"I've got an idea." Ding Xiu had already thought about the route to leave just now, "Follow me." ”

The mezzanine of the bridge deck is more than 30 meters high from the deep pit under the bridge, and there are several zombies that fell last night. The route Ding Xiu chose was on the other side of the bridge, where the building had collapsed and the ground was high in ruins.

Ding Xiu's plan was to jump over the ruins, then bypass the pit under the bridge and get out of here.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with this height." Ding Xiu came to the side of the mezzanine of the bridge deck and said to Chen Jianing: "I'll jump down first, and then you jump again." Don't be afraid, I'll catch you down there. ”

"I'm not afraid." Chen Jianing shook her head.

She said this, but when it was time to jump, she couldn't help but feel a little timid.

The height of three or five meters is nothing to Ding Xiu, not to mention that there is still sand below. But Chen Jianing is different, she has never jumped from such a high place.

"Come on, I'll catch you." Seeing that Chen Jianing was a little hesitant, Ding Xiu stood at the bottom to cheer her up.

"Be sure to catch me." The girl thought to herself, closed her eyes, and jumped down.

She was caught by Ding Xiu, but the momentum of jumping down brought Ding Xiu to the ground.

Chen Jianing rode on him in a very ambiguous posture, and the two of them came to their senses, and their faces turned red.

"Ahem...... cough" Ding Xiu's expression was a little embarrassed, and Chen Jianing lowered his head after standing up from the ground and didn't dare to look at him.

"Let's go." Ding Xiu whispered.

"Hmm." Chen Jianing's voice in response was also as thin as a mosquito fly.

Nearby are collapsed houses and some infrastructure, and the two men walked among the rubble walls, and in some places still needed to climb.

The zombies were wandering at the bottom of the pit, Ding Xiu and Chen Jianing were walking in the ruins outside the pit, and Ding Xiu walked in front of Chen Jianing and helped her open the way.

There was no road between the ruins and broken walls, so Ding Xiu looked for a convenient place to climb and walk, in order to facilitate Chen Jianing. When encountering places that are difficult to walk, he will also remind Chen Jianing in advance, so that she can pay attention to the bare and leaky steel bars and loose stones under her feet.

The physical strength required to climb was no less than when running, and after a while, Ding Xiu found that Chen Jianing was already out of breath.

"Let's take a break." He offered to bring it up.

"Okay." Chen Jianing nodded, but looked a little anxious.

"Ding Xiu." She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Ding Xiu raised his head and met the girl's eyes.

"I'm afraid I'm going to drag you down and keep you out of this desert."

Chen Jianing's words made Ding Xiu stunned for a moment, he didn't respond, just smiled.

"You see, in order to take care of my physical strength, you have to stop and go, although I have never been to the desert before, but the knowledge in the books tells me that this is a taboo to survive in the desert."

"Did the book tell you that maintaining good physical strength is the key to surviving in a dangerous environment?"

Chen Jianing shook her head.

"I trust experience more than book knowledge." Ding Xiu said.

He put away his smile and solemnly promised Chen Jianing, "No matter what the road ahead, I will not give up on you." ”

Ding Xiu's original intention was that he would definitely do his best to take the girl to a safe place. But hearing these words in Chen Jianing's ears made her think of a deeper meaning.

"I'll try on my own to try to drag you down as little as possible." The girl's heart warmed. She is very good and strong, and although Ding Xiu's promise makes her happy, her self-esteem will not allow herself to be a burden.

"What's not a drag on that. When I was young, I was still Uncle Rong's oil bottle. ”

"Is Uncle Rong your relative? Ding Xiu, can you tell us the story of when you were a child? The two sat here to rest, and Chen Jianing listened to Ding Xiu mention that he was a child, and suddenly had a strong interest in his heart.

"I'm an orphan, and when Uncle Rong picked me up, I was only so old." Ding Xiu gestured with his hand, "It was Uncle Rong who raised me, and later I followed him as a soldier in the camp." ”

"Uncle Rong must be a good person." Chen Jianing said.

"yes, it's a pity for the good guys...... None of them live long. When Ding Xiu said this, he suddenly lowered his head, looking a little lonely.

"I'm sorry." Chen Jianing looked at Ding Xiu's appearance and was inexplicably a little distressed, and she began to regret her proposal just now.

If the story of her childhood would make Ding Xiu sad, then she would rather not listen to it.

"Nothing." Ding Xiu shook his head and drove away the lost feelings, "Patrolling in the desert, life and death are normal things, like my squad, I am the only one left now." ”

"If I hadn't met you, I really didn't know that the border guards were so hard." Chen Jianing's mood suddenly became a little heavy, her father and grandfather were both high-ranking members of the military, and she had also been to the military camp near the capital, but the situation described by Ding Xiu was very different from her perception of the army.

Ding Xiu felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so he picked a few interesting things and talked about them, until he made the girl laugh, and his heart began to become steady.

"Would you like to go somewhere better if you had the chance?" Chen Jianing quietly listened to Ding Xiu talk about the things in the camp, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

"I didn't want to, but now I want to go out and see." The reason why Ding Xiu wanted to see the outside world was because of his abilities, and after Chen Jiansen enlightened him, he thought a lot about it himself.

However, Ding Xiu didn't tell Chen Jianing that he had mastered an ability, not because he couldn't believe it, but because it was unnecessary.

"I see." Chen Jianing nodded, kept this matter in mind, and implemented it when he had the opportunity.

"Let's keep going." Resting almost, Chen Jianing said.

"Let's go." Ding Xiu patted his ass and stood up.

Chen Jianing's hand supported the boulder next to him, and when he was about to stand up, his body suddenly crooked. Her body fell outward along with the boulder, and if it hadn't been for Ding Xiu's quick hand to grab her, she would have tumbled with the boulder and fell into the pit below.

It turned out that this boulder was hanging on the outside, and neither Ding Xiu nor Chen Jianing noticed that it was actually not solid. When an external force is exerted on it, the original equilibrium is broken.

The stones tumbled down, bringing down more bricks and stones along the way. The bottom of the pit rang out for a while, and the zombies below before looked sideways, and some immediately found the two people outside the pit.

"Oops!" Ding Xiu was unexpectedly surprised by this situation, and he had to drag Chen Jianing to continue to escape into the ruins.

The boulder that fell just now not only startled the zombies at the bottom of the pit, but on the overpass, the zombies who stayed outside the research institute last night also rushed to this side.

They jumped off the bridge, some fell on the sand, some fell to the bottom of the pit. They don't feel pain, and as long as they don't break their hands or feet, they will immediately get up and continue running towards their goal.

"Give it to me." Ding Xiu took the lead in climbing, and where the height difference was large, he would reach out and pull Chen Jianing. The two of them ducked into the depths of the ruins, and the monsters behind them flooded like a tide.

Running on flat ground, people and such zombies are roughly as fast, or even slightly better. But in the midst of the ruins, the environment affects people far more than they do.

Ding Xiu and Chen Jianing dodged the bare steel bars and edges and corners on the masonry along the way, and Chen Jianing also slowed down during the climb.

The zombies quickly caught up, and Ding Xiu let Chen Jianing go to the front, and he covered her behind him.

A zombie chased in front of him was knocked to the ground by a steel bar that Ding Xiu pulled out of a crack in the stone, its face sunken in, and its eyes almost popped out.

But it didn't care, and after falling to the ground, it struggled to crawl towards Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu held up the steel bar and was about to continue the attack, but unexpectedly saw another companion appear behind it.

Then two, three, four......

The black oppressive figure spread over the ruins, and Ding Xiu gave up his plan to kill the zombie, turned around and continued to run towards the depths of the ruins.

"Ho! Ho! The roar came from all directions, putting tremendous pressure on the two fleeing men, and danger followed them, but they didn't know where to live.

Chen Jianing screamed, and the figure suddenly sank into the ground in front of her, the place where she just landed was empty, and when she stepped on it, the weathered brittle stone slab instantly cracked into several pieces.

The pit was more than a meter deep, and Ding Xiu followed and jumped in.

"Are you alright?" He lifted the girl to her feet, who had fallen to the ground.

The girl's clothes were full of scratch marks, but fortunately, they didn't hurt her muscles and bones. The moment she fell, her brain went blank, and she didn't come back to her senses until Ding Xiu helped her up.

"I'm fine, let's go." Chen Jianing shook his head, and saw that a zombie had already appeared at the entrance of the cave behind Ding Xiu.

She picked up the flashlight that had fallen on the ground and ran to the cave with Ding Xiu.

The cave is the internal space of a certain building, and when the building collapsed, the bottom was buried, and Chen Jianing stepped on the air and fell in. The two of them couldn't get back outside now, because the hole behind them was already filled with zombies to squeeze in.

The cave is not very large, but it is very deep. The inside looks like a hallway, but the left and right walls are wider than normal hallways. The floor was littered with discarded garbage, and there were dangling wires on the walls as the lights swept by.

The footsteps behind him were approaching again, the light of the flashlight was flickering in the passage, and Ding Xiu pulled Chen Jianing to speed up his running speed and run towards the unknown depths.

Suddenly the light hit a wall while running.

"No way!"

The two ran to the end of the passage.

Faced with this result, Ding Xiu and Chen Jianing looked at each other, Chen Jianing shone the flashlight behind him, and the lights were crowded.

"Ding Xiu, will we die?" Chen Jianing's voice was full of crying, she had never been so scared when she was in a desperate situation before, but at this moment, her heart was suddenly full of fear.

Originally, she was ready to die, but Ding Xiu rescued her from the research institute, and she just had the hope of living, and now she was facing a desperate situation again.

Chen Jianing's heart has become fragile, and she no longer has the same determination as when she first faced death.
