Chapter 336:
"That is?"
"It's the city library."
Just as Joanna looked at the building in the distance, Heather behind him suddenly said.
"what?"
Joanna looked at her father in surprise. She didn't expect his father to speak so quickly. According to the other party's character, this time he was forcibly taken out of the sewers, and the other party would ignore her for at least a month.
Heather thought she didn't catch it, and repeated it.
"That's the city library."
After ignoring her daughter's surprised expression, she turned her head to look at Glenn.
"Glen, right?"
"Yes sir."
"Can I ask what you are doing in the library?"
Glenn seemed to have thought that the other party would ask this question, and replied without thinking.
"Of course, Lu said that although it is already the end of the world, many crystallizations of pre-apocalyptic civilization cannot be abandoned. When we restore civilization in the future, we will continue to develop with these things, so our purpose this time is to empty the library. Most of the collections in the area, and then set up a large library covering various fields in the settlement."
Hearing this explanation, the old man suddenly became silent again, but he nodded slightly, his eyes were looking at the building not far away, and he spoke slowly after a long while.
"Maybe I really misunderstood you."
His eyes seemed blurred. The two years of hard life in the last days did not take away his will to live, but took away his hope for the future. Once upon a time, he was also wantonly cutting down those **** walking corpses outside in his dreams. He can turn into a **** of war, and he will cut down thousands of walking corpses to the ground with one blow, but every time he opens his eyes, he continues to hide in the dark underground, guarding the one-third of an acre of land, taking care of him nervously. Those who have already eaten the nauseating mushrooms.
Living in this world, there are a few people who really like it. Maybe only those desperadoes who are reckless, careless, and lawless will truly accept today's apocalypse. No, it should be said that they want to embrace with open arms. this new world.
Several libraries in Atlanta are basically located in the north of the city, so if you want to pass through the city, you must traverse the city. Today, the city is no longer like the beginning of the apocalypse. Shortage, most have left the city, but there are also some who say nothing.
Although the walking corpses have no thoughts, these guys have a good subconscious, or a conditioned reflex, probably because something is still engraved in their bones, just like they are still walking upright even though they are corpses. Think it's a natural thing to do.
They never thought that since it was an unknown virus infection that turned living people into such undead monsters, why can't they stand on all fours?
Therefore, Lu Jiayi has always believed that most of the behavior of these walking corpses is the basic conditioned reflex of human beings.
Their behavior of hunting living animals is purely brain function, because everyone knows that these rotten guys have already driven away to absorb nutrients. Even if they only have one head left, eating is still their instinct.
...
Unimokri, Lu Jiayi was leaning on the sofa in a daze. On the way, he found that compared with half a year ago, there were significantly fewer walking corpses in the city. Although the overall number was still considerable, it was compared to the one that was shoulder-to-shoulder. The grand occasion is now, at best, sparse.
"Do you think you can clean up the walking dead in the city and move them back?"
Listening to Lu Jiayi's mindless question, the people around who were on guard were a little confused. They glanced at each other, but couldn't help but cast their eyes on Rick, who was obviously thinking.
"Moving back is a big project. With our current manpower and materials, we don't have the ability yet."
In fact, Lu Jiayi was just talking casually. Now is not the time to think about it. It just so happened that the team also came to the door of the library.
"Working!"
"Go to work, go to work."
Lu Jiayi and a few people walked into the main entrance of the library, followed by a few little guys, each with a small face and a serious look of vigilance around, the few people walking in front were not idle, from time to time I will carefully investigate some corners and corners around me, and then I will tell a few children how to deal with special situations.
The little guys listened very seriously at first, but the good times didn't last long. The most were only ten years old. They were more interested in the huge library itself. After a while, a few of them started to lose their minds, and from time to time they pulled out a cover from the bookshelf. A book with a cartoon pattern, after a few glances, I found that I didn't like it, so I put it back, and then moved on to the next book.
The most serious one here is Carl, and the other is Clementine, who is similar in grade to Carl. As for Sophia, that little girl seems to be quite resistant to going out. Now that she has nothing to do, she prefers to learn cooking with the people in the cafeteria.
Several teams rushed in after entering the library, and there would be a low shout from time to time in the distance, and then a soldier would pull a corpse and pile it up in the corner of the hall.
The clean-up work lasted for an hour before the upper and lower floors of the library were cleaned up, and then everyone let go of it completely, pushing the book management trolley and began transporting books to the cart one by one.
Heather, who was sitting in the backmost bus, watched the stacks of books being transported out. She got up from her seat excitedly. Joanna, who was sitting in front of him, saw her father's movements, so she also stood up and helped him. down.
Various types of books gradually piled up on the huge transport truck, most of which were professional books, some literary masterpieces, and even two sets of professional law books, which would eventually be properly kept.
According to Lu Jiayi, the most important thing to preserve the fire of civilization is people, followed by books. As long as there are people, there is hope. As long as there are books, the brains of these people can be armed and the fire can be passed down from generation to generation.
On the other hand, Joanna and the others finally had their first meal in three days. In view of their lack of nutrition all the year round, all of them were yellow-faced and skinny. The chefs who accompanied the team just made some easier-to-digest foods, and at the same time kept ordering them. Don't eat too much, wait until you go back to eat.
At the same time, a team of people with walking corpse hoods on the periphery of the library kept attracting corpses from a distance.
During the time when everyone was transporting the books, the people in the team had already started a circle with no less than 300 walking corpses, and the walking corpses gathered in the distance soon merged into the group of corpses. At this moment, the effect of the herd effect The power appeared, and a large number of walking corpses directly ignored the living people entering and exiting at the gate of the library~www.NovelMTL.com~ and went to bee chrysalis on the farther street.
"Maybe we can clean them up this way."
"Well, but you have to carefully arrange the plan and method. These monsters are not so easy to die. When you have time, you can call the people in the base together to discuss, and maybe you can come up with a lot of good ideas. As for now, it is unnecessary. The energy to clean up the walking dead will only slow down development."
"Okay, then I will remember this matter and talk about it when the time is right."
For this matter, Rick is actually quite concerned. Since Lori's death, his hatred for walking corpses has risen to a height of hatred. Almost every chance he has, he will think of destroying these monsters as much as possible. But he didn't lose his mind because of this, so he didn't mention it again after thinking about it.
"By the way, after we go back, we will organize a group of people and go out with me tomorrow."
"What's wrong?"
"There is news about the settlement, I plan to go and see."
