Chapter 1746: Only if You Survive, There Is Hope!

In the woods.

There was only the echo of Chang Yichang's shouts and the sound of falling snow.

"Brother, how about we spread out and look for him?" Shunfeng said anxiously.

He knew that as time went by, in such a cold temperature, the danger he would face if he found Yan Sheng a second later would be higher.

"no."

Chang Yichang rejected him without hesitation.

"You can't disperse. Although there are no traces of zombies now, it does not mean that there are absolutely no zombies. Besides, the wall-climbing zombies are crawling, so they are probably not buried by the snow."

"It would be too dangerous to spread out."

"Besides, there may be various hidden ditches and pits in the woods. Let's look for them together. At least we'll have someone to take care of them."

"Okay." Shunfeng nodded with difficulty.

Although the three of them did not spread out, they kept a distance of 5 to 10 meters between each other in order to expand their field of vision and search range.

All within sight of each other.

"Yan Sheng! Where are you?"

"Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng!"

The three of them shouted and looked around.

When shouting, they try to cover their mouths with cloth to prevent a large amount of cold air from suddenly entering their throats when they inhale, causing severe coughing.

After a while, the three of them walked to a place only twenty meters away from Yan Sheng while shouting.

"Huhu——"

Biaozi said with a worried look:

"We have gone so far into the woods. There is no way he could have gone this far. We found no potholes or signs of dragging on the road. Where did Yan Sheng go?"

Chang Yichi was also a little discouraged. After going out to pick mushrooms and looking for someone, the three of them had been exposed to the blizzard for three hours.

Their bodies have reached their limit, and if they continue to search, they may not be able to go back.

Chang Yichang gritted his teeth and said to the two of them:

"Keep on holding on, the end of the woods is ahead. If we can't find it after running back and forth, we have to go back and let others come out to look for it later."

He has never given up on his brothers, which is why the people in the team trust him so much.

The tailwind could no longer hold its own, and the fierce blizzard had made him tremble with cold.

Even if he keeps walking, he can't resist the cold.

The moisture from their breath had condensed into ice picks on their scarves. From a distance, the three of them looked like three snowmen.

Because the blizzard was so heavy that it would cover people's footprints in a few minutes, so they were unable to find Yan Sheng's footprints.

"Let's go." Chang Yichang said to the two of them.

The three of them continued forward.

After walking only ten meters, I saw a pothole three meters ahead.

"Look, what is that!"

He quickened his pace and ran towards that direction. Because he moved too fast, the skis under his feet almost tipped over and fell.

The three of them quickly ran to the pothole.

But to their disappointment, there was no trace of Yan Sheng in the pothole.

Only a covering of snow.

Chang Yichang was a little disappointed, but he frowned when he looked at the pothole.

Such a big pothole should not appear for no reason.

Click!

Biaozi next to him suddenly stepped on a wooden board. Biaozi lowered his head and cleared the snow on the board.

"Brother, it's a ski, Yan Sheng is probably down here!"

Seeing this ski, Shunfeng and Chang Yichang secretly cried out.

If Yan Sheng fell into this pothole but couldn't see it, it could only mean one thing:

Yan Sheng was buried in the snow!

"Rope, take out the rope!" Chang Yichang said anxiously to the wind.

Even if he was buried, he didn't want to give up.

If you are alive, you want to see people, if you are dead, you want to see corpses!

Shunfeng untied the rope from his back, threw one end to Chang Yiqian, and tied the other end towards his waist.

"I'm light, so it's easier for you to pull." Shunfeng said to the two of them.

Chang Yichang, who originally went down in person, felt that it made sense after hearing the words, so he didn't stop him.

soon.

Shunfeng tied the rope. Chang Yiqian and the two people above him pulled the rope. At the same time, the end of the rope was tied to a tree behind.

Although the tree was dead, it was relatively strong and could bear a certain weight.

"put."

Following Shunfeng's cry, Chang Yichi and the two slowly lowered the rope, and Shunfeng's body slowly descended.

It was only three meters from the top to the bottom of the pit, so the tailwind quickly stepped on the snow in the pit.

tread--

After SF went down to the bottom of the pit, he immediately dug in the middle of the pit with his bare hands.

Although he had a small shovel, he was afraid that the shovel would hit Yan Sheng's face and avoid accidental injury.

He ignored the coldness and dug frantically with his hands.

After digging only ten centimeters, he saw Yan Sheng's black hat.

Shunfeng's heart skipped a beat when he saw Yan Sheng's hat.

In this case, Yan Sheng would probably die.

He continued to dig wildly, and Yan Sheng's head slowly appeared in his field of vision.

Yan Sheng's head was covered with snow, and his nostrils and mouth were frozen with a lot of frost due to the moisture from his breath.

The whole face was extremely pale, the lips were black, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.

Shunfeng used his trembling hands to sweep the frost off Yan Sheng's face.

Gently shook Yan Sheng's head, "Yan Sheng! Wake up!"

He didn't give up and put his index finger on the tip of Yan Sheng's nose.

What made him feel desperate was that Yan Sheng was not breathing at this moment.

"How is it?" Chang Yichang shouted to Shunfeng below.

In fact, he already knew the answer in his heart.

He knew it when Yan Sheng's hat was dug out.

In such a cold day, people buried in the snow will not freeze to death, but will die from lack of oxygen due to the snow.

Shunfeng turned his head and shook his head gently.

His eyes were full of grief.

Alas.

Chang Yichang closed his eyes painfully.

Biaozi next to him blamed himself even more, lowered his head and muttered to himself:

"If I hadn't found the frozen mushroom, maybe this wouldn't have happened, maybe Yan Sheng wouldn't have died."

Chang Yichang patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Life and death are determined by fate. There are some things we can't stop and can only accept."

Shunfeng lowered his head and clenched his fists.

After a while.

He continued to dig hard, trying to dig Yan Sheng out.

But after Yan Sheng fell down, because he twisted his body, the snow became more and more solid, and it became more and more difficult to dig below.

After seeing his actions, Chang Yichang gritted his teeth and said:

"Shunfeng, come up."

"We have tried our best."

Even if they took Yan Sheng's body back, they didn't know where to put it.

It would be better to let him rest here.

Besides, they had been in such a cold blizzard for so long that they couldn't stand it physically and mentally.

Shunfeng had a tangled expression on his face and dug for another two minutes.

Chang Yichang and the others kept persuading him.

After Shunfeng dug a few more times, his fingers were numb from the cold.

After a while.

He stood up and looked at Yan Sheng sadly.

He whispered: "Asheng, I'm sorry."

Yan Sheng was only 23 years old, and was considered to be the younger one in their team.

He was positive and optimistic on weekdays, and had a good attitude towards the end of the world.

When Shunfeng thought of Yan Sheng's previous smile, he felt a little heart-wrenching pain.

He tied the rope, and Biaozi and Chang Yichang above pulled him up with all their strength.

Chang Yichang looked at Yan Sheng's body below, suppressed his grief and said:

"Although we haven't seen the zombies climbing the wall now, just in case, let's push the snow down to protect his body."

"When the weather gets warmer and the flowers bloom in spring, we will find a place to dig him out and bury him properly."

"Okay." Shunfeng nodded heavily.

Then, the three of them used skis to push the snow down.

Watching Yan Sheng's head being covered with his own eyes.

Shunfeng was extremely depressed holding the frozen mushrooms that Yan Sheng had picked before his death.

He called Yan Sheng out, but he couldn't take Yan Sheng back.

Thinking of Yan Sheng's brother asking him to take good care of Yan Sheng before he died.

He felt even more guilty.

"Let's go, the snow is so heavy, there's no need to fill the pit, we can't hold on any longer." Chang Yichang said to Shunfeng.

Shunfeng didn't answer, silently carrying the frozen mushrooms that Yan Sheng had picked, and walked out of the woods with his head down.

Check out the error-free version in the 16-9 book forum!

The dead are irreversible.

The survivors still have to carry the burden forward.

It is unknown how long the blizzard will last, and they may face the crisis of lack of food later.

But their bottom line is that they must not eat humans, even if they starve to death, this bottom line cannot be changed.

The three dragged their tired bodies back to the sentry tower.

Zhao Dongbao saw that only the three of them came back, and he already knew the answer in his heart.

But Nanshan still didn't give up, and ran up and asked excitedly:

"Brother, have you seen Yan Sheng?"

His voice was a little trembling, and his tone was full of expectation.

Chang Yichang nodded and said sadly:

"He fell into the snow pit and was covered and buried by the snow. When we arrived, it was too late. He..."

Chang Yichang didn't say death after all.

But everyone already understood.

Nanshan sat down on the ground.

Covering his face in pain.

In this team, he and Yan Sheng have the best relationship. They are of similar age and usually the two of them are the most noisy in their team.

Now that Yan Sheng is gone

, no one will play with him anymore.

Woo woo woo——

Someone was sobbing in the sentry tower.

Some people lowered their heads and said nothing.

On the wall of the sentry tower, there were several neatly arranged large bags of frozen mushrooms, a pile of chopped firewood, and a dozen dead trees.

Originally, they should have been happy to harvest so many frozen mushrooms.

But they paid the price of their lives.

This is the end of the world.

If you are not careful, you may die.

The threats they face are not only zombies, but also various natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Sometimes, encountering natural disasters and zombies is not the most terrible.

Encountering cannibals is the most terrible.

In the end of the world, some humans are extremely hungry and start to feed on humans. They are brutal and fierce. Once they are caught by them, death is the most luxurious thing.

Those cannibals, in order to eat people for a few more days.

They would select which part to eat today and which part to eat tomorrow, and even bandage people, just to eat for a few more days.

"Dongbao, close the door."

Chang Yichang took a deep breath and continued to instruct Dongbao:

"Starting from tomorrow, open the door once a day and clear the snow outside. It will be easier for us to go out later."

"good."

Dongbao lowered his head and walked towards the door of the sentry tower.

Kakaka——

Ice had condensed on the bottom of the sentry tower door, rubbing against the iron floor, making an unpleasant and harsh sound.

Boom——

The guard tower door was closed, followed by the sound of chains clanking.

An hour later.

It was dark outside.

There was a fire burning in the room, and everyone was enjoying delicious venison and mushroom tortilla soup.

They were hungry but had no appetite.

One person had just died, and the rest of them still had to live.

They lowered their heads and ate up the food bit by bit.

During this time, no one said a word.

Although they have experienced this kind of thing many times, every time it is sad.

Maybe death can be something you can get used to.

But they couldn't get used to people dying around them one by one.

Every death is a pain.

night.

outside the window.

It's still snowing heavily.

Chang Yichang opened his notepad, which was filled with people's names.

Most people's names have a horizontal line drawn through them.

This means that the owner of this name is dead.

He found Yan Sheng's name and lightly crossed out his name with a pencil.

Looking at the familiar names crossed out in the notepad, Chang Yichi's eyes were complicated and he closed his eyes gently.

Also close the notepad.

well.

As the leader of this team, he is responsible for everyone who follows him.

But along the way, there were fewer and fewer people following him.

One by one, familiar faces gradually disappeared from his sight.

He was also desperate, and sometimes he didn't know what to do.

Can only resist hard.

The pressure he endured was the greatest.

Every death left a scar in his heart.

People who are too sentimental cannot be leaders, because they do not have a ruthless heart and are prone to losing big things because of small things, and are unable to take care of the overall situation.

But those who do not value love and justice cannot win the loyal followers of survivors.

Leaders need to have the charisma of a leader.

Especially when it is impossible to provide a rich material foundation, the charisma of a leader is even more important for his subordinates to follow him loyally.

The balance between ruthlessness and friendship is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Outside the sentry tower.

Snow is still falling.

The wind is still strong.

Yan Sheng's death did not have any impact on the world.

It was as if he had never been to this world.

In this apocalypse, most of the survivors living at the bottom are actually similar to Yan Sheng.

They are inconspicuous among all the living beings.

Some people even died and no one knew about it.

At least, after Yan Sheng died, Chang Yichang and the others still remembered him.

However, these survivors are still living tenaciously, fighting against fate, natural disasters, and zombies!

Just to survive!

If you stay alive, there is hope!

In the high-rise buildings, some people shivered and looked at the falling snow outside the window. They were skinny and suffered from the pain of hunger, but they did not give up. They searched everywhere, eating leather, rats, insects, and even took their own Cut off the meat and feed it to your children.

In the deep mountains and old forests, some people braved the snowstorm and worked hard to clear the snow around the shelter. They looked desperately at the piles of snow around them, which were higher than their houses, but they were still clearing the snow. , to defend their sanctuary

In the underground warehouse, there were also people holding their breath and curling up, with their backs blocking the door. Outside the door, there were dense zombies.

In the cold storm and snow, no one has it easy.

But they are all trying their best to survive.

Humanity's struggle against natural disasters and zombies relies on tenacious will.
