Chapter 555
This city is the same as Haishi. It has been hit by a tornado that is rare in a century, and the foundation is left in such a large modern city.
There were three cities disappearing from the horizon on the way to the new camp, which was the number we saw without changing the established route.
If the scope is expanded, we may see more affected cities. The tornado we encountered has never moved, so the tornado that hit Inner Mongolia and Northern Province will definitely not be the same.
When Gu Yu encountered a city that was attacked, he got off the car and went to check it out. He believed that the three cities were attacked at the same time.
It is not surprising that several tornadoes were formed at the same time. What's strange is that they attacked the city with very precise accuracy, and Gu Yu found that there was no metal in the falling city wreckage.
This is the same as lightning that it will not hit the same tree twice, not to mention that the demon wind seems to have a special liking for metal. If their goal is to absorb a large amount of metal, then the city is undoubtedly the best source of 'food'.
At first I was worried about the new camp, but I heard from Gu Yu that the new camp was an old mining area and that I had no metal components to feel at ease.
This gust of demon wind comes and goes without a trace, and there is no weather forecast now, so it is really difficult to prevent it in advance.
We can only pray that it is an accidental event and will not appear every few days, otherwise the survivor camps will have to be renovated and all moved to the ground.
The car entered the Shuangshi area, but it was still nearly 100 kilometers away from the mining area we were going to. The road was sparsely populated and there were no bandits.
Gu Yu ordered a day off in Shuangshi. Even if people don’t rest, the car will be off, otherwise the engine will be destroyed.
The iron nets of Shuangshi are already incomplete, and I don’t know how many zombies are left in the city. We stopped in front of the gas station outside the city, and Gu Yu sent Long Tao and Chen Dong to explore the way forward.
Hu Tao refuels the car and cools the water tank. I, an amateur who doesn't understand cars, can see that the water tank is about to boil.
It is easier to cool down in winter, but it also takes time. I took Pan Yijia off the car and took a ride for more than ten hours, and my lower limbs were blocked from blood circulation.
"Ah~" Qiuqiu suddenly tilted his head and stared at the snow field on the roadside, as if he had discovered something.
I only saw the dazzling white snow. I didn't notice anything unusual. I sniffed and sniffed carefully the smell in the air.
There is no smell of living people. I thought to myself that as long as it is not a robber, they have caused too many troubles, which makes people tired.
Gu Yu and Hu Tao were shoveling snow on the roadside together to melt the snow into water. When they heard the roar of Qiuqiu, they turned their heads and looked at us.
"Is there any situation?" Gu Yu asked.
"He seemed to have discovered something, I didn't smell human." My eyes were always on the snow field, afraid of missing a slight slight disturbance.
"Hmph~" Qiuqiu made a nasal sound that was turning around, and his two light eyebrows were tightened, as if he was trying hard.
Could it be that it was pulled? I held his hand and subconsciously touched his butt, but it was covered with a quilt, so I couldn't figure out anything if I touched it like this.
sand……
The sound of Xue Luo was very obvious. I quickly looked up and found that a big pit suddenly appeared in the snow, which was less than fifty meters away from us.
The sound of "sand" was caused by the snow on the surface falling into the pit. The zombies' hearing was stronger than that of ordinary people. Of course, there was also the pit that was too close to us.
Gu Yu pulled out his plane weapon, walked to the edge of the pit and looked down, saying, "It's a human bone pit."
"Human bone?" Hu Tao held a gun and covered Gu Yu. When he heard that there were bones in the pit, he frowned and asked, "Is it the cannibals who did it?"
We have also encountered camps that were attacked by cannibals along the way. Most of the camps are small villages, with a small population and low combat power.
When we passed by, we could see piles of white bones piled up at the entrance of the village. It was completely unnecessary to put them into public. That might be the evil taste of the cannibals.
So when Long Tao heard that there was someone’s bone pit, he thought of the cannibals.
"They won't dig holes and bury bones," Gu Yu shook his head and said.
"It's all frozen soil now, and there's no reason for them to waste their energy doing this." I don't think the cannibals will be kind enough to hold a funeral for the 'food'.
What I am curious about is why Qiuqiu can find human bones under the snow layer?
These bones have no fresh smell of flesh and blood, and they have obviously died for a long time.
Since there is no smell of blood, how did Qiuqiu notice it?
Could it be...
"Gu Yu, be careful!" Before I could express the guess in my mind, a snow bag bulged out from the snow near Gu Yu's feet.
Gu Yu immediately flashed to the side. He was agile and agile, moving faster than the thing under the snow bag.
Therefore, when the thing under the snow bag came out, Gu Yu had moved to a place two meters away.
"Roar—" Realizing that he had lost the opportunity, something that had emerged from the snow roared wildly.
A dark brown bear's head roared to the sky, shook its head, as if it was struggling desperately to come up, but it failed.
"It's trapped." Gu Yu was still on guard at first, but when he saw the brown bear just howl angrily and had no way to break free from the ground, he let Hu Tao shoot and end it.
"How did it survive? Did it hibernate just now?" Hu Tao said curiously at the big bear who was beaten to death by him.
"There should be a trap below." Gu Yu did not explain the problem of hibernation. He looked at the human bone pit and said, "That should be a trap."
"Can you see when the trap was dug? If there were other forces occupying it, Ah Ying and the others might be in danger." I asked with some concern.
"It wasn't dug after winter."
"What about this bear?" Hu Tao seemed to have a strong interest in the brown bear and kept staring at it.
"It may have fallen when I came out for food." Gu Yu guessed.
"Let's drag it out. I heard that the bear paw is very delicious." Hu Tao's eyes shone. It turned out that his interest in bears was thinking about how to eat it.
"Get the rope." Gu Yu pounded Hu Tao's shoulder, and the latter ran back to the car to get the rope.
Gu Yu made a rope cover and prepared to put it around the brown bear's neck. Hu Tao used a shovel to shovel the snow around the bear's head.
When the part under the snow was exposed, Hu Tao sighed in disappointment. It turned out that except for the bear head, the whole body of the brown bear was in the frozen soil.
If you want to get it out, you have to shovel the frozen soil layer. This year's winter is particularly long and the earth is so frozen that it is so strong. Hu Tao just shoveled his mark on the surface.
"Okay, if it weren't for the frozen solid, it would have broken free." I muttered to the brown bear whose head was only exposed: "How did it fall down."
If the trap is only as big as a bear's head, how did its body fall into it?
Hu Tao didn't give up and put down the rope to touch the dagger. "Captain, can the bear brain be eaten? Why don't you take off your head and take it away."
"You, you're crazy about greed. When you return to the new camp, you'll let you out for hunting. There's something weird about this trap, don't move it now." Gu Yu said.
Hu Tao had no choice but to give up the brown bear and continue shoveling the snow and melting water. He shoveled the snow into an iron bucket, then put the bucket on the front cover of the car, and used the heat of the water tank to melt the snow water.
Pan Yijia followed us for three full meals, and she was no longer as reserved as she was at the beginning. She could have a few conversations with Hu Tao and even shovel the snow for him.
It is probably because this girl has been thinking about helping us work and changing food, but Hu Tao was reluctant to let her work. She made up a lie and said that she was too thin and had to gain weight and grow taller to help us work.
Pan Yijia seemed very uneasy when she heard this and looked at me frequently. The panic in her eyes was heartbreaking. I could guess what she thought, probably because I was afraid that I would owe us too much and arrange tasks that would be difficult to complete for her.
After all, a piece of biscuit can make her live. Today, she ate three packs of biscuits alone. The last two packs were coaxed and deceived by Chen Dong and Hu Tao. I felt that they looked particularly like bad uncles at that time.
Some things require habits. What Pan Yijia needs now is to get used to accepting other people's kindness. Of course, I hope she will be vigilant enough to others, but accepting help from others in a timely manner is also one of the ways to survive.
"He is right. How can I work if I don't have the energy to eat? When I arrive at the camp, my elder sister and younger sister will take you to have dinner and work together."
Unexpectedly, my explanation made Pan Yijia's eyes even more frightened. I felt that the distance that I finally narrowed was opened again.
I pursed my lips and looked at Gu Yu and Hu Tao, not understanding what I said wrong.
"Will you help cook in the kitchen?" Gu Yu asked as if he was in an interview.
"You can pick vegetables, wash vegetables, wash dishes, and move things." Pan Yijia said with her small body straight and as if she was memorizing the text.
"That's fine." Gu Yu didn't say a word of extra comfort, but Pan Yijia relaxed her tight body and was obviously comforted.
excuseme? What did I say wrong?
Hu Tao shrugged at me, saying that he didn't know what the little girl was nervous about. When I saw that the little girl had turned over, I didn't need to continue to ask the bottom line.
After an hour, Long Tao and Chen Dong came back. They found no zombies in Shuangshi, so they must have run away.
There are more than one or two cities in isolation, and the iron nets were all pulled three years ago. If there are camps near the city, there will be people to do maintenance. If there are no living people nearby, the iron nets will naturally be dilapidated and no one will care about it.
But the iron nets in Shuangshi do not seem to be falling from themselves. I suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "This may have been used as a game venue."
Gu Yu encouraged survivors to clean up zombies in the city, and those gamers didn't know how many cities they had cleared out.
"We didn't see the zombie corpse." Chen Dong said, "None of them."
"No one camped, it's an empty city." Long Tao added: "With the marks left by Qiangzi and the others, they're fine."
Qiangzi is another subordinate of Gu Yu, the person who was responsible for taking A Ying and the others to the new camp. They left a mark in Shuangshi, indicating that they had successfully passed here.
"Enter the city." Gu Yu said after pondering for a moment.
