Chapter Twenty-Nine: Encounter with Zombies
Ji Qiu ran in front, and zombies chased behind.
When running, Ji Qiu looked back from time to time, his limbs were stiff, his arms were stretched forward, and his knees were not bent when he jumped, so he didn't need to look at it, he must be a zombie.
Ji Qiu had only heard of zombies before, but he had never seen them with his own eyes, but this time he had seen it for a long time, and it was really unlucky to encounter such a thing in the barren mountains and mountains.
Ji Qiu is very weak, even if he steps desperately, he can't run fast, but fortunately, the zombie jumps not fast, and he hasn't caught up with him for two or three miles.
Ji Qiu didn't know what the zombie looked like, and he didn't want to know, if he saw the appearance of the zombie clearly, it meant that the zombie was very close to him.
In addition to being glad that the zombies were not jumping fast, Ji Qiu was also glad that he had eaten something earlier, otherwise he wouldn't even have the strength to escape at this time.
If he threw away the bundle of bone sticks and iron pots and other personal utensils, Ji Qiu could run faster, but he was reluctant to throw it away, and he would have nothing to eat after throwing it away.
Running out of four or five miles, Ji Qiu was already sweating, and his speed gradually slowed down, he was tired, the zombie was not tired, he took the opportunity to shorten the distance, and when the distance was close, Ji Qiu finally saw the appearance of the zombie, just like the legend, this guy has a dark face, sharp teeth and fangs, the skin and flesh on his face and eyes have been shriveled, and he is wearing a set of yellow robes when he was buried.
was already physically exhausted, and was frightened by the zombies, and suddenly gave birth to a little strength, gritted his teeth to support, ran violently for a while, and left the zombies behind.
But when the manpower is poor, it is not a way to run like this, sooner or later you will be exhausted and tired, and you want to leave the road and run into the woods, but you are afraid that there will be many obstacles in the forest, not only can you not get rid of the zombies, but you will also be caught up by them.
He also carried a long knife with him, and he was chased by the zombie in a hurry, so he wanted to run back and fight the zombie, but he didn't know much about zombies, and he didn't know if the long knife he used could hack the zombie to death, so he hesitated for a long time and had to give up.
There are a lot of tall trees on both sides of the road, Ji Qiu will climb trees, and when he finds that he is physically exhausted, he wants to climb up the tree, but he is worried that the zombies will squat under the trees, and I don't know if this thing is afraid of the sun, if the zombies do not retreat after sunrise, will they not be trapped in the trees.
I couldn't think of a feasible way, so I could only keep running, panting and exhausted.
He was already wounded, his body was weak and weak, where could he withstand this kind of desperate escape, and it didn't take long for him to feel black in front of his eyes, stumble, and almost fall.
Waiting to barely stand firm, looking back, the zombie has chased five feet behind him, in a hurry, he didn't think much about it, saw some big trees on the side of the road, rushed forward, and climbed up with his hands and feet.
Because of the injury on his back, it was very difficult to hold the trunk of the tree, but at the moment of life and death, he suddenly had some strength, reached the branch above, grabbed and pulled, and climbed up.
As soon as he climbed up, the zombie had already chased under the tree, and the strong corpse stench almost wanted to vomit, lest it jump and attack, so he had to continue to climb upwards until he reached the top of the tree, which was three feet above the ground.
Looking down, I saw the zombie standing under the tree, unable to raise its head or go up the tree because of the stiffness of its limbs, but just jumping around the tree.
Temporarily out of danger, Ji Qiu was able to breathe, raised his hand to wipe his sweat and gasped for breath.
At this moment, he suddenly found that there was a fire in the north, and the place where the fire came out was about ten miles away from him, and the fire was very large, and the fire was soaring into the sky.
Ji Qiu came from the north, he knew what was in the north, and the place where the fire caught fire should be the inn where he and Ji Ling'er encountered the bandits, and he passed by there during the day, but he didn't enter because of the stench, and he didn't know who set the inn on fire.
The fire had been burning, and although the light was far away, Ji Qiu also felt a little safe, and he even hoped that the burning inn would cause a mountain fire and burn the poisonous snakes and beasts hidden in the forest, and it would be great if he could burn the zombies under the trees.
The inn burned for half an hour, after which the fire weakened and did not cause a wildfire.
During the half hour that the inn burned, and for some time afterward, no one passed by the road under the tree, indicating that the person who lit the fire did not come south, but went north.
This made Ji Qiu feel very puzzled, he came from the north, he didn't see anyone going north from the south, the person who set fire to the inn was undoubtedly from the north, this person turned around after setting the inn on fire, what did this person want to do, he wouldn't have come to burn the inn.
The zombie stayed under the tree, at first jumping around the tree, and then stopped jumping or leaving, and stood under the tree in a daze.
At the fourth watch, Ji Qiu couldn't hold it anymore, for fear that he would fall down after falling asleep, so he untied his waist rope and tied himself to a tree.
Maybe you are asleep, or you may not be asleep, half-asleep and half-awake, very unsteady.
I finally stayed up until dawn, looked down, and took a long breath, the zombies were gone......
