Volume 1 The Fifteenth Temptation of Dieting

Tao Yuan pulled the chair closer and asked puzzledly, "What do you want seeds for?" Cultivate? ”

Su Hao flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "There are a lot of available supplies in the city, but there is always a time when they run out." The defense here is weak and not conducive to defense. We had to find a suitable location in addition. ”

There were expressions of surprise and surprise on people's faces. Old Song was a little stunned, he swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked eagerly, "What do you mean, do you want to leave here?" ”

Su Hao nodded.

"Perhaps...... I mean, maybe, it's not as bad as you think. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Han Ying interjected: "Although those zombies are terrifying, their movement speed is very slow, and their movements are also very slow. We can deal with it. As long as they cooperate with each other, they can be destroyed with ordinary weapons. Of course, there are many of them, and they are everywhere in the city. We've taken out a lot of these monsters, and as long as we don't encounter hordes of corpses, we can handle them. ”

"The house is sturdy, but the windows are a real problem. We can add a layer of steel wire protection mesh inside. ”

Tao Yuan glanced at his wife sitting next to him, turned his gaze to Su Hao, and said sincerely: "There are many materials in the steel trading market in the west, and they should be used to transform this place into a fortress." ”

Lao Song nodded and agreed: "Yes!" There's water, and there's electricity. It's hard to find similar amenities anywhere else. ”

Su Hao sat quietly and did not continue.

He expected that the proposal would be opposed.

This is normal. It is difficult for survivors who have just been in the end of the world to erase the imprint left by the era of civilization in the depths of their minds. They tend to only see the good side of things, but selectively forget all kinds of disadvantages and even risk factors. This optimistic attitude comes from a long period of peace, the abundance of living materials, and a stable environment, which makes them accustomed to pushing all problems to the government, and forgetting how to deal with them.

"The situation...... It's going to be worse than you think. ”

After a few minutes of silence, Su Hao finally spoke again. He looked at everyone in the room, and his voice became calm: "Zombies evolve and mutate. It's like the process of a baby growing into an adult. They are now in their juvenile stage, and in a year, or even ten months, they will evolve into new forms. They will become agile, much faster than they are now, and more sensitive to the outside world. They are not threatened by simple rebar sticks. Especially after the physiological capacity is further strengthened, they ...... They will even start to give birth and reproduce themselves. ”

No one spoke, and the room was dead silent.

Sweat oozed from Tao Yuan's forehead involuntarily, and Lao Song's white beard twitched with the corners of his mouth. Li Xiaomei and Han Ying's faces turned pale, and Xin Yan clutched the chopsticks tightly, and her shoulders trembled slightly uncontrollably.

The old man rubbed his bulging temples vigorously, very tired, and asked in disbelief, "Is this...... How is this possible? You, how do you know this? ”

Su Hao's slightly melancholy handsome face suddenly showed a smile. It's very light, but there is an indescribable heaviness in it: "As I once said: the police and the army will never appear, there will be no rescue, and there will be no help, we can only rely on ourselves." All this ...... It's all true. ”……

The emotions of loss and fear didn't last long. Shocked, the survivors began to worry about the future. Tao Yuan and Lao Song did not continue to ask, Li Xiaomei and Xinyan's eyes were full of worry, and together with the youngest Han sisters, they coincidentally chose to remain silent.

They all believed that Su Hao would not lie, and it was impossible for him to pretend about this kind of thing. As for what he is for, he will know these things...... Everyone has their own secrets, and since they believe it, they should let the other person keep it.

The dishes and chopsticks on the table have been cleaned up, and the map of the city from the nearby bookstore has been spread out neatly. Su Hao called up the floor plan that he bought at a great price in the depths of his memory, which coincided with and confirmed the real drawings in front of him, and found the specific location of the "City Agricultural Materials Company" from countless graphics and words.

"There should be a two-step process: while collecting available resources, you must also go outside the city to survey the terrain. Finding another location is not as simple as lip service. The vicinity of the residential area must be suitable for cultivation and have sufficient water sources. ”

"More building materials. We don't have enough manpower, and it will be difficult to build a house in the wilderness. ”

"We need heavy-duty trucks with off-road capabilities. That thing can hold a lot of things at once. As a last resort, it is best not to use the grain stored in the warehouses outside the city. In addition, some solar or wind power generation equipment must be collected. The installation process is actually very simple, as long as there is a manual. ”

"And gasoline, and medicine......"

Except for the watchmen on the rooftop deck, everyone participated in the planning and discussion. Although the plan is simple, it is very operable. Each project has been continuously improved and supplemented, opinions and contradictions will always exist, and the most practical parts can still be extracted.

"In addition to that, we need to continue hunting zombies."

Su Hao looked around, took out a metal pipe from his pocket, poured out a silver bone, spread it in his palm, and said seriously: "This thing is very important, I don't exaggerate the facts." Collect as many as you can. Remember! The more the merrier! ”……

The sky is getting brighter.

The city is still dead and silent, and the hustle and bustle seems to be engulfed in a black hole, leaving only the cold concrete ruins. The gray high-rise building no longer looks like a symbol of the development of civilization, but a tombstone representing death. The streets and corners are littered with the remains of the dead, rotting along with the undisposed garbage of the chaotic period, emitting an increasingly intense stench that envelops the city and makes it more and more like hell.

Hu He stood in front of a twenty-four-story building, looking up at the majestic and cold building, his face full of flesh, revealing a bit of obvious excitement and hideousness.

On the street, more than five meters behind him, two black cars were parked. Along with the driver, there were five men and one woman in the car.

A lot of people can drive, and there are quite a few people who steal cars. Even if you smash the underside of the steering wheel without a key and start the engine with a wire, you can learn the trick just a few times.

Hook stood beside Hu He, touched his scarred neck with palpitations, leaned over his head, and whispered flatteringly: "Boss, this is the most suitable place." ”

The building is located to the east of the bank's offices, about 300 meters in a straight line. With the help of a telescope obtained from a Russian goods store, it is possible to clearly see all the movements of the survivors on the other side.

According to the report of the snoopers, Hu He already has a general understanding of the basic situation of Su Hao's team.

There are at least five of them, and no more than nine.

There were old men, there were women, and there were only two strong men.

They have cars, they go out every day, and they should have saved up a lot of supplies.

Regardless of the number or the amount of strength, the other party is at a disadvantage. In other words, Huhe has a huge chance of winning.

The environment can change a person very completelyβ€”β€”β€”β€” compared to before the outbreak of the virus, Huhe has become a different person. He has long forgotten the role of a trainer in the gym, is no longer modest, and is no longer cautious. Violence and desperation made him truly feel the benefits of power. He can do whatever he wants, kill everyone who doesn't like it, vent on those women who are otherwise unattainable, and even storm banks and jewelry stores to rob what he likes...... He feels like a drug addict addicted to power, he can't quit at all, his ambition and ** are further inflated, and he wants to get more, rob more, and possess more all the time.

Hook and others, who were in charge of the snooping, found that there was water in the small building, and it was likely that there was a small solar power system.

This news made Hu He's heart itch and scratch, and he wanted to immediately bring someone to rush in and possess everything.

He didn't realize until now that water was so precious.

Hu He can't remember the last time he took a bath? He felt sick all over, it was hot and greasy. The second floor of the gym smells of semen and body odor at all times, and although he repeatedly insists that he must dispose of his feces with empty bottles, waste paper and plastic bags, there is always some dirt left in the bathroom. There are more and more of them, so much so that the air in the stadium is so foul and disgusting that it is disgusting.

For women, it is difficult for Hu He and his men to be interestedβ€”β€”β€”β€” they are too dirty. Without water washing, the surface of the skin is full of dirt, and the smell of the lower body greatly affects the **. This situation has long been accustomed to wild survivors in the future world. But now, Hu He's mind still retains all kinds of common sense of life in the era of civilization. He had a hard time adapting and couldn't stand it.

He constantly sent his men to find new places to live. Due to the fear of encountering a large crowd of corpses, the search was limited to the vicinity.

In order to prevent land subsidence caused by excessive groundwater extraction, most of the city's wells were blocked more than a decade ago. Only a small number of units that have undergone special approval have the authority to take groundwater. Despite his desire to find another place to live, Huhe had to succumb to the harsh reality.

There is water, there is electricity. Before the outbreak of the virus, this was a convenience that every city dweller could have.

Now, it is extremely enviable, even crazy happiness.

Huhe did not act rashly. He clearly remembered the scene that happened at the door of the small supermarketβ€”β€”β€”β€” Su Hao and the others had guns in their hands, which was an absolute advantage that was difficult for his side to make up for and could not be compared at all.

He had to be cautious.

He needs to monitor the bank office carefully and in all directions from a better angle, find the weaknesses of Su Hao and others, and find the most favorable opportunity to make a move. The building in front of you is the best observation point.

Suppressing the strong impulse in his heart, Hu He squinted at the respectful hook next to him and asked, "How is it, everything has been dealt with?" ”

The hook half-bowed and said timidly: "We only searched the hall on the first floor, except for the main entrance, the rest of the passages were sealed with wooden planks and steel bars. The zombies can only enter and exit from here. ”

This is a commercial office building. No one knows how many zombies are entrenched in the road? The situation is not yet clear, and no one dares to go deeper into the higher floors. To do so would be tantamount to suicide.

Hu He nodded slowly, turned around, and glanced at the woman sitting in the back seat of the carriage, sandwiched between two strong men, with a cruel sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, the hook walked over knowingly.

Like Cao Rui, the woman is also a student of a gym yoga class. He was in his forties, very fat, and average-looking. If it weren't for the predicament of food shortages, Hu He would have thrown her out of the coffin and fed her to the zombies as a snack.

She was stripped naked, her hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was sealed with a large piece of duct tape, leaving only her nostrils to breathe. The hook approached the car and made a gesture, and the strong men on both sides immediately twisted the woman's arms and dragged her out of the car. The hook checked the rope that bound the woman's wrist again, and dragged a chain from the rear of the car, firmly fastened to the center of the knot.

The woman struggled desperately, her eyes wide, her cheeks bulging high, and her nostrils and throat making terrified "hmm" sounds. She writhed vigorously, her eyes filled with tears, and the expression on her face was sad and pitiful, obviously pleading. These actions are more and more stimulating for men to be violently violent**. They laughed, kicked with their feet, smashed with their fists, pumped with sticks, drove the women down the road and stood alone.

Hu He leaned on the pole on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, and watched with interest.

Perhaps sensing the impending danger, the woman suddenly turned around and ran desperately, and the soles of her feet were hurt by the stones, and she couldn't reduce the speed of running. The ** who wanted to live made her forget everything, and also forgot the ropes tied to her hands, as well as the chains.

The white ** figure was completely fixed as soon as it rushed out more than a hundred meters. The straightened chains showed that this was the maximum she could escape. The woman was dragged to the ground on the spot by inertia, and the crowd watching from a distance erupted in a playful laugh. And the only thing a woman can do at the moment is to twist her body desperately, using her head, feet, and shoulders to try to contact her hands tied behind her back, trying to break free.

"Damn, what's so funny about this?"

Hu He took a big puff of cigarette, kicked the nearest subordinate hard, and shouted and scolded: "Get her to Lao Tzu, hurry up, we don't have much time, give me a β€”β€”β€”β€”"

With joyful and excited expressions, the men dragged the woman back. Several strong men held down the woman's shoulders and limbs respectively, took out a fire axe from the carriage with a hook, checked it in his hand, and a cruel smile swept across the corners of his mouth, waved it high, and slashed it at the knee of the woman's left leg.

The crisp sound of bones cracking shattered the gloomy silence over the city.

The woman writhed back and forth in a pool of blood, like a loach that had lost its water and drilled into it. Her eyes almost popped out of her sockets, and a terrible howl came out of her throat. The brawny men let go of their hands and watched as she rolled around in blood and mud. She clung to the wound, her bloodshot eyes staring at the broken leg a few meters away. The tape that covered his lips was rubbed with dust. She lay on the ground, squirming her body to shorten the distance between her and the broken leg, and at the same time stretched out her right hand with bulging blood vessels, as if she felt that she could take the severed limb back and put it back on.

Although it is not the first time that he has killed someone, Hook is still a little afraid of this bloody scene. He swallowed hard, and under the cold gaze of Hu He, he picked up the broken leg on the ground, trotted into the entrance of the building, paused the fresh lump of meat on the floor of the hall, and dragged it out along the outflow of bone marrow and blood. At the end, it is placed flat on the steps.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

There was a loud and slow footstep in the building, chaotic and dense, growing clearer.

Hu He looked up at the other car that had been sent to the end of the street, but the other party did not give any signal. This means that the direction is safe and there are no zombies.

Twenty seconds later, deep in the shadows at the entrance to the building, a zombie staggered figure was revealed.

There was a large flock, at least more than thirty heads.

They are hunched on their backs and move stiffly, like toys that are running low on battery and can stop at any moment. The clothes on his body were tattered, and he could barely distinguish the sex before the infection by the pattern. Probably due to the lack of water, most of the exposed muscles have atrophied, and the lips have wrinkled up and down, revealing rows of sharp teeth. The blood on the lips of the zombies walking in front of them was brightly colored, which also stimulated the followers behind to speed up their pace, howling and pounced on the broken leg on the steps.

The sedan had started, and the chain that extended from the back of the car was clamping down on the woman lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the road. Hu He touched his chin full of stubble, watched the zombies fight for the broken legs, and then cast his hungry eyes on the dying woman under the inducement of blood and smell.

"Drive! Slow down a little bit and let those damn guys catch upβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

He sat into the carriage scolding, looking at the crowd of corpses in the rearview mirror.

The tires of the sedan slowly turned, dragging the half-dead woman, and also attracting the zombies who followed them with a thirst for blood and flesh. The driver alternately pressed the accelerator and brake, keeping the distance between the woman and the corpse about ten meters. Zombies were screaming and falling forward, but they couldn't grab the food that was close at hand. Their irritated eyes reddened and grew angrier, but they could never pick up their speed and moved farther and farther away from the building......

Lao Song took over from four o'clock in the morning, replacing Han Jing to stand on the roof of the building and be in charge of guarding. Layers of tall buildings obstructed his view, and without a sharp shout as a cue, he could not see through everything and find the tragedy that was unfolding hundreds of meters away, nor could he talk about detecting any conspiracy.
