Chapter Seventy-Three: Let Ya Run
The zombie had just retreated to the edge of the woods, and this shot made it retreat violently, and even the Hong Sword behind it was swallowed up by the woods.
"Did you miss? Did you hit or not? The few people next to him all shouted, desperately looking in that direction.
The thunderstorm remained motionless, waiting for the next opportunity, but Hong Jian and the tall zombie disappeared.
"If Hong Jian was a short man, he would have escaped death." The thunderstorm finally sounded.
"Even if he's not short, but he's low, he'll be able to keep his life." Zhang Xiaomei added, "Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely lie very low." ”
In fact, all along, only Dr. Ali, Wu Yao, Feng Lin and Zeng Hua have really seen Hong Jian, but these four people are not on the city wall, and we have never discussed the size of this mysterious guy, and it is not a blind date meeting, who would think of asking this person's height, but everyone has seen the sketches drawn by Wu Yao and knows that he looks very ordinary.
This will be a waste of time, thunderstorm put the sniper rifle, pick up the bow and arrow with us to shoot the overwhelming corpses, but also in the past few months, in addition to desperately building the wall, we are desperately making bows and arrows, otherwise these tens of thousands of zombies are surrounded outside, and the arrows are used up again, and we still have to consume all the remaining bullets.
And now that we've built the outer walls so high, we can't reach the zombies' heads with spears or anything, and bows and arrows are the only weapons at the moment.
The battle lasted until dark, and we only eliminated a small fraction of the zombies.
But it doesn't matter, they can't get in if they die, so we calmly retreat to the town, leaving behind the guards guarding the gates, and the rest of the soldiers go back to the town to eat and rest, and wait for the next day to continue the battle.
Uncle Kai and the three stayed in the town for the night, so they couldn't get out, but they couldn't notify the townspeople of Seven Star Town, for fear that they would be worried.
At dinner in the evening, we asked Dr. Ali what is the height of Hong Jian, and Dr. Ali gave a precise number: 1.77.5 meters, so it seems that Hong Jian is not short, we are a little happy, he is very likely to be sniped in the head by a thunderstorm, maybe he fell into the woods, we can't see it, and when these zombies go out to clean up, we will see if we can find Hong Jian's body.
Uncle Kai's family of three accommodation is arranged by Medlow, although Ah Xiao was tired for a short day, but she was very interested, reluctant to go to bed too early, insisted on going home with me to play, she likes children very much, but also likes giant pandas, a handsome handsome, a while to hug the boy, busy and happy, I look at her, I feel like a little girl who has not grown up, very lovely.
We were playing and chatting, the second brother came, he was looking for me to discuss the formal training of bows and arrows for Shuai Shuai, I looked at the little fat man, unconsciously, he grew from a milk doll to a "four-year-old" young man, it was time to practice skills, so he agreed to let Shuai Shuai receive training.
The second brother was very happy, he said that he had already made a beautiful and sturdy small bow for Shuai Shuai, and also engraved the word "Shuai" on the bow, as the first gift from the master to the apprentice, I was really happy for Shuai Shuai, and asked Mo'er and Xiyan how it was, and the second brother said that Xiyan took Mo'er wholeheartedly, and everything was fine at home.
We were chatting when the second brother suddenly asked, "What is Auntie crying about?" ”
I turned my head strangely to see that my mother was gently wiping her right eye with a towel, startling me.
The old mother raised her head and smiled at the second brother, "Auntie didn't cry, it's just that my eyes are uncomfortable these days." ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately plucked my heart, "What's wrong with your eyes?" Mom, why didn't you say it earlier, it's not that the town doesn't have a hospital, and we still have Dr. Kerr. ”
Mom shook her head, "I just looked for Ke'er this morning, she is not an ophthalmologist, I dare not draw conclusions, hey, if you want me to say that this is just her age, it is not a big problem, you don't need to see any doctor." ”
I went over to take a closer look at my mother's right eye, the eyelids next to the bridge of the nose were a little red and swollen, the eyeballs were fine, and I couldn't help but criticize her, "Mom, what kind of point of view do you have, if you are sick, you should go to see and treat it in time, and it will be difficult to treat when a small problem becomes a big problem, it's really you." ”
Dad suddenly said, "Your mother refuses to go to the hospital, I'm worried about her, I secretly went to the hospital to find an ophthalmologist for consultation, but the ophthalmology doctor in the town hospital has long become a zombie, and now the doctor in the town hospital is particularly incomplete." ”
Ah Xiao, who was holding the boy next to him and playing with him, listened to it, "Doctor of ophthalmology?" We have a powerful ophthalmologist in Qixing Town, it turns out that she works in a big hospital in the city, and after the outbreak of the end of the world, she followed her colleagues to the mountains for refuge, and she just happened to go to our town, so it is better to let Niangniang go to our Qixing Town to find her. ”
The second brother looked at her strangely, "You're not from this town?" I said look at you in the eyes. ”
I hurriedly introduced to him, just now I saw Ah Xiao just cares about playing, and I didn't specifically introduce the second brother when he came in, "Her name is Ah Xiao, she is the daughter of the mayor of the neighboring town, their town is called Qixing Town, and now they are our allies, and they have to help each other when they are in trouble." ”
Ah Xiao got up and sat down beside me, "When we go back to Qixing Town, we will take my mother back with us, Sister Duo is right, if you are sick, you should be treated early." ”
My mother's eyes must be very uncomfortable, and there is no ophthalmologist in this town, and she is afraid that I will be worried so she just said that, and she will be very happy to hear that there is an ophthalmologist.
"Okay, I'll go with my mother." I am extremely grateful to this friendly town for forming an alliance, but I didn't expect that the first person to benefit was my mother.
At dawn the next day, the soldiers returned to the battlefield - the head of the city wall, and continued the work that had not been finished yesterday, and those zombies were really dedicated, and it was estimated that they had been pestle under the wall all night, but they could not see fatigue, and they saw the human figure on the wall, and roared excitedly, as if they were yesterday.
Everyone stretched their muscles, Luohan also did a set of radio gymnastics, Zhang Xiaomei laughed and scolded on the side, "Toss!" Look at the flowers you toss, move small, don't plant them outside the wall for a while. ”
Luo Han shouted loudly and picked up his big crossbow, he has been making crossbow arrows for a while, so that people who are used to crossbows are unwilling to use bows.
"How good is the grain we grow, such a large area, how long will it take to eat after harvesting." Luo Han always speaks amazingly, and he doesn't know why he didn't eat enough for breakfast, but he can also think of eating when he looks at a large pile of zombies.
"Let's reap it as grain." Zhang Xiaomei knocked down a zombie with one arrow, and we stopped talking nonsense and started the intensive "harvest".
Lunch consisted of rice balls and soup that Medlo had ordered, and the women and boys who didn't fight had brought it to the wall, saving us from tossing back and forth, and saving time to rest for a while.
It was very tiring to shoot arrows with the bow in a row, and in the end I felt that both arms and fingers became weak, and every time I pulled the bow, it was very difficult, which would envy the Arhat, whose big crossbow could be pestled to the ground and step on both hands to pull the bowstring upwards, but the traditional bow and arrow could not be used to help with the feet.
"Rohan, your crossbow is good." I say.
"A crossbow is a hassle to make, but it's easy to use, the opposite of a bow and arrow." Rohan grinned, "Go back and ask the ghost to make some crossbows for the women, and see that your arms are trembling." ”
I looked at my feet, there were large piles of corpses, and there were not many living dead people left who could still move.
"If you can finish the battle today, you will have to start the crematorium and barbecue tomorrow, that job is the most annoying." I simply dropped my bow and massaged my arms.
"The old man watches the wind at night, tomorrow it will be a southwest wind, and the stinky smoke will not blow into the town, just right." Luohan was stinky and poor, and continued to shoot a crossbow of arrows.
We do have to look at the direction of the wind when we burn the corpses, and if the wind is blowing towards the town, we just wait until the wind changes direction and then burn again, trying not to let this terrible smell fill the town.
After a whole day, this wave of corpses was finally completely cleaned up, and seeing that it was dark again, we withdrew to the town to sleep and rest, and the cleanup work was not in a hurry.
A new day came, the soldiers opened the gate of the town and began to carry the corpses of the zombies, all the trucks and carts in the town were dispatched, and the corpses were concentrated around the incinerator, the furnace had been lit, and the newly covered chimney was billowing smoke, yes, while building the high wall, the low chimney of the incinerator was transformed into a high chimney, which allowed the smoke to disperse better in the air, instead of drifting directly into the town.
The first thing we did was to rummage through the corpse where Hong Jian and the zombie had disappeared, but what made us feel cold was that only the corpse of the zombie whose spine had been broken by a sniper bullet had fallen by the tree, and it had lost its vitality, and it was empty.
Hong Jian, a treacherous guy, escaped again.
Uncle Kai's family of three can also go back to Qixing Town, accompanied by Ah Hu and a few guards, plus me and my parents and I, the thunderstorm drove us to follow Uncle Kai and Ah Hu's car and set off together.
"Xiaobang, aren't you busy?" Mom asked in the back seat of the car.
"I'm damn, can I follow you when you go out of town? As for my sister's two hits, I don't feel at ease. "Thunderstorms don't save me face at all.
"As long as you can!" I sat in the passenger seat holding my katana, thinking about the crying appearance of Shuai Shuai being carried home by his father just now, he thought that we were going out to play without him, angry, so he refused to let us go, and finally Canaan simply came to the hard and carried him home on his shoulder.
"I'm still a child, I don't know if it's too early to start learning arrows." I muttered to myself.
Thunderstorm knew that I was talking about the training of Shuai Shuai and his second brother, "As long as he feels interested, it will not be early, if he is not interested, sister, I advise you not to force him to practice, once he becomes disgusted with archery, he may not be able to learn it when he grows up." ”
"It's also Ha, adults think that things are very important, children often regard it as a burden, like the current archery practice, and the previous Olympiad, piano, I hear the most sentence is, don't let the child lose at the starting line. What does winning and losing mean? What is the height of life? Social status? For a child, isn't childhood supposed to be fun to play and eat? In order to live a better life as an adult, you have a bad childhood, and the gains outweigh the losses, right? I suddenly sighed.
