Chapter 441: Missing
Zheng Jieming and the others did not see the corpse, and there were some doubts in their hearts.
"Huh? By the way, was it here yesterday? Right? Benefactor? Xiaomen scratched his head and asked Cai Ling, but he was even more puzzled than Zheng Jieming, as if the benefactor's body was gone, and he was even more sad.
Cai Ling bit his lip and frowned, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence: "Yes." It should be here. ”
An imperceptible smile appeared on Koto's face.
"Could it be that he was dragged away by other zombies?" Zhou Jitang thought for a while and said.
Geng looked at the blood stains on the ground, but found that the blood stains had already congealed and blackened, and they didn't look fresh.
But he couldn't be sure that he wasn't a medical examiner after all.
"I've been living in this back room, and I came out to pee that night, and I didn't know where the zombies appeared in the yard, so I shouted, and they came in to help me." Xiaomen replied to Geng's straight inquiry again.
Xiaomen secretly screamed in his heart, "This group of people still doesn't seem to believe me?" If it goes on like this, if it can't be done, it won't be 'grazing', so I just take advantage of the night to burn all of them!! Moreover, this group of people has guns, and it is not easy to deal with them! ”
But the food problem was the primary issue after all, and the four of them did not continue to dwell on the issue of Jiang Cai's body, but changed their attention.
"Forget it, let's ignore Jiang Cai's corpse for now, look for it, if there are any usable materials in the house, make a few more nets for catching birds, and preferably catch some things for catching mice and animals." Zheng Jieming endured the stomach pain and said, "You find out the tools you used to survive before!" ”
"Well, I have to look around again, it's best to have some food, and I have to leave this place."
The small door also went to rummage through the cabinets, and finally everyone turned out a mouse trap, a plastic net, and a bunch of nails, which were barely usable.
On the other hand, Ming Qi took the bird-catching net out of the door again, wanting to catch some birds before he set off.
Fearing that the net would be too close to the house and that the birds would hear the sound of people and smell them and not dare to come down, he looked left and right to make sure that the village was safe, so he took the net and walked a little farther away.
"Birds recognize food, and if the nets are set closer to the fields, they will be easier to take the bait, right?" Ming Qi thought in his heart and walked towards the vicinity of Tiankan.
He felt like he had gone back many years to the days when he was tinkering with his fellow children in the bird's nest.
"Yes, look for a tree, climb it, and if there is food in the bird's nest? Hey, but it's almost impossible," Ming Qi thought.
Before he knew it, he was far away from the house alone, and he began to feel a little nervous.
He looked around and made sure that there were no zombies in the empty wasteland in front of him and on the village road behind him, so he concentrated on hanging nets between trees to design traps.
He was quick and familiar with the road, and quickly hung up the net.
He patted the dust and was about to run back to the room when suddenly, a black hemp bag was placed on his head, followed by a blow from a stick, and he lost consciousness in the dark.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When the six of them returned to the room, Zhuang Yi had already cooked the sparrow bark soup.
No one could tell any sparrows, but the bowls were filled with foam from the bark.
The sparrows were boiled whole in the soup, and Zhuang Yi fished them out, cut them into small dices of meat according to the number of heads, and gave them to everyone.
So everybody can reach a piece of meat about the size of a knuckle. Even Xiaomen and Cai Ling also have a part.
If there are no new supplies, it could be the all-day meal today
"Let's line up to scoop the soup, the meat is one by one, and no one will be left behind."
Xiaomen lowered his head and drank the soup, thinking, "The shepherd dog that grazes inside is not good, and now that the rest of you have meat to eat, I can only drink some sparrow bark soup, and I have to pretend to be a grandson!" ”
Zheng Jieming looked at everyone's yellow faces, felt quite uncomfortable, and once again set his eyes on the husky held in Luo Xue's arms.
When everyone was holding the empty bowl in their hands and queuing up to scoop the soup, he walked towards Luo Xue.
"Leave it to me, dog"
Luo Xue looked up at Zheng Jieming, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Do you see everyone? It's almost to the limit, and the dog can last everyone for one more day, and the dog can't hold it without food. Zheng Jieming persuaded.
When Luo Xue heard him say this, her heart sank.
"But he might be able to help everyone find prey."
"If you have a bird net, a dog can't still catch birds. There is no sign of a wild beast passing by, and the dog is really useless now, but I am afraid that the dog is very hungry, and maybe it will bite someone. Zheng Jieming said.
Luo Xue still protected the puppy, and the puppy was also hiding in her arms, not daring to move.
"Hang Ming, what about Ming Qiren? Why isn't he here? Zhuang Yi divided the soup to the end, and found that there was an extra piece of sparrow meat, and after looking carefully for a long time, he found that there was one less Ming Qi.
Hang Ming immediately checked the heads, and there was indeed one person missing.
Zheng Jieming also walked back, drank his bowl in one gulp, looked at everyone, and said, "Hurry up and go out to see, did he go outside to lay a net by himself?" ”
There was no one in the place where the net was laid last night.
"Ming Qi!?" Hua Feng saw that there were no zombies around anyway, only the corpses of zombies, so he simply shouted.
There was no response.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
How would Zheng Jieming and the others know that Ming Qi had fallen into the hands of this group of ogres at this time.
The group of Bigmouth discussed that if someone disappeared, the group would probably not leave immediately, but would search the village, so they moved the cooking utensils to a small wooden hut in the field.
The room is also quite spacious, with a platform in front of it, which looks like a small land temple, but the things enshrined have long since disappeared.
"The small door should have been broken in, it's cold now, just leave him an arm every time, and secretly send him outside at night and let him pick it up?"
"Cut the slice and give it to him, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."
"This kid is also a huge sacrifice, hahaha! However, he still has to play a role for a long time, and he has to sacrifice! ”
After Ming Qi woke up, he didn't get much chance to be afraid, but was quickly knocked unconscious and killed by the people around him again
Moreover, it may be eaten by them in the next few hours.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Everyone had planned to leave the lifeless village quickly, but now that Ming Qi and his nets had disappeared, Zheng Jieming had to organize manpower to search for his traces everywhere.
Luo Xue lost no time in seizing this opportunity.
"You might as well let the dog help you find it!"
Zheng Jieming thought about it and agreed with her, and they let the dog sniff the place where Ming Qi had slept, trying to get it to look for clues.
But the puppy went straight to the door.
It screamed at the small door, then swooped out the door.
"Don't let it run!! That's a reserve of food!! Seeing this, Shunqiang's first reaction was to shout like this.
Everyone chased them out, but the dog ran straight towards the entrance of the village.
"Did it find something? Why are you in such a hurry? I've never seen Xiao Ha behave like this? Zheng Jieming thought suspiciously.
Xiaomen began to worry.
"You can't end up ruining the plan because of a broken dog, right?? But I couldn't have been strong yesterday!! was already locked in the firewood room, not to mention, the dog would fucking bark! What does this dog mean by yelling at me? Eyeing me?? ”
Just in case, he chased after him--no one cared to watch over him at this time.
Cai Ling was left in the house.
The puppy rushed to the house at the entrance of the village and barked at the closed gate.
Everyone rushed over, and Shunqiang actually ran the fastest and took the lead.
"I just hugged the dog! Strangle it! Take a knife and stab it to death! What's done is done! They're going to have to make dry food with dogs!! ”
Shunqiang's eyes were red at this time, and he didn't care that the dog might bite, so he wanted to be the first to catch the dog! Kill the dog!!
The dog, still barking at the door, scratching at the door with its paws, turned his head to catch a glimpse of everyone rushing over, circled the door, whined, and suddenly turned and ran away.
Shunqiang pulled out his short knife, and saw that he was about to reach the food, but he pounced.
This time the dog ran towards the field.
In a sense, this is also a kind of self-help for dogs to avoid becoming food
Zheng Jieming and the others chased after him, looked at the room, and then looked at the figure of the dog running away.
"Geng Zhi, Wei Zilong, Jin Hu, the three of you go to chase the dog, don't chase to the field!! Look at this dog should be back! Don't go far yourself, we'll have to go to you! ”
"Don't worry, we can't be Mingqi." Geng Zhi said, and ran outside the village with the two of them, "Don't go into the field, the dog will run away if it runs." ”
Zheng Jieming kicked open the door and entered the courtyard.
There seems to be an air of murder in this courtyard.
Where people have died, it always feels eerie.
Shunqiang seemed to be more sensitive to the taste of meat, and walked directly to the big house and pushed the door open.
The entrails were still haphazardly piled up in the corners of the room.
