Chapter 62: Attrition Again
The moon is red, but not as bright as it was yesterday.
The five of them were so frightened that they didn't care too much, so they buried their heads and started running.
On the wide plains, the infected body received the light and moved faster. The infected marmot scurried out like a meteor, squeaking and squeaking, its front teeth erected like javelins, and shot at the maqui-faced door that was running ahead.
Even if it is strengthened, a groundhog is a groundhog after all!
Markey held the steel fork in front of him, and the infected groundhog crashed into the fork on its own, before being flung to the right by Markey.
The groundhog, which had been pierced through its body, got up and continued to run after them.
With the blessing of Xiang En's magic, it is impossible for these little things to catch up with them, but they are afraid that there will be infected large zombie beasts on the road ahead, or all the ghosts in the pasture behind them will run out to chase them.
The road in front of you is unobstructed, but you can't see zombie beasts the size of cows and horses, only sporadic infected small zombie beasts roaming.
Xiang En looked back at the ranch many times, but fortunately, there was no strange movement in the ranch, and the monsters inside did not notice them.
The threat of the ranch was gone, which made them a little less nervous, but the next problem arose.
How do they get rid of the small zombie beasts chasing after them?
In order to save his physical strength, Xiang En didn't dare to think too much, so he opened his mouth to adjust the formation.
Markey opened the way in front, the two younger brothers stood on the left and right sides, and Andrea was behind, firmly protecting Xiang En in the middle.
The small zombie beasts that gathered around them were either kicked away or picked up by steel forks, and their speed did not decrease at all, and they ran faster than they walked, saving their physical strength as much as possible.
The pasture was still silent, and the bad situation did not happen, and they ran for a long, long time, until the moon in the sky reached its highest point, and they did not encounter too bad a situation.
The red light of the moon illuminates the road ahead, and above the plain, the road is so vast that it is frightening, as if there is no end!
No matter how long they run, the scenery still won't change much.
Andrea looked back, and under the red moonlight, there was a surging "black tide".
After hours of running, all the zombie beasts encountered along the road were alarmed, and they persevered to follow behind, like hungry wolves that will never stop if they can't eat meat.
At first, zombie beasts would occasionally catch up with them and attack, but after running for two hours, their speed slowed down, and many zombie beasts suddenly couldn't move and fell out of the group.
This made Andrea know that these were not undead creatures with never-ending physical strength, and she had a little more confidence in surviving.
Cha!
Ma Ji, who was running in front, suddenly stopped, and Xiang En, who was chasing behind him, was also forced to stop, and as soon as he stopped, the others followed.
"Old... Top dog! Markey gasped and didn't dare to speak too loudly, just moved out of the way so that Xiang En could see what lay ahead.
Tired and out of breath, Xiang En looked ahead, and saw a complex of buildings at the end of his vision under the red moonlight, which was larger than the town he had just encountered.
It was a small city, and around the small city, strange birds flying in the sky and large zombie beasts wandering were "carnival", and the picture was full of chaos and mystery.
Although it has a building where several people can evacuate, the premise is that you can break through the blockade of the monsters and sneak in!
Now, they don't have that ability to get inside, and everyone has a dry mouth and a dizzy eye.
It's completely unrealistic to kill it!
Xiang En looked left and right, and finally looked at the Kuroshio who was about to catch up behind him, pointed to the left side of Shangdao, and said, "Go left, keep going!" ”
With their goal set, the group quickly turned around and abandoned the gravel road they had stepped on over the years and stepped into an undeveloped area full of dirt and grass.
The meadows of the plains do not necessarily represent life, there are traps and dangers.
There are countless puddles of water lurking in the undulating meadows, and if you step on it, your feet will sink into the mud, exacerbating the physical exertion and slowing down the speed of movement.
In order not to be torn apart by the monster, Xiang En can only make this dangerous decision.
While running, Xiang En rubbed out two pieces of bread with both hands and gnawed them down, recovering his magic and physical strength at the same time.
In addition, he rubbed a piece of bread for Andrea and Markey.
They also know the magic of bread, and they don't stop even when the food in their stomach is tumbling and hurts.
It is really helpless to go deep into the grassland where there is "no way out" like this.
Just like that, he walked all the way, and his speed did not decrease, and the zombie beasts maintained behind him could not keep up.
After entering the grassland where there is no human existence, the zombie beasts encountered along the way have decreased a lot, perhaps because the zombie beasts covet a large amount of meat in groups, right?
That's how it should be......
Poof!
After about an hour, they stepped into a puddle hidden in the grass, and their walk suddenly became one foot deep and one foot shallow.
As soon as the speed slowed, Andrea turned back a little nervously, the grass at this time had already covered the calves, and most of the zombie beasts chasing behind her were small animals, and few of them were higher than the grass underground.
This creates a very bad situation where their vision is restricted!
It was nighttime, and the light of the red moon was only enough to see the outline and general shape, and with the grass now obscuring it, Andrea could only see the grass that was constantly trembling, and could not accurately judge what distance the zombie beast had chased.
Xiang Eun, who looked back a few times, also noticed this problem and reminded Ma Ji to go as fast as possible.
Markey was also trying hard to find the way, and the steel fork in his hand kept inserting into the ground and pulling it out, afraid of a sudden step in the air.
In the midst of nervous urging, they managed to cross the puddle and climb the low slope before they were overtaken.
Just when several people were relieved, thinking that they would be fine after passing the puddle, a younger brother next to Ma Ji was suddenly attacked by a black shadow!
Swish!
In the bright red night, Markey watched as the black shadow beside him snatched his little brother away at a speed that he could hardly see.
The person who was captured couldn't help but be frightened, and let out a series of screams, "Help... Help me! Boss Markey! Xiang En Boss! Save me! Ahhh ”
He only had time to call out for help from the two bosses, but he couldn't wait for the two to save him.
Xiang En involuntarily stopped, he saw a piece of twist flower, no, carefully identify, it was a python, a python with a snake body slightly larger than Andrea's waist!
The wound snake body continued to tighten, the sound of bones shattering and rubbing was terrifying, and his screams disappeared......
"Let's go! Keep going! ”
Suddenly losing another person, Xiang En's heart was a little heavier.
The four of them turned back step by step, looking at the snake body that was still entangled, and a sense of sadness for the dead rabbit and fox emerged again.
After running hundreds of meters wildly, when Andrea looked back again, she was surprised to find that the zombie beasts behind her were more than ninety percent less!
She told Xiang En about this discovery, and Xiang En took time to think about it, guessing that the python just now might be a living thing, not a zombie beast!
