In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of July, three days had passed since the corpse tide, and the survivors of the small city had successfully escaped with the help of Cao Baoyang, who had taken the 'special medicine' for seven days, and his appearance had returned to the appearance of ordinary children.

Cheng Yifeng also got rid of the control of hypnosis the night before the corpse tide, and after he woke up, he told me something that Lan Jingjing hadn't said, and I still thought of her simply.

However, I will not have anything to do with her in the short term, and her affairs can be left for later, and right now, Gu Yu is driving an off-road vehicle, and the two of us came out this time to pick up the leak.

Mass corpses crossing the border, in those corners and corners, where people go to the empty camps, may find useful resources, such as fuel and batteries, which we cannot produce, are the main targets of our search.

We pulled back several sets of household solar equipment before the corpse tide came, and now it is very convenient for everyone to take a bath, Ye Lei and Xia Jinyan also got more than a dozen ultra-long water pipes and sprinklers for irrigation, water pumps, and generators.

Outside the open car window, there is an endless green field, the snow and ice melt, the spring returns to the earth, and the small river in the city is very powerful, and it is planted with vegetables and grain on both banks.

I was a little homesick when I just left the house, and I felt helpless for my 'love home', who made life in a small town calm and peaceful, while the outside world was still full of devastation.

The snow on the roads has completely melted, the abandoned cars and bones buried under the snow have been re-exposed to the sun, and the large number of dead bodies have developed epidemics in the heat.

But there are so many corpses that even if Xindu wants to clean them up, I am afraid there are not enough manpower, and this project is huge, whether it is digging pits and burying them, or burning them intensively, it will take a long time to complete.

The wilderness and roads are still good, but the situation is getting worse when entering the city, and the corpses that died of high fever are lying in the major medical institutions and no one to deal with them, plus the zombies who were killed, and the people who died accidentally while escaping, they are simply a nightmare for the city in the summer.

And that's not even counting the crashed planes, stopped trains and coaches, the bodies inside were like expired cans, and I even saw zombies in trains and cars that were still able to move.

They are in an enclosed space, unable to respond to the call of the corpse king, perhaps because the temperature is low in winter, which plays a certain role in preserving freshness, or maybe the virus has maintained a stable state, their skin is badly decayed, and the musculature under the skin is still the same as I have seen before, protecting the muscles and bones like a new 'epidermis'.

Now that everything is recovering and they are alive again, I guess it's those dark muscles that help them withstand the cold, and presumably the zombie army is no different, and it turns out that the normal cold environment is not fatal to them.

Because we were afraid of missing out on the stronghold where the supplies were stored, Gu Yu and I didn't plan to use the teleportation device, so we drove the car to conduct a carpet search by area.

When a vehicle gets in the way, there is a large-scale explosion, and his air bomb is better than a bomb, he can manipulate the air to bounce away all obstacles in the way, but it will not blow up the road.

The country roads are fine, there are few vehicles, there are few corpses, large patches of weeds and wildflowers grow in the abandoned farmland, and the air is very fresh.

Gu Yu found a farmhouse built in the middle of the mountain, with an independent courtyard where you can stay and have a restaurant, and behind the courtyard is a separate vegetable garden.

"Let's go see, the zombie tide has been here." Gu Yu drove the car onto the mountain path.

The courtyard door of the farmhouse was damaged by an external force and fell to the side, and there were many footprints printed on the door panel, and if you look closely, you can still see palm prints.

The gray brick courtyard walls on both sides also have traces of climbing, and about a hundred meters away from the courtyard wall, there are dozens of zombie corpses.

They had guns, knives and axes, and some of their heads were only half of them, apparently smashed with stones or something, and the edges of the wounds were irregular.

There was a fierce battle, which can also be said to be a defensive battle, and the survivors living in the farmhouse noticed that zombies were approaching and organized a fierce attack.

Unfortunately, the number of corpses is far greater than people think, and if I were them, I would have chosen to flee immediately when I realized that something was wrong.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw a lot of corpses lying on the ground, some zombies and some humans, and the human corpses were relatively fresh.

"They didn't turn into zombies." I approached a corpse and stood next to him to look down at the three wounds he had on his body, the most fatal of which was a knife wound to the chest.

The same is true for several other corpses, they were all killed by humans, I remember that zombies eat dead meat, and Old Man Han is Nini who is fed with dead human flesh.

But apparently the zombies that attacked here did not eat, and several corpses died at the hands of the same kind, and there were no scars caused by zombies on their bodies.

"Zombies are starting to pick picky eaters." Gu Yu glanced at the corpses on the ground, "These people died before the zombies rushed into the courtyard, and the zombies went there with their blood on their feet. ”

Gu Yu's eyes followed the bloody footprints on the ground to the side of the farmhouse accommodation building, and the footprints all went in that direction, and no zombies entered the small building where the accommodation was located.

This shows that there are no living people in the building, Gu Yu and I directly followed the footprints to the back of the building, behind the building is the leisure and entertainment area, there are bamboo forest stone tables, of course, the bamboo is fake.

There is also a greenhouse for people to experience the fun of picking, and behind the greenhouse is an artificial lake, and there is a wooden house by the lake, where you can play cards and chat in summer.

There are so many zombies that we can't tell which building they're targeting, and there are traces of their stampede everywhere.

"Public baths." Gu Yu pointed to the hillside on the higher side of the courtyard, where there was a cobblestone staircase, two quaint wooden houses, and signs for men's and women's baths hung on the lintels.

"Is it a hot spring?" When I jumped up the steps, there were still many footprints on the ground, and there was even a sticky liquid, probably from the injured corpse, which was said to be blood, but it was actually more like tofu brain.

Since there are zombies injured, it means that there are people inside, and they are trying to prevent the zombies from approaching, but why is there no corpse of a zombie nearby?

Hurting the zombies will only anger them, and it will definitely not help to delay time, I walked quickly to the door of the bath, the zombie tide has passed, and there are no zombies here.

So when I lifted the curtain on the door, I was ready to see the blood flowing, but the bath was clean, and I exited the door and looked again at the footprints left by the zombies.

"They got here, but they didn't get in, there might be a stranger inside." Actually, I guessed randomly, if there was really a stranger present at the time, I wouldn't have let the zombies chase to the door.

Gu Yu didn't rush to answer, he lifted the curtain and entered the door, his sharp gaze swept every corner of the bathhouse, and finally stopped on the bench by the wall.

There was a screen at the entrance to the door, but it was lying quietly on the ground at this time, perhaps the survivor had pushed it down in a hurry when he hid in.

There was a circular pool in the center of the room, which could hold about twelve or three people in a circle, and there were four benches against the wall on both sides, and Gu Yu's eyes fell on the bench on the right wall.

There was a backpack on the bench, we walked over, I picked up the backpack, it felt very light, it was an empty backpack, but it was clean, it was clearly just thrown down.

"It should be that the food is exhausted, and it will not take more than 24 hours to leave." Gu Yu picked up an empty box of canned food from the side of his backpack, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"Going out to find food must be light, let's go to the accommodation building for a walk, maybe there are useful things." Nowadays, it is difficult to define the ownership of a camp, as long as people go to an empty place, it is an ownerless camp, and who knows if the people who left will come back?

The accommodation building has a total of three floors, six rooms on each floor, the kitchen is an independent building with an external connection, the office and reception are in front of the building, and there are also two separate bungalows.

I found three cabbage seeds, two flashlights, and some batteries, and Gu Yu removed a small gasoline generator from the basement, but unfortunately there was no gasoline.

"These people may be fellow travelers." I rummaged through all the rooms and found eleven sleeping bags, six tents, as well as outdoor wind lanterns and hiking backpacks.

"They were lucky at the time." After Gu Yu finished inspecting the basement and office area, we met on the Yonglu road in front of the building, and his office found a map of the nearby mountains.

I showed a puzzled expression, and Gu Yu said, "When they came, there were no zombies here, and there were no nearby mountains. ”

"How do you know?" I then asked.

"Surely you know." Gu Yu smiled.

We returned to the car with the searched supplies, and when the car started again, I suddenly smiled and said, "I know, if there are zombies in the farmhouse, they must have killed the zombies when they came, but we have searched all the places, and we have not seen any traces of burning or burial, so we ......"

I thought I had revealed the truth, and winked proudly in the rearview mirror, but Gu Yu couldn't help but say happily: "Then what if they bury the corpse outside the courtyard, after all, vegetables can be grown in the yard, and no one will bury zombies in the vegetable field." ”

"Well~" Of course I thought about it, but I haven't checked it outside the yard, so it's hard to say, and after thinking about it, I felt a little unconvinced, so I asked:

"What is your basis?"

Gu Yu took out a small notebook from his arms and threw it to the back seat, I took it and saw that it was a work notebook, but of course the content in it had nothing to do with work.

"Wow, you took someone else's diary!"

"The ownerless diary can only be picked up."

"Captain Gu, I have to criticize you, you actually learned to cheat, you know that your character has collapsed?"

"It's too difficult to be with you without collapsing."

I bared my teeth and thought that I couldn't talk about him, so I simply leaned on the back of my seat and carefully looked through the diary in my hand.

It was left behind by a survivor who was the gatekeeper of the farmhouse, and the first diary was dated in October last year, the day of the disaster, which means that the diary was written after the disaster.

I think it might be more appropriate to call it a disaster diary, because the gatekeeper is the only one who doesn't have a fever among all the customers, including the staff.
