The situation outside the fireproof fortress was far less urgent than that of the Flame Brotherhood, except that from time to time, there were dozens or twenty scattered zombies, running around scratching the wall of the garbage pile, or standing in a place where the living people in the courtyard could be seen and screaming for a while. It seems to be just a constant reminder that the zombie apocalypse is far from over. Most of the time, they are dispersed in an instant by water cannons or other projectiles.

Some of the unscrupulous boys even followed behind the old skin's ass, carrying crowbars and fire axes into the streets, chasing zombies as if they were celebrating a holiday. Song Xiaocheng didn't bother to remind them, nor did he bother to tell what kind of scene it was like in front of the war-ready warehouse just three or five kilometers away from here, and even felt a little sorry for those poor zombies.

In fact, for this kind of child's behavior, Song Xiaocheng thinks that the best solution is to encourage them, so that they can't recognize their wrong behavior, just like if there is an ignorant bear child spit on you, not only should you not be angry, but praise him, and even give him a candy - in this way, when the cruel reality uses the cold and sharp side to teach them the truth of being a human being, the lesson they get will be painful enough and unforgettable.

That's right, "unforgettable" in the physical sense. Engrave with teeth and fingernails.

Some people may think that this method of education is too cruel. But...... What does this have to do with him Song Xiaocheng? Even if it was almost dusk when he walked out of the gate of the fire fortress, didn't those little fart children still know how to restrain themselves, and the more they played, the happier they became? That means that they are far from knowing the power of this world.

Some people nag that the world has changed, that it has become cruel and bloody, that it has become cannibalistic and does not spit out bones. If you want Song Xiaocheng to say, this world has never changed, thinking that this world has always been so cruel and bloody, and it has always been like eating people without spitting out bones. It's just that recently, after eating someone, I forgot to wipe my mouth, and as a result, I was seen by those flesh and bones mortals who lacked eyes and ears.

But there is one thing he agrees with: there are people who are no longer destined for this era.

For example, to this day, they are still chattering about those people who remember the old era—what project plan, what marketing amount, what should have been payday—how should they comment on these people? The zombie apocalypse has been breaking out for almost a week, but there are still people thinking about this kind of thing? Song Xiaocheng thinks that the main reason is that the fire fortress is too close to the supermarket, and as a result, these people still have food to eat every day, so life is too good, unlike those people in the Flame Brotherhood, who have enough awareness of the apocalypse.

Another example is Lin Yu. The woman is also the type who is unaware of the apocalyptic vision. She didn't complain about the disruption of her normal life like some suit brother or bald uncle in the courtyard of the fire fortress, and she didn't worry about her bag or cosmetics - although this made Song Xiaocheng feel a little relieved - but when Song Xiaocheng insisted on going back to the cemetery of Qinglongyuan at night to find out, the woman actually dragged herself with a dead face, saying nonsense such as "I will never let you go again" and "I will die together".

Although Gao He and Cui Wei hesitated and stayed in the fire fortress to "protect everyone", the final result still made Song Xiaocheng angry - he had to go out with Lin Yu. But when you think about it, it's probably a good idea.

On the one hand, it can keep her away from the squinting eyes after food and clothing in the fire fortress, and on the other hand, Song Xiaocheng is indeed a little worried that he will also encounter the same experience as Yuan Zhangsu.

"No...... No, don't take a gun. Don't take your phone – turn it to silent. Tune in now! Dictionary for me, I'll hold it myself. ”

According to the codex, if the ability of Yuan Zhangsu is a side effect of Igni's escape phenomenon, then maybe the escape phenomenon will also turn Xiao Yu from a soft girl to a tough guy...... Maybe, maybe!

It's still so hot and dry in the middle of August, even the occasional evening breeze can't change that. Lin Yu originally planned to hold Song Xiaocheng's arm, but Xiaocheng reminded him that they were not out shopping, but going to be born and die. So holding the arm becomes hooking the corner of the clothes with your fingers.

"Where are we going?"

"Qinglong Yuan. ”

"Where's the Green Dragon Plateau?"

"In ...... Well, behind the fence of a hospital. ”

"Which hospital?"

"Third Central Hospital. It's the same hospital where you last got the injection. Song Xiaocheng felt a little impatient.

"Is that the same hospital where you didn't come to accompany me last time?"

"Because I was working overtime. Yes, that's the place. ”

Although Xiao Yu's voice was not noisy, it was like a kitten, buzzing softly around Song Xiaocheng's ears. It's not as annoying as sparrows or crickets, but it still makes him feel a little irritated.

"And what exactly did you eat for lunch?"

"Huan Lingyu's shrimp porridge. Stop talking!

In fact, the two of them are still some distance away from the Third Hospital, but they have just walked through the intersection of the southern combat readiness warehouse.

Luckily, I didn't happen to encounter a wave of corpses or anything like that.

"Why is it getting dark?"

"Because it's night. Song Xiaocheng simply wondered if she was trying to lure herself into talking.

"Why does the sky turn yellow-green at night?"

"Because of the light!"

Song Xiaocheng was casually perfunctory, but he had to admit that Lin Yu was right.

Indeed, since they had walked through the intersection where the Flame Brotherhood was located, the atmosphere had started to get strange. No zombies, no lights, no fires......

Although there are not many people in the whole city since the zombie incident, the city is still the same city, and not much has changed: there is still daylight during the day, there is still the moon when there is a moon, flowers and plants are still flowers, even sparrows, rats, and black multi-legged insects on the streets.

But this part of the city is different.

There seemed to be a yellow-green mist in front of me, like a sandstorm, but there was not a trace of wind in the air. There was no green urban greenery on either side of the road — shrubs or grass or tall street trees — and the pit where Song Xiaocheng remembered planting privet trees was now empty.

There were no birds, no cicadas, no insects, not even a single sound.

The visibility of the field of vision is not high, only twenty or thirty meters, just like the haze weather in the winter in X City. The asphalt road, which should have been pitch black, now looks a dull yellow-green, and the red, black, or white cars that are scrapped on the side of the road have a disgusting yellow-green hue. It's like someone has added a yellow-green filter to the whole world.

"Xiaocheng, I'm a little scared of ......" Lin Yu pinched the corner of Song Xiaocheng's clothes and shrank behind him.

"Are you afraid?"

"Hmm!"

"Coincidentally, I'm a little scared too. ”

After walking a few more intersections, when he turned the corner in front of the Third Hospital, Song Xiaocheng suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled. When he looked back, Lin Yu was already standing in place and stretched out his hand to point ahead.

Through the yellow-green mist, Song Xiaocheng faintly saw what Lin Yu was referring to.

It is a figure in a trance.

There was only one person, standing on the sidewalk in a daze. It's like a humanoid panel, motionless.

The two stood there and watched for about a minute, and Song Xiaocheng decided to step forward.

As we got closer, the figure became clearer and clearer. Judging by the outline, it is indeed a person. Looking at the figure, he is shorter than Song Xiaocheng. Just motionless.

When he got closer, he saw that the man was a man, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and looking like a white-collar collar, but he was just standing motionless, facing the two of them.

Take it a little closer...... Take it a little closer......

Song Xiaocheng could even see the person's biased hairstyle, his face was a little thin, but the man was still motionless.

When the two parties were about ten meters apart, Song Xiaocheng had already seen the man's face clearly - his eyes were only the whites of his eyes, but there were no pupils; there were a few scratches on his face, which had condensed into scabs, and a hole was broken in his cheeks, and a large piece of flesh was missing, revealing his teeth inside, which was clearly a zombie; and the shirt he was wearing turned out to be a security uniform.

"Xiao Li?"

Song Xiaocheng recognized that this person was the Xiao Li who was at the door of the hospital morgue that day and guarded with him for two nights.

It's just that although he has turned into a zombie, he doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of attacking himself. At this time, Song Xiaocheng and the others were already facing each other from him, but the zombie just stared at Song Xiaocheng with a pair of white eyes, expressionless.

Song Xiaocheng motioned for Lin Yu to take two steps away from him, walked in front of the zombie, and faced the zombie, and the zombie was face to face with Song Xiaocheng. Song Xiaocheng tentatively pushed the zombie, and the zombie also pushed Song Xiaocheng with similar force, and there was no extra action.

Song Xiaocheng, who was full of suspicion, didn't know what the situation was. If a large number of zombies are pouring up and trying to kill him, then there is nothing wrong with him raising his right hand and killing him. But now, the other party is motionless, which makes him embarrassed. had no choice but to turn around and wave to Lin Yu, motioning for her to follow. The two slowly retreated, while watching the zombie staring at Xiao Li still standing in place and staring at themselves, still motionless.

After crossing the intersection and turning the corner, Song Xiaocheng almost screamed, and hurriedly turned around and covered Lin Yu's mouth first, lest she scream-

In front of the Third Central Hospital, on both sides of the road and on the sidewalk, it was bustling with "people".

One by one, exactly the same as Xiao Li's state. The eyes without pupils seem to be watching everything around them, some of them do not move at all, and some of them only move slightly. Except that his face is not very good-looking, and his skin is full of corpse spots and scars, he doesn't seem to be much different from a living person.

None of them were hostile.

Song Xiaocheng frowned, not even daring to pant too hard. Lin Yu covered his mouth and tried not to scream. The two of them passed through the zombie horde little by little. The zombies along the road all turned their heads to look at the two of them, but they didn't intend to do anything at all. Song Xiaocheng could almost hear his heartbeat.

It seems that the city has been overrun by zombies. What I had guessed before was indeed right, if it weren't for the people of the Flame Brotherhood who blocked the zombies, I'm afraid that the other districts of X City would have become like this a long time ago.
