Doomsday layman

Chapter 104 Dead End

With a sound of zigzag, Liu Lang took the electric fencing sword and stabbed a living corpse under the motorcycle to death, and then waved to the back.

In front, Zheng Wu scouted the way with a fire ax, poked his head out from the entrance of the alley furtively, and then made a gesture to indicate safety.

They have gone deep into the old city, here is really an alley in three steps, and an alley in five steps.No matter the path or the street, there are twists and turns, and there is no straight road.

There are many blind spots in this environment, and the network is complex, like a maze.Even those alleys and alleys have street signs at the entrance.If you didn’t grow up here, even if you were given a map to follow, you might get lost in it.

Fortunately, there is Xiao Qimei in the team, the Xiao family is a prominent family in Longchuan, Xiao Qimei grew up here since she was a child.Every brick and tile here is very familiar to her.

I'm afraid that even if I cover my eyes, I can find my way.

"This way." Xiao Qimei pointed to the road from time to time, and led the crowd through alleys, old buildings and huts.

The houses here have at least a few decades of history, and some have even been more than 100 years old.

Gray walls and gray tiles, every brick and every tile is imprinted with the imprint of life.

If it weren't for the rampant living corpses, such a place full of life would definitely be a good place to retire.When Liu Lang was hanging out in the capital, he thought about it more than once. When he was rich, he would buy a house in a nearby village. Then he would open the door every day, and he would be able to see the beautiful scenery of "green trees and villages, green mountains and guo slanting outside" .

A low growl from a living corpse suddenly came from behind the corner in front, messing up Liu Lang's pastoral dream and making him return to this shit-like reality.

He snorted, and rushed to the entrance of the alley with the electric fencing sword in hand, only to see Zheng Wu stepping on a living corpse with the fire ax smashing into his head.

This living corpse was very old, with dark skin and wrinkled like tree bark.Wearing white clothes and black trousers, he has a goatee beard on his chin.

The old man who was already on the verge of death, but because of the corpse change, he became the ghost he is now.

But finally, Zheng Wu helped him escape.

Liu Lang turned his head and said, "The people living here are all old people."

Since entering the old city, they have killed the living corpses of the four elders sporadically, most of them were old people, and only one middle-aged man in his fifties was among them.

Xiao Qimei nodded and said: "Since Longchuan vigorously developed the new city 30 years ago, [-]% of the young people have moved to the new city. Because there are more opportunities for entrepreneurship and more jobs. So here in the old city, basically all people are legs. The inconvenient old man stayed, and after the old man passed away, no new residents moved in, and the old city became less and less populated.”

"Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise, we would be in big trouble." Liu Lang pointed to the old buildings in the surrounding alleys, "In this kind of environment, it doesn't take much, as long as there are one or two thousand living corpses, we won't die if we keep them." know how to die."

Xiao Qimei walked out of the alley, beckoning: "Okay, don't point fingers. Come with me, there is a small square in front, and there is a shortcut leading to Chang'an Gate in the inner city."

Liu Lang wondered, "Do you still have a city gate?"

Xiao Qimei smiled and said: "I can't see it. We are next to Dongchuan River. In ancient times, it was a battleground for military strategists. Therefore, there are inner and outer cities. The inner city is separated by a city wall, and there are two gates in Chang'an and Dongtai. .”

"If the situation is urgent, the residents of the outer city can enter the inner city through these two gates. My grandfather said that we have had a great war in history, and we survived only by relying on the walls of the inner city. .”

While they were talking, they walked along a winding street and walked into a small square.Zheng Wu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, causing Liu Lang behind him to almost miss him.

"Don't just stop without saying anything," Liu Lang complained, then looked past Zheng Wu and looked into the small square.

There is a big banyan tree planted in the middle of the small square. There is an ancestral hall to the north and a small road next to the ancestral hall.This path seems relatively straight, and from the intersection, you can vaguely see a section of the city wall.

That should be the shortcut that Xiao Qimei said.

But in this small square, under the big banyan tree, there were actually a dense crowd of figures standing.Looking around, they were all little old men and little old ladies.

It's just that these uncles and aunts have all turned into living corpses now, and for some reason, they are all crowded here.

Looking at this appearance, I am afraid that the residents who still live here in the unrenovated outer city are all in this small square now!
"How could this be?"

Xiao Qimei exclaimed, it seems that the little girl never thought it would be like this: "It shouldn't be, this day, there are still more than three months before the ancestor sacrifice, they shouldn't all come to the ancestral hall. "

Liu Lang whispered: "I don't know, but I know, we have to run."

At the end of Lao Liu's words, under the banyan tree, an old man with missing front teeth looked over.Zheng Wu's figure was reflected in his gray eyes, the old man suddenly let out a hoarse cry, dropped a crutch in his hand, and jumped over like a rabbit.

"Run!" Liu Lang yelled, pulled Xiao Qimei around and ran away.

The people behind them didn't dare to show their ink, so they spread their legs and followed Liu Lang and the others.

Liu Lang also complained secretly, if the large discharge mode can still be used, this living corpse is not a problem at all.And if you kill them, you can take a shortcut directly into the inner city.

It's a pity that although the electric fencing sword can recharge by itself, one day is not enough for it to fully recharge.

Let Lao Liu use the sword stabbing technique he has learned for a day to deal with hundreds of living corpses. Even with electric fencing and reinforced clothing, he can't afford the courage.

Fortunately, the streets and alleys of this old city are complicated and there are many sundries, which created many obstacles for the living corpses.No, as soon as he rushed into the alley, Zheng Wu, who was originally exploring the way, turned into a queen. When he ran past some sundries such as boxes, bamboo poles, he didn't forget to overturn them.

The living corpse ran too fast, tripped and wrestled again and again, and then was trampled by the same kind behind it, and its limbs would be broken if it didn't die, and the speed was much slower when it caught up again.

Even so, the crowd was still chasing in a hurry, wandering around in many narrow alleys like headless chickens.

At this time, Xiao Qimei couldn't remember the way, so she could only rush by feeling.

Unexpectedly, they rushed into a dead end. When they turned a corner and saw a tall wall built in front of them, Liu Lang wailed.

The roar of the corpse came from behind, and it was almost impossible to retreat.Liu Lang looked around, pointed at the wall on the left and shouted: "Climb up, hurry up, and climb over the wall!"

There are some wooden boxes piled up under the wall, as well as layers of cardboard, a basket of crushed beverage cans and so on.The important thing is that the wall here is relatively short, and when you climb into the wooden box, your head has already reached the top of the wall.

Zhang Danni and others quickly climbed onto the wooden boxes, but there were only three wooden boxes and the area was limited, so they could not accommodate so many people at once.

When Xiao Qimei climbed onto a wooden box, Xiu Min behind grabbed her by the hair and pulled her off!
