Chapter 7. Join the army

Ouyang Hao smashed the ground hard, a group of them had been digging a trench for more than two hours, the ground was poured with cement, and it was very difficult to smash it, although it was not hot in mid-April, but Ouyang Hao and their group were already sweating.

And a large group of them are digging trenches, the sound is naturally very loud, so from time to time there are zombies on the mountain are attracted over, sometimes one, sometimes two, anyway, one or two zombies have not come to the front of the head from a long distance, a few times in order to save bullets, the officer signaled the soldiers not to shoot, and when the zombie approached, send a few people to go up and stab it in the head with a spear.

I have to say that the spear is far more convenient than the knife to deal with a single zombie, of course, the spear will not work if it encounters a large number, and if it encounters a few zombies at close range, the knife is more practical than the spear.

After a while, the officer told everyone to take a break, and then everyone lined up to a fire truck to drink.

"Damn, after digging a trench for a long time, you still let me drink tap water?" Zhou Tian said dissatisfiedly.

"I said man, don't complain, I just heard that the tap water supply in this town has been stopped, and now I'm afraid I'm drinking the river water opposite." A middle-aged man in front of Zhou Tian turned around and said.

"Who did you listen to?" Ouyang Hao, who was behind Zhou Tian, asked.

The middle-aged man said: "I heard from the two soldiers standing next to me just now, and they said that they decided to let several fire trucks in the town take turns to pump water from the river across the road outside the town, so as to supply the town's daily water. ”

Ouyang Hao sighed and said: "Actually, this is expected, most people have become zombies, who will maintain and repair the equipment, the waterworks are estimated to have become a playground for zombies, and the electricity may be stopped soon." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Don't worry about electricity for a short time, all the towns here have their own large wind turbines built on the mountains, which are enough to supply the whole town's electricity, otherwise you think there will be electricity now, and the power plant is estimated to have no living people." ”

Zhou Tian said: "Do you know this place very well, and you are also a local of the town to listen to the accent, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm from the town, and I've lived here since I was a child, so I know a bit about it." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Fellow." Zhou Tian smiled and handed over a cigarette, and the four of them smoked comfortably under the envious gaze of everyone.

"Fellow, how did you escape this disaster?" Zhou Tian asked.

The middle-aged man said slowly: "I was hiding in the attic of my house, my wife became a monster, she kept staring at me outside the iron door of the attic, and she kept staring at me for two days, until a soldier came in and burst her head, she kept looking at me for two whole days, and I will never forget her blood-red eyes." ”

Ouyang Hao patted the middle-aged man's shoulder and said: "Forget it, if you survive, it is God's favor for you, I heard that there are only about a hundred people who have survived in your town, how can there be so few, I think there are many residents now, are they all escaped from outside?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "It is true that there are only more than 100 people who survived, at that time the town was holding a large-scale cultural performance at night, almost everyone went to see it, the town originally had a population of more than 30,000 people, but most of the young people went out to work, and the remaining thousands of people were mostly old people and children, and then the cannibalism happened in the middle of the performance, and then it was ......."

Chen Feng whispered: "It's all old people and children, no wonder they can't escape, alas, ......"

Ouyang Hao asked again: "In that town, except for the troops now, the rest of the ordinary people have escaped from outside?" ”

"No," the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Most of the people withdrew with the army, only a few escaped from outside, and most of them were from the next village or town, and there are only a few who escaped from such a far away place in the city as you are, and your luck is even better." ”

"That's right." Ouyang Hao suddenly remembered and said, "This is said to be the provisional government, so who is leading here now?" ”

The middle-aged man scratched his scalp and said: "This seems to be a leadership team composed of a certain leader of HZ City and a division commander of the army, I don't know the specifics, the headquarters is in the building in the center of the town, which is the seat of the former town government, and there is a big national emblem on the house." ”

"Alright, the break is over, let's get on, hurry up, hurry up." The supervising officer shouted all the way along.

"Look, there are zombies coming, five or six." Someone on the side screamed.

Immediately gunshots rang out.

"Aren't they just a few little zombies, shouting like this?" Ouyang Hao said with a smile.

Zhou Tian also smiled and said: "That is, what is there to be nervous about, if people like them are definitely not able to escape in the city, what's the use of being so timid." ”

Chen Feng also said with a smile: "You think that everyone is as weak as you, and they are not afraid of anything." ”

"You're a fucking kid." Zhou Tian scolded with a smile.

At this time, the officer happened to walk to Ouyang Hao's side and heard Ouyang Hao's conversation, so he stopped and looked at Ouyang Hao and them.

Ouyang Hao also saw that the officer was paying attention to a few of them, so he walked over slowly, took out a cigarette and handed it over with a smile, the officer hesitated for a moment but took it, Ouyang Hao took out the lighter and helped him light it.

"Listen to your tone, how many of you seem to have escaped from the city?" The officer asked.

Ouyang Hao nodded and said, "Yes, comrade, several of us escaped from Sunshine City, there are eight of us. ”

"Sunshine City? It's a hard-hit area, I heard that except for a large number of troops who took a few survivors with them when they retreated, almost no one else escaped here, by the way, do you know Wu Xiaojun? He said he had also escaped from Sunshine City with a few other people. The officer said.

"Xiaojun, he is one of the few people who escaped with us, comrade, you know him, where is he now?" Zhou Tian said with a smile.

The officer said: "He was a platoon commander under me, and he said that one of them named Ouyang Hao was a powerful person, and he led them to escape from the city step by step, do you know that Ouyang Hao?" ”

Chen Feng smiled and patted Ouyang Hao's shoulder and said, "He is Ouyang Hao, ah, I didn't expect Xiaojun to help you do publicity, why didn't he help me do publicity." ”

The officer looked Ouyang Hao up and down, and then said with a smile: "I really can't see it, haha, do you want to join the army?" ”

"Join the army? What's in it for you? Ouyang Hao asked.

The officer also smiled and said: "You are really practical, joining the army can get a little more food than ordinary people, and it is a priority supply, of course, dangerous things will also be prioritized, such as going to other villages and towns to sweep and clean up." ”

"Well, let's discuss it, and you can smoke another cigarette." Ouyang Hao said and handed him another cigarette.

Ouyang Hao pulled Chen Feng and Zhou Tian and said softly, "What do you mean?" Do you want to join the army? ”

Zhou Tian said; "If it was me, I would definitely agree, there are many troops and weapons, and the safety factor of action is higher, but it's a pity that people didn't ask me, otherwise I would definitely agree."

Ouyang Hao looked at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng also replied: "Go, why don't you go, the salary is higher, why don't you go, you let that officer bring the two of us with you." ”

Ouyang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to him." ”

Ouyang Hao walked up to the officer and said with a smile: "Comrade, I am very willing to join the army, but my two brothers also want to join together, you see, the two of them are also very experienced survivors." ”

"Three people, you can be, but I want to test you to see if you are really as bold as Wu Xiaojun said." The officer said with a smile.

"Test? What is the test method? Ouyang Hao asked strangely.

The officer pointed forward and said, "It's not a very difficult test, there are just five zombies coming down in front, the three of you go and solve them, just give the three of you a dagger, do you dare to go?" ”

Ouyang Hao saw that five more zombies slowly walked over a hundred meters in the direction of his finger.

"What should I be, just a few little zombies, as long as it's not mutated, it's a hair." Zhou Tian shouted.

Ouyang Hao also said: "Yes, we will be tested, you can look at the result." ”

The officer took out a military dagger from his body and handed it to Ouyang Hao, Ouyang Hao handed it to Chen Feng, and then said to the two of them: "Let's go, let's go over, so many people are watching, don't mess up, be careful." ”

The three of them walked slowly towards the zombies, and the people who were digging the trenches were very strange how three of them walked towards the zombies, and they all stopped and looked at them.

The officer shouted with a bullhorn: "Don't shoot at those monsters without my orders, let those three go and kill them, and again, all gunmen are not allowed to shoot at monsters." ”

Ouyang Hao and the others walked over slowly, Ouyang Hao said: "There are five zombies, two in the front and three in the back, you two kill the first two, Zhou Tian, pick up stones." ”

Ouyang Hao and Zhou Tian each picked up two big stones on the ground, and then stood in place waiting for the zombies to come, for ordinary zombies, the three of them were almost immune, and it was such an open and prepared attack, the five ordinary zombies were really no threat.

The zombies got closer and closer, Ouyang Hao and they could already smell the strong rancid smell coming from them, and the two zombies in the front row were five meters away from them, Ouyang Hao shouted: "Brother, go on." ”

Chen Feng rushed up and pierced a dagger into the head of a zombie, while Zhou Tian smashed a stone on the face of another zombie, and the zombie was about to get up after falling to the ground, but Chen Feng's dagger pierced again.

Ouyang Hao walked to the three zombies behind, Ouyang Hao kicked the zombie who came first, kicked it out directly, and then smashed a stone on the head of another zombie, and then Ouyang Hao quickly took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and the third zombie, and then quickly rushed to the side of the third zombie, kicked at the crook of the zombie's knee, the zombie fell to the ground, Ouyang Hao picked up the stone and smashed its head a few times.

There were still two zombies left, one was stepped on by Zhou Tianyi before he could get up, and his head was smashed with a stone, and the other was killed by Chen Feng, and the five zombies were easily killed by Ouyang Hao and the three of them.
