Chapter 124: Named: Good Luck
Thanks to the rural renovation planning of the past ten years, the entire county, town, and village under Qincheng were built very well, especially the roads. The self-built rural roads from the provincial road to the village were all cement roadbeds, so even with the tonnage of two RVs, there was no pressure.
The Mercedes VS RV driven by Zhang Su was still in the lead. He drove slowly toward the village. As his field of vision advanced, he could finally see the situation at the village entrance from among the trees, which couldn't help but make his heart sink.
Roadblocks, barbed wire, tires, farm tools, overturned agricultural tractors, and other messy things stretched for fifty or sixty meters from north to south, blocking the passage from the village to the outside tightly. Even the village name on the village entrance stele couldn't be seen, but from the bloodstains on the stele, one could see that a fierce battle had occurred here.
Looking inside the village through the roadblocks, severed limbs and broken corpses were scattered on the street, and zombies wearing thin clothes were wandering slowly on the street, like a hellish village scene.
"Too miserable..."
Zhang Ya, who had been very quiet along the way, spoke softly, a heavy emotion on her face.
Seeing a leopard and knowing the whole, the scene of one village represented the situation of thousands of villages...
"The defensive power of rural houses is not as good as apartment buildings. They are all small bungalows with courtyards. In some places with better customs, they don't even like to close the gates, so zombies can easily break in..."
Zhang Su parked the car next to the roadblock. Zombies nearby felt the sound and walked toward them, only to be blocked by the roadblock on the other side, mechanically waving at the group, as if it were a call of death.
*Whoosh, slap! *
Zhang Su took down the crossbow and solved the zombie clinging to the roadblock with one bolt. He didn't want to have a guy howling and screaming on the side while he was working.
"Come, park the car here!"
A fertilizer store with a particularly imposing style was opened outside the village entrance. Zhang Su directed everyone to park the cars against the fertilizer store's storefront, so even if a car passed by on the provincial road, they wouldn't find cars here even with binoculars.
More than ten people were busy, disturbing the zombies in the village. Just in the time it took to park, a dozen zombies gathered on the opposite side of the roadblock, baring fangs and brandishing claws, wanting to pounce on fresh flesh.
"Wait!"
Zhang Su saw many people carrying weapons and preparing to deal with the zombies, so he called them to a halt.
Zheng Xin and the others looked back at Zhang Su in confusion, not knowing what there was to wait for...
"Wu Lue, Yu Qing, Pei Lan, Zhang Ya, you four go solve the zombies."
Zhang Su pointed at the few people.
It could be seen that these few people were shrinking to the back of the team, obviously belonging to the group with a less active attitude.
Zhang Su spoke, and Wu Lue and the others didn't dare to dawdle. Each took a weapon and walked to the roadblock. Because the distance wasn't enough, they still needed to laboriously move some accumulated items, or drill into the interior of some obstacles, to be able to reach the zombies.
"Can I go too?"
Zhao Xue walked to Zhang Su's side and asked softly.
"You want to practice too? Sure, pay attention to safety."
Zhang Su didn't doubt Zhao Xue's fighting spirit. What needed to be trained was not just skill, but the desire to survive and the will to fight were also very important. He said to everyone: "I said I would urge them to practice. Now that there is such a good opportunity, if they don't practice, what will they do when they encounter an encounter battle? Being ambushed is even more certain death!"
He looked at the clumsy appearance of Wu Lue, Yu Qing, and Pei Lan and shook his head secretly. These guys needed to be trained hard. Only Zhang Ya was still okay; the trekking pole in her hand was used very skillfully, and she didn't hesitate to stab zombies.
Zhao Xue went without saying. After leaving Eilewen, she had already killed seven or eight zombies, and no one in the team looked down on her anymore.
"Brother Su, this Zhang Ya's skills are really okay!"
Lu Yubo leaned to Zhang Su's side and teased in a tone that only men understood, meaning, this chick is not bad, Brother, do you want to take her into your harem?
"No matter how good her skills are, it's useless!"
Zhang Su curled his lips and smiled, saying something Lu Yubo didn't understand.
Through this journey of observation, he had already determined that Zhang Ya had problems, but she had been slow to make any moves. Since the enemy didn't move, he chose not to move either, wanting to see what kind of tricks she would pull in the end!
It took five or six minutes for Wu Lue and the others to finally clear the zombies charging at the roadblock. Afterward, they moved some debris, revealing a large stone engraved with the village name.
Shuwa Village...
Not a stunning village name, it became one of the countless villages that perished under the disaster.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone used the fertilizer store as a temporary place to settle. They tidied up the messy store a little and cleared out an area. Except for Chen Hanzhou, who was holding binoculars on the roof to keep watch, the rest gathered together, discussing giving the dog a name.
"Although the little Corgi has only been awake for half a day, it has performed meritorious service repeatedly. I think it is qualified to become a member of our team, and it should be given a name!"
Zhang Su patted the Corgi that was eating meat cans on the side.
After hearing Zhang Su's words, the Corgi responded very positively, rubbing its head against his leg, and then continued to bury its head in eating.
Everyone was extremely supportive of Zhang Su's proposal. In half a day, everyone had witnessed the Corgi's magical aspects; it wasn't just about running fast and jumping high.
"I'll say first, look at the circle of big white hair on its neck, let's call it Little Yellow!"
"Boo! ~~~"
"Go to your grandpa..."
Lu Yubo's plan was unanimously rejected by everyone, and even the Corgi, which was eating *baji baji*, gave him a white eye.
"I think it looks tiger-headed and tiger-brained, running like a tiger, and it's dragon-spirited and tiger-fierce in movement. Why not call it Yinhu, how about that?" Yu Wen pushed his glasses and participated in the discussion with great interest.
This time, many people still opposed it, feeling that the name was too ungrounded and sounded weird when called out.
"Sigh, it's not hard to name a dog, just call it Dog Egg!" Zhao Dezhu waved his hand, then remembered something, and said: "Ah, no, it's a female dog, can't call it Dog Egg, call it Dog, Dog... hehe, forget it."
Everyone knew what he was going to say and looked at him sideways in unison.
*Ewu! *
The Corgi also let out a low growl at Zhao Dezhu with great dissatisfaction.
"We found it at Phoenix International, why not call it Phoenix? It was in a coma for more than ten days before waking up, which counts as nirvana rebirth, right?"
Tan Huajun said with a smile.
"Phoenix?"
"This name seems okay."
"Is it really okay for a dog to be called Phoenix..."
Zheng Xin raised her hand and said: "Hey, hey, I was the one who found it, let me name it!"
"Name it, come, tell us your thoughts..."
Zhang Su found Zheng Xin, who was full of seriousness, quite funny.
"Didn't you say my luck is good? My luck was good to find it, and it will also inherit my good luck, so it's called Good Luck, how about that?"
The scene fell silent.
"Sister, this name... is a mouthful."
Wu Lue mentioned it weakly.
"Hmm... Good Luck is indeed a bit of a mouthful, then let's treat it as the dog's big name, and the nickname is Lucky, which gathers more elements of good luck, how about that?"
Yu Qing suggested following Zheng Xin's words.
"Good Luck, Lucky, Lucky, Good Luck. I think it's quite good." Yu Wen expressed his opinion, strongly supporting his daughter.
"Good Luck, follow me, I am Good Luck's owner, Lucky, go, bite him!"
Zhang Su tried to bring the name into the scene, his eyes lit up, and he said to the Corgi: "You will be called Good Luck from now on, nickname Lucky. Good Luck is you, Lucky is also you, understand!"
*Woof, woof! *
The Corgi seemed quite satisfied with this name, even stopping eating the meat cans, wagging its tail and nodding at Zhang Su.
"Hey, I'm the owner of Good Luck, I named it, why are you stealing the credit..."
Zheng Xin pouted at Zhang Su, looking very aggrieved in the dim light.
"Fine, fine, you are too..." Zhang Su didn't care about such small things and said very generously: "Good Luck, she is also your owner, you know? Be obedient, understand?"
*Woof woof. *
The Corgi circled around Zheng Xin very spiritually, making everyone like it very much.
Taking the opportunity of naming the Corgi, everyone talked about some interesting things, some from before the apocalypse, and some anecdotes of finding joy in suffering after the apocalypse broke out. In the laughter, everyone's tense nerves were relieved.
Rare happy times in the apocalypse, everyone cherished them especially.
