Chapter 346 The Dark Child in the Gray Cave
Chapter 346 The Dark Child in the Gray Cave
Zuo Zixuan and He Yi were trapped on the roof and unable to leave, and dawn was about to begin.
There was a small group of people on the threshing floor, staggering towards the southernmost part.
The rest of the people continued to wander around the threshing floor like puppets.
The place where Zuo Zixuan and the others were located was a dead end. If they wanted to leave, they had to go through the threshing ground.
The two couldn't think of a way to leave for a while, so they simply lay on the roof to rest and wait for the opportunity.
It was already noon, and the two of them were sitting on the roof eating steamed buns, staring towards the village entrance.
"He Yi, Qingfeng and Hanyang are not here at this time, I'm afraid something has happened."
He Yi chewed the steamed bun in his mouth and sighed.
"Nine times out of ten, something must have happened.
Otherwise, according to Qingfeng's temper, if he didn't see us at this time when we arrived at the destination, he would definitely chase us."
Xu Qingfeng and Fang Hanyang had indeed encountered many disasters along the way and almost lost their lives.
After encountering that wave of zombies on the country road, the two drove very carefully all the way and did not dare to drive fast, for fear that the noise from the car engine would be too loud and attract the zombies.
They moved forward to the city at a snail's pace.
It was already daybreak, and as they were about to enter the city, they both took a deep breath.
This city should be much safer with soldiers defending it.
As a result, when they entered the city, they were dumbfounded. The wide streets were in a mess and there was no one.
"Qingfeng, looking at the situation, I have a bad feeling." Fang Hanyang said with a trembling voice.
Xu Qingfeng tightly gripped the steering wheel, "I think so too. The city won't already be..."
Before he could finish his words, a group of people staggered out from the alley on the left in front.
The two turned their heads and exchanged glances, then immediately turned off the car engine and quickly huddled under the seats.
"Qingfeng, I'm afraid the two of us can't leave the city, right?"
"No, we must find a way to go to the forest farm and bring the professor back."
"With so many zombies on the streets, how are we going to get through the city center and get to the north?"
"Let's counter it..."
Half an hour later, the two men leaned on the car window to observe, and saw that the passing zombies had left, so they quickly got up, started the car and left.
But after driving for less than five minutes, we encountered another wave of zombies.
This went back and forth five or six times.
"If we continue like this, I'm afraid we may not be able to reach the farm in the north by tomorrow night." Fang Hanyang was speechless.
"What can we do?" Xu Qingfeng said in a low voice.
"This guy is no longer a human being. Just drive past him."
Xu Qingfeng reached out and slapped Fang Hanyang on the head.
"Are you stupid?
If the professor develops the serum, wouldn't we have killed a living person?
And, make sure you knock them to death.
Won't it attract more zombies to tear our car apart and then chop us alive for breakfast?"
Fang Hanyang sighed and said nothing more.
The two of them walked carefully all the way and finally reached the direction of the forest farm in the north out of the city.
Just as I was about to step on the accelerator and run away, I heard a lot of roars coming from behind me.
They turned their heads curiously and took a look.
A black Red Flag car with iron railings welded all over its body was surrounded and pushed by a group of zombies, who lifted the car up.
This car looks familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.
"Qingfeng, there are several people in that car." Fang Hanyang pointed anxiously at the rearview mirror beside him.
Xu Qingfeng looked carefully through the windshield of the car. Although he couldn't see clearly, there were indeed several people sitting in the car.
The person who can ride in a car of this specification is either the mayor or the secretary.
I'm afraid we can't just stand by and watch someone die.
I watched the car being smashed to the ground and the zombies climbing onto the roof and jumping around non-stop.
It didn't die from the fall, but if you keep stepping on it, it will probably be crushed to death.
It's damned...
You say those are monsters, but they look like humans.
You say those are human beings, but they are completely unable to control themselves and hurt others.
This time, the two men drove the car back without any discussion.
Fang Hanyang opened the car window, took the gong and the mallet, leaned half of his body out, and started knocking on the zombies behind them.
When the zombies heard the noise, their attention was immediately diverted and they chased after Xu Qingfeng and his group's car.
Xu Qingfeng drove all the way to the forest farm in the north. He still didn't believe that this group of zombies could follow them all the way to the forest farm.
The people in the Red Flag car who were rescued were very worried when they saw the zombies being led away.
"Mayor, that car seems to belong to the army." Secretary Xin said with a trembling voice. He thought he would die here today.
"Yes, they are from the army." The mayor was also scared.
"What should I do now?" The secretary gasped and patted his chest. He really wanted to go home.
"Xiao Wang, see if the car can still be started." The mayor patted the driver who was already frightened out of his wits in the driving seat.
The driver was patted and suddenly woke up, "Okay, I'll check it out right away..."
After knocking four or five times, he started the car and drove away.
Xu Qingfeng and Fang Hanyang made a complete mistake.
Unexpectedly, the group of zombies chased them for thirty miles.
The further back you go, the harder the road becomes.
At this moment, the two of them prayed that there would be no more zombies ahead.
The result was that what you feared came true, and a large number of zombies appeared and wandered on the road ahead.
At first glance, it looked like the same group of zombies they encountered when they came back yesterday.
Not only did the two of them discover the zombies, the zombies also discovered them and rushed over with their fangs and claws bared.
Xu Qingfeng had to turn the steering wheel to the left and rush into the field.
There was water in the field, and the car rushed into the field, skidded and sank into the field, unable to move.
Seeing that the two waves of zombies behind were about to catch up, the two men decisively abandoned the car and fled.
The two men stepped into the field and were stunned.
The mud in the field tightly wrapped around their feet, making running extremely difficult.
It is very easy for zombies to run after becoming single.
This scared them both.
Fortunately, the field was not very big and we ran out in a few minutes.
The two men learned their lesson and did not run into the fields anymore, but ran on the ridges of the fields.
When they reached the end of the run and saw no way forward, the zombies behind them formed a semicircle and gradually moved closer to them.
Xu Qingfeng turned his head to look at the zombies behind him, then turned his head to look at the river in front of him.
“Hanyang, jump down.
I would rather be thrown to death than be caught by them."
Fang Hanyang nodded and jumped into the river.
Xu Qingfeng was dumbfounded. What was he so anxious about? He hadn't even shouted "Ready, go."
Fortunately, the river was deep enough and neither of them was injured after jumping in.
The two men emerged from the river to breathe and looked up at the anxious zombies above.
"Qingfeng, those zombies wouldn't be afraid of water, right?"
Xu Qingfeng frowned and observed carefully. Seeing the anxious look of the zombies, it seemed that they were really afraid of water.
"Don't worry about it. Just follow the river downstream and find a safe place to go ashore."
The two swam about two hundred meters along the river, found a place with stepping stones and climbed up.
Zuo Zixuan and He Yi squatted on the roof, observing the zombies in the threshing ground.
They find it strange that any living thing needs nutrients to survive.
These zombies don’t eat their own kind, and I haven’t seen them eating or drinking. How do they survive?
But Xu Qingfeng and the others had not come yet, and he could not stay on the roof all the time. He had to find a chance to go to the place where the natives lived and collect blood samples.
Then quickly look for Xu Qingfeng and the others along the way.
It is indeed difficult to escape.
Even though he had already replenished his body with poison, he did not dare to use it at will.
After all, the zombies are just human bodies. If they are harmed by poison, even if the serum is developed, it will not be able to save them.
The two men prepared to take out the ladder and build a bridge between the houses.
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The roads in the north are so wide that a wooden ladder cannot connect two houses.
This is really worrying.
There was no other choice but for the two to use their old trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west again.
Zuo Zixuan went downstairs and hid at the entrance of the alley. He Yi climbed onto the roof, lit a firecracker and led the zombies away.
When the explosion sounded, Zuo Zixuan saw that all the zombies were running away in other directions. He quickly ran out of the alley and ran towards the land where the natives lived.
After seeing that all the zombies were led away, He Yi quickly jumped off the roof and ran in the direction where Zuo Zixuan left.
This forest farm is like a maze, and you can see it clearly by standing on the roof.
I couldn't find the way down.
Zuo Zixuan could only rely on her own consciousness and run in one direction.
After running into three dead ends, the two finally stopped at a place with the words "Forest Farm Labor Reform Camp" written in bright red paint on the outer wall.
I heard that this labor camp was built to detain people who were sent to the countryside for reform. Now that those people have been rehabilitated and returned to the city, the place has become deserted.
The iron gate of the yard was wide open, and looking out, there were rows of red brick houses.
Except for the first row of houses, many of the roofs of the houses behind them either collapsed or fell down.
"He Yi, I guess they are in that row of houses." Zuo Zixuan pointed to a row of red brick houses opposite him.
He Yi nodded, "I guess so, there are so many houses here, but that is the only one that is well preserved.
Even if the natives committed a crime, the village chief would not arrange for them to live in a shabby house. "
The two of them tiptoed to the window of the red brick house.
Gently pull open a corner of the curtain on the broken window.
When the curtain was drawn, Zuo Zixuan was shocked.
In the ash hole of the kang facing the curtain, there squatted a dark-skinned child, looking at her with pitiful eyes.
She immediately put down the curtain in her hand.
He Yi, who was standing guard in the yard, turned around and saw Zuo Zixuan's pale face. He quickly hugged her in his arms and asked in a low voice.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
"He Yi, I saw a dark-skinned child squatting in the gray hole of the kang.
I don’t know if it’s a human or a corpse.”
