A week ago, at the door of the morgue in this hospital.

Song Xiaocheng felt that his eardrums were "buzzing", and he seemed to be shocked by Hou Xiaolin's calm words.

It was the first day he saw zombies run out of the morgue with his own eyes, and the details of that day are still vivid.

About four or five zombies rushed out of it, all of them naked, their arms drooping, and they only ran towards the outside of the courtyard wall.

But one of the "corpses" was pulling something to cover the body, and took advantage of the chaos to flee in the opposite direction.

At that time, he was haunted by a blind corpse, and after a hard fight, a wave of corpses broke out the next day, and the dead corpse that had escaped, he didn't take it to heart at all.

"You are the dead body that disappeared at that time!?" Song Xiaocheng looked at the man named Hou Xiaolin in front of him in disbelief and looked at him carefully.

Similar in age to himself, in his twenties. The facial features are flat, the appearance is rough, but the skin is very white and delicate, and the good state is like a character running out of a youth cartoon. The curls on his head that are curler than Teddy's are like the mane of a lion, and the volume of hair is enviable.

"Dead body??Lao Tzu didn't die at all!"

"Oh, I see, you're on duty in the morgue, right?" Song Xiaocheng felt that his reasoning was very accurate. Otherwise, how can we explain that a large living person escaped from the morgue?

"Shit! That morgue was never on duty, and I was put in the morgue like a dead body!"

Be methodical when talking to people. There is a kind of person who doesn't say it if you don't ask him, and even if you ask, he doesn't necessarily say it, either his personality is too boring, like Cui Wei, or the city is too deep, like Gao He and Huan Lingyu. And there are some people who are too eager to talk, and they can't wait to pour out the words they have been hoarding for a long time on you without you asking. It's like the original chapter sulfur a few days ago.

There is also this Hou Xiaolin in front of him. Right now, I was rummaging through the cabinets in the room looking for something, pouting and rummaging, taking out two slightly flattened paper cups from the bottom of the TV cabinet, and pouring a glass of half-cool white water for Song Xiaocheng and Lin Yu, while chattering about our people's own stories.

About ten minutes have passed, from his life experience to his birth, to how hard he worked to start a company and become a business owner. Song Xiaocheng didn't hear anything about the theme of this book, except that he knew that Hou Xiaolin was at least forty years old this year, and that he knew a lot of industry insiders that he didn't know before.

So when Mr. Hou finally finished telling a story about his foot-washing in the city and drank a few sips of water in front of the electric kettle, Song Xiaocheng hurriedly seized the gap.

"And how did you end up in the morgue?"

The man opposite was silent for a moment, gritting his tongue with his upper and lower teeth, as if he was pondering how to answer the question.

"So then I ...... I killed myself. I don't want to face such a life anymore, and I can't find the meaning of life. So I drove to the Ring Bridge and jumped off the bridge. ”

Hou Xiaolin said lightly, as if he was trying to avoid that memory. When he said this, Lin Yu, who had been staring at the TV, finally turned his head.

"But I can't die at all. ”

"What?" Song Xiaocheng couldn't help blurting out.

"I can't die. ”

Hou Xiaolin said a little melancholy. As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the axe by the wall, and before Song Xiaocheng and Lin Yu could react, they slashed towards his left arm, and a blood light splattered in the room, and with a "snap", a severed left hand fell to the ground.

Lin Yu let out a scream in shock, and Song Xiaocheng was also startled by this sudden self-harm. But then, something even more incredible happened—

With Hou Xiaolin's painful groan, a hand immediately grew from the severed part of his left arm, intact, except for the blood, it was exactly the same as the previous hand, as if it had never been cut off.

"Chop off the hands and long hands, cut off the heads and grow the heads. The other day, when my mouth was light, I ate several of my left hands. Hou Xiaolin threw the axe back into the corner and said something terrifying in a bland tone, "So they can't kill me at all." ”

Song Xiaocheng leaned over and picked up the hand on the ground and looked at it carefully.

"But I was pushed into the hospital morgue at the time. I think it was probably because I fell too hard at that time, and I fainted for a while. By the time I woke up again, it was already night. I found myself naked, and in that morgue, several people were standing with me—of course, I later learned that they were zombies.

"I wanted to go home, so I had to pull a body bag to cover my body and run out the door with the zombies. And it turned out to be there, and I saw you. ”

Song Xiaocheng never expected that behind the detail that he didn't pay attention to at all that day, there was such a great person, this is a man who can feed the whole earth with his own strength!

"That...... Can I try it?" Song Xiaocheng grabbed one of Hou Xiaolin's arms and reached out to get the axe in the corner, but Hou Xiaolin pulled his hand away.

"No, don't try, it hurts!"

"Okay...... And then? Why are you here? ...... Watching TV? Why do you still have TV to watch?"

Hou Xiaolin grabbed a rag casually, wiped the blood on his arm, and continued.

"That night, after I ran out of the morgue, I wanted to go home, but I was stopped by a doctor on duty at the hospital, who told me to go with him and he helped me get clothes. As a result, that guy didn't have a good heart at all!"

Hou Xiaolin's expression and appearance were a little indignant, as if he was still angry about what happened that day.

"That man was the doctor who dealt with me during the day, and from him he wrote my death certificate, but at night he watched me run past him. He said he was helping me get dressed, but he locked me up in the lab, tied to the dissecting table, trying to cut me open and study it carefully! But he tossed me all night, and couldn't figure out anything before my body healed. Until the next night. ”

As he spoke, Hou Xiaolin stopped, a little reluctant to continue.

"What happened the next night?" Lin Yu asked.

"I was tied to his autopsy table all day, until the next night, when I heard a sudden commotion outside, and I thought it was a fight, a riot or something...... Everywhere there was screaming and mourning. Eventually, several zombies burst into my room and started eating me.

"I watched as they tore the flesh off of me piece by piece, chewing it in my mouth, but the wound healed in an instant. I screamed and screamed for help, but no one could save me. The guys had eaten me for hours, and I was getting used to the pain all over my body, when finally someone showed up and rescued me. ”

"Who?" Song Xiaocheng remembered, the day after he saw Hou Xiaolin, it was the day the zombie disaster broke out. And if someone can rescue a person from the mouths of several zombies at that time, then this person is really not simple.

"That man...... Hey, that guy was a zombie, but he wasn't like any other zombie......! He was wearing clothes, and the skin on his face seemed to be pieced together from various corpses, and he couldn't be ugly......"

It's him again! It's that bald freak again!

"That person saved you?" Song Xiaocheng felt incredulous.

"It's not about saving. I guess I noticed that the people in this room were screaming all the time, but they weren't killed. He came in and chased the other zombies away, and tried a few more times himself—he tried to rip off my arm, but I immediately grew a new arm, and smashed my head with my fist, and my eyes went black for a moment, and a new head immediately grew. He tore open my belly with his hand and pulled out my heart and threw it away, but as soon as he took it out, my belly grew again. When he found out that he couldn't kill me, he asked me to help him do something, or let the zombies come back and continue to eat me. ”

"He asked you to help him do things!?" Song Xiaocheng was more and more surprised.

"Yes. Of course, I can only say yes. Fortunately, what he asked me to do was very simple, just to communicate with other living people outside once in a while, or to help him do something that was inconvenient for him. Running errands, buying something or something. ”

"That bald monster asked you to help him run errands and buy something?!"

"That's right. Hey, don't be so rude!What a bald monster, his name is Hiratsuka Yoshi......"

"Isn't that the point, man......! The name sounds like a Fuso man! He told you to go shopping, what to buy, dead bodies?"

"It's not. They have corpses, and I don't know where they got them, and I don't want to know. The last time was a few days ago, he asked me to go to the experimental equipment market in the eastern suburbs to buy medicines, utensils, pesticides, etc., but I couldn't tell what I wanted. I'll just pull a cart of cash ......."

"Wait, wait...... Wait a minute, the experimental equipment market in the eastern suburbs??"

"That's right. Don't you know that market? Aren't you a native of X City?"

Song Xiaocheng is of course a native of X City, and of course he knows about the experimental equipment market. When he and Huan Lingyu were children, they sneaked through that market several times for entertainment.

"I just want to know, is there still 'selling' things in that market?"

"Of course, what do you think? Oh...... I see, you must have thought that the rest of the country was like the southern suburbs, occupied by zombies, right?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not! It's just that the southern suburbs of Hetai District and Dujiang New District are blocked, and the rest of X City is fine. Officials explained the zombie incident as a 'mutant plague', and the military cordoned off the entire city on the same day. ”

As he spoke, Hou Xiaolin picked up the remote control, quickly changed the TV channel, and switched to a local TV station in X City that was broadcasting news, but what was playing on the news was a lot of footage of cute pets.

"Hmm...... It's been out of the air for the past two days. There was also a special column the day before yesterday. Hou Xiaolin threw the remote control aside and said, "Anyway, it's an agreement between me and Hiratsuka Xie: I'll help him do something I can, and he'll let those zombies stay away from me and not come to eat me." ”

Song Xiaocheng was speechless for a while, not knowing which thing to be surprised first: on the one hand, there was a strange person in front of him who recovered faster than the super comic hero, and this person actually reached a peace agreement with the bald weird who killed people without blinking;

"Then can we move somewhere else?" Lin Yu asked.

"No, I can't. Didn't I say it, the military has already blocked this side, both in Hetai District and Dujiang New District. ”

"Then why are you still going out to buy things?"

"I have my way. Hou Xiaolin said dryly, of course, he didn't want to say more, "It's the two of you." Stop telling me about getting lost and tell me honestly, what the hell do you want to do, maybe I can help you. ”

Before Song Xiaocheng could speak, Lin Yu rushed to speak first:

"I want to eat hawthorn chips, and I want to take a shower and clean clothes!"

"Shut up!" Song Xiaocheng poked Xiao Yu with his finger to remind her to stay sane, "Master Hou, no, Brother Hou...... Mr. Hou, I'm actually just here to figure out one thing. A very important thing. ”

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Brother Hou, have you ever heard of the 'Great Rune'?"
