The team of survivors kept walking and running in the direction they came from. They didn't know how long they had been walking, and the sky gradually darkened.
For safety reasons, several people found a relatively open place to stop.
"We'll camp here tonight!" Lao Xu gave the order.
All the team members had been soaking together, and now they were all exhausted and out of breath.
Wang Qiang simply dropped the package and lay down on the ground, motionless, with only his rising and falling chest breathing out again and again.
Although Hu Xiaodong, Wei Dazhuang and others were not as miserable as Wang Qiang, they were still breathing heavily and their hands and feet were sore.
Lao Xu took out a bottle of mineral water from the package and threw it to Lao Huo: "No one has a drink, take sips many times, don't drink too much at one time."
Huo Yuankai and Hu Xiaodong both came from sports backgrounds, so they naturally understood what Xu meant.
After strenuous exercise, the heart and lungs are burdened heavily. Drinking a lot of water at this time will not only not replenish water, but will aggravate water loss.
At this time, we can see the difference between soldiers and ordinary people. Lao Xu and Huabiao only have uneven breath, but overall they don't feel much discomfort.
Lao Xu investigated around.
Hu Xiaodong asked loudly: "Old Xu, how are you? Have you caught up?"
"No!" Lao Xu shook his head.
Hearing this, everyone involuntarily exhaled.
To be honest, being chased by a bunch of beasts, although not life-threatening, is a really unpleasant feeling.
Most importantly, you must keep a distance from him, otherwise once you are caught up, you will fight to the death.
Since the zombies did not appear in the telescope lens, Lao Xu did not intend to continue urging the team members to set off.
After all, it was already dark, and due to the visibility, the safety factor of traveling at night was low.
Besides, the team members who had worked hard all day really needed to rest and replenish their system.
However, rest is rest, and necessary protective measures are still in place.
Lao Xu's eyes fell on the zombies scattered on the ground. He called Hua Biao: "Let's gather these corpses and form a defensive position."
There is no point in showing off, even if the zombies are not following now, but who can guarantee that these beasts are not in pursuit.
Perhaps relying on corpses to build a position cannot stop the zombies from attacking, but it can at least slow down their advance and at the same time buy the survivors valuable warning time to escape.
The corpses were all ready-made. Along the way, the survivor team members didn't know how many zombies they had killed. Now that they calmed down and looked around, they were shocked!
They really didn't expect that they would be able to kill so many zombies, which was unimaginable in the past.
Of course, this is also due to specific circumstances.
First, the railway line is a straight passage, and zombies have nowhere to hide. Unlike the city, where there are many high-rise buildings, you have no idea when and where a beast will appear and launch a fatal attack on you.
Secondly, the number of zombies is too scattered, giving the survivor team an opportunity to pay attention to kill them.
Thirdly, and the most important point is that the survivor team is responsible for the fate and future of all the brothers and families in the camp. They know that if they cannot bring back the supplies, everyone will be finished.
It is precisely because of these reasons that they can still grit their teeth and persevere in such difficult circumstances.
In the end, God lived up to the expectations of these strong humans, and the survivor team gained what they needed.
First, use the corpses to pile up a circle around the outside.
Then, Lao Xu and Huabiao began to add them one by one.
After the rest of the team members had almost rested, they joined in one after another. In a short time, a three-layer zombie wall made of stacked zombie corpses was completed.
This thing doesn't look high, but it is more than enough to resist the pokes of walkers. It is at least very suitable as a night warning.
After finishing the simple corpse wall, Lao Xu arranged for Hua Biao to be the guard, while the rest gathered inside the corpse wall to take out food and start supplying.
The sky was getting dark, and the survivors at the mountaintop camp were setting up campfires and starting dinner.
Due to the lack of supplies, dinner was very shabby. Everyone only shared some gruel mixed with dead leaves and small pieces of bread.
Although he knew that these things could not reduce the physical exertion of the team members, Lao Xu had no choice. As the saying goes, a good woman cannot make a meal without rice, so he wanted to make the team members full, but what should they do after one meal?
"Hey, I wonder how Lao Xu and the others are doing?" Wenquan Xin raised his head and took a sip of thin water from the bowl.
"It should be camping already." Tang Xiaoqiang had a worried look on his face, obviously worried about the team's trip.
"I hope everything goes well for them, but no forks appear." Wang Zhongyu agreed.
"Lao Xu and the others will bring supplies for half a day this time. If they can't find the supplies, then..." Before he finished speaking, Derek saw the solemn expressions of everyone around him and closed his mouth knowingly.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere on the field, Lao Zhao smiled encouragingly and said: "It's okay. I believe in Lao Xu's ability. They will definitely find the supply place and bring the supplies back smoothly."
Nodding, although he was unsure, at this juncture, Lao Lin knew that he needed to give strength to the team, and immediately affirmed: "Old Zhao is right, Lao Xu and the others will come back safely and bring back the supplies we need."
This meal was quite boring. Firstly, everyone was worried about the team searching for money; secondly, there was really nothing to eat.
After dinner, Lao Zhao called over Lao Lin, and the two of them came to the high point of the back mountain together.
At this time, he went to the place where Lao Zhao would come every night, and he would smoke a cigarette with Lao Xu here.
Now Lao Xu is not here, but the habit has been formed.
He asked Lao Lin for a cigarette. After the two of them lit it, Lao Zhao looked into the distance.
Because it was a private conversation, Lao Zhao had nothing to worry about. He puffed on the cigarette and shook his head: "Seriously, Lao Lin, do you think Lao Xu and the others can get back the supplies this time?"
Lao Lin didn't answer. He smoked silently for a while, and then sighed heavily: "I've seen it. There is a railway line below. According to Lao Xu's wish, I want to collect from passing trains or stops, but they only order so many people. Even if it's really I found it... alas~"
He sighed again, even though he didn't finish his words, everything was left unsaid.
"I'm worried about this too! You know Lao Xu's temper. He's under a lot of pressure due to the current situation in the camp. I'm afraid that he will fight to the death even though he knows it's not okay."
silence! A long silence!
In the night sky, among the mountains and forests, two red dots flickered on and off.
It wasn't until the cigarette butt burned out that Lao Lin patted Lao Xu on the shoulder: "When things have reached this point, it's useless for you and me to worry about it. Now we can only trust Lao Xu and the others. All we can do is keep an eye on the camp for him and pray for them. , waiting for their triumphant return.”
Hearing this, Lao Xu nodded lightly.
Just as Lao Lin said, they can no longer stop Lao Xu's actions now. Instead of worrying in vain, it is better to do something practical.
As a result, the two of them split up and went to inspect the situation at the sentry post at night. (To be continued.)
