Chapter 218: Strange Old House
It was already evening when Liu Hai and his gang fled Jiefang City. In the twilight, they stopped for a while.
Then he started heading east, and Big Mouth got up from the ground on his own.
He didn't say much, but he didn't get closer to the slanted bangs.
The man with slanted bangs felt a little guilty in his heart when he saw Dazui's careful look, but it didn't take long.
He immediately turned his attention to the fact that the sun was setting now. They haven't reached their destination yet.
There is not even a tall building nearby, only a few private houses. This place is a bit remote, and these private houses are still tile-roofed houses.
There are mountains and forests nearby. In such a wilderness place, although the national highway runs through the mountain.
But because it is too remote here.
After they came out of Jiefang City, they drove a car, but the car ran out of gas after less than 30 kilometers.
A car without gasoline is equivalent to scrap metal.
The most serious question before them at this time was whether to continue moving forward or find a place to spend the night. You know, it's very dangerous at night.
It has been nearly a year since the apocalypse broke out. The roadside is overgrown with weeds and the houses are in dilapidated condition. The houses that were rarely inhabited now look even more intrusive under the gloomy night.
"Brother Hai, what should we do? It's a little late now." A man next to the slanted bangs asked.
He glanced at the horizon with slanted bangs. The sun had already set, and the sky was getting darker.
In the apocalypse, people are afraid of the dark night, but not because they are afraid of ghosts, but because they are afraid of zombies.
In the dark, unlike during the day, zombies' sense of smell and mobility will be greatly enhanced.
Especially on rainy nights, for zombies, it is simply their home field.
Oblique Bangs pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Are you familiar with this area?"
"I'm not very familiar with it. I'm not from this county, and it's my first time here." A man said.
"Brother Hai, I've been here before. There are a lot of mountains and forests here. I used to drive home from here. I remember there was probably a large bamboo forest in front of me. This place used to be called the Bamboo Sea." Dazui said.
The slanted bangs nodded, took one last look at everyone, and finally said: "Night is not suitable for movement, and I don't know how long we have to walk ahead. Let's find a place to hide for the night."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
But, where should we stay tonight?
Continue to stay in the car. This car has 7 seats, and it is still spacious for the few of them.
However, there is no gasoline in the car. Can't start.
And this car is parked in the middle of the national highway. If a zombie passes by here, wouldn't it be a target?
If you don't stay in the car, where else can you go?
Everyone turned their attention to the private houses fifty meters away from the national highway.
These few houses are in the night, tile-roofed houses, at the foot of mountains and forests.
It looks a bit like something from a horror movie, with old country corpses hidden inside.
However, they still walked in that direction, and they definitely couldn't stay in the car.
I can only find a place to build a building and escape this night temporarily.
Eh.
Everyone cheered each other up and slowly walked towards the house.
They saw that the wall of the house in front had collapsed. When they approached, they saw a long rope hanging inside the house.
But I don't know what it is used for.
Behind the rope, the bamboo pole was a little broken, but there was still a white cloth hanging firmly on it.
This piece of white cloth has some black marks on it. In addition, the white cloth has been damaged, and the strands are blowing in the evening breeze.
Behind this wall is a dense mountain forest.
In the darkness, it was hard to see clearly.
They came closer and closer to the wall.
Enter.
Suddenly, what came into view was a circular tomb.
There is no tombstone in this grave.
There was a strange aura circulating around everyone.
Everyone felt a chill rising from the tailbone,
hiss.
Everyone gasped.
This is so weird.
This house is definitely uninhabitable. Where have you ever seen a tomb built for a living person?
It was also built in the yard, and this tomb just faced the patio inside the house.
Inside the patio is the Sishuiguitang.
Simple, but a little strange.
There are no characteristics of a living person, but what is going on with the cloth on the wall. No one can figure it out, and they don't want to figure it out either.
At this time, they only feel numbness in their scalp.
They wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible, but they felt something was wrong.
Turn on the flashlight. The flashlight doesn't have much power and is a little dim.
Grass!
"Which one of you brought a flashlight?" said Liu Hai.
"I didn't bring it, who would bring that thing? It's better to put food if there is space." said one person.
"Brother Hai, I didn't bring it with me." Another person said.
"Haihai, I brought candles." Dazui said.
Um? Candles, thoughtful, forget it and don’t talk about it.
Slanted bangs nodded and saw Dazui taking out two candles from his backpack, and they were red.
Festive enough.
But this is not the time to light the candle.
They fled from the house in a hurry.
After looking at the few houses behind, I felt a little confused.
Do you want to go to the house at the back and have a look?
Xie Liuhai saw that it was getting dark. If they didn't find a place to live and take some precautions as soon as possible, they would be doomed if some zombies ran out.
How could they fight the zombies if they couldn't see clearly, not to mention, what if there were a lot of zombies.
Quick!
Quick!
Quick!
"Hurry up, let's go to the house behind and take a look, that one!" Xie Liuhai pointed to a house behind, which looked relatively complete.
Although it was also a tile house, this tile house looked safer.
Yes, safer.
They quickened their pace and ran a few dozen meters to the front of the house.
This house had no yard. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no grave in front of the house.
Fortunately, there was no grave, they were afraid of encountering another grave.
The grave they saw just now was really weird.
Xie Liuhai turned on the flashlight and walked slowly inside.
The light shone over, some farm tools, a broken bucket, a few black and gray towels, and a somewhat old table and chair.
No problem.
The man with side bangs breathed a sigh of relief.
In this quiet forest, in a house next to the national highway.
Finally found a place to live.
Everyone has a certain amount of survival experience to survive until now. So they began to check the house.
In fact, there are not many rooms in this house, only four, surrounding the central hall, with a room in the east, south, west and north.
Two by two, check these four rooms.
Big Mouth followed the side bangs and lit the candles.
Side bangs saw the light gradually, turned around and saw that it was Big Mouth who lit the candles, and felt a little sorry.
So he asked: "Big Mouth, why do you bring red candles?"
Big Mouth was a little shy, lowered his head, and said vaguely: "I want to have a candlelight dinner with you."
Before Side bangs could hear it carefully, he heard a shout next to him!
