Others also put forward some opinions one after another, and most of them had the same meaning as Xue Yang, that is, to see the situation first.
"Alright! Since everyone thinks that we will look at the situation first. Well! So be it! Li Bing, you wait and ask Xiaocui about the specific direction of their village, and then take Wang Meng to investigate the situation. ”
"Good! I'll go! ”
Li Bing agreed, and quickly caught up with Zhao Xiaoqian and the others, inquired about the specific direction of Zhou Xiaocui's village, and then immediately set off with Wang Meng to reorganize his equipment.
The two climbed up the mountain and walked quickly in the direction pointed by Zhou Xiaocui, both of them were soldiers with excellent physical fitness, and the five or six kilometers of the road were completed in less than half an hour.
In a valley deep in the mountains, an ancient village that looks like some age is located here, surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the south is a plain less than 100 meters wide, and on both sides of the plain are towering cliffs, the cliffs are almost vertical, more than ten meters high, and it looks like someone has split it with an axe.
The ancient village is separated from the inside and outside by a wooden wall composed of countless stout trees, the wooden wall is more than four meters high, it is said to be an ancient village but it looks more like an ancient barracks, and the inside of the cottage is a wooden house built of wood, which looks a little dilapidated.
One of the most central wooden houses stands out, not with one storey like the others, but with three floors, and the shape is different from the others, although most of the structures have collapsed, but it is still very spectacular.
In the cottage, you can see some walking figures, as if the houses are being repaired, while more people are dismantling the uninhabited wooden houses and transporting timber to the south to raise and strengthen the wooden walls of the ancient village.
Because on the plain outside the wooden wall in the south, there are hundreds of zombies surrounding the village, and zombies can also be seen in several other directions of the village, but they are only scattered and scattered, and most of the zombies are gathered in the south.
Under the city walls, there was an old man with gray hair, waving his hands and directing the crowd to install wood.
"Dog! That piece of wood is too short, just put it underneath. ”
"Xiucai! You have some strength to move such thick wood, go back and help your mother cook for everyone, don't make trouble here." ”
"Who! What if you tap and make such a big noise for the monsters outside? ”
"Hurry up in the back, be slow, be careful that you don't have anything to eat at noon......"
Don't look at the old man's hair is a little gray, but he is full of energy, his figure looks even stronger, and he can help people carry wood from time to time.
A strong young man ran over, showed a smile and said to the old man: "Big Grandpa, do you want to go and rest, I can watch it here, I am tired of your old man." ”
"! I'm no better than you, get back to work. The old man scolded angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes! Your old body is very strong, but you can't stop without resting without ......"
The guy was about to persuade a few words, when a sharp whistle came from the side, and the guy's face turned to the side.
"Da Grandpa, those monsters have started to attack the stockade again, or you should hide for a ..... first"
Before the young man could finish speaking, the old man copied a longbow next to him and ran to the wooden wall in three or two steps, stretched out his hand and grabbed the wooden pole and jumped a few times to reach the top of the wooden wall.
Draw an arrow feather from the back and stretch the bow and take the arrow, aim at a running zombie, grab the arrow feather's right hand and let go, with the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, the running zombie fell straight to the ground, an extra arrow came out of the head, and the tail feathers were constantly trembling.
The old man's movements did not stop, and he shot out one arrow after another with a bow, most of the arrows could hit the zombie's head, and only a few would miss and insert it in the zombie's chest.
On the wooden wall, people climbed up one after another, each with a long bow in his hand, there were about a dozen people, old and young, the older ones were about the same age as the old ones, and the younger ones were only in their teens, but most of them were young people in their twenties and thirties.
The accuracy of the arrows shot by these people is not as good as that of the old man, but fortunately, there are many of them, and there are always a few unlucky zombies who are shot in the head under the salvo of more than a dozen people.
The number of zombies that hit the ancient village this time was not large, about twenty or thirty, and it didn't take much effort to be solved by everyone.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that the zombies behind them had not moved, the old man waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down.
The old man slashed down a wooden pole to the ground, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, the young man who had advised him to rest appeared in front of him with a longbow.
"Big Grandpa, didn't I tell you? I can't go up to the city wall, if I fall, I can't explain it to you! The guy looked at him helplessly.
"No, I don't know how many arrows to waste by relying on the archery skills of you people, we don't have much left, we can save a little is a little."
The old man glanced at the young man, sat down on a piece of wood, took out a pipe from his waist, knocked on the cigarette butt, took out a package from his arms, carefully took out a few cigarettes from it and stuffed them in, lit them and took a beautiful puff.
"That's right! Let them all take a break! I guess the movement just now was too loud, so that the monsters outside heard it, and they will start construction after they go away! ”
"Howler!"
The young man was ordered to pass on the news of the rest, and the noisy sound disappeared suddenly, and everyone gathered together in twos and threes and chatted quietly.
"Big Grandpa, you said that Xiaocui and they have all been out for a day, have you found the troops!" The young man sat down beside the old man and asked.
The old man knocked his pipe and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "It's hard to say, after Xiaocui broke out that day, I saw a lot of monsters chasing after them behind them, and I don't know if they got rid of it." ”
The old man sighed deeply, "Hey! Let's hope they get away! Otherwise, even if we weren't eaten by the monsters, we would have to starve to death. ”
"No one thought that there would be an explosion outside, otherwise our village would not be surrounded by monsters, and this rescue might as well not come." The guy complained.
"That's it! It's a good thing that the government can send the army out to rescue, otherwise even if there is no explosion, these zombies will eventually touch us one day, and now I only hope that Xiaocui's girl can find the troops safely and come back to relieve the siege. ”
And just as the two were talking, two figures appeared on the hill not far away, it was Li Bing and Wang Meng who came to investigate.
