Old Residential Complex, Unit 17, 5 Floors.

The flames in the copper basin sprang up, quickly devouring the rotten skull in the basin, and the tongue of fire that spread along the dripping oil stains ignited first its gray hair, then licked its flabby skin, swept its festering flesh, and finally seeped into its bones......

Inch by inch, the scorching heat crushed it to ashes, burning away its filthy and horrible features, destroying its bloody eyes full of murderous lust and greed, leaving only a return to the original soil.

The orange-yellow fire shone on the girl's pale face, and it was as clear as her complicated eyes.

She moved her eyelashes slightly, her lips squirmed and she didn't know what to say, and her eyes fixed intently on the head in the basin, as if looking at what she cherished most.

It wasn't until the fire gradually subsided, leaving only a handful of charred charcoal and soil, that a string of tears finally slid uncontrollably down her eyes with heavy dark circles.

She stretched out her thin fingers and gently stroked the barely visible head, then took the tool on the side, hesitated for a long time before smashing the charcoal into ashes, and then grabbed a handful and put it into her personal talisman.

After carefully putting on the amulet, she propped up her still weak body, carrying the backpack and a full duffel bag on the side, and said calmly to the figure standing by the window: "Yun Mo, I'...... You ready. Let's go."

Hearing the call, Yun Mo's back stiffened slightly, and he quickly put away his flying thoughts, and then closed the metal pocket watch in the palm of his hand and put it into his close-fitting shirt, then he turned around and looked directly into He Zijin's eyes, and said, "In the future, it will be very hard. You have to learn to kill zombies, I can't be by your side all the time."

He Zijin nodded slowly, but his tone was very firm: "I will!" Like you said, you can kill zombies as long as you want. Instead of living a despondent life chased by zombies."

"I have this realization...... Yun Mo." He Zijin's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked, "I don't want to drag you down, I don't want to do it at all. So, I'll do my best to chase you! "

I'll do my best to chase you!

Chasing you......

Yun Mo's pupils shrank suddenly, and the slender figure of the girl in front of her seemed to overlap with a woman in her memory, once upon a time, there was also a woman who wanted to prove her self-worth to the world stood in front of her, stubbornly setting a goal: "I, I will do my best to chase you!"

Chasing you. Even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, and a land of ruins; Even if the zombies have come to the city, the insect tide has invaded; Even if you disdain me for being humble and weak at the moment. I'm going to prove to you that I can!

Can keep up with you! I can also create my own footsteps!

Light and shadow coincide. It was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so that she lost all her words in an instant, and she only felt that He Zijin in front of her was very similar to the woman at the beginning, but it was also different......

Because. That woman will not choose to cry. Just like her.

"Good. Let's go." Yun Mo pretended to say indifferently, but there was still an obvious layer of warmth in his tone, "Are you sure that's all you bring?"

She pointed to He Zijin's package, and was secretly surprised by the amount of her luggage, which was really unexpectedly rare.

Today's children have big bags and small bags when they go out, is her backpack and a duffel bag really enough?

"Hmm. That's all." He Zijin tugged at the corners of his mouth, but found that he really couldn't laugh, so he had to restrain the far-fetched smile on his lips, lowered his head slightly in disappointment, and whispered. Anyway, that's all I can take away."

There are some things, no matter how much you care, you can't take them with you.

Even if you force it, you can't ......

Her eyes looked nostalgically at the house where she had lived for ten years, and a sigh overflowed on her lips: "Yun Mo, we ...... Let's go......"

Let's go, really get out of here, maybe we won't have a chance to come back again.

Yun Mo nodded, and walked to the door in a blink of an eye, as if she had thought of something, she turned back to He Zijin who was following closely and said, "Take that scimitar and follow me. He Zijin, you have to remember that unless the weapon is scrapped and cannot be used, or you have lost your combat effectiveness with a dying breath, otherwise, no matter when and where, you must not let go of the weapon in your hand! "

Because, the weapon is currently the only chip you can use to turn the tables on the weak.

Once lost, the consequences are unimaginable......

"Even if you give up your bags, your dry food, and your water, you must not let go of your weapons. As long as you have it at your disposal, you can use it to plunder resources, whether it's food, water, living space, or power and status." Yun Mo exuded a cold killing aura all over his body, and his eyes looked at He Zijin sharply, as if he was examining one of the recruits under his command.

"The world has changed, put away your weakness and compassion, they will hurt you before you live up to the standards I want! Compassion is such a thing, the strong give to the weak, that is a favor, the weak will be grateful; But if you are still weak and give this compassion to others who are also weak, that group of weak people will become gluttonous and continue to plunder from you, but they will not be grateful to you at all."

"The reason why the weak are grateful to the strong is not only because of their favor, but also because they are strong!"

She lectured to He Zijin in a stern tone, as if to put an end to what would happen to her in the future.

He Zijin has been excluded and lost by others for too many days, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take advantage of her psychology in the future. [,！ ] of weakness to approach her and then hurt her. That kind of situation she didn't want to see.

What she has to do is to give this child who has been receiving moral and ethical ideas for several years a preventive shot in advance, so that she can be more mindful, and no one will approach them with a kind face and treat them wholeheartedly, otherwise, ......

Thinking of some unbearable past, Yun Mo's eyes flashed with extreme disgust.

No one is more familiar with the sinister and dirty of the human heart than she is, because, every word she says is the experience of her previous life. It is precisely because of those heart-wrenching betrayals and the intrigues and tricks of countless secret confrontations that she has experienced today.

Both horizontal and vertical are people who have died once, no matter how dull they are, it's time to think clearly.

With her backhand, she pulled out the Tang knife behind her back, opened the door generously, and walked downstairs unhurriedly. He Zijin quickly closed the door, and finally glanced back at this home, biting his teeth, and then resolutely turned around and ran to Yun Mo's side.

"Backwards." Yun Mo's faint voice resounded in the corridor, "The arc of the Tang knife is relatively large, I can't let go of your hands and feet if you get too close."

He Zijin obediently slowed down his pace, and gradually distanced himself from Yun Mo by two or three meters.

"Zijin, if you encounter a zombie later, I hope you have the strength to fight."

Her words reached her ears, and He Zijin paused, and then clenched the scimitar in his hand.

Just like last night's madness, he pounced on them and killed them regardless of his recklessness, even if he would face death in the next moment, he would bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh.

Let the beastly killing consciousness cover your brain, master your body, drive your limbs to fight the enemy, and then slowly get used to it, and try to dominate it until you really master it!

Only those who have achieved that point can be considered a qualified battlefield warrior.

I really don't know if the girl in front of me has the qualifications to become a fighter......

Yun Mo turned his face slightly sideways and glanced at He Zijin, and suddenly felt that her thin arms and legs seemed to be very unreliable. Suppressing the prejudice in her heart, she quickened the pace of her feet.

"Roar—"

Suddenly, a zombie with teeth and claws rushed up from downstairs, shook off a few pieces of minced meat on his face, and bit Yun Mo's neck with a mouthful of pitch-black sharp teeth.

"Uhhh

A cold light flashed in the air with the sound of the wind, piercing the zombie's throat from top to bottom, crushing its hoarse and ugly roar, Yun Mo took the handle of the knife and sent, turned, picked, and cut off its neck like tofu, and then the blade of the knife swept horizontally, directly slapping its head with a little flesh and skin on its neck to the ground.

Kicking away the zombie's body, which was still sprinting upward, Yun Mo walked to the ground floor angrily, and without looking at the outside world, he opened the half-hidden iron door.

"Whoa, whoa—"

The zombies outside the door roared and rushed towards the two food inside, their blood-colored eyes looked even more hideous under the gray sky, and the whole eyeball wrapped in blood suddenly protruded from the gradually decaying eye sockets, and locked tightly on Yun Mo and He Zijin's bodies.

"There are eight of them, and the female zombie at the back will be handed over to you."

Yun Mo quickly assigned the task, glanced at He Zijin, whose face was pale, and stepped forward to kill.

Quickly stabbed into the cranial cavity of the zombie running at the front, accompanied by splashing brains and black blood, it continued to push forward with undiminished force, rapidly penetrating the first zombie's skull, and then piercing the throat of the second zombie.

Due to his lack of height, Yun Mo, who is only 1.6 meters tall, can only rely on the strength of his legs many times.

Holding the handle of the Tang knife that had completed the double kill, she quickly twisted her body with this fulcrum, and her whole body jumped into the air, and a pair of long legs swept towards the temples of the zombie on the left, and in this way, she avoided the invasion of the zombie on the right.

Kicking the head of a zombie, she broke the hilt of the knife fixed to the two zombies the moment she landed, and vigorously pulled the knife out of the zombies, sweeping forward in a blur of blood.
