absolutely hot

Shaar supported Tunan to leave from the alley, walked outside through the long and dark alley, only to see that the familiar settlements in the past had changed beyond recognition, Lou Zhan's reinforcement convoy passed by the square avenue, and light armored vehicles ran over the scattered corpses on the ground. Only a blurred pool of flesh and blood remained, and a raging fire was burning in the direction of the square. Gray smoke rose high into the sky, and the smell of burning corpses wafted down the wind, making one sick.

There are people fighting in the buildings everywhere, carrying corpses to be burned, patrolling with guns on their backs, standing smoking and joking, collecting weapons in the warehouses of the settlements...the two of them can only stick to the walls of the buildings. The shadow carefully avoids and advances, the direction of the gate is guarded by people from Lou Zhan, Shaar and Su Ze make an appointment to meet at the back of the mountain after fleeing.

Tunan clutched his wound and moved his feet with difficulty. He had tried his best but still dragged Xia Ya down. What was worse was that he could feel the blood gurgling from the wound every step he took. Although Xia Ya had already bandaged him with clothes, But the blood didn't seem to be congealed at all.

He looked at Xia's profile with a little regret. The thin boy who is less than 1.7 meters tall had to support himself who was 1.7 meters [-]. Xia's bangs were soaked with sweat, and he pulled off his coat while panting. Tunan saw that the T-shirt inside had been soaked in sweat and was almost transparent, sticking to Shaar's body like thin paper.

He couldn't bear it any longer, and opened his mouth to say "let me go and run away", but suddenly saw a shadow on the ground...

"Be careful--"

The knife shadow slashed down like lightning, and Tunan didn't know where his strength came from at the very moment, but he used his body to slam Shaar away!

The moment the steel knife fell, he only felt that the knife was heavy and tough, and then his arm lost consciousness. Before he fell into a coma, he seemed to see his hand and forearm falling silently at Shaar's feet. After that, the world was completely dark. down.

.

A military jeep sped past, splashing blood all over the ground. The boy with the black-framed mirror turned his head and saw the headlights coming. He ran wildly, but stepped on the bullet casings all over the floor and fell to the ground. Looking up, he suddenly saw a bloody head looking at him with wide eyes. He covered his mouth and swallowed back the frightened cry, but the jeep behind him had already stopped, and the bright headlights were like searchlights. He had no choice but to lie down in the pool of blood and corpses, facing the hideous eyes of the dead, biting the back of his hand with trembling teeth.

Can't shake, can't shake, can't shake...

Closing his eyes, he thought of the mountains of corpses piled up in the square, the flames twisted and burned on them, burning more and more, burning higher and higher, like a gloomy, roaring tower of dead souls, he didn't want to be one of them .

Thinking this way, he finally controlled his trembling body, but his back was facing the enemy, so he couldn't know the enemy's movements, would he be seen through?Or was it really taken as a corpse and transported to the square to be burned?No, no, no, it's a military jeep, not a truck used to haul corpses, as long as the other party doesn't see through his disguise, as long as the other party doesn't see through...

I don't know how long I have been waiting for, but finally there is the sound of the engine starting up again. A military jeep passed by him. In the medical room ahead, curled up behind the door, gasping for breath and shivering.He didn't see any survivors along the way. Mr. Wu Ming was right. If he didn't escape, he would die. Even if he was Su Ze, he couldn't recover, let alone he wasn't.

Suddenly footsteps came from above his head, Ah Xue raised his head in horror, and he could faintly hear two strange male voices behind the ceiling, he couldn’t hear what he was saying, but they were clearly people from Lou Zhan, they should be searching for medicines, This place is not suitable for long stay.He looked out the door with his head, making sure that it was temporarily safe outside, and was about to open the door to escape forever, when suddenly there was a commotion from the direction of the ceiling, something smashed on the ground, followed by The girl screamed.

Erin? !It's Erin! !

He suddenly turned around and ran up the stairs. The girl's cry was angry at first, then crying, and then stopped abruptly. Ah Xue's heart sank, and he roared and pushed open the door panel, only to see two men Pressing Irene on the ground, the girl's forehead was bleeding, and she had lost consciousness, and her top was ripped apart by the two beasts.

Seeing someone breaking in, the two men cursed and stood up with their guns raised. Ah Xue closed his eyes and raised the gun with both hands and pulled the trigger. The barrel of the revolver was spinning. After several consecutive shots, the room was completely gone. sound.

Ah Xue opened his eyes and saw that the two men had already fallen to the ground. He hurried forward and found that Irene was still pulse and breathing. He patted her on the cheek: "Irene!! Irene!! Wake up!!"

Seeing that he couldn't wake up the other party, Ah Xue had no choice but to help the girl up, and was about to carry her downstairs, when a man behind him suddenly stood up, pointed the muzzle of an assault rifle at the two of them: "Little bastard!!"

Ah Xue's eyes widened in horror, but before the man could pull the trigger, the tip of the knife pierced his chest.

The man collapsed to the ground with an unbelievable expression. Ah Xue looked at Mr. Wu Ming who was struggling to pull the dagger out of the man's body with both hands. He was surprised and grateful at the same time. Wu Ming ignored his extremely excited expression. , hobbled out with the help of the door, and urged: "Hurry up!"

Now is not the time to ask "Why are you back?" Ah Xue nodded and followed Wu Ming downstairs with Aileen on his back. The three of them rushed towards the back of the mountain. When they reached the corner of the street, Wu Ming suddenly turned around and pushed the black frame. The mirror boy said: "Run back! I will cover you!"

Ah Xue knew that someone from Lou Zhan must be in front of him: "But..."

"Run!!" Wu Ming said involuntarily after changing the magazine.

Ah Xue didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran back with Aileen on his back. As expected, there was a gunshot behind him. He gritted his teeth and prayed over and over in his heart, you must be fine, Mr. Wu Ming!

Carrying the unconscious girl on his back, he rushed into an alley. Just then the gunshots subsided, and he stopped in his tracks. The exit of the alley was just ahead, but only ten steps away. Alright...but he couldn't take that step anyway.

Mr. Wu Ming cannot be left behind.Having made up his mind, he put down Irene, found a bunch of trash bags and trash cans to hide the girl, then turned around and ran back.

The street had already returned to desertion, only the solitary smoke after the gun battle was floating around. He boldly trotted back along the shadow of the building, and saw a figure leaning against the wall from a distance.

"...Mr. Wu Ming?!"

That figure turned his head towards him, it was indeed Wu Ming, he rushed forward gratefully: "That's great, I thought you..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Ming fell on top of him.

Ah Xue instinctively supported the opponent's body, but he didn't expect the body to be so heavy, like a high wall that collapsed, as if he had lost the last bit of strength to support him. He lowered his head uneasily and saw the huge wound on the opponent's abdomen.

"No, nothing will happen..." He put Wu Ming down at a loss, looked at Wu Ming whose body had begun to convulse unconsciously, "Mr. Wu Ming, you will be all right..." He put both hands on Wu Ming On the wound, the palm of his hand even touched the hot intestines, but the blood continued to flow out, staining his hands red, and tears burst out of his eyes at this moment, blurring his lenses.

Wu Ming's dilated pupils kept staring at him, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something to him. Ah Xue resisted the urge to cry and listened to him, only to hear Wu Ming spit out the last few words in his ear with all his strength. words:

"Frost...Frost Lake Seed Bank..."

"What... what is the Frost Lake Seed Bank?"

He was confused by the other party's words, but the expression of pain and struggle on Wu Ming's face relaxed like relief, and he held the boy's hand with his last strength.

Ah Xue watched Wu Ming swallow his last breath like this. He thought that he would never forget the expression on this person's face before he died. When he was alive, he was out of tune with the people around him, and when he died, he seemed to be independent. There seemed to be no trace of anger or sadness in those eyes, as if relieved from a heavy burden.Even though there was still regret in his eyes, before that relief, it seemed to be just an insignificant spark.

For a long time, he couldn't understand why this man, who was always emphasizing that he couldn't die, who didn't hesitate to use his companions as a human shield, and was labeled as selfish by people, why when death really came, he only left a sentence to let him know. People can walk so freely if they can't figure it out.

.

Ah Xue managed to escape to the back mountain with Aileen on his back. Lou Zhan's troops were not enough to block the entire back mountain passage, but the observation tower in the back mountain was enough to monitor a large area. After all, he still did not escape Lou Zhan's eyes and ears. Behind them, the light of torches and flashlights rushed towards them like a net.

He was carrying Irene on his back, and his ankle was sprained when he went up the mountain just now. It was only a matter of time before Lou Zhan's men caught up.But why...why must they be exterminated like this? !Do weak people have no right to live? !

He put Irene on his back, gritted his teeth fiercely and prepared to run away, when the pursuers behind him opened fire.

The first bullet landed at his feet, and the second bullet sank into his thigh. He suddenly knelt down. Will luck not be on their side...

"COMEON little bastard, come out quickly, I know you are here~~~"

"Do you still want to play peek-a-boo before you die?"

The voices of the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and there was a joyful smile in the ridicule.

Ah Xue hid behind the bushes with a low body, the light of flashlights and torches passed over his head from time to time, he gritted his teeth and prayed in his heart, don't find out, don't find out, don't find out, but things didn't go as expected, the sound of footsteps Still approaching this way.

The black gun barrel pushed away the bushes in front of him. At that moment, he almost felt that he was going to die. At this moment, a rough scream of "Ah—" suddenly sounded not far away.

I don't know who shouted: "Damn it's a zombie!!"

The muzzle of the gun that almost poked his forehead retracted.

Ah Xue heard gunshots outside one after another, mixed with curses:

"How the hell are there so many zombies in this place?!"

He hid behind the bushes and didn't dare to move. He heard the zombies roaring, and something fell to the ground one after another. He didn't know if it was the zombies or the Lou Zhan.

"Too many! Can't finish! Let's withdraw!"

The leader gave an order, and the gunshots rang out twice, and then the light of the fire and the flashlight quickly disappeared.

But footsteps could still be heard around them, and those footsteps that were as fast as wild beasts stopped as if in tacit agreement, and they collectively turned around.

Chacha.Chacha.

Ah Xue heard these dragging footsteps approaching him like ghosts from all directions, knowing that the zombies smelled the scent of him and Irene, but he didn't know how far these zombies were from him now.The initial movement speed of zombies may be very slow, but once they find their prey, they will speed up and pounce towards them, and they are so powerful that ordinary people are not opponents at all when encountering them at close range.Although these zombies are as invisible as humans in the dark, their sense of smell is very sensitive. When the smell of people is strong enough, they will be excited and attack them in groups.

There was one bullet left in his revolver, and there were obviously more than one zombie here.

Damn... No matter how hard you struggle, can the weak still not escape death? !

He looked back at the unconscious girl behind him, thinking that just yesterday, all of them were fine, and the peaceful and boring days in the settlement, but now they can never come back...

He now has only one choice left, whether the two of them are killed by zombies together, or...

I remember Irene once said that even if you die, don't become a zombie, and never die in the hands of a zombie.Girls must have a deep hatred for this disgusting Bala monster.He decided to leave that last bullet to Irene.

However, he raised the gun towards the girl, but was unable to pull the trigger for a long time. Two voices in his heart were arguing, one voice laughed at himself, he was indeed a weak person, an out-and-out weak person, and the other voice begged, Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, I will definitely pull the trigger at the last second when they rush over!

He knew that when the zombies really pounced, there might be no chance, and even Irene would be the first to be bitten, but he didn't know what he was hesitating and waiting for at this last and most critical moment.

Many images flashed through my mind, like a fast-moving revolving lantern, and then "snapped" to stop on a certain memory fragment. It was a certain evening when he and Irene were chatting at the stone table under the locust tree:

——A Xue, you can’t be so pessimistic. I will never give up until the last moment.

——With no weapons, and zombies in all directions, isn't it called the last moment?So be sure to save a bullet, at least let your fate be in your own hands.

——If you have no weapons and are surrounded by zombies, just call for help.

——Are you kidding me...

— No kidding, it’s true, because that’s how I survived.

In my memory, the girl was sitting on a stone bench, with her hands propped back on the bench, looking at the night sky with a serious and grateful expression.

"At that time, I was probably frightened and stupid. I cried for help like a child, but in fact, I knew in my heart that there were no one nearby. I was able to collect the corpse for me, but it turned out..." Irene looked at him sideways, "The zombies suddenly fell to the ground one by one, and they were all dead in less than 5 minutes."

Axue widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Do you have goosebumps all over your body?" Eileen laughed, "You can't imagine how I felt at that time, because I didn't see anyone who rescued me everywhere, and those zombies died one by one like this. At that moment, I even felt that there is a god in this world, and it must be a god who saved me. Later, I found out that the one who saved me was actually a sniper." He patted the shoulder of the boy with a shocked expression, "So In the future, if you are in despair, just call Su Ze's name loudly, he may be somewhere, within a radius of one kilometer, he can save you."

With tears streaming down his hand holding the gun, Ah Xue took a deep breath and shouted desperately with all his strength:

"Brother Su Ze!! Did you hear that?! Help us!! Help us!!!"

His voice lingered in the huge woods. He didn't know if the voice could float a kilometer away, but the cry for help obviously also attracted the zombies, and the sound of footsteps became faster and denser.

But no matter what, he called for help and made a last-ditch effort. Even if he was besieged by zombies at this time, he could say the phrase "I didn't give up until the last moment" without regret.Thinking of this, he put the muzzle of the gun on Irene's forehead, always preparing for the worst.

A zombie roared and rushed towards him behind the bushes, he could almost smell the stench from the other's open mouth, but at this moment——

"boom."

In a blink of an eye, the monster with claws and claws was left with a bloody mouth, and his head was completely exploded.

Then came the second shot, the third shot, the fourth shot...

Seven consecutive shots were fired, and with the sound of zombies falling to the ground one after another, the forest suddenly fell silent, leaving only the swirling wind.

Ah Xue took the muzzle of the gun away from Erin's forehead, and wiped away the tears that kept overflowing his eyes with the back of his hand holding the gun.

Thank you, thank you Brother Su Ze...

It made me feel that being a weak person is also good and able to survive.
