Chapter 121: In the Dark
During the Republican period, the villages were home to a variety of poultry animals, many of which included goats. Later, the zombie virus broke out, and the village was also destroyed under the ravages of corpses, but zombies generally only eat people, and if they don't consider changing their appetite, they won't eat livestock.
These domestic animals have lost the control of humans and have begun to return to nature, and the environment in the wild has also lost the transformation of humans, and the status quo of anti-ancient has begun to appear.
Xing Laogen remembers that when he was a child, this land was still cultivated, and now it has become a dense mountain range.
Thirty years is enough time to change something, such as the black goat in front of you, which may have been someone's livestock a few generations ago, but now it has become an out-and-out wild thing.
Wild black goats are very intelligent, extremely alert, good at running in the mountains, and with extremely high explosive power, the average four-legged beast can't take a black goat, let alone a two-legged person.
But Xing Laogen has a gun!
Although there is only one chance to shoot, Xing Laogen is still very sure!
After all, he is an old hunter, and with this old gun, Xing Laogen and his family migrated to various places and has lived until now.
Xing Laogen looked at his position, now he was squatting in a condescending position, with dense bushes as a base cover, the black goat could not see himself, but the black goat's every move was under his control. The black goat looked around for a moment, making sure that it did not threaten his target, so he buried his head in the feast, indicating that the black goat did not notice his presence at all.
The plastered barrel of the gun gently pushed out of the bushes, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the black goat, Xing Laogen squinted his eyes and counted silently in his heart: Three! Two! One!
Bang!
With a loud bang, the black goat not far away was killed instantly, but Xing Laogen's hands and feet trembled.
I haven't shot yet!
As a result, the black goat was crushed to death by an object falling from the sky!
Xing Laogen was stunned, and he couldn't figure out what kind of object fell from the day!
According to Xing Laogen's many years of hunter experience, the most appropriate and safest way to do this situation is to run away with oil on the soles of his shoes, after all, the current world is very sinister, and it is possible to drop bombs and zombies from the sky.
Xing Lao wanted to escape at all, but in the end he didn't escape.
People die for money, birds die for food, the reason why Xing Laogen restrained the fear in his heart and didn't run away was not because of the black goat that was killed by a falling object from a high altitude!
Such a big black goat is enough for his family to eat for a long time, if he and other people in the village exchange some wild vegetables, maybe they can eat it for a longer time, such a huge piece of food is not common, Xing Laogen can't bear to give up!
Xing Laogen squatted on the ground and didn't dare to move at all, even his breathing was sneaky, and after observing for a long time, Xing Laogen was sure that the thing that fell from the sky didn't seem to be a living thing, and if it was, it should squeak.
But think about it, the sky is so high, even if you drop a zombie, you will fall halfway, if you drop a bomb, you will ...... Don't talk about it, I'll blow him up a long time ago.
Seeing that it was not early, and it was afraid that there would be extraneous branches if he was delayed in this jungle any longer, Xing Laogen mustered up the courage to stand up slowly, and slowly moved towards the position of the black goat with his gun.
His feet were sifting the chaff, his feet were sifting the chaff, Xing Laogen was very afraid, and he made up his mind that if there was any accident, he would immediately turn around and run away, the big deal was that the black goat didn't want it!
The distance of dozens of meters felt so long, but fortunately, there was no accident, and Xing Laogen walked to the place of the incident without danger. After a closer look, Xing Laogen was relieved, it turned out that it was a person who killed the black goat!
To be precise, it should be a corpse, the reason why Xing Laogen judged that this was a corpse was because of the experience of hunters, if it was a zombie, I am afraid that this thing on the ground would have woken up and bitten everywhere.
Xing Laogen stabbed the "corpse" on the ground with a gun and found that the corpse was missing an arm.
"Hey, the wound is so strange, the blood is golden!" Xing Laogen was taken aback.
The corpse's left hand had lost its entire forearm, and a golden blood blister was bulging out of the fractured place, covering the wound like a sac of flesh, which looked very strange.
Who would have golden blood?
Xing Laogen picked his head, this thing is very strange.
Alas, alas, don't think about it much, Xing Laogen secretly laughed at himself for being stupid, worrying about it all day and night, and quickly carrying the black goat to talk is the right way, it's okay to find a scientist or something like that for studying corpses, just forget about his own pig head.
The bones of the black goat under the corpse have been smashed to pieces, and the neck has been smashed into a skin, which shows how heavy the corpse is.
Xing Laogen looked at the corpse of the black goat that was smashed terribly, goosebumps appeared on his body, if this corpse fell on his head...... Xing Laogen didn't dare to think about it.
Straddled the shotgun in front of him and lifted the corpse, Xing Laogen picked up the black goat on his back and was about to leave, but at this time, Xing Laogen found that the "corpse" falling from a high altitude inadvertently twitched his right hand!
"Ouch,!" Xing Laogen was so frightened that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were born, and he hurriedly ran away with the black goat.
The corpse on the ground was none other than Wang Qiang, who was deeply injured after the desperate battle with Daddy Oak.
At this moment, Wang Qiang did not die, but fell into a deep coma and lost all consciousness.
In the battle with Daddy Oak, Wang Qiang almost ran out of oil, and the damage to the body caused by the final 10,000-meter fall was also very huge, at this time all the organs in Wang Qiang's body were in a state of severe damage, and the heart, lungs, liver, and spleen were almost shattered. Thanks to the black goat on his back, it brought a certain cushion to Wang Qiang, although it was not very helpful, but it was always better than nothing.
Although Wang Qiang did not die at this time, there was not much gap between his state and death. The little life energy left inside the body is wandering around, and under the guidance of losing consciousness, it is completely out of instinct to save itself, and the life energy repairs the damage of the body, but this is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.
Wang Qiang walked in the bushes like this, the sky gradually changed from bright to dark, dusk had come, and the moon hung on the branches.
At this time, several clusters of torches appeared on the hillside, and several men with knives and guns were groping their way together.
"Xing Laogen, the zombies you said are nearby?" A voice sounded, full of air and a little straightforward.
"Yes, Brother Dehuang, how could I lie to you?" Xing Laogen said tremblingly.
"I said Xing Laogen, you are also an old hunter, and you don't know how to make up a knife when you see zombies, everyone who is harming you come out to search at this time, you are really a bad talent." Another companion blamed.
"Shhhh Be careful, don't talk nonsense, watch your step, and beware of zombies biting your balls. Another calm voice reminded.
The crowd covered each other and slowly searched along the slopes of the bushes.
"Here it is! Come here! Xing Laogen's voice came.
Everyone followed Xing Laogen's voice to look for the past, and sure enough, Wang Qiang's body was found in the hollow.
"Hey, Xing Laogen is a corpse, what a fuss, a ghost zombie!" The companion blamed.
"That's it, it's really worrying about the damage to the goods that Lao Tzu is still walking around in the wild so late." Another companion also scolded.
"Hmph, this is the zombie you fought for 300 rounds? Ge Laozi, Xing Laogen is not honest! You've got dinner tonight! Otherwise, I will beat you up! ”
Xing Laogen looked at his companion a little innocently, and he was very annoyed in his heart.
Because this place is not too far from the village of the settlement, when he carried the black goat back, he attracted many people in the village to watch, and then he blew it up, commending his hunting exploits, how to capture the black goat, how to carry the black goat and the zombies...... As a result, he leaked his mouth and talked about the zombies.
The men in the village immediately became nervous when they heard about the zombies, and the zombies appeared around the village, which was not a good sign! After a group of big men got together to discuss, they decided to send a team of people to explore the surroundings overnight to ensure that the zombies were eliminated so that they would not wander into the village and cause accidents.
Many of the men in the village are good men who have combat experience with zombies, and after some preparations, they formed a team and began to explore, but after a blind search for several hours, the zombies were not found, and only one body was found.
Everyone understood in their hearts that Xing Laogen, who was said by the dog, was bragging!
On the spot, everyone beat Xing Laogen violently and chatted to express the depression in their hearts.
Next, everyone discussed what to do with the body. Since it is a corpse, it is best to dig a pit on the spot and bury it, so as to avoid the corpse attracting wild beasts and zombies.
Just do it, a few men began to dig the pit on the spot, and Xing Laogen became the main force in digging the pit.
Xing Laogen, who was a little depressed, muttered while shoveling dirt: "It's really hell to see his hands moving." ”
The pit was dug quickly, meeting the standards of mass burial, and for a plain corpse, this treatment was already of high standard, and everyone lifted the "corpse" on the ground, ready to throw it into the pit.
"This guy is so heavy!" Xing Laogen, who carried the corpse, scolded.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a voice sounded, a little stunned, a little straightforward, but more of an irrepressible surprise.
"What's the matter, Brother Dehuang!" Xing Laogen muttered with some dissatisfaction.
For this bold guy in front of him, Xing Laogen dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
I saw Brother Dehuang gather the torch and panicked in front of the corpse, and then with an "ah" sound, the torch fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? Brother Dehuang! Everyone was amazed!
Brother Dehuang is a well-known fierce and bold man in the village, a reckless man who dares to take off his clothes and fight with zombies, and a fierce man who dares to sleep in the grave, what can scare this?
"Bring me up!" Brother Dehuang picked up the torch and said loudly.
Everyone looked at each other, Dehuang took the torch to the younger brother behind him, grabbed Wang Qiang on his back, and turned around to walk towards the village.
"Brother Dehuang, what are you doing here?" Everyone looked at each other.
"What else can I do, of course I'm back to the village!" Liu Dehuang opened his mouth and replied, Wang Qiang's body was very heavy, and Liu Dehuang was a little out of breath.
"Ahh Don't be funny! Brother Dehuang, what are you kidding, what are you doing carrying this corpse back to the village? The companion next to him was a little depressed, but he didn't dare to complain.
Liu Dehuang is a well-known straight man in the village, and he will fight each other if he disagrees, but this guy is a good fighter, and he still has a relationship in the village, so everyone doesn't dare to annoy him.
Since Brother Dehuang was in a good mood and wanted to carry the corpse back to the village, he would toss this matter, and everyone followed behind Liu Dehuang, pointing and pointing from afar.
The second son Liu Dehuang carried a corpse back to the village and made a fuss, although it was night, but it also set the small village on fire, and the villagers all ran out to see the excitement.
Brother Dehuang picked up a corpse and returned to the village, the most anxious and dumbfounded was Liu Dehuang's wife, although Dehuang's sister-in-law knew that her head was not bright, but she had always been very reliable, and this time she picked up a corpse and came back...... Sister-in-law Dehuang could only be speechless.
However, to everyone's surprise, Liu Dehuang did not go back to his home with the corpse on his back, but rushed straight to the village chief's house!
The village chief is a well-known ruthless and wicked person in the village, and his village chief was not elected, but was robbed of the real thing, and no one else could rob him, so he became the village chief. All the villagers know that the relationship between Liu Dehuang and the village chief is not ordinary, but when he went to the village chief's house with the corpse on his back late at night, no matter how good the relationship is, what kind of trouble is this?
I saw Liu Dehuang panting with the corpse on his back to the door of the village chief, and then kicked on the door of the village chief.
The village chief's family lives in a courtyard with high walls and a large iron gate, and Liu Dehuang's foot on the iron gate is the same as playing a gong, and the whole village is rippling.
"Who the hell is tired of living, is Ge Laozi looking for death, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you to death?" A gruff voice came from inside the room.
Shouting and scolding, the footsteps of the rough man approached, and with a bang, the iron door opened, and the village chief wearing pants picked his crotch with one hand and held a gun in the other, and the muzzle of the gun was staring at Liu Dehuang's head.
The village chief was talking about life with his daughter-in-law in bed, and he was halfway through the conversation, when he was kicked in the door, the village chief was very unhappy, and the consequences were very serious, and he didn't wear his pants anymore, and he was going to clean up people with a gun on the spot!
"Alas, don't shoot, captain, your own people!" Liu Dehuang saw the muzzle of the gun staring at his head, and hurriedly said out loud.
The light was not good at night, and the village chief squinted and looked, and then withdrew his gun.
"Dehuang of the dog, you are full, you are full, you are full to find your mother-in-law, what is the matter with kicking the door of my house?" In the whole village, the relationship between the village chief and Liu Dehuang is very unusual, and it belongs to a fateful friendship, so when he saw that it was Liu Dehuang, the village chief also put out the fire.
"Captain, let me come in and talk!" With that, Liu Dehuang broke into the house.
"Damn, what are you carrying?" The village chief shouted.
"Captain, see who this is?" Liu Dehuang broke into the house and threw the person on the bed, which frightened the village chief's unclothed daughter-in-law to scream.
The village chief looked at the guy on the bed, and immediately exclaimed, "I'll it!" This is Wang Qiang! ”
There are not many people who can be called the captain by Liu Dehuang, and the village chief is one.
At this time, the village chief with a fierce face looked at Wang Qiang in front of him with an excited expression, and the village chief was in a mixed mood, how many years has it been?
There was no time to recall, the village chief looked at Wang Qiang, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, at this time Wang Qiang's arm wound had scabbed, and the golden blood stains had been hidden, but the broken arm was still empty.
"How did this happen? Where did the hand go? The village chief asked aloud.
Seeing that Wang Qiang's body was as stiff and straight as a dead man, the village chief felt bad in his heart, frowned and stretched out his hand to probe Wang Qiang's snort. At this time, Wang Qiang was already in a state of turtle breathing, his nose was not angry at all, and the village chief shook his head with a cold face. Immediately, the village chief stretched out his hand and touched Wang Qiang's neck, there was still a faint pulse on the carotid artery, his face turned from sad to happy, and he said to Liu Dehuang, who was anxious: "There is still a pulse, it is not dead, maybe it can be saved!" ”
Hearing the village chief's words, Liu Dehuang's honest face showed joy, and he said with a big grin: "I'll go find a doctor." ”
said that Liu Dehuang was about to leave the house.
There are doctors in the village, and with Liu Dehuang's temper, the doctors are on call.
"Wait!" The village chief shouted.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Liu De Huang Hanhan asked.
"Doctor Zhao's three-legged cat kung fu can't save Wang Qiang, you go to the other side of the river and find that person to help!" The village chief said categorically.
Liu Dehuang was stunned and said: "This ...... Captain, I'm afraid I won't move her. ”
The village chief said: "Wang Qiang is different from us, she will definitely come!" ”
"That's right, I'll try my luck, and the captain will go back and tell my daughter-in-law to tell her not to wait for me." After saying that, Liu Dehuang hurriedly ran out of the village.
Until Liu Dehuang left, the village chief said to his daughter-in-law: "Don't be idle, get up and go to fetch hot water." ”
The village chief's daughter-in-law came back to her senses, looked at the "corpse" occupying the bed in a daze, and asked timidly: "Who is the boss?" ”
The village chief looked at Wang Qiang, and there were infinite things in his heart, so he said to his daughter-in-law: "An old man." ”
At night, the night is very dark.
Liu Dehuang ran all the way to the village, heading northwest until he came to the river. Liu Dehuang took off his clothes, pants, shoes and socks, put the equipment on top of his head, and then began to swim across the river.
There are no bridges on this stretch of the river, and swimming is the only way to do it.
Crossing is a worry-free affair that requires a lot of physical strength.
The years are not forgiving, Liu Dehuang feels that his physical strength is getting worse than a few years ago, the turbulent river almost washed himself away, if it was a few years earlier, he could swim over casually, but fortunately, he finally came to the other side of the river.
Coming to the other side of the river, Liu Dehuang hurriedly changed his clothes and looked around very cautiously. This piece of land is very dangerous, it belongs to the forbidden land of the village, and ordinary people dare not set foot in it at all, if it weren't for the urgency of the matter today, Liu Dehuang would not have come here in the middle of the night.
Near the river is a forest, each tree needs a dozen people to surround it, and it grows very thick, like a giant tree in the forest. But Liu Dehuang Ke still remembers that a few years ago, there were not even small saplings here.
I don't know the way ahead, and everything can only be fumbled.
PS: At this point in writing, I suddenly began to fill in some holes that I thought were out of reach. Time flies so slowly, it's been two years since I first put pen to paper, time flies so fast, and it's approaching the end of this book...... Although the grades were poor, a two-million-word novel, I did it!
