Wang Lu and Xie Ling ran along the tributary for another half a mile, and finally found a bridge.

It is said to be a bridge, but it is actually just a bluestone slab.

By this point, the branch had narrowed considerably, and a long, not even polished stone slab, rested at either end of the tributary.

Wang Lu carried the fire axe and stepped over in a few steps.

His face turned pale.

If Chen Wei wasn't so impatient, the three of them could have crossed the tributary safely.

And now, Wang Bi'an's whereabouts are unknown, and Chen Wei is stuck in the mud again.

Not only did he lose a helping hand to find someone, but half of his mind was taken away.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and no end can be put down by yourself.

Could it be that this is the so-called misfortune that does not go alone?

Wang Lu gritted his teeth, calm down, you must be calm.

He glanced behind him, Xie Ling was panting for breath, followed closely, and noticed that Wang Lu was looking at him, Xie Ling ran a few steps faster, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Wang Lu: "Brother Wang, Sister Chen Wei will definitely be fine, and when we return later, we can still see her from the other side." ”

Wang Lu nodded, and walked briskly along the bank of the tributary.

Searching for Wang Bi'an all the way, the three of them had long lost the physical strength they had at the beginning, and their footsteps had to slow down, from running all the way to running for a short while, and then walking for a few minutes to slow down their strength.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling returned to the mouth of the tributary, looking at the figure trapped in the mud on the other bank, Wang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that in such a short time, Chen Wei would definitely be fine, but he still had to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.

Wang Lu didn't stop, and didn't even call out to Chen Wei a few times, saying, "Go!" Together with Xie Ling, continue to walk along the Yinjiang River and search.

The two followed the river for more than half an hour.

Wang Lu stopped for the first time.

Ahead, the river forked.

A stream of river water turned a 90-degree bend to the right and rushed towards its mountain weir.

Another stream of river water, but still going straight, drifted towards the center of Yinjiang Town, and at its end was a river port in the center of the town.

Where do I go?

Both roads are frightening step by step.

In the direction of its mountain weir, the zombies on the weir have also fought with a family.

In the direction of Jiangbutou, in the towns along the coast, the zombies are like holding a meeting, and they will definitely be warmly "welcomed" at Jiangbutou.

Wang Lu hesitated for a moment, and decided to look in the direction of its mountain weir.

When we reached Jiangbutou, the river stopped, so in that direction, the speed of the river slowed down a lot.

And because it is still connected with the Fenghua River, the water flow is more rapid.

If Wang Bian loses control of the boat, the boat will drift with the turbulent current.

"Go this way." Wang Lu said to Xie Ling, who was following up, and pointed to the right.

Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, and took a few breaths on her knees: "Brother Wang, there are two forks in the road." ”

Wang Lu briefly said his analysis: "Let's run faster, if it doesn't find Wang Bi'an in the mountain weir, come back and go to the town to find it." ”

Xie Ling's face was solemn: "How long will it take to go to its mountain weir?" ”

"Half an hour." The king's road rowed across the boats, and the hand-rowed boats were about the same speed as a man walking.

Xie Ling shook her head and said resolutely, "It's too time-consuming." Brother Wang, Sister Chen Wei is still waiting for us to save it. So I went up the river to the town to look for it, and you went in the direction of its mountain weir. It is more efficient to act separately and find people. ”

No way! Wang Lu almost blurted out, all disaster movies remind people of a common sense, absolutely and never scatter the action!

Chen Wei has fallen, the three of them have become two, the risk is big enough, he and Xie Ling are separated again, and they are alone in each direction facing zombies, what is this not looking for death?

Wang Lu was about to refuse, but what Xie Ling said was not unreasonable, what you need most to find someone is time. More than 24 hours, there is basically no hope at all.

And that's still not taking into account the night.

How long has Wang Bi'an been lost?

The family found him missing at noon.

At the very least, Wang Bian has been down the mountain for more than 2 hours.

The three of them came along the river, and it had taken almost 2 hours.

In a few hours, it will be evening, although it will get dark late in the summer nights.

However, without flashlights and other lighting, it is even more difficult to find people at night.

There's really no time to lose.

Wang Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let's look for it separately. I went to town. ”,

As he spoke, he prepared to jump into the water.

As the river enters the town, you can't walk on the shore anymore, and a large group of zombies are guarding there. The only way to do this is to swim in.

Xie Ling grabbed Wang Lu, without Wang Lu's explanation, she could guess Wang Lu's way to enter the town, and said hurriedly: "You carry such a heavy fire axe, can you swim?" After a pause, she said seriously: "Brother Wang, tell you the truth, how is your swimming level?" ”

Even in such a critical situation, Wang Lu couldn't help but blush. As far as I don't know the level of southeast, west, and northwest, I want to pass through the town, which is indeed choking.

Xie Ling saw Wang Lu's embarrassment: "Brother Wang, calm down, think about it, according to what you just said, there is still a zombie guarding the mountain weir, you can still deal with it with a fire axe, and this arrow in my hand is not good." But my swimming level is better than yours, as long as I try to swim in the center of the river, and don't let the zombies on the shore take advantage of it, I will definitely be able to get to the center of the town safely. I know that you are thinking that there are many zombies in the town, and it is too dangerous, so you went by yourself, but if you think about it, the only one who is really suitable to go is me. ”

Wang Lu had to admit that Xie Ling's words were reasonable.

Many times, it is not to see whether a person is capable of doing a certain thing, but to see whether he is suitable to do it.

Wang Lu no longer hesitates - every minute and every second, at this moment, is incomparably precious.

"Okay." He said briefly, turned and walked in the direction of its weir.

Xie Ling rushed at his back and suddenly said, "I'm sorry." ”

Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, and understood that Xie Ling apologized to himself for not taking good care of Wang Bi'an.

To be honest, if Wang Lu was still an office otaku, he would definitely complain that Xie Ling was not optimistic about Wang Bi'an, which caused everyone to be in a desperate situation now. Aren't all people? If you mess up something, the first thing you need to do is to blame others and shirk your own responsibility. If you can say a few small words in front of the leader, it will be even more refreshing.

It's just that today's royal road is no longer the royal road of the past.

He didn't look back: "I don't blame you." Be careful. "Don't stop, stride away.

Xie Ling glanced at the back of Wang Lu, who was still in sight, calmed down, and carefully looked at the river entering the town.

The surface of the water is calm, the current speed is not fast, but the color of the water is much darker, and the bottom is not visible at a glance.

Xie Ling took off her sneakers, thought about it, and took off her shirt and skirt as well.

Wearing only one underwear.

She looked at the arrow in her hand and smiled wryly—an arrow without a crossbow is just as much waste as a crossbow without an arrow—and stuck it in the mud on the shore.

Then I found a low embankment and prepared to launch it.

Not knowing the depth of the river in the road, Xie Ling didn't dare to jump down, climbed the stones of the embankment, turned his back to the back, and slowly entered the water.

The water temperature is very suitable, and after being exposed to the sun for most of the day, the originally cool river water actually brings a little warmth.

That's great, low temperatures are the swimmer's enemy, not only can they cramp you, but they can also take away your stamina quickly.

Xie Ling turned around lightly, found the central channel of the river, and swam towards the center of the town.
