Wu Chan felt something was wrong.
These two giant pythons are not evil monsters, but they are both over fifty meters long. It is not an exaggeration to call them dragons. It is common knowledge that the original creatures in the old city were much larger than before the disaster, but Wu Zen had never seen them so huge.
He had a hunch that something else was happening in the old city of D1103.
Ma Mang's voice came from the car intercom. As the boss of the resource recovery team, he had entered the old city far more times than Wu Chan. He had the same concerns as Wu Chan. Returning was impossible, and all everyone could do was be extra careful.
The route from south to north on the map is a 45° straight line as a whole. The location of the ruins and remains is clearly marked, but what the map cannot mark are the numerous thick tree roots that protrude from the surface. The tree roots higher than the front of the car forced the convoy to turn around, and the short route became as complex as a maze. Wu Chan initially expected to enter the D1103 Old City in three hours, but now that night was coming, the convoy could not even reach the old city. Haven't seen the outline yet.
Darkness in the forest always comes earlier. Wu Chan looked at the time. At 16:53, he stopped the car.
As soon as the car stopped, the entire convoy stopped with it.
Commander-in-Chief Gao Jie asked Wu Chan on the car intercom why he stopped.
Wu Chan replied: "It's almost six o'clock."
Gao Jie said: "Keep it up, we will have dinner at Zhiguo after entering the old city."
Wu Chan said: "I'm afraid you will die."
This was said rudely, and the conversation would be heard by all the bosses.
If Gao Jie didn't fight back, he would lose his prestige, but since the opponent was Wu Chan, he could only endure it.
The intercom is silent.
Someone tried to smooth things over by saying, "At six o'clock, the zombies leave."
The speaker was a woman, the only female captain in the fighting team—the boss of Fallen Swan, Dong Qiaoxi.
Gao Jie usually stays behind the wall of darkness at night, and zombie night attacks usually occur between 8:30 and 9 p.m. He was used to this time period and ignored that it would take time for zombies to run from the old city to the new city.
After Dong Qiaoxi's reminder, he suddenly realized and ordered the workers to prepare to camp.
The terrain in the forest was damp and narrow, and the people sent out to explore it found no spacious place for a hundred people to camp.
Wu Chan said on the walkie-talkie: "Get ready to cut down the trees."
Gao Jie was about to say that everyone would suffer a little tonight and just spend the night in the car, but he was afraid that his inexperience would be exposed again, so he kept silent.
The bosses of the resource recovery team all understood Wu Chan's intentions.
Everyone split up and found a space with relatively few trees. The trees here are thick enough to be surrounded by ten people, and the thinnest ones can be surrounded by at least two people. To chop down a tree, everyone must work together, and the direction in which the tree falls is extremely important. Once the tree falls in the opposite direction, it will kill one of your own.
Gong Tiantian and Chu Kuang volunteered to ask for the courage to cut down the tree. They had been holding back all day, and they couldn't get their hands on the python when killing it in the afternoon. They just needed to stretch their muscles at this moment.
Chu Kuang has fallen in love with weapons like chainsaws since his last adventure with Wu Chan in the old city. Before setting off this time, he specially asked a mechanic to modify a high-power electric saw, and the saw chain was made by the knifesmith of the forge.
Chu Kuang turned on the switch, and the chainsaw buzzed wildly. It cut into a tree with a small trial, and sawdust scattered everywhere, which made Chu Kuang very satisfied.
Gong Tiantian couldn't bear to see Chu Kuang being so proud and said, "Do you dare to compete?"
Chu Kuang said: "What's the competition? Who can chop down trees faster?"
Gong Tiantian said: "Nonsense. Otherwise, there is nothing to compare with."
Chu Kuang said: "Then you are destined to lose."
Gong Tiantian pulled out two axes: "Let's bet a thousand yuan."
Chu Kuang said: "It's so little, at least ten thousand."
The income of the resource recycling team was much higher than that of the waste incineration station. What's more, Chu Kuang didn't even have a girlfriend and had almost no place to spend money. Naturally, he had much more pocket money than Gong Tiantian.
Gong Tiantian felt that Chu Kuang was deliberately making things difficult for her.
Gan Xiaoyi said: "Sister Gong, I'll lend it to you."
Gong Tiantian would not borrow from anyone but Gan Xiaoyi, so she said to Wu Chan: "Boss, please advance my salary of 10,000 yuan."
Wu Chan said: "You are not allowed to gamble at such a young age."
Gong Tiantian said: "Didn't you dance with me at the graduation prom? It means that I am an adult."
There was not enough time to let Gong Tiantian talk nonsense, Wu Chan said firmly: "I can't tell, I won't."
Gong Tiantian let out a disappointed sound, and then heard the boss continue: "But healthy competition is okay. You and Chu Kuang compete with each other. If you want to win, I will teach you a trick."
! ! !
The people around him suddenly pricked up their ears.
Gan Xiaoyi and Tu Shuang asked to participate.
Gong Tiantian said anxiously: "You are not allowed to rob me."
She struck the giant tree with an axe.
Although her ax is small in size and very light, it is polished from the fangs of a whale-level monster like Wu Chan's long knife. The hardness of the bark and trunk itself only plays a small hindrance. Gong Tiantian's two axes He cut into the core of the tree, then turned around and struck two more times with the axe. A giant tree surrounded by three people fell to the ground.
Chu Kuang also felled a giant tree almost at the same time, and the two were evenly matched.
Gong Tiantian shouted to Chu Kuang, who had increased his Evil Transformation Value: "Don't use your superpowers if you have the ability!"
"The evil transformation value is not my superpower."
Chu Kuang swung the chainsaw and chopped down the second giant tree, provocatively saying: "I don't mind if you use your superpowers if you can."
Once Gong Tiantian's super power takes effect, she will transform into the most professional lumberjack. But the biggest drawback of her superpower is that it takes time to prepare. In a race against time like this, Gong Tiantian will suffer a loss when using her superpower.
Chu Kuang knew this and deliberately angered her.
Gong Tiantian turned her anger into strength and accelerated the speed of chopping the axe.
The two of them chopped down the second giant tree almost at the same time. Just as they were about to attack the third giant tree, they heard a boom, boom, boom, boom - seven or eight giant trees fell outward at the same time. Wu Chan used the ferocious leopard to There is not much difference between cutting down trees and mowing grass with the tip of the gun.
Gong Tiantian and Chu Kuang were dumbfounded.
Gong Tiantian said: "Boss, how can you be a player and a referee at the same time!"
Wu Chan said: "I can do it."
Gong Tiantian said: "Boss, you are bullying a child!"
Wu Chan said: "Who just said that he is an adult."
The combatants showed their talents, and an open space was soon cut down. All vehicles are connected end to end, forming a circular defensive barrier to protect everyone in the middle.
If there are only seven or eight people, a heat insulation layer should be surrounded by fireproof cloth outside the defensive barrier.
But now that there are so many people, the fireproof cloth is no longer effective.
The time had passed six o'clock unknowingly, and the forest was as dark as thick ink. The combatants hiding behind the vehicles had already prepared their weapons. The workers held their breath, not even daring to take a breath.
Gao Jie kept staring at his watch with a bright screen. It was already 6:10, but the zombie still didn't appear. He estimated that the zombies were swarming into the new city through another route. The current tense atmosphere was all because of Wu Chan's fuss.
He felt that he could take this opportunity to say a few words about Wu Zen, thereby regaining some of his prestige.
He said: "Boss Wu."
Wu Chan didn't even look back: "Say."
Gao Jie said: "I think the zombies won't come. Can we set up camp?"
Wu Chan said: "At least wait until seven o'clock."
Gao Jie was about to say what if it wasn't already at seven o'clock when he suddenly smelled an unpleasant smell.
This stench comes with the wind, but it doesn't come from all directions, but -
Wu Chan raised his head.
Two huge black shadows floated across the dark night sky of the forest like a blanket of black clouds.
The black shadow suddenly shook, shaking off dozens and hundreds of debris.
The Crumb roared as it fell.
Wu Chan roared;
"It's a zombie!"
