Chapter 15: Fire around the hearth
Running, I'm running, running in the endless darkness, I can't see anything!
I can't understand why I'm running wild, trying to remember the result is an unbearable headache.
The beginning of everything has long been blurred, but there is a deep-rooted belief in the bottom of my heart, I must run! Can't stop!
The coldness of the bone-eating body permeated the body, and the unknown monster was forced to die little by little, like a cat and mouse, enjoying the pleasure of the prey struggling to die.
Fear, great fear! Every movement is extremely stiff, and every cell is screaming and trembling.
Follow suit, the monster's fangs are behind you! Several times, he cut through his clothes soaked in cold sweat, and the next moment, he pierced his heart directly.
No!
I don't want to die!
"No!"
Reaching out and grasping something, he opened his eyes suddenly, but in an instant he was blinded by the light in front of him, his hands clenched his chest and beat wildly, and soon his heart seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and he had not yet woken up from the fright just now.
My throat was dry and I reflexively covered my mouth.
"What's your name?"
As soon as the voice rang in the distance, I turned my head, and the little girl of yesterday wiped the dust on the table with a water-soaked rag, and the back was a transparent window, which was already showing early morning, watching me wake up from my dream, as if casually asking.
"Uncle, where should we go today?"
I clenched my chest with my hands, found that my back was all covered with cold sweat, and silently looked at the long knife lying beside me, and took out the compressed noodles after teasing the little girl last night.
After eating, I threw the only bed in the house to the little girl, and went to the living room, where it looked like a kang and lay down.
As a result, I didn't know last night that I was inexplicably a panicking nightmare, and now I still feel muscle aches all over my body, as if I was crushed by something.
The back of my head was cold, and I subconsciously looked back, and there was nothing, not even a fly.
I guess I'm overthinking myself, it's just a nightmare.
"Go to the port."
was silent for a while, and did not choose to answer the little girl's previous question, the name never mattered, after all, it was just a code name.
I sat on the bed and was stunned for a while, until my empty head gradually regained my thoughts, and I realized that my legs had been pressed by me with a pair of red marks, and it hurt a little.
"If nothing else, there should be a base in that part of the port, and it would be better for us to go there."
The little girl counted the food we had handled yesterday, and although the old house was basically edible, all of them were eaten by rats, but there was still a little vegetarian food left, just like the one I ate before, even if it was left for a long time, it was still edible.
If I could, I would have come across a supermarket as I moved on, and I had to go in regardless of whether there were zombies or not, and I suddenly wanted to eat instant noodles.
Dressed in a coat and wearing a protective shield, the little girl sat on the side and looked at me with her face propped up.
"Uncle, I don't think we should be able to go there."
The other party's words made my movements pause for a second, and a sense of crisis that did not come was imprinted on my scalp, and I instantly reflexively looked at the little girl, and my eyes narrowed slightly.
"How?"
Under my gaze, the little girl covered her eyes with her hands, and her voice was buzzing with a little crying.
"I, that's where I came from."
Then the little girl choked up and told me that 10 days ago, she was attacked by zombies, and all the port bases were taken out by her only surviving parents.
Before meeting me, it was the last day of squatting alone in a nearby residential building, because most of the food had been eaten, so I had to come out, and when I came out, I saw a dead cat.
I was very panicked in my heart, and there was no one around me, so I couldn't help but panic and cry, but I didn't expect to meet me.
"It's true, there's no way to get there now, it's full of zombies! Mom and Dad were injured and locked me in the basement before leaving, and I managed to pry open the door and get out......"
it?
I slapped the table in disbelief, and if this guy wasn't lying, then what am I doing it for? I had been planning to leave that place from the beginning, just to get to a safer place.
But tell me now that it's fallen?
Are you kidding?
"You're not kidding me, are you?"
In fact, I know this matter very well, although the authenticity of this matter is only based on the words of one person, there is no way to verify it, but unexpectedly, if the other party can say this paragraph, then the unexpected number of zombies in this area can be understood, it must be in advance that the parents have cleaned up this area, so it seems a little relaxed when I come over.
Wait a minute.
A man and a woman?
I guess the two people I met before are the parents of this little girl, but how is it possible? Didn't you say good brother and sister?
It's crazy.
I rubbed my face with my hands to calm down, and the little girl next to me didn't dare to say anything when she saw that my clothes looked very unstable, but she just wiped them on her own, and her tears were hugged on the side, and she hid in the corner and didn't dare to speak at all.
"Hey, what do your mom and dad look like?"
"I don't know."
I don't know if I was frightened by my fierce face, the little girl looked like a panicked elk, forget it, there is no point in dwelling on this matter now.
"Are you sure you're telling the truth? Do you know where the port is? ”
As I spoke, I helped find the headphones in my bag, and then plugged them into my phone, trying to listen to the radio here, the radio is impossible to go wrong, and what kind of sound waves are received at what time is exact, yes.
With a little adjustment, the battery level on the phone is almost at the end of the line, but none of this matters, the important thing is that at the last second, I finally heard the radio.
Same words.
Same sound.
The same base.
I suddenly realized that it seemed that the radio sounds I had been hearing these days were basically these few sounds, as if there was something in an infinite loop, spreading this one sound and attracting all kinds of people to this one place.
If it had already fallen, what was this broadcast, and would the real survivors really come in one direction? What if I come and find that it's all dead?
Don't dare to think about it anymore.
"I know where the port is, it's all a big piece of the sea, it's from this part of the route to continue on, and then through a long bridge, we can get there directly, there is also a people's square, but now it should be dense, all zombies, it is very likely that there are friends I once knew in it."
The little girl shook her head to the side and buried her face under her feet, trying to make her voice sound less muffled.
"Uncle, there's no way to get there!"
I didn't give up, I flipped up the location on the map, and there was a huge red area in the lower left corner, where there was a large residential building, and another half in the lower left corner, which was also a people's square.
In addition, there are some details that can be observed from a certain position.
Gritting my teeth, I threw my bag in front of the little girl, who looked at me in some surprise and then shuddered at my vicious gaze.
"Don't worry about it so much, you help me keep this thing first, I'll go out first, I don't believe it, unless I see it with my own eyes, I'll go first, if you dare to leave and run away without permission with my things, you know."
The corners of his mouth twitched and made a terrifying face, I don't know if this little girl will bring a great psychological shadow, but at the moment I can't take care of it, I gritted my teeth and threw everything aside, in fact, this is the fundamental purpose is for two points.
Although I'm a bit blown up by the news, I'm still able to maintain a certain level of sanity, at least I'm most proud of nothing else, but that I can keep myself stable in the event of an absolute accident.
If the little girl had left with my things, then I could have confirmed that what she had said was absolutely unbelievable, and although there might be a little truth in it, more than that, it was back to what it was before I didn't get the news.
On the contrary, then this one thing is debatable, in the process of running carefully, I basically ate most of the food in half, and there is a way to confirm whether what the other person is saying is true or false, that is, to occupy a vantage point, and then use a telescope to observe that area, just because my area is less than half a distance from that place.
There was a skyscraper in front of me, and if I went forward from this area, I could reach the top of the building smoothly, and I broke the rope next to it, and while the rope was shaking, I collected a slipknot ferrule, tied my body to the top, and then shook it to change, and rushed forward.
At the top of two skyscrapers not far apart, I took a deep breath, the wind on the left shook a little, and then in my self-made jumping slipknot, as soon as I lay down, the whole person swung.
Take a deep breath and land smoothly, there are no zombies on this side of the rooftop, and in the few floors below the rooftop, it looks a little more, because of the relative distance, so after smelling my smell, all of them have some surges.
I didn't think about it, but in this way I shook the sides of the building at intervals, not particularly far away, the wind hit my face and blew a little pain, and even smelled a little blood, and licked my upper lip with my tongue, tearing off a layer of dead skin from the chapped skin.
The telescope was placed in the upper left corner of the eye, and after the field of vision kept shaking, it found the square, and the dense human heads were like a rough wave, forming a black sea in it, and even mixed with a little bit of red.
I didn't say anything, but silently put down the telescope, and it turned out that the little girl was right.
I don't know how long I stayed, but my feet were a little numb, and I was completely sure that not only that place, but even this so-called base was surrounded by a large number of zombies, and my heart was completely cold.
However, this persistent chill didn't last long, and after I noticed that something in the crowd looked different from other zombies, I reflexively crouched down.
My heart was completely cold, but it froze again and almost broke,, what is that thing?
The head of each zombie was spliced together into a huge ball, and under the ball, something like human flesh was constantly wriggling, and even many limbs like limbs grew out.
It moves very slowly, and as it moves, it seems to devour other zombies, growing stronger and combining into a single part of its body.
What exactly is this TMD?
My head was buzzing, my trembling body was crawling forward little by little, I didn't dare to stand up, even if I was so far away, when I had just observed with a telescope, the feeling of being spied on by some kind of sight, like the nightmare I had, instantly flooded into my heart.
It was the ultimate horror.
I crawled forward with a dark face and trembling, only to find that my legs were already weak, the slipknot on my body was pulled very hard by me, and my head was dizzy, and it reverberated to another tall building as it descended.
Moving back and forth in this way, I managed to reach the ground in the end.
On the way back, I came across a few zombies, and a small wave of zombies, which trampled over my body after I almost buried myself in the dirt.
It's okay to step on the face TMD, and almost stepped on the ......
An indescribable shadow came up from below, and I finally crawled out of the mound of dirt weakly, and it was almost noon, and the weather was very dry, and finally I returned to the house in a very embarrassed way, and the little girl in the house was nowhere to be seen.
I was so angry that I threw all the things on the ground, but I didn't dare to move the things I lifted, what was going on with that little girl?
The only way to do this is to return to the Presidential Suite again, and if the rest of the place has long since fallen, then the one I was in should be the safest place.
I don't know what's going on.,Suddenly, the previous conversation between a man and a woman came out of my head.,They said that the body will produce some kind of mutation ability to a certain extent.。
I can understand the genetic code, but there are some words that I don't understand well, and I'd love to figure it out if I could.
I searched the house inside and out, and there was no sign of the little girl, and a note was left on the table, the words on the note were very delicate, but it seemed to be a little scribbled.
"Uncle: I'll go first, thank you for the food, if you can see you again in the future, I will definitely repay you, I hope you can still be alive and see you again."
I'm just three question marks.
What do you think of me, treat me as a passerby, and then come all the way to trick me, right? Since my brain is fine, I'm actually the one who gets tricked?
If I don't make sure that place is really occupied by zombies, will the little girl never leave?
I paused for a second, in other words, since the little girl had already told me the news, wouldn't it mean that the other party was actually saving my life by not going to that place so recklessly?
What is this grass?
He pulled his hair vigorously until he tore off an inch of his hair before he panicked.
There was no choice but to go back first.
How did you come here, or leave and go back to the same place.
Returning with mixed feelings, when I left the door, I found that there were many more furs on the floor from the front entrance, and some of them looked like animal-like furs, and even some were bloodied on the side, which was simply the best feature of cramps and bones.
There were fragrant pigs, and some animals that looked like foxes, all piled up together, and smelled bloody, which I didn't smell in the house just now, and now when I opened it like this, it was all blood.
Blood......
Dish?
it!
What the heck?
The door of this house is so bright and magnificent, and so much blood is made? Is this TMD wishing I had died sooner?
As expected, the hideous-looking zombies rushed directly towards the door, and all the zombies within a radius of several kilometers gathered vigorously in this area, basically most of the zombies were established at the front door to look like a small zombie tide.
What a tune!
Gritting my teeth and thinking hideously, I closed the door reflexively without saying a word, and then quickly left through the back door, and while the girl ran wildly, I couldn't wait to directly grab that little girl and spank her!
What's going on with kids now? Is it that I can't understand this era anymore, or am I too old to keep up with these little kids' thinking?
When I finally returned to the presidential suite in the high-rise building with a tired face, I saw the door of my house being opened open, and a pair of very cute little shoes were placed on the floor.
The room was cleaned spotlessly, and when she walked into the bedroom, the little girl was sleeping peacefully on the big bed.
I:......
Calm down.
Be smiling.
