Volume 1: The Eve of the End Chapter 1 First Visit to Huanzhou
The thick haze has turned the sky around the state into an eerie dim yellow, and on the dark and dirty ground, there are buildings that have long lost their color. Between the buildings, there are crisscrossing asphalt roads, some of which are empty, some of which are crowded. On one of the main roads, more than 20 cars were crowded together, some only iron frames remained, and a few wisps of black smoke with a choking smell drifted from time to time.
The wind from Shuofang pushed the black smoke and pressed it against the reddish façade of the nearby residential building, which was not too wide and paved with civilized stones. Due to the long-term lack of cleaning, the sidewalk is covered with green and gold single leaves, like a soft carpet, and the carpet is also inlaid with some unusual patterns, such as dark blue handbags, black backpacks, colorful umbrellas, and white bones.
"Huh", "Huh", "Huh", "Huh", "Huh", a pair of shiny big leather shoes stepped on the exquisite carpet without knowing how to step on it, bringing up a lot of single leaves, and the beauty of the carpet was inevitably destroyed, and the owner of the big leather shoes stumbled and ran, and from time to time looked back behind him. And every time I looked at it, the word "Chuan" on his thick forehead became a little deeper.
The big leather shoes turned back again, but this time he was reckless, and at the moment he turned around, his left foot kicked on a bone, and the intricate bones immediately tripped him to the ground, and the head of the big leather shoes slammed into an ink-colored women's handbag, and his heavy glasses fell off with it.
"Roar" "Roar"
There were a few strange screams from behind the big leather shoes, and when the big leather shoes heard it, the corners of the forehead immediately felt a coldness, and when I reached out and touched it, the originally dry fingers immediately became wet. The big leather shoes struggled to get up, grabbed the handle of the bag with both hands, spun around in a circle, and threw the bag out.
A charred bus barricaded the pavement, its tail embedded in a pile of iron shelves that stretched to the vegetated divider in the middle of the road. The big leather shoes hurriedly stopped, and with all the strength of his body, he tore his clumsy body in place and spun it ninety degrees, and then ran like a duck towards the vegetation divider.
The vegetation divider is about 30 centimeters high, and there are magnolia trees planted every five meters in the middle, and between the two magnolia trees, a green one-man high barbed wire fence is pulled, which is not strong, but it does prevent a large number of people from crossing the road.
The big leather shoes support the edge of the divider with both hands, and push the body up, but the road of the divider is not easy to walk, step on it with a deep foot and a shallow foot, one hand grabs the big leather shoes from behind, the flesh of this hand is different from the big leather shoes, it is like a puddle of water, it can give people a feeling of melting, but when you want to break free, it suddenly turns into an iron tong, no matter how hard you try, it is not moving.
The mouth of the big leather shoe was open enough to fit a standard football, and his left chest also bulged a large lump, which was the result of the heart constantly hitting the chest cavity, and in a hurry, the big leather shoe turned around, raised his fat left leg and was about to kick back, but when he looked behind him, his hard-won courage disappeared! The eyes in his sockets slid upwards little by little, and finally disappeared into their sockets, replaced by a lifeless white.
The big leather shoe fell, stunned, and the creature that had stunned him was lying on top of him, feasting on large chunks, and in a moment it raised its head, and the whole face was soaked red with blood, and several pieces of flesh the size of a fingernail were slowly sliding down its forehead, dragging a long, red trail of blood on its face, and under the bloodstain was its black hole-like eyes full of blood nematodes.
It let out a low growl from deep in its throat, its flexed leg muscles tensing little by little, then lunged forward and quickly disappeared at the end of the asphalt road, its keen sense of smell telling it that there was new prey nearby.
Sure enough, a deafening roar was soon heard from the direction where the infected person disappeared, which was louder and more pitched than what was common in the city, because it was more powerful, which was the roar of the aircraft's engine.
Slowly, a helicopter appeared on the skyline of Huanzhou, flying so low that it seemed that it could be "plucked" off by standing on its heels. It emerged as a result of a debate that lasted for several days about a group of elders in gorgeous costumes, and the main point of contention was the city called Huanzhou, which was completely destroyed by an unknown disease, and the attitude of the people was divided into two factions, one in favor of rescue, and the other in favor of immediate destruction. The two factions do not give in to each other, and it is difficult for the decider to make a decision for a while, and since there is no choice, there is no choice but to compromise - to find out the situation first, and then make the next choice.
A total of four helicopters flew to Huanzhou that day, and they were to drop off their investigation teams in the east, west, south, and north directions of Huanzhou, and this one was to the southern part of the city and to the urban-rural junction.
The roar of the helicopter was like a bucket of sesame oil poured on the oil pot, and the originally quiet street suddenly "snapped" and boiled, and in the houses on both sides, under the wreckage of the car that still emitted black smoke, people suddenly poured out, and these people all raised their heads in unison, and immediately rushed towards the direction of the helicopter with their teeth and claws as if they had received a unified instruction.
"We managed to get their attention." On the helicopter, the machine gunner, who had been observing the street situation, screamed uneasily, and at the same time subconsciously reached out to wipe the corner of his forehead, and then held the handle of the gun with more force - although these "people" did not pose any real threat to the helicopter.
The pilot frowned and pulled the plane up slightly, while increasing the power of the engines, and although everyone on the helicopter had no idea about the creatures below, they invariably chose to put the image of the "zombies" in the movie on the "people" below.
"Roar", "roar" The roar on the street, wave after wave, the weak roar of the engine naturally could not stop the "attack" of the roar, and they fled in defeat.
As the roar receded, nervousness, uneasiness, and even fear slowly rose to the hearts of everyone on the helicopter, and even if they didn't look outside the cabin, they could guess the situation outside in their hearts - although the "people" who greeted them could not be described as thousands of empty alleys, they were by no means easy to deal with with with the weapons in their hands. Otherwise, the command would not have to go to great lengths to demand that no man's land be found in a large enough area before the investigation team could be put down.
"Five minutes to prepare." In the cockpit of the helicopter, the co-pilot picked up the microphone and reminded him that his words were shouted due to the noisy environment.
As he spoke, the cabin began to get busy, and the members of the investigation team checked their equipment one last time to avoid any further problems after landing. The city outside the cabin also became clearer as the altitude decreased, and by this time the roar had died down, and the imaginary horror scene had not appeared.
At first glance, the streets seem to be quiet again—except that the asphalt roads are decorated with large and small red and black patches to become "Dalmatians"; The walls and glass of the buildings on both sides of the road were glued with layers of blood stains; The golden-green carpet occasionally bears the body of an ominous black cloud. In a trance, everyone actually thought that the hairy roar just now was just an illusion.
Gradually, the buildings in front of them began to recede, and an empty field appeared in front of everyone, this land looked barren for a long time, the weeds on the surface were estimated to be waist-high, the wasteland was nearly 1,000 square meters, the south side was a larger wasteland with a lot of sand and gravel and other construction waste, the east side was a monorail, the west side was a three- or two-story house, and the north side was a continuous hill.
The helicopter hovered in the air for a long time before it slowly descended, the weeds on the ground were torn backwards by the strong wind brought up by the propellers, forming a radial circle, the fuselage trembled, and several pairs of military boots stepped on the grass that almost fell sideways, and then ran away like wind under their feet. The helicopter in the center of the circle slowly rises and shrinks into a black dot.
Several men in black moved closer to the center of the circle until there was only a five-meter distance between them.
Wei Yilin raised his right hand and smoothed the line of the earphone, moistened his throat and said, "Check the communication." Number 1 calls number 2. ”
"Received on the 2nd. Number 2 calls number 3. "No. 2 Qin Tianwu is the most burly of the five, and in addition to the assault rifle, he also carries a shotgun on his back.
"Number 3 received, number 3 called number 4." No. 3 Qiao Wu is the shortest of the five, but he has strong muscles that don't match his stature.
"Received on the 4th, called on the 4th on the 5th." No. 4 Wang Mingjun is almost the same size as No. 5 Zhong Wenfeng, both of them are well-proportioned and medium-sized.
"Received on the 5th, called on the 5th on the 6th."
"Received on the 6th, called on the 6th." No. 6 Bai Yunlian is the only opposite sex in the team, and the others don't have to look for characteristics from her. But if you really want to look for features other than gender, there are also, she carries a silver box with a red cross on the surface.
"Received on the 1st. Pair the table. 8:53 a.m. ”
"Eighty-fifty-three o'clock."
"Eighty-fifty-three o'clock."
……
"Roar" Before Wei Yilin could say anything more, a low roar came into everyone's ears. And the hearts of the people were raised to their throats. Wei Yilin turned his head with a "brush", and the sound came from the south side of the wasteland, but the huge pile of construction waste completely blocked his vision.
"Roar"
There was another low roar, and the voice of this roar seemed to be slightly different from the previous one. The two roars are like the impermanence of black and white asking for life, if it were someone else, I am afraid that my legs would have fallen to the ground as weak as big leather shoes. The grass on the south side began to shake, not because of the wind, because it swayed irregularly, and a strong smell of blood began to permeate the grass......
