Chapter 39: Back to the Carbine
The photo in the pocket watch is still very new. It must have been installed not long ago. The family of four in the photo are enjoying themselves happily. Who would have imagined that a family would encounter such a change in the blink of an eye.
"This insect plague is much greater than what has happened in the past hundreds of years. It has broken out on all continents. It can be said to be unprecedented. I never thought that our family would have to escape one day..." Looking at the numbers in the pocket watch
Photo, Uncle He smiles bitterly
"Indeed, there are some things that we cannot predict!" Wang Wuyuan nodded with deep feeling.
Uncle He carefully put the pocket watch into the velvet bag, put the bag in his arms and put it away, buttoning the pocket in his arms, "I was originally one of the later transfers, but the situation worsened and Zerg appeared in large numbers.
The White Deer Family troops we transferred encountered the Zerg, suffered heavy casualties, and were immediately dispersed. Everyone had to find their own way to escape!"
"We should be able to reach Grindstone City in five days' walk from here..."
"The premise is that we don't encounter any damn bugs on the road!" Uncle He's face gradually became serious, there were several deep ravines between his eyebrows, and a trace of worry climbed up the top of his eyebrows, "We have never encountered any on the road before.
I saw so many man-eating bugs, especially this knife beetle, which is one of the main forces of the Zerg clan. Basically, they do not act alone. These bugs should have come upstream along the river. Maybe they are the vanguard of the Zerg clan. Here
Behind the sword beetle, more and more Zerg will appear, and the road behind may become more and more dangerous! "
Hearing what Uncle He said, Wang Wuyin also frowned. While Uncle He was talking, Wang Wuyin had quietly pulled up the map and looked at it carefully, then shook his head, "There is no map here.
The shortcut to Grindstone City is the one outside the town just now, so we must set off immediately. Once we are surrounded by those bugs, we will really be unable to leave!"
Uncle He didn't know that Wang Wuyin had just looked at the map without anyone noticing. The expression on his face changed a little. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Wang Wuyin immediately noticed it.
"Uncle He, what do you want to say?"
"This... I have a way, maybe we can get to Grindstone City earlier?"
"Oh, what can Uncle He do?"
"In the town just now, everyone was sleeping. Because those man-eating insects appeared so suddenly, there was still one car in the town that hadn't driven out..."
"Is there another car in town?" Wang Wuyin's eyes lit up.
"Yeah!" Uncle He nodded, "That car is the broken down car we found on the road two days ago. It was repaired and the fuel was found and can be used. If we can get the car out, we can do it in one day.
You can reach Grindstone City in just a short time, and the possibility of being surrounded by those Zerg on the road is very low..."
"Are there other sword beetles in the town just now?"
"No more. There were only man-eating insects in the town just now, and those man-eating insects ran out after us, so..."
"So there may not be many bugs in the town now..." Wang Wuyuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he understood what Uncle He meant.
"It's also possible that there are a lot of bugs in the town at this time, so you have to take a certain risk if you go back!" He Dashu licked his lips and looked at Wang Wuyin, intending to consult Wang Wuyin because he wanted to go back.
In this small town, Wang Wuyin is the main force...
Wang Wuyin thought for a moment. Uncle He's proposal was very tempting. If it succeeded, the benefits would be self-evident. It would be possible to avoid the dangers behind. But if we go back, if the situation in the town goes bad, there will also be great consequences.
danger.
They are all dangerous, it depends on how you choose.
"Uncle He, what do you think?"
Uncle He gritted his teeth, with a resolute expression on his face, as if he was risking his life, "If I rely on these feet, I'm worried that I won't be able to reach Grindstone City. If I encounter danger again, I may not be so lucky."
I can run away, so I want to try it!"
"Okay, then let's go back and take a look!" Wang Wuyin also stood up and looked around the forest, "But we'd better find a way to go back!"
"I came here with someone yesterday to pick up mushrooms and wild vegetables. I know there is a way to go back..." Uncle He also stood up at once, looked around, and then pointed in a direction to the southeast.
"When we go around the hill, we can see the town. There is a road in the hills over there..."
The two people looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes.
Then there is nothing to hesitate about.
"Uncle He, do you want to rest again?" Wang Wuyin asked.
"No, here you go!" He Dashu handed over two more grenades, "This one is more effective than mine!"
"how about you?"
"I still have one, I will keep it for self-protection at the end, and I promise not to leave myself to those bugs as food!"
Wang Wuyin put away the two grenades and said nothing more, "Okay, let's go!"
The two of them carefully moved towards the hillock over there.
At this time, there were still gunshots coming from the woods, but they were more sparse. I don’t know what happened to the people who were running away for their lives. Wang Wuyin had already killed the most difficult sword beetle, and the rest could only accept their fate.
.
It seemed that the two of them had killed too many man-eating insects. On the way back to the town, the two of them did not encounter a single man-eating insect.
Half an hour later, the two people lay down behind a hilly bush and looked at the town in front of them again.
The sun had come out at this time, and the fog on the riverside of the town had faded a lot. The entire town showed a clear outline in front of Wang Wuyuan's eyes. The bad place where the sword beetle appeared just now was already two miles east of the two of them.
.
Wang Wuyin's sharp gaze swept across the town. The town in front of him was peaceful and quiet, with no insects visible, but no one could guarantee that there was no deadly murderous intention in the town.
Uncle He also looked at it, and then the two of them retracted their heads.
Uncle He used a branch to draw the topography and streets of the town for Wang Wuyuan on the ground. "We are here now. Through these hills, we can enter the town from this bridge. After entering the town, we can cross
This street, a few hundred meters further east, is the central square of the town. The car is placed next to the central square. It can be started as long as you get in the car. Then we drove the car along the road we left just now.
, as long as there are no sword beetles, you won’t be afraid even if there are a few man-eating insects on the road. What do you think of this plan?”
Wang Wuyin looked at it and nodded, "This plan is okay. Let me add one more thing. I will walk in front. Uncle He, follow me. Don't stick too close. Keep a little distance. If there is danger, I will take those things first.
The bugs are holding me back, so you don’t need to worry about me or get entangled with those bugs. Just retreat back to the original route. Don’t wait for me. Leave by yourself when you have the chance. I can run fast and can evacuate from other places!”
Uncle He looked at Wang Wuyuan with complicated eyes and nodded silently.
After discussing, the two people crossed the hills again and sneaked back into the town carefully, with Wang Wuyin in front and Uncle He behind.
To be honest, Wang Wuyin was also a little nervous, fearing that the bugs would make dumplings. However, thinking of his own abilities, Wang Wuyin felt more at ease. No matter what, as long as a bug discovered them, Wang Wuyin would definitely be the first one.
One who can feel it will at least not be ambushed by those bugs.
All the buildings in this town are still intact and have little damage. It's just that early in the morning, there is no one, there is only a layer of mist, and there are some scattered rags, broken furniture and other things on the streets of the town.
It looks a little scary.
Wang Wuyin walked in front, and Uncle He walked behind. Both of them were careful, for fear of making any noise.
The two people crossed the bridge and entered the town. They didn't encounter any man-eating bugs on the way and soon approached the central square of the town.
Wang Wuyin revealed a pair of eyes from the corner, glanced quickly, and then retracted his head.
With just one glance, Wang Wuyin could clearly see the situation in the central square of the town.
The central square of the town covers an area of dozens of acres. There are six streets around the square. Wang Wuyin saw a car parked on the side of the square opposite them. It was fifty or sixty meters away from them in a straight line. That car was not an ordinary car.
It's not a car, but a truck with six wheels. There are some things piled in the cargo pocket of the truck.
Like the car I saw before, that truck was also modified. The front of the truck was equipped with a ram angle, and the surrounding area was reinforced with steel plates. There was also a heavy machine gun-like thing mounted on top of the truck.
However, the square was not empty. Instead, there were almost seventy or eighty man-eating insects wandering around.
The man-eating insects have not yet noticed Wang Wuyuan's arrival, so they are relatively scattered and some distance away from the truck.
Wang Wuyin, who was hiding on the street corner, made a gesture to Uncle He behind him, and Uncle He walked over with gentle steps.
"Uncle He, is that the truck you're talking about?" Wang Wuyin asked in a lowered voice.
"Yes, park on the street opposite us!" Uncle He nodded, glanced warily towards the square, and then asked, "Are there any man-eating insects in the square?"
"Yes, a lot!"
"About how many?"
"I just took a look and found that there were about seventy or eighty man-eating bugs in the square!"
Uncle He took a slight breath of air. Seventy or eighty man-eating insects were not a small number. If so many man-eating insects swarmed over, they would kill people.
Even if Wang Wuyin's marksmanship can hit every shot and knock out one magazine, the man-eating bugs can only kill thirty. In the gap between changing magazines, the man-eating bugs rushing towards Wang Wuyin may be able to kill him.
Life.
Moreover, Wang Wuyin only has two magazines left on his body. One of the magazines has almost half of the bullets left, and there are probably less than fifty bullets left. What should I do?
