Chapter 10: The Edge of Desperation
Lin Xiao experienced despair for the first time in eighteen years.
This emotion is drowning itself little by little like a silent rising tide, and there is nothing he can do but watch the tide pour over his head and drown himself.
But surprisingly, he no longer felt fear, and even had a sense of relief.
"You know a lot," Lin Xiao lay on the ground and turned his head to look at Wu Zong: "Why is it more painful to die." ”
"Crossbow," Wu Zong collapsed on the ground like a dead fish and didn't even have the strength to move: "It's not painful at all." ”
"I'm going to call," Qiqi wiped a handful of tears, stood up and walked away.
Wu Zong didn't call her, but there was no hope in his heart.
What are you kidding, Jinling is so far away from Jiyu, Du Jiangyun can't catch up with them when he comes on a rocket.
The reason why he didn't call Qiqi was that he knew that it was useless to call, Qiqi seemed to be obedient to himself, but in fact he was stubborn. She is the kind of person who has to try to see if she can collapse even though she is already looking at the south wall, and Wu Zong just likes her stubbornness.
"Hit the south wall?" Lin Xiao also knew Qiqi's temperament, and joked: "Make a bet." ”
"What are you betting on," Wu Zong grinned and exchanged words with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes: "If I win, you will kill everyone, and if you win, I will do it." ”
"You're a coward. Wu Zong glanced at him, knowing that Lin Xiao didn't have the courage to end the lives of his friends.
"This is not cowardice, this is the tenderness of an iron man, you know a hammer. Lin Xiao scolded, glanced at Qiqi who was squatting in the corner with his mobile phone, and urged: "Hurry up, bet or not." ”
"Bet!" Wu Zong thought for a while: "I guess she can call someone." ”
Before Wu Zong finished speaking, Lin Xiao immediately picked up: "This is what you said, don't regret it, then I bet she can't call someone." ”
It may be that Lin Xiao's panicked look is a little funny, or it may be self-deprecating, Wu Zong laughed weakly.
He never thought that he who had been reborn would not go as far as his previous life, and he would be surrounded by a tide of corpses as soon as he strengthened.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly raised his head: "Did you hear anything?" ”
"Huh?" Wu Zong coughed twice, stopped laughing, and listened carefully, his ears were full of the sound of corpses.
But in the howl of the sea of corpses, with his enhanced senses, he also heard a subtle humming sound from the air.
"What is it?" Wu Zong closed his eyes and carefully identified the source of the sound.
It moved very quickly, and as the voice got closer and closer, Wu Zong felt that it was extremely familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while, he forced himself to turn over and look at the source of the sound.
The sound came from behind the lab building across from them, which was just two stories higher than the dormitory, just blocking their view.
Wu Zong carefully identified it for another two seconds, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"I seem to know what it is," In an instant, Wu Zong's eyes seemed to be ignited, and the flame of hope rekindled.
Lin Xiao also heard what kind of mechanical sound it was.
"Count you as a winner," Lin Xiao muttered.
As soon as the words fell, behind the tall science and technology building, a light helicopter slowly rose from behind the science and technology building with a huge roar, and dense snowflakes formed a faint gray-white vortex around the propeller!
The buzzing sound they heard was the same noise from the high-speed spinning propellers.
It's the most pleasant noise in the world.
The tense nerves relaxed in an instant, Wu Zong felt the stars in front of him, and he loudly instructed Lin Xiao beside him: "Stand up and raise your hands high, and then slowly kneel on the ground with your head in your hands." ”
After that, it was dark in front of me, and finally I couldn't support it and fainted.
Qi Qi saw Wu Zong stuck on the ground and hurriedly ran over.
The helicopter also flew over their heads and circled over them almost in the blink of an eye.
With far beyond ordinary eyesight, Lin Xiao clearly saw that the moment he saw Qi Qi running over, the light machine guns on the flanks of the helicopter were set up, and the muzzles were aimed at them.
"Don't run away!" Lin Xiao hurriedly stopped Qiqi.
He slowly raised his hands and took a few steps back, ensuring that the people on the plane could confirm that he was not a threat, and then slowly knelt on the ground with his head in his hands as Wu Zong had instructed.
Qiqi watched Lin Xiao kneel on the ground like a captured prisoner, and instantly understood why he did this - once the military found out that they had become zombies, or had the slightest act of zombieization, they would definitely not hesitate to beat them into a sieve with a machine gun.
Thinking of this, Qi Qi was also afraid, and knelt down like Lin Xiao.
After a while, two halves descended from the plane, and then two heavily armed soldiers, one tall and one short, descended at a high speed.
The tall soldier walked quickly in front of Lin Xiao, pulled the bolt and pressed the muzzle of the black hole against his head: "Say something." ”
"My name is Lin Xiao, a student of Jiyu City No. 2 Senior High School!" The noise of the helicopter was too loud, and Lin Xiao had to shout loudly.
The tall soldier stepped forward and tested the temperature of Lin Xiao's head with his hands, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he cut his hands behind his back and buckled the shackles of solid iron with the thickness of his little thumb.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiao instinctively wanted to dodge.
"Please cooperate with this special period. "The tall soldier didn't say half a word of nonsense, and his tone was unquestionable.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, looked at the muzzle of the black hole and nodded resignedly.
With a click, the shackles were locked, and the tall soldier took out a high-density plastic mask from his waist and buckled it to Lin Xiao's mouth.
This made Lin Xiao feel like a military dog, but he was helpless.
After doing everything, at Lin Xiao's signal, the tall soldier tied the unconscious Wu Zong and the tiger to a porcelain reality and hung them on the halyard like hanging goods.
On the other side, the short soldier was also tortured.
"Hello Miss, I'm Sun Li, the leader of the Special Operations Team of the North Central District," the short man saluted and said to Qiqi, and it was obvious that he was very polite to her: "I have to do this for the sake of safety, please understand." ”
In addition to surprise, Qiqi was more surprised.
Because she knew in her heart that in fact, the phone call didn't go through at all, and even she didn't have the mentality of calling for help just now, she went to that corner mainly to do another thing.
So when the helicopter flew over, Qiqi couldn't help but wonder how their group of ordinary students could let the military send a helicopter to the rescue.
But when this short soldier talked to him, looking at this person's attitude, Qiqi thought about it for a while, and suddenly his heart suddenly changed.
This person must have known that he was Du Jiangyun's daughter, so he used a helicopter to rescue him.
'This person,' Qiqi's face didn't change, and he secretly shook his head in his heart, "Now I still want to ask for merit and reward."
Although she was tortured, unlike Lin Xiao and them, Qiqi didn't wear a mask, she shook her head and signaled that it was okay: "Let's go, none of us have been infected, but one of them is seriously injured." ”
With the roar of the helicopter, the plane took the group to the base of operations.
In any case, it was finally out of danger for the time being.
Qiqi watched the tide of corpses surging under the plane farther and farther away, breathed a sigh of relief, and imperceptibly patted the thing in his pocket with a hand behind his back.
