The soldier ducked in a panic with the child in his arms, and the last time, they were cornered by a crowd of seven or eight infected people.

"Uncle, woo woo woo ......" An Zixuan obediently shrunk in front of the soldier's chest and did not move, and even the cry of fear was held back by himself.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it'll be fine." The soldier looked at the approaching infected, then at the child in his arms, he swallowed his saliva, and finally made a decision.

He untied the child from his chest, then suddenly tiptoed him up to a low wall. "You just stay up there and don't move, you know, don't be afraid, it'll be fine."

"Uncle!"

The soldier looked at the infected man who was rushing towards him, and desperately brandished the halberd in his hand to resist the attack. When he ran out of strength and was finally unable to return to the sky, he looked at An Zixuan, who was crying, and smiled. "If I had a child, he'd probably be as old as you by now." With that, he closed his eyes and waited for the embrace of death with relief.

The expected pain did not come as expected, and the soldier opened his eyes to see the infected people stop abruptly in front of him. For a moment, as if the dividing line had been pressed on what time had been paused, the time circulating among the infected people stopped. They maintained the same motions as they had attacked or chased, leaving the confused people behind.

"What's going on?!" Zhao Mingsi stood up suddenly, the adjutant beside him was busy saying something on the communicator, and the scene was chaotic for a while, even worse than when he faced the attack of an infected person himself.

"The research team has confirmed that all indicators are normal, and it stands to reason that there will be no problems."

"You call this 'no problem'?" Zhao Mingsi turned his head and looked at the adjutant with a gloomy gaze. "What are you doing here? Find out the source for me! ”

The adjutant hurriedly checked with the research team and ran away. And in the next second, the situation changed dramatically.

Countless infected people reactivated their limbs and turned a few times as if to confirm their target. Then, with the first step taken by the infected, for a while, everyone rushed towards Zhao Mingsi who was standing on the high platform!

"This ...... What's going on, quick, protect Mr. Zhao! ”

Zhao Mingsi panicked for a few seconds, and when an infected person roared and rushed to the high platform, the battle instinct caused the metal wings behind him to stop and cut off the body of the infected person one step ahead of his brain thinking. The blow was like a signal of something, and as the blood sprayed on the edge of the cracked earth, the densely packed infected people rushed through the blood mist and pounced on him. Zhao Mingsi was like a giant elephant surrounded by an ant colony, the absolute power gap allowed him to easily cut off any infected person, but in the face of the black oppressive crowd that had no pain and only knew how to rush like a suicide, even he was weak.

"How can this be ......"

"Don't worry about it so much, who knows how long their temporary convulsions will last." Ling You simply cleaned up, "Chuanliu is not within the scope of the commission, we have to withdraw quickly...... Top dog? ”

I saw that Qin Jiuyuan was clasping Qiu Xuan's shoulders with a calm face so as not to let her really lose her strength and fall down, while the person who had just drunk a whole bottle of energy liquid looked even weaker. Her face was terrifyingly pale, and two newly grown strands of hair could even be faintly seen on her sideburns, as if she had passed ten years of winter in the blink of an eye.

"Didn't she drink the energy liquid, this ...... Energy Liquid Expired? ”

However, no one paid attention to Ender's quips, and the old man pushed away the crowd of onlookers and stepped forward, squatting down and taking out a small gadget shaped like a stethoscope from his backpack and stabbing it on Qiu Xuan's side neck. After staring at his eyebrows for a while, the old man took off the device, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

"I've never been in this situation before." "It's strange that she doesn't have internal or external injuries or new wounds from the fight, but her mental and physical strength is being consumed rapidly," he said. It's like ...... It was as if something was sucking her life force. ”

Qin Jiuyuan locked his brows and was silent for a long time, and he suddenly grabbed Qiu Xuan's wrist that was still twitching unnaturally on the ground.

"Whatever you're doing, stop." He leaned in and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear, "There's nothing worth your life for." ”

“…… No. Qiu Xuan leaned on him and replied in an inaudible weak voice, "In this world, there are always things that are more important than life. ”

She gently pushed Qin Jiuyuan away, and finally said, "I have measure", and then she swayed her body and stood up despite the obstruction of Shuying and the old man, pulling the handrail on the side and stumbling towards the frightened black team.

She walked straight up to the unmarried woman she had met in the aisle, and spoke in a slow voice, almost word by word:

"Didn't you ask me, 'Do you know the collapse of faith?'" You say, when you learn that your savior has turned his back on you and the truth you once believed in has collapsed, what will happen to those who have collapsed in faith? ”

Qiu Xuan slowly raised his fingers with spasmodic muscles, pointing at the infected people who were powerless in the face of Zhao Mingsi's thunderous methods, but still rushed forward without hesitation.

"Among those 'monsters', there are your relatives, your old friends, and your beloved."

"Some of them died in accidents, some died of premeditated murder, some died of crowd fighting, but many more died of the so-called 'faith' in their hearts. They were killed, mutilated, converted, experimented on, and eventually died with hatred by the Faith'. ”

"But it's not that that's really scary, it's that at that moment, your faith collapses, it's gone, it's over. All the perceptions and ways of thinking that you have established have been completely overturned, and you no longer have faith, and you do not know who to believe in the future. ”

"What I want to say is that if you can't find a spiritual sustenance in the future, it is better to believe in yourselves. Faith, the black population. ”

Qiu Xuan raised her head, and in front of her, there stood a black person who was surprised or contemplative, and behind her, there was another way of being derived from a black person.

"Black people are never born slaves." "No one is qualified to decide your own destiny for you, and you still have the right to make choices," she said weakly and calmly. Do you choose to die for the truth and freedom, or do you live your life in hiding? It's time to make your choice. ”

“……”

A minute passed, and another few minutes. Qiu Xuan stood alone beside the armrest facing the entire black team, and after a while, she pursed her lips. "Well, then I respect your choice. From now on, I wish you all a happy end and a bright future. ”

She turned away, staggering to hold on to the shadow that was worrying about herself. "I'm fine," she said, "let's go." ”

"Wait!" In the crowd, a deep male voice suddenly sounded.

"I'm willing to follow you." The man said, "Until we reach the other side of freedom, until we return to the arms of death, until we die, we will never die." ”
