Volume 1 Doomsday Escape Chapter 34 Dark Shadow
The next day, under Xu Tianpeng's arrangement, they reassigned the task. Yuan Hang and Cheng Yong went to the parking lot under the jurisdiction of the nearest traffic police brigade to look for a car, and were responsible for going to the gas station to find gasoline. The follow-up work of moving the bicycle was also handed over to the two of them. As for the four of them, the job is to cut wood.
Although the wall built with bicycles basically cuts off the possibility of zombies attacking, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no omissions in such a long wall. And if the zombies outside the wall gather to a certain number, they may collapse the wall, or they may turn over from above. So Xu Tianpeng made a simple improvement on the original plan, and inserted spears all over the bicycle wall, with the tip of the spear pointing outward. In this way, even if a zombie comes, it will be skewered like a lamb skewer, as long as you go outside the wall regularly to clean up. So they brought a batch of wood back from the nearby construction site, and their daily work was to sharpen the wood into spears and stick them in the fence.
At night, six people sat on the rooftop of the shopping mall drinking drinks, and the cool breeze blew away the summer heat. The silhouette of the city in the distance was dark in the starlight, and there was still an occasional glimmer of light, which was not clear whether it was fire or light. In the shadows in the distance, I wonder if there are other survivors.
"There should still be other people, like us, hiding in a building, not knowing where to go." Xu Tianpeng saw that the window of a tall building in the distance began to flicker continuously, and it looked like someone was shaking the flashlight.
"It's only three or four kilometers away, are we going to look for them?" Cheng Yong proposed.
"No, it's better not to go. We've got the defenses here in place first. The supermarket outside has food that they don't necessarily need help with, and we're not necessarily the safest place to be. Xu Tianpeng said.
"How's it going out there? Are those zombies hard to deal with? Yuan Hang asked. Speaking of which, after they settled down in the Tinder Sanctuary, they never came into contact with the zombies again. Even occasionally gives them the illusion that the outside is already calm. "Did those zombies gradually rot and turn into bone racks?"
"It's not what you think." Xu Tianpeng said: "Whether it is a dead person or a living person, there is no sign of complete decay. However, there are still differences between them. The former is more corrupt and has rotten flesh all over its body, but it still has some mobility; The latter is better, some of the decomposing wounds on the body may be infections after injury, and some intact zombies are even close to living people. ”
"I don't know how many people are alive out there." Yuan Hang said with emotion.
"There should be a lot more, like Huzi and Dongdong, they have been hiding in one place, but they are actually relatively safe. But there will always be a day when the food will run out, and that's what we built the shelter for. Gather everyone together to tide over the difficulties. ”
"What's next for you? Do you want to go out? Cheng Yong asked.
"Well, I'll wait until it's finished, and I'd like to go home and take a look."
As the night deepened, the six of them went downstairs to their rooms. No one noticed that one after another shadows appeared on the streets of distant cities, walking in a haphazard manner, and then gradually turning in the same direction.
In the early morning, on their unfinished wall, there was a struggling zombie. A spear in the wall pierced through its belly and diagonally through its back. It was wearing a white shirt, which had been stained reddish-brown with blood at the moment.
Cheng Yong stepped forward with a dagger and stabbed it in the temple. Then he put the body down and dragged it to a small cart next to it. There was no suitable place to bury the body nearby, so they had no choice but to throw it in a nearby bridge hole.
I was disturbed by zombies early in the morning, and everyone's interest was not high. They had already moved all the bikes in the neighborhood, but the fence was far from forming. They had to drive deeper into the city, which took more time to get back and forth.
Ten days later, their wall was two-thirds complete, fanning around the front of the Tinder Shelter, but the back had not yet been connected, and it would take another ten days or so to complete. Xu Tianpeng and Li Shanshan were cleaning up the zombies hanging on the wall last night, and there were as many as a dozen.
"Why are these zombies hanging more and more, we are building this wall for defense, not for hunting. According to this trend, it will take half a day to clean these things every day in the future. ”
"I also think it's very strange, although there were zombies out at night around here in the past, there were few of them all night. It seems to be getting more and more recently. Could it be the smell of blood beneath the walls that draws them in? Xu Tianpeng was dragging the corpses of zombies to the cart, so tired that he was out of breath.
"By the way, I'll be with you when you leave here." Li Shanshan said suddenly.
"Why? Isn't it safer here, there is food and drink, it's too dangerous to go out with me. Xu Tianpeng shook his head and said.
"They're all big guys, and it's not convenient for me here. More importantly, it's so boring here that I want to go out and see it. ”
"Aren't I also a great man? I don't necessarily have the ability to protect you outside, and I'll run first when I'm in danger. ”
"I don't need you to take care of me, I just want to go out and have a look."
"We'll talk about it when it's done." However, Li Shanshan is not a delicate girl, and she will not become a burden when she follows her.
"Hey! I'm telling you, we found a big warehouse full of bicycles. Cheng Yong had just returned from a car, and he had to shout from afar.
"That's good, we can move faster. Can you help us take these corpses away while you're gone? ”
"Don't, the blood is stinking and stinking, you better take the trailer and carry it full." Huzi and Dongdong jumped out of the car and began to move their bikes underneath.
Xu Tianpeng cursed and continued to pull the corpse from the spear. "Dangchang!" A dagger fell from the corpse's waist, and it looked quite sharp. Xu Tianpeng put it down and found that it was a young man in his twenties with a backpack on his back. Xu Tianpeng opened it and found that there were two bottles of water, two packets of biscuits, a few pieces of chocolate, another dagger, a lighter, and a map. On the map, there is a place where someone has drawn a circle with a red pen, and the words "Shijiu Lake" are written on it. In the backpack turned out to be standard survival gear. This man was a survivor. Xu Tianpeng examined the corpse and found that in addition to the wound on its abdomen pierced by a spear, it only had a bite mark on the left calf, and the bone was deeply visible. It seems that this unfortunate man was recently attacked by zombies. Xu Tianpeng touched its pocket again, and pulled out an ID card from it, and the photo on it was this young man.
Xu Tianpeng sighed, put it back in his pocket, and then dragged the body onto the cart.
