Going upstream, the road along the way was full of thorns, and everyone walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the mud.

In the summer, the wild vegetation has covered the roads, and in the knee-high vegetation, the traces of poisonous snakes and insects have emerged.

Wang Qiang just caught a colorful poisonous snake, broke open the snake's belly, took out the snake gall and offered it to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun's beautiful face suddenly lost blood, and he shook his head in disgust, looking at the corpse of the poisonous snake, the little apple couldn't eat this kind of food.

Jiang Yun didn't want it, so Wang Qiang was not polite, as if he was treating it deliciously, and swallowed the snake gall into his stomach. As for the carcass of the poisonous snake, it was also put into a backpack as a rare delicacy in the future.

After walking along the river for a short time, Lin He stopped and looked up at the improvised dock in the distance.

I saw that the pier was empty, and several floating corpses were floating in the water, but there was no trace of the sand boat.

"What's going on, the ship?" Wang Qiang asked.

"I don't know." Lin He said a little timidly.

Xu Fei remembered something and asked tentatively: "Lin He, could it be that Lin San took the boat away when he was ordered by you to go to Kaixian?" ”

Lin He suddenly realized: "Yes, it's very likely, how could I not think of it." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly looked bad.

The idea of borrowing a boat to go south suddenly came to naught, and several soldiers couldn't help but want to fight the Lin River again, but they were finally stopped by Wang Qiang.

If we can't unite and help each other, then the outcome of this small team in the field will definitely not be too good.

With a wide view of the pier and easy to defend, everyone took a short rest, counted everyone's supplies, and found that there was not much food and ammunition, and if they could not find a place to stay as soon as possible, it was really not optimistic.

At this time, Jiang Haohan found Wang Qiang and said, "Wang Qiang, I have decided to return to the Tree Plain, so let's say goodbye." Before leaving, I want to entrust my daughter and child to you. ”

"Uncle Jiang, why is that?" Wang Qiang was a little stunned.

Jiang Haohan sighed: "After Lingling died, I don't think it's interesting to live, but there is a wish that has not yet been fulfilled. This is a long-cherished wish shared by Lingling and my deceased colleagues, and it is also the only obsession I have in my heart, so I am determined to carry out that unfinished scientific research to the end. ”

At the mention of Xie Ling, Jiang Haohan couldn't help but shed tears from his eyes, he slowly exhaled a breath, and finally calmed down his ups and downs a little, and then said: "Now, that scientific research has reached the final stage, and only the final sprint is needed, and it will definitely be able to complete an unprecedented feat." ”

Saying this, Jiang Haohan raised his fist and waved it vigorously in the air, expressing his belief very contagiously.

Wang Qiang looked at the future father-in-law, and his heart was not happy.

The lower city is destroyed, the homeland is shattered, and now there is not even a place to live, what grand aspirations can we talk about?

But Wang Qiang couldn't bear to hit Jiang Haohan, who had recently lost his wife, so he said euphemistically: "Although the tree plain is safe, there is no food supply, how can you survive if you go back alone?" People often say that the body is the capital of the revolution, and if the body collapses, there will be no capital for scientific research, so Uncle Jiang, you have to think twice. ”

"Besides, Jiang Yuan and Ah Yun have just experienced the pain of losing their mother, and they will face the possibility of losing their father, can you think more about them?" Wang Qiang ran out of the last weight and strongly persuaded Jiang Haohan not to leave the team.

Wang Qiang really said that, Jiang Haohan looked at the children on the side, and thought about his life's wishes, he couldn't make a decision for a while, and his heart was depressed, and he couldn't help but cry loudly again.

"Wang Qiang, what did you say to my father, why did he cry so sadly?" Jiang Yun heard his father's cry and ran over to question.

Jiang Yuan also followed his sister's footsteps to Wang Qiang, the little guy had a scar on his head, which was caused by Wang Qiang's accidental injury, and he has completely recovered from the injury today, but the injured position on his head can no longer grow hair, and he looks a little leprosy.

Wang Qiang looked at the two sisters who asked for sin, and they were really one head and two big.

"Your father wanted to go back to the Tree Plain, and when I told him not to go, he cried." Wang Qiang said truthfully.

The siblings looked incredulous and turned to ask their father.

Jiang Haohan did not reply, but cried even more.

The movement here finally caught the attention of everyone in the team, and everyone turned their eyes with concern.

Wang Qiang couldn't resist the auspicious three treasures of this family, and finally discussed with Xu Fei and others.

It doesn't turn out to be a surprise, and you don't have any good places to go in the wild, so it seems like a good choice.

Everyone votes and decides where to go based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority, but the choice can only be between the south, the north, and the tree.

The road to the north is completely unknown, and the progress of the exploration of the northward settlement of the lower city is still within a hundred kilometers, and the population in the north was large in the past, and the road traffic was congested, so I really don't know how lucky it is to go north.

As for the road to the south, it is quite clear, but the distance of 600 kilometers is daunting. The entire southern waters are developed, and if there are ships, you may be able to make the idea of going south downstream, but if you want to take the land route, the coverage area of more than ten second- and third-tier cities along the way, as well as two first-tier cities, are all heavy places for human life.

It is not advisable to go north and south, so you can only follow the river to the location of the tree field. Everyone made up their minds, as long as they walked along the river in the direction of Kaixian, maybe they could still meet the city defense team led by Lin San, with the three hundred guns in Xiacheng, everyone would have a sense of security to survive in the wild, and it would not be too late to plan to go south when the time came.

So the decision to go to the tree field was supported by the majority of the people, and without further ado, now that there was a goal, everyone was happy to go.

Wang Qiang opened the way, Xu Fei and others pressed the formation, protecting all the non-combatants in the core of the team.

Wang Qiang, as a former member of the exploration team, has outstanding scout ability, and the outpost is quite wise, and when encountering a small number of zombies, he can cut off the danger alone, and if he sees a slightly larger group of zombies, Wang Qiang will decisively warn to avoid the dangerous area. Along the way, the large army hardly encountered any powerful zombies, and the only thing that was a little scary was that there were often several or a dozen zombie corpses on the side of the road that everyone passed.

The corpses of these zombies were all skulls bursting, their bodies were shattered, and their deaths were extremely cruel. No need to ask, these are Wang Qiang's masterpieces.

Just when Wang Qiang led everyone to shuttle through the deep mountains and old forests, a battle was in full swing in the county seat of Kaixian.

One of Lin San's eyes had been wounded by a stray bullet, and most of his head had been wrapped around bandages at this time.

The pain and slight concussion made Lin San's temper worse and worse, and he often showed stupidity and anger when directing battles.

Originally, Lin San took three hundred soldiers of the city defense team to climb over the mountains and mountains in the jungle and get lost for several days, and at the same time faced constant harassment and invasion by small groups of zombies, and finally entered the county seat of Kaixian County after paying the sacrifices of dozens of people.

Kaixian is like a flower girl without clothes, completely unguarded, the zombies in the county town have all moved out of the city, it is indeed an opportunity, Lin San is happy, happy, happy, cool, leading the brothers of the city defense team to collect all kinds of materials.

After opening the broken iron door of the department store and eliminating a few zombies who had been locked up in it for more than ten years, everything in the department store belonged to Lin San. Piles of clothes, shoes, sheets, bedding, furniture, utensils, etc., are all rare goods that are in short supply in the lower city.

Another team successfully occupied the county hospital after eliminating several beautiful zombies in hot bodies and wearing nurse costumes. The big guy was in a hurry, and everything that could be taken away from the outpatient department to the inpatient department, especially the drug testing room, was swept away. These medicines, whether they have passed their expiration date or not, are treasures that are desperately lacking in the lower city. In the last days, there are many people who are often infected and die due to accidental injuries in the field, and the root cause of this consequence is the lack of medicines.

What's more, the vault of the county People's Bank was blown up, filled with two boxes of gold and carried it to Lin San, as for the soft girl coins of the Republic that used to make people crazy and crazy, they were thrown all over the ground, and they were too small and hard to wipe their butts.

Although it is the last days, the role of gold is still there, especially between settlements, gold is still a hard currency.

Just when Lin San was implementing the three-light policy against Kai County, a strange human armed force quietly entered the county seat and ambushed Lin San's team carrying gas stations. Due to the surprise, none of the members of the squad survived, but before they died, the macho men still blew up the gas station.

The loud rumbling noise and the sky-high fire made Lin San's troops take precautions in advance, and finally did not remain completely passive in the next battle.

In the face of unfamiliar human weapons, the two sides fought in Kaixian without any negotiations.

The zombies in Kaixian County are not there, and anyone will covet the wealth of this zombie watch, and today there is finally a chance, and no one is willing to compromise when Sesame opens the door.

As a result, this fight lasted for a long time.

At first, everyone went all out to try to defeat each other, but after paying dozens of corpses, both sides found that it was unrealistic to completely annihilate the opponent, and everyone's number and vitality were in the middle of the two, and the opposite side was wiped out, and their own people were almost wiped out.

After realizing this, the two sides made adjustments to their strategies, focusing on containment and collecting supplies nearby.

During the subsequent collection of materials, the two sides exchanged fire many times in the Kaixian area, and each suffered casualties.

After this fight, everyone's grievances deepened, and they simply stopped collecting supplies, and specially strangled each other's living forces in the city, and then the chaotic street fighting began.
