blood plague

Chapter 68 Not a good sign (ask for collection and ticket)

Today, Iger and Joanna chose to cross the lake and go upstream along another small stream.

In the early morning, the morning fog in the woods has not receded, maybe it is not a good idea to walk through the forest at this time.

So, Iger and Joanna walked aimlessly along the edge of the woods.

Today's luck is not as good as yesterday. Maybe the animals are still sleeping late. Anyway, I didn't even see a rabbit or squirrel along the way.

Time passed, and the two had already rested three times, but they were still empty-handed.

"Hey. What time is it?" Joanna asked. "I think it's time to go back."

Iger looked at his watch and said, "The time is now 11:31." Iger pointed forward and said, "See the top of the mountain ahead? Let's climb up and then turn back."

"Good idea. It doesn't look too far away." Joanna nodded in agreement.

After the two rested for a while, they launched a final charge towards the top of the mountain not far ahead.

"Huh, it's really cool."

The wind on the mountain is very strong, giving people a cool and comfortable feeling.Standing on the top of the mountain, the view is very good. When you look back, you can see the lake not far away.It felt like I had been walking for a long time, but when I climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw the camp was right in front of me, and Joanna even saw the off-road vehicle clearly.

Really boring.

In fact, hunting is not about going farther than anyone else. More often than not, hunting is going in circles within a certain range, and whoever is rushing forward.

Joanna stretched, she put her hands around her mouth, and was about to shout something, but Iger pulled her down and squatted down.

"Look there." Iger pointed at Joanna.

Joanna followed Iger's fingers and saw nothing.

"What are you looking at?" Joanna asked Iger suspiciously.

Iger pointed to the front and said patiently: "Did you see the three pine trees in the distance?"

Joanna followed the guidance, she nodded and said, "I see."

Iger continued: "To the left of the three pine trees, what do you see?"

Joanna frowned and looked hard. Her eyesight was fine, and she was confident that Iger could see, and she could see it too.

After a while, Joanna said uncertainly, "A big rock?"

"Yes." Iger said, "But it's not a rock, it's a bear."

"Huh?" Joanna took a closer look again, no matter how you looked at it, it was a stone.

Suddenly, the stone moved, and it raised its head, and it turned out to be a very big bear.

"Are you sure?" Joanna asked Iger nervously.

"What?" Iger didn't respond immediately.

Joanna repeated to Iger: "Are you sure?"

This time Iger finally understood. He pointed to the bear and said, "You asked me to hit it?"

"Yes." Joanna was a little strange, isn't this obvious.

Iger smiled wryly, miss, you think highly of me.

Let's say that the distance is at least 300 meters, which is far beyond the range of the AR-7 in hand, and the .22 bullet may not be able to penetrate the bear's skull, unless there is another miraculous scene when the deer is shot, the bullet just comes from Eye shot in.

Miracles wouldn't be called miracles if they happened often.

Of course, Iger also has an M17. Its 9mm bullet is more powerful, but the range of the pistol is shorter, and it is generally recommended to use it within 20 meters.

So Iger wants to use the M17 to hit the bear. The only way is to walk towards the bear in a chic way. After reaching 20 meters, quickly empty the magazine towards the bear's head. Anyway, you will die or I will die.

Just kidding, neither AR-7 nor M17 can be used against such a behemoth.

If you want to hunt bears, the firearm must have a certain lethality. The M7.62 on the church bell tower that uses 70 bullets will do.

Of course, hunting bears with the M70 is purely desperate. If you can't bring it down with the first shot, the probability of being killed by the bear is also very high.

Shotguns are powerful enough, but steel balls have little effect on an animal of this size unless you can hit it right in the face.

In any case, this bear is not something Iger and Joanna can try now.

"Have you seen enough? Let's go when you've seen enough." Iger was tired from squatting, patted Joanna, and slowly retreated.

At this time, Joanna suddenly said, "Look over there."

?

******
When Iger and Joanna returned to camp, Fran and Erica had been waiting for a long time.

Their harvest was good today, and they got a total of eight fat autumn rabbits.In fact, there are still quite a few rabbits there, but the principle of hunting is that you can't exhaust the water, and you have to save some for the next time.

Seeing that Iger and Joanna returned empty-handed, panting, Erica joked, "Hey, it seems that you have bad luck today."

Iger didn't answer. He walked to the off-road vehicle, opened the door, and threw the AR-7 into the back seat of the vehicle.

Later, Iger walked up to Fran and Erica and said, "There's a big guy. Erica, I need your gun."

"Big guy, how old is it?" Erica asked curiously when she lifted the AR-15 and handed it to Iger.

"Bear. There's a big bear," Joanna said excitedly.

Hunting, isn't it exciting to hunt such big guys?

Iger unloaded the gun's magazine and took a look. It was full and good.

At this time, Fran stood up, patted Iger's shoulder extremely rarely and said: "Okay, brother, you don't need to trouble that bear. We have gained enough this time, it is not worth taking the risk." Such a risk."

After loading the magazine, Iger said to Fran and Erica: "It's not as simple as a bear. Joanna and I saw the bear tear up a group of infected people."

Just now, Iger and Joanna saw a group of people wearing early autumn unlined clothes staggering from a distance. When Iger saw this scene, Iger's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the valley.

This is not a simple group of infected people, it should be called a wave of infected people, or a more familiar term called a wave of corpses.

The wave of infected people is the scariest thing in all zombie apocalypse.

After the outbreak of the blood plague, most of the infected people will stay in the place where they lived, and then they will spread out because of meaningless wandering around. This kind of irregular Brownian motion is not a big threat, but it can effectively reduce the infection rate of the infected people. density.

But if due to unknown reasons, infected people gather together to form a wave of infected people, this extremely large number of infected people can make all survivors flee.

One hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, even one hundred thousand, million...

At the end of this superposition, the infected on the entire continent combined into a boundless super group, they can sweep all the survivor strongholds on the continent, break through the survivor's fortress, and kill everyone.

You have to ask Iger why he knows so clearly, because he has played a weird game called "Plague Inc" before, and there is a zombie virus mode in it.

Here is a forest that does not touch the ground. Iger really wants to know where this group of infected people came from, and how they kept their formation in such a complex forest until they reached this position.

At this moment, Iger's heart sank to the bottom.
