Chapter 620 Two Men and One Woman
At this moment, Han Shuo and his three companions were fishing in a sea area near the west...
That's right, their food supply is also about to run out this month.
What they had set aside were only some compressed biscuits, a type of food that could stave off hunger but they would not eat easily, but rather reserved for emergencies later.
The four of them didn't have a very good catch today. Since they couldn't find any exotic species nearby, they spent the rest of their time fishing.
The main reason for fishing instead of catching fish is:
As they ventured deeper into the Northern Hemisphere, the temperature dropped further and further.
Whether it's day or night, the temperature remains below zero for almost the entire time.
In cold environments, the seawater is even more icy and bone-chilling.
Not wanting to get their clothes wet and suffer on the rest of the journey, but also wanting a hot meal, they had no choice but to patiently fish there with their rods...
...
Fortunately, because it was located near the coast, surrounded by a range of recreational facilities, and a nearby abandoned fishing tackle shop had all the fishing tools they needed.
And so, Fatty and Xiao Zhao took their fishing rods and began their leisure time.
...
Han Shuo surveyed the horizon through binoculars from a high vantage point. Seeing no signs of the corpse bird flock appearing in the surroundings, he boldly started a fire on the beach.
As for the wind, it can just sit by the fire and wait to eat.
About an hour later, Fatty and Xiao Zhao finally caught four fish.
Although there are fewer fish, each one is quite large.
Han Shuo felt that this was enough for them to have a hearty lunch, so he waved and called the two of them over.
Collect the fish, scale it, gut it, skewer it, grill it, and sprinkle with seasonings...
The series of tasks were completed quickly, and after a hot lunch was eaten, the four of them regained their strength and felt much more energetic.
...
"belch--!"
After lunch, the fat man broke off a branch, picked his teeth, and let out a burp.
"Excellent, excellent, truly excellent! It was a wise move of of us to include seasonings in our supplies this time."
Sigh~
Xiao Zhao sighed, and Chen Hai's face unconsciously came to mind.
"It's a pity. If Uncle Hai were here, the grilled fish would definitely taste even better."
As the words fell, Han Shuo also felt a pang of longing for his other brothers who were far away...
After a short rest, the four of them set off again along the coastline.
...
Before we knew it, two hours had passed.
Around 2 p.m., to the four people’s surprise, they saw a wisp of white smoke rising from behind a mountain wall in the distance.
This is clearly smoke from a campfire.
The fat man pointed at the white smoke excitedly, as if he had discovered an alien.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, there's someone, there's a living person!"
Han Shuo and his two companions also became interested; this was the first time in a month that they had encountered other survivors in the wild.
Without saying much, the four quickly went around to the hillside from one side.
...
A few minutes later, Han Shuo stood at a high point, took out his binoculars, and looked in the direction from which the white smoke was rising.
Sure enough, several hundred meters away, outside a grove of trees, three figures appeared.
Two men and one woman, holding sticks and machetes, dressed in tattered clothes, were gathered around a fire where a lamb was being roasted.
The fat man's mouth watered at the sight of this, and he suddenly felt hungry again.
"My goodness, they actually caught a wild lamb."
"Can the three of them finish all this meat...?"
Clearly, he had the idea of going over to try it.
Han Shuo ignored him, but his attention was drawn to a small submarine near the rocks below the hillside.
"Huh? These three look pretty down on their luck, but they actually have a submarine?"
He was very curious about this question.
"Could it be that these two men and one woman ahead are living inside a submarine?"
Well... he does seem to think this approach is quite good.
After all, there are no zombies on the sea, and this airtight metal sheet can withstand the attack of the zombie bird swarm.
From this perspective, it's not surprising that these three people are still alive.
...
At that moment, the four of them were secretly observing from a distance.
Xiao Zhao frowned, held up his binoculars, and whispered a reminder.
"Brother Han, there are two zombies in the woods?"
"Um?"
Han Shuo let out a soft exclamation and quickly shifted his gaze in that direction.
The next moment, he saw the two zombies instinctively rush towards the three people beside the fire.
Then, something happened that completely surprised him.
Suddenly, the woman looked nervous, gripping her wooden stick and hastily retreating to the side, while the two men picked up their machetes and charged forward to meet her attack.
To his surprise, the two men didn't finish off the zombie with a single blow. Instead, they scrambled and struggled for a while before finally gripping their knives with trembling hands and beheading the zombie one after another.
"Well……"
The fat man shrugged and gave a disdainful look.
"These three are really hopeless. Three years have passed, and they're still so terrified of zombies?"
Indeed, Han Shuo had the same thought.
Logically, the ordinary survivors who have made it this far should have already adapted to this post-apocalyptic environment.
In this situation, an ordinary zombie could be easily killed by almost anyone with a weapon. Even if they couldn't overcome their fear, they shouldn't be in such a flustered state.
This feeling was as if these three people were experiencing the apocalypse for the first time and fighting zombies for the first time.
...
Next, Han Shuo and the others curiously observed the scene for a while longer.
After dealing with the zombies, the two men led the woman back to the fire to continue roasting the nearly cooked lamb.
However, upon discovering the two zombies, the three of them looked much paler, glancing around nervously and constantly on guard against their surroundings.
I'm scared, scared, scared, really scared...
Han Shuo couldn't help but think of this word. He even felt that if the meal hadn't been almost ready, the three of them would have already fled in fear.
"Is it really necessary to be so cowardly?" The fat man smacked his lips and muttered to himself.
...
Unfortunately, the three of them seemed to have bad luck today. Just a minute later, zombies wandered through the woods again.
This time, a total of six zombies appeared.
The younger man turned pale with fright upon seeing this, grabbed the woman, and turned to run. In their panic, the two of them actually performed a double tumble on the spot.
As for the older, taller man, he also looked fearful. Although his hands were trembling, he mustered his courage and gripped the machete tightly.
He wanted to buy his companions time to escape into the submarine!
Seeing this, Xiao Zhao touched the sniper rifle on his body with his right hand and turned to look at Han Shuo.
He knew that it was already difficult for the three of them to kill two zombies, and the six that appeared later would definitely take their lives.
Since the two had met by chance, he decided to offer his help.
Han Shuo nodded, which was taken as agreement.
"Save them!"
