On the outskirts of a small remote town in Hedong Province, there is a strange landform, with desert Gobi, green grasslands, and dense forests intertwined.

The cold of winter robbed them of the colors that should belong to them, and at a glance they were full of yellow-brown gloom, which was even more simple and magnificent.

Unlike Hexi Province, which is mostly steep mountains, here is a flat river as far as the eye can see, and occasionally there are one or two mounds that can be called mountains.

On such a relatively high mound, Wang He stood here quietly, looking into the distance, the indescribable desolation around him, as far as the eye could see, there was no trace of human beings, even the silver disc that hung on his head all the time, and he had long been accustomed to it.

It has been more than half a month since leaving Tianyuan City, because the catastrophe happened suddenly, there was not much congestion on the national highway and highway, and it only took Wang He and the others one day to reach the border of Hexi Province.

However, as a major energy province, large coal trucks enter and exit the border all year round, and the highway is finally blocked by overturned trucks.

Helplessly, Wang He took a detour to take the national highway, fortunately they downloaded the map of the whole country on their mobile phones, and walked according to the map along the way, stumbling and spending a lot of time, and finally came to Hedong Province, but they encountered new troubles.

They are lost, yes, even if there is a map, they are still lost, after all, the map is not navigation, although Wang He travels all the year round, but he is also a road idiot, without the help of navigation, he is finally trapped in this wilderness.

"How's it going?"

Wu Ting frowned when she saw him, walked down the hill with a sad face, and guessed in her heart, but still asked without giving up.

Wang He shook his head, took a sip of water, and replied, "Keep going east, you can always find the town." ”

Ironically, they initially avoided entering the town as much as possible, gathering supplies only on the outskirts of the city when they needed supplies, but now they wished that a large city would appear in front of them.

There is not much food and water, and the worst thing is that there is not much gasoline left, about 100 kilometers, and the military vehicle driven by Shi Chong must be abandoned, and that car is simply an oil tiger.

The journey was boring and boring, especially the scenery along the way was the same winter depression tone, which made people even more drowsy, Wu Ting held the information in her hand and read it carefully, and Li Jingu drove the vehicle instead of her.

"Ahhhhh......h

A few crows' cries suddenly made everyone's nerves tense, and there were not many zombies encountered along the way, and this mutated animal was not uncommon, especially this crow magpie.

They are always found in groups and are the most common mutated animals, which are also described in the data.

Most scavengers and carnivorous animals will mutate after accidentally eating the carrion of zombies, and their strength and agility will increase, but their IQ is not as degraded as zombies, and they are even smarter than the original.

However, it will not spread between animals, whether it is a bite or scratch, or accidentally eating the corpse of a mutated animal, it will not be transmitted and mutated, which is also good news, otherwise not to mention humans, even zombies will be quickly devoured by mutated animals.

Wang He and the others have already fought with many mutant animals, and the most difficult thing is this corpse bird, which has a wide field of vision, fast speed, and small size, which is very difficult.

"Let's go, head south."

Wang He stopped his motorcycle and yelled into the radio, the corpse birds, like ordinary birds, were accustomed to inhabit the woods, and as far as the eye could see, there was only one forest in the northeast, and the crows of the crows came from there.

The birds' eyes were not bad, and they had already spotted the group, and after a few unpleasant screams, a black shadow rose from the woods.

Wang He gasped, this group of corpse birds was the largest he had encountered so far, and in the face of this sheer number, there was nothing he could do but escape.

One motorcycle, two cars, increase the speed to the fastest, speeding up on the grassland, Wang He's technology and the reliable quality of the motorcycle, maintain the position of the head car, continue to play the role of pathfinding.

The military vehicle driven by Shi Chong can fully cope with the complex road conditions of the grassland, Wu Ting has replaced Li Jingu in the driver's seat at this time, compared to this SUV, which is much worse and requires her talent to control.

But this kind of high-speed driving is very harmful to the vehicle, and I don't know how many kilometers the SUV can last.

In an instant, the vehicle had already traveled sixty or seventy kilometers, the corpse birds were still in hot pursuit, the fuel level of the military vehicle had bottomed out, and Li Jingou was even ready to jump out of the car to save Shi Chong.

"There is a house in front, it is a village, there is salvation! There is salvation! On the radio, Wang He suddenly shouted in surprise.

Not far ahead, a string of low farmhouse yards, slightly dilapidated houses, mottled walls, and depressed village roads all show that this is a deserted village that has been uninhabited for a long time.

But it's okay to be able to temporarily avoid the siege of the corpse birds, where can you take care of the rest.

Wang He twisted the accelerator, urged the motorcycle to quickly drive into the deserted village, selected a house that did not look seriously damaged and got in, and the three people who followed also jumped out of the car and ran in.

The window glass of this house is still there, which is why Wang He took a fancy to it at a glance, as soon as he entered the door, Wang He looked around for debris to block the door and window, and then pulled the three of them to run into the inner room.

As long as the corpse bird can't see its prey for a long time, it will give up the pursuit, which is also the experience summed up by encountering mutant animals many times on the road.

The four of them hid in the dimly lit inner room for two or three hours, until they could not hear the slightest movement outside, and then tentatively walked out.

The glass of the outhouse was broken in two, and the broken glass shards were all over the ground, mixed with a few black feathers, and there were no traces of corpse birds in the house, it seemed that they had flown out, and they looked outside the house, and they didn't find any corpse birds, and the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When he came to the courtyard, Wang He looked around for a while uneasily, and then walked to the village road and picked up the motorcycle.

"Let's rest here tonight."

It's not early, it's very unsafe to spend the night in the wild, and there are a few times when you have a night break to encounter a silent sneak attack of unknown creatures, but fortunately, the four of them are extraordinary, and the enemy is also a sneak attack that can't achieve and quickly escape.

But until now, I haven't figured out what the sneak attackers are, or what kind of species they are, these sneak attackers come and go very quickly, and the reaction is also very fast, only one shot, and if they fail, they disappear, and it is difficult to find a trace.

Because of this, the four of them formed the habit of never traveling at night and spending the night in the wild.

Asked Li Jingou to collect some sundries and cover the windows of the house, at least it was not transparent, Wang He went around to look at the environment, picked up some firewood by the way, and left Shi Chong and Wu Ting to carry all the useful things on the military vehicle to another car.

The military vehicle driven by Shi Chong ran out of fuel and had to be abandoned, and the supplies on the car needed to be transferred to the SUV.

The village doesn't seem to have been abandoned for long.

Most of the houses are relatively intact, the iron gate of the yard has not been removed, there are bamboo poles in the nearby vegetable fields, and cabbage, radishes, etc. can still be seen in some fields, but no one has managed them for a long time, some have broken down, and some have been eaten by animals.

There seems to be a plastic greenhouse in the distance, Wang He looked over with great interest, and was surprised to find that there are still a lot of fresh vegetables here, you must know that I haven't seen these treasures for more than half a month.

Picked a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, picked up a broken cardboard box, put it on and walked back, as soon as he looked up, Wang He saw an archway at the exit on the other side of the village, with three words written on it.

"Wudian Village"

Next to the archway, there is a vacant lot.

It's like a place where the villagers usually gather for chatting, there is a well in the clearing, and there are reels and buckets hanging at the mouth of the well, Wang He stepped forward to look, there is water in the well, he hit a bucket, the water is clear, and he tasted a small mouthful, and it was quite sweet.

However, he didn't dare to drink more raw water, and it was better to boil it for safety, if this place was sick, it would not be a trivial matter.

Carrying a bucket of water and a box of vegetables, Wang He saw piles of dry firewood stacked up, probably collected by the previous villagers, and he was not polite, so he picked up a large handful, picked up a straw rope and tied it up, and carried it back with him.

Wu Ting and the three of them had just finished the work at hand, and when they saw Wang He coming back, they were carrying a lot of things, and the three of them hurriedly helped to bring them into the house, and they were so happy to see the vegetables.

Set up a fire, pour well water into a canned iron meat and boil it, don't cut the vegetables, wash them casually and throw them into the cans to cook, the smell is so fragrant that the intestines in people's stomachs are pumping, and even Shi Chong, who is so withdrawn that he has no expression at all, has the corners of his mouth upturned.

After eating and drinking, Wang He only then talked about the affairs of Wudian Village.

Open the mobile phone map and start searching for the place name, the village is not big, from this end to that end, a cigarette is enough, even so, the mobile phone map still has a very clear logo and detailed geographical location.

It turned out that they had already deviated from the route, but fortunately they did not deviate too much, only 170 kilometers away from the headquarters of Hedong Province, and almost 60 kilometers away from the nearest city, Yangde City, and they set their next goal there.

Yangde City is a relatively prosperous city, with a permanent population of more than three million, and according to the scale of zombies in Tianyuan City, which has a population of more than five million, there will be no shortage of zombies here.

After making a plan for the next step, Wang He went to carry back a lot of dry firewood, after all, the winter in the north was still very cold at night.

It had just entered the evening, Shi Chong and Li Jingu silently divided the order of night duty, only Wang He and Wu Ting chatted quietly for a while, and fell asleep after a while.

In the middle of the night, the sleeping Wang He suddenly felt a little awkward, and there was an inexplicable pressure that made him open his eyes suddenly.

In the faint light of the fire, a face distorted by burns was right in front of him, with somewhat crooked eyes, staring at him deadly.

"Ah......" Wang He was startled, and subconsciously shouted, no matter who the other party was, he smashed into that face with a punch.

"Shh Li Jin Hook squatted by the door, desperately signaling silence with his hand, and Wang He reacted at this time, the person who was beaten by him was Shi Chong......

Half of Shi Chong's face was sunken, and he sat in the corner with his face covered aggrievedly, and what was even more aggrieved was that he had to keep quiet, and he couldn't even complain.

Although this movement was not loud, it seemed to make things outside the door noticeable, the wooden door was scratched by something I don't know what it was, Wang He picked up his bow and arrow, and aimed it at the wooden door.
