Chapter 968 Wuyi Mountain, Old House in the Mountain
An autumn rain and a cold.
After entering October, with the coming of heavy rain, the temperature dropped quickly.
In particular, the personnel on duty on the fence not only have to face the cold rain, but also have to be vigilant to watch the zombies below to avoid the zombie outbreak from stacking too high.
This is a huge challenge for them.
So Li Yu readjusted the duty plan and brought in all the people from other cities to be on duty. In this way, each person's duty time was greatly reduced, and on average, he only needed to be on duty for three hours a day.
Undoubtedly, it greatly relieves the pressure of every staff member on duty.
The continuous heavy rain in the dark night has caused many people to accumulate some negative energy, but most of them feel lucky. After all, they can still have a place to stay in such a terrifying natural disaster.
...........
Southern paradise.
Madman has just left Mr. Hu's side. With sufficient diesel, many things can be carried out relatively smoothly.
Braving the rain, we arrived at a relatively large basement. This area was their experimental field.
There are some fill lights installed above the basement, and below are some crops they have recently started planting.
A week has passed and some green seedlings have grown above the soil, which look quite pleasing under the light of the fill light.
The madman pulled up a chair and leaned on it. His body was wet, and raindrops were dripping from the corners of his clothes.
Seeing those green seedlings reminded me of my daughter inexplicably.
I think her favorite thing at the beginning was plants, and she also studied botany in college, but there was an outbreak of zombies...
The madman stopped thinking about it, pressed his hands on the chair, stood up slowly, picked up the crutch next to him, and staggered towards the place where he lived.
Beside the wall, Chen Er and others braved the heavy rain to stop the zombies.
People in the apocalypse will always think of various ways to stop zombies. If they can survive to this day in Southern Paradise, they naturally have their own way of resisting zombies.
They lowered a huge steel cylinder under the wall, which could be raised and lowered freely. Many blades or sharp cones were welded to the cylinder.
This solid cylinder weighs 1.5 tons.
A slideway similar to a railroad is installed on the wall stack, and the lever principle is used. People push a horizontal bar on it. The human thrust is amplified through the lever principle, pushing the cylindrical blade below to move.
People were running on the wall, and the cylindrical blades below were pushed along, and zombies were knocked away by the thick steel cylinders.
Even if there are a lot of zombies, due to the great force of the rapid push and the sharp blade, the stacked zombies can be cut in half.
Although it consumes manpower, the effect so far seems to be pretty good.
But I'm just a little tired.
The wheels kept sliding, almost never stopping, it was a relay race.
Without enough electricity, they could only use this manual method.
However, there are a lot of people in Southern Paradise, 2,000 people, and the manpower is enough to support them in using this method.
.......
Western Fujian Province.
At the foot of Wuyi Mountain.
Four or five people were running through the mountains and forests, carrying packages on their backs and not daring to stop at all.
"Team leader, where else can we go now?" asked a young man from behind.
The leading man was carrying a black bag and was wearing a coat. The coat was covered with zombie flesh and blood, but in the heavy rain, the flesh and blood were constantly being washed away by the rain.
"You can't go to the south, and there are zombies to the west. Let's go to the east mountain first." The leading man said quickly.
After saying that, he ran eastward in the rain.
Among the four or five people, only one flashlight illuminated the road ahead.
The road is slippery on rainy days, let alone in dense mountain forests.
In the dense mountain forests, there are luxuriant plants, and one of the most abundant plants grows among them. The plant is called iron wolfberry, and the locals call it "Luyu".
The fern is a fern that grows in the mountains in the south, especially on some slopes with sandy soil. It is a plant that tolerates poor soil and is not sensitive to drought.
These iron wolf pods are more than one meter tall and can submerge half a person.
It was very difficult for them to walk among them, and their faces were scratched by leaves from time to time.
They walked in the mountain rain for who knows how long.
Maybe a few hours, maybe a dozen hours.
It was getting dark all the time, and they kept walking towards the east.
After climbing over a mountain, I finally found a small house.
This small house is very simple, with an area of less than ten square meters.
But they were already exhausted at this time, so it would be great to find a place like this.
The man took a quick look inside with his flashlight, but there were no zombies.
The walls on both sides are covered with some wooden shelves, and on both sides of the shelves are some plastic barrels, but they are sealed, and I don't know what is inside.
"Come in quickly." After the leader walked in, he said to the people behind him.
The three people behind him ran in.
After they came in, the leading man quickly closed the door, but the door was in disrepair. As soon as he closed it, he fell to the ground with a bang.
The man frowned and said to the people who came in:
"Legs, Ansheng, bring two things over here and put the door on top first."
Boom, boom, boom!
Legs dropped the two backpacks on his shoulders on the ground. These were not only his backpacks, but also the backpacks of the team members who died on the road. There was food in them, so of course he had to take them with him.
Legs turned on his flashlight, then walked to the right and opened the lid of the plastic bucket with his hands.
But he couldn't unscrew it with one hand, so he bit the flashlight in his mouth, held down the plastic bucket with one hand, and twisted it hard with the other.
The lid was tightly sealed, and he finally unscrewed the lid until his veins burst.
A strong smell of pine oil came over me.
Legs excitedly shined a flashlight into the oil barrel. The yellow translucent liquid was exactly pine oil!
This kind of oil is hung from the pine trees and then slowly flows out. To accumulate such a barrel of pine oil, it would take at least dozens of pine trees to flow out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The pine oil that can flow out from each pine tree is very limited. Before the end of the world, there was a profession that specialized in cutting the bark of pine trees and then installing them.
People who work on oil recovery devices are busy in the mountains and forests all day long.
This may be a small house they built for temporary rest.
"Brother Chen, this plastic bucket is filled with pine oil!" Legs shouted excitedly.
He couldn't help but be so excited. The group of them left Da Zhangshu Base to perform a mission, originally thinking of going far away to make a big fortune.
But I never thought that I was fine when I went out, but it rained on the way back and I couldn't go back.
A group of more than 20 people encountered zombies on the road. If they hadn't abandoned their vehicles and fled to the mountains and forests, they would have all been accounted for there.
They also stayed in some towns for two nights, but the zombies in the heavy rain had an extremely sensitive sense of smell. They were discovered, and two more people died. The remaining people took their teammates' packages and killed a few zombies.
Chop up the zombies and smear the flesh and blood on the surface of the clothes.
Using this method of cover, I escaped from the house and ran into the forest again.
But it was not safe to go too close to the road, so they kept running deeper into the forest.
Unfortunately, I thought that after running two kilometers, I felt that the mountain forest here was almost safe. When I stopped to rest, a zombie appeared out of nowhere and bit one of the group members.
So they killed the zombies, picked up the team members' packages, and fled again.
Wuyi Mountain covers thousands of square kilometers. They were deep in the forest and had no idea where they were.
After running continuously for a day and night in the heavy rain, my whole body was soaked by the rain, and my face and neck were covered with scratches from leaves.
"Pine tree oil?" Chen Delong, the leader of this team, felt excited when he heard Legs say this.
Pine oil has many functions. It can be used as a lubricant before the end of the world. It can be used in many chemical products.
It also has a sterilizing effect, and most importantly, it can be burned and is very resistant to burning.
If there are a dozen of these oil drums in this house and they are filled with pine oil, they will distribute them. At least they can dry clothes and keep warm on this cold rainy day.
"First move over and block the door." Chen Delong said to his legs and An Sheng.
Legs held the flashlight in his mouth, then picked up the pine oil barrel, moved it to the door, and held it against the wooden door.
Each barrel of oil is estimated to weigh more than 40 kilograms. Two barrels of oil were pressed against the back of the door, which prevented the door from falling down.
Brother Chen searched the room and found a long pole, then inserted one end into the door frame and the other end against the corner of the wall to form a support.
The rain hit the door, making a crackling sound, but at least the wooden door blocked the rain and did not fall down.
Chen Delong took a flashlight and checked the contents of this small room.
Opening every oil drum inside, he saw that most of the oil drums contained pine oil, with joy on his face, he said to the three people behind him: "Brothers, let's rest here.
"
"Great! I can't walk for a long time. If I keep walking, I feel like I will be exhausted." Hearing this, An Sheng next to him immediately collapsed on the ground.
The leg on the other side also said happily: "Brother Chen, we have gone far enough. There should be no zombies here. We are already so far away from the main road. It would be unreasonable if there are still zombies here."
"Yeah." Brother Chen nodded, and then used his flashlight to shine on a tool bag next to the door.
I took down the tool bag and found some tools for cutting pine trees inside. They looked like sickles and looked very sharp.
They also found a small bed inside, with an ax and a brazier under the small bed.
The ax head was rusty and looked like it hadn't been used for a long time.
Legs took off the wet clothes and hung them on the shelf. He opened the luggage bag and found that everything inside was soaked by the rain.
"Team leader, let's light the pine oil first. I feel that the temperature is less than ten degrees now and I'm freezing to death." Legs' lips were a little purple and he said shivering.
They kept walking in the freezing rain, but at least they were not so cold while exercising.
But now that they stopped, a downright coldness shot from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
Chen Delong nodded and said, "Okay, Sir, let's make a fire. Chopping up the wooden frame and burning it, otherwise it would be too wasteful to just burn the pine oil."
An Sheng nodded, took the ax handed to him by Brother Chen, and demolished the shelf with one blow of the ax.
At the same time, they concentrated the oil drums containing pine oil to the right.
A dozen barrels of pine oil look quite spectacular.
Zhila!
The flames rise.
They threw the wood into the brazier, and the flames lit up the small room.
A faint warmth came over me.
Brother Chen opened the dilapidated small window slightly, and the whole room was very cramped. With four people and more than a dozen barrels of pine oil, it seemed very crowded.
Everyone took off their wet coats, took down some plastic bags hanging on the nails on the west wall, and then hung their clothes up.
A fire was nearby to dry the clothes.
"Hey! Brother Chen, look what I found, smoked black pork." Legs said excitedly when he saw a long black object hanging on the roof.
"Shit, you call this black pork?" An Sheng reached out and picked off the black object.
The whole body is more than thirty centimeters long. While the surface is black, there are some white hairs growing in some places.
An Sheng touched the thing and found it was hard.
He took it and knocked it on the edge of the brazier, making a clanking sound.
"You call this pork? Have you ever seen pork that looks like this?" An Sheng said with a smile.
Legs came over, snatched it away, and examined it carefully.
With a smile on his lips, he said: "You don't understand, I'm from a rural area, this thing looks like this, it looks top quality.
This kind of pork is first marinated with salt, then air-dried, and then hung on the kitchen ceiling.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Firewood is burned in the countryside, and black burning objects fly to the pork. It has been in a state of being smoked. Over the years, the whole meat has become hard.
This piece of pork looks to be at least eight or nine years old."
"Eighty-nine years? Can you still eat it after such a long time?" An Sheng said it was impossible.
Chen Delong, who had stripped down to only a pair of shorts, squatted next to the brazier, warming his hands over the fire, and said with a smile:
"Don't say eight or nine years old, there are some thirty years old. This thing should be pork. I have seen it before. After it is cut open, the meat inside is crystal clear and can be eaten raw."
An Sheng's eyes widened when he heard Team Leader Chen's answer. He didn't believe in his legs, but he believed in the team leader.
The team leader has said so, so it should be fine.
Legs glanced at An Sheng and said with a smile: "When I clean the surface, you will know what it looks like. If you can, don't eat it."
"Why can't I eat it? I took it." An Sheng said.
Zhuo Jun, who had been quietly packing his luggage, said to Chen Delong in a low voice: "Team leader, the food we have now is only enough to last us twenty days."
Chen Delong frowned when he heard this and asked: "Didn't we take six packages from other people? Plus the four of us, how could we only have enough for twenty days?"
Zhuo Jun said: "Team leader, we have been out for half a month, and we have run out of food..."
After Chen Delong heard this, his joy at discovering black pork was diluted a lot.
After pondering for a few seconds, he began to assign tasks to several people.
"Legs, cut this piece of meat into one-tenth, wash it, cut it into slices later, and mix it into the porridge to cook."
"Ansheng, Zhuo Jun, go over here and find some firewood."
The three of them said, "Okay."
After saying that, he walked out with an ax or machete.
Chen Delong looked at the burning wood on the ground and poured a little more pine oil into it again. After adding the pine oil again, the originally small flame suddenly became much larger.
He looked at the fire, inserted the dagger into the oil barrel, dipped it in a little pine oil, and applied it on his neck.
The scratch on my neck was so painful.
Pine oil is less irritating, very mild, but very sticky.
It's sticky and smeared on the neck and face, like a lump of snot sticking to it.
But pine oil exudes a light fragrance, which is not that unpleasant.
He looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and the whole hut seemed like a leaf of duckweed in the ocean.
They were on the top of a mountain, so they didn't have to worry about the danger of being flooded.
The surrounding trees are tall and inaccessible, and very few zombies will appear here.
It would be better to take a rest and wait until the heavy rain comes before returning to the base.
It's just... this time, there were twenty or thirty of them, and they were full of confidence and ran out to do a high-point mission, but they never thought that they would find something.
But there was a heavy rain and everything was gone, including the car.
Forget it, the key is that there are only four of them left in their group...
Thinking of this, Brother Chen clenched his fists and hammered the bed board hard.
When this person is unlucky, his teeth will get clogged even if he drinks cold water.
grass!
There were only twenty days of food left. If they hadn't gotten other people's food, they probably wouldn't have lasted even a week.
It's raining so hard, who knows when it will stop.
If you run out now, you will die. You can't stay in the city, and you can't stay in the country either.
But in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, if there is no such small house, it will be exposed to heavy rain all the time. Sooner or later, it will lose its temperature and freeze to death.
After a long time, Chen Delong's fist slowly relaxed.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. If he was not greedy and returned to the base early, based on the previous style of the Big Zhangshu Base, he would probably have taken his brothers into the Big Zhangshu Base and stayed there safely.
Looking at this leaky little room, I remembered the time I had to hide from natural disasters in the greenhouse of Da Zhangshu Base.
I feel a little ridiculous.
At that time, he also felt that the greenhouse was very narrow and crowded with people.
But compared with now, being inside the Da Zhangshu Base is simply paradise.
Who knows when they are here, a zombie will suddenly come out. After all, zombies are mobile and can smell the smell of human bodies.
In the mountains and forests, we can only say that the probability of zombies appearing is relatively small, but we cannot definitely say that there are none.
Moreover, if it were not for these pine oils, if the rain continued to fall and the temperature dropped, they would probably freeze to death.
"Damn it, why am I bothering like this!" Brother Chen said with a wry smile.
It's nice to be warm and safe in the base.
But now that he was in such an environment, he could only accept it.
Suddenly, he saw several coats lying on the ground.
With a thought in my heart, I picked up my coat, walked to the window, and nailed the clothes up.
Zombies have a very sensitive sense of smell in heavy rain and can smell human body scent.
But they will not react to the same kind.
In doing so, he thought that wearing these clothes with zombie flesh and blood before could avoid zombies, and maybe nailing them to the window would be useful.
