The scavenger mercenaries in Wanxiang City are busy loading their loot onto the bus, and although there is a small episode along the way, this mission can be regarded as a big profit. The old wolf leaned against the back door of the bus, watching his men carry boxes of supplies on board, smoking cigarettes in contentment.

He looked back at Yang Shanao, who was sitting by the door and whispering to Li Qin, and asked with a little disdain and curiosity: "Hey, what kind of official are you?" ”

Hearing the old wolf ask, Yang Shanao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Official? What officer? I was originally the commander of the operation team, and that's it. ”

The old wolf tugged at his collar, implying that he knew that the rank of the old wolf's rank was obviously not the same level as Li Qin beside him; Yang Shanao also nodded in acquiescence. The old wolf continued to ask, "What is the situation outside?" ”

"If you talk about Hainan, the government is functioning normally, the army is maintaining order, the local population is starting to recover, and although there are still several quarantine areas where the epidemic continues, overall it is definitely better than here." Yang Shanao glanced at the jungle outside the window and continued, "The world has basically lost contact with each other, and we don't know what the situation is abroad, but I heard that some countries in Europe have directly detonated nuclear bombs. Of course, this is just a rumor. ”

"Are your stuff okay?" The old wolf pointed with his chin to the safe that Li Qin, who was sitting next to Yang Shanao, was holding on his lap.

"Thank you for not ruining it." Li Qin interjected sarcastically.

Yang Shanao took over the conversation and said with a smile: "The container is not damaged, but I hope to put it in a safe place as soon as possible." You have a cooler, right? ”

"I guess, I don't understand." The old wolf shrugged and said, "Do you look at me like this, like I know some kind of refrigerator?" But one thing you can rest assured is that the head of our safe zone is very willing to support the work of researching vaccines, so I've heard that the research is very well equipped and we have electricity. ”

"That's good."

"By the way, you two can't complete your task anyway now, what's the use of being so obsessed with this vaccine? To put it mildly, the thing you have now is not a vaccine for this virus. ”

"It's not up to you." The old wolf's words seemed to arouse Li Qin's dissatisfaction.

Compared with Li Qin, Yang Shanao was still calm, like a patient missionary priest, and smiled: "Each of us has our own mission, and my mission is to protect this vaccine, that's all." ”

"Boss." A mercenary interrupted the conversation between the old wolf and Yang Shanao, "We're almost finished loading, shouldn't we call Huang Weizheng and them back?" ”

The old wolf pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and asked the mercenary to bring him the walkie-talkie on his body; This is the benefit of having an electric supply, and the scavengers in Wanxiang City can now use radio communications with confidence, which provides more convenience when carrying out search missions in normal times. "The hunt is over, hunter please return, hunter please return ......"

After the old wolf called, the other end of the walkie-talkie was silent for a while, and just when the old wolf wanted to call again, Zhang Xiaoying's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The hunter asks for an extension of the hunting time, is it allowed." ”

The old wolf shook his head helplessly and responded: "Not allowed, return immediately, the hunter will return immediately, you only have twenty minutes, return immediately." ”

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, someone first turned on the intercom, but he didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, Zhang Xiaoying reluctantly replied: "Understand, the hunter is ready to return to the ...... now."

"Do those two of your subordinates know the others?" Sensing that the old wolf was in distress, Yang Shanao said curiously.

"Yes, that's why it's so much trouble." The old wolf complained and ordered the driver to start the bus, he was not willing to talk about the relationship between Huang Weizheng and them, for the old wolf, it was just a burden.

About fifteen minutes later, Zhang Xiaoying and Huang Weizheng rushed back to the bus. After getting into the car, Huang Weizheng ran to the back seat of the back of the car without saying a word, and sat in the innermost and farthest position just like when they came here at the beginning. Once the people arrived, the armed buses began to return to Wanxiang City, and with a map of the Dead City Forest, they were as relaxed as if they were participating in a jungle tour; Of course, they can't forget the despair when they were besieged by zombies.

The bus shook rhythmically, except for a few mercenaries whispering with interest, except for the hum of the engine and the noise of the various parts of the car. The old wolf stood at the front door of the bus, and after explaining the matter to the driver, he was busy sitting on the horizontal seat in the front row of the car, wanting to take a nap, but then found Zhang Xiaoying standing in front of him.

"What's the matter?" The old wolf closed his eyes impatiently.

"You should give us a few more minutes, even if it's a few minutes." Zhang Xiaoying didn't shout loudly, but she could tell from her hurried speed of speech that she was dissatisfied with the old wolf.

"I gave you time to go to your friends, but you didn't take the chance, can I blame you? I can't let my brothers wait for you in the wilderness. The old wolf replied lazily, "Besides, if you go far, I don't think you'll be back on the bus for a while." It's almost night, do you think it's safe for both of you to be outside? ”

"That's why we have to find Chen Mo and them."

"Miss, we are working for Wanxiang City, you want me to care about the safety of the people in Qingshan, so I can take a look at the situation, and their people hate us so much now, why should I do this."

"Just because you brought the vaccine that was a complete failure to Qingshan, and because you destroyed their entire safety zone."

"Heh, don't say that it's not your business, you have a part in this. And we are all just delivering, whether there is a problem with the goods, to be honest, it really doesn't matter what we do. ”

"I don't think so." Zhang Xiaoying stared at the old wolf and said seriously, "I don't think you are as innocent as you say." ”

After being stared at by Zhang Xiaoying's sharp gaze for a few seconds, the old wolf, who had pretended to be indifferent, gradually felt uncomfortable, he twitched the facial muscles of his left cheek, turned his head impatiently, avoided Zhang Xiaoying's gaze, and closed his eyes as if he was sleeping, ignoring foreign affairs.

The heavily laden buses made louder noises on the bumpy road, with the sound of crates of gear and loot moving back and forth in addition to the rumbling of engines and the grinding of metal. Most mercenaries were accustomed to this, but Zhang Xiaoying heard something unusual from the noisy voice at this time.

"Hear that?" Zhang Xiaoying looked around the window and asked the old wolf, "There are gunshots." ”

"You're thinking too much." The old wolf didn't open his eyes, and said lazily like a dream, "Even if there is a gunshot, it's none of our business, and it won't be long before we can enjoy it in Wanxiang City." ”

Obviously, Zhang Xiaoying couldn't say that the old wolf was moving, and as the bus moved, they were also a little bit away from the depths of the dead city forest. Staring out the window at the dewreckage of the plane that was fading away, and then at Huang Weizheng, who was motionless like a statue in the back row, Zhang Xiaoying could only sigh, watching the street scene on both sides change from dense jungle to deserted buildings, and finally drive into the empty street that can still barely reflect human civilization but is also declining little by little.

A wisp of white smoke on the gray muzzle gradually dissipated, and the Qingshan soldier who had just found Chen Mo and Wu Fei fell to his knees with his bulleted chest, and a young man in a shabby blue-black hoodie walked proudly to the Qingshan soldier who was obviously a regular soldier in military uniform, stepped on his crumbling shoulder, looked around his companion as if showing off, and raised his hands like a victorious gladiator in the rough roar of a group of savage young men to signal to his companion.

"Look, it's this kind of goods that makes our lives so miserable now." The young man kicked the dying soldier, spat at him, picked up the soldier's rifle and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to have a good life, with such a good gun, and you still take two beautiful chicks to the forest to run around in the forest." Do you know, here we are the boss! ”

The soldier sneered and swept his hand to the ground with ease. "I don't know the sky and the earth is thick......"

The young man who fell to the ground jumped up in a panic, his face flushed with anger, he glanced at his surprised companion with shame, his whole body trembled, he shook a few steps on the spot, raised his gun with wide eyes, and smashed the butt of his gun into the soldier's head.

"You! Give me! Damn it! Close! Mouth! The young man scolded, and the soldier's head was already bloody and fleshy, and the brains splashed all over the young man's body; The young man seemed to be enjoying it very much, and there was no murderous evil on his face, but a perverted sense of enjoyment and pleasure.

Several other onlookers did not coax, the young man who killed the soldier threw his rifle aside, gasped and reveled in the joy of killing just now, and walked step by step towards Chen Mo and Wu Fei, who were tied up and gagged on the side; The two of them wept and struggled with excitement, but they couldn't get out of their restraints. The murderous young man walked up to the two girls and squatted down, and as soon as he loosened the bandage tied to Chen Mo's mouth, he heard Chen Mo's hysterical scolding, but the young man was not at a loss for this, and was not even surprised, he raised his hand on the side of his mouth unusually calmly to indicate Chen Mo to be quiet, as if he was trying to appease Chen Mo who was out of control.

"Shhh The young man wiped the tears on Chen Mo's cheeks with his blood-red hands as if he was comforting his girlfriend, and asked patiently, "Come on, tell me, are you here to find the plane that fell?" ”

"It's all my fault......" Chen Mo, who was occupied by fear, trembled all over, didn't hear the young man's question at all, but cried and repeated his apologies again and again in a panic, "It's all my fault......"

Not long ago, she ran into the jungle on impulse because she complained about what Huang Weizheng did, but she didn't expect that when she calmed down, she was already lost in this dense dead city forest, although it didn't take long for Wu Fei, who was chasing after her, to find her, but the two couldn't reunite with others at the same time. Just as the two were trying to figure out the direction, a group of young men wearing ragged coats and strange totems painted on their faces appeared.

This group of lost youths who have long forgotten the basic order of human society are also one of the few survivors in the forest of the dead city, but they do not plan to return to the human society in danger of the apocalypse with Chen Mo and them. These survivors are not so much struggling to survive in the forest as they are hunting. In the Deadcity Forest, they find their own brutal way of survival, evading mutants while hunting for other survivors, who are more like the walking dead than mutants.

Just as they caught Chen Mo and Wu Fei and tried to retaliate for a while, the Qingshan soldier who had left the old wolf and the others and turned back to look for them appeared. After killing three lost youths, the soldiers were outnumbered and captured alive, and in the end they paid with their own lives.

first heard the bad news of Du Yuheng and the fact that Huang Weizheng killed Du Yuheng, and then was insulted by a group of frenzied young people, and the last soldier who looked similar to himself lost his life. At this time, Chen Mo had almost collapsed, and her whole person had become in a trance after a period of crying, and her eyes stayed in place blankly.

The young man, who wanted to have some more fun, seemed to lose interest because of this, and he stood up boredly, beckoned to his men, and said, "It seems that this girl has gone crazy and is not interesting." Let's take it back first. ”

"Looks like there were two outsiders over there, too." Another young man in a red sports jacket said, "Why don't we go back together after finding the other group." ”

"Okay, it's almost dark, hurry up." After the murderous young man finished assigning the task, he approached Wu Fei again, and said with a flirtatious tone on Wu Fei's face and smiled, "That girl is not fun, it seems that you are the only one who can make us happy tonight." ”

"Believe it or not, I slaughtered you!" Wu Fei struggled forward and almost bumped the young man, but this made the man even more excited.

"Interesting." The young man patted Wu Fei's cheek pervertedly, then turned around and called his companions forward.

Escorted by six terrifying young men from the dead city who behaved strangely, Chen Mo and Wu Fei came to a clearing that looked like it should have been the main road in the past. The buildings on both sides have largely lost their original appearance, and the dark green foliage covers the buildings like a heavy military tarpaulin, and some of the old houses have been crushed by the branches. You can still faintly see the black windows of those houses, and if you walk too long in the empty streets that seem to have been forgotten, the undetermined will will be crushed by the fear that comes with the dead silence. Anyone who carelessly pays attention to the windows of dilapidated houses and dark alleys or cars smashed by shingles, and if they pay too long, people begin to wonder if there is something hiding there, secretly watching them; Those so-called "things" are not mutants or some other mutated creatures, and there are things that are more terrifying than these visible threats.

Some of the shops on the street are covered with vines that make it impossible to see inside, while others hang moss-wrapped signs, and broken shop windows are littered with items that have been swept and discarded. Occasionally passing by the scene of a car accident, you can barely see the appearance of three cars colliding, and the moss and vine branches in the dead city forest spread much faster than the city decayed, and the accompanying death and fear were naturally fast. Chen Mo: The location where they were at this time could be said to be a place that people outside the forest could not imagine at all, and even the old wolf and his mercenaries had not come or thought of it. In addition to the original wide road, there are half-man-high weeds growing everywhere, and some twisted vines are bent near the entrance of the building or the collapse of the first floor of some houses, like a dark cave inviting passers-by to enter. Of course, no one dared to enter, not even the murderous youths who thought of themselves as survivors of the forest.

The sunlight is also timid, it can barely penetrate the humid air and the huge branches and leaves of dense plants, in the blurry light, you can vaguely see some leafy corners of the air floating green particles, in those places there are clusters of dark green and cherry red mushrooms, if you stare for a few seconds, you can find that these mushroom clusters are squirming slightly, listen quietly and you can also hear the greasy creeping sound, and then look closely, It will be found that these strange mushrooms and moss plants seem to be pressing down on some human limbs, or these mushrooms have grown from the corpses of human beings that are already parasitic with maggots; Some of them can be seen to be intact in human form, but it is impossible or necessary to dig them up.

Although it was not the first time that they had walked on the streets of this kind of dead city forest, these lost youths who could kill people without blinking would also feel uneasy because of the oppressive feeling hidden in the air, and after walking for about thirty minutes, they were already sweating profusely, and the beads of sweat on their foreheads the size of mung beans were not caused by exercise or the heat of their bodies. Everyone, including Chen Mo and Wu Fei, widened their eyes and watched the subtle sounds wherever they went, and as they went deeper into the interior of the forest, they began to become suspicious unconsciously, cowering into a small group and cautiously walking on the road that seemed slightly safer.

The murderous young man at the head of the group jumped onto the roof of a gray scrapped car, pointed to a waterhole in front of him, and shouted to his companions: "Here we are!" Hurry up! ”

When the other youths heard this, they quickened their paces and rushed towards the waterhole with all their might, like the final sprint of a marathon. It stands to reason that these young people who have become accustomed to the primitive apocalyptic life of the Dead City Forest have become a little panicked at this time, they are as crazy as if they have lived in the darkness for a long time and longed for light, if they hadn't tied Chen Mo and Wu Fei with ropes, it is estimated that they would be willing to abandon the two of them and rush to the waterhole.

The so-called waterhole is a small pool formed in a low-lying pit by water from a fire hydrant that has been hit by a car. There is also a small stream formed between the fire hydrant and the pool, and around the pool are several emerald green plants, of course, more jagged weeds. The lost youths rushed up to scoop up and drink before they came to the pool, and the two young people who pulled Chen Mo and Wu Fei also pulled Chen Mo and them to drink water from the side.

Although it was true that I felt a little thirsty in my throat, it was strange to rush to drink as if a few young people were wandering through the desert and discovering a water source. In the eyes of Chen Mo and Wu Fei, these lost youths who are eager to plunge into the water and suck the pool dry are as crazy as taking drugs.

"Water is the source of life, and it is and still is." A hoarse man's voice came from behind Chen Mo, causing her head to shrink in fright.

Chen Mo looked back and saw a middle-aged man with a beard in a shabby green jacket looking at her with a smile that did not make people feel friendly but a kind of daunting authority. Behind the middle-aged men, there are five sturdy adult men, compared with the group of young people who are drinking water, these adults are obviously more sophisticated, which makes Chen Mo and Wu Fei feel tricky. The men looked like organized gangsters, and the youths were like street thugs. The weapons in their hands should also be more lethal, in addition to machetes and earthen guns, Chen Mo also saw a few military firearms, at least a rifle similar to the Type 95 used by Du Yuheng but with a shorter body, although he couldn't name it, but Chen Mo knew that he could usually hold this kind of military firearm, at least it could show that this group of people was not easy to deal with.
