Chapter 431 Setting Off to Catch Zombies
Early the next morning, Han Shuo instructed Cheng Shenghong and the others to stay there.
Then he found the fat man.
"Fatty, come on, let's go catch zombies."
"Okay, I understand. Wait a moment, I'll go get ready."
The fat man gave a listless reply, then turned and ran back to his room.
They had already discussed this matter last night. This trip was solely for catching zombies, so naturally, the fewer people involved, the easier the operation would be.
Therefore, Han Shuo decided to take only Fatty with him, since Fatty was now a genetically evolved human at the third stage of evolution.
Of everyone, besides him and Xiao Zhao, he was the most skilled.
Although the fat man was somewhat unwilling, he knew that in Han Shuo's eyes, his resistance was futile.
...
Soon, after the two finished preparing, they drove a truck and gradually disappeared into the distance.
On the way, Han Shuo gripped the steering wheel, glanced at the backpack the fat man was holding, and asked in confusion.
"What's in your backpack? It's so bulging!"
"hey-hey!"
The fat man chuckled and unzipped his backpack.
Han Shuo only glanced at it before feeling a headache coming on.
"My God, why are you carrying so many grenades and bombs? We're not going to war."
He had already told Fatty before he set off that it would be easier to travel light.
He himself, aside from temporarily borrowing the silver-haired man's lightsaber, only brought a bundle of rope.
He really hadn't expected that the fat man would be so scared that he would bring out so many miscellaneous weapons.
...
"Don't you understand? It's always better to be prepared, isn't it?"
The fat man glanced at Han Shuo, then ignored him and zipped up his backpack, pulling the treasure inside back into his arms.
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, said no more, and continued driving carefully.
At noon, the two ate some simple food in the car and continued to travel in the direction indicated by the map.
The two did not encounter any danger along the way.
Just as Han Shuo thought, in countries with relatively small populations, the number of zombies is generally much smaller.
Of course, the survivors didn't see it either; these are all quite normal phenomena...
...
Around 3 p.m., Han Shuo, who was driving, suddenly shouted.
"Fatty, look, isn't that the grove of trees over there?"
As soon as the voice fell, the fat man sitting in the passenger seat quickly unfolded the map, carefully examined it, and then nodded.
"It should be here. The silver-haired guy said there's a group of corpse-wearing people in the center of this dead forest."
"Okay, let's park and get to work!"
Han Shuo responded and, after confirming that they had arrived at the destination, quickly parked the car in an inconspicuous spot.
Next, it was the fat man's turn to remove the steering wheel.
Practice makes perfect. He had done this many times before, and this time it only took him about 10 seconds to remove the steering wheel from the truck.
Han Shuo didn't waste any time. He took it from the back of his head, carried it on his back, and quickly led the fat man into the dead forest.
...
After the two entered the dead forest, the sunlight above was partially blocked by the branches, making it noticeably darker.
Fortunately, because there were no leaves, Han Shuo felt that the view ahead was still relatively clear, although the field of vision was slightly reduced due to the obstruction of the tree trunks.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
The two of them stepped on the dry leaves on the ground, making a crunching sound.
At this point, they discovered that some of the dead trees had sprouted lush green grass. Although there wasn't much of it, it was enough to prove nature's ability to repair itself.
"It's so quiet here," the fat man couldn't help but exclaim.
Han Shuo did not reply to him, but focused intently and carefully led the way.
About five minutes later, he called out softly to the fat man behind him.
"Wait, let me mark this spot."
"Um."
The fat man, with a serious expression, pulled out a dagger from his pocket and carved a mark on a nearby withered tree.
Every two minutes or so, he would choose a tree and carve an arrow pointing to the exit.
On the map, this dead forest covers a large area, and wandering around blindly will likely lead to getting lost. If the direction becomes confusing, they might lose their way if they deviate even slightly.
Before we knew it, more than 20 minutes had passed.
The two walked slowly to avoid making too much noise, and fortunately, they did not encounter any danger.
...
At this moment, Han Shuo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
He first made a shushing gesture, then glanced at the area to his left.
The fat man followed his gaze and saw that, about 5 meters away, a camera was set up in the middle of a tree branch, facing them sideways.
Furthermore, above it, red dots are faintly reflected on the tree branches.
This camera is working.
Seeing this, Han Shuo knew that there really were people in the center of the dead forest, and that they had come to the right place.
The next moment, the two of them turned left quietly at the same time, bypassing the surveillance camera's range, before continuing to venture deeper inside.
The same situation occurred several more times along the way.
However, Han Shuo never let his guard down, and time and time again, he led the fat man to evade the surveillance cameras.
...
About 20 minutes later.
As the fat man passed by a clump of grass, he suddenly saw a pair of red eyes appear in it.
This scene startled him, because the red eyes represented animals infected with the Ice Crystal Virus.
He gave a soft shout and quickly pulled out his large axe, ready to fight at any moment.
Something's up!
At the same time, Han Shuo also gripped the laser sword in his hand tightly.
"Shh, shh, shh..."
The next moment, accompanied by a rustling sound from the grass, a white animal darted out from within.
"Holy crap! A zombie rabbit!"
The fat man recognized the animal at a glance, and he brandished his axe and pounced on it.
Then, his eyes widened.
Surprisingly, the rabbit didn't attack him. Instead, it crouched there, trembling slightly. Upon seeing this, the fat man instinctively stopped the axe in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the rabbit turned around and jumped back into the grass.
At that moment, the fat man suddenly remembered something.
"Uh...rabbits' eyes are naturally red..."
The fat man realized that the rabbit was not infected, and excitedly chased after it.
This was the first time he had seen such an uninfected animal in the wild since the catastrophe.
A few seconds later, he returned, holding the rabbit by the ear in his left hand.
"Look, look! A real rabbit! A real rabbit!" the fat man exclaimed excitedly.
He looked at the fluffy little thing in his hand and thought it was quite cute, so he decided to take it back and give it to Li Shurou.
"Not bad, not bad, the little gadget is really cute. I wonder if Shurou will like it."
"Even if she doesn't like it, I still like it."
The fat man muttered to himself, realizing that he really did like these little animals.
Simply put, I love it so much that I can't live without it...
