Chapter 487: Lasso
"With firecrackers, Hang Ming, if you hear me release this kind of cupola, it means that we are also in danger." Zheng Jieming and Hang Ming agreed on a distress signal.
"Why don't you just fire a warning shot?" Wei Zilong asked.
"Under normal circumstances, we can also shoot, but the cupola is the only alarm signal, saving them from what we can do with our own guns." Zheng Jieming said.
The ship sailed out of the simple port that everyone had set up before. Hang Ming brought Xie Wuzi to the ship, he was a sniper after all, and he should be able to come in handy at a critical time.
"If you look across the river, it's actually a city." Hang Ming said, took Xie Wuzi's binoculars, and looked at the other side, "It's just that the architectural style is very different." ”
"It should be the same nature as Wuli City, which is both a city and a few scattered towns?" Xie Wuzi thought about it and said.
"But both cities are too small, and it's probably just that trend." Hang Ming said.
He noticed something slimy on the pavement over there, which looked like asphalt that hadn't dried. It's just that he didn't think much about it--he was so far away that he couldn't see anything famous through the binoculars.
Zheng Jieming had already come out of the watchtower in his car, and for the sake of safety, he tried not to go too far from the boat - although this was not the same route as when the three of them went out, his idea was to take a relatively safe road and take a look at the city before making a decision.
If there are no dangers worth paying attention to along the way, then Hua Feng and Xue Ting will not be trapped in this city.
If you really see a place with a particularly high concentration of zombies, at this time, call on everyone to get off the ship and search together, the safety factor will be much higher, and the efficiency will be much higher.
It's just that when they went out to search this circle, they found that the city was surprisingly quiet.
"Look, there aren't any zombies in this city." Wei Zilong said suspiciously, "Then did the three of them go too far and get lost?" ”
"It shouldn't be! They've got maps in their hands! Since Xue Ting proposed to go out with a map, his spatial recognition ability would not be so bad. ”
"Ahem" Wei Zilong coughed twice, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I have other ideas, is that Xue Ting really reliable?" Not long after he joined? Could it be that Hua Feng and Wang Xinrui have already been killed? ? ”
Zheng Jieming felt a pimple in his heart.
In fact, he had been thinking about it before, but he had never said it in this direction.
After all, Xue Ting's suggestion was agreed by himself.
The decision to let Xue Ting join everyone was also made by Zheng Jieming.
If Xue Ting really does this kind of thing, it will bring great problems to the subsequent management.
He was silent and shook his head slightly.
"Don't think about it, don't talk about it."
The city is not big, and they have explored it by car before, so it didn't take long for the boat and car to get to the edge of the city.
Zheng Jieming asked Hang Ming to stay in place at this time, and he drove around the city again.
There aren't many cars in the city at all, and there's no morning rush hour. Since it is a city dominated by plains, zombies seem to have migrated outward, and there is no particularly large group of corpses.
"Can you see the obvious ruts?" Wei Zilong reminded Zheng Jieming.
There is a lot of dust on the ground, and if there is a car passing by, it stands to reason that there will be traces.
Unfortunately, however, the city is also very windy, and the ruts on the ground are not very clear, which is difficult to judge.
The weeds on the side of the road were already more than a man tall, swaying wildly in the wind.
After this round, they did not find any clues in the city.
So naturally they set their sights on the south bank.
However, it is already late at this time, and the sun has gradually set to the west, and if you continue to explore to the south, the danger factor will be greatly increased.
"Let Hang Ming go back to the bridge and wait first, the two of us will go around the city south of the Red River." Zheng Jieming said.
Wei Zilong then took out the walkie-talkie he had found in the hardware store before.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When Hang Ming slowly drove the boat back to the bridge, Zheng Jieming had already driven to the south bank.
In the dim sunset, these low houses all looked terrifying, as if one monster was lying on either side.
Zheng Jieming also immediately felt abnormal.
"Why is the car a little fluttery?" He immediately felt that something was wrong.
The sound of vehicles and low beams immediately attracted the zombies in front of them.
The density of zombies south of the Red River is obviously much greater than that on the north bank!
In the darkness, the two of them only saw a surging crowd of corpses rushing towards them!!
"Oops!! Then it looks like the three of them must have come here too!! Zheng Jieming suddenly realized.
According to the zombie density of the cities on the North Shore, there will be no deadly danger at all. However, the number of zombies here has suddenly increased, and they must not have taken sufficient precautions.
What's more serious is that he immediately wanted to reverse and steer, but he also found that.
Wheel slippage! Can't turn at all!!
Zheng Jieming immediately understood what had happened to Hua Feng and them. At this time, he turned on the high beams of the car -- only to see the dense zombies in front of him rushing towards him like a procession.
"Jump out of the car!! Run back!! Zheng Jieming shouted and took out the cupola.
Wei Zilong jumped out of the car, and immediately noticed the abnormality on the ground, his feet slipped, and his whole body lay on the greasy ground outside.
There was a strange stench on the ground, but he didn't bother complaining, scrambled to his feet, and rushed in the direction of the bridge.
Zheng Jieming took out the lighter from his arms, lit the cupola, and fired it diagonally into the sky in the direction of the river.
Sou! Boom!
This alarm immediately attracted the attention of Xie Wuzi on the ship. The man's eyesight was like that of an eagle, and he immediately caught the location of the cupola launch.
"Return!! Come back to !! Xie Wuzi shouted, and at the same time immediately fired a gun into the sky, meaning that the ship had received the news.
Although Zheng Jieming and Wei Zilong had guns with them, they didn't dare to shoot at will--if a few zombies rushed out from the direction of the bridgehead because of the loud gunshots, wouldn't they have nowhere to escape? ?
The light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and at this time they could only see the outline of the zombies, but fortunately, there was half a moon in the sky, and it could barely illuminate the ground.
The boat was about to turn back, not very quickly, and at this time Zheng Jieming and Wei Zilong had already rushed onto the bridge.
"What to do? We simply didn't have time!! Wei Zilong asked anxiously, he looked back at the south, and the corpses had already rushed over -- not to mention the pistols, even if they were given two heavy machine guns, they might not be able to stop it!!
It seems that the zombies in the cities on the north and south banks of the Red River have gathered!
"Climb up the cable of the bridge!!" Zheng Jieming has no choice at this time, he can't jump into the river!! The last time he saved people in the Yellow River, he vowed never to jump into that icy river again!!
He always remembers the deep scene of looking down in the water, the cold like a black hole, which made him confirm that as long as he went down again, he would definitely be caught by the water ghost to take his place!!
The two hung on the cable, and the zombies rushed over, but they only circled below, and the few were squeezed out of the railing by the crowded latecomers and fell into the Red River, splashing a splash.
Soon, the zombies filled the entire bridge, more and more zombies fell, and the rest began to scatter in the direction they came from and the northern city.
"No wonder the north of the Red River has stopped so much, it seems that after the zombies formed a cluster, they all went to the south." Zheng Jieming thought that at this time, he and Wei Zilong hung on the rope like pirates.
The boat approached, and Hang Ming asked Huo Gong to turn on the headlights on the boat and began to observe the situation on the bridge.
"I see it!" Xie Wuzi's eyes were the sharpest, and he saw two monkey-like people hanging on the rope at a glance, "It's hanging on the cable!" ”
Hang Ming urgently stopped the boat.
"What? Hurry up and answer it! Chen Haoyang urged.
"What if the boat stops under the bridge and the zombie jumps down and jumps onto the deck?!" Hang Ming asked rhetorically, "You want to play Pirates of the Caribbean?!" Or do you want to save people?! ”
"What then? Now the two of them are hanging on it, if they don't have the strength, won't they die if they fall?! Are you afraid? Fall down, everyone will kill together!! Chen Haoyang asked rhetorically.
Hang Ming was secretly unhappy in his heart, who has been joining this team for a long time? Could it be that I still want to be selfish?!
"Okay, you're not worried, you're a hero? That's better, I'll dock the boat, you go to the shore, drive the zombies away from the bridge, and give them the opportunity to come down!? Hang Ming immediately forced Chen Haoyang to ask, "Do you dare?" ”
"Your uncle! What would you not dare?! You dock!! I'm going to drive!! Chen Haoyang was immediately enraged.
It seems that people have stayed in the apocalypse for a long time, encountered more dangers, and their temperament will also change -- Chen Haoyang was not a person who was afraid of things in the first place, and when he was provoked, he did not hesitate to move forward.
"Hmph, that's just right, dock!!" Hang Ming gave the order.
For Chen Haoyang, Zheng Jieming and Hua Feng once saved themselves at a similar bridge, and this time he came to cover for Zheng Jieming, which was very fair and just an opportunity to repay his kindness.
Zheng Jieming saw the boat approaching the north shore, and knew that Hang Ming was planning to create an opportunity for himself and Wei Zilong to come down, so he carefully moved towards the north shore.
"Zilong, hold on, let's move a little to the north."
