Southeast of the oil city, the Dabie Mountains.

The forest is chilly, and the moonlight shines through the dense forest on a small earth slope halfway up the mountain.

The small soil slope was covered with thick layer of soil, which was trampled tightly. There was a steel chimney in the middle at the top, and white smoke was slowly emitting.

In front of this small earth slope are six or seven big trees, and three ropes are tied up and down around the big trees to block the approach of ordinary zombies.

Below the small slope, there are wooden doors made of thick logs, and on both sides of the wooden door are grille breathable windows made of wood.

There was a faint ray of flames inside.

When you walk in, you will find that it has been hollowed out inside and the sunken ground has been sunken.

This is quite like a hobbit floor, but it is much simpler, and it is even more like a shelter in the jungle outside the night.

However, this shelter looks simple, but its defense can at least block the attacks of a small number of ordinary zombies.

The shelter looks much bigger than the outside, with a total of more than twenty square meters, and there are about ten people scattered inside.

This group of people exchanged for ultraviolet lights from the trading market.

The biggest feature of their team is that most of the members were wild survival enthusiasts before the end of the world, and several of them were wild survival experts before the end of the world.

The simple earth pit stove is well built, drifting the burning flames through the chimney, almost not trapped in this shelter.

Everyone was eating cooked food, and the walls of the pits on both sides were covered with all kinds of smoked black meat.

"Brother Dongming, we have been in Dabie Mountain for almost half a month. The wild animals we caught and the wild plants we excavated were enough for us to support for a while. Should we go back to the trading market to rest?" Zhu Ziming said while eating the cooked rhizomes in his hand.

In the last few years of the end of the world, many animals have escaped the pursuit of zombies.

Especially in the primeval forest, ordinary zombies walk slowly and are easily stuck by the vines in the primeval forest, which also gives many animals a chance to survive.

The Dabie Mountains are rich in materials and there are many edible plants and animals.

But most ordinary people don’t know these plants and don’t know if they can be eaten.

When faced with some animals, I don’t know how to set up traps to catch them.

On the contrary, those who were surviving in the wild before the end of the world lived more nourishing in the end of the world.

Xie Dongming tore the meat strips in his hand, which were dried by the smoked pheasant. After being smoked and dried, it was dry. When it was torn open with force, a lot of powder drifted away.

He did not answer Zhu Ziming's question immediately, but asked his wife next to him:

“How much food do we have now?”

Xie Dongming's wife thought about it carefully and replied:

"There are almost 500 kilograms of pheasants, little spirit cats, pangolins, and wild boars, and there are about 300 kilograms of edible plants."

"Half of them were hidden in our underground secret storage room in Xinxian County at the foot of the mountain."

"Um."

After thinking for a while, Xie Dongming looked at Zhu Ziming and said:

"It's almost the same. No matter how many we probably can't stand the mountain."

When everyone heard Xie Dongming intends to go down the mountain, a happy smile suddenly appeared on their faces.

In the past half month, almost as soon as the sun came out, they took their crossbows and spears to capture animals. Women were digging and collecting edible plants in the mountains and forests, and dealing with the large animals they caught to smoke.

They set up many traps, and the meat they caught was mainly attributed to the two fat wild boars.

Their treatment has been made of more than 500 kilograms, which is still smoked and air-dried.

A three-pound pheasant only has one pound after being smoked and air-dried.

Three to one ratio.

Using smoked and air-dried meat pieces will not only reduce the size and weight of them to facilitate transportation, but also have a longer shelf life.

Although there is no fresh meat in terms of taste, it is all the end of the world. Being able to preserve food for a long time is the first key consideration.

"Brother Dongming, will we go back to the trading market tomorrow?" asked a man in the crowd who looked less than thirty years old.

Xie Dongming nodded, "Well, let's go down the mountain tomorrow. From here to the bottom of the mountain, I guess I have to walk a mountain road for one day, set out early tomorrow, and strive to arrive in Xinxian before the sun sets."

"That's great!" The man bit the food in his mouth with big mouthfuls, imagining that he had to sleep for a day and a night after returning to the trading market.

Although they are used to life in the wild, they always worry about the zombies approaching each time it is night.

Although there are relatively few zombies in this mountain forest, occasionally appearing outside the shelter is enough to make people feel palpitations.

"Zi Ming, Wang Jing, Sun Peng, you three take turns to work night shifts tonight." Xie Dongming explained to the three of them.

"Okay." The three of them nodded.

Xie Dongming looked at the others and instructed: "Others, please take a break early. It is not easy for us to take these things to climb the mountain road tomorrow."

Everyone nodded, then finished eating the food in their hands, and leaned against the earthen wall behind to rest.

Zhu Ziming and the other three took turns, and Zhu Ziming took the first shift.

He held a spear and placed an ultraviolet flashlight next to it.

They only used this ultraviolet light flashlight once.

That was their first night when they came to Xinxian County, Shanxia, ​​after they left the trading market.

That night they spent the night in the secret warehouse in Xinxian County. A zombie climbed the wall smelled them, found them, and violently slapped the door of the warehouse.

Finally, the ultraviolet light was turned on and the zombie climbed off.

No one wants to fight close-up with the zombies climbing the wall at night.

Most ordinary people have no choice but to die when encountering zombies climbing the wall at night.

The zombies who climb the wall are extremely sensitive and have amazing jumping power, and can also crawl. Many times they appear behind you without knowing each other, and they are hard to guard against.

They have always been reluctant to use up the electricity inside this ultraviolet light flashlight. If they have not encountered zombies crawling walls, they will never turn it on easily.

Once the power is used up, they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat against zombies who climb the wall, and they don’t know whether they can survive.

Time flows.

A low snoring sound came from the small shelter.

After three hours on duty, Zhu Ziming stood up and walked inside.

"Sun Peng, wake up, it's time for you to watch the night."

Sun Peng was covered in dust, perhaps because of the burning flames in the earth stove in the shelter, which made him feel a little dry and his lips were chapped and white.

"Oh, OK."

Sun Peng rubbed his face hard and tried to make himself more awake.

He stood up and took the spear from Zhu Ziming's hand and walked towards the wooden door of the shelter.

When he was a little confused, he was sitting on the wooden stake behind the wooden door in a daze, and a jingling sound suddenly came from outside.

hiss!

In an instant, when Sun Peng heard the sound, he got goosebumps.

"There is a situation!" he shouted loudly to the people in the shelter.

Zhu Ziming, who had just sat down, immediately got up, took a crossbow and a few arrow feathers from the earthen wall, and rushed to the door.

Everyone in the shelter woke up, but none of them moved.

When they built this shelter, they built it in a semi-underground manner to minimize construction projects.

The shelter is in a long shape as a whole. There is only one door when the shelter is out, and the window is only two meters away.

Once they move around, they will not only not be able to help, but will also cause trouble to the people in front of them.

"Don't get up, I'll go over and take a look." Xie Dongming, who was in the center of the shelter, picked up his spear and hurried to the location at the door of the shelter.

Zhu Ziming was holding a flashlight and shining it on the outside through a wooden grille to check the situation outside.

"Did you see what it is?" Xie Dongming asked nervously.

Zhu Ziming looked serious and shone his flashlight on the left and right.

"I didn't see it, I don't know what it was."

At this moment, a sudden movement came from their heads.

Ruth of soil fell from the top of the head.

The first layer of them above uses a row of thick tree sticks to support the top, covers a layer of tarp, lays a layer of leaves, and then uses the digging soil to lay a thick layer.

People will not collapse even if they stand on it.

But this movement is obviously greater than that of a person.

"Breaking through our rope and above our heads!" Zhu Ziming said horrified.

Dong!

There was another loud noise from the top of my head, and the wood supported on it made a crackling sound.
