In the past, I often saw some literary and artistic youths or pseudo-literary youths, lamenting the loneliness of being alone. [.A lot of good novels]

At the time, I even felt some resonance, but now that I think about it, in that kind of traffic, the streets are full of friendly people, everyone abides by the law, most people have good thoughts, and the so-called loneliness is just a kind of complaining exclamation because they haven't found a suitable way to entertain.

I already understand the reason why Xu Yiwen cried like that when he woke up.

In the next few days, my spirit is getting better and better, and the wound has almost recovered, every day I wrap myself in a blanket and tilt on the co-pilot to stare at the endless wilderness outside, think about it from another angle, if I take Xu Yiwen, who is always unconscious, I don't know whether to live or die on such a road, then what kind of torment will my heart be?

The language is too barren to express the feeling of desolation and helplessness.

The only thing that accompanied us both was the sound of the engine.

There are a few barrels of gasoline in the back box that Xu Yiwen loaded when I was unconscious, and we don't need to worry about gasoline these days.

Every time he turned a corner, Xu Yiwen had to stop the car, climb onto the roof of the car and look into the distance for a long time to prevent encountering the situation where the road was blocked by abandoned cars, or in case he collided with a large number of walking corpses in front of him.

But fortunately, we haven't encountered such a situation in the past few days.

It's night again, put down the chair in the back seat, I keep vigil, and Xu Yiwen lies down to rest.

There was silence for a long time, and just as I was staring at the darkness outside, Xu Yiwen behind me suddenly whispered: "He Mo." ”

"Huh?" I turned to look at him, it was too dark in the car to see his face.

"You know, during your coma, I passed through many beautiful places, one of which was full of sunflowers, and I stayed on the side of the road for a long time, thinking that if you can't do it, I can bury you in such a beautiful place, and it can be regarded as the best explanation for you."

Xu Yiwen's voice is very soft, as if he is telling a beautiful story, of course, if the premise is that the protagonist is not me.

With a chuckle, I spoke, "It's a pity that I didn't die, otherwise I would have known that I was not satisfied, the place you chose for me at that time."

Xu Yiwen was silent again, and just when I thought he was asleep, he continued to speak: "It's good that you survived-"

He said this in a tone that I can't put into words, with a deep sense of surprise, a deep sigh, and something else.

Early the next morning, when Xu Yiwen got up, I also fell asleep with my head tilted on the co-pilot.

But neither of us got out of the car for a long time, because there was a fat walking corpse outside our car window and yelling at us.

"It's not elegant at all." I frowned and picked up the dagger from the side, and was just about to open the car door to solve him, but Xu Yiwen held him down.

After shaking his head, he pointed to my stomach: "It's not worth it if the wound opens again." ”

After saying that, he climbed directly from the back seat to the driver's seat, skillfully started the car, and then rushed out quickly.

The car immediately sped off the road like an arrow from a string.

Looking at the walking corpse with only a black dot left in the rearview mirror, I said to Xu Yiwen: "Xu Yiwen, these days, the walking corpses we encounter are all very slow?" ”

"What?" A little puzzled by my words, Xu Yiwen turned his head to look at me: "Aren't they all like that, why do you suddenly ask this?" ”

Shaking my head, I wrapped my blanket tightly and spoke: "When I was in that small city before, I went out on a mission with Chen Huan, and it was in a big forest, where the walking corpses ran fast and could climb trees, and I always felt that they had some simple thinking skills. ”

Xu Yiwen's face had a look of disbelief: "How is this possible?" We've been walking for so long, and I've never seen the kind of walking corpse you talked about, are you sick and confused? ”

Shaking my head, I spoke: "Absolutely, I also killed one of them, when I was trapped in a tree by a group of walking corpses like that, and I almost died, how could I be mistaken?" ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Yiwen seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and in the end he just shook his head slightly: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I still can't believe it." ”

Without continuing the conversation, I began to stare out the car window again, and my mind began to think about these recent events uncontrollably.

I think about the problem of the walking corpse the most, no way, if the problem is only in that woods, then it must not matter, after all, a large number of walking corpses have been eliminated, but the problem is, if the problem is not in the woods, but the walking corpses all over the world have undergone some mutations without our knowledge, then the problem is serious.

Suffice it to say, if things were really what I expected, then those of us would have preemptively committed suicide and would have died more simply.

After eating at noon, I didn't want to stay in the car, I went down and stood on the side of the road and looked at the empty grass for a while, Xu Yiwen climbed on the roof of the car and looked at the distance for a long time, and then said to me: "The two of us need a telescope." ”

After taking two deep breaths of the warm spring breeze, I turned my head to Xu Yiwen and smiled: "Yes, it is convenient for our Captain Xu to observe the enemy situation more conveniently;." ”

Xu Yiwen also laughed, jumped out of the car, walked up to me and tightened the blanket and asked worriedly, "Is it cold?" Otherwise, go back to the car first, don't blow the disease. ”

I shook my head, and then turned my head to look at the grass: "It's not cold, it's such a good day, it's uncomfortable to stay in the car all the time, let's stop here for a while, I want to take a good look at the wind here" The last word stuck in my throat like a fish bone, and my face, which was still smiling, instantly stiffened.

After a long time, I pointed to Xu Yiwen who was still staring at me in the distance and said, "Do you think that's a walking corpse??" ”

When Xu Yiwen heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked in the direction I was pointing, but he was also stunned at this look.

However, he must have faced many similar situations while I was unconscious, and just a few seconds later he grabbed me and raced towards the car, shouting as he ran, "It's the walking dead!!" Come on!!! ”

In the distance of the field, and in the vicinity of the sky, a large black oppression, like an ant march, a swarm of walking corpses is surging towards us.

After getting into the car, Xu Yiwen was obviously still a little nervous, and after starting the car, he took a deep breath several times before stepping on the accelerator and running forward.

It's just that there are a small number of walking corpses in the group of walking corpses in places we don't see, and they are rushing out of the walking corpse team at a rapid pace.

The span of walking corpses is very wide, I roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands or more walking corpses in this group, this number is a fantasy number for me and Xu Yiwen, as long as you don't dodge, you will definitely die, but compared with the number of people in our country before, it is only a drop in the bucket.

Judging by the direction of the walking corpses, it is very likely that they will walk in the direction of the road after climbing the road, so it is very likely that they are on the same road as our car, although they are not fast, but we need to rest, but they don't need to.

In this way, if we rest on the road at night, the danger is much higher.

For most of the next day, our car barely stopped, and in addition to the slight roar of the car engine in the car all afternoon, only the breathing sound of Xu Yiwen and I remained.

We both went into a state of tension and no one wanted to speak.

When it was getting dark, Xu Yiwen turned on the car lights, and looking at the little yellow light shining from the car lights in front of me, I suddenly felt very insecure.

This feeling came very suddenly, but it was also irresistible.

I stretched out my hand and hugged my arm, turned my head to look at Xu Yiwen who was driving, and couldn't help but think, how helpless he should be alone during these times when he was rushing with me who didn't know life and death, and where could he seek these sense of security? ?

There is one thing that has not changed over the course of history, and that is that human beings have always been social animals.

Perhaps, it is also the habits that have been cultivated in the past 10 million years that make human beings desperately need partners and help when they are lonely and helpless.

The sky finally darkened completely, although Xu Yiwen was already very tired, but he still wanted to insist on it, but seeing that he was squinting and couldn't open his eyes, I opened my mouth to persuade: "Otherwise, you can sleep first, it's a big deal to wait for the second half of the night, I'll call you up again, let's go again?" ”

Xu Yiwen shook his head when he heard this, probably because he really couldn't hold on, slowly stopped the car, rubbed his eyes and said to me: "Then you work hard for a while, I'll get up after two hours of sleep, let's continue walking." ”

Nodding and helping to pay attention to the outside to make sure it was safe and then watching Xu Yiwen go to the back seat to sleep, I raised my vigilance and looked at the surrounding situation.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was no even the sound of the car engine, only the sound of Xu Yiwen's steady breathing remained.

I wrapped up the blanket tightly and sat on the passenger seat with my legs curled up.

Looking at the thick darkness outside the car window, I couldn't help but start to recall the many strange stories my grandmother had told me before.

Those of the older generation who lived through the Red Age seem to have a lot of such stories in their stomachs.

One of them I remember is particularly profound, that is, if the child has not fallen asleep at night, or suddenly wakes up with a special spirit, if you hear someone shouting at you or making any sound to attract your attention, then do not respond or run to see what the situation is, because usually at this time some unjust ghosts come to find a substitute for reincarnation, once you answer the voice, the soul will be hooked, and then the whole person will die quickly.

The story is a rotten street story, and almost everyone has heard the same or similar version of the story.

But this will be in the car, Xu Yiwen fell asleep and felt like he was alone, and after thinking about it, he seemed to have become the poor worm whose name was called by the ghost in the story.

As soon as I was scared, I began to become sensitive, and I always felt that there really seemed to be some strange sound around me.

With the silence of the night, it looks eerie and amazing.

Finally, I couldn't resist the fear in my heart, and I stiffened my head and didn't even dare to look out of the car window, for fear that I would find a miserable white woman's face at a glance, and perhaps the corners of her mouth were cracked.

In that case, I will definitely burst my blood vessels in an instant, and I will die of scare.

The human imagination is really limitless, and I was not frightened by the walking corpse, but by the images I imagined.

I wrapped my head in a blanket that made me feel much safer.

He buried his face in his knees and shook for a while before he dared to raise his head slightly.

After all, you can't hide like this all the time, you still have to keep vigil.

If a line of corpses comes close to me and I don't find it, then it may cost me and Xu Yiwen their lives.

Coincidentally, this tilted head directly into the rearview mirror in the car.

And what made my scalp explode almost instantly was that at this moment, there was a dark face lying on the glass behind the car in the rearview mirror.

was about to collapse and scream, but he covered his mouth in time.

The eyeballs are about to fall out of their sockets.

Staring at the horrible face in the rearview mirror.

Time and atmosphere seemed to stand still in this moment.
