stay in the wasteland

Chapter 31

[Warm reminder: This plot comes from abroad, the short film "Moving forward with a heavy load" in the Resident Evil series]
……

Turn the time axis and go back to seven hours ago.

At a distance of more than 20 kilometers from the gathering place.

The father of the deserter stopped, panting.

At this moment, his whole body was slightly red, his eyes were bloodshot, and every time he breathed, there was a trace of rancid smell in his mouth, which was a sign of an impending mutation.

babbling... yay...

Hearing his daughter's voice behind him, the deserter father gritted his teeth and said:
"Tiao Tiao, Dad will definitely let you live."

After speaking, he took out a few things from his belongings and started making tools.

First, he used a small helium device and filled it with a pink balloon, which he bought from someone else in the residence in order to amuse his daughter.

After the balloon was inflated, the deserter tied it to his left shoulder, then took out the smelly piece of rotten meat, put it into a plastic bag, and hung it on the front end of a wooden stick.

Of course, several holes must be made in the plastic bag, so that the smell of carrion can spread out.

In the same operation, the wooden stick was tightly tied to the right shoulder, so that the bag of rotten meat was always at the forefront. Once he mutated into a ferocious ghoul, he would be attracted by the rotten meat and keep moving forward.

No way, even if he tried his best, he was still halfway away from the gathering place of the 'Magic City'.

He could only use this method to make himself move towards the gathering place after the mutation.

After tying up balloons and wooden sticks, the father of the deserter took charcoal and wrote a sentence on his arm, and finally tied his hands tightly with a rope, in order not to hurt his daughter.

Soon, everything will be ready.

The deserter's father carried his daughter on his back and continued walking towards the gathering place.

The balloon floating on his left shoulder is not only a signal, but also represents hope, and the bag of carrion on the stick on his right shoulder...

Obviously a bait.

Instead, the baby girl, half-wrapped behind her back, was wearing a dust mask, her big blue eyes were flickering at the pink balloon, and she was moving her little hand, making a yapping sound.

The voice of the daughter is the source of motivation for this father.

But with the passage of time, as he kept moving forward, his consciousness gradually became a little blurred, and at the same time, a bloodthirsty desire appeared in his heart, and the bag of carrion on the wooden stick seemed to have infinite attraction.

In this way, he continued to move forward in the direction pointed by the wooden stick.

Carrion as a guide, balloons as a letter, bound hands, entangled on foot...

jump jump...

All this is because I don't want to give up on you.

Soon, in an hour.

Roar! ~
The deserter's father let out a roar and completely transformed into a bloodthirsty creature.

he……

It has changed.

……

Chen Ya and his friends got out of the elevator and quickly passed through the security check at the east gate. The five of them came to the wasteland world beyond the wall.

ze... ze...

[Current radiation value: 0.74Sv]

However, the Geiger counter in Chen Ya's hand jumped several times, and the final radiation value was more than 700 mSv.

The mode of the counter can be changed, using the largest unit, of course only a few tenths of a sievert.

But at this moment, Chen Ya and the other five stepped on the soft wasteland and headed straight for the slain ghoul.

Within three kilometers of the gathering place, it is relatively safe.

And compared to the wall, the radiation value will be lower, after all, it is farther away from the radiation cloud.

Not long after, Chen Ya and his friends came to the ghoul that was killed.

However, this dead ghoul had a hole pierced through its head, which was obviously caused by a laser gun.

From the physical characteristics, although the whole body turned red after the mutation, it can still be seen that before turning into a crazy ghoul, he should be a white race, that is, Europa and other races.

Seeing this scene, Big Nose couldn't bear to say:

"Damn it, it's so miserable."

But at this moment, Chen Ya was staring at the corpse of the crazy ghoul and found that in addition to balloons and a wooden stick with rotten flesh tied to his shoulders, his hands were also tightly tied with ropes.

"This is……"

Chen Ya was a little dazed until a voice sounded from behind the corpse.

babbling... yay...

"Someone?"

Chen Ya stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to push aside the fabric, and then saw a pair of pure and flawless eyes.

It was a baby girl wearing a dust mask, and she was looking at Chen Ya intently at this moment. Although she couldn't see the baby girl's appearance clearly, her sapphire-like eyes were like angels.

This kind of gaze directly hits the soul.

boom! !

Chen Ya's head exploded, and he understood everything in an instant.

"Wow, what a beautiful child."

Zilin's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward to push Chen Ya away, reached out and hugged the baby girl, then teased the baby girl with a smile, and at the same time said doubtfully:

"Why is she on the back of a mad ghoul?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, Chen Ya took a deep breath, looked at the corpse on the ground and said silently:

"If I'm not mistaken, this ferocious ghoul should be her... father."

Father?

The four friends were dumbfounded.

At this moment, Chen Ya also found the message on the corpse's arm, which immediately confirmed his guess.

On it, there was a sentence written crookedly with charcoal:

[Save my daughter, her name is Tiao Tiao]

Chen Ya read out the words, then pointed to the balloon and wooden stick on the corpse and said:

"Carrion as a guide, balloons as a letter, bind your hands, entangle yourself on foot, and move forward with a load."

so desperate...

All to save his daughter.

Father as a mountain!

Chen Ya's eyes turned red.

There's no way, he's too old to see this kind of situation, after all, he was also a fast runner in his previous life.

And the other four little friends burst into tears when they heard these words.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pitiful!"

The tears of Zilin and Bingjiaomei kept overflowing like a kite that was disconnected.

"Wow, wow, I really want to have such a father."

Niu Pi cried loudly, after all, they are all orphans without father and mother. Seeing such a father who is willing to sacrifice for his daughter, he naturally feels extremely envious.

Apart from Chen Ya, only Big Nose, who had experienced the care of his parents, was in a slightly better mood.

"Monkey, let's bury him?"

Alex asked, Chen Ya nodded in agreement, then took down the balloon, and the five dug a hole nearby to bury the body.

Not long after, Zilin held the baby girl in her arms, and the five of them planned to return.

Before leaving, Chen Ya looked at the small grave and said:

"You are a good father and your daughter...will live."

"rest in peace."

After Chen Ya finished speaking, he returned to the gathering place with his friends.

The first time I went out of the city, I even picked up a baby girl.

This was completely unexpected, and the identity of the baby girl was not difficult to guess, most likely it was a desolate wandering outside the gathering place.

Chen Ya knew a little bit about the desolate people.

As of now, the gathering place does not accept the desolate people, because they are difficult to control, but if it is a child under ten years old, even if it is a descendant of the desolate people, the gathering place is very happy to accept it.

After all, children are a blank slate, as long as they grow up in the gathering place, they will naturally obey the rules.

So, it's not a problem for the baby girl 'Top' to join the gathering.

And this accident also made Chen Ya feel extremely shocked, it was a shock from the soul.

On the one hand, it is the cruelty of the wasteland world, and on the other hand, it is human emotion.

For the sake of his daughter, a father can leave everything behind.

This is……

The power of affection!
