Chapter 24 I am not the savior
When night came again, we lit a fire in an abandoned house in the field. Although the straight-line distance was not very far, we were moving slowly in the fields in broad daylight.
At this time, we sat around the fire, boiling hot water, and at the same time scooped out some coals to roast the cleaned voles. We should have been in the town ahead by this time, but as I didn't know anything about the situation there, I decided to rest here for the night and wait until dawn before heading forward. The township is a populous area, and I don't know how many dangers await us.
We didn't dare to make the fire too big, the two palm-sized fires crackled and burned, and when the water boiled, everyone drank some hot water and ate something, Xiaocui and Xu Man went to clean up the area in the corner.
The vole on the fire has just been roasted, and the fat man is not afraid of being hot, so he gnaws directly. I hurriedly beckoned the two girls to come and try it, but both of them said that they had no appetite anymore, so the three voles were cleaned up by me and the fat man.
After dinner, I asked Xiaocui and Xu Man to rest first. By this time the corners of the house had been cleaned up and the sheets had been laid out, while the fat man and I were sitting by the door and smoking, perfecting our plan for seclusion. Of course, in terms of the fat man's IQ, he can only play a role of praise, basically I am saying, and he agrees. With his shape, I couldn't help but think of a classic line.
"Master, what the senior brother said is right."
I talked for a long time, and seeing that the fat man really couldn't make any constructive suggestions, I patted him helplessly, and said Second junior brother, you go to sleep first, I came to guard in the first half of the night, so I sent him to rest.
Although the doors and windows of this house are still intact, there is nothing wrong with being careful, and it is still more reliable to be vigilant in a dangerous environment. I leaned against the wall, quietly guarding the fire by myself, and I couldn't help but start to remember my life.
Not long ago, I was a small shop owner with no ideals, but now, I have to bear the fate of a few people, thinking of this, I can't help but think of Gao Jian, as a new generation of zombies, but was tied up like a dumpling locked in the room, and it was really hard. I continued to think so crankily until dawn, when I saw that there was no movement, so I didn't wake up the fat man, and leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
I slept very lightly, and it wasn't long before I was awakened by the sound of a soot. When I looked up, it turned out that except for the fat man, everyone else had woken up. When the two girls went out to solve their personal problems, I went over and kicked the fat man awake and asked him to help pack his luggage.
When Xiaocui and the others came back, they simply ate something, and we carried the supplies on our backs and continued to walk in the direction of the town.
As we got closer to the township, there were fewer and fewer fields on the side of the road, so we had to move more carefully until we saw the sign of the gas station on the side of the road in the distance. Let the fat man protect the two girls, and I will go to the convenience store at the gas station to find some food.
Since we didn't have much water with us when we came out to try to lighten our load, we had planned to go to the town to refill it, but due to cleaning a few voles yesterday, now there is only a small bottle of water left. God knows how long it will take to find the supplies needed in the town, and since they have bumped into them, there is no reason to leave empty-handed.
I tiptoed out of the already thin cornfield, slowly approaching the gas station, the road was full of broken down or colliding cars, the dark road did not find a car to drive at that time, it was really right, otherwise I would have been blocked if I had not been hit.
"Holy"
When I finally saw the whole gas station, I couldn't help but curse. I saw that the small gas station on the side of the county-level highway was surrounded by zombies. If it's okay to have scattered zombies, this black pressure is less than dozens of zombies around, I don't think I have the ability to put them all together.
No t no group attack, as a kitchen knife, I really don't dare to pull in a group. When I went back and told me what I had seen, everyone was silent.
"Forget it, let's get to town and figure it out."
Xu Man made a statement first. It's no wonder that for her, she has experienced too much recently, which has overwhelmed her fragile heart, and Xiaocui, the silly girl, cares about whether the people trapped inside will be in danger.
"I said Sister Xiaocui, how do you know that there are still people there."
The fat man didn't seem willing to take the risk either, questioning Xiao Cui. And I said directly, "Why are so many zombies around when no one is there?" Queue up to refuel? Or grab a snack? ”
Hearing that I seemed to have a plan to save people, the fat man hurriedly said, "Don't be a little beast, even if there are people in there who are not related to us, do you really plan to risk saving them?" If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about us, what if something happens to us? Brother, I'm counting on you for the rest of my life. ”
"."
The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and I quickly interrupted him.
In fact, I really have plans to save people in the past, after all, I can help others in this last days, everyone forms a team, and there are many people to take care of. But after looking at Xiao Cui, I still gave up.
Yes, I'm not a savior, I can't save everyone, all I can do is protect the people around me.
Putting aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, he didn't say anything more, and continued to walk towards the town with the group. As soon as I walked past the gas station, I heard a few sounds of glass breaking, and when I looked back, I saw that the zombies had rushed into the convenience store of the gas station. I hurriedly asked the three of them to lie down and hide, but fortunately, the zombies' attention was on the breached convenience store and they didn't notice us. Soon after, I saw a few people running onto the roof of the gas station, looking around in panic.
"Hey, help, help us!"
Since we were standing relatively high, they should have also spotted us hiding in the field and immediately started shouting at us for help. This cry for help made the zombies below even more crazy, and even the zombies that were wandering in the distance were alarmed, and they rushed towards the gas station.
I saw that the neighborhood was becoming more and more dangerous, and before the zombies found us, I hurriedly beckoned everyone to move forward. And the people on the roof saw us walking farther and farther, and couldn't help but make louder noises, even mixed with some insults. I glanced back at them, and though they were far away, I seemed to see the desperation on their faces.
I gritted my teeth and led the little cui and her sisters towards the town without saying a word, resisting the urge to turn back. As the cries for help grew quieter and more indistinct, until I couldn't hear them at all, I let out a heavy sigh.
"I'm sorry, I'm not a savior."
After that, everyone seemed to feel the depression in my heart, and they didn't speak, except for picking some unripe grapes in a vineyard to quench their thirst, the rest of the time they just hurried with their heads bored.
The closer we got to the town, the more zombies there were, until the fields were cut off, and we really couldn't go any further, so we could only lie down in the weeds on the side of the road and observe the situation.
"Hey, little beast, look at whether that is Li Dan'er."
I looked in the direction the fat man was pointing, and sure enough, I found a familiar face, although it was no longer human, but on closer inspection, I could still recognize that the guy was a playmate who grew up with me and the fat man.
I couldn't find a way out for the time being, so I could only lie on the grass and observe, and that's it, more and more familiar figures appeared in the eyes of me and the fat man. I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky, but I never saw my parents among them.
"I said that everyone in the village had gone along the road, and they had all come to town. What are they doing here? ”
I said a word to come to the market, and I didn't pay any more attention to him, and after a while I turned around and found that the fat man was pondering something.
This guy can't be a scene of a zombie gathering in his brain.
"Let's take a look, fresh male thigh meat"
"Heart, freshly pulled out heart, sold cheaply"
When I thought about it, I felt sick to my stomach, and I scolded myself for being too active in my imagination.
After a while, the fat man asked me little beast, are we just lying here and pretending to be Qiu Shaoyun? I thought about it, but I couldn't find any good way to enter the town at present, so I could only beckon everyone to follow me and quietly retreat to the grape grove just now, and rest for a while.
"Brother Yan, it's really not okay, let's take a detour, there are too many zombies here."
After recovering some strength, Xu Man hurriedly made his suggestion, but I directly rejected it.
We don't have a lot of supplies with us, and they're being consumed all the time. According to the previous plan, before we can find the ideal place to retreat, we must constantly replenish food and water, and march down the mountain in the form of war. And as it stands, I'm still thinking too simply.
Indeed, not to mention that there were quite a few people in this town, and almost all of them became zombies after the change, plus the zombies in the vicinity who gathered for unknown reasons, this crowded place is really not suitable for venturing to find supplies. But we don't have much food and water to carry with us, and even if we abandon this place and continue to move forward, who can guarantee that we will be able to replenish supplies smoothly in the next place?
Seeing that I insisted on going into town, the people did not say anything on this subject. After all, Xiaocui has always been what I say, and the fat man is my friend who grew up together, and he trusts me much less than Xiaocui. As for Xu Man, hehe.
After thinking about it, I really couldn't think of any good way to break through, so I had no choice but to use the old way and pretend to be a zombie and run in in the early hours of the morning.
Xiaocui and Xu Man have tried it once before, although they are still a little afraid, but they can accept it. And the fat man, who had never done this before, felt that he had an eager expression no matter how he looked at it.
I shook my head, and my heart said that it was worthy of my small hair, and this nerve was only thick and thin compared to me.
I just wanted to make a joke to relieve the slightly depressing atmosphere, but I heard footsteps not far away, and there seemed to be more than one sound. I hurriedly picked up the kitchen knife and stared at the direction where the footsteps came from, and at the same time motioned to the fat man to protect Xiaocui and them.
nnd, try the master's double knife flow.
