Doomsday pawn

"Uncle Kong, why are you here?"

The strong man in the middle looked down at Old Man Kong next to him and grinned, showing his big white teeth.

The old and strong old man Kong didn't say anything after he dropped the shovel. He just showed an extremely troubled look on his face when he lifted the shovel.

outside the human wall,

A group of zombies whose names have long been hard to tell are still swarming forward, wanting to eat them all. But unfortunately, the hands stretched out are not as long as the wooden handles of the shovels, and they are always against these people.

No effective harm can be done to man.

They were all from the same village and had known each other for decades. Old Man Kong had already vaguely recognized the rough identities of several of the zombies.

He was eager to save people just now, and his mood was understandable. But now after such a delay, his tone was relieved. And this discovery also made him suddenly reluctant to take action.

"Uncle Kong!" came two urgent voices.

Seeing that Old Man Kong, who was still aggressive just now, stopped moving after lifting the shovel. The two men standing behind him stopped at the same time and looked at the zombies who were blocked with tangled expressions on their faces.

Then they all turned to look at Old Man Kong again, hoping that he would make a decision.

"Move...do it. Help these children."

Although he couldn't bear it, Old Man Kong quickly made up his mind. However, when he said these words, he had long lost his high spirits. As he stepped back, his voice sounded a little more choked up.

In his eyes, the arms of the few people acting as a human wall were trembling, and the movements of waving their arms were getting slower and slower. It looked like they would not be able to hold on much longer.

He knew why these people were working so hard, so he couldn't risk their lives just for the zombies in front of him.

Besides, they definitely don't like their current appearance. It's good to be relieved like this, at least they won't continue to suffer.

The two men nodded to each other, their expressions were very complicated. The arms holding the shovels were raised high, and the joints of their fingers were a little pale because they were held too tightly.

"Uncle Kong, let me do it!"

Just when the two men held back their eyes and gritted their teeth and were about to take action, suddenly a long knife with cold light was placed horizontally on the handle in their hands.

The two of them turned their heads and realized that the person speaking was the young man who had just escaped from the city.

Wei Lai's arms held the two strong men as steady as a rock, and he looked at Old Man Kong with sincere eyes, sincerely wanting to help them solve this embarrassing situation.

Then, without waiting for Old Man Kong to reply, he took back his sword and walked behind the wall of people. "If anyone can't hold on any longer, just step back!"

But as his words fell, the original formation of the human wall did not change at all...

Although the people in front gritted their teeth and persisted, and even though the legs supporting them were shaking, no one quit.

Speaking of which, there are only about twenty zombies left outside now. Even if Wei Lai kills them by himself, with his current strength, it will be nothing more than a waste of time.

However, these people don't seem to believe him very much...

"Go and rest, leave it to me!" After repeating it again, Wei Lai grabbed one of them by the collar and pulled that person behind him without any explanation.

"Don't... be careful!"

The man sat down on the ground and exclaimed.

But when he raised his head, he found that the young man who had dragged him had already taken his place. He was swinging the knife very fast, and it seemed that he was much more efficient than himself.

Moreover, he did not retreat at the same time as the others. Instead, he gradually stepped forward towards the zombies, directly breaking away from the horizontal line of the entire human wall.

After a few steps, the scene became that he was in charge alone, fending off the remaining zombies with only the sword in his hand.

"Huh...Uncle Kong, where did this guy come from?"

The strong man who had previously been called a stone suddenly lost the pressure in front of him. He not only leaned on the shovel in his hand but slowly squatted down. He was breathing heavily and looked at Wei Lai in front of him, who was killing everyone by himself. He was a little surprised.

At this time, the expression on Old Man Kong's face was equally shocked. His small eyes were even more rounded, and he replied with a grin: "He said... he just came out of the city."

Old Man Kong had thought before that since these three people could escape from the city, they must be quite capable. But he really didn't expect them to be so capable.

This young man who doesn't look too old can face more than a dozen zombies by himself. So if the three of them attack together, how powerful will it be?

At this time, the few guys who had been replaced could no longer hold on anymore. They were leaning against the wall and squatting. They were all staring at Wei Lai's back in a daze.

In the past, I only thought that Shi Tou was majestic and strong, and that he was already the most powerful person I had ever seen. But Shi Tou couldn't face so many zombies alone.

But today this strange-looking young man couldn't help but do it, and he did it so easily. This made them feel a little bit envious despite being nervous.

How great it would be if I could be so powerful!

The narrow alley restricted the swarming of zombies, and Wei Lai, who had the alley to himself, kept swinging his knife.

His knife is very fast, at least faster than the zombies waving their claws and lunging forward with their canine teeth exposed. Therefore, the speed of killing zombies is naturally not slow. Basically, every knife will take away a part sprayed with mucus.

Son.

Withered arms, black nails, fangs hanging with pieces of flesh, and a withered head rolling on the ground.

It is difficult for these zombies who died under Wei Lai's knife to leave a complete corpse. I don't know if this is his deliberate caution or his own unique quirks.

Soon, the sun sets...

The dozen or so zombies that originally made everyone feel like they were facing a formidable enemy were all chopped down by Wei Lai alone, leaving broken limbs and remains all over the ground.

When the blade was pulled out from the head of the last zombie still standing, almost everyone saw a black blood spraying in the air. Reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, it revealed a strange splendor.

Then Wei Lai slowly turned around, covering up the setting sun that set in the mountains. It was as if the last ray of sunlight in the world was completely extinguished behind him.

Old Man Kong stared blankly at the tall figure, but compared with the stone beside him, he was definitely not a tall figure.

It was as if he suddenly saw a savior in a desperate situation, his eyes became more and more fiery.

…

The role of fire is not only to bring light and drive away cold, but more importantly, it can give people a unique sense of security in this darkness.

When they returned to the yard, the man who had come back to report had already woken up. After eating something, he was able to get up on his own and seemed to be fine.

Seeing the crisis, Old Man Kong, who had gained a lot from his trip, quickly calmed down. After greeting others to prepare food, he took Wei Lai and started chatting again.

Old Man Kong, who is in his fifties, is a typical village official whose characteristic is that he can speak well. Under his introduction, Wei Lai also completely understood the composition of their group.

There are a total of 4 to 12 people in their group, and more than 20 of them are villagers from Yushan Village, mainly women and a few children. The extra ones are all from the nearby Daling Village.

Among them were the few people who formed the human wall, including the strong man Shitou.

It is said that there were more than thirty people before they set off, but in these two villages not far apart, just a few kilometers away, more than a dozen lives were lost on the road.

After the survivors from the two villages met, they have been keeping each other warm here and waiting for rescue. As for food, they also went out to search for food in the homes of the villagers.

Originally, they were lucky that there had been a lot less zombies outside in the past few days, and they didn't know where they had gone. They really didn't expect to be attacked by such a large group of zombies today.

"Fortunately, I met you, little brother."

Old Man Kong looked excited. This was the third time he expressed his gratitude to Wei Lai tonight. However, the old man expressed his gratitude in a very unique way. He always patted Wei Lai's arm excitedly while talking.

Although Old Man Kong acted very grateful, as if he had met a benefactor, Wei Lai knew that this old man was definitely not an economical person.

As the saying goes, people are old and smart, and ghosts are old and spiritual.

Just looking at the two strong men who had been hiding in the dark and never showed up, I knew that their years as village chiefs were definitely not in vain. They had the same agenda.

And in the afternoon, there were absolutely no more than forty people in the house. As for where the other people were hiding and why they were hiding? Everyone knew it tacitly!

During the day, the reason why Wei Lai acted righteously and stayed was because besides wanting to see what Old Man Kong wanted to do, he also had his own considerations.

What seems to be a confrontation between the old fox and the young fox is about to begin.
