Chapter 513: The Valley
"Are you looking for Leng Yuhan? What use can she come in? Can she take part in the hunt? At best, you'll have to watch from the sidelines, and you'll have to take care of her safety. Zhou Jitang was extremely puzzled.
"I know. However, this little girl is fine, her heart is high, and she can take care of herself. Zheng Jieming said.
"Do you want to exercise her?" Geng asked.
"Hmm. That's right. Zheng Jieming nodded.
In fact, Zheng Jieming took Leng Yuhan with him, mainly to deliberately bring a person who obviously lacked the ability to hunt in clusters to see how Sun Cheng distributed the final supplies. And Leng Yuhan looks very small and not tall on the outside, so he doesn't look like an effective combat force no matter how he looks at it. But in fact, from a safety point of view, although she is not very old, she is very capable of self-protection and will not take up too much of everyone's energy.
"Will you come with us?" Zheng Jieming asked Leng Yuhan directly.
"Of course!!"
Leng Yuhan herself is quite willing to participate, in fact, in the face of zombies, she can also help in front from time to time. It's just that most of the time, Zheng Jieming will assign her a safer job.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The next day, a few selected people set out early in the morning and sailed to the opposite shore.
The sky was still so dark and dreary, and the shape of the clouds changed every day, but it always looked like countless claws were sticking out of the sky.
"Do we all have to live in this environment in the future?" Leng Yuhan asked Zheng Jieming.
"Probably. Still, I believe that one day I will be able to see a normal sky. Zheng Jieming replied.
Sun Cheng had already sent people to the riverbank to greet Zheng Jieming, plus Geng Zhi, Xue Ting, Hua Feng, Ghost Man and Leng Yuhan, a total of six people arrived at the hall of the industrial and commercial office, Sun Cheng's personnel who were ready to go out hunting had already stood in a neat line.
There were about thirty of them.
"There are quite a few people they sent." Hua Bong thought.
Sun Cheng glanced at Zheng Jieming's team, and among the six people, only one little girl obviously lacked combat effectiveness, but he obviously didn't mind.
"We've already mobilized once, and we saw the woods in the south before, and it's quite large, and it's always connected to the mountain. It's been more than half a year since the zombie outbreak broke out, and I sent someone to investigate it yesterday, and there are indeed wild animals in the woods, and someone saw it a few days ago, this time out, it should be a harvest!! Sun Cheng said to Zheng Jieming with confidence, and then he turned around and asked his subordinates to hand over a set of bows and arrows to Zheng Jieming and the other six people.
"Take this!! Let's use bows and arrows to shoot, not guns, so as not to alarm the animals, if the animals move en masse and don't move around in the woods, we won't have a chance!! ”
Zheng Jieming observed Sun Cheng's command, his team had a clear division of labor, more than 30 people, in addition to more than 20 people who were responsible for concentrating on hunting, there were about seven people left, armed with rifles, and it seemed that they were mainly responsible for guarding. In addition, there are several people wearing yellow hard hats, and it is not known what the purpose is.
The group then set off by car, and twenty minutes later, they arrived near the mountain range on the outskirts.
Sun Cheng did not personally command, but was assigned by a man with a brown hat to hunt the people. Sun Cheng only personally brought seven armed men.
"You hunt with them, and we defend." Sun Cheng said to Zheng Jieming.
Including Zheng Jieming and the six people, nearly 30 people who were specifically responsible for hunting entered the mountains from the trail and went deep into the mountains.
"What kind of hunting can you hit with such a large-scale action? Before approaching the animal, he scared the animal away and alarmed it. Xue Ting was puzzled.
Geng Zhi and Hua Feng knew that if they went deep into the mountains, they would likely encounter large meadows, and that kind of place was the best place for hunting.
However, they had not gone far before the man in the brown hat stopped them all.
"Wait a minute!!"
The man walked to the front of the queue and carefully examined the forks in the road.
Then he came back, and without explanation, he directly divided the people into several groups.
"What is he going to do?" Xue Ting asked.
"Who knows? What about Sun Cheng? Zheng Jieming asked rhetorically.
"It's still to come. There are also two with guns in the front. Geng replied straightly.
Leng Yuhan was very excited, she kept trying to build a bow, this kind of bow and arrow is very similar to the bow and arrow made by everyone in the early days, but this one is obviously more professional!
After a while, the man in the brown hat led one group away, and it was a few minutes before he ran back and took the second group in a different direction.
"Does this man seem to be in good shape?" Hua Bong thought.
After a while, the man also walked towards Zheng Jieming and the others.
"You are the neighbors who live on the north shore as Mr. Sun said, right?" The man nodded at Zheng Jieming.
"Yes. Come and replenish the manpower and learn from you. Zheng Jieming replied.
"You know how to shoot arrows, right? Do you need me to teach you? The brown-hat man asked.
Hua Feng compared the movements and postures of archery, and the man in the brown hat looked at it and praised it, "Yo? Yes, that's it, you're okay, but a little bit like the bow archery style? Looks like I don't have to teach you. Actually, it doesn't matter when the time comes, just shoot the arrow in the general direction. ”
"He's trying to say I'm too form-oriented, right?" Hua Bong thought to himself, "He can see my archery posture, and he has also learned." ”
The man took the lead and led Zheng Jieming and the others towards a bush.
There is obviously no road here.
"Where are you taking us now?" Zheng Jieming asked.
"Shhhh The man whispered in front of him.
The forest was quiet, except for the birds passing by from time to time, and all that remained was the sound of everyone's breathing and footsteps.
The man led everyone to a hillside and pointed to the bushes beside them.
"This is it, it's good!"
Zheng Jieming and the others stood still, looked back, and saw the other party's intention to bring themselves here.
This is a valley, and when I came in before, I only walked through a small pass into this valley.
The width of the valley, less than the width of a football field, is crossed by an extremely small stream.
The trees are not very tall, and the valley is mostly shrubs.
And the location of Zheng Jieming and the others at this time is on the mountain on the side of the valley.
The hill rises right upwards and forms a good firing point!
"You can do it, this is a good position, if there are animals passing by below, you can shoot without being detected by the animals." Hua Bong said.
"That's right, and you see, the sky on the other side may not be good, and it won't be clear that there are also our people on the mountain. When the time comes, as soon as you see an animal passing by, you can concentrate on archery! Shoot three arrows per person without pause, remember!! Shoot three without stopping!! After three arrows, don't shoot any more if you hit it or not!! We will arrange for other people to come forward, if there is prey that is shot, it will have to be carried away immediately, if it is not carried away in time, it may alarm the subsequent animals!! So if you keep shooting at this time, you may injure someone by mistake! The man in the brown hat emphasized.
"How can you be sure that there will be animals passing through this place?" Zheng Jieming was puzzled.
The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth with bleeding gums.
"Because there is a beast path! And I've been here for the past two days, and there are indeed animals! "As long as there were no human beings, animals would soon be in every forest, and eventually in every clearing!" ”
The man looked at the six people in ambush, and squeezed his eyes at Leng Yuhan, "Okay, happy hunting, wait patiently, if you are unlucky and no prey passes by today, I will come up to inform you when you want to leave!" I'm going to get ready with the harvest team! Remember!! Don't shoot an arrow when you're around!! ”
The six watched as the brown-hatted man left, and each found a clean stone to sit on.
"Okay, they do have capable people here." Xue Ting said.
Ants crawled around on the ground, some down everyone's trouser legs, up to their knees; Some even go straight into the trouser legs.
Zheng Jieming flicked his hand and bounced an ant away.
"You should wear pants with a cuff." Geng Zhi said.
Hua Feng found a long grass with a relatively strong texture and tied a knot in his trouser leg.
The sky was still dark, making the valley look a little scary.
"If you live in the valley, if the weather is good, it's okay, but now this situation is simply gloomy." Hua Bong said.
The ghost man sat on the side, his eyes just staring into the valley and not speaking.
He felt that this kind of gloomy place was quite suitable for him. I don't know when he has begun, he has begun to accept the nickname of ghost man, and now everyone calls him Brother Qiang, but he is not adaptable.
Leng Yuhan's hand has been holding a bow and arrow, and she has always been eager to try.
"Can any animals come? How do I think it's going to be an army of zombies?" Geng Zhi whispered.
A crow landed on a tree next to the crowd, called three times, and then flew away with a hula.
Xue Ting looked up as the crow flew away, and then disappeared into the dark sky.
"A bad omen?" He said
After a long time, the sun finally rose a little, exceeding the height of the mountains on either side, and the light began to ignite a little black cloud around the sun, so that the sky finally had a little light. But this little light is not enough to illuminate the entire sky, as if there is a yellow light bulb with a small wattage in an extremely dark room, which cannot expel the darkness of the entire room.
Hwabong gestured with his bow and arrow in the direction of the sun.
"Shhhh There is movement!! The ghost man suddenly whispered to everyone.
