sunset escape

The dead body flashed past, getting further and further away, until it completely disappeared in their world.

But disappearing doesn't mean it didn't happen. Xiang Jiajun was terrified, looking at the constantly changing road ahead, but the corpses on the ground were played over and over again in front of his eyes.

After a while, he said softly: "His girlfriend is still waiting for him at home."

He Chen's hair was still dripping, and his whole body was drenched, as if he had merged with the rain outside the window.Hearing Xiang Jiayun's low sigh, his focused and serious expression didn't change a bit, but he helped him fully raise the car window to block the wind and rain outside.

"Perhaps, misfortune is already the norm in the last days."

Xiang Jiayun was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered the death of He Chen's father.

He himself was alone at first, and the most he could lose was one life, so he ignored many things along the way.Thinking about it now, he realizes how tough Teacher He's psychological defense is, so tough that it can resist all injuries.

"Mr. He," he sat up, "I'll drive, you go and change first."

Both of them were a little depressed, but after He Chen took a look at him in the rearview mirror, he changed his tone and said helplessly, "Don't be like that, I didn't mean to be mean when I said that."

Xiang Jiayun approached behind the driver, stretched out a hand, and grabbed He Chen's neck with the bend of his arm, "Hurry up, I'm not discussing with you."

There was no force at all with the hand, it was just resting on the side of the neck, without any sense of threat.He Chen freed up a hand, squeezed his wrist and then put it down.This movement was unnecessary, and it was as light as a feather fluttering. While Xiang Jiayun was caught off guard, he vaguely felt that Teacher He was seeking psychological comfort.

He didn't notice that the car stopped, and he didn't come back to his senses until He Chen reminded him.

When they exchanged seats, the two cars behind caught up and stopped aside.The cars of Xia Shuya and Liu Yao got closer, and the girl lowered the window and asked in confusion, "Did you also see that corpse on the road?"

Xiang Jiayun also lowered the car window, and replied: "Yes, He Chen guesses that someone is following us, and they are probably waiting in front."

"So are we going to change the route?" Liu Yao couldn't help coming up.

"Instead, we have to get rid of those people." He resolutely said, "I have a map, so follow closely."

Zhuang Fan's car was parked at the front, and he couldn't hear their words clearly because he was far away, but he couldn't honk his horn, so he had to frantically flash his lights to show that his patience was exhausted.

Xiang Jiayun drove the car to the front, glanced at the mobile phone with tenacious battery, and then turned the car into a small road.When he drove two streets away, Mr. He had already changed into dry clothes in the back seat, and straddled his legs and stepped directly into the co-driver.

"Don't go to save the road, change another road, we still have enough gas." He Chen reminded from the side.

He nodded.Apart from agreeing, there was also a little helplessness in my heart.The road to C City is so tortuous, could it be that the infected body has already healed before he arrives?

Or... dead?

But he didn't voice his concerns.Presumably, Mr. He is also aware of these possibilities. Since he didn't say anything, then he should not break the superficial calm.

The three cars walked quietly through the endless rain, bypassed the intertwined streets, and drove out from the edge of the town.

Xiang Jiayun was a little nervous, worried that he would run into someone ambushing on the side of the road in the next minute.In particular, Teacher He's state was completely opposite to his. He was helping him polish the brand new axe, moving slowly.

Every car parked on the road has become suspicious, and every movement has become a harbinger of interception.But every time these suspicions and omens are false, hanging his emotions on a tightrope and playing with them are all his shadows.

He hung his heart and drove for half an hour, but he didn't find any living people on the side of the road.That group of people should have been waiting for them at the edge of the town for a while, and they had already been left behind by this time.

Gently holding his wrist with one hand, He Chen put down his weapon, and comforted him with a calm voice: "It's okay, let me drive it instead, you go to rest."

He parked the car in a daze, and only realized that his nerves were too tense just now when he got into the co-pilot.He didn't worry too much in the past. Presumably, the amplification of negative emotions is also a sequela of infection, just like the violent emotions that have appeared before.

Teacher He flattened the seat for him before starting the car, "Sleep for a while, I'm by the side."

Xiang Jiayun lowered his eyes, and his body and mind suddenly relaxed because of these words.The previous wasted effort in the hospital also had its consequences, and the soreness gradually hit everywhere.He curled up on the seat, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said in a low voice, "Good afternoon, Mr. He."

He Chen smiled shortly, "Good afternoon."

**

He fell asleep to the sound of rain, even in his dream it was continuous rain, and when he woke up, the ticking sound of hitting the car made him think he was in a dream.It took me a while to come back to my senses, the surroundings were so dark that it was hard to tell whether it was evening or early morning.

Raising the wrist, the pointer on the dial could not be seen clearly.

Xiang Jiayun murmured subconsciously: "Teacher He..."

"Yes." He Chen answered casually, like a roll call in college, but the roles of the two were reversed.

Even though he was drowsy, he was amused, and slowly got up from the seat, "What time is it?"

"The sun is about to set."

Following this answer, Xiang Jiayun subconsciously looked towards the horizon.Today's sun is hidden behind heavy clouds, revealing only pale and dim light.

"Did something happen on the way?" He asked, then turned his head to look behind, and the other two cars were still following steadily.

"No, it should have been thrown away." He Chen looked at the street signs passing by the side of the road, "But just in case, let's rest later today."

Nod to Jiayun.If the two of them took turns driving, it would be fine if they didn't stop to rest, but Zhuang Fan had to be self-reliant after suffering.

"Shall I drive instead?" He adjusted the seat back to its original position and turned his slightly stiff neck.

Teacher He didn't agree. Instead, he turned his head and took a look, "How do you feel physically? It was raining and fighting zombies at noon, do you still have the strength?"

In fact, he was already used to this half-dead state, and a slight improvement would be enough for him to charge forward for a while.So even when Teacher He asked him this question, he just shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't I sleep well? It's pretty good, so you don't have to worry. That's right! My little white mouse..."

Thinking of her pet, Xiang Jiayun half-knelt on the seat anxiously, and turned her head to look at it.However, a hand was suddenly thrust over his head, just blocking the gap between him and the roof of the car. He Chen said in a helpless tone, "Be careful, such a stupid brain won't hit you. Your little white mouse is very good, panting faster than you." uniform."

He sat back to his original position in a daze. Although he was wronged, he would scold him back even if he was scolded. He retorted in a low voice: "I'm driving and my hands are still loose. It's not the time to die together. I don't want to be limped in another car accident." , and then I will be a fateful mandarin duck with you."

He Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard his lack of confidence, "Okay, don't be a mandarin duck. I'll take you to survive, and we'll be a pair of desperadoes who can't die."

Xiang Jiayun's heart skipped a beat.Since the confession that night, the relationship between them has never really been confirmed, but they just continued to walk together tacitly.But the sentence just now seemed to put their relationship on the bright side, like a gem that had been hidden for a long time suddenly saw the light of day, dazzling so shockingly.

The hand on top of his head gradually loosened, but returned after leaving and rubbed his hair.

"No?" Teacher He's tone was aggressive.

His weakness was thoroughly pinched by He Chen, and after his hair was messed up, his mood was also messed up.He didn't stop doing it, and reached out to rub Teacher He's hair. After rubbing, he smoothed the hair back and made a temporary big back by hand.

...however, it looks good like this.

"Yes, yes." He said perfunctorily, but his eyes were focused on He Chen who was driving seriously, "Let's go to the end of the world and be a pair of post-apocalyptic backpackers."

After he finished speaking, he smiled, and sat back honestly, "It's the most taboo to say such things in the last days, Mr. He, don't you think?"

He Chen's hair escaped, but the man was a little absent-minded, and asked, "What?"

"It's usually very dangerous to talk about future plans in the apocalypse," Xiang Jiayun deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was telling a horror story, but the smile in his words couldn't be hidden, "There is a high probability that it will not come true."

The car was quiet for two seconds, and He Chen chuckled, "As long as it's not impossible, no matter how small the probability is, it's [-]% to me."
