Chapter 25 Acting
I don't know how many zombies I'll face next, but there's no way back at the moment. Not far behind us is the road, densely packed with zombies, and there are not many crops on either side for us to hide. Instead of running out and being chased by zombies all over the street, it's better to fight here.
I tensed my nerves and stared in the direction where the footsteps came from, but the footsteps stopped at the edge of the weeds, and then, I saw a big face sneakily peeking out of the weeds, looking at us in surprise.
Where is this Nima a zombie, he is clearly a big living person. Zombies don't just spot us and stand still with that expression.
The thunder blow that had been accumulating for a long time was suffocated by me, and it almost gave me internal injuries.
", it's a living person"
I said this almost at the same time as the sneaky face, and then I saw five people coming out of the weeds one after another. This made my nerves, which had just been relaxed, tense up again.
I wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that in these last days, all the survivors will be united and love each other. After losing the constraints of morality and law, the most dangerous thing is not the zombies, but the same kind after the fall.
Seeing that I was staring at them with my knife across my chest, the other party also hurriedly put on a formation, and the two sides confronted each other like this. There were five people on the other side, all of whom were men, the oldest seemed to be in their thirties, while the youngest seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. Of course, while I was observing them, they were also looking at us, and for a long time, the oldest man tapped them on the shoulder and made them relax.
"Don't you see that people still have women, why are you so nervous, look at your little bit of interest." The man reprimanded them a few times, then said to me with a smile, "Friend, don't be nervous, we don't have any ill intentions. β
The so-called person who doesn't hit the smiling face, seeing him like this, I can't hold it, and slowly put down the hand that is across my chest, but I still haven't let go of the kitchen knife in my hand.
I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with what he had just said, and before I had time to think about it, he walked over to me with a smile on his face, and said as he walked, "Hello, my name is Hu Feiqi, and they are all my brothers." It's not easy for everyone to survive, and since you have encountered it, you should work together to survive, don't make the atmosphere so tense, okay. β
Seeing that he was walking towards me so defenselessly with empty hands, I gave enough sincerity, so I had no choice but to put away the knife and shake his hand.
After a brief introduction between the two sides, I learned that they were all residents of this town before, and they also survived the cataclysm. Since there are zombies everywhere now, they don't know where to escape, so they simply hide in the nearby fields, and occasionally look for opportunities to go to the town to find some food to come back and live. And when he heard that we were coming all the way from the tourist area, I always felt that he looked at me meaningfully.
I had a lot of questions for them about the search for supplies, after all, we were here to find supplies, and when I heard that they often went to town to look for food and came back, I humbly asked for advice. The guy surnamed Hu was also refreshed, and he told me about it 1510.
It turns out that the method they use is similar to ours, which is to catch a lone zombie and bleed it, and then disguise itself as a zombie to collect food. Of course, this is not a very safe solution, and they don't seem to know that zombies will rest in the early hours of the morning, and they have lost a few companions because of it.
I always felt like they didn't tell me a lot of things, but when I think about it, in the past, few people would easily take care of another person, let alone this situation now. I thought about it for a while, but I decided to tell me about the rest of the zombies, since everyone wants to cooperate, I have to show some sincerity, right?
As soon as I finished speaking, the man surnamed Hu had a suddenly realized expression on his face, and he patted me very excitedly and said that this is a big discovery, no wonder you can come from such a long distance, it seems that it is not just luck.
"Where, where, it's really all luck." I casually said a few polite words, and the man surnamed Hu said that he would go and discuss with his brothers, and if he could, go to the town in the evening to collect some food and come back. Seeing that they had a small meeting, I pulled the fat man aside and muttered.
"If you want to act with them at night, you definitely can't bring Xiaocui and Xu Man. But we can't fully trust them yet, so fat man, wait for you to find something to do, try to exclude you from the action, you stay to protect Xiaocui and Xu Man, and I'll just follow them. β
Xu Man's expression was very flat, and he just nodded slightly. Although Xiao Cui didn't say much, the worry on her face was obvious and could be seen. The fat man on the side looked thoughtful, and just wanted to say something to me, but he glanced behind me, but he still didn't say anything. I looked back and saw that the other party should have finished the meeting, and Hu Feiqi had already walked towards me.
We sat in a dilapidated house, and we were hanging out with each other. When they first told me that this was their hiding place, I walked around this small house a few times, and found that it was surrounded by vigorous cornfields, and there was just a circle of empty space of about ten meters outside the house, which could not only hide but also detect the wandering zombies in time, which was indeed a good place.
The two sides continued to talk until it was getting dark, and then the unnutritious conversation stopped. Hu Feiqi said something to a few people next to him, and saw two young men walking out with their guys. I pretended to be very casual and asked them why they went and if they wanted to help, but the surnamed Hu smiled and said that let them go out hunting, don't we have to pretend to be zombies at night.
If you come here, you will be safe, and everyone has said so, and I can't talk about this issue anymore. I'd be happy if they did get their prey back, but if they wanted to play any tricks, hehe, I'm not a vegetarian either. After all, with neither side having firearms, I think that if I really fight with them with this strength, I should not suffer any loss.
Not long after, the two young men did come back with a corpse, and looking at their breezy expressions, it was obvious that this kind of thing had not been done less.
Hu Feiqi greeted us warmly to eat, but I refused.
"You don't have much food, and we have some of our own, so let's eat some each. When we come back safely in the evening, we'll have a good celebration. β
I said it very directly, and I guess the person surnamed Hu also understood what I meant, but he didn't care, smiled and sat aside, and had dinner with his brothers.
"Be careful, these are by no means good stubble." I lowered my voice and said a word to the three of them, and then tore open a packet of cookies and ate them. Seeing that the fat man still had a puzzled expression, I whispered again: "I still can't do it, with a dead zombie next to me, and still eat dried meat leisurely." β
Immediately, I glanced at the fat man, and the fat man immediately understood, holding his stomach and shouting to go and put the grass, which made the two girls lose their appetite in an instant. After a few bites, I leaned against the wall, closed my eyes and began to recuperate.
It wasn't until about 3 a.m. that I opened my eyes and found that they were still smoking by the fire, so I asked them why they didn't rest.
"Hey, your fat brother doesn't know what he eats, he ran to the toilet seven or eight times this night, and we can't sleep because of the toss."
Hearing them say this, I looked at the "pale" fat man, and said in my heart that this fat man performed quite well. He reprimanded the fat man: "Look at what you have tossed people into, you have to go out to play for your life this time, what if you don't spend your physical strength on anything." β
The fat man looked at me with an aggrieved face, saying that maybe the grapes I ate in the morning were sprayed with too many pesticides, which would make me lose my strength.
"Damn, why didn't I poison you to death after eating too many pesticides?" While secretly scolding the fat man's clumsy excuse, I gave Hu Feiqi an inquiring look.
"It's okay, it's normal to have a bad stomach in the summer. It's nothing for us to come, but looking at Brother Zhu like this, it seems that he can't act with us. The surnamed Hu smiled and said: "Let him stay to protect the two sisters, Wang Er, you also stay, you will be outside when we are not there, so that Brother Zhu can have a good rest." β
As soon as I heard that the other party was so cooperative, I instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly wondered if I was thinking too much.
The one who was left behind was the youngest, a young man named Wang Er, and I couldn't help but evaluate it, and felt that there was no reason for him to suffer with the fat man's body, so I was relieved. He went to "dress up" with Hu Feiqi and his other three brothers.
dragged the body out, and didn't let me do it, Hu Feiqi beckoned the two young men to do it and bleed. Seeing them giggling while chopping corpses, my uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. From time to time, he glanced at Hu Feiqi beside him, and he kept smiling as he watched his two brothers slash at the zombies. I quickly recalled all the time I had met them until now, and although there were many suspicious places, it only showed that they didn't trust us either. In addition, since the other party can simply let the fat man stay, I really can't think of any horses, so I can only shake my head and suppress the doubts in my heart.
When the darkness was about to come completely, a group of five of us had already arrived at the side of the road at the entrance of the town, lying on the grass in blood, waiting for the darkness before dawn.
