Chapter 250: Apocalypse of the Living Dead (25)
Soon after nightfall, after the disappearance of the dark blue in the west, darkness enveloped Minamijuku City.
The clouds that were gathering had an eerie red color and gradually deepened. Death spread in the north of Nanjuku City, and there was no light, and the billboards on the side of the road were blown by the strong wind, and garbage and debris were also flying with the strong wind. Dark clouds cover in the distance, thunder and lightning appear, and you can see a flash of light, and a heavy rainstorm is coming.
The vehicle was driving at high speed on the road, and its rapid speed had the potential to break through the siege of the living dead. Wheels move in and out of the edge of the road, uneven ground makes a screeching sound as it cuts through the base, and the driver is skilled and quick to dodge obstacles. The occasional thud of the wheel rolls over the bodies of the living dead, and the blood of the rotting corpse splatters. They were followed by a large number of living dead, relentlessly chasing.
There was no doubt that the occupants of the car were waiting for death as soon as they got out of the car, and its only target was a faint light in the distance.
Xiao Lan never imagined that she would immerse herself in the host's emotions and memories with the intention of indulgence.
She knew Laneige couldn't drive, but she did.
She knew that even if Father Lan went to the refuge area, it would be a dead end, but she still tried to win a chance in her own way.
For the first time, instead of observing one's emotions from the perspective of a bystander, one participant.
What kind of emotion is that?
Unlike the usual cold and rational within her, sadness spread, seeping through every crevice of her body from the air until it filled all of her. The fear of imminent loss kept dragging her from reality into the boundless abyss of memory, from which she could not extricate herself.
Laneige's memories of his two lives are like slides, projecting in Xiao Lan's mind.
She was picked up by her father for the first time, she stood up for the first time in the joy of her parents, the back she saw after she went to school for the first time, the wonder she felt about life after the birth of her brother, and the family at the table after returning from school, learning to swim with her father's encouragement...... It was heartbreaking to come back and see the tragic death of the whole family.
Her memories kept pouring back, and time passed extremely painfully in the high-speed driving vehicles.
Behind the sadness and the panic of losing everything, she has gained emotional resonance, which has always come from behind Laneige's emotions, a heartfelt sense of being cared for and a warm and safe feeling.
Memories are proof of how people connect with people.
Xiao Lan has always had a sense of detachment, in every world, she is like a cloud floating in the sky, she has nothing to do with everyone in this world, she has always been an outsider. From Meng Po's point of view, she peeked at everything in the world, but she never found her place. The only thing that aroused her emotions in each mission was the disgust brought in by the host's emotions. It wasn't her emotion, but it could easily invade her mind and affect her behavior.
Emotions that obviously don't belong to him are pressed on him, such a feeling inexplicably makes Xiao Lan repulsed, and there is also the disgust that his inner territory is violated.
But today's indulgence is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.
In this catastrophe of the century, people abandoned everything old and entered a new life, and they will surely leave a strong mark on the history that follows. In the eyes of onlookers, this period of time is of epoch-making significance, and it is naturally beneficial to the future development of human society, and they will also recognize the tragic experience of the people of this era. However, it is precisely from the perspective of a bystander, no matter how much we understand, no matter how much we analyze, no matter how we reproduce, that we still cannot appreciate the life and death that people are experiencing now.
This world is tragic that Xiao Lan has never seen before, and everyone will experience the grief of loss and departure.
Parents lose their children, wives lose their husbands, children become orphans, and the order of the whole society collapses...... Such a seismic change came unexpectedly.
In such an alternation of the old and the new, Xiao Lan inexplicably felt a sense of belonging.
She realized that being Meng Po was different from others, but life was the same for everyone.
Death is not a variety of descriptions in the population, and the passing of life has a subtle effect on the living.
At the moment of the death of a loved one, the emotions felt by a person are complex and varied. Dying, the fear and fear of loss in my heart, but there is still a subtle hope, and I pray carefully. At the moment of real loss, the tearing pain caused by the separation of the relationship, the pain after the dust settles. The traces of the living relatives still exist in all aspects, and every touch will trigger a feeling of loss, and memories converge between gains and losses, and are on the verge of suffocation.
This is exactly Xiao Lan's complex emotions at the moment, she is feeling the surroundings with black and white transformation, and perceiving the meaning of Meng Po's profession......
The perimeter of the urban quarantine area was extremely fast, and all the main passages were sealed off by the containers brought in from the port, and a safe zone was enclosed as a buffer zone.
In the darkness of the night, a rainstorm is approaching, and the helicopter hovers over but refuses to fall. The entrance to the quarantine area was the only obvious light within a hundred miles, the headlights illuminated the surroundings, the living dead were constantly invading, not making them feel the pressure, and the armaments and weapons that arrived in the evening were enough to make them arrogant.
"Citizens, please follow the instructions and stay away from the high-voltage isolation network! Wait in the buffer zone in front of you for a while, and wait for the relevant medical staff to check before you are allowed to enter. This is for everyone's safety, please cooperate!"
The commander from the heights shouted with a megaphone, maintaining order. The crowd inside the fence breathed a sigh of relief, but the crowd outside the fence shouted again.
"I said let people in, but we've been waiting all afternoon!"
"Didn't a few people get in just now, and why did we have to wait for the investigation before we could go in?"
"My daughter has a high fever and is unconscious, when will I be able to go in?!"
"It's going to rain heavily, are we going to rain here?!"
The commander knew the current situation, and the crowd outside the isolation network numbered hundreds, at least, hundreds, and in the case of limited supplies that could not be delivered, if they were accommodated, a large number of people would continue to come. Everyone wants to save people, but he can't, he is not ruthless, he is really helpless.
"Please calm down, we will distribute supplies to everyone tonight, please spend the night in the buffer zone. After the commander coordinated with his superiors, he finally came up with a compromise to calm the emotions of the masses.
The supplies also fell from the high containers one after another under his order. Simple tents sheltered from the wind and rain, dry food bottled water filled the hunger, the mood of the masses was temporarily calmed, and the scene became harmonious. Everyone also held out hope and hurriedly erected tents to avoid the coming rainstorm, and the orderly division of labor made the tent appear in the open space.
"There are zombies!" the crowd panicked again after an exclamation, and the people with high fever and serious illness began to rise up to attack the people around them, and the scene was uncontrollable. Fear spreads through the crowd, people flee to escape, "bang!" a gunshot, suddenly wake up the living dead are shot and fall, the sniper on the high place signals safety, and the threat is easily resolved.
But at this moment, the environment changed again. The blaring sound of vehicle horns sounded as if it were coming from all directions. Someone noticed a car on the road a hundred meters away, the screeching high beams blurred the vision, and when they got closer, everyone saw the vehicle chasing more than thirty living dead......
