There is an old saying that a gentleman can deceive others and a villain can lure them to their advantage.
When you meet a good old man like Ye Zhiqiu, if you can't scrape off two ounces of oil, this is simply a failure in life and is intolerable.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming's smile became more friendly, and he said without hesitation: "Ye Zhiqiu, Anning Town has a population of several thousand, and it is troublesome to dispose of corpses. I decided to stay and help you!"
"really?"
Ye Zhiqiu didn't realize he was there, and happily took out an iron sword and handed it into Wu Ming's hand: "This is a rune sword with Taoist spells engraved on it. People who are bitten by zombies have corpse energy on their bodies. Use this sword."
Stab the corpse and it will burn!"
After obtaining the rune sword, Wu Ming and Ye Zhiqiu split up and began to clean up the corpses in the town.
The entire town of Anning can be said to have turned into a hell on earth, and very few people survived.
Wu Ming searched dozens of houses and only found a half-year-old child in a large tank filled with water. He had not been killed by zombies.
But it's a pity that the child soaked in the water for half the night and was frightened by zombies. He had a high fever and didn't know if he could survive it.
"Ye Zhiqiu, how are you doing over there?"
"The cleanup is almost complete. Even if there are a few fish that slipped through the net, it won't have much impact. By the way, I rescued a few people here. Have you met anyone alive over there?"
Behind Ye Zhiqiu, there were five people, three men and two women, with frightened expressions on their faces.
Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu had found five living people, Wu Ming pointed to the room next to him and said: "I found a little boy with a fever. I have given him antipyretic medicine and the little Narcissus is taking care of him. However, the child's condition
Something's not right, I'm worried he won't survive tonight!"
"I'm going to take a look!" Ye Zhiqiu quickly stood up and walked towards the room next to him.
When I got to the room, I saw a three or four-year-old boy lying on the bed in the room. The boy's face was blue, his eyes were tightly closed, and he was still talking nonsense.
"Mother, don't bite my mother, don't"
The little Narcissus held a towel in her hand and kept wiping the little boy's sweat. When she saw Ye Zhiqiu walking in, she even made a silent gesture.
Seeing the movements of the little Narcissus, Ye Zhiqiu walked over cautiously and stepped forward to take the boy's pulse.
"Ye Zhiqiu, how is this little boy? Can he be saved?" Wu Ming walked in and asked Ye Zhiqiu in a low voice.
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head gently, covered the little boy with a quilt, and said in a low voice: "The pulse is chaotic, and the black energy is shrouded in the center of the eyebrows. Just obey fate in everything you do!"
After saying this, Ye Zhiqiu and Wu Ming retreated, sighing at the fragility of life.
At this time, three men and two women, five rescued villagers, were sitting in the lobby of the inn.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu and Wu Ming coming out, the three of them stood up quickly and asked, "Taoist Master, what should we do? Is the town safe?"
"this"
"It's very safe here, no need to worry!"
Just as Ye Zhiqiu was about to speak, Wu Ming spoke first and interrupted him.
After hearing what Wu Ming said, Ye Zhiqiu showed doubts on his face and whispered: "Is the town safe?"
"It's safe, but if you don't lie to them, are you going to say that zombies have surrounded the town and everyone has their own fate?" Of course Wu Ming would not think that the town is safe, otherwise neither would the zombies last night
The town was captured.
It's just that at this time, people's hearts are in need of stability.
If they don't tell some white lies, these five ordinary people will have to collapse, and then they will be in trouble again.
Sure enough, everyone looked much better after hearing the news that the town was safe, no matter what the real situation was.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Zhiqiu secretly gave a thumbs up and whispered: "Your method is better. I almost told the truth just now. However, I can't stay here any longer. I'm afraid the zombies will come at night."
, I can’t protect so many people!”
"Then what do you want to do, go forward or backward? The road in front is where the zombies started, and it seems to be the direction of their lair. The road in the back has few people within a hundred miles. We are afraid
You can't outrun the zombies!" Wu Ming expressed his worries, both paths were difficult to take.
If you're lucky, there's still a slight possibility of getting out.
If you are unlucky and encounter a large army of zombies at night, you may get dumped.
Hearing Wu Ming's words, Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and said: "We can't go back. Last night, I ran towards the back. The more I ran, the more zombies there were, and the road was blocked by zombies. But I couldn't go forward.
If we go forward, to be honest, I’m not sure. We don’t know where the zombies come from. If we plunge into the zombie’s lair, we might be in trouble!”
Ye Zhiqiu was cautious, and Wu Ming couldn't take it lightly.
Waving his hand to signal Ye Zhiqiu to stay calm, Wu Ming walked to the five villagers and said, "Five of you, you are from Anning Town. Can you tell me where this zombie was first found?"
"The mine is a mine!"
A man stood up and hurriedly explained: "There are many mineral veins around Anning Town, and everyone has always relied on them. Some time ago, a mine collapsed, exposing an underground cave, and the zombies came from there.
It’s coming out of the inside!”
The man's explanation was very vague. In many places, he just heard it from hearsay and could only use it as a reference.
Wu Ming listened to the general idea, and after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that the road ahead was still feasible. As long as the road was not blocked by zombies and he avoided the cave where the corpse was hidden, there was a high chance that he could get through.
"Let's take the road in front. The road behind has been blocked by zombies. We can only try the road in front. Otherwise, when it gets dark and we stay in this small town, we will really be a sheep in a tiger's mouth." 2
After some discussion, the people decided to move forward and take a gamble on their luck.
At that moment, everyone hurriedly had lunch with the food stored in the inn.
Then, five villagers, three men, two women, were asked to carry the little boy who had a high fever and set off on the road under the noon sun.
This walk lasted an afternoon. Due to the overflow of zombies, there were no birds or animals along the way, and everything we passed was peaceful.
When it was getting dark, Wu Ming and his party walked more than thirty miles on their own feet. According to the words of several villagers, they would be able to reach the county seat in front of them in another twenty miles.
"It's dark now. Everyone, be careful of zombies and be sure to observe your surroundings. As long as we can reach the county town ahead before midnight, we will be safe when we get to the county town!" Ye Zhiqiu boosted morale and urged everyone to speed up their pace.
The next moment, before everyone could gather their energy, two villagers carrying a stretcher exclaimed: "It's not good, come and have a look, I'm afraid the little guy is going to die!"
Hearing that the little boy was going to die, Ye Zhiqiu frowned even though he had already had such a premonition in his heart.
After walking a few steps, Wu Ming and Ye Zhiqiu walked to the little boy. They saw that the little boy had rolled his eyes and died after a while.
"Leave him here, the scenery here is very nice, he will like it!" Wu Ming covered the little boy with a sheet and asked two villagers to put him on the roadside.
Seeing Wu Ming's actions, Ye Zhiqiu's face looked a little ugly, and he hesitated to speak several times.
Wu Ming knew that Ye Zhiqiu wanted to leave a grave for the little boy, but he could only shake his head slightly and whispered: "Let's hit the road, it's getting dark."
When it gets dark, zombies will come out, leaving not much time.
In one afternoon, everyone walked more than thirty miles and almost reached the limit.
If we are digging a grave for a little boy, even if we don't encounter zombies, everyone's physical strength will not be able to keep up.
"What kind of world is this? Human life is as worthless as a piece of grass. You can't even rest in the grave!" Looking at the little boy who was covered with a quilt and laid down on the roadside, Ye Zhiqiu let out a deep breath.
Hearing the sound, Wu Ming shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly in his heart: "Grave, this is a Chinese chat room!" (To be continued.)
