CHAPTER XXVIII

The next day, it wasn't until about seven o'clock in the morning that the dark sky showed some signs of brightening.

The meager light casts miserly on the world through the haze, but even the cold and twilight color is enough to make the restless crowd in the dark night sigh with gratitude.

The temperature is still more than ten degrees below zero, due to the lack of warmth from the heat source, the heavy snow that fell a day ago is still thick on the ground until now, and there is no trace of melting for half a minute, but condenses into large ice crystals in the increasingly cold weather, mixed with smelly blood and minced meat, turning into strange shapes.

The cold wind blew the flags at the head of the base city to hunt, and groups of soldiers replaced the soldiers who kept vigil, stationed on the high city walls, overlooking the bloody apocalyptic scene below.

Although after a day and night of hard work, even the people in the base were mobilized to participate in the rest, but the corpse mountain and corpse sea on the battlefield were still not destroyed.

In the bloody realm within a radius of 100 miles, rotting corpses were piled up into mountains, black blood and flesh converged into a pool of ice, and severed limbs and legs were blown up everywhere.

Blood-stained walls, desolate and barren frontiers, scorched black and blurred land, twisted and hideous zombies......

The people who participated in the work for the first time almost vomited, but it was the stimulation of this direct scene that made most of the people with comfortable thoughts sober up like a slap in the face, and vaguely seemed to understand something.

It is said that the base is preparing to introduce the latest rectification policy; It is said that some of the redundant features of the high-tech fire line will be improved; It is said that the army is about to be reorganized and join a special unit of "Strangers"; It is said that survivors who do not work will no longer enjoy some of the amenities provided by the base......

The "supposedly" of a qiē roared through the streets and alleys of the base in one day, and while causing panic, the military headquarters took the lead in dispatching armed forces to suppress the restless crowd, and civilian officials immediately took the stage to explain the reasons for the change in order to calm the anxious people.

The atmosphere in the base is very depressing, and when I realize that the current disaster is no longer as simple as I imagined. Many people who are still holding the mentality of returning to their usual life are really panicking.

The remarks of "the last days" circulated in private, but in a short period of time, the influence was so great that it was difficult to control, and countless elderly people gathered in an open place, invariably holding Buddhist beads and scriptures. They worship the Bodhisattva statues that come out of each family with devotion to pray for the peace of their old age and the peace of their descendants.

Negative emotions soon defeated most of the people who were used to being comfortable, and the small stalls that were usually open to the public closed early, and they no longer shared the food in the store.

The quality of food supply in the base canteen has declined rapidly, from the original rice directly to gruel and white flour steamed buns, and even the dishes provided have been unified into mustard and pickles.

The banknotes depreciated into waste paper overnight, and each family crowded in front of the trading hall of the base with the bank cards before the end of the world, asking the staff inside the iron gate to give an explanation, but they were defeated in the wry smile of the staff.

The chaos continues, and the top management is in a state of flux. The research department is very busy, the military department has broken its leg to maintain law and order, and there is a shortage of medicines in the infirmary......

The undercurrent is surging, but it is also patching the loopholes bit by bit according to the information in a small USB flash drive, and it seems that the riot is imminent. But it's also under control.

Xiao Chen climbed to the top of the blood-stained city with a messy yellow hair, the carrion with the smell of virus stimulated his instincts, and the desire for evolution made his mouth secrete more saliva, but at this time, the reason in his mind still prevailed.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but his appetite for raw meat was far greater than that of cooked food that he had eaten for more than ten years.

Thinking that he had pushed away his mother's chicken soup because he was hungry and attacked a plate of raw meat; The researcher who had been following and observing him fainted with fright; Thinking of the high-level leaders of the research department and even the military department, looking at their own defensive faces; Thinking of fear and rejection in the eyes of others......

He really had a ...... The violent urge to tear them apart and fall to the ground and smash into flesh.

The only thing to be thankful for is that their parents and peers don't look at themselves with tinted glasses for this reason.

They, as always, tolerate his willfulness and shortcomings. There is not the slightest discomfort, as if he has just changed his taste, and he is still the same Xiao Chen as he used to be.

"Huh......" Xiao Chen was wearing a thin hospital gown, he didn't feel cold in the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, but felt very cool, he turned his head to look at the brother and another little brother behind him. Impatient eyes swept over the cowering researcher and said, "Han Xiuyu? Right?"

Han Xiuyu followed behind in a thick down jacket, and gave a gentle smile back to the soldiers who nodded to him, and then turned his head to look at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him. He replied, "Yes. The first time I saw you, you were unconscious."

Xiao Chen's memory of being short for nearly a week can't be made up, after hearing this, he frowned, he lay on the low pier at the head of the city and looked down at the territory below, a vast and vicissitudes of life suddenly broke into his heart.

It's so weird, like the desolation I saw in my dream, and ...... The will of blood.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Chen turned his confused eyes to look at his brother who had just woken up not long ago, looking at his bandaged appearance, and his voice was very stern, "Tian Hongyi, why did you sue Master Sù who made you look like this?" Let's see if you don't beat them to death."

He raised his fist angrily, very concerned about the injury on his brother's face.

"Shaw.[,!] Brother, Lao Tian, I'm fine, it's just that I was scratched a few times by the glass, how can you insist that this is artificial?" Tian Hongyi shuddered a few times and then sniffed, ignoring Xiao Chen, who couldn't make sense for the time being, turned his head to Han Xiuyu and asked, "What about Yun Mo and them?" I heard that there was a big battle at night, and with Yun Mo's temperament, he probably wouldn't let it go, right?"

Han Xiuyu rubbed the corners of his dizzy forehead and remembered the last fragment: "She did participate in the war, and now she is probably going to the front line with a group of expatriate soldiers. Don't worry, with her methods, even dozens of creepers can still be beaten down."

The power of the rampaging leopard is not something that anyone can resist......

"That's right......" Thinking of the alien who was extremely fierce, Tian Hongyi also calmed down, but his tone unconsciously revealed a touch of guilt, "Brother Xiao and I were both rescued by her, and later brought my parents and brother, this favor is estimated to be unpaid in this life."

Han Xiuyu smiled, thinking of himself, Wei Jun and Du Mukai were not like this, and even He Zijin, Zhao Yi and Ying Tianyang, who were now unconscious, estimated that they were in the same situation.

So, he said briskly: "It is estimated that if we want to repay the favor, we will be disgusted by her, we are so weak, don't trouble her, even if we repay the debt."

Tian Hongyi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, his face immediately collapsed a little, thinking of the news he got when he woke up in the middle of the night last night, and now he almost had an expression of about to cry: "But, I have something to trouble her now...... Before I woke up, my brother was infected and fainted! The injury was on the forehead, mixed with the black blood of the zombies that had not been cleaned, and he was sent to the isolation room last night, I ......"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Han Xiuyu sighed, "Wei Jun is immortal, he has awakened his ability, Xiao Chen has been in a coma for so long, and now he is still alive. We all infiltrated the base under Yun Mo's nose, if there was really a case, I was afraid that the uneasy factor would have been solved by Yun Mo a long time ago, where would you let your brother be infected like this."

Indeed, they are all people who have passed through Yun Mo's hands, how can that strong alien allow himself to make low-level mistakes......

In this way, Tian Hongyi, who was a lot more relieved, smiled bitterly: "Alas, I hope it is a good result, otherwise I will not be happy for the rest of my life."

Han Xiuyu raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder as if comforting, and the two talked happily, but they directly forgot about the uncle on the side. After coming back to his senses, he found that Xiao Chen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Xiao Chen glared at the two of them with his golden chicken nest head, and then said to Han Xiuyu without a smile: "Lao Tzu beat up a researcher and took you away, and then you kidnapped Brother Lao Tzu with a wolf heart. I really should have left you there to draw a few more tubes of blood, so as not to be an eyesore."

Han Xiuyu twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of the other party's ability of being steel and iron without being afraid of needle, he suddenly gloated: "Xiao Chen, you have a good body of flesh and skin, and when Yun Mo comes back, he will definitely throw you to the front line. Give us a good fight, but don't get scratched by the creepers."

"Cut!" Xiao Chen is tired of the words "Yun Mo" in other people's mouths, just like the "other people's children" that his parents always mention in his ears, which annoys the scumbags for no reason.

But obviously, the gap between the top students and the scumbags, the sense of grievance between the life-saving benefactor and the rescued, the new hatred and the old hatred, Xiao Chen can be said to be gritting his teeth at Yun Mo and at the same time wanting to compare.

This is a strange fighting situation, which was not a thing at all before, but now, in Xiao Chen's subconscious, Yun Mo is a strong opponent of the "same level" as him, and it seems that if he bumps into it, he must distinguish between high and low, otherwise, it will ......

Otherwise, what......

Xiao Chen stared at his hands blankly, always feeling that he had grasped something but forgot something, he let go of his palm and hung it at his side, and said to the two people beside him: "Tell me what happened a few days ago. Why did Lao Tzu wake up from a sleep and even the house changed?"

The three of them sat down in a corner of the city, and in a long story and a short story brilliantly summarized what had happened in a few days, but the danger could not be described in a few words, and if so, more than half an hour had passed.
