Volume 1: Stabilize the Waves, Chapter 30: Goal... All are soldiers
"You kid has a lot of tricks!"
Old man Kong carefully observed the few people who followed Wei Lai back. found that although their faces were pale, there was an indescribable anger on their bodies than before, and they couldn't help but praise them from the bottom of their hearts.
you, you old fox.
Wei Lai muttered in his heart, but he didn't take Old Man Kong's sycophants to heart. Instead, he skimmed him over and looked at the villagers who had already risen from the ground as he approached.
"Did you see it all? Zombies aren't actually scary. With weapons in our hands and the courage to fight desperately, they are simply not our opponents. ”
Wei Lai raised his hand behind him as he spoke: "The further you go, the more zombies there will be." I'll kill each of you before you reach safety. ”
"When you find a safe place, I hope each of you will have the courage and strength to face a zombie alone."
Everyone looked at the young people at the front of the line and looked at each other, and some of them were eager to try when they heard this, as if they wanted to experience the feeling of killing zombies with their own hands right now. But there are also some people who are frightened and scared.
Most of these people are villagers who have been working diligently in the village for half their lives. The farthest place they had ever been to was the small town on their doorstep, and they were suddenly asked to exchange their farming tools for killing weapons, and they would inevitably be unable to turn around for a while.
Looking at the villagers who were still a little hesitant, Wei Lai couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Hey, this is how good it is to be protected!" ”
He no longer continued to force these people to accept this result, but silently turned around and continued to lead the team.
Can't accept it now?
It's okay, someone will fix this.
Really... As the team gradually moved forward, the old man Kong, who was the village head, became more and more entangled. He originally thought that Wei Lai just wanted more people to practice their courage and better protect themselves.
Unexpectedly, this young man's request turned out to be that everyone in the team had to experience it for themselves.
What's the point of doing that? Do you really want those children to rush to the front line to fight monsters?
After thinking about it for a long time, Old Man Kong finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, he frowned and asked, "Do you mean that even teenagers are counted?" ”
"Hmm!" Wei Lai replied unhurriedly.
"But they..."
"The way of the world has changed, Uncle Kong." Wei Lai softly interrupted Old Man Kong's words, and his words were full of helplessness. Then he hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice and continued, "And... Those things evolve! ”
"How do you know?" Old man Kong looked shocked, and his expression froze on his face.
Not only that, but even the stone walking beside him had his pupils shrinking sharply. And Kong Yue, who was left at the front of the team by Wei Lai, was even more frightened by the news and almost screamed.
It's just that after noticing Wei Lai's warning eyes, he hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Although it is easy to make people despair when they say this, even if Wei Lai doesn't say it, they will know sooner or later. And he still needs Old Man Kong to convince everyone behind him, so he must also give him an explanation.
And Shi and Kong Yue were Wei Lai's preliminarily selected teammates. It's important to let them know in advance. After all, those things that have evolved are their real enemies in the future.
"Tell me... How the hell do you know? ”
Why don't you say that Old Man Kong, this old guy has become a sperm? Even he was very anxious to know the answer at this moment. But he could still tell which one was light and which was heavy, and he didn't lose his mind and yelled, but just followed Wei Lai's example and pressed his throat to urge.
"I've killed the Green-Eyed Zombie, and it's the Gray-Eyed Evolutionary Thing. The thing had regained some of its sight, and it no longer relied solely on smell and hearing to hunt. ”
As soon as he thought of the green-eyed zombie dog, Wei Lai seemed to recall the feeling of facing death at that time. This made him feel so uncomfortable that even his brow furrowed uncontrollably.
"Really?"
Old man Kong's eyes widened suddenly, and his gaze was dull and speechless. Luckily, his feet were still moving forward mechanically, so the people behind him didn't notice anything unusual.
"Green eyes? Isn't it amazing? Kong Yue stretched her neck and leaned her head over, and asked cautiously.
"The strength of Gray Eyes and Green Eyes is almost the gap between you and me!" Wei Lai's eyes were sharp, and his answer was even more brief and straightforward.
"!"
In Kong Yue's frightened eyes, the honest stone burst out with resentment.
Although Wei Lai's words were simple to say, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to Old Man Kong and the three of them. After all, they had all seen Wei Lai make a move, so they naturally understood how big the difference in strength was between themselves and him.
If you put yourself in line with the young man next to you, even a tall and strong stone knows that he will definitely not have the slightest chance of winning.
At most, he could face two or three zombies on his own. But the young man around him who was about the same age as himself could easily kill six or seven gray-eyed zombies, and this strength was simply overwhelming for them.
If it's against such a powerful green-eyed zombie by yourself...
The consequences?
The three of them fell silent together, not daring to think about it. The team returned to its original lifeless appearance.
……………
When I entered Guquan Town, it was already the afternoon of the same day. It was only a ten-minute drive, and it took them more than half a day to get there.
Speaking of which, the area of Guquan Town is not large, and there are not too many villages under its jurisdiction, most of which are scattered in the east, west and north. If you just take out the town, it's only a few square kilometers.
The reason why Wei Lai chose Guquan Town as a foothold is that it has a small population and a low risk factor. And because he is familiar with the terrain here.
The north side of Guquan Town is close to the mountain, and the other three sides have convenient transportation. Although it looks far from the city, it has a direct road to the city. If you need to go to the city to resupply supplies or something like that, it's also quite convenient.
Wei Lai is not a military strategist, and he doesn't remember the entire map in his head when he is idle, and this is already the most suitable place he can think of as a gathering point...
At this moment, his sword was pointed downwards on the ground not far away. And he, the culprit who had left his arms and legs behind, was leaning against a stout tree and spitting smoke.
Not far away...
"Who hasn't killed a zombie? Come ahead! ”
Old man Kong was calling the names one by one, carefully checking who had not yet slashed the zombies whose hands and feet had been cut off by Wei Lai. The serious look is the same as the ticket inspector on the bus, and he looks down on the still murderous guys on the ground.
Speaking of which, since this shrewd old man digested the news, he seemed extremely concerned about the matter before him. That posture was eager to be achieved overnight, and everyone could get rid of the fear brought by zombies at once.
Compared with Old Man Kong, who has a lot of responsibility, Wei Lai, who just wanted to give them a wake-up call, was not so relaxed. His work along the way is like an assembly line, it's quite procedural!
Chop off your arm... Chop the legs... Knife crossing... The next wave...
It's just untechnical for him.
But it was precisely because of his approach that everyone in the team, even the teenage child, already had a zombie's life in their hands.
The originally lifeless team slowly recovered a little bit of vitality after overcoming their fears.
Of course...
This is the small town in the countryside, where the land area is large but the population is sparse. did not form a large-scale corpse group beyond the scope of Wei Lai's response, otherwise, I am afraid that before these people regain their courage, they will have to be eaten by others as a snack.
"Very well, let's all rest in place!"
After searching and confirming that everyone had dealt with a zombie with their own hands, Old Man Kong ran over and asked eagerly: "Xiao Wei, Guquan Town has arrived, shall we go directly to the town?" ”
"The town? Why go to town? ”
Wei Lai, who was still looking at the distant villages and towns, was instantly pulled back to reality by this sentence, and his eyes were full of questions when he looked at Old Man Kong.
Facing Wei Lai's questioning eyes, Old Man Kong was also a little confused at this moment, he couldn't help but raise his hand and point to the distance and ask, "Ah?" This... Didn't we go all this way just to get to town? ”
Old man Kong's words at this time were all with a bit of trill. If it weren't for the fact that Wei Lai's actions along the way were deeply rooted in his heart, I'm afraid he should really wonder if this young man was playing tricks on himself.
"Of course not!" Wei Lai stepped away from the tree he had been leaning on. grinning and grabbing Old Man Kong's arm and shifting it to the right: "Where we are going, is there!" ”
Old man Kong looked puzzled...
Then he looked sideways and followed his arm, and saw that there were not many neatly arranged buildings and houses in the distance. If you look closely, it turns out to be a warehouse factory with a large area, similar to an industrial zone...
And where he was at his fingertips, there were no other buildings except for a few three-story buildings.
"That's?"
