Chapter 68 Persuasion

Lin Yue finally reached the entrance of the village and secretly looked into the village. He saw many figures wandering in the village, but Lin Yue didn't know if these people were beast-like people, so he reached a wall and climbed up the top of it. , saw no one in the yard, turned over and jumped in. Apparently this family had gone out in the morning, there was no one in the house in the yard, and the yard door and the room door were locked. This is exactly what Lin Yue hopes. He can observe outside through the wall, so that even if he is discovered, he can escape in time without the barrier of the courtyard wall. Sneaking to the other end of the yard and secretly climbing up the wall, Lin Yue finally saw the true face of those lunatics. These people have become like zombies, with pale faces, pale eyes, and stiff limbs. They keep wandering around the village, occasionally making roaring sounds. Although Lin Yue didn't know that these were zombies, Lin Yue had heard stories about zombies told by his grandfather since he was a child. Could these crazy humans be zombies?

Lin Yue didn't know the existence of zombies, but the ancient zombie legends were still vivid in his memory. For these monsters that would be poisoned by zombie poison if they bite, he could hide as far as he could. So Lin Yue did not go deep into the village, but When searching the deserted yard, Lin Yue was also a responsible person and would not do anything like stealing chickens and dogs. However, his donkey was eaten by the villagers, and he took the villagers' food, which was regarded as an exchange. .

Every family in the countryside has the habit of storing grain, and this family is no different. Apparently, this family was killed shortly after harvesting the farmland. Therefore, the grain in this family's granary is full, weighing at least four to five hundred kilograms, which is enough for the forest. Yue had been eating for a year, but such a large amount of food could not be moved at one time, so Lin Yue had to move it in batches. Moreover, I don’t have a means of transportation at the moment, so carrying food has become a hard job. Carrying fifty kilograms of food at a time is quite tiring. Lin Yue moved three times before being discovered by zombies. When he came to the village again for the fourth time, the house he just visited was already surrounded by zombies. Lin Yue never dared to enter the village again and had to go back. Finally, having food gave him the resources to continue to survive, but the problem was far from that simple.

More than a month later, at the end of the year, Lin Yue found that he had run out of salt. Without food, he could go to the woods to trap rabbits. Although rabbits were no longer easy to deal with, at least he could catch one or two occasionally. , although salt is a small thing, it is a big deal. Without salt, not only will the food lose its taste, but without salt, the body will also feel weak. Moreover, without communicating with others for a long time, Lin Yue also felt particularly lonely and mentally empty, which often made him feel like he was going crazy. Therefore, Lin Yue often goes down the mountain to see the humans who have turned into zombies, hoping that one day these people will return to normal.

But suddenly one day, the zombies in the village disappeared en masse. Although this allowed Lin Yue to no longer worry about the threat of zombies and he could freely enter the village to search for supplies, especially salt, but without the zombies, Lin Yue completely felt alone.

On this day, Lin Yue had just finished lunch and was taking care of his ginseng in the ginseng field in the forest. This was the only motivation for him to survive. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting from the direction of his house: "Lin Yue Are you there? Lin Yue, where are you?" The voice was very familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.

When Lin Yue heard the human voice, he immediately became energetic. He had not heard the human voice for a long time, which made him feel more cordial. So Lin Yue dropped the tools in his hands and ran towards his cabin.

When he arrived near his wooden house, Lin Yue stopped in his tracks because Lin Yue saw two people and two animals. What stopped him was a tiger and a white tiger. Although Lin Yue had never seen a real tiger, he learned from books I had seen it before, and this time Lin Yue was startled. He quickly stopped and did not dare to step forward.

At this moment, one of the two people saw Lin Yue and whispered a few words to the other person. The other person turned around and saw Lin Yue. Then he shouted to Lin Yue: "Lin Yue, it's me, Park Ji-hyun." .”

At this time, Lin Yue saw clearly that among the people who came, there was a person he knew. He was a logger from a nearby village. He occasionally came here to check out the mountains and forests, so he often met and traded with him. He was also an old acquaintance. . Seeing an acquaintance, and a normal person at that, Lin Yue waved happily, but did not dare to get close. After all, tigers were not easy to get along with.

When Pu Zhixian saw that Lin Yue did not dare to step forward, he took the initiative to step forward: "Brother Lin, you are still alive!"

When Lin Yue heard this, he was confused. What do you mean I am still alive? Do you expect me to die? So there was a bit of displeasure on his face, but Park Ji-hyun didn't notice because he hadn't had a haircut for a long time and was unshaven. So he continued: "Brother Lin, I'm picking you up from the mountain. How about you come with us?"

Lin Yue became even more unhappy after hearing this. I was living a good life on the mountain. Why did I have to go down the mountain? Are you thinking about my ginseng fields? So he said in a stiff tone: "Why should I go down the mountain?!"

These harsh words made Pu Zhixian stunned. Unexpectedly, Lin Yue, who had greeted him warmly just now, suddenly became as cold as winter. Why? So Pu Zhixian explained: "Brother Lin, you are alone on this mountain. It’s very dangerous, so come down the mountain with us!”

Lin Yue became more and more suspicious of Pu Zhixian's motives. He was staying well on the mountain, so there was no danger. He must have some evil intentions for his ginseng fields, so he said in an even colder tone: "I'm fine here, no need to go down the mountain! "

Now Park Zhixian didn't know what to say. After all, Park Zhixian was also from the mountains. He was straight forward and didn't know how to make twists and turns. This kind of persuasive job was really not something he could do.

At this time, Li Yuanhong came over and saw the awkward atmosphere between the two, so he asked Park Zhixian: "Zhixian, is this the ginseng king brother Lin Yue you mentioned?"

Everyone likes to be complimented, and Lin Yue is no exception. The reason for his withdrawn personality is mainly because he had no mother when he was a child, so he was often laughed at by other children. Therefore, he has low self-esteem and closes himself off. In fact, he still longs for others to praise him. Today Hearing Li Yuanhong say that he is the king of ginseng cultivation, this was unintentionally the best affirmation for him, and he naturally had a good impression of Li Yuanhong in his heart.

At this time, Park Zhixian quickly introduced: "Brother Li, this is Lin Yue!" Then he introduced Li Yuanhong to Lin Yue and said: "Brother Lin Yue, this is the captain of our survivors, Captain Li Yuanhong!"

When Lin Yue heard this, he was confused again. What kind of survivor?

Seeing that Lin Yue was in a daze, Li Yuanhong guessed that he was isolated in the mountains and didn't know the changes in the outside world, so he spoke first: "Brother Lin Yue, can you let us enter your home for a chat?!"

"Oh! Ah! Okay... Okay, please come with me!" At this time, Lin Yue finally came to his senses and invited Li Yuanhong and Park Zhixian into his home.

Li Yuanhong entered Lin Yue's home and saw that the wooden house was very simple. There was no refrigerator, color TV, or any electrical appliances. Even the lighting used oil lamps. However, the house was very clean and the furnishings were neat. At a glance, he knew that Lin Yue was very rich. Organized person. The fire in the room had been extinguished and it was a little cold, so Lin Yue lit the fire first, put a pot of water on the stove, and burned it slowly. Then he sat down and asked, "I wonder if you two are coming to my place." , are you here for ginseng?”

Li Yuanhong replied: "Yes and no!"

"Huh? I don't understand what you said!" Lin Yue looked at Li Yuanhong with some confusion.

"I wonder if Brother Lin Yue has ever gone down the mountain recently?" Li Yuanhong did not answer, but continued to ask.

"It rained before, what happened?"

"Then have you noticed anything unusual at the foot of the mountain?" Li Yuanhong asked next.

"Oh, I discovered that the people in the mountains got some kind of disease and turned into madmen, and then they ran away to nowhere recently!" Lin Yue said.

"Hahaha, it seems that Brother Lin Yue is not aware of the changes outside." Li Yuanhong said with a laugh.

Lin Yue was puzzled by the laughter, so he asked: "What's changed outside?"

So Li Yuanhong explained the zombies in the outside world, and also explained the current situation of the survivors. Only then did Lin Yue suddenly realize that those who thought they were zombies were actually not zombies, but zombies. What’s even more terrifying is that now there are no more human beings left, and the world is full of zombies!

At this time, Li Yuanhong continued: "I just said that we are not here for ginseng, but because we are not here to buy your ginseng, nor are we coveting your ginseng fields, but we want you to join us, so that everyone can stay together and stay warm. , can we survive better in this apocalypse. And I am talking about ginseng, because of this." After saying that, Li Yuanhong took out the third-level mutant ginseng from his underwear pocket (in space) and handed it to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue took the ginseng, but when he saw the ginseng, he was stunned.
