Chapter 42 A Mountain Fire

the next day.

Today's indoor temperature is one degree higher than yesterday.I tried to take out the thermometer attached to the wall to face the ground, and the temperature seemed to rise instantly. In order to prevent the indoor thermometer from exploding, I quickly put my hand and the thermometer back.

With such a high temperature, I don't know if the earth will become a fireball.

However, the high temperature in the past few days has indeed set the earth on fire.

……

The place where the fire is located is the mountain where the reservoir is located.

It was because we slept with the windows open at night that we were able to smell this burning smell in time.

It was Fang Zhijiu who smelled it first. The windows on the first floor were opened wider, and some burnt plant ash floated in.

He first rang the room of Lin Kai and his father.Jia Yang, me, and Tian Li were woken up, and we walked out the door, only to see flames covering the mountain.

Although we really want to know the cause of the fire, the problem in front of us now is how to put out the fire. If we don’t put out the fire, the whole mountain will burn down. The vegetation coverage on our mountain is very wide, and it will burn down as soon as tomorrow morning. We're down.

We quickly put on our clothes and went out to check the situation of the zombies.

Zombies don't seem to be able to stand the high temperature. Recently, their activity has been very low. Before we found that they were afraid of the violent sound of firecrackers, and recently we found that they were also afraid of high temperature.

After seeing that there were no zombies around the fence, we ran out, and our vision became wider. At this time, the fire on the mountain was already burning very big. Starting from the position of the reservoir halfway up the mountain, the flames shot up very high and very big.

When we looked up, the orange light of the flames shone on our faces, like the light of the setting sun, or the light of hell.

Lin Kai and his father went to wake up the villagers and the group of five. Some villagers just shouted, "It's over! It's over! God is going to kill us! It's the end!"

Fang Zhijiu and Jia Yang came to their senses first and told everyone to go up the mountain with shovels and axes.

This time we are not going to explode the heads of zombies, but to chop trees.

Jia Yang observed the wind direction, and it is east wind now, so we still have the opportunity to cut down the trees halfway up the mountain to prevent the trees below the mountainside from being burned.

With the light of the flames, the mountain road was much easier to walk. A group of more than 20 people walked up the mountain with tools in hand, and we also carried some buckets.

Walking up the mountain, heat waves hit us one after another. I went to a steam room with a temperature of more than 50 degrees before, and now this heat wave is only higher than the temperature at that time, not lower.

The joints are aching from the heat.

Now that we have arrived at the reservoir, we can see that the fire is not far away, burning continuously, and there are crackling sounds between the branches.

I don’t know if our strenuous activities attracted zombies. Two zombies followed us up the mountain, but they didn’t walk very fast because of the high temperature. They were the same as the zombies I met on the mountain before. can be broken.

Two of the five members of the group had dealt with zombies many times. Two of them ran forward as bait but prevented the two zombies from catching them. The other three skillfully grabbed the zombies, like escorting prisoners. Talk about the back of the zombie's hand to prevent the zombie from biting him, and then the other two grabbed the zombie's foot together and threw the zombie into the fire not far away.

The group of five seemed to feel the extremely high temperature. After returning, they covered their mouths and noses and jumped into the reservoir, then got up from the reservoir.Because of the high temperature, there is a circle of water vapor around the body, just like the little ghost in the bamboo forest in the ancient Hong Kong ghost movies.

After the zombies were thrown into the fire, their bodies started to burn instantly. They struggled to escape from the sea of ​​flames, but they were "entangled" by the fire, and they couldn't escape no matter what. , the voice was piercing and shrill.

We surrounded the fire, like primitive people, exercising the witchcraft of a certain tribe, "punishing" the sinner, the zombie.

I turned my back, not wanting to see such a tragic "death" situation. Although the zombies are no longer our kind, they were still living people not long ago...but where am I?I also smashed the heads of quite a few zombies.

Lin Kai "tsk tsk" a few times and sighed: "The method is too vicious."

After the group of five heard this, they immediately turned their heads and stared at Lin Kai viciously. They seemed to be afraid of Lin Kai's "identity" and did not dare to respond to him.

After Fang Zhijiu noticed their eyes, his eyes changed from indifferent to falcon-like.

The group of five was no longer arrogant.

As expected of being the captain of the rescue team, Fang Zhijiu quickly arranged the location for felling the big tree.Let everyone start cutting the bamboo next to them, and there are still some big trees that cannot be cut down for a while, so Tian Li and I are asked to keep splashing water to get wet.

Jia Yang observed the direction of the wind while chopping bamboo.

But our speed couldn't keep up with the burning speed of the fire. We kept repeating the previous actions, and sweat kept falling from our bodies.

Everyone is about to be unable to withstand the high temperature. In addition to the trees, we kept pouring water on everyone to cool everyone down.

But after splashing water, the surrounding fog became heavier.

This forest is like a joyous place of flames, they burn wantonly, and countless bamboos are burned, and the bamboos make a crackling sound after being burned.Tired and dizzy, in a trance, I seemed to hear the wailing of other animals.

I asked Jia Yang, "Is it a zombie?"

"It should be a wild boar." Jia Yang's sweat kept rolling down his face, and his hair was already soaked.

It has been almost three months without a haircut, and Jia Yang's hair has become very long. I handed Jia Yang the black rubber band that he carried with him, and asked Jia Yang to tie up his hair.

After his sight became clear, Jia Yang shouted: "Run!" He was about to come and pull me.

At this time, the fire in front of me made a loud sound of "呵呵, 噗味" because it was burning, and the wind direction changed at this time!
The big tree in front had already been set on fire, and the huge branches on the big tree started to burn, and fell down after being scorched.

Some twigs fell beside me, and I instinctively wanted to elbow to block, a burning branch fell on my arm, and some small twigs and leaves fell beside me.

There were many dead leaves on the ground, which were ignited instantly, but because we poured a lot of water here just now, it did not cause a large-scale combustion here.

Jia Yang grabbed my other wrist, and suddenly I shook the bucket out of my hand.

He immediately took me away, and looking back, I could only see the huge branches of this big tree starting to burn, and the sound of the branches cracking was the painful moan of this big tree.

At this moment, the pain on the elbow came.

Turning around, everyone is desperately cutting down trees to prevent the fire from becoming wider and stronger...
