Chapter 42 A Mountain Fire

Author: Cucumber mixed with lettuce

the next day.

Today's indoor temperature is one degree higher than yesterday. I tried to take out the thermometer attached to the wall and point it at the ground. The temperature suddenly seemed to rise. In order to prevent the indoor thermometer from exploding, I quickly took my hand and the thermometer back.

With such a high temperature, I wonder if the earth will turn into a fireball.

However, days of high temperatures have indeed set the earth on fire.



The fire was on the mountain where the reservoir is located.

It was precisely because we slept with the windows open at night that we could smell the burning smell in time.

The first thing I smelled was Fang Zhijiu. The windows on the first floor were opened wider, and some burnt plant ash drifted in.

He first knocked on the door of Lin Kai and his father's room. Jia Yang, me, and Tian Li were woken up. When we walked out of the door, we saw flames all over the mountain.

Although we really want to know the cause of the fire, the problem in front of us now is how to put out the fire. If we don't put out the fire, the entire mountain will burn down. The vegetation coverage on our mountain is very wide, and it will be burned down as soon as tomorrow morning.

We're down there.

We quickly put on our clothes and went out to check on the zombies.

Zombies don’t seem to be able to stand high temperatures either. Their activity has been very low recently. Previously we found that they were afraid of the violent sound of firecrackers. Recently we found that they are also afraid of high temperatures.

After seeing that there were no zombies around the wall, we ran out and the view became wider. At this time, the fire on the mountain had burned very hard. Starting from the reservoir halfway up the mountain, the flames jumped very high and very big.

When we looked up, the orange light of the flames shone on our faces, like the light of the setting sun or the light of hell.

Lin Kai and his father went to wake up the villagers and the group of five. Some villagers just shouted, "It's over! It's over! God is going to kill us! It's really the end!"

Fang Zhijiu and Jia Yang reacted first and told everyone to quickly go to the mountain with shovels and axes.

This time we are not going to blow out zombies' heads, but to chop down trees.

Jia Yang observed the wind direction, which is now easterly, so we still have the opportunity to cut down the trees halfway up the mountain to prevent the trees below the halfway point from being burned.

With the light of the flames, the mountain road was much easier to walk. There were more than 20 of us walking up the mountain with tools in hand. We also carried some buckets.

As we walked up the mountain, heat waves hit us one after another. I had gone to a steam room with a temperature of over 50 degrees Celsius before, and now this heat wave was only higher than the temperature then, not lower.

The joints ached due to the hot temperature.

Now we have arrived at the reservoir, and we can see the fire not far away, burning constantly, and making crackling sounds among the branches.

I wonder if our strenuous activities attracted zombies. Two zombies followed us up the mountain, but they did not walk particularly fast because of the high temperature. Like the zombies I met on the mountain before, they were both skinny and skinny, and their bodies seemed to be exerting force.

can be broken.

Two of the five people had dealt with zombies many times. Two of them ran forward to make bait but did not let the two zombies catch them. The other three skillfully grabbed the zombies, as if they were escorting prisoners.

He put the zombie's hands behind his back to prevent the zombie from biting him, and then the other two people grabbed the zombie's feet together and threw the zombie into the fire not far away.

The five-person group seemed to feel the extremely high temperature. After returning, they covered their mouths and noses and jumped into the reservoir. Then they got up from the reservoir. Their bodies were surrounded by a circle of water vapor due to the high temperature, just like the bamboo forest in the ancient Hong Kong ghost movies.

Imp.

After the zombies were thrown into the fire, their bodies began to burn instantly. They struggled to escape from the sea of ​​​​fire, but they were "entangled" in the fire and could not escape. They walked a few steps and fell to their knees, and their throats let out a final roar.

, the sound was harsh and shrill.

We gathered around the fire, just like primitive people, using the witchcraft of a certain tribe to "punish" the sinners, zombies.

I turned my back, not wanting to see such a tragic "death" situation. Although zombies are no longer our kind, not long ago, they were still living people... But how can I be better? I also smashed it.

Lots of zombie heads.

Lin Kai clicked his tongue a few times and sighed: "The method is too vicious."

After hearing this, the five-person group immediately turned around and stared at Lin Kai fiercely. They seemed to be afraid of Lin Kai's "identity" and did not dare to respond to Lin Kai.

After Fang Zhijiu noticed their eyes, his eyes changed from cold to hawk-like.

The five-person group was no longer arrogant.

Fang Zhijiu was worthy of being the captain of the rescue team. He quickly laid out the location for cutting down the big trees. He asked everyone to start cutting down the bamboos next to them. There were still some big trees that couldn't be cut down for a while, so Tian Li and I kept pouring water to keep them wet.

Jia Yang was cutting bamboo while observing the wind direction.

But our speed couldn't keep up with the burning speed of the fire. We kept repeating the previous actions, and sweat kept falling from our bodies.

Everyone could hardly bear the high temperature. In addition to the trees, we also kept pouring water on everyone to cool them down.

But after splashing water, the surrounding fog became heavier.

This forest was like a joyful place for fires. They burned wantonly, and countless bamboos were burned. The bamboos made crackling sounds after being burned. I was so tired that I felt faint, and in a daze, I seemed to hear the wailing sounds of other animals.

I asked Jia Yang: "Is it a zombie?"

"It should be a wild boar." Jia Yang's sweat kept sliding down his face, and his hair was soaked.

It had been almost three months since I had a haircut, and Jia Yang’s hair had become very long. I handed Jia Yang the black rubber band I carried with me and asked Jia Yang to tie up his hair.

After his vision became clear, Jia Yang shouted: "Run!" He was about to pull me away.

At this time, the fire in front of me made a loud "bah, bah, bah" sound due to burning, and the wind direction changed!

The big tree in front has been ignited, and a large number of branches on the big tree began to burn, were scorched, and then fell downwards.

Some branches fell beside me, and I instinctively tried to block it with my elbow. A burning branch fell on my arm, and some small branches and leaves fell beside it.

There were a lot of dead leaves on the ground, which were instantly ignited, but because we just poured a lot of water here, it didn't cause a large-scale burning here.

Jia Yang grabbed my other wrist, and suddenly I shook the bucket out of my hand.

He immediately took me away and ran away. Looking back, I could only see the huge branches of the big tree starting to burn, and the sound of the branches cracking was the painful groan of the big tree.

At this moment, I felt pain in my elbow.

Turning around, everyone was desperately cutting down trees to prevent the fire from becoming wider and more intense...
