Speed ​​Skating Survival [Apocalypse]

What is so strange, Xia Bing has not yet figured out the answer.But the answer to this layer of mystery seems to be at hand, within reach.

"The shroud store must have a back door, we didn't pay attention." Liang Chu looked at the opened store door, the door was halfway open, and the furnishings inside the store could be seen vaguely, "Luo Qinghui must have left through the back door and went to the community hospital."

"But... why did he go to the hospital?" Qi Xiaobao helped Chen Zhong put on his shoes, his courage was also growing, and he learned not to panic when things happened, "He was going to sleep at dawn, and the light was always on. Could it be that he was trying to deceive We just turned off the lights and actually...he slipped out the back door and sneaked off to the hospital?"

is that so?Xia Bing was not sure for the time being, and his thoughts seemed to be trapped in a thick fog, just waiting for a gust of wind to blow away.But he pointed to the direction where Luo Qinghui disappeared: "Over there! No matter what his reason is, we have to leave here. Now everyone keep an eye on that side. Once you find Luo Qinghui appearing, tell me right away! Liang Zi, give Chen retest Take your temperature! Coach, go and get ready to drive!"

With an order, Qi Xiaobao and Chi Feiyang were in charge of keeping an eye on the only direction leading to this road from the community hospital. Although it was foggy, they couldn't see it. If Luo Qinghui came from this side, he would definitely be spotted.Chen Zhong also got dressed at this time, and helped them look in the direction of the hospital.

Xia Bing stood beside Chen Zhong, first put a coat on him, and at the same time thought about what made him feel wrong.

"Come on, Chen re-takes the temperature!" Liang Chu had already taken back the temperature gun, and Lang Jian ran to the driver's seat, ready to start the car.Without further ado, everyone's movements seemed to be several times faster. Chen Zhong aimed his forehead at the gun in Liang Zi's hand. After Didi Didi, the temperature gun showed 38.6.

"38.6!" Liang Chu shouted.

Xia Bing was relieved when he heard that, they could leave the vicinity of the hospital right away without being frightened by Luo Qinghui. "Coach, let's go!"

"Okay!" Lang Jian turned the key and started the engine.

Half a second later, red popped out on the dashboard, announcing that the fuel tank was in emergency.

"What's going on?" Lang Jian tried to step on the gas again, and the engine stopped immediately after stepping on it.

"What's going on? Coach, what's wrong with our car?" Chi Feiyang rushed over to help check the dashboard together, but there was no response from all the places that could light up. Obviously, it broke down after the fuel tank was completely empty.

"There is no gasoline, and our fuel tank has bottomed out? But it's impossible, there are still three quarters left!" Lang Jian slapped the steering wheel a few times, but it was useless, and the whole RV didn't move at all, " Somebody must have gotten under the chassis of the car and broken our gas tank, or cut a pipe, or something... I'll get out of the car and see!"

Xia Bing also rushed over and hugged the coach.The car broke down and they couldn't leave. He was in a state of confusion, but he still stopped the coach: "Don't go! We can't get off the car!"

Lang Jian wanted to push him away. He just wanted to take the children away as soon as possible at this time.

"Don't get out of the car!" Xia Bing hugged the coach and didn't let go, "If someone really doesn't let us go, we might fall into the trap when we get out of the car! After all, Luo Qinghui hasn't come back yet, so let's keep an eye on him. Don't get out of the car ! No one is allowed!"

"But, but..." Lang Jian didn't move anymore, but used his brain. He knew that Xia Bing was right, but he still wanted to have a glimmer of hope to fix the car. After a few seconds, he calmed down. , "All the team members pack their things now, everyone has their shoulders on their backs, and put on the things that can be taken away. I am responsible for taking Chen Zhong's medicine. Put on the protective gear and put on the skates, just in case, it is really a desperate moment ...abandon the car!"

The coach's decisive response also made everyone clear their minds. No matter how panicked or anxious they are now, they must consider the second plan.The people who had just put on their clothes began to put on their protective gear. Each of them took two large backpacks and swept the things that could and must be taken into their bags.

Food, bottled water, Chen Zhong's medicine, these are the most basic.Chi Feiyang and Qi Xiaobao each spared a bag, and took away the tall potted plants and the immortal succulents.Liang Chu and Pinghao were in charge of collecting weapons and clothes. Xia Bing put on pet shoes with non-slip pads on Demu's four paws, put on a muzzle and collar, and was ready to take the dog to transfer.

Chen Zhong's movements were relatively slow, and the big guys helped him put on all the protective gear.Lang Jian took out the children's skates from the storage room. Several pairs of skates were really heavy. The sharpened blades of the skates collided with each other, making a tinkling sound.Among them, there is a pair of shoes that are different from other people's shoes, which belong to Chen Zhong.

He has been doing this job of carrying shoes for his team members for too many years, but he has never felt so confused like today.Everyone took their own equipment and began to pack the most important things in their pockets.Xia Bing put the temperature gun into the inner pocket of his jacket, Chen Zhong grabbed a new syringe, and Chi Feiyang went to the bedroom, stuffing the family photo and the first team's collective honor gold medal into the back of the bag.

Knowing that carrying these things is useless, but still can't give up.

Just as everyone was putting skates on their feet, the sound of a helicopter came from the sky outside the car again, clearer than ever, as if the clouds were not separated, and they had already flown under the clouds, right in the fog .

Such a dangerous flight operation, I am afraid that the rescue team on the plane will go all out.

"Captain Xia, he's back!" Chi Feiyang exclaimed at this moment.

All gathered at the window, staring at the end of the passage.Sure enough, that person was Luo Qinghui, he was still hunched over, his face was still so ugly, as if he had turned into a paper man, or was possessed by a paper man.He walked slowly, his eyes were lifeless, and when he came out of the fog, there were still a few wisps of white smoke on his body.

Behind him, followed by a group of zombies, I don't know where he collected them, or they were originally from the hospital and they were not cleaned up.

Luo Qinghui staggered, walking in the front, the fanaticism of yesterday was completely gone, and he turned into a haggard person again, living only on a sigh of relief.He clapped his hands from time to time, and the zombies behind him followed him from left to right, as if they were all asleep, just waiting for a sound to activate.

Some zombies ran a few steps faster, rushed to the source of the sound, Luo Qinghui, slowed down after smelling it, and did not rush to bite and eat it raw.They followed the man across the street through the fog, like a group of ghosts without limbs, not realizing that there were other living people in the RV.

"Everyone keep your voice down..." Xia Bing said softly, "If Luo Qinghui only wants to send the zombies on the road, he won't hurt us."

"His eyes have changed, as if...he has no interest in living people at all." Chi Feiyang said, "I used to watch movies, and people with multiple personalities are like this. Once the personality changes, the mental outlook of the whole person is different. Even Even the voice can be changed. And there can only be one personality, they cannot exist at the same time..."

Liang Chu stood at the position closest to the window, protecting everyone. "So... Luo Qinghui's main character has come out now?"

"The master personality is good." Qi Xiaobao nodded casually, "The master personality...is not very dangerous..."

Xia Bing looked at Luo Qinghui's silhouette, and judged through the mist whether his eyes had noticed this side.Now the car can't move, so keep an eye on this person at all times.

"Binoculars...give me..." He held out his hand.

Chen Zhong handed over the binoculars on the sofa, and pressed his brow with the heel of his palm. Neither his palm nor his forehead were too hot, but it was just a little painful.

Picking up the binoculars, Xia Bing observed Luo Qinghui in the distance.This is indeed his main personality, just like when they first met, his eyes were not bright at all, and he was listless even when he was doing funeral affairs for the zombies, which showed that his physical strength had been exhausted to the limit.

"You keep an eye on him, I'll take a look at the situation in the shop." Xia Bing turned his attention to the shroud shop again.

In the telescope, there are several corners of the store. The wooden chairs have been moved away, and some bloody and fleshy clothes and pants fell on the ground, which may be left by the zombies last night.Looking further in, there is a corridor leading to the kitchen and bedrooms, the lights are too dim to see anything, only some empty shelves of wreaths can be seen.

So Xia Bing narrowed his eyes and readjusted the focus of the telescope. A few photos flashed in front of him, all of which were pasted on the wall.

What it is is not very clear, but it can be vaguely recognized as a product introduction.The top row is the dummies.The photos they take are so real-like, and each one is marked with size, price, weight, gender, and displayed one by one.

Xia Bing recalled what Luo Qinghui said, his family was all engaged in business in the underworld, and it seemed that they mainly made paper figurines.

Further down, there is a display of other paper products, including lanterns, villas, furniture, luxury cars, laptops, food models, etc. It seems that after death, people will really live in another world, and they need a living room. People burn daily necessities.

Xia Bing didn't think so. Back then, the adoptive father left first, and the adoptive mother left later. The adoptive mother specifically asked him not to engage in burning paper. The old couple had engaged in scientific research all their lives, and they didn't believe in those things.But Xia Bing still burned a whole set, he didn't believe it, he just burned it for himself.

Looking down at the photos, they are not as clear as the ones just now. Some are curled, some are slightly yellowed, and they are old photos that have passed the age.Xia Bing frowned, and identified the person in the photo, who might be Luo Qinghui's grandparents, and then his father.Each man holds up his own work.

paper man.

It can be seen that this family has really devoted themselves to this business for several generations.Moving his gaze further down, Xia Bing saw a few newer ones. The faces must be unclear, and the lighting is not enough due to the distance.But with his thin body and face, Xia Bing felt that the child holding the paper figure was Luo Qinghui when he was a child.

At that time, he should have been a primary school student, but he had already raised his own work, a not-so-good-looking paper figurine.

But behind this Luo Qinghui, there is another person.

Xia Bing immediately took down the binoculars, and the coolness turned into ice, from the soles of his feet pierced into the cracks in the bones until his internal organs froze his heart.He thought he was wrong, did he really hit a ghost and saw something unclean?

Behind the spirit?

This is so wrong, Xia Bing took a few breaths, opened the stiff finger joints to hold the telescope again, and once again focused his eyes on the picture just now.

He couldn't tell whether the person behind Luo Qinghui was a person, a paper figurine, or Luo Qinghui's shadow.The line of sight continued to move down, and Luo Qinghui in the photo gradually grew up, but became thinner and thinner, as if he was born with a bad body.And the shadow behind him also grew bigger and taller with him.

Until the line of sight is fixed on the last photo.

The shadow behind him finally separated from Luo Qinghui himself.This time, instead of standing behind Luo Qinghui, he walked to the side, also holding a paper figurine in his hand.

The telescope fell to the ground, Xia Bing opened his mouth, but didn't shout out.The fog in his head finally waited for a gust of wind to blow away, revealing his true face.He looked outside again, seeing the white smoke that was about to disappear from Luo Qinghui's body, it wasn't smoke, it was... ice.

Like a popsicle, when a person walks outside from a sufficiently low temperature environment, the water vapor in the air liquefies into small water droplets when it is cold, and it looks like white smoke.When Chen Zhong came out of the freezer, he had it on him.

All of a sudden, Xia Bing remembered the scene of Chen Zhong meeting Luo Qinghui in the hospital, and he was also emitting white smoke.He also remembered that he rolled up his cuffs to show the indwelling needle... No, they had already seen that needle when they first met Luo Qinghui.

Not on that arm at all.

The left and right sides of the indwelling needle are reversed.

It's not multiple personalities, it's clearly two people. The real Luo Qinghui has to go to the hospital to find a refrigerator to freeze himself when he has a fever, or he may go directly to the morgue.And the "Luo Qinghui" who just came out of the morgue might have gone to get the medicine, and happened to run into Chen Zhong who was also going to get the medicine.They wore the same clothes and looked almost the same, and it was really hard to tell them apart with their terminally ill faces.

Now this Luo Qinghui is real.He had a fever, and he came out of the morgue of the hospital just now, still smoking.

And that "Luo Qinghui" came back with them yesterday, pretending to be Luo Qinghui talking to them.Before he entered the shroud shop, he was looking for the key near the flowerpot, and Xia Bing felt something was wrong at that time.

Only when the family members leave the key for another person will they hide near the door. If they are alone, the key will be left on them directly.

"No!" All thoughts were cleared up in about a second, but Xia Bing felt that he had held his breath for several years, and finally said, "He is not Luo Qinghui, they are twins! There is another person!"

Happy New Year on the third day of the Lunar New Year!
