Chapter 14 Corpse Transformation Crow

The next morning, at daybreak, the villagers gathered in the farmyard. There were about twenty of them, and 90% of them were disabled.

Long Yilan walked out the door and stretched lazily. Her long golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight. She put her hands in her pockets, leaned against the door frame, and raised her eyebrows: "Five people in a group, run around the whole village, take a two-hour break at noon, and go out to kill zombies in the afternoon."

"Those who have a lame leg and cannot run, have to finish the mission even if they walk slowly. Those who have no hands to hold weapons, go and keep sentry for those who have hands."

After giving the order, she pointed to a few people and said, "Those who are in good health and can run and jump, follow them. Be careful and don't get bit by the zombies. If there is one person missing when we come back at night, don't come back either. Let's die outside together."

No one objected. They lowered their heads, supported each other and started to carry out the mission. Even the only child, Xiaoyi, followed the adults obediently. She had a firm look in her eyes and took small steps, but she insisted on running.

Watching their receding backs, Jiang Yunqi handed over two packets of biscuits: "You're pretty good to them."

"Their food is pretty good." Long Yilan didn't refuse and tore open the bag. It was scallion-flavored soda biscuits. She chewed it twice and felt a little dry and choked in her throat. "Well, I can't protect them forever. There's a good saying here: It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

"What other plans do you have?" Jiang Yunqi squeezed open a bottle of water, "Have a drink of water to smooth things over."

Long Yilan was not polite and drank two sips of mineral water from his hand. Hearing Jiang Yunqi's question, she looked up and asked back: "Is he definitely following you, or do you say that you don't want me anymore because you have a new team member?"

This was a joke, Jiang Yunqi shook his head: "I didn't want you anymore."

"That's it." Long Yilan finished a bag of biscuits in no time, "Two days ago, I met a girl with a little boy. She told me that if you want to enter the Meicheng base, one person needs two kilograms of rice and two kilograms of flour. If there are no supplies, you need ten crystal cores."

"The village is not safe. They can't stay here forever. It's better to go to a large base."

Jiang Yunqi: "So you went to help search for supplies?"

Long Yilan: "How many supplies can be left in this broken place? Not enough. We can only rely on collecting crystal cores."

"We still need thirty or forty."

The two people's casual chat was overheard.

One turned around and left quietly with a cane, and the other had an inexplicable look, with a faint dark light flashing in his phoenix eyes.

After lunch break, Tang Yizhao collapsed on the mahogany bench, holding a storybook that he didn't know where he got from, and reading it with relish.

Chu Wanyue saw Jiang Yunqi and Long Yilan going out from the corner of her eye, and then turned her head to look at the man who had been emitting low pressure since morning, and asked: "Captain, how many days will we stay here?"

In the morning, she asked around with the photo, but no one had seen the handsome boy.

The clue was broken again, and they could return to the base this afternoon.

Gu Bingchen stared at the door for a long time, then answered irrelevantly: "I remember there was another bus."

He asked again: "How much did we rent before?"

Chu Wanyue was stunned for a moment: "The rent is calculated based on the number of people and the duration. All the buses recorded in the register have been sold to the base or rented out. There should be only one minibus left. Can you see the space?"

Gu Bingchen's mental power is A. The space is very large. The flat area is much larger than a standard football field. The height should be about five meters. The items are neatly stacked and arranged in an orderly manner. In addition to the black SUV they often drive, there are also several sedans and SUVs.

Found it.

A somewhat shabby minibus was piled in the corner. The space inside the car was not wasted, it was all stuffed with supplies. Gu Bingchen frowned and spent a few minutes moving the supplies out, then came to the yard and released the car.

Tang Yichao heard the noise, put down his book, and ran out to see.

"It's just right, you go up and try to see if it can still be driven." Gu Bingchen pointed at the minibus, the door was open, "The key is stuck in it."

"..." Tang Yichao was dumbfounded for a few seconds, what the hell? He was caught as a coolie again, he should have known not to come out!

He reluctantly went up, twisted the key, turned the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and the minibus drove out of the yard.

Tang Yichao opened the window on the passenger seat and stuck his head out. His curly hair was messed up by the wind. He shouted, "Brother, there is no problem with this car. We can drive it! But the fuel is running low."

Gu Bingchen looked at the space again. Hiss, the fuel stored in the space was also running out.

It seemed that he had to find a gas station to search.

"Wanyue, look at the map. Where are the gas stations nearby?" Gu Bingchen asked Tang Yichao to get out of the car, and then put the car back into the space. He was thinking about how to negotiate a deal with Jiang Yunqi in the evening.

Chu Wanyue took out her tablet. Before she was completely disconnected from the Internet, she downloaded a lot of maps. She skillfully opened a certain software, zoomed in on the map, and circled a few gas stations in a colorful field.

"Captain, I think the bombing at that time should have destroyed most of the gas stations. The remaining few are in the suburbs and may have been less affected. According to the route, here and this one are two places you can take a look at. Oh, by the way, there is also a small gas station three kilometers away from this village."

Gu Bingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and took the tablet: "Okay, let's set off tomorrow morning."

...

The little girl sat paralyzed on the ground with her legs spread apart. She was shaking all over, holding the sickle tightly in her palm, gasping for breath, her heart pounding, and her cheeks, neck, shoulders, and clothes were stained with a lot of dark red blood.

Only one meter away from her, there lay a corpse of a crow, its neck and head separated, thick blood dripping onto the dusty ground, emitting a strong stench.

The story began half an hour ago.

"Xiaoyi, it's too dangerous to go out, why don't you stay at Miss Long's place?" Cui Jingping squatted, touched Xiaoyi's hair, looked her in the eye, and talked to her seriously.

Xiaoyi shook her head, her attitude was very firm: "No, Uncle Ping, I want to grow up, I want to become stronger, I want to protect you."

Cui Jingping subconsciously said: "We don't need to..."

He thought of something, swallowed the rest of the words, and took a small step back: "Okay, but you have to stay with us, you can't run around, okay?"

"Yeah, I will follow you closely." Xiaoyi's big round eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly.

"So good." Cui Jingping took out a small sickle and stuffed it into Xiaoyi's hand, carefully reminding her what she should pay attention to, "When you fight a zombie, you must cut the neck. Without the head, it is completely dead. You must be careful not to be caught by it. The zombie's saliva and blood carry viruses."

He led Xiaoyi to the gathering, lowered his head, and told her everything he knew.

There were no zombies in the village, but there were still some zombies scattered around the village entrance.

Fifteen people, five people in each group, a total of three groups. Cui Zhan, Cui Jingping, and a woman named Cui Xiuyun were the ones who were not seriously injured in the bombing. They followed a team respectively to ensure their safety.

What they didn't know was that there were two powerful people following behind them.

Xiaoyi was in Cui Xiuyun's group.

It was difficult for the villagers to kill a zombie by their own strength, but unity is strength. If they work together, they can kill the zombies.

Xiaoyi is still young, and as adults, they will not ask her to help. Cui Xiuyun took out a pair of gloves, helped her put them on carefully, and then said to her: "Xiaoyi, why don't you help us dig the crystal cores?"

"Okay." Xiaoyi nodded obediently.

Cui Xiuyun smiled faintly on her pretty face and demonstrated in person: "Use this small shovel to dig out the things inside. If there is a milky white crystal, like this, pick it up and put it in this bucket."

"Do you understand?"

Xiaoyi was eager to try, and hurriedly said: "I understand, I know what to do."

The bones of the skull are very hard, and it is difficult for a little girl like Xiaoyi to break them open no matter how hard she tries. So, Cui Xiuyun paid attention to the safety of others while holding a hammer and hitting the target accurately. A little tail followed behind her, grunting and digging things.

The fading sun was like blood, and the setting sun fell on everyone, as if covering a layer of golden veil.

Compared to the adults who fought bloody battles, Xiaoyi, who dug crystal cores, was even dirtier. The red, yellow, and black liquids were so sticky that they stuck to her gloves, and her original color could not be seen.

Cui Xiuyun said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, you are like a little cat now." Xiaoyi

proudly puffed up her chest. The little cat was not as capable as she was. In one afternoon, she dug out twenty crystal cores!

"You are really amazing!" Cui Xiuyun led people back to the village and sent Xiaoyi home first. "Xiaoyi, just wipe it first, I will be back later."

"Okay."

Xiaoyi's family was bitten to death by zombies in the end of the world. She and Cui Xiuyun usually lived together in a one-story bungalow with a relatively large space.

Cui Xiuyun was in a hurry to send the crystal core to Long Yilan, so she did not go into the room to check before letting Xiaoyi in.

No one knows that the squares with locked doors and windows usually hide invisible dangers.

Xiaoyi was about to take off her smelly and dirty clothes when she suddenly had a bad premonition. She bent down and immediately picked up the sickle thrown on the ground and blocked it in front of her. She stepped back quickly, wanting to open the door and run out.

But the sound of bird wings flapping came from the side, and Xiaoyi immediately lowered her head to avoid the sharp claws.

She looked up and saw a corpse of a crow, with black feathers falling to the ground, sharp claws, and reddish-brown marks on its beak, which must be the color of dried blood.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the crow turned and landed on the refrigerator, staring at Xiaoyi greedily with dark red pupils, and its sharp claws tore the cloth covering the refrigerator.

Xiaoyi leaned against the door, holding the sickle in both hands, thinking about escaping like this.

The crow gathered its strength and flew towards Xiaoyi, its claws heading straight for Xiaoyi's face.

She raised the sickle and chopped it down, hitting the crow's claws, but the crow was unscathed and attacked more fiercely.

Xiaoyi gritted her teeth, quickly found the right opportunity, pulled the bolt, and quickly escaped, shouting for help while swinging the sickle to prevent the crow from approaching.

I don't know if the crow was too anxious or her luck was too good, the sickle that was swinging randomly happened to hit the crow's neck, and Xiaoyi exerted force, and the crow's body and hands separated.

She lost all her strength in an instant, fell down, and sat on the ground, still in shock.

The adults who heard the cry for help came and just witnessed the thrilling scene.
