Unconsciously, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two is like stepping into a rather bizarre quagmire.

The topic of "life and death", like "good and evil" and "fate", is a philosophical proposition that has been debated since ancient times, but there is no conclusive conclusion after arguing. Philosophers who have made achievements in the field cannot give a fair and objective conclusion that everyone can accept, and even if they reluctantly say something that seems reasonable, it is only a subjective opinion. Even if Xu Fu and the survivors are in a place that is extremely close to death, it is nothing more than a reason to think about death than to be able to understand death better.

If it were someone else here, he might have complained in his heart about why Xu Fu threw out such an embarrassing topic. But Hu Ma is too honest people, he is easily led by the nose, and he is also unaware of such a thing as "the dominance of dialogue". Since Xu Fu is talking about death, then he will go along with it.

And just as he thought of the withered believer, Xu Fu suddenly said, "Don't you think this is very similar to what the withered believer said?" ”

"This ......," Hu Ma said, "maybe I'm too sensitive to the withered believers......

"You don't have to be so nervous." Xu Fu shook his head and said, "Death may be necessary, but it is never good. ”

This was the end of the conversation, after which the two went back to their own business.

Xu Fu seems to be following the Faceling's request, investigating possible clues related to the "dream detachment" in the Vault, and often chatting with the survivors, who are all aware of his problems. Occasionally, he would suddenly disappear for a short while, not knowing where he had gone, but he would soon be back. Hu Ma was quite concerned about his solitary actions, worried about whether he would be in danger where he could not see.

It is worth mentioning that this shelter is far safer than the outside world. It's likely that the Vault occupies a special place in the nightmare of the town. Even the elusive undead and the living dead rarely invade on their own initiative.

But the Vault still bears a huge hidden danger - that is, the survivors who witnessed the "Mirror Man in the form of the living dead" some time ago. According to the nature of the man in the mirror, he will inevitably become the living dead within a week. It is also alleged that the person he witnessed in the mirror had bites from the living dead. Therefore, the reason why he became the living dead in the future must not have changed on his own due to bad luck, but by other living dead. Because the soothsayers and survivors were determined to protect him, the vault was bound to be invaded by the living dead within a week.

Fortunately, although the survivors regard death as home, they do not really mean to sit still. They organized themselves to place monitors on the outside of the shelter and fortifications on the inside.

However, as time went on, surprises arose.

That was about ten hours before the "now". The survivors noticed that the monitors set up in the outside world suddenly broke down a lot, so they went to the outside world to repair them, only to find that the monitors were completely destroyed. Not only that, but even the fortifications set up inside the shelter have problems of one kind or another, which are like traces of vandalism.

When Hu Ma learned about this, he hurriedly ran to inform Xu Fu, who was teaching and telling stories to the children in the makeshift classroom.

"I see, it's all secretly sabotage......" After listening, Xu Fu nodded, "It seems that someone is doing something that shouldn't be done." He seemed to mean something.

"The Turin doctor is still asleep. If the living dead invade the shelter, shouldn't the Turin doctor be hidden first? Hu Ma asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. The Turin doctor's room was locked, and there were no other awake people inside, so there was no unnecessary noise. The living dead don't notice that there. ”

"But what if there are undead?"

"If it's the undead, it's the same wherever it's hidden."

"That's what I said......"

As soon as Hu Ma's words fell, suddenly, a sound like an explosion was heard in the distance. This was followed by the shouts of people, footsteps, and the sound of guns firing.

"Not good!" His face changed drastically, "The vault has been attacked!" ”

"You come with me." Xu Fu said to the children.

At the same time, he closed the sketch of the story he had written by himself and placed it on the podium. Then they quickly walked out of the makeshift classroom door, and the children followed.

One of the children walked past the podium and accidentally touched the sketchbook to the floor. The notebook was flipped open on the ground.

Huma picked it up, glanced at it hurriedly, and saw one of the passages.

"Whenever people are dying, they may be at a loss for the meaning of their lives, even painful. Luckily, the meaning of my life was decided from the beginning. The fictional character in the book says, "It's about putting you at ease, about putting him at ease." That's what I'm supposed to do. But how do I put my mind at ease? ”

Xu Fu stood at the door, looked at Hu Ma, and said, "Hurry up." ”

Hu Ma hurriedly said "Okay", then closed the draft book and put it back on the podium. As he closed it, he swept to the next paragraph.

The fictional character continues: "Although this is only a short and false world, and I am only a short and false life, I have been born into this world after all.

"I also want my own peace of mind."

*

Xu Fu led the children to the hiding place in the shelter, and Hu Ma ran to the front. On the way, he also encountered several living dead, but they were all knocked to the ground by the flax who was the vanguard. The sound of gunfire filled my ears as the survivors fought. While firearms cannot kill the living dead, they are at least able to limit the speed of movement of the living dead.

The children did not cry, and followed Xu Fu with expressionless faces; Xu Fu was also noncommittal, as if he didn't take the danger into account at all. The occasional flax turned back, and it inevitably produced a strong sense of dislocation. Now the most feared thing seems to be him, a person with combat effectiveness, and these people without combat power behind him, any one of them is more fearless than him.

Just as they were about to pass around the corner, about five or six living dead came out at the same time.

Where did so many living dead people come from? Even if there was a hole in the shelter, it wouldn't be so many living dead people coming in at once, right? Could it be that someone deliberately attracted a large number of the living dead to the shelter? Hu Ma was stunned in his heart, and then shouted, "Everyone stand back!" ”

Xu Fu immediately stopped his progress and motioned for the children to follow him back. And a large number of bright and scorching flames suddenly erupted from Hu Ma's body, devouring the living dead in front of him.

The flames burned the living dead as well as flax itself, causing him to let out an irrepressible howl.

But--pain to pain, as long as he can save the lives of Xu Fu and the children, he doesn't care about the pain for a while. He screamed as he vented his strength and carved out a way out of life with great power. All the living dead who had been burned by his flames soon stopped moving. The children couldn't help but be moved when they saw the scorched corpses of these motionless living dead.

"Are these living dead really killed?" A child asked Xu Fu a question.

"I think so." Xu Fu said.

"If we become the living dead in the future, can we ask him to burn us?" Another child asked.

"Yes." Xu Fu nodded, and then said to Hu Ma, "Is your body okay?" ”

"Nope! Ask! Title! Hu Ma endured the severe pain and replied loudly.

Suddenly, he saw another huge figure appear in the distance in front of him. When I looked closely, it was actually a werewolf with a rickety posture. It had a three-meter-tall rotting body, angular muscles, and its hair was drenched in blood, giving it an unbearable smell of corpses.

At the same time that he saw the werewolf, the werewolf also saw him.

Hu Ma's hair suddenly stood up, and his inspiration was screaming wildly, telling him that the werewolf undead in front of him had a strength close to that of a super-grade psionic.

The werewolf fell to the ground on all fours without saying a word, this is the posture to rush over. Hu Ma immediately became fully engrossed on guard. However, he still couldn't be on guard in the end, because the werewolf was too fast. He didn't have time to react before the werewolf burst in front of him from a distance almost instantly, and then knocked him out without saying a word.

However, he has the psionic ability of super-speed regeneration. Although he was seriously injured this time, when he fell to the ground, he had recovered as before.

"Run!" He shouted.

And the werewolf didn't seem to have any intention of targeting Xu Fu and the children, seeing that Hu Ma was not dead, it rushed over again.

At that moment, another figure thrust in like an arrow, and took advantage of its unpreparedness to kick the werewolf in the cheek, and then kicked it away not far away.

This halfway inserted figure is a prophet.

"Quick!" He said to Huma, "Let's fight it together!" ”

"Okay!" Hu Ma hurriedly got up and looked around at the same time.

By this time they had reached the first floor of the shelter, and the main entrance in the distance had a large hole large enough for the truck to pass through. Judging by the size of the hole, it is likely that it was knocked out by this werewolf. Large numbers of the living dead are scrambling to get in.

Taking advantage of the soothsayer's attraction to the werewolf, Hu Ma came behind the werewolf and hugged him.

An unprecedented fire erupted from his body.

He was more afraid of the flames than the average person, and he knew more about what it was like to be burned by the flames day and night. But because of this, he was able to sketch the outline of the flame in his mind more concretely, so unusually as unusually. It is likely that even Xu Shengxing's image of flames is not as specific as his.

And when he decided to go all out, the speed of his flames destroying his flesh surpassed the speed of his super-fast regeneration. Such danger, such pain, is something he usually does not dare to touch no matter what. However, at this moment, in order to protect Xu Fu and the people in the shelter, he finally decided to use all his strength.

Flames comparable to super-psionic energy erupted from his body, and a bright sun appeared in the shelter.

However, at this time, a second undead spirit came in through the main entrance.

The undead resembled an old man in a tattered gray robe, his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, and an ancient bell in his right hand like a dry bone. When the prophet saw it, his face turned pale, and he immediately threw down the flax and the werewolf, and rushed at it like madness.

The undead shook the ancient bell, and the quaint bell echoed in the space, and the movement of all matter slowed down countless times. Whether it's a prophet, flax or werewolf, even the flickering of the flames becomes extremely slow.

And when the second bell rang, all matter stopped moving.

Only this undead spirit was still moving, and it was about to shake the ancient bell for the third time.
