Climbing on the tree, Zhang Ziming was in shock, gasping for air.
He has to be quick, otherwise he would have become a dead soul in the mouth of zombies.
The first wave of zombies directly disrupted his team, causing everyone to flee in all directions.
At this moment, there were more than a dozen people following him up the tree, all of them were Zhang Ziming's most clever brothers. The rest were either dead or still waiting to die, and those who escaped were also waiting to die.
"Boss, these are the monsters that were rumored to eat people!" A young man squatted on a tree branch and said with a tone full of horror.
His words immediately attracted stern looks from everyone.
So many people had died just now. They had figured out some of the characteristics of zombies and knew that making noise would attract zombies.
Everyone finally held it in for a long time before letting the zombies leave one by one. If this young man opened his mouth casually, he might attract zombies.
There was another moment of silence, during which another scream could be heard in the distance.
These voices were probably those of his brothers and relatives, which made Zhang Ziming extremely anxious.
But it's useless to be anxious, because with their strength, they can't fight against the zombies.
Everyone stayed in the book and tree for another half an hour. When there was no sound from the distance, someone couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what should we do next?"
Those who can call Zhang Ziming their eldest brother are all his confidants.
"I don't know how many of these monsters are out there. We can't stay here!" Zhang Ziming said solemnly.
At this moment, he finally understood why the big bosses in the city were encouraging the people to leave the city.
"Brother, tell me, where are we going?" the person who asked just now said.
"Return to Yuanyang!" Zhang Ziming said solemnly.
Zhang Ziming had no idea what was going on with these monsters outside, so he couldn't talk about any countermeasures.
But he understood one thing. Those powerful people must know more. Since they chose to stay in the city, it means that the city is indeed much safer.
"Brother... we are not going to the racecourse?" a young man asked in confusion.
At this moment, a voice came from behind them: "What racecourse? Your racecourse has also been taken over by monsters!"
Everyone was shocked. They had never expected that there was someone behind them. What if it was a monster?
Zhang Ziming broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, he was still careless.
But in fact, this is not shameful, because the group of people behind them are also avoiding zombies, so they are doing their best to darken themselves.
"Are you humans or monsters?" asked a man under Zhang Ziming.
"Nonsense, if it weren't for humans, I would have crawled over and bit you!"
At this moment, Zhang Ziming had regained his clarity and asked: "Brother, you said our racecourse was occupied by monsters. Do you know our racecourse?"
Across the forest, the voice from the opposite side spoke again: "I heard that when you come out of Yuanyang, you are heading north...and I came from the back!"
"Nowadays in Gefu County in the north, wherever there are people living, there are monsters everywhere. Can your horse farm be spared?"
Although it was just the other party's speculation, Zhang Ziming still believed it a lot after hearing the confident tone of the person opposite.
"Dude, it seems like you know a lot about this monster?" Zhang Ziming asked.
At this time, the first thing that came to mind was asking about the zombies. Zhang Ziming was already much smarter than ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, the man opposite sighed: "Alas...the more I know, the more desperate I become!"
"These monsters bite living people when they see them, and those who are bitten to death by them will soon turn into monsters just like them..."
"That's all. As long as you don't go to places with people, it's more dangerous in the wilderness!"
People who are bitten will turn into monsters. Zhang Ziming gained new knowledge, so he immediately asked: "Brother, why is the wild more dangerous?"
After the man opposite was silent for a few moments, he slowly said: "Because in this wild place, there are wolves and bears..."
"These beasts have also turned into monsters. They will pounce on people whenever they see them. However, their noses are more agile and their four legs are faster!"
From the tone of the man opposite, Zhang Ziming could clearly feel the despair, which made his heart anxious.
There was a moment of silence on both sides. In the quiet forest, the chirping of insects and birds could be heard from time to time, as if the world had not changed at all.
Just as Zhang Ziming was thinking about what to do next, he heard the man opposite ask: "Just now I heard you said you wanted to go back to Yuanyang. Is Yuanyang not occupied by monsters now?"
"We just left the city from Yuanyang in the afternoon. It's quite calm inside and there are no monsters charging into it!"
Just after Zhang Ziming finished speaking, the man opposite said in a tone of hatred: "Then why are you going out of the city? You really don't know how lucky you are when you are in the midst of blessings!"
He was cheated by the government, Zhang Ziming roared in his heart, but it was useless to say more at the moment.
"My lord, Zhang Ziming, thank you very much for your advice, I haven't asked for your name yet!"
"My name is Huang Tianyan, and I escaped from Yanping County with a group of brothers!"
After saying this, the two exchanged names and were considered acquaintances.
After encountering zombies on the first day, Huang Tianyan's village was swept to pieces by the zombies that night. He rushed out with the remaining men.
Along the way south, they experienced countless hardships of life and death, and all the adults who survived were transformed from the inside out.
"Brother Huang, what are your plans next?" Zhang Ziming asked.
"Since Yuanyang is safe, how about we go to Yuanyang?" Huang Tianyan said solemnly.
"We have traveled more than thirty miles to Yuanyang. If we encounter monsters along the way..." Zhang Ziming's words revealed his worry.
Unexpectedly, Huang Tianyan smiled and said: "You have to know... no matter which direction you go, it is more dangerous than going to Yuanyang!"
This truth can be understood after a little thought. Now that only Yuanyang City is not occupied by zombies, the surrounding areas of Yuanyang must be relatively safer.
"Okay... let's go to Yuanyang!" Zhang Ziming slapped his thigh.
The scene was quiet again, and it was another half an hour before they came down from the tree.
It was at this moment that they saw each other's faces clearly.
The group of men opposite were all armed with weapons, and they all showed a fierce look. It was obvious that they had seen blood in recent days.
The leader, Huang Tianyan, was tall and tall. He looked older because he had been licking blood with his knife all the time.
"Brother Huang..."
Unexpectedly, before Zhang Ziming finished speaking, Huang Tianyan led the people and left directly.
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here quickly. Those corpses on the ground might turn into man-eating monsters soon!" Huang Tianyan said as he walked.
He knew that if the heads of the corpses on the ground were chopped off, these corpses would not turn into monsters, but he did not dare to waste any more time now.
After hearing this, Zhang Ziming followed up with his men. Together, the two groups of them numbered about forty.
Just as they were taking a small road to Yuanyang and sneaking away, a large number of people had already made the same choice as them.
The outside world is too dangerous. Even if they starve to death in the city, the people don't want to be bitten to death by zombies.
More than 40,000 people left the city today. Some of these people were killed by zombies. Those who survived and fled to Yuanyang City were only five or six thousand people when the sun was about to set.
At this moment, the suspension bridge has been pulled up, all four gates of Yuanyang are closed tightly, and the people can only stand by the moat and stare.
"Sir, please open the door quickly...there is a man-eating monster outside!"
