Wang Lu and Xie Ling walked to the edge of the forest, only to find that there was a gravel road leading inside, and there were traces of the tires pressing out.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling became more and more cautious, and the two left the center of the road, one left and one right, advancing against the woods.

The stone road in front of him turned a small corner, and after the bend, Xie Ling saw a wooden gate with a big red signboard "Mingfeng Villa" on top of it.

It's a farmhouse.

High concrete walls, thick logs, double gates, and looming eaves inside.

The log gate is ajar.

Wang Lu sped up a few steps, rushed to the half-hidden door, and held the handle closer to the axe with both hands, so that he could quickly slash at close range, and then poked his head out.

Very ordinary a farmhouse. A row of single-storey houses with wooden corridors, the original owner planted a lot of grape vines, and the corridor shelves hung a lot of grapes.

In front of the house is a large lawn, with several swing racks on the lawn, and a small pond, presumably a viewing fish pond or something.

The scene behind the house is not visible, and there is a faint row of trees.

There was silence, except for the chirping of cicadas.

Wang Lu beckoned back, and soon Xie Ling's footsteps reached behind him.

Wang Lu ran in first, quickly passed the lawn, ran through the wooden corridor, and with his heavy footsteps made the corridor rumble, hurried to the nearest room, and kicked the door violently.

With a bang, Wang Lu's feet rebounded, and he almost stumbled and fell—damn, this door was really sturdy.

Xie Ling had been following Wang Lu closely, and when he saw that his attack was blocked, he didn't hesitate to swing his woodcutter and smashed it at the glass window next to him with a heavy bend, and with a bang, the glass shattered in response.

The two of them rushed to the window to see that it was an ordinary dining room, with a large round table, and nothing else.

Next, the two of them checked the past room by room, and they were no longer as reckless as they were just now-Xie Ling smashed the glass window in vain, do you want to see what is inside, can't you see it through the glass window?

There are several rooms with open doors, chess and card rooms, billiard rooms, and double bedrooms.

In front is a double-opening glass door, which is supposed to be where the front desk and the lobby are located.

If there are people, the most likely is here. There should always be a manager at the farmhouse.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling glanced at each other - although it is unlikely that there are zombies, the two of them just smashed in a mess, and they should have scared the zombies out a long time ago, but there is no big mistake in being careful. Wang Lu had also heard Chen Wei talk about the strange scene of zombies queuing up in the health center, although he couldn't figure out the strange behavior of zombies - this is not explained by the instinct of cooperative hunting - but one thing is certain, their perception of zombies still has many, many unknowns.

Wang Lu pushed open the door sideways, and did not break in directly, but waited for a while, listened carefully, and confirmed that there was no movement inside, before half-holding the fire axe into the hall.

On the left hand is a small welcome desk, and now there are naturally no girls in cheongsams or blue calico gowns, or girl zombies to welcome guests.

Behind the bamboo moon cave door, there are rows of dining tables, which are empty.

It was neat and clean. It seems that the management here has just sent off a group of guests and cleaned up like new.

Wang Lu's heart was even more determined, it seemed that there was no zombie attack here, otherwise it would have been a mess by now.

At the back of the restaurant, turn left to the bathroom, and the door on the right leads to the kitchen.

Wang Lu stabbed the kitchen door open with an axe, making a creak.

Wang Lu flashed in, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put down the axe he had been holding tightly.

The kitchen behind the door is exactly like any Chinese kitchen, with a chopping board, a water bucket, a big-eyed stove, a stainless steel steamer, a refrigerator, and more.

It was still empty.

Even the boards that were supposed to be full of ingredients were empty.

Xie Ling, who was following behind, also put down the woodcutter, and suddenly, her eyes froze, and she stretched out her finger and stabbed Wang Lu: "Brother, look." ”

Wang Lu looked in the direction of Xie Ling's finger, and there was a black drag mark on the non-slip brick, and the same black liquid was splashed next to it, which had dried up.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling tacitly picked up their weapons again and searched along the trails.

The drag marks disappear through the back door.

Pushing open the back door, there is a forest outside, a mulberry forest. …,

Wang Lu soon saw what he was searching for, a zombie, a dead zombie, a dead zombie that had been beheaded and cut in two.

The zombies were thrown at the edge of the woods, and they were burned by the fire, but they were not burned cleanly, and their bodies were still half charred and half tender.

Obviously, this is the source of the green smoke that Wang Bian saw.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling turned around again, and even looked in the mulberry forest to confirm that there were no more people and zombies in the farmhouse.

Instead, he found an iron-headed sledgehammer in one of the bedrooms, which was what the man with the long knife was used to.

The cash register next to the hall has a variety of wines, and the freezer next to it also has a variety of drinks, although there is no electricity for a long time, but the drinks can be stored at room temperature for a long time.

Wang Lu opened the freezer and took out a bottle of iced black tea and handed it to Xie Ling, who shook his head: "Sweet, tired of panicking, still give me mineral water." ”

Wang Lu changed the bottle of Wahaha to Xie Ling, and took the bottle himself.

The two dragged two chairs and sat in the wooden hallway, chatting while the wind blows.

"That classmate of yours broke up with his companion and went down the mountain alone and made it all the way to this farmhouse." Wang Lu reasoned, "He killed the zombies that the only manager of the farmhouse turned into - some farmhouses did only have one or two janitors during the non-business period, and they were thinking about going out to find food, and after catching a duck, they met Wang Bi'an." The green smoke that Wang Bi'an saw was that your classmates left to look for food when they burned zombies, because the burning was not sufficient and no one added to the fire, the fire became smaller and smaller, and the smoke was extinguished after the last day. "It's a solid guess.

Xie Ling flattened her mouth: "Break up? You said it too politely, you must not be able to beat the other party and escape. She snorted coldly and said: "At that time, we still had a lot of materials in stock, three women were killed by them, I escaped, Li Haoran died, and one was bitten was also killed, so only the two of them remained." ”

"If they are immune to the biochemical viruses of the second infection, they can still survive for a long time with those supplies."

"This guy ran out alone, empty-handed, he had to catch ducks to satisfy his hunger, he definitely couldn't beat the other person, he was forcibly seized by the other party, and he might even be killed by the other party, so he had to escape." The more Xie Ling spoke, the more angry she became, "What kind of people are these, fighting all the time, don't they know that only unity can survive?" ”

Wang Lu thought for a while: "It's no wonder that they are not surprised, after experiencing Li Haoran, everyone is afraid that the living people around them will suddenly become zombies, aren't you also afraid at that time?" In this way, it is naturally impossible for the two people, who are already pregnant with ghosts, to unite. By the way, you said, is it possible that another person was also infected for the second time and turned into a zombie, which forced this guy to escape from the small village where he could live. According to you, that small mountain village can support many people to be self-sufficient. ”

Xie Ling pursed her lips: "It's hard to say, forget it, it's not strange that these two guys make any demon moths, it's good to die." ”

Wang Lu didn't say anything, he knew what Xie Ling was thinking - those two guys almost defiled her innocent body.

Wang Lu touched his left index finger, and Xie Ling saw this small action: "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Lu raised his hand and looked at it: "It's nothing, it's a little itchy." ”

The itchy finger is the index finger that Wang Lu lost his nail when he was infected with the virus.

The nails are slowly growing back, so it's a little itchy.

Xie Ling stood up and walked to Wang Lu's side, took his two hands and looked at them in turn, the nails of the other nine fingers later fell off naturally, and it was much faster to regrow new nails.

Xie Ling carefully pressed the surface of a few nails: "Does it hurt?" ”

Wang Lu smiled: "I don't feel anything, these nails are recovering very well, you see, the color of the newly grown nails is normal, take your time, after a while, the remaining index finger can also grow a complete nail." ”

Wang Lu was a little embarrassed, he was sitting, Xie Ling was standing in front of him, holding his hands, her breasts were in front of his eyes. Xie Ling just pulled the neckline of her T-shirt down in order to be cool, revealing a piece of white greasy.

Wang Lu suddenly remembered what Chen Wei had relayed, when he was dying, he was forced by Xie Lingqiang to touch the plump in front of him - what a cheat, how could he not feel it at all when he was in a coma, it was worse than Brother Bajie who ate ginseng fruit.

Wang Lu had to divert the topic, lest his pig brother fall into Xie Ling's eyes, although he knew that Xie Ling didn't care about this, but he himself despised himself very much - either he overthrew others, or he straightened his mentality, what was such sneaky? Do you satisfy the so-called stinky man's mentality that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as stealing? …,

Xie Ling didn't notice Wang Lu's abnormality, but just concentrated on spreading Wang Lu's palm in the sun to take a closer look, in fact, there was nothing to look at, and it was a little disgusting, because the surface of the fingers that had fallen off their nails was pitted.

Wang Lu coughed: "This farmhouse is good when we have a sub-base. "Sub-base, this is the favorite of interstellar players, and so is Wang Lu, if you have a little force, you will explore the map, and as soon as you find the crystal mine, you will transfer miners from the old nest to open the sub-base.

Xie Ling became interested, turned her head and looked around: "It's good, in fact, the conditions are better than our Yashan, there are special bedrooms, entertainment venues, super large kitchens, and a well, and the lawn pond can also be used as a swimming pool, which is comparable to the villa in the American drama." It's just a pity—"

Wang Lu naturally understood the meaning of Xie Ling's words - it's a pity that this place is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Although the log gate is thick, and the hordes of zombies may not be able to open it, but the surrounding area is an unobstructed farmland, and this lonely farmhouse is a Jedi, once surrounded by zombies, there is nowhere to escape.

After a long time, when the food is exhausted, it is the time to die.

Wang Lu said: "So it can only be used as a sub-base." From Yashan to here, there is not even a place to settle down along the way, but the large tracts of fertile land along the way always have to be used, and we have developed and utilized these fertile fields in the future, this farmhouse is just for us to use as a warehouse, a transit station, a temporary resting place, and even when there is a zombie attack, this place can also be used as a fortress to hide and resist. ”

Xie Ling pondered for a moment: "It's like going to the base." ”

Lu said, "We can't always guard the cliff mountain, the development area will only get bigger and bigger, when the time comes, it is much more convenient to start from this base than to go down the mountain from the cliff mountain, not to mention anything else, sooner or later we must get a car, this car is not a mountain, but it is very convenient to park in this farmhouse, and the lanes are ready-made." Similar large-scale equipment can be put here in the future. ”

Xie Ling nodded again and again: "The crops harvested around can also be stored here, and when you want to eat them, you can just go down the mountain to get them." ”

Speaking of excitement, Xie Ling clapped her hands: "That's it, this base will belong to me." ”

Wang Lu was dumbfounded: "What do you mean it's yours?" ”

"Hmph, this cliff mountain is your lair, this Mingfeng Villa naturally belongs to me, Mingfeng Mingfeng was originally a woman's name, if it doesn't belong to me, will it belong to you?"

What kind of reason is this? Wang Lu smiled bitterly, there was no reason to talk to a woman at all, "Okay, good, this is your base." ”

Wang Lu searched around the corners and corners again, and actually found a big iron lock, locked the log gate with a lock and a piece of iron chain, and handed the key to Xie Ling, who was happy, and then re-routed.

The two returned to the beach, re-boated, and when they returned to the hurdle, Wang Lu got out of the boat and stood in the water, and dragged the boat over the hurdle.

The boat continued to move forward for about half an hour, and Xie Ling, who was sitting in the bow of the boat, suddenly called "brother", immediately covered her mouth, and turned around and gestured at Wang Lu.

Wang Lu stopped the oar, straightened up, and saw at a glance that there was a hemp duck in front of him who was looking for food in the river.

Xie Ling lowered her voice: "Quick, quick, brother, row over and catch it." ”

Wang Lu smiled and said, "What's the hurry, there is a duck here, and there must be a large flock behind it." Go, move on. With that, he returned to the stern of the boat and continued to paddle forward.

Wang Lu's idea was originally right, but after a while, three tributaries suddenly appeared in the river, Wang Lu was dumbfounded, where should he go? If you look for it one by one, you don't have to think about it.

Xie Ling stood on tiptoe at the bow of the boat, trying to find traces of other ducks from the various tributaries, which was completely in vain, even if there were one or two ducks in the tributaries, they might have swam from other tributaries, and it did not prove that there must be duck houses in this tributary.

The two were catching the blind, and Wang Lu suddenly heard a few quacks behind him.

When I looked back, it was the duck I had just seen looking for food. The fed ducks were not afraid of people, and mistakenly thought that the boat was a duck keeper, and actually followed the stern.

Xie Ling was impatient, and when she saw the duck that was delivered to the door, she didn't stop doing it, rolled up her sleeves and said, "Brother, catch this duck first, hey, there is a duck pot to try first." ”

Wang Lu didn't move, he just stretched out his hand from the side of the boat, half-immersed in the water, and the duck swam over and gently pecked Wang Lu's palm a few times with his flat beak, itching. …,

Wang Lu looked up and asked Xie Ling: "Before going out, your sister prepared lunch for us, I remember that there was a ball of pickles and glutinous rice in it, you took it out for me." ”

Xie Ling was puzzled when she looked at Wang Lu's actions, but she still took out the rice ball from her bag as she said, walked to Wang Lu's side and handed it to him.

Because Xie Ling shook the boat when she walked, the duck was frightened and moved away a little further.

Wang Lu broke a small piece of rice ball, pinched it with his fingers, approached the water, and called out in his mouth.

The duck spun around in the water a few times, slowly leaned over again, stretched its neck, pecked at the rice ball, raised its neck, swallowed, flapped its wings, quacked, and approached Wang Lu a few more points.

Wang Lu broke another piece of rice balls and continued to feed the ducks until he fed half a rice ball.

The duck was already very familiar with Wang Lu at this time, and Wang Lu's fingers sometimes stroked its back feathers and did not startle away.

Wang Lu patted the water lightly: "I don't know if this is a duck brother or a duck sister, you are also full now, and when you are full, you should go home, come on, take us to your home." ”

Xie Ling's eyes widened - is this okay?

Could it be that this duck betrayed his hometown and his brothers and sisters for half a rice ball?

Isn't this a traitor - no, a duck traitor?

That's a good idea.

I don't know if the duck brothers and sisters understood Wang Lu's words or just wanted to return to the nest when they were full, swam by the boat for a while, and when they saw that there was no more food, they flapped their wings, shook their necks, twisted their buttocks, and swam away.

Wang Lu was afraid of startling the duck, and waited for it to swim for about 20 meters before following it from a distance.

The duck came to the fork, did not hesitate, chose the second one on the left and swam in, and the king road also rowed in.

The river is a little narrow, and even more shallow, and Wang Lu is no longer paddling, because the paddles have touched the bottom of the water, so he simply uses the paddles to point to the shallows below.

After walking forward for another 10 minutes, Xie Ling exclaimed in surprise: "See, see, there is a big duck house in front." ”

Wang Lu stopped and got up, and sure enough, on the shore of 2 or 3 hundred meters in front, there was a duck house, with a low bamboo wall, which had turned into a black straw roof, and the whole duck house was crooked, as if it would collapse at any time.

Wang Lu tapped the oars a few times, and the boat got closer and closer to the duck house, and the first thing the two of them smelled was the stench of duck droppings, and then they heard a quacking sound.

There is a bamboo fence around the duck house, the opening leads to the river, the boat stopped against the fence, and with a coax, the ducks around the left side of the fence immediately flapped their wings and scattered.

When Xie Ling jumped from the bow of the boat, she was almost slipped by duck dung all over the ground, and Wang Lu, who was following behind, was quick and stretched out her hands to support her armpits, which saved Xie Ling from the risk of rolling duck dung and mud.

The two slid step by step, supported each other, and came to the door of the duck house, the so-called door, which was just a curtain made of straw, tattered and hung in a frame more than 1 meter high.

Xie Ling had been so scented with duck feces that she covered her nose tightly, Wang Lu opened the door curtain in front of the door, and a stream of heat, moisture, and stench came to her face, and there was a surge in the duck house, and flocks of ducks quacked and fluttered, pushing and shoving.
