Chapter 8: A Moment in One Night

When everyone entered the house, the torrential rain stopped, the blue sky was like a wash, the sky was full of stars, and the most beautiful scenery set off the cruelest reality. The pursuing monsters have all been destroyed, and the people in the house have gained temporary safety. Wang Mo beckoned to Gu Qi, hastily buried the two people who were killed by the monster outside the house, and checked the surroundings of the house again before returning to the house.

Chen Lingfeng and Mo Xiaoli cooperated with Chu Jingnan to close the windows and doors upstairs and downstairs, and after Wang Mo and Gu Qi came back, several people worked together to bring sofas and wardrobes behind the broken main door.

Everything was cleaned up, and everyone gathered in the living room, carefully lighting a few candles. Gucci distributed the food he was carrying, and since a large amount of equipment was still in the car, the food distributed to each person was barely enough to deal with a mouthful.

Wang Mo walked to the corner of the living room where the candle flame could not be illuminated, and put the food in front of the man who had just killed his wife, at this time the man was still trembling, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and kept muttering "I don't want to die". Wang Mo frowned and shook his head, he couldn't tell whether it was pitiful or sad, the weak eat the strong, the survival of the fittest, the man in front of him had been eliminated by this world full of fangs.

After a simple meal, Chu Jingnan and the three of them stayed in the living room to be in charge of guarding, and Chen Lingfeng and Mo Xiaoli were arranged to rest in the upstairs room.

"Captain, what happened to you guys in the supermarket?" Wang Mo asked, leaning against the wall, his face faintly looking a little cold in the light of the candlelight.

"A group of monsters crawled in through the vents in the basement and attacked us." Chu Jingnan bandaged the wound on his face and lit a cigarette.

"All the civilians we saved died?"

"All dead."

"Then why did Xiao Fan die?" Wang Mo seemed to be trying his best to control something, and his voice trembled a little.

"Are you suspicious of me?" Chu Jingnan snuffed out the cigarette butt, and his tone was deep but calm.

"Mozi, the first thing we have in the team, we must not question our superiors, what are you doing?" Gu Qi saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Then you asked him to tell me where the bullet marks on his arm came from?!" Wang Mo stood up from the darkness, his forehead bulging with green tendons, and his eyes full of anger. When he was moving the cabinet just now, he noticed Chu Jingnan's strange appearance, and the captain was deliberately hiding his left arm. At first, he thought it was only because the captain was injured in the arm, but later on closer inspection, he realized that it was grazed by a bullet.

"As I said, a bunch of monsters crawled in through the vent and attacked us, and I don't want to say it a second time." Chu Jingnan stood up and looked directly into Wang Mo's eyes.

"You're lying!" Wang Mo said coldly. Although he couldn't be sure that Xiao Fan died at the hands of Chu Jingnan, nine times out of ten he couldn't get rid of him. Xiao Fan's "be careful" was still echoing in his ears, coupled with the indifferent and cruel behavior of the captain who came all the way from the supermarket, Wang Mo found that Chu Jingnan had changed, maybe since the day the end came.

"Captain, tomorrow when I get to the shelter from the radio signal in Chenghai City, I will quit the SWAT team." Wang Mo was silent for a long time and said.

"Whatever you want, the police force has long ceased to exist," Chu Jingnan paused and continued, "I advise you to put away those naïve thoughts as soon as possible, the world has changed, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and the fittest survive" After speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

"Mozi, what are you..."Gu Qi looked at Wang Mo, his tone a little anxious.

"It's okay, it's my own decision." Wang Mo patted Gu Qi on the shoulder, he wanted to tell Gu Qi everything he guessed, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, he knew that Gu Qi's character was too easy to be swayed by one sentence, and the more he told him, the more it might hurt him.

In the dark, Chu Jingnan covered his injured cheeks, his expression was a little painful, he felt as if something was growing in his flesh, and soon, the painful expression disappeared, replaced by a strange smile.

On the second floor of the house there are three bedrooms, one of which has a window facing the starry sky outside. Mo Xiaoli found some girls' clothes in the closet in the room, and she rummaged through a few pieces that fit and prepared to change them.

Taking off her clothes soaked in the rainstorm, Mo Xiaoli's graceful figure bloomed quietly in the dark night. The moonlight shone dimly through the curtains on her crystal skin, outlining the charming curves. The hair was scattered behind him, and the watery jade body shimmered, exuding the unique fragrance of a girl.

Droplets of water rolled down Mo Xiaoli's hair and slid across her back, where long and thin whip marks lingered, dark red marks like red-hot soldering irons, reminding her of the past.

"Knock, knock, knock" There was a gentle knock outside the door, Mo Xiaoli hurriedly got dressed and sat on the edge of the bed, and soon Chen Lingfeng's voice came.

"May I come in?"

"Hmm"

Chen Lingfeng pushed the door in, and the beautiful girl in the moonlight made him stay in place in a daze.

"Why are you stunned there, come and sit." Mo Xiaoli patted the quilt beside her and motioned for Chen Lingfeng to sit next to her.

Chen Lingfeng walked up to Mo Xiaoli and sat down, looking at her blankly.

"Do I have something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that? Mo Xiaoli felt that her face was a little hot, she raised her feet and sat curled up with her hands on her knees.

"Ling Feng, is there already some kind of change in our bodies, I know you have noticed it. The body's recovery ability, strength, and eyesight have become different from ordinary people. Mo Xiaoli put her head on her knees and asked faintly.

"Maybe." This is also the knot that pressed on Chen Lingfeng's heart, after coming out of the tunnel, they really began to become different from ordinary people.

"Are we going to be like Lin Ge?" Mo Xiaoli's tone was lost and a little crying.

"No, it won't!" Chen Lingfeng looked at Mo Xiaoli, his heart rose with care and enthusiasm that he had not felt for many years, and his indifference was being melted little by little by the girl in front of him.

"I knew you would say that." Mo Xiaoli smiled, and suddenly changed her tone, "Ling Feng, do you miss your parents?" ”

Parents, Chen Lingfeng heard this strange and familiar word again, those two people who had blurred their appearances were his closest people, yes, where are they now? Is it like us hiding from the slaughter of monsters, or has it been turned into the bait of fierce beasts? He couldn't tell, he hadn't experienced that emotion.

"My parents..."Chen Lingfeng told Mo Xiaoli about his past, which was also the first person he confided in his past.

"So you're just like me." Mo Xiaoli said lightly, and crystal teardrops slipped through the corners of her eyes.

"My father left home before I was born, I never saw him, and he didn't even leave a single piece of clothing, not a single photograph, except for a lot of money and a lavish house. Although her mother had a lot of property, she was not happy, and she lived in hatred, hating her father who had abandoned her. And I, as a matter of course, became her venting tool, I have no childhood, no freedom, and the slightest disobedience to her will will be viciously whipped. Mo Xiaoli couldn't stop trembling, her nails had sunk deep into the flesh.

"I..."

"Don't say it again..."Chen Lingfeng hugged Mo Xiaoli into his arms, and hot tears slipped down his chest.

"Promise me, you... You can't leave me, you can't..."Mo Xiaoli raised her head, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she sobbed quietly with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"I promise you that I will never leave!" Chen Lingfeng gently wiped away Mo Xiaoli's tears, and the two hugged each other tightly.

The same encounter brought them closer to each other, this moment has long since been apocalyptic, and the temperature makes this cruel and cold world full of hope.
