Chapter 22: The National Anthem
Xiang Ningxuan hurriedly tore off his helmet and threw it away, but a few drops of corrosive liquid still dripped from the corner of his forehead, "Zi", "-1". It hurt so much that his tears almost fell.
Looking at the helmet that had melted a little bit with palpitations, Xiang Ningxuan secretly warned himself not to take it lightly. If this hits the head directly, he may be killed in an instant even if he is full of blood.
Just now, he hid behind the wall and watched his entourage fight the zombies. He thought he was safe, so he was a little careless, and he didn't even notice that the wall was corroded into a big hole.
Then there were no more twists and turns, and after eliminating the ordinary zombies in close combat, Xiang Ningxuan commanded his entourage to take down 4 poison-spraying zombies with a single charge.
If you are an ordinary combat professional, it is not easy to deal with these poison-spraying zombies. Their attack power is very high, and they can kill one person in a single round of fire. Who dares to charge first among combat professionals?
But Xiang Ningxuan's entourage is not afraid of death, and if he dies, he will return to the card library, and he can be summoned next time. didn't say anything, just went over, and then hacked a few poison-spraying zombies to death.
The battle is over!
The second-order poison-spraying zombie dropped a poison seed, which can be attached to the weapon, causing the weapon to inflict poison damage, or it can be used as a venom bomb.
Chu Jiangyue can't use this thing, and Zhu Qiyue's fire axe is already damaged, so it's not worthy of use at all. It naturally belonged to Xiang Ningxuan, who had never taken anything.
However, Xiang Ningxuan and the others still had no way to rest. The second explosion was even more intense, and it also attracted a lot of zombies farther away.
These zombies are scattered and not much of a threat, but they are still quite time-consuming and laborious to clean up.
————
At this time, far outside the Xiangguang community in the main city, a big war was nearing its end.
Rong Zheng stood next to an SUV, concentrating on collecting energy. A stream of energy that no one else could see converged from the dead zombie corpse into his hands.
The roof of the car carries a large horn, which is powered by the car's engine. A girl in her twenties in the car was using a loudspeaker to announce: "Fellow citizens who have not yet been rescued! The fighters had fought fiercely all day and had to rest. Please take courage and be patient, we will continue to hunt out zombies tomorrow. Please rest assured that the country is still there, the municipal party committee is still there, and we will not leave the people behind. Please protect yourself and wait for rescue. Below, let the national anthem inspire us forward! ”
A majestic march came out of the loudspeakers, making the blood boil for everyone who heard it.
The combat professionals hummed to the familiar rhythm with solemn faces. They were all civilians yesterday, and many of them hadn't even killed chickens. But today, I experienced grief and fear, and fought fiercely with the hideous and terrifying zombies for most of the day, and I was already physically and mentally exhausted.
However, in the sound of the national anthem, they felt that they coincided with the image of braving the artillery fire to advance bravely, and suddenly their hearts were filled with infinite honor. The ancestors seem to be giving them strength across time and space, and fatigue and pain are no longer so unbearable.
Today's situation has also reached the most dangerous time. But it is precisely at such a time that countless people will always stand up and build a new Great Wall with their flesh and blood, regardless of difficulties and dangers, facing a strong enemy.
"Wow, I'm returning to the blue!" One exclaimed, "666! For the first time, I found out that the national anthem can still be blue! ”
It didn't matter what he shouted, many people were also surprised to find that whether it was mana or anger, as long as it was the energy needed to release the skill, it was actually slowly recovering.
However, they were distracted, and the recovery effect was suddenly greatly reduced. And it is not so easy to enter that solemn atmosphere. Those who were interrupted glared at the exclaimant.
People followed the music from the loudspeakers, humming at first, then slowly singing, and finally into a uniform chorus.
"Forward, forward, forward, forward!"
At the end of the last syllable, Xu Lin cut off the head of a second-order zombie with a sword. At this point, all the zombies were slaughtered, and the battle was over.
"Bang Bang", the upgraded golden light rose again and again. At least more than ten people were upgraded at the same time, including Xu Lin, Zhuang Mingjian, etc., who had been stuck at level 5 for a long time.
"Oh~" The people present raised their arms and cheered, and their ambitions filled the sky.
"Do it again! Do it again! Someone shouted excitedly banging on the window of the SUV.
Rong Zheng nodded to the girl in the car, and the national anthem sounded again.
"Get up! ……”
From the first sentence, it was a chorus of more than 200 people, and the loud singing voice spread far and wide. After singing it again and again, even the people in the Xiangguang community in the rear also sang along.
For the first time, many people find the national anthem so beautiful and so uplifting that any pop song is weaker than it.
And the people who were still hiding in the distance burst into tears when they heard this familiar song. They resisted the urge to sing along, envious of those who could sing loudly with confidence.
Singing dispelled darkness, hunger, fear and pain in the heart. In the midst of this singing, many people look forward to the moment when they can sing loudly, and fall asleep with peace of mind.
After singing it three times, Rong Zheng motioned to change to light music. There are still many things to do after the war, cleaning up the battlefield, collecting supplies, registering people, and so on.
Everyone is in a good mood, and there is Rong Zheng's acceleration aura, so things are still done relatively quickly. It's just that because everyone has known each other for less than a day, they are not familiar with each other, and there are only a few car lights nearby, and the night is dark, so the whole scene is a little chaotic.
No one noticed that a slender figure wearing a hood was passing through the crowd. The hood was drawn so low that only her scarlet lips and thin, pale chin could be seen.
She raised her head slightly, and quickly scurried around with a pair of red-glowing eyes, as if looking for something. It wasn't until she saw Rong Zheng commanding everyone next to the SUV that she lifted her spirits, then lowered her head again, went around half a circle casually, and walked behind Rong Zheng from the side and back.
A man passed by the woman with a cart full of bottles of water, but he hurried in and out as if he hadn't seen anything.
Closer, closer. The woman squinted slightly, the corners of her mouth hooked an arc, and her bright red tongue licked her lips excitedly. Her hands were slightly clenched, and her sharp nails, which were nearly three centimeters long, almost touched the palms of her hands, and her steps involuntarily sped up a few points.
"Jingle bells." The crisp ringtone still reached Rong Zheng's ears very clearly in the chaos. He followed the sound and saw a strangely dressed woman not far behind him. Her whole body was covered in a wide robe, and only her lips and chin could be seen.
Rong Zheng instinctively felt a tingling in his scalp for such a strange outfit, but he was still calm and calm, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you!" ”
