Doomsday city

Leo ran to the pile of pillows excitedly like a fish that had bounced ashore. He took out a laptop from under the quilt, waved away the trash on the desktop proudly, and turned on the power with a serious expression.

"This!" He pointed at the computer screen and tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly. "The password is Jim's home phone number! He always sets this as the password, so I'm pretty sure it's something Jim left behind!" There is only one on the computer desktop. folder, there are dozens of text files and an audio-visual file after clicking on it.

Vinoya and the others leaned forward to watch, Leo pursed his lips and clicked on the video.

"I don't know if this is a clip from a horror movie, or if Jim intentionally made it scary..." Leo nervously shook his head aside, and said, "Anyway, after I ordered to watch it, I had nightmares in my sleep for three days."

The picture starts without end. In the video, there are five men and women in surgical gowns. They wear masks and talk and walk in the room. There is an operating table in the center of the room. There is a person lying on the table. All electrocardiograms and sensors are Sticking to the person, the faint sound of electronic equipment can still be heard.

The picture quality looks old, and the shooting equipment is not a professional camera, it is only used to record this event.After 5 minutes, the person on the operating table lost signs of life, and the electronic equipment connected to his body made a sharp beeping sound, and everyone in the room immediately surrounded him.

One of them took the syringe from the shelf, and the other handed over a dark brown glass jar. The person took out half of the liquid and then injected the needle into the chest of the life-stopped person. In just 30 seconds, the dead person suddenly trembled violently. Writhing wildly like a patient in a seizure, the other men in surgical gowns cheered excitedly, but ten seconds later the man stopped again.

One of them stepped forward to check, and when they waited attentively, the 'dead man' on the operating table sat up instantly.

Several people around were screaming from joy to horror. Just before the film was interrupted by people with panicked hands and feet, the last image of the film stopped at the 'dead man' standing off the operating table and staring straight at the camera.

"...Zombies?" Mabel asked suspiciously, raising her eyebrows.

Vinoya pressed the center of her eyebrows with a headache, and she opened several files to browse one after another, her expression becoming more serious.

"This is a documentary from 20 years ago," she said, dragging the text file to the bottom date, "and then these are press releases, some old news, some dated now... You said Jim was your friend and he was also a doctor Are you a member of the guild?" Vinoa glanced at Leo.

The man stopped wiping his face, shook his head and said, "No, he's a reporter."

Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to drop to freezing point, and Vinoa finished reading the other text files, most of which were discussing the Henau virus epidemic, influenza, and the spoils brought back by Corbert Connor during his travels.

"Play the video just now again." Red Scorpion pushed forward and said.

Vinoya clicked to play, and Red Scorpion stared at the screen with unusual concentration, almost pasting it on the screen.Finally, she pressed pause, went back and forth several times and stopped at the moment before the end of the film, and finally cursed a damn, clutching her forehead and pacing back and forth anxiously.

"What's going on?" Mabel looked at the hazy image in the screen.

Red Scorpion flicked her pockets back and forth like a drug addict, but unfortunately she ran out of cigarettes along the way, so she could only run along her short hair or rub her cheeks.

"That person..." She stopped and paused hesitantly: "No...that monster is Ivy Lehman."

──Ivy Lehman.

Ingrid stared at the video screen with a complex expression. It was difficult to see her appearance from the shaking clips. Coupled with some distance, the outline of her face was basically blurred. "You mean Jason Lehman's daughter?" She once I have seen the portrait on the fireplace, but it is difficult to overlap the girl in the painting with the monster in the film.

"Jason Lehman...Jason..." Leo squatted at the table and muttered to himself. After a few seconds, he suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "The great philanthropist Jason Lehman! I remembered! Jim I mentioned this name on the phone! At that time, he was very excited and said on the phone, 'Brother, I'm going to get rich! Jason Lehman will pay me tens of billions of hush money' or something like that!"

"It's indeed worth tens of billions." Mabel said with admiration.

"Oh! My God! I'm almost out of breath!" Red Scorpion stroked his forehead and said nothing for a long time.

Vinoya quickly turned off the computer, and said, "Besides that, what else do you know? Anything is fine."

"That's all Jim said on the phone. I thought he won the jackpot or was drunk. If he hadn't insisted that I come, I'm afraid I wouldn't have taken it seriously," Leo whispered. He’s the only one who rushes to find me, but I really can’t figure out why it’s here? The Physician Guild?”

"Unless he is found, no one will know why," Mabel broke the silence first, she stood up leisurely, and said with a smile, "Maybe you will be psychic? Because he is likely to become a zombie." Cruel speculation made Leo cringe With a face, he has to say that he has long accepted the fact that the streets are full of man-eating monsters, and he doesn't think that Jim, who is at the bottom of his sports grades every semester, can escape the monster's big mouth.

"Now?" Ingrid asked, staring at Vinoa.

"Take him, let's go back first." Vinoya pointed to Leo, and found that the man immediately showed a very moved expression.

He clenched his fists excitedly, like an excited child but asked cautiously: "Are you going to take me away from here? Really? You won't throw me to the monster as bait halfway or talk casually, will you? Really Will take me out of this shabby house? Promise? Swear?"

"Or you can stay if you want, you know? I agree with it." Red Scorpion couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

Leo immediately shut up his chattering mouth and made the sign of the cross on his mouth like a good boy. Sometimes he felt noisy.

Vinoa handed the flashlight to Mabel and said to Ingrid, "Let's go back."

"Oh! Wait! I have food to take away!" Leo quickly dug out the suitcase from the iron cabinet. He had a lot of snacks from the vending machine, which cost nothing at all. At the same time, he opened the suitcase A pillow, after peeling off the cloth cover, turned out to be a hard shell black box.

"Wait! Isn't that an inhibitor!" Red Scorpion roared in surprise.

"Inhibitor?" Leo looked at Red Scorpion and the other surprised people suspiciously, "No, of course not, this is cold syrup... Uh, I don't know the exact name, but when I caught a cold, the Vaccine Administration The doctor told me to drink this, he said it was cold syrup."

"Oh! Fuck his cold syrup!" Red Scorpion hugged Leo excitedly, "God! I really like you more and more, stupid boy!" The joy infected several others, Mabel raised a gentle smile, Ying Geli also shrugged helplessly, and Vinoya was even more relieved.

"Well, what we're looking for is your cold syrup," Vinoa patted Leo on the shoulder, "Our friend needs this right now, thank you for not trying to drink it when you're too hungry." In fact Well, after drinking the inhibitor, he's probably 90.00% likely to turn into a zombie.

"Of course I don't drink if I'm not sick," Leo scratched his head in embarrassment. He wasn't sure what caused these people to show interest suddenly, but he didn't reject joining the group life. "Then, we can 'go home' Is it?" When he said the word "go home", his cheeks flushed slightly in disappointment.

"Although I start to like you idiot, I still want to beat you up." Red Scorpion said with a frown.

Mabel took Leo's shoulders and led him to the door, saying: "Please don't scare our hero, Red Scorpion, his cold syrup, Frieda is full of hope now, isn't she?" At the moment of the iron gate, a zombie rushed towards his face. Leo was so frightened that he screamed strangely, only heard bang!With a sound, the zombie was killed on the spot in front of him.

Ingrid walked over with a blank face, and Leo sat down on the ground with his legs limp in fright.

"You have to get used to it, dear Mr. Leo Connor," Mabel pulled the man up with one hand, and smiled in his ear, "Believe me, the end of the world will be an interesting journey." After speaking, he stuffed the flashlight into the Holding the hands of the crying man, he supported his shoulders and followed Ingrid who was leading the way.

Fortunately, the journey down the stairs was not difficult. Relying on the precise marksmanship of Ingrid and Red Scorpion, most of the zombies did not get up again after the bullets penetrated them.It was close to five o'clock in the morning, and the zombies' mobility decreased significantly after dawn appeared. When several people stepped out of the building, the clock in Leo's backpack just rang.

"Look, it's not that difficult, is it?" Red Scorpion put his arm around Leo's shoulders, and said to the sun with a smile.

Leo was terrified along the way. He screamed hoarsely, grabbed the noisy clock and threw it on the ground in a daze, with teary eyes as if he had been greatly wronged, "I'm just an ordinary electronic repairman! I haven't even killed bugs a few times! My mom is vegan!" he babbled, tears pouring out like a fountain.

"It sounds like you really need to recognize the reality," Red Scorpion patted him on the back forcefully like an officer, and said with a smile, "From now on, you'd better learn how to use a gun, and then try to protect yourself, like a real soldier! You know, those monsters won't show mercy just because you're crying, and cheer up if you don't want to become a feast."

Vinoya pressed her temples tiredly, she didn't drive the car on the return trip, but was driven by the Red Scorpion.

Mabel sat in the co-pilot seat to assist the road conditions, while Leo sat in the middle of the back, Vinoa was sleeping on the left, and Ingrid was staring out the window on the right.Holding the backpack, Leo managed to calm down his excitement. He sniffed his nose, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and then took out a chocolate bar to replenish his energy.

"You look so used to it," Leo asked, biting a chocolate bar with red and swollen eyes, "I guess you are soldiers or policemen, or some armed elements, right?" He caught a glimpse of Ingrid hanging on the With the gun at his waist, subconsciously stay away from her.

Red Scorpion raised his eyebrows and glanced at the rear mirror, Leo's expression was very determined.

"Little brother, what we hate the most are the police and soldiers. As for the militants, if you mean professional killers, I am indeed," Red Scorpion laughed jokingly, making a sharp turn, causing Leo to lose his balance and fall on Ingrid. body, "but these women you see now are all prisoners for life."

"Prisoner for life...?" Leo's tongue was tied, and he sat still in embarrassment before sneaking a glance at Mabel, Ingrid and Vinoa.

"Yes, life imprisonment, felons, murderers, they are all elites who escaped from prison." Red Scorpion couldn't help laughing, and said, "Congratulations on winning the first prize! Leo Connor!"

"──No!" Leo broke down and cried again.
