Chapter 44: The Dead (Part 1)
Do you know what it's like to die in a hopeful moment?"
Chen Yuan turned to look at Li Ao, his expression was flat like a lake without a trace of waves.
Countless large groups of corpses were still rushing from behind him, and Li Ao looked at him in a panic, "You, what are you talking about?"
Chen Yuan shook his head and slowly walked towards Li Ao.
"I experienced that feeling once. ”
Thinking back to what happened in the villa area, Chen Yuan was a little emotional.
"How to put it, it should be like winning 5 million and then accidentally losing the ticket before claiming the prize. Chen Yuan nodded to himself, "In short, it is very painful and desperate, and I feel that God is so unfair to me." ”
Li Ao was still in great fear, and the shadow of death hung over him. The little thought left to survive barely supported his consciousness on the verge of collapse, and he looked around in a panic, trying to find a gap to break through.
"What the hell are you talking about!" his voice distorted in the wind.
Chen Yuan had already walked in front of him, "Come, give it to me." He reached out and took his backpack from Li Ao's body, then turned around and took a few steps back.
Li Ao stood there and looked at him blankly, completely unaware of what he meant.
Chen Yuan casually threw the two backpacks at his feet, he drooped his shoulders and looked weakly at the sky.
A soft glow spreads from the end of the field of vision, and thin clouds dot the sky like a poetic painting.
He sighed as if he was tired, "Ah...... Well, I can't do it anymore. ”
Li Ao became more and more confused, "Chen Yuan, what the hell are you talking nonsense? What should we do now?"
Chen Yuan snorted and looked down at him, "Originally, I didn't plan to kill you so early, but you still want to kill me if you have to come down with me." He looked very sorry and shook his head slightly, "Then there is no way, I can only let you die here." ”
Chen Yuan's words were like a rain of arrows in the sky, violently piercing Li Ao's only remaining will to survive at the moment. There seemed to be a humming sound in his ears that shook his soul, and he spoke incoherently, "Sure enough, you, you really know." ”
Chen Yuan nodded, "Seriously, I think it's a pity that you've been working out for so long, so it's better to spend more time practicing here." He pointed to his head, "After all, the biggest difference between humans and animals is here." ”
Li Ao kept blinking his eyes, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly laughed, "Hehe, don't talk about those useless ones, there are so many zombies now, even if I die here, can you live? You don't want to bury me here!"
Chen Yuan took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one, the smoke lingered in front of him, and he said nonchalantly, "Well, that's the case in theory. He looked around at the huge tide of corpses that were already close at hand, and added, "But there are some things that cannot be explained by theory. ”
As the words fell, a tide of deadly corpses swept over like a tsunami. They crowded through Chen Yuan and engulfed Li Ao in an instant. He twisted his body frantically, his wide eyes fixed on Chen Yuan.
No zombies attacked him......
Why? How so?
He subconsciously thought that he was hallucinating, but the constant piercing pain from all over his body made him undoubted.
Chen Yuan stood on the other side of the corpse tide, the churning smoke blurring the corners of his slightly raised mouth, as if to say to him, "Goodbye." ”
Li Ao seemed to suddenly understand something, and he began to roar Chen Yuan's name like crazy.
After a few moments, his voice grew weaker and weaker, eventually completely annihilated in air.
The tide of corpses continued to converge in this direction, with him as the center of the circle, along the streets in four directions, front, back, left and right, they formed a huge cross. In the center of the cross, the dead Li Ao fell to the ground, and one zombie after another scrambled to pounce on him. Blood spread out along the lines of the ground, Chen Yuan threw away the cigarette butts in his hand, picked up two backpacks, and walked slowly through the corpses to the entrance of the parking lot.
Li Ao couldn't have imagined that from the moment he walked into the safe passage, he had already entered the death script that Chen Yuan had prepared for him.
Killing Li Ao, Chen Yuan didn't have much feeling.
For him, it was also a hidden danger for people like Li Ao to stay, and today he sent it to the door himself, so there was no need to let him live anymore.
Chen Yuan put the two backpacks next to the security booth at the entrance of the parking lot, and then walked to the street where the school bus overturned and double-checked.
Sure enough, as he had observed before, from the rooftop of Canterlot, he really couldn't see the situation here.
Chen Yuan lowered his head and thought about it, and continued to move the remaining materials back in the school bus.
After moving, he was in no hurry to go back.
He followed the street and turned right for a while, then walked into a McDonald's.
After a cursory glance, there were about seven or eight zombies wandering around the first floor, Chen Yuan took out a throwing stick to clean them up, and then jumped from the counter into the workshop inside.
It turned out that he had a part-time job here when he was in school, so he decided to come over and see if he could still cook something to eat. Taking advantage of the fact that the electricity had not been cut off, he opened the cold storage and rummaged through it.
Although the ingredients inside are no longer fresh, they can still be regarded as a rare delicacy in such a bad situation.
Considering that the shelf life of the bread was too short, he didn't make a burger, but just got a bunch of chicken wings and drumsticks. Smelling this familiar scent, for a moment he felt as if he had returned to the normal world he once had.
After all the dishes were out of the pot, Chen Yuan packed the chicken wings and drumsticks, got up and returned to the underground parking lot of Canterlot.
He carried the supplies that had been placed in the security booth to the door to the rooftop in three batches, and when he was done, he knocked on the door hard.
After waiting for a while, the sound of footsteps soon came. The chair was removed, and the passage door was opened a crack. Yang Bin, Lin Hao and the others were guarding the other side of the door, looking at them with solemn expressions.
After confirming that it was Chen Yuan who knocked on the door, Yang Bin immediately reached out and welcomed him in.
"Brother Yuan! Come in!"
"It's okay, there are no zombies in the corridor now. He waved his hand and pointed to the supplies placed on the side of the stairs, "Go and get those supplies." ”
Shen Jingyuan and Tong Xia were relieved to see Chen Yuan come back safely. They were all happy to run over and stand by and watch him.
Seeing that Shen Jingyuan and Tong Xia seemed to get along very well, Chen Yuan was a little surprised.
He handed the bag of chicken wings and drumsticks in his hand to Shen Jingyuan, and said, "This is the McDonald's in the zombie world, you can take it and taste it with the teacher and Weiwei." ”
They felt as if they had smelled this smell before, and they didn't pay attention to it at first, until then they realized that Chen Yuan had brought it back to McDonald's.
"Oh my God......" Shen Jingyuan was obviously frightened, "How did you do it?"
"I worked part-time at McDonald's. ”
"No, I mean so many zombies......"
Chen Yuan smiled, "I hid in it for a while just now, and I made some when I had the opportunity, don't think about it, hurry up and take it and eat it while it's hot." ”
"Aren't you coming to eat?" Tong Xia looked at him and asked.
"Leave me alone, you eat first. ”
The two girls nodded obediently and walked away with the bags.
Lin Hao and the others had just moved the supplies at this time, and realized that Li Ao had not come back with him, so he hurriedly walked to Chen Yuan's side and asked him eagerly, "Where is Li Ao?
Chen Yuan showed a look of regret, "There are too many zombies, he didn't run out and died." ”
Although when he watched them go, Lin Hao felt that this kind of thing might happen. But when he really heard the news, he instinctively didn't want to accept it.
When everyone heard the news, they all fell silent.
Another man died like this, who would be next?
In such an environment, every death will be a painful blow for them.
Li Lan stood a little farther away and whispered, "Is it really the right choice for us to run out of school?"
In fact, she is not alone in thinking about this problem.
Except for Chen Yuan, basically everyone can't help but think about this question.
Seeing that the army's heart was on the verge of dispersion, Lin Hao immediately stood up and comforted everyone, "It must be right to come out of the school, as long as we continue to hold on and find shelter, then we can live." Thinking about the morale-boosting words, he continued: "Now that we have reached this point, we don't need to think about anything else, only the shelter, only when we get there, can we be considered truly out of danger." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Chen Yuan feels that everyone's attitude towards Lin Hao seems to have changed subtly. Especially the people on their own side, it seems to be more obvious.
Seeing that everyone's state was still not very good, Chen Yuan added, "Now that the materials have been retrieved, we can at least continue to hold on for a few days." Don't worry too much, we'll find a way to get out of here. ”
When such words are said at this time, there is a vague feeling of competing for dominance. Except for Guo Qian, Jia Wenting, Wu Zhidong and Lin Hao, everyone else seemed to believe in Chen Yuan's appearance.
After sorting out the supplies, it was almost evening.
After everyone finished distributing the food, they ate in small groups.
Chen Yuan and a large group of people gathered around, chatting and laughing while eating chicken wings and chicken legs.
Seeing Gao Xu and Liang Zaide sitting not far away nibbling bread, Chen Yuan reached out and called them over to eat together.
Guo Qian sat on the other side and looked over here from time to time, feeling envious and jealous in her heart.
While nibbling on the tasteless bread, she said stiffly, "Cut, a group of guys who haven't eaten McDonald's, what's the big deal." ”
As the words fell, a voice suddenly sounded in the distant sky.
The sound grew louder and louder, from far and near, to a helicopter.
