doomsday survival

Chapter 126 Attack in the Jungle
The cold glow of the silver moon sprinkled on the lush and green mountains, making it look extraordinarily bleak.

Shi Jian stood on the top of the mountain, looked around with binoculars, and finally found the location of the barracks, and also determined his bearings.

"We can only go north now, try to stay away from these zombies." Shi Jian said helplessly.

Feng Chen and the others also sighed, going north means being farther away from home.

"That's the only way to go, wait until dawn to find the way home." Shi Jian led the way to the north.

"Boss, why don't we go to the arsenal again tomorrow?" Feng Chen suggested as he walked on Shi Jian's left.

Shi Jian turned his head and took a look at Feng Chen who still didn't give up, and said, "It's useless to go, it's probably all blown up inside."

Feng Chen doubtfully said: "Impossible?"

Shi Jian smiled, shrugged, and said, "Nothing is impossible, you don't know the power of the explosion. If we weren't in the air duct, we would have been blasted to ashes."

Feng Chen's face twitched, he couldn't believe it was true.But thinking of the powerful air wave encountered in the air duct, Feng Chen felt that Shi Jian hadn't lied to him.He couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity, there are so many bullets."

Hearing this, everyone complained.In this operation, he almost lost his wife and lost his troops. Not only did the reindeer that was used for transportation die, but several people almost died as well.There are four more guns compared to when they came, but the bullets are not much more than when they came. On average, each person has less than [-] bullets.

The five of them complained quietly as they walked down the mountain, and occasionally joked about other people's embarrassing things in battle.

Shi Jian smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "It's okay, everyone's mentality is not bad, it doesn't look like a defeat at all, but a bit like a spring outing."

While talking, Shi Jian suddenly stopped, pointed the gun in his hand to a bush in front left, and immediately pulled the trigger.

The gunshot rang out, and a black figure jumped out from behind the bushes, screaming and pounced on Shi Jian at the front. It was a zombie!
Shi Jian stepped back and fired, and Feng Chen and the others hurriedly fired at the zombies.

It was unknown whose bullet hit the zombie's head, and the zombie's body fell to less than one meter in front of Shi Jian's feet by inertia.

The whistling sound of the bullets was particularly loud in this quiet night, and it spread out to the surroundings, attracting the roar of zombies one after another.

"Damn it! How many zombies are there?" Shi Jian was startled by the screams of the zombies.

run!
Without Shi Jian's orders, the five of them started running at the same time, heading towards the north where the noise of zombies is the least.

Rather than saying that they were fleeing, it would be more appropriate to say that they were retreating in an organized manner.

The speed of Shi Jian and five people is not very fast, but keeps moving forward at a constant speed.Maybe running wildly will leave behind the zombies behind, but now it is night, and it is the world of zombies.Moreover, the zombies can track the scent left by humans two hours ago. After their physical strength is exhausted, what awaits them is still the following zombies, and they will be powerless to deal with them.

While running, the formation of the five people is also orderly, not in a mess, but moving forward together in a five-point plum blossom shape.Shi Jian was in the first place, mainly guarding against zombies that might appear in front; Fengchen and Meizi were in the middle, but separated by a pass distance, and were responsible for the defense on both sides; Xiao Wu and Andre followed side by side, always running backwards alone, Be ready to attack the following zombies at any time.

Shi Jian, who was at the front, was also responsible for choosing the retreat route. He tried to stay away from the dense woods and chose to move forward in an open area.The forest may slow down the speed of chasing zombies, but at the same time it will also slow down Shi Jian's speed, and there will be unknown dangers.Zombies don't just know how to chase foolishly, they also have the instinct of predators to ambush.It wasn't the first time Shi Jian encountered this kind of situation. Just now, if he hadn't discovered it early, the zombie hiding behind the bushes had already caused casualties to them.

"Feng Chen, direction at ten o'clock!" Shi Jian shouted loudly.

Feng Chen immediately shot there, and a zombie jumped out without being hurt.

The five-member team stopped immediately, and Andre and Shi Jian on the same side fired along with Feng Chen.The zombie was successfully shot and killed only half way through.

"Go!" Shi Jian gave an order, and the five kept their formation and continued to move forward.

"Roar—" Another zombie's roar came from behind.

Xiao Wu, who was retreating, immediately shot at the zombies who were not far behind, and Andre also turned around and shot at the same time.The zombie's legs were broken by bullets, and he fell to the ground amidst the roar, unable to stand up again.

The team didn't even stagnate at all, and continued to move forward.

"What's the situation?" Shi Jian asked from the front.

"The leg was broken, and he is crawling on the ground." Xiao Wu replied immediately.

"Then ignore it and save bullets!" Shi Jian said immediately.Now he is running away, and killing zombies doesn't gain experience, as long as it can't catch up.

After running for a certain distance, Shi Jian had to slow down.There is no way, although Shi Jian has tried his best to go to the open area, but the forest still occupies most of the area, and a dense forest blocks the way in front of him.

As soon as Shi Jian slowed down, the whole team also slowed down.Feng Chen glanced at the forest in front of him, and suggested: "Boss, why don't we go around?"

Shi Jian frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I'm afraid we can't go around. Just now, the noise of zombies was the least in this direction, and going to the sides will be more dangerous."

"Then let's rush in!" Meizi said while warning to the right.

"That's the only way, everyone be careful, pay attention to the top!" After finishing speaking, Shi Jian led the way into the woods.

The sky is very clear tonight, and the nearly full moon illuminates the earth very brightly, but these have nothing to do with the Shi Jian five people who are in the woods.The tall canopy of the red pine completely blocks the forest, and only a small amount of moonlight casts mottled bright spots from the gaps in the branches and leaves.

A group of people cautiously walked through the dark and gloomy woods. Although they were still running, their speed dropped significantly.There are too many places to observe in the woods, and even the trees must be carefully guarded.Just now, a zombie hidden in a tree flew straight down from the air.If it wasn't for Meizi's quick response and rolling aside on the spot, the first casualty would have occurred in the team.

Although the zombie was shot to death in the end, several people had to slow down to prevent such things from happening again.

As soon as the speed slowed down, more and more zombies came looking for him. Shi Jian and the others killed seven zombies that were chasing from behind several times.Even in order to save ammunition, everyone chose single-shot, the dark environment and unfamiliarity with firearms also made them consume a lot of bullets.

"It can't go on like this," Shi Jian thought to himself while walking, "We must leave this forest immediately. Otherwise, even if we persist until dawn, the almost impenetrable forest will still be dominated by zombies."

Shi Jian raised his wrist and glanced at the time. It was only past ten o'clock in the evening, and there were still about six hours before dawn. The time was so short and long.With the help of the compass on the watch, Shi Jian corrected the direction of progress again, and Shi Jian led the team to continue northward.

The trees on the side watched the five people walking among them like black ghosts. The leaves rustled when the breeze blew by, as if mocking the overreach of these people.

The further Shi Jian advanced, the more frightened he became. He always felt a little uneasiness lingering in his heart, but he couldn't express it.He raised his hand, stopping the group and looking around nervously.

It was quiet everywhere, without any sound.Shi Jian laughed at himself, secretly thinking that he was too nervous.Just as he was about to move on, Shi Jian suddenly put down the foot he had just raised.

He knew something was wrong.

Quiet, it's too quiet here.It was so quiet that even the chirping of night birds could not be heard, only the breathing of five people rang in my ears.

"Oops!" Shi Jian's expression completely changed.He immediately whispered, "Ambush among us."

When the four of Feng Chen heard this, they looked at each other, their expressions were as ugly as Shi Jian's.

"Get ready to fight!" Shi Jian ordered in a low voice.

The five people immediately turned around and stood back to back, the guns in their hands dangling around with their eyes.

"There is no danger on the tree!" Feng Chen whispered.

"Stand around the tree, everyone is responsible for their own direction!" Shi Jian hurriedly gave the order.

The five people immediately gathered around the big tree beside them, stood with their backs against the big tree, stared vigilantly ahead of them, and were ready to pull the trigger at any time.

The surroundings were still as quiet as before, but this tranquility seemed so strange in the eyes of everyone in Shi Jian.The storm is actually not terrible, but the oppressive feeling of the dark clouds pressing down on the city before makes people breathless.Everyone felt their heart beating two beats faster, wishing that the zombies would appear immediately, even if they were eventually lost and killed on the spot, it was better than this kind of helpless waiting.

Finally, Xiao Wu really couldn't bear the invisible pressure, directly changed the shooting state to continuous firing, and pulled the trigger.There was a roar from the rifle, and bullets rained down.

"Come on! You bastards! I'm not afraid of you!" Xiao Wu yelled frantically.

Shi Jian frowned slightly, trying to stop Xiao Wu from yelling, but immediately gave up his thoughts.

"It's good to let him vent a bit, and lure the zombies out to save everyone from being frightened," Shi Jian said silently.

After the gunshots, there was still no movement.

Just when Shi Jian thought he had made a mistake in his judgment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps.Following the sound, a dozen or so black shadows came walking through the northern jungle not far away.Then, a similar number of zombies appeared in the east and west, and although they were not seen in the south, it sounded like more zombies were coming.

"Shoot! Shoot freely!" Shi Jian ordered loudly.
