Chapter 21 Kill, no forgiveness
It's just, it's a hopeless hell to go into? Tang Ling's throat moved, why did her mother-in-law never talk about it?
It's just that the years are not without clues.
When it comes to living in a safe zone, my mother-in-law has never been noncommittal.
Regarding his participation in the reserve camp, his mother-in-law strongly objected, and in the end she did not express her position.
I remembered that in the end, my mother-in-law hesitated to let him hold his sister to participate in the so-called screening...
Mother-in-law should know something, right? She seems to have said that her father had watched Security Zone 17 grow from nothing.
But if he dies at this moment, it can only mean that the Purple Moon Warrior will eventually make a move.
But they... Will they really kill these almost unarmed settlers?
It seemed that the dependence, yearning, worship and the last remnants that had been built up over the years would not disappear, and Tang Ling could not believe this cruelty.
"If they break in, they're going to kill someone." The mother-in-law's voice sounded in Tang Ling's ears again.
And in the next second, Tang Ling put his sister on his shoulder, pulled up his mother-in-law and ran frantically towards the No. 17 safety zone, but it was slightly southerly.
Having lived here since childhood, Tang Ling is very familiar with the terrain here, with one side of the No. 17 safety zone leaning against a deep cliff, the other three sides are tall city walls, and the safety belt is a semi-ring around the No. 17 safety zone.
However, the width of the seat belt is not the same.
At the end of the southern city wall, the seat belt is the narrowest part, less than 500 meters wide, and it joins the mangrove outside the secondary seat belt.
The unique terrain allows many people in the settlement to set up sheds there as a 'transit station' for hunting in the forest, knowing that not all hunting can be completed in one day.
It takes too much time to go back and forth.
Tang Ling wanted to choose to rush towards Manglin from there.
First, as a 'staging point', it is exceptionally clean and free of dangerous beasts.
Second, even if there are corpses roaming, the dense shanty towns there can provide some shelter.
Even though it's late at night, even though the mutant beast has become dangerous since the purple moon rises...
"But as long as you don't go deep into the forest, there will be no beasts that are too ferocious. And the corpse... At least I can't climb trees. This was Tang Ling's only thought at the moment when he turned around and ran away.
The whole world became simpler after the direction was decided.
Soon, Tang Ling rushed under the city wall.
Because of the isolation just now, there were no corpses here at this time, which meant that Tang Ling had obtained relatively precious safe time.
Tang Ling's speed was very fast, but the city wall was very long, and the whole plan sounded so difficult, but he was afraid that he didn't even have the most difficult choice, only a dead end!
Survive, as long as my mother-in-law and sister can survive... This was Tang Ling's only remaining belief.
The violent running filled Tang Ling's ears with the sound of howling wind, and another thunder came, the sound was huge, as if it had shattered the entire sky.
Accompanied by thunder, Tang Ling heard a deep voice sound: "Ready!" β
Is it the voice of the red-cloaked man who disappeared, what is he going to prepare? Tang Ling was inexplicably frightened, and even in the midst of the madness, he couldn't help but turn back in the direction of chaos.
This turn of the year made Tang Ling find that there were more than a dozen figures following him, which made Tang Ling feel a little comforted, it seemed that there were still quick-witted people who chose another possibility of survival.
But this comfort didn't last long, and a neat sound made Tang Ling's face pale in an instant.
In the purple wall of people, there were bright white silver lights.
"Draw the knife..."Tang Ling's eyes narrowed, and only such a thought appeared in his heart so painful that he was numb.
"Woo woo woo .." The younger sister, who had been lying on Tang Ling's shoulder numbly, began to cry inexplicably.
Tang Ling hugged her sister tightly, and began to murmur in a low voice: "Don't, don't, really don't..."
But what can you want? What can be stopped? What a familiar standard saber, what an ironic standard saber!
"Kill!" A cold word rolled out of his throat without any hesitation, without any emotion.
The dazzling, neat silver light began to wave in an instant, with a cruel beauty, like a glimmer of hope across the night, and flew quickly towards the crowd. But it brought up a bloody color...
Is it blood? Tang Ling's eyes ached, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Blinding lightning, pouring rain, crazy crowds, bloodthirsty corpses, and the ruthless 'purple wall', accompanied by the roaring thunder, were all frozen in this second.
"How so...?" Who is crying in this crazy picture? Who gave the final question?
In the next second, countless human heads flew up, spurting blood broke the silence, and the beautiful silver light was retracted in a dashing manner.
"Retreat, or you will be killed!" The voice was still so cold, but it made Tang Ling's heart ache, his stomach began to twitch inexplicably, and the blood in his whole body surged, and began to converge towards his chest.
Is it, that chest mysterious, going to start eating itself?
Tang Ling couldn't think, just an inexplicable thought began to roll in his head.
What kind of era is this? I really want to... If you could... I want to break it alive, and only when it is broken, can I start again.
This thought made Tang Ling's hands tremble violently, and in the confusion, he remembered to cover his sister's eyes.
In fact, my sister has seen too much cruelty tonight, but this is the most cruel scene, he doesn't want his sister to watch it anymore, he hopes that there will be some beauty left in his sister's heart.
However, her sister soon stopped crying, but grabbed Tang Ling's hand that wanted to cover her eyes.
What happened? Tang Ling turned his head in pain, and found that his sister had become the same numbness as before, but her big eyes were becoming more and more hollow, like a dark deep pool.
Tang Ling was inexplicably frightened.
"Brother, I just saw Elmerβ" The sister's voice was very calm, with an unreal ethereal.
Elmer? Tang Ling's heart was stung, it was his sister's playmate, a boy who was only 7 years old.
He has a strong dad, and it seems possible to escape, but...
"Brother, I also saw Sister Li... Also there. β
"Brother, Samuel was also killed.."
...
..
Familiar faces passed in front of Tang Ling's eyes, there were so many familiar people and so many memories in the dirty and chaotic garbage dump-like settlement.
Tang Ling's whole body was unusually cold, and he felt that a whirlpool had formed in his chest, and the blood that had gathered was constantly surging towards that whirlpool.
I'm going to die too, right? Until then, keep your mother-in-law and sister safe.
Tang Ling didn't want to listen to it anymore, but the next moment his sister's voice still sounded in his ears.
"Brother, I saw..."
"Uncle Zhang..."
Uncle Zhang!!
"Hmm.." Tang Ling finally began to cry, after telling Uncle Zhang to run away, that last nod was really goodbye!
