The six men each carried weapons and charged down the mountain at full speed in groups of three.
During this period, the team encountered two zombie attacks, but the total number was only 7, and they were all easily taken care of by the food search team.
The group of six arrived at the foot of the mountain quite smoothly. To be honest, this result made everyone a little sad.
I didn’t expect that the descent down the mountain, which has always been regarded as a headache by everyone, could be so simple.
I have to say, sometimes being stubborn really kills people.
But after going down the mountain, new problems arose.
Lao Xu held up the telescope and looked left and right. He couldn't see the lens on both sides.
It's no wonder that the railway line must be a straight line without obstacles.
So how to choose the route is a big problem.
On the east and west sides, if there is a car parked, there will definitely be only one side.
If you choose the right one, you can expect to gain a few percent more. If you choose the wrong one, you can basically hope to get supplies from the train.
Lao Xu is not a magician. He doesn't know how to pray to God or flip a coin to guess heads or tails.
As a soldier, he has always relied on only two things, one is the weapon in his hand, the other is the team members around him, and of course his own ability.
So after the investigation was completed, Lao Xu decisively chose the west side as the next search route.
If we had to find out the reason, it would be through Lao Xu Shicai's observation. He found that there were more zombies on this route than on the east side.
According to common sense, when encountering this situation, most people and horses will use the east side with fewer zombies as the route forward.
But Lao Xu did the opposite.
Of course, this is not because Lao Xu is stubborn, he also has his own reasons for doing so.
It is true that more zombies mean danger along the way, but accordingly you have to consider why there are so many zombies.
Isn't it strange to see such wandering zombies on this straight railway line?
There are only two possibilities for their appearance. One is from a nearby stop; the other is that they are trains along the way.
Therefore, if you walk in a direction with a lot of zombies, you will be more likely to encounter the two supply areas mentioned above.
This just confirms the old saying: Wealth can be found through risks, and risks have always been accompanied by benefits.
"Let's go this way! Everyone spread out! Form a formation of two and two, and pay attention to the surroundings!" Old Xu pointed to the west with his big hand, and Lao Xu gave the order simply.
The team members didn't have any doubts when they heard this. After more than half a year of cooperation, some of their bad tempers have been smoothed out.
The queue of 6 people immediately followed Lao Xu's instructions and divided them into three groups.
Starting with Lao Xu and Huo Yuankai.
On the left wing, Wei Dazhuang and Wang Qiang.
Right wing, Hua Biao, Hu Xiaodong.
The entire team moved forward quickly and encountered sporadic zombies along the way. Hu Xiaodong attacked from a distance first. When it was over, Huo Yuankai Tang Dao stepped forward to deal with them.
Relying on the tacit cooperation of several people, they walked very smoothly along the way, leaving no less than a dozen zombie heads along the way.
After driving on foot for more than an hour, Lao Xu looked at the tired faces of everyone and knew that everyone was tired.
It's no wonder that in the past period of time, everyone was still adapting to jungle life. Under the double blow of high-intensity work and lack of rest, everyone was not in good condition.
Although the journey of more than an hour is nothing, killing people along the way does take a lot of toll on the human body.
So no matter how tight the time was, Lao Xu still ordered him to rest for 10 minutes.
Haste makes waste, and Lao Xu didn't want the team members to be exhausted because of the rush.
Because once that happens, if you encounter a zombie attack later and don't have the energy to fight, then the gain will outweigh the loss and you will be in big trouble.
During the rest, Lao Xu searched the zombies nearby to see if he could find anything useful.
After all, for the survivors currently living in the mountains, even a lighter is an important living material.
Unfortunately, after rummaging through it, Lao Xu found nothing but a few useless key chains.
The 10 minutes passed quickly, and when the time was up, everyone was back on the road.
After a short rest, everyone's breath, which had just fluctuated, was obviously restored.
This would have been unimaginable before the end of the world. It seemed like they were marching in a hurry just now. Not to mention taking a 10-minute rest, it would be impossible for someone like Wang Qiang to move within half an hour.
However, the physical fitness of the survivors who have been tempered in the last days has improved to varying degrees.
This can be regarded as one of the great benefits of the end of the world. People who like to stay at home are forced to exercise.
On the road, it is still a group of two and two, moving in a zigzag pattern. This has been proven in actual combat, and it is very efficient in both offense and defense.
After Lao Xu and his party left, everyone in the camp was not idle either.
They had plenty of time now, so instead of sitting in the camp doing nothing, they might as well find some real work to do.
Bi Dahu relies on his own carpentry skills to use scrap wood to create recommended daily necessities.
Nowadays, even the simplest pony is a rare commodity.
At least with these things, the players don't have to sit cross-legged on the ground all day long.
The large army is still carrying out basic construction of the camp. The first focus is to improve the accommodation environment; the second is to strengthen the camp defense.
After a week of recovery, Wu Chao's injury has improved greatly, and he can now bandage the wound and do some simple rehabilitation activities.
This can be regarded as the better news for the camp recently.
Wu Chao's appearance also made the team members feel good.
Human beings are very particular about fate, at least most people are.
This feeling is not obvious in good times, but it is particularly prominent in adverse circumstances.
I believe everyone has encountered this situation. Whether it is studying or life, when things are not going well, they have prayed or prayed for something like this.
Intentions to move God can help change things, which is why various churches and beliefs have emerged.
Wu Chao is now recovering, subtly making the team members feel that things are about to turn around.
This may seem like a small thing, but its impact on people's hearts is huge.
Especially for survivors who are currently facing various difficulties, a high spirit is better than thousands of troops.
On the vast railway line, six figures walked westward alone.
In the blink of an eye, Lao Xu and the other team that went out to search for money had been on the move for more than half an hour, and the previous journey together took nearly 2 hours.
But up to this point, apart from encountering wandering zombies, not to mention the train, not even a passenger's travel bag has been encountered at the stopping point.
It can be imagined that this has a great impact on people's confidence, even Old Xu's psychology began to waver.
Was it the wrong choice at the beginning? Should we go eastbound?
He has also encountered many difficult problems, but now his wrong decision may very well lead to the whole family in the camp having no food to eat and no water to drink.
Should we turn around and go back now? This question began to linger in Lao Xu's mind frequently.
Turning back now means that the previous 2 hours have been wasted, and it takes 4 hours to go back and forth. So today's half day means that nothing can be done.
And how many days does he have to waste now? No!
But if we continue on in a daze, will we definitely gain something? Lao Xu had no way of knowing. (To be continued.)
