Chapter 41: Yao Mei's Progress
"I mean, they're pretty punctual! How do you say this old saying? Sunrise and sunset? Xu Si crouched in the armored car, peeking at the zombies outside the car and said to Cheng Sen beside him. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, those zombies poured into the houses around the street as if they were returning home from work. Soon, the street returned to its previous empty state, as if these zombies had never appeared!
"Wait and see, if there are no accidents, tomorrow we will rest during the day, and we will leave here at night." Cheng Sen whispered to Xu Si, but in his mind he was thinking about the climbers he saw during the day. Zombies will evolve, it's almost certain now. But Cheng Sen didn't expect these zombies to evolve so quickly. How long has it been? There are those who can run, and there are those who can climb, and God knows if there will be other more powerful "corpses" among the zombies after a while?
Nestled in the car, I observed for another half an hour. It didn't seem to be anything unusual outside the car, but as night fell, it was dark and nothing could be seen. Just listening with his ears, Cheng Sen really didn't dare to guarantee that those zombies were hiding in the shadows and ready to sneak attack at any time.
"Why don't we turn on the headlights?" Xu Si loaded the bullet and suggested to Cheng Sen.
"No, who knows where those things are hiding. If you turn on the lights and lure them all out, it will be worth the cost. Cheng Sen raised his gun and looked around through the low-light scope above. But there was no light source outside, and the low-light sight didn't do much. Looking at the sky, the faint moonlight was completely obscured by a thick layer of pollution. Cheng Sen's plan to observe the environment by moonlight was also shattered!
"There is~ Waiting!" Xu Si's eyes rolled, and he suddenly got up and flipped from the co-pilot's position to the back seat. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pushed the sunroof on the roof of the car open, and poked his head out lightly. After taking a few breaths of relatively "fresh" air, he reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a few glow sticks. Fold the glow sticks back and forth a few times, and Xu Si threw them out in all directions.
"How? Can you see clearly? After throwing the glow stick out, Xu Si quickly retracted his body, locked the lid of the skylight tightly, and asked Cheng Sen softly!
"It's OK, it's safe! Let's withdraw! Cheng Sen took advantage of the light emitted by those glow sticks and quickly checked the surrounding environment clearly through the scope. After putting down the 95 assault rifle, he turned the key to set the armored car on fire and said to Xu Si.
It wasn't until the armored car slowly withdrew from the center where the corpses gathered just now that Cheng Sen turned on the headlights and stepped on the accelerator, driving the vehicle towards the suburban station. Now that the situation in the city has been figured out, he is now beginning to worry about the safety of Wu Gun and Yao Mei.
"Old gun, old gun, how's it going?" The armored car left the city and drove on the cement road in the suburbs, and Cheng Sen picked up the walkie-talkie to ask about Wu Gun's situation.
"Safety, how are you doing?" Wu Gun's somewhat tired voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"The basic situation is almost touched, come back and say!" Cheng Sen learned that Wu Gun and Yao Mei were safe, and his heart was also a lot more relaxed. After speaking, he put down the walkie-talkie, stepped on the accelerator and drove the armored car quickly in the direction of the barracks.
"Where's Sister Yao?" drove the car into the courtyard of the barracks, and for the first time, I didn't hear Yao Mei's voice. Cheng Sen got out of the car and asked while pushing the side-sliding iron door with Wu Gun!
"Her shoulder was swollen, so I told her to lie down and rest." Wu Gun said with a wry smile.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Sen asked.
"I was shocked by the recoil of the gun, and I should be fine when I rest!" Wu Gun shook his right shoulder as he spoke, and said!
"It's hard enough for her, I think when I was a soldier, I haven't fired a total of 20 bullets in three years. If it hadn't been turned into a volunteer later, it would have been like that! Sister Yao, I'm afraid I can't shoot less than 200 bullets today, right? Cheng Sen leaned against the iron door, took out three cigarettes from his pocket, took one in his mouth, and sent another one to Wu Gun and Xu Si and said!
"Three hundred rounds, ten magazines emptied! There were no less than two hundred zombies that fell under Yao Mei's gun. Little girl now, she has a very military taste, don't you see, the marksmanship is called a quasi! It's a pity not to be a soldier! Wu Gun mentioned Yao Mei, and his eyes were shining. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he said there without hesitation of praise!
"Okay~ We have one more combat power in the future, which is a good thing! You take the time to teach others more, and don't let the girl's family come to you for everything. If we brought Yao Mei to maturity earlier, our burden can be shared by many people, right? Cheng Sen heard Wu Gun praise Yao Mei so much, and said happily at the moment.
"Let her rest for two days, and then talk about it when her shoulders are better!" Wu Gun turned his head to look at Yao Mei's bedroom, and said softly to Cheng Sen.
"I'm afraid I can't rest. Let's go, go in and say. Cheng Sen shook his head and beckoned Xu Si and Wu Gun to walk in the direction of the bedroom!
After entering the dormitory, Cheng Sen took out a lighter to light half of the pagoda candle on the table, and motioned for Xu Si to sit down and talk!
"This, Nima, isn't this the candle that people use to go to their graves?" Xu Si came to the candle with a cigarette in his mouth and borrowed a fire, and then said to Cheng Sen as if he remembered something! In his impression, this kind of candle is the most sold around the Qingming Festival every year.
"You're pretty particular, it's nice to have this illumination." Cheng Sen said with a smile.
"Straight down, after a few days of observation. The zombies return to their respective gathering places at night and wait until daytime to come out. Moreover, zombies that can climb were also found today. Although they are not many in number, they are not agile enough. However, does this mean that some of them have begun to evolve to more advanced corpse species? According to this trend, we will not only face the walking corpses in the future. There are also zombies that can run, jump, and even have high combat effectiveness! After Cheng Sen finished speaking, his hands were clasped together, and his thumbs circled back and forth. His face looked a little cloudy in the candlelight.
"Looks like we're going to have to leave! Ahead of the zombies to evolve more advanced and powerful. We're going to have to find a place that's relatively easy to defend, first to make sure we're all alive, and then to find survivors who can be of use to me! Xu Si said what was in his heart.
"For my use? Xu Si was not wrong in saying this. Wu Gun pressed the cigarette butt in his hand on the table, and agreed with Xu Si's statement in his mouth!
