Early the next morning, Gu Yu and I left the Pure Land, and before leaving, I asked Bai Junyang to clean up the zombies in the nearby villages and towns for me, so that they could go out to find vegetables and supplies.

Gu Yu and I walked out of the mountain, didn't drive the van, left it to my dad and them, and we found a two-row pickup truck in a town along the way.

The truck had been parked in the garage, Gu Yu found antifreeze gasoline, and it took a while to 'revive' it, and on the way I asked Gu Yu why he set the meeting point with Long Tao in that village, which was relatively closed to traffic compared to other places, and was not suitable for being a stronghold.

Gu Yu told me that the place where he unearthed was not far from that village, and that when the old herb picker in the village was going up the mountain to collect medicine, he accidentally fell into a hole in the ground and found his coffin.

Later, the herb picker climbed out of the hole in the ground and reported the coffin to the relevant departments, who sent someone to transport the coffin away, and rewarded the old man with 200 yuan.

Now that the old man has passed away, the people in the village only know that a coffin was transported out of the mountain, and no one knows that the person in the coffin is alive, and he has returned to this village to save many people.

"So, you call this place home?"

"No, it's been so long, even if I used to have a home, now it's gone, I just ...... Sometimes I wonder about my past. ”

"Your past is history, leave it to historians and archaeologists to explore, you now have a new home, a new family, cherish the most important thing in front of you."

"Hmm."

Don't look at my comforting words, in fact, if it were me, I would also be entangled in the past, the past, the present, and the future are all part of me, and people will feel lost in which part is missing.

But we can't take care of what is in front of us, how can we have the time to trace the past?

Traveling between cities on the endless snowy fields seemed to have become the norm of my life, and we drove back to the village where the corpses had attacked us, and Gu Yu led me to the village where the villagers were preparing to defect to them, following the footprints left by Ah Ying.

However, unfortunately, this village was also looted by zombies, Gu Yu checked the village and the outside of the village, and then said to me: "Long Tao, they have been here, the village should have been attacked at that time, and they went to another place." ”

We were standing at the entrance of the village, there were many footprints in and out of the village, and it was very messy, and Gu Yu pointed out to me a few series of footprints that extended outside the village.

These series of footprints are relatively clear, the pace is basically the same, there is no sign of running away or running around, one of the footprints is obviously two laps smaller than the others, Gu Yu estimated that this was left by Ah Ying.

"You see, this set of footprints is small but deep, and she should be carrying someone."

"She rescued two children from the village, so what should she do now, do you chase them by car, or do you just follow them?"

"They are far away from the road, and the car can't get off the road, and it will get stuck in the farmland, so let's follow."

The two of us exchanged a few words briefly, and then followed the footprints in the snow, Gu Yu said that Long Tao and they took the survivors, it is impossible to go to the mountains, they must be looking for the next place with supplies, they still have combat effectiveness, and it is better to go into the village to find food than to go into the mountains and wait for death.

The traffic in this area is very underdeveloped, and the only way to go between villages is to walk through the fields, and even if there is no snow, you can only ride an electric car or something, and the car cannot be driven at all.

The wind will gradually blow out the footprints left by people and animals in the snow, but fortunately, Ah Ying and the survivors left their footprints are particularly deep, and the traces of kung fu in two or three days cannot disappear.

After following for a while, Gu Yu discovered the anomaly, a group of footprints walked to the side, and turned back, we followed over to take a look, it was Long Tao's team who buried the dead survivors in the snow.

This proves that we are not going the wrong way, Long Tao and they are in front of us, walking for a long time, and finally a man-made building appeared in front, but it is not a village, it is a row of simple board houses.

Long Tao's team has a time difference of a few days with us, and unless they find a relatively safe place to station, Gu Yu and I will not be able to catch up with them.

Sure enough, we found traces of their stay in this row of simple board houses, Gu Yu found a bunch of zombie corpses behind the board room, judging from the wounds on the corpse's neck, Gu Yu thought that Long Tao did it.

They cleaned up the zombies near the board house and stayed in it for one night, and Gu Yu and I also rested in place for ten minutes before continuing on our way.

When it was getting dark, we saw a few bits of warm yellow light in the distance, but the position was obviously far away from the footprints left by Long Tao.

"That's the taillights, be careful." Gu Yu said.

"I went around to the front of the car." I said as I quickly detoured into the distance, and out of sight of the people in the car, I circled the front of the convoy.

When I got closer, I realized that the cars with the tail lights on were only the two commercial vehicles behind the convoy, and there were ten jeeps in front of the convoy, but the fire was turned off and the lights were also off.

A few of the soldiers in charge of the guard stood at the head and back of the convoy with guns, and I didn't think they were like stragglers, so they didn't dare to get too close to the convoy.

After lying in the snow for a long time, I retreated to the distance and joined Gu Yu, and we exchanged opinions, neither of us thought that Long Tao was in this convoy.

When I asked him what the task force does, he said that it is a team that is responsible for finding special supplies for the upper echelons, and that the division of labor is different from that of their search and rescue team.

He also said that the Einsatzgruppen is never responsible for rescuing people, and even if they happen to meet survivors, they will turn a blind eye, and I heard him say this, and I was a little curious about the purpose of this Einsatzgruppen team.

I wanted to change into their appearance to find out some news, but Gu Yu stopped me, and he said that our task now is to find Long Tao and them, and it is best not to make any extraneous branches, these people are not easy to deal with.

We continued to move forward overnight, and the footprints left by Long Tao and the others did not turn in the direction where the special operations team was located, which means that the convoy may not have arrived when they passed here.

We walked all night, and finally arrived at the boundary of Qing County at dawn, and I looked up at the sign above the road, which showed that there was an intersection ahead.

When Gu Yu and I stood in the center of the crossroads, we found that there were footprints in the front, left, and right directions, Gu Yu also felt strange for a while, he looked at the footprints on three sides, and said:

"It's all adult footprints, left at about the same time, it can't be ruled out that Ah Ying was injured, and someone carried her on her back, and it ......"

Gu Yu paused as he spoke: "The number of people is not right, there are two more groups of people." ”

He and I followed Long Tao's footprints all the way here, and we didn't find anyone else joining their team during the period, so the two extra groups of people now are eighty percent earlier than Long Tao and they came to this intersection.

Gu Yu and I followed the imprint left by Long Tao and them on this road, and they should have seen the signpost before turning from the country road to the highway.

I walked back a little bit, and sure enough, I saw several rows of footprints on the road, stretching straight from the distance, until I came to the crossroads, where the footprints of three groups of people converged, and it was impossible to tell who was who.

"Do you say they went directly to the county seat, or did they go to the scenic area? There are many zombies in the county, and there are places to stay and restaurants in the scenic area, so I think they may go to the scenic area. "The street sign indicates that you should go straight ahead, Qingxian, to the left is the natural scenic area, and to the right is the highway to another city.

"No, they have entered the city, a few people have been carried on their backs, they must be sick or injured, there are no medical facilities in the scenic area, in order to save people, Long Tao will definitely venture into the city."

I admired Gu Yu's observation ability, since he said so, there was a good chance that Long Tao and the others had entered the city, so after we finished analyzing, we walked directly forward and walked towards the entrance of the highway into the city.

The first part of the road into the city is relatively easy to walk, and the footprints in the snow are clear, but the deeper you go into the city, the more chaotic the traces on the ground become.

Gu Yu and I couldn't help frowning, the messy traces on the ground couldn't be made by Long Tao's small team, but it seemed like a large group of people often ran through the street.

"There's someone here." I didn't think it was accurate, so I immediately added, "There may be a large number of survivors still here." ”

Gu Yu pointed to the edge of a large area of messy footprints and said, "Look at that, there are people who are barefoot and people who land on the ground with their hands, and it is unlikely that they are survivors. ”

Rather than if he had observed it carefully, I walked over to the place he pointed and looked at it, and as he had said, the mark was made by someone with both hands and legs on the ground at the same time, and the 'stride' was even, not like an accidental fall.

We walked through several streets in a row, and the streets and alleys of Qingxian County were all trampled by the footprints of the 'brigade of people', and it was impossible to tell which one was left by Long Tao.

"I'll go to the hospital, didn't you say they had a sick number of wounded, then they would definitely go to the hospital."

"There are too many zombies in the big hospital, let's go to the community hospital first."

With a partner who is keen to observe and logical rigor, I found that my brain is not very good, it is really the environment that makes people, and in a comfortable environment, I habitually rely on Gu Yu.

However, although Qingxian is not big, it is not so easy to find a community hospital without a map, so we went around in a big circle to find the small second floor of the hospital.

I was so excited that I wanted to run over, but I was stopped by Gu Yu, "Wait, look at the roof." ”

He pulled me behind a big tree on the side of the road, and pointed to the roof of the small building in the distance, and I squinted my eyes to look at the spot he pointed, and vaguely saw a black head peeking out from under the roof guard.

Gu Yu whispered: "Someone is keeping watch on the roof of the building. ”

As soon as I heard him say this, I looked at it again, and I thought that the black head was like the top of a person's head, and the parts below the forehead were all hidden behind the wall under the barricade.

"Is it Long Tao?" I asked.

"What's the maximum range of your net?" Gu Yu didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"50 meters."

"Let's go around behind him, there's a little street over there."

There are no high-rise buildings on the side streets, and the 50-meter radius is all exposed to the sight of the person on the roof of the hospital building, but we don't need to go close to the small building, so it's okay to hide behind the building and cast a net.

We walked around to the back of the hospital, and I covered the man on the roof with a red net across the empty alley, and I felt a little happy that my prank had succeeded.

The moment the red net grabbed the prey, a gunshot rang out from the roof, and then the man was firmly bound by the net, and the window on the first floor of the hospital was suddenly opened from the inside, and three rifles protruded from the window.

Behind the building, there must be someone at the front gate who is preparing for war with a gun, and can pick up a gun to defend against the enemy, indicating that the people inside still have the ability to resist, I glanced at Gu Yu, he looked at me helplessly, presumably at this moment my 'eagerness to try' has been written all on my face, and the bad idea in my stomach has also been seen through by him.
