poor road [end times]

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin approached the group of zombies very quickly, without giving the zombies time to react, they cut off their jaws one after another.

The zombies didn't feel pain, and still subconsciously bit the two of them.

——And the moment they stretched out their hands, they lost their fingers.

The foul-smelling blackened blood fell to the ground along with the rotten flesh and blood, falling on the ridge of the field.

Yang Yiqin kicked one of the zombies to the ground with his legs and feet. Feng Lin cooperated tacitly and took out a few iron rods, pierced through the zombie's chest, and nailed it to the field.

Afterwards, they followed suit and nailed the other zombies to the ground.

After dealing with these guys as quickly as possible, Yang Yiqin looked at Zhang Bo's position and waved at him.

Uncle Zhang nodded and gestured "OK" to him.

Yang Yiqin turned to Feng Lin: "It's safe, you can do it."

"Ok."

After speaking, Feng Lin took out a sharp dagger and cut open the zombie's knee joint.

Once the rotten skin was cut open, the pungent smell of rotten flesh became more intense. Yang Yiqin's excellent dynamic vision allowed him to see clearly the wriggling maggots that flashed past in the rotten flesh.Speaking of which, in winter, he rarely saw maggots drilling holes in the rotting flesh of zombies, and now it seemed that the season hadn't come yet.

There are already maggots in early spring, and the situation can be imagined in midsummer.

Last summer, the streets of the city were filled with rancid smells, and this summer the smell will only be worse.

Yang Yiqin didn't pay too much attention to the maggots in the rotten meat, but directed Feng Lin to cut open the joints and ligaments of the zombies repeatedly to observe their musculature and bones.

The end result is obvious.

There is a huge difference between these zombies and the real dead.

Human beings cannot compare zombies with dead bodies. Although the external skin and flesh of zombies have rotted to a certain extent, the muscle tissue and bone tissue have not completely rotted, and there is even a strange film covering the joints of the muscles, like a spider web. outside the texture.

This is probably why they are more flexible than last year.

After looking at the muscles of the zombie's limbs, Feng Lin used an ax to open the skulls of the zombies, and then used an iron rod to mix up their brains.

Fortunately, after the brains of these zombies were attacked by the virus, there were no unexpected changes—the flexibility of the limbs of the zombies increased, and humans could still think about countermeasures. Other ideas, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After checking his brain, Yang Yiqin had an idea: "Do you need to check the reproductive ability?"

Feng Lin: "..."

Yang Yiqin said with a smile: "Zombies should be gender-neutral, so it's not a big deal even if they are checked. But forget it, they don't have other behaviors other than eating for the time being, and there should be no such outrageous things as reproduction."

After dissecting the zombie, the two quickly ran back to the village.

Zhang Bo asked curiously: "How is it? What happened?"

Yang Yiqin told Uncle Zhang the conclusions they came to after dissecting the zombies.

After Zhang Bo listened, he frowned and said, "I hope the changes of the zombies are limited to this, otherwise it will be too difficult for humans."

Some time ago, they agreed that the village was on the right track, and they no longer needed to think about basic issues. They should change their personal way of life, adjust their living needs, and work together to move towards a new stage.

No one wants any unexpected changes at this juncture.

Yang Yiqin holds a relatively optimistic view on this: "At present, it seems that zombies have not evolved more excessively. I think no matter how they change, they should not exceed the scope of human beings, or they will always be worse than normal human beings."

Hearing this, Zhang Bo smiled wryly: "If zombies are superior to humans in all aspects, doesn't it mean that we are the ones that should be eliminated?"

Yang Yiqin doesn't think so: "As long as they have no intelligence and cannot reproduce, even if their physical ability is better than that of humans, they are just a group of monsters that have been castrated by nature."

Feng Lin said: "If nature can't castrate them, we can do it ourselves."

Zhang Bo laughed out loud.

"I thought Xiao Feng couldn't joke."

Feng Lin: "I'm not joking."

Zhang Bo: "..."

Today's young people are really powerful, whether it is courage or ideological realm, they are infinite.

Yang Yiqin looked serious: "The situation is special. We just simply judged the changes in the zombie's muscles, and did not conduct more detailed experimental research. If we really want to do that, we need to capture the zombies into the village and get the acceptance of the villagers. To this extent, we have given up on this approach.”

Zhang Bo was thoughtful, as if he was considering the possibility of capturing the zombies into the village.

"I don't think it's necessary anymore." Yang Yiqin planned Uncle Zhang's contemplation, "Since we have all discovered the mutation of the zombies, the major bases must have also discovered this. You can get first-hand information."

Feng Lin naturally agreed with this suggestion: "Professional matters are left to professional people. We only need to catch suspicious zombies and dismember them alive to check their muscles."

"I don't think it should be called 'living body' dismemberment." Zhang Bo felt that the word was strange just to hear it, "They can no longer be regarded as living people."

Feng Lin changed his words in an obedient manner: "The dead body is dismembered."

Zhang Bo: "..."

Yang Yiqin on the side smiled lightly: "Let's quickly tell Dad and the village chief the news."

Uncle Zhang nodded: "Okay, I'll contact a few of them now, let's sit together and have a small meeting."

They informed the village chief and others about the matter in detail.

Father Yang pondered for a moment, and decided to speed up the progress of the villagers' physical fitness.

In fact, after more than half a year of his supervision and training, many villagers are much stronger than before. The physical fitness of some uncles and aunts in their 50s is even comparable to young adults in their 30s.

On the other hand, among the survivors who entered the village later, except for some who often fought with zombies, most of them adopted the survival method of "living and hiding".Their running speed has gradually been tempered, and their movements to avoid damage are also quite agile, but their combat literacy is almost equivalent to zero.

Because of this, the two groups of people have their own characteristics, their learning progress is different, and even the degree of mastery of Wu Qinxi is quite different.

Father Yang often has to consider their differences in physical fitness and carry out targeted training.He doesn't ask every survivor to become an extremely powerful person, but only hopes that there will be no deviation when they use weapons to deal with slow-moving zombies.

If the zombies evolve, the training content must change accordingly.

Father Yang asked: "Have you not contacted Comrade Shimingming?"

"No." Yang Yiqin shook his head, "The signal is normal."

Father Yang pondered: "Until there is no news, we must not let our guard down."

"Uncle Yang, don't worry." Feng Lin promised seriously, "Qinqin and I will pay more attention to the zombies around the village recently."

Yang Yiqin also said: "We will try our best to avoid any uncontrollable incidents."

"Okay." Father Yang smiled, "I'll leave it to you."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin nodded at the same time.

At this moment, the village head said with a little worry: "Xiao Yang, when are you and Xiao Feng planning to return to the Beishi Survivor Base? I remember that when you just returned to the village, you said that you were only leaving the base temporarily. Are you sure?" After the situation of your father and your mother, you will consider going back..."

Hearing this, everyone else looked at Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin.

Father Yang's complex emotions are hidden deep in his seemingly calm eyes.

He knew that the two of them might leave, and he had no intention of stopping them, but the emotions of worry and reluctance were always out of control.

Zhang Bo said: "Xiao Yang and Xiao Feng have just become the leaders of our village, so they shouldn't leave so soon, right? If you leave at this juncture, the rules just established in the Sancun safety zone will collapse in an instant. Mostly."

They plan to use Yang Yiqin's cohesive force, and Yang Yiqin's and Feng Lin's extraordinary fighting power to make the Sancun Safety Zone the safest area nearby.Now the idea has only just begun, and the village desperately needs the help of the two of them.

It can even be said that the two of them are the central figures in the development of the village.

Looking back at the changes in the village before and after the two returned home, you will find that almost all events in the village have been related to them in the past few months.It is because of their advice and help that the village can communicate with the outside world, and the villagers can determine the future direction of survival.

When mentioning the return trip, Yang Yiqin said seriously: "We originally planned to consider going back after the spring of next year."

The village head asked: "What is the actual plan?"

"Just like what Zhang Bo said, we still need to guard the place here." Yang Yiqin said slowly, "I think at least we have to wait until the defense lines in the Sancun safety zone are all completed before considering leaving."

Feng Lin's eyes were calm: "Perhaps, you don't have to leave."

Yang Yiqin followed his words and continued: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. The completeness of the construction of the Beishi base is far beyond everyone's imagination. There are clear and mature rules and regulations in all aspects, and it can operate safely. I think, compared with there, here We need these two strong young men even more."

After finishing speaking, he bent his eyes and chuckled: "What does the village chief think?"

The village chief laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "I think it's feasible, we really need the abilities of the two of you."

If Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin leave, for Sancun Safety Zone, it will not be as simple as two young people leaving.The most intuitive loss is that they will lose nearly half of the combat power of the whole village.

Father Yang's eyes showed obvious emotional fluctuations.

"Aren't you leaving? That's fine, we also have a lot of things that you need to do here."

"But this is just Feng Lin and I's temporary thoughts." Yang Yiqin only said, "It depends on the situation. If the Beishi base needs to be done by the two of us, we will definitely still need to return, but in the end we will always return. In the village."

After all, there are their concerns here.

In Yang Yiqin's vision, after the zombies disappear from this earth, he will return to this farmyard with his loved ones, and slowly grow old with time.

Feng Lin said firmly: "Right now, we will stay at least until summer."

According to their plan last year, the Sancun Safety Zone will complete the construction of the village's outer circle of defense in the summer.In the process of building the defense line, everyone will harvest the barley planted last year and plant the new season's corn.

Corn seeds have been prepared long before.

"That's right." Yang Yiqin looked solemn, "And now that the zombies have undergone changes that are not conducive to humans, we cannot leave until we are sure that they are not a threat to the village."

Feng Lin quietly held Yang Yiqin's wrist as usual.

Father Yang was pleased.

His child finally grew up to be an independent person.

Responsible and responsible, courageous, tenacious and resolute, accompanied by an equally outstanding lover.

Although groups of zombies often ran along the wide road after the beginning of spring, they basically haunted the front village, and Yang village and back village were hardly disturbed.Therefore, under the organization of Yang Yiqin and others, the villagers started a new round of building barbed wire.

This time, the area to be fenced is larger, covering all the farmland between the three villages.

With the previous experience of enclosing the road, the villagers got started very quickly, and within two days they became familiar with and devoted themselves to this task.

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin continued the previous practice, finding available barbed wire from the surrounding factories, and continuously providing the village with materials for building the barbed wire wall to ensure the speed of building the barbed wire.Father Yang, Zhang Bo and others will build the wall while being alert to the dangers around them, and promptly deal with the dangerous factors within the line of sight to protect the safety of everyone.

The construction process used bulldozers and backhoes, and the heavy wheels would inevitably overwhelm the plants in the fields.

But everyone is not distressed.

—Because most of the plants in the field are weeds.

True, the barley they grew had a poor survival rate.

As early as last year when the blizzard came, an old farmer in the village began to worry, fearing that the wheat seeds he planted in a hurry would not be able to thrive.On the day when the snow melted out of the fields, this worry finally came true—more than half of the wheat fields had no sprouts.

Last year when corn was harvested and wheat seeds were sown, the village was far less safe than it is now, and zombies and mutated animals frightened people.Although seeders and harvesters were used, the final harvested and sown area was only a few tens of acres before the cold snap hit.

Now more than half of the wheat seeds in these dozens of acres of land have died, and the growth of the remaining wheat seedlings is also uneven...

The old farmer in the village sighed softly: "If we didn't get food from the grain depot, we might be hungrier than zombies this year. We must thank the national grain depot for its foresight."

Old farmers have rich experience in planting.

He believes that these wheat species that survived the cold must have undergone some kind of mutation like animals, and the ability to resist cold may be passed on to the next generation.With sufficient food resources in stockpiles, he hopes to use the mature barley as seeds and plant them in the ground in autumn to cultivate more cold-resistant barley.

No one knows what the climate will be like after the end of the world. Breeding new varieties of barley plants will be beneficial to the future of mankind.

Yang Yiqin made a note of this, and planned to give the seeds to Shi Shiming and others after the barley matured.

He originally planned that if the intercom equipment was still unavailable, he and Feng Lin would fly the helicopter to the safe zone and communicate with each other face to face.However, there are too many things that need to be busy recently, and there are always strong winds blowing from time to time, affecting the normal flight of the helicopter, so their actions can only be put on hold temporarily.

Coupled with the fact that the number of zombies attacking the village gradually decreased, Yang Yiqin had no choice but to put this matter behind the construction of the iron fence.

No matter what changes happened to the zombies, one defensive wall after another is always the thing that can bring the survivors the most safety.

Yang Yiqin planned to wait for the windy day to end before talking about looking for Han Wenliang himself.During this process, he did not give up using long-distance intercom equipment, and would try to contact the other party whenever he was free.

Finally, he still got in touch with Han Wenliang.

"Yang Yiqin?" Han Wenliang asked, "Where did it snow a while ago? Since it snowed, it has been difficult for our safety zone to receive signals from other places, and we can hardly send out our own messages, so we haven't been in time." Contact you."

Yang Yiqin replied briefly: "It has fallen. But now the snow has melted."

Han Wenliang knew that he was not a person looking for trouble for nothing, so he continued to ask: "Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

"It's more confusing than difficult."

"Puzzled?"

"Yes, we wondered if the same thing happened elsewhere."

Having said that, Yang Yiqin informed Han Wenliang of all the anomalies they discovered about the zombies.He also sorted out the results of his and Feng Lin's crude experiments on dissecting the zombies and told them to each other.

Hearing this, Han Wenliang was silent for a while.

Yang Yiqin was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Han Wenliang laughed: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that you would actually want to do the experiment yourself, it's a little too aggressive."

Yang Yiqin understood the deep meaning in his words.

"It seems that the same situation happened to you somewhere?"

"That's right, as soon as the blizzard stopped, the temperature immediately began to rise, and it rose above zero in two days. At the same time, the thawing zombies around the town were about to move and attacked our safe zone."

"Then how are you?"

"It's okay." Han Wenliang said, "There were no casualties."

Yang Yiqin pondered: "That's good."

Han Wenliang continued: "Although our safe zone is also established in the endless fields, because the original base area itself is a town, there are many villages close to the town. Before this, we have experienced several small zombie waves The attacks were all resolved without any risk."

"However, it's different this time. The zombies near the township safety zone have been dealt with. This batch of zombies came out of Xinzhong City..."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin frowned slightly: "The zombies near our village all came along the national road... According to our speculation, they should also come from Xinzhong City."

Han Wenliang was silent for a moment, and continued: "We found that the zombies were obviously more flexible than before, so we observed their running speed, and finally came to the same conclusion as you, that is, this batch of zombies probably underwent some kind of evolution. We didn't dare to waste time, and immediately tried to contact the person in charge of the provincial base, and reported our observations to him."

Yang Yiqin asked: "What do the people at the provincial base say?"

"According to the people at the provincial base, zombies across the country have the same trend at present—one is leaving the city in groups; the other is that their limbs have become flexible."

Yang Yiqin sighed softly: "This is not good news."

"Of course it's not good news." Han Wenliang said with difficulty, "It's better to say it's completely bad news."

In order to avoid the threat of zombies, human beings left densely populated urban areas in groups, and built survivor bases in the countryside and forests, built rules that suit their own conditions, and widely accepted nearby survivors...

It was not easy to get on the right track, but such an accident happened.

Yang Yiqin said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have made the right choice to speed up the construction of the second iron network."

"Very correct." Han Wenliang warned, "But you must pay attention to safety."

"Okay, we will pay attention. At present, the Sancun safe area will not usher in a large-scale zombie wave." Yang Yiqin quickly simulated the situation of zombies coming from the urban area in his mind, and said, "Our village is far away from the urban area. Even if there are groups of zombies heading south along the provincial road, a large number of them will leave and disperse along the way, and only a few sporadic teams will arrive in the end."

By the time those zombies gather in groups, their second line of defense should have been completed.

Han Wenliang was a little relieved: "We are also speeding up construction here recently. You just need to remember one thing: Once the safety zone is breached, you can either hide on the roof or hide underground. Then immediately ask us for help, and we will dispatch Helicopters to save people - of course, I hope that never happens."

"Well, thank you Team Han." Yang Yiqin said, "I will tell other people in the village."

Han Wenliang added: "Currently the reason for the change of the zombies is still being studied. Once there is any news from the Beishi base, I will inform you in time."

"sorry to bother you."

"What's the trouble? I just hope that this turmoil will pass as soon as possible."

After cutting off contact with Han Wenliang, Yang Yiqin non-stop found Feng Lin, Father Yang, the village chief and others who were busy, and told them what Han Wenliang said.

For a while, everyone fell into silence.

The village chief smiled bitterly: "Such a magical thing happened again... If this continues, are we going to save the earth?"

Yang Yiqin shook his head: "The appearance of zombies has never had any impact on the earth, not even the animals. The only ones who are really affected are us."

The earth does not need human beings to save it, it is far more powerful than they imagined.

Even if the ecosystem is completely destroyed overnight, the earth will give birth to another new ecosystem after millions of years.In the long history of the earth, there have been countless extinction events—from the well-known mass extinction of dinosaurs to various extinctions at the end of a certain era, none of which affected the earth itself, but only one or some species.

All this time, humans have only been saving themselves.
