Chapter XXV.

Because he couldn't get the captain's approval, he was hard and subservient in strength. In desperation, Rao Haotian could only hold his breath and wait for that moment to come.

By night, all the cicadas and heat of the summer season were gone, and all that remained was the smell of blood and rotting corpses in the building. The cold wind stirred the air full of death, and it couldn't help but make people feel a little worried.

In order to keep their spirits up, several people had already returned to the tent, and soon there was a faint snoring.

"Why did I still insist on saving people when I knew the critical situation at that time?"

Everyone gathered in front of a circle of candles that kept the light, and Chen Jinjie suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence and looked at He Baiyu, who was already sleeping in the tent.

"Because you're looking for death." Rao Haotian immediately said.

Wang Qi glared at him coldly, and the latter shut up.

Chen Jinjie ignored it. The dim light of the candle reflected the cheeks red, and the eyes lost their luster, reflecting the fiery red tongue of fire unfocused. Seems to be trying to remember something......

"Fourteen years ago, do you remember the underground nuclear leakage crisis in City B? I was only nine years old at the time, and at that moment last night I almost thought that time had gone back in time to the exact same day 14 years ago. All the humans in that city were either the dinner of the living dead, or they had escaped alive. The girl...... Just like last night, I watched her surrounded by a crowd of living dead at the mouth of the alley. She also saw me, with endless survival in her eyes, and she was begging me to save her...... But I was only nine years old at the time, so what could I do without any defense? My nature told me that I wanted to save her, but unfortunately I couldn't do it, and I watched her ...... was thrown to the ground by a group of hideous-looking monsters, and then ......" said, Chen Jinjie's voice was already choked with a hint of choking, and the circles under his eyes began to redden, as if there were hot tears about to overflow, reflecting the dancing flames as if he had seen the bloody scene of that night, "I will never forget that scene, her blood-stained face was full of grief and despair, and her dead eyes were still staring at me...... It was only when the pile of living dead turned their attention to her that I was able to escape the hellish place safely. But since then, I have been mired in the abyss of guilt and pain, and I have never been able to forgive myself whenever I think about that scene...... When I saw He Baiyu being watched last night, the scene from fourteen years ago seemed to appear in front of me again, as if God had given me another chance to redeem me. This time, I definitely won't sit idly by again. Even if it's death! ”

He accentuated the last four words, listening to Chen Jinjie tell about the past, He Qing, who was leaning on the edge of the balcony, couldn't help but look back at him for the first time, the soft and bright firelight reflected the well-defined face, and there was a faint sense of déjà vu between his eyebrows. But searching for memories that are about to fade to no avail.

The four sides fell silent silently, and the biting cold wind poured mercilessly into the cuffs and neck, mixed with a trace of sadness.

Rao Haotian's expression softened after a period of silence, he pondered for a while, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”

"Don't apologize to me. None of you are wrong. It's my own problem. Chen Jinjie looked as if he was drunk and red, and he staggered to his feet with his hands, his eyes misty with a layer of water. As he said lazily, he turned and walked towards his tent: "Whoever of you loves to keep vigil will go." I slept, good night! ”

Looking at his uncertain steps, Yi Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Chapter XXVI.

The atmosphere became strange again, and the rest of the people lost their interest, and when they saw that the night was deep, they retreated one after another. Without the physical barrier, the fragile flames on the candle swayed in the wind, and a gust of wind blew suddenly, as if the stars in the night sky had fallen.

The sound of the hands on the watch moving echoed in my ears, and only a few people remained.

Wang Qi, Ling Cheng, He Qing, and Mei Lian.

"Since you don't plan to rest yet, it's time to ask. Your identity. Wang Qi sat down in an empty seat with a rifle on his back. His eyes scanned the three of them with a vigilant and serious gaze, "I don't want to have people of unknown origin in the survival team. Open the skylight and say something, a few of us are elite students of the police academy of the city headquarters, and we were sent by the army to mix in that polytechnic university in civilian clothes to take the opportunity to investigate this incident. And what about you? I still don't know who you really are. Oh, and that girl named Liu Yuanyuan. ”

"Quite simply, I'm just an average freshman. It's just a bit of luck that I survived this zombie outbreak. Liu Yuanyuan is the same, there is nothing suspicious. But her family is a little more prominent, that's all. As soon as the words fell, He Qing said them in one breath as if he had practiced the lines for a long time.

"That's all?" Wang Qi hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at her meaningfully.

"Hmm!" He Qing nodded resolutely. Looking at the captain, there was not a trace of a lie.

"What about you?" The captain looked at Lingcheng, and finally arrived at this link, Lingcheng was overjoyed and angry when he heard the words, and was just about to speak, Wang Qi suddenly raised his hand and interrupted: "Don't say what kind of ordinary student you are, I have never seen a student with such good marksmanship." ”

"Killers." Lingcheng smiled habitually and said indifferently.

He Qing was stunned for a moment.

What if you say it, and what if you hide it? Even Wang Qi knew that at such a moment, there was only the struggle between humans and the walking corpse. They are all grasshoppers on a rope, does it matter what identity they are? But it's still survival of the fittest, that's all.

The expression on Captain Wang's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled: "You are very sincere." ”

Nonsense......

"Then what do you say is the purpose of your lurking at that school this time? It can't be as simple as just exterminating the walking dead, right? Wang Qi coughed dryly twice and continued to ask in an interrogative tone.

Lingcheng was silent.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have anything to say about that." Halfway through, he spoke faintly, his tone cold, "Everyone has their own secret bottom line. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ”

Wang Qi frowned coldly, and was about to ask again, but he also found that since the other party was unwilling to say, it was useless to come hard. After all, I don't know how thick the strength of this murderous killer in front of him is. Maybe you'll be defeated.

Moreover, Lingcheng also knew that they would not kill him no matter what, after all, in this survival team, he was indispensable to help someone with extraordinary strength.

Wang Qi could only turn his attention to the last person - Merian.

The girl always sat quietly looking at the world beyond the rooftop, her face had always changed without shock, and her moss-green eyes were clear without the refraction of light.

"Who are you?"

"Meriann Cooper." She didn't look back, and spat out fluent Chinese.

"How old are you?"

"Nine years old."

"Who are you?"

"Orphans." As she spoke, looking back, her eyes as deep as the sea and as clear as a pool seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and Wang Qi wanted to avoid her gaze a little. The girl continued: "I have said before that if I talk about my past, I can talk about the end of the world. But this day seems to have really come, but I find that there is no point in talking about it. I don't think you have the heart to listen to an orphan's story at a moment like this. ”

The girl's voice was beautiful, soft, as if coming from a distant dream, giving people the illusion of fluttering. There was nothing in her voice that she was an American.

Mei Lian was right, Wang Qi really didn't have the interest to listen to her story. He got straight to the point: "Why did you suddenly show up at that school when the water was contaminated?" It can't be just a coincidence! ”

"I'm going to die." The girl gave a spooky smile.

As for the specific reason, the girl has always been tight-lipped. That look can even force death.

"I guess you're done with all the questions you have to ask, right?" Ling Cheng suddenly interjected, and he spread his hands: "Actually, I think that at this moment, the truth of these things is no longer important. What we should be thinking about right now is how to get out of this hellish place. ”

Listening to Wang Qi's gloomy face, he looked at the young man a few times. He snorted coldly and got up and went back to the tent: "You are in charge of the vigil tonight, goodbye." ”

Get you back...... The two words came into his mind in an instant, and He Qing's gaze staring at Wang Qi's back was enough to replace the gesture that required mosaics according to international practice.
