the beginning of the end

Chapter 81

The most striking thing about this group of people under the cliff is that everyone is wearing a self-made snow suit, the whole body is wrapped in it, and the feet will not get frostbite when they step on the snow.

After the crowd packed up, the small bags of luggage were brought with them, and the large bags were put on the wooden sleds not far away. The sledges, large and small, were placed there. The exact number was impossible to count at the moment.

It has to be said that under the persecution of the environment in the last days, in order to survive better, people also learned how to make good use of everything around them.

These self-made sleds are not used to sit on people, but need to be pulled in front of them. The things on the sleds are almost all the food brought by this large group of people from the original base.

Without this food, even if this group of people went to the new base, they would not be able to survive at all.

After the crowd set off, the superhumans walked in the front, followed by the strongest mutants, and the weakest people in the team walked at the back.

Walking at the end of the crowd, Zhang Dashi struggled to drag the sled behind him, and chased the team in front step by step. From time to time, he glanced at the sled behind him, and he continued to move forward with the sled.

Seeing the eldest brother pulling the sled for more than an hour, Zhang Xiaoshi felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly said to Zhang Dashan who was turning around: "Brother, you have been pulling for so long, you should rest for a while."

Zhang Dashan kept panting: "No, you have to find the next place where you can sleep outside before dark, otherwise, you and Mingming can't stand it at night." After finishing speaking, Zhang Dashan continued to pull the sled forward Walk.

Looking at his nephew who was sleeping in his arms, wrapped in a thick blanket, with a sleepy face, Zhang Xiaoshi thought that he had never had a good day when he was four years old, and now that he was caught up with the end of the world, he still I don't know what will happen in the future.

Zhang Xiaoshi felt very uncomfortable, especially when his leg was injured, and the elder brother dragged him and Mingming along the way. In order to heal his leg, he even gave out several bags of grain. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoshi couldn't help but I hate myself so much. It's all his fault that he insisted on showing off to make my eldest brother so miserable now.

It's also fortunate that the elder brother is a supernatural being, so after he was injured, he could deter those who tried to attack them. Otherwise, he and Mingming might not be able to survive long ago.

If it weren't for his burden, the life of eldest brother and Mingming would definitely not be like this. Every time Zhang Xiaoshi felt uncomfortable, he blamed himself. He swore in his heart that he would never do anything to drag elder brother again. One day, I will take good care of Mingming.

"Brother, my legs can walk now, stop for a moment, I'll come down and pull the sled with you, let Ming Ming sit on the sled alone." Zhang Xiaoshi really didn't want to see his brother so miserable, so he stopped in the team After planning to rest for a few minutes, he hurriedly said to Zhang Dashan.

"No." Zhang Dashan didn't even think about it, looking at Zhang Xiaoshan very firmly refused his request.

Zhang Xiaoshi listened to his elder brother's words, and his expression was obviously a bit lonely. He felt that even if he got better, he couldn't help his elder brother, and he was really useless.

"Although the injury on your leg is healed, you can't stand the cold now. Otherwise, if the bones inside are exposed to too much cold, they will develop bad problems in the future. At that time, it will be difficult to cure them." See brother Feeling depressed, Zhang Dashan hastily tried to persuade him.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshi knew that his elder brother was doing it for his own good, but when he thought of his elder brother who was suffering so much for himself, the depression in his heart couldn't go away.

Seeing that his younger brother didn't speak, Zhang Dashan said again: "Xiaoshi, don't think so much now, just concentrate on taking care of Mingming in the back, and elder brother has nothing to worry about, since Mingming is handed over to you, elder brother can rest assured. I just heard that the person familiar with the terrain over there Someone said. There is not much distance from here to the previous base, and there are still three days at most before we can arrive. At that time, there are still many things for you to do. The most important thing for you now is to heal your injuries. After arriving at the base , with your help, big brother, our family's life will definitely get better."

"Well." Hearing what the elder brother said, Zhang Xiaoshi finally stopped thinking about it, faced the elder brother, nodded and assured: "Don't worry, elder brother, no matter when, I will take good care of Mingming. After arriving at the base, our family's life It's bound to get better."

Zhang Dashan touched the sleeping son in his younger brother's arms, and smiled at Zhang Xiaoshi gratifiedly.

Just as the two finished their conversation, there was a sudden commotion in front of the crowd.

Zhang Dashan and Zhang Xiaoshi looked forward at the same time, but the dense crowd blocked their sight, so they couldn't see clearly what happened in front of them.

After a while, I heard someone shouting in front: "It's a pack of mutated wolves. The pack of mutated wolves is rushing over. Run, everyone."

After hearing this shout, all the crowd following behind were in chaos. Most of them were pulling the sled and planned to turn around and run back, because the distance between front and back was not wide when walking. Soon, these people who were in a hurry, Because there was not much room to spare, all the sledges came together in a crowded place, making it even more chaotic than before.

At this moment, a shrill scream came from in front of him.

Some people turned pale with fright, and simply threw the sleds in their hands and ran back, while some were still struggling to pull out their sledges, obviously not wanting to give up the food that would be used to survive in the future.

One after another, screams came from the front incessantly.

Hearing these voices, Zhang Xiaoshi turned pale, hugged his little nephew tightly in his arms, looked at Zhang Dashan with a bit of fear, but he still remained silent, waiting for his elder brother to make a decision.

Zhang Dashan is a supernatural person, his eyes can see farther than mutants. Although the crowd is chaotic, he can still see the situation ahead. He saw a large circle of mutant wolves attacking the crowd. Hundreds of them. One of them is obviously the king of the wolf pack, it looks more than three times bigger than the ordinary mutant wolf, standing in the center of the wolf pack, looking at the crowd, with fierce eyes.

This group of wolves, after killing a person, tear them apart and swallow them non-stop. It looks like they haven't eaten for days.

The remaining supernatural beings in the crowd, including him, are only a dozen or so. Those mutants, many of them, after seeing such a large group of mutant wolves and their ferocity, they were already scared and ran back up.

"Xiaoshi, throw down the food on the sled, don't ask for anything." Now, Zhang Dashan can't control anything, and it is impossible for him to rush to help those people deal with the wolves regardless of the two only remaining relatives behind him.

Although Zhang Dashan couldn't bear it, he still rationally made the best decision for his family. If the food is gone, he can find it again. If his family is dead, what is the use of these food.

Hearing his brother's words, Zhang Xiaoshi put his nephew aside, together with his elder brother, he quickly threw all the things on the sled into the snow.

"Little Shi, hold Mingming well and catch it." After throwing the things away, Zhang Dashan said, pulling the sled and running back. Fortunately, their family walked at the end, and it was very convenient to go back.

The snow was so thick that it was impossible to run at large strides. Even if Zhang Dashan ran desperately with the sled, he couldn't go too far all at once.

The worst thing was that Zhang Dashan ran for a while, and even in the direction they were running, screams came from the front.

"Wolf, it's a mutant wolf," came another frightened and panicked voice.

There is something Zhang Dashan doesn't understand, it seems that they are surrounded by this group of mutant wolves.

Zhang Dashan stopped and continued to run forward, Zhang Xiaoshi hurriedly asked: "Brother, what should I do?"

What to do? They are now surrounded by mutant wolves. If they want to escape, they can only fight.

"Xiaoshi, look after Mingming, the elder brother will definitely take you out." Zhang Dashan held the handle of the sled tightly, looked ahead firmly, and continued to run forward. He couldn't stop here. If he was caught by a large number of wolves behind, After catching up with two people, he has no chance to run out, so he can only run in the direction where there are fewer mutant wolves, so that he has a chance to take his younger brother and son out.

Zhang Xiaoshi hugged his nephew tightly with one hand, and grabbed the sled with the other, listening to the screams in his ears from time to time, the only thing he could do was to protect the little nephew in his arms.

"Uncle." The noisy voice and strong fluctuations woke up the nephew in his arms. After finally hearing the voice in his ear, Xiao Ming trembled in Zhang Xiaoshi's arms in fear.

"Xiao Ming, don't be afraid." Zhang Xiaoshi forced a smile on Xiao Ming's face comfortingly.

Xiao Ming nestled in his uncle's arms and asked, "Dad?"

"Dad is pulling us, Xiao Ming, don't worry."

Hearing his father was in front, Xiao Ming wanted to look up.

Zhang Xiaoshi hastily stopped his little nephew's actions, and whispered: "Xiao Ming, don't look up, it's windy outside. Dad is going to chase away the mutant wolf now, we can't disturb him."

As soon as he heard that his father was going to deal with the mutant wolf, Xiao Ming immediately stopped moving, and retracted his head into his uncle's arms, not daring to move.

Seeing his little nephew so obedient, Zhang Xiaoshi held back the soreness in his heart, and continued to focus on the big brother in front of him.

After not running far, a mutant wolf suddenly rushed out from the side, and rushed towards Zhang Dashan.

If it wasn't for Zhang Dashan's quick reaction, he pushed the sled back and rolled around on the spot. He was almost thrown down by the mutant wolf.

Now, if he wants to continue running, he can only kill this mutant wolf who is playing chess with Zhang Dashan.

The mutated wolf bared its teeth fiercely at Zhang Dashan, a bright red liquid flowed out of its mouth, and its stomach was also drooping, presumably it had killed someone just now.

Zhang Dashan didn't give the mutant wolf a chance to react, he raised his hand and a wind knife shot over, hitting the mutant wolf's front foot in one go.

The mutated wolf roared and looked at Zhang Dashan even more ferociously.

Taking advantage of the mutant wolf's injury, Zhang Dashan made another attack with a few wind knives, the target was very clear.

Because of the injury, the mutant wolf's movements were obviously not as sharp as before. After dodging a few times, the other front foot was also cut by Zhang Dashan's wind knife very quickly.

This time, both of the mutant wolf's front feet were injured, and he fell down on the snow. He tried several times, but he couldn't stand up.

When Zhang Dashan set the last wind knife on the mutant wolf's neck, the mutant wolf suddenly yelled unwillingly at the back of Zhang Dashan.

As if feeling something, Zhang Dashan hurriedly looked back, his eyes widened all of a sudden, he had no time to react, he just watched another mutant wolf rushing from behind facing the sled, his two most important two The individual jumped on it.

Zhang Dashan seemed to feel that everything in front of him was still, even his heartbeat stopped breathing, unprecedented fear filled his whole thoughts.

"No." Zhang Dashan uttered the most stern and loudest cry in his life.

At that moment, Zhang Dashan only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the mutant wolf that rushed forward flew out quickly, and the blood spattered in the air sprayed Zhang Dashan's face. He didn't understand what happened at all. After the mutant wolf fell on the snow, it was already dead.

Zhang Dashan rushed to the sleigh as if he was alive after a catastrophe. Seeing that his brother and son were not injured at all, he was relieved. Just now, he was really scared to death.

"It's fine, it's fine." Zhang Dashan said with lingering fear.

"Big brother, that mutant wolf`````" Hearing his big brother's voice, Zhang Xiaoshi finally woke up from the fright, and pointed at the mutant wolf that died suddenly, feeling very puzzled. How did the mutant wolf die without seeing the elder brother make a move?

"Are you all right?" Hearing a voice behind him, Zhang Dashan turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
