Everyone looked at each other, and Shigure excitedly spoke first: "Why don't you make a few more horse poles, and if you can't use fish hooks, how about fishing slowly?"
"Our fire brigade does have anchor hooks for salvaging bodies. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any particularly good way."
Yin Jie's answer undoubtedly tells everyone that this kind of work can only be grinding, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to highlight one.
"Actually, there is another way, which is to be a bit whimsical."
"Zhuzi, tell me what you thought of."
"As Shigure reminded me just now, you can use fishing to deal with those in the water, and of course you can also use a net.
Even though we couldn't find such a big net at the moment, another difficulty was that we couldn't drag it up even if we were on the net. "
"Don't worry about the second point. It's easier to salvage if you're trapped in a fixed range. There's no need to drag it up.
The key is how to make a fishing net. Are any of us capable of making this? "
"I know how to do this. We don't need to be too elaborate when it comes to zombie netting. It's very simple."
"You have to count on Sister Zhong for this kind of work. Sister Zhong can arrange what you need and how to do it. Let's do it together."
Everyone found ropes of various thicknesses and began to weave the fishing net under the guidance of Zhong Ting. It was ugly, but it was probably a net.
Considering the need to weave three large nets, the sky was getting dark, so everyone chose to rest after getting familiar with the operation. The zombies on the other side came back to life after being underwater for two hours.
"There's something about this zombie. I wonder how it breathes underwater?"
Lu Bo spoke out the questions on everyone's mind.
Xue Ning said: "Let's tie the rope to the guardrail. Don't kill the zombies yet. Let's soak in the water overnight to see what happens."
Feng Jing agreed: "Then let's do it, everything will be resolved tomorrow!"
···
On June 9th, the weather was overcast. Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, the sun has been shining every day. The survivors in Bincheng have become accustomed to the abnormal weather, and the hard-won cloudy days have made everyone feel more comfortable.
In Jinhu Park, as soon as Feng Jing led a few people through the door, they saw Xu Sheng and four others surrounding the place where the zombies entered the water, and their bodies were dragged ashore again.
"How long have you been here? How is the situation?"
Hearing Feng Jing's voice in the distance, Shi Yu raised his hands and shouted excitedly: "Dead, dead this time!"
He actually died!
Several people came to the body, and Xu Sheng said: "Shiyu has been clamoring to see it early in the morning. It has been almost an hour since he was dragged up. Judging from his condition, he should be dead."
Xue Ning stepped forward and observed it carefully and came to the same conclusion.
"He is indeed dead. The specific time of death is difficult to determine. Considering that the transformation process of zombie corpses slows down, it must be more than six hours."
"12-6>2, which means we still can't determine which is the main reason, the water factor or the night factor?"
"That's right."
"Wang Tao, go get another one! It's 7:30 in the morning and we'll see the results at 2 in the afternoon!"
The zombies brought back by Wang Tao were thrown into the water, and everyone continued to weave the net.
"Brother Feng, although our mesh doesn't need to be too small, it's too much for you to be able to get through a whale."
"Brother Feng, let me tell you why you are so fast and cut corners, Aunt Zhong, don't let him go!"
"And you, what kind of knot are you tying? It's too random. There are big and small, and all kinds of knots. Look at this, look, I just pulled it open and tied it again!"
Wang Tao had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake. Retribution came so quickly.
"Look, Sister Xu and Sister Xue are pretty good at it, they are clever and clever."
"What about me? What about me?"
"Little girl, please study hard with your teacher."
"Oh, the heart is like a double mesh with thousands of knots in it. I am still young and can't compare!"
"No matter how good your Chinese proficiency is, you just use poetry randomly!"
"Oh, Mr. Xu, don't do anything. Don't you know what my Chinese level is? Are you not praising me for being good at Chinese?"
Ouch, it hurts! Why are you blushing when you pinch me? Are you angry from embarrassment? "
"Don't run away, you stinky girl!"
"Aunt Zhong, Teacher Xu is lazy, stop her! Oh, Teacher Xu, Sister Xu, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
···
I kept busy until noon, barely scraping together three large enough nets. I tied the two ends tightly to the railing and slowly sank into the water.
Seeing the fishing net disappear on the water, everyone let out a sigh of relief, especially the men, all of whom had bitter faces.
"Everyone has worked hard, let's eat first, and then let's get started after rest!"
After two days of hard work, it was finally time to harvest, and the food in Feng Jing's mouth tasted particularly sweet.
Two o'clock in the afternoon, by the lake.
The answer is about to be revealed.
As the zombies surfaced, everyone already had the answer.
One minute, two minutes,...nine minutes! The zombie opened its eyes again and struggled to pounce.
"Wow, zombies can really breathe underwater. Why do they die at night? I understand. Is it because they can't photosynthesize at night?"
"Huh? You seem to have really hit the mark this time." Feng Jing turned his eyes to Xue Ning.
"Shigure is most likely right. Zombies like the sun during the day, can breathe underwater, and sleep dormant at night before drowning. The green spots on their bodies and other signs indicate that there is a creature in their body that can perform limited photosynthesis. Effect." At this point, Xue Ning paused, as if thinking, but also hesitating.
"Perhaps it is this creature that provides the daily energy needed by the zombies to maintain strength without eating, and slows down the decay of the corpse after the zombie dies. This creature may not really die."
Shigure: "Sounds awesome!"
"What's even more powerful is yet to come. This kind of creature is very likely to exist in our bodies and is the reason for our evolution!"
"ah!"
Wang Tao glanced at her sideways: "Keep your voice down, that's all!"
"Speak as if you are not afraid. Why were you trembling just now?"
"I was scared by you!"
"Tch! Children are children, don't admit it if you dare!"
"..."
After killing so many zombies, everyone is more or less mentally prepared for Xue Ning's statement, especially the particularity of evolution. This is the best evidence.
It can be a guess, but it is confirmed that the same unknown creature exists in the body as a zombie, and this creature is most likely the cause of turning into a zombie. Anyone will get chills down their spine.
In addition to solar storms, are there other factors that can prompt this creature to control humans and mutate into zombies?
No answer!
"Evolution is very important to us now. Just kill the zombies and forget about the ones that are there! Anyway, the brothers and sisters are all together. If we want to change together, we will form a zombie army to conquer the world if we become zombies!"
"Brother Lu is running wild!"
"Brother Lu is still open-minded. That's right. Let's evolve first. Once you get to this level, you won't be able to hide in your house and not go out, and start it all!"
After eliminating the zombies with an axe, Feng Jing began to arrange the task: "There are still a few buildings on the street. After a while, we will be divided into two groups. One group will clean them from south to north. Wang Tao will be in charge of guarding; the other group will be in charge of the road leading to the lake. Blockades should be placed on the Xinting bridge, the more the better.
After cleaning up, Wang Tao went to lure the monsters. It didn't matter how many monsters he had. The others retreated to the lake pavilion to hide, and then waited for the fish to take the bait.
In addition, if the battle happens on the bridge, Brother Yin and I will intercept with shields in front, and Brother Lu will replace him; Brother Lin and Xiaowan will wait for the opportunity to kill, both using close-quarters weapons, Sister Zhong and Shigure will replace them; Zhuzi, you will be behind. Cover, responsible for handling unexpected situations. Do you have any questions? "
"I have no problem!" Seeing Feng Jing looking at him, Shiyu quickly raised his hand.
"Okay, we will win this battle! I hope you can all evolve successfully!"
The battle for the farmer’s market has officially begun!
Feng Jing walked ahead with a shield, blocking the zombies while letting Shi Yu and Lin Qiu step forward to take action, with Yin Jie covering them.
Since this is just a temporary basis, it is more important to first build up the confidence of the two of them in close combat.
Wang Tao, who was in charge of guarding, stared at the zombies around him intently, occasionally looking back, but did not taunt him when he saw Shigure's clumsy look.
After discovering this, Shigure felt nervous and felt grateful. He must be nicer to this little brother in the future.
The outpost battle was carried out very quickly. As they pushed forward, Lin Qiu and Shi Yu dared to get up close and attack the zombies alone. After Wang Tao sent an early warning signal, the four of them immediately retreated.
Returning to the Huxin Pavilion and seeing the dense blockade on the bridge, Feng Jing gave a thumbs up and told everyone to take cover.
After a while, Wang Tao led hundreds of zombies into the park and ran across the covered bridge to the gap on the west side. Feng Jing shouted loudly, and dozens of zombies were attracted by the sound. "Plop! Plop!" and fell into the water.
The zombies that entered the water first disappeared without a trace. The zombies that entered the water later were still struggling, barely flopping in the water for a distance, leaving a few bubbles, and then disappeared.
Wang Tao ran around in a circle, burying some zombies in every gap. When he reached the covered bridge, there were only a dozen zombies left behind him. Several people swarmed up and quickly divided them up.
"Brother Feng, these are basically from the intersection. I haven't entered the market yet."
"Pay attention to safety. It doesn't matter if the number is small. Also, if you circle around for a while, some slow-moving animals may fall behind. They won't enter the park until you finish a circle, so be careful to avoid them!"
"I know, I'll go too!"
Everyone seized the time to drag the bodies away from the bridge and continue to hide.
A few moments.
Everyone in the pavilion felt the vibration under their feet, and ripples on the lake pushed into the distance. Immediately afterwards, noisy footsteps came, and Wang Tao's figure appeared, followed by dense zombies.
Everyone in the pavilion held their breath and watched as Wang Tao ran to the gap on the west side. Zombies continued to enter the park in an endless stream.
Arriving at the south side and still advancing, everyone's psychological pressure began to increase. Finally, before Wang Tao reached the gap on the east side, the flow of corpses at the entrance decreased significantly.
"Now, come on!"
Feng Jing and Yin Jie rushed out first, crossed the blockade, and approached the bridge. They started making noise from behind to attract the attention of the zombies, and the lake instantly boiled.
A large number of zombies entered the water together, and swam desperately towards the center while stepping on the bodies in front. Everyone was sweating when they saw it. Several substitutes climbed over the guardrail and stood at the water's edge, ready to repel the zombies wading in at any time.
Feng Jing and the others did not care about killing people, and worked hard to chop through the blockade. Fortunately, Lin Qiu and Shigure on the side performed well. Their movements were a little clumsy, but they were very determined when they fired their swords, and the number of critical hits increased sharply.
"retreat!"
Feng Jing, who had gone through many battles and was very experienced, immediately sensed that the pressure was reaching a critical point and directed several people to retreat.
"Stop fighting, retreat!"
I don't know whether it was because they were excited to kill or because the park was too noisy. Neither Shi Yu nor Lin Qiu retreated immediately. Yin Jie on the side saw this and could only stay and hold on. Feng Jing raised his voice and gave the order a second time.
Fortunately, this time the two of them reacted, stepped back, and gave Yin Jie a wink. They let go at the same time in a tacit understanding, and leaned over the next blockade.
The people guarding the lake on the other side found that the zombies had been tossing in the water for a long time and were still some distance away from the shore. They left Xue Ning to guard the place while the others returned to the pavilion.
Looking around, the battle on the bridge was still fierce, but Wang Tao was nowhere to be seen in the park.
Continuing to make noise in the pavilion to divert the zombies away, Xu Sheng also shot arrows from the side to reduce the pressure on the bridge. At this time, he did not care about the zombie corpses that fell into the water.
The lake swallowed up most of the zombies, and the pressure on the bridge gradually eased. Feng Jing directed a few people who had not evolved to move forward to accumulate experience in close combat.
Yin Jie showed off his power just now, cutting the zombie into two pieces from head to toe with one axe, and wiping out the bridge with a few axes, once again showing everyone the power of evolution.
After that, he deliberately slowed down his offensive pace and left more killing opportunities to others.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Wan felt her body light up, and her hand movements became more and more fierce. Xue Ning explained the weaknesses of the human body more clearly. Zombies would fall to the ground with two cuts, and she seemed to be able to avoid zombie attacks with ease.
The successive evolutions stimulated Shigure, who changed his usual coy demeanor and closed his lips tightly, widening his eyes to capture every opportunity to take action. This also caused Xu Sheng to take action more and more frequently.
When the battle was over, Xu Sheng looked at the two empty quivers beside him and shook his head with a wry smile.
