Two thousand and thirteen

Ou Zeyang held the umbrella rope tightly with both hands and looked down. The scene on the ground became clearer and clearer, and a group of zombies with teeth and claws appeared in front of him!

God!This angle... isn't it about to fall into the crowd of zombies? !

Damn!Dying to die!Who will save me! ! !

Ou Zeyang's legs began to tremble uncontrollably, remembering the scene where he was sent to the crowd of zombies and was torn and swallowed, his whole body was like being drenched in a basin of ice water.

The zombie was getting closer and closer to him, and there was a faint wail, I don't know if it was a hallucination or something.Ou Zeyang closed his eyes in despair. In the chaos, Lai Jie's stubborn face appeared in his mind, dirty, but his eyes were black and bright, looking at him like that...

No... I don't want to die yet...

Suddenly there was a whistling sound in his ear, followed by a pair of powerful arms hugging him, warm and strong.He opened his eyes in a daze, but what he saw was white and he couldn't see clearly.

who is it? !

Ou Zeyang's heart constricted, and he turned his head eagerly to see the man's appearance clearly, but his vision froze and his speed slowed down.

After a while, both feet finally stepped on the solid ground, and in an instant, the heart hanging in mid-air returned to the original place.

"Relax, kid." A familiar voice came, "Skydiving syndrome..."

The umbrella cloth was lifted, and the bright light made him dizzy for a while.

"Ou Zeyang?! Why are you?!"

Ou Zeyang looked at Lai Jie blankly. Compared with the last time we met, Lai Jie seemed to have lost a lot of weight, with thin cheeks, well-proportioned muscles, and sun-tanned skin.

"Speak clearly!" Lai Jie said, "What are you doing here? Do you think it's for fun?!"

"I asked to join." Ou Zeyang stood up, "Brother Jie, I want to help you..."

"What can you help?" Lai Jie said angrily, "I put so much effort into sending you into the high seas just because you came here to die again?!"

"I don't have one!" Ou Zeyang said aggrievedly, "My brother died. I have no relatives or friends in the high seas. I can't think of who to go to..."

Lai Jie fell silent for a while, then unwrapped Ou Zeyang's umbrella.

"We'll talk about this later." Lai Jie walked to the edge and glanced down, "Let's find a way to get out of this damn place... Damn, there are so many zombies!"

"Boss! How are you doing?" Another voice came from the communicator.

While arranging the equipment, Lai Jie said: "Everything went well, I successfully dragged that kid down..."

Ou Zeyang: "..."

Lai Jie glanced at his watch: "The bomb will detonate in fifteen minutes and fifty seconds, Li Yan, you evacuate as originally planned, and contact me after boarding the car!"

"understand!"

Lai Jie handed Ou Zeyang an HX Ray and a pistol, "From now on, everything is under my command, you are not allowed to act without authorization, you hear me?"

Ou Zeyang nodded repeatedly.

Lai Jie: "Will HX mines and pistols work? Try it."

Ou Zeyang nodded and demonstrated again.

Lai Jie came to the stairs and looked down for a while, then turned to Ou Zeyang and said, "There are too many zombies under the roof, so I can't break out with you. I'll go down first to lure the zombies away. You run in the opposite direction and go downstairs along the safe passage." .”

Then he took out a communicator and pinned it to Ou Zeyang, "Keep in touch at any time!"

Ou Zeyang: "Where can I wait for you?"

"There are ten floors here." Lai Jie licked his dry lips, "Two floors down, wait for me at the stairs on the eighth floor, don't run around."

Ou Zeyang nodded.

Lai Jie leaned out with half of his body, and said in a low voice: "I told you to run, and you run again. If there is any situation, I will contact you at any time."

Ou Zeyang: "Okay..."

Ou Zeyang watched in horror as Lai Jie rushed down the corridor, and the zombies rushed towards Lai Jie when they heard the noise!

"Boom—" The explosion followed by gunshots, and Lai Jie yelled in the communicator: "Run!"

"Got it!" Ou Zeyang replied, and ran downstairs.

The zombies downstairs all chased after Lai Jie after the noise just now. The corridor on Ou Zeyang's side was empty, and there was a strange silence.

There was a gunshot from the other end of the aisle, and Ou Zeyang was running fast in the empty aisle, his heart beating wildly as he glanced at the door of the black hole retreating along the side of the road from the corner of his eye.

Finally came to the safe passage, went down one floor, and turned the corner, Ou Zeyang was dumbfounded!

"Brother Jie!" Ou Zeyang said anxiously, "There is an iron gate halfway up here! It's locked and I can't get through!"

There was another series of gunshots over there, and the communicator rustled: "Use your hand to shoot mines, blow up the door, quick!"

Ou Zeyang complied, and took a few steps back to throw the HX thunder, when he suddenly felt a cold wind on the back of his neck, Ou Zeyang looked back, and a rotten face beyond recognition appeared in front of him!

"Ah!" Ou Zeyang yelled and hurriedly backed away, stumbled under his feet, and fell to the ground.The zombies rushed towards him with their rotten mouths open!

Ou Zeyang grabbed the pistol, "Bang!" The zombie's mouth was smashed, and he fell to the ground and twitched.Ou Zeyang got up tremblingly, and shot another bullet in the head before giving up.

"Answer me! Ou Zeyang!" Lai Jie's anxious voice came from the communicator.

Only then did he realize that he was too nervous just now, and Lai Jie yelled a few times without responding.

"I'm... I'm..." Ou Zeyang panted slightly.

"What happened just now? Are you injured?!"

Ou Zeyang: "No... there was a zombie hiding in the corner, I beat it to death..."

He breathed a sigh of relief and urged, "Go downstairs quickly, I'll be there soon!"

Ou Zeyang quickly picked up the gun that fell on the ground, blew up the door, and went down the stairs to the eighth floor.

Sparks exploded from the other side of the corridor, and Lai Jie rolled over, avoiding the shock wave of the HX grenade, and rushed towards Ou Zeyang, chasing a dozen zombies behind him.

Ou Zeyang: "..."

Lai Jie: "Run! What are you doing in a daze!"

Lai Jie ran to Ou Zeyang's side in an instant, grabbed his arm and continued to rush downstairs!At the corner of the stairs, a grenade was thrown back, blowing up the dozens of zombies crowded in the corridor to pieces.

Lai Jie led the way, and Ou Zeyang followed, feeling a lot more at ease, as if as long as Lai Jie was around, there would be no danger.

There were a lot fewer zombies on the downstairs floors. With a gun, Lai Jie cleaned up all the zombies on the road and went down to the second floor smoothly.

The communicator rang: "Boss! I'm already in the car, am I coming to pick you up?"

Lai Jie: "Driving the car, park it at the back door! There are too many on the first floor, and we can't go through the front door!"

Li Yan: "Okay!"

Lai Jie signaled Ou Zeyang not to move on the stairs, and went downstairs lightly. He killed the zombies at the stairs with a few shots, and planted a time bomb towards the aisle leading to the back door.

Lai Jie waved to Ou Zeyang, protecting him and going around behind the wall.

There were gunshots and explosions outside the building. It was believed that Li Yan drove to the front of the building. Many zombies heard the movement and followed the sound to chase outside the hall.

"Hurry up!" There were still many scattered zombies in the hall, Lai Jie fired a few shots, rushed to the safe exit of the back door, blasted the door lock with one shot, and kicked open the iron gate.

With a screeching sound of brakes, Li Yan stopped not far away and crushed several zombies into the bottom of the car.

"Quick! Get in the car!" Li Yan opened the car window and shot at the zombies that rushed over.

Lai Jie grabbed Ou Zeyang's collar and rushed out.

There was a beeping sound in the building, and the bomb detonated, blowing up the chased zombies to pieces.Ou Zeyang was thrown down by Lai Jie, rolled on the ground, and was dragged and pushed to the front of the car.

Lai Jie: "Get in the car!"

Ou Zeyang hurriedly opened the car door, was pressed by Lai Jie, and rushed into the car.

With a bang, the HX thunder exploded, and Lai Jie jumped into the car door, shutting a zombie that was rushing out of the car door. Li Yan retracted his gun, and drove the armored car to hit countless zombies all the way, speeding away on the potholed road.

Li Yan drove the car and left the downtown area. Lai Jie looked at his watch and glanced out of the window. There was a dazzling light flashing, and then there was a loud noise like thunder.Ou Zeyang looked into the distance through the clump of trees, dumbfounded.

The building that escaped just now collapsed, followed by the two buildings next to it. The collapsed buildings brought dust all over the sky.It was as if a stone stirred up ripples, spreading like a sound wave, the reinforced concrete houses collapsed one after another, the ground was sunken, and everything was buried in the deep pit...

The gust of wind swept in, bringing the heavy body to a slight tilt.

Li Yan found a place to stop the car, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, Lai Jie was unusually silent. Ou Zeyang glanced cautiously at Lai Jie several times, hesitant to speak.

"Hi, my name is Li Yan." Li Yan left the driver's seat and patted Ou Zeyang's shoulder, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"Hi, my name is Ou Zeyang." Ou Zeyang looked at Lai Jie again.

Lai Jie took out a cigarette and took out a lighter to light it.

Li Yan: "This is our captain, Lai Jie."

Ou Zeyang nodded: "I know Brother Xiaojie."

Li Yan: "Really?"

Lai Jie took a deep breath, let out a long breath, and said, "When this task is completed, I will apply to send you back to the high seas."

"Why?!" Ou Zeyang was struck by lightning.

Lai Jie: "Why? You will only hold me back here, tell me what you can do?"

"I..." Ou Zeyang blushed, "My brother and I have learned martial arts, so I won't hold you back. I'm an electrician, so I can...help you blow up zombies and do logistics..."

Ou Zeyang's voice became smaller and smaller, indeed, what Lai Jie said was right, he just doesn't know anything.I have studied electrician for several years, and most of the time I have a tryst with Zhou Gong in class.During the half month of going to the high seas, although he studied hard and became familiar with the functions of some equipment, the theory was far from the reality, and it really made him operate completely blind... most likely it would only add to the confusion.

"I don't know how to learn..." Ou Zeyang whispered.

"Learning? What did you learn from?" Lai Jie smiled with a cigarette in his mouth. "The search and rescue team fights with zombies every day. Do you think it's just playing a game, and you can resurrect in place with full blood?"

Li Yan: "Boss, don't say that, he is also..."

"He's only 16 years old..." Lai Jie said meaningfully, got up and got out of the car door.

Li Yan sighed, and patted Ou Zeyang on the shoulder: "Don't take it to heart, the boss is just afraid that you will be in danger."

Ou Zeyang nodded and sat in a daze, Li Yan got up and got out of the car.

The sun is gradually setting, and the setting sun is glowing red, dyeing the earth golden.

Ou Zeyang got out of the car and found Lai Jie squatting and smoking not far away.

Ou Zeyang: "You can't just send me back, I came here voluntarily."

Lai Jie ignored him, staring at the fiery red clouds in the sky.

Ou Zeyang: "The headquarters will not approve it, and you are not the only one who has the final say on personnel transfer..."

Lai Jie twisted his cigarette butt and puffed, a little spark danced in the wind.

Ou Zeyang gritted his teeth and threw out his trump card: "You... If you must send me away, I will expose the fact that you sent me to the high seas for personal gain!"

Lai Jie stood up abruptly, threw the cigarette butt and kicked his foot, and looked at him dangerously.

Ou Zeyang was startled, took a step back, and whispered: "Of course, I won't say anything if you don't send me away."

Lai Jie nodded Ou Zeyang expertly: "Try it out and watch me beat you to death!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Ou Zeyang, turned around and left.

At night, Li Yan prepared a few cans and biscuits, and they ate them with water.

Ou Zeyang: "Have you been eating these?"

Li Yan: "Yeah, no one knows how to cook, can you?"

Ou Zeyang shook his head and asked again: "How did you join the Hurricane team? You don't look like a soldier?"

Li Yan: "I'm from the School of Political Science and Law. When the zombie wave just broke out, a police officer rescued me. Later, he and my friend died. I hid two people in the warehouse by myself. Yue, was found by the boss during the search and rescue."

Ou Zeyang: "Are you a college student? That's amazing! I only studied in a vocational high school, and I'm terrible at studying..."

Li Yan: "Don't say that, as long as it is useful to the society, even if you haven't read the book, it is still very powerful. The key is to look at your own heart."

Ou Zeyang nodded, swallowed the biscuit, and took a sip of water.

"By the way, are there only two of you left in the Hurricane team? I remember there was one last time."

Li Yan: "I haven't joined the team for a long time, so I don't know much about it." He said and looked at Lai Jie.

Lai Jie: "Did in the search and rescue operation before finding Li Yan, and was surrounded by zombies..."

Lai Jie took the biscuits and dug the can, thoughtfully: "There are too many zombies, the headquarters is very short-handed, and the situation of other teams is not much better. They are all carrying their heads and desperately fighting, and no one knows whether to see or not." Get tomorrow's sun. Eat more, at least you won't be a starving ghost if you die."

Ou Zeyang: "..."

Ou Zeyang thought of seeing a pig-headed and fat-brained zombie during the day, with a broken stomach, greasy fat and some food that hadn't been digested in time dripped out of it, emitting a stench, and couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"It's better not to eat too much..." Ou Zeyang said without thinking.

Lai Jie threw away the leftover cans and left with a gun.

Ou Zeyang: "Brother Jie, don't litter!"

Li Yan: "..."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Ou Zeyang and Li Yan got in the car to rest, and Lai Jie was on duty at night.

The Hurricanes were so small that one of the cars was left unoccupied.Before each mission, Lai Jie parked the transport vehicle and the rest vehicle in a safe place, and then drove the vehicle full of advanced instruments with Li Yan to wipe out the zombies.After the task is over, drive back to the place where the car is parked for a meal and rest.After receiving a new task, each of them drove one and dragged the extra car for transfer.

In the evening, Lai Jie and Li Yan changed shifts at three o'clock in the morning.

Ou Zeyang climbed onto a top bunk, and took out the Doraemon quilt he brought from his bag.

After autumn, the weather gradually cooled down. Ou Zeyang took off his shoes and socks, flung his coat to the end of the bed, and curled up under the quilt.

Until now, everything in front of me seems to be a dream.Groups of zombie students in the classroom, the crowded dock, the open sea center, and the army of zombies gathered in the building during the day, everything is so unreal.

Ou Zeyang hoped that after sleeping, he would open his eyes and find that everything was an absurd dream.His elder brother would also be furious because of his unsightly marks on the test paper, beat him up, and then the two of them wrestled together like crazy dogs...

It's a pity that the bastard brother who abandoned him can no longer beat him...

Ou Zeyang's eyes were slightly red, he stretched out his hand to rub it, and closed his eyes tiredly.Too many things happened today, he was already too sleepy, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the darkness, the deep panting sounded again.He ran in a panic in the darkness, but it seemed that he had a pair of eyes peeping at him from the corner, exuding a piercing chill.

elder brother……

elder brother!Where are you? !

A rotten zombie rushed over and strangled his throat, and the pain of suffocation instantly overwhelmed him.He gasped for breath and opened his eyes suddenly!

Still in the Hurricanes compartment...

In the silence, there was only his terrified panting.

Ou Zeyang touched his forehead, it was covered with sweat.He turned over and fell asleep face in, his eyes sore for a while.

useless……

Ou Zeyang thought to himself, sniffed and closed his eyes.

A slight sigh sounded from behind him, Ou Zeyang was shocked, he closed his eyes and dared not move.After a while, a pair of warm hands reached out and touched his head.

Ou Zeyang's heart warmed, he opened his eyes and turned around.

In the darkness, moonlight came in through the car window, reflecting on half of Lai Jie's face, making his outline much softer.His obsidian-like black eyes stared at Ou Zeyang, with complicated meanings in them.

Ou Zeyang: "Brother Xiaojie, don't drive me away...I have nightmares every day on the high seas, I, I'm afraid..."

Lai Jie sighed, tucked the blanket for Ou Zeyang, and said in a low voice: "Sleep first, there are still many things to do tomorrow, be obedient."

Lai Jie's low tone has a special charm, like a lullaby for sleep, Ou Zeyang's heavy eyelids are slowly closing.

A night without dreams...
