The snow on the mountain road has turned into solid ice, and the leather boots can't leave any marks after running over it. The pine trees on both sides of the road are extremely tall. The pine forest is gloomy under the sunset, and there seems to be something lurking deep in the forest.
Bai Zhi went a few meters deep and slowly backed away. After taking a few steps back, a hard object pressed against the back of her head. Bai Zhi stiffened up and slowly raised her hands.
"Hold your head with both hands and turn around slowly." The man's voice was very low.
Bai Zhi held her head and turned around. There were three people behind her, two men and one woman. The girl who pointed the gun at her had a round head with bangs and big eyes. A scarf with a pink strawberry pattern on a white background was draped around her neck. She was wearing an ill-fitting men's jacket and looked very petite. The cute girl's hand holding the gun was still shaking. Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am a human being."
Both men were neither short. The one facing Bai Zhi had medium-long hair draped over his shoulders. He was only wearing a fleece jacket and had half of a pink scarf wrapped around one arm. He was obviously injured. The man's uninjured hand held a long dagger, and he stared at Bai Zhi warily. The other one stood opposite him, with a sniper rifle on his back and a machete in his hand.
"Where are you from?" The man used the tip of the dagger to reflect the last rays of the setting sun, and the light spots on Bai Zhi's face slid from bottom to top across her eyes.
This kind of threat is not powerful at all to Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes and looked at Mengmei. Mengmei was very nervous, but she didn't look scared or intimidated. There is a girl among them, and girls are treated very well, and they should not be bad at all. Bai Zhi thought about it again and again and decided not to take action yet. It's easy to immobilize these three people, and it's also feasible to knock these two men out, but what about this cute girl? It was terrible to leave her alone in the ice and snow with two unconscious companions.
Bai Zhi turned her head and looked at the town at the foot of the mountain. Two wisps of smoke from the town were very conspicuous in the dim dusk. "The town. We are passing by and plan to stay in the town for one night. I will go out for a walk."
"How many of you are there?" The tip of the blade rubbed against Bai Zhi's chin, which was more of a scare than a threat.
Bai Zhi didn't move and said slowly: "My brother and a few of his friends. Next door is a platoon of the People's Liberation Army. They are very nice people and let us spend the night next door to them."
The pine forest is three kilometers away from the town. In the apocalypse, no brother would let an unarmed sister leave a safe place and go three kilometers deep into the dense forest. The man asked displeasedly: "Brother? Why are you here alone?"
"I had a fight with his friend." In fact, they were her friends. All three of them were troubles, and it would be difficult to get rid of them for the rest of their lives. Bai Zhi said tangledly, "I'm lost."
"I always get lost too." The cute girl turned the gun and pointed it downwards, and gave the gun to the man, "Azheng, you are a cute girl, please put the gun away."
Bai Zhi was wearing a black down jacket and leather boots and military trousers, which looked not cute at all. But she is good-looking, her brows are slightly furrowed and she looks like a cute girl, and she has no strength at all.
"Another spoiled girl." Azheng put away the gun and dagger and asked angrily: "Do you have any bandages or band-aids?"
"Yes." Bai Zhi took off her backpack from her back, first pulled out a pack of unopened jackets and handed them to the cute girl, "We are about the same height, you should be able to wear them."
"Thank you, my name is Zhou Xiaojin." The cute girl took the bag and opened it in surprise.
Azheng glared at Zhou Xiaojin without concealing it. It's unclear whether we are the enemy or not, but these two cute girls actually started to make friends.
"My name is Bai Zhi." Bai Zhi took out the small bottles of alcohol, bandages and hemostatic gauze packed in bags from her backpack, and continued to hand them to the cute girl. This guy was injured and still gave his coat to a cute girl. He is obviously interested in her. You have to be sensible.
Being ignored, Ah Zheng took the bag and called his good friend who had his back turned to him, "Brother Jiang, help me apply the medicine."
Brother Jiang turned around, and a face exactly like Zhang Tianlie's ran into Bai Zhi's eyes. Bai Zhi trembled and stared at Brother Jiang nervously, cold sweat dripping down her back. Although this man had the exact same face as Zhang Tianlie, even his manner and temperament were similar, but he didn't wear glasses, and he didn't have that perverted sense of oppression.
Since the woman named Shen would bring out her sisters, it was normal for her to bring out some of Zhang Tianlie's brothers. But brothers are not that similar. He and Zhang Tianlie are more like twins.
We have to get out as soon as possible, discuss it with Third Brother first and then decide whether to talk to Zhang Tianzhao. Bai Zhi seemed to be looking at the person in a daze, but in fact, her mind was spinning very fast. She was planning how to escape and thinking about how to have a private conversation with her third brother.
The cute girl changed her coat and carried Azheng's coat over to talk to Bai Zhi. She found that Bai Zhi was looking at Brother Jiang intently. She leaned into her ear and said, "Isn't Jiang Lingyi handsome?"
Bai Zhi nodded and wrote down the name.
"Xiao Jin, it's no big deal that you drool over Brother Jiang every day, and now you want to drag others into being crazy with you. That's enough for you." Ah Zheng raised his arm and asked Jiang Ling to bandage it and hit the cute girl.
"He's just more handsome than you, so I'm happy to look at him." Zhou Xiaojin rolled his eyes at Azheng.
Well, this is a pair of happy enemies. Bai Zhi smiled and squatted down to pick up the backpack on the ground. Jiang Ling turned his head and saw Bai Zhi smiling, and nodded with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Jiang actually smiled at her." Zhou Xiaojin jumped up and patted Ah Zheng's arm, "He smiled."
Ah Zheng looked back at Jiang Lingyi, whose smile was solidified, "You really laughed. Brother Jiang, aren't you?"
"I think I've seen her somewhere." Jiang Lingyi's eyes were fixed on Bai Zhi's face, "Where is Miss Bai from?"
"It's from Hucheng." Bai Zhi pulled the zipper of her backpack, but it couldn't be zipped.
"The direction is reversed." Jiang Ling let go of the half-wrapped bandage, squatted down, took the backpack and zipped it up, and stood up with Bai Zhi at the same time, "Where have we met?"
"Probably not." Bai Zhi put her backpack back in her arms and stepped back as she said, "It's getting dark, I should go back." After saying this, she turned around quickly.
Jiang Ling rushed up and grabbed her, "Miss Bai, the direction is reversed again, the town is on my side." He turned Bai Zhi to the right direction and said, "I will send you outside the town, you can find a place to live. Place?"
"Is this a ruthless Jiang Lingyi? Has he ever been so affectionate to anyone?" Zhou Xiaojin hugged Azheng's arm tightly, "Is there something wrong with the way I woke up and opened my eyes today?"
"It seems like these two have a chemical reaction." Ah Zheng ignored the drooping bandage and watched the show with great interest, "Miss Bai was as nervous as a deer meeting a hunter."
As soon as Jiang Ling let go of Bai Zhi's hand, he said, "Azheng, don't talk nonsense. Miss Bai, ignore them. This pair will just act mean and funny if they have nothing to do. Does Miss Bai know someone who looks like me?" "
Bai Zhi smiled reluctantly, but she still nodded, "A friend of mine's brother, you are so similar, it scared me."
"From Ningcheng? I once went to Ningcheng on a business trip and went to Hunan Road to eat. After walking for more than a hundred meters, three girls recognized the wrong person and threw themselves into their arms." Jiang Lingyi looked at Bai Zhi with interest, "Someone like you Your reaction is this is the first time we meet, is he really the brother of a friend?"
Xiao Qi obviously said she had no taste, so why did the same kind of attraction start again? Gotta nip it in the beginning. Jiang Lingyi and Zhang Tianlie are completely different, and they don't look like bad guys. Bai Zhi asked herself that she couldn't kill him. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and said, "My boyfriend's brother."
"Someone is coming!" Jiang Ling stretched out his hand to Bai Zhi, "Maybe he is our enemy, please hide for now."
"I can follow you." Facing Jiang Ling's insistent hand, Bai Zhi shook her head firmly.
"Okay, follow." Jiang Ling turned around and led the way. Ah Zheng pulled Zhou Xiaojin to follow him. Bai Zhi squatted down again and quickly picked up the packaging bags on the ground. When Jiang Ling turned around and saw it, he smiled appreciatively and said, "That's a good habit."
Their hiding place was a shack behind some big trees. As soon as Jiang Ling climbed up the big tree, Zhou Xiaojin shrank into the innermost part of the shack and waved to Bai Zhi, signaling her to come in. This shack can only accommodate three people at most, and Azheng, who has a gun, must be outside. Bai Zhi couldn't stay close to Azheng, so she shook her head, and climbed up the tree with great lightness skills against the trunk of a big tree. , standing on a large branch parallel to Jiangling, summoning the thunder blade.
Jiang Lingyi looked at Bai Zhi in surprise. Bai Zhi didn't look at him. She clenched her scimitar in her hand and squatted down, looking down at the bend of the mountain road in the forest. A person turned around along the mountain road. It was the unarmed Haifengqiu. He walked straight towards the direction of Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi put away the thunder blade and said, "Don't be nervous, you are here to find me." Then she jumped down.
When she was about to land, she jumped and slid on the ice towards Haifengqiu. Hai Fengqiu stretched out his hand to help her, looked up and said, "I thought you were tied up again. Who is up there?"
"The kindhearted person who wanted to take me back to town when I got lost." Bai Zhi waved to the top and said, "Thank you, goodbye."
"Goodbye, there are six people at three o'clock." Haifengqiu sighed, "There are no living or dead people in the town, but there are quite a few people outside the town. If we don't go back now, we can only eat compressed biscuits for dinner."
Six people formed a circle and rushed towards you. Brother Heitan, please think about how to save your life first. I actually worry about eating compressed biscuits at night! Jiang Lingyi in the tree and Azheng in the shack were both silent.
Six men with weapons pointed their guns at Hai Fengqiu and Bai Zhi, and walked carelessly through several bushes of thatch that were half as tall as a person. The person on the far left raised his goggles and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"The companion who was passing by got separated. I just found her and went back to town right away." Haifengqiu said. It is normal to speak with weapons first when meeting in the last days. Dealing with these people is not a problem. He has no intention of meddling in other people's business.
"Where are you going?" the man asked.
"Go back to Shanghai." Hai Fengqiu stretched out his arms to protect Bai Zhi, "Stay in the town for one night and then leave."
"Stay one night and come back tomorrow morning?" The man's muzzle moved toward Bai Zhi, "Girl, hold your head in your hands and come over here. Don't act rashly, and don't try to escape."
This is the boss. Bai Zhi thundered and fixed him immediately. Hai Fengqiu pounced on the stunned ones and knocked them unconscious. After knocking the third one, he added another three, while Bai Zhi jumped up and knocked one out.
As soon as Jiang Ling came down from the tree, six people were already sleeping in a mess on the snow.
Haifengqiu put the gun into his backpack, took out the dagger, searched each of them one by one, and cut the throat of each one. Finally, it was the turn of the one doing the head job. Haifengqiu searched him and removed his joints, then stepped on his face with the sole of his boot, crushing him hard.
If Hai Fengqiu wanted to kill someone, there would be no need to go to the trouble of knocking the person unconscious first. Unless he found something bad when he searched him. There's something wrong with these people. Bai Zhi breathed lightly out of habit, but she couldn't smell anything except the smell of blood.
You don’t have to worry about losing your keen sense of smell, but you also lose a lot of convenience. Quite inconvenient, but worth it. Bai Zhi sighed softly.
Jiang Lingyi's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a collision was inevitable. Bai Zhi introduced them softly and said: "This is Haifengqiu, this is Jianglingyi..."
Hai Fengqiu turned around and saw Jiang Lingyi, who had a striking resemblance to Zhang Tianlie, and his pupils shrank suddenly. He ignored the moans on the soles of his feet and said, "Nice to meet you."
"Hello." Jiang Lingyi nodded to him, "This man is our enemy's peripheral guard captain. He is responsible for all kinds of murders and arson."
"Captain? What did you plan to do to us just now?" Hai Fengqiu increased his strength.
"Please come to the camp as a guest." The captain struggled under the soles of Haifengqiu's boots. "The town is not safe. We have no ill intentions."
"How many of you are there?" Haifengqiu raised his feet and squatted down to pull the captain's face. One side of his face was marked by footprints, and the other side was blue and purple after being touched on the cold ice.
"Dozens." The captain stuttered with Shanghai Fengqiu's emotionless eyes, "More than one hundred and twenty."
"Thank you." Hai Fengqiu plunged the dagger into his throat and cut his trachea.
"Go back first." Hai Fengqiu stood up and said. After a few seconds, he added, "Let's discuss what to do. What do you think?"
"Yeah." Bai Zhi nodded.
"Jiang... Lingyi? Your companion is injured, right? Why don't you come with us to the town to rest." Haifengqiu invited the man who looked exactly like Zhang Tianlie. Bai Zhi drew her knife when she saw Zhang Tianlie. There is no reason to look so similar to this one. of peaceful coexistence. He planned to take this person back and show it to Zhang Tianzhao.
"Azheng, come out." Jiang Ling turned around and shouted.
Ah Zheng helped Zhou Xiaojin over. When Zhou Xiaojin saw the dead man, his face turned pale and he clung to Azheng, not daring to raise his head or speak. Everyone silently walked a few hundred meters out of the pine forest, and they saw Xiao Qi running all the way this way.
Jiang Lingyi and Ah Zheng subconsciously raised their guns.
"My brother." Bai Zhi's words were brief and powerful. Jiang Ling put down his gun first. Ah Zheng glanced at Haifengqiu, who kept half a meter away from Bai Zhi. Haifengqiu didn't look nervous at all, and he put down his gun.
"Over there! Is there a dead person?" Xiao Qi pointed in the direction of the pine forest.
"Six, they plan to keep your fifth sister overnight. Kill them." Hai Fengqiu put his hands into the pockets of his military trousers and left first without stopping.
"Hi." Xiao Qi greeted the three strangers and put his arms around Bai Zhi. "Fifth sister, you can just walk around the town." He turned to Jiang Ling, who had been looking at him with interest, and smiled. With a smile, "You picked up my fifth sister's? Thank you for sending her back."
"Your fifth sister, does she lose it often?" Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow.
"A bit of a wanderlust." Xiao Qi smiled, "Are you and my fifth sister old friends, or have we just met?"
"We met for the first time twenty minutes ago." Jiang Lingyi smiled.
"But as soon as we met, I felt like we had seen each other before." Azheng laughed, "Zhou Xiaojin, look at Brother Jiang, he is smiling again, this time he is smiling at a man."
Zhou Xiaojin, who had been in a state of nervousness, hummed softly, "That man in front is so scary."
"When he knocked those people unconscious, didn't you cover your heart and look at the strong man's back with red hearts in your eyes?" Ah Zheng snorted, "You're scared before you see their faces, and Ye Gong is not as good as you. "
"Don't be afraid. He actually has a good heart." Xiao Qi greeted Ah Zheng in a friendly manner, "I am the seventh child at home, and my family and friends call me Xiao Qi."
"Azheng." Azheng nodded to him, "This is Zhou Xiaojin, Zhou Xiaojin who is very fond of handsome man Ye Gong."
Xiao Qi smiled knowingly and nodded to him. A cold wind blew from the north. Hai Fengqiu, who was walking in front, turned around and came back and said, "To the north, a mutated animal is coming very quickly. Jiang Lingyi, don't shoot."
"We have meat for dinner!" Xiao Qi's joy was overjoyed compared to Jiang Lingyi and Azheng whose faces turned ugly. Bai Zhi patted her brother gently.
"I'll go first." Haifengqiu strode forward, summoning the thick-backed machete as he ran.
The mutated animal's head had been exposed from the gap in the half-collapsed courtyard wall of a house on the hillside. It looks like a tiger and is only as big as an ordinary cow. It is covered with hard hair like hedgehog spikes. It is covered in blood red and has a pair of fleshy wings folded on its back. After discovering Hai Fengqiu, the mutated animal started barking "woof".
The characteristics all matched, and it was the same as the ferocious beast Qiongqi recorded in historical materials. Bai Zhi felt that her heartbeat had never been so strong, "Xiao Qi, go back to the town and ask Zhang Tianzhao to come. You guys should go downwind, at least two kilometers away."
"Isn't it just a mutated cat with wings?" Xiao Qi tilted her head to look at the big cat head. It was a little ugly, but it wasn't that big, "That's not true."
"The ferocious beast is Qiongqi." Bai Zhi turned around and said to the trio: "Run towards the downwind and avoid the few people who just died. We should be able to delay it for a while."
"Just Zhang Tianzhao?" Xiao Qi interrupted Bai Zhi, "Can you three do it?"
"Try the depth first. If it doesn't work, we have a place to hide. I won't hide if you are here. Go quickly." Bai Zhi looked ahead. The two-story farmhouse on the hillside was like a child's toy, shattered by the impact. It pounces on Haifengqiu with great ferocity.
Xiaoqi glanced at Fifth Sister, turned around and ran towards the town. Zhou Xiaojin screamed but Ah Zheng covered her mouth. Ah Zheng dragged her and whispered: "Don't scream, let's go, don't cause trouble to others. Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang?"
"You go." Jiang Ling threw away the knife in his hand and took off the belt of the gun. "Go to point 3 and wait for two hours. If I don't come back, you can leave."
Bai Zhi threw off her backpack, summoned the thunder blade and ran towards Haifengqiu.
