Volume 1: Survival in the Sea of Corpses Chapter 328: Wild Rice
The convoy temporarily got rid of the settlers, and Yan Lele gradually stabilized his mood under Wang He's spiritual power, and the convoy was once again hidden by his ability, and the speed of the car gradually decreased.
The evacuation point was quickly reached, and since I didn't know that I would be in trouble, the location was a relatively gentle open area, but there was no danger to defend, and there were no buildings or woods nearby that could be used as shelters.
Such a location is very unfavorable and defensive, so you can only choose another location, the new location must have easy terrain and defensive shelter, but also have an open area that can provide helicopter landing, and at the same time need to be away from the corpses, but there is only one place that meets the conditions.
Grain depot in Shitang County.
There are no zombies in Shitang County, at least the shooting device on Wangcai's body has not been photographed with a similar figure, there are many grain depots in the county, and some smaller grain depots have narrow streets and houses outside, which can be used to arrange defense.
The granary in the granary can also be arranged with a defensive position, and the huge open space between the granaries can land helicopters, if the settlers attack, they only need to defend until the helicopter arrives, and they can immediately retreat to the granary.
The guards on the granary are very condescending and very suitable for lookout and vigilance, which can play the role of early warning, and can also be responsible for cover when retreating, until all are boarded before evacuating.
Time did not allow them to be indecisive, and there was no more suitable evacuation point than this, so Wang He immediately made a decision, left a car, and after marking the roof of the car, all the staff immediately moved into Shitang County.
With the assistance of Yan Lele's ability and Wangcai's reconnaissance, it was not difficult for the convoy to reach the predetermined location, and even without attracting the attention of the settlers, the basic defense facilities were quickly built at the predetermined location.
Wang He stood on the top of a granary, looking at the strange scenery around him, from the moment he entered the border of Shitang County, he found a strange phenomenon, but he had been busy and had no time to think.
When the defensive positions were set up and everyone began to wait for the helicopter to respond, Wang He remembered his question again, this Shitang County is too weird......
First of all, after entering Shitang County, I have never seen or heard of any living animals, nor have there been any corpses, even if they are broken zombie corpses, which are a bit clean and terrifying.
Secondly, the whole county is covered with a layer of soil, whether it is a road or a courtyard, as long as it is a flat place, there is a thick layer of soil, not dust, but soil, which is more than 30 centimeters thick.
And the same plants grew in the soil, Wang He didn't know what kind of plant it was, it looked like a farmer in a rural field, but his knowledge of crops was limited to that, unless it was time for a good harvest and it was full of fruit, he couldn't even tell the difference between corn and sorghum.
If it is said that it is overgrown with greenery, there is nothing unusual, but as far as the eye can see, the whole quiet county is full of bare dead trees, dry bushes, and dry grass everywhere, and the only living creature is this one plant.
The roof of the car and the roof of the house, as long as it is flat and open-air, are all green and lush, just like a beautiful realistic oil painting, and the author is a child who works hard to create, but can only paint one kind of plant.
Weird, is Wang He's only adjective for this small county, the morning sun is gentle on the green sea, the morning wind rustles, is the only note in this unusually quiet small county, it should make people feel soothing, but there is a strange feeling of chilling behind.
"It's like rice." There were many farmers in the team who had been farmers all their lives, and they expressed their opinions under Wang He's inquiry.
"It just seems a little different," said another member of the slave catcher...... "This pole is obviously much thicker, and the leaves are big and tall."
"You haven't seen it yet?" Wang He originally thought that this was a unique plant in the local area, and the locals who deal with crops all year round should recognize it at a glance, but he didn't expect that four or five people shook their heads and said that it was the first time they saw it.
"A bit like wild rice...... A middle-aged man with relatively rich experience uprooted a plant, the root system of the plant is very developed, wrapping a large piece of soil, he shook the soil on the root, carefully observed it for a while, and then threw it away.
"It's rice that can't be wrong, it's very similar to wild rice, wild rice used to be planted with rhizomes, and the appearance is very close, but I haven't seen this variety, and I have to say the difference, this wild rice is stronger, and it is more adaptable than the one we cultivated before.
Ordinary wild rice can grow to one meter and five meters tall, and this mutant variety will not be less than two meters at a minimum, and from the perspective of the environment, it is more drought tolerant, but I don't know what the yield is......
"What did you do?" Wang He looked at this middle-aged man named Sun Kezhou, who became more and more excited the more he talked, and secretly thought that he might have picked up a treasure.
Sun Kezhou scratched his head and said with a humble smile: "The Lingnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences is to give a hand to the breeding department."
"Not bad!" It's really sleepy to send pillows, Genting City seriously lacks all kinds of scientific and technological talents, and I didn't find an expert in agriculture on this trip to Lingnan, but I didn't expect to have one by my side.
"Jinbao, you must ensure Sun Kezhou's safety, and he will be given priority to evacuate later!"
"Got it, master!" Jinbao half-bent down to receive his life, and the people around him also cast envious glances, this Sun Kezhou is about to rise to the top after that.
The lush wild rice is a good way to hide people's traces, people pile up the items that need to be evacuated and take away in the grain depot, and then block the intersection of vehicles, and pile up the wild rice that can be seen everywhere on the roof of the car, camouflaging it as if it belonged here.
And all the combatants, the branches and grass stalks are all over the body, and then scattered and hidden everywhere, as long as they lie down at will, they can't see where there are people at all, perfectly integrated into the environment, from a distance, they can't see that there are more than 100 people here.
The only fly in the ointment, I don't know who it was, actually brought the eight little piglets, it was too hasty to break through, Wang He didn't pay attention to it at all, maybe it was because the hard life was too long, and the mutant pigs were too delicious, so they were reluctant to throw it away, and the sow was too big to take away, so he brought the piglets.
After entering Shitang County, these piglets have been restless and neighing, especially lacking the comfort of their mothers, the louder the piglets screamed, the more miserable they were, making the already tense atmosphere more and more anxious.
At this moment, a large truck pulling earthwork drove in the distance, there were several people standing in the bucket, looking at the costumes were settlement people, two people holding Aka 47, standing in front of the body, looking around, and the remaining four people, along the way, picked up something from the car and threw it down.
Wang He was afraid that the sound of the pig would attract the attention of the people in the settlement, so he hurriedly ordered the pig to be killed, and the guards also knew that the situation was urgent, so they pulled out the bone machete and stabbed it, and a little pig fell in response.
Just waiting to deal with the others, unexpectedly, the little pig was not stupid, and when he saw that his brother was dead, he struggled into a mess, and even bumpered and bit away from the humans, and ran around in all directions.
How can the speed of people catch up with them, and the action is too big for fear that it will be seen by the settlement people, but fortunately, the wild rice is half a person high, if you don't look carefully, you can't see something passing under the breeze under the vegetation.
But there was still a piglet that rushed straight to the truck, and at the critical moment, with a low whine that was not loud to human hearing, all the piglets immediately stopped, and actually slowly retreated cautiously.
The seven piglets returned to the grain depot slowly, and lay down in front of Laihui who was sitting on the ground with their heads held high, and their trembling appearance was obviously suppressed by the coercion of the Beast King, as if they knew that they had made a mistake, and reverently waited for the Beastmaster's sanction.
Laifu didn't look at them, its eyes always followed the master who was squatting on the top of the granary, and seeing that Wang He didn't say anything, he didn't reprimand too much, and another low whine, so that the piglets obediently returned to their original places, lying there quietly, and no longer making a sound.
The people who saw it were secretly surprised, and they admired Wang He even more, compared to the inner city of Lingnan, those who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and enjoyed the glory and wealth, this legion elder had a clear difference.
Strong strength, must be the first in every battle, ruthless to the enemy, very preferential treatment of his own people, even raising a dog is so domineering, training is so humane, just by the eyes can do it like an arm.
No wonder Brother Jinbao ...... No, it should be the second brother of Jinbao, willing
is willing to be his dog, abandon the status and wealth he has already reached without complaint, and take everyone out of Lingnan without hesitation and follow him north.
At this time, everyone already knew why he was called the Rifles, why Wang He once said that he was just the acting gang leader, and it turned out that the gang leader was actually the war dog called Rifle, but no one cared about his bad taste that was not funny at all.
Strength is respected, Laifu's combat effectiveness is undoubted, except for Wang He, who dares to shout in front of it, provokes a mouthful, and whoever is in Laifu's mouth has all beings equal.
So, it's actually good to have a dog as the boss......
Wang He didn't have the time to guess what everyone was thinking, staring at the truck, and finally he could see what the truck was throwing down, it was a corpse, the corpse of the settlement people who were killed by Wang He and the others last night.
Could it be that the settlers went to great lengths to retrieve the corpse just to leave it here? Before he could figure out what the settler's purpose was, on the radio, Jin Bao whispered, "Master! You'd better take a look here."
Wang He heard the prestige, more than fifty meters away, although the distance was a little far, but with his eyesight, he could still see clearly, the corpse of the pig cub that was killed just now had already begun to decay in a short period of time.
The carcass of the piglet did not even appear to be stiff, the wound had already appeared green patches, the mouth and nose flowed dark red liquid, the corpse quickly expanded and deformed, and rapidly decomposed and liquefied.
