The middle-aged man, Nguyen Minh Chao, is a refugee from the town of Estuary, and the woman wearing the hat is his wife, and the couple has fled from the capital, Hanoi, but, like all other refugees, they have to work in exchange for a place to live. Generally speaking, refugees like them who have fled from other places are assigned dangerous jobs, so their job is to dig rice fields outside the walls of the town of Hekou.

The couple had a pair of children, the elder sister Ruan Li is now staying in their shelter, and the younger brother Ruan Jichen who was captured by the zombies.

Yesterday evening, Nguyen Minh Zhao's family of four and other refugees who worked with them were about to call a day, only to find that the rice fields they were in charge of had been surrounded by zombies at some point, and they were still mutated zombies that were much more terrifying than ordinary zombies. The rice paddies were still a few kilometers away from Hekou Town, where more than 100 refugees worked, but the garrison of Hekou sent only five people to protect them, and the five Vietnamese soldiers fled in their cars as soon as they found the corpses.

Ruan Minh Zhao was able to survive because he knew that it was impossible for them to escape without weapons, so he decisively pulled himself and his family into the puddle of the rice field, and used the water in the rice field to cover up the smell of the living people on his body, and those zombies only cared about chasing those who ran around, which saved their family's lives.

It's a pity that his youngest son Ruan Jichen is only 12 years old, and his lung capacity is far less than that of an adult. And the great luck in the misfortune is that it was the 'ostrich zombie' that attacked them this time.

The so-called 'ostrich zombie' is actually not an official name, and this zombie does not look like an ostrich at all, just because this kind of zombie will stick his incomparably large, hammer-like head in the soil to avoid the sun during the day, so it is vividly called 'ostrich zombie'.

Ostrich zombies, like the famous hunters, live in groups, hundreds or thousands of them gather together, they have a fixed hiding place during the day, they will hide there en masse, stick their heads in the ground, and at night they will go out in groups to feed, humans, animals and ordinary zombies are the objects they hunt. If they can't find their prey, they will even attack other types of mutated zombies. Their heads are like thick bones on both sides of the ears from the ears, the diameter of the left and right sides can reach more than one meter at most, and the hypertrophic bone density is extremely high, making their whole head very heavy, so the blow force of their shaking heads is also amazing, a 'hammer' down to smash a car is not a problem, if it is smashed on a human body, I am afraid it will be smashed directly.

In addition, ostrich zombies have a peculiar habit, that is, they will not eat the prey they catch immediately, but will bring it back to their nest and imprison it, and eat it when they are hungry, so Ruan Minh Zhao's son was captured yesterday evening, if those ostrich zombies were not very hungry last night, then his son still has a glimmer of hope for survival.

Therefore, Ruan Mingzhao will inquire around about the legendary zombie hunter, that is, Xiao Chu's residence, hoping to get the help of the zombie hunter, with the ability of the zombie hunter, he will definitely be able to rescue his son, because he once saw Xiao Chu kill a group of blood-red hunters near the rice field where they worked, like mowing grass. Hunters are one of the most ferocious of the mutated zombies, and when he was still in Hanoi, he had seen just five hunters slaughter a well-armed army.

After listening to Ruan Mingzhao's story, Xiao Chu did not answer immediately, but was silent as if thinking about something else.

"Please...... Please help me! Save my son! I will definitely repay you! Ruan Mingzhao saw that Xiao Chu had been silent and did not speak, thinking that he didn't want to help, and his heart was extremely anxious. In fact, even if Xiao Chu rejected him, he would not be surprised, after all, to save people from the mutant zombies, even the garrison of Hekou Town may not be able to do it, not to mention that now I don't know if his son is still alive and whether it is worth saving.

"Don't worry, let me think about it, I did see ostrich zombies around here, but I didn't know where their nest was, the woods were big here, and I was just familiar with both sides of the river." Xiao Chu said helplessly, in fact, it was not that he didn't want to help Ruan Mingzhao, but this forest was really too big, and he really didn't know where the nest of the ostrich zombie was.

"Their lair, probably in the mountains northwest of Bayou Town!" Ruan Mingzhao saw that Xiao Chu did not refuse him, and immediately seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly provided everything he knew: "In the mountains in the northwest, there have always been several groups of mutant zombies, and besides, I also saw those ostrich zombies yesterday go to the northwest after catching people. ”

"The mountains of the northwest?" Xiao Chu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, the mountains northwest of Hekou Town were at least 50 kilometers away from his temporary shelter, and this section of the road was very difficult to walk, almost all of them were dense forests, with Xiao Chu's foot strength alone, even if his physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary humans now, it would take at least ten hours or more to get to the place. The most important thing is that the mountain area is very large, and it would be very time-consuming to find it without a specific location.

Ruan Mingzhao also knew that trying to find his son in that mountainous area was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, even if Xiao Chu set off immediately, he would probably be almost tomorrow morning when he got there, and he really didn't know if his son would still be alive by then.

"Also...... Please give it a try, whether you can save my son or not, I will repay you! Ruan Mingzhao saw that although Xiao Chu did not agree, he did not explicitly refuse, and felt that there was still some hope, so he begged again.

Xiao Chu thought about it, looked at the oatmeal, but saw the oatmeal nodding at him with a triumphant look, and then turned back to Ruan Mingzhao and said, "Okay, I'll try it, you can stay with me tonight, it's going to be dark now, and it's very dangerous outside." ”

Ruan Mingzhao was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and even kept kowtowing to Xiao Chu, even Xiao Chu didn't reach out to pull him up, but he didn't stay, saying that he was worried about their daughter, although their daughter is now protected by those refugee companions, but in fact, he doesn't trust his companions very much, his daughter is in the prime of youth, it is difficult to ensure that some of those refugees covet her beauty, and there is no way to hand her over to those refugees for protection, they can't take their daughter to find Xiao Chu in this dangerous forest.

So before the sun had completely set, Ruan Mingzhao and his wife left in a hurry, leaving Xiao Chu an address, which was their hiding place in Hekou Town, and they knew that although Xiao Chu lived outside the city, he would occasionally go to the town to find some daily necessities.

Watching the backs of Ruan Mingzhao and his wife disappear into the dense forest, Xiao Chu sighed, turned around and continued to pack up his fish with cereal.
