27, the missing Sophia
Swinging the axe a few times, slightly adapting to the weight of the hand axe, Luffy Yang no longer dodged these zombies, facing the rushing zombies, Luffy Yang directly went over with an axe and cut off half of the zombie's head. Soon, these zombies chasing after Luffy fell under his hand axe.
After killing the zombies, Luffy returned to the side of the car and picked up the knives on the ground, and immediately returned to Daryl and them. Looking at the T-boy who closed his eyes, Luffy's footsteps slowed down and said to Daryl, "Daryl, how is he?" ”
Daryl looked back at Luffy and said, "It's not good, it seems to have hurt a vein." I think we need some cure. ”
Luffy and Darryl carry T-boy back to the RV, only to find that Rick hasn't returned. Letting T-boy lie in the car, Luffy said, "Dale, what should I do?" T-boy looks badly injured, is there anything I can do? ”
Widening his eyes and looking at the wound on T's hand, Dale said: "We are very short of medicine now, and I have no good way to deal with T's wound, so I can only bandage it first and stop the bleeding for T-boy." Andrea, go find a clean towel, and let's bandage T-boy's arm first. ”
After all, this RV belongs to Dell, and where to place the contents of the car, Andrea and Dale know best. When Andrea heard Dale's command, she quickly found a clean towel from a drawer. After handing the towel to Dell, Dale asked T to take away the hand that was pressed on the wound, and then Luffy Yang and the others saw the wound on T Boy's hand, only to see that on the inside of T Boy's forearm, a wound of more than ten centimeters stretched from T Boy's wrist to his elbow.
After bandaging T-boy's arm, Dale patted T-boy on the shoulder and said, "Okay, T-boy." You lie down here for a while, and when Rick brings Sophia back, I think we're going to get back on our way. Until then, you'll have to hold on, maybe we'll have to get you some medicine in the next town. ”
"Hmm!" T-boy lay on the bed weakly, and after answering Dale's call, he also fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that T was weakly asleep, Luffy and the others looked at each other, and then got out of the RV and came to the road, waiting for Rick and them to return on the highway. About half an hour old, Rick appeared in the woods covered in muddy water and grass clippings. Seeing that Rick didn't bring back his daughter, Carol's face changed, and he said to Rick who was walking slowly, "Rick, didn't you find Sophia?" ”
When Rick came out of the woods, he saw that Sophia was not in the crowd, Rick's heart jumped, and when Carol asked, Rick was also surprised: "Didn't Sophia come back?" I asked her to hide first, and when I took the 2 zombies away and killed them, I went back to where she was hiding, she was no longer there, and I thought she was back! ”
Hearing that Sophia is missing, Carol almost falls to the ground. Fortunately, Lori kept her by her feet, so she didn't fall to the ground. Following Rick to Sophia's hiding place, Darryl held a crossbow in one hand and pushed through the bushes on the water with the other, "Are you sure it's here?" ”
Rick came to Daryl's side and bent down and pointed to Sophia's hiding place, then turned and pointed to the small river: "I'll leave Sophia here, and then I'll follow the small river and lure the zombies away." It's just that when I came back, Sophia disappeared, and I thought she had gone back to you on her own. I told her to walk back the way we came, and when she couldn't tell the direction, look up at the sun in the sky, and when the sun was above her head, go forward. ”
Sean said: "Brother, she is tired and scared, she just escaped from the mouths of 2 zombies, can she really listen to you?" ”
Looking for people in the jungle, Luffy Yang has no experience, but his superb attributes have played a great role, when Sean questioned Rick, Luffy Yang had a keen eye to find Sophia's footprints by the river, Luffy immediately said: "There are clear footprints here, it seems that Sophia is listening to Rick's words, judging from the direction of the footprints, she is going back." ”
Daryl came over, looked at the footprints found by Luffy, patted Luffy on the shoulder and said, "Young man, good job!" We dispersed and went back the way we came, to see if we could find Sophia, who was not as fast as we were, and might be able to find her. ”
Following Daryl and Luffy, they had been walking in the woods, but when Luffy and they walked past a big tree, Daryl slowly stopped, knelt on one knee and said, "All the way here, Sophia is walking towards the highway." But you see, here she went over there. What happened? ”
As he spoke, Darryl pointed his finger in Sophia's changed direction.
Luffy Yang has been following behind Dalil, he also saw Sophia suddenly change direction, hearing this, Luffy Yang looked up and looked around, and then looked at the opposite direction where Sophia left and said: "I think Sophia should have encountered zombies again, and there seem to be traces of zombies walking over there!" You see, there. ”
Daryl and the others looked in the direction that Luffy Yang was pointing, and saw two rows of footprints in the shadow of another big tree, one of which was completely dragging and moving on the ground, and it was impossible for a living person to walk like this.
Daryl immediately said: "Let's go, let's chase over now and see where Sophia has gone." ”
"Wait!" Rick looked at Daryl and said that he wanted everyone to chase down, he felt that something was wrong, and after a while, he said to Sean and Glenn, "Sean, you and Glenn go back first." Tell them that we have found Sophia, now go find Sophia, and let them not worry. ”
Sean said, "Good! There should still be something to use in those abandoned cars, and I'll let them find something to do. ”
"Okay." Rick nodded, understood what Sean meant, and kept everyone on the highway busy, and when they had something on their hands, they wouldn't worry about Luffy and them.
"Let's go, Glenn!" They nodded at Luffy, and Sean said to Glenn. Then Sean said to Rick, "Rick, you have to be careful. ”
As the forest grew deeper and deeper, the surrounding trees grew denser, and Rick looked at the ground and said, "Did the footsteps disappear from here?" Why can't I see Sophia's footprints anymore? ”
"Nope."
"Nope!"
The two voices rang out at the same time, and Daryl glanced at Luffy Yang and said, "Do you need me to educate you about the knowledge of jungle tracking?" Now the most important thing for us is to go and find Sophia! ”
Luffy Yang was able to spot the little trace left by Sophia on the ground with his keen eye, and Daryl relied on his vast experience. After being reprimanded by Daryl, Luffy and the three of them continued to track the traces left by Sophia.
At this time, the tracking is becoming more and more difficult, the dead leaves on the ground are thickened, and the fiber in the woods is also becoming poor. More than half an hour later, Lu Feiyang and the others had not yet covered a distance of 1 kilometer.
The first time he tracked in the woods, he hadn't found Sophia for so long, and Luffy's patience was almost exhausted. While Daryl was still staring at the footprints on the ground, he wanted to bypass Daryl and them and go to the forest ahead.
Suddenly, Luffy heard the sound of a "click" tree branch being trampled off, and the three of them hurriedly squatted down, but Luffy who ran to Rick a little in front of them was the first to see what the sound was made. It turned out that there was a slope not far in front of them, and the sound they heard was made by a zombie at the bottom of the slope.
Although I have long known that Sophia was chased by zombies before running to the depths of the woods, but now I have encountered a zombie here, and Sophia has been missing, does it mean that Sophia has been eaten by zombies? Lu Feiyang jumped behind the zombie with a jump, and before the zombie could turn around, the small hand axe in his hand chopped off half of the zombie's head.
After Luffy killed the zombie, Rick and Daryl quickly ran over. Near this zombie, Luffy found that Sophia's footprints had completely disappeared here, and other traces had been obscured. Luffy said, "Daryl, Sophia's footprints are gone!" ”
Daryl also checked the marks on the ground, thinking that he reluctantly agreed with Luffy's opinion. And after Rick heard Luffy's words, he turned the zombie that was missing half of his head over, put on a pair of thick leather gloves, stung and stung in the zombie's mouth, and quickly pulled out some fibers of clothing. Looking at the things in his hand, Rick said heavily, "This zombie looks like it's just eaten!" ”
"Can you see what it ate? What do you have in your hands? Seeing what Rick pulled out of the zombie's mouth, Luffy asked.
"We can't tell what Rick eats, but we can tell what it ate!" Darryl suddenly interjected.
"Since we can't see it, how do we know what it ate?" Luffy Yang said this, but as if he suddenly remembered something, his face turned pale and said, "Do you want to ......?" ”
Rick looked at Luffy seriously and said, "Open its stomach, and we'll know what it's eating!" ”
Daryl nodded silently, looking at the two people with serious faces, Luffy looked at the zombies on the ground whose heads were cut off by himself, and suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach. Looking at these zombies these days, Luffy Yang is already a little numb, so even if he kills these zombies with an axe, Luffy Yang is not soft, but the thought of putting his hands into the rotting body of this zombie and pulling out its stomach, Luffy Yang has goosebumps all over his body when he thinks about it. He hurriedly turned his head to look in other directions and said, "Uh, then I'll give you a warning!" I'll leave it to you to check the stomach of this zombie! ”
When the word "stomach" was spoken, the corners of Luffy's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Watch as Daryl cuts open the zombie's stomach with a knife and takes out the zombie's stomach in the rancid stench from the pavement. The muscles on Luffy's face jumped, and he turned around, trying not to think about the "operation" that was going on behind him, but to look at the woods around him.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Rick and Darryl finally examined the zombie's stomach carefully. Rick let out a long sigh and said, "No fresh flesh was found, at least Sophia wasn't bitten by this zombie!" Let's go back! It's getting late, it's getting dark. ”
Luffy Yang suffered here for a long time, that is, he didn't dare to look back at Rick's "work", and he couldn't leave Rick's neighborhood. His keen ears could hear the sound behind him as Rick checked the contents of the zombie's stomach in the silent woods.
The sound in his ears made Luffy Yang feel that it was not a good thing to have too keen hearing for the first time, and when there was a "rustle" sound in his ears, Luffy Yang couldn't help but think about how Rick was checking in the stomach of a zombie. I was sick again in my heart.
So when Luffy Yang turned around when he heard Rick's words, both Rick and Daryl noticed that Luffy's face was not very good-looking.
