Chapter 553: The Barbecue Conference in the Valley
Wang Lu shook his head and said categorically: "Nonsense! Even if the smart corpse finds us, he will only command all the zombies to rush up and fight us to the death, instead of playing some trick of dividing the troops, you think they are the Guerrillas of Siming Mountain. Zombies are not stupid, they will only keep sniping at us with zombies in order to get themselves away from us, so as to buy time for them to escape. You must know that once the zombies leave the 100-meter range of the zombies, they will immediately lose control, not only will they not serve the purpose of luring us to divide our troops, but it will also make it easier for us to slaughter them. ”
Xie Ling bent down and looked back and forth several times at the footprints on the fork in the road: "Brother, you are right, this is not a division of troops at all, on the contrary, it is the wisdom corpse that is summoning the gathering of zombies - everyone see, there are obviously fewer footprints on this fork in the road, but when it comes to this main road, there are more and more footprints, if it is a division of troops, the footprints on the main road should gradually decrease." ”
Wang Lu's face was heavy: "This is obviously the Zhi Corpse all the way to summon the zombies who have not been completely frozen, it knows that the fire is warm, and as soon as those zombies come to its hands, they can recover their mobility to some extent." ”
Wang Decheng and the others were also aware of the crisis, and the zombies who had recovered their ability to move were not something that their small team of less than ten people could easily deal with, and he swallowed his saliva: "Captain Wang, what should I do?" Do you want to call for support? If the walkie-talkie can't be called, then send someone to call it. ”
Wang Lu shook his head: "This time is too late. He glanced at Wang Decheng: "What?" Scared? ”
Wang Decheng smiled: "How can it." Brother Wang, you have special abilities, what are we afraid of? ”
Wang Lu patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, these zombies are only known to be roasted and thawed by the command of that smart corpse, as long as you find the leading smart corpse and destroy one, no matter how many zombies will turn into popsicles again." ”
This is a simple and clear truth, Wang Decheng and the others relaxed again, and at this moment, Wang Bi'an suddenly pointed to the air: "Dad!" Look! There is smoke! ”
Where there is smoke, there is fire. In the deep mountains, who else will there be besides the intelligent corpses and zombies roasting the fire?
Wang Lu's spirits lifted: "Go!" The number of zombies caught this time will not be small. That smart corpse can save us a lot of trouble in finding zombies, just in one pot. ”
Everyone was not in a hurry at this time, anyway, the zombies were camping in front of them, and they couldn't escape anywhere, so everyone packed up their equipment and put their weapons in the most convenient place. I took out the compressed biscuits and ate them - killing zombies, but it was also physical work.
Wang Lu swallowed the dry compressed biscuits, took a small sip of the cold water in the thermos pot, and said to everyone: "After finding the zombie camp, I will go first to find the smart corpse and kill it." You don't have to rush into the camp to kill zombies, you don't have the command of smart corpses. Zombies will gradually lose their ability to move in the low temperature, and when they freeze again, it will be too late for you to rush in and kill them. ”
He turned his head to Wang Bian and Chen Qiong and said, "Wang Bian, you help your sister walk at the end, there are too many zombies here." And they are all active and conscious, Chen Qiong can't stand the impact of so many brain waves. The next action, the two of you are waiting on the periphery, Wang Bi'an, your only task is to protect your sister. ”
Wang Bi'an and Chen Qiong both know that this is not the time for them to do their best. The two nodded emphatically.
As the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and although he saw the smoke of the zombie camp, Wang Lu and his party still trekked for nearly an hour before they really touched the periphery of the camp.
Wang Lu held his own ability and walked alone in front of the team dozens of meters, and when he crossed a small mountain pass, he suddenly stopped. Then he turned and waved to the group.
Xie Ling, Wang Decheng and others immediately understood that the main owner had appeared! …,
Xie Ling immediately stopped, Wang Decheng also looked nervous, and he said in a low voice: "The number of zombies in this camp will not be small. ”
This is at all, everyone has long found that the closer they are to the camp, the more zombie footprints on the mountain, and in some places the thick snow has been trampled to expose the mud below, and there are more than one or two wisps of green smoke to see, not to mention more than 10.
Xie Ling said calmly: "Don't panic, be vigilant, be careful that there is a new zombie team coming, waiting for my brother's signal." ”
Wang Bian pulled Chen Qiong back a few more steps, so as not to accidentally be injured by the brainwaves of a large number of zombies in the camp. {}
At the same moment, Wang Lu, who was standing at the mountain pass, cursed viciously: "Fucking bastard smart corpse!" ”
This smart corpse really made a lot of noise.
I saw that in the valley below, thousands of zombies had gathered in the black pressure, and more than 10 half-human-high fires were burning in circles of different sizes surrounded by zombies, and zombies were constantly dragging dead branches and leaves from the surrounding woods and throwing them on the fire.
In addition to the fire, the zombies also have other "warmth measures", some zombies find straw, plastic film and other things from nowhere, and wrap them around their bodies indiscriminately, and the lucky zombies have a few thick clothes, but they don't know how to wear them, and they use strips of cloth or something to tie and wrap them horizontally and vertically, although they look worse than asking for food, but they can indeed play a role in keeping warm from the cold.
Wang Lu was frightened for a while and rejoiced, fortunately he accidentally found this smart corpse that taught zombies to roast fire, otherwise, let it continue to teach more zombies how to keep out the cold, Yashan wants to use winter to kill "zombies" in the future It is a fool's dream.
Wang Lu did not hesitate any longer, and strode into the valley.
The zombies gathered around the fire like fleeing refugees, and some zombies were too close to the fire, and they didn't even know that their clothes were on fire, but fortunately, the clothes on their bodies were already in tatters, even if they were burned out, they couldn't hurt the zombies themselves.
Wang Lu found that the closer he got to the fire, the faster the zombies' mobility recovered, and some of the zombies twisted their necks flexibly, don't look over their heads to stare at themselves walking through the camp, and their movements were not at all noticeably sluggish. There are also zombies who don't know what small animals have caught, and they are huddled together and swallowed bloodily.
can hunt animals, proving that some zombies can move as usual with the help of roasting fires.
Wang Lu struggled to drill in and out of the campfire. Identifying the corpse, he suddenly noticed a figure facing away from him in front of him and his back to him, wearing a down jacket that was a little dirty but not much damaged. Wang Lu grinned, except for the Zhi corpse, who else was dressed so neatly and cleanly.
He crept up, stood behind the background of the corpse down jacket, and slashed down with an axe.
The corpse immediately fell to the ground, and the zombies around witnessed the murder, but were indifferent.
Killed the wise corpse so easily. Wang Lu was very happy, he was just about to turn around and leave, when he was suddenly stunned, he saw that the hem of the down jacket was revealing two bare legs, he squatted down and turned the smart corpse over with great effort -, this is not a smart corpse, it's a zombie!
The zombie was naked. It's just a new down jacket on the outside.
Wang Lu uttered a foul language in frustration and continued to wander around looking for the corpse.
Thousands of zombies can crowd a standard sports field, Wang Lu wants to find a smart corpse that can only be recognized by his clothes, and in the next half an hour, Wang Lu killed a few "smart corpses" dressed "neatly". But it turned out later that they were just zombies with a new coat.
What the hell, could it be that the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Celestial Empire just came here to offer condolences? Temporary new clothes for these homeless people?
I don't know where these zombies found these half-new clothes. …,
Wang Lu was suddenly stunned - damn it, something was wrong. These zombies' new clothes are not put on by themselves, and even if the zombies get the clothes, they will be wrapped in a mess at most, how can they be dressed so neatly - this is obviously the smart corpse helped them put on.
Wang Lu became more and more eager to find the smart corpse, who would have thought about it, because there were not a few zombies in the camp who were dressed in new clothes. He killed about 20 of them, but still didn't find the intelligent corpse.
Wang Lu was a little angry, damn, running around, everyone was sweating hot.
He was suddenly stunned, the heat - how could he feel the heat - obviously he was in a state of ability, he shouldn't have felt it.
Oh no, the ability doesn't work!
Almost at the same time. The zombies around Wang Lu were in a commotion, and they all turned around and roared at Wang Lu, who immediately took off his helmet and punched his head again - the ability took effect again.
Wang Lu sweated through his heavy clothes.
Oops, it took too long, and if you still can't find the corpse, Wang Lu can't guarantee that the ability will work again under the stimulus next time.
Wang Lu anxiously looked at the zombie heads around him, calm and calm, there must be something different from zombies in the smart corpse, where will it be? Will it be on the fire? No, if you're wearing enough clothing, you don't necessarily need a fire to keep moving. Is the smart corpse hiding? It's not right, it won't hide, because the smart corpse doesn't know that Wang Lu is leading the team to track, so it doesn't need to hide at all.
Think again, think again.
At this time, a small group of zombies came out of the nearby mountain forest, holding some firewood in their hands. After they squeezed into the fire, they threw the firewood in their hands onto the bonfire, and their movements were so rough that the excessive and damp firewood suddenly pressed on the fire, and the fire was darkened, and a large puff of smoke came out.
Although Wang Lu was wearing a helmet, he still subconsciously took a few steps back in the face of the thick smoke.
He crashed into a zombie holding a piece of freshly chopped wood in the back.
Wang Lu's eyes suddenly lit up - this piece of wood was cut down.
Those who were cut down with sharp weapons, and there was still white stubble on the section of the wood.
The wise corpse is in the mountain forest, instructing the zombies to chop firewood.
Wang Lu stomped his feet, damn it, why is Lao Tzu so stupid.
Without saying a word, Wang Lu felt into the mountains and forests around the camp, and even took the risk of taking off his helmet to listen to the sound of logging.
There was really a sound of logging, Wang Lu felt to the place where the sound came from, and soon found a group of zombie "lumberjacks", who were either armed with axes, or kitchen knives, and even some were just holding a knife and were chopping wood. And in the middle is a big man wearing a common construction site camouflage uniform.
It's a smart corpse.
He was rolling up his sleeves and cutting a tree with the machete in his hand, and he was shouting: "Look carefully, you have to use a blade to cut a tree, a blade!" You can't cut down a tree with the back of a knife! You idiots, how many times do you have to say it before you remember? ”
Wang Lu, who was striding forward, suddenly stopped--I damn it, what a man, a head taller than himself. Moreover, just from the words I just heard, it shows that this smart corpse is very smart and smart. Such a smart corpse would never stand still in the face of his own axe that had been slashed in the past and would not fight back.
What to do?
Wang Lu hesitated.
He has killed a lot of intelligent corpses. Xi Jiachao is also very strong and smart, fortunately, Feng Haiqi is there, so he cleaned him up, but if he wants to be alone against this strong smart corpse, Wang Lu doesn't think he has much chance of winning.
If only there was a gun.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Good fellow, a messenger, actually let me see a messenger." Dude, how did you get here? I haven't seen any other messengers in this area since the beginning of winter. I know. You must have heard that call to help the voters escape. ”…,
Wang Lu was stunned, what is the call, at this time, the wise corpse had already put down the axe in his hand and walked over to Wang Lu: "My name is Wang Da, what is your surname?" ”
Wang Lu blurted out: "My name is Wang Lu." "Anyway, this smart corpse has never seen him, and it doesn't matter if he has a real name.
However, Wang Dazhi's reaction made him stunned. Wang Da shook his hand vigorously: "Wang Lu? Are you the prophet Wang Lu? I've heard many messengers spread your sacrament doctrine and worship you so much. ”
Wang Lu is confused, what "prophet"? What "Holy Communion"? Hell--is there really a thing in the corpse of Zhi that is also named "Wang Lu". Wang Lu responded vaguely, Wang Dazhi picked up the axe, turned his head and ordered the zombies: "Continue to cut down trees, don't stop." Then he said to Wang Lu: "Let's go." We sat down and talked. Hell, since I entered the mountain, I haven't met a smart corpse who can speak normally, and I'm going crazy every day in front of these idiots of the electorate. ”
Wang Lu followed behind Wang Dazhi's corpse. Fearfully, he returned to a campfire in the valley camp, saying that he was not afraid, it was false, Wang Lu did not know when his ability would fail, and once it was exposed, Wang Dazhi's corpse could split himself alive with his hands. But now I want to turn around and run away. It's too late.
Stabilization! Stabilization!
Wang Lu tried his best to cheer himself up, Wang Da is just a smart corpse, you are human, you are smarter than him, you will definitely find an opportunity to sneak attack him.
There was a bulging mountaineering travel bag next to the campfire, Wang Da bent down and dug in it for a while, took out a pack of cigarettes, and opened it. Throw one to the king's road.
Wang Lu pinched the cigarette and looked at it, soft-shell China, good smoke, he shook his head: "I don't smoke." ”
Wang Da found a stone and sat down: "I can't smoke it either, but I miss the smell of smoke before." As he spoke, he lit one and took a long breath.
Wang Lu also found a stone and sat down, he decided that he must take the initiative to start a topic, otherwise, if this Wang Da asked himself about what "Prophet Wang Lu" was, he would soon be exposed.
Wang Lu preemptively asked, "Wang Da, how long have you been here?" ”
Wang Da shrugged his shoulders: "Are you asking when I was still an old human, or when I was an emissary?" ”
Wang Lu stabilized his heart and said vaguely: "Let's start from the beginning." ”
Wang Da picked up a branch, stabbed the fire, and casually pushed away a zombie that was too close to him: "I didn't have much to say when I was an old human, just a physical education teacher, the district education bureau just talked to me, and wanted me to be the vice principal of a new elementary school, which is located in a high-end residence, and it seems that there will be unlimited money in the future." Then, I took my girlfriend on a road trip to Siming Mountain during the summer vacation, and then - everyone is the same anyway. The biochemical apocalypse broke out, and I took my girlfriend to escape the attack of tourists who turned into zombies and hid in Siming Mountain. My girlfriend also likes to travel outdoors and has a lot of gear in the car, so the two of us survived. ”
Very old-fashioned survivor story, Wang Lu nodded: "You guys are lucky." ”
Wang Dadao: "It's a pity that I didn't survive the attack of the second wave of biochemical viruses and became a smart corpse--, no, it's a messenger." ”
He raised his head and said to Wang Lu: "My girlfriend is my sacrament, and I only fully awakened after eating her blood. This is exactly the same as the sacrament awakening theory you are promoting. ”
-- Originally, what bullshit sacrament was to eat alive.
Wang Lu was very glad that he was now in a state of ability, his face was expressionless, and he nodded: "So, your girlfriend has been eaten by you?" ”
Wang Da shook his head: "No, I didn't eat her." ”
"When I was fully awake from the chaos, I found myself tied up with a lot of flowers, and my girlfriend was holding a bowl and feeding blood to my mouth, feeding her the blood she had drawn from herself." …,
Wang Lu was stunned, and Wang Dadao: "She is a good woman, and she didn't kill me when I was unconscious before the mutation." Instead, they tied me up and raised me in this particular way. Luckily, though, her blood was my sacrament, and it wasn't long before I was fully awakened. ”
Wang Lu subconsciously turned his head to look, wanting to find Wang Da's girlfriend - she should still be a living person.
Wang Dadao: "You don't have to look for it, she is dead." ”
Wang Lu was puzzled: "Didn't you say that she wasn't eaten by you?" ”
Wang Da threw the branch in his hand into the fire: "There are many ways to die. ”
Wang Lu immediately understood that the woman who loved Wang Da and had the courage to be no less than Chen Wei and Xie Ling must have had an accident.
Sure enough, Wang Dadao: "She died because of a beast in the mountain." It was a trap that had been forgotten by the hunters for many years, and it had been stuck in the mud for an unknown amount of time, and the whole thing was already rusty. But she stepped on it, but the spring that should have failed a long time ago still worked. Because of blood loss and tetanus, she only lasted four days. Before she died, she begged me to cut off her head. ”
"Because she doesn't want to be the living dead like a zombie."
"I begged her, let me bite her, so that she might have a chance to turn into a smart corpse. The two of us can still be together forever. ”
"Well, she said, if she becomes a smart corpse, she will live well with me. However, if she becomes a zombie, I must kill her. ”
"I promised her."
"It's a pity that she didn't become a smart corpse."
