Chapter 728 Necklace
"You go in this direction and don't look back. You can hide if you find a suitable place." Zhang Heng said to Fabricot.
"What about you?" Fabricot asked.
"I'm going to lure them away, and I'll come back to you later."
It’s not that Zhang Heng was suddenly possessed by Bethune, his soul was sublimated, and he developed the spirit of international friendship and the excellent moral character of not being self-interested but benefiting others. The main reason is that he underestimated the tracking ability of those monsters in the swamp. If the two of them keep running like this, they will definitely end up... The ending of being handed over to everyone.
And if Fabricot and Zhang Heng are thrown away, there is a high chance of getting out of trouble.
But his purpose tonight is not to escape, but to investigate what is happening to him. This also means that he first needs to understand what is happening in the town, so he will still try to save Fabricot as a last resort.
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he handed a revolver to Fabricot, "This gun is for you to defend yourself, but remember to try not to shoot, otherwise I may not be able to save you."
Fabricot was not an idiot and immediately understood what Zhang Heng meant.
Although the pistol can protect him to a certain extent, the gunshot will reveal his position. If he is surrounded by most monsters, Zhang Heng will not trap himself in order to save him.
That being said, the pistol gave Fabricot some sense of security.
When faced with fears beyond common sense, the technological crystallization of human civilization can bring some comfort, especially if he is blocked by those monsters. Without a gun, he will definitely die, but with a gun, he can take a gamble.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer. Zhang Heng briefly exchanged a few words with Fabricot and then they separated. Fabricot continued to move forward, while Zhang Heng chose another direction, and he was in When moving, he deliberately stepped harder, causing the weeds around him to sway.
The monsters following behind noticed the movement here almost immediately. Zhang Heng was like a torch lit in the dark night, attracting nearby moths to flock here in a steady stream.
Of course, there is good news. After getting rid of the "burden" of Fabricot, Zhang Heng's actions have become more flexible and convenient.
He quickened his pace and ran towards the field ridge ahead, where there were two private houses.
Trying to rely on the thin door panel and earth structure to block it is tantamount to wishful thinking, but as the nearby commanding heights, it is very suitable for a small blocking battle.
Yes, although Zhang Heng's goal is to escape, he doesn't want to keep running like this. It has never been his style to just get beaten without fighting back, and if he doesn't cause trouble for those guys, they will only push harder and harder. .
Zhang Heng reached into his backpack while running, pulled out a box of ammunition, and finished loading the rifle. At this time, he was less than 200 yards away from the two small mud houses, and Zhang Heng could already see them. Their broken windows stuffed with strips of cloth, the dark open doors and the garbage, broken shells and oyster shells all over the yard indicate that no one has lived here for a long time.
Zhang Heng jumped over a small quagmire and was about to approach one of the houses. But at this moment, a sudden change occurred. A figure suddenly appeared from the grass on his left. It seemed that the opponent had been ambushing here for a long time. , due to the close distance between the two of them, his huge protruding eyes almost touched Zhang Heng's cheek, and Zhang Heng did not have time to make adequate preparations.
Fortunately, the strong smell of sea on the other party still gave him away to a certain extent.
Although Zhang Heng was thrown to the ground, he successfully jammed the opponent's neck with his rifle. However, Zhang Heng realized immediately that the body structure of the thing was a little different from ordinary people. It breathed through the gills on both sides of the neck. , this card did not affect him much. Of course, the guy was not too comfortable. He pushed the gun barrel with his hand and was still kicking around.
In addition, a piece of gold jewelry engraved with strange patterns on his neck fell to the ground during the struggle. Before Zhang Heng had time to take a closer look at the necklace, he saw another figure emerging from a mud house. Look at the dress. Like the farmers nearby, but the trend of becoming monsters is not that obvious yet. At best, they are similar to the man and woman in the restaurant.
But if he rushed in front of him, it would definitely delay more time, so Zhang Heng decisively pulled the trigger while wrestling with the guy in front of him. He caught the moment when the muzzle of the gun happened to be tilted towards the farmer opposite, and the bullet came out of the gun. The shot ejected from the barrel and hit one of the target's thighs. Although it was not fatal, as long as the target was no longer in the way, it would have achieved its goal.
After firing the shot, Zhang Heng let go of his hand, took out the chef's knife from his backpack, and thrust it into the monster's eye socket when it turned back. The latter grinned and used his last strength to remove the knife from his throat. He spat out a few unclear syllables.
"Save it, I don't understand what you are talking about..." Zhang Heng said as he picked up the rifle again, and hesitantly picked up the necklace and put it into his pocket.
Zhang Heng always thought that this thing was made of gold, but upon closer inspection, there was something slightly different. The entire necklace exuded a strange, slightly lighter luster, as if someone had mixed it with some other unknown metal.
Since now was not the time to dwell on this kind of thing, Zhang Heng just looked at it for a moment. Then he stepped over the farmer who was still wailing and came to the two mud houses. After confirming that no one was hiding inside, Climbed onto the roof of one of the houses.
Then he saw a spectacular and mysterious scene.
I saw countless half-human, half-fish frog-like monsters jumping forward in the rural swamps, like dolphins jumping out of the water, but their appearance looked far worse than dolphins.
Seeing dolphins while sailing on the sea always makes people feel happy, but seeing these ugly monsters here will probably make ordinary people wet their pants in fear.
Zhang Heng did not dwell too much on the scene in front of him. He quickly turned his eyes and looked for those figures wearing golden crowns and wrapping themselves in robes in the crowd. Zhang Heng had noticed these strangely dressed figures when he was escaping. They were the priests he saw in the church when he first arrived in the town. They seemed to play the role of organizers and commanders among the monsters, and their status was higher than that of ordinary monsters.
Therefore, Zhang Heng wanted to kill these guys the most.
But he didn't have much time left, as the first wave of monsters would soon arrive at his location.
Zhang Heng raised the rifle in his hand and aimed at one of the figures with the help of moonlight.
After a loud gunshot, one of the figures wearing a golden crown shook, fell to the ground, and never stood up again.
Zhang Heng didn't have time to reflect on the results of the battle.
Then he turned the gun again, and the second bullet took away another priest.
But he missed the third shot, not only because the distance was relatively far, but also because the other party saw what happened to his two companions, became vigilant, and dodged quickly.
Of course, the main reason for this is that the [Filter Lens] is not on Zhang now. Otherwise, even if the guy is on guard, Zhang Heng will be sure to take him away with him. But now, Zhang Heng knows that he has no chance to refill his gun, and with that guy wearing a The guy with the golden crown looked at each other. He easily dealt with the two monsters rushing in front and jumped off the earthen house.
