Chapter 79: Ancient City Corpse Ladder
After driving southwest from Qinhuangdao for two days, it was getting dark again. It seemed that before we had gone very far, another day passed in a hurry. The speed of the two horses was really not as fast as the car, and the originally long journey was dragged away.
It would take longer. There is no way around it. After all, the journey south is extremely difficult and dangerous, and there are countless corpses on the way. If we just drive forward, we will definitely be blocked. Driving is far less flexible than riding a horse. Without these two horses, we would have been long gone.
Disaster.
After walking for a few miles, I still didn't know where I was passing. I encountered a five or six-meter-high city tower with a deep arch below. There were no walls on both sides. A narrow stone step stretched from the back side to the top of the building.
There is a loft built on top, and the floating glass and bright oil paint prove that this is a gorgeous antique building.
It was the safest place nearby, so the group parked the car at the foot of the city tower, fed the horses, and quickly climbed up the stone steps to the attic.
Looking down from the top of the building, the surrounding situation is clear at a glance. There is no need to worry about zombie attacks at a height of five or six meters, but there are hidden dangers in the stairs at the back. So everyone found a few wooden boards from the attic and put them against the stairs, and the boss smashed them with a hammer.
A pile of blue bricks was built behind it, more than two meters high, enough to block the zombies' approach.
The shelter was quickly repaired, and after a day's work, I could finally take a good rest. It was a little cold in the attic, and Lao Si suggested lighting a fire to keep warm, but lighting an open fire in such a high place was nothing more than seeking death. But Xiao Rui thought
Coming up with a good idea, he and the bald man built a simple stove with bricks, then chopped up the bench and filled it in, poured some gasoline on it and lit it, and the stove started to burn.
Everyone was immersed in the long-lost warmth. Only the boss huddled in the corner silently, unwilling to come forward to join in the fun. In fact, he was avoiding Xiao Rui and Xiao Mo. Whenever he saw the two of them cuddling closely,
Together, he felt extremely sad.
In fact, that morning in Shili Village, he decided to leave resolutely, because when he rode into the siege, he had a package on his back. He wanted to leave quietly in the morning while we were still awake, but inadvertently
He found that we were trapped, so he changed direction, rushed straight into the village, and rescued us. Seeing that he showed signs of leaving, everyone tried to persuade him, and then reluctantly let him stay, but he and
The gap between Xiao Rui and Xiaomo still clearly exists. He can never let go of that emotion, the depression and sadness. This is inevitable. After all, it will take longer for the boss to adapt and care.
The scar that aches in Ping's heart.
The fire was burning brightly, and the firelight filtered through the cracks in the bricks and dimly reflected on the carved window lattice. The windows were made of wood, just like the ancient buildings, and were covered with a thin layer of bamboo strips. Such a weak firelight seemed not enough.
It attracted the attention of the zombies. Besides, the tower was so high and the stone steps were sealed, so the zombies couldn't attack it anyway. So everyone dropped their guard and fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden rustling sound outside the door, like mice scurrying around, so I stood up alertly, pulled out my sword, and gently opened the door...
There was nothing outside the door. The bright moonlight shone coldly on the tower. The cold wind made the eaves bells rattle. The obstacles on the stone steps were intact. There was nothing unusual outside. Maybe I was too vigilant.
Okay, so I stretched my waist, yawned, closed the door and went back to sleep.
"Oh...ah..."
A terrifying sound woke me up again, and I was wondering if it was an hallucination.
"Uh...oh..."
The sound was thick and strange, and it sounded again, which made people shudder. I am sure that this is not an illusion!
I immediately drew my sword out of its sheath, hurriedly woke up the others, and was about to rush out the door to see what was going on, but the door was suddenly knocked open!
Everyone was scared out of their wits and stood there tremblingly. They saw two skinny zombies rushing in with claws and claws. They were unkempt and had a mouth full of fangs. They were braving the cold in the moonlight. When they saw us, they pounced on us.
She came in. Xiaomo was closest to the door. In the blink of an eye, she was pushed to the ground by two zombies. The zombies "oooooooo..." bit her in the face. Xiaomo pinched the zombie's neck tightly and resisted.
Zombie attack.
Zhang Chen and Chen Hongyan had quick eyesight and quick hands. When they saw the zombies breaking in, they slashed with their knives. The two zombies were instantly killed and lay on the ground.
The roars outside were still coming one after another, but when I rushed out, there was no trace.
How did those two zombies get in?! Could it be...
...A sense of inexplicable fear instantly hit his body, and every hair on his body stood up...
We looked down silently and saw a mass of black corpses crowded under the tower! What was even more shocking was that the zombies actually piled up a human wall, leaning against the tower in layers, teetering on the edge of the tower!
Suddenly, another zombie successfully climbed up. As soon as it showed its head, its head was cut off by the boss. The zombies were still coming up one after another, and then fell down one after another. Fortunately, the height of the city wall was difficult to climb, so the one who rushed up was lucky.
There were only a few zombies. Several men were guarding the top of the city tower with weapons. As long as a zombie poked its head out, they would kill them. Chen Hongyan was protecting Jiayi Xiaomo in the house. In this way, the dangerous situation was finally under control.
.
"Oops! Something happened to Xiaomo!"
At this time, Jiayi suddenly opened the door and shouted loudly, while Chen Hongyan was holding Xiaomo on the ground.
"What's wrong!"
Several people outside rushed into the room. They saw Xiaomo's eyes were red, her veins were exposed, her nose was bleeding, and her whole body was twitching violently. She grabbed Chen Hongyan's collar tightly and wanted to bite her, but Chen Hongyan
Hold on with all your strength.
Xiaomo is infected...she should have been infected when she was knocked down by a zombie just now. This kind of venom can only be infected when it comes into contact with a wound or enters the body. It may be that the zombie was too close to her face, and the venom from its mouth dripped onto Xiaomo's face.
In the mouth...
Xiao Rui's heart seemed to burst suddenly, and there was a burst of suffocation and severe pain, and his whole body collapsed there...
"Xiao Mo! Xiao Mo!..."
He desperately threw himself on Xiaomo's chest, and was pulled away with difficulty by everyone. Tears streamed down his face. Despair and grief filled his heart... His underground love affair with Xiaomo had only been announced a few days ago.
Oh my god, I encountered such a misfortune. Although Xiao Rui was not good at ordinary times, he was absolutely serious and loyal to the girl he liked. Xiaomo was his first love. Xiaomo's death was nothing but extremely heavy for him.
blow.
The boss was in agony and stood silently crying. Although Xiaomo chose to leave him, he still only had her in his heart. The boss was a person who valued love and justice. On the surface, he was somewhat resistant to Xiaomo, but he couldn't let go.
Yes, it was still Xiaomo, otherwise when Xiao Rui and Xiaomo were together, he would not hide miserably in the corner, let alone choose to leave on the morning of the incident.
Xiaomo's situation was really unprepared. She was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye she became a different person. She forgot about the group of friends in front of her and the people she loved deeply. Her eyes turned red and she bared her teeth.
She was originally cute and playful and completely turned into a ferocious zombie. Xiaomo was the first to be in trouble with us. Although she lacked thinking in doing things, her optimism brought happiness to everyone. No one wanted her to leave, and no one thought about the beautiful girl.
The girl just turned into a ferocious monster.
Zhang Chen silently waved the Tang Dao. He wanted to end this innocent life like he killed Azhi, but he was stopped by a group of people. Xiaomo is a girl, how could she bear such a crime? She is still young and beautiful.
Girl, how can I bear to let her head disappear...
Everyone found ropes and tied Xiaomo tightly to the pillar. She will stay here forever and live in another way...
A trace of pure white appeared in the east, and the faint glow slowly refracted from the sea level, making the attic sparkle. Only eight people were left standing at the top of the city, with crystal tears floating in the corners of their eyes. Xiaomo was still wailing there.
She looked at the red-hot clouds on the horizon, and the warm morning glow stung her eyes. She grabbed it with her hands and blocked it with all her strength, until the whole world was illuminated into daylight. She stared at her blood-red eyes and looked towards
