Chapter 970 Wuyi Mountain, Old House in the Mountains

An autumn rain brings a chill.

After entering October, the temperature dropped rapidly with the arrival of heavy rain.

In particular, the personnel on duty on the wall not only have to face the cold rain, but also have to be vigilant and watch the zombies below to prevent the zombies from erupting and stacking too high.

This is a great challenge for them.

So Li Yu readjusted the duty plan and pulled all the personnel from the outer city to take duty. In this way, the duty time of each person was greatly reduced, and on average, only three hours of duty were required per day.

Undoubtedly, the pressure of each person on duty was greatly relieved.

The continuous night rainstorms made many people accumulate some negative energy, but they felt more lucky. After all, they could still have a place to stay in such a terrible natural disaster.

Southern Paradise.

Madman had just left Tiger Lord. With sufficient diesel, many things could be carried out smoothly.

Braving the rain, they came to a relatively large basement, which was their experimental field.

Some fill lights were installed above the basement, and below were some crops they had recently started to plant.

A week later, some green seedlings grew on the soil, which looked quite pleasing under the fill light.

Madman pulled a chair and leaned on it, his body was wet, and raindrops dripped from the corners of his clothes.

Seeing those green seedlings, he inexplicably thought of his daughter.

Thinking back to the time when she loved plants the most, she also studied botany in college, but the zombies broke out.

Madman no longer thought about it, pressed his hands on the chair, slowly got up, picked up the crutches next to him, and staggered to where he lived.

Beside the wall, Chen Er and others were fighting zombies in the heavy rain.

People in the end times always think of various ways to stop zombies. Like their South Paradise, they can survive until now, and naturally have their own way to resist zombies.

They put a huge steel cylinder under the wall, which can be raised and lowered freely. Many blades or spikes are welded on the cylinder.

This solid cylinder weighs 1.5 tons.

A slide similar to a railway is installed on the wall, and using the principle of lever, people push a horizontal bar on it, and the human thrust is amplified by the principle of lever, pushing the cylindrical blade below to move.

People run on the wall, and the cylindrical blade below is pushed below, and the zombies are knocked away by the heavy steel cylinder.

Even if there are many zombies, due to the great force of entrainment during the rapid push, coupled with the sharp blade, the stacked zombies can be split in half.

Although it consumes manpower, the effect seems to be good so far.

It's just a little tiring.

The wheels keep sliding and almost never stop. This is a relay race.

Without enough electricity, they can only use this human method.

However, there are many people in the Southern Paradise, two thousand people, enough manpower to support them to use this method.

West of Fujian Province.

Under Wuyi Mountain.

Four or five people are running in the mountains and forests, carrying packages on their backs, and dare not stop at all.

"Team leader, where can we go now?" A young man behind asked.

The leading man was carrying a black bag and wearing a coat covered with zombie flesh and blood, but in this rainstorm, the flesh and blood were constantly washed away by the rain.

"We can't go south, there are zombies in the west, let's go to the east mountain first." The leading man said quickly.

After that, he ran east in the rain.

Among the four or five people, only one flashlight illuminated the road ahead.

The road is slippery on rainy days, let alone in the dense forests.

In the dense forests, plants are lush, and the most common plant is called iron wolf fern, which is called "road fern" by the locals.

Iron wolf fern is a fern plant that grows on the mountains in the south, especially on some sandy soil slopes. It is a plant that tolerates poor soil and is not sensitive to drought.

These iron wolf fern are more than one meter high and can submerge half a person.

It is very difficult for them to walk in it, and the leaves scratch their faces from time to time.

They didn't know how long they walked in the mountain rain.

Maybe a few hours, maybe more than ten hours.

The sky was dark all the time, and they kept walking towards the east.

After crossing a mountain, they finally found a small house.

This small house was very simple, with an area of ​​less than ten square meters.

But they were already exhausted at this time, and it was good to find such a place.

The man quickly shone the flashlight inside, and there were no zombies.

There were some wooden shelves on both walls, and there were some plastic barrels on both shelves, but they were sealed, and no one knew what was inside.

"Come in quickly." After the leading team leader walked in, he said to the people behind him.

The three people behind him ran in.

After they came in, the leading man hurriedly closed the door, but the door had been in disrepair for a long time, and just after it was closed, it fell to the ground with a bang.

The man frowned and said to the few people who came in:

"Tail, Ansheng, you bring two things to hold the door first."

Dongdongdong!

Tui Zi threw the two backpacks on his shoulders to the ground. These were not only his own backpack, but also the backpacks of the team members who died on the road. There were food in them, so he naturally had to take them with him.

Tuizi turned on his flashlight, walked to the right, and used his hand to forcefully open the lid on the plastic barrel.

But he couldn't open it with one hand, so he bit the flashlight with his mouth, held the plastic barrel with one hand, and twisted it with the other hand.

The lid was sealed very tightly, and he twisted it until his veins popped, and finally twisted the lid open.

A strong smell of pine oil came.

Tuizi excitedly shone the flashlight into the oil barrel, and the yellow translucent liquid was pine oil!

This oil is hung from the pine tree and then slowly flows out. To accumulate such a barrel of pine oil, at least dozens of pine trees are needed for it to flow out.

The pine oil that can flow out of each pine tree is very limited. Before the end of the world, there was a profession that specialized in cutting the bark of pine trees and installing oil collection devices. They were busy in the mountains and forests all day.

This may be the small house they built for temporary rest.

"Brother Chen, this plastic barrel is filled with pine oil!" Tuizi shouted excitedly.

He couldn't help being so excited. They left the camphor tree base to carry out the mission, thinking of going far away to make a fortune.

But they never thought that they were fine when they went out, but it rained halfway back and they couldn't go back.

A team of more than 20 people encountered zombies on the road. If they hadn't abandoned the vehicle and fled to the forest, they would probably have died there.

They also stayed in some towns for two nights, but the zombies in the rainstorm had an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They were discovered and two more people died. The remaining people took the packages of their teammates and killed several zombies, chopped them up, and smeared the flesh and blood of the zombies on the surface of their clothes.

Using this method of cover, they escaped from the house and ran into the forest again.

But it was not safe to be too close to the road, so they kept running deep into the forest.

Unfortunately, they thought they had run two kilometers and felt that the forest here was almost safe. When they stopped to rest, a zombie who came out of nowhere bit a team member.

So they killed the zombies, picked up the packages of the team members, and fled again.

Wuyi Mountain covers thousands of square kilometers, and they have no idea where they are now deep in the forest.

After running in the rainstorm for a day and a night, they were soaked by the rain, and their faces and necks were covered with scratches from leaves.

"Pine oil?" Chen Delong, the team leader, was a little excited when he heard Tuizi say this.

Pine oil has many functions. It can be used as a lubricant before the end of the world, and many chemical products can use this thing.

It also has a sterilizing effect. The most important thing is that this thing can be burned, and it is very resistant to burning.

If there are more than a dozen such oil barrels in this house, and they are all filled with pine oil, they will be rich. At least they can dry clothes and keep warm on this cold rainy day.

"Move it over and hold the door first." Chen Delong said to Tuizi and Ansheng.

Tuizi bit the flashlight with his mouth, then picked up the pine oil barrel, moved it to the door, and held the wooden door.

Each barrel of oil weighed more than 40 kilograms, and two barrels of oil were placed behind the door to prevent it from falling down.

Brother Chen searched the room and found a long pole, then inserted one end into the door frame and the other end against the corner of the wall to form a support.

The rain hit the door, making crackling sounds, but at least the wooden door blocked the rain and the door did not fall down.

Chen Delong took a flashlight to check the things in this small room.

He opened every barrel of oil inside. When he saw that most of the barrels were filled with pine oil, he said to the three people behind him with joy on his face: "Brothers, let's rest here."

"Great! I can't walk anymore. I feel exhausted if I walk any further." An Sheng, who was next to him, heard this and immediately collapsed on the ground.

The other leg said happily: "Brother Chen, we have walked far enough. There should be no zombies here. We are so far away from the main road. If there are still zombies here, it would be unfair."

"Yeah." Brother Chen nodded, and then shone a flashlight on a tool bag next to the door.

He took the tool bag down and found some tools for cutting pine trees in it. They looked a bit like sickles and looked very sharp.

He also found a small bed inside, with an axe and a brazier under the bed.

The axe was rusty and looked like it had not been used for a long time.

The leg took off the wet clothes and hung them on the rack. He opened the luggage bag and found that everything inside was wet by the rain.

"Team leader, light the pine oil first. I feel that the temperature is less than ten degrees now. I am freezing to death." The leg said with purple lips and shivering.

In the cold rain, they kept walking. At least they were not so cold during exercise.

But now they stopped, and a deep chill rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Chen Delong nodded and said, "Okay, let's start a fire. Chop up the wooden frame and burn it. Otherwise, it would be a waste to just burn the pine oil."

Ansheng nodded, took the axe handed to him by Brother Chen, and dismantled the frame with one axe after another.

At the same time, they put the barrels of pine oil on the right.

More than a dozen barrels of pine oil looked quite spectacular.

Sizzle!

The flames rose.

They threw the wood into the brazier, and the flames illuminated the small room.

A faint warmth came.

Brother Chen opened the dilapidated small window slightly, and the whole room was very cramped. With four people and more than a dozen barrels of pine oil, it seemed very crowded.

Everyone took off their wet coats, took down some plastic bags hanging on the nails on the west wall, and then hung their clothes up.

A fire was nearby to dry the clothes.

"Hey! Brother Chen, look what I found, smoked black pork." Legs said excitedly when he saw a long black object hanging on the roof.

"Shit, you call this black pork?" An Sheng reached out and picked off the black object.

The whole body is more than thirty centimeters long. While the surface is black, there are some white hairs growing in some places.

An Sheng touched the thing and it was hard.

He took it and knocked it on the edge of the brazier, making a clanging sound.

"You call this pork? Have you ever seen pork that looks like this?" An Sheng said with a smile.

Legs came over, snatched it away, and looked at it carefully.

With a smile on his lips, he said: "You don't understand, I'm from the countryside, this thing looks like this, it looks top-notch.

This kind of pork is first cured with salt, then air-dried, and then hung on the kitchen ceiling.

When firewood is burned in the countryside, black burning objects fly onto the pork, which remains in a state of being smoked. Over time, the whole meat becomes hardened.

This piece of pork looks to be at least eight or nine years old. "

"Eighty or nine years? Can you still eat it after such a long time?" An Sheng said it was impossible.

Chen Delong, who had stripped down to only a pair of shorts, squatted next to the brazier, warming his hands over the fire, and said with a smile:

"Don't say eight or nine years old, there are some thirty years old. This thing should be pork. I have seen it before. After it is cut open, the meat inside is crystal clear and can be eaten raw."

An Sheng's eyes widened when he heard Team Leader Chen's answer. He didn't believe in his legs, but he believed in the team leader.

The team leader has said so, so it should be fine.

Legs glanced at An Sheng and said with a smile: "When I clean the surface, you will know what it looks like. If you can, don't eat it."

"Why can't I eat it? I took it." An Sheng said.

Zhuo Jun, who had been quietly packing his luggage, said to Chen Delong in a low voice: "Team leader, our current food is only enough to last us twenty days."

Chen Delong frowned when he heard this and asked: "Didn't we take six packages from other people? Plus the four of us, how could it only be enough for twenty days?"

Zhuo Jun said: "Team leader, we have been out for half a month and we have run out of food."

After Chen Delong heard this, his joy at discovering black pork was diluted a lot.

After pondering for a few seconds, he began to assign tasks to several people.

"Legs, cut this piece of meat into tenths, wash it, cut it into slices later, and mix it into the porridge to cook."

"Ansheng, Zhuo Jun, you go over here and find some firewood."

The three of them said, "Okay."

After saying that, he walked out with an ax or machete.

Chen Delong looked at the burning wood on the ground and poured a little more pine oil into it again. After adding the pine oil again, the originally small flame suddenly became much larger.

He looked at the fire, inserted the dagger into the oil barrel, dipped it in a little pine oil, and rubbed it on his neck.

The scratch on my neck was burning and painful.

Pine oil is less irritating and very mild, but very sticky.

It's sticky and smeared on the neck and face, like a lump of snot stuck to it.

But the pine oil exudes a light fragrance, which is not that unpleasant.

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and the entire hut seemed like a leaf of duckweed in the ocean.

They were on the top of a mountain, so they didn't have to worry about the danger of flooding.

The surrounding trees are tall and inaccessible, and very few zombies will appear here.

It would be better to take a rest and wait until the heavy rain stops before returning to the base.

It's just that this time there were twenty or thirty of them. They were full of confidence and ran out to do a high-point mission, but they never thought that they would find something.

But there was a heavy rain and everything was gone, including the car.

Forget it, the key is that in their group, there are only four of them left.

Thinking of this, Brother Chen clenched his fists and hammered the bed board hard.

When this person is unlucky, his teeth will get clogged even if he drinks cold water.

grass!

There was only twenty days' worth of food left. If they hadn't gotten other people's food, they probably wouldn't have lasted even a week.

It's raining so hard, who knows when it will stop.

If you run out now, you will die. You can't stay in the city, and you can't stay in the country either.

But in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, if there is no such small house, it will be exposed to heavy rain all the time. Sooner or later, it will freeze to death due to hypothermia.

After a long time, Chen Delong's fist slowly relaxed.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. If he was not greedy and returned to the base early, based on the style of the previous Big Zhangshu Base, he would probably have taken his brothers into the Big Zhangshu Base and stayed there safely.

Looking at this small room with air leakage, I remembered how I had to hide from natural disasters in the greenhouse of Da Zhangshu base.

I feel a little ridiculous.

At that time, he also felt that the greenhouse was very narrow and crowded with many people.

But compared with now, being inside the Da Zhangshu Base is simply paradise.

Who knows when they are here, a zombie will suddenly come out. After all, zombies are mobile and can smell the human body.

In the forest, we can only say that the probability of zombies appearing is relatively small, but we cannot absolutely say that there are no zombies.

Moreover, if there is no pine oil, if the rain continues to fall and the temperature drops, they will probably be frozen to death.

"Damn it, why am I doing this!" Brother Chen smiled bitterly.

It's warm and safe in the base, how nice.

But now in such an environment, he can only accept it.

Suddenly, he saw several coats on the ground.

With a thought, he picked up the coat, walked to the window, and nailed these clothes on.

Zombies have a very sensitive sense of smell in the rainstorm and can smell the breath of the human body.

But they will not react to their own kind.

He did this because he thought that wearing these clothes with zombie flesh and blood could avoid zombies before, and maybe nailing them on the window would be useful.

(Please give me a monthly ticket!)
