Chapter 202: All or Nothing, the Whole Family Mobilizes

Xie Ling looked at the English textbooks on the shelves, and her heart moved, and she walked to the desk and opened the drawers one by one.

Wang Lu hurriedly went downstairs and urged: "Let's go, how can there be a horn in the room of such a little child?" ”

Xie Ling didn't bother to take care of Wang Lu, and after a while, she cheered: "Found it." With a hand, Wang Lu saw that she was holding a repeater in her hand.

That's right. English repeater. There were also a lot of tapes.

Xie Ling said proudly: "I guessed that if today's children want to learn English, they must also listen to English tapes, and I really found them." ”

Wang Lu was also very happy, but he was a little dissatisfied, took the repeater in his hand and looked at it over and over again, and said regretfully: "It's just too small, and the voice is not loud enough." ”

Xie Ling understood what Wang Lu meant, this repeater is used by children to practice their listening in the room, and the volume is naturally not too loud, and when it is taken to Houlong Village and played in the wild, it is really unknown how many zombies can be attracted by that bit of movement.

"Let's take it first." Wang Lu said: "Let's look for it again." ”

There's a lot of work to do, but there's not much time left for the two of them.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling both realized that with the gradual awakening of zombies' instincts such as cooperation and avoiding light, zombies will become more and more difficult to fight in the future, and the difficulty of collecting materials will increase greatly, so they took advantage of today's rare opportunity to try to carry all the materials that can be carried from the store.

According to the old rules, everything was moved to the building that the two of them broke into, and it became another backup warehouse.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as the sunshine weakened and the temperature dropped, the zombies on the street gradually increased again, and a zombie had already staggered to the originally cleaned up section of the street, fortunately Wang Lu and Xie Ling were quick to kill it before it roared to attract more zombies.

"Let's go." Xie Ling panted and said, it is killing zombies and moving a big house, and she has to beware of zombies that will come out of nowhere, she is tired. I'll have to climb the roof for half a day to get back to Yashan safely.

Wang Lu was a little unwilling, there were still three buildings that had not been searched, he stared at one of the small buildings, and pointed with his hand: "Let's go to this house to have a look, and if we can't find the horn, we will go home." ”

Xie Ling's eyes widened: "Brother, are you mistaken, this house is old, it is all made of wood, it is a ramen shop, have you ever seen a ramen shop with an electric horn?" ”。

Wang Lu stubbornly said: "Let's go and take a look." ”

Xie Ling had no choice but to accompany Wang Lu to rush into the ramen shop, the store is very small, the structure is also simple, a stove room, there are noodle soup buckets on the stove, next to a few tables, and there is no place to hide zombies.

There was nothing downstairs, and the two went up the narrow stairs to the second floor, the second floor is the living room, a very simple bed, table and chair, and even the wardrobe is a simple wardrobe with plastic skin, it seems that the person who opened this store is a foreigner. It's not surprising that most of the ramen shops are run by outsiders.

The clothes and other things in the room were thrown to the ground, and it seemed that the master had left in a hurry, and the drawers of the table were open and not closed.

Xie Ling hurriedly glanced at it, there was a small TV and a small fan at the head of the bed, and she didn't see any other electrical appliances.

Just as he was about to beckon Wang Lu to go quickly, Wang Lu, who was rummaging a pile of clothes in the corner, suddenly shouted: "Found it"

As he spoke, he turned around and raised his hand at Xie Ling: "Look, what is this?" ”

Xie Ling saw at a glance that Wang Lu was holding a tape recorder - a four-speaker tape recorder.

An hour later, Cliff Mountain.

The four of them looked curiously at the tape recorder on their desks.

Wang Bian had never seen a tape recorder, and when he was born, it was already the MP3 era, and one of Wang Lu's Sony Walkmans was still regarded as an antique by him.

Wang Bi'an stretched out his hand and pressed the buttons on the tape recorder indiscriminately, Wang Lu fiddled with him, but there was no electricity anyway, so it couldn't be broken.

With a click, the tape compartment was opened by Wang Bi'an, and there was still a tape in the warehouse.

Chen Wei took it out curiously and looked at it, the cover on the tape was torn off, and she couldn't tell what the tape was.

Xie Ling had also seen a tape recorder, tried to fiddle with it, and found that the left and right speakers could still be removed from the middle base, and two independent speaker cables were connected to the jack behind the base: "I can't see it, it's quite advanced." Stereo sound. ”

Wang Bi'an counted, and there were 6 large and small speaker holes on the speaker: "Dad, it's amazing, six channels, one more than our original Yamaha five-channel speaker." ”…,

Wang Lu couldn't cry or laugh: "What six channels, just one stereo." This thing was popular in the late 80s and early 90s, and there were people in Yonggang City who carried this thing on the back seat of their bicycles and played earth-shattering rock music through the streets. ”

Chen Wei said: "This thing has been around for many years, and there is a similar one in my rural hometown, my parents are reluctant to throw it away, and they have been putting it on the top of the cabinet to be dusted." Wang Lu, you are really rare, you actually found such an old antique. Good luck. ”

Wang Lu's nostrils turned to the sky: "This is not good luck. I saw that the ramen shop was intentional. The people who open ramen shops are all outsiders, with small capital, thin profits, and not living in a foreign land for a long time, so they are definitely not willing to spend money to buy any new household appliances, either from the hands of the tattered king who has passed through a few hands, or pick up old antiques that people throw away from them. It's really hard to find this tape recorder or something, but it's much more likely to be owned by locals in the place where they live. ”

Xie Ling couldn't see Wang Lu's arrogant appearance the most, and snorted: "I don't know if this old guy can turn around." As she spoke, she picked up the electric plug-in cable dragged behind the tape recorder: "Besides, you can't use it without electricity." ”

Wang Luyang laughed three times: "Young people don't know enough, this old-fashioned tape recorder can also be put on batteries." As he spoke, he fiddled with the back of the chassis a few times and opened a lid to reveal the battery compartment.

Six No. 1 batteries were crammed in, and the tape recorder suddenly became heavy.

Chen Wei was just about to put the tape she took out, only to find that the tape had been curled and knotted after a long time, and she had to sort it out.

Xie Ling said: "Try this box." As she spoke, she stuffed a roll of English tapes, and she took the repeater up the hill as well.

Wang Lu stuffed into the tape. Press the playback key.

Amid the sound of the tape spinning, a hoarse voice came from the six horns - all in the language of broken birds.

Wang Lu tried to spin the volume dial at the top of the pedestal, and the sound in the speaker became louder, and Wang Bi'an covered his ears, but the noise became correspondingly louder.

Wang Lu is reluctant to electricity, these six No. 1 batteries are the only ones left, now residents rarely see such large batteries in their homes, all of them are No. 5 and No. 7, these six No. 1 batteries are still from the Houlong Village Security Office to find the large flashlight and the original collection on the cliff mountain, it is not easy to get together, there are already several batteries in the flashlight are out of power, that is, there is electricity left, it is estimated that the power is not much, but it can not stand the waste anymore.

Wang Lu turned off the tape recorder: "I'll clean up the magnetic head again, and the sound can be louder." ”

As he spoke, he went to dig out the alcohol, the cotton swab was stained, and he poked into the tape compartment to carefully clean the magnetic head inside, and sure enough, the magnetic head was stained with yellow and black magnetic powder, and wiped a lot of it.

Wang Lu did a lot of work for his parents when he was in junior high school, and now he is back to his old skills, but he is not unfamiliar. Wang Bian saw it with taste, and pestered Wang Lu to let him try it too.

This is not a high-tech job, seeing that Wang Bi'an is enthusiastic, Wang Lu handed him the cotton swab, and pointed out on the side: "The action is lighter, and the roller next to the magnetic head should also be cleaned up with a cotton swab, and there are a lot of magnetic particles stuck on it." Alas, I really don't want to use dry batteries, otherwise, press the play button, the head sticks out, and the roller will automatically rotate. In the past, video stores used to sell special tapes for cleaning heads and rollers. ”

Chen Wei looked at Wang Lu Xingxing's head as if he was teaching some secret book for passing on men and not women, and taught Wang Bi'an to clean up the antique tape recorder in a serious way, and said to Xie Ling, who was yawning: "If you're tired, go to bed early, we all have to be busy tomorrow." ”

Xie Ling stretched: "Yes, but the thought of being able to use electricity tomorrow night is worth it no matter how tired you are." ”

Early in the morning, there was fog.

Mist permeated the fields, in the forests, in the streams, and on the streams.

In the stream behind Houlong Village, there was a gentle sound of flowing water, and in the fog, it was impossible to see clearly 10 steps away.

But for it, it doesn't matter if it can see it or not, it can smell it.

It's a zombie.

This zombie is one of the ones that Xie Ling used to use the toy car yin* into the stream.

A total of 5 zombies fell into the stream, two of them broke their legs, and their mobility was greatly weakened, and they could only crawl in a small area. …,

The other 3 zombies were moving as usual, but the boiling water made them feel very uncomfortable.

The water is shallow, and it reaches the knee bend.

But zombies don't like it, they seem to instinctively hate water.

The zombies walked back and forth in the stream, trying to get back to the surface, but their poor sense of orientation really just kept them spinning around in the stream.

They were irritated by the constant sound of running water, and today's fog greatly affected their sense of smell and hearing.

So, now this zombie is basically like a headless fly, its forehead and arms are full of scars left by the impact and scratches on the stones.

Suddenly, the headless fly zombie stood still, its nose twitching, and in front of it, in the mist, came the scent that excited it. The smell of the living.

It roared, echoed by the roars of the other two zombies.

Soon, the other two zombies that could still move rushed over, in fact, the two disabled zombies who broke their legs were also crawling here, but their speed was too slow to participate in this hunt.

The three zombies squeezed into the stream and ran in the direction where the smell came from, the stream was narrow, and the three zombies were rubbing one after another. The bottom of the stream is mostly rocky, and they don't run fast.

But the smell of the living is getting closer and closer, in fact, if the zombie could analyze it, it will find that the smell of the living is also actively approaching them.

Soon, in addition to the smell, there was something in the mist that guided the zombies - the sound of rushing water.

The zombies swooped down into the fog.

In the fog, there was a sudden interruption: "Release"

The zombie who rushed to the front suddenly noticed a strange thing coming out of the fog, it was standing high in the fog, like a wall, and now the wall was falling towards him, and the other two zombies who were following him.

The wall, falling on the three zombies, softened, and then, at once, entangled them.

It's not a wall, it's a fishing net.

The two sides of the fishing net are supported by two long bamboo poles, and they move forward side by side along both sides of the stream, and when they encounter zombies, they cover them like a net.

"Kill." A shout came out of the fog, Wang Lu rushed over with a fire axe, and it was Xie Ling who also stumbled over in the stream on the other side.

The mossy rocks at the bottom of the stream were already slippery, and they were wrapped in nets, and the three zombies didn't even have the strength to fight back, and they were chopped by Wang Lu and Xie Ling like chopping melons and vegetables across the net.

It wasn't until there was no movement under the net that Wang Lu stopped and stabbed the pile of zombie meat with an axe: "It seems that there are only 3." I remember five of them fell into the stream. ”

Xie Ling gasped slightly: "I probably broke my leg and drowned, right?" Quite a few words"

"Can zombies drown in water?". Wang Lu shook his head: "Although I have never seen a zombie that can swim, I have never seen a zombie drowned in the water. Besides, this stream is so shallow, even cats and dogs can't drown. ”

Xie Ling said: "Let's go over and see if it's over." ”

Wang Lu spent a lot of effort to free the net from the zombies, Xie Ling was on guard beside him, this fog affected the zombies, and it was also not good for the two of them, the line of sight could only be seen 10 steps away, if the zombies suddenly pounced, they were really caught off guard.

Wang Lubian untied the net and muttered in pain: "Hell, I have broken a few big holes, and I can't use it anymore." ”

Xie Ling turned his head to look, and sure enough, when he slashed and killed the zombies under the net just now, the knife and axe also fell on the net, although the fishing net was so strong that the zombies couldn't tear it, but it couldn't help the knife and axe, and there were several big holes in it.

Although Wang Lu shouted that the net could not be used, he was reluctant to throw it away, but he still supported Xie Ling with bamboo poles at both ends, and continued to search for the remaining two zombies along the stream.

The two zombies were soon found, and they broke their legs not far from where they fell, and then it was simple, breaking the fishing net and splitting the corpses.

Okay, finally the stream has been cleared.

Wang Lu didn't bother to pack up the fishing nets anymore, and the few big holes on it were enough for adults to drill in and out, and they couldn't be repaired.

He greeted Xie Ling and returned the same way.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling flowed all the way down the stream, and the water gradually deepened.

Suddenly, a shout came from the fog and asked, "Who?" ”

Wang Lu hurriedly said, "I, it's me." ”…,

After walking a few steps quickly, a small wooden boat was revealed in the fog in front of him, and it was Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an sitting on the boat.

Chen Wei stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Lu and Xie Ling onto the boat.

The place where the four of them parked the boat now was one of the three tributaries that Wang Lu and Xie Ling encountered when they were looking for ducks. As Wang Lu guessed, the stream in Houlong Village twists and turns all the way to the Yinjiang River.

"How?" Chen Wei asked eagerly?

Wang Lu nodded: "That's right, this tributary leads to Houlong Village, Xie Ling and I have already found those zombies and killed them all, everything is safe ahead." ”

Wang Bi'an was eager to try beside him: "Dad, can my mother and I go?" ”。

Today, Yashan is all out of the house.

This is a well-planned super operation, Wang Lu has used every force that Yashan has, and if he is fighting interstellar, he has basically transferred all the mining soldiers to the worm nest.

Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an wanted to go to the broken bridge and use tape recorders and other equipment to attract all the zombies wandering outside the village.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling went to the bridge where they first landed, and after the zombies were lured away, they moved the solar power system on the pickup truck to the bamboo raft as quickly as possible. The bamboo raft is too wide, and there is only one port that is convenient for docking and carrying goods.

Wang Lu was a little nervous, this was different from him taking Wang Bi'an down the mountain to practice, everything in the future was unknown and full of risks. He wasn't sure what Chen Wei and Wang Bian would encounter.

He coughed and cleared his throat: "I repeat, wait until 12 o'clock at noon when the sun is at its strongest, when most zombies should hide in the house and avoid the light." Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an, you must hide on the side of the stone bridge near the farmland, the zombies can't attack you through the gap in the stone bridge, it's really dangerous, just run to the farmland, and run along the stream to the Yinjiang River. ”

Wang Lu took over a plastic bag and handed it to Chen Wei: "There are two two kicks and a big firework in it, before the action starts, put a second kick, after the action, put another two kicks, if there is danger, set off fireworks to warn, this fireworks are ringing, Xie Ling and I will hear it, and we will come to save you." In the same way, I also brought the same two kicks and fireworks, which will echo you at the other end of the village. ”

These fireworks were found by Wang Lu from a white shop, and it is summer, and they are not sold in grocery stores, and only people who want to do white things (funerals) will buy them. Let's hope these fireworks don't get wet. Electricity, electricity, without electricity, a lot of walkie-talkies at hand are useless. We can only connect with each other in such a crude way.

Chen Wei took the plastic bag: "Don't worry, Wang Bi'an and I will pay attention to safety, and if something is wrong, we will escape." ”

Wang Lu and Xie Ling handed the woodcutter to Chen Wei, originally Wang Lu wanted to give the fire axe, but Chen Wei pushed it - she couldn't move at all.

Wang Lu and Xie Ling changed into bamboo rafts and watched Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an row the boat towards the stream of the tributary.

It wasn't until the boat disappeared into the fog that Wang Lu supported the raft with a bamboo pole and headed for the center of Houlong Village.

Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an's boats rowed for a while, and they were left at the bottom because the stream was too shallow.

Chen Wei jumped out of the boat, stood in the water and pressed the cable of the boat under a large rock, and reached out to take Wang Bi'an.

Wang Bi'an was carrying a plastic bag containing fireworks and firecrackers, Chen Wei was chopping wood in one hand and a backpack with a tape recorder in the other, wading into the water and ......moving forward.
