Chapter 1677 I am the Night Devil of Funiushan!

Trading market, task hall.

Xu Feng and Liu Rui, who came here early in the morning, stayed here for the whole morning.

After a whole morning here, they had a deeper understanding of the task hall.

"Brother Feng, now it seems that we only have a few ways to earn points. Either go out to collect supplies, or go for transportation, or participate in construction on the construction site."

Li Da hurriedly said: "No, we can't do transportation. We don't even have a car."

Liu Rui's eyes were worried, "But... We can't find the supplies needed here for a while."

They just entered the trading market when they were penniless.

Unlike other teams, at least they still have some points on hand, which can purchase weapons and food, and go out to search for the supplies needed in the trading market.

Xu Feng leaned against the wall and stared at the task window.

"If it doesn't work, go to the shops in the commercial district to see if they are still recruiting workers."

Ding Dong——

At this time, the latest task was updated on the big screen in the task hall of the trading market.

[☆ Construction site recruitment: 3,000 construction workers.

Requirements: Age between 15 and 65, regardless of gender, strong.

Benefits: Meals included, 0.5 to 0.7 points per day. 】

Swish!

Xu Feng saw it and rushed over quickly, shouting as he ran:

"Hurry up! Come and sign up!"

Liu Rui and Li Da hurried to catch up.

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity actually came up.

With this opportunity, they can take root and survive in the trading market!

In the morning, there were very few workers on the construction site, and because of the appearance of zombies climbing the wall during the day, about a hundred people withdrew.

So to make up for these workers, and Uncle San ordered to speed up the construction of the buffer city wall, more people were recruited.

Recruiting 3,000 people, this is just the first batch.

Later, 1,000 quotas will be issued every day for 7 days.

A total of 10,000 people will be recruited.

The recruitment was divided into 8 days to give more survivors a chance. Some people ran out to do tasks and were not seen at the trading market.

In addition, there are more survivors joining the trading market in recent days, and the number increases almost every day.

Spreading the recruitment over several days is also to give these newcomers a chance.

It was noon at this time, but there was no sun.

Looking up at the sky, there was only a gloomy sky.

The dark clouds were so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

When the trading market launched an emergency plan to resist the wall-climbing zombies,

many survivors scattered in other places also faced the challenge of wall-climbing zombies.

Henan Province, Luo City.

In the forests of Funiu Mountain in the south.

There is a natural cave with a hole about half the size of a person at the top of the center of the cave.

Two rebars were welded horizontally and vertically on this hole to form a cross shape.

The rebar was firmly welded to the cave wall, as if it was naturally integrated with the rock.

It was noon.

A faint light shone from the top into the cave.

The light was dim, and the cave was barely visible with the help of this beam of light, but the farther away from this beam of light, the less clear it was.

The area of the cave was dozens of square meters, and the area became larger as you went deeper from the cave entrance.

It was narrow outside and wide inside.

From the cave entrance to the deepest part of the cave, there was a distance of about 10 meters.

The cave entrance.

There were three people standing.

"Da, brother, be careful when you go down the mountain." A teenager said to the two people in front of him.

The other two people each held two white plastic buckets, with a shoulder pole and rope on their shoulders.

One was older, about fifty years old, and the other was in his early twenties.

The middle-aged man nodded and said to the boy:

"Well, you should collect more firewood. The weather has turned cold recently, so you need to make more charcoal."

The boy smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll use that earthen kiln. I've seen you do it so many times, and I've learned it a long time ago."

"It's up to you." The middle-aged man gave a few more instructions, and then walked down the mountain with his eldest son.

They were originally locals at the foot of Funiu Mountain.

The middle-aged man was named Zhou Dafu.

More than a decade ago, he had served in the army for several years. After retiring, he returned to his hometown for various reasons.

He built a house at the foot of Funiu Mountain and married a wife through a blind date.

He took over a few acres of land from his old father to farm. He usually ran transportation in the village and sent villagers to the town market, earning three or four yuan per person.

So many years passed, and then two children were born. He and his wife raised the two sons. Before the end of the world, one was in high school and the other was in junior high school, both of whom went to school in the town.

After the outbreak of the end of the world, it happened to be Saturday, and the two sons were at home, so they survived.

Because he was in the countryside, and his nearest neighbor was several hundred meters away from him, he rarely encountered zombies.

In addition, he had been a soldier before, and his combat effectiveness was stronger than that of ordinary people, allowing him to protect his wife and children well.

Later, in order to avoid zombies, he brought his family to this cave in the back mountain of Funiu.

He also moved all the useful materials from his home and other families in the village to the mountain.

This cave was where he often came to play in his childhood.

The Funiu Mountain is very large and belongs to the Qinling Mountains. It is distributed in nearly ten counties and covers an area of tens of thousands of hectares.

Zhou Dafu connected two white plastic buckets with a rope and hung them on a pole.

Such a white plastic bucket can hold 20 liters of water. He and his son brought four plastic buckets, which can hold 80 liters.

Use this water sparingly, it will be enough for them for half a month.

The water collection place is 5 kilometers away from the cave on a mountain road, and it takes two hours to reach it.

On the way, Zhou Chen looked around and asked his father:

"Da, why don't we go look elsewhere? Last time we finally met a group of survivors, but you didn't contact them. We don't know what the outside world has become like."

Since moving up the mountain, they have never returned to the village except for searching for supplies.

Especially in the past two years, they have almost never gone down the mountain.

If it hadn't been for the spring in the cave drying up, they wouldn't have gone down the mountain to get water.

In that cave, there is a one-meter-wide spring mouth. They used to rely on this spring water to solve the drinking water problem.

After Zhou Dafu heard his son's question, he turned to his eldest son and said seriously:

"Don't run out out of curiosity. It's definitely not as safe outside as we are in the mountains."

"Why?" Zhou Chen asked doubtfully.

He was only 15 years old when the apocalypse broke out. Even now, he is only 21 years old. He is a high-spirited age, but he is trapped in the mountains, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Zhou Dafu looked at the sky with cloudy eyes.

There was a vicissitude in his tone: "Because under this kind of natural disaster, the more people there are, the more dangerous it is."

"Anyway, it's safest if we don't run out. You are already that old and have seen some things. You also know how your uncle Zhao, our next door neighbor, died."

"Let's go."

After the man finished speaking, he continued walking down the mountain.

The mountain road was steep and they walked with difficulty.

The drought lasted for several months, and large tracts of trees on the mountains died.

Bare branches, fallen leaves on the ground, they stepped on the fallen leaves and made a rustling sound.

A gray finch was standing on the branch.

Zhou Chen said with some regret after seeing it:

"Da, it's a pity that I didn't bring out my bow and arrows, otherwise I could have shot this bird down."

"Stop looking and leave quickly. It's getting dark early now, so we have to go back quickly." Zhou Dafu said without looking back.

The two of them carried the poles and walked down the mountain.

Passing through some extremely rough sections, they had to put down the poles and buckets on their shoulders and climb down.

This rugged road section has a slope of 90 degrees. It is impossible to get down without throwing things down first, carrying things.

Because the mountain is so steep, not many zombies have bothered them in the past few years.

But even so, they still occasionally encounter zombie animals, which poses a threat to their survival.

More than an hour later.

They arrived at a reservoir at the foot of the mountain.

This lake covers a large area and was a relatively large reservoir before the end of the world, named Luhun Reservoir.

Even though it hasn't rained for several months, this reservoir has not dried up.

The lake surface of the reservoir is extremely calm, but danger lurks beneath the calm surface.

The reservoir area is very large, more than 30 square kilometers, with Luhun Town to the south.

Moreover, the river from the west flows into here. When the river flows into here, it will also bring zombies here.

The two walked to the top of a cliff, skillfully removed the hemp rope from the pole, and tied the hemp rope to the hanging ear on the white plastic bucket.

"Da, the water level in this reservoir seems to have become low again. If it continues like this, we may go down to get water." Zhou Chen said while looking at the lake under the cliff.

The cliff is about fifteen meters from the water. When they came here to fetch water, the distance between the cliff and the water was only about ten meters.

This means the water level in the reservoir has dropped by another five metres.

"Let's talk about it then. Come here and tie the rope to that tree." Zhou Dafu tied the rope to the ear of the bucket and threw the other end to his eldest son.

Zhou Chen took the other end of the rope, pulled it back, and tied it to the tree behind.

Zhou Dafu held the white plastic bucket, held the rope tightly, and lowered it little by little.

He didn't dare to throw the plastic bucket directly into the water because the sound would be too loud and would easily disturb the zombies in the reservoir.

Although they were on a cliff, the zombies in the water had to go a long way to get up.

Even if the zombies in the reservoir were alerted, they would have already retreated by the time the zombies in the water reached their location.

However, once the zombies in the water are disturbed, they will inevitably pull their buckets, which will cause great trouble for them to get water.

Therefore, if they can avoid alerting the zombies, they will never ask for trouble to attract their attention.

Under his guidance, the bucket slowly reached the lake.

The weight on the hanging ear increases the weight of the head of the plastic bucket and causes the mouth of the plastic bucket to sink.

Gudu Gudu——

Water continued to enter the plastic bucket, causing small ripples on the originally calm lake surface.

The two people on the cliff held their breath, not daring to take a breath.

Looking at the plastic bucket on the lake, it slowly sank into the lake.

The next second.

Zhou Dafu tightened the rope and pulled up hard.

20 liters of water is not heavy, but at a height of more than ten meters, if your hand slips and falls, it will definitely attract the attention of the zombies in the lake.

Zhou Dafu used both hands to pull up little by little, while Zhou Chen behind him was holding on to the rope behind him.

This way, if his father slips, he can also tighten the rope to remedy the situation, so that the bucket will not fall on the water.

Two minutes later, Zhou Dafu lifted the bucket he had pulled up, put it aside, and then untied the rope on the bucket.

"Give me another bucket." Zhou Dafu said to his son.

"Da, here you go." Zhou Chen handed it over.

They repeated the previous operation, and ten minutes later, they filled the remaining three buckets.

At this point, according to past experience, it was basically half successful.

With the cliff, the zombies in the lake could not come up at all.

Zhou Dafu sighed and said to his son:

"Okay, put the bucket on quickly, and let's go back."

Zhou Chen looked at Luhun Town across the reservoir from afar. It was several kilometers away from them, and it was a little blurry from here.

Before the end of the world, he went to school in Luhun Town.

Luhun Middle School.

He was only fifteen years old at the time, and had a girlfriend at school, a classmate.

On the Friday before the apocalypse, he had made an appointment with Xiaomei to go roller skating at the skating rink in the town on Sunday.

But the apocalypse broke out, disrupting everything and causing his first love to end in vain.

"Xiaochen." Zhou Dafu called again.

Zhou Chen quickly retracted his sight, and suddenly, he saw a zombie swimming on the lake in the distance.

And swam towards them.

"Da! Look what that is!" Zhou Chen quickly pulled his father's arm.

Zhou Dafu looked carefully and saw a wall-climbing zombie on the lake.

He shuddered all over.

Damn!

"No, horror zombies!" Zhou Dafu quickly pressed his son's shoulders, and the two squatted down.

"Horror zombies? Don't horror zombies only appear at night? Now it's daytime!" Zhou Chen's eyes were full of shock, and his body trembled slightly.

The wall-climbing zombies are called differently by different survivors. Some call them wall-climbing zombies, some call them night demons, and some, like Zhou Dafu and others, give them their own names.

They had encountered a terrifying zombie before, which appeared one night after the thunderstorm disaster ended.

That terrifying zombie almost killed their family of four.

If the hole at the top of the cave had not been welded shut with two threaded steel bars, it is estimated that the terrifying zombie would have drilled in from the hole at the top.

Thinking of what happened that night, Zhou Chen's eyes were full of fear.

"Perfume, where is the perfume I asked you to bring?" Zhou Dafu asked quickly.

The terrifying zombies have an extremely sharp sense of smell, and although they have vision, it is relatively poor.

They stayed above the cliff, surrounded by bushes. The terrifying zombie below may not have seen them, but he should have smelled the unique human smell on them.

In addition to the terrifying zombies, other zombies are the same. Although they have vision, their sense of smell and hearing are better.

The terrifying zombies can climb and ignore the cliff.

If they run away immediately with water at this time, the smell is strong, and the terrifying zombies will chase them by smelling the smell, they will definitely be able to catch up with them.

They carried two buckets of water, and the bodies of the horror zombies were extremely flexible, they could climb trees and bounce.

Climbing mountains is very simple.

If you run away, you will definitely be caught up by the horror zombies.

So, the best way is to hide.

The perfume has a strong smell, which is an excellent thing to escape from the pursuit of zombies.

Zhou Chen took out the perfume from the small bag, hissing--

He sprayed it twice, and the air was full of a strong smell of inferior perfume.

Zhou Dafu quickly took the perfume and sprayed it on his son, spraying a lot.

From top to bottom, sprayed all over.

Then sprayed on himself, and finally sprayed on his head twice.

The two people were full of perfume, which made them want to sneeze.

Zhou Dafu pressed his son's shoulder and hid in the bushes without moving.
