Chapter 22: The Roar of the Night
Mu Tong understands that she still overestimates herself too much. Some things are really not as simple as they seem. She thinks that she is hard-hearted enough, even if she sees what happened to Qin Sulan and Li Bing in this team, Mu Tong can go over without blinking. But now that I saw the little girl, she was instantly defeated and unformed.
This world is far more terrifying and cruel than she imagined. In this troubled world where there are no rules to speak of, ethics and morality have long been trampled underfoot, and even in the near future, even basic humanity will be extinguished, how should she face those?
At that time, self-preservation and ruthlessness will become twin brothers and must depend on each other. So in order to survive, will she also become such a cold person?
As Mu Tong and Yao Jinghong returned, the air pressure in the suite was instantly lowered a lot. Of course, Li Bing is not included among these people. As soon as he entered, he automatically found a place he liked, and after eating, he would have gone to sleep long ago.
The most disturbing are Liu Bin and Zhao Meng. After the four of them fought side by side in the previous section of looking for a car, the relationship between the four of them was obviously much deeper than the relationship between the entire team. Seeing Mu Tong and Yao Jinghong coming back, the two put down what they were still eating, and tried to step forward to ask what was going on. But Yao Jinghong stopped the two, "Don't disturb her, let her be alone for a while." ”
Liu Bin and Zhao Meng looked at each other, still a little hesitant, but finally retreated honestly.
This house is only a two-bedroom house, and it is destined to have one boy and one girl. But there is also a Qin Sulan, to be honest, Mu Tong doesn't want to squeeze in the same bed with her at all, especially after seeing the corpse of that little girl. Mu Tong took the initiative to take his things to the sofa in the living room.
"I'm here to keep a vigil for everyone!"
"Cut!" As soon as Mu Tong's words fell, Li Bing made a disdainful voice, his eyes were full of contempt, "We live here, and we don't even have a fly." Vigil, vigil the air? ”
Liu Bin and Zhao Meng both looked angry, but Mu Tong waved his hand, but said seriously: "No matter where you are, a vigil is a must." Anything we are not familiar with does not necessarily harbor any danger of instability. ”
Only Yao Jinghong could understand that Mu Tong was actually referring to the people they saw burying the corpses in the evening. Immediately stepped forward, "I'll keep vigil with you!" ”
Qin Sulan's face instantly became very ugly and embarrassed, looking at Mu Tong and Yao Jinghong's eyes with some resentment, especially looking at Mu Tong.
Mu Tong knew at a glance that she had misunderstood, and she must have thought that the two of them were unwilling to share a room with her because they disliked her. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, at this time, she didn't have anything to explain.
I wanted to persuade Yao Jinghong to go in, she wanted a quiet space. But Yao Jinghong's guy had already run into the house to take out his luggage and throw it on the ground, looking like I was going to rely on it.
"Humph! Then I'll sleep alone, and it's spacious! ”
"What's the matter? If you're lonely at night, I'll be there with you! Li Bingliu spoke angrily.
Qin Sulan's face turned stiff and white, she bit her lip, turned around and ran into the room.
Since the outbreak of the zombie virus, various public facilities and resources have been suspended, and everyone seems to have returned to the era of primitive people.
In the past, Mu Tong could fall asleep quickly every night, but today is an exception. No matter how much she tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep peacefully. Obviously, I was very tired and sleepy, but my brain seemed to have been boosted, and it was very clear.
"Mu Tong, can't you sleep?" Yao Jinghong's voice came from the darkness.
Mu Tong was a little apologetic, "I'm sorry to wake you up." ”
"No, I didn't sleep. I'm not the first to be, I'm tired like a dog every day. ”
"yes, I'm actually in good shape. In the future, there will not be many such safe places, but I am afraid that even a good night's sleep will slowly become a luxury in the future. ”
"That's right~" Yao Jinghong wailed, her voice seemed to have a crying tone, "Even sleeping has become a luxury, is it true that human beings are going to perish?" ”
"Mu Tong, sometimes I think, am I having a nightmare now? The zombies out there were just a nightmare for me. When I wake up, I will find that all the horrible things are gone, I am still in my dormitory, I am in a hurry every day for fear of being late, worrying about how to write the paper assigned by the professor, and I am entangled in the fact that the end of the month has not yet arrived, but my living expenses have been spent~"
"Jing Hong!" Mu Tong interrupted Yao Jinghong's words, "This is not a dream, the zombies outside, this devastated world are all real!" ”
"But why the hell is that?!" Yao Jinghong sat up from the sofa abruptly, her face full of pain, "How the hell did those guys come out?" Could it be that hell has really been conquered, so escape from these horrible things! This qiē is like a nightmare, even when the government regulates it, we are still talking and laughing, feeling that at most it is like a ** time, although it is terrifying, but the virus is far away from us, and we will be safe. But those classmates, all of a sudden, were like crazy, they ate human flesh, and bit their classmates and teachers to death, like beasts~"
"Jinghong, calm down~"
"How do you calm me down?!" Yao Jinghong let out a low roar, covering her eyes and crying silently. After a long time, he took a deep breath and adjusted his feelings, "These days, I don't dare to think about the way out of school. But when I fall asleep, sometimes I still dream of the horror of that day, the desperate faces of those classmates who were caught by zombies, and the heart-rending screams that were torn apart by the flesh and blood~"
"Jinghong~" Mu Tong had already come to Yao Jinghong's side and gently hugged her head, "Didn't you enlighten me before?" Why can't this happen to me? ”
Yao Jinghong couldn't say a word, she could only shake her head. Mu Tong sighed and patted Yao Jinghong on the shoulder. She could understand her feelings, and luckily, she didn't see such a tragic scene with her own eyes. Seeing his classmates and teachers who were once familiar with him suddenly become the man-eating monster who didn't recognize his six relatives, or was eaten by the monster, the despair of the bloody spread of the whole world, the tragedy beyond cognition, the impact was enough to make people collapse. Mu Tong really felt that it was admirable enough to be able to withstand such huge psychological pressure.
"However, we have no way out. If you want to live, you must face this cruel world! ”
"Mu Tong~" Yao Jinghong lay on Mu Tong's shoulder, and finally couldn't help crying.
"But when I talk to you about it, I think I've figured it out a lot. It's a bit of a notoriety to think so much now, so why bother here for a time that hasn't happened yet? As long as I always be firm in my heart and understand what I want and what I insist on, it is enough! I believe that I will be able to make the right choice when the time comes! ”
"Me too!" Yao Jinghong snorted, "I know, I can't be weak and I don't have the right to be weak. In the future, this is a cruel world, as you told us a long time ago, if I can't become stronger, then sooner or later, I will be like those dead classmates. But Mu Tong, can you promise me? If one day I'm hurt by those things, can you help me? I don't want to be one of those disgusting things~"
"Don't talk about discouragement! We're going to live, we're all going to live! ”
"Alright, let's not continue with such a heavy topic. At least we're alive and well now, aren't we? Yao Jinghong smiled, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes, "Hey, tears just work." I just dropped two golden beans, and I'm going to be a little sleepy! ”
"Have a good dream!"
It's just that these two people are destined to not be able to sleep well.
In the middle of the night, Mu Tong vaguely heard the ** sound that seemed to be nothing, it seemed to be comfortable and painful, and the man's panting and scolding~
Isn't it, you can still have spring dreams at such a time? Mu Tong muttered in his heart, and wanted to turn over and fall asleep again. But the voice became clearer and clearer, and even Mu Tong's sleepiness was driven away a lot. Only then did Mu Tong react, where was the dream, but it was actually real, coming from Qin Sulan's room!
Mu Tong has a feeling of wanting to vomit blood, these two bastards, don't they have a sense of crisis at all? At this time, you can still do this kind of thing!
But Yao Jinghong still slept soundly and was not affected at all. Mu Tong sat and stared at the door of the room for a while, and finally gave up knocking on the door. Forget it, it's not a lifelong teammate anyway, and when the time comes, everyone will return to the bridge again.
Lying down with his breath held, before he could close his eyes, he suddenly heard a "roar"!
Zombie! Mu Tong sat up on the ground, turned over and ran to the window.
The windows were wide open so that I could hear the wind and grass outside at night. But when I saw it, it was as empty outside as it was when they came in today, and there was not even a ghost in sight. I was half-asleep and half-awake just now, could it be that I heard it wrong? It's not impossible, these days when you open your eyes, you're a zombie, and the so-called thinking day and night dreaming, it's not impossible to hear in a trance.
Mu Tong looked around from afar and near without giving up, but still didn't find anything, and had to admit that it was an auditory hallucination. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he just turned around and was about to go back to the couch.
"Roar!" The real loud sound was a few decibels amplified in an instant compared to just now!
Mu Tong lay by the window, staring intently at the downstairs search. In the moonlight, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the bushes to the east and ran forward like crazy. Immediately after, swaying figures began to appear in the bushes. Mu Tong suddenly gasped for cold air, and the bushes were full of zombies~
