Chapter 25 The Living Dead Are All Over the Winter House

"Tell me what happened. Do you know a young man named Barry, a worker, tall, with brown hair."

A Nuo lowered his body, hugged the man in his arms, and shouted in his ear, so as not to let the man lose consciousness.

At the same time, branch off a tube from your own heat lamp and connect it to the person's heat lamp.What a terrible thing happened to make this person pull out of the city without even having time to recharge the heat lamps that allow people to gain a foothold in the ice and snow.

And the wound on his leg, Arnold couldn't think of what kind of creature could attack humans in the city. The more he looked at these bite marks, the more they looked like human tooth marks, and he couldn't help but feel some subtle fear in his heart.

Compared with the wild beast attacks that do not yet know whether they exist, the harm between people is what Arnold fears the most.

"Leave, leave this cursed city. There was an explosion in the power tower of Winter House, and someone pulled back from outside a pile of bones with carrion hanging on them. We thought it was human bones, but the mayor asked us to dispose of the meat Blocks, heated for people to eat."

After the person in his arms got the heat supply, he finally saved his life, but half of his face was frozen pale, and the white of one eye rolled over and trembled from time to time, and he couldn't recover in a short time.

Arnold asked hurriedly: "Then what, did you really eat the same kind of meat?"

"Many people ate it. I was a chef in the kitchen. I secretly kept some normal food for myself, but I didn't eat these things. After people used these carrion processed food, the city finally settled down. Many people It seemed to be in a daze, until reports of people being attacked continued to appear at night, but people were so strange that they didn't care what was attacking them. I wanted to report to the mayor, but I was afraid that people would find me stealing food. Until two Days ago"

Speaking of this, the person in his arms coughed violently, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and one arm stretched out blankly, pulling towards the nothingness in the air, and after a while, it fell powerlessly.

He died, and he tried to say a long paragraph just now, but it was just a flashback, and the weird secrets of the Winter House have not been revealed, so Arnold and others can only let Arnold and others explore in person.

"Captain, should we notify the lighthouse first." Out of caution, the team members suggested.

Arnold shook his head and said: "The mayor has already issued an order to enter the Winter House directly. I want to see what happened to the Winter House!"

The team members were powerless to prevent Arnold from making a decision, so they had to hastily bury the worker who had escaped from Winter House.

The five packed up their luggage and walked towards the Winter Home, which was just around the corner.

The wind and snow quickly covered up the traces of their presence here. What Arnold and the others didn't know was shortly after they left.

The tomb pile buried by Fengxue began to tremble, and the thin arms that had been thin all of a sudden rose up, with the palms in a grabbing posture, and then drove the dead body to stand up.The eyes on the face have completely lost their brilliance, and there is no expression.

Only the jaw kept moving, as if eager to chew something.The living corpse stood there for a few minutes, seemingly attracted by something, and walked towards the direction of Winter Home City.

The injured leg became stronger and stronger, and the speed of supporting it became faster and faster, gradually changing from walking to running.

On the snowy ground, the revived dead were running, and the cold climate did not affect its actions at all.Will these dead be the only living things on this endless frozen land in the near future?

In New London, Li Jianghao looked at the time. At this time, the scouting team should have entered the Winter House, and there will be news soon.He has tried his best to stick the time point on this day when people have just got off work, so that he can have a whole night to relieve people's emotions.

If the news of the fall of Winter House came in broad daylight, people's mood would not be good for the whole day.If there is another production safety accident, it will really make things worse.

But at a time when people are drinking in pubs or resting at home, things are much more under control.After all, it is a busy day. During the default rest time, people's bodies will not take the initiative to produce too many extra behaviors to cause more fatigue and avoid accidents.

But until late at night, the taverns were closed, and there was still no news from the lighthouse, leaving Li Jianghao, who was prepared for the first sudden drop in his hopes, in vain.

Uneasy, he headed for the lighthouse.

The hot air balloon released by the lighthouse hangs high in the sky. At night, the light reflected by the lenses used as road signs is not very dazzling.

The liaison officer used the reconnaissance team's exploration, and the various locations hand-painted on the original map are very clear. The Winter House is located under the coal mine, and the distance is very close. It doesn't make sense that it has been so long. The reconnaissance team has not arrived at the Winter House. where.

"Mr. Mayor, you should go back and rest first. I will let you know as soon as there is news from over there." The liaison officer said enthusiastically. The mayor came here to care about the work at such a late hour. He is also very excited.

Seeing this, Li Jianghao could only helplessly say: "I hope there will be no danger, thank you for your hard work."

The liaison officer hurriedly shook his head: "It's not hard, sir. I work here, which is much easier than those manual tasks. I just receive news through the lens every day, draw maps and reports."

As soon as the liaison officer finished speaking and Li Jianghao was about to leave, he saw the lenses on the lighthouse flashing. The signal flashed very quickly, which was obviously urgent news.

"Sir, this is the frequency of the danger signal. I'll check it right away!" The liaison officer just glanced at it and was frightened by the flickering frequency. The flickering at such a distance means that the reconnaissance team has encountered great danger in the wild, and even You can ask to return directly regardless of the mayor's order!

Li Jianghao followed quickly, and watched as the liaison officer picked up a pen and paper to record the frequency of the signal, translated it into letters one after another, and the information from the signal was also displayed:

"Calling New London! This is Scouting Team One, our contact point in the coal mines. Winter House has been destroyed, and the people here are sick with a disease that bites and treats the living as food! Arno The captain was bitten, but we escaped successfully. Those sick monsters can run in the snow! We escaped temporarily with a sled, but dozens of monsters followed us and were already heading towards the coal mine. We will be in the Fight to the death here to prevent those monsters from finding their way to New London. Farewell, my countrymen, and remember, don't send anyone here!"

The liaison officer quickly finished writing the urgent message sent back from the front. His expression became flustered, and he seemed confused about the news. For a moment, he didn't know what to say and could only look at Li Jianghao behind him.

The latter's expression was cold, his eye sockets trembled slightly, and he ordered word by word:

"Let them return immediately, notify the nearest hunter team to return, and prepare to go to the steel bridge to meet them!"

The liaison officer was taken aback and asked, "Mayor?"

"I'm going with them!"
