Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1442: Thrilling! Wild boar zombies!
Southeast of Oil City, Dabie Mountains.

The forest was chilly and the moonlight shone through the dense trees onto a small slope halfway up the mountain.

The small slope was covered with a thick layer of soil, which was trampled very tightly. In the middle of the top, there was a steel chimney, which was slowly emitting white smoke.

In front of this small slope are six or seven big trees, with three ropes tied up around them to prevent ordinary zombies from approaching.

Below the small earthen slope is a wooden door made of thick round logs, and on the left and right sides of the door are lattice ventilation windows also made of wood.

There was a faint glow of fire inside.

Walking in, you will find that the inside has been hollowed out and the ground is sunken.

This is somewhat like a Hobbit's hut, but much more simple, and more like a shelter in the jungle at night.

However, although this shelter looks simple, its defense can at least block the attacks of a small number of ordinary zombies.

The inside of the shelter was much larger than it looked from the outside, about 20 square meters in size, with about a dozen people sparsely crowded inside.

This group of people were Xie Dongming and others who exchanged ultraviolet lamps from the trading market.

The biggest feature of their team is that most of its members were wilderness survival enthusiasts before the apocalypse, and some of them were even wilderness survival experts before the apocalypse.

The simple earth pit stove was well built, and the burning flames were dispersed through the chimney, with almost no flames staying in the shelter.

Everyone was eating cooked food. The walls of the pit on both sides were hung with all kinds of processed and smoked black meat.

"Brother Dongming, we have been in the Dabie Mountains for almost half a month. The wild animals we have captured and the wild plants we have dug are enough to sustain us for a while. Do you want to return to the trading market to rest?" Zhu Ziming said while eating the cooked root plants in his hand.

It has only been a few years since the apocalypse, but there are still many animals that have escaped the zombies' pursuit.

Especially in the primeval forest, ordinary zombies walk slowly and are easily stuck by vines in the primeval forest, which also gives many animals a chance to survive.

The Dabie Mountains are rich in resources, with many edible plants and animals.

But most ordinary people don’t know these plants and don’t know whether they are edible.

When faced with some animals, we don’t even know how to set traps to catch them.

On the contrary, those who were wilderness survival enthusiasts before the apocalypse are living a more comfortable life in the apocalypse.

Xie Dongming tore open the strip of meat in his hand. The smoked pheasant meat was dry. After being smoked and dried, it was dry. When he tore it open hard, a lot of powder flew away.

He did not answer Zhu Ziming's question immediately, but asked his wife next to him:
"How much food do we have now?"

Xie Dongming's wife thought about it carefully and replied:
"There are about 500 kilograms of pheasants, small civets, pangolins, and wild boars, and about 300 kilograms of edible plants."

"Half of them were hidden by Zihao and his men in our secret underground storage room in Xinxian County at the foot of the mountain."

"Ah."

After thinking for a while, Xie Dongming looked at Zhu Ziming and said:

"That's about right. If there are more, we probably won't be able to carry them down the mountain."

When everyone heard that Xie Dongming was planning to go down the mountain, happy smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

In the past half month, they went out with bows and spears to catch animals almost as soon as the sun came out. The women dug and collected edible plants in the mountains and forests, and smoked the large animals they caught.

They set up many traps, and the meat they caught was mainly from the two fat wild boars.

They processed more than 500 kilograms, and this was smoked and air-dried.

A three-pound pheasant will only weigh one pound after being smoked and air-dried.

A three to one ratio.

The smoked and air-dried meat not only reduces its volume and weight, making it easier to transport, but also prolongs its shelf life.

Although it doesn’t taste as good as fresh meat, it’s the end of the world now, and being able to preserve food conveniently and for a long time is the first key consideration.

"Brother Dongming, are we going back to the trading market tomorrow?" asked a man who looked less than 30 years old in the crowd.

Xie Dongming nodded. "Well, let's go down the mountain tomorrow. It will probably take a whole day to walk from here to the bottom of the mountain. Let's set off early tomorrow and try to reach Xinxian before the sun sets."

"Great!" The man took a big bite of the food in his mouth, imagining that he would sleep for a whole day and night after returning to the trading market.

Although they are used to living in the wild, they are always worried about the approach of zombies at night.

Although there are relatively few zombies in this forest, their occasional appearance outside the shelter is enough to make people nervous.

"Ziming, Wang Jing, and Sun Peng, the three of you will take turns on the night shift tonight." Xie Dongming instructed the three of them.

"Okay." The three nodded.

Xie Dongming looked at the others and said, "Everyone should rest early. We have to climb the mountain with these things tomorrow, which is not easy."

Everyone nodded, finished the food in their hands, and leaned against the earth wall behind them to rest.

Zhu Ziming and other two people took turns on duty, and Zhu Ziming was the first to take the shift.

He held a spear and a UV flashlight next to him.

They only used this ultraviolet flashlight once.

That was the first night they had just arrived in Xinxian County at the foot of the mountain after coming out of the trading market.

That night they were spending the night in a secret warehouse in Xin County. A wall-climbing zombie smelled them, came over, and violently banged on the door of the warehouse.

In the end, I turned on the ultraviolet lamp and scared away the wall-climbing zombie.

No one wants to fight wall-climbing zombies at close range at night.

Most ordinary people will have no choice but to die if they encounter wall-climbing zombies at night.

Wall-climbing zombies are extremely agile, have amazing jumping ability, and can crawl. Many times they appear behind you without you noticing, making them hard to guard against.

They have been reluctant to use up the battery in this ultraviolet flashlight, and they would never turn it on easily if they had not encountered wall-climbing zombies.

Once the battery runs out, they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat when facing the wall-climbing zombies, and they don’t know whether they can survive.

Time passes.

A quiet snoring sound came from within the small shelter.

After Zhu Ziming had been on duty for three hours, he stood up and walked inside.

"Sun Peng, wake up, it's your turn to keep watch."

Sun Peng's face was covered in dust and dirt. Perhaps it was because of the fire burning in the earthen stove in the shelter, which made him feel dry in the mouth and his lips were cracked and pale.

"Oh, good."

Sun Peng rubbed his face vigorously, trying to wake himself up.
He stood up, took the spear from Zhu Ziming's hand, and walked towards the wooden door of the shelter.

When he was a little sleepy and had just sat down on the wooden stake behind the wooden door in a daze, a clanging sound suddenly came from outside.

hiss!
In an instant, Sun Peng got goosebumps when he heard the voice.

"Something's happening!" he shouted loudly to everyone in the shelter.

Zhu Ziming, who had just sat down, immediately got up, took a crossbow and several arrows from the earth wall, and rushed to the door.

Everyone in the shelter woke up, but they didn't move.

When they built this shelter, in order to minimize the construction work, they used a semi-underground method.

The shelter is overall long and narrow in shape. There is only one door leading out of the shelter, and the width including the windows is only two meters.

If they move around, not only will they be unable to help, but they will also cause trouble for the people in front of them.

"Don't get up. I'll go over and take a look." Xie Dongming, who was in the center of the shelter, picked up the spear and hurried to the entrance of the shelter.

At this time, Zhu Ziming was holding a flashlight and shining it through the wooden grille to check the situation outside.

"Did you see what it was?" Xie Dongming asked nervously.

Zhu Ziming looked serious, shining the flashlight around. "I didn't see it, I don't know what it is."

Just at this moment, there was a sudden noise above their heads.

The dirt fell from above.

They first used a row of thick tree sticks to support the top, then covered it with a layer of waterproof cloth, laid a layer of leaves, and then laid a thick layer of excavated soil.

Even if people stand on it, it won't collapse.

But this movement is obviously much greater than the weight of a person.

"It broke through our rope and is above our heads!" Zhu Ziming said in horror.

Boom!
There was another loud bang overhead, and the supporting wood above made a cracking sound.

One of the supporting logs was broken by being stepped on.

"I'm afraid it's a big guy! I don't know if it's an animal zombie!" Xie Dongming's eyes were slightly cold.

Although there are relatively few zombies in the mountains and forests, you can occasionally encounter zombie animals. Encountering large zombie animals is the most troublesome.

The current situation is that the big guy above may be a brown bear weighing several hundred kilograms, or it may be a zombie brown bear.

If it was a brown bear weighing several hundred kilograms, they would be lucky. After dealing with the brown bear, they could get several hundred kilograms of meat again.

But if it’s a zombie brown bear weighing several hundred kilograms, that would be a big trouble!
They would rather not encounter brown bears and have no meat than encounter such emergencies at night.

tread!tread!tread!
Every step taken by the big guy above caused dirt to fall from above, and for a moment the entire shelter was filled with dust.

Boom!
Suddenly this big guy landed outside their shelter.

Zhu Ziming shone the light over there and saw a black creature with a full body of hair.

Judging from its size, it definitely weighs more than 250 kilograms.

"Black wild boar?" Zhu Ziming quickly handed the flashlight to Sun Peng beside him and drew his bow to shoot an arrow.

The wild boar slowly turned its head, and its long fangs and red pupils revealed that it was a wild boar zombie.

Hululu——

The zombie boar let out a low roar.

With its hind legs, it kicked the dirt on the ground, obviously intending to charge forward.

Whoosh!
Zhu Ziming closed one eye and aimed with the other. He pulled the compound crossbow in his hand back to the top and released it gently.

The arrow shot out from the wooden fence window.

Fly straight towards the head of the wild boar zombie.

歘!
Just then, this wild boar zombie launched an attack and rushed towards the wooden door.

Pfft!

The arrow feather penetrated very deeply into the wild boar's belly below its head.

Due to the movement of the zombie boar, the arrow that could have hit the target missed.

Wild boar zombies are the same as ordinary zombies. As long as there is no fatal damage to the head, they will not die if they attack other parts of the body.

After being hit by the arrow, the wild boar zombie was only delayed for one second, but it did not stop its attack.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ziming couldn't help but curse: "Fuck!"

So he quickly nocked his arrow again, ready to shoot again.

But it's too late!
"Back off. Back off!" Xie Dongming shouted, and at the same time pulled Zhu Ziming, who was drawing the bow and shooting arrows, back off.

The people inside quickly retreated to leave more space for the people at the door to retreat.

Just as they were retreating, the wooden door in front was rammed by the wild boar zombie.

Boom!

The wooden door did not fall down directly. After all, the lower part of the door was made of wooden stakes with a diameter of 40 to 50 centimeters, which were buried at a height of nearly half a meter.

This is also a solution that was thought up in consideration of the possibility of zombie attacks. It is rather troublesome to enter and exit each time, and one needs to climb out from above.

but!

The upper part of the door was not protected by soil and was directly knocked open by the wild boar zombie.

A huge pig head broke through the upper part of the wooden door. Its sharp and ferocious fangs almost pierced Sun Peng's neck and even tore his clothes.

After seeing the humans inside, the zombie boar became even more excited and tried hard to get inside.

The pig's head is huge.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Xie Dongming rushed towards the wild boar zombie without hesitation. He gathered all his strength, gripped the spear tightly with both hands, and stabbed it into the nostrils of the wild boar zombie.

The spear, nearly one meter long, was mostly invisible.

The wild boar zombie's head was pierced directly.

dead!
Xie Dongming checked the wild boar zombie and said to everyone:

"died!"

woohoo-

After hearing that the wild boar zombie was dead, Sun Peng quickly checked his neck and felt around. When he saw the small hole on his sleeve, he quickly took off his clothes and checked his arm.

"Help me take a look, help me take a look."

Zhu Ziming picked up a flashlight to help him check, but found no wounds.

"It's okay, you're lucky."

After hearing the words "it's okay", Sun Peng collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

The wild boar zombie's fangs were just a hair's breadth away from piercing him.

thrilling.

Aftermath.

It’s too thrilling!

Xie Dongming looked at the wooden door. The wild boar zombie was stuck in the gap of the door. It was difficult to move such a heavy wild boar zombie corpse.

The door is blocked!
"Brother Dongming, we have to find a way to get this wild boar zombie out, otherwise we won't be able to get out tomorrow." Zhu Ziming said with a frown.

After thinking for a while, Xie Dongming raised his head and looked at the dented wooden stick above his head.

He looked at the person behind him and asked, "What time is it now?"

"1: in the morning."

After thinking it over, Xie Dongming said to Zhu Ziming:
"No need to get it out. Get this wild boar zombie out through the crack in the door. You won't be able to push it open directly. It's stuck."

"We can only remove the wooden fence windows on both sides. But if we remove them, what if zombies or zombie animals approach us in the middle of the night? We also have to repair the door. It will take at least three hours to complete these tasks. And we have to take risks during this period."

"What should we do then?" Zhu Ziming asked.

Xie Dongming said calmly: "Just stay here and don't move. When it's daybreak, we'll tear down the roof and get out directly from above. We're going back to the trading market now, so this shelter is useless."

"Row."
