Chapter 6: The Corpses, the Night Demons
Hope nodded and touched the head of Xu Qing, who was crying on his body: "No matter where you come from, since you have chosen to join our shelter, we will treat you as our own, but I hope you can be worthy of the trust that the shelter has placed in you." Xu Qing will tell you about the situation here in detail, and you will follow her in the future. ”
Xu Qing raised her tearful face: "Hopefully, Sister Jing, can she be saved?"
Hope touched her head: "It's not big, but it's still hopeful, even if he's ...... Daredevil. ”
"That...... What is the Night Demon? Also, what is the Corpse Clan?" Ning Zhou cautiously asked Xu Qing, who was lying on his bed holding a pillow and covering his face.
Xu Qing raised his face, curled up and wiped the tears on his face: "Ten years ago, after the outbreak of ghouls, a strange kind of ghouls appeared, they awakened their memories as humans, and some ghouls took the initiative to protect humans, and they were revered as corpses. ”
"So that's ....." Ning Zhou nodded: "Didn't you say that there are four corpse clans guarding us?
"No, the four sisters are all separated, they need to protect our resource points, generally speaking, with their abilities, even if they can't beat it, they can easily run away, but this time it was the night demon who attacked......" Xu Qing said and tears fell again.
"Eh, don't cry, who is the Night Demon?" Ning Zhou squatted awkwardly to the side and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
Xu Qing grabbed his clothes.
"...... you"
"Poof......
Ning Zhou looked at the clear snot on his sleeve, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"I don't know, the night demon is a very special existence, no one knows whether it is a man or a woman, and I don't know whether he is a corpse or a human, every time it makes a move, it will inevitably succeed, and no one can stop it, including the strongest corpse clan in the city. There was an example of a corpse who followed him who was successfully assassinated by the Night Demon, and the top shelters were kidnapped by him, and those people and corpses were missing, and they couldn't be found anywhere, and finally they were gone, and ......"
Xu Qing was silent for a moment: "The missing people are all women. ”
Ning Zhou's eyes shrank slightly.
"It's not like the night demon won't be noticed every time, but he's a different face every time, although I don't know why I used your face this time, but as long as you don't do anything to the shelter, we won't do anything to you, this is the rule of the shelter, at most it's to send you out of the shelter. ”
Ning Zhou opened his mouth, but still said what was in his heart: "This is also a bit too virgin, after all, this kind of troubled times." ”
Xu Qing shook his head: "Rules must be followed, especially in this kind of world, rules are particularly important, all shelters, the higher the ranking, the higher the level of attention and detail for the rules." ”
She looked at Ning Zhou: "The reason why people are human beings, faith is sometimes more important than life, all of us respect life and can give everything for it, but only faith cannot." ”
"Sure enough, let's send him out, the Daredevil, we don't have any power to restrain him. A middle-aged man on the right hand side of Hope said with a frown as he looked at the photo.
Hope turned his head to look at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi thought for a while: "Let's take a look again, no matter how strong the night demon is, he has never entered the shelter to kidnap people, go out as many teams as possible, the small corpse tide can deal with it, and there will not be too much danger, and we can go to the other corpse clan to have more people, after all, the night demon will only pick on the person who is alone, because it is not in accordance with the rules to send him away." ”
Hope nodded: "In favor of sending him away, please raise your hand." ”
The middle-aged man and another girl in a black robe and a hat raised their hands.
"What about those who are in favor of staying?" Hope glanced at the robed girl.
Xiao Qi and Ning Zhou saw that the inconspicuous one among the hard-working boys sitting here for some reason sat here and raised his hand.
"I met him today, and although it was only a glance, I felt he could believe it. The boy's words were vague and subjective, but none of them objected.
The little Lolita wearing Lolita who was sitting at the end also raised her hand, leaning on the back of the chair and holding a lollipop, and her immature voice sounded with a lazy tone: "Since Brother Groundhog thinks he can believe it, then I believe it too." ”
Brother Groundhog frowned, and his voice was a little stern: "Xiao Ai, this is a meeting, put away the lollipop!"
Little Lori sighed, pouted and pulled out a lollipop with a hint of Lolita saliva from her mouth, wrapped it in wrapping paper and put it in a transparent plastic box, which was full of all kinds of candy.
Hope looked at the few remaining people who did not express their opinions, and after waiting for a while to see that no one expressed any more opinions, he made a conclusion: "Three to two, then stay for the time being." Thank you, Minister Xiao. ”
"Ten years ago, ghouls appeared for unknown reasons...... Well, it's zombies, but these things are not the same as the zombies in movies or games, you should see it on the wall outside, it's okay when it first appears, normal people still run faster than them, and it's relatively easy for survivors to survive, but people find that they are strengthening every day, getting faster and faster, and their strength is getting bigger and bigger, and they slowly even surpass normal people, showing a completely unscientific evolutionary speed, so we call it a ghost, and the name ghoul comes from this. ”
Xu Qing was particularly serious during the lecture, and he didn't have the same joy as Erha at all.
"And in the second year, under the pressure of the stronger and stronger ghouls, mutants began to appear in the human race, some humans gained various special abilities, and everyone's body speed has been greatly improved, easily exceeding the previous human limit, such as me, I can pinch and bend a steel pipe without any training. ”
Xu Qing picked up the steel pipe on the side and gently pinched it and then let go, five finger marks appeared on the steel pipe, and Ning Zhou remembered the arm he had lost feeling that night...... It began to ache again.
"The corpse clan appeared not long after the ghouls appeared, and it was at that time that the four sisters of Liang Yuhong, the strongest guardian of the corpse clan in the shelter, appeared. The specific reason is no longer clear, neither Teacher Wang nor Sister Yuhong told me, and they both knew where my sister went, but every time I asked, I didn't say anything. ”
Xu Qing gritted his teeth and interrupted the lecture.
"I'm in a bad mood, so I'll go back first. I'll tell you about it next time. Xu Qing walked out with red eyes.
"Inner ......" Ning Zhou called Xu Qing out.
Looking at Xu Qing's red eyes and the tears on his face, he sighed: "Mourn." ”
Xu Qing shook his head: "I should have been used to parting from life and death, almost everyone in the shelter has relatives who died due to disasters, in comparison, I am the luckiest one with only the disappearance of my relatives." ”
"In this world, tears are the most useless existence. ”
Xu Qing disappeared at the door, leaving Ning Zhou sitting on the bed silent.
