City-wide ban

The moment he heard the man whispering, Qi Luyao instantly realized what happened.

But it's all too late? Too late.

The iron door behind him should not be opened from the inside, but the man in front of him heard the sound of footsteps and quickly returned to the aisle with his gun in his hand.

Qi Luyao looked at the black muzzle of the gun, pursed his lips, and dared not speak for a while.

"Living in this era, it's not easy for everyone." Thinking about it, this should be the first sentence the old man took the initiative to say to him, and it has obviously become a dying message to Qi Luyao.

Qi Luyao looked at the man's hand that didn't immediately pull the trigger, and asked softly, "Your wife... likes to eat?"

The eyes of the old man in front of him were still a pool of lifeless stagnant water, and Qi Luyao reflected in it was permeated with a dead air that could not be submerged: "She doesn't eat dead people."

As soon as these words came out, this person was in Qi Luyao's heart? He was almost sentenced to death - a crazy person is no different from a dead person, and even worse than a dead person who is docile and non-aggressive.

"Stop struggling." The old man took a step forward, and put the gun against Qi Luyao's left shoulder, "You can't escape from this kind of place."

Only then did Qi Luyao take a closer look? This dark and cramped cellar.

Here? Although there is a stench that belongs only to rotting corpses, compared with the mess in the living room upstairs, it has a unique breath of life.

Refrigerator, stove, dim light yellow energy-saving lamps, a stack of ripped books...

There is also the corner of the room, the ferocious old woman zombie who was tied up with layers of chains, and was firmly fixed on an armchair.

And under the zombie's feet, there were two half-gnawed left hands, one of which had been weathered into a black wrinkled mass, and the other was so white that almost no extra flesh could be seen.

——Obviously this couple has hunted passers-by more than once. The complete skeleton of the corpse should have been cleaned up long ago. The purpose of keeping those two hands is probably to be used by zombies to gnaw Two bites, to pass the time.

"This is your wife?" Qi Luyao didn't have any good escape plan in his mind for the time being, but this desperation calmed his mind, "She doesn't look very good."

A subtle emotion finally flashed in the old man's eyes: "Her name is A Zhen, she is just sick, and I will cure her."

Qi Luyao pursed his lips. He knew that this person was pretending to be dumbfounded on purpose. He knew that when he heard the abnormal movement, he would go to guard with a gun. He should know that creatures like "zombies" have almost nothing to do with "illness" and "healing". Not on any association.

For this kind of person, Qi Luyao will not use any empathy ability - at this moment, he will be at a disadvantage? Without a weapon, otherwise Qi Luyao will let him go to the underworld to meet his wife every minute.

In the doomsday environment, appropriately abandoning the so-called moral bottom line is conducive to living longer. In order to protect himself, Qi Luyao feels that he should not hesitate to kill people.

He regretted throwing away that piece of glass just now—although knives are definitely not as fast as bullets, his age and skill can completely make up for the difference between hot and cold weapons.

But it is really difficult to do it with bare hands.

"Don't I need to take a bath or something?" Qi Luyao licked his lips, looked at the zombie who was about to break free from the chain, subconsciously took a step back, "How can you bear to let her eat unwashed ingredients? "

But unfortunately, although the old man is crazy, he is not a fool: "No need."

The escape plan failed.

The old man ignored Qi Luyao's full marks from head to toe to protest, and directly pointed the muzzle of a gun to Qi Luyao's head: "Go? Go."

Under the threat of death, Qi Luyao slowly walked towards the bound zombie. Every step he got closer, he could feel the strong aura that only belonged to the corpse.

"Aww!!" At half an arm's distance from the zombie, it seemed to be attracted by the breath of blood on his body, and the zombie screamed and wailed, trying to bite the tip of his nose.

Qi Luyao reflexively wanted to hide back, but the gun barrel directly poked his spine fiercely behind him, and the soreness penetrating into the joints made his brain go blank for a moment.

Then, the old man's voice came from behind his ear: "Unlock the lock on the left."

Qi Luyao took a quick glance at the guy's idea of ​​binding in front of him—the left and right sides are locked, and if the lock on the left is unlocked, the zombie will have a circle with a radius of about two meters to move freely. When the time comes, the old man will definitely stand outside the circle with a gun in his hand, watching from afar the happy eating scene of his dead wife hunting and killing escapees in the circle.

At this moment, Qi Luyao probably felt the old man's love for his wife from the bottom of his heart.

——After all, even if he was himself, he wouldn't stare at Xia Xinghe every meal, telling that guy to pay attention to pre-meal exercise and post-meal digestion.

Under the gaze of the old man, Qi Luyao bit the bullet and slowly unlocked the lock on the left hand side of the zombie.

"Quick." Seeing Qi Luyao's careful thinking trying to delay time, the old man stabbed Qi Luyao in the back with a gun again.

At this moment, the wounds all over his body started to burn simultaneously.

Such a scorching tingling sensation made him extremely irritable, and the severe smell of that guy's corpse in front of him made him want to retch all the time, so for a moment, "Shoot me, I'm really going to die" people" thinking.

So he stretched out his hand cleanly, and with a "click", he opened the lock cylinder directly...

"Aww!!" Another roar crazily swept from the top of his head with a stench, and Qi Luyao, who had given up on himself for a while, made a conditioned reflex in an instant, raised his knee, and pushed the zombie who rushed over go back.

"Wow!" As the zombie wailed in pain, Qi Luyao reacted instantly? Come to yourself? I'm going to make that wife slave angry.

Seeing the other party raise his gun again, Qi Luyao took a step back to hide behind the zombie, then quickly grabbed the zombie's shoulder and blocked it in front of him——

"Don't shoot, or your wife will die too."

After embarking on the journey to rescue Qi Luyao, Xia Xinghe panicked for no reason.

——Intuition told him that time was more urgent than he imagined. After all, Cheng Peng's forces almost combined the high aggressiveness of the government army and the high-tech nature of the government department. If he wanted to find Qi Luyao, he must be faster Even faster than imagined.

He was so full of anxiety that he almost stepped on the gas pedal to the point that he was about to sink into the car, and the racing thoughts at this moment made him feel that the whole journey had become abstract and terrible.

Vehicles drove through the dilapidated urban area, and from time to time there would be zombies rushing onto the main street trying to touch porcelain, but as long as Xia Xinghe's speed was fast enough, bad things would not be able to catch up to him.

"The latest news, 'Qingshui' announced that it will soon launch a zombie army to attack the 'Northern Suburbs'. Experts suggest that citizens evacuate as soon as possible..."

In the ears, the news flashes of ?? made Xia Xinghe even more anxious--now, it seems that everyone wants to go to the northern suburbs to intervene, as if they are afraid that someone will discover the secret hidden there? .

Such a thought made Xia Xinghe's heart itch.

How can people who engage in scientific research not be curious?If it wasn't important to save Qi Luyao, he might really want to investigate the matter in the northern suburbs.

On the street, there are arrest warrants about known members of Qingshui scattered everywhere. Under the night, the half-strike electronic night scrolling screen still flashes pictures of terrorists. At this moment, Qingshui has become an undisputed national Public? Enemy.

Looking at the city road in the dark night with cruel flames in front of him, Xia Xinghe frowned, bypassed a few people who asked him for help, and ran forward at the highest speed without looking back...

"Dudu!"

Under a burst of blinding lights, a jeep that was also galloping appeared side by side next to Xia Xinghe's car, and honked its horn in a high-pitched manner as if the other party didn't see it.

Xia Xinghe raised his head a little irritatedly, slowed down the speed of the car slightly, rolled down the passenger window, and looked across from him.

Immediately afterwards, the window of the driver's seat of that car rolled down, and the person who appeared in front of him was Zheng Yiyang, who hadn't had much contact with him.

"I have prepared a helicopter." Zheng Yiyang said quickly, "Get out of the car, you take the empty road to save Qi Luyao."

After Xia Xinghe stepped on the brakes, his brain slowly processed the information——

On the huge screen behind him, Qingshui's second-in-command "Duanhong" codename and Zheng Yiyang's photo hung on the same information sheet and flickered. In front of his eyes, this person was standing in front of him.

"Cheng Peng has already arrived." Zheng Yiyang cut to the point quickly and decisively, "He can't handle it alone."

Xia Xinghe didn't hesitate too much, he didn't seem to doubt Zheng Yiyang's position at all, he just asked symbolically: "Why did you ask me to save him."

Behind him, the light of the huge wanted notice illuminated the road surface, and the thick silver sprinkled on the ground, looking cold and unkind.

"He is a prophet." Zheng Yiyang didn't hide it, "It's an apology to me for not listening to him."

Xia Xinghe didn't have time to ask what kind of contacts and entanglements they had, but the word "prophet" completely confirmed his guess about Qi Luyao.

"Thank you." Xia Xinghe was no longer polite, and directly boarded the helicopter prepared for him by the other party.

It wasn't until he put on the aviation headset that he realized that he had become more courageous. To put it bluntly, he had become more reckless. That's how it happened? The helicopter he prepared...

After simply thinking wildly, Xia Xinghe finally arrived at the city marked by Qi Luyao before dawn.

It is a completely deserted ghost town.Seeing this emptiness, Xia Xinghe felt a little relieved, at least the safety factor of Qi Luyao's hiding place was not too low in general.

Xia Xinghe found a relatively safe high-rise building to park the plane, and quickly came to the place marked at the beginning.

——It was an empty house with a hole in the roof, Qi Luyao should have already left.

This is not a good sign. According to the agreement, Qi Luyao should wait for him where he is, unless there is an accident?...

Xia Xinghe frowned, it was not easy to find Qi Luyao's whereabouts in the huge empty city.

But when he searched along the main road, he stopped.

Outside of an ordinary one-story house, layers of suspended robots guard the outside. A window the size of a person is broken through a window along the street, and the densely packed robots on the outside are lining up and flying in one by one... …

The author has something to say: Qi Luyao: If there are too many villains, it will indeed become addictive.
