Chapter 20: The Lady Who Sighs (56)
I silently felt the sobbing sound coming from Shen Lin, and I remembered that in this world, no matter what era it is, not every woman is the same as me.
What do I count like this? I don't really know. Compared to ordinary women, I am a little different. After all, I had an experience that many people would never have experienced. After all, my experience was just too much to understand.
I'm an elf. To be precise, I was an elf before. The special identity of elves is something that many races, especially all races in this world now, have never experienced. An elf, first of all, has a different worldview from other creatures. When I was an elf, I loved all life and was saddened by the loss of any life. Because, the elves themselves are a race that loves nature and life very much.
However, after I became an undead, I felt that no matter what kind of life you have, whether it is a high god or a small or even insignificant little rainbow sperm, there is only one most important destination: that is, a complete return to the ultimate origin of the world, that is, death, complete death.
And any life, for us, is a virus, a mutation, something that is not recognized by our undead race. Even God is the most important object of our harvest. But I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, we still haven't found the existence of a so-called God. If there really are gods in this world, the final outcome of our life is either that we destroy those gods, or that those gods make us the dust of this world.
But then again, whether it's an undead or an elf, there are still some similarities. That is, no matter what, whether it is an undead or an elf, I will not panic when I encounter something. Even if it's a desperate thing, for me, it's true.
For me, the catastrophes I've experienced are so many that it's hard to imagine. Maybe to some people, it's as if what I'm experiencing just exists in a biography or an illusion. But I can only laugh at this, after all, I am real, everything I have experienced is real.
However, Shen Lin was just an extremely ordinary human being hundreds of thousands of years ago before me. I still don't know what the profession of a head nurse is. But I know that such a profession is certainly not the same as that of warriors, magicians, and archers in our time.
It's hard for me to imagine what this woman has been through in the past ten years. In the apocalyptic age, even I wouldn't be able to survive for so long. However, she, an ordinary person, did just that. Why is that? What is going on? I don't know.
But what I do know is that this ordinary woman who seems to be extremely powerful but has an extremely fragile heart has relied on to support her until now. Perhaps, it is waiting for rescue that does not exist at all?
yes, maybe. Maybe Shen Lin has been fantasizing all along, fantasizing that one day, there will be a large group of human beings who will suddenly find her who has been living alone for several years, and let her return to the normal human world and live an ordinary and simple life again. That's right, the reason why Shen Lin has been able to persist until now must be for such an ethereal and illusory idea.
However, I don't know why, so I told the real truth. Why did I say this?
"I'm sorry. I said apologetically, "I really didn't think I'd say that, I was wrong." I'm sorry, Shen Lin. ”
Who knew that Shen Lin smiled at me like he was nothing: "It's okay, I knew that such an idea was empty and didn't exist." Your presence has only shattered my unrealistic illusions. Nothing, really nothing. For me, even if they were able to wipe out all the zombies again, I wouldn't be able to make it to that day. Well, now life still has to go on. Nothing, really nothing. It's just that we still have to endure it these days, and I'm afraid that it's a little dangerous outside. ”
Next, I didn't speak. Instead, he was trying to get his eye hurt back. It's just that, as Shen Lin said, such an injury can't be cured in just a few minutes and a second. One day, three days later, I was finally able to see the outside world again.
Yes, I finally saw it. Even though it was daytime, there wasn't much light coming in from the cave. Perhaps, as Shen Lin said, she completely sealed the entrance of the cave, so that she could avoid those zombies outside from finding here, and secondly, she could also shelter us from the heat, which was a good place to go.
And I really saw Shen Lin at this time.
What a thin and frail woman this is, she is not tall, only 1.5 to 1.6 meters. Perhaps because there has been no sufficient food for a long time, Shen Lin's body is very thin, and my rough estimate is probably only about eighty pounds. Up and down the body, there is hardly a trace of fat.
Her face was similarly thin, and her gray-brown hair was haphazardly tied into a ponytail. She wore a dirty blouse with only half sleeves and a pair of shorts that reached only to the knees. And a pair of shoes that I couldn't tell were made of heavy material. But whether it's clothes, pants, or shoes, I can't see the original color of these clothes. Come to think of it, these must have been on her body for a long time.
At this time, she was curled up and asleep. She was thin and weak, lying on the dry and desolate land, but she looked very peaceful. Perhaps, before that, she spent every day in nightmares.
This cave is not too big, and if there are three more people, then this cave will probably not be able to accommodate us to survive. Looking at Shen Lin now, I thought of going out to find food for her, but I was worried about the strangeness of the unknown, and I was worried that Shen Lin would wake up and find that I was gone, and I didn't know what to do because I was panicked, so I decided to stay in front of Shen Lin and wait for her to wake up.
About half a day later, Shen Lin finally woke up. When she saw me smiling at her, her face was full of joy: "You, your eyes are better!!"
"yes, I'm completely back to normal now. "I loosened my sleeves, but luckily, my weapon was still there. "How did you know my glasses were ready, though?"
"It's very simple, isn't it?" Shen Lin looked at me in a daze, as if by magic, and only after the left and right hands conjured a black short crossbow before he said in a daze: "Because when your eyes are not good, I can't see any light in your eyes." But now, I can see the reflection in your eyes. By the way, excuse me, are these two crossbow arrows?"
"Yes, the crossbow arrow, my weapon of survival, and one of the things I rely on the most. ”
"One?" Shen Lin was taken aback and asked, "Do you have any weapons more powerful than these two crossbow arrows?"
"Absolutely. I smiled and nodded, "What I have is often something you can't imagine." And, such a thing, I don't think you should touch it well, anyway, you just need to know that here I can ... ”
"Can you kill me, right" Shen Lin's eyes became a little dim at this time. "It turns out that you also want to kill me and eat meat. But it's okay, kill if you want. I know you have the power to kill me, and even if you kill me, I won't have any hatred for you. On the contrary, I am grateful for this time with you, and for the relief I have received. ”
Alas, what the hell is this woman trying to beat? I'm a little crying and laughing. "What are you talking about? Why don't you listen to me? What I'm saying is that now I can make your life better, and you don't have to worry about danger when you go out to find food. Got it?"
"Oh, that's right. "Shen Lin was not as happy as I expected, or rather happy. And just a shallow smile appeared, and it was back to normal. "Very well, in this case, at least for the rest of your time, we will not be short of food. ”
"I'm in the situation?" I subconsciously repeated Shen Lin's words, and then I immediately understood what Shen Lin was talking about. yes, when I was there. After all, I am not destined to be from this world, which means that I will leave here one day. If I leave, then Shen Lin's next myth will still be the same as before, living alone in fear. I know, that's not what she wants. "It's okay, I know what you're thinking. I promise, before I leave, I'll let you into what you call humanity's biggest base. Moreover, even if it is me, I don't know what I am going to do to be able to return to the era that belonged to me. ”
"But what's the use of that? Shen Lin interrupted my words and said lightly with a hint of sadness: "This has no effect on me. After all, humanity is dying, so even if I go to that base, what's the point for me and the people who live there? Not at all. However, I really have one more thing to ask of you. ”
My heart skipped a slight beat, and I could already guess what she wanted to say. I tried to stop it, but in the end I chose to listen quietly.
"If, if, I mean if, sigh ma'am. Shen Lin's words suddenly became a little nervous at this time, and after a while, he said to me as if he had made up his mind: "If one day you can go back to your own time, then kill me before you leave, so that I can end this nightmare I have had." ”
I nodded lightly and said, "I'll do it." Now, you can tell me what kind of abilities those zombies out there have. to be able to beat you like this. ”
At this time, Shen Lin finally regained a little smile. "Speaking of zombies, I made a special trip to learn about them when I was bored. Perhaps, this is probably the most detailed human report on zombies. In fact, if you talk about it, there is nothing special about zombies compared to humans. After all, they are transformed from people. They have the same external and internal structures of their bodies as we humans. If anything, zombies are largely unaware of the outside world, meaning that their brains don't do anything other than make them act instinctively. It's just that the heart still has a little bit of a role... ”
"Getting to the point. "What is Shen Lin talking about, I don't understand it at all.
"Okay. Shen Lin sneered: "Maybe this basic medical knowledge is no longer important to you. So I'll talk about the point, the point is that zombies are not like us humans, and everyone's physique is maintained at a relatively mediocre level. Rather, it becomes different with the different conditions of transforming zombies and the growth of the day after tomorrow. Moreover, among them there is also the ancestor of all their zombies, although it looks like it is just a child from the outside, but it is the most terrifying and powerful. ”
"Even I don't know much about the special abilities of these zombies, because in fact, over the years, the types of zombies I have seen, among all the zombie types, are just a drop in the ocean. However, no matter how many types of zombies there are, they all have one thing in common, that is, the blood on their bodies is no longer human blood, and once we humans absorb that blood, we will also become zombies. ”
"Okay, that's some of my understanding of zombies. In fact, after escaping from the settlement, I only saw a few hundred zombies. And a lot of zombies are the kind of ordinary ones that don't have special abilities. However, in the past few days, the zombies seem to have moved a little, and I actually saw a person flying in the sky during an outing. It's like magic. At first, I didn't believe it, but it wasn't until you said you were an undead that I remembered. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked anxiously, "Is it a man who looks young?"
