Under the dark night sky, in a small village a few kilometers away.

Flames tumbled in the air, and the air seemed to smell of burnt paste.

The wailing was not over, many ragged people helped the wounded up, and the corpses of the zombies were thrown into the fire.

No one spoke, only low sobs. Even the child's cry was covered by the adult.

A big man was covered in blood, his intestines were torn out, and he fell to the ground. Next to him was a man with beautiful eyebrows, a thick body, wide shoulders and long legs, squatting down to support him, and a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old stood beside him.

The surviving villagers stood around, weeping silently.

The big man shook the man's hand and said with difficulty: "Brother Zhixuan, the eldest brother is no longer good." It's a pity that I can't protect this village with you. I don't have to struggle with this damn world. ”

He smiled and coughed up a mouthful of blood and said, "Is there any smoke? What Yuxi, Hongmei." Even if it's an old dry tobacco, you can take a sip. ”

Mu Zhixuan couldn't help crying, reached into his pocket with shaking hands, and took out a cigarette case, which only had ten cigarettes left. He took out one and put it in the big man's mouth, and put the others back in his pocket, and a fire appeared in the palm of his hand and lit it for him.

The big man took a deep breath, and just when he wanted to laugh contentedly, he coughed up a mouthful of blood again.

"You kid, you still have this good thing hidden. I didn't give it to you how many times I asked for it. ”

After speaking, he took a deep puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke ring, and put down his hand with a smile on his face.

Mu Zhixuan leaned over the big man and wept silently. It's not that the boy doesn't shed tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place.

The little girl next to her cried mournfully: "Uncle Wang......"

A thin man hugged Mu Zhixuan's shoulder and said, "Brother Mu, mourn." Now you can take us out of here, let's go to Shengjing, right? There are more and more zombies here, and we can't stay any longer!"

Mu Zhixuan wiped his face, stood up, hugged his daughter, and looked at the remaining dozen or so people around him, feeling extremely heavy in his heart.

He said in a deep voice: "Folks, we can defeat this fire zombie this time, it's all up to Brother Zhang's hard work, and now ZF can't take care of it himself, it seems that no one will save us." We can't sit still, whoever wants to go with me, I will take him to the Shengjing safe area with me, and as long as I am alive, I will try to protect everyone's safety. If you don't want to be together, I won't force it. ”

Even if some of the villagers present did not want to leave, they could not say anything. Because the masters are gone, who else will protect them. They have no powers, no force, only refuge in others. Because no one wants to die.

Mu Zhixuan looked at the villagers, and then said, "I will lead everyone, and ugly words will be in front." I'm not going to divide everyone evenly like the old village chief, I can only guarantee the safety of those who fight as hard as they can. These are extraordinary times, each of us needs to fight, and if anyone wants to fish in troubled waters, cheat and slip, I am not welcome here. ”

After speaking, he looked at each villager and said resolutely: "I will never leave the people who follow me to fight as hard as I can." ”

The thin man immediately stood up: "Brother Mu, I admire you the most among so many people, since the outbreak of the disaster, you have killed the most zombies with your brothers." I'm with you.

Several people standing with him immediately followed, and said, "Brother Mu, you have nothing to say about your character, we support you." ”

A gentle girl stood up and supported Mu Zhixuan: "My father told me before he died, saying that Brother Mu, you are chivalrous, let me follow you and live well in this troubled world." ”

Mu Zhixuan patted the girl on the shoulder: "Yang Qing, thank you and your father for your trust, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to settle here when the disaster just broke out, for him, I will definitely protect you." ”

Most of the other villagers followed Mu Zhixuan. Only one person was full of sarcasm: "Mu Zhixuan, why do you lead the people in the village as an outsider, and why do you point fingers at our affairs?"

Everyone looked at this person, and saw that this woman had high cheekbones, thin lips, and long hair that reached to her waist. There were a few people standing behind her, all of them lazy ruffians in the village, looking unwilling.

The thin man immediately sarcastically said, "Yo, Aunt Zhang, of course you don't want to listen to Brother Mu." You want to continue to take advantage of the big guys, who of us are stupid?"

The villagers have long had an opinion about these people, and when they killed zombies, they were always behind, but when it came to distributing food, they ran faster than anyone else, and grabbed more than anyone else.

The woman surnamed Zhang was immediately furious, pointed at the thin man and scolded: "I'm caonima, who am I taking advantage of Lu Er, you tell me clearly!"

Lu Er just wanted to speak, Mu Zhixuan waved his hand and said: "I don't want to accept my leadership, I don't force it, dare to follow me when I leave, just like this......" A fireball appeared in his palm, and he threw it at the zombies who had not been thrown into the fire on the side of the road, and the zombies immediately burned.

The woman surnamed Zhang was startled and didn't dare to speak out for a while. The next few people also cowered, and no one dared to come forward.

After Mu Zhixuan finished speaking, he turned around and began to tell everyone to go back and pack their luggage, telling everyone to take as little as possible and only take the necessities of life.

Before leaving, burn Brother Zhang's body to prevent him from turning into a zombie.

In the end, it was decided to set off with the villagers the next day.

Mu Zhixuan led Tian Tian back to his home - this brick house was rented to him by the old village chief when he first arrived, saying that it was rented, but later he confiscated a penny.

As soon as he entered the house, Mu Zhixuan took out his hiking backpack, which was full of instant noodles and biscuits, and several large bottles of mineral water. While telling Tian Tian, he said, "Tian Tian, put chocolate in your bag and save some food." Put the little blanket in your bag, it's already cold at night, don't freeze. ”

Just wanted to continue to stuff things into the bag, suddenly felt that the room was very quiet, Tian Tian didn't make a sound at all, he looked up in surprise, only to see Tian Tian staring at a doll in a daze, was distracted.

He couldn't help but walk over and hug Tian Tian and asked, "What's wrong, my little Tian Tian, do you miss your mother?"

Tian Tian nodded, and said with a crying voice: "Dad, look, this is made by my mother, and when it is done, we all say that it looks good, only you say that it looks like your mother - ugly." ”

Mu Zhixuan originally thought of Xiao You's annoyed and angry look after hearing this comment and wanted to laugh, but when he thought that she was no longer there, he couldn't help but feel sad.

I couldn't help but look at the doll in my hand. This is a doll made of rags and wool, a purple gauze skirt, a pink blouse, for this doll, Xiao You has scourged several clothes, and as soon as she complained, Xiao You retorted, saying that she was recycling.

Mu Zhixuan became more and more sad the more he looked at it, put down the doll in his hand and said: "Tiantian, my mother is gone, watching us from afar, we have to live well for her, good, let's pack up quickly, and leave here tomorrow." ”

Tian Tian hugged his neck, tears wet his clothes, and cried: "Mom, I miss Mom...... There are monsters everywhere, Dad, I'm afraid, don't leave me, don't leave me......"

The corners of Mu Zhixuan's eyes were moist, too much life and death parting made the child sensitive, his big hand stroked Tiantian's back, and said: "Dad won't leave you, never leave, protect you, Tiantian, you have to be brave, your mother is a strong woman, shouldn't you learn from her?"

Tian Tian slowly stopped crying and nodded.

Mu Zhixuan set his eyes on the dark sky, thinking to himself: "Xiaoyou, I miss you, I am not suitable for Tiantian without you." You watch over there, I will definitely protect our sweetness and let her live well. ”
