from my heart [last days]

The smell of burning flames in the distance, the whistling wind in his ears, Xie Congxin closed his eyes for a moment, as if he had returned to that night in Dengzhou for a moment.

What a similar moment, except that there is no Pei Ze beside him, and there is no ocean of zombies underneath, only Zhou An who is pulling his collar, forcing him to hang at a height of 30 meters, and he may let go at any time, causing him to fall to pieces.

time -

The white coat began to shatter under the pull of the weight, and Xie Congxin also sank a little bit. Zhou An's arm showed blue veins, and shouted at him: "Catch me!"

Xie Congxin opened his eyes and smiled at him, showing no sign of fear: "Why, don't you want me to die?"

"..." That's right, but it's not the way to die. He wants Xie Congxin to die in front of Pei Ze, and vice versa.

He had already thrown the gun, and with one hand he was climbing the scaffolding between the fifth and sixth floors, while with the other he grabbed Xie Congxin's clothes as much as possible.With his arm strength, it was not difficult to catch Xie Congxin, but Xie Congxin didn't cooperate, and it was fine to sink on purpose, and he swayed his body, trying to reach the steel platform on the fifth floor.

"Aren't you fucking afraid of heights?" Zhou An yelled angrily, "Aren't you afraid of falling to your death?!"

Xie Congxin smiled mockingly at him, took a deep breath, and slowly moved his gaze down to the high sky where the steel bars intertwined below.

Fear, of course fear, the innate fear is not so easy to disappear, the weightlessness of the whole body makes the palms and knees feel numb, and the cold wind in February makes the exposed skin hurt like needles, and the dark tide covers the eyes one after another , Xie Congxin resisted the dizziness and held his breath.

The fabric of the white coat was so thin that it was stretched to the extreme, and the gap between the collar and the sleeves was getting bigger and bigger. Xie Congxin held another steel bar in both hands. You can reach the intersection of the scaffolding with your toes, as long as you can step there, you only need to take a step from the platform on the fifth floor——

There is nothing wrong with him. He is Xie Congxin. The heart in his chest is beating powerfully, and the blood is rushing through his body. He lives with the best posture and keeps moving forward. It is no longer the case at the Three Gorges Power Station two months ago Xie Congxin, who hesitated even at a height of three meters, could already overcome this height by himself even if Pei Ze wasn't by his side.

He raised his head with a calm and calm gaze, and before the clothes were completely torn, he grabbed Zhou An's wrist that was holding him.

Zhou An's eyes were about to split open, this was the moment of life and death.

Xie Congxin pushed his hand away in reverse, Zhou An let out a low growl, the white coat shattered, and the two let go at the same time, Zhou An went to clasp Xie Congxin's arm, and Xie Congxin withdrew his hand one step faster, and the whole person slammed Drop down and step towards the intersection!

Twenty centimeters, less than the distance of one foot!

The palm of his hand scratched the skin on the rusted steel bar, and there was a burning pain. The moment of weightlessness made his heart almost jump out of his throat, and he had already stepped on it!

Unexpectedly, Zhou An's hand turned in one direction in mid-air, grabbed another steel bar, turned his body half a circle, and stepped on his finger!

The expression on Zhou An's face changed, he twitched the corners of his lips condescendingly, and looked down at Xie Congxin regretfully and pitifully. it's the same.

"Forget it, Academician Xie, Xie Congxin..." He smiled slightly, but his eyes were as cold as poisonous snakes, his lips opened and closed, and his voice was like venom spewing out of fangs.

Xie Congxin was trying to reach the steel bar next to him with one hand, when he heard him softly and slowly say, "You'd better go to hell—"

The cracked piece of white coat floated into the distance with the wind, and turned into a tiny speck of white in the cloudy sky, like a white dove spreading its wings, plunging into the rising orange-red sparks. Infinitely elongated and magnified in the senses.

Xie Congxin's pupils trembled violently, and Zhou An's sudden force, the friction of the lines under the hiking boots was so great that he immediately crushed his fingers with blood, and almost broke his finger bones!

Xie Congxin was in a stalemate for less than half a second, then let go because of the severe pain rushing into the cerebral cortex, and fell with his back facing the void!

Guoan backyard 100 meters away.

Kun Yuanpeng's limbs were all dislocated, lying on the half-dried lawn, unable to move, he could only turn his neck to look at Pei Ze's side face with protruding blood vessels, and sighed with a half-smile: "Why are you doing this medicine? Hit me, and you will turn into a zombie yourself."

Pei Ze didn't look at him, but raised his head and looked at the sky with blood-red eyes. Kun Yuanpeng waited for a while but didn't respond. He followed his line of sight and saw nothing.

What he didn't know was that Pei Ze couldn't understand what he was saying.

He was shot in the lungs and passed through the sea of ​​fire, exhausting all his will to resist. The virus supported the body's operation, forcing the cells to divide at a high speed to fill the wound, and successfully invaded the brain, expanding all his senses several times, depriving him of all senses. Thinking ability.

He saw the dark sky, felt the high temperature of the flames, and smelled the fresh blood in Kunyuan Peng next to him—this should have caused a hunger impulse in his cerebral cortex to make him eat, but he didn't move .

At this moment, he was attracted by something else, it was a little white floating in the air, it was a wisp of smell brought by the wind, it was very faint, even with his current sense of smell, it was difficult to catch it, it was intermittent, but it managed to occupy him All instinctive reactions, even overcoming the strong desire for protein brought about by the virus.

His blood-red eyeballs moved, as if touched by something, and he took the first step under his feet, leaving Kunyuan Peng who was close at hand, leaving behind everything around him, and walked straight towards the direction where the smell came from.

It was getting darker and darker, Xie Congxin woke up from the buzzing vibrations in his ears.

What made the vibration was a steel bar that crossed the edge of the concrete skeleton. In the center of the third and fourth floors, the excess part had not been cut off in time, and it was a bit longer than the surrounding ones.When Xie Congxin fell, he brushed against the sharp end of the steel bar, and his white coat with the ripped skirt was scratched again, which gave him a very short buffer.

He stretched out his hand to grab it, completely out of the instinct to survive, and he actually just happened to grab the steel bar that was so small that it was slightly elastic!

What kind of luck is this?

At this moment, he had to admit that he was lucky. He was almost certain to die, but because of the existence of this thing, he was alive.

His arm strength has not been exercised, and it is very difficult to support his own weight for a long time. Xie Congxin immediately grabbed it with both hands, and at the same time lowered his head to look for a possible foothold.

The nearest platform is half a meter away. If you can’t jump on it, you’re likely to rub against the outside of the scaffolding and fall down again. Zhou An, who is above his head, has already stepped on the platform of the scaffolding. There is less than one floor away, and he has to climb down and grab the scaffolding. He easily—

Xie Congxin raised his head and looked at him. Zhou An's face was gloomy. Xie Congxin smiled at him. The smile was sincere and without any hint of irony. Then he tensed his arms, pulled them up and let go, and jumped towards the platform inside by inertia. past!

He closed his eyes during the process, he was still afraid of heights, he was still afraid of the feeling of weightlessness, but he was afraid of so much, afraid that the virus could not be analyzed, the vaccine could not be produced, afraid that he would fall into Zhou An's hands, afraid of Xie Lin's crimes I can't wash it off, and I'm afraid that Pei Ze won't be able to come.

The fear of heights is really insignificant in front of these things, he still has so many things to do, why can't he cross this half a meter?

The physical contact with the surface brought a huge sense of peace of mind. Even if it was just a narrow passage less than [-] centimeters wide, it was enough to alleviate most of the physical dizziness. He stood up quickly, holding his feet and standing upright. The bracket moved slowly towards the third floor.

At the same time, Zhou An above was also moving. His movements were much faster than Xie Congxin's. He crossed the fourth floor in two steps. When Xie Congxin stepped on the concrete floor, Zhou An had already reached the place where he was hung up just now.

Fortunately, the gun had fallen to the first floor just now, Xie Congxin didn't stop for a moment, and ran towards the stairs.

Zhou An cursed and sped up the speed. His hiking boots slammed on the steel pipes. Seeing that Xie Congxin had reached the stairs, he couldn't catch up, so he simply changed direction and continued towards the second floor along the scaffolding.

Xie Cong's heart rate was so fast that he could barely breathe, and his lungs seemed to be filled with ice water. When he reached the second floor, Zhou An also arrived. If he continued to go to the first floor, Zhou An would also be there.Four walls have been built on the first floor for reinforcement, and Zhou An's location is closer to the exit. If they meet on the first floor, he will be directly blocked and have nowhere to escape.

He stopped, and Zhou An also stopped on the scaffolding platform on the second floor, showing him a smile of 'I'll see where you are running', Xie Congxin was covered in cold sweat, only had time to take a breath, and immediately turned around , ran to the third floor again.

From the top, there are many more paths to choose from than down.

Zhou An was not in a hurry to chase. He stood in the howling cold wind, and there was a slight clicking sound as the bones of his fingers moved. The rust from the steel bars was stuck between his fingers, and the color looked like blood.

The sound of Xie Congxin's footsteps had already returned upstairs, and he flicked his wrists that were a little stiff from climbing, as if doing a warm-up exercise before doing it, but not to catch up with Xie Congxin.

Beast's instincts are always keen.

Even though there was no sound or warning, he still sensed the danger from behind in the first instant.

Zhou Anyu turned his head slowly, then narrowed his eyes.

Less than 20 meters away, Pei Ze stood there, with veins on his face and blood-red eyes, and blood all over his body. It was unknown where it came from, and it dragged across the entire road.

No matter where he looked, there was no sign of a living person on him, Zhou Ankuo smiled and called him, "Pei Ze."

The usual Pei Ze would not respond to him, let alone at this moment, he just looked at Zhou An calmly. If it weren't for the overly prominent appearance, he would look no different from ordinary people.

But he was indeed infected, it was very thorough, the virus had undoubtedly invaded his brain, even if he was injected with closure medicine now, even if Xie Congxin drained his blood, it would not be able to stop the virus from eroding the brain neurons.

He is hopeless, no different from a dead person, you don't even need to do it yourself, just avoid him, in the near future, he will die of premature aging due to excessive blood loss or excessive cell division.

But Zhou An still jumped down from the second floor.

Because at this moment, he actually felt a ridiculous sense of fate.

It seems that such a scene once appeared in a dream, he and Pei Ze are destined to stand on opposite sides of each other one day, and make a settlement on a day with bad weather.

But even before he was infected by the virus, he was still proud of being a member of the third team.

The road of life is like a tree branch that is constantly splitting. No one can predict what kind of ending this momentary choice will lead to.Zhou An spent three seconds recalling everything after meeting Xie Congxin, but failed to find the bifurcation point that led him and Pei Ze to this point.

He simply stopped thinking about it and landed firmly on the uneven ground of the construction site.

Pei Ze finally had a reaction, and a vague roar came from his throat. Zhou An stood up, tilted his head, moved his shoulders and neck, and sighed softly: "Look at your current appearance...Comparing the two of us, who is more similar? animal?"

Pei Ze obviously couldn't understand what he was saying.

Zhou An actually felt a kind of joy of victory in advance from his ferocious expression, and laughed uncontrollably, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake..."

He paused for a moment, and spread his hands, "——It's not like, you are already an animal."
