Chapter 297: The Jungle Border



When the first Guy raised his gun and aimed at them, Tang Er raised his hand to stop one of the Guys and shouted, "Bend down and run!"

"No need." Bai Liu looked towards the end of the mist. "The space here has been closely connected since we came in, and now it has been completely closely connected. We can't escape."

Tang Er looked in the direction Bai Liu was looking, his expression stiffened.

At the end of the fog, they could vaguely see a signpost with a fresh bullet hole on it, which was shot by Tang Er just now. Next to the signpost stood three figures, two big and one small, and they were them.

"It seems that we need to decipher the code to get out of here." Bai Liu turned to look at the zombie brides who were approaching, "Tang Erda, you hold on for a while."

Tang Er raised his hand and swept the guns of two zombie brides, then grabbed the gun of the third zombie bride, turned around and pointed it at the opponent's mouth and fired two shots. After his face was splattered with blood, he turned around and asked Bai Liu behind him: "What's the puzzle here?"

Bai Liu pointed to the road sign next to him and said, "This is it."

"What kind of puzzle is this?" Tang Er asked in confusion after breaking Guy's neck and wiping the blood off his face.

Bai Liu's gaze stopped on the road sign. There were eight signposts on it, pointing to the recruit station, the tavern, the training camp, the town exit, the registration office, the train station, the battlefield direction and the cemetery.

Liu Jiayi quickly scanned the sign: "It says it's an address, but no matter where you go, you'll end up back where you started. It must be a special route to get out."

"But there are too many routes that can be combined with eight pointers." Liu Jiayi frowned and looked at Bai Liu, "Do you have any clues that can be used as hints?"

Bai Liu glanced at Guy who was struggling with Tang Er and said, "Hasn't the clue been given to us?"

Liu Jiayi turned around and looked at these Guys: "These Guys are zombies, buried corpses, they came from the cemetery!"

"Yes, this group of Guys came from the cemetery and passed through this ghost wall." Bai Liu's eyes returned to the road sign. "Since this group of Guys who have become zombies can pass through this barrier, it means that this route is very familiar to him. Even after he died and became a zombie, he could subconsciously walk out of it."

Liu Jiayi had been staying at the Red Cross Society and was not familiar with the NPC Guy. After hearing Bai Liu's analysis, she simply said: "I don't understand this thing. I'll help Tang Er fight it. Please hurry up and figure it out."

After saying that, Liu Jiayi rushed to Tang Erda with two bottles of antidote and kicked away a gun that was coming from behind him.

The gun went off accidentally, Bai Liu dodged to the side, but his eyes remained fixed on the indicator.

If the seven days of war were a cycle, then these dead Guys should have remembered the path they had walked here when they were alive. But Guy defected on the second day, so he should have remembered the path he had walked on the first day.

And Guy was with him all the time that day.

They met Guy at - Bai Liu moved his eyes and looked at the first signpost: "The first one is the direction of the battlefield."

Tang Erda had already collected all the monsters' guns. He lifted Liu Jiayi's shoulders with both hands, ran two steps towards the battlefield, turned around and said hoarsely: "Then what? Bai Liu, these zombies are getting more and more, hurry up!"

Bai Liu fluently reported the following addresses: "The second place is the train station, the third is the registration office, the fourth is the new recruits' station, the fifth is a tavern, and the sixth is the training camp."

Tang Er asked urgently: "Where are the seventh and eighth?"

Bai Liu's eyes swept back and forth between the [town exit] and the [cemetery] twice. He had never been to these two places with Guy, so he was not sure in which order.

But these are all corpses, and the final destination of the corpses should be the cemetery.

Bai Liu was silent for only a second before continuing, "The seventh one is the town exit, and the eighth one is the cemetery."

Tang Erda stepped in the direction of the cemetery, then looked at the motionless mist behind him and looked at Bai Liu in confusion: "Why didn't you react? Did I go the wrong way just now?"

He did not doubt that Bai Liu's judgment was wrong.

Liu Jiayi pulled away Tang Erda's hands that were holding her. He ran so fast that she was dizzy and had no time to persuade him to stop. Only when he was put down did she say speechlessly: "You are going the wrong way. These Guys came from the cemetery. We should go backwards from the direction of the cemetery."

Tang Erda: "..."

Tang Er was stunned and looked at Bai Liu in disbelief: "But Bai Liu is thinking..."

Bai Liu smiled innocently at him: "I thought you knew to walk backwards, that's easy to guess."

Tang Erda: "..."

"I told you that Bai Liu was just kidding, you believed him?" Liu Jiayi shook her hands impatiently, "Let's go, you idiot."

It was indeed very easy to walk out by walking backwards. Bai Liu pushed away the mist in front of him, and there was another figure in front of him.

Tang Er consciously pulled out his revolver to attack the figure, but when he was halfway through, a black whip suddenly came out of the mist and swung at him at an extremely fast speed. Tang Er didn't even have time to pull his hand away before the whip hit him hard on the back of his hand.

This familiar weapon and the pain of the whip... Tang Erda retracted his skill weapon and asked tentatively: "Spade?"

Heitao walked out of the mist, holding a whip in his left hand. He glanced at Tang Erda coldly and said, "Didn't I tell you not to use a gun casually?"

Tang Er couldn't help but yelled "= =".

Why can Spade say such an outrageous request as not allowing others to use his own skills and weapons in such a righteous tone?

Bai Liu glanced at Hei Tao calmly and said, "Don't hit my team members casually."

Heitao said "oh" and immediately turned to Tang Erda and said, "I'm sorry."

Liu Jiayi muttered in disapproval, "Just say sorry and that's it?"

Heitao looked at Liu Jiayi calmly, raised his hand and hit the back of his hand with the whip without hesitation, and asked: "Is it over now?"

Liu Jiayi: “…”

Tang Erda: "..."

Why would this person be so serious about an eight-year-old girl, and in such a childish way...

Seeing that Heitao was serious and ready to argue with Liu Jiayi to the end, Bai Liu had to stop him: "Okay, what clues have you found?"

Heitao then turned to look at Bai Liu: "I found a woman in the cemetery."

"Woman?" Bai Liu raised his voice slightly, "Who?"

Spade looked directly at Bai Liu: "Alex's former fiancée."

Hei Tao led Bai Liu and his group through the thick fog and arrived at a brand new town.

It would be more appropriate to say that it is a brand new town or, less appropriate, a completely old town.

The once bustling border town was now filled with old dust. The wooden signposts were shaky and the words on them had long since decayed and become illegible. The stacked tents of the training camp were buried under many old industrial buildings, and the shelf at the door where the registration forms were placed had long since rusted and been thrown aside.

The tavern was nowhere to be found.

Where the tavern was was a grocery store that had long been closed, with the closing date written as thirty years ago.

The ground was littered with scraps of paper, billboard plastic, and some fragments of vinyl CDs.

Bai Liu turned around and found that the lush rainforest that was once on that piece of land had disappeared, and in its place was a huge factory. Next to it was a tattered billboard that read "Tropical forest raw material producer, global log production base", and next to it was a smiling face of a lumberjack with the texture of an oil painting.

The gate of this factory, which claims to be the "world's largest log production base," was locked, and a sign hanging on the door showed that it had been closed for a long time, which was about the same closing time as the grocery store.

Bai Liu withdrew his gaze, passed through the ruined town, and continued walking forward.

Passing through the town's exit and arriving at a long-abandoned cemetery, Heitao climbed over the rusty gate with familiarity and opened the door for Bailiu from the inside.

Bai Liu walked into the cemetery.

This is an extremely dilapidated and old cemetery. The marble monuments are covered with weeds and the cemetery is very messy. At first glance, it looks like a back garden that has not been taken care of for more than a decade. Crosses and tombstones are vaguely visible in the weeds.

But that's not the weirdest thing about this cemetery.

The strangest thing about this cemetery is that from the time Bai Liu entered the cemetery to the time he walked to the center of the cemetery, he carefully paid attention to the names of the dead on every cross and tombstone.

The time of death, black and white photos, and names of the deceased on all tombstones are arranged exactly the same.

All the graves in the cemetery are Guy Davis's graves.

Almost every tomb had been dug up. From the inside, one could vaguely see the coffins that were violently broken by the corpses that were rushed out, and the soil that was pushed out of the tombs and piled on both sides of the tombstones.

Walking through the empty cemetery and reaching the very edge of the corner, Bai Liu saw an old lady standing there holding a bouquet of flowers. She had her back to Bai Liu, and she bent down tremblingly and placed a bouquet of flowers and a wedding dress on a tombstone.

"Hello." Bai Liu called her softly, "May I ask who you are?"

She turned around, her cloudy eyes filled with tears: "I used to be the fiancée of that kid Alex."

"But that was fifty or sixty years ago." She waved her hands, wiped the dust off the tombstone, leaned on her waist, sighed, and sat down, muttering to herself, "But now he is just an old woman who cleans his tombstone."

Bai Liu half-knelt down and looked the old woman straight in the eye: "What's your name?"

"Iliana, just call me Iliana." The old woman looked back at Bai Liu, "Young man, who are you?"

Bai Liu said calmly: "You may not believe it, but I am Alex's comrade-in-arms."

"Comrade?" The old woman sneered. "Young man, I think you are even more confused than I am. The war has been over for more than 50 years. If you want to dream of becoming a war hero, why not change the war background to a more modern one?"
