Chapter Thirty-Nine: Return to the Horse Pistol
The photo in the pocket watch is still very new, it should have just been installed, the family of four in the photo is happy, who would have thought that the family would encounter such a change in the blink of an eye.
"This insect plague is much bigger than what has happened in the past few hundred years, and there have been outbreaks on all continents, which can be said to be unprecedented, I didn't expect our family to flee one day......" Looking at the photo in his pocket watch, Uncle He smiled bitterly
"Indeed, there are some things that we can't predict!" Wang Wuyun nodded with deep feeling.
Uncle He carefully put the pocket watch in the velvet bag, then put the bag in his arms and put it away, and buttoned the pocket in his arms, "I was originally transferred by the latter group, but the situation deteriorated later, and the Zerg appeared in large numbers, and the troops protecting the Bailu family we transferred encountered the Zerg and suffered heavy casualties, and they were directly dispersed, so everyone could only find a way to escape!"
"After five days of walking from here, you should be in Millstone City......
"The premise is that you don't encounter any damn bugs on the road!" Uncle He's face gradually became serious, there were a few deep furrows between his eyebrows, and a trace of worry climbed his eyebrows. We haven't encountered so many man-eating insects on the road before, especially this knife beetle, this is one of the main forces of the Zerg, basically there is no single action, these insects should swim along the river, it is not good to be the forward of the Zerg, behind this knife beetle, there must be more and more Zerg will appear, and the road behind me is probably becoming more and more dangerous!"
Hearing what Uncle He said, Wang Wuyun's brows also furrowed, and when Uncle He spoke, Wang Wuyun had already silently called up the map and looked at it carefully, and then shook his head, "There is no shortcut to Millstone City here, the nearest road is the one outside the town just now, so we have to leave immediately, once we are surrounded by those insects, then we really can't go!"
Uncle He didn't know that Wang Wuyun had just looked at the map unconsciously, the expression on his face changed a little, and he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking, and Wang Wuyun discovered it at once.
"Uncle He, what do you want to say?"
"This ...... I have a way to maybe we can get to Millstone City sooner?"
"Oh, what is Uncle He's up to?"
"Just now in the town, everyone was sleeping, because those man-eating insects appeared too suddenly, so there was still a car in the town, and it didn't drive out......"
"There's still a car in town?" Wang Wuyun's eyes lit up.
"Hmm!" Uncle River nodded, "That car was the one we found broken down on the road two days ago, it was repaired, and fuel was found and can be used, if we can get that car out, we can reach Millstone City in one day, and the possibility of being surrounded by those zergs on the road is very low......"
"Were there any other swordsbeetles in the town just now?"
"No, there were only man-eating insects in the town just now, and those man-eating insects ran after us, so ......"
"So it's possible that there aren't many bugs in the town now......" Wang Wuyun's eyes lit up slightly, and he understood what Uncle He meant.
"It's also possible that there are a lot of bugs in the town at this time, so you have to take a certain risk when you go back!" He Dashu licked his lips and looked at Wang Wuyun with his eyes, including asking Wang Wuyun's opinion, because if he wanted to go back to the town, Wang Wuyun was the main force......
Wang Wuyun thought about it, Uncle He's proposal was very tempting, if it succeeded, the benefits were self-evident, and it was possible to avoid the dangers behind, but if you went back, if the situation in the town was not good, there would also be great dangers.
It's all dangerous, it's up to you to choose.
"Uncle He, what do you think?"
Uncle He gritted his teeth, his face was resolute, and he looked open-minded, "If I rely on these feet, I'm worried that I won't be able to walk to Millstone City, and if I encounter danger again, I may not have such good luck to run away, so I want to try!"
"Okay, then let's go back and have a look!" Wang Wuyun also stood up, his eyes surveying the forest, "But we'd better find a way back to it!"
"I came to this forest with people yesterday to pick up mushrooms and wild vegetables, and I know there is a way to go back......" Uncle He also stood up at once, looked around, and then stretched out his hand to point in a direction to the southeast, "We go around that hill and we can see the town, there is a road in the hills over there......"
The two men looked at each other, and both saw determination in each other's eyes.
Then there is nothing to hesitate about.
"Uncle He, do you want to rest again?" asked Wang Wuyun.
"No need, give you this!" He Dashu handed over two more grenades, "You can use this better than me!"
"What about you?"
"I have one more, and in the end, I will keep it for myself and promise not to leave myself to those bugs as food!"
Wang Wuyun put away the two grenades and didn't say much, "Okay, then let's go!"
The two of them cautiously walked towards the hill on the other side.
At this time, there were still gunshots in the woods, but they were even more sparse, and I don't know what happened to those who ran away and fled for their lives, Wang Wuyun had already killed the most difficult sword beetles, and the rest could only be reconciled.
It seems that the two of them killed too many man-eating insects just now, and along the way, in the process of the two people going around to the town, they didn't encounter a single man-eating insect.
Half an hour later, the two of them lay behind a hilly bush and looked at the town in front of them again.
The sun had come out at this time, the fog by the river in the town had lightened a lot, and the entire town had a clear outline in front of Wang Wuyun's eyes, and the evil place where the sword beetle appeared just now was already two miles east of the two of them.
Wang Wuyun's sharp gaze swept over the town, and the town in front of him was peaceful and silent, and there were no insects in sight, but no one dared to guarantee that there would be no deadly killing machines in the town.
Uncle River also watched, and then the two of them retracted their heads.
Uncle He used a branch on the ground to draw Wang Wuyun the terrain and streets in the town, "We are here now, through this hill, you can enter the town from this bridge, after entering the town, cross this street, and then walk a few hundred meters to the east, it is the central square of the town, the car is placed next to the central square, as long as you get in the car, you can start, and then we drive from the road we left just now, as long as there are no knife beetles, even if there are a few more man-eating insects on the road, we are not afraid, what do you think of this plan?"
Wang Wuyun looked at it and nodded, "This plan is okay, let me add one more point, I'll walk in front, Uncle He, you follow me, don't stick too close, keep a little distance, if you encounter danger, I'll drag those bugs first, you don't have to worry about me, you don't have to entangle with those bugs, just withdraw to the original way, don't wait for me, leave by yourself if you have the chance, I can run fast, you can evacuate from other places!"
Uncle He glanced at Wang Wuyun with complicated eyes and nodded silently.
After discussing it, the two of them walked through the hills again and cautiously re-infiltrated the town, with Wang Wuyun in front and Uncle River behind.
To be honest, Wang Wuyun was also a little nervous, afraid of being dumpled by insects, but thinking of his ability to have cold hair, Wang Wuyun's heart was a lot more stable, no matter what, as long as there were insects discovering them, Wang Wuyun would definitely be the first to feel it, at least he would not be ambushed by those insects.
All the buildings in this town are still intact, and there is little damage, but it is early in the morning, there is no one, only a layer of mist, and the streets of the town are scattered with some bits and pieces of broken clothes, broken furniture and other things, which look a little terrible.
Wang Wuyun walked in front, Uncle He walked behind, and both of them relaxed their hands and feet, for fear of making a little movement.
The two men crossed the bridge and entered the town, but they did not encounter half a man-eating insect on the way, and soon approached the central square of the town.
Wang Wuyun peeked out of the corner of the wall with a pair of eyes, glanced at them quickly, and then retracted his head.
Just by taking a look, Wang Wuyun could see the situation in the central square of the town.
The central square of the town covers an area of dozens of acres, there are six streets around the square, Wang Wuyun saw a car parked on the edge of the square opposite them, a straight-line distance of fifty or sixty meters from them, the car was not an ordinary car, but a truck with six wheels, and there were some things stacked in the cargo pocket of the truck.
Like the one I saw before, the truck was also modified, with ramming angles mounted on the front of the truck, reinforced with steel plates on all sides, and a heavy machine gun-like thing mounted on top of the truck.
But the square was not empty, but there were about seventy or eighty man-eating insects roaming.
Those man-eating insects hadn't noticed Wang Wuyun and their arrival, so they were scattered, and they were some distance from the truck.
Wang Wuyun, who was hiding on the corner of the street, gestured to Uncle He behind him, and Uncle He walked over with light steps.
"Uncle He, is the car you are talking about the truck?" asked Wang Wuyun in a low voice.
"Yes, just stop on the side of the street across from us!" Uncle River nodded, glanced alertly at the square, and then asked, "Are there man-eating insects in the square?"
"Yes, a lot!"
"How many?"
"I just looked at it, and there are about seventy or eighty man-eating insects in the square!"
Uncle He gasped slightly, seventy or eighty man-eating insects, that is not a small number, so many man-eating insects, swarming over, that will kill people.
Even if Wang Wuyun's marksmanship can hit a hundred shots and knock out one magazine, the man-eating insects can only kill thirty, and in the interval between changing magazines, the man-eating insects that rush over may be able to kill Wang Wuyun.
And Wang Wuyun now has only two magazines left, and the bullets in one of the magazines are almost half consumed, and there are probably less than fifty bullets left, how to get this?
......
