The edge of Rao City.

Xu Chengcai and his son, who had left Hangzhou, arrived here after traveling for several days.

As the weather warmed up, their days became much easier.

In the forest, under the rotting trees, I found mushrooms, edible wild vegetables that had just sprouted, and some earthworms.

They even found some kudzu.

These support their bodies and maintain their physical fitness.

They do not take the national roads before the end of the world, because in such places, it is easy to encounter robbers.

Although Xu Chengcai's leg wound has improved a lot in the past two days, Xu Chengcai did not dare to take risks considering that he was taking his son with him.

On the contrary, when traveling through mountain forests and dirt roads, you encounter fewer humans and fewer zombies.

It's just that the road is bumpy and not easy to walk.

At the foot of Sanqing Mountain.

Xu Chengcai whispered to Xiaoyong next to him: "Wait for me here, don't leave, I'll come back as soon as I go."

Xiaoyong quickly grabbed his father's arm, not wanting him to leave.

Xu Chengcai touched his son's head, handed him a dagger, and said warmly: "If someone or a zombie comes over, stab him with the dagger!"

Xiaoyong was a little scared, but he pursed his lips, his thin lips filled with determination.

After all, he is just a child under ten years old.

Xu Chengcai looked at him, patted his shoulder again, and slowly left the wooden house.

He had just seen a bird's nest outside the wooden house, and he wanted to climb up and have a look.

After walking out of the wooden house, Xiaoyong quickly walked to the window of the wooden house and looked at his father outside the wooden house.

Xu Chengcai looked intently at the bird's nest on a big tree ten meters away.

Walked over.

This big tree is still alive and is more than twenty meters high.

The bird's nest is at a height of about eighteen meters.

Xu Chengcai saw with his own eyes two birds flying into the nest from outside just now.

Maybe there were bird eggs inside. Xu Chengcai licked his lips and inserted another dagger into the strap on his back.

"Hey!" Xu Chengcai hugged the big tree with both hands, then spread his legs to clamp the tree.

Use your hands to push upwards, and use your legs to climb up.

He frowned slightly as he exerted force on his legs. The big tree hit his wound, but he ignored it and continued to climb up.

The speed was not slow. In ten seconds, he had climbed almost seven or eight meters.

He didn't look down. At a height of seven or eight meters, some branches were already protruding from the big tree, making it easier for him to crawl.

He couldn't help feeling a little emotional. When he followed the captain and the others on missions in Southeast Asia, they often climbed trees. Thinking back then, only the captain could climb faster than him.

If it weren't for his injured leg, hunger, and severe decline in body functions, he would have climbed to the top by now.

Just sighing, he continued crawling.

Soon, he climbed one meter below the nest.

At this time, two birds flew out from the nest.

Apparently, the two magpies spotted him.

Two magpies flapped their wings, trying to prevent him from approaching the nest.

Xu Chengcai looked a little hesitant when he saw the two magpies, but he only hesitated for a second.

He said a little apologetically: "Sorry, my son is hungry, please be more considerate."

The two magpies seemed to be angered by his words and rushed over instantly, trying to peck him with their sharp beaks.

Xu Chengcai concentrated, used both legs to pull out the dagger from his back very quickly.

A cold light.

One of the magpies had its neck scratched by a dagger and fell limply.

The two magpies were a pair. The other magpie watched Xu Chengcai kill the one and let out a sad cry.

Fly down to the ground and check out the magpie.

Xu Chengcai's sword skills were extremely good, and the magpie was killed with just one blow.

The female magpie that flew to the ground kept pushing and pulling the male magpie with her paws, but the male magpie did not react at all.

The body lay limp on the ground.

The female magpie senses the death of the male magpie.

Wailed again.

Xu Chengcai felt a little emotional when he saw this scene, but he just glanced at it and continued to climb up.

When the female magpie noticed that Xu Chengcai was approaching the nest again, she flapped her wings and flew upwards.

But when I flew into the air and saw the male magpie on the ground, I seemed a little hesitant.

He fluttered twice in mid-air, and when he saw Xu Chengcai reaching out to dig out the bird's nest, he quickly flew towards Xu Chengcai.

Xu Chengcai reached into the bird's nest with one hand and did not catch the eggs, but only a few small fluffy animals.

A young bird's beak stung his palm.

Not painful, but a little itchy.

He was a little happy, four!

But the next second he felt a little sad. Birds are also living creatures. They risk their lives to protect their children.

And why not myself?

At this moment, the female magpie flew up, crowing urgently, and was about to peck Xu Chengcai's eyes.

Swipe!

Xu Chengcai waited for the bird to approach, stretched his legs hard, hugged the tree with one hand, and held a dagger in the other hand, and quickly and accurately inserted it into the belly of the wood magpie.

Xu Chengcai took back the dagger with the magpie stuck in it, and then put the female magpie on the dagger into his bag.

His expression was a little solemn, but he still stuffed the baby birds in the nest into the bag.

After touching the somewhat dry bird's nest, Xu Chengcai simply dismantled the bird's nest.

Throw it on the ground and use it as a fire starter later.

He descended the tree very quickly. In just ten seconds, he slipped down from the tree.

After his feet touched the ground, he looked around again and found nothing unusual.

Looking at the male magpie he killed not far away, he walked over and wanted to pick it up.

At this moment, there was movement from a tree ten meters to the right.

rustle--

Xu Chengcai paused his hand slightly and did not immediately pick up the male magpie. Instead, he slowly looked in that direction with his peripheral vision.

A squirrel!

He slowly stretched his hands behind his back.

The next second, the squirrel moved.

Want to climb a tree.

in an instant.

Xu Chengcai's movements seemed to speed up, and ordinary people couldn't see his movements clearly.

He pulled out the dagger and flew directly in the direction of the squirrel without any hesitation.

All in less than half a second.

Boom——

The dagger was inserted into the squirrel's head with great accuracy, and the handle of the dagger was still shaking violently. This shows how hard Xu Chengcai used it.

The location of the pine tree is on a tree ten meters away on the right, only about 2 meters high from the ground.

Xu Chengcai glanced at the dagger, then lowered his body and picked up the male magpie.

"It's an unexpected surprise." With a smile on his face, Xu Chengcai walked towards the squirrel he had nailed to the tree.

衡——

He pulled out the dagger and the squirrel.

I checked the squirrel's teeth and hair and found nothing wrong.

Then he put the squirrel in his bag.

Today's harvest is great. With these squirrels and these birds, they have food for tonight and tomorrow.

Of course, they have survived in the apocalypse for so long, so it is impossible for them to eat all these things in two days.

In the next few days, at least there will be something to eat.

Xu Chengcai walked to the wooden house and opened the door.

Xiaoyong immediately ran out and hugged his father.

Xu Chengcai rubbed his head and said with a smile, "It's okay."

At night, the two of them burned firewood and roasted the two dead magpies.

Xu Chengcai tied the beak of the little magpie with something, making it unable to make a sound.

The two of them gathered around the fire. Xiaoyong looked at the fluffy little magpies and couldn't help but said: "Dad, can we not eat them?"

Xu Chengcai closed his eyes and said after a while: "I don't want to either, but if we don't eat them, we will starve to death."

An expression of struggle appeared on Xiaoyong's face. He was very kind.

After hearing what his father said, he lowered his head helplessly.

My father is right, if you don't eat them you will starve to death.

Seeing his son with his head down, Xu Chengcai couldn't help but said, "Xiaoyong, we are human beings and cannot eat people, but in order to survive, we can only eat them. Remember, sometimes, we will always be around. Involuntarily, in this world, not everything we think can go according to our ideas, we can only be ourselves within a limited range.”

Xiaoyong seemed to understand but not quite.

They haven't eaten meat for a long time.

soon.

The magpie was roasted.

Smelling the strong smell of barbecue, Xiaoyong swallowed.

Xu Chengcai brought the roasted magpie to Xiaoyong, and Xiaoyong couldn't help but take a bite.

Xu Chengcai said quickly: "Be careful!"

Then seeing Xiaoyong eating in a hurry, he said with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

"It smells so good!" Xiaoyong said, his eyes narrowed and dimples appeared.

Completely forgetting how the poor magpie looked just now.

Xu Chengcai was amused by his appearance and slowly began to eat the magpie in his hand.

At night, they locked the door tightly.

Tomorrow, they will go to Sanqing Mountain to see if there are any materials that can be harvested.

The Sanqing Mountain they were going to was nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, but Xu Chengcai's idea of ​​avoiding the city, walking in the mountains, and climbing up Sanqing Mountain was so correct.

Western Conference.

Where Ganxiong is.

Inside the office.

Gan Hu looked straight at his father and said, "Dad, you said you would let me go as soon as the blizzard stops. Why are you still stopping me now?"

Next to Gan Xiong, Lao Zhuang, who had completely recovered, looked at his nose and heart, but seemed not to hear this.

After seeing Gan Hu, Qian Long, who was standing next to Gan Hu, groaned for a while, and said to his father, "Dad, I think we really need to go and see what's going on with the third brother. Let's go and see." .”

Gan Xiong's chest heaved and he closed his eyes.

Why didn't he want to know the situation of the third son, but since Gan Hu and Wayne went to Yishi last time, and found the cottage, he was a little worried.

I didn't find any forces before, so why are there so many suddenly appearing now?

Moreover, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and he is afraid that his third son might offend someone and something might happen.

Otherwise, there would be no movement at all.

Even if it is a natural disaster, it is impossible to kill everyone.

He concluded that Gao Ru and Xiao Shang must have offended someone, and the entire army was wiped out.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case. After the blizzard, I still haven't come back.

What if Xiaohu passes by now and is also attacked by unknown forces over there.

That was another heavy blow to the Western Conference.

On one side is family affection, on the other side is the consideration of practical interests.

There are so many people in the Western Conference who have to open their mouths to eat every day, and now there are very few bullets.

There are so many hidden dangers in the base that they can no longer make any more enemies.

At this moment, he heard his two sons admonishing him.

Why doesn't he want to bring his youngest son back!

"Dad!" Gan Hu called out eagerly.

"Go, go! Bring your firearms, bullets, and a quarter of them. Go early and come back early!" Gan Xiong was finally defeated by family affection.

The most important thing is that if he doesn't let Gan Hu go, his two sons may have a gap with him. Maybe the father and son will become enemies, which is not conducive to the stability of the Western Alliance.

After hearing his father's promise to him, Gan Hu quickly stood up, bowed to Gan Xiong, and walked out of the room. It seemed that he was about to leave now.

Gan Xiong looked helplessly at his second son who ran out eagerly.

He let out a long sigh.

Gan Hu moved quickly. In less than ten minutes, he called six or seven cars with more than 30 people and drove towards Chengzizhoutou.

Bullets, food, sleeping bags and other things are all ready and we set off directly.

In fact, Gan Hu started preparing to leave the Western Union for Orange Island as early as the end of the Blizzard.

Vehicles roar.

Headed towards the head of Chengzizhou at a very fast speed.

The road surface was dry and cracked by the high temperature and it was not easy to walk. Gan Hu was very uncomfortable being bumped in the car, but he was very excited because he would be able to see his third brother soon.

He liked to play with his third brother since he was a child, and the third brother could play with him.

The two of them do some exciting and bad things, and the third brother dares to think, so he dares to do it.

Very interesting.

Unlike his eldest brother, he is serious all day long, but he feels that his eldest brother is just prudish.

On the way, he didn't notice that the stream by the river was slowly rising.

A large reservoir not far upstream from them was slowly overflowing.

letter city.

Dazhangshu base is more than ten kilometers away.

In a small town not far away, the terrain of the town is low, surrounded by mountains, a straight national road passes through, and there is a rural road beside it.

This place is also a place where many collaborators are willing to stay. Before the apocalypse, it was relatively rich. After the apocalypse, they found a lot of useful things here, and after cleaning them up again and again, the zombies here were also killed. That's almost it.

In addition, there are mountains and forests all around, which isolates more zombies.

This small town is considered to be a place where there are relatively few zombies, but when a wave of zombies broke out, it is easier to escape.

As soon as the zombies come, they can escape to the mountains and forests.

in the sun.

A group of people are discussing on the main road.

These people are the cooperators who were driven away by Li Yu.

Some of the original collaborators who secretly took the food because of greed wanted to leave here and look for opportunities further away, while some wanted to stay here.

Fifty people, after leaving the Dazhangshu Base together, came here after walking a certain distance together.

"Anyway, I'm right here. If you want to leave, you can leave. People in our group won't leave." Duan Guan said to several other people.

"I'm not going either, it's not like I haven't been to the city next door."

"Then go to a further place. Forget it, if you don't go, let's go." A man shook his head and said without any further persuasion.
