Volume II: The Boundary of the Mirror 189, The Presence or Absence of Hope
When the sound of the helicopter propeller turning fills the ears, and when the city beneath your feet becomes smaller and smaller, it feels very unreal. Before he had traveled through space to this world, he began to constantly brush shoulders with death, especially after entering the test flight yard and before takeoff, he almost decided that he was going to die here.
After Zhao Meng took Sang Quinoa and five or six soldiers into the test flight institute, they first successfully drove the fire truck over and blocked the iron gate, and then rescued Li Liancheng and Hai Lingjia who were trapped in the building.
Zhao Meng had no intention of staying in the test flight institute, and in accordance with the relevant laws of the state of emergency, he conscripted Li Xiaocheng and Hailingjia, who had served in the army, in the name of the Suzaku City Emergency Joint Command, to urgently enlist in the army, and prepared to lead everyone, including Lai, to evacuate from the test flight institute to the national refuge base in the interior.
The evacuation plan was quickly clarified, and it was found that compared with the group of civilians he led a few days ago, or the rabble, these temporary combinations of military and police led by Zhao Meng were much more efficient. They don't have any extra thoughts, they don't have any complaints, maybe they will have in their hearts, but they all consciously put their personal emotions aside.
They then refueled a training helicopter in the test flight yard, piloted by Hailinga, and flew off the ground with the rest of the people.
The whole process ...... In fact, the front was fine, but just as they began to refuel the helicopter, there were so many zombies outside the test flight yard that the 4-meter-high wall of the test flight yard was useless...... And then the helicopter almost didn't fly!
Zombies are attracted by the sound of gunshots, and the south gate of the Aviation Academy is close to the bustling street, and there are already a lot of zombies outside. They were able to stay in the women's dormitory safely for a few days, thanks to the fact that the campus of the Aviation Academy was too large, and there were only a dozen of them, and they had been careful not to attract the attention of the zombies. But before they entered the test flight courtyard, the gunshots inside had already alarmed the zombies outside the south gate, and then Zhao Meng and them arrived, as soon as the gunshots rang out, the zombies outside also poured in like a tide.
The 4-meter-high wall of the test flight yard can block the curious wall climbers, even the zombies are helpless, but that is relative to a single zombie, when there are thousands of zombies outside the wall, the layers are like overflowing the embankment after the water is full, and they will pour into the test flight yard in an uproar.
At that time, the jet fuel had not yet been filled, and Zhao Meng and a few soldiers formed a weak line of fire, trying to use their rifle fire to stop the tide of zombies. These military policemen can be regarded as warriors with iron will, and in the face of the tide of zombies, none of them turned around and fled. But their guns were so thin that even though zombies kept falling in the midst of the guns, it was like throwing pebbles into the rapids, and they couldn't even get up the waves.
At that time, the civilians who came, including the big Niu Kexia, had already been driven into the cabin, and if the plane was destined to fail, then at least they were the last to die.
I sat by the window, watched the dense zombies continue to flow over the high wall like water from outside the wall, and then fell to the ground like dumplings, and then immediately got up, stared at the red eyes, grew the mouth, and ran towards them frantically.
At that time, what lived in two worlds, what was used to life and death, it was all a lie!
After coming here, he only felt that his muscles were tight and his bladder was swollen, and he was able to hold back and pee his pants on the spot, all because Liang Qin, who was sitting next to him, closed his eyes and buried his head in his arms, as a big man, he really couldn't afford to lose that person.
Although the test flight yard is ridiculously large, the zombies are only 100 meters away from them, and some have even run within a few tens of meters.
At the critical moment, Li Xiaocheng asked to stop refueling and let Hailingjia take off immediately, without waiting for Zhao Meng's reply, he directly withdrew the refueling pipe, and held the refueling pipe to spray the approaching zombies of aviation fuel in the refueling pipe.
Hailinga was ready to take off, and the huge whirlwind brought by the propeller was accompanied by the roar of the engine, and even the sound of the soldiers still crouching in the door of the cabin was drowned out.
Zhao Meng also got on the plane, and ordered Li Liancheng to board the plane immediately, but Li Liancheng still took Hailingjia's Tang knife, and solved the zombie that almost climbed onto the cabin, and after everyone else got on the plane, he was the last to jump on the plane, at that time the plane was more than one meter above the ground and two meters faster, Li Shancheng inserted the Tang knife into the head of a zombie following behind him, jumped on the spot, grabbed the edge of the helicopter cabin, and was carried away from the ground by the plane, and then pulled him into the cabin by two soldiers.
That's the real one-shot shot, and if it's half a second late, or Li Liancheng's last jump, he'll stay there forever. And even though the plane has taken off, the zombies below are still frantically pouring into the test flight yard, Li Shancheng took off his jacket and wrapped a rifle with an empty magazine and wrapped it in a ball, plus he had a lot of fuel on his body just now, at this time he used a windproof light machine to ignite his clothes and threw them into the zombie group below, and the fuel sprayed earlier caught fire, instantly drowning a large number of zombies in the sea of fire.
Looking down at the smaller and smaller zombies in the sea of fire, Li Xiaocheng let out a long breath, put back the feet hanging outside the cabin, leaned against the bulkhead, and asked Zhao Meng, who had never smoked, for a cigarette from Zhao Meng, who was sitting next to him, but found that a beautiful and unreasonable little girl opposite was staring at him intently.
"Teacher?" Although the helicopter's propellers were noisy, Mulberry shouted tentatively. If you want to ask her who is the happiest in this world, it must be Li He, and if you ask her who is the happiest she meets, it must be her teacher Li Xiaocheng.
In the loud noise, Li Liancheng couldn't hear what Mulberry said at all, but from Mulberry's mouth, he knew that this little girl was calling him "teacher", so he nodded and responded with a friendly and polite smile.
But such a smile made the little girl's mood sink to the bottom of the lake in an instant.
I have come to know that this Li Lonely City is not the Li Lonely City they know in their world, Lyanna will slowly analyze this matter with her, he just let out a long breath now, and looked down at the test flight yard that was burning a fire and was flooded by zombies, and he didn't expect that he made a decision yesterday in exchange for the current ending, at that time he just wanted to join Li Lonely City, and hide in it for a while by the high walls of the test flight yard.
Liang Qin finally lifted his head from his arms, but he still lay on top of him, poking his head out of the porthole. He leaned back so that she could see more clearly, but no matter how much he let it, the space was so small, and the girl's hair was scattered on his face, and it was a little itchy.
I thought about it anyway, the noise of the propeller was loud, and no one else could hear what I said, so I had the courage to say to Liang Qin: "Hey! Girl, be my girlfriend! "It's a joke, but it's also serious, it's not that I'm in a hurry to get off the list, I just feel that it's so difficult to live, and I want to grasp all the beauty.
Liang Qin turned his head suddenly, looked at the past, his clear eyes widened, and asked loudly, "What did you say?" I can't hear you! ”
He smiled and shrugged his shoulders to say nothing.
Liang Qin has been looking at the past, and it is a little embarrassing to see it, just when the time of the comedy twisted his head away in embarrassment, Liang Qin suddenly reached out to hold his face, and kissed him directly towards the mouth of the visitor.
For a while, he was also drunk, this was really drunk, and there was only one thought left in his mind: Come on, do you believe that your brother likes girls now?
Zhao Meng walked into the cockpit, put on headphones and sat next to Hailingjia, there should have been a co-pilot here, but now the whole plane depends on Hailingjia alone.
"Sir," Hailingjia saw that it was Zhao Meng, and pointed to the oil gauge and said, "We can't fly to the refuge base inland. ”
Zhao Meng nodded, the time for refueling was too short, and it was a great luck that the plane could take off, he didn't need any map, so he said directly to Hai Lingjia: "Change the course, fly in the direction of seven o'clock, let's go to Xiaoqianshan Forest Park." ”
Hai Lingjia nodded and made an OK gesture to Zhao Meng, and then the fuselage began to tilt slightly, changing the direction of air flight.
……………………………………………………
"Look, helicopters!"
Just as the helicopter that had come to take with Lyanna and Sang Quinoa changed course in the air and flew from northwest to southwest, Li He sat on the roof of the teaching building of Zhenhong Wenwu School and saw the helicopter flying high above their heads.
However, unlike Li Xinrou, who was standing beside him dancing and shouting, Li He knew that unless they got in touch with the helicopter in advance and prepared a distress signal, it was basically impossible to detect them at the height of the helicopter. Even if it did, the helicopter, which was purely passing by, would not risk landing at will to rescue them. Helicopter landing also requires sufficient site conditions, and the scene of landing on Paradise Island that led to the destruction of Afra's plane and the death of people is still clear in Li He's heart.
Therefore, when Li Xinrou shouted and jumped for a while and then sat on the ground in disappointment, Li He comforted her very indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it's a good thing that a helicopter flies over the sky, at least we won't be the last few people in this world." ”
Li He had forgotten that he had been in this school for a few days, and in short, he had been in a low mood since that thrilling night.
Hope, if it didn't have it in the first place, maybe it would be better, but if it gives you hope, and when you are full of hope and ready for a new beginning, that hope is suddenly extinguished, that sense of loss and frustration will make people feel like they have been completely hollowed out.
They found the spatial rift and came to this world, just to find the author to rewrite the ending, and then find a way to return to their world and start over. At that time, none of them thought that the author's world would also fall into the vortex of apocalypse. But since it's the end of the world here, if you can't find the author, you can't find it, anyway, their current ability and experience can also allow them to live for a while, since it's the end of the world, what else can you ask for?
But he still found the author again, and said that the author was moved to create the book again, and everything was developing towards the most desired result, but everything came to an abrupt end at the beginning, and Li Jie died.
That author died.
Li Jie didn't have a chance to run out at that time, but in order to buy his daughter a few seconds, he put himself in.
Looking back, Li He was a little resentful in his heart, if Li Jie hadn't been so stupid at that time, let go of Luo Xi, who had mutated, and ran out, wouldn't he still have him Li He by his side? Li Jie only needs to run out by himself, and Li He is confident that he can still solve the crisis at that time.
But......
There is no but, what Li He can't understand is that Li Jie's actions at that time were just the instinct of being a father, maybe he also knew that it didn't mean much, but as long as he could hold Luo Xi and fight for Li Xinrou even if it was just a few seconds, Li Xinrou would be able to run away.
And so it is.
On the other hand, if, as Li He thought, Li Jie only cared about running for his life at that time, who knows what the outcome would be?
The whole school is already surrounded by zombies, but the slope path at the school gate is very narrow, and no matter how many zombies there are, the last ones to squeeze to the door can only be a handful, and those small number of zombies can't knock the school door open. And more zombies, in front of the vertical height of seven or eight meters of the school wall and foundation, can only wander and roar outside.
To say lucky, at this time, Li He and their luck, the zombies outside the school, not as crazy as the zombies they met in the test flight yard, although they were surrounded outside, they seemed to be relatively quiet, and there was no posture that stacked arhats had to climb in. According to Li He's analysis, perhaps there were too many corpses in the school, and the smell of corpses masked their breath as living people.
In the past few days, Li He's mood has been very low, of course, not only Li He, but the few people who survived, none of them were in a bad mood. But no matter how bad the mood is, there is one thing they must deal with, and that is the dozens of corpses in the school. There were dozens of zombies that broke in that night, as well as their former companions, and for Li Xinrou and Zhong Lingxi, there were also their fathers, teachers and classmates.
The corpse must be disposed of, not to mention anything else, just lying on the ground horizontally, who looks at it and shudders? Who knows if they will get up again? If you do get up, this time it won't be a zombie, but a ...... Finish.
The labor force is Li He himself, Zhong Lingxi can still take a hand, Li Xinrou and Yin Xiuna can basically only cheer up. Li Jie redid the character design before he died, he set his daughter Li Xinrou as an SSS-level all-round warrior, but at least for now, Li He has not seen any special abilities of Li Xinrou, and her specialty seems to be limited to singing and dancing......
There is no more choice in the treatment plan, there is a vegetable field in this school, and Li He dug several large holes in the vegetable field. The soil in the vegetable field was originally in this hill bag, so Li He was able to dig the pit to a depth of one or two meters.
On the first day, he dug two separate pits for Li Jie and Luo Xi to bury them, and also dismantled two desks as tombstones, and Li Xinrou and Zhong Lingxi carved words on the desks respectively.
The next day, Li He dug a bigger and deeper pit, buried Miao Keke and Luo Yongnan and other Zhong Lingxi's classmates inside, and also made a tombstone and engraved their names.
On the third day, Li He couldn't dig anymore, and the remaining area of the vegetable garden was not enough to dig a big enough pit, so Li He could only pile all the zombies that poured in on the playground, and piled up flammable materials such as desks and bed sheets and bedding in the dormitory, poured cooking oil from the school cafeteria, and then set fire.
The fire burned for several days, burning with thick smoke and a pungent smell that made Li He and the others barely able to eat for several days. They used almost everything they could, but it wasn't as easy as in movies and television to burn corpses to ashes, leaving many large carbonized limbs that could never be burned again. But this is much better than letting these corpses rot, and after the fire cooled down, Li Hao and Zhong Lingxi, together with Li Xinrou and Yin Xiuna, threw these carbonized limbs outside the wall.
It made each of them stinch, and the bathroom at school was still functional, and there were toiletries left by the students, but no matter how they washed them, the smell seemed to linger.
Perhaps, that smell has soaked into their hearts.
No one thinks about the meaning of what they are doing, maybe in the next second, those zombies outside will break in, maybe the mutated creatures in the nearby farms will also find here, but before those things happen, the things that need to be done will still be done.
The good news is that Gao Yang, who had been in a coma for a few days with a high fever and had been in a coma, woke up.
