CHAPTER XXXI
It was a large two-bedroom room, much larger than the ones they had seen in front of this hallway. The door to the living room was wide open, but the windows and the doors to the two rooms were closed.
The lights in the living room were dim, the floor was bloodstained, and on the white carpet rendered bright red sat a woman in tattered clothes and covered in wolves, holding a little girl in her hands.
The back of the little girl's head was facing them, and the whole person was nestled in the woman's dirty arms, motionless, and the clothes on her body could no longer be seen in their original color.
Gao Ye and the two glanced at each other, just standing at the door, and had no intention of taking a step forward.
Although the fluctuation was very small, Gao Ye noticed that this intermittent and very weak energy.
Secretly squeezed Chongqiao's palm, and he said softly, "There are strangers here. β
When Chong Qiao heard this, he smiled at Gao Ye, then turned his head to stare at the mother and daughter with a thoughtful expression.
"Please, save my child." A low and weak female voice came out of her chest, and a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes seemed to have seen the benefactor of the people, staring straight at the two people in front of her without concealment.
"What's wrong with her?" Gao Ye asked softly.
"Yinyin, her wound is infected and she has a fever." The woman cried lowly, "But there are zombies outside, and my leg is useless, I can't even stand up, and I can't go out to find a doctor." β
"If she continues like this, she'll die." The woman buried her head in the child's shoulder, shrugged her shoulder, "So, please, save her, take her to the doctor." β
"What a coincidence, we just happen to have a doctor right next to us." Chongqiao smiled.
"Really?" The woman looked up suddenly, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, and looked at them hopefully, "Then can I ask your doctor to help me see Yinyin." β
"It's simple, though." Gao Ye still didn't step forward, but stood at the door and asked, "What happened when I came here just now?" β
The woman's body stiffened, she tightened her hand holding the child, biting her lower lip, as if she had thought of some terrifying picture, she looked frightened but with a hint of hatred, "It's Chen Ziyan!" β
"Huh?" Gao Ye frowned, "Chen Ziyan? β
"He betrayed us!" The woman shouted, "If it weren't for him! The people in this building won't die tragically under the zombies! β
"How?" Chong Qiao kept looking at the tightly closed door facing the mother and daughter.
"The people in our building are very united." The woman lowered her head, the expression on her face was a little blurred, "Since the end of the world, we have been collecting supplies and medicines. Over time, the food has increased unconsciously, but even so, we still haven't wasted too much, and we have been as frugal as ever. These days, all the food and medicine we have collected are placed in Chen Ziyan's space. β
"He has space?"
The woman's eyes darkened, "Yes, that's right, he is a spatial powerhouse, and all the materials we have collected will be handed over to him for safekeeping after they are divided." β
"Only he knows the real amount of materials in the space." The woman's voice was hoarse, and her lips were dry, "It's because he knows too well that he will take such a ruthless move to lure the zombies into this building." β
"And then?" Yu Guang didn't move away from the door for a minute, and Chongqiao continued to ask.
"That's what you're seeing now, two benefactors, let's talk about it later?" The woman begged, "Yin Yin, she can't hold it anymore, I beg you"
"Mom, I don't hurt," the cute and weak child's voice came out of the woman's arms.
"It's quicker to take her down." Gao Ye paused, stepped forward and walked in front of the two of them, and squatted down.
Chong Qiao stood sideways behind Gao Ye, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, but the afterglow was still staring at the door.
Suddenly, just as Gao Ye's hand was about to touch the child, a change occurred.
The door that had been closed suddenly opened, and a female zombie jumped out of the dark room and pounced straight at Chongqiao.
Gao Ye sensed that something was wrong, and just got up and pulled Chongqiao away, dodging the zombie's attack, and a voice came from behind him.
"Brothers, don't move."
The little girl jumped out of the woman's arms, and she looked at them with a grin, her mouth open and closed, as if she were commanding something, and her words were very clear.
"Don't move? Waiting for her to bite us? Chongqiao glanced back at the little girl with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
With a wave of Gao Ye's hand, the black poison system formed a spider web-like enveloping membrane, directly enveloping the female zombie and tying its body to death.
The female zombie fell to the ground, struggling constantly, her mouth wide open and screaming, her dirty saliva flowing, her long hair was wet and sticky to her body, and she looked particularly wolfish.
And Gao Ye's action of rescuing Chongqiao and subduing the female zombie was extremely fast, and it didn't take a few minutes at all.
Seeing this, the woman was taken aback, she hurriedly got up, pulled the child and rushed to the side of the zombie, that crazy appearance, as if the zombie lying on the ground and constantly rolling was not someone else but her relatives.
Gao Ye and the others didn't stop their movements, but wanted to see what they wanted to do.
As soon as the woman arrived at the zombie's side, she went into battle directly with her bare hands, trying to directly break Gao Ye's poisonous net, however, no matter how she tore it, the damn black β‘β‘ body was constant.
The little girl looked back at them, she pursed her lips, her big eyes were shining with tears, and she looked extremely pitiful, "Big brother, big brother, can you let my sister go." β
"Sister?" Gao Ye glanced at the woman whose body suddenly stiffened, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Your good sister just wanted to kill us." β
"It's all a misunderstanding!" The woman turned around excitedly.
"Misunderstanding?" Gao Ye looked at the woman with a look that you are teaseing me.
Chongqiao directly interrupted the woman who was still about to say something, "Okay, now, you can be quiet and talk about what is going on." β
The woman paused, as if to calm down, and after a long moment she spoke again, "Why don't you believe what you just did?"
"Because the story you made up is really not good." Chongqiao pouted and waved his hand.
"If you don't give a satisfactory explanation, I won't let go of your good daughter." After speaking, Gao Ye wrapped the poison net a little tighter with an expressionless face.
"Roarβ"
With a low roar of pain reached the woman's ears, her body stiffened, as if she couldn't stand it, and hurriedly said, "Stop, I say, I say!" β
Seeing this, Gao Ye loosened the poison net to the strength that was originally tied.
"What just happened is indeed false." The woman said, "There is indeed Chen Ziyan in this building, but it is not him who has the spatial ability, but my husband." β
"Oh?" Chongqiao provoked an interesting smile.
"My husband is a good cop." The woman seemed to recall something beautiful, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and a faint but happy smile appeared on the originally expressionless face.
"Even in the last days, he is still very conscientious about his work, and the people of this building can live unharmed for so long, all thanks to him leading the young people to protect us."
"The food is gone, and he is also the first to walk in the front, opening the way to find food."
"Somebody got sick, he went to the doctor. If someone is bitten by a zombie, if he can save it, he will save it, and if he can't save it, he will do it himself. The woman smiled and smiled, and her face began to stiffen again, "He is really stupid, he would rather be regarded as a ruthless person by them and hated by them, than force them to kill their relatives with their own hands." β
The woman's tone was full of resentment and pride, "Later, under tremendous pressure and doubts, he told them that he was a spatial powerhouse. He was really too honest, just thinking that he had obtained the ability and could finally help everyone more, and he was so happy that he laughed like that. β
He rushed downstairs and told them about it, trying to persuade them to put food in his space without worrying about being snatched away.
The hoarse voice stopped for two seconds and then sounded again.
"But why didn't we think that their group of people, while guarding against others, was also guarding against us? It's a pity that none of us thought of it at the time, didn't expect it. β
The woman covered her eyes and stopped again.
It was as if a long time had passed, and time had stopped at this moment, and the women were motionless, and the children were motionless, and they were motionless.
Finally, the woman spoke, and her face, which was already a little numb, stiffened to the point that she couldn't do it.
"But he died so well!"
"Those who are mad will do anything to survive." The woman's voice began to choke with a hint of irrepressible choking, and her expression was in a trance, as if she remembered the tragic scene at that time.
The sound of the claws tearing flesh apart, the muffled grunt of pain, the footsteps of the people around them hurrying away, and the sound of pain, weakness and determination in the midst of it.
- Live well, take them with you.
The woman closed her eyes, her brows wrinkled many, as if she was struggling to endure something, she sniffed and continued.
"And I can only be useless, watching him be torn into pieces of flesh in order to protect our mother and daughter, not only that, but my eldest daughter Yuanyuan was almost murdered."
The woman grinned, "But fortunately, God has long eyes, Yuanyuan didn't have an accident, although she was scratched by zombies, she didn't die, but became a zombie." β
"So in order to avenge your husband, you let Yuanyuan eat the people of this building?"
"Is there something wrong?" The woman chuckled, "They killed my husband, and I just begged for their lives to return them to my husband." β
"One life for dozens of lives, but it's earned." Chongqiao smiled.
"You don't understand," the woman's voice was a little ethereal, "if they hadn't done too much, I wouldn't have done this, we just want to live." β
"Dad was very kind to them, and when he went out to look for food, he always opened the way at the front, but the uncles and aunts were not satisfied at all."
The little girl was holding the tattered doll, staring straight at Gao Ye and the two with a pair of big eyes, her eyes were simple, but the words that came out of that cute mouth were so natural, "Mom said that those who do something wrong should be punished." I'm gone, and they're dead, and that's fair. β
Gao Ye was a little silent, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't know who to judge.
The atmosphere in the room was solemn and with a trace of sadness that could not be ignored, the evil humanity that was usually hidden in life seemed to be magnified by the naked in this last world a hundredfold, a thousand, or even an incalculable multiple, and the ugly appearance of the teeth and dancing mouth was even more disgusting than the zombie who knew how to follow his nature.
"Then why lure passers-by up here?" Half-loud, Chong Qiao asked softly.
"Why?" The woman turned her head to look at her bound child, her eyes full of indescribable love.
"Because Yuanyuan is a kind girl, in order not to be assimilated like other zombies, she would rather be hungry herself, and would rather her body start to rot than do it."
"So, you're going to do it for her?"
"That's right, I'll do what she doesn't want to do." There were tears in the corners of the woman's eyes, "He handed over the children to me, so even if I want to be a cow, a horse, a murderer, and a fire, I will let them do my best to let them live well in this cruel last days." β
"So"
"Please. Don't kill her, kill me if you want. This qiΔ was all made by me, all the human lives, all the plans, I planned it single-handedly, Yuan Yuan and Yin Yin are innocent, they are still children. β
"Why did you let her go?" Chongqiao tilted his head, his face was full of puzzlement, "You were the first to do it, and you were the first to beg for mercy, if we didn't happen to be able to fight Yuanyuan, then it would be us who are lying here now." β
"So, you're not going to release them?" The woman's expression suddenly began to turn cold, and her body that was paralyzed on the ground tensed slightly.
"Nope." Chongqiao hooked his lips and smiled, "It's okay to let people go." β
"Condition."
"I'm going to take Yin Yin." Chong Qiao narrowed his eyes, very direct.
