[11] The meaning of life
As soon as Li Chengen came to the entrance of the basement, there was a sudden loud noise, followed by a strong push, and his body flew out involuntarily. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Info His head was dizzy, and he didn't bother to investigate what was going on, so he hurriedly crawled to his wife who had fallen and threw himself on top of her. In the next second, they were almost buried by a cloud of dust and large and small pieces of concrete.
"Ahem...... Poof~" Lee Seung-eun spit out the foreign object in his mouth and began to check his wife and his own body, his body was basically intact, but his wife--he trembled and removed the finger that was probing the tip of his wife's nose--was no longer breathing.
"Don't ......", Li Chengen stroked his wife's face, and used all his strength to control the trembling, "Don't ......"
The huge explosion alarmed people around the hospital, and almost all the police officers in the quarantine area rushed to the blast site. The explosion blew off the roof of the basement, and a large hole was blown out of the exterior wall of the first floor of the inpatient department, filling the entire first floor with smoke and dust.
At the time of the explosion, Li Chengen was on the verge of the impact, almost unscathed except for a few rubble abrasions, but the pain in his heart made him faint a little. He brushed aside the rubble and dust, picked up his wife's body, and staggered to his feet in the rubble. I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a lifetime, maybe a second, and it was as if he had woken up from the distant universe and returned to his body. First the wind in the air, then the sirens of the hospital, the dense footsteps of the police on the ground, the voice of Da Luo over the walkie-talkie under a certain piece of concrete, and - a faint sob: "Don't ...... Don't ......".
The sadness contained in that voice was similar to what I had just felt. "Don't ...... Don't ...... "What a helpless begging, to whom do you ask for it?" Person? Ghost? Firmament? God? And now I know that it is useless, not at all.
Finally found the source of the voice, only to see the woman with a ponytail holding a dying special forces soldier in her arms, and she was in tears at the moment. Half of the special soldier's body was dyed red, and seeing that he was not alive, he tried to take a breath and said with difficulty: "Xiaoyu, you ...... Tell the captain that he gave me a special assignment and I ...... I've tried my best, but it's still ...... You've been hurt - it's my incompetence! β
Ye Xiaoyu shook his head with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't speak.
"As a punishment for the failure of my mission......" The special soldier's eyes began to drift, and his breathing began to be short, "You...... Tell the captain that I agreed...... Promised not to fight with him anymore. β¦β¦ You...... I'll give it to him...... He ...... said, as if he had given up everything, and did not want to take a breath again.
Looking at Ye Xiaoyu, who was crawling on his upper body and sobbing constantly, Li Chengen did not speak, he slowly put down his wife's body, and then leaned over to remove the concrete fragments that were pressing on Ye Xiaoyu's body, pulled out the steel bar that pierced her right leg, and then stopped the bleeding and bandaged it...... During the whole process, Ye Xiaoyu was always prostrate and sobbing, as if sadness had taken away all her feelings.
Lee Seung-eun knows that it takes a while for the feeling of vanishing to come back from the distant horizon, just like what he just experienced: everything was lost, flew away, and then flew back again, but it was not all of the past, less possession, more memory.
He silently did everything that needed to be done, then picked up his wife's body and sat quietly opposite.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a faint sound of shouting from above the ruins.
"Do me a favor!" Ye Xiaoyu suddenly raised his head.
"Anyway, I owe you once." Li Chengen said.
Ye Xiaoyu looked at Li Chengen's lifeless eyes, then looked at the corpse in his arms, and was silent for a few seconds: "There is a ...... over there Thing, you help me kill it. With this ......" she seemed to have a broken hand, and struggled to pull the box out of her side.
Li Chengen took the box: "Has anyone been infected again?" - It's all broken! He opened the box, and inside was a box of broken glass tubes.
Ye Xiaoyu stretched her neck to take a look, and then pulled her head down weakly: "It's over, it seems that there is no hope, I have always failed like this, I was and am ...... now" Her head was buried lower and lower.
"......" Li Chengen did not speak.
"Do you have a phone?" Ye Xiaoyu, who wiped away her tears, raised her head again.
She took Li Chengen's call, returned it weakly, and said: "02932000***".
Li Chengen dialed the number and handed over the phone again.
"Director, it's me, the mission has failed. Well, he took advantage of the corpse in the hospital and is now estimated to have escaped. Well, dead, all, we fell into the trap. Yes, inform them all to evacuate. I don't have a punisher vaccine anymore. In my lab, the password is my code name, with the first and last letter and the 6th letter removed, and then reversed. Well, the sooner the better. He went to H City to arrange. Good! Good! β
Waiting for Ye Xiaoyu to hang up the phone, Li Chengen stared into her eyes and asked, "Does the first 'he' you just said mean someone?" β
ββ¦β¦ Of course not, why do you ask? β
"I met a guy in the basement when I came in."
"You met himβwhat was it like?"
"165 heads, dark skin, small eyes, flat headsβhow's that, tell me the truth."
"......" Ye Xiaoyu stared at him but didn't speak, "Do me a favor, and then as long as we survive, I'll tell you." β
Li Chengen glanced at the corpse in his arms: "Thank you for your kindness, I can help, but ...... You don't have to persuade me. β
Ye Xiaoyu said: "Life always has its value, I have never seen a policeman with such no sense of mission as you." β
"My mission is to make my loved ones happy. I've now lost the chance to finish it. β
"If I told you that your wife's death, this virus, was not accidental, would you only think about dying?"
"What did you say?" Li Chengen didn't know where the strength came from, so he put down the corpse in his arms and stood up suddenly.
At this time, a loudspeaker notice suddenly came from outside the hospital: "All police officers should pay attention, the isolation area of Ximen Hospital has been expanded to two kilometers around the hospital, please assist in the evacuation of citizens ......" Dense sirens sounded, and countless police cars began to evacuate from the hospital. The police car had not gone far when there was a "sizzling" sound from the rubble, as if there were countless poisonous snakes infested.
"It's coming!" Ye Xiaoyu suddenly breathed heavily, "I said, what you have to do now is try your best to survive, and then I will tell you everything." Otherwise, your wife will die without a blink of an eye. β
Li Chengen's eyes were red: "It's really artificial!" β
Ye Xiaoyu nodded.
Suddenly, several bright red tentacles stretched out from the ruins, and those tentacles cleared a passage through the rubble, and then turned into countless red hairs and shrank back.
"It came out and hit him on the eyebrows." Ye Xiaoyu threw out the assault rifle beside him.
Li Chengen picked up the gun in one hand: "What kind of monster is that?" β
Li Chengen was surprised by the things that staggered out of the ruins, there were two halves on the waist, the front half of the body was only half of the head, half of the brain was exposed, and a dark red sarcoma was exposed under the forehead bone that was ruptured at the center of the eyebrows, and countless red silk threads growing out of the sarcoma wrapped the half-exposed brain and the broken internal organs in the chest, and the silk threads grew down to connect the waist and below, and this head also had a characteristic, that is, red eyes and sharp canine teeth; The other half hung behind him like a tail - they shared two legs.
"Old ghost!" Although the half of the body in the back had been unrecognizable in the explosion, with his uniform and number, Li Chengen still recognized his identity.
"That thing lost the lower half of the shen, and it invaded your colleague's body and used his legs to walk." Ye Xiaoyu said, "Find a way to attack the sarcoma in the center of its eyebrows, and those things will be withdrawn to protect themselves, and we will have a chance to strip him from the human body." β
"Raised by a son of a bitch, I want to avenge the old ghost!" Lee Seung-eun screamed and ran forward.
"Be careful! Don't give it a chance to get close to the corpse. Ye Xiaoyu had a look of expectation and worry on his face.
Bang bang bang...... Li Chengen pulled the trigger, and the "monster" was unable to move its lower limbs, and was immediately beaten to the ground, but it always protected its eyebrows well. Lee Seung-eun wandered around the ruins around it, unable to find a chance.
"Boom~" After a grenade, the "monster" still got up.
"If you can't go on like this, is there a better way for you?" He's starting to get a little out of breath.
"No, those "corpse veins" protect it, it can be regenerated at any time, and the resilience is amazing. Unless they are all cut off, they will have to retract themselves. Ye Xiaoyu shouted.
Li Chengen looked at the "corpse veins" that were difficult for bullets to penetrate, and couldn't help but feel depressed, but Li Chengen, who put aside his suicidal thoughts, turned back to the legend of the police back then, he was depressed does not mean discouraged, he just told himself that the time to use his brain has come.
Li Chengen crawled and moved in the small space, constantly shooting, the monster did not have a lumbar spine to support the body, and it seemed very difficult to move, and the upper body often swung left and right, as if drunk. In addition, he had been hit hard before, and now that he saw that there was no chance of winning, he began to want to escape, Li Chengen tried a few times and saw its intentions.
He deliberately moved in one direction, and let the monster keep moving in that direction, and shot it back as soon as it turned a corner, and at the end of the road there was a marble pillar, and the magnificent carved pillar was crumbling diagonally above the ruins.
Bang bang bang...... Li Chengen drove the monster to make the final sprint, seeing the monster stepping into the trap, he flicked his left hand, the weapon switched to the gun grenade, and after a loud "boom", the carved pillar fell from the sky, drowning the monster in its shadow.
Li Chengen flew up, pointed a gun at the monster's half-exposed distorted face, and said, "Goodbye!" Ugly. β
Ye Xiaoyu looked at the battle situation, and a relieved smile appeared on his face that had been tense. But the smile didn't last long, and her face suddenly changed, and she shouted, "Be careful! β
Li Chengen looked back in amazement, only to see a figure rushing towards him.
