Chapter 848 Survivor Camp
Chapter 848 Survivor Camp
When Lu Cheng arrived two or three kilometers away from Hershel Farm, scattered zombies appeared on the road and in the woods on both sides of the road.
The closer you get to the farm, the denser the zombies gather around you.
Seeing that the car was no longer able to drive conveniently, Lu Cheng simply folded up the entire pickup truck, then quickly moved through the dense group of zombies, and soon arrived at the straw shed on Hershel Farm.
The entire shed was two stories high, with a lot of firewood piled inside, and was originally used to hold the farm members who had turned into zombies.
Lu Cheng first entered the straw shed, quickly put a lot of firewood into the storage space, and scattered it on the open space around the straw shed. Then he jumped up to the second floor of the straw shed, took out an M249 light machine gun from the storage space, aimed at the zombies around him and started firing.
As dense gunfire rang out, more and more zombies gathered towards the hut. The area was densely packed with people, and gradually surrounded the hut, making it impossible to get in or out.
Lu Cheng did not shoot the zombies near the hut, but let them continue to gather. The zombies could not climb the ladder, but would swarm and hit the hut.
As more and more zombies appeared around, the hut became shaky.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Lu Cheng took out a ringing alarm clock and continued to attract the zombies around him.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng took out a lighter, lit a handful of firewood, threw it into the hut, and jumped out from the second floor of the hut, crossing a distance of dozens of meters and landed in a gap among the zombies.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng disappeared near the hut in just a few steps, came to the woods at the edge of the farm, jumped onto a big tree, observed the hut that was on fire in the distance, and opened the system panel to check the changes in the number of zombies killed.
Before long, as the fire in the straw hut burned more and more vigorously, the firewood scattered on the ground around it also began to burn, and the dense group of zombies also began to burn, and zombies continued to fall into the fire.
These zombies were just a group of moving corpses, tireless and fearless. Even when burned by fire, they still did not escape.
Moreover, the crackling sounds of burning wood and firewood also attracted other zombies to rush towards the hut.
At the same time, the number of zombies killed on Lu Cheng's system panel continued to increase. Before long, the number of kills increased by two or three hundred, and it has not stopped yet.
Although this killing efficiency is not as good as Lu Cheng's continuous shooting with a machine gun, it also provides a new method, which does not require much effort and can save bullets.
For a moment, many new ideas emerged in Lu Cheng's mind.
The fire in the straw hut was still burning, but the intensity of the fire had begun to gradually subside.
This thatched hut is hundreds of meters away from the wooden house where Hershel's family lives. In addition, there is open space in between, so it will not affect Hershel's house.
Lu Cheng looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. He did not stay here for too long and headed northwest. At the same time, he sent out his bird scouts to search for the location where humans gathered.
Now that we have entered autumn, the weather is getting colder. If there are survivors camping in the wild, they are likely to light a bonfire, which will make it easier for birds flying in the sky to find them.
Moreover, Lu Cheng also expanded the number of his bird scouts during this period and domesticated many of the most common birds in Georgia to facilitate reconnaissance.
After leaving the range of the zombie swarm, Lu Cheng took out his pickup truck and continued driving northwest.
After walking about thirty kilometers northwest, a scouting owl suddenly flew back and brought good news to Lu Cheng: a fire was found in the distance.
Lu Cheng immediately adjusted the direction and drove forward for a few kilometers. Suddenly, the road ahead was blocked. There were many vehicles that had collided with each other or overturned on the road. Some of the vehicles were stuck with zombies that could not get out, and they roared from time to time.
Lu Cheng put away the truck again, jumped onto the roof of a car, and kept leaping forward.
After running less than a kilometer, leaving the blocked area, and walking forward for a distance, passing through a jungle, Lu Cheng saw an area surrounded by barbed wire in front of him.
Lu Cheng quietly came to the vicinity of that area and carefully observed the situation inside from multiple directions.
This camp is somewhat similar to the temporary camp set up by the military in King County when Lu Cheng first came to the world of the zombies.
To the north were two independent six-story buildings, in front of which was a square with a row of military tents. On one side of the square were parked seven or eight military Humvees, two tanks, two helicopters, and several civilian vehicles.
Through observation, both buildings showed signs of explosion, one of which was severely damaged and had already tilted and collapsed. The other building was naturally better, but it was also riddled with holes and was obviously not suitable for living.
After turning on the biological detection system to scan, there were a total of 67 people in the entire camp, basically concentrated in the tents in the square in front, and a few were in the abandoned building.
There are two snipers at two points on the roof, who use binoculars to observe the distance from time to time to ensure that no zombies approach quietly.
At this time, everyone in the camp was gathering together to eat. It seemed that the food was quite abundant, so this group of people should not be short of supplies.
Judging from the weapons and equipment here alone, there should have been at least a hundred soldiers gathered here before.
However, the number of soldiers now should be less than 30. Most of the rest are men, women, young and old. They do not have a military aura and are more like ordinary people who are protected.
After figuring out the situation in the camp, Lu Cheng turned to the road nearby, took out a backpack from the storage space, and put some food, water, medicine, two pistol magazines, and half a box of bullets in the backpack.
He then took out a SIG Sauer P320 pistol, put it on his waist, and took a baseball bat that had been used to beat zombies. He dressed up as a lone survivor of the apocalypse and headed towards the camp.
As soon as Lu Cheng approached the camp, he was immediately discovered by the guards on duty at the camp gate.
"Stop, who are you?"
"Hello, I'm a survivor passing by. Don't be nervous, I just haven't seen other survivors for a long time. I finally saw you and wanted to join you. I'm a doctor and can treat patients. Please let me join your camp, it's not easy to survive alone."
The guards at the camp observed carefully and confirmed that Lu Cheng was alone. After hearing him claim to be a doctor, they immediately shouted inside: "Lieutenant William, there is a new survivor here."
Soon, several strong men in military uniforms walked out of the camp. The leader was wearing the shoulder straps of an army second lieutenant, and there was also a sergeant and a corporal.
The leading lieutenant looked at Lu Cheng carefully and asked, "Tell us your name and background. We are considering whether to accept you."
"My name is Lu Cheng, a private doctor from King County. I went to Atlanta after the chaos broke out, but I didn't expect... I have been wandering around since then, trying to find a shelter and survive with other survivors..."
Based on the experiences of Sean, Dr. Jenner and others, Lu Cheng made up a story about the origin and added some stories that had happened before to make it more real and credible.
After hearing this, the officers on the other side also lowered their guard, but still said, "Doctor, for the safety of the camp, we need to check your backpack and weapons to make sure you will not pose a threat to us before we let you enter the camp. Please don't mind."
"Of course, you can look at it as you like."
A soldier immediately came over, checked Lu Cheng's gun and backpack, confirmed that there was no problem, then turned and nodded to their superior.
The officer then spoke: "Hello, Mr. Lu, welcome to our camp. You came at the right time. We are having a meal. Would you like some canned luncheon meat?"
"Thank you!"
