The two boats were taken back to the river bank near the watchtower, and since the pier was finally located next to the upstream parking lot, they had to strengthen the perimeter of the parking lot with another defensive measure———— using sandbags to fill it with sand, and put it together with the cars to build a simple fence.

"The three of them went out on patrol, did they come back?" After Zheng Jieming returned to the watchtower, the first thing he did was to ask Xue Ting, Hua Feng, and Wang Xinrui.

"Not yet." Geng replied straightly.

"So they've been out all morning? It stands to reason that if you go around the city in a circle, you should come back around, right? Zheng Jieming thought to himself, climbed the watchtower, and prepared to look into the distance to see the situation.

On the top of the watchtower, Xie Wuzi and Lu Xiaoyu were looking around, but they didn't find anything abnormal.

"Huh? That's great! Our snipers are finally able to fight with guns again? Zheng Jieming thought in his heart, but he didn't speak, nodded to Xie Wuzi from afar, and then walked up to him and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Xie Wuzi looked back at him and nodded in response.

Lu Xiaoyu watched in silence as Zheng Jieming walked to the side of himself and Xie Wuzi, and then took his gaze back.

"How? Do you see anything unusual? Zheng Jieming asked Xie Wuzi.

"There is no problem, the situation I observed this morning, except for the direction of the central square of the city, which seems to have more zombie activity, there seems to be no problem in other areas." Xie Wuzi replied, "In addition, are we also an urban area on the other side of the Red River?" It looks pretty calm over there. ”

"We've got a car out on patrol, you haven't seen them yet, have you?" Zheng Jieming asked again.

"No, I didn't notice the shadow of the car from the binoculars. I knew when they went out, and they certainly haven't come back now. Xie Wuzi said.

Geng Zhi climbed up from downstairs at this time, and at the same time, he also brought a bundle of long ropes.

"Let's tie this rope here, tie a bell at the end, once the person on the roof finds out about the situation, you can pull the rope, and the bell below will ring, which plays an early warning role."

"That's good, you can also hang a bell in this section, let the pull below, we can go down. Can we even invent a bell language that expresses some basic signals? Xie Wuzi heard Geng Zhi's suggestion and thought it was very good———— so that he could hide on the roof alone.

After the bell is installed, it is beneficial to protect the safety of the personnel on duty on the top floor, as well as to give full play to the role of the watchtower.

They agreed that if there was a chaotic or continuous ringing, the people below would think that the people above were in danger, and that the people who would immediately hear the sound would go upstairs to help.

On the other hand, every other time, the continuous ringing of the bell is a warning ———— there is a large-scale zombie or dangerous person attacking, immediately lower the center of gravity, hold the weapon and prepare for battle!!

Geng Zhi immediately notified the others of such a signal, and at the same time, everyone rehearsed twice, and such a signal was officially put into use.

Coincidentally, here's where it happens.

Just as Zheng Jieming and Geng Zhi had just left the roof, Lu Xiaoyu noticed that in the distance, in the opposite direction of the city, a car seemed to be speeding towards this side!

"Look over there!? Got a car coming?! Lu Xiaoyu tugged on Xie Wuzi's cuffs and shouted nervously.

"Oh? Isn't that just right? It's just time to ring the bell, but this should be the morning person, right? Xie Wuzi said, "If it's them, there's no need to make a fuss. ”

The car was originally coming from outside the city and was rushing towards the city, but apparently saw the vehicles piled up in the north, realized that there might be survivors here, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the watchtower.

"Isn't that right?! So nervous? It doesn't seem like a car that went out on patrol in the morning?! Xie Wuzi realized that the situation was wrong, and pulled the bell violently, suddenly remembering the signal that had just been agreed, and changing it to a rhythmic continuous warning sound of pulling once at intervals.

But at this time, the vehicle had already rushed into the area of the National Park, braked, and stopped outside the watchtower.

When Zheng Jieming and others heard the bell, they immediately guarded the two entrances to the front and back of the watchtower with guns, while Geng Zhi rushed to the roof of the building according to the bell signal.

The unfamiliar vehicle lingered for a moment in the dust raised by the fast drive before cautiously opening the door.

In the car, a man in red clothes fell out of the car by holding on to the door, barely got up from the ground, and staggered towards the watchtower.

"Not one of ours?" Zheng Jieming lay on the edge of the building and whispered suspiciously.

The man's movements were apparently very unusual, and he held on to the wall all the way to the side of the steps, and after only two steps upwards, he rolled down the stairs again.

"It's the wounded, right? Let's go down and have a look! Beware of him, don't be a corpse! Zheng Jieming shouted and ran down with a few people.

The man in red was lying under the entrance of the watchtower, Zheng Jieming and others ran close with guns, only to find that this man was not wearing "red clothes", but his white suit was all stained with blood!

"Hey!? Buddy!? Wake up?? Did you say that?? Zheng Jieming gently patted the man's blood-stained face.

The man did not die, but tilted his head, opened his eyes slightly, and said, "Come on, come on"

"What's coming??" Hang Ming lowered his head anxiously and put his ear to the other party's mouth.

"Hide when you're coming"

Those were the man's last words.

After he said this, his eyes spread———— fortunately he did not change his body, but died very calmly in front of everyone.

“”

"What he just said is coming?? What exactly does that mean? Looks like he's hiding something?? Hang Ming frowned and said uneasily.

Zheng Jieming checked the man's breathing and heartbeat to confirm that he was indeed dead, and then began to search his body.

From the man's breast pocket, he pulled out a purse, and there was nothing else on the man.

There was only a picture of a woman in the wallet, three hundred dollars, a bunch of cards, and an ID card.

The ID card showed that the man was from a coastal city in Eastern Province.

"He himself is from Jade Bird City, and he may have come from Eastern Province," Zheng Jieming said, "Search his car?" ”

The situation of this car makes everyone even more suspicious———— the trunk is empty, but the driver's seat of the car is full of blood stains, and in addition to blood stains on the back seat of the car, there are some strange solid objects, I can't tell if it is a piece of meat or something else.

"Don't even touch this car, throw this person on the car, push the car to the shore, burn it!!" Zheng Jieming felt that there might be danger, and dragged Zhou Jitang, who was searching for the vehicle, out of the car.

When everyone burned the car, Zheng Jieming rushed to the watchtower first.

"In what direction is this car coming from?" Zheng Jieming asked Xie Wuzi.

"East. Actually, the direction we came from before, in the direction of the road along the river. Xie Wuzi replied.

Geng Zhi put down the binoculars, "How is the person below?" ”

"When I got here, I died, covered in blood, and I left a last word, saying, 'Hide when you come', do you see anything unusual in the distance?" Zheng Jieming took the binoculars and searched into the distance.

But on the horizon, it's unusually calm

And there are no strange signs.

"I don't see anything out of the ordinary, we're also on the edge of the city, there's a village to the east, I've seen everything else, and there's nothing of interest except for the blossoming trees." Geng replied straightly.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Patrol vehicles circled the perimeter of the city.

Xue Ting saw that it was still early and the amount of oil was still there, so he decided to continue to expand the search circle and go to the area south of the Red River to have a look.

"It's not necessary, is it? The Red River is so wide, zombies can't cross it!? Hua Bong said.

"It's true, when it froze some time ago, zombies were able to come, but now that the ice is slowly melting, there is really no problem." Xue Ting said, "But I'm not worried, there may be people on the other side of the strait who stay, and we have to understand the situation." ”

The south bank of the Red River is actually another city, and the two cities are similar in style, but obviously the economic development on the north bank will be better.

The cities on the south bank are full of low houses.

However, there is clearly something unusual about this small city.

"Why does the car feel slimy when driving??" Xue Ting first noticed that there were some problems with the vehicle's driving.

The wheels seemed to be pulled by something, and the car couldn't drive hard.

At this time, they observed that the color of the road surface did not seem to be quite right.

Originally, they thought it was an asphalt road, but when they looked closely, they realized that the ground seemed to be covered with some slimy things.

Xue Ting stepped on the brakes and stopped on the road.

"See? The ground is like glue? Xue Ting asked Hua Feng.

Wang Xinrui turned her head and looked at the rear of the car and the surrounding situation, some zombies were walking towards this side.

Hua Bong opened the door a little to make sure what was on the ground, but as soon as the door opened, a foul smell poured into the car.

Hua Feng almost threw up———— he wanted to bend down to look at something on the ground, but this time he straightened up and closed the door.

"I said you guys are going to drive?? There are zombies coming around," Wang Xinrui urged nervously.
