Chapter 552: Abandoned Campfire in the Snow

Wang Lu put down the walkie-talkie, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for the small gains of the Einsatzgruppen, and turned his head, but saw Chen Qiong twisting his hands nervously, and he immediately understood his daughter's thoughts--Seeing that Shen Mugu and even Xi Jiachao, who had different intentions, had made meritorious contributions, but he had nothing to gain, and he was uncomfortable.

Wang Lu hurriedly stepped forward and patted Chen Qiong's shoulder: "Don't be in a hurry, your ability to accept is the image and emotion from the zombie's brain waves, and now this zombie is like hibernating, neither can you see any images of the outside world, nor has any emotional fluctuations, you naturally can't sense it." ā€

Chen Qiong said in frustration: "I'm sorry Dad, I, I'm really useless." ā€

Wang Lu smiled: "It's really a child's words, Dad used to be more useless than you, and when he killed the first zombie, he only dared to shoot a water gun through the crack in the door." Let's go slower and give you plenty of time to get a good feeling. ā€

Chen Qiong nodded heavily, turned around and climbed a high slope, closed his eyes, and sensed it carefully.

Wang Lu turned around and gathered together with a few young men from the Armed Forces Department, and whispered to everyone to pay attention to shelters such as caves and ravines, after all, they couldn't really put the hope of searching for zombies on an underage girl.

Xie Ling sat on the side as if bored, checking a crossbow in her hand, which was originally given to Chen Qiong by Wang Bi'an, and later handed over to the Finance Department, because Chen Qiong participated in the outing operation this time, and was distributed again. Chen Qiong wanted to sense the brainwaves of zombies, so she handed over the crossbow to Xie Ling.

This crossbow was what Xie Ling was used to, and she groped for the familiar crossbow body. I can't help but think of the years when I worked hard with Wang Lu in Yinjiang Town, alas, it was still a simple time at that time. At that time, the dead fat man only dared to secretly look at his thighs, which is like now, although he lives under the same roof, he is still untidy. In the final analysis, it's still Wang Lu, this dead guy, has a thief's heart and no guts, and you just touch the old lady's bed in the middle of the night, which is better than the current half-hanging.

Chen Qiong thought of Feng Zhenzhen again. Today's action. Qian Zhengang stayed in Yinjiang Town, and only Feng Zhenzhen participated as the only medical staff, but when the team was divided, Wang Lu did not hesitate to assign her to the Guanxin group.

It seems that there are no ulterior secrets between the two at all. Chen Wei let herself pay attention to Wang Lu and Feng Zhenzhen's actions, but it was completely in vain.

At this time, Wang Lu commanded everyone to move forward again, this route. In fact, it is roughly the same as the road to the trap yesterday, and everyone is no stranger to it, so it went relatively smoothly. Wang Bi'an also has the spare strength to help Chen Qiong climb high and low from time to time, searching for every place where zombies may be hiding.

With the experience of the other two teams, Wang Lu also assigned a temporary cut of long bamboo poles to each of them, and whenever there were suspicious snowdrifts. Just poke and swept.

After walking for a while, Chen Qiong suddenly stopped: "Wait! ā€

Wang Lu waved his hand and signaled all the staff to be quiet.

Chen Qiong closed her eyes, raised her head to the sky, and turned left and right. It looked like an early radar searching for a target, and she muttered, "What a strange image, it seems to be pitch black, I almost missed it." No, it's still a little shiny. It's just not clear to see. Strange, what kind of image is this? ā€

Wang Lu nodded at everyone. Everyone scattered, Chen Qiong's induction was 100 meters, if it was really an image from a zombie, it was not far from everyone, everyone simply used bamboo poles to stab around, sweeping the snow and flying.

Chen Qiong suddenly screamed: "Stop!" Don't move! ā€

Everyone stopped, and Chen Qiong turned sideways in the southeast direction: "It was a hole, and suddenly a very bright light came in just now." That's right, it's a hole - the zombie should be looking at the hole from the bottom of the hole, the original hole is covered by snow, so there is not enough light. Someone had just moved the snow at the entrance of the cave, so the light came in again. ā€ā€¦,

Wang Lu said sharply: "All the staff are on alert, looking for the entrance to the cave!" ā€

Chen Qiong's instructions have been very clear, this cave is within the range of everyone's "snow removal and corpse shock" just now, Wang Decheng quickly shouted: "Hole! There's really a hole here! ā€

Everyone rushed up, the hole, hidden under the snow on a mountain wall, the hole is not big, but the inside is black, you can't see the bottom at a glance, Wang Lu shines with a strong flashlight, you can faintly see that this is an inverted funnel-shaped water hole, the mouth is small, the belly is big, about 3 or 4 meters deep, the bottom of the hole, you can faintly see what is lying down, a row of people huddled together.

Chen Qiong screamed: "This is it, this is it!" Daddy, I can 'see' your flashlight! ā€

Wang Lu quickly ordered: "Prepare the safety rope and go down the hole." Chen Qiong can receive the brain waves of the zombies in the cave, which shows that the zombies still have a certain degree of activity, everyone should be vigilant, I will be the first to open the way for everyone. ā€

Wang Decheng gritted his teeth: "Captain Wang, how can you come out of the way?" We don't eat dry rice in Yashan! I'll go first! ā€

Wang Lu frowned: "Although the bottom of this cave is big, the entrance of the cave can only allow one person to pass through at a time, and the first person to go down the cave has to be careful of the siege of zombies." ā€

Wang Decheng was appointed to a small position by Wang Lu not long ago, and when he was eager to seek merit, he patted his chest: "What are you afraid of, our equipment is not vegetarian." ā€

Wang Lu didn't drag the mud and water: "Okay, you go down first, don't go too fast when you go down, call us if there is danger." ā€

Wang Decheng was not rude, he picked up a few pieces of dry wood, poured gasoline, lit it, threw down the hole for lighting, and then grabbed the rope and climbed down.

At a depth of more than 3 or 4 meters, Wang Decheng alternated his hands and feet a few times, and his toes reached the bottom of the cave.

As soon as he jumped, he took advantage of the situation and drew his double axe and made a circle around him - without touching any obstacles.

Wang Decheng lowered his head, and the ceiling light on his helmet immediately illuminated the scene of the cave - dozens of zombies were crowded one after another, lying or sitting at the bottom of the cave.

It was a little slippery underfoot, but there was water at the bottom of the cave, and now it was frozen.

At this moment, Chen Qiong's shout came from the entrance of the cave: "Uncle Wang Decheng be careful!" The image of the zombie I'm seeing is moving, and it's crawling towards you! ā€

Wang Decheng hurriedly looked around, but he didn't see a zombie rushing towards him, and when he listened carefully, he did hear a very slight inciting crawling sound. The voice came from under his feet.

As soon as Wang Decheng lowered his head, he saw a zombie like a marionette, crawling on a pile of stiff zombies one by one, "pounced" at him, but its limbs were frozen, and its movements were really inflexible, and the crawling speed was a little faster than that of a snail.

Wang Decheng grinned, raised his head and said, "Come down." There is no danger at all. ā€

Sure enough, there was no danger at all, and after Chen Qiong crawled down from the entrance of the cave, the only zombie who was still awake and could move was still crawling like a robot dance.

Wang Bi'an was not polite, took out a screwdriver and pounced, shouting in his mouth: "Sister Xie Ling, you and I have killed more zombies than anyone." ā€

Xie Ling smiled: "What kind of hero is it that bullying other people's zombies can't move?" But the subordinates didn't stop, and the trigger was pulled. With a thud, a crossbow arrow came first, preempting Wang Bi'an and shooting a zombie through the brain.

Instead, Wang Lu shouted: "Don't kill the one that can still move, let Chen Qiong exercise his sensing ability." ā€

It's too easy to kill frozen zombies, after chopping a few zombies. Everyone found that it was still easier to use a screwdriver like Wang Bi'an, and before everyone even warmed up, all the zombies in the cave were accounted for, and even Chen Qiong tried to shoot the zombie who was always stubbornly crawling with a crossbow arrow.

One count. There are actually 26 zombies in this cave. …,

Wang Lu looked up at the small hole: "I think it's too cold, forcing the zombies in the wild into this hole." The cave has always been warm in winter and cool in summer, but I didn't expect Yongcheng to be particularly cold this winter, even if I hid in, I was all frozen. ā€

Wang Decheng kicked the corpse of a zombie: "Captain Wang, look." When the zombie crawled into the hole, it fell, and the bones in this arm were broken. ā€

Wang Lu was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "We have worked hard in vain, this hole goes straight up and down, there is no place around to focus, but it is like a big urn, and it is easy for zombies to come in." It's hard to get out, but it's good to help the outside force, even if these zombies can't climb out even when the weather warms up and the ice and snow melt. ā€

Everyone thought for a moment, but that's not the case, this hole is a Jedi for zombies.

Wang Lu led everyone to climb out of the cave along the rope, and after Chen Qiong found that his induction was really useful, he was confident, and because of his experience, in the next half a day, he found several groups of frozen zombies one after another.

Everyone spent more effort climbing the mountain than killing zombies. The walkie-talkie is also a frequent good news, rough calculation, since entering the mountain today, more than 20 people have actually killed three hundred zombies, this number is not much, it is rare that the Einsatzgruppen is unharmed, so everyone is high.

After walking for a while, Wang Lu suddenly stopped: "Heh, look what is that?" It's a trap we came to yesterday. ā€

Sure enough, there was a big pit in front of him, which was the place where Wang Lu and his party returned empty-handed yesterday. On the snow, there are still messy footprints.

Further on, there was a strange area, Wang Decheng asked: "Captain Wang, where are we going?" ā€

Wang Lu scratched his head, turned his head and asked Chen Qiong: "Where do you say it's okay to go?" ā€

Chen Qiong squirmed and said, "I—I don't know. ā€

Wang Lu laughed: "Fuck it, wherever you go." He walked forward.

This time, everyone walked through the mountains and forests for an hour, and the more they walked, Wang Lu's face was ugly, because Chen Qiong didn't even find a zombie along the way!

Seeing his mother's ghost, it was as if after crossing the trap set by the armed forces, the zombies were all extinct.

Wang Lu tried to call Feng Haiqi and Guan Xin on the walkie-talkie, but the complex terrain had cut off the signal.

It was false to say that Wang Lu was not angry, but he was embarrassed to show his face to Chen Qiong, so he could only shout at Wang Decheng and the others, asking them to observe the surrounding terrain a little more, "You can't rely on other people's little girls to fight!" ā€

Wang Decheng and others are also a little embarrassed, although they have the name of an armed forces, in fact, everyone has never been a soldier before, and they are here to go to the mountain, even if they climb the stone steps, they can also climb out of the sweat. Now it's completely drilling in the deep mountains and old forests, and it's okay to have no stumbling and wrestling, where is the extra energy to take care of the whereabouts of the zombies?

Looking at the two eyes, except for the forest is the forest, except for the ice is the snow, where to find it?

Chen Qiong was already so anxious that her eyes were full of tears, and if it wasn't for Xie Ling comforting her, she could cry.

Wang Bian couldn't help his sister, so he kicked the snowdrift next to him to vent his anger. Suddenly, he kicked a black object out of the snowdrift.

Wang Bi'an glanced at it, but it was only a torn sandal. He kicked again, trying to kick the shoe into a nearby ditch.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands pressed his shoulders: "Don't move." "It's the king's road.

I saw Wang Lu staring at the shoes, as if he had seen some treasure, and his eyes were shining.

Wang Lu squatted down, picked up the pair of shoes, patted the snow on them, and examined them carefully, Wang Bi'an muttered puzzledly: "A broken shoe." There are so many things in this mountain, what is there to see. ā€

Wang Lu glared at Wang Bi'an: "If this is a tourist route, it is not surprising that there are broken shoes abandoned by tourists, but there are few people here for many years, and we are not walking on a serious mountain road, why will a broken shoe suddenly appear in the barren mountains and mountains?" ā€ā€¦,

Wang Bian was stunned.

Xie Ling faintly thought of something, and she blurted out: "These are sandals that are only worn in summer." In the winter nowadays, who would walk in the snow and ice in sandals? ā€

Wang Bi'an half-opened his mouth: "Sister, Dad, you don't think that these shoes are left by zombies, right?" He shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that the zombies were already frozen?" The shoe wasn't buried deeply, it wasn't left early in the morning, when I saw it. Half pulled the heel and exposed in the snow. Unless the zombies just passed by here and left these shoes, otherwise, they would have been buried deep in the snow. ā€

Wang Lu didn't know this detail yet, but after listening to Wang Bi'an's words, he frowned deeply and muttered, "Damn." Are there zombies still alive? ā€

Everyone was shocked, and Wang Decheng said: "It's unlikely, right?" We killed so many frozen zombies just now, even if there is a handful of people who can move, their limbs are stiff and messy, and they can't even climb the ropes, let alone climb over the mountains. ā€

Wang Lu waved his hand: "We can't take it lightly. Don't forget, there are also smart corpses among zombies, I never despise the wisdom of smart corpses, hum, the way to warm up in winter is not only understood by us humans. ā€

Wang Lu ordered one after another: "Shrink the formation and raise the perimeter vigilance." Focusing on these shoes, we search for a range of 500 meters around the area. ā€

Wang Lu thought about it, but still slammed his forehead and punched it, activating his ability, and he should be careful in everything.

After Wang Lu activated the ability, Chen Qiong immediately sensed it, she glanced at Wang Lu in surprise, and Wang Lu nodded silently at her. Chen Qiong pursed her lips - Dad's mood is not as bloodthirsty and disgusting as that of zombies, and he has not been negatively affected. In my mind, it's like watching TV with a picture-in-picture function turned on, and there is an extra perspective, which is quite fun.

After groping around, he made new discoveries, and Wang Decheng found a camp that was obviously camped.

It was a slightly flat slope, and the snow on the ground had been roughly cleared and piled up on all sides, revealing a patch of dead grass underneath.

And in the center of the camp, there is a fire.

A fire that burns and only charcoal remains.

Xie Ling stretched out her hand and touched a dead branch that had been burned into charcoal, cold and without heat.

Everyone's faces were a little ugly.

Xie Ling gasped: "Hell, these zombies are warming up by the fire!" This must have been taught to them by the Wise Corpse! ā€

As long as there is enough external temperature, the frozen zombies can also move, Wang Lu roasted the frozen female zombies with fire, which has proved this, lighting a fire to keep warm is the simplest and easiest way.

In this mountain forest, dry wood is readily available, and zombies can even take off their clothes to light a fire, as long as they survive this extremely cold weather, they are bloodthirsty devils.

Wang Lu picked up a firewood branch, tightened his fists, and squeezed it into two parts: "To catch up with them, you must find that smart corpse, and you must not let it teach more zombies how to take fire and avoid cold!" ā€

The route for the zombies to leave was quickly found, and the footprints of many zombies in the snow were the best guides.

Wang Lu tried to call the walkie-talkie a few more times, but there was still no response, but Wang Lu was not worried. Judging from the size of the zombie camping area, there are about 20 zombies in this group, although the number of people in his party is small, but they are all armed to the teeth, and they have their own abilities, but they are not afraid of them.

Wang Lu patted Chen Qiong's shoulder: "Take a good rest, prepare for battle, we don't need your abilities for the time being, we just need to follow the footprints, we can catch up with them sooner or later." Even if zombies can roast the fire, they can only relieve the low temperature for a short time, and once they walk in the mountains, they will only get colder and colder, stiffer and slower they walk. ā€

Chen Qiong said strangely: "But Dad, I'm sweating all over, and my underwear is a little tizzy." ā€

Wang Lu smiled: "Silly boy, the physiological system of zombies has completely failed, and I doubt that their hearts can still carry blood to various parts of the body to maintain temperature. He paused: "By the way, this reminds me - everyone pay attention to the smoke in the air, I suspect that after the zombies have been traveling for a while, they will have to warm themselves by a fire." ā€

Everyone agreed, and continued to follow the footprints, along the way, they found broken shoes, clothing fragments and other objects, and they all fell on the snow, and everyone was more and more sure that the direction of tracking was correct, if it was not for the difficulty of the mountain road, they would have been in a hurry to chase after it.

After another moment, Wang Lu, who was carrying him, suddenly stopped, and Wang Decheng, who was following closely, almost hit his back, and Wang Decheng tightened the axe in his hand: "Captain Wang, have you found zombies?" ā€

Wang Lu shook his head, pointed to the snow and said, "What do you think this is?" ā€

Everyone looked down and saw that the footprints on the snow had split several times and led to different directions in the forest.

Xie Ling said: "What? Do zombies do any tricks to divide their troops? Is it the Wise Corpse who found out that we are tracking? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
