The shock brought by the destroyed stronghold and the appearance of the flesh and blood giants has not yet passed, and the first wave of zombies has approached silently.
Lin Musen shouted: "Who is on duty!"
"It's not the time to pursue responsibility!" Liu Yan shouted: "Run east! Find cover! Hold!"
It was pitch black on a rainy night, and the occasional lightning that tore through the sky illuminated a hundred miles around, and a large number of zombies gathered from the rain and mud. The living dead from all directions spontaneously surrounded the factory. Screams and shouts sounded everywhere, and on a rainy night when you could not see your fingers, the sound of gunfire was deafening.
"Don't run into the factory!"
"Help!"
Zhang Min said: "Baby, hide behind me!"
Meng Feng raised his machine gun and bombarded indiscriminately, and shouted: "Where is Liu Yan! Where is Liu Yan!"
The gunmen fought on their own, Zhang Min shouted: "Assemble! Avoid stray bullets!"
A gunshot rang out in disorder, guns exploded one after another in the dark night, the fire started, but was extinguished by the torrential rain, and an unknown number of people died in the middle of the night, and there were miserable screams everywhere. Meng Feng yelled almost in despair: "Liu Yan! Where the hell is your bastard! Get out of here!"
Unexpectedly, his back collided with a person, and Liu Yan shouted: "Here! The gun that let you escape just now was thrown by me!"
Meng Feng seemed to have collapsed, hugged Liu Yan with one arm, and rubbed his forehead fiercely.
Zhang Min shouted: "What should we do now!"
Meng Feng roared: "Let's fight and retreat! Let people come and assemble!"
Liu Yan loaded the flare gun, and a light flew up from the ground, and the number of zombies was much less.
Survivors gradually gathered towards them, and they retreated again and again. At dawn, the rain gradually lightened, and the trees and mountains were shrouded in a dead darkness, and the scenery gradually became clear.
Meng Feng looked around, there were seventeen people left, and they had escaped from the siege of zombies.
Lin Musen was exhausted, and Caesar was shivering in the rain, wrapped in Zhang Min's camouflage jacket.
Excluding the four of them, there are only thirteen people left.
Lin Musen's eyes were empty and dazed, as if he had never expected that his small kingdom that had just taken shape would be completely destroyed in just one night.
"Now we can be held accountable." Liu Yan leaned tiredly against a tree and collapsed on the side of the road.
Meng Feng smiled wryly: "It's useless."
Zhang Min said: "Who is in charge of patrolling at night?"
Lin Musen said: "If you're not here, you should be dead."
Liu Yan said: "Have you all seen that giant?"
Meng Feng said: "What?"
Liu Yan said: "The infrared inspection device only alarms the zombies whose body temperature is slightly higher than normal. The giants are made up of zombies who have died twice. They have no temperature, just like stones and trees. It is normal that there is no alarm."
Zhang Min: "What the hell is that?"
Liu Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and asked, "What should we do now?"
The seventeen people looked at Lin Musen together.
Lin Musen glanced at his subordinates and said, "We have to find a way to get out of here."
"Strategic retreat?" Meng Feng put away the bursting machine gun and buried himself in checking the amount of ammunition on the electronic screen.
"The garage has been destroyed." Zhang Min said, "How to get there?"
Liu Yan said: "I think there are still people alive. Did you find out? At the beginning, there were not so many zombies."
Meng Feng narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded.
"A rough estimate." Meng Feng said, "The last time we went to the barracks, there were nearly 10,000 zombies inside. It's impossible to have such a small scale."
Zhang Min said: "There is only one possibility. They didn't all come over. What we encountered this morning was just the first wave. Almost all of them were wiped out. It's still too late to go back and see. Maybe there are some survivors."
Lin Musen said: "Now, go back and save people..."
Several people turned their heads and looked at Lin Musen.
"Who?" Meng Feng asked coldly.
Lin Musen nodded: "You, you, you, the three of you, bring five people over there, whoever wants to go back to do reconnaissance, stand up."
Liu Yan knew this was the result, but it was just what he wanted, so he winked at Meng Feng.
Meng Feng understood, and said: "It doesn't need five people, just let's go."
Lin Musen said: "Okay, I believe in your ability, if you can rescue them, let's see what else can be used in the factory. I will take people on the highway to find a car. Once I find it, I will come back to pick you up."
Meng Feng said, "Is there a car on the highway?"
Lin Musen said: "When I first moved to the factory, I found three rows of container trucks parked at the intersection of the highway, but I didn't know if there was any gasoline. I sent someone to check at that time, and everything was normal."
Meng Feng nodded, Zhang Min looked at Jueming, then at Lin Musen, Liu Yan made a decision for him: "Jade Ming will follow us."
Zhang Min carried Cassia on his back, handed the ak to Cassia to hold, Meng Feng put one arm in a machine gun, like a mech warrior, and pulled Liu Yan with the other hand, and the four of them stood on the side of the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow walk slowly.
"How many bullets are there?" Zhang Min asked.
Meng Feng: "460 rounds, the bullets are all in the factory, I have to go back and reload."
Zhang Min said: "Let's leave now? Don't wait for them? What if they don't come?"
Meng Feng said: "Liu Yan?"
Liu Yan didn't speak all the way, but now he came back to his senses and said blankly: "What?"
The water on the mountain road washed away the yellow mud and dripped down. Meng Feng asked him to move closer to his side so as not to slip, and asked, "What are you thinking about? A giant?"
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Lin Musen will come to us, all his belongings are still in the factory."
Cassia sneezed and rubbed his nose on Zhang Min's neck.
Zhang Min said: "I still have to go back to find the medicine box. If a minor illness like a cold develops a fever, it will be... an injustice."
They walked along the road for nearly an hour, and Jue Ming was covered with Zhang Min's coat, and fell asleep in a daze.
Liu Yan and Meng Feng were holding hands, standing in front of the ruined factory, the sky was almost bright, and the ground was covered with charred zombies, buildings that had been bombed into chaos, and collapsed dormitories.
Zhang Min put Cassia down, asked him to shelter from the rain under the building, and then patrolled around to make sure there was no danger.
"Is anyone there?!" Liu Yan shouted.
Unexpectedly, there was a gunshot, and Meng Feng shot Liu Yan in the back, smashing a zombie into a sieve.
Liu Yan nodded, expressed his thanks, and walked towards the atrium.
Meng Feng: "Where are you going?"
Liu Yan said: "Take my things, you don't have to come up."
Meng Feng was still naked with his muddy upper body, standing in the atrium, not long after, Liu Yan threw a coat from upstairs for Meng Feng to put on, packed his notebook and toolbox and went downstairs.
"I'll go to the river to have a look." Meng Feng said, "Zhang Min, look here."
Liu Yan hurried past the cafeteria carrying the toolbox, and suddenly stopped.
"God..." His eyes turned red, and his nose felt sore.
Cui Xiaokun's chest was pierced by a steel bar. With his eyes open, he was half-hanging in the air, with his feet below his knees, already gnawed to pieces by zombies.
Liu Yan suppressed the tears welling up in his eyes, and stepped forward to close Cui Xiaokun's open eyes.
Zhang Min said, "Is he your friend?"
Liu Yan nodded: "Roommate, the first to escape together."
Zhang Min sighed.
Liu Yan said: "You search from east to west, and I search from west to east. We will meet here in five minutes."
Zhang Min nodded and said, "OK."
Liu Yan put the toolbox at Cassia Ming's feet, told him not to run around, turned around the dilapidated ruins and started looking for survivors.
"Is anyone there—" Liu Yan shouted.
There was a scream, and Liu Yan quickly ran to the south building. A zombie was lying on the door, reaching into the kitchen to scratch, and Yu Ma's voice from inside cursed: "Go away! Go away!"
Liu Yan shouted: "Hide back!" After saying that, he shot, and the shot missed, and the zombie suddenly rushed towards him, Liu Yan did not dodge, and shot four times in a row. The last shot successfully blasted its head, and the headless corpse fell in front of Liu Yan.
Liu Yan stepped forward and pushed the door: "Mother Yu? Who else is in there? It's safe, everyone can come out."
There was a scream from within.
"careful!"
Liu Yan turned his head suddenly, and a zombie rushed out of the corridor towards him. He quickly leaned his back against the door and shot. In an instant, an iron cabinet fell from upstairs, and hit the zombie with a loud bang.
Liu Yan sweated, and looked up with a gun in the distance, and a flower pot appeared on the third floor.
Liu Yan hurriedly said: "Stop!"
Jueming exposed his head and asked, "Is he dead?"
Liu Yan: "..."
"What are you doing up there?" Zhang Min, who heard the gunshot, hurried over and shouted upstairs.
"Looking for something." Jueming replied, he found his things and came down.
The kitchen door opened, revealing Mother Yu who looked like an old hen behind the door, and two girls hiding inside—Xie Fenghua and Ding Lan. There were also three wounded men.
"Come out." Zhang Min said, and shot the zombie under the closet to the head, opened his arms to let Cassia jump down, and sat down with him in his arms.
Liu Yan: "Are there any survivors?"
Zhang Min: "Not anymore. The supplies on the north and south floors are basically still there. The east and west buildings, factory buildings, and garages are all destroyed. We will gather when Meng Feng comes back."
Meng Feng washed his face by the river, the river rushing with the roaring water from the top of the mountain, broken logs and leaves rushed past. Suddenly felt something, suddenly raised his head.
In the distant wilderness, there were two wet corpses, one lying and the other kneeling.
Meng Feng suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Who?"
Meng Feng quickly set up his upper arm-fired machine gun and waded across the opposite bank.
In the dark cloud and gray sky, Fang Xiaolei lay quietly in the wilderness with her eyes open, another zombie was lying on top of her, motionless.
Meng Feng was dumbfounded: "Fang Xiaolei?!"
Meng Feng gently pushed away the corpse lying on top of her with his gun, and the zombie turned over. It was Xiao Run who had both legs broken, and a small knife pierced his head along the neck.
Fang Xiaolei's neck and shoulders were covered with blood, and she couldn't help convulsing while lying down.
Her lips moved, she stretched out a hand, put two rings in Meng Feng's big hand, held his gun muzzle, and said in a trembling voice.
"Shoot... shoot..."
A shot rang out in the distance.
Inside the dormitory building, Zhang Min raised his gun and fired a signal flare, and the green light flickered under the gray sky.
While Jueming was taking medicine, Liu Yan asked, "What did you get back?"
Cassia showed something out of his coat pocket—a gold medal, another bottle cap, a few Plants vs. Zombies cloth logos.
Four container trucks parked outside, Lin Musen came back just as Liu Yan expected.
"How is it?" Lin Musen led the people out of the car.
Liu Yan said: "It's safe, you can start moving things."
"Where are we going to retreat?" Meng Feng wore a military jacket but did not button it up, showing his bare\naked chest, unloading his machine gun, and moving his sore arms.
Lin Musen didn't answer, but asked instead: "Are all the survivors here?"
Liu Yan said: "Including those behind you, there are twenty-three in total."
Lin Musen sent people to carry things, looked around, sat on the ground in the atrium, and spread out the map.
"City S and City Z in the east, and City F, the capital of the province." Lin Musen said, "It is said that this is the area where the zombie outbreak first broke out in the country. You definitely don't want to go back."
"No." Meng Feng said angrily.
Nobody wants to go back and face the nightmarish city.
"Don't go to the hardest hit area." Zhang Min said: "I suggest going north."
Lin Musen said: "Going to the North Expressway is going out of the province. It was blocked half a month ago. I sent someone to take a look just now. They are full of zombies."
Several people are silent.
Lin Musen said: "I decided to go west and turn to the northwest after leaving the Nanling Mountains."
Meng Feng said, "But that monster came from the west."
Lin Musen said: "It is heading east, its target is not us, and it has already left."
Liu Yan remained silent, Zhang Min said: "Go west, there will definitely be zombies on the road."
"There are zombies in any direction." Lin Musen said, "Where is not an adventure?"
Liu Yan said: "I am in favor of the northwest direction. If possible, I would like to go to the barracks to recover something."
Meng Feng nodded, and Lin Musen said: "In the future, a team of six people will guard the top of the container in shifts, with front guns on them. If there are zombies blocking the way, they can clean them up along the way. As long as the car can walk, everyone is now Go move things, including women! Set off on time in half an hour!"
The crowd dispersed, and six container trucks lined up in front of the road one by one. They took all the supplies they could use into the trucks. Liu Yan roughly calculated that the gasoline reserves were enough for the convoy to travel nearly 5,000 kilometers.
The attendants carried the flour, rice and canned food to the car, and stuffed them into the innermost part of the container, as well as boxes of cigarettes and medicines. Only then did Liu Yan realize that Lin Musen had prepared so many things.
Half an hour later, when everything was almost moved, a younger brother accidentally scratched the skin on the steel bar of the gangster, and the wound turned purple and black.
Lin Musen didn't say anything, just pretended he didn't see it, and still let the younger brother do his work. Finally, before leaving, he asked him to get out of the car, put three packets of biscuits and three bottles of mineral water on the side of the road, and said, "Let's go."
The abandoned servant stood blankly in the middle of the road, watching the convoy of containers leave the ruined chemical plant.
Lin Musen calculated carefully, and finally wasted food, but in front of so many people, the little brother was busy moving things for a long time, and he couldn't be sent to the west with a single shot, it was the most appropriate way.
The four of Meng Feng sat in the container of the last car, the road was bumpy and bumpy slightly.
Liu Yan asked deep in the carriage: "Philosopher, are you still there?"
Xie Fenghua softly comforted Ding Lan who was sobbing intermittently, smoothed her messy hair, and looked at Liu Yan from the innermost part of the carriage.
"What about the writer?" Liu Yan asked, "I suddenly want to hear some stories. Did he survive?"
Xie Fenghua replied: "He left ten days ago. He has a collection of poems and a pillow in his satchel. He can dream at any time during his journey."
Liu Yan said: "Yes, next time you meet someone who can tell stories, you should invite him to stay."
August 26, 2012.
We've been ransacked by zombie hordes since the first time we settled down. A huge monster that no one can speculate about its origin appeared. Meng Feng and I called it the Flesh Giant, and Caesar called those zombies "Scourge." Because of it, we embarked on the journey of escape again.
I need someone with a biology major to consult, but Senior Sister Fang is dead, and her family, relatives, and friends all died in this catastrophe; perhaps seeing Senior Brother Xiao R again is what supports her belief in living. Meng Feng said that Senior Brother Xiao still remembered her, maybe this was her willing destination.
Hope they can be together in the next life.
Zombies destroyed the factory in Yuzhen. We took the few survivors and started fleeing to the northwest again. Along the way, Meng Feng and Zhang Min set up guns on the top of the container truck and cleaned up the small groups of zombies that occasionally appeared on the roadside.
They crossed mountains and ridges, and most of them scattered into the wild, and they did not take the road. It is really a blessing in misfortune.
In the afternoon of that day, I retrieved the No. 3 aircraft left there during the previous operation from the northwest corner of the closed barracks of the Second South China Military Region.
When designing the infrared monitor, Cui Xiaokun, who majored in automation, added a chip and an independent battery for the body. Now that Cui Xiaokun has left us, his invention is still working. content. Might tell us the truth.
May Cui Xiaokun's soul rest in peace.
Meng Feng said to Liu Yan who was writing a diary: "Fang Xiaolei has something for you before she dies, as a souvenir."
He stretched out his palm and spread it towards Liu Yan, and there were two sparkling diamond rings in his palm.
Liu Yan silently picked up the smaller one, and left the larger one in Meng Feng's palm.
