Chapter Fifty-Six: Zombies
The yellow sand was rolling, swept away by the never-ending wind on the distant horizon.
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river, which is particularly desolate.
This is a scene that Jintao Mountain has never seen, but when Fang Guiyuan traveled the world, he had been to such a place a few times, so he didn't think there was anything surprising about it.
"Jingle bell—"
"Jingle bell—"
The bell hanging from the camel's neck swayed with its forward movements, making a crisp sound, and the broad soles of its feet stepped on the sand, one foot at a time.
Fang Guiyuan, whose face was covered with white gauze to keep out the wind and sand, rode on the back of a camel, raising his hand to cover his eyes that were pierced by the dazzling sunset.
The sun in the desert seemed to be much bigger than anywhere else, and even when it was about to go down, the light was much more dazzling than usual.
"It's just been to the periphery, and I haven't entered it yet, it's so ......hot," Fang Guiyuan muttered as Fang Guiyuan kicked the camel's belly with his heel, urging it to speed up.
This is the western part of Xizhou, not far from the desert that Huang Yi told him, along the way, the scenery on the ground has changed from a little green to pure yellow sand, but looking at the river that can still flood, it can be seen that the impact on this place is relatively small.
At least the river hasn't been dried up.
The camel under him was conjured up by Fang Guiyuan for transportation, tireless, not hungry and thirsty, and he didn't need Fang Guiyuan to pay attention to anything at all, it was especially easy to carry.
Ride all the way here, and according to the map, a little more than a little bit of walking, you will see a small town.
The town is very small, and I heard that it is still very depressed, and some people say that the people who can live there are warriors.
But to be honest, it's rare that there will be towns on the edge in this climate, but I don't know if there are anyone who hasn't been forced away?
More than a month ago, the dust settled on Lin Houde and his son, and Boss Huang, who bluffed the laws of the country, was lifted out of the old and became a member of the glorious squatting prison, and the eldest young master Huang Yaozu, as a guy who can cheat his father even if he dies, can be regarded as a life achievement.
Since there was nothing to do, Fang Guiyuan also left Yongcheng and began to rush to Xizhou slowly.
However, because Huang Yi offended Changhui, the overlord of Xizhou, and caused Fang Daochang to bear joint and several responsibility, he walked along the border line of Xizhou for a month, and he didn't dare to take his head at all, for fear that as soon as he appeared, Changhui, who was still burning in anger, would be caught and hit a gopher......
He kicked the camel in the belly a few more times and drove it towards the town ahead.
After walking slowly for another half an hour, Fang Guiyuan finally entered the town.
Due to the drastic changes in the past five years, many residents of the town have moved away, such as those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the local government will also help them move.
Anyway, there are really not many people living here, and since many young people are working outside, they just take their family elders out to enjoy the blessings, and the government does not want to allocate funds to rebuild the town and move everyone to the city next door. So the town is gradually desolate, and the officials above are already discussing whether there is a need for this town to exist.
So if you can still stay here, you have to love this place!
Fang Guiyuan had just arrived, leading a camel in the town, wandering for a long time without seeing anyone, if it weren't for his intuition telling him that there were still people here, he would have been a dead place.
However, after waiting for the temperature to gradually drop, Fang Guiyuan listened to the sound of a car engine, and kept approaching.
An old man in a shimmering spirit, under the moonlight, returned in a very dilapidated trailer converted from a motorcycle.
The car was very bad, and there were several large buckets on the carriage at the back, and Fang Guiyuan knew that it should be filled with water or something.
The old man drove the car straight into the town, and then there was another noise and went to the corner of the town.
It was relatively remote, and Fang Guiyuan hadn't seen it, so he didn't expect that there were still people living there.
When the old man arrived at his destination, he put out the fire, knocked on the door, and shouted out the people inside.
Old men of about the same age, with straight faces, came out, and after a few words together, they began to work together to move the plastic buckets full of water from the trailer into the house.
The wind returned to the clouds, and he hid next to him and listened to it, basically a few old people greeting each other and asking about the situation.
"How's it going today?"
"It's ok. ”
"Oh, then you've worked hard. ”
"Hmm. ”
After this conversation was repeated, the old men did not say anything again until they closed the door after moving their things.
Fang Guiyuan: ......
However, this also aroused Fang Guiyuan's curiosity, he felt that these people should have a little secret, and they were still very interesting.
So Daoist Fang decided to sneak in and take a look.
"Jingle bell-" led the camel to the door, and Fang Guiyuan knocked on the door.
"Bang Bang—"
"Is there anyone?can you open the door?" Fang Guiyuan shouted.
"Squeak—"
After waiting for a pillar of incense, an old man opened the door.
His cloudy eyes narrowed, he looked Fang Guiyuan up and down, and asked him in a thick accent, "Who are you, and how did you come here?"
Fang Guiyuan casually made up an identity, and took out the identity document he had conjured up to hand it to him.
The old man didn't take it, "Let's go, there are many empty houses here, you can transfer one by yourself, don't come to me!"
As soon as the words fell, the old man didn't even raise his eyelids, said casually, and slammed the door shut.
The xenophobic character is revealed.
"Don't!" Fang Dao Chang shouted, his heart was in a hurry, and he reached out to knock on the door.
Then the old and decayed door was rightfully knocked down by him.
Fang Guiyuan: ......
Old man:......
The scene is really embarrassing.
Fang Guiyuan subconsciously wanted to prepare to rip off, but the old man just looked at the door panel that fell to the ground, and then turned around after taking a deep look at him, "...... Come on in. ”
“...... Oh. ”
led the camel into the door, and Fang Guiyuan found that the old man was limping when he walked, and there was something wrong with his left leg.
It's really interesting.
After placing the camels, the old man took Fang Guiyuan to a big house.
There was an orange lamp in the room, and sitting around the lamp were several old men who looked similar.
Those old men watched Fang Guiyuan come in, although their expressions did not change much, but their eyes showed a little unhappiness.
But the old man who brought him in didn't react at all, so they didn't say anything.
"Go there and lie down. He pointed to a corner of the room where the bed was made and the quilt was broken.
Then he didn't pay any attention to Fang Guiyuan, sat down with the others and began to talk.
Since Fang Dao Chang was now using his original body, he looked more like a minor, so he obediently rolled to the corner of the wall and wrapped the quilt tightly, listening carefully to the corner of the wall.
"How's the guys in the desert doing?"
"I've been a little bit more settled recently, and I haven't heard of any movement. ”
"If you don't hear any movement, you really don't hear any movement, why don't you stop probing?"
"What can we do then? Let's go in a little deeper and deliver rations to that thing?"
As they spoke, the old men began to quarrel, don't look at their age, but when they quarreled, they were really more imposing than one another.
In the end, an old man couldn't hold back, and slammed his fist on the table, shaking the cups on the top of the shock.
"That damn zombie! It's still safe to live even if it's dead!"
Stiff...... Corpse?!
So exciting?
Fang Dao Chang raised his eyebrows.
