Wild grow

A high-end residential complex in the District of Columbia

In the dim room, only one switch was turned on, and from the direction of the restaurant came the rustling sound of rodents chewing food...

In the living room, in the shadows, the woman was leaning against the telephone stand in the corridor alone. Her facial expression was numb due to fear or shock, and her hands, which seemed to be taken care of on weekdays, were trembling at this moment. She could hardly hold the receiver of the phone—even though the other side of the phone had been hung up at this time and there was a busy tone, she still kept the handset close to her ear for a long time. After about 10 minutes, she put it down stiffly He picked up the receiver and pulled the shawl on his body.

[Mrs. Wilson?Hello.This is the command center of the Washington Special Incident Handling Department, and the incident messenger with the number ll4812724 is talking to you——We are currently doing the aftermath of the failure of the "Green Source Crystal Destruction Plan". Based on our observations in the past half an hour, we found that " The huge energy released by the "Green Source Crystal" after the failure to destroy it may cause a small number of people to mutate, we call it "berserker" or "infected"...]

"it's too cold."

In the living room, the firewood in the fireplace is burning and crackling, the flames are strong. Although the floor heating has partially failed, if you stay on the first floor, the fireplace is enough to provide enough warmth for the home...

[The initial performance of this infected person is that they are not afraid of the cold, and their physical fitness is usually three times or more that of ordinary people...]

The beating woman suddenly felt that she was getting colder again. She muttered "I need to add some materials" and moved towards the fireplace, passing the sofa on the way. Passing by the sofa and coming to the fireplace, she bent down and picked up the tongs. After some hesitation, she stretched out her hand to the only wall lamp beside the fireplace——

click.

The dim light slightly illuminated the living room. Standing in the light, the woman had not had time to let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, two loud noises of "bang" and "pop" came from the dining room, which startled her. She subconsciously slumped against the wall, and at the same time he heard her son's voice from the dining room—

"Mom, didn't I tell you not to turn on the light? It's too bright, I hate it."

"I'm sorry, Joan, just turn it off, Mom." The woman stretched out her hand tremblingly, trying to turn off the wall lamp, but she was probably too nervous and afraid, and she failed to turn off the light after several attempts. Afterwards, she had to use My elbow hit the switch of the wall lamp—then there was another soft "click", and the whole living room was once again plunged into darkness.

[But they may hate light sources. 】

There was a contented sigh from the dining room, and the chewing sounded again.

The woman moved her body cautiously, and walked slowly to the restaurant. Standing at the door of the restaurant, she saw the mess in the restaurant at a glance—the table was full of fruit peels and nuts that were gnawed to pieces; spilled milk cans, Milky white liquid is dripping from the table onto the clean and tidy floor; bread crumbs, emptied pizza boxes, hollowed out jams, and knives and forks covered with unknown food and thrown aside...

At the end of the table, a black shadow is curled up, and the strange and fast chewing sound is coming from there at this moment... When the eyes get used to the darkness, look at the black shadow carefully, and you can squat on the chair right now It was a strong boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. At this time, he was opening the paper-packed minced meat for meat sauce, and frantically stuffed the raw minced meat into his mouth——

[They may have unsatisfied hunger and devour all food that can be put in their mouths, whether it is vegetables, fruits or raw meat. At first it is just hunger, and in the end they will fall into uncontrollable madness and put everything that can be eaten into their mouths Middle... Such paranoia about food makes them very aggressive—]

After a long time, the boy seemed to feel the gaze projected from outside the restaurant, he stopped chewing and raised his head.

The woman standing outside the restaurant was taken aback. When she looked at those green pupils in the dark, she had to force herself to smile and ask, "What's the matter, dear?"

"Mom, there's not enough food." Joan put down the empty raw meat, "Is there any bacon at home? I like bacon best, maybe I can use them to eat with bread..."

The woman looked at her son with the same smile.

That familiar face, she has watched her growing body step by step in the past 17 years——

After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind. The previously tense muscles on her face relaxed, and she showed a real smile: "There is no more at home, but I know that the supermarket at the end of the street is still open. Dear Joan, can you wait for Mommy, I'll go out and buy it for you, there's some pears in the fridge until then—"

In the end, she swallowed all her words in her throat because of fear. The door of the refrigerator had been opened. The teenager who was sitting at the dining table a second ago had squatted in front of the refrigerator for some reason. He took out the pear and put it to his mouth, revealing that Senbai's teeth "clicked" and bit off a large piece of pear meat...

"Mom, will you hate me just because I accidentally offended you just now?"

"How come, dear Joan, you are my son, how can I hate you?"

The woman turned around with a smile on her face, and when she returned to the living room, she didn't immediately change her clothes and go out as she said—on the contrary, she just slowly sat on the sofa, the pile of blood stained In the middle of her school uniform——in the darkness, she curled up her body, put her arms on her knees, and desperately bit the flesh on her arms to force herself not to make a single sound, only her body trembling slightly , Tears poured out of her eyes desperately...

[The most obvious feature of this kind of infected people is that their eyes will turn green after infection. If there are patients with the above symptoms at home, in order to ensure your safety, please inform the headquarters immediately and find a reason to leave home. 】

[We will send staff to inject the detoxification serum for your family members later, at present we have equipped each family with a detoxification serum for each person——]

The woman stood up and took the bag on the coffee table for going out. She walked to the hanger and took off the expensive mink coat and wrapped it around her body. While wrapping the mink coat on her body, she As if subconsciously humming——

"Who killed the mockingbird? I, said the sparrow, I killed the mockingbird, with my bow and arrow. Who saw him die? It was I, said the fly, with my little eyes, I saw him Death... who will make his mourning clothes? I, said the mother, and I will make mourning clothes for him—"

The woman opened the door and walked to the corridor, as if she was afraid that the boy at home would catch a cold. She turned around and closed the door carefully, tightly holding the small bag in her hand. In Baixue's courtyard... She stood in the middle of Baixue, reached into her bag, and took out a small and black metal substance from it——

After about three seconds of silence.

Bah!

The gunshot cut through the howling wind, and the snow fell from the withered pine trees.

The woman in a fancy dress fell in the snow, and bright red blood spread under her body—the coat slipped off her body, and under the coat, the warm home clothes that were next to her body were covered with shocking red, Only the piece on the shoulder was torn apart as if it had been attacked by a wild beast, and the dry dark red blurred the original print of the home clothes.

……

central street in washington dc

This is the first day of the new year.

Walking on the deserted street, 90.00% of the five shops on the street have been closed and no longer closed for business. The street is empty, let alone pedestrians. Compared with the bustling driveway a few days ago, now even There is no car left: In such a cold day, when the car is driven out, it will immediately malfunction due to the freezing of the water tank. People who rely on modern technology for transportation can only choose to stay at home honestly at this time.

On the empty sidewalk, under the eaves, there is only a young man in a coat walking forward quickly—because every time he has to pull his legs out of the snow and take another step, his steps It doesn't look very relaxed... In contrast, the white-haired boy who followed behind him looked much more relaxed: in such a cold weather, he was only wearing two thin clothes, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked. It seemed to be careless, but those red pupils stared at the person walking in front of him without blinking——

When the person in front accidentally shakes because of the frozen ice on the side of the road, he can always reach out and grab him in time to prevent him from falling.

Then the hand that just gave help will be ruthlessly thrown away immediately.

Fortunately, Enoch never got tired of it, and of course he also knew that there was a reason why the guy walking in front was so annoyed at his help—after Fushen almost fell and was held up by him for the first time, this person would obviously still He muttered "thank you", but after Enoch said "you look so cute when you wobble" secretly, he didn't even have to listen to "thank you".

The two of them walked a few steps forward in an atmosphere that was lower than the low temperature. Enoch, who was walking behind, kept silent, but he could clearly hear the breathing rate, heartbeat and body temperature of the person walking in front of him throughout the whole process. temperature, when he realized that every step taken by the person in front was considered a bravado, he stretched out his hand from his pocket and snapped his fingers——the next second, red light spots converged, and a red spot appeared on his shoulder. only crow.

The crow flapped its wings, and then, like a bullet, it shattered the iron door in front of a convenience store next to them—with a loud bang, a big hole was knocked out of the heavy iron door At the same time, Fushen who was walking in front was also taken aback. He turned around, only to find that the people who had been following him obediently had stopped. Pushing the door open, he was just about to walk in, but he took two steps back as if remembering something, walked up to Fushen who was not far away, grabbed his elbow, and then, regardless of his objection, pulled him away. Drag it into Le Convenience Store——

"What are you doing?!"

"Don't force yourself if you can't walk anymore, don't talk about saving Fatty, if you walk another 50 meters, you will be frozen to death on this street—ah, there is heating, munin, you have good eyesight."

Being praised by the master, the crow squatting on his shoulders flapped its wings and made a triumphant cry.

The two stood firm in the warm convenience store, and the rising temperature around them immediately stained Fushen's pale face with a nice pink color—of course, this was all Enoch's own thoughts, in fact, He had to admit that maybe this "pretty pink" was somewhat angry...

"What are you? Burglary?!" Fu Shen stared at the white-haired boy in front of him.

The latter lazily reached into the incubator, took out a bottle of still warm drink, threw it to Fushen, and at the same time took out a handful of cash that he did not know where he got it, and slapped it on the cash register: "Here Money, okay?"

Fu Shen: "..."

Enoch: "Your heartbeat is back to normal, your body can recover to its best after drinking a hot drink, and we can walk to school in one breath."

Fushen held the warm drink in his hands, neither putting it down nor drinking it.

Enoch sighed: "What's the trouble? This store will never open again—if we don't come in today, people will break into the door tomorrow. The few stores we passed just now are in this state. Didn't you Found? Munin smashed the door and the alarm did not go off, this store has been abandoned, if the iron gate in front is not thick enough, it would have been looted long ago—”

Fu Shen showed a relaxed expression.

"The temperature outside is minus 43 degrees. Do you know what the concept is? Even if you destroy the green crystal immediately and find a way to bring the sun back, the possibility of human civilization returning to the previous level is lower than what you said to me in a pleasant way—"

Fu Shen: "..."

Enoch whistled: "I love this metaphor so much, it's so vivid."

Fushen came back to his senses, and glared at Enoch: "Do you really need to be beaten up for speaking?"

"Well, when I stand in front of you and find that I have to lower my head slightly to see you, I can hardly restrain the urge to play with you-this must be something wrong with the program you injected with me before, I I don’t think I belong to the Electra group, that’s too perverted—”

"You also know that you are a pervert." Fu Shen sighed, he turned his head and glanced hesitantly at the big bills that Enoch put on the cash register, and calculated that the money should be enough to repair the broken door and With the money for this can of drink, he still seemed to compromise in the end, unable to resist the temperature from the can in his palm, he opened the can and poured the warm liquid into his mouth——

At this time, the sweet drink seems to have a magical effect.

The viscera, which had been sore from the cold just a second ago, seemed to relax instantly. Fushen found a chair and sat down. Just as he sat firmly, another piece of chocolate was stuffed into his mouth——he made two "woo hoots" In the end, he still couldn't hold back the fingers that were pressed against his lips and refused to move away, and finally opened his mouth to swallow the piece of chocolate.

"Is it delicious?" Enoch asked with a smile.

"..."

Fu Shen lowered his head and said nothing, chewing the chocolate in his mouth with his back molars unnecessarily.

"I found the joy of raising pets, you said Zhao Heng, can they let me raise a dog-ah, although dogs may become cherished animals in the near future... I like Siberian Husky, I hope they don't become extinct too soon " Enoch leaned against him and chanted a bunch of nonsense, during which time he didn't forget to keep breaking the piece of chocolate in his hand into small pieces and stuffing them into Fushen's mouth——

Fushen kept his head down throughout the whole process, listening to Enoch's chatter, until this guy suddenly paused and asked a question——

"Dr. Chu, I actually have another question I want to ask you."

"?"

Fushen looked up at Enoch strangely.

"Before you came out, why did you make a special phone call and tell Zhao Heng that when you asked him to contact the families of those students, you emphasized that each family is only equipped with one antidote serum?"

"..." The young man who was questioned showed a blank expression for a moment, and after a long time, he said calmly, "Is it difficult to understand? If you just say that there is detoxification serum, those people will think, 'Anyway, it can detoxify, so I will stay with me now. It’s not a big deal to be around the children. The big deal is to inject the detoxification serum together at that time’ and then stay with the infected person regardless of persuasion. The consequences will be quite troublesome at that time-our purpose is to let them leave the infected person’s side immediately. .”

"Ah." Enoch showed a dazed expression, "So that's the case, I didn't expect it."

Although Enoch's tone of speaking was praiseful, Fushen did not show the slightest joy of being praised—as if it was completely natural for him to think so.

There was a moment of silence in the convenience store.

a long time.

When the crow standing next to the popcorn machine and pecking at the popcorn flapped its wings and flew to the owner's shoulder to stand firm, Enoch rolled up the chocolate wrappers in his hand and threw them on the shelf: "Chu Doctor, although I'm not a human being, I think it's better to remind you - measuring human emotions and the so-called cause and effect in an overly calm way may cause serious trouble."

Fushen raised his head and looked at Enoch inexplicably.

The latter smiled: "It's nothing, didn't you go to find that fat man, let's go."
