Chapter 38 Zombie Mutation

As we expected, the zombies have mutated.

We have been taking action to deal with future mutations of zombies, but our action speed is far unable to keep up with the speed of zombie mutation and evolution, nor can we keep up with the speed of weather changes.

Our original plan was to dig a canal next to the new wall and then divert water from the nearby creek into the canal.

Days of high temperatures caused the nearby river to evaporate, leaving only a few inches of water.

There are only twenty-two survivors left in the village. They need to dig ditches, raise walls, and plant fields... In addition, they need to guard against the attack of mutated zombies.

We always thought that zombies would eventually starve to death like humans because they had not eaten for a long time. However, we did not expect that they would shift their eating targets to animals. The dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese... all in the village became theirs.

food.

After eating, they become more violent, like drug addicts.

They seemed to know that we were hiding inside. They roared outside the bamboo wall and kept extending their hands. Several zombies seemed to have become conscious and wanted to knock down the bamboo wall.

Through the gaps in the bamboo wall, I could see that they had completely turned into skinny bones, with sunken eyes and red eyeballs.

Their vision seems to have recovered during this period of change.

I looked at the zombie again.

Its eyes instantly became crazy, and it kept grabbing at the bamboo wall. Due to the continuous exposure to the sun, the bamboo wall had lost its original toughness and became brittle.

I reacted quickly and pulled Tian Li away from me.

Today we originally planned to divert water from the nearby creek into the canal. Jiayang and the others were digging soil on the other side of the creek. I ran and shouted, "Hurry! The zombies are about to attack!".

When Jiayang and the others heard what I shouted, they quickly climbed up and went to get the "guy" who had fought the zombies before.

At this time, the leading zombie had broken through the bamboo wall just now and was in the ditch, preparing to climb the wall.

Jia Yang turned around and said to me: "Go to the reservoir quickly and bring the water here!"

In order to avoid accidentally drinking the water from the reservoir, we turned off the switch of the reservoir and replaced it with the water source from Nanshan in Shangtian Village.

If the water in the reservoir is turned on, there will be water in the ditch, and the zombies in the ditch will at least have some resistance, making it harder for them to climb out.

I ran towards the reservoir on the mountain, and Tian Li came from behind, "Sister Xiaoqi, I'll go with you!"

The mountain road during the day was much easier to walk than the mountain road at night, but my thighs climbed up faster and my legs were very sore, but I didn't dare to stop.

I don’t know how far the zombies in the village have evolved. I’ve seen zombies in other cities climbing walls on Weibo. They can climb up five or six-story buildings. After being pushed down by people in the building, they will not be able to survive at all.

If you can't fall to death, you will continue to climb up.

If they, like zombies in other cities, can keep "resurrecting" and climbing up, it will be a protracted battle. With the ditch, at least it can be delayed for some time.

Thinking like this, I kept running up the mountain, and Tian Li followed me without saying a word.

I don’t know how long it took, but I saw the reservoir not far away!

Fortunately, the water in the reservoir has not been evaporated to a large extent because it is blocked by leaves and stone slabs.

I went to turn the switch of the reservoir, but it couldn't be turned. It had not been repaired for a long time, and the switch was rusty. I shouted in the direction of Tian Li: "Lizi! Come on, help me turn it, I can't turn it."

"

Lizi was still running on the road not far away. After a while, she stopped beside me panting. She couldn't say a word. Before she was out of breath, she turned the switch with me.

Finally, the switch was turned and the water in the reservoir began to flow.

The two of us collapsed beside the reservoir. I looked up and could see the swaying branches. Some leaves were blown off the branches. Through the branches and leaves, I could see the blue sky and a large white cloud moving slowly.

.

The sounds around us became clearer, and the heartbeats of Tian Li and I became very clear, like the sound of drums, "dong dong, dong dong, dong dong". There was also the wind blowing through the leaves, and the "rustling" of the leaves falling on the ground.

Voice.

No, there was a "squeaking" sound of footsteps stepping on the leaves. I turned around to look at Tian Li. Tian Li looked at me and was about to smile at me, but I looked through Tian Li's face and saw the man standing not far away.

A zombie is coming towards us.

What's going on! The zombies followed us to the mountain! No! How can they go up the mountain now? Can't they not go up?!?

I looked around frantically and asked Tian Li to get up while searching.

Tian Li followed my gaze and saw the zombie. When she stood up, her feet were crooked. She stumbled and walked in my direction. I saw some rocks around me and said, "Quick, pick up the rocks and hit it on the head."

!”

The result is obvious, our accuracy is not high, and our strength is not enough, the zombies are not afraid of the stones we throw at all.

Tian Li shouted anxiously: "Sister Xiaoqi, what should I do?!"

There is a reservoir next to it. As long as the zombies run in our direction, we spread out to both sides and let the zombies fall into the reservoir. There may be a chance of survival.

"When the zombies come, we will retreat to both sides immediately!"

The zombies are about to encounter us. I am counting down "three, two, one"!

Very well, the zombie fell into the reservoir. The resistance of the water made it impossible for the zombie to come out immediately, but its hand was holding on to the stone slab above the reservoir. It was only a matter of time before it came out.

I picked up Tian Li and ran down the mountain immediately, with the wind whistling in my ears. Different from the last time I avoided zombies, I was more calm this time. Without Jia Yang beside me, I had to think of ways to avoid zombies on my own.

Not far after running out, there was another sound of running behind him, but it was obvious that the footsteps were much heavier than before. It seemed that the resistance of the water was still useful.

But the distance between us was not that far before, and Tian Li's ankle was sprained, so we couldn't run faster.

I kept looking back, getting closer and closer...

We could no longer take the stairs, so I took Tian Li to a path and shuttled between trees. Although the zombies have evolved, their ability to avoid obstacles is not that strong yet.

At this time, I felt that I had no strength at all, so I could only keep running between trees. The branches scratched my face, and blood oozed from my face. The leaves in front of me scratched my face again, leaving blood behind.

on the leaves.

The zombie smelled the smell of fresh blood, became more excited, and ran faster. Its fast running made it hit the big tree quickly, but it stood up faster and continued to run towards us.

Facing a large number of obstacles, it even turned into a crawling and running appearance...

Are you going to die here today?!
