Qi Peng's lawn mower brigade uses large lawn mowers exclusively for village and town collective agriculture, which are about the same size as large excavators.

The front wheels are small, the rear wheels are high, and they have a strong recoil, and there are two sets of lawn mowing equipment in the front and rear, which are like walking on the ground in the crazy mutated flora.

After the ability and mechanical modification, each lawn mower has been expanded to expand the space of the control room, and a machine can seat 6 people.

One of them was a fixed driver's seat, with Qi Peng sitting in front to operate the lawnmower, and the remaining five seats sat Lu Sheng and the three girls, plus Qi Yue and another little girl of about seventeen or eighteen.

In order to save space, Lu Sheng temporarily threw Zhuang Zhuang and the rocket into the space, leaving three boys and a few villagers to huddle on a lawn mower in the back.

Qi Yue tied a hemp rope to the neck of the scavenging pig, and the person sat in the car, and the pig followed on the ground.

Lu Sheng glanced sideways and looked back, and found that there were ten scavenging pigs, tied up in a string by hemp rope, and honestly followed the lawnmower.

"You're going to K3 too?"

Qi Yue hugged Lu Sheng's arm excitedly when she heard the word, "Great, then let's stop by the way, you can rest assured that you can take our lawn mower!" ”

After speaking, she caught a glimpse of the background board staring at her next to her, and hurriedly added in embarrassment, "Everyone, let's be lively, otherwise the road will be boring." ”

Then he grabbed a handful of corn beans from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of Lu Sheng and the three of them.

It is the kind of small snack that can occasionally be bought on street carts before the end of the world, pure corn kernels are fried with sugar and salt, crispy and delicious.

"There are so many of you, are you ready to join the K3 base?"

Lu Sheng slowly chewed the dried and fragrant corn beans, and looked at Qi Peng and Qi Yue quietly.

This family is a rare warm-hearted person in the last days, and their attitude is friendly and natural, so they don't make people feel uncomfortable.

But after almost four years of post-apocalyptic life, she still has an instinctive wariness of strangers.

"We're doing a good job in the village, so we don't go to the base!"

Qi Yue shook her head again and again, "The K3 base sends a message on the radio to receive food, and we don't have much food in our village, so we want to exchange the excess grain for some industrial products." ”

"We farmers don't have any skills, the only ability is to be able to farm and raise pigs, although we don't have to worry about food, but there are too few other materials." Qi Peng turned his head from the driver's seat and smiled innocently at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng's three eyes met, and their vigilance relaxed a little.

No wonder these people are so enthusiastic about people, it turns out that they have never been hungry, and they don't know that they can kill people in the last days for a bite to eat.

As long as people are full, they will be in a good mood and more friendly to people.

"But after the acid rain, a lot of soil has been corroded, and you can't grow food at all, haven't you been affected?"

Sun Tiantian curiously glanced at the scavenging pig outside.

All of them are fat and healthy, and they have never been hungry at first glance.

"The people in the village are all awakening agricultural abilities, such as powerful fertilizers, shortening the growth cycle, optimizing soil, and some insect removal."

When it comes to the areas they are good at, Qi Yue and Qi Peng are obviously full of energy.

Lu Sheng and the others were dumbfounded.

It's really a specialization in the art industry, and professional things have to be done by professional people.

"There was more grain in the village than in the harvest years before the end of the world, and the warehouse doors were almost closed. But we don't have the conditions to make normal daily necessities, so we want to exchange some food and K3 bases. ”

After Qi Peng's explanation, Lu Sheng and the others finally let down their guard.

Anyway, it was fellow travelers, and several people sat on the bumpy lawn mower talking and laughing, and before they knew it, they walked more than ten kilometers.

Finally, the lawn mower brigade took Lu Sheng and them to the outskirts of the city dozens of kilometers away from the K3 base.

The night was dark, and the highway occupied by mutated animals and plants was eerie. The light from the fog lamps will shine on the toll booth not far away, which has been occupied by wild grass.

The boundless darkness of the night is like a huge mouth ready to devour everything, eerie and silent.

Before he got off the lawnmower, Qi Peng leaned out of the window and looked around, and a feeling of unease rose in his heart.

"There's something evil about this place."

Having been with plants on the edge of the field all year round, Qi Peng has a keen sense of smell for these things.

After the fall of eternal night, although the world was shrouded in darkness, the rest of the creatures except humans evolved to adapt more to their environment.

The sound of the lawn mower is so loud that animals and plants that are normally hiding in the shadows will be alarmed.

But right now, it's quiet and nerve-wracking.

Not to mention the mutant animals that are rampage on weekdays, there is not even a single annoying cicada chirping bird.

Lu Sheng picked up the flashlight and swept it at the hideous and messy bushes next to him, only to see a shriveled and withered vine.

Most flying insects are phototaxis, especially after the natural light disappears completely in the Eternal Night Era, and the flashlight is a fatal attraction to these mosquitoes.

But Lu Sheng's flashlight shook a few times, and even a small flying insect didn't attract it.

There must be something wrong around here.

"Brother Qi, are we still going to the K3 base?" Another little girl in the car, who was silent all the way, asked timidly.

Qi Peng leaned over and looked around again, gritting his teeth, "Go, why don't you go." There is only this bit of lighting left in the village, and if we can't exchange the supplies, we won't be able to go back. ”

Paying attention, the lawn mower brigade slowly drove in the direction of the toll booth.

This expressway is the only way to connect the imperial capital and neighboring provinces, and the scale of the toll booth is very large.

There is a large supermarket in the service area, and there are scattered supporting facilities.

The convoy slowly drove to the toll gate, and Qi Peng suddenly beckoned to stop all the lawn mowers behind him.

It's quiet, it's so quiet around.

A sense of tension arose from everyone present.

It was eerily quiet, and the sound of their breathing was distinct.

"It smells of blood."

Xu Yi and the others jumped out of the car first, came to Lu Sheng's car and knocked on the door.

In the turbid and stuffy air, there was a faint pungent fishy smell.

Unlike the usual smell of blood, this smell was also mixed with the smell of some old and rotten wood, which went straight down the nasal cavity to the Tianling Gai, and the smoker burst into tears.

Xu Yi's voice fell, and there was an uproar in the lawn mower brigade.

Most of these abilities are related to farming, and combat abilities are very rare. If there is any unexpected situation, they do not have a lot of combat experience.

"Can you take a detour?" Someone in the team asked nervously.

Qi Peng scratched his forehead in embarrassment, "No, there is only this highway nearby that can be passed, and the rest are dirt roads that have not yet been built, and there is no way to drive at all." ”

"There's no way, both horizontal and vertical are here, and it's hard to get through."

Qi Peng glanced at the villagers, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Piggy, hurry up and smell it, is there any danger nearby?"

Instead of being afraid, Qi Yue was a little eager to try, untying the scavenging pig that had eaten the swamp beast before, and rubbing its nose affectionately.

The scavenging pig was very humane, and after calling Qi Yue twice, he ran to the toll booth with high spirits.

"Can a pig do it?" Han Rui stood on tiptoe and looked at him uneasily.

Lu Sheng took out a head-mounted miner's lamp and distributed it to a few people, "Don't underestimate pigs, pigs' sense of smell is two to three times that of dogs, and there have been search and rescue pigs before the end of the world." ”

A few people were talking, and suddenly a terrible animal cry came from ahead.

The scavenging pig, which had just run out not far away, suddenly ran in fright, and rushed back with an oh scream.

Zhang Xiaojuan's position was just facing the direction where the pig rushed over, and it was too late to dodge when she heard the sound, and she was hit into the ditch by the scavenging pig on the spot.

A tall fifth-order zombie suddenly rushed out of the toll booth supermarket and rushed to everyone.

The zombie was still wearing the uniform of the toll booth, its scarlet eyes flashing with a strange fierce light in the night, and it screamed and pounced on the defenseless villagers with its bloody mouth open.

The villagers had never seen such high-level zombies, and they were so frightened that some threw down their lawn mowers and fled, while others were frightened and collapsed in place.

Qi Yue stood in place stunned, looking at the behemoth that was close at hand with a frightened look.

The scavenging pig that had already run away saw that the little master was in danger, and immediately turned around and ran back, slamming into the calf of the fifth-order zombie.

Compared to the juicy human girl, the fifth-order zombie obviously had little interest in pigs, and its sharp claws thrust into the neck of the scavenging pig, and casually tossed the pig aside.

The scavenging pig was badly injured and lay on the ground making a weak breath sound.

Seeing that the sharp fangs were about to bite off Qi Yue's head, Lu Sheng quickly took action and wrapped the zombie's neck with an electric python, struggling to drag it to his side.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Tiantian tacitly took out the ice blade, and stabbed it into the rancid mouth without waiting for the fifth-order zombie to resist.

The thick black plasma splattered all over the ground, and Sun Tiantian easily took out the crystal nucleus and gave it to Lu Sheng.

At this time, Qi Yue finally recovered from her panic and immediately rushed to the scavenging pig that fell on the side of the road.

"Satsuki! Come back! ”

At this moment, Qi Peng suddenly shouted, dragging Qi Yue and the scavenging pig to retreat frantically.

Before the villagers could reflect from the horror just now, they saw a huge head suddenly pop up in the direction of the toll booth.

It's black and sticky, like pork belly just pulled out of oil, which makes people feel tired at a glance.

The giant's facial features can no longer be seen, the skin on his face has fallen off, the two black holes can't see the eyeballs clearly, and there are only two small holes left in the nose.

The dense swirling teeth in the mouth were creepy, and a black tongue of flesh shook with wheezing.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The next moment, two duck palm-like webbed forelimbs suddenly opened the barrier at the entrance of the toll station, and the whole body of the behemoth finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The monster's whole body looked as if it had just come out of the mud, and its short, strong hind limbs slowly moved and approached.

A villager accidentally falls to the ground while escaping, immediately attracting the monster's attention.

The duck's forelimbs quickly swept past, and the villager instinctively released a huge fireball in panic.

In the next second, the fire was shining.

The fire dragon instantly devoured the villagers, burning them to black charcoal in just a few seconds.

"Be careful, this zombie is an oil mutant." Lu Sheng reminded him.
