a zombie, he hit him on the head. With the powerful piercing ability of the Triangular Army Thorn, he finally killed the zombies who blocked the way. Behind him, Lao Liu and Wei Guo cleaned up the zombies on both sides. Fortunately, the corpses were very scattered, and in the rush of everyone, the corpses had not gathered much, and several people had already rushed over. Rourou ran behind Wu Yu, with Wei Guo and Lao Liu on the left and right, so she didn't encounter much real danger along the way. Breaking out of the encirclement at this moment, several people collapsed directly to the ground, and they hadn't done such a strenuous exercise for too long. There will be a chance to lie on the ground and rest, and everyone will not have the heart to stand up.
"Do you think they're all zombies?" Rourou pushed Wu Yu's shoulder and asked.
"Whoever gets bitten is fate, let's take care of ourselves first." Lao Liu shook off the dirt on the gun and stood up with his hands. "My wife and children are still waiting for me to save them, and I don't have time to wait for others."
"If you want to save it, go and save it, no one will stop you." Wei Guo just lay on the ground and said nothing, and didn't think about it. He had been crushed in the leg during the car accident, and he no longer had the strength to get up after this violent run.
Wu Yu didn't speak, he was a little hesitant about his decision just now. If I had stopped at that time, I might have been able to save a few people, but if I ran away like this, would it be a little inauthentic? After all, everyone has had a relationship, and they should be in the same boat after a journey. But if you don't run, do you have to wait there to die?
As everyone sat around, talking or thinking, there was a loud noise behind them. It sounded like a big explosion.
After a while, I saw a few people running out from behind. Wang Wei's family and Qingyu's sister and brother finally followed.
"You're all right." Rourou hurriedly stepped forward to support Tongtong, who was about to fall to the ground, and at this time, Tongtong was already crying hoarsely, and her face was full of tears.
"Why is there such a loud explosion from behind?" Wu Yu also stepped forward and asked.
The Qingyu siblings were still immersed in the grief of their parents' deaths and did not answer.
"I threw a grenade. When I was tidying up the basement, my uncle-in-law found it for me. I don't know how long that old grenade has been used, and I can't imagine that it will still explode. Thanks to it, it will blow up the zombies that are following up, otherwise we would not have been able to escape from the encirclement of that group of zombies.
"It's not safe here, that explosion will attract more zombies, you can do it. We have to go now. ”
After listening to Wu Yu's words, Wang Wei nodded and said, "You're right, let's move forward now." ”
"There are still four or five miles to go, and we will get out of this path." Qingyu said, then dismantled the rifle in his hand, and followed Wu Yu's example, holding only the military stab in his hand.
"You also take down the thorns and find something to wrap them in. Otherwise, when we go to the intersection and encounter the police who are interlosing, we can't tell the source of this gun. Out of caution, Wu Yu decided not to enter the city with so many weapons. Moreover, in my own experience, the 38-centimeter military spur is completely enough to deal with the fight with zombies. Carrying the body of the gun is even more constrained, after all, they are not professional soldiers, and they have not received special training to fight bayonets. Running with a scrap gun is just a burden.
Everyone listened to Wu Yu's words, and they all learned to disassemble their guns, even the trained Wang Wei only carried the military spur and went into battle lightly like everyone. The backpack on his body was also thrown away by him, and it was full of things used for wild camping, and he didn't have a chance to use it now. The only way to survive is to run back to the city. Therefore, it is very necessary to travel lightly, but the small bag he was carrying in his hand was not thrown away, but he opened it with a few packets of compressed biscuits. They are all in small packages, about the size of a dollar coin.
Wang Wei distributed it to everyone, and everyone ran around all night, and the physical exertion was very great. I was very happy to see something to eat, even if there was no water, it was very dry, and the taste was a little poor, and everyone still gobbled it up.
Everyone didn't stay too long, but ate as they walked. These compressed biscuits are hard and require a few hard chews before they can be swallowed. While walking and eating, we met another group of people.
The group also held flashlights, so everyone knew that they were not zombies and did not panic too much. There were four of them in the group, all of whom were young men of their prime. The leader of the person with a big cap walked to the front, and Wu Yu and the others saw what he was wearing, and it turned out to be a policeman.
"Do you still have anything to eat?" The policeman stepped forward and asked, there were also a lot of blood stains on his clothes, and it was estimated that he had also been killed from the corpses, knowing the current situation. Therefore, he didn't ask Wu Yu and the others about being covered in dirt and holding controlled knives. He was more interested in what was in the hands of the crowd than in that.
"There are only four packs left, and you guys have exactly one pack per person." Wang Wei handed the remaining packet to the police.
"You call me Lao Bao. They're my little ones, and we've just escaped from the zombie horde. Lao Bao nibbled on compressed biscuits, and then took out a pack of Liqun cigarettes from his clothes pocket and distributed them to everyone.
"I don't smoke," Wu Yu pushed away the cigarette handed in front of him and asked, "You should know more about the police, how is the situation now?" ”
"I don't know, but I just listened to the TV news before I came out of the house, so that everyone should not panic and stay at home and keep it fine." Lao Bao chewed the compressed biscuit in his mouth and swallowed it a few bites, "If it weren't for what the news said, we would have run back to the city a long time ago, how could we suffer this crime." ”
"Didn't your leader call you and tell you to go back to duty? Ordinary people stay at home, there is no need for the police to do the same? Wang Wei took a puff of his cigarette and asked.
"Who knows, maybe the leader has already hung up." Lao Bao diverted the topic and asked, "You are also preparing to return to the city from this path?" ”
"Let's go back to the city and find out what's going on." Wu Yu saw that Lao Bao didn't mean to talk deeply, so he changed the topic. The group continued on their way, and in a short time they heard gunfire in the distance.
The sound was short and continuous, and it felt louder than the sound of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. Occasionally, there was the whirring sound of shells roaring past and the explosion of shells falling to the ground.
"Looks like there's a fight on the other side of the road. It is estimated that Type 93 mortars are used. Wang Wei listened carefully to the sound of the cannon and said.
"Then we can take advantage of the opportunity for the zombies to be attracted by the sound of cannons and quietly run back to the city." Wu Yu didn't pay much attention to the big battle over there, he just wanted to enter the city earlier.
As he spoke, the path had come to an end. In front of you is an uphill slope more than 30 meters high, and after passing the slope, you can turn to the bridge to join the main road. Hopefully, the army's line of defense is in front of the bridge, otherwise it will not be as easy to cross the line of fire as it is to get rid of the zombies. When the time comes, it will be too wrongful to run fast and be shot as a zombie, who calls it night.
