Chapter 307 Running away
Seeing that the ranks of the walking dead are getting stronger day by day, and the relatively small number of alien beasts are becoming more and more endangered day by day, in less than three days, everyone realizes that if they continue to stay here, it will be difficult to leave their homeland.
"No, we must retreat!"
"Brother Li Cang is right. If we continue to hold on like this, we may not even have a chance to escape in a few days."
"We have to find a dangerous island that can be defended. It's best to collect the survivors."
After a long discussion, including the mining batch, almost unanimously approved the moving plan and immediately packed up and ran away.
Night is not an option. Although the eyesight of the walking zombies is not much better than that of humans, their sense of smell is terrible. The total amount of black oil on the survivors is not enough for two people. If the walking zombies catch the opportunity while traveling at night, they will leave in vain. The destruction of the group is not far away.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the sun was still rising and falling around the horizon.
"Very good, now is the time when the walking zombies are least active. With the naked eye, there is almost no movement of them around. It's the right time!"
Running away is more than just running away. It's best to find a suitable air island. If you can't find it, you must build defenses again before dark, otherwise you won't be able to survive the night.
Li Cang tied something that looked like a "seat" to Miss Qiu's body. Li Laisi could barely stabilize her body by relying on this thing to prevent her from falling casually.
Afterwards, more than 50 people, including the miners, silently took out the fence and set off in the direction they had chosen.
The physique of the survivors is much higher than that of ordinary people. Even if they save energy and jog the whole way, they can reach 20 to 30 kilometers per hour. The route they choose will probably pass through six to seven temporary camps with the fire still burning, trying to gather the remaining survivors, and then Arrive at the area where the distance between the empty islands is getting wider and wider.
The sun has not yet risen, and dozens of sneaky figures appear on the dark ground of the tundra, advancing silently.
"Damn, how many walking corpses are there"
There are corpses all over the ground, and the bodily fluids of certain species of walking corpses and alien animals seem to be very corrosive. The vegetation turns to gray wherever they pass, leaving irregular patches of dirty mud. Occasionally, walking corpses can be seen. Large trumpet flowers sprouted and coins jingled.
As expected, there was no one alive in the camp that Chef Xu mentioned was the closest to them and the first to extinguish the fire. Everyone picked up some usable weapons and equipment and left quickly.
"There are about twenty zombies just under the mound," Song Cheng, who was exploring the way, was waiting for the large army on a mound. "There are some lone ones, but all of them are heavily armored zombies, so it's not easy to deal with them."< br>
Dozens of walking corpses were not a big threat. What they were afraid of was making some noise and attracting a swarm of corpses.
"Can you go around it?"
The answer is obviously no. If possible, Song Cheng would not have waited for the large army to come over and would have informed them of a detour.
Everyone lay down and took a look, and quickly made a decision.
"They are not in good condition. They probably haven't picked up any decent food and are very sluggish. If we press down from this angle, we will be face to face with them in a matter of seconds. Moreover, the zombies will only growl once they enter combat mode. That’s all, as long as it’s fast enough!”
There were a few guys with vaguely excited expressions - whether here or in the past, zombies have always been stalking and killing humans. Whenever I have fought such a stealth assassination battle, I feel like I am in trouble.
"Then charge directly?"
"Yes!"
"Brothers, no matter what, you must attack the necks of the zombies first to prevent them from screaming. Be careful, everyone will bite them, but there will be no antibiotics to save you, and no one will collect the corpses."
There was a low laugh from everyone, those who tied their shoes tied their shoes, and those who tightened their belts.
Chef Xu waved the pitch-black pan, and a group of people rushed towards the small group of zombies like mice in the grass in autumn.
The mound was only 20 to 30 meters high, and it was just a blink of an eye from the top. Song Cheng, the fastest runner, was almost face-to-face with the corpses, and only then did a sleepy walking corpse notice him.
"Poof~"
Song Cheng slashed the zombie's Adam's apple with his hand knife, slashing the sounds brewing in its mouth back into its cavity along with its Adam's apple, leaving only the sound of spewing blood foam. Song Cheng took a breath of air and turned pale.
"I'm so fucking hard"
Li Cang, Zhang Zihao and others arrived in the second group, swung their big wands and smashed the heads of three zombies one after another like watermelons.
What Zhang Zihao held in his hand was a long, straight, alienated bone and alloy imitation praying Tang knife. It could be folded, and when fully unfolded, it was almost one meter in length. It was extremely sharp.
The swishing sound of the wind sounded, and the two zombies who had just opened their eyes were cut into two pieces from head to navel.
In just five seconds, the last zombie fell heavily into the mud just as it was halfway up and before it could stand firmly.
"No wonder these zombies refuse to leave, there is a swamp around here!"
The black mud was covered with short dead grass and gray-green moss. It was almost indistinguishable from the normal ground. Fortunately, the frost flowers formed by the water traces drew the outline of the solid ground in circles. We were able to pass through this swamp without any danger.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
The people on duty at the second gathering point had already observed this group of people and had woken up all their companions in advance.
"Run away!" Zhang Zihao said the same thing quickly, "Are you coming?"
"No fool will come!"
After passing 7 gathering points, the team of only about 50 people at the beginning quickly expanded to more than 600 people. There were many more survivors than imagined.
"Brother Li Cang, a recent wave of people said that there is a gathering point ahead, behind the hill. There may be hundreds of people, but you have to take a detour to get there."
"How far?"
"Let's go northwest. The gathering point is in the southwest. I calculated that we may have to walk an extra forty or fifty miles."
"It's still early, let's go!"
When more than 600 people climbed up the mountain, there was only a loud "fuck" in their heads.
The gathering point is currently fighting against a group of zombies. Under the hill covered with shrubs, there are densely packed human and walking corpses. At first glance, the number may not be in the thousands.
"Everyone, look over there, there is an isolated island and two garbage mountains!"
"God help me!"
"What are you waiting for, brothers, rush!"
More than 600 people rushed down the mountain with cheers. The people at the gathering point on the opposite side could no longer bear it. When they saw the support of their fellow human beings rushing up, their eyes turned red.
"Brothers, another brother is coming, everyone, hold on!"
"Hahaha, there is no end to the road!"
"Rush!"
The two parties met and surrounded the zombies in the middle to beat them up. The zombies were stunned at that time, and their numbers were not large enough. After the first wave of people came up, some zombies immediately started defecting mode.
"Don't be too eager to fight. There are already corpses in the distance who heard the noise and came over," Li Cang yelled, "Retreat to the direction of the isolated island and bring all useful things such as ropes and weapons!"
