Chapter 76: Something Isn't Quite Right
"Sure enough, I was holding the team back."
After listening to the broadcast of "Beetle", Hao Tian leaned back against a huge tree root and sighed.
"What kind of drag is this?" Zhao Dacheng said, getting up and putting the marching bag on her back, so that she could lean on it more comfortably.
Hao Tian smiled: "You really take care of me as a wounded." ”
Zhao Dacheng raised his eyebrows and pointed to Hao Tian's knee: "I have tried this kind of electrical stimulation, and it is more uncomfortable than a real injury." ”
Hao Tian blinked, looked at the bandage on his leg that was fixed decently, and couldn't help but squint and smile at Zhao Dacheng.
Zhao Dacheng paused, and suddenly felt that Hao Tian's face was a little hot. Hurriedly got up and took out compressed biscuits from his marching bag, carefully tore open the wrapping paper, and handed it to Hao Tian:
"First...... Eat something. ”
Hao Tian took it with a smile, and also turned around and took out his canned meat for him: "You can eat it too." ”
The two ate in silence without saying a word.
This is the first time that everyone can shut up when eating together, and in the past, in the cafeteria, which time was not a non-stop chatter.
It was early in the morning, the moon was hanging high above the rainforest, and everything around it seemed very quiet and beautiful.
The night was slightly cool, and the evening breeze in summer was no exception, which made Hao Tian shiver.
Zhao Dacheng finished eating the canned food, and took out a blanket to cover Hao Tian.
With a gun in one hand, he leaned on another stump not far away:
"Sleep, I'll keep vigil."
Hao Tian nodded, she was indeed very tired, so she didn't shirk: "Then I'll sleep for a while, you will definitely wake me up to change shifts later." ”
"Okay." Zhao Dacheng responded.
……
When the sky was dark, Hao Tian woke up slowly.
She slept very soundly this night, and Zhao Dacheng did not ask her to get up and keep vigil in shifts.
But as soon as Hao Tian woke up, he saw Zhao Dacheng holding a rifle and leaning in front of her.
Under the hazy light, Zhao Dacheng's expression was a little serious.
"How-"
Hao Tian abruptly stopped speaking, as Zhao Dacheng turned around and made a silent gesture at her, and then glared at the bushes in front of her right.
Just now, he was nervously facing that direction, blocking in front of Hao Tian.
And at this moment, the "Beetle" hanging above the heads of the two suddenly "beeped", retracted the transparent wings on both sides, and fell straight to the ground in front of them.
What's going on?
Both of them felt that something was wrong, but the situation in front of them did not allow them to think about it.
In the faint morning darkness, there was a rustle of the tall bushes, and the broad leaves seemed to be vigorously scattered to the sides, toppling from side to side.
As the sound got closer and closer, the rustling sound was infinitely amplified, and some of the roars that the two of them were too familiar to be familiar with them came unhindered.
It's the voice of a zombie!
Zhao Dacheng glanced at Hao Tian quickly, the eyes of the two collided, and they were ready to fight in an instant.
In the next second, the last barrier was violently slammed open, and the broad leaves splattered, and a figure jumped out of the green debris in the sky.
Zhao Dacheng and Hao Tian were ready to fight the zombies, but the situation in front of them made them instantly at a loss.
The zombie that rushed out did not wear a mouth cage and gloves like the zombies in the competition, but opened a big mouth with white teeth, and pounced on the two of them like a swift beast.
Seeing that its long sharp nails were about to strangle Zhao Dacheng's neck, Zhao Dacheng first shot at the zombie's big mouth, and hurriedly shouted: "Run!" ”
But as soon as the words came out, he also remembered, how could Hao Tian's current state be able to run?
Now there is only one way to go, and that is to do your best to fight this zombie hand-to-hand.
The zombie was knocked to the ground by Zhao Dacheng's head-on shot, but because it didn't hit the vital point, it only paused slightly, and then pounced on him again.
A pair of sharp nails had pinched Zhao Dacheng's shoulders, which made the rifle in Zhao Dacheng's hand have no room to use.
Hao Tian was in a hurry for a while, pulled out the dagger on his side and ran towards Zhao Dacheng, completely forgetting the pain of the electric shock on his leg.
The zombie had already thrown Zhao Dacheng to the ground, his hands stuck on his shoulders, and he was about to gnaw on his neck when he opened his mouth dripping with saliva.
Zhao Dacheng pressed one hand against the zombie's chin and the other hand on its chest, barely pulling a little distance from the zombie.
A foul smell erupted from the zombie's mouth, and Zhao Dacheng avoided one of its bites, freeing up one hand to reach the dagger at his waist.
Without the blocking of the power of two hands, the second bite of the zombie made Zhao Dacheng unavoidable.
At this time, just listening to the sound of "poof", Zhao Dacheng, who was facing the zombie, saw the tip of a dagger glowing with silver light running out from the center of the zombie's eyebrows.
The zombie on his body stopped moving instantly, and a foul-smelling blood flowed down the zombie's shriveled cheeks and dripped on Zhao Dacheng's face.
Zhao Dacheng pushed away the zombie that was no longer moving with one hand, and Hao Tian's frightened face appeared from behind the zombie.
She still maintained the posture of sticking the dagger into the back of the zombie's head, I don't know if it was too frightened or the pain in her leg was too intense, and a small face was pale, and dense beads of sweat slid down her cheeks.
"I didn't ...... You okay? Hao Tian asked with trembling lips.
"It's fine." Zhao Dacheng grinned, wanting to pull out a little smile to comfort her: "Now your record is a 3." ”
Hao Tian was stunned, and then he realized that he was talking about the zombie hunting results broadcast by the Beetle yesterday, and the expression on his face eased slightly.
"How can this be the same," she looked at the fallen zombies, and reluctantly smiled at Zhao Dacheng and said, "This has to be one top eight." ”
Zhao Dacheng saw that she had come back to her senses, and he also laughed. He scrambled to his feet and examined his wounds.
Fortunately, most of them are abrasions, and there is no risk of being infected by zombies.
He bent down to pick up the two "Beetles" that had fallen aside, took them in his hand and looked at them carefully, and his expression became a little serious:
"I don't think it's right."
"What?" Hao Tian watched his movements, and then looked at the zombie that fell to the side without any protective measures, and his heart was already a little hairy.
"From the goat zombie in the secret passage, to now we have encountered this zombie who doesn't even have a mouth cage and gloves...... Nothing is quite right. Zhao Dacheng said, raised the "Beetle" in his hand again, and continued:
"Now even it inexplicably stops working, which means ......"
He looked up at the already bright sky and looked at Hao Tian with a frown.
Hao Tian looked at the layers of broad leaves, and the answer in his heart was about to come out.
"Something happened at the actual combat base."
The two said in unison.
