Chapter 1532 How scary is the primeval forest at night?
The zombie wild boar charges over at this critical moment.
Zhu Ziming yelled: "Throw the black bear carcass on the ground!"
Sun Peng and Wen Qian were entangled. This was the biggest gain of their trip, a large animal that they had hunted with great difficulty.
"Hurry! I'm almost dead and I can't bear to do this, so I'm going to throw it at those zombie wild boars!" Zhu Ziming was so angry that his heart ached when he saw that the two of them hadn't made any move.
He rushed over in two or three steps and said, "Get out of the way!"
Together, the three of them threw the black bear carcass, which weighed three hundred kilograms, toward the back.
They happened to be halfway up the mountain, and the black bear body was thrown down. It rolled down and hit a zombie wild boar at the front.
"Why are you still standing there! Run!" Zhu Ziming saw Wen Qian still looking at the zombie boar behind him and slapped him on the shoulder.
"run!"
Wang Jing and the others who were following behind were shocked.
He ran frantically up the mountain for fear of being overtaken by a zombie boar if he ran too slowly.
While running, Zhu Ziming glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all the zombie wild boars behind him had stopped and were gnawing around the black bear carcass.
Lao Meng and Tian Shiming, who were supporting Xie Zihao, directly lifted Xie Zihao up and sprinted madly up the mountain.
They ran and charged as fast as they could.
After climbing to the top of this mountain, everyone's backs were soaked, as if they had been fished out of water.
Wang Jing looked behind, stopped, and shouted to the front:
After hearing her words, everyone looked down the mountain. When they saw that the zombie boar did not catch up, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn’t catch up, which is great.
Lao Meng and Tian Shiming, who were carrying Xie Zihao, put Xie Zihao on the ground and sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
It was going uphill, and the two of them were carrying someone, which was very tiring.
Moreover, there were many thorns and leaves on the road, which made their arms red and itchy.
After Zhu Ziming took two breaths, he said to everyone:
"There are at least seven or eight zombie boars we just saw, and there may be more. The black bear carcass will probably be eaten up in a short time. The zombie boars have a very sensitive sense of smell. Maybe those zombie boars are chasing us now.
, we must return to the shelter as soon as possible!"
"Everyone get up!"
When he saw the state of Lao Meng and Tian Shiming, he said to Sun Peng and Wen Qian:
"Sun Peng, Wen Qian, you take Lao Meng's place and take Zihao back to the shelter."
Sun Peng and Wen Qian didn't speak. Talking at this time was a waste of energy.
The two men directly lifted Xie Zihao up and walked down the mountain.
Their current location is not far from their shelter, on the opposite mountain.
As long as you descend this high mountain, cross the valley, and climb two hundred meters up, you can reach the shelter.
"Walk!"
Zhu Ziming carried his crossbow and ran down the mountain.
Everyone follows.
Since everyone was worried that there were zombie boars chasing behind them, they all ran as fast as they could.
They arrived at the shelter at 5:10 in the evening, twenty minutes before dark.
Initially, Zhu Ziming was worried that they might not be able to return to the shelter before dark. Unexpectedly, they were chased by zombie boars and they were able to return early.
Two people were left in the shelter to deal with the carcasses of hunted animals. When they saw Wen Qian and Sun Peng carrying Xie Zihao, their expressions changed greatly.
Fu Yining put down the charcoal fire in his hand and ran over. Seeing Xie Zihao's eyes closed and his face pale, he exclaimed: "What's going on?"
Sun Peng said with an ugly face: "We hunted a black bear weighing several hundred kilograms, but suddenly a leopard ran out and was attacked. Behind us..."
Long Wenjing saw Wang Jing kneeling on the ground and quickly went over to help her up.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Somewhat exhausted."
They had just said a few words when Zhu Ziming shouted:
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up to the shelter and get in!"
He was still worried that the group of zombie wild boars would catch up behind him. After everyone heard Zhu Ziming's words, they got up without any nonsense and walked to the underground shelter.
"Wang Jing, wait a minute." Zhu Ziming stopped Wang Jing.
"I remember there are two bottles of medical alcohol. Give me one."
Wang Jing opened the backpack on her back, took out the bottle of medical alcohol that was used for Xie Zihao, and handed it over.
"No, I want the unopened bottle and the spray."
Wang Jing instantly understood what he was going to do, which was to spray alcohol nearby to prevent the zombie boar's keen sense of smell from finding them.
But...spraying with medical alcohol is too luxurious!
"Quick, we don't have that much time. If it's just zombies, we can still fight them, but we can't beat this zombie boar!"
Upon hearing Zhu Ziming's words, Wang Jing immediately handed over the unused bottle of medical alcohol and spray.
Zhu Ziming unscrewed the cap of the bottle, plugged in the spray tube, looked down the mountain, took the alcohol spray and sprayed it on the road they just walked, and also sprayed it around the shelter.
Sizzling—sizzling—sizzling—
A whole bottle of medical alcohol was sprayed out. This is medical alcohol worth a full 10 points. In just a short while, one bottle was used up.
Even if it was Zhu Ziming, he was also a little heartbroken.
He sprayed very quickly, and it only took two minutes to finish spraying.
After spraying, he walked into the shelter.
Their shelter halfway up the mountain is a sunken type. At night, some zombie animals will climb trees, and it is more troublesome to build a shelter on a tree than on the ground.
For this shelter, they first dug a pit nearly two meters deep, and then piled a dozen thick logs on top of the pit. The entire shelter took on the shape of a triangle.
The wood directly pressed against the excavated soil below. The entrance below was dug down more than one meter. The entrance was not large, and one had to drill down to enter.
After laying a layer of thick trees on top, they laid a layer of tarpaulin on top, and then laid several layers of leaf moss. If you just take a quick look from the outside, you can't tell that there is a shelter here. It's private.
Excellent.
And because it is a sunken type, except for the roof, the other parts of the shelter are under the soil, so the defense is relatively strong.
After Zhu Ziming climbed into the shelter, he pushed down a row of wooden piles next to it.
The shelter is completely closed.
The underground was somewhat stuffy, but they dug several bowl-sized holes next to them and inserted telescopic iron pipes into them to serve as ventilation passages.
A light came on, illuminating the dim underground shelter.
"Xie Zihao has a fever and his forehead is very hot." Fu Yining touched Xie Zihao's forehead and said to everyone.
Wang Jing held a lamp in her hand and shined it on Xie Zihao's head.
"I have antipyretic medicine in my backpack. Give him one." Wang Jing said to Fu Yining.
Zhu Ziming withdrew his gaze, held the crossbow tightly, and sat at the exit.
"Brother Zhu, do you think those zombie wild boars will find us?" Wen Qian sat opposite Zhu Ziming and asked with a frightened face.
"have no idea."
"What if the zombie wild boars come over? Can our shelter be able to withstand it?"
"have no idea."
Zhu Ziming really didn't know that generally speaking, after animals or people are infected by the zombie virus, they lose their consciousness and can only retain some of their instincts.
This kind of zombie wild boar likes to dig holes before it is infected, and it still likes to dig holes after turning into a zombie wild boar.
If those zombie wild boars really find this place and dig holes into their shelter, this shelter may not be able to withstand it.
But he had no choice.
Do your best and obey destiny.
Escape to the shelter is already the best option.
They can't be beaten head-on, and they can't climb up a tree in the middle of the night. The zombie monkeys will kill them in minutes.
It was even more impossible to run back to the trading market overnight, it was too late.
After sitting down, Zhu Ziming felt a burning pain in his arm.
I raised my arm and realized that when I was running, I didn't know what kind of sharp leaf cut my arm, and there were two bloody marks.
Looking at the two faint blood stains, he didn't care.
This kind of injury can scar quickly.
However, he was worried that if there was some blood, it would be easily smelled by the zombie boar, so he picked up the dry soil on the ground and wiped two handfuls of it towards the wound.
Inside the shelter, there was silence.
Maybe more than ten minutes have passed, or maybe half an hour has passed.
The night falls, the stars are hidden behind thick clouds, and in the darkness of the primeval forest, the breath of death quietly permeates the air. The trees are intricately intertwined like ghosts, as if they are the claws of endless darkness, extending in all directions.
In this apocalyptic primeval forest, zombie animals have become the most terrifying masters of the night.
Ho ho ho! Ouch!
Their roars cut through the silence, and every vibration of their throats was like the whisper of death, causing endless panic in the hearts of Zhu Ziming and others hiding in the underground shelter.
In this small space, their breathing almost stopped, and time was frozen here, and every second was extremely long. On the walls of the shelter, the mottled lights struggled to emit a dim light, providing them with a faint comfort.
"Turn off the light!" Zhu Ziming looked at the light deep in the shelter and said in a low voice.
He was worried that light would shine through the gaps in the shelter, and he wanted to minimize the possibility of being discovered by zombie animals.
"But..." Wang Jing didn't want to close it. In this atmosphere, if the lights were turned off, everyone would be even more scared.
"Turn it off and take a rest. Wen Qian and I will be on duty first. You can sleep as much as possible if you can. We will return to the trading market at dawn tomorrow."
"Alas..." Wang Jing sighed and silently turned off the light.
Everyone in the shelter was swallowed by darkness, and their hearts seemed to be clenched by a pair of hands.
They didn't know if the zombie boar would find them. In this nervous and uneasy mood, they couldn't sleep.
In the darkness, Zhu Ziming whispered: "You turn on the flashlight and let Sun Peng change with you. You go to sleep for a while."
Wen Qian asked: "What about you?"
"I'm not sleepy, just ask him to come over."
"Okay." Wen Qian didn't say anything more. He turned on the flashlight and covered it with his hand. Only a little light came out. With the weak light, he walked to Sun Peng's side.
"Old Sun, go and help me on duty."
Sun Peng was woken up while half asleep. It took him a few seconds to realize where he was now.
His whole body tensed up instantly, "Okay."
He made a hash, picked up the spear leaning against the wall, tiptoed, and bent down to the entrance.
Sit on the floor.
Swish swish!
Suddenly, there was a sound of trampling leaves all around.
This was followed by a roar.
When Zhu Ziming heard this voice, his eyelids twitched twice. He held his breath, raised the compound crossbow in his hand, and aimed it at the entrance.
Sun Peng, who had just sat down, also raised the spear in his hand. Once the wooden door was knocked open, he immediately thrust the spear through.
No matter what it is, let’s poke it first and then talk about it.
Ouch! Chichi!
There was a strange cry outside.
"What is this?" Sun Peng asked in a low voice.
"Hush, it could be a monkey." Zhu Ziming said with a solemn expression.
There are a lot of monkeys here in the Dabie Mountains. If they are ordinary monkeys, it's okay. They are not a threat.
But if it were a zombie monkey, it would be too scary.
A zombie monkey that jumps down from a tree is not much different from a zombie that climbs a wall.
However, these zombie monkeys rarely appear during the day and usually only come out at night.
Otherwise, they would not dare to go hunting just for these zombie monkeys.
In the apocalypse, if you go hunting in the mountains and catch large animals, you can make a fortune.
But the rewards are directly proportional to the risks. In this primeval forest, there are dangers everywhere.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There was a sharp scream outside, the snapping of leaves and branches, and the sound of branches being trampled.
During this period, they did not dare to go out, not even to open the wooden piles and take a look at what was going on outside.
Everyone is awake, holding weapons in their hands, ready to fight at any time.
But after it lasted for more than half an hour, the sound gradually became quieter.
They looked at each other, wondering what was going on outside.
Another two hours passed, and there was absolutely no movement outside.
After this experience, they couldn't sleep no matter what. The dark night was extremely difficult.
During the long night, they worked hard until dawn.
"What time is it?" Wen Qian, who had not slept all night, asked in a hoarse voice.
Zhu Ziming picked up the flashlight and shined it on the watch on his wrist. It was 7:30.
"At half past seven, it's dawn. Don't move for now. I'll go take a look first." Zhu Ziming explained.
After saying that, he turned the horizontal bolt on the wooden pile and gently pushed the wooden pile door upwards to create a small gap.
The golden light shines through the gaps between the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow.
On the ground, the thick fallen leaves were yellow and fragile.
Tranquility, no singing of birds, no footsteps of animals, only the occasional slight sound of branches breaking, breaking the silence.
The air was filled with the smell of earth and dead leaves, as well as a strong smell of rotten zombies.
He pushed the wooden door and the gap slowly widened. There were no zombies or zombie animals in sight.
But he still didn't dare to let down his guard. He carefully observed for a while and waited for about ten minutes. After confirming that there was no problem, he walked out.
Sun Peng opened the door so that Zhu Ziming could return at any time.
After Zhu Ziming came out, he immediately looked behind him.
I saw some civet fur and bones remaining behind and to the right, under a tree twenty meters away.
Zhu Ziming squatted down, looked at the fur hanging on the tree, and frowned.
"What's going on? A civet and a monkey are fighting?"
Civet cats and monkeys basically feed on fruits. If they are doing it now, it means that one of them must be infected.
"Brother Zhu, what's going on?" Sun Peng came out and asked.
Zhu Ziming shook his head and said: "It's okay, let everyone pack their things and go back to the trading market."
