Apocalyptic waste

Chapter 348 The Congregation of the Imperial City

When a person is desperate and suffering to the extreme, he either dies or goes mad.Of course, madness also has different ways of madness. Some will have the tendency to destroy the world and become extremely dangerous people, while others will fabricate a fantasy world for themselves, and indulge in it from then on, unwilling to wake up.Lan Lan obviously belongs to the latter.

She may be suffering from the loss of her relatives one by one, she may be blaming herself for not having the courage to stand up and fight disasters with her brothers and sisters, or she may be confused about the future and don't know where to go, so she built a beautiful illusion for herself: The family members who left have returned for various reasonable reasons, and everyone is still living together happily as before.

Her split personality may be the result of this.Otherwise, with her personality, no matter how powerful she is, she might not be able to survive.

As for her abilities——

"What is the supernatural power?" Facing this question, Lan Lan looked very puzzled.For a person who has been hiding at home since the end of the world and has little contact with the outside world, it is not impossible to know nothing about supernatural powers.

So Nan Shao gave her a demonstration, kneading a metal plate picked up at random into a half-meter-long sharp machete.

Lan Lan was stunned, and after a while he stammered and asked, "I... can I see... just take a look?"

Nan Shao handed the knife to her, and when she was carefully confirming whether the knife was real or not, Zhang Yi gave a rough talk about the supernatural power.

Lan Lan's eyes sparkled when he heard it, and he was full of longing: "It sounds like a superman in a movie. If human beings have become so powerful, then what kind of mutant creatures and zombies are we afraid of?" Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of his family The situation, the mood fell down again: "Unfortunately, no one in our family has awakened." It seemed that she didn't know that she had awakened the ability.

remind?Still not reminded?

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao looked at each other and made a decision.He took out a crystal nucleus of an ordinary zombie from his pocket and threw it to Lan Lan.

"What is this? It's very beautiful." Lan Lan looked at it over and over again, looking at the flames, and liked it very much.

"The corpse crystal is taken from the zombie's head." Zhang Yi explained.

Lan Lan's hands trembled, the crystal nucleus fell to the ground, her face was blue and white, and she looked a little nauseous.

Reaction can't be fooled, especially for a child of Lan Lan's age, unless he is a natural dramatist.Now Zhang Yi is 80.00% sure that she has never seen a crystal nucleus.In fact, if someone hadn't discovered it by accident, who would have nothing to cut open the zombie's head to see.

"Try to see if you can absorb it. If you can, then you are an awakened person." He said.

Lan Lan had a look of disgust and fear on his face, he hesitated for a while, and finally the curiosity in his heart and the desire to become stronger prevailed.She bent down to pick up the crystal nucleus, but stretched her hands far away, for fear of getting infected with a virus.

"Don't worry, this is not contagious." Zhang Yi laughed.

Next, the most experienced Nan Shao will teach her how to absorb crystal nuclei.

Lan Lan looked timid and timid, but her understanding was obviously good. After listening to it once and asking a few more critical questions, she knew what to do. Two minutes later, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her originally disgusted face.

"I can absorb it!"

What is the use of being able to absorb, what is the key ability?She couldn't tell herself, and it was even more impossible for Nanshao Zhang Yi to know.The only thing that is certain now is that she is indeed an awakened one.But this alone was enough to make her happy.It's like a beggar who suddenly finds a treasure hanging on his body all the time. Even if he doesn't know the use of this treasure for the time being, the treasure is a treasure after all. As long as he spends time, he will be able to study its function sooner or later.In any case, it's better than nothing.

So from this day on, besides having an extra machete in his hand, what Lan Lan does most often is to discuss with his "family" there to study what kind of power he is.

As for testing her, Zhang Yi and Nan Shao had completely given up.It's not that they fully believed her words, but that such a temptation has lost its meaning, because in the next few days, they saw her ability to unintentionally turn danger into safety more than once.

During the night, I stepped on the decayed wooden stairs, but my clothes were hung by the wood protruding from the wall. The sharp steel bar that was broken and standing obliquely on the ground was smashed down, and a gust of wind blew her away, and the steel bar narrowly brushed past her ear, leaving a scratch; The snow was overwhelmed, and everyone else had tried their best to escape the fate of being buried. Only she was sitting there with a bowl in her hands and couldn't react. Except for catching a bowl of snow, nothing happened...

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao almost suspected that her ability was related to luck.But can luck also be considered a supernatural ability?And her luck, to put it bluntly, is good luck, but to put it bluntly, if it weren't for such and other accidents, how could it be possible to see that luck is good, so it is really difficult to judge whether it is good or bad .

But in any case, this can somewhat explain her living alone until now, and she is no longer as elusive as before, as if separated by a thick fog.

And the other reason that prompted them to stop probing is that they have been with the little girl for so many days, and they have been impressed with the little girl's strength and temper. It is enough to know that this person is harmless. There is no need to ask the bottom line. What about the secret?Of course, if they can be mistaken in this way, they have no choice but to admit it.

However, just when they stopped thinking about Lan Lan's weirdness, on this day, she suddenly stopped on the road, turned her head and looked in a certain direction, with a puzzled look in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Noticing her abnormality, Zhang Yi froze slightly and asked.

"Over there...it's hard." Lan Lan said hesitantly.

"What?" Zhang Yi didn't understand, but his gaze followed the direction she was pointing.

Nan Shao led Zhang Ruiyang to a stop as well.

Because of various road conditions, they had long deviated from the expressway, and they were walking on the old road from Yundong to neighboring provinces.This section of the road is in good condition, there are no abandoned vehicles or wandering zombies blocking the road, and the snow is not deep anywhere else.According to common sense, people should come and go frequently, and there may be a survivor settlement nearby.

The direction Lan Lan was looking at was a fork in the road. Across the dense mutant forest, one could vaguely see a small piece of undulating self-built houses.On both sides of the road, such self-built houses can be seen everywhere, so there is nothing special about it.

"It makes me uncomfortable over there." Lan Lan thought about her words, trying to express her feelings as accurately as possible.

Zhang Yi exchanged glances with Nan Shao, and asked, "Did you feel danger?" If there was danger, there was no reason why he and Nan Shao felt nothing.

Lan Lan shook her head, wanted to say something, but found it difficult to describe the feeling: "It's not... it's just very uncomfortable... very uncomfortable!"

"I'll go and have a look." Nan Shao said.Instead of guessing here and there, it's better to go and check it out.Of course it's fine, if there is any problem, it will be convenient for them to re-evaluate her ability.

Zhang Yi has no objection.He is still very relieved about Nan Shao's strength. If there is danger, let alone whether he can deal with it, there will be no problem in escaping.

Nan Shao walked there, because there were girls in the team, so it was inconvenient to transform.But his walking speed was not slow. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he had already turned back.

"What's the situation?" Seeing that his complexion was not very good, Zhang Yi raised his heart unconsciously.

Nan Shao was silent for a while before answering: "There is a survivor settlement over there."

"Really?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but cheer up, but before he could be happy, Nan Shao's next words were poured down like a bucket of ice water.

"But they were attacked, and no one was left alive. It should have happened in the past two days."

Lan Lan's face suddenly turned pale.

Zhang Yi glanced at her and said, "Let's go and have a look together."

Lan Lan's face became paler, her eyes showed a look of fear, her lips moved, she couldn't speak, she muttered for a long time, but she couldn't utter a word.

The settlement is not far from the road, about 600 meters away, and there is a small road about three meters wide connecting it with the provincial road.Because of the heavy snow and the separation of mutated plants, the road sometimes appears and disappears, but it is not completely cut off.

When they got closer, they saw that the self-built house was surrounded by a simple earthen wall, and an anti-theft iron door was installed on the earthen wall, which looked a bit petty.At this time, the iron door was open, and a corpse with only half of its body was lying there. The snow on its body had been brushed off by Nan Shao, and it was frozen hard, still retaining the panic and despair when it died.The chest and abdominal cavity were open, and the internal organs fell to the ground. The original shape was also preserved by the ice and snow, and the other half of the body was missing.

Zhang Yi squatted down to take a closer look.There was a sudden sound of vomiting behind him. Looking back, it was Lan Lan who was frightened by this scene and retched there.After thinking for a while, he didn't make a sound to comfort him, but turned back and continued to examine the corpse.

Zhang Ruiyang looked at the corpse and then at Lan Lan, as if he didn't understand why she had such a reaction.As a child who killed countless zombies with his own hands and took out corpse crystals from the zombie brains, that corpse was nothing special except that it was fresher.

"Are you sick?" That was the only reason he could think of.

Lan Lan covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly, not daring to look back.Zhang Ruiyang scratched his little head, even more confused.

"It was directly torn in half by a great force..." Zhang Yi over there concluded, "There is a finger indentation on the thigh. According to the size of the indentation, the murderer should be more than two meters in size."

While talking, Zhang Yi scraped away the snow on the surrounding ground with his hands, and then found the huge footprints he wanted to see about five meters inside the iron gate.

"It might be a mutated person, or a mutated zombie." Through the footprints, he came to a conclusion.As for the option of normal humans, he has reservations. It's not impossible, but the possibility is too low.One is that such a tall body is very rare among normal humans, and the other is that unless the psychology is extremely abnormal, or there is a deep hatred, otherwise they will not kill the same kind like this.

Not far away, he found the other half of the corpse, so he put the two together, collected the internal organs, and put them in the open space inside the wall.Nan Shao went to help.

Lan Lan was very scared, but she didn't dare to stay outside alone, so she could only lean against the wall, grabbing Zhang Ruiyang's little hand and rubbing her hands into the gate, and then followed Zhang Yi and Nan Shao step by step.

Through her shaking hands, Zhang Ruiyang finally understood that she was afraid, but he didn't understand why she was afraid.But thinking about how she cried for a long time when she was frightened by the zombies that day, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand.He wisely kept his mouth shut, not to expose this point, lest she cry again and he couldn't control it.

Inside the wall are seven or eight self-built houses, some with one floor, some with two floors and three floors.In a small place, corpses can be seen everywhere. Some heads were crushed to pieces, brain pulp and bones were mixed together, some were gnawed until the white bones were exposed, and some were torn apart. The angry expression and the weapons that fell all over the ground can be confirmed to have died in the battle.But there was no corpse of a zombie or a mutant beast at the scene. Excluding the possibility of being cleaned up and taken away, it can only show that the thing that attacked this small settlement is extremely powerful.

Thinking that there might be a powerful mutant creature peeking around, Nan Shao and Zhang Yi were calm on the surface, but they were already on high alert in their hearts.

They picked up the corpses one by one and placed them in the open space at the entrance of the wall to see if there were any survivors or traces left by other attackers.

To be honest, since the end of the world, we have seen too many similar scenes, from the beginning when humans were forced by zombies and mutated creatures to have no place to stay, to the hordes of corpses and beasts besieging the Yunzhou base, and then to returning to the south None of the survivor settlements wiped out by Lin An at that time was as tragic as the current situation.So picking up the corpses is the same as picking up the corpses, the hearts of the two of them are almost calm.

On the contrary, tears rolled in Lan Lan's eyes, and she wanted to shed them, and she didn't know whether it was because of fear or sadness.

"I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night here tonight." The busy Zhang Yi suddenly turned around and said.

Lan Lan's eyes widened all of a sudden, and the teardrops that had been in them were confiscated and finally rolled out.So many people died here, she couldn't even imagine living here, especially when she had to watch alone for several hours at night.

"We have to bury these corpses. The pit is not easy to dig, and it will take some time." Zhang Yi simply explained.In fact, burning them would save a lot of trouble, but none of them were fire-type superpowers, and they lacked fuel, so the frozen corpses couldn't be burned at all.

After a pause, he added: "You'd better get used to it quickly." They can't take care of her all the time, and they should separate when they meet a suitable survivor base.If she hadn't learned how to face zombies and death at that time, she might have had difficulty surviving.Thinking of this, he hardened his heart and said, "Come and help."

Lan Lan suddenly felt that the hairs all over her body stood on end, but she knew she couldn't refuse, so she could only rub it over there.

"I can do it too." Next to him, Zhang Ruiyang rushed over like a monkey, helping dig the corpse out of the snow, and then dragged it to the open space.

Seeing this, Lan Lan didn't have the nerve to delay any longer, so she ran over quickly and bit the bullet to help carry it.It's just that as soon as his hand touched the corpse, he shivered from the cold touch, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, and he squatted on the ground.Seeing this, Zhang Yi and Nan Shao didn't say anything to comfort or encourage them.Zhang Ruiyang turned his back on his back, completely unaware of her reaction, and dragged the corpse slowly away by himself.Lan Lan gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, and refueled herself twice before she finally got up again and staggered after her.

In fact, one big and one small can't help much, Zhang Yi just wants them to learn not to be numb to the death of their own kind, but also not to be frightened.

The settlement is small and the population is small, and it was cleaned up in just over an hour, leaving only the last two houses that have not been checked.Zhang Yi didn't let Zhang Ruiyang and Lan Lan scatter to search, but kept them in sight to avoid accidents.

The last two buildings are small two-story buildings, one with red tiles pasted on the door face, and one without, revealing gray cement walls.No matter whether the buildings in the last days are beautiful or not, they are full of a lifeless feeling, especially here.

The two small buildings were built facing each other, and they didn't choose, and went directly into the small building without tiles.

Long before they arrived, Nan Shao had searched the entire settlement to rule out possible dangers.But when they entered the small building and were about to check the upstairs first, the two people walking in front stopped at the same time, and their eyes fell to the storage room under the stairs in unison.

Boom...boom...boom...

There are very light and dull impact sounds, which only sound once or twice every once in a while. If you don't pay attention, you will easily be ignored.Nan Shao didn't notice it when he came here.But hearing it in such a dead and silent place, it is unavoidable to be a little thrilling.

Lan Lan, who had already helped move a few corpses, didn't seem to have become a little more courageous because of this. After hearing the noise, she subconsciously leaned closer to Zhang Ruiyang, reached out and hugged the little guy to strengthen her courage.Obviously, Zhang Ruiyang's boldness and high force value gave her a great sense of security, so much so that she ignored her age.

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao glanced at each other, raised their legs and walked into the storage room. After taking two steps, they turned back and said to the two children, "Stay where you are."

Nan Shao took the first step and entered the storage room.

The door of the storage room was not closed, and the light was very dark, which had little effect on Nan Shao, but he still took a candle he found at random and lit it, so that Zhang Yi could see clearly.

The storage room was very empty, with a pile of coals, a few tattered empty woven bags, and some discarded sundries, so a corpse lying on the ground was very conspicuous.

Boom!At this moment, there was another muffled sound, and the corpse moved slightly.

Not to mention that Lan Lan, who was peeking in with Zhang Ruiyang, was so frightened that she almost didn't cry out, even Zhang Yi Nanshao, who was already mentally prepared, was taken aback.

"Alive?" Zhang Yi looked at Nan Shao inquiringly.

Nan Shao stared at the past, shook his head, "No, it didn't turn into a zombie, it was just a corpse." While speaking, he had already walked over.

"Be careful." Zhang Yi warned, following closely behind.

As they got closer, a bloody smell of red nose rushed into their noses, making both of them frown.I had collected a lot of corpses before, but because it was too cold and empty outside, the smell of blood had dissipated, so I was a little uncomfortable with the smell.

Nan Shao felt that the place where he landed was a little sticky and slippery, and when he looked down, he found that it was actually coagulated blood, spreading from under the body of the corpse, dissipating into a puddle of blood.

"So much blood..." He was a little surprised.

At this moment, there were two more bang bangs, and the corpse trembled twice, interrupting his words.

Nan Shao walked over, knelt down in front of the corpse, held a candle in one hand, and turned the corpse over with the other.Zhang Yi stood on one side holding a knife, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The front of the corpse was exposed. It was a middle-aged man with a large skeleton but skinny. It was obvious that he had not lived well during his lifetime.However, most of the corpses cleaned up before were like this. Combined with the inspection of the entire settlement, it can be inferred that the survivors here were in short supply of food before they died.What is surprising is that the corpse in front of him is somewhat different from other corpses, it seems to have committed suicide.

A knife was tightly held in its right hand. There was still blood on the knife. A large gash was cut on the left side of its neck. The flesh on both sides of the wound was turned outwards. The carotid artery was obviously severed. That's how the blood flowed all over the ground.

This person is indeed dead, and there is no sign of corpse change.So what caused it to make noise?Zhang Yi's gaze first scanned it up and down carefully, and then turned to the ground where it was lying on its stomach before.

"Ah Shao, lower the candle," he said.

Nan Shao understood what he meant, and put the candle flame in his hand close to the ground.

An imperceptible gap appeared in the light, and the two looked at each other, knowing it clearly.

Zhang Yi walked over and moved the corpse to the side, so the gap became more obvious. At first glance, it looked like a square about one square meter in size.I don't know if they noticed something, but the previous bang bang sound disappeared without a trace, as if it was their illusion.

"I'll do it." Seeing Zhang Yi knocking on the floor with the handle of the knife and hearing a sound, he turned the knife around and put the tip of the knife into the gap, ready to pry the floor up, Nan Shao said quickly .

Zhang Yi shook his head, exerted force on his wrist, the corner of the floor was pried up, and he could vaguely see a dark mass below, not solid, but empty.

The floor was not as heavy as he had imagined. He clasped it with one finger, put the knife aside, and lifted it up easily with both hands at the same time.A strong stench rushed up, and at the same time, a dark hole appeared.

Not the rancid smell of zombies.He was sure and glanced at Nan Shao.

Nan Shao, who was always by the side and ready to respond at any time, received his gaze, and immediately moved over with a candle, and shone into the cave.Then they saw a pair of eyes.

is a person.No, it was two, but one was looking up at them, while the other was crouching in a dark corner with his head buried, and he couldn't find it unless he looked carefully.

The one with her head up is a woman in her thirties or forties. Because she is dirty and thin, she may look a little older.The previous noise should have been made by her trying to push the floor away, but she didn't have the strength to do so, so she didn't make it.The squatting one looks small in stature, so I'm afraid he's not very old.

The woman was staring vigilantly and terrified at the top, but because she was in the dark for a long time, she was illuminated by the candlelight, so she squinted her eyes subconsciously. When she opened her eyes and saw that there was a person above, the fear in her eyes subsided a lot. There is a little more surprise.

"A person? Is it a person?" I don't know if she was too excited, or a little confused because of claustrophobia. When she opened her mouth, she felt that her thoughts were a little messy.

"Yes, we are living people." Zhang Yi couldn't judge her mental state for the time being, so he answered as softly as possible, but his tone was very sincere and determined.

"Then...then..." The woman seemed to want to ask something, but she was a little scared. She turned around for the last time, picked up the small figure squatting on the ground, and handed it out.

Zhang Yi glanced at it, and found that it was a child about seven or eight years old, very thin, with drooping eyelids, but breathing, so he could be sure that he was alive, so he reached out to catch it.Then he pulled the woman up.

The woman clutched a small half-cloth pocket with one hand, but she couldn't tell what it was.Nan Shao shone the candle into the cave again, and found that the space inside was actually not that big. The two of them could only sit, squat or stand in it, and they couldn't even lie down. As if dug out hastily.

Zhang Yi returned the floor to its original position, and as soon as the woman came up, she rushed to the side of the corpse, pushed it a few times, "Dacheng! Dacheng..." He called out several times, feeling that the person was frozen hard, and there was no possibility of life Sex, got up again and staggered to run outside.

And the child squatted silently beside the corpse, saying nothing, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

After a while, a mournful cry suddenly came from outside, which was extremely ear-piercing in the surrounding silence.Zhang Yi and Nan Shao went out and saw the woman kneeling in front of a pile of dead bodies, crying so hard that she almost fainted.

"My God, why don't you give me a way out..."

Amidst the cuckoo's weeping like blood, a short sentence of accusation seemed so powerless and helpless.

Zhang Yi, who was calm and almost indifferent when he was packing up the corpses before, was stabbed in a sensitive nerve by this sentence for some reason. Scenes after the end of the world came to his mind, corpses, animals and plants mutated, climate Abnormalities, the tide of corpses and beasts, Lin An's ferocity, the struggle of human beings, the wailing of despair... those things that he thought had been buried in his memory as he adapted to the end of the world seemed to wake up all of a sudden. The sound of the trumpet reminded him that human suffering has never disappeared because of adaptation, it has always existed, and it will jump out from time to time to find a sense of existence.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't comfort the woman at all, let alone Nan Shao, the two could only stand far away, watching the scene silently.

Zhang Ruiyang and Lan Lan clawed at the door frame, looking at the children in the house for a while, and the woman crying miserably outside, all of them unconsciously began to cry.

Fortunately, this is not the first time for a woman to experience this kind of pain. After venting fiercely for a while, she wiped away her tears, stood up unsteadily, and walked back.

"Thank you." She said hoarsely, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her hands and feet were weak, but she started to clean up the corpses of the remaining two houses.

It's just that he ran into trouble when he was carrying the corpse named Dacheng in the house. The child who had been squatting silently next to the corpse threw himself on the corpse and hugged him tightly to prevent them from being carried out. No matter who persuaded him, it was useless.

Of course, Zhang Yi and the others had means to force the child to let go, but they didn't do so, but turned their heads to clean up other places.

Originally, they planned to dig a hole first and bury the corpses before finding a house to rest.But when she saw the corpse being dragged, the woman fell into the snow several times, she was very weak, but she was too stubborn to stop, so after lifting the corpse from the last building to the open space, she found a comparison A clean house with a fire for cooking.

While eating, the child still crouched next to the dead body, neither letting anyone touch the dead body nor eating.Zhang Yi and the others had no choice. When they were considering whether to take tough measures, Lan Lan, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, spoke.

"Where is your father?" She pointed to a place not far from the corpse, where there was a tattered puppy puppet.This puppet existed before, but no one cared.

Hearing her words, both Zhang Yi and Nan Shao paused, thinking that the girl had fallen ill again.However, to their surprise, the child, who had always been indifferent to everything around him except for not allowing the corpse to be moved, moved his eyes, and his eyes fell on the blood-soaked puppy puppet.After a while, he raised his head and looked at Lan Lan questioningly.

Lan Lan nodded affirmatively and said, "He's right there."

There was a rare hint of a smile on the child's wooden face, but he quickly restrained himself. He crawled over with his hands on the ground, and picked up the puppy doll, which was not too dirty, just like that into my arms.

This time Nan Shao and Zhang Yi went to move the corpse again, but he didn't stop him, but followed quietly.

"We escaped from Yundong City. Many people died along the way. We don't know where there is a government shelter. We couldn't walk here. Let's clean up these houses together. , I built the fence, and I have a place to live." During the meal, the woman talked about the past, and she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Her name is Jiang Hong, she is 29 years old, and she was a white-collar worker in a foreign-funded enterprise before the end of the world. She was married and had a baby who just turned one year old.My husband was my first love in college. The relationship between the couple is very good. Both of them have high incomes. They have a house and a car. They have nothing to worry about. If there is no apocalypse, they are planning to have a second child. It can be said that they are a model of a happy family.

But the end of the world happened, the baby turned into a zombie, the husband was bitten unprepared, and when he found that he had turned into a corpse, he jumped off the top floor holding the baby who had turned into a zombie.Parents on both sides also failed to escape that disaster.In one day, her family was ruined and the world changed drastically. If it was someone with a weaker personality, she would have committed suicide in grief and despair. The flames smashed fiercely at the instigator of all this.

So she survived, and rushed out of the city with a group of survivors gathered in the community, joining more survivors.They fled Yundong City, trying to find a shelter established by the government or the army.However, in the early days of the end of the world, Yundong did not organize any rescue operations, not to mention the shelters, and even the rescue forces of the establishment were not seen.

In the process of fleeing the city, many people died, and when they were stuck on the expressway, many more died. In the end, they had to abandon the car and get off the expressway, and proceeded along the provincial road.Just walking all the way and killing people all the way, when we arrived here, there were only a hundred people left of the original more than 300 people.

No one wants to go forward anymore, or they are afraid, because they are afraid because there is no hope, because there is a county town in the past, and there will be a lot of zombies in it, so they stay here.

There are only a few houses here, and few people are at home in the last days. For them who fought all the way here, it is simply a piece of pure land.

They cleaned up a few zombies and settled down here. While working hard to stay alive, they tried to inquire about the government's news, and later took in a few waves of passing survivors.There are not many people, only three or five in each wave.

There are villages and county towns nearby. The distance is not very close, but it is not so far that it takes a few days to run.Later, they bought a few more cars and drove them to collect supplies. When they gradually got used to fighting zombies, they could live on.It's just that there has been no news from the government and the army, and gradually everyone has given up hope.

However, just when everyone thought that the situation was so bad that it would not get worse, and that the days to come would continue to live like this, the climate changed, and the animals and plants mutated.Because there was no psychological preparation in advance, and the mutated animals and plants were extremely cruel, many people died one after another during that encounter, and when they finally got used to it, there were only about fifty people left.This is thanks to the training of killing zombies for half a year, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no survivors left.

Even if Jiang Hong was full of hatred, she was exhausted by the reality. If she wanted to take revenge, could she still seek revenge from God?The grief of losing a loved one at the beginning has become numb in the blow after blow, leaving only the instinct to survive.After the second disaster, she partnered with a man with a child.

The man's name is Zhao Dacheng. After the apocalypse, his strength has suddenly become very strong. His strength is at the middle level in the entire team. Not to mention very strong, but he also led his son through two disasters.Jiang Hong herself has also awakened supernatural powers, but let alone a woman, even a man, at such a time, as long as the strength is not strong enough to have a companion to support, the situation is completely incomparable to being alone.

After the apocalypse, the relationship between people has become simple and realistic. It is either bullying or exchanging benefits, or relying on each other for warmth. As for feelings, it is not to say that there is no such thing, but it is definitely the least important thing. Who really wants it? It is definitely a joke to use this as a standard to find a partner.

After Jiang Hong and Zhao Dacheng were together, it was much easier to have someone take care of her when she went out.As for helping to take care of the child, Zhao Dacheng's son is seven or eight years old. He does everything by himself, dressing and eating, and he is not mischievous. He only needs to pay attention to his safety and does not bother.

Just like that, they survived under several attacks from zombies, mutated creatures and severe cold weather.Life is bitter, and there is nothing to look forward to, but no one wants to die if they can live.

Who knew that just kneeling on the ground like this, hunching their waists, and burying their faces in the dust, God still didn't want to give them a way out.

"When a group went out to pull coal, they encountered a mutated zombie. Several people died, and finally escaped. Who knew that the zombie would touch this place." I don't know if it was tempered in the precarious life. , Jiang Hong kept talking non-stop, but she didn't miss the meal, and at the same time, she didn't forget to take care of the children of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family’s child is called Zhao Xin, and Jiang Hong didn’t know whether he was more introverted and silent before the end of the world, or he became like this after the end of the world, but the child is good and does not cause trouble, whether it is for the parents or the whole team It's a good thing to say.As for whether he has a mental illness, even whether he can survive is a question, who cares about it.

"That zombie is about [-] meters tall. It's strong, strong, and flexible. I don't see any special abilities, but its skin is thick and hard, and it can't be cut at all..." Speaking of the attacking zombie The mutated zombies in the settlement, Jiang Hong's eyes showed a look of fear. "Everyone has exhausted their means, and people are dying one by one, but there is nothing they can do about it." Her tears fell down again and fell into the rice bowl.

Maybe it's because of the existence of his son, maybe it's because of his natural insecurity, Zhao Dacheng is secretly digging the basement, which is the one in the storage room.There are not many people in the settlement, but there are even fewer places to live. There are six or seven people in a house.This is after the rainstorm.Before the heavy rain, more than a dozen or 20 people had to be crammed into each house to barely accommodate them.

Zhao Dacheng dug without telling others, and usually he had to go out to collect materials, and he also had to carefully handle the soil he dug out, so he dug very slowly.It wasn't really finished until something happened.But even so, it still saved her and his son's life.

Of course, it was not only the unfinished pit that saved the two of them, but also his blood and life.

During the period of hiding in the pit, Jiang Hong thought more than once that he actually wanted to kill her at that time, but he didn't know why he didn't do it, but pushed her into the pit instead.

If he had enough time, he could drag a corpse over to replace him.But there is no time.So he could only use cruel methods to spray his own blood to cover up their aura.

Perhaps it is not necessary to use suicide as a method, and there may be a better way, but at that time the only thing he could think of was to protect his son in this extremely tragic way.As for Jiang Hong, it was just incidental.

Zhang Yi and Nan Shao spent the whole afternoon digging a big hole outside the wall where the vegetable field should have been, and then carried the corpses into it.

"Dacheng, don't worry, as long as I have breath, I won't wrong Zhao Xin." Perhaps out of the desire to repay, Jiang Hong gritted her teeth and dug a hole for Zhao Dacheng alone, and dragged him into it by herself. , Kneeling by the pit and said.

Zhao Xin squatted beside her, neither crying nor looking at the dead body of his father lying in the pit, all his attention was on the puppy puppet he was holding in his hand, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Zhao Xin, come and say a few words to your father." After Jiang Hong finished speaking, she turned her head and called Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin didn't respond at all.

Jiang Hong sighed and began to fill the pit with soil.Not to mention such a child, even she, feeling Zhao Dacheng's blood leaking from the cracks in the floor, and hearing his breathless hoot before he died, couldn't bear it, let alone his own father and son.

In fact, she and Zhao Dacheng don't have much relationship. They just get what they need when they are together. When necessary, in order to survive, it is not impossible to kick each other away.However, at the last moment, Zhao Dacheng chose to leave the way of life to her, which made her feel pain again in her numb heart that was tortured by life.

Maybe it was too late, or maybe she was afraid that she would resist and procrastinate so that the success would fall short. No matter what reason Zhao Dacheng didn't choose to do anything to her at that time, of course, if he really wanted to sacrifice her to save their father and son, she would definitely not Will sit still.But anyway, he made the choice and she survived, that's the truth.

So she owes them father and son.She has to pay it back.

The mud mixed with the remaining snow was sprinkled on the corpse, covering it layer by layer, and finally formed two slopes, one big and one small.A wind blew across the field, blowing unknown mutated plants, making a desolate and distant whistling sound like an ancient xun, as if sending a funeral song for the lives lost in this land.

"Why don't you sleep?" After dinner, everyone else was asleep. Seeing Zhang Yi standing with his arms folded against the eaves, Nan Shao didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked over and untied the scarf around his neck and wrapped it around him , while grabbing his somewhat cold hand and putting it in his pocket, he asked.

Nan Shao kept watch first, followed by Lan Lan and Jiang Hong, and then Zhang Yi.Usually Zhang Yi has gone to bed right now, but today he seemed to be out of his mind, and he didn't stay in the room. He just stood outside at minus [-] to [-] degrees, blowing the cold wind. It's no wonder he was fine.

Snow flakes are sandwiched by the cold wind, and snowflakes are falling in large quantities, making people wonder when such a day will be a day.
