Chapter 147: Shuhe New Base
"Do you want to split up? You go to catch the corpse king, and we rescue the survivors? "I don't think a few zombie leaders need everyone to go with me, thinking that those living people are still struggling in despair, I want to go to them quickly.
"It's best not to separate, what if there are still corpses in this town? It's safe for everyone to stay together. Zhang Xiaomei disagreed with this, "If this ancient town is already safe, there is no difference between saving them early and saving them later, be careful!" Destroy the zombie leaders and find the living together. ”
We searched room to room in the bar street, these rooms were filled with the smell of rancid and bloody, and the human bones on the ground were everywhere, it was like a monster cave in Journey to the West! You can imagine how many times these zombies feasted in the bar......
We didn't see a single zombie, let alone the zombie leader, it was obvious that they had fled, when they sent all the zombies to fight to the death with us, they probably had the worst plan, I changed myself to the position of the zombie leader to think about the whole thing, and actually understood their approach, since we appeared, whether it was luring zombies out to slaughter outside the ancient town, or taking advantage of the night to enter the town to rescue people, and also invited Mu Zhi and Hong Jian to fight them with all their might, all kinds of circumstances show that we are a group of strong enemies who will not stop until they achieve their goals, If I were the head of the zombies, I would choose to use the last bargaining chip to fight hard with the enemy, and then give up this lair, take advantage of the chaos to escape, to find a new den, to form a new zombie army, you know, in this world, the living may not be easy to find, zombies are everywhere, the first corpses with the ability to control the corpse, will not care about the loss of these thousand eight hundred stupid zombies.
We've fallen for the corpse king's trick to divert the tiger from the mountain! Maybe when we were lying on the roof and shooting the corpses, they had quietly left Lijiang from the opposite direction.
The biggest characteristic of the first corpse is that they know how to avoid the evil and be lucky, which is the ability they have since they just started to recover their IQ.
"If you chase them, they will definitely not be in the ancient town, and they don't know which direction they will flee to. Our purpose is to save people, and now the goal has been achieved! Zhu Hong listened to the results of my analysis for everyone and nodded, "That's it, it's good." ”
We rescued more than 400 people from the ancient town, and we didn't know where they had gone, and we didn't have the energy to look for them. I heard the people who had just been rescued mention that it was possible that the more than 100 people had gone to Shuhe Ancient Town, which was also a good place to hide.
These more than 400 people have a psychological shadow of extreme fear of Dayan Ancient Town, even if this place has been recovered from the zombies, they resolutely refuse to stay in the town, and they all decide to go to Shuhe Ancient Town to continue living.
Banlangen's grandfather was not spared, and the girl squatted on the ground and cried breathlessly, grief-stricken.
Shuhe Ancient Town is not far from Dayan Ancient Town, these more than 400 people support each other, and march together in the direction of Shuhe, we are not at ease, and pull a few older people to Shuhe to explore first, what if this place is also occupied by zombies?
The fact is gratifying that more than 100 people have indeed arrived in the ancient town of Shuhe, plus the more than 200 survivors of Shuhe, who are building walls and digging deep graves for corpses, which is a method that is common throughout the country.
Seeing us coming, those people were still very frightened at first, after knowing our identity, the more than 100 people who were rescued by us were very grateful, and they were very hurried to save them that night, and everyone in the dark couldn't see clearly, and they didn't dare to say more under the threat of zombies, they fled desperately out of the wall, and came directly to Shuhe, and did not look for a hidden place to hide in the periphery of the ancient city.
The refuge base of Shuhe Ancient Town has been built in a good way, and they have learned the lesson of the sneak attack of the zombies in Dayan Ancient Town, and they know that some zombies have bright brains and dare not underestimate them anymore, in their words, they used to treat zombies as animals, but now they have to be seen as bad people, and they have to be cunning bad people.
With a sense of prevention, we are a little relieved to the remaining survivors in Lijiang, and when all the survivors arrive at Shuhe Ancient Town, we will also stop in Xingu Town to take some rest and recuperation.
The more people there are, the more powerful the more powerful there are, there are now a total of seven or eight hundred people in Shuhe Ancient Town, the people who have just been rescued have a full stomach, and they have a good rest, their physical strength is recovering, and they will soon participate in the protection project, they no longer want to be raised by zombies as piglets, and spend every day in the fear of being eaten.
During the few days we stayed in Shuhe, we also relaxed a lot, Banlangen's mood eased, and she quietly told me that in fact, she also knew that her grandfather was more auspicious and less lucky, but he just didn't give up.
It turned out that Banlangen was not a local girl in Lijiang, but a native of Shanghai, she and her grandfather went to Lijiang to settle in an inn, because her grandfather liked the environment of Lijiang, and specially used to spend his old age in peace, and her parents' work belonged to the trapeze, so she was always lonely when she stayed in Shanghai, and would rather live in Lijiang with her grandfather.
"Do you have any news from your parents?"
"No...... I thought about going back to Shanghai to find them, but they weren't necessarily in Shanghai at the time, and they were abroad for most of the year. Banlangen shook his head gloomily.
"We haven't been to Shanghai yet, maybe we have the opportunity to go in the future." I patted the little girl on the head.
"Sister Duo, can you take me?" Banlangen suddenly pleaded.
"Xiaolan, our next stop is Liangguang, the road is dangerous, and we definitely didn't stay at the Shuhe base to live in Ansheng, you have to think about it." I don't care if I take one more girl on the road, but if I do, I am responsible for her safety, and I can't guarantee that I will return safely on the future journey.
"I feel so lonely when I stay here, my grandfather is gone, and I'm a girl from out of town...... Sister Duo, I'm not afraid, just take me with you, didn't you go back to Chengdu in the end? Is it possible to go to Shanghai to find a base in the future? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't go to Shanghai, I just want to go with you......" Banlangen's little face was pitiful.
I suddenly softened, and after a few days together, this girl is also quite likable, clever, fast, and has the ability to protect herself.
"Xiaolan, I have to tell you first, we are not exactly the Chengdu base, in fact, we came from the northeast, has been trying to find a safe base that is most suitable for survival, so far, we have not found a completely safe place, the Chengdu base is not perfect, we don't think about whether to stay after we go back, so we are like a group of duckweed, I don't know where it will drift tomorrow, you have to think about what kind of life you want, and finally choose where to stay." I said this to Banlangen very frankly, because I was afraid that she would expect too much from us, and we would toss her everywhere and she couldn't bear it.
Banlangen tilted his head and thought for a long time, I don't know why she refused to stay in Shuhe, the corpse king has given up here, and it is unlikely that she will come back, after all, the zombies here let us wipe out all of them, unless the corpse kings have any special feelings for Lijiang, and go to other places to gather enough troops and kill a horse pistol, even so, the survivors of Shuhe have been prepared and will not wet their shoes again in the same river.
Therefore, Shuhe Ancient Town, in my eyes, is a relatively safe base, and it is very suitable for Banlangen to hide.
"Nope! I'll go with you! Banlangen said stubbornly, I won't ask the reason anymore.
Shuhe Ancient Town has not been damaged by zombies much, there are few ordinary tourists here, unlike the eternal flow of people in Dayan Ancient Town, so the number of mutated zombies is much less, and it is easy to be cleaned up by the brave Naxi people, which will walk on the bluestone road of the ancient town, as if everything is back to the past.
The people of Shuhe Ancient Town have only one means of transportation, that is, the Dian horse, these short and sturdy horses are very good at trekking long distances in the mountains, and the Naxi men ride horses every day to form a team to the mountains near Shuhe Ancient Town to grow grain, mainly potatoes and corn.
I like horseback riding, I used to come to Lijiang to go horseback riding on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and the route I chose was the farthest, I sat on horseback for five hours, and when I came back, I found that the roots of my thighs were almost worn out. But I still like the feeling of being on horseback, as comfortable as a cradle when it's slow, and like flying in the wind when it's fast, as if it has grown wings and flies.
Seeing the Naxi people of Shuhe riding horses to and fro, I couldn't help but envy it, what a primitive and wild life, listening to these men, they have encountered small corpses, everyone worked together to ride horses to kill the enemy, and the horses were also angry, and they kicked and trampled those zombies fiercely, trampling on the zombies' brains, and they had no ability to attack the horses at all.
Of course, if only one horse encounters a herd of corpses, it is dangerous.
There is a restaurant specializing in Tibetan cuisine in Shuhe Ancient Town, the owner is an authentic Tibetan, she knew that we were afterwards, specially invited us to come, invited us to drink fragrant butter tea, she apologized and said, because of the lack of raw materials, many delicacies can no longer be made, otherwise we will be invited to eat authentic Tibetan food.
The boss is called Zhuoma, she has something to ask for, her hometown is in Shangri-La, after the accident, because she is alone in Shuhe, even if she is homesick, she does not dare to go back, she begged us to send her to Diqing, the rest of the way, she will figure it out by herself.
Diqing is not far from Lijiang, only separated by a Jinsha River, the road is 200 kilometers, only four hours by car, and it is far away on foot.
Luo Han has been very silent since he entered Dolma's house, and when he heard that we had agreed to send her back to Diqing, he was very unhappy, and he went out, and he didn't know what kind of madness he had, and everyone knew that he had a big heart, and no one cared.
A few days later, we saw that the ancient town of Shuhe was calm and there were no more zombies disturbing us, so we took our leave and prepared to leave.
Lijiang people like to make a kind of dough cake called Lijiang Baba, which is bigger than the baked cake and is very hungry, and the enthusiastic Naxi people have made a lot for us to take with us on the road.
This time, there is more Banlangen, the little girl, and Zhuoma, we have to send her to Diqing first and then go to Guangxi.
