Chapter 22: The Corn Cannon
Lu Yu shook his head, trying to drive away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, this kind of zombie with scale armor in front of him, he will hide in the future, and the primary goal now is to go to the supermarket to collect supplies.
"Let's go." Lu Yu pulled out the crossbow arrow nailed to the corpse, wiped it on the zombie's tattered clothes, and inserted it back into the quiver behind Xiao Ran.
Although the body of the crossbow arrow can be crafted, there are only 30 arrows in total, and one less is used, so the arrows that can be recovered should be recovered as much as possible.
The two quickly crossed the road and came to the braised chicken shop again.
The mobile phone in the store has long stopped making sound, and the five zombies have become confused again after losing their sound target, and Lu Yu can find through the glass door that none of the five zombies in the store have the kind of dark scale armor on their bodies, and their eyeballs are all white, and they have no visual ability.
"It seems that having eyesight seems to be a characteristic that only scaly zombies have......" Lu Yu came to his own conclusion, and raised the danger level of scaly zombies by a level in his mind.
"When I see this strange zombie with long scale armor in the future, I must walk around." Lu Yu pretended as if his uncle was from the past, said to Xiao Ran, and forcibly ignored the look of disdain on Xiao Ran's face.
According to the original plan, the two did not choose to pass through the path in the two blocks, but chose the main road with a relatively wide view.
Since Lu Yu's house is located in District Y of N City, and the surrounding area is being renovated before the disaster, there are many old communities around it that are in a state of construction to be demolished, and some have been half demolished, so there are no people living in them. From afar, you can even see the various vegetable crops that workers at the construction site planted in their spare time before the disaster.
On the opposite side of the road where Lu Yu and Xiao Ran walked, there was a construction site halfway through, and the workers probably planted corn on the idle mound of soil on the site in order to improve their food.
"If you want to talk about life, you have to be lovely working people." Lu Yu looked at the corn stalks that came out and couldn't help but sigh.
There were only a few cars on the wide road, and there were no zombies or other creatures, which made Lu Yu's originally nervous mood slowly relax, and even distracted himself from commenting on the surrounding environment.
But soon, his relaxed and happy mood was interrupted by the scene in front of him.
It was a large group of zombies, twenty or thirty in number, huddled together, and I don't know what they were doing.
Previously, because there was a heavy truck on the road blocking Lu Yu's view, he didn't find this group of zombies. It wasn't until he got closer that Lu Yu found this group of zombies, and immediately pulled Xiao Ran to hide behind a car, looking at this group of zombies nervously.
"Do any of these zombies have black scales or red eyes?" Lu Yu, who was hiding behind the car, stretched his neck, trying to see the situation among the zombies, but this group of zombies was crowded, it was difficult to see clearly, with his eyesight, he could only see that there were no black scales on the few zombies on the periphery.
"Most of them don't, but I can't see the middle ones clearly." Xiao Ran beside him also followed Lu Yu's example and lay on the side of the car, looking at the corpses in the distance intently, but the results were similar to Lu Yu's.
"It seems that Xiao Ran's eyesight has not improved as much as I imagined......" Thinking in his heart, Lu Yu began to struggle with whether to take this big road or not.
Because the number of zombies in front of him was too much, in case one or even more scaly zombies appeared, he and Xiao Ran would not be able to cope with it at all.
"Do you want to take the path......
Just as Lu Yu hesitated, a strange sound came from a distance.
The sound was like the sound of a person eating a lot of sweet potatoes and then farting hard.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran both turned their heads curiously, trying to find the source of the sound.
It soon became clear to them that the embarrassing sound was coming from a fence on a roadside construction site. And the momentum of the voice is unabated, and it seems to be getting louder and louder.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran glanced at each other, and they both read the confusion and incomprehension from each other's eyes. Until you find out what is going on, it's obviously a good idea to stay put.
In this way, Lu Yu and Xiao Ran continued to lie quietly on the back of the car, observing the situation in front.
The loud fart sound continued, and the sound became louder and louder, and finally, a popping sound similar to the bursting of a balloon stopped the mind-bothering fart sound, and with this explosion, a yellow unknown object of the length of an adult's forearm flew out of the fence and smashed towards the zombie group.
Just heard the sound of "bang", and the yellow unknown object exploded violently the moment it touched the zombie group. Suddenly, a puff of pale yellow smoke rose from the heads of the zombie group, enveloping all the zombies in it.
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were stunned.
What is this? And with an explosion? And smoke?
Before they could react, the familiar sound of farts came from the fence again, and this time it was a trio, and the overlapping and converging farts were monotonous and loud, making the two who were already unknown more and more confused.
"Bang bang bang" three explosions came almost at the same time, and three yellow unknown objects of different lengths flew out of the fence and smashed in the direction of the zombie group.
This time, Lu Yu saw the flying object clearly, but his jaw almost fell to the ground in surprise.
The unknown object in mid-air was three yellow corn cobs!
"What is this! Corn cannon? ”
"Plants vs. Zombies?"
"This is a serious apocalyptic catastrophe, what is the situation with the appearance of a corn cannon, hey!"
"Will there be a gourd falling from the sky in a while, smashing the zombies flat!"
Lu Yu complained frantically in his heart, yes, he was already messy. Zombies, he can accept them; The catastrophe of the last days, he can also accept it; Inexplicable traverser, he also accepted. But the corn cannon in front of him really shocked his mind so much that he had to wonder if he was dreaming.
"It's not scientific, it's really unscientific......"
Although the scene of the corn stalk launching corn to blow up the zombies was extremely outrageous, it was indeed a real thing that happened in front of Lu Yu's eyes, and after calming down the fucked emotions in his heart, Lu Yu began to pay attention to the zombies that were blown up.
The yellow smoke that shrouded the zombies' heads was quickly blown away, and Lu Yu found that the zombies that were blown up at the beginning did not have any major scars on their bodies, and they still looked like they were alive.
"This movement is so big, but the power is so small...... Xiao Ran on the side obviously also observed the situation of the zombies, and whispered with a small mouth.
Lu Yu was about to say something in favor of Xiao Ran's point of view when a strange change reappeared.
The heads of the zombies who were hit by the corn cannon first burst out of the heads, and quickly branched out, and at the same time, the zombies that were "flower pots" dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually fell to their knees.
"it!"
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran let out an exclamation at the same time, in just a few minutes, the zombies that were hit by the corn cannon were directly sucked into dry corpses!
The rest of the other zombies, the head also began to grow green stalks one after another, just like the first zombie that was sucked dry, as the stalks opened and scattered, the originally full body gradually dried up and shriveled, and after a while, the zombie group that was originally gathered together had disappeared without a trace, and only a large piece of corn stalk stood on the side of the road, swaying with the breeze, looking vibrant.
Although the zombie group was not killed, this method of elimination also solved the dilemma faced by Lu Yu.
The only question now is whether he will also be used as a zombie to fire a corn cannon when he passes through that cornfield.
Lu Yu couldn't help but shudder as he imagined the appearance of green stalks on his head.
Although he was extremely reluctant to risk his life, he had to gamble for the sake of supplies.
People are sometimes like this, when they can't see the threat, even if they guess that there will be danger, they still try it with luck, maybe they are the lucky ones.
Fortunately, Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were quite lucky.
I don't know if the corn cannon in the fence has run out of "ammunition", or if Lu Yu and they themselves are out of range, in short, when Lu Yu and Xiao Ran passed by the edge of the cornfield like thieves, the imaginary fart sound did not sound.
Lu Yu, who had passed through the dangerous area, naturally did not stay longer, and pulled Xiao Ran to speed up in the direction of the supermarket.
In this short journey, two accidents have been encountered in succession, and Lu Yu's mentality has begun to change at this time.
From the initial mentality of "thinking that I am fully prepared to deal with various threats", I have changed to the mentality of "I will die on the road in the next second".
But in line with the principle of coming and coming, Lu Yu and Xiao Ran still did not give up the idea of collecting supplies, and continued to walk forward carefully, fortunately, they did not encounter zombies or strange creatures on the next road, and they came to the door of the supermarket smoothly.
Wogou supermarket is one of the famous large supermarkets in N city, just from the supermarket covers an area of 17,000 square meters, you know that there are many types of goods on sale. Of course, in addition to the wide variety that can meet Lu Yu's needs, there is another key point that this supermarket is big enough.
The larger the supermarket, the more escape routes it will have. This is the key reason why Lu Yu chose this supermarket, if it is that kind of small supermarket, there are only one or two entrances and exits, in case Lu Yu is blocked by zombies after entering, it will be completely over.
After all, after the catastrophe broke out, there would be no police uncle to save him, and everything could only be relied on himself.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu took a step and cautiously walked into the supermarket with Xiao Ran......
