Chapter 198 200 Han Jiang's Thoughts
Although Huo Ye was somewhat worried about the safety of Cai Ran and others, and did not quite agree with Chai Ming's statement, he did not openly refute Chai Ming's decision. He still had to give his friends enough face in front of outsiders.
However, Huo Ye also had his own way of dealing with it. Huo Ye winked at a silent young man in the corner of the room. The man nodded at Huo Ye and then turned and left.
When Chai Ming heard the noise and looked back, the person had already left. He frowned and looked at Huo Ye with some dissatisfaction, and Huo Ye forced a smile to please him.
Chai Ming sighed. The man who went out was a scout who was good at reconnaissance and eavesdropping. He was a smart person and not a reckless person. So he let him go.
The school gate and a section of the wall were damaged by the monsters. Now there are only two members of Huo Ye's team on guard and patrolling here. They do not restrict people's movement and are only responsible for patrolling and reporting the situation.
Cai Ran, Han Jiang and others walked out of the school gate and walked along the road. After a few steps, they saw a pool of blood on the side of the road. The blood had solidified into brown and was spreading intermittently into the grass on the side of the road.
Jin Liu's face turned pale. He looked around nervously and clenched the long rolling pin he found in the kitchen in his hand.
Cai Ran and Han Jiang walked towards the grass at the same time. Occasionally, there was a rustling sound in the green grass. Han Jiang glanced at Cai Ran. Cai Ran smiled and took a step forward. He stretched the long straight knife in his hand towards the grass. He wanted to push aside the grass to see what was making the noise in the grass. Just as the straight knife in his hand was about to reach the grass, there was a "swish" sound and something flashed by. "Swish, swish, swish", a group of gray-eyed monsters the size of house cats and with sharp teeth in their mouths scattered.
Jin Liu and Han Fei's faces turned pale. They saw a corpse lying in the grass. Although the corpse was torn into pieces by the monster, the face could still be seen clearly. It was a strange middle-aged man.
A few days ago, some unlucky classmates and teachers were torn to death by monsters. After seeing a stranger, everyone felt relieved.
They stepped back and prepared to continue searching forward, when suddenly Han Fei screamed "Ah!" and then fell to the ground with a "bang".
Cai Ran pulled out his straight knife with a "swish" sound and looked around. It was empty everywhere, with no one else there except the four of them.
"Why are you screaming? Are you afraid that the monster can't find you?" Cai Ran put away the straight knife and shouted angrily at Han Fei.
"I...I didn't mean to do that. Something just passed under my feet." Han Fei said with a trembling voice and a crying tone.
"The past is the past. Nothing happened to you. Is it worth crying about such a small thing?" Cai Ran said with disgust.
"Cai Ran, look at Xiaofei's feet!" Han Jiang frowned and pointed at the place under Han Fei's feet with a serious face.
There was an obvious pit under Han Fei's feet, and the moist soil around the pit was vaguely visible.
Cai Ran's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Han Fei with an incredible expression, "Han Fei, you are really strong, you can make a hole with just one kick."
Han Jiang looked at Cai Ran speechlessly, then kicked a few times somewhere in front of Han Fei, "pa, pa, pa". After a "bang" sound of soil collapse, a long and narrow pit appeared in front of him.
Cai Ran looked at the hole in surprise and opened his mouth wide.
"This is"
"Just now, something that can burrow into the ground passed by here. Judging from the shape of the hole, that thing was not very big. Xiaofei must have been frightened by the sudden collapse of the ground!" Han Jiang said to Cai Ran, pointing at the hole.
Han Fei nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, I thought the ground was going to collapse, but I didn't expect that only that part collapsed."
Cai Ran nodded involuntarily. So that's how it is. If the ground collapsed, it would be really scary.
"Do you know what this means?" Han Jiang asked meaningfully.
"What does it mean?" Cai Ran looked at Han Jiang's serious expression in some confusion.
"The soil under our school is the same as this side. If these small monsters that can burrow into the ground live in groups, then the underground of our school is not very safe!" Han Jiang said with some heaviness.
With so many people gathered together in the school, although the monsters are powerful, their numbers are not too large. Gathering many people is an advantage in survival, but due to the poor quality of the school buildings, food shortage, and the several school leaders and prestigious teachers who take the lead in charge each holding their own opinions, there is no way to form a favorable offensive and defensive alliance, and the advantage of having more people cannot be brought into play.
Han Jiang is smart and has great prestige among his classmates. However, he is still young and a student, so he has little say among the teachers and school leaders.
Cai Ran suddenly understood. Yes, no matter whether it was the teachers and classmates in the school before, or Brother Huo Ye and the others now, they all focused their defense on the ground. If the underground was unstable and the houses collapsed, and they were not prepared, then there would be a big problem!
The more Cai Ran thought about it, the colder his spine became. The quality of the school buildings was already unsatisfactory. If...
He patted Han Jiang's shoulder excitedly and said, "Old Han, you are really careful and observant, and you have a good brain. Why didn't I think of this? This is a serious matter, let's go back and remind Brother Huo and the others!"
"Don't worry, Brother Huo and the others will definitely come out to check it out once they get the news. Then we can look for clues nearby. Isn't that safer?" Cai Ran said anxiously.
Cai Ran entered the classroom where Huo Ye and the others were. Han Jiang and the other two were stopped outside as usual. "Brother Jiang, is it true that it's unsafe underground?" Jin Liu asked tentatively.
Han Jiang put his hands in his trouser pockets and nodded softly.
"Then why did you tell him? Wouldn't it be better if we told the school leaders or the new people ourselves?" Jin Liu said in a low voice.
"What if Cai Ran takes all the credit for himself again? Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?" Jin Liu said anxiously.
"It would be easy to deal with if Cai Ran was that kind of person, but unfortunately he is not." Han Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said.
Han Jiang sighed quietly in his heart. They were in a remote mountainous area, with local troops stationed near ZJ City. The mountain roads were rugged, and it took about three or four hours to drive to the city. Moreover, the population density where they were was not high, so if they wanted to wait for official rescue, they didn't know how long they would have to wait.
The group of people who saved their lives obviously did not look like ordinary people. If they could follow them to a nearby densely populated city, their chances of survival would undoubtedly be greatly increased.
Salute to the soldiers fighting on the front line.
