Chapter Forty-Eight: Trying to Reach
A slightly tired voice came from the open door. Led by a man in his forties, five people, three men and two women, came out of the house. It's just that they didn't get too close, except for the man in the lead, the rest of the people looked at Han Feng and the others with a frightened expression, especially when they looked at Lin Dong, they were even more full of fear.
Han Feng and the others were slightly surprised, they didn't expect that the speed-type zombie to be the father of this steel pipe man. No wonder he stops before the final blow. No wonder the guillotine man would stop them and not let them do it. It turned out that the reason for all this was because it was his father.
The reason for everything was already clear, and the people were silent, except for the steel pipe man, who kept wailing. This is a great grief. The pain of killing a loved one with your own hands will not be understood by outsiders. The others could only watch quietly, letting the wails that pierced the sky continue to pass through their ears.
After more than ten minutes, the steel pipe man's voice gradually deepened. The man in his forties who came out of the house sighed and took a few steps forward.
"I was originally the head of this village, and my name is Zhang Fang. You're all the same people as them, aren't you? The village chief pointed to them, naturally the steel pipe man and the guillotine man.
Han Feng nodded yes and didn't say anything. At this time, he didn't know what to say. After the village chief got the answer, he didn't ask much, but just squatted beside the steel pipe man and persuaded him.
It didn't take long for the pole man to stop wailing completely. A man picked up the zombie with the impaled head in it, walked to a nearby courtyard, dug a pit, and buried it.
When the steel pipe man finished everything and returned to Han Feng and the others, he looked at Han Feng and the others. He had the same red eyes as the guillotine man. Han Feng asked a few words, but at most he could only get a nod and shake his head in response. The two men didn't say a word.
"Don't ask any more questions, they still have some memories, but they can't speak anymore. If you have any questions, you should ask me. Village Chief Zhang Fang said.
After some exchanges, Han Feng learned a few things. The steel pipe man and the guillotine man are both from this village. Originally, the two were about to graduate from college, but this time because they went out for an internship, and they came back to see when they passed by home. I didn't expect to run into a virus outbreak. After the disaster, the two of them became unable to speak.
At first, both of them were in a daze, hiding with the surviving people. At first, because most of the people had turned into zombies, no one noticed the change in the color of the eyes of the two people. When I noticed it, I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was some kind of disease. When it was discovered that two people could not speak, or even had amnesia. The survivors of the village thought they were scared silly.
After a few days of hiding, fewer and fewer people survived. The zombies in the village surrounded them everywhere. At this time, the two men became brave and took the initiative to take up weapons to protect these people. After a long time, the two of them seem to remember some things. But there were zombies everywhere, and the surviving villagers didn't have time to think about anything.
At dawn today, a large number of zombies suddenly appeared in the village. The survivors could only keep running away, and eventually they were surrounded by zombies in the house on this vacant lot. If it weren't for the steel pipe man and the guillotine man, the village chief and the other four survivors would have become food for the zombies a long time ago.
It was precisely because the two people whose eyes turned red protected them that the village chief was not too scared when he saw Han Feng. Only Lin Dong's tall body made him feel a little terrifying.
"Do you have any plans?" Han Feng asked.
"Hey, I can't think of anything just yet. Listen to the radio and say, there is a gathering of survivors. You don't know where it will go. I just don't know if we people can get there. Zhang Fang said with a sigh.
Han Feng looked at Zhang Fang and the other survivors, especially the two steel pipe men, who stayed on them for a while. Then he looked at the people who had come with him and asked them what to do.
Seeing that Meng Hao and the others did not have any obvious changes in their expressions, Han Feng said, "It's better to join us for the time being." Now there are zombies everywhere. The nearest survivor gathering point is far away, and you can't get there safely. And if the two of them get there, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. We had a foothold at the quarry not far away, and we had some food and everything. I believe that it will be safe in a short time. ”
"Can I really be with you?" Zhang Fang said in disbelief.
After waiting for Han Feng's affirmative reply, Zhang Fang looked extremely happy. He told the story to a few other survivors. Although they were still a little afraid, they all obeyed Zhang Fang's choice.
In fact, Zhang Fang knew very well that with a few of them, it was impossible for them to go to any survivor gathering point safely. And the two men in the steel pipe, it is obviously impossible to follow them all the time. He had seen Meng Hao flying in the sky, as well as Lin Dong's body like a giant zombie. Plus these people all have guns. Zhang Fang felt that following them for the time being should be a correct choice. Moreover, they didn't have anything in the first place, and they weren't afraid that Han Feng and the others would plot anything against them.
All the food and salt in the village were collected, and the survivors brought some daily necessities and some personal belongings. In the reluctance to give up, he left their home.
Han Feng didn't continue to search for food next, he felt the need to send these people to the mountain first. Now the food stored in Lin Dong's space is almost full, enough for them to use for a long time. Han Feng felt that he should establish a base as soon as possible. Because he had a feeling that more people would come to him in the future. And Han Feng was still thinking, if there was a survivor who came here by himself, would he accept it or not? This is not a simple issue, not to mention food and safety, just talk about conscience, which is the worst.
The area on the top of the mountain is limited in the number of people it can accommodate. Now that I have realized that someone may come here in the future. Of course, you can't count on this little space at the top of the mountain. Han Feng then turned his attention to the quarry at the foot of the mountain, intending to build a base there.
New survivors joined in, Brother Hu and Gong Xiaofei, who volunteered to help these people build houses. Of course, it's just that Brother Hu and Gong Xiaofei said on the side, and others did it. As for the steel pipe man and the guillotine man, they can't manage it. At the same time, they don't dare to care.
It's easy to make a home in a quarry. After all, there are ready-made houses there. But the number of people is too small, and if you want to build a base that can defend against zombies, it is completely not enough to rely on a few people. Lin Dong, a big man, had to come to work as a coolie. With his help, it was still possible to build a small circle of defensive walls using the stones from the quarry.
Han Feng called the five red-eyed people together and observed them carefully. These people have clearly mutated in the virus. It's just that none of them have superpowers, but their strength and speed surpass ordinary people. What they all have in common is that their eyes are red. And Han Feng also guessed whether it was people with red eyes who had only become stronger physically, but had no superpowers.
In addition to observing the five red-eyed people, Han Feng was also thinking about another question. That's why he was able to feel a strange aura in them. This smell is not smelly. It was completely a feeling, a feeling that Han Feng couldn't explain. He felt the need to make sense of it. Because it was through this breath that he found Fang Chao and those two children. If he could really feel the breath of the other mutants, would he be able to bring them together? Or rescue those who are in danger?
Thinking back to the feeling he felt when he found out Fang Chao, Han Feng closed his eyes and slowly let himself enter a state of selflessness. He tried his best to feel everything around him. Slowly, in the darkness, he felt five faint human shadows. He knew that it was the figure of five red-eyed people. Han Feng's consciousness also searched for the darkness farther away, and not far away, he saw a few slightly brighter humanoid lights and shadows.
This is what Han Feng already knows, these shadows and shadows should be Wu Tian, Lin Dong and others. He couldn't tell who these people were. With curiosity, Han Feng tried to use the palm condensed by his consciousness to touch those figures.
As soon as he encountered the brightest humanoid light and shadow, Han Feng only felt a shock all over his body, and in an instant, his consciousness was shaken away, and he quickly returned to his body like a receding tide. And not far from Han Fang, Wu Tian, who was sitting there in a daze, turned around and looked in the direction where Han Feng was at the moment when Han Feng's consciousness was shaken away.
