Chapter 30: Dreams
Murong Yuhua had never seen such An Lian.
Whether it is a lady or a savage little sister, An Lian is always a woman who will dress herself up from head to toe delicately, and even make her nails the most expensive and beautiful.
But now, she's standing on the edge of the tarmac. She and her bodyguard, Ah Feng, stood by the bright red helicopter like lost dogs.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was covered with makeup, her skirt was torn, and she wore an oversized black suit over her waistcoat. She was covered in blood from supporting the big bodyguard beside her.
As if realizing that An Lian had been sent to a safe place, Ah Feng fell forward after seeing Murong Yuhua and Gu San coming. Compared with his huge physique, An Lian was really petite, and she was weighed down by his weight in an instant, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Zhu Li stepped forward to help hold her in time.
Gu San's first reaction when he saw the wounded was to raise his gun. An Lian immediately blocked in front of Ah Feng and shouted angrily, "What are you doing!" β
"He's hurt."
"He wasn't bitten by a zombie." An Lian replied, reaching out and trembling to tear open the bloodstained places on his body, "You can see clearly, these are knife wounds, bullet holes, which zombie can still use weapons after losing his mind?" β
Murong Yuhua frowned for a while, "What's the matter?" Didn't I let you go home? How could Ah Feng be injured like this? And your other bodyguards? β
"Don't mention them." An Lian's eyes contained hatred, "It's them who will hurt Ah Feng like this." We didn't run into zombies, but we did meet a bunch of crazy bastards! β
An Lian's hands then clenched into fists, she held her knight's unconscious face and shed tears, and opened her mouth angrily, telling Murong Yuhua about the terrifying night she had experienced.
At that time, when she heard Murong Yuhua say that the zombies were coming, she immediately drove back to the old mansion, ordered everyone to close the doors and windows, and she took off her makeup, took a shower, and prepared to go to bed behind the door of the locked room, waiting for dawn to see what the situation had developed. Unexpectedly, before she could change her clothes, someone pried open her door.
It was the hired bodyguards who came.
Zombies erupt, the world collapses, the end comes, all the past employment relationships no longer exist in this desperate situation, people for their own selfish desires, in order to increase the possibility of their own survival, do not hesitate to take the lives of others first.
The knives in their hands were stained with blood, and some of them still had guns in their hands. The man said that there was a limit to the food stored in the villa, as well as a limit to the amount of gasoline that could be used by all vehicles and planes. The more people who want to live, the less each person is allotted.
But what if only a small number of people stay in this villa? Their chances of survival will be higher.
"They say I don't deserve it all, I don't deserve their protection, I'm just a woman, a bitch who doesn't know anything. Except for having a rich father, it's useless to be a good-for-nothing daughter. An Lian tightly tugged at the oversized and loose blazer on her body, took a deep breath, and suddenly showed a hint of sarcasm, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Oh, no. They say, I'm still a little useful, at least I'm a good-looking bitch. At least...... I also have a hole between my legs. β
Gu San's eyes gradually sank, including Murong Yuhua, who had always been good-tempered, also vaguely showed anger at this moment.
An Lian didn't cry anymore, she almost dried up the tears of this life in the villa, and the comfortable life over the years was shattered into powder in an instant. The betrayers, the beasts, pulled at her body with impunity, slapped her hard in the face, pulled her hair and forced her to bow her head.
In desperation, she wished that she had been infected with the zombie virus, opened her mouth and tore at their flesh, no longer knowing the pain, and fought back, making them fear herself in turn. Now that fear is spreading and horrific contagions are raging everywhere, the living people in this building are attacking their fellow citizens and murdering others for their own survival.
In desperation, An Lian heard gunshots.
Blood splattered on her face, and the man in front of her fell to the ground with a bang.
Then there were constant, incessant gunshots and roars, and warm blood flowing down her body. In the darkness, everything gradually fell silent, and footsteps rang in her ears, and the suit with the smell of heat and blood covered her.
She heard her knight sit down on his knees at her feet, put her bare feet back on shoes, pick her up from the bed, and wipe away his tears.
He said, "Miss, I'll take you to Mr. Murong." β
An Lian hugged his broad shoulders and cried loudly, she smelled the blood on his body, but she had always thought that it was the blood from that group of animals, and she didn't have time to think about itβhow could Ah Feng's traditional protection of her allow this group of people to do these things to her.
This group of villains had already made a plan from the beginning, and they would deal with Ah Feng first and then deal with An Lian. But An Lian didn't think of this at all, she was completely frightened, just put on a man's suit like this, was picked up by him, and left the bloody room.
From departure to arrival, Ah Feng never screamed in pain, nor did he tell An Lian about his injuries, if it weren't for the blood stains on his body that continued to spread when the helicopter landed, An Lian didn't even know what happened to him.
After Gu San squatted down and carefully examined the wounds on Ah Feng's body, and made sure that all of them were attacked by others, not zombies, he nodded with Zhu Li and motioned for him to take him to bandage it immediately. After An Lian heard this, she kept holding the corner of Ah Feng's clothes and followed him in small steps, refusing to leave.
Murong Yuhua was about to speak, but was stopped by Gu San. She shook her head lightly and motioned for An Lian to follow. The girl followed Zhu Li and Ah Feng and disappeared behind the door, Gu San noticed the remorse in Murong Yuhua's expression, and after a while, he heard him say, "If I knew that this would happen after she went back, I would let her come directly." β
"You can't guess that much."
"At least ......"
"We don't think about it that much until it actually happens."
"Those bodyguards of hers were carefully selected by her father to protect her for years, and some of these brutes could even be said to have watched Lianlian grow up - how could they." Murong Yuhua reprimanded, "How could they do such a terrible thing? Are they still human? β
Gu San said, "In this situation, how many people can be human all the time? β
"Do you think An Lian will make it through?"
"She's going to be stronger than you think. Everything that happened today was terrible, yes. But she will survive, and her life will not be ruined. Instead, you have to believe in one thing. Gu San looked in the direction where An Lian disappeared, "Men and women are the same. As long as there is a life, after picking up a gun, they are all soldiers. β
This is a suffering that has no end.
It is also a suffering that all people have to face when they are alive. As soon as you open your eyes, you wake up to the fact that everything you thought was a nightmare is real.
In this world where disasters are real, everyone is the hero of their own destiny, everyone is creating greatness at any time, and everyone is also a murderer.
The long-term and high-intensity work made Gu San and Murong Yuhua finally a little tired. After dealing with An Lian's affairs, they returned to their room, took a shower, and returned to bed.
It was almost noon, and there was silence throughout the villa, with sporadic gunshots outside the house, and the fence being quietly erected under the work of drones.
They were lying on the bed, and Murong Yuhua leaned against Gu San's side, as if sighing, "I wish I could close my eyes and open them again now, everything that happened was just a dream of mine." β
"It's a wish I've made on my birthday since I was a kid."
"In your world...... Are zombies finally defeated? β
"Minecraft?" Gu San smiled bitterly and sighed, "When I was five years old, the zombie tide officially broke out, intermittently, from being controlled to relapsing, then to small-scale control, and then to outbreaking. It was repeated many times, and by the time I died, it had been raging for thirty years. We made a lot of bad decisions, which we thought were to save people, and ended up killing a lot of people. β
In her world, there are also parents who sacrifice for their children, soldiers who die for the people, and medical workers who are infected because of it to help others.
As a result, countless hospitals have become zombie strongholds, and countless soldiers have fallen on the front line against zombies. Countless births and deaths. Countless people fell into despair and chose to commit suicide, and countless people gave up the struggle and ended their running and fleeing with their families.
Wish...... Hope is the rarest and most precious thing in that inhospitable land.
"Didn't you control the spread of zombies?"
"We tried, and a vaccine was developed three months after the zombie outbreak. However, the virus is constantly mutating, and the vaccine is also becoming effective. In the end, we can only guarantee that the person bitten by the zombie will not mutate, but once he dies, he will also become an enemy. β
When most of humanity is infected, the invention of vaccines has only temporarily slowed down the extinction.
"But we slowly built up the fortress. The survivors planted and raised cattle in the fortress, and rebuilt new cities. There is radio communication between the fortresses, and if they fall, we will do what we can to help. I hope that this will extend everyone's survival time a little longer. Even if it's just a little longer. β
ββ¦β¦ You lived like this from the age of five to thirty-five? β
"I don't have a choice."
"I have one more question." Murong Yuhua raised his head and looked at her, "You said that you woke up after you died and turned into Lan Zixi." So why the hell did you die? Since there is already a fortress, it is safer than fleeing, right? β
Gu San seemed to have the barren ruins in front of his eyes again.
The raging zombie tide enveloped her heavily, and the bites of the sharp teeth that penetrated deep into the flesh seemed to return to her measured skin in an instant. But in the end, she just sighed lightly, looked back at Murong Yuhua's faintly unbearable eyes, lowered her head and covered his lips and said, "This is not important." Importantly...... I woke up in your world. β
She looked at the man's eyes and suddenly there were tears flowing down his eyes, the kind of sadness for no reason, the big boy in front of him always had a weak and amorous side inexplicably.
"You have to remember that it's not unimportant," he said. β
Murong Yuhua suddenly hugged her in his arms.
"No matter where the world is, whether it is full of despair or not, you remember it...... Stop treating your sacrifices as everything that doesn't matter. β
Gu San felt a hint of unreality in a trance between his words.
And yet his body temperature was real, his words were real, and the touch he felt holding her tightly was real.
"You don't have to feel like you need to atone for anyone...... Everything you do is right...... You don't need to carry this forward, and you don't need to brand yourself as a sinner. β
Gu San suddenly felt that his body was too heavy. She lowered her head, and a sore throat struck herβthe same way she had felt when she had cut it.
Suddenly, she saw the familiar starry sky again, blood spurting out, and the sound of wind sounded in her ears.
The surroundings were dark, and the original warm touch was gone, and in a trance, she could only hear Murong Yuhua's muffled voice coming from afar.
He said, "Third Sister Gu...... I'll definitely take you...... ...... home"
Then darkness struck again.
It's as if everything was just a dream for no reason.
