Aurora Soldiers

Chapter 10 Choice
  "Golden Scale Garden is located in the southeast of Guangjiang City, more than fifty kilometers away from He'an Resort..."

If it were normal times, Zhang Chengguang would be absolutely sure that he could complete the journey and reach his destination in half a day, even if he was walking.

But now that the situation in the city is unclear, it is impossible for him to rush forward with all his strength, so he can only consider proceeding step by step, slowly and steadily.

His first destination was the small park a hundred meters north of the hiding place.

The vegetation there is dense, making it easy to hide, and there are multiple exits connecting the surrounding blocks, making it easier for him to explore the surrounding situation. If he encounters danger, he can also use the park as the center to tangle with monsters.

He looked out from the window and saw that the city was completely dark. For ordinary people, it was actually very dangerous to move forward in the dark in this environment. However, after many years of training, Zhang Chengguang's eyes were able to see at night. Although they were still affected by the darkness, But it is much beyond ordinary people.

To a certain extent, nighttime is his home turf.

The surroundings were quiet, no monsters were seen, and no corresponding movements were heard. The area near the Golden Scale Garden seemed to be no longer the area where monsters were focused on searching.

Or maybe the monsters are resting due to lack of movement at night?
  "I hope these ghosts don't have too strong night mobility capabilities."

After Zhang Chengguang determined that there were no hidden dangers around him, he quickly climbed down from the window sill to the ground. After climbing over the not-so-high wall of the community a few times, he quickly rushed towards an open cigarette shop across the street and confirmed that it was safe. , flashing into the darkness of the store.

The tobacco shop was in a mess at this time. The glass containers were smashed to pieces. All kinds of high-end liquor fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The pungent smell of alcohol lingered in the air, as well as a faint smell of blood.

Zhang Chengguang carefully avoided the drinks on the floor and did not go deep into the store to avoid being contaminated by the smell. He looked out from the corner of the store door and made sure that there was no danger before continuing.

He was hiding and moving forward. It took him nearly five minutes to reach the park at a distance of a hundred meters.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred, no monsters were encountered, and I don't know where the monsters that were everywhere in the morning went at this time.

After entering the park, he went directly into the green forest area.

In the past, the forest area looked very gloomy at night. Except for some greasy lovers who loved to get into it and do unspeakable things, ordinary people would not enter it at all. But now this darkness and gloominess are just right. It gave Zhang Chengguang a great sense of security.

In just half a day, humans have turned into street rats who can only feel at ease hiding in the dark.

"Using the cover of the green area, first determine the situation in the park, and then use the park as the center to explore the surrounding areas and find a way forward."

Zhang Chengguang's thinking was very clear and he immediately used the green area as a cover to explore the park.

He found many blood stains in the park, but did not see any bodies.

Zhang Chengguang also felt that something was not right. He had been walking around among the many villas in Jinlin Garden before. Although he saw a lot of shocking blood stains, he also never saw a corpse.

Along the way, it seems that all the corpses have been taken away by monsters. How do they deal with the corpses? As food? Or are there other uses?
  He continued to explore the park, and suddenly, his pupils contracted violently.

From a certain direction in the park, he actually saw a conspicuous fire coming from the darkness!
  "The lighter cannot ignite, and all chemical fuels seem to have failed. What makes the fire light, and what is the fuel?!"

Zhang Chengguang took a deep breath, his body trembling slightly.

The importance of fire to human beings is self-evident!

Human beings moved from wilderness to civilization because they ignited fire and found ways to control flames.

Even in today's technological age, the essence of all energy is linked to flame.

What is it that reignites the fire? !

Although Zhang Chengguang knew very well that the place where the fire was located had a high probability to be related to those monsters, he still couldn't stop his curiosity.     "Sneak over and see what's going on."

Zhang Chengguang made a decision in his mind. Although it might be dangerous, he felt that it was necessary to take this risk, and maybe he could learn some important secrets.

After all, fire is too important to human survival.

He slowed down his pace and tried not to make any noise. At the same time, he was alert to possible ambush and hidden whistles in the surrounding area, and slowly approached the direction of the fire along the forest area.

Not long after, he came to the area where the fire was, which was a small square in the park. There was a small sports and fitness area next to the square, with horizontal and parallel bars, walking machines, waist twisters and other leisure fitness equipment.

The fire came from the sports and fitness area of ​​this square.

Zhang Chengguang hid in the shadow of the trees nearby and could clearly see two sturdy purple-skinned monsters sitting on the ground. In front of them, a bonfire was burning.

What is surprising is that the fuel for this bonfire is very simple, even primitive.

Those are pieces of wood!

There was nothing special about these pieces of wood, and they did not seem to be dry firewood. They looked like they had just been cut from trees.

There was a simple grill made of tree branches on top of the bonfire, with a burnt human thigh skewered on a long piece of wood, which looked extremely scary.

The material for making a fire is actually wood? !
  The efficacy of chemical fuels has been drastically reduced and it is difficult to burn, but the simplest wood can still be ignited, and it seems to burn more vigorously than before. What is the principle of this? !

Zhang Chengguang's mind froze for a moment, and he opened his mouth. However, before he could think carefully, his eyes shifted and his attention was attracted by other things beside the campfire.

The bloody corpses were piled on top of each other. It was initially estimated that there were nearly ten corpses. The death state was extremely miserable.

Some heads were broken, some limbs were broken, and some were disemboweled. The fishy smell lingered around the square. People with poor psychological quality would probably have nightmares for several days after seeing this kind of scene.

What surprised Zhang Chengguang was that most of the corpses in the pile were male.

What concerned him even more was that there were three women hanging on the horizontal and parallel bars on the side.

All their clothes were stripped off, their hands were tied to the top of the horizontal bar, and their feet were tied to both ends of the horizontal bar. Cloth was stuffed in their mouths, their hair was messy and scattered, and there were bruises on Chi Guoguo's body. , hanging there is like pigs and sheep hanging on poles in a slaughterhouse to be slaughtered.

Through the messy hair, Zhang Chengguang could see that all three women still had their eyes open!

Even at a certain distance, he could still feel their eyes filled with intense fear and despair, their bodies still trembling slightly, and blood seeping from where their limbs were bound.

They are not dead, they are all alive.

"Men will be killed directly and their bodies will be collected by monsters, but women will be captured alive as much as possible?"

Zhang Chengguang took a deep breath. He remembered the young mother from the neighbor's house before. The little boy was thrown to death, but she was taken away by the monster and did not kill her on the spot.

What do these monsters want to do? !

Zhang Chengguang couldn't help but strain his hand holding the heart-care knife.

Now, he faced a choice, which was to leave, avoid this area and continue moving forward to ensure his own safety.

Or do you think of a way to take risks and attack, kill two monsters, and save the living ones without making too much noise?
