Chapter 54: A Sudden Tide of Corpses
The grain was visibly reduced to the naked eye, and everyone looked at Mo Qingting with a hostile eye, as if they wanted to find the 'hidden' grain from her. And Mo Qingting seemed to be used to it, so she silently watched them pull the grain, and didn't say a word, just the unnaturally clenched hand, betraying the anger in her heart. Zeng Tianqi clipped his hands beside him, looked at these people, and watched coldly.
"Qingting, come over here." The man surnamed Ding stepped aside and beckoned to Mo Qingting.
Mo Qingting hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. Then Zeng Tianqi saw what the man surnamed Ding was talking to Mo Qingting, and Mo Qingting bit her lip and frowned, just listening quietly on the side, without saying a word. For a long time, the man surnamed Ding seemed to be enraged. Clenched his fist and put it down again, several times in a row. In the end, there was no action.
He slowly returned to the crowd and loaded his own half bag of rice. Looking at the dispersed crowd and the little bit of rice that remained. He knew in his heart how quickly the thousand-person community was counting on the granary of this air-raid shelter, but he had never said a word for Mo Qingting. When the man surnamed Ding turned around and walked out, he passed by Mo Qingting, who was holding his arms, whispered a few words in her ear, looked at Zeng Tianqi again, and left the bomb shelter with a chuckle...
Waiting for the personnel to disperse, several people with guns also went over to fill their own half a bag of rice, and said hello to Mo Qingting, Mo Qingting turned around and closed the door of the warehouse again.
The whole process, Zeng Tianqi looked extremely depressed, as the top agent of the Eastern Kingdom, his lips were certain. He "saw" almost everything that the man surnamed Ding and Mo Qingting said. But he didn't do anything, because he didn't know Mo Qingting, and he didn't know what kind of past there was between the two of them.
After Mo Qingting finished all this, she said to Zeng Tianqi: "They will come to pick up food once a week, which is an agreement made by everyone in this community. The air-raid shelter on the west side is said to have been empty yesterday and we will not be able to last next week. Mo Qingting smiled bitterly,
"Hehe, Brother Zeng, in order to avoid misunderstandings, I will go out every time to find food by myself, collect wild vegetables outside, and barely be able to feed myself. In the past half a month, the only food I have touched is the bowl of porridge you drank. ”
"What did the guy surnamed Ding tell you? I see you're having a hard time. Zeng Tianqi asked.
"He?? Scold... Mo Qingting's head tilted to the side.
"He was my sister's neighbor, one of the few male family members in the family home, and a cousin of my brother's secretary. I used to be idle at home, but my brother's secretary was filial, and he couldn't stand the repeated requests of the old lady at home, so he let him come here to make a mess. Nothing but a flim flam ... Mo Qingting seemed reluctant to mention it.
"He coaxed a group of women around, often helped them move things, and secretly went out to help them get groceries in the supermarket during the dangerous months... Some time ago, he saw that the food was almost gone, so he secretly sent me a few large bags of snacks, wanting to secretly let me put a batch of food for them to take away. Mo Qingting and Zeng Tianqi walked to the small room used as a kitchen, Zeng Tianqi helped pick wild vegetables, these wild vegetables he knew, as a gathering place for wild survival, Yunyin people had already cooked many edible plants in their chests, but he didn't expect that this Mo Qingting, guarding the granary, could actually have the days of picking wild vegetables.
"And then? Why didn't you say yes? Zeng Tianqi asked while picking vegetables.
"Promise what?? Become one of his many unclear women? Help him steal everyone's food?? Mo Qingting said slowly. In order to survive for himself, he went to steal the grain, so if the stolen food is eaten up, what should he do if he Ding Laosi wants to live? ”
Zeng Tianqi listened silently, of course he knew what Ding Laosi said to Mo Qingting. He asked Mo Qingting: "Miss Qingting, if the food here is eaten up, what are your plans?" ”
"What else can I do? It's already decaying. The army has already lured most of the monsters away, and these days, there are no new monsters appearing. But these people were so frightened that they did not dare to step out of the wall. Just calculate the food here, calculate the time, and then pick up the new food. The password to the warehouse was given to me by my brother, and he didn't tell me what to do. Mo Qingting put the vegetables that Zeng Tian had picked into the water and added a little salt. Just boiling it on the alcohol stove, looking at the stove and starting to be in a daze.
"I'm thinking, since you've already walked out of the family area and saved me outside. Actually, you can leave, right? Why not leave? Zeng Tianqi asked.
"Leave, where can you go if you leave? There are monsters everywhere out there, and I can only protect myself. Mo Qingting turned around and wanted Zeng Tianqi to spread out her hand, Zeng Tianqi looked at it, the air quickly condensed into a thin ice pick in her hand, and the strange thing was that the temperature rose sharply, and the flames of the alcohol lamp seemed to beat brightly a few times under this influence.
"Brother Zeng, I don't know where you're from, but you're here alone. Such a serious injury, it took a day and a night to recover. I don't think you're an ordinary person... Mo Qingting looked at Zeng Tianqi's calm but slightly surprised expression, but she was not surprised. If you're leaving, I'd like to go with you. Her face grew crimson in the light.
Watching Mo Qingting's hand turn into ice, Zeng Tianqi was a little surprised, but he was not shocked. Su Xiaoyu was crushed in his right hand in Tree City, and he knew the potential of the immunizer. It's just that the immune people he knows are all uncontrollable, and the woman in front of her, how did she manage to perfectly control her energy burst? He stepped forward, looked at Mo Qingting with the help of the slightly dim light, and grinned: "What if I said that I want to take everyone with me??。。。。 ”
It was late in the night, and there was hardly any sound in it, except for the roaring roar of the surviving corpses who had locked themselves in their homes during the cataclysm.
In the dark, there was a sneaky figure less than 200 meters from the bomb shelter. The dim moonlight filtered through the mist, vaguely outlining a thin face with a figure-eight mustache. Ding Lao Si!
I saw him quietly bury a jar in the soil of the withered flower bed. patted the dirt on his body and sneaked away again.
This night, the roars of the wild corpses came and went, and the sudden rage made everyone's nerves tense. In the community of 30,000 people, only a few of the ten people remained, and tens of thousands of crazy corpses were led away by the fierce exchange of fire from the group army headquarters in the north. However, as time passed, thousands of wild corpses were left who gradually mutated, trapped in this dead city. They are either locked up in windows or lured inside abandoned bomb shelters. But tonight, they all went berserk.
Zeng Tianqi did not strip and fall asleep, in a strange place, especially when there was no brother in Heishui by his side, Zeng Tianqi had always been more vigilant. Zeng Tianqi got up quietly, glanced at Mo Qingting's room, and found the air-raid shelter alone.
Mo Qingting didn't sleep soundly either, in fact, the reason why he didn't fall asleep over and over again was because Zeng Tianqi gave up. It turned out that he never believed in the so-called love at first sight, and she thought she was a sane woman. She had been out collecting wild vegetables a few days ago, and she heard a loud noise in the middle of the way, and the huge wind pressure dispersed the dense fog around her. She saw in the distance in the direction of her brother's abandoned camp. She decided to check it out, and standing on the edge of the crater, she shook her head bitterly. The little hope of the impossible in her heart was completely wiped out. A pile of pitch-black parts she didn't recognize, accompanied by sparks and dark red flames, lay in the pit in front of her.
Just as she shook her head and walked back, she found Zeng Tianqi lying in the mud on the side of the road outside the ruins of the camp. When she tried to see that Zeng Tianqi was still breathing, she decided to rescue Zeng Tianqi back to the family home. When washing off the dirt and black ash on Zeng Tianqi's body, and fading off the clothes like strips of cloth on Zeng Tianqi's body. Mo Qingting found that her heartbeat accelerated, Zeng Tianren's perfect body, the strong muscles, and the curves that she could only see on TV did not represent the bursting hormones.
Even the pitch-black arm, the scales felt so cold and slippery, he did not reject this weird right arm, in her eyes, Zeng Tianqi should be the same as herself, a freak-like person, with weird abilities.
I don't know if it's because of Zeng Tianqi's masculine and demonic face, or because of his calm and confident attitude from waking up to now, which made Mo Qingting's heart ripple, and in the sleepless night, Zeng Tianqi's appearance haunted her heart, making her unnaturally clamp her legs.
The sudden knock on the door startled her, and after Zeng Tianqi explained that it was him, she almost lost control for a moment, and in her apprehension and expectation, she quickly tidied herself up and opened the door.
However, Zeng Tianqi, who was behind the door, was not abnormal, and even asked her to put on her shoes quickly with a solemn face, Mo Qingting put on her shoes and followed Zeng Tianqi to the door.
The gray-white mist turned red in the moonlight, and the quiet mist rolled up as if stirred by fright, and a strong smell of blood flowed through the air. Mo Qingting was terrified, she had never seen such a strange scene.
Just when Mo Qingting was in a daze, a figure suddenly jumped out of the silent fog and fell in front of the air-raid shelter, this person was covered in blood, holding a broken arm, and shouted: "They are coming!" They're coming! Help me... Help me!! ”
As soon as the words fell, a slender and hideous figure burst out like lightning, covered in scarlet muscles and saliva. The skinny claws hung down to the ground, and they frantically pounced on the incoming person, and the sharp teeth tore off pieces of flesh and blood and swallowed them on their heads. Mo Qingting raised her hand and was about to take a fighting stance, when she saw Zeng Tianqi next to her flashing and rushing forward, the long knife on her back was already in her hand for some time.
The body of this mad corpse did not proliferate with much drastic changes, and perhaps it was because of this that it survived the long period of captivity in the dwelling and fell into a deep sleep of suspended animation, if nothing else, perhaps in a few weeks, it would be exhausted and died. It wasn't until it smelled fishy that his appetite and hunger instantly mobilized the strength of his whole body, and he smashed open the window that he had nailed to himself when he was a human. The fresh flesh in front of him drove him crazy, and he feasted on it desperately, and then, with a chill on its neck, its red vision rolling, and in its vision, a man with a long knife flashed away. This is the last image it sees. Its shriveled head rolled to the ground.
The smell of blood is stronger, and the fog is redder. Under the cold moonlight, dense wild corpses began to break through from all closed corners. Several people in the bomb shelter were finally awakened, and they walked out with guns in hand, just in time to see the scene of dense wild corpses besieging them. Mo Qingting had an estimate of Zeng Tianqi in her heart, and knew that he was not an ordinary person. But the neat and effortless knife still surprised her. Except for the time when he faced her sister-in-law's crazy corpse, he lost control of his strength in terror, and when he came to his senses, the whole room, along with her sister-in-law, was frozen into ice sculptures, and her sister-in-law's ice sculptures were scattered into broken ice when he touched them.
After that, for weeks, he could only condense a certain part of the mad corpse at best, and use her ice axe to grind the mad corpse bit by bit. The corpses that had been bitten to death before were in front of them, and the strong smell of blood filled the air, and in the mist, all kinds of strange and strange corpses continued to rush out, with spikes on their backs, tumors with skin like toads, and humanoid cockroaches crawling on the ground. constantly challenging the visual nerves of several people in the bomb shelter. It's been a long time since I've seen so many crazy corpses. Their hands trembling with their guns.
However, the mad corpses won't give them time to tremble, the first shriveled mad corpses began to devour the corpses frantically, Zeng Tianqi kept on his hands, and when he just rushed out of the fog, Zeng Tianqi cut down a few, and then beheaded the crazy corpses that devoured the corpses desperately. Seeing that there were more and more crazy corpses, Zeng Tianqi stepped back, grabbed Mo Qingting and shouted to everyone: "Push to the air-raid shelter, defend with a low door!" ”
At this time, everyone woke up like a dream and scrambled towards the door of the bomb shelter.
Zeng Tianqi finally retreated into the air-raid shelter, changed the knife from his left hand to his right hand, and looked at the bustling mass of wild corpses outside the door. He knew that if he couldn't pass this hurdle today, all the people in this family courtyard community would die.
