Chapter 402: Desperate Villagers
()()()
Zhoujia Village, one of the countless ordinary villages in the land of China, although it is not truly isolated from the world, the villagers here generally rarely go out to see the outside world
A few months ago, when the world changed dramatically, because the policy was not issued here in time, hundreds of villagers here did not evacuate and were trapped in the mountains, if it was just like this, the villagers here would have been swallowed up by the increasingly powerful mutant beasts, but fortunately, Ling Tao came here by mistake, and took everyone to collect food to fight against the mutant beasts, so that the villagers here were able to survive
In the past few months, the hundreds of villagers who were originally trapped in the small part of the school have expanded their living areas a lot because of the lack of weapons and food, and the area where the villagers live is at least ten times larger than when Ling Tao and the others left
On the basis of the original school, the perimeter is surrounded by thick trees as a fence, and the middle is filled with earth and stones, forming a primitive fence wall, which can barely resist the impact of some not very powerful mutant beasts, of course, if you encounter some huge mutant beasts, this wooden wall is no different from paper paste
It's afternoon, the sky is blue, cloudless, even in the late autumn season, the sun is still shining on people at this time and it makes people want to sleep well
However, at this time, the entire area where Zhoujia Village lived was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair and fear
Outside the fence, in the direction of the mountain, hundreds of mutant rats are attacking the area where the villagers of Zhoujia Village live, these rats, the large ones with their tails are five or six meters long, and the small ones are one or two meters long, and most of their hair is colored
The sharp claws of the rat can easily tear off the sawdust on the wooden fence, and it is easy to bite off a piece of the wooden fence, and it can be said that the entire Zhoujia Village is in danger at this time
On the wooden fence, more than 100 villagers desperately resisted the terrifying onslaught of rats outside
In the past few months, the villagers have put on leather armor, and it is not the simple leather armor that Ling Tao and them used to wear, but the leather armor sewn after the fur of at least three layers of mutant beasts is dried, and the middle is inlaid with bamboo and iron pieces and other things with strong defense, ordinary bullets cannot penetrate it, this kind of leather armor protects the heads, bodies and limbs of the villagers
In addition to the leather armor, the weapons of the villagers have also been greatly improved, and in their hands are all straight-backed long knives about one meter three or four long, this kind of long knife has some visible points on it, which is extremely sharp, and in the hands of the villagers, it can easily tear the fur of mutant mice
Straight-backed knives, spears nearly three meters long, as well as bows and arrows and leather armor, these are the standard equipment for the villagers
"Resist, you must resist, kill these damn miscellaneous pieces even if you die, you have to resist me, don't forget, behind you, are your family, wives and children, once you can't stand it, you have to think about them", Zhou Mancang stood in the middle of the fence, in the most ferocious area of the rat tide, the long knife in his hand slashed out, and slashed on the nose of a rat that almost rushed to the fence, tearing a wound close to Mish, and roared hoarsely after knocking it back
This battle has been going on for more than an hour, although it can withstand the rats and cannot rush into the village, but the villagers have also died more than 20 people, the rest of the people are everyone very tired, many are injured, most of the villagers are in leather armor torn by the claws of rats, the situation is precarious
"Kill ......" One of the villagers stabbed his spear out of the eye of a mutant rat for a full meter, and the rat fell off the fence at once, however, before he could rejoice, a rat jumped up, pulled out its tail like a long whip, and whipped him down, falling into the mouse, and was torn to pieces and eaten by the rat swarm in a few clicks
From time to time, the villagers have no time to be angry or rescued, and they only think about killing more rats to make the villagers behind them safer
In the battle so far, in fact, there are not many dead rats, mainly because they are large, and slashing the rats with knives can only injure them at most, unless they are pierced into the vital positions of the rats with spears and bows and arrows to kill them
......Boom, a rat with a body length of more than seven meters, like a tank, rushed over and crashed into the fence, the fence shook, clicked, as if it was about to collapse at any time, and even several villagers above were shocked and fell behind
"Kill, kill this big mouse, if you let it rush to the fence, it'll be over", Zhou Mancang shouted hoarsely, and pointed the long knife in his hand to the rat under the fence
Whoosh...... more than a dozen arrows shot away, poofing and shooting at the mouse, but it did not cause much damage to the mouse, but aroused its ferocity
The rat jumped on the ground, jumped up to a height of five or six meters, jumped on the fence at once, swept its tail away, and directly swept several villagers away
"Kill ......", several villagers rushed over desperately and stabbed the rat into the body with a spear nearly three meters long in their hands, and the blood was left along the barrel of the gun, making it difficult for the villagers to hold the spear in their hands
"Squeak squeak......", the mouse roared, a paw was slapped out, the cold claws tore a villager directly with leather armor to pieces, the hideous mouth opened, biting a villager in the mouth, in the clattering sound, blood splashed, and the villager was swallowed by it chewing a few times
Bang......, a gunshot rang out, a piece of iron sand bullet shot out, hit the corner of the mouse's eye, one eye was blown out, the mouse stood unsteadily, and suddenly fell off the fence, a villager took this opportunity, with the spear in his hand stabbed the mouse in the eye, the other party fell down and did not move after a few strokes
Zhou Taigong, who was behind the fence, didn't look at his gray hair, but at this time he didn't look the slightest fear, holding an earthen musket in his hand, a puff of smoke was rising, and it was his old man who shot before
"Evil, this is evil, where did these rats come from, Zhoujia Village, dangerous ......", Zhou Taigong said with a desperate face
"Taigong, we can't wait any longer, let's use that thing, otherwise when the rats rush in, everyone will be finished", a half-old child said worriedly beside Zhou Taigong, his body trembling
"That's it, use it now, otherwise there will be no chance to use it, I hope this will make the rats retreat", Zhou Taigong compromised
After receiving his orders, several villagers suddenly came out, carrying two bamboo baskets, and inside the bamboo baskets, there were chili peppers the size of a baby's fist, red chili peppers
When the peppers were carried not far from the fence, some villagers carefully grabbed a few from the inside and threw them out of the fence with all their might
Although this is just an ordinary chili pepper, but after being thrown on the mouse, it actually exploded like a bomb, of course, the power and the bomb are incomparable, and it can only burst into a basketball-sized flame, the flame burns, burning the hair on the rat's body rattle, and the smell rises
Originally, these chili peppers were the last defensive weapons of Zhoujia Village, there were no weapons like guns here, this kind of chili peppers that burned when they were thrown out and slammed things were still collected with great difficulty, and they could not be used unless they had to, but now the entire Zhoujia Village is almost finished, and they can't care so much, if all the villagers who resist on the fence are dead, it is useless to keep these things
As these peppers were thrown out, they burned next to each other, and in the swarm of rats outside, a raging flame rose in an instant, and many animals were born with fear of flames, and at this time the flames burned in the swarm of rats, not only burning them squeaking, but also because of the fear of the flame rats scurrying around
As a result, the villagers who resisted the rat colony on the fence were greatly reduced in pressure and fought back, and the casualties still existed
However, the power of this kind of burning pepper is small, it can only burn mice, and it is simply wishful thinking to kill them, and in order to maintain the status quo, it has to continue to throw peppers, so that the peppers are not much, and the consumption is large, so it can't last long
In fact, at this time, all the villagers of Zhoujia Village knew that they were just struggling to the left, once the rats rushed in, no one would survive, and being able to resist for more than an hour was already their best effort to fight bloodily
"The sky is going to die in my Zhoujia Village, my Zhoujia Village has been living here for more than ten generations, I never thought that the village would be destroyed today, pity those babies", Mrs. Zhou said with tears in her eyes, there is really no way
As the peppers were almost exhausted, the flames outside gradually extinguished, and the exposed rats once again launched a violent impact, and in the rumbling sound, the fence that had been held for more than an hour collapsed at once, and a gap appeared, and one after another large rats rushed in from the gap
"Give up here, retreat to the school, and use the layout there to resist again," Zhou Taigong said at the first moment when the fence collapsed
As a result, the villagers abandoned the fence and rushed to the nearby school before the rats were able to rush in large numbers
Outside the school, there is not only a trench dug out of nearly five meters wide and three meters deep, but also filled with sharp bamboo sticks, plus the school wall, it should be able to resist for a little time, but everyone knows that they are just struggling, and it is a moment to live longer
"Let's go, there seems to be an accident in the direction of Zhoujia Village", outside the mountain col, Ling Tao frowned, looked in the direction of Zhoujia Village and said, he ran in the direction of Zhoujia Village...... (To be continued)
