Chapter 43 Trumbull Valley

Trumbull Valley, a scenic area with a vast area and few people, is a tourist attraction around Danforth City. Many people go to Trumbull Valley for vacation every holiday.

At this time, Luo Guang looked like a mountaineering tourist, carrying a mountaineering bag filled with various equipment and supplies prepared by Luo Guang for this mission, and followed the trail indicated by the tour guide into the forest of Trumbull Mountain Area.

There were direction tables left by predecessors along the trail, and Luo Guang also had the latest beta positioning equipment developed by Umbrella Company, so Luo Guang did not get lost when he passed the trail. He set off at 7 o'clock in the morning, stopped and walked along the way, and arrived safely in Trumbull Valley at around 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Leaving the trail, the terrain suddenly opened up, and the lake not far away was shimmering, and the scenery was beautiful.

There was a small island in Luo Guang Lake with a wooden house on it. It felt like a good place for vacation, but it was a pity that this place was no longer a paradise.

Retracting his thoughts, he was not far from the summer camp in the Trumbull Mountains. Luo Guang planned to find a place to spend the night while there was still time, as he would have to travel a long distance tomorrow morning.

This summer camp in the Trumbull Valley was originally where the loggers of the town of Trumbull lived. Later, in response to environmental protection policies and to improve and optimize the industrial structure, the logging camp here was closed and transformed into a summer camp for the town's children and a camp for the Boy Scouts.

"Hey~, the two in front."

Luo Guang walked around the lake towards the summer camp for a while, and saw two figures carrying mountaineering bags in front of him. Their steps were relatively steady, so Luo Guang called out to them.

The two heard a shout from behind, turned around, and saw Luo Guang walking towards them with a backpack on his back. Thinking that he was a fellow traveler, they asked, "Hey, are you here camping too?"

"No, I'm going to climb the mountain, and the canvas on my body is just for rain and warmth." Luo Guang knew that the other party had misunderstood because of the yellow canvas hanging next to the backpack, so he explained and ran to catch up with him.

"Have you been camping for a long time? Looking at the bags on your back, it seems that you are well prepared." Luo Guang chatted with the other party.

"Yes, about a month." The black-skinned young girl among the two said, "Marcus said he prepared an unforgettable date for me, but I didn't expect it to be a month-long camping trip in the mountains."

The girl was just teasing the black boy next to her, and there was no annoyance in her tone.

Luo Guang looked around at the two people. The muscles on their arms were very tight. They looked like they were usually active athletes. He asked, "Are you a couple?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Marcus said, "This is my girlfriend Maya."

"Hello, Maya. Hello, Marcus." Luo Guang greeted them and introduced himself to them, "My name is Luo Guang."

"Hello, Luo." Marcus invited, "Luo, are you going down the mountain? Let's go together?"

"Okay." Luo Guang didn't mind being a light bulb for the two people, so he agreed to their invitation.

The three of them didn't talk much along the way, and soon came to the main house of the summer camp. Marcus and Maya planned to say hello to the people guarding the camp and tell them that they had returned safely.

But when Marcus opened the door, he saw that the main house was in a mess and no one was there.

"Is this a thief?" Maya, who was standing behind Marcus, looked out and saw the chaos in front of her, raised the hiking stick in her hand, and said a little nervously.

"Maya, hide behind me, be careful." Marcus protected Maya behind him and walked in first.

Since Marcus wanted to show his bravery in front of his girlfriend, Luo Guang naturally didn't need to show off at this time.

"Has there been a fight? And several people have slept here." Luo Guang observed the situation in the house and said, "Are there any signs of theft at the cash register?"

Various mountaineering equipment are sold in the main house, so Luo Guang asked about the cash register.

"No, it's locked well. Marcus pulled the cash register's cash box, but couldn't open it. He went to check the sleeping bag on the ground and said confusedly: "What happened here? Why are there so many used sleeping bags on the ground? And there is blood on this sleeping bag?"

"I don't know, but it is very likely that something urgent happened here, and it seems that the people who left were in a hurry. "Luo Guang walked over, and the surface of the sleeping bag that Marcus pointed at was covered with a red and black liquid.

Maya's sixth sense told her that it was not safe here. Maya pulled the corner of Marcus's clothes and said, "Let's go back to the town quickly. I always feel that it is not safe here."

"Well, wait, I'll use the radio here to contact the people down the mountain." Marcus turned on the radio next to the cashier and started to contact the forest safety officer down the mountain through the rescue channel.

After confirming that there was nothing he wanted here, Luo Guang prepared to leave the main house and looked at the entire camp.

"Hey, where are you going?" Maya saw Luo Guang about to leave the main house, so she stopped Luo Guang.

"I'll go outside to see the situation, you stay here and call the people down the mountain." Luo Guang left the wooden house after seeing Marcus nodded to him.

The location of the main house of the camp is two meters higher than the terrain of other wooden houses, which allows the entire camp to be seen at a glance.

"Hmm?" Luo Guang's eyesight had improved, and he found that there were human figures swaying in the wooden house and the surrounding woods. In the center of the camp, there were large patches of black and red marks on the land where the bonfire was usually lit. Luo Guang didn't know whether some of the people lying on the ground motionless were corpses or blood plague zombies.

Those swaying figures walked similarly to the zombies Luo Guang had seen in Raccoon City, so Luo Guang didn't speak rashly, holding a mountaineering pick and touching one of the wooden houses.

Although it seems that these blood plague zombies and the zombies encountered in Raccoon City are the same type of slow-moving ones, who knows if it is a countermeasure to save energy because they don't see prey, so Luo Guang plans to try the quality of those blood plague zombies first.

The door was blocked by a wooden board, and Luo Guang directly moved the obstacle away and opened the door.

Because the obstacles made noise when they were moved, Luo Guang was prepared and opened a hole in the head of the blood plague zombie that rushed in front of him.

Luo Guang only dealt with the blood plague zombie closest to him, and then immediately ran to the main house of the camp, shouting as he ran: "Marcus, there are man-eating monsters here!"

The sound of Luo Guang's series of actions directly alarmed the blood plague zombies wandering around.

Marcus and Maya did not respond to Luo Guang, but the blood plague zombies responded to Luo Guang first, accompanied by a low roar from the mouth of the blood plague zombies, and then one spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and the zombies in the surrounding woods began to gather in the summer camp.

These blood plague zombies, are they communicating?

Luo Guang looked at the blood plague zombies that were gathering together with a little surprise.

"Luo, something bad is going to happen." Marcus rushed out of the main house. As soon as he said something to Luo Guang, he saw the blood plague zombies gathering in the camp below.

"Are these the zombies mentioned in the radio?" Marcus said as he looked at the zombies staggering below, and Maya, who was following Marcus, was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"Radio? Zombies?" Luo Guang was curious about what Marcus learned through the radio, so that he could infer the survivors' understanding of the disaster.

"Actually, the other party contacted us. She was contacting her father. After hearing that we had been camping in the mountains for a month, she told us what happened in Trumbull Valley during this month." Marcus looked at the increasing number of blood plague zombies and made a long story short: "The unknown virus infected people, and then those infected people became very aggressive, and they also told us that those were no longer human, but a kind of monster called zombies."

"Marcus," Maya pointed to the mountaineering pick in Luo Guang's hand that was still stained with blood.

"I saw a figure in the house, so I went to knock on the door, and as a result, I met the zombies you mentioned, and I was forced to defend myself." Luo Guang said with a tone as if he was still in shock.

Marcus saw that Luo Guang's hand holding the mountaineering pick was shaking slightly.

"Luo, calm down, we have to leave quickly. The people on the radio said that these zombies will become very aggressive at night." Marcus was calmer than he thought. Looking at the increasing number of zombies, he took his girlfriend's hand and ran down the mountain.

Luo Guang fell behind the two of them, put away the frightened expression on his face, and observed the situation of the blood plague zombies.

Perhaps because they saw that Luo Guang and the other two were about to escape, the roar of the blood plague zombies changed slightly, and then those blood plague zombies attacked the location where Luo Guang and the other two were.

"It moves faster than the zombies in Raccoon City." Luo Guang judged.

The zombies in Raccoon City all looked weak and walked like old people, but the blood plague zombies in front of them were not like that. Although they still didn't run, they walked at least like a normal person, but the stride was not large, so ordinary humans could still maintain a normal advantage.

Marcus and Maya were both native Trumbo people, so Luo Guang asked them to lead the way down the mountain.

After the initial fear, Maya finally calmed down and asked Marcus to throw away the heavy objects on the backpack.

Marcus followed Maya's words and quickly threw aside the tent support poles, pots and pans, sleeping bags, etc. on his back.

With less weight, Marcus and Maya ran faster.

Marcus took the time to look back at Luo Guang. Luo Guang did not throw away the things on his body, but still followed him closely. The three of them ran nearly 200 meters quickly, but Luo Guang still looked at ease, without a drop of sweat on his head, which made Marcus surprised in his heart that Luo Guang was amazing.

"Where are we going?" Luo Guang said anxiously behind him: "We can't keep running all the way like this."

"Ascension Cathedral, the people in the radio station set up a shelter there." Marcus, as the leader, explained, and turned back to confirm the location of the blood plague zombies. After they were far away from him, he slowed down his running speed.

"What's the matter with being more aggressive at night?" Taking advantage of the fact that the three of them finally didn't have to run fast, Luo Guang asked about what Marcus had mentioned before.

"I don't know. The other party only mentioned that we should pay special attention to a kind of red-eyed zombie." Marcus glanced at his watch. There was less than an hour left before sunset, and there was still a long way to go back to the town.

The three of them ran across a wooden bridge.

"But we may not be able to catch up." Luo Guang said worriedly.

"We can only pray that we find a house to spend the night." Marcus had no other choice but to say this to comfort his girlfriend who felt uneasy after hearing Luo Guang's words.

"I hope so." That was all Maya could say.

On the other side, after Luo Guang heard Marcus's words, he thought about the red-eyed zombies for a while. The person on the radio specifically mentioned red-eyed zombies, so maybe the blood plague virus had undergone some kind of change in these red-eyed zombies. It seems that there is a high probability that a positive change has occurred. This is the information that Minister Guslin likes to see, and I don't know if I can use this to ask Minister Guslin for more money.

Luo Guang's backpack contains a syringe specifically for drawing blood. Although the viruses in the zombies have probably changed a lot, they are generally not so delicate that they can be preserved. However, the reverse analysis of such viruses will be difficult. become very large.

The sunset came sooner than Marcus imagined. It was already dark, there were no lights on the road, and with the woods blocking both sides, the view was worse than Marcus imagined.

Marcus turned on the flashlight, walked a little further, and found a car crashed into a tree stump not far away.

Marcus's first reaction was to step forward to check if anyone was in the car and whether he was injured or unconscious, and then ran over first.

Maya followed immediately, took the flashlight that Marcus handed to her at the side of the car, and followed Marcus to shine light on her boyfriend.

There was no one in the car, but the entire car was covered with bloodstains. There was no body or limb missing. In addition, there was a bloodstain starting from the car door and going all the way into the depths of the forest.

Marcus saw Luo Guang, who had followed him to check, and said, "I didn't see any injured people, but there was a trail of blood going all the way into the forest. I think if this person encountered a zombie, he probably ran away into the forest."

After speaking, Marcus glanced at Maya and said, "I want to find this injured person and rescue him."

"Marcus, are you crazy? We can't protect ourselves now, and look at the situation in this car." Maya knew that Marcus was a kind-hearted person and a good person with a reputation in the community, but she felt In the current situation, there is no time to rescue others.

A cold wind blew by, and the trees rustled, seeming to respond to Maya's words.

"I know, but someone needs help." Marcus knew that he shouldn't be kind at this time, but he didn't want to ignore it.

"Marcus, do you want to leave me? Or do you want me to follow you into the forest? The zombies are very dangerous at night." Maya grabbed Marcus' hand and persuaded her.

"Okay, I get it." Marcus finally lost to his girlfriend's plea and chose to continue going down the mountain.

"I'll go find him." Luo Guang on the side volunteered, startling Marcus and Maya.

Luo Guang raised his hand to stop Marcus's persuasion and said: "I brought a pistol to deal with wild beasts. Those zombies can't do anything to me. Besides, I just took a look, so I can give myself an explanation."

Luo Guang's words hit Marcus's heart.

"Besides, Marcus, you have to protect your girlfriend." Luo Guang advised Marcus considerately.

"Yes, Marcus, just let Luo do this. Let's go down the mountain or find a safe place first. Don't waste Luo's thoughts." Maya also persuaded, but these words made Luo Guang feel uncomfortable. This reminded Luo Guang of those people who are accustomed to moral kidnapping.

It's just that Luo Guang planned to get rid of the two of them, so he didn't point it out. He just frowned and glanced at Maya silently.

But Maya was looking at her boyfriend, so she didn't notice Luo Guang's displeasure.

"Okay, pay attention to safety." Marcus still couldn't defeat his girlfriend, and Luo Guang also had a gun to protect himself, so Marcus blessed Luo Guang, said goodbye to Luo Guang, and continued to set off along the road, while his girlfriend Maya... Without saying a word, he just followed Marcus down the mountain.

Because the game State of Decay is mainly about group characters, except for some NPCs, most of the characters are not necessary, so part of the plot has been changed.

Also, although there are actually cities and towns in the valley, looking at the game map and playing experience, the city is too small and there are not many buildings, so it was unified into a town, and the divisions were described.
