Zhang Heng carefully lay down in the grass and looked out, and saw that the farm in the distance was extremely quiet, with no movement at all. There seemed to be no other noise in the entire world except the chirping of insects and birds.
But Zhang Heng still didn't dare to move at all. He was very sure that there were people on the farm, a man and a woman, two old men.
He has encountered traps, no, not him, but he has seen other people encounter traps with his own eyes...
It was a motel on the highway. The group of them had already observed it in advance, and also observed it three times in a row, confirming that there was really no one in the motel. Only two people from the team went there, hoping to stay inside. Make sure there is food, or at least a safe place to rest.
Then... the people hiding outside heard the sound of gunshots, and then the screams of the two people who entered, but the two people never came out again.
The two of them didn't have firearms or anything like that, so the gunshots were obviously not made by them...
Two people who went in to explore died.
They were part of a tour group and came here to travel and play. However, halfway through the trip, they discovered that the entire network and country had issued emergency evacuation notices. No, it should have been issued by all countries in the world.
Because they were a tour group, their return flight tickets had already been decided. Even if they wanted to buy an emergency plane to return home, they were told that all planes were grounded. After urgently contacting the embassy, they were placed in the capital of the country. In an abandoned warehouse outside the parish.
Since this warehouse is an abandoned warehouse, it cannot be very comfortable. Not only is it full of mold smell, but there is no hot water. This makes most of the people in the group very dissatisfied. They directly decided to go back to the hotel in the capital. Only Zhang Heng, his college roommate Mo Lu, travel companions Zhang Yisi, Cao Zhan, Xia Linchuan, and a fat man in his forties named A Sheng were left. I was willing to follow the arrangement and stay in this abandoned warehouse.
Finally, they really couldn't stand it anymore. On the twenty-third day of wandering in the wilderness, the four of them were exhausted and needed enough food, enough vitamins, enough comfortable beds and shelter...
There was no talking that night, and the four of them fell asleep at a little after six o'clock. They all felt that the quality of their sleep was amazingly good.
Nothing could scare people more than this.
"...The old couple still haven't come out yet?" Mo Lu came to Zhang Heng's side and leaned on the ground and asked.
Ten days…
Fifteen days...
Zhang Heng and Mo Lu looked at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes. Zhang Heng whispered: "Have you discovered us?"
To put it bluntly, those who can travel abroad will basically not be short of money to stay in hotels. After contacting the country’s embassy, the embassy staff will never be able to arrange them even if they want to make public opinion more favorable. If you live in an abandoned warehouse and dare to arrange it like this, there must be a reason for such an arrangement.
They are willing to believe in the embassy's arrangements. On the one hand, they are young, and on the other hand, they are very cautious people.
A staggering old man was walking towards the toilet, carrying a sawed axe, and behind him stood an old man with three human heads in his hand...
Only Zhang Heng had always had bad gastrointestinal problems. Although he fell asleep fiercely and urgently, his stomach broke out and he had to run to the toilet outside the room to solve the problem of diarrhea.
What they saw was silence, everyone had disappeared, and everything was intact. It was as if these people had left everything around them, not even driving their car, not even taking anything with them, and just walked in with empty hands. Just like in the wilderness or in the city...
nothing left.
Then……
After a brief exchange, the four of them moved into the farm. The two old men were kind enough to prepare two rooms for them and let them wash up and change clothes. After just a brief rest for the afternoon, the four of them felt as if they were alive again. It was as if they had come over, and by dinner time, the four of them had even more appetites, and they ate up all their portions of food in a hurry.
In this way, they went from the abandoned warehouse to the small town, and then they found that there was no one in the town!
The key is that there are really many rabbits in Tu'ao. Even with their rookie-level methods, they can always catch rabbits every one or two days by setting a few traps. This really saves their lives.
They are actually mentally prepared to see corpses all over the ground, whether they are seeing military massacres, aliens, or even various mutant monsters or zombies from science fiction horror movies. Things, they would not feel so terrifying.
Just when Zhang Heng was dozing off and going to the toilet, he suddenly heard a muffled sound, followed by a very low moan of pain, which made Zhang Heng's groggy head clear for a moment.
Just like that, five days have passed, the food has been exhausted, all network signals have still not been restored, and the outside world is completely silent, with no movement at all. The fires, explosions, missiles, or rioting crowds that everyone imagined... all No, everything is silent.
He forced himself to wash his face and back of his neck with cold water, and then listened carefully again, but he heard nothing. This made him laugh secretly at himself for being stupid. The past twenty days had made his nerves weak.
Five days…
The two of them stared at the pumpkin for a long time, then walked away from where they were, carefully ran to the pumpkin spot and picked it up. Then they ran back to the temporary shelter and took the pumpkin and their What he saw and heard told the other two.
Zhang Heng still stared straight ahead and said, "Yes, they haven't come out yet. That's strange. They usually come out for a walk at this time."
In this situation, Mo Lu, who was more impulsive, suggested going out to explore, at least go to the town to buy some food, but this proposal was immediately rejected by everyone. In this way, they stayed for another whole day, and the next day At that time, without even Mo Lu's suggestion, everyone agreed to explore... People are like iron rice or steel, and everyone of them is hungry.
Fortunately, there is still one Zhang Yisi left in the travel companion. Although the nervous Ah Sheng seems to be in a bad state, he has good cooking skills and can even tell whether some food is poisonous. In addition, Zhang Heng and Mo Lu are both The four of them, young and strong men in their twenties, worked together and finally did not starve to death in the wilderness.
But there was nothing, no corpses, no visible sources of violence, no monsters, etc.
Although this is a small town, the last time they came to buy food and fresh water, they could still confirm that this small town has a population of at least several thousand. Although it is not very prosperous, you can still see pedestrians walking on the road, and there are also restaurants and shops. There are also vehicles.
But only five days have passed, and everything in this town has become quiet, without a single person. The most important thing is that everything in this town is intact, including vehicles, houses, even the streets. This is true for all the shops, but there is no one left, and all the people in this small town have disappeared.
Then...the network was cut off, the mobile phone signal was cut off, and all communication with the outside world was cut off. At the same time, there was a final message from the embassy to remind them. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect at all, and they all huddled in this abandoned warehouse. Deep down, they made up their mind that unless they ran out of food or someone from the embassy came to pick them up, they would not leave even if they were beaten to death.
All of these humans were armed with firearms and were very dangerous. They did not dare to approach easily. Some of them were even doing evil. They saw with their own eyes that on a farm, a group of people were executing, whipping, impaling, and finally killing two men. Peel...
What's more, when they asked the embassy for help, they had already seen many of their own people leaving the city and going to the countryside. Because of this, they chose to stay in the abandoned warehouse. Anyway, they had tents and could buy food. And fresh water, it is winter in this country, and I don’t care about the need to take a bath frequently, so I can stay in this abandoned warehouse.
Then when they got to a motel, they finally encountered humans, but what greeted them were gunshots and bullets. Cao Zhan and Xia Linchuan, the two travel companions, died there, and the remaining four people no longer dared to approach them at will. Without any buildings, I just dare to wander around in the wilderness, eating insects, fish, hares, wild fruits... I can eat whatever I can find, and if I can't find it, I will starve.
The abandoned warehouse is just outside the country's capital. From here to the inland Huangye Wilderness, there are actually many small towns along the way, as well as rest stops on the highway and various motels. But along the way, they But no one was seen, no matter living or dead.
When they stayed in this warehouse for five days, they could still receive information from the outside world at first, and they could also walk to a nearby town not too far away to buy food and the like. But then the network was disconnected. The message they received from the embassy before was that they should never leave the warehouse, don't listen, don't look, don't think about it, and just stay in the warehouse with peace of mind.
The two stayed for a while and were about to go back to the temporary shelter to ask the other two to take over. Just then, they saw the old woman pushing a cart outside the farm fence. She looked around a few times. , he took out a pumpkin from the cart and placed it at the door, and then returned to the farm alone.
Then as he walked from the toilet to the bedroom, he suddenly saw the reflection of the candle flame.
In the past twenty-three days, they had seen too many small towns and even ventured into a large city. Everywhere they saw there was no human habitation, but there were no monsters or dangers. In addition, there were A very small number of humans are hiding in some buildings in the wilderness, such as highway rest stops, motels, and farms.
All of this frightened them, and in the end, they had no choice but to come to this farm for luck, because there was only one old couple on this farm, and they hoped to find shelter in this old couple.
After the four people shared the pumpkin, they didn't hesitate any longer and went to the farm together. Of course, they didn't dare to rush in directly. Instead, they stood outside the farm and shouted HELP. Sure enough, after a while, , two old men walked out of the farm with shotguns. The four of them quickly raised their hands from a distance, and the old man took aim and then put down the shotgun. This was a sign of goodwill.
Mo Lu also whispered: "It's very possible, think about it, we don't have any hidden reconnaissance skills, so we just hide and observe from a distance, and the old couple are both indigenous residents here, so it's not normal for them to find us. "
Everyone was frightened. They hurriedly grabbed some biscuits, bread and mineral water from the roadside. Then they didn't even dare to go back to the warehouse, and headed straight to the wilderness along the highway.
