Chapter 269: The Broken Arm
In this apocalypse, if zombies are the culprits that caused the collapse of this world, and human beings have reason to be afraid and beware of zombies, then the survivors who survive in this world are also the existence that others have to beware of.
Lu Tianxing once said to Li Jian that sometimes, people's hearts are more terrible than zombies, and then he verified this statement with his own behavior, and set up a big picture on the wall of life, burying thousands of lives. This is also the direct cause of Li Jian's mood transformation later.
After accepting the so-called experts in various fields before the end of the world, Li Jian also understood why Wang Hanfei, the uncle in overalls, was so wary of Li Jian at the beginning, and would rather be trapped in that building and starve to death than follow Li Jian to the base of Huxin Island.
According to the overalls uncle, when the zombies did not enter the lobby and besieged them in this building, they used to go out to look for supplies through the lengthy corridor where Li Jian and them had come in before. At that time, the building became the only safe place they could sleep at night. Then, one time, when the overalls uncle and several others were looking for supplies outside, they ran into another group of survivors. The number of survivors is small, and it seems a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a group, there are only five of them, and most of them are children about the same age as Li Jian in their twenties.
At that time, this group of survivors was almost to the point of running out of oil, and the overalls uncle couldn't bear it for a while, so he took them back and then accepted them. At that time, there were a lot of materials and food piled up in the building, which were all desperately found by the overalls uncle, and at that time they thought, it was just five more people, and they were still within the scope of bearing. And he also felt that with five more young and strong young men, it would be easier to find supplies in the future.
But, that's how it happened. In the first few days, these survivors from outside looked really grateful to them, and they almost regarded them as if they were gods, and all kinds of flattery and gratitude continued, fascinating everyone in the overalls. Moreover, when it comes to finding supplies, they are really doing their best. Soon won the trust of Wang Hanfei, the uncle of overalls. It's a pity that one night, these people conspired to steal most of the stored food in the building, and then escaped by night, and in order to avoid Wang Hanfei from catching up, they also opened the locked door of the lobby on the first floor below before leaving, and brought in the zombies to stop their steps.
A few of them, this was the purpose from the beginning. They came for the grain from the beginning, because what they did suddenly caused Wang Hanfei and them to fall into a place of no return. Without food, you can't clear the zombies and go out to find food. They remained trapped in the building until Li Jian arrived, taking them to the island in the middle of the lake.
That's why Wang Hanfei resisted Li Jian's arrival so much. He even attacked Li Jian first without saying a word, because he, like Li Jian, no longer trusted anyone. Moreover, the few foreign survivors who stole the materials at the beginning, he himself could not escape the responsibility, he resented that he had brought everyone to such a situation, but on the other hand, he used 200% vigilance to watch out for people outside, Wang Hanfei, the uncle in overalls, is now such a person.
But fortunately, now that he has met Li Jian and his party, his personality and attitude have improved, that is, because Li Jian kept his promise and gave them shelter, he will change his attitude in this way.
Now, when Li Jian saw the emptied supermarket, he said with a solemn expression that there was likely to be another group of survivors in the vicinity, and Wang Hanfei immediately became nervous.
"Boss, you said there are other survivor groups around here?"
Qin Hu, a muscular man who is honest and can even say that he has almost no scheming, asked. Although he said this, what he actually thought in his heart was which bastard emptied the supermarket and let him come here for nothing.
"If I'm not mistaken, I think it's that I can empty so much food in a short period of time, and according to the normal situation, I am afraid that there are quite a few of them."
Li Jian's expression was quite solemn.
Unlike Lin Ying who guided him to the research institute to find Wang Hanfei and them before, now Li Jian is facing a group of survivors who don't know the details, and it is unknown what kind of situation will evolve once the two sides come into contact, and Li Jian can't talk about it to death.
"How's that? Are we going back empty-handed today? ”
"In that case, let's find out if there is a generator. If you do, you should know where you can find it. ”
Li Jian asked suddenly.
Uncle Wang Hanfei thought for a moment, and then muttered to himself.
"Generally speaking, for our current situation, it is better to use diesel generators, and if we want to supply the power system of the island in the middle of the lake in the future, it is best for us to find a more powerful one. There should be some small factories in the vicinity of the factory building may have. ”
"Plant ......"
Li Jian suddenly remembered the factory he passed by on the way to the military base in G City with Lin Ying and Wang Xinyao, and at that time, except for some experimental equipment, Li Jian had indeed seen traces of generators. But now that they are in HB Province, it is impossible to go back to such a far place to find it, and the generator is not very common, and it is not very rare to say that it is rare, if you look for it in this area, maybe you can still gain something.
"Then let's follow the main road and clean up the mutated plants attached to the street signs, maybe we can find something. Remember, don't get too close to the mutant plants you don't know, this is not an island in the middle of the lake, and don't know how to die when the time comes. ”
Li Jian said, and took a few people to find it.
Although it doesn't sound very difficult to find a small factory, the problem is that Li Jian and they are not familiar with life now, and they did not live here before the end of the world, so it will take a lot of effort to find it, but what is surprising is that not long after, Wang Hanfei, the uncle of overalls, let out an exclamation, as if he had found something.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Wang Hanfei's exclamation, Li Jian couldn't help asking.
Wang Hanfei screamed but didn't speak, Li Jian walked over and took a look, and found out why Wang Hanfei screamed.
In front of him, at this moment, lay an arm full of blood, and it seemed that the owner of this arm should be a man, because it was covered with thick hand hair, and the palm was rough and huge, and it was immediately recognizable that it should belong to a man.
But the point is not here, I saw Li Jian squatting down and taking a look, this arm was broken from the root, about the position of the shoulder. The incision was flat, it should have been cut neatly by a sharp weapon, and Li Jian turned over his arm and saw that there was an obvious bite on the wrist, where a large piece of flesh was missing, which looked quite terrifying.
"It's a zombie bite...... Right? ”
Wang Hanfei said with a solemn expression.
"It's more than that......"
Ignoring this disgusting scene, Li Jian reached out and touched the blood gushing out of his broken arm, and his hand was cold and cold, without the warmth unique to human blood. Moreover, the blood should be easy to dry up and harden when exposed to the air, and now the blood is still in a liquid form, which can't help but remind Li Jian of something.
"The blood hasn't dried up yet...... This arm should have just been broken. ”
Li Jian's mind suddenly popped up with such a scene, one, or a group of survivors, being chased by zombies. One of them, not very caught by the zombies, bit off a large piece of flesh on his wrist. In order not to be dragged to death by the zombies because of this, he, or another survivor, reluctantly severed this arm, and was able to escape.
Or, he didn't escape at all.
"Boss, there's still blood in the past......"
Following Qin Hu's gaze, sure enough, in the direction where the bloody arm extended all the way, you could also see drops of blood, because it was almost impossible to stop the bleeding at once in such a thing as cutting off the arm, so in the process of escaping, it was normal to leave blood stains.
"How's it going, boss, do you want to catch up?"
Li Jian pondered for a while, as if he was thinking. In the case of him who had just left the wall of life, he might not hesitate to say no. He won't wade into these troubled waters as casually as before, and whether the man with the severed arm is dead or not has nothing to do with him. Originally, Li Jian didn't think much of it this time, but when he thought of the supermarket being emptied by the survivors who came out of nowhere, he suddenly had the idea of wanting to follow and take a look.
Perhaps, the man whose arm was cut off will be one of the survivors of the empty supermarket.
"Let's go along and have a look."
Li Jian sighed, and then stood up leisurely. No one else had any objection to his decision, or even if they did, they did not dare to speak out against it. Because Li Jian is the boss, unless it is really some matter of life and death, which is related to survival, they may be able to stop Li Jian. But now, this kind of thing is obviously not among them, and besides, they also want to see what happens to this survivor with his severed arm. The arm acts like a clue to a puzzle that successfully piqus their curiosity.
Following the bloodstains, Li Jian and his party moved all the way. Obviously, the direction of the blood stains has been detoured many times, just like it is a straight street, but it is willing to go around the side roads on both sides.
An hour and a half later, the bloodstains disappeared, and Li Jian and the others came to an extremely remote place.
The remoteness of this place is that if Li Jian and the others want to return to the base area of Huxin Island, they must follow the bloodstains and turn back, otherwise, they will not be able to get around at all.
In front of them was a small factory building and a group of zombies of about a hundred. (To be continued......)
