death to survive

Dongjiangkou District, as the name suggests, is a district developed close to the Dongjiang River. The entire city of B is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the deep, wide and turbulent Dongjiang River is surrounded on one side.The Dongjiang River is the only way from City B to other urban areas. The bridge erected on the river that can pass eight carts back and forth side by side is the only way out of the city.Dongjiangkou District includes commercial and residential areas together. The towering high-rise buildings used to be a bustling scene, but now it is dark and desolate.

After finally walking into the Dongjiangkou District, Yuan Sitian, who was behind the crowd, bent down and rubbed her calf, which was already sore from walking, and looked up at the quiet and dark environment around her, feeling frightened and heart pounding. Pounding non-stop, subconsciously raised his head to look for Xiao Yi's tall and thin figure.But seeing that he was lowering his head and talking to the naughty man named Wang Yang next to him, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two seemed to be very pleasant.

It's him again?Gritting her teeth jealously, Yuan Sitian averted her gaze.Hmph, I didn't notice her now, sooner or later Xiao Yi will know that she is the best!The most suitable woman for him!Just thinking about these things in her heart, Yuan Sitian glanced to the side and spotted a few heavily armed people who looked like soldiers passing by, she was pleasantly surprised He just wanted to open his mouth to call.

"Woo!?"

A hand suddenly covered Yuan Sitian's mouth from behind, and dragged her to the side to squat in a dark corner where the soldiers could not see.She was so frightened that she wanted to struggle desperately, but she heard a warning voice coming from behind her ears: "Don't talk! Be careful, I will make you speechless again!" The threatening words had an effect, and Yuan Sitian, who was afraid of dying, trembled all over. , no longer have the guts to dare to make a sound.

Walking ahead, Yang Yihang and the others noticed something was wrong, turned around to look for Yuan Sitian, and saw a person in the corner covering Yuan Sitian's mouth who was so frightened that she was crying.Alerted, he immediately picked up his weapon and pointed at the man, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let them find you! Follow me." The man in the corner gestured for silence, and then raised his hand to signal everyone to go with him. Go to the side.

Everyone couldn't see the person's malice, this behavior seemed to help them, and Yuan Sitian was still in his hands, so everyone held the weapons in their hands tightly with doubts, and quietly followed the sudden attack. Behind the person who appeared mysteriously, he came to the door of a convenience store with the shutter door pulled down.

The person in front let go of Yuan Sitian, bent down, gently opened and rolled up the shutter door outside the convenience store, got in, and waved to everyone to go in.

Thinking that there are so many of them, they are not afraid to deal with this person, and they are also curious about the purpose of this person. Everyone began to sneak into the convenience store one by one. After everyone came in, the mysterious man quietly opened the rolling door outside. After locking it, the convenience store was pitch black. The mysterious man fiddled with something in the dark and made noises. Everyone was vigilant when they saw the orange flashlight light up. Everyone whose eyes were used to the darkness , being stimulated by the light, I couldn't help closing my eyes, and raised my hand to cover the eyes illuminated by the strong light. After a while, the eyes slowly adapted to it.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, everyone finally saw the mysterious person in the convenience store clearly. Wang Yang looked him up and down carefully, and found that he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, wearing a pullover sweatshirt with spray-printed letters. He wore light blue ripped jeans that were intentionally worn out. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his short hair was dyed a light beige, making him look particularly rebellious.Holding a flashlight with the light on, he let everyone look at him casually and generously.

"You...why didn't you let me talk just now?" Yuan Sitian, who was still terrified just now, found that the person covering her was a handsome young man. The fear disappeared instantly, but she was still a little angry asked suspiciously.

"I just saw those soldiers and soldiers patrolling. If I could have stopped them, maybe we could cross the river and go back safely today!"

Hearing such shocking news, everyone stared at the boy even more puzzled. Yan Hua, who was standing beside him, heard that he had just lost a chance to return to a safe place in advance, and angrily asked the boy: "What are you doing?" Who is it? Why stop us like this? What good does it do you?"

The boy curled his lips and replied disdainfully: "Idiot! I did this to save you."

"What? What do you mean?" Obviously, if they meet up with the patrolling soldiers, everyone will be safely escorted across the river and back to a safe place. Why do they say that preventing them from meeting the soldiers is the only way to protect them?Yang Yihang, who is a soldier, expressed his incomprehension.

The young man looked up at Yang Yihang carefully, took out the photo from his pocket, and threw it in front of Yang Yihang: "You are Yang Yihang, right? I have been waiting here for a long time for you to come, and I almost wanted to leave first."

Yang Yihang suspiciously picked up the photo thrown by the boy on the ground, flipped through it, and found that it was actually a group photo of him and his younger brother Yang Zhi in military uniform, happily draping each other's shoulders and laughing?

"Where did you get this photo?" Obviously only he and his brother had one of this photo, so how could it appear on this unknown boy?The more Yang Yihang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Worried and anxious, he rushed over and grabbed the young man's shoulder: "This photo belongs to my brother! Where is my brother? Why is the photo here?"

"Hey, hey! Let go!" Shaking off Yang Yihang's gripping hand in disgust, the young man frowned and replied, "You ask so many questions in one breath, and you want me to answer them slowly."

Wang Yang also stepped forward and patted Yang Yihang, who was usually silent and resolute, but now he couldn't control his emotions: "Dude, don't worry, he doesn't look like someone who can do anything to your brother, or Listen to him speak slowly, don't be so impulsive."

Rubbing his frowning brows, Yang Yihang tried to calm himself down, took several breaths, finally calmed down a little, and looked at the boy with questioning eyes.

"Well... how should I put it." The young man sat cross-legged on the ground, sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly said to everyone: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Lin Jie, my parents live in a foreign country, and I also I was born there, but my parents wanted me to know what my motherland is like, don’t forget my roots, and became a complete banana person, so they sent me to live with my aunt here a few years ago. Unexpectedly, it suddenly broke out The virus started to cause zombies, and all my aunt's family members were killed, so I came here with most of the crowd, preparing to leave the city for refuge."

Having said that, he didn't hear the main point, and Yang Yihang frowned a little anxiously again.

"Then is the main point. On the way here, I noticed, oh, that's the one, is it your brother?" Lin Jie asked, pointing to another man in Yang Yihang's photo who was smiling so hard that his eyes were narrowed.

Yang Yihang nodded, lowered his eyes silently, and reached out to touch the figure in the photo he was holding tightly in his hand.

"He was wearing a military uniform. He was walking against the flow of people in the direction everyone was coming from. I saw that he behaved a little differently from the other soldiers, so I paid special attention to him, and finally saw him. He was directly knocked down by a car that was fleeing and rampaging."

"Him!? What happened to him?" Hearing that his younger brother was in a car accident, Yang Yihang was not calm again.

"I'm not dead. If I die, there will be no more. I happened to be on the side at that time, so I ran over to ask him how he was, and he took out your photo from his arms and handed it to me, begging for my help. Waiting for the person in this photo to appear, telling me to keep you and the people you brought here. Moreover, he wants me to tell you, don't run into the JC soldiers here."

"Would you be so kind to help him?" Wang Yang didn't believe that when this turbulent zombie broke out, there would still be people who would ignore their own safety and stay in this dangerous place full of zombies just for the safety of a stranger. ask.

"Ha, you know me quite well." Without being angry at Wang Yang's questioning, Lin Jie smiled, turned to Yang Yihang and said, "Of course I can't help him for no reason, it might kill me, It was he who told me that he could save my life, as long as I could get the word out to you and the others you brought, and not let you meet the soldiers here."

"What did he say that would save your life?"

"He said that you must never meet the patrolling soldiers JC here, don't go with them, don't be discovered by them, and don't go to the exit of the Dongjiang Bridge again. If you want to escape, you can only find other ways."

"What??" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.Wouldn't it be courting death not to go with the soldiers who helped cover them, and not to escape by the only exit?What's the deal with this sale?

"Then you really believe it? Don't go out? What he said is so vague..." Yan Hua expressed doubts in his heart when he heard the answer.I wonder if there is some kind of conspiracy, obviously he is about to escape, why did he suddenly say that he can't go, he couldn't help thinking wildly, raised his hand unconsciously, biting his nails, his eyes were a little nervous Blinking non-stop.

"I was just a little skeptical at the time, but he looked like he was about to die, he was still holding me tightly, and solemnly handed over the photo to me, asking me to bring him a message." Pointing to Yang Yihang next to him , Lin Jie continued: "I was skeptical and didn't follow the crowd at that time, and hid. I saw the escaped people coming one after another and left with the soldiers who led them away. I hid in the building next to me and observed. , I did notice something was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Everyone started to get a little nervous.

"I found out that after all the escaped people were taken away, none of them came back."

"Isn't that normal?" Li You expressed his confusion, there are zombies here, who would want to turn around and come back after leaving?

"No." Lin Jie shook his head: "Some families will definitely be separated when they come. Some people leave first, and some people are left behind. I saw some children who were separated from their parents on the road Weeping, looking for their parents, but none of the parents or other relatives who were led away before came back to look for the children and left together... None of them, as long as they go to Dongjiangkou first, no one will come back. I have been back... Moreover, some people wanted to wait for their friends and relatives to leave together, but they were forcibly taken away by those soldiers. I felt that something was wrong. Maybe what the person told me was right. I thought Pay off his personal favor, and wait for you to come here, and leave a warning for you."

Hearing the truth of such a thing, everyone was full of doubts and incomprehensions. They didn't know whether to believe what he said, and they couldn't help but fell silent.

After a while, Yang Yihang moved his lips and opened his mouth, asking, "Then...my brother, where is he now?"

"Oh, there was a soldier who seemed to be your brother's friend. He ran over and took him to the hospital. At that time, there were still some doctors in the hospital who hadn't evacuated."

"So how is he now?"

"Well, it's hard to say what the situation is. It's probably more ominous than ominous." Lin Jie stood up, walked to the wall near the convenience store, dragged a stool and stepped on it, and turned the exhaust vent on the top of the wall to the outside. Push it away a little and ask Yang Yihang to come over and take a look.

Yang Yihang stepped forward and looked outside through the gap of the exhaust vent with his close eyes. There was a big road outside, and a tall building was across the road. The sign hanging on it could be vaguely seen. The sign of Dongjiang Hospital is written in four big characters.There was no sound in the dark hospital building, and there were many zombies swaying near the hospital entrance.

"Although I was sent to the hospital and probably underwent an operation, the situation in the hospital has deteriorated. It seems that zombies have begun to break out in the hospital. Those doctors and nurses fled and died. I have never seen your brother come out of it. Now in the hospital There are probably zombies outside, even if your brother is still alive, he..." Lin Jie didn't say the rest.

But everyone already knew that even if he didn't die, Yang Yihang's younger brother was in danger, and he would be killed by so many zombies inside and outside the hospital...

"..." After a while of silence, Yang Yihang seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head and said to everyone, "I'm going to find my brother."

"Are you crazy?" Yan Hua looked at Yang Yihang like a madman.

"Since it is not confirmed whether my brother is really dead, I have to go in. If he is still alive, I still have a chance to rescue him." Yang Yihang said firmly.

"You don't have a gun or a good weapon, and you want to go in alone to die? There are so many zombies, even if you are a soldier, you don't have that much ability." Yan Hua thinks that he is simply going to die.

"It doesn't matter, at least I tried my best. As long as I have a chance to find my brother, I will definitely not give up."

"Well, I also happen to be a bit bored staying here, let's go together, you can't handle so many zombies by yourself." Wang Yang seemed to be discussing going for a walk outside instead of looking for someone in a hospital full of zombies, with a look on his face. Take the word with ease.He straightened up and moved his feet, twisted his neck, and then wrenched his wrists to make a rattling sound, warming himself up.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi had already stood beside Wang Yang, holding a sharp knife in his hand, expressing his intention to go with him.

"You... No need, it's too dangerous, and you don't need to do this." Yang Yihang wanted to refuse.

"Who said we must be there for you? I just want to find your brother and ask you why you can't leave from Dongjiangkou. I only tell you the answer and don't tell others why. This is the most annoying thing." Wang Yang He patted Yang Yihang on the back hard, complaining about his brother's dissatisfaction that he hesitated to speak but refused to answer.

"Then... I'll go too." Shen Fang, who had been silent beside her, also stood up and walked towards them.

"You? We have to be distracted to protect you when you go..." Women and the like are the most hindering.

As if knowing what they were thinking, Shen Fang replied: "I will not hold you back, I will try my best to protect myself. And I am still a medical student, if I really meet Brother Yang's younger brother, I will help you It’s easy to take care of, isn’t it?”

Li You looked at Shen Fang's firm expression worriedly, and asked, "It's so dangerous, why do you want to go?"

Shen Fang smiled: "Brother Yang and his younger brother have helped us so much, and I have nothing to repay. Now his younger brother has something to do, and there is no doctor in the hospital. It is the time when I need my help the most. I can go to see him." Let's see how his younger brother is doing. Besides, I believe that if my sister knows, she will support me in doing this." Thinking of her sister, Shen Fang became even more determined.

"If you all go, don't leave me out." It was Qiao Feiyu who finally took off his sunglasses at night, and laughed at him.

"Are you going too?" Looking at Qiao Feiyu's appearance and his virtues in a sullen patterned shirt, Wang Yang expressed doubts.

"Hehe~~ Don't look down on me, Xiao Yangyang, I'm also a good player who has practiced everything in karate, Jeet Kune Do, and Muay Thai." Spreading his hands, Qiao Feiyu shook his head lightly, smiling at Wang Yang's questioning eyes.

"You must know that a rich man is always being watched by others. I have practiced self-defense for many years, and I have a lot of practical experience." While talking, Qiao Feiyu narcissistically straightened the collar of the colorful shirt that Wang Yang secretly despised.

"Damn! What's your name." Goosebumps all over Qiao Feiyu's words aroused, Wang Yang scolded: "If you want to go together, go together, so don't let me hear the disgusting address... ..."

"What did you say? Xiao Yangyang?"

"..."

Still wanting to continue talking teasingly, Xiao Yi who was behind Wang Yang gave him a seemingly casual look, and immediately returned to his senses.Qiao Feiyu shut his mouth quickly and wisely, what, it's easy to get carried away when you are proud, and you almost don't even know how you died...

Although I don't want to trouble everyone, it is really difficult and unrealistic to go to the hospital alone to find my younger brother. Yang Yihang is silently grateful for everyone's help.He agreed to go with Wang Yang, Xiao Yi, Shen Fang, and Qiao Feiyu to the hospital to find Yang Zhi.

Although it is already night now, and the zombies are even more arrogant, but looking for Yang Zhi a moment later may make him more dangerous, and the sooner the better, even if it is not very good for everyone now. good timing.

The rest of them didn't dare to go out at night, but wanted to know the reason why they couldn't go out through Dongjiangkou, so they stayed in the convenience store with the boy Lin Jie just now, waiting for news of their return.If the few of them haven't appeared by tomorrow, the others will run away with their own lives. If they come back tomorrow, they will discuss the long-term plan together.

After everyone made an agreement, Yang Yihang, Wang Yang, and Xiao Yi packed up their offensive weapons and came out of the convenience store. The sky outside had already turned into late night, and the light of the moon was projected on the ground, casting a shadow on the dark and silent city. Everything was covered with a layer of blue-white silver light. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Wang Yang expressed his helplessness: "Now, it's all right, with such a big moon shining, I'm afraid that the zombies and those patrolling soldiers will find out. We can't, let's go to the hospital in a low-key manner..."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and approached Dongjiang Hospital as quietly as possible with their lightest steps.
