I instantly realized that the figure in front of me was not a walking corpse at all, but a good person. [hua.super a lot of good novels]-
In the dark, I could only see the approximate size of the other party, and I deduced that it should be a 'girl', she seemed to be very nervous, although the wheezing voice was lowered a lot, but it was still not difficult to hear the trembling in her breathing.
What is she afraid of? Chased by the walking dead?
I hid behind the 'jade' rice pole, hiding in the dark, and for the first time in my life, I felt safe in the dark.
After about half a minute, I saw the 'girl' suddenly close to the wall, and the whole person was tense, and I could clearly feel the fear in her bones from a distance of a room.
With her fear, I heard the cacophony of walking corpses faintly coming from outside the 'door'.
Now it wasn't just her, even I was nervous.
I didn't expect that there would be such a large group of walking corpses in this small village, listening to the formation of this voice, it should be a huge group of walking corpses, the kind with at least a thousand or more, and they happened to pass through the village.
A layer of cold sweat broke out in the palm of my hand, and I looked at the 'girl' child who had almost collapsed in the corner of the wall, and my heart was entangled, such a large group of walking corpses, I can't be sure which of them would break into this house and find her, then I would definitely be unlucky, and it was not a joke to alarm such a large team of walking corpses.
I listened quietly to the direction where the roar of the walking corpse came from, and secretly guessed in my heart that it was still about a dozen meters or a hundred meters away from us, and it was still too late.
My eyes looked at the 'girl' again, she had already fallen to the ground, I seized the opportunity and rushed out from behind the 'jade' rice pole, fortunately the room was not big, and before she could react, I had already rushed to her side and covered her mouth.
She was stunned for less than a second, and then she quickly bent her elbow and slammed it into my stomach.
I didn't expect that the 'girl' child who had been scared into such a thing would have such strength, and my face turned green with pain immediately, and my internal organs were almost twisted into a ball.
She desperately tried to break free from me, I gritted my teeth, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the 'door' of my brain, and my lips trembled and barely spoke: "If you don't want to die, don't make a sound!" ”
Probably because of my 'female' and 'sex' voice, she was not as nervous as she was just now, and the strength of her struggle was also lighter, I held my painful stomach and pointed to the 'jade' rice pole and said to her: "Don't talk, hide in!" Otherwise, neither of us will survive! ”
After saying that, I thought she wouldn't scream anymore, so I let go of my hand and stumbled back on.
When I sat down behind the 'jade' rice pole again, the pain in my stomach had been reduced a lot, but I didn't need to look to know that there must have been a big bruise.
This 'woman' must be a practitioner, and she has a lot of strength
It didn't take long for her to follow.
It turned out to be a very loose space, because the two people were squeezed in, and suddenly it was much narrower.
I retracted the 'legs' to make way for her, and after she set up the 'jade' rice rod, she began to listen vigilantly to the sounds coming from outside.
The first procession of the walking dead had already passed through the 'gate'.
Neither of us spoke, and neither of us even moved anywhere on our bodies.
Gradually, the boiling cries of the walking corpses outside finally 'approached' the house we were in.
You don't need to look to imagine that the cold walking corpses are now densely packed outside, and the 'meat' is emitting a cold roar. (hua.
I leaned my head against the wall, my eyes wide in the dark.
How many of these walking corpses have a chance to be healed?
But they don't have the opportunity to receive those treatments at all, and their end is destined to continue wandering aimlessly, looking for anything to eat, or else they will die in the next few years, or they may be hit in the head by some kind person during this time, and sleep peacefully.
Thinking about it this way, the appearance of those 'medicines' in the shelter is a very good thing compared to the living, at least it represents the hope of living, but for these walking corpses outside, if they can have thoughts, they must feel that it is a great sadness.
The number of walking corpses is too large, and it is impossible for the current number of humans to save them all.
The destruction of the world as it is now is basically frozen, and it is irretrievable.
People are the foundation of this world, but now the number of people is very few compared to the walking corpses.
Although being bitten can be cured, once you encounter a walking corpse, if no one saves you, it is doomed that only the skeleton will be gnawed, and in that case, there is no way to do the 'medicine', so the damned will die.
The destructive power of the virus is still beyond human resistance.
Just as I was thinking about these things, the 'jade' rice poles blocking the entrance of the 'door' suddenly slipped from the edge of the 'door' frame and fell to the ground.
The small movement scared both of us almost out of mind. Sitting up straight, those slight movements had been noticed by the walking corpses outside, and many of the walking corpses followed the sound and broke into the hut where the two of us were hiding.
And the 'jade' rice pole that stood on the side of the 'door' frame was not enough to resist any of them.
In almost a matter of seconds, the hut was already crowded with a dozen walking corpses.
I looked at the 'girl' child, she must have been in a hurry and didn't put the 'jade' rice pole steady.
To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that I wouldn't have been tempted to throw her out and feed the walking dead.
The hand slowly 'touched' into his pocket and took out the dagger, secretly took two deep breaths, and was mentally ready to kill the bloody road at any time.
Although the possibility of killing out is basically zero, but since the situation is like this, there is no way.
We were both shrinking back as much as we could, trying to reduce our sense of presence in the room as much as possible.
Fortunately, there are more 'jade' rice poles in front of us.
But I'm afraid that those walking corpses will come and knock these down as well, and the two of us will be really miserable today
The dozen or so walking corpses wandered around the room aimlessly for a while, and then they were attracted by the roar of the noisy army of walking corpses outside.
What we both feared didn't happen.
After the last walking corpse stumbled out, we both collapsed at the same time.
Before I knew it, my palms were soaked with cold sweat.
I rubbed my palm against my clothes, not daring to withdraw the dagger.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the walking corpses outside had almost passed.
After waiting a few more times and not hearing the screams of the walking corpses, I finally really let go of myself.
The army of the walking dead is terrifying, but it also has the great advantage of attracting almost 90% of the free-moving walking corpses around you into your party.
This is also the reason why some teams have so many walking corpses.
Such a large-scale group of walking corpses only needs to inadvertently pass through some cities, or multiple counties, towns, and villages, and accumulate over time, and it is easy to form a team of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands.
That kind of team is absolutely deadly.
Including this kind of thousand-person regular team with heavy weapons if you want to deal with it, and the kind of hundreds of thousands, if you want to deal with it, the price you pay is unimaginably expensive.
For people like us who are single-handed, we have to run quickly even if we see a team of more than a dozen walking corpses, let alone the large-scale walking corpse group just now.
After about twenty minutes of silence outside, the 'girl' who had been sitting next to me without speaking spoke softly, "Are you alright?" ”
This soft voice is really just her soft voice, and her voice sounds like a boy at first glance.
"The walking corpse hasn't come in, what can I do?"
She said, "I mean, your stomach was embarrassed just now, and you suddenly rushed out to cover my mouth." ”
Hearing this, I sighed: "It's okay, I was afraid that I would suddenly go out and scare you, and I was worried that if you screamed and attracted the walking corpse, we would both die." ”
"Yes." She nodded, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome."
After the basic conversation, we both fell into an awkward silence, and seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, I coughed and asked, "Are you alone?" ”
She stiffened and asked, "Are you alone?" ”
This 'woman' has to be defensive, and her psychology is 'quite strong'.
I nodded, "Yes, alone." ”
She seemed a little surprised: "You have been wandering alone until now?" Always alone? ”
I reminded her, "It's time for you to answer my question first." ”
Only then did she remember, and nodded, "I'm also alone." ”
At this point, I threw back the question she had asked me: "Are you wandering alone?" Always alone? ”
She looked at me, not intending to care about who would answer the question first, and everyone was 'very' honest: "Last month, the last companion died, and now you are the first living person I have ever seen." ”
This has happened too much, I have encountered too much, and I have seen and heard too much, so I didn't plan to comfort her, and I said, "I was accidentally left alone." ”
She turned her head to look at the room and asked, "When did you get here?" ”
"Today."
She groaned for a while: "You look 'very' calm in the face of so many walking corpses just now, and you've been 'wandering' for a long time." ”
Avoiding her last sentence, I said: "It's not calm, I'm in a cold sweat, but at that time I have to ensure absolute silence, and it's a big problem if a little movement is discovered." Aren't you doing a good job, too? ”
She exhaled and leaned her head against the wall: "I was so scared that I couldn't speak, and I couldn't move." ”
chuckled, and I stretched out my hand and said, "Since everyone is one person, it's better to have a companion, so that there is someone to talk to, and it is not very comfortable to be alone." ”
She was stunned, then held my outstretched hand tightly: "Okay!! I'm alone all day and all night, and I can talk to the trees, and I'm almost crazy. ”
After laughing at her a few times, I got up from the ground and got out, came to the 'door' and looked outside to make sure there were no walking corpses, and I helped up the fallen 'jade' rice poles to block the 'door' of the house.
Then when he returned to the house, he said to her, "Let's sleep again, and we'll talk again tomorrow morning to see what to do next." ”
She nodded, and we both stopped talking.
But I also know that two people will definitely not be able to sleep, everyone is not familiar with each other, and it is impossible to trust each other 100%.
No one knows what they will do to them after they fall asleep.
Lying like this, I opened my eyes, and although I couldn't see her expression, I could hear movement.
The room was quiet, and we both lay on guard against each other until dawn.
At the first rays of sunlight in the morning, we both got up in unison.
The moment I saw the 'girl' child's face, I was really shocked.
It was a very unfamiliar face, although it was fair, but a long scar from the tail of the eyebrows to the corners of the mouth made the originally delicate face look much more hideous.
It's really scary at first glance.
Probably 'excited' by my expression, she lowered her head slightly: "I'm sorry to scare you." ”
I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, no, I'm sorry, I'm too rude." ”
She stretched out her hand to cover the scar on her face and said, "I had an old wound two years ago, this scar can't be removed, the wound is too deep." ”
Seeing that her expression began to be infinitely lost, I quickly changed the topic: "Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask you last night, your strength is 'quite big', have you practiced any martial arts before?" ”
She shook her head: "Without me, it's just a lot of strength, my family used to be rural, and I helped farm since I was a child." ”
I looked at her rough hands, and they did look like they were very strong, and their knuckles were thicker than the average person's.
"No wonder, I almost didn't hurt to death yesterday."
"I'm sorry it really scared me."
"Don't apologize all the time, I don't blame you, just say that. Let's be together, I'm sure I'm happy if you have more strength, right? ”
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to give me a smile, but she couldn't laugh, and the expression couldn't go up and down to take advantage of the terrible scar on her face, I really didn't dare to look at it anymore, so I simply turned my face away and got up.
Standing in the room, he said to her, "While it's early, let's go out and see if we can find something to eat?" ”
The 'girl' child nodded and followed me out of the 'jade' rice pole.
The two of us moved around the house and went out.
Before I went out, I noticed that she had a 'big' machete pinned to her waist.
As I had speculated yesterday, walking through the village today, there was no sign of the walking corpse here.
It's quiet all around.
Only occasionally the popping sound of birds flapping their wings as they take off.
The two of us walked on the road for a while before I remembered to ask her name: "My name is He Mo, what do you call you?" ”
"Yaqi, Liu Yaqi."
After walking out for a while, I said to Liu Yaqi: "I guess there is nothing to eat in this place." After saying that, I turned my head and saw a fish pond at the entrance of the 'door' of a house not far away, and I was overjoyed, and said to Yaqi: "Do you like fish?" ”
She was stunned and nodded, "Ang likes it." ”
I pointed to the fish pond and said, "Catch the fish." ”
She also looked over: "The fish there are not estimated to be large, and the fish in the living water are relatively 'fat', and this kind of small pond is not fed by anyone, so it can't grow too big." ”
"It's fine." I patted her on the shoulder: "It's enough for us to eat this meal." ”
