The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 174 Tiger Ridge

Ninety miles west of Yuanyang City, this place belongs to the boundary of Tongchang County, and the place name is Hudaling.

Unlike the general lack of water in the Northwest, Tongchang County has many rivers, and Longyou County is also known as "Little Jiangnan on the Fortress".

Therefore, Tongchang County is richer than other prefectures and counties.

The outbreak of zombies has brought huge disasters to Tongchang County, but its overall situation is better than other prefectures and counties.

The main reason is that the dense water network in the county greatly limits the mobility of the zombies and slows down the spread of the virus.

However, the disaster brought by the zombies still killed more than [-]% of the people in Tongchang County, and the remaining people are now trapped in various villages and towns by the zombies.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain on the south side of Huda, a group of tired-faced people were running wildly up the mountain with their families.

There are old and young among them, but generally speaking, most of them are young and strong, and there are nearly a hundred of them.

It was hard to imagine that they could maintain such a large team and survive in the wild during the month when the zombies broke out.

"Hurry up...on the mountain, there will be a big tree on it!" Meng Hai shouted loudly.

There are big trees on the mountain, hearing it is like a tonic in the ears of the people, making these already tired people speed up by three points.

During this period of time, they survived not only because they dared to fight, but more importantly, they relied on trees.

When encountering small-scale zombies, they can rely on their numerical advantage to fight, but as long as the number of zombies is slightly larger, climbing trees is the magic weapon for survival.

In the team led by Meng Hai, people kept joining in the middle, and people kept dying, maintaining a dynamic balance.

The group of them rushed up the mountain at high speed, and more than 20 zombies were chasing after them tens of feet away.

And farther away, there are other zombies coming, all of them come by smell.

Meng Hai was the fastest, the first one to run up the ridge and under a big tree.

Without any hesitation, Meng Hai clung to the branch of the tree, turned over and climbed up the trunk.

The rest of the people also rushed over quickly, climbing up the tree like a wave.

After these days of fleeing, no matter men, women or children, their ability to climb trees has been greatly improved, because those who move slowly have already died.

Soon everyone climbed the tree, and almost everyone held a sharpened wooden stick in their hands, which was the weapon they used on the tree.

When everyone climbed the tree, after a few breaths, the zombies rushed under the tree, roaring at the people on the tree.

Three, five, ten... Soon, more than 40 zombies gathered on the mountain, bringing a strong rancid smell to the scene.

It was also this strong rancid smell that gradually suppressed the "human scent" of the people on the tree, which gradually reduced the number of zombies who came behind.

A few minutes later, more than 70 zombies gathered on Huda Ridge, scurrying back and forth in the woods where Meng Hai and others were staying.

Everyone in the tree didn't move, and no one made a sound, they just squatted on the tree without moving.

After another ten minutes, Meng Hai was relieved when the number of zombies under the tree stopped increasing.

"Zhang Yang? Ma Shan? Are you still alive?"

Apart from the howling of the zombies, there was no other sound at the scene, which made Meng Hai a little anxious.

"Zhang Yang? Ma Shan? If you're still alive, hurry up and answer, we don't have time to delay!"

"You're dead and I'm still alive!"

"Brother Meng... what should we do now?"

The voices coming from two directions made Meng Hai's heart drop.

During this period of time, if these two good brothers did not support each other, he, Meng Hai, would have died countless times. Of course, this sentence is also the same in reverse.

The three of them are from Chengde County. Although they are brothers in life and death, their origins are different.

Meng Hai is a military household sent by Yuanyang Guards to station in Chengde. He serves as the general banner in the army. Because the garrison is extremely strict, the inside and outside of the barracks are almost completely isolated.

When the zombies broke out, Chengde County was turned into a dead city, but the military barracks outside the city remained.

However, there were too many zombies, and although the barracks could hold back for a while, they couldn't last for a long time, so in the end they had no choice but to break out of the barracks at the right time.

Even at this time, recalling the hundred households who made the decision to flee at that time, Meng Hai couldn't help but be amazed.

If they stayed in the barracks for two more days, and waited for a large number of zombies in the city to rush out, they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

It's a pity that this Baihu was bitten off by a zombie before ten days on the way to lead the escape.

The escape route is dangerous and unpredictable, people are dying along the way, there are fewer and fewer brothers in the army, and more and more survivors join along the way.

Both Zhang Yang and Ma Shan joined in the middle, and each brought a wave of people.

Zhang Yang is the son of a Chengde county lieutenant, and Ma Shan is a butcher, both of them are capable people.

So every time they want to do something, the three of them discuss it.

"Wait a little longer and make sure there are no such monsters, so let's cook the following!" Meng Hai said in a deep voice.

"it is good!"

"can!"

The three of them reached an agreement. They have come up with a more useful strategy along the way, allowing them to use the advantage of location to kill zombies.

The so-called favorable location is actually that they are in a high place, they can attack the zombies under the tree, but the zombies can't do anything to them.

Although these zombies moved quickly and had high sensitivity, they couldn't climb trees.

Everyone was silent again, and after confirming that no zombies would come, they started to clean up the zombies.

Originally, everyone climbed as high as they wanted, but after Meng Hai gave an order, the young and strong climbed under the tree with their weapons.

They are all holding long weapons, which keeps them away from zombies as much as possible, and the level of safety is higher.

Meng Hai tied himself to a tree with a rope, which was not only safer, but also freed his hands.

Clamping the tree trunk with both legs, holding a long sharpened stick in his hand, Meng Hai looked coldly at the zombies under the tree.

Aiming at one of them, when it was the closest, Meng Hai stabbed down with all his strength, and it really hit the zombie's throat.

The stabbing was only the first step, and then Meng Hai quickly retracted the wooden stick to prevent the weapon from being grabbed by other zombies.

After all that he had done last night, the zombie who was stabbed by him also fell straight to the ground.

Meng Hai is a master among this group of people, that's why he can kill with one blow.

Just when Meng Hai was proud, he heard Ma Shan's voice not far away: "Brother Meng, I have already killed two!"

"Let's see who kills the most today, let's compete together!" Meng Hai said with a smile.

He made jokes, mainly to enliven the atmosphere and ease the fear in everyone's hearts.

Only by reducing their fear can the young and strong be able to exert greater combat effectiveness. These are the experiences that Meng Hai has explored.

In fact, when the zombie density was high enough at the beginning, they all killed quickly, but later the zombies became less and less, and it became more difficult to kill them.

"I stab..."

Next to Meng Hai, a young man gritted his teeth and stabbed with all his might.

The wooden spear pierced the zombie's neck, but before the young man could be happy, the rope binding him around his waist suddenly snapped, causing him to fall directly under the tree.
