Chapter 372 Another Weakness
It has to be said that Shi Jian's move was extremely bold. Once he was attacked by zombies at night, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, Shi Jian made this decision after careful consideration.

The nearby zombies have been cleaned up, only Linjiang city across the river still has zombies, and they are blocked by the river, unable to come over.

The main reason why Shi Jian wanted to spend the night here was to monitor these zombies to see if they would wade through the water.

If humans are attracted here, and the zombies still haven't crossed the river, then it can be judged that the zombies will not wade, and these zombies are basically isolated on the other side of the river.

On the other hand, if the zombies really crossed the river, Shi Jian and the others would not be in danger if they had a car. The slow speed of the zombies could only be due to exhaust fumes.

But when things really got to this point, Shi Jian had to reconsider his retreat route.

After hearing Shi Jian's order, the Chang'an people said that they were not worried that it was true or false.However, the long-term trust and admiration for Shi Jian made them still follow Shi Jian's instructions, and buried their fear deeply in their hearts.

Feng Chen immediately arranged shifts for the night duty personnel, told them to always pay attention to the surrounding situation, and told others to rest in the car at night, no need to set up tents.After finishing these, he began to arrange for everyone to start preparing dinner.

The zombies on the opposite bank were no longer screaming on the broken bridge. They spread out, descended from the embankment to the river bed, stood by the river and walked back and forth, trying to find a way to cross the river.

Shi Jian held the pipe and smoked slowly, watching the zombies swaying back and forth intently, without seeming worried at all.

What he did gave Chang'an people a reassurance, and they were no longer as nervous as before.

But if someone observes carefully, they can see that there are several blue veins on the back of Shi Jian's hand holding the pipe, which shows that he is not as relaxed as he appears on the surface.

"Boss Shi, the meal is ready." Feng Chen walked over and said softly.

Shi Jian didn't move, and said: "Eat in batches, keep some people on guard, and I'll eat the second batch."

Hearing this, Feng Chen immediately went to make arrangements, then brought some food to Shi Jian, and said, "Boss Shi, let's watch them while eating."

Shi Jian turned around and looked around at the vigilant people, put out his pipe, sat down on the floor, and began to eat quickly.

This meal was the fastest of all, and the most thrilling.

On the other side of the river, less than 200 meters away from them, the black crows' zombies gathered there, and the number must be at least [-].

They were howling, howling angrily, and it sounded like they were in Shura Hell.The sound alone was scary enough, not to mention the disgusting stench of corpses.

If anyone can still eat slowly and carefully under such circumstances, then this person either lacks five senses, or is so neurotic that he is inhuman.

Shi Jian just took two bites, but couldn't eat any more. He pushed away the bowls and chopsticks on the ground, and began to observe the zombies on the opposite side again.

Looking at the black shadows walking back and forth under the moonlight, Shi Jian even had the idea of ​​destroying them immediately, but unfortunately he was powerless.

"Boss Shi," Feng Chen leaned over and suggested, "How about we shoot a few shots?"

Shi Jian shook his head slightly, and said: "No, the zombies dare not go into the water now, it's just their instinct, and it's not that the water will harm them. If we blow up two cannons, even if one zombie enters the water in the chaos If it finds that there is no danger, it will immediately notify all the zombies. In this way, we will lose more than we gain."

"Then we let them show off their power there?" Feng Chen still didn't give up.

Shi Jian smiled slightly, pointed to the zombies opposite and said, "In our eyes, they are showing off their might, but in their eyes, why not us?"

This is indeed true, the zombies are now extremely annoyed at the delicacies on the other side of the river.Unlike the delicacies in their memory, not only did the other party not run away in fear of them, but not long ago, their compatriots were wiped out by these foods, and the bridge connecting the two sides was also destroyed.

The zombies can't wait to tear the food into pieces and eat it in their stomachs, but this damn river stops them from taking revenge.

The zombies in front kept notifying the zombies behind in their own language to keep them from crowding, otherwise they would fall into that terrifying river.

It is also interesting to say that water does not cause any harm to zombies, which can be seen that they are still very active in rainy days.

Moreover, the near-hibernation characteristics of zombies allow them to stay in water without breathing.

But this river, which is no more than three meters deep and no more than 20 meters wide, separates zombies from humans.

Seeing that the zombies had no tendency to cross the river for a long time, Shi Jian felt relieved, and said to Feng Chen, "Tell everyone to take the time to rest, especially the driver, must maintain sufficient physical strength."

As soon as the words fell, Shi Jian saw a zombie being squeezed into the water, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone is ready to retreat!"

The Chang'an people didn't know what happened, but it didn't affect their reaction speed. The car was started immediately, and the officers on duty under the car also jumped into the car.

Shi Jian pulled Feng Chen and was about to retreat to the car behind, but at this moment, he found that the zombie that fell into the water was struggling desperately, even though the water was only as deep as its thigh.

The zombie fell into the water like a drowning person, waving its hands with all its strength.

The zombies around it kept yelling at it, wanting to help, but they didn't dare to take a step forward.

The zombies in the water struggled for about 5 minutes, and finally climbed to the shore.As soon as it landed, it roared and gestured at the group of zombies, not knowing whether it was angry or rejoicing.

The group of zombies took a few steps back, further expanding the free space on the bank, and the zombies in the front all stayed away from the river, not daring to take half a step closer.

"Damn it!" Shi Jian stopped, looking at the zombies suspiciously.

"This is too dramatic, it's too unscientific!" Shi Jian murmured.

Seeing that Shi Jian had stopped again, Feng Chen hurriedly asked: "Mr. Shi, shall we go or not?"

"No hurry, wait and see." Shi Jian waved his hand lightly.

Feng Chen had no choice but to take a car to inform him again, and the alarm was lifted.

Shi Jian kept observing the zombies on the opposite bank, and saw that they were always wandering about five meters away from the river, not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pond.

Raising his hand to look at his watch, Shi Jian realized that before he knew it, it was already past ten o'clock at night, and even the people on duty had changed two shifts.

Shi Jian looked at Feng Chen, Zhang Jian and others who were always by his side, and said, "Okay, there shouldn't be any problem, everyone go back and rest, tomorrow will take a long time by car."

Then everyone went to the car with Shi Jian to rest, but the roar of the zombies could not be heard, making it impossible to sleep peacefully.

In this way, until more than twelve o'clock, the people who couldn't bear it fell asleep in a daze.In one night, I don't know how many people dreamed of zombies crossing the river, and they were frightened and woke up from their dreams.

The white belly of the day was exposed, and the zombies retreated unwillingly. Naturally, they did not forget to roar twice to the other side before leaving.

The sleeping sun finally broke free from the horizon and sprinkled light and heat on the earth again.There were no more zombies by the river, and they were all walking back and forth in the shadow of their own residences, casting their bloodthirsty gazes on the other side of the river from time to time.

Shi Jian still woke up from the dream on time, but he slept very soundly, and he was not disturbed by nightmares, not even the last roar of the zombies could wake him up.

When he jumped out of the car, he found that everyone was already up, and many of them had dark circles under their eyes, obviously they hadn't slept well.

"Tell you, whether you should sleep or not, you will suffer later." Shi Jian scolded.

Yi Hengge yawned and said, "It's okay, let's sleep in the car. I can't sleep at all, those zombies are too noisy."

Shi Jian chuckled and said, "I guess they all think so? I don't know what our driver thinks?"

Meizi came over and said, "Mr. Shi, we have discussed it and we will take turns to drive. Anyway, we have no shortage of drivers, and one car with two is more than enough."

"That's the way it is," Shi Jian nodded and said, "I'll start eating right now, and then hurry back, there are a lot of things waiting for us."

Everyone drove back immediately after eating, trying to get back to the industrial park earlier and take a good rest.

Sitting in the cab, Shi Jian first notified Feng Kuang of his return through the walkie-talkie, and then talked about what happened last night.

Feng Kuang was taken aback when he heard that Shi Jian dared to stay across the river with the zombies all night, and then reprimanded him severely in the most severe tone.

Shi Jian also knew that this trip was too risky, so he accepted all Feng Kuang's criticisms, and when the other party's anger was almost vented, he said: "Old Feng, although this night is risky, it is worth the money, at least We have discovered another weakness of the zombies."

Of course, Feng Kuang understood the meaning of this matter, and the fire disappeared, so he said: "This is indeed very valuable and will be of great use to us in the future. But in the future, we must not be so reckless again. You must know that you are not alone, and all of them fall into the trap." All of my hopes for development are pinned on you."

After reassuring again and again, Shi Jian asked, "How are things at home going?"

"That Xie Bin and others have already been taken into custody, and we can discuss what to do when you come back. But the most troublesome thing now is not them, but those who did not participate in the rebellion, but did not help each other." Feng Kuang said in the last two days. The sentence is deliberately accentuated.
