Chapter 192
In the blink of an eye, it was early July, and three days had passed. The survivors of the small town successfully escaped with the help of Cao Baoyang. After taking the "special medicine" for seven days, his appearance returned to the appearance of an ordinary child.
Cheng Yifeng also got rid of the hypnosis control the night before the corpse tide. After he woke up, he told me something that Lan Jingjing had never said before. I still thought it simple.
However, I will not have any interaction with her in the short term, so she can be left to talk about her later. At present, Gu Yu is driving an off-road vehicle, and the purpose of us coming out this time is to find a bargain.
When corpses pass through the border, in those corners and places where people go to empty, they may find useful resources. Things we cannot produce, such as fuel and batteries, are our main targets for searching.
We pulled back several sets of solar energy equipment for household use before the tide of corpse. Now it is very convenient for everyone to take a shower. Ye Lei and Xia Jinyan also got more than a dozen long water pipes, sprinklers, water pumps, and motors for irrigation.
Outside the open car window is an endless green field. The ice and snow melt and spring returns to the earth. The small river in the city is very powerful. Vegetables and grain are planted on both sides of it.
I missed homesick just now when I went out. I felt helpless about my "home love". Who made life in the small town peaceful and peaceful, while the outside world is still devastated?
The snow layer on the road has completely melted away, and the abandoned cars and bones buried in the snow have been exposed to the sun again. A large number of dead bodies will cause epidemics when passing through the high temperature.
But there are too many corpses. Even if you want to clean them up, there may not be enough manpower. Moreover, this project is huge. Whether it is digging a hole and burying it or burning it in a centralized manner, it will take a long time to complete.
The wilderness and highways are pretty good, but the situation in entering the city is getting worse. The bodies that died of high fever were lying in major medical institutions without anyone dealing with them. In addition, the zombies were killed and those who died accidentally while escaping, they were simply nightmares for the city when they came in summer.
This does not include crashed planes, stopped trains and long-distance buses and other means of transportation. The bodies inside are like expired cans. I even saw zombies in the trains and cars that still have the ability to move.
They are in a closed space and cannot respond to the call of the Corpse King. Perhaps the temperature in winter is low, which plays a certain role in preservation, or the virus maintains a stable state, their skin is severely rotten, and the muscle tissue under the skin is still what I have seen before, protecting muscles and bones like a new "epiderm".
Now that everything is revived and they are active again, I guess it is those dark muscles that help them resist the severe cold. I believe the zombie army is the same. The facts prove that ordinary low-temperature environment is not fatal to them.
Because I was afraid of missing the stronghold where the supplies were stored, Gu Yu and I did not plan to use teleportation devices and drove the car to search by area.
When a vehicle blocks the road, it will explode on a large scale. His air bomb is better than a bomb. He can control the air to bounce off all obstacles blocking the road, but will not blow up the road surface.
It’s okay to say that the rural roads are fewer vehicles and few corpses. Large areas of weeds and wild flowers grow in the abandoned farmland, and the air is very fresh.
Gu Yu now has a farmhouse built on the hillside, with an independent courtyard, which can accommodate and have a restaurant. Behind the courtyard is a separate vegetable garden.
"Let's go and see, the tide of corpses has arrived here." Gu Yu drove the car up the small road in the mountain.
The courtyard gate of the farmhouse was destroyed by external forces and fell to one side. There were a lot of footprints printed on the door panel. If you carefully identify them, you can see the palm prints.
The gray brick courtyard walls on both sides also had signs of climbing. Around 100 meters away from the courtyard wall, dozens of zombies were corpses of zombies.
They either have gun holes or swords and axes on their bodies, and some have only half of their heads. They are obviously smashed with stones and the edges of the wound are irregular.
There was once a fierce battle here, or it could be said to be a defensive battle. The survivors living in the farmhouse were close to each other and organized fierce attacks.
Unfortunately, the number of corpse tides is far beyond people's imagination. If I were them, if the situation is wrong, I would choose to escape immediately.
When I entered the yard, I saw many corpses lying on the ground, including zombies and humans. Human corpses are relatively fresh.
"They haven't become zombies." I walked up to a corpse, stood beside him and looked down. There were three wounds on the man's body, the fatal one on his chest, but the knife wound was.
The same is true for the other corpses. They were all killed by humans. I remember that zombies ate dead meat, and Mr. Han was fed Nini with dead meat.
But it was obvious that the zombies attacked here were not eaten. Several corpses died at the hands of similar people, and there were no scars caused by zombies on their bodies.
"Zombies are starting to pick on food." Gu Yu glanced at the corpse on the ground, "These people died before the zombies rushed into the yard. The zombies went there with their blood."
Gu Yu's eyes followed the bloody footprints on the ground and looked to the side of the farmhouse accommodation building. All the footprints were heading towards that direction, and no zombies entered the small building where they were staying.
This shows that there are no living people in the building. Gu Yu and I followed our footprints directly to the back of the building. There is a leisure and entertainment area behind the building, with bamboo forest stone tables, and of course the bamboos are all fake.
There is also a greenhouse for people to experience the fun of picking. Behind the greenhouse is an artificial lake. There is a wooden house by the lake, where you can play cards and chat in summer.
There are too many zombies. When we get here, we can no longer tell which building they are targeting to launch an attack. There are traces of their trampling and rushing everywhere.
"Public bath." Gu Yu pointed to the hillside on the higher side of the yard, where there was a pebbled staircase, two antique wooden houses, and the signs of men's and women's bathing places were hung on the lintel.
"Is it a hot spring?" I jumped up the steps, and there were still many footprints on the ground, and even sticky liquid. It might have been flowing out of the injured zombie. It was said to be blood, but it was actually more like tofu brain.
Since a zombie is injured, it means that someone is inside and trying to stop the zombies from approaching, but why is there not a zombie's body nearby?
Injuring zombies will only anger them, and it will definitely not delay time. I quickly walked to the entrance of the bathhouse. The tide of corpses had passed, and there were no zombies here.
So when I opened the curtain on the door, I was ready to see the blood flowing into a river. As a result, the bathhouse was clean. I left the door and looked at the footprints left by the zombies again.
"They got here, but they didn't go in. There might be psychics inside." Actually, I was guessing randomly. If there were psychics present at that time, the zombies would not have been chased to the door.
Gu Yu didn't rush to answer the conversation. He lifted the curtain and stepped into the door, swept his sharp eyes across every corner of the bathhouse, and finally stopped on the bench by the wall.
There was a screen where I entered the door, but I was lying quietly on the ground. Perhaps the survivor hid in and pushed it down in a hurry.
There is a circular pool in the center of the house. If it is surrounded by a circle, it can be equipped with about twelve or three people. There are four benches on both sides against the wall. Gu Yu's eyes fell on the bench against the wall on the right.
There was a backpack on the bench. We walked over and I picked up the backpack. It felt very light. It was an empty backpack, but it was very clean and it was clearly thrown down soon.
"It should be that the food is exhausted, and the time to leave will not be too late." Gu Yu picked up an empty can from his backpack and put it under his nose to smell it.
"It is definitely lightweight to go out to find food. Let's go to the accommodation building, maybe there are useful things." It is difficult to define the ownership of the camp now. As long as people go to empty places, they are unowned camps. Who knows whether the people who leave will come back?
The accommodation building has three floors, each floor has six rooms. The kitchen is an external independent building. The office and reception are both in front of the building, and there are two separate bungalows.
I found three varieties of vegetable varieties, two flashlights and several batteries. Gu Yu removed a small gasoline motor from the basement, but unfortunately there was no gasoline.
"These people may be hikers." After I looked through all the rooms, I found eleven sleeping bags, six tents, outdoor wind lights and mountaineering backpacks.
"They were very lucky at that time." After checking the basement and office area, we met in the corridor in front of the building, and his office found a map of the nearby mountainous areas.
I showed a puzzled expression, and Gu Yu said, "When they came, there were no zombies, and there were no nearby mountains."
"How do you know?" I continued.
"You must know, too." Gu Yu smiled.
We returned to the car with the searched supplies. When the car drove back, I suddenly smiled and said, "I understand. If there were zombies in the farmhouse, they would definitely have killed the zombies when they came, but we searched everywhere and had never seen any signs of burning or burying, so..."
I thought I had revealed the truth, and blinked in the rearview mirror proudly, but Gu Yu couldn't help but say happily: "What if they buried the body outside the yard? After all, vegetables can be grown in the yard, and no one will bury zombies in the vegetable field."
"That's it~" Of course I thought of it, but I haven't checked it outside the yard, so it's hard to say. After thinking about it, I felt a little dissatisfied and asked:
"What is your basis?"
Gu Yu pulled out a small notebook from his arms and threw it into the back seat. I took it and saw that it was a work note. Of course, the contents in it had nothing to do with work.
"Okay, you took someone else's diary!"
"The ownerless diary can only be considered a pickup."
"Captain Gu, I have to criticize you. You actually learned to cheat. Do you know that your character has collapsed?"
"It's too difficult not to break up with you."
I bared my teeth and thought I could not tell him, so I simply leaned on my back and carefully looked through the diary in my hand.
This is left by a survivor, who is the gatekeeper of the farmhouse. The date of the first diary was last month, the day the disaster broke out. In other words, this diary was written only after the disaster.
I think it might be more appropriate to call it a disaster diary, because the gatekeeper is the only one who has not burned out among all the customers of the farmhouse, including the employees.
