【Ran Yu's 19th letter to Hem】

To hum:

Sorry for taking so long to reply to your letter, it was still winter when I received your last letter, and it was already summer when I started writing this letter.

In the meantime, I actually wrote a letter, but I didn't send it.While writing this letter, I tore up and burned the letter full of last words, together with the letter to my parents.

Last winter, I suddenly developed a high fever. When the medicine at home was finished, they went to the pharmacy to buy medicine.You know, pharmacies outside the city are far away and often run out of stock.I slept at home for two days, and then the kind old man from the pharmacy came to deliver the medicine to me and told my parents that they had an accident on the road and were eaten by mutant beasts.

It’s hard to describe the mood at that time. I felt completely disconnected from the world, which was very boring, like a kite with a broken string—you told me last time that children in the city can fly kites in the open space.I asked my parents, and they made me a kite at the time, saying that I could fly it after I entered the city, and the open space there would not be dangerous.

After hearing the news, I didn't want to take medicine, and I thought it would be better to just burn like that.At that time, my consciousness was very blurred, and I wrote you a letter of nonsense, and I was going to sleep and go to see my parents.When I fell asleep, I thought of the kite again, and then I thought about getting up and reading the letter you wrote to me before going to see my parents.But the night after reading it, I didn't want to fall asleep like this again.I went to take antipyretics.

In the next six months, the feeling like a broken kite often came back, and every time I would reread the letter you told me about how to fly a kite.After reading it, I felt that the thread seemed to be connected.

Anyway, it's all over now.For half a year, I managed to survive here alone. My parents always said they were worried about my future and urged me to do questions and practice. I was still very impatient.But now I know that those boring and painful combat training can really keep me alive.

I am 15 years old this year, do you still remember the first bookshelf I made by myself that I told you before?I am much taller than it now, and will be taller in the future.In the past six months, I have killed many ferocious beasts alone, and I feel that I have become more and more powerful.I can certainly handle the dangers in the city that you mentioned.

So don't be afraid, when I enter the city in the future, I will protect you.

PS: Remember what you promised me, I really want to fly a kite with you.

The sea ghost twisted its uncoordinated body, hissed with the tip of its bright red tongue, and swung its head towards Lou Yue.

This seems to be a sea ghost that has just been infected, and part of the palm is changing from human skin to scales at a speed visible to the naked eye. The dirty shirt on his body is torn apart by the mutated body, hanging on the slippery scales one by one. superior.The moment he rushed over, Lou Yue quickly dodged and kicked him on the chest at the same time.

The sea ghost was kicked back two or three steps. In just a few seconds, the human features on his body had disappeared.

Lou Yue's retracted foot left sticky marks on the ground. He was a little surprised, because according to his strength, this kick was enough to kick a grown man of that size four or five meters away.

The head nurse and the vice president screamed and backed away, Lou Yue pulled Ran Yu up and ran towards the administration building.

They didn't run a few steps before the sea ghost stood firm and swayed over again, making loud noises from its throat, opening and closing its sharp claws, trying to tear the fresh flesh into pieces.Lou Yue drew the gun from his waist and shot Hai Gui in the heart without hesitation.

The moment the bullet touched the sea ghost's slippery scales, its speed seemed to be disintegrated, and it fell limply to the ground without causing any harm to the sea ghost.

Lou Yue frowned: "Bullets can't deal with it, hurry into the building! I'll call for backup!"

Before he finished speaking, the vice president who ran to the entrance of the administrative building a few steps earlier screamed heart-piercingly.

It turned out that at some point, another sea ghost lurked out of the bushes, grabbed the vice president at the door, threw him down on the spot, opened his mouth and began to bite.

The vice president's throat was bitten off, and blood gushed out.The sea ghost hastily stretched out its long tongue, sucking blood greedily, and at the same time with its claws, it tore off the vice president's arm and shoulders alive, opened its mouth to half the size of its head, and stuffed its arms into its mouth , chewing crunchingly.

Broken bones and blood mixed with minced meat kept slipping from the sea ghost's big mouth. The vice president was not completely dead, but his throat was bitten off and he was unable to speak anymore. The remaining broken body and muscles were still there. Trembling and twitching, it looked like a shrimp that had its head removed and was still struggling with its nerve response.

The head nurse at the side was already so frightened that her legs became weak. She dragged her legs and almost crawled to the door, knocking on the door desperately, and a desperate trill came out of her throat: "Open the door, help... "

But she didn't dare to scream too loudly, for fear that the monsters who were eating satiated would be angered, and even more afraid of attracting more monsters.

The administrative building is surrounded by dense bushes half the height of a person, and there is only one path for people to enter and exit.No one knows how many such monsters there are among the swaying dense leaves, and whether they will jump over and nibble greedily when people approach.And the only exit was blocked by the sea ghost that came out first.

It was originally a design to find tranquility in a noisy environment, but now it is convenient for sea ghosts to catch people in their urns.

Lou Yue and Ran Yu were powerless to rescue the vice president who died a few meters away.Because three sea ghosts of similar size sprang out of the bushes in front of them one after another, and they were in a stalemate at this time.

The three sea ghosts were not in a hurry to show their fangs at the food, but walked up to the first sea ghost, making loud noises from their throats.The first sea ghost seemed to be very frightened. He tore off the white cloth strips hanging from his body, and made a similar sound in his throat.

These sea ghosts were communicating, perhaps arguing over differences of opinion.Lou Yue stared closely at the monster in front of him, and even felt that he was having an extremely absurd dream.

Sea ghosts have been introduced in the history textbooks of the main city, but all versions of the textbooks believe that sea ghosts no longer pose a threat to humans in the main city. It has not yet succeeded in stepping out of this plateau in large numbers, and this talk of prosperity only applies to the human settlements surrounded by high walls on all sides.

The head nurse finally knocked on the door, and the doctors in the building saw the tragic situation outside, covered their mouths and dared not make a sound, but dragged the trembling head nurse into the door.Before closing the door, the doctor waved anxiously in the direction of Lou Yue and Ran Yu.

Lou Yue said in a low voice: "I'll block them, you go hide in the building first, call the police for support."

"You can't deal with them, guns don't work." Ran Yu also whispered.

The sea ghost's skin covered with fine scales secretes a layer of mucus. Ran Yu has seen the introduction in the museum before.This is a non-Newtonian fluid. There is no linear relationship between shear stress and shear deformation rate. When a force is applied, the structure of the liquid itself will change. The stronger the force, the harder the liquid will become.Before the end of the world, this principle was usually used to make liquid body armor.And the sea ghost is almost covered with this kind of mucus.

"That's better than being empty-handed and without a weapon. Go, I can block for a while, and then I'll be there." Lou Yue pushed Ran Yu quietly.Members of the Security Bureau usually need to apply for approval before they can hold guns. Ran Yu, who was temporarily seconded, has not yet registered with the inspection team to obtain the right to issue guns.

Ran Yu opened the briefcase he was carrying and took out a folded axe.He quickly recovered the ax three or two times, took out a dagger from the back waist covered by the coat, and even pulled out two thin double-edged swallowtail darts from the outer sides of the police boots.

Lou Yue was taken aback by this series of smooth and flowing movements of drawing out weapons: "You usually have such a complete set of equipment when you go out?"

While talking, the four sea ghosts finally lost their temper.They seemed to have reached a certain consensus, and instead of arguing and communicating, they rushed towards these two together.

Ran Yu hurriedly stuffed the dagger and dovetail dart into Lou Yue's hands, and quickly said, "Bulletproof is not puncture-proof. One person and two ghosts, gather in the building."

Lou Yue instantly understood what Ran Yu meant.He took the dagger, returned the dart to Ran Yu, and stabbed the dagger into the throat of a pounced sea ghost with his backhand.The blade pierced the throat smoothly, and bright green blood gushed out. Lou Yue quickly turned his face away and backed away, but the uniform was still stained a lot.There is a highly infectious virus in the sea ghost's green blood.He quickly took off his coat, wrapped the coat around the head and neck of the other sea ghost, and cut off its cervical vertebrae with a knife.

There was a salty smell in the air, which seemed to be the smell of sea ghost's blood.

The dense leaves in the bushes trembled again, and there were chaotic footsteps approaching in the distance, maybe they were attracted by the smell.

Lou Yue turned to look at Ran Yu, who happened to have solved the work in his hand extremely neatly, and waved to him.

Just as Lou Yue was about to walk towards Ran Yu, he saw a sudden change in his face, and then a swallowtail dart flew over, almost brushing Lou Yue's hair.

When the swallowtail dart flew over, Lou Yue didn't move. There was a slight sound when the tip of the dart pierced into the flesh. Lou Yue turned his head, swung the dagger and stabbed the sea ghost behind him, and it went straight into the heart.This cunning sea ghost finished eating the vice president, and while Lou Yue and the others were concentrating on dealing with other sea ghosts, he sneaked around and prepared to sneak attack.

Five sea ghosts lay dead on the ground, and the salty smell in the air became stronger.Lou Yue and Ran Yu ran quickly to the front of the administrative building. The head nurse and doctor who had been standing behind the door, trembling, quickly opened the door, locked the door, and moved heavy objects such as sofas to block the door.

Not long after the door closed, the sea ghosts who arrived were banging on the door frantically, scratching at the door with their sharp claws, as harsh as sawing on the nerves.

The doors are not thin, but no one can breathe a sigh of relief.Because more and more sea ghosts gathered from all directions outside the building, they knocked on the door with increasing force, and sometimes even the solid door could not hold on.

After entering the door, Lou Yue quickly contacted the Security Bureau and the City Defense Station, briefly explained the situation, and asked for reinforcements.Fortunately, the communication lines are unblocked, but due to the long distance, the fastest reinforcements will have to wait until 10 minutes later.

At this time, the staff on duty in the administrative building heard the sound one after another, but they didn't know what happened, so they had to look around like headless chickens to ask people.They asked all the way to the first floor, and saw the hellish scene outside through the glass.In an instant, the sound of suppressed sobs and cries mixed together.

"How many people are there in your building now? Are they all here?" Lou Yue looked at the countdown on the communicator and asked.

"There seem to be twelve of them, all of them are here." The doctor kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, trying to identify the people present, and said, "Today is the day off in the hospital, and there are not many people on duty."

"Are there any windows or warehouses in the building?" Lou Yue asked.

The doctor was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Yes, there is a basement on the first floor, which is used as a warehouse and has no windows."

Iron railings were added to the glass windows on the first floor, but the thin iron strips did not hinder the swarming sea ghosts.Some sea ghosts have already begun to divide the work, some knock on the door, and some use brute force or pick up bricks to smash the window.

"Everyone, take refuge in the underground warehouse." Lou Yue said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, rescue will arrive soon."

A group of people hurried to the basement, Ran Yu and Lou Yue broke up.

The gate of the administrative building was gradually deformed, the door panel was cracked, and claws protruded in, holding the swallowtail dart that was left out before and slamming the door frantically.The iron bars outside the window were bent, and a sea ghost turned sideways, trying to climb in through the window.

Some people fell down and were lifted up, and some were blinded and ran forward with the help of others.The short walk was very uneven.Finally, everyone successfully entered the basement.The moment the iron gate was closed and locked, the gate was breached, and the sea ghosts squeaked like wild ducks, and all rushed into the corridor, looking for prey everywhere, and preparing to have a sumptuous meal.
