After hearing what Luffy said, Tetsuchu thanked him a few times and went to work on the steel mesh blocking the Akebono convoy.
To be honest, this steel mesh can only block lone zombies. For ordinary survivors, the most important function is to have a small bell on the top. Once a creature pulls the steel mesh, the small bell on it will emit a sound.
The sound acted as a little warning.
Lin Qiaoni turned around and made a few gestures. The soldiers on the roof returned to the cab in an orderly manner. Because drivers were specially recruited for this trip, the soldiers did not have the task of driving.
However, even though they entered the cab, every soldier sitting in the co-pilot was wary. This was what Lin Qiaoni expressed in her gesture. After all, in the apocalypse, if you are going to an unfamiliar environment, you still have to be vigilant.
Yes, after all, not far ahead, there are enough evolved sheep that could kill them.
The Shuguang soldiers who have already experienced it all know that once this flock of sheep goes crazy, it will be quite terrifying.
Lin Qiaoni was stunned at this moment and turned to look at Luffy.
"I know what you want to ask?" Luffy whispered, "I suspect there is a zombie with special abilities in this area. It can control people's dreams. I need its energy crystal."
At this time, the two of them heard a "bang" sound and turned to look, but it was Tie Zhong who might have been a little impatient and kicked the entire steel mesh to pieces.
He pulled the scattered steel mesh to the side of the road in a few moments. When he came back, he bent down and made a gesture of invitation.
"Sir, our village is not far from here. Do you want to walk with me?"
Luffy immediately made a gesture of invitation and followed Tetsuya on foot in the direction of the village.
Lin Qiaoni waved to the lane car and the pilot car, and caught up with Luffy. The convoy behind them began to move forward slowly.
"Sir, what's going on outside? Are they all those kind of man-eating monsters? I heard the young people in our village call them zombies!"
"It's the same everywhere!" Lin Qiaoni said.
"Alas!" Tie Zhong sighed, "Old man, I have been herding sheep for decades, raised two children, provided for them to go to college and graduate school, and the two children even said that they would take over the job when their jobs were stable.
I went to a big city to enjoy my happiness. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? You said that I am already at this age, what is the use of becoming a new human being? But my two children, I don’t know, alas, they are probably in danger.
.....”
"New humans?" Lin Qiaoni tilted her head, as if this statement was correct.
"Yes, the young people in our village labeled me as a new human being!" Tie Zhong said and sighed, "So what if the new human beings, I still can't protect the people in the village!"
"I have a question!" Lin Qiaoni turned around and asked, "Why are you so sure that we can save you?"
Tiezhong leaned slightly, turned his head and said, "Old man, I have lived for this age, and I am quite accurate in judging people. You two are not ordinary people. The soldiers behind you have also experienced life and death. The most important thing is that you
I can come here, but I can’t get out of here!”
"What do you mean?" Lin Qiaoni asked again.
Tie Zhong pointed to the north road, "There is a town over there, and there are two to three thousand people in the town. I tried to lead the sheep to clean up the monsters in the town, but I couldn't do it! Do you know? My sheep,
I originally had more than two hundred sheep, but I went to the town and lost nearly half of them every time...
And you, at first glance, are coming from the direction of the county seat, and with your vehicles, it is not difficult to guess that you are troops from the south of the county seat..."
Lin Qiaoni curled her lips and her doubts disappeared.
Even they can walk safely in a world full of zombies because of Luffy. Without Luffy, they would be unable to move even an inch. Even the zombies they encounter on the road are enough for them to drink a pot.
After walking for about two or three kilometers and walking on a beam, they saw a small village with dozens of households on their right.
"Sir, please park the car here! Invite the soldiers into the village. I will slaughter a sheep for you tonight! Let's take it as an advance payment from our village!" Tie Zhong said.
Lin Qiaoni shook her head and said, "No, most of them are ordinary people and cannot eat evolved beast meat!"
The Shuguang experiment proved that ordinary people are not blessed to consume the meat of evolved beasts. To a certain extent, the bodies of evolved beasts also contain a large amount of T virus. As long as ordinary people eat the meat of evolved beasts, they will transform into corpses!
"Please rest assured, I understand that the sheep I am talking about are ordinary sheep that have not evolved!"
"Are there any evolved sheep at this time?" Lin Qiaoni asked in surprise.
"Of course, some ewes that have just given birth or are about to give birth do not follow the sheep into the mountains, but are kept in the village, and there are well-stored hay in the village, so they are still normal sheep...
..."
Lin Qiaoni licked her lips, her taste buds secreting a lot of saliva.
Speaking of evolved beast meat, although it is nutritious and can provide some energy, to be honest, evolved beast meat does not taste that delicious, because as the evolved beast's strength increases, its bones and muscle tissue are damaged.
It has been strengthened to a certain extent and tastes very hard, not as tender and delicious as the lamb meat before the apocalypse.
"So, thank you!" Lin Qiaoni said, turned and left.
After parking the car, everyone in Shuguang lined up.
"Let's go!" Luffy waved his hand and followed Tie Zhong into the village.
The village looked very dilapidated and lifeless, not to mention the imaginary image of smoke rising from rural areas. The snow-covered village looked even more desolate.
"Everybody come out!"
Entering the village, Tie Zhong shouted at the top of his lungs.
Luffy and others stopped asking questions, and suddenly, more than ten people walked out of a courtyard with a sign indicating the village committee.
Among the more than ten people, there were men and women, old and young.
It's just that everyone's face showed a serious look of fatigue, their eyes lacked some sparkle, and everyone had dark circles under their eyes.
This was different from the other survivors they met, who were generally emaciated due to lack of food, but they only lacked energy, but their bodies were still strong.
At this moment, they may have seen the dawn of the uniforms on the soldiers and the guns in their hands, and most people's eyes lit up.
"Old Zhang, kill the fattest lamb in the pen quickly. We want to entertain distinguished guests!" Tie Zhong waved his hand and said, "I have found people from the government. They may be able to solve the problems in our village!"
"I'll do it right away!" A man who was also in his fifties turned around and shouted, "Xiao Tie, Xiao Wang, you come with me to do it!"
"Sister Wang, please take some girls to make fire and boil water..."
Several women turned around and entered a room in the courtyard, which should be the kitchen.
"Come on, sir, let's go in. There is a stove inside. Let's warm up first!"
Luffy made an invitation gesture and followed Tetsuya into the largest room in the courtyard.
The room was large in size. It should have been the meeting room of the village committee before the apocalypse. As soon as you entered the door, a wave of heat hit you, and the two burning stoves made a "whirr~" sound.
Inside the room, there was a long bunk on the floor, with pillows placed on both sides of the bunk. Luffy roughly counted seventeen of them, but there were an unknown number of pillows and quilts thrown under the eaves of the courtyard just now.
.
The rope, which was about ten times thicker than the little finger, was casually thrown on the ground.
The whole room was filled with an indescribable smell.
