Chapter 1569: Chasing! (Two in One)
The group left the coastal village of Tongshi and walked along the national highway.
They searched almost every house they came across, but they returned empty-handed every time.
It seemed that all the houses had been searched and there was no food at all.
After walking for two hours, they looked at the city in front of them with excitement.
Finally they saw the city. The supplies in the city must be much better than those in the suburbs.
The city in front of them was not small.
However, some people looked worried.
They had just searched so many houses but did not find any food. Even if they went to the city in front, they would probably get the same result.
"It's probably hard to find food in the city."
Dennis looked at the colonel and continued:
"The end of the world has already broken out for five or six years. Even if there is food in the city, it must have been rotten. Why don't we go to the mountains to find something to eat?"
As a professionally trained soldier, even if he is not a special forces soldier, he also has a rough understanding of some wilderness survival skills.
The colonel was under a lot of pressure at this time. As the leader of this team, he was responsible for the lives of everyone.
It was hard for him to imagine how China, with its vast territory and abundant resources, could be so short of supplies.
Are there still many survivors here?
"Well, we won't go to the city. It will be dark in a few hours. It's dangerous to stay in the city. Let's go to the surrounding mountains and forests to look for it." The colonel thought for a while and adopted Dennis's suggestion.
During the search, they found a regional map, and one of the soldiers knew Chinese.
It seems that in their team, knowing a foreign language can increase welfare benefits, adding an extra $500 in welfare every week.
Holding this map, David pointed to the location of Tongshi and said:
"Colonel, we are here now. Next, we have to choose a target location, right?"
The colonel looked at the map and pointed to a sign and asked: "Where is this?"
"Scenic resort!"
"Tourist place?"
"Yes."
"How far is it from us?"
"About ten kilometers."
"Okay, we'll go here, but the most urgent thing is to find a way to get something to eat." The colonel's stomach was twitching with hunger.
The group followed the colonel and had not eaten a bite since they got off the boat.
Morale was low.
They did not enter the city, but went around the city along the national highway in the bushes, forests, small ditches and other places to find everything edible.
Earthworms buried in the soil, because they could only identify a limited number of wild fruits, but now they were almost starving to death, and they could not care so much.
Caterpillars on the tree, jujubes and wild chestnuts on the ground.
Suddenly, the colonel saw a rabbit in the woods, bang!
Shoot and kill.
Turn the rabbit over and check it, open its eyes, no mutation.
Can be eaten!
But they can't stop now, it's troublesome to deal with the rabbit corpse, it takes time.
Why bother that there are so many people and it's not enough to share. Everyone wants to eat meat, but there is only one rabbit meat that is less than two pounds.
The colonel frowned, asking everyone to hunt together is too slow, it is better to give full play to everyone's subjective initiative and solve their own problems.
"Listen to me, one hour, everyone will go out to find food to fill their stomachs, and gather here after one hour!" The colonel said to everyone.
Separated, whether they can find food to fill their stomachs depends on their own personal abilities.
"Okay, Colonel."
Without hesitation, everyone dispersed, and they tried every means to search for all kinds of edible food.
Snails, earthworms, ants, cicadas, snakes, various insects, as well as wild fruits and vegetables.
After they left, the colonel originally wanted to search for food, but he looked at the rabbit he had just killed and coughed.
He pulled out the dagger from his thigh and began to skin the rabbit.
A few minutes later, he lit the fire.
A stick was inserted through the rabbit and grilled on the flame.
He looked at the roasted rabbit and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
It was really too hungry.
Generally speaking, it is easy to burn with open fire. It is best to use residual fire or smoke to slowly roast it, so that the meat can be cooked inside and out.
After ten minutes of open fire roasting, the surface of the rabbit was roasted black, exuding a strong meaty aroma.
But he was so hungry that he couldn't care less. He tore off a piece of rabbit leg and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.
The surface of the rabbit leg was roasted, but the inside was still a little raw, and the meat inside was still pink.
Swallowing frantically, he felt that the rabbit leg in his hand was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
After being on the boat for so long, if he was lucky, he could eat some fish, but if he was unlucky, he could only go back to eat expired individual rations.
But later, the individual rations that they despised became precious.
The food was getting less and less, and they were getting weaker and weaker.
The fresh rabbit meat in his hand at this time was undoubtedly the most delicious food in the world for him.
He ate the whole rabbit in less than ten minutes.
He even ate the internal organs and the rabbit head.
In the end, only a skeleton that could not be bitten was left. Even so, he smashed the skeleton with a stone and put it in his backpack.
These bones can be slowly crushed into powder and eaten when you have time. Bones are rich in various nutrients, especially the calcium in the bone powder, which can make his bones healthier.
In total, it took more than half an hour to process, grill and eat the whole rabbit.
He leaned against a big tree, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on him.
Although he was not full, the feeling of having something in his stomach made him happy.
Carefully feeling the comfort of this moment, his eyes narrowed and his head tilted up.
Chirp--
There happened to be a squirrel jumping on the branch.
The colonel thought he was dazzled until he heard the squirrel's cry.
Swish!
Draw the gun!
Shoot!
Bang!
He hit the squirrel accurately.
Originally, he felt that he was not full, and now the meat was delivered to his door, so he naturally couldn't let it go.
Continue to process the body and grill it.
While he was dealing with the squirrel, Vicchi used a branch to pick up a two-meter-long snake.
The snake's head was chopped off by a dagger, but the snake's body was still wriggling.
"Colonel, I found a snake!"
"Not bad."
The colonel was very calm. While answering, he put away the dagger, slowly stabbed a stick into the squirrel's belly, and then fixed the squirrel's limbs with several branches.
He had eaten a rabbit and had recovered at this time.
The squirrel had been killed and must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the meat would rot easily.
Moreover, the squirrel's body would attract zombies at night.
It didn't matter if the squirrel was roasted.
Soon.
Vicchi tied the snake, wrapped it back and forth on a stick, and also roasted it on the fire.
While they were roasting, some people came back one after another.
A small number of people caught the animals, plucked their hair and roasted them on the fire immediately after returning. They had guns, and catching animals was much more efficient and simpler than using traps.
As for most of the other people, they mainly ate various insects and wild vegetables and fruits to fill their stomachs.
After all the people who went out returned, the colonel asked everyone to take their bags and luggage and walk towards the Langshan Scenic Resort.
They returned to the national road from the mountains and forests, and it was inconvenient to walk in the mountains and forests.
On the way, they checked some vehicles on the roadside, all of which were scrapped and unusable.
Moreover, most of these vehicles had been soaked in water, and the parts inside were rusted.
At four o'clock in the evening,
there was an elk crossing the national road in front. At the moment of bouncing up, an arrow feather pierced the elk. The elk trotted forward a few more steps, and seemed to have been hit by a fatal blow, and fell in the grass on the left.
In an emergency, four or five figures ran over from the right and rushed towards the elk.
But just when crossing the national road, they happened to see the colonel and his men.
The man in the lead, wearing a mink hat, saw the skin color and clothes of the colonel and his men, and his face changed drastically.
"Retreat!"
But at this moment, bang!
The colonel fired directly and hit one of the men in the shoulder blade.
The man staggered and fell to the ground. Ah
"Catch them!" the colonel shouted loudly.
The men behind him rushed over in a crowd.
We just arrived at this place and don't know the situation here, so we naturally need to find someone to understand it.
We haven't seen anyone all day today. Now we finally see someone, so we can't let them run away.
As the colonel gave an order, the soldiers behind him immediately rushed over to chase those people.
A few minutes later, they controlled the gang.
"Grass mud horse! White pig!" The man wearing a mink hat yelled at the colonel.
The colonel didn't understand, so he asked David:
"What did he say?"
David translated awkwardly: "He scolded you."
The colonel snorted coldly and said to Vicki:
"Torture them to find out where their shelter is, and find out the situation in China."
"Yes."
Vicki rubbed his wrist and walked towards the few people with a dagger.
Ten minutes later.
With blood on his face, Vicki reported the situation to the colonel.
Under his harsh questioning, Vicki learned a lot of things.
First, it was found out that their shelter was in a house in the northeast.
The house was only four or five kilometers away from them, located in the suburbs, and could be reached in an hour.
In addition, the house also had a large basement that could hide from wall-climbing zombies.
After hearing this good news, the colonel was in a good mood and asked the gang to take them to their shelter directly.
Secondly, the news that interested them most was about the oil city and the trading market.
As long as they had points, they could buy what they wanted there.
Oil, food, and all kinds of daily necessities.
This news made them most excited. What they lacked most now was food. If they could buy food there, they could solve other problems.
But because of their white skin, they didn't know if they would be targeted when they entered the trading market.
An hour later.
They arrived at the shelter of these people.
In order to quickly control the remaining people, the colonel asked David, who knew Chinese, to lead more than 20 people to sneak attack the people in the house and control them as quickly as possible.
David quickly arranged and divided three teams to attack from three other directions.
And just when they were about to disperse, they happened to see a young man walking towards them carrying an axe.
When they were only four or five meters away, they spotted a big tree.
I looked at it from top to bottom.
"Tsk, tsk, this tree is nice. Straight and thick!"
"Hey!"
He raised his ax and chopped it towards the big tree. After just two chops, he felt the urge to urinate.
"Pee first."
The man put down his ax and walked toward David and the others.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid him, David could only stand up and pointed his gun at the man.
Said in broken Chinese:
"Don't move!"
At the same time, he waved to his men behind him to let them control the man. ah
The man is confused!
What's going on! ?
Got it wrong?
Why the hell do we see foreigners in this place?
He looked at the white-skinned pig in front of him, and then at the gun in his hand.
I subconsciously want to run.
But he controlled his legs. He felt that once he ran away, this white-skinned pig would definitely shoot him.
His eyes turned rapidly, thinking about how to escape.
But when he noticed the military uniform on David's body, he frowned and thought to himself: It's the end of the world, how can the devils from foreign troops come here?
Helpless, he couldn't do anything after turning his brain several times. Forced by the threat to his life, he had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender.
Wow~
At the same time, two more foreigners came out from behind David and stepped forward to control the young man.
By this time, it was too late for him to run.
Suddenly a man's voice came from the backyard.
"Chen Chen, Chen Chen, come here and help me."
"Chen Chen, what are you doing?"
"The sound of cutting down trees has disappeared. Are you lazy again?"
"It's not like you encountered a zombie, right?"
A man ran out from the courtyard of the house, carrying a shovel, and happened to see David and others controlling Chen Chen in the backyard.
"You? Damn! You stupid foreign devils!"
The next second, he shouted towards the yard:
"There are enemies!"
Bang!
A gunshot pierced the sky.
David glared at the men who fired, "I told you not to shoot!"
After the gunshots were fired, they quickly rushed into the building without any hesitation.
Inside the building.
In the front yard, a bearded man was planing wood. The moment he heard the gunfire, he immediately picked up the spear beside him and ran towards the backyard.
Upstairs, a man and a woman were nailing boards to the windows. This was used to strengthen the building, and when he heard gunfire, he did not hesitate to pick up his weapon and go downstairs.
As soon as the bearded man arrived in the backyard, he was held at gunpoint by seven or eight guns.
He shouted towards the back: "Xiao Fei, Ding Ya, run!"
Bang!
He was knocked to the ground by David's punch.
"Take control!"
Xiaofei and Dingya, who had just ran downstairs, looked at each other in shock when they heard Brother Gang's shouting.
"Brother Gang must be in trouble. We can't leave. We have to save him!" Ding Ya was about to rush over.
But Xiao Fei immediately grabbed her hand and dragged her to the front yard.
"No, they have guns. Brother Gang is reminding us, let's go first and find a way to save them."
Opening the door, Xiaofei was desperate.
Several white-skinned soldiers holding guns in front of them pointed their guns at their heads.
"It's over!"
Xiaofei was completely disappointed.
Tap tap tap——
David came with his men and said to his men:
"Go upstairs and look again! Get everyone under control."
"yes!"
A few minutes later, Xiao Fei, Ding Ya, and Wang Gang were kneeling on the ground. They looked at captains Wang Ou and Xie Wang, who had been beaten with black noses and swollen eyes, as well as Meng Ziming, who had one of his legs broken. Chen Mo was not seen.
Come to think of it, he might have been killed by these people.
They stared at David and others with hateful eyes. If looks could kill, David and others would have been killed hundreds of times.
Wang Ou and Xie Wang saw that Xiao Fei and the others were also controlled, and looked at Meng Ziming angrily.
"It's all your fault!" Wang Ou glared at Meng Ziming.
After being glared at by Wang Ou, Meng Ziming lowered his head in shame.
In order to survive, Meng Ziming told the gang where they were stationed.
This time, Xiaofei and the others were also troubled, and their lair was taken away.
Xiao Fei, Ding Ya, and Wang Gang knew that Meng Ziming had brought him here, and they all cursed at Meng Ziming.
"You damn Meng Ziming, are you fucking blind?"
"Grass"
Ding Ya sighed and looked at Meng Ziming with a little resentment in his eyes.
Later, after David and others inspected the entire building, they put their guns on Wang Gang's head.
"Where is one of you left? Where has he gone?"
"have no idea!"
Snap!
David slapped him and nodded his head with the gun, "Tell the truth and I will spare your life."
"Haha, you idiot, I don't believe your nonsense. Go find it, hahaha." Wang Gang said, spitting in David's face.
Tui!
Boom!
David used the handle of the gun to knock the bearded man unconscious.
He put the muzzle of his gun on Xiao Fei's head again, "Say!"
Xiao Fei turned his head away and ignored David at all.
At this time, the colonel came over, and David said to the colonel:
"Colonel, there is one person who is not here, according to what he said."
David pointed to Meng Ziming and continued to say to the colonel:
"He said there are eight people in total. You killed one person in front. There should be four people left here. Now there are only three people."
The colonel frowned and said to David:
"Torture them out, Vicki, you go to help."
"Can we kill them?" David asked.
The colonel shook his head, "Don't kill them, I still have use for their lives."
He didn't know what the specific situation was in the oil city. After all, they were white-skinned outsiders, and they were afraid that they would be caught in the trading market.
And the group of people who are controlled now may become their tools.
The specific operation has not been decided yet, but it is always right to keep their lives first.
The colonel shouted to Dennis behind him:
"Take people to look around! You must find the remaining person for me!"
"Yes!"
Dennis left with more than 30 people and scattered in all directions.
A few minutes ago
On a tree 50 meters away from them, a teenager was taking bird eggs.
His hand just reached into the bird's nest and touched three bird eggs.
"Hey, three bird eggs! I wonder if big brother and the others can hunt animals."
Bang! A gunshot sounded, and he looked in the direction of the shelter.
He saw Xiaofei and Dingya being controlled in the front yard with his own eyes, and he saw it clearly from the tree.
He also saw big brother Wang Ou and Wang Ge being controlled.
After seeing big brother tied up, he hurried down from the tree.
"I want to save big brother!"
But after he took two steps, he stopped again.
"No, those foreigners have guns, I'll just be sent over! Big brother can't beat them, let alone me."
The boy clenched his fists, and his eyes showed a tangled look.
"But how can I watch big brother being killed by them..."
His brain was spinning wildly, thinking about how to save big brother.
"Go and save them at night? No. I will stay in the mountains at night. If there are zombies, I will definitely die. And there are so many of them, I can't save them."
"Find someone to help?"
"Who to find?"
!
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
"Find Oil City! A large number of foreign troops have appeared here, they will definitely be interested!"
"And the information task issued by the trading market has such a task of sending news about strange forces."
At this moment, the boy thought clearly about what he should do.
He turned around without hesitation and ran towards the forest behind him.
He was going to Oil City now, to tell the people in Oil City about what happened here, and to save his brother and others through their hands.
He was just sending himself there. He had no guns, only a machete, and he would definitely not be able to do it!
And those people were wearing military uniforms, and it seemed that they came from the army.
Why don't you stay in your own country and run to other countries!
Damn!
Big brother! Brother Fei! Brother Gang! .
Hold on, I will find someone to save you after I get to the trading market.
He ran as hard as he could, running up the mountain at the fastest speed, and then running down the mountain.
He knew the road to the oil city, but he was not familiar with it. He had bought supplies at the trade market with his elder brother before.
An hour later, he looked at the sunset and realized that he had to go down the mountain to find a place to hide from the zombies.
The forest at night is very dangerous. Zombies are not the most terrible, but zombie animals are the most terrible.
He immediately ran down the mountain, and when he was halfway up the mountain, he saw a rural road.
He was familiar with this road, and there should be a small town two kilometers ahead.
When he arrived at that town, as long as he found a house with a basement, he would have a greater chance of spending the night safely.
He ran at the fastest speed of his life, fighting against the sunset.
He had to get to the town before the sun set.
Most of the sunset had already set.
The later it got, the faster it got dark.
When he went down the mountain, he fell because he was too anxious.
He rolled over, but he didn't feel any pain.
Looking at the broken bird egg on the ground, he immediately lay on the ground, stretched out his tongue and ate the bird egg on the ground, along with the weeds and leaves, and even the eggshell.
He hesitated for two seconds about the remaining two bird eggs. It was not easy to carry them on his body, and it was easy for the eggs to break while running.
Holding them with his hands would affect his running speed.
So he stuffed the bird eggs directly into his mouth.
He held them in his mouth.
He couldn't bear to eat them immediately. In the past few years, he had just eaten bird eggs with sand and weeds on the ground. This was the first egg he had eaten in the past five years.
When he ran down the mountain, he felt that the bird egg in his mouth was broken.
He accidentally bit it with his teeth.
The smooth bird egg liquid tasted a little sweet, but also very fishy.
But the crispy eggshell was like a snack, and it would crackle when bitten.
He ran, holding the bird egg liquid in his mouth, swallowing it into his stomach bit by bit.
The bird eggs seemed to moisten his throat. When he ran, his throat was dry like a burning charcoal.
The moist bird eggs made his throat feel better.
The sun went down.
The sky turned blue.
It was getting darker and darker.
He looked at the town less than 500 meters ahead and had no time to rest, even though his throat seemed to be smoking and his calves were sore and stiff.
But he knew that he had to hold on.
Hold on to find a shelter in the town.
Four hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
The town was right in front of him, and he could even see that there were already zombies in the town.
He stared at the row of houses on the edge of the town, looking for one that looked more stable.
While running, he was thinking and selecting.
He saw the two-story building at the edge.
"That's it!"
(Sorry, I wanted to close a big chapter, and the big guys have been waiting for a long time.) (End of this chapter)
