absolutely hot

In the evening, Meng Anru opened the curtain and got into the tent: "I heard about it, Lan Aowen is going to take a few people to take a short cut from the territory of the Deng tribe to the Frost Lake Seed Bank."

In the tent, Lan Shangwu, Su Ze, and Tunan couldn't help being stunned.This route is both unexpected and expected.

Tu Nan looked at Lan Shangwu and Su Ze beside him with an incredulous expression: "The lamp clan? Is that the lamp clan of the cannibal?"

The tradition of cannibalism among the Lantern tribe has been known to the outside world long before the end of the world. Although the government has ordered to ban this custom, it is said that the Lantern tribe still maintains this "tradition" in private. It is now in troubled times. The rumors that passed through the territory of the Deng tribe and disappeared from the world spread wildly. It is said that even a certain convoy in the Lou Zhan was not spared. After that, almost no convoy dared to pass through the territory of the Deng tribe.The Lantern people are local aborigines. Their ancestors have relied on hunting and primitive farming for generations. They are conservative and xenophobic, have a strong sense of territory, and are born fighters. Of course, the clansmen don't mind taking them as Chinese food.

However, Lan Aowen dared to pass through the territory of the Lantern Clan with only a few people, which fit his character very well.

"Even Lou Zhan didn't dare to take that shortcut, Lan Aowen is too courageous, and he is not afraid that he will be washed clean and burned..." Meng Anru sat down at the entrance of the tent, Lifting the curtain, I glanced at Lan Aowen who was coming down from the trailer, and said to myself that I would really be reluctant to eat it if it was changed, and I would make it into a specimen.

Lan Shangwu thought about it: "Lan Aowen is determined to win against the antibody. He has been delayed here for so long. Only by taking a shortcut can he catch up with the upstairs battle."

Meng Anru heard something bad from Lan Shangwu's words: "...you don't really want to go with him, do you?"

Lan Shangwu nodded: "I will go with him, the antibody cannot fall into the hands of him and Lou Zhan."

Su Ze also got up and said, "I'm with you."

Meng Anru turned to Tunan, and the light-haired boy said firmly, "I'm going too."

He was the only one left in the tent who didn't express his opinion. The young man with ponytail hesitated for a while, and finally looked away apologetically: "...don't count on me, my ideal is different from yours, I am nothing at all A noble person, for me, it is good to be able to live, and the happiest thing is to be able to live comfortably," he said in a low tone, "even if you want to say that I have no ambition and just pass by, I will admit it... ..."

I thought that Lan Shangwu would really scold him like this, but I didn't expect that Lan Shangwu just patted him on the shoulder, and then handed a key to him: "It's okay, I know you just want to live comfortably."

With a clear and faint smile in Lan Shangwu's tone, Meng Anru raised his head in surprise, and the soft expression on Lan Shangwu's face for a moment made him feel that Lan Shangwu sincerely hoped that he could live comfortably.He looked down at the key to the handcuffs in his hand, and his heart suddenly became so relaxed, so relaxed.

.

At night, Ah Xue was lying in a cold tent. Outside the tent, the whole camp was busy, as if he was preparing for something. He curled up to avoid these noisy sounds, when he suddenly felt that someone opened the curtain and walked in.

The light made the young man close his eyes even more irritablely, and said to Tunan who was always persistent in bringing him food and water every day: "I said I won't eat, don't worry about me anymore!"

"Are you really going to go on like this without eating or drinking?"

The voice was familiar and cold, but it was not Tu Nan's. A Xue opened his eyes suddenly, and was surprised to recognize that the owner of the voice was Lei Zhe.

Lei Zhe sat down behind him: "Do you want to eat and drink like this until you die?"

Ah Xue curled up in the corner in pain: "Otherwise, what should I do... I'm not like you... I can still live for revenge..."

He is a weak person, a weak person through and through, and has no strength at all. Even if he hates the building and the war to the bone, so what?He killed Irene, and failed to keep the secret well, even if he did one of these two things, he would not be so painful.Just because he is weak.Assuming that Lei Zhe made the same irreversible mistake as him, at least... Lei Zhe is so strong, he still has the power to make up for his mistakes and stop Lou Zhan, but he can't do anything...

"Do you want to know my story?" Lei Zhe said softly.

Ah Xue blinked his eyes in a daze, Lei Zhe's voice was a little weak, and the sequelae of serious injuries were obviously still tormenting him.

"I didn't know what pain is, what is regret, what is pain," Lei Zhe continued, his voice turned towards the outside of the tent, "I live as I want, because I have a group of brothers who died There is also the blade... They tolerate my willfulness and help me realize those unrealistic fantasies. They are probably the only ones in the world who take my romantic individual heroism seriously..."

Wheat, monsters, torpedoes, and seconds appeared in front of my eyes... Those fresh faces, they galloped on the continent, laughed together because they played tricks on their opponents, cried together because they escaped from death, they snatched supplies from the gang of robbers, And distribute them to the distressed people who met along the way...

Once they snatched a handsome yellow Hummer from a gang of robbers. He jumped on the driver's seat, looked up at the blue sky, and his whole body was full of pleasant emotions: "Why do people live in the last days?" Do you have to work so hard?" Sitting up again, he patted the windshield and asked triumphantly, "Am I the happiest one?"

Baba sat on the hood, lowered his head and wiped Yueshan Zhenli's inscription knife, the corner of his mouth slightly raised an arc, he didn't say yes, and he didn't say no.

Recalling this point, Lei Zhe looked lost. At that time, Ren did not speak. He just felt that Ren was simply too lazy to talk to him, but after a long time, he finally realized the intricate meaning behind Ren's silence.

He is indeed the happiest one, even happier than Lou Zhan and Lan Aowen.In this difficult end of the world, in this deserted continent, everyone is obviously struggling, why is he the only one who seems to be playing the game of Resident Evil Zombie Siege with Cheats?

"It's not like cheating, it's really cheating." Lei Zhe whispered.

That golden finger is the blade.

Before getting to know the blade, they also lived a precarious life every day, full and hungry, and they were in a panic when dealing with zombies, and they were almost ransacked by gangs of robbers, and they were on the verge of running out of ammunition and food, and were even crushed into sandwiches. The biscuit situation... After Blade joined the Berserkers, they went on such a path that he could "brazenly" say "live the happiest".

Blade's silent smile at that time, was he laughing at his stupidity or his own helplessness.

"People are always pretending to die, and gradually they don't realize that they are dying. Who told him that he can't really die every time he tries to die..." Lei Zhe said slowly, mocking himself With a wry smile.

If it was before He Jian got acquainted, they would never dare to provoke Lou Zhan, even if it was just a certain convoy under Lou Zhan, they would not be able to provoke him. Well, the Skeleton Legion is nothing but a group of goblins.

But then Ah Miao and Maizi did it.

They didn't intend to provoke the Demon King on purpose, they just wanted to steal the vaccine, because next they had to pass through the city where the zombie tide broke out, without the vaccine, the whole process would be very bad.

Don’t say that Ren would not agree to the idea of ​​stealing vaccines, even if he, the captain, knew about it, he would definitely not agree, so Ah Miao and Maizi made up their minds to do it alone.

They never expected that Lou Zhan himself was in that seemingly small but well-armed elite convoy.

When A Miao and Maizi were captured, Ren went to the front to explore the way and had not yet returned. Torpedo and Monster persuaded him to wait for Ren to come back before thinking of a way, but at that time...

"At that time, I used the excuse that I was afraid that Lou Zhan would kill Ah Miao and Maizi, and I was afraid that there would be no time, so I had to rescue them immediately." Lei Zhe recalled, "So I brought people with me before I returned. Go save Ah Miao and Maizi."

Ah Xue was stunned, he didn't understand why this was an excuse.

"Lack of time is only one of the reasons. The other reason I didn't mention is because I think the reason why Lou Zhan caught the wheat and monsters but didn't rush to kill them is because his goal is the blade."

Axue opened his eyes in bewilderment.

"I suspect that Lou Zhan and Yan had contact before I knew it, because I can hear such rumors occasionally. Although I haven't verified it with Yan, I think this rumor is somewhat credible. Lou Zhan wants to gain an absolute advantage in the game against Lan Aowen, he needs a blade." There was a long pause at this point, "...I don't want a blade to meet Lou Zhan, so I want to save Ah Miao and Maizi by myself. "

Until Blade died, he didn't tell the real reason, and there was no chance for him to repent.But there was another reason why he led the convoy to attack Lou Zhan.

He likes the blade, but he feels that he doesn't understand it at all. At that time, he felt that the blade was like Yueshan Zhenli's sword, which was both good and evil. Whoever held it in his hand would fight for him. He just didn't A sharp knife with a touch of emotion.

He wanted Ren to know that between him and Lou Zhan, it was right to choose him, because evil can never prevail against good, and he is a friend of justice.

Thinking about it now, doesn't this just explain my stupidity?

"Lou Zhan is not something you can deal with by showing your bravery," Lei Zhe said in a low voice, "In the end, Ren was forced to meet Lou Zhan."

Hearing this, Ah Xue finally couldn't hold back: "...Why are you the one who survived?"

He didn't feel right after asking this question, but Lei Zhe didn't seem to mind:

"Yeah, I'm also wondering why Lou Zhan killed Ren in front of me, but didn't kill me right away."

The word "no" that Yan said at the last moment, he has been hanging on his heart for so many years, and every time he recalls it, it hurts his heart. This is probably the ending that even Ren himself did not expect. language, he has no way of knowing.

Lou Zhan didn't kill him right away, but locked him up, and he ran away that night. He didn't know why Lou Zhan didn't kill him, but he knew that if Lou Zhan didn't kill him this second, he would be ten times and a hundred times return it.

Later, as long as he saw Lou Zhan's convoy and Lou Zhan's people, he would start killing. He was like a killing machine, and he couldn't stop at all.He hated why he was the only one who survived, and wished that someone could kill him immediately.Once a person is fearless, he can become very brave, so he can single-handedly kill Lou Zhan and a convoy.He doesn't think about anything every day, except looking for water to drink, eating grass stalks, and gnawing bark, just like a hound whose owner has died, sniffing the smell of the building, but every time the building is gone, he seems to be there forever out of his reach.

During the days before being rescued by Su Ze, he seemed to be reincarnated in the Shura Dao.

The tent became quiet, and Ah Xuean lay quietly on the spot without turning his head. He felt that it was best for him not to turn his head at this time.He thought that Lei Zhe would not want to be seen as he is now.

After a long silence, Lei Zhe said again: "Ah Xue."

The boy straightened his back unconsciously.

"You will feel pain, you will feel that it is better to die, because your life was too comfortable before, you have been living under the wings of the strong, and now someone has finally broken your comfort zone." Lei Zhe said, "But In fact, it’s nothing, in the last days, everyone has to go through this process.”

Ah Xue closed his eyes, and then thought of himself being pressed to the ground, watching Irene suffer the hellish torture, is that so?Would such a process be too cruel?

"Just a few days ago, I wanted to kill Lou Zhan terribly, but now I have figured it out," Lei Zhe turned his head and looked at the motionless young man lying in the shadows with his back to him, "I don't want to do it again." Revenge, and I don’t want to fight anymore. Those scenes of revenge and tit-for-tat are all unrealistic fantasies I once had, and those who take them seriously are no longer in this world, because Those ideas are not worth protecting. So I want to become a real strong man, or even if I don’t become a strong man who can stand alone, I also hope that the civilized world that shelters the weak and respects life will come back little by little.” He always Word by word, the voice seemed to clear up little by little, "So I will look for the antibody, and I won't let the antibody fall into Lou Zhan's hands. I don't need to kill him, but he needs to pay for what he has done. We all thought that in this last days we could disregard others and do whatever we want, I want to prove that is wrong, so Lou Zhan must be punished, it has nothing to do with love or hate."

Ah Xue listened silently, and the "no love or hate" that Lei Zhe said was calm and peaceful, it really had nothing to do with love or hate.

"You don't have to go with us, I hope you stay." Lei Zhe said, "At that time you told us that Wu Ming was rejected by everyone in the coral gathering place, because he said he would use his companions as a shield A selfish ghost who wants to live, but in fact, we all know now what he meant by using his companions as a shield for himself. Living in this world with the mission of protecting antibodies, he gave this mission to you again. I think each of us must be carrying something, so we will continue to live in this world, otherwise we would have been like everyone else Wouldn't it be easier and happier to become a zombie?"

Ah Xue felt the sound of people behind him getting up.

"If we don't bring back antibodies, you've got to do something."

After saying these words, the tent was completely quiet again. Ah Xue turned his head hesitantly, and Lei Zhe left, only the curtains of the tent were fluttering lightly, and the light leaked in from under the curtains, illuminating his misty eyes. Eye.

.

Before dawn, Lan Aowen's elite convoy was ready to go. Su Ze stood outside the tent and watched the convoy and personnel assemble. Lan Aowen took away not many people, about [-] people. To his surprise, LEON He didn't follow him, he stayed in the camp, but Shaar would set off with the convoy.

After a while, the door of the white trailer opened, and Lan Aowen got out of the car. He was wearing a black motorcycle jacket, but it was made of matte fabric instead of reflective fabric. There was no dangling silver zipper on the clothes, which looked quite Low-key, the temperature plummeted, and Lan Aowen only wore a black scarf around his neck. Su Ze watched the masked sniper approach him and talk to him. When Lan Aowen spoke, the white breath in his mouth was abnormal against the black scarf. obvious.

How amazing, demons are also alive, flesh and blood, they also need to breathe, they are also afraid of the cold, and they need love...

Lan Aowen followed the masked sniper into the second car of the convoy, which was a black Grand Cherokee. When he lowered his head and pulled on the seat belt, Lan Aowen glanced out the window. Su Ze felt that at that second, Lan Aowen must have seen He died, but he quickly looked away, fastened his seat belt coldly, and leaned on the co-pilot's seat without looking sideways, his handsome but gloomy profile was blocked by his honey-colored curly hair.

The lead vehicle flashed its tail lights, and the convoy filed away from the camp in an orderly manner.

Lan Shangwu walked over at this moment, with a troubled expression on his face: "Lan Aowen is moving too fast, and we don't have a car. This is a big problem. Lan Aowen can't allow us to follow behind his convoy."

Tu Nan on the side asked, "Can we steal a car and follow after Lan Aowen's convoy leaves?"

"I don't think LEON will let us steal a car so easily." Lan Shangwu frowned, "And what we lack is not only the car, but also weapons and ammunition."

The three of them watched the back of the last jeep in the convoy disappear behind the woods, feeling a little confused for a moment. At this moment, the sound of the horn of the car suddenly came from behind.

Before the three turned their heads back, a black SUV had already braked in front of them, and the young man with ponytail wearing a colorful hoodie lowered the window and waved at them: "Hello, buddy, do you want a ride?"

Lan Shangwu looked at the Toyota SUV up and down, and then at LEON who was leading people to check supplies not far away, and couldn't help but lower his voice: "Where did you get this car from?"

"What a fuss." Meng Anru adjusted his hood, "Didn't you look at me when I stole tens of millions back then, but what's the point of stealing a car now?"

Lan Shangwu still couldn't believe it. Stealing a car might not be a big deal to Meng Anru, but in front of Leon, this death was too big.

"Oh, well, this car is from Lou Zhan," Meng Anru saw that the three pieces of wood had no sense of humor, so he could only tell the truth with a dull face, rubbed his nose that was red in the cold wind, and said in a muffled voice, "It wasn't that day It was quite confusing, so I took the opportunity to hide the car in the woods..."

Lan Shangwu looked at Meng Anru's evasive eyes when he spoke, and now he understood that this guy was ready to abandon his teammates and play Escape of the Century by himself. If the key was not still with him, Meng Anru would not I don't know where I am at ease.

"Then why didn't you go?" he asked.

"Probably...staying with Interpol for too long, I really can't bear the world to fall into the clutches of bad guys..."

Lan Shangwu smiled and didn't take it seriously. Of course he knew the result of Meng Anru's thinking all night last night. Xingqi fled in a Toyota, and within three days he would definitely come back in a daze - this was also the result of his thinking last night.

Before Meng Anru finished showing his loyalty, Lan Shangwu greeted Su Ze and Tunan: "Okay, let's all get in the car."

"But we still lack food and weapons..." Tunan said.

Meng Anru turned around: "I also bought some food and weapons, but not many... originally I wanted to keep them for myself..."

Only then did Tunan open the rear door with confidence. As soon as the door opened, there was a loud crash, and a large pile of canned food was dumped from the back seat. The group of three people looked at the canned food and ammunition boxes piled up in the back seat and the trunk. stunned.

"That's not too much?" Tunan rubbed his instep that hurt from being hit by a can of tuna, "We don't have a place to sit, okay?"

.

After driving out of the woods, Lan Aowen's motorcade slowly stopped on the side of the road.

The window of the black Grand Cherokee was lowered, Lan Aowen looked ahead indifferently, the young man in lace shirt who stopped the convoy in the middle of the road was walking towards him.

"Go to the place of the Lantern tribe, you can take me with you." Standing outside Lan Aowen's car window, Lei Zhe said straight to the point.

Lan Aowen looked at him indifferently for a while, and finally said, "Let me kill Lou Zhan."

Lei Zhe smiled unexpectedly, and nodded cheerfully: "Okay."

Lan Aowen said: "You get in the car behind."

Lei Zhe glanced regretfully at Lan Aowen's gloomy face behind the raised car window. This man was out for revenge. He thought to himself, seeing you now is like seeing me in the past.

.

On this day, a gust of cold air swept across Xincheng, 150 kilometers away, and heavy snow fell in the hazy sky.Lou Zhan's convoy temporarily stopped in the north of Xincheng due to the sudden heavy snowfall.

Lou Zhan was sitting alone in a lambswool tent with burning charcoal fire. One day many years ago, he was also in such a tent. On a cold and murderous winter night, he waited for the taciturn man like a samurai sword.

At that time, they were sitting at both ends of the tent across the charcoal fire, negotiating, but the atmosphere was more like a long conversation.

"You can kill me, but not him." The young man in a black long-sleeved T-shirt sat cross-legged on the ground and said calmly.

"You should know that I can't kill you. If you agree to my request, you and his life can be saved." Lou Zhan said, "How? Consider being my knife?"

The man opposite the charcoal fire just shook his head lowly: "Lei Zhe won't agree." He raised his eyes and said, "I am his knife."

This sentence is said calmly, but it has its own strength, making people feel that the speaker's spine is made of thin blades, it is light but firm.Lou Zhan quietly looked at the man with clear eyes on the other side of the charcoal fire. He had seen many people, many knives, some were like slashing axes, some were like sharp spears, but this one in front of him was different—he was A knife with a soul.After a long time, he sighed in a deep voice, "What a pity."

"Madness poses no threat to you, but you still don't trust me," Ren Feng said calmly, "Since we have reached this point, the best choice for you and me is to kill me and let the madness go."

"It's really a pity." Lou Zhan's expression became more and more regretful, "But I will not only kill you, but I will not let you go."

Blade just nodded, as if he had expected the other party's words: "This is Chicheng, which is not within the sphere of influence of you and Lan Aowen, but it is very close to your and his forces, so this is a minefield, and any party will act rashly. The consequences are disastrous, so you dare not bring a large team, because if Lan Aowen's people know you are here, they will not miss such a good opportunity."

Lou Zhan could hear something in the other party's words: "How did Lan Aowen's people know that I am here? As far as I know, everyone in the crazy team, including you, is in my hands." The implication is that you There will be no extra manpower to inform Lan Aowen.

"Although Lan Aowen doesn't have a large base in Chicheng or settlements within the jurisdiction of his forces, there are quite a few of his eyes in the settlements here. Nine hours from now, if Lan Aowen's eyes don't see If Kuang appears, he will use a carrier pigeon to inform Lan Aowen that you are here."

Lou Zhan was unmoved: "This lie is too clumsy. I believe that Lan Aowen has an eyeliner in Chicheng, but I don't believe that the other party will let you order him. Even if you tell him that I am here, the other party will not believe you without full evidence. Because as you said, this is a minefield, and Lan Aowen didn't dare to act rashly. And assuming you have conclusive evidence to prove to the other party that I am here, then the other party has already sent a letter to inform Lan Aowen at this moment. I have to wait until Kuang shows up, if that happens, I will end up dead anyway, let alone let Kuang go."

"I didn't say you were here, I just said Kuang disappeared." Blade said.

Lou Zhan stared.

"Currently there are rumors of Kuang disappearing in Chicheng's settlement. As long as I say that the person who can make the Kuang Legion disappear without anyone knowing it is either Lan Aowen or Lou Zhan, the people in the settlement will easily believe."

Lou Zhan didn't make a sound, and people would believe Yan's statement, because it made perfect sense.

"Thanks to Torrej, the reputation of the Mad Legion in the local settlement is really good. After I expressed my doubts, everyone is very concerned about the life and death of the mad, and of course they are also concerned about the safety of the settlement. I told them that I will go to Looking for the man, if the man has not returned after twelve hours, it means that Lan Aowen or Lou Zhan has come to Chicheng, and the settlement is no longer safe." Blade said, looking down at the open pocket watch on the ground, "now Only eight hours and 45 minutes left."

"The people in the settlement don't know whether it's me or Lan Aowen who came to Chicheng, but Lan Aowen's eyeliner must know that it's me." Lou Zhan nodded slightly, with admiration in his tone, "You really Well-deserved reputation."

"I have told you all my plans without reservation," Blade said, "Next you can choose to kill me and Lei Zhe, and notify your base before Lan Aowen, so that you will be better than Lan Aowen." Wen Duo has nine hours to act, but your biggest disadvantage is that you are in Chicheng yourself, and Lan Aowen may not come to Chicheng in person. For you, this will be a life-and-death battle that you cannot afford to lose, and you must rush into it ;You can also choose to kill me and Lei Zhe, and then quickly withdraw from Chicheng, but in this way, Lan Aowen will still get the news that you are coming to Chicheng, and his large army will come to Chicheng, and unless you fight, otherwise Lan Aowen will occupy Chicheng with no effort."

Lou Zhan said, "Do I have any other choice?"

Blade shook his head slowly.

Lou Zhan took a sip of the cold coffee, and lowered his eyes regretfully: "It seems that I can only kill you."

Blade's expression was flat and unwavering: "That's right."

Lou Zhan put down his coffee cup and asked curiously, "Are you not afraid of death at all?"

The young man in black sat cross-legged behind the charcoal fire, with his hands on his knees, he nodded and remained silent for a long time: "I'm just sorry, I can't get back his other companions."
