Chapter 118

Fang Du smiled and said to Zhu Xiaoming: "This time we don't have to look for those valuable seeds. Let's just plant tree stumps in the woods outside the reserve."

"This...isn't good..." Zhu Xiaoming hesitated.

Fang Du waved his hand: "What's wrong? We haven't lost anything anyway. Besides, the residents of our reserve don't have much fighting ability. If we plant those harmful plants again, wouldn't it cause greater casualties to them?"

?"

Zhu Xiaoming thought about it. Planting those harmful plants would indeed be beneficial to the people in the reserve.

He did not try to dissuade Fang Du, but asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Fang Dudao: "Our plan is very simple. We first find enough tree stumps nearby, uproot these stumps, and then place those stumps in the area where the residents of the reserve live."

"At that time, it will be said that we, Fangdu, built a large tree stump factory in the reserve to defend against zombies and transport them to the town."

"As for the residents of the reserve, as long as they do not leave the reserve, they are unlikely to encounter any danger. Even if some survivors encounter crises in the reserve, they only need to rush to the reserve in time."

When Zhu Xiaoming heard Fang Du's suggestion, he couldn't help but admire: "Old Fang, you are so smart!"

Fang Du laughed, he had long been used to this petty compliment.

Zhu Xiaoming said: "But our people are all in the protected area. Even if we transport these tree stumps into the woods, they can only be effective by transporting them to suburbs far away from the city."

Fang Du said: "It doesn't matter. I have set up several portals around me. There are two cars in each portal. We can transport these tree stumps from the cars to the woods."

Zhu Xiaoming was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly slapped Fang Du on the shoulder: "Awesome, boss, I'm really convinced by you. This is a brilliant idea. Why didn't I think of it?"

Fang Du smiled and shook his head: "I just came up with a general idea, the specific operation is up to us."

Zhu Xiaoming quickly said: "We can hire some people to help, we are familiar with these things!"

"No, I will do it myself." Fang Du said: "After all, I can only experience the fun of the tree stump by doing it myself. I don't worry about others."

Seeing this, Zhu Xiaoming didn't insist anymore. After all, he knew very well that he could only do it in the defensive zone. If he wanted to make the tree stumps with his own hands, Fang Du would have to come in person.

That afternoon, Fang Du took Jiang Wei and Li Wenlong out of the reserve and took a car to the north of the reserve. He planned to find a few taller tree stumps in a forest in the north, and then install fuel on the stumps to make them emit light.

The dazzling light attracts a large number of survivors to visit.

They wandered around the northern forest twice and found two tree stumps covered with dense weeds. This surprised Fang Du, because according to the physical fitness of the residents in the reserve, it was impossible for them to survive in such an environment.

Living so comfortably.

"Something's wrong!" Fang Du frowned and thought.

Even under such harsh conditions, it is absolutely impossible for the residents of the reserve to grow so lushly, and they still look quite lush.

"Is there any treasure in this forest?" Fang Du thought to himself.

They continued walking along the dense bush for some distance, and found that a small hill appeared in front of them.

The slope of this hill is not high, but it is very steep.

"The slope of this hill is too steep. It's impossible to climb over it." Jiang Wei looked at the hill in front of him and said with some worry.

At this time, Li Wenlong suddenly raised his arm and pointed forward, shouting excitedly: "Boss, look there is a creek ahead!"

Creek?

Fang Du looked in the direction of Li Wenlong's finger and saw a small river flowing in front of him.

However, the water in this river is very turbid. It looks like it has been mixed with mud, and the color is very ugly.

"That creek...could it be that tree stump?" Fang Du asked excitedly.

This place is not far from the residents of the reserve. Fang Du believes that if he can really find tree stumps and install fuel on the tree stumps, then the residents of the entire reserve will be able to gain stronger bodies with the help of these tree stumps.

.

In this way, when the reserve is built, it will be much easier for them to live in it.

Moreover, he can also use the fuel on the tree stumps to turn those tree stumps into charcoal, which can then be used to make a catapult the size of a matchbox.

Thinking of a slingshot the size of a matchbox, Fang Du couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart.

A matchbox-sized sling is no longer a small weapon in this apocalyptic world, but a powerful and destructive weapon.

Although the success rate of making these weapons is extremely low, there is still great hope for Fang Du, who has a strong physique.

Thinking of this, Fang Du couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his heart beat faster.

"Lao Fang, Lao Fang?" Seeing that Fang Du ignored him, Zhu Xiaoming shouted several times before Fang Du came back to his senses.

Fang Du came back to his senses, scratched his head in embarrassment, and asked: "Xiao Ming, what's wrong?"

Zhu Xiaoming said somewhat depressedly: "Let me ask you, is there any problem with the creek in front?"

Fang Du asked in confusion: "What's the problem?"

"Look at that river..." Zhu Xiaoming pointed to the creek in the distance.

The shape of the creek is conical, and there are many branches floating on the conical water surface.

"What's the problem with this?" Fang Du asked with some confusion.

"Have you not noticed? The water in this creek is black!" Zhu Xiaoming reminded.

Fang Du nodded: "Oh~~ I noticed it, but the river water is not ordinary black water, right?"

"Of course it's not ordinary!" Zhu Xiaoming nodded affirmatively.

"Why is this an unusual law?" Fang Du asked.

"Look carefully at the water in the creek..." After Zhu Xiaoming finished speaking, he stretched out his finger towards the creek.

"Huh?" Fang Du didn't know what he wanted to do, but he still raised his head and looked, and his face turned dark instantly.

Because he saw many rotting corpses floating in the creek, and the degree of decay was a hundred times worse than the big tree he saw just now.

Looking at these corpses, Fang Du felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

"No! This shouldn't be a human body..."

Before Fang Du finished speaking, Zhu Xiaoming suddenly punched the rock wall next to him. There was a roar, and a corner of the rock wall collapsed with his punch.

At this time, an idea suddenly flashed in Fang Du's mind. He turned his head suddenly, stared at a big pit next to him and said, "Xiao Ming, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Xiaoming snorted coldly: "Do you even need to ask? Look at that big pit. Don't you think there are some things lying in it? And the river water here is black. I guess these things should be the corpses of zombies.

!"

"But why are zombies here?" Fang Du said in confusion.

Zhu Xiaoming shook his head and said: "No matter what, we must go in as soon as possible to see the situation. I suspect that this big hole may have been left by zombies!"

Fang Du was silent for a moment and said, "Okay then, I'll take you down first."

"Yes!" Zhu Xiaoming nodded and said: "The corpses here should be almost rotten. I estimate that they have been rotting for at least five years. We must seize the time to go in and have a look."

"Okay! Let's go in!" Fang Du nodded.

Immediately, Fang Du took out a rope from his backpack and tied it to the steel cable around his waist. Then he jumped off the rope with his feet and landed directly at the bottom of the pit.

After Fang Du landed at the bottom of the pit, he checked around and found nothing unusual, so he put away the rope and said to everyone: "Let's go in and take a look."

Li Wenlong and the other three nodded, followed Fang Du, and jumped into the creek.

When Fang Du entered the creek, he saw that the bottom of the water was full of rotten leaves, which looked very strange. He couldn't help frowning and asked: "There are corpses in this creek, haven't you noticed?"

Li Wenlong and the other three shook their heads and said, "No."

Fang Du couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I wonder if there is a ghost in this creek. Maybe this creek is a trap, specially designed to trap zombies."

As soon as Fang Du finished speaking, he heard two "puff" sounds, and a line of white mist emerged in front of them, and then they saw a woman in white clothes walking out from behind a raised rock.

Fang Du and the others were stunned. This woman's face was very pale, her lips were light pink, and her skin was as fair as jade.

She held a short knife with a sharp blade in her hand, with a cold smile on her face.

Fang Du's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this woman must be the one who was attracted by the branches just now, because among the corpses he saw just now, there was a corpse with the same appearance as this woman.

At that time, Fang Du just felt strange.

After all, in this environment, anyone will have the illusion that there are many people or other creatures around. As long as other animals appear within his field of vision, he will think that they are other creatures.

But just now he witnessed the water in the creek and the woman in white robe with his own eyes, and he was finally sure that those people were not human beings at all.

Because the human body will never have such strong recovery power, nor such speed.

Moreover, he just observed that the shapes of those people's eyes and nostrils were the same as those of normal people.

Therefore, Fang Du dares to conclude that this woman in white robe is no ordinary person at all.

"Who are you?" Zhu Xiaoming asked in a deep voice.

Fang Du did not dare to take it lightly, because he felt a dangerous aura from this white-robed woman.

"I'm here to kill you!" The woman in white robe said in a cold voice, as if she was telling something unrelated.

"Xiao Ming, be careful." Fang Du warned.

Zhu Xiaoming nodded, holding a steel fork, and attacked the woman in white robe.
