Ninety miles west of Yuanyang City, this place belongs to the boundary of Tongchang County, and its name is Hudaling.
Unlike the general water shortage in the northwest, Tongchang County has many rivers, and Longyou County is also known as the "Little Jiangnan on the Fortress".
Therefore, Tongchang County is richer than other prefectures and counties.
The zombie outbreak has brought huge disasters to Tongchang County, but its overall situation is better than that of other counties.
The main reason is that the dense water network in the county greatly limits the zombies' ability to move and prevents the virus from spreading as fast.
However, the disaster caused by zombies still killed more than 70% of the people in Tongchang County, and the remaining people are now trapped in various villages and towns by zombies.
At this moment, at the foot of the ridge on the south side of Huda, a group of people with tired faces were dragging their families and families running towards the ridge.
There are old and young among them, but generally speaking, they are mostly young and strong, with nearly a hundred people in total.
It's hard to imagine that during a month-long zombie outbreak, they could maintain such a large team and survive in the wild.
"Hurry... get up to the mountain, and there will be big trees on it!" Meng Hai shouted loudly.
There is a big tree on the mountain, and the sound of it is like a tonic to everyone's ears, making these already tired people speed up by three points.
During this period, they were able to survive not only because they dared to fight and risk their lives, but more importantly, they relied on trees.
When encountering small groups of zombies, they can rely on their numerical advantage to fight against them, but as long as the number of zombies is slightly larger, climbing up trees is the magic weapon to survive.
In Meng Haidai's team, people continued to join and people continued to die, maintaining a dynamic balance.
They rushed towards the ridge at high speed, and dozens of feet behind them, more than 20 zombies were chasing after them.
And further away, there are other zombies coming, all coming by smell.
Meng Hai was the fastest and was the first to reach the ridge and came to a big tree.
Without any hesitation, Meng Hai climbed up the branch, turned over and climbed up the trunk.
The rest of the people came quickly and climbed up the tree like a wave.
After these days of running away, no matter men, women, old or young, their ability to climb trees has been greatly improved, because the slow ones have died.
Soon everyone climbed up the tree, and almost everyone held a sharpened stick in their hand, which was the weapon they used in the tree.
When everyone climbed up the tree, a few breaths later the zombies rushed under the tree and kept roaring at the people on the tree.
Three, five, ten... Soon, more than forty zombies gathered on the mountain ridge, bringing a strong rotten smell to the scene.
It was this strong rotten smell that gradually suppressed the "human smell" of everyone in the tree, which caused the number of zombies coming from behind to gradually decrease.
A few minutes later, more than seventy zombies gathered on Hudaling, running back and forth in the forest where Meng Hai and others were waiting.
No one in the tree moved, no one made a sound, they just squatted in the tree without moving.
After another ten minutes, when the number of zombies under the tree stopped increasing, Meng Hai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhang Yang? Mashan? Are you still alive?"
Apart from the roars of zombies, there was no other sound at the scene, which made Meng Hai a little anxious.
"Zhang Yang? Mashan? If you're still alive, please reply quickly. We don't have time to delay!"
"You are dead and I am still alive!"
"Brother Meng...what should we do now?"
The sounds coming from two directions made Meng Hai feel stoned.
During this period, if these two good brothers had not supported each other, Meng Hai would have died countless times. Of course, the same is true in reverse.
The three of them are from Chengde County. Although they are brothers in life and death, their births are different.
Meng Hai was a military household stationed in Chengde by the Yuanyang Guards, and served as the general flag in the army. Due to the extremely strict garrison of hundreds of households, the inside and outside of the military camp were almost completely isolated.
When the zombies broke out, Chengde County turned into a dead city, but the military camp outside the city remained.
But there were too many zombies, and although the military camp could block it for a while, it couldn't sustain it for a long time. So in the end, they had to use the right time to break out of the encirclement and escape from the military camp.
Even now, Meng Hai couldn't help but marvel at the decisiveness of the hundreds of families who made the decision to flee.
If they stayed in the military camp for two more days and waited for a large number of zombies to rush out of the city, they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.
It's a pity that this Baihu didn't last ten days while leading the escape, and his neck was bitten off by zombies.
The escape route is dangerous and unpredictable, and people die along the way. There are fewer and fewer brothers in the army, and more and more survivors join along the way.
Zhang Yang and Mashan both joined midway, and each brought a group of people with them.
Zhang Yang was the son of a Chengde county captain, and Ma Shan was a butcher. Both of them were capable people.
So every time they wanted to do something, the three of them would discuss it.
"Wait a little longer and make sure there are no monsters, and then we'll prepare the following dishes!" Meng Hai said in a deep voice.
"good!"
"Can!"
The three of them reached an agreement. Along the way, they also summed up more useful tactics, allowing them to kill zombies with the help of geographical location.
The so-called advantageous location actually means that they are at a high place. They can attack the zombies under the trees, but the zombies can't do anything to them.
Although these zombies are fast and sensitive, they cannot climb trees.
Everyone was silent again. After confirming that no zombies were coming, they began to clean up the zombies.
Originally, everyone was climbing as high as they could, but after Meng Hai gave the order, the young men took their weapons and climbed under the tree.
They all carry long weapons, which keeps them as far away from zombies as possible and makes them safer.
Meng Hai tied himself to a tree with a rope, which was not only safer, but also freed his hands.
With his legs clamped on the tree trunk and a long sharpened wooden stick in his hand, Meng Hai looked at the zombies under the tree with cold eyes.
Aiming at one of them, when it was closest, Meng Hai stabbed it with all his strength and hit the zombie's throat.
Stabbing was only the first step, and then Meng Hai quickly retracted the wooden stick to prevent the weapon from being grabbed by other zombies.
After what he had done last night, the zombie he stabbed fell straight to the ground.
Meng Hai is the master among this group of people, so he can kill with one strike.
Just when Meng Hai was feeling proud, he heard Ma Shan's voice not far away: "Brother Meng, I've already killed two of them!"
"Let's see who kills the most today, brothers, let's compete together!" Meng Hai said with a smile.
He made jokes mainly to liven up the atmosphere and alleviate everyone's fears.
Only by reducing fear can young men and women exert greater fighting power. These are the experiences Meng Hai has gained.
In fact, when the density of zombies was high enough at first, they all killed them very quickly, but then the number of zombies became less and less, and it became more difficult to kill them.
"I stab..."
Next to Meng Hai, a young man gritted his teeth and stabbed with all his strength.
The wooden gun pierced the zombie's neck, but before the young man could be happy, the rope binding him around his waist suddenly broke, causing him to fall directly under the tree.
