As long as you're by my side

can overcome all difficulties

Because I am looking forward to a new picture

So gather at this origin

There are always unknowns in life

Thorny and bumpy roads

Let's look up to tomorrow together

This friendship will always be guarded

— Hakula Black To all those who give support!

"Everyone has an unforgettable past. Rejoicing, or happy, or sad, or miserable...... What about you?

Unknown background, superb kung fu, dark tattoos...... The clash of knives and swords, the memories of blood and tears.

You...... Who exactly. ”

No more weakness, no more believing. We are facing the most terrifying thing in the world, not the zombies roaming the streets, nor the scorched and mutilated corpses, nor the collapsed world, but the unpredictable human heart.

Is this a kind of depravity?

I don't know, I don't want to judge and I can't judge. But now I know that I am alive, and no matter what becomes of this world, I will continue to live, even if I trample on tens of thousands of corpses, even if my knife has endless blood on it!

Those who follow me may not prosper, and those who oppose me will surely perish!

Shiller

My name is Shi Lei, male, 20 years old, birthday is June 24, I live in Building 23, Linghui Street, Gufeng District, Shanfeng City. He used to be a sophomore in the computer department of Shanfeng College of Economics and Business. On December 27, 2012, the D virus swept through my world, and it has been nearly a month since billions of creatures lost their souls, most of the human beings have become cruel and ruthless zombies, and how many of the few survivors have become 'monsters' who indulge their selfish desires.

Sunday, January 20, 2013, night, light rain.

"How to rush out of the road ahead, a beautiful ......... Whew......"

I sat alone in a room on the second floor of the villa, gently playing the old guitar, the notes could be played, but the lyrics were not finished. There is a table lamp on the table next to it, which can still be used, and this kind of lonely villa should have its own power system. I don't know much about it, and I don't want to dig into it, so I just need to use it.

Tick ~ tick ~ A light rain fell outside the window, and the water droplets fell on the window, making a light sound, pleasant and beautiful.

"I can't see it." With the sound of silver bells, a pretty figure walked out of the door.

I looked up and saw that it was Lin Yue.

"I didn't expect you to play the guitar." Lin Yue walked in, looking at the layout of the room, and chatting with me.

I stopped playing, put the guitar on the table next to me, and said lightly, "If you have something, just say it." ”

Lin Yue heard that my tone was sullen, turned her head to look at me, paused for a while, and then her originally smiling face suddenly sank, she walked up to me, looked into my eyes, and asked seriously: "Why did you throw Xiaofan into the water!" ”

I knew she had to ask me, I looked at Lin Yue and said, "Because he's dead." ”

…………

"Gone?" Lin Yue asked.

"It's gone."

"Just because he's dead?"

"Hmm."

Then we didn't say anything, we just looked at each other. I obviously felt the fierceness revealed in Lin Yue's eyes.

"You said he was your brother." Lin Yue said.

"That's right."

"That's how you treat your brother? Throwing a corpse directly into the water? ”

"He's dead." Without waiting for Lin Yue to speak, I continued: "Go to sleep, don't mention this matter again." ”

"Where to sleep? How to sleep? Sleeping with you? Are you going to throw me out of the window? Lin Yue asked continuously.

I frowned and gave her a suspicious look. I saw that Lin Yue was still expressionless, then took a step forward and slowly raised her right hand. According to her temper, I don't have to guess what she's going to do.

Sure enough, Lin Yue's right hand suddenly accelerated and fanned me straight in the face!

Syllable!

I raised my arm to block her hand. Lin Yue didn't give up, and stretched out her left hand to hit me, I raised my right hand and took it, and then grabbed her two arms with both hands at the same time, twisted it hard, made her turn around, pinned her arms behind her, and pushed forward until she pushed it in front of her and stuck it to the wall, then stopped, but there was no loosening in my hand, so I pressed her against the wall.

"Let go of me! Bastard! You let go of me! Lin Yue shouted.

"Listen!" I whispered coldly in Lin Yue's ear, and at the same time shook her body vigorously, and then she stopped shouting. "Xiao Fan is dead, in this world, running around with a corpse is simply looking for death."

"But he's still a child! Even if you die, you can take it to the shore and bury it! Why did you drop him! Do you still have a conscience! Isn't he your brother?! Lin Yue asked loudly.

"Don't shout!" I pressed her hard again, and continued to say coldly: "Don't use the morality of my previous life to measure me, human nature, conscience, in this world is what feeds dogs." I don't have much more to explain, now, go to bed! Do you hear me?! After saying that, I pushed Lin Yue to the door, and she tripped under her feet and hit the wooden door directly.

I glanced at her lightly, and I shouldn't have broken her. I turned and walked to the side of the bed and said, "Go out and close the door for me." ”

Bang Dang...... The sound of the door closing. Then there was the sound of footsteps.

I didn't even look back, and said, "Give up, you can't beat me." ”

The footsteps didn't stop, they kept coming close behind me until they finally hugged me. Suddenly a warmth spread over my left shoulder. This Nizi is biting me!

I subconsciously went back to push Lin Yue's head, but in exchange for the pain of my shoulder being torn, I bit too hard!

Lin Yue's figure is too petite for me, she is lying on my back like this, I can't get her down at all. Hurriedly looked around, and his eyes instantly locked on the bed in front of him. I raised my left hand behind me and pressed Lin Yue's head, grabbed her waist with my right hand back, and then strode towards the bed. When I got to the bed, I turned to my side and threw myself the bed!

The mattress was very soft, but the impact on the two of us was not small, and with a muffled bang, my left shoulder slapped directly on the bed, and Lin Yue, who was biting me, hit me very hard, and let go of her mouth even with her.

As soon as my shoulders loosened, I immediately flashed to the side, and then turned around and saw that Lin Yue was a little stunned. I exhaled and glanced at my left shoulder. Okay! My clothes were torn apart, and some bright red blood was coming out. This crazy woman!

As soon as my head was hot, I rushed directly at Lin Yue, rode on her without any taboo, held her hands respectively, and stared at her with dead eyes.

Lin Yue slowed down for a moment before she reacted, and found that I was pressing her in a 'special' posture, her little face instantly turned red, and then she began to struggle violently! "What are you doing! I don't care about you! Stinky rascals! Get the hell out of here! ”

But her three points of strength had no effect on me, I suddenly poked my head down, and stopped directly in front of Lin Yue, and the tips of their noses almost touched. I looked her in the eye and said with a strong sense of anger, "You're playing with fire!" ”

Lin Yue suddenly lost her voice, looking at me with wide eyes, I obviously felt that she was sending a signal of fear, but 'pity the fragrance and cherish the jade' is completely uneasy for me now. I wanted to teach her a lesson, but all of a sudden, a picture flashed through my head.

Once, there was a girl who also bit my shoulder, the right shoulder. The bite mark can still be seen to this day. It was not a simple tooth mark, it was a girl's resentment, it was sadness, it was pain, it was insecurity, it was hatred...... Because of my 'feigned mercy', the girl's family was ruined, her father was killed, and I was humiliated...... It's all because of me......

A movement under me pulled me back from my memory, and Lin Yue began to struggle violently again, but it was all useless. Now I don't have the anger I had just now. I looked at Lin Yue calmly and didn't say a word. And she didn't scream, just trying to break free from me.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Yue finally stopped struggling, she just looked at me like that, and slowly, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

I used to be the last thing I could see a girl crying. Now, I don't know, but when I saw those tears, I felt like I was being rubbed hard inside. However, I didn't show it on my face, but said lightly: "Now, I can do anything...... Including killing you. That's the reality, you know. ”

Lin Yue's face did not change, but there were more tears in the corners of her eyes. I let go of her arm and rolled over and got out of bed.

"If you don't understand, go find your brother, don't mess with me again." I said something calmly, sat down at the table, and quietly watched the rain fall outside the window.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Lin Yue stunned for a while, and then slowly sat up, not rushing towards me, nor being angry. Instead, he kept his head down silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the view through the windows was getting more and more blurred, and there was nothing to see.

"Woo............"

I looked back, Lin Yue's body was trembling slightly, okay, I cried again. It didn't feel well, but I didn't want to coax her. By the way, Xiao Qi is still downstairs, so just get Xiao Qi to this house, and then the men are here, and the women go to Xiaoyu's house to avoid embarrassment and take care of each other.

I got up and walked out of the room, closed the door, and went down the stairs. Xiaoyu has been in the room and has not come out. I don't know how the child is now, but with Sister Peng by her side, you don't have to worry too much.

In the hall, Lin Yang and Ao Xiang sat on the sofa and smoked, Ao Xiang also smoked a lot this night, except that the action was a little rusty, and the others were similar to the old smoking gun. Xiao Qi lay on the side and fell asleep comfortably.

"Lin Yang." I shouted.

"Huh?"

"You go upstairs and let Lin Yue go and sleep with Sister Peng Xiaoyu, and the three of us will take turns keeping vigil for a while."

"Oh~" Lin Yang slapped his thigh, stood up and went upstairs directly.

I was going to help Xiao Qi up, but at first glance, this kid slept very well, come on, just stay like this first, anyway, the three of us have to take turns on duty, and the men are all downstairs, so there is no need to pursue sleeping in bed every day this day. Besides, the four of us are old men, a big bed in the room is not enough to squeeze, the total area of the sofa is much larger than the bed, and it is also very comfortable.

I sat aside, pulled a cigarette out of the cigarette case on the table, and clicked! A light smoke rose from the ground. Ao Xiang sat in front of me on the left, silently looking at the ground, not saying a word. I don't have much to say, just consume it.

When the cigarette was about to burn out, Ao Xiang spoke up and said, "Shi Lei, why did you do that?" ”

"What."

"Xiao Fan." Ao Xiang looked up at me and said, "Why did you throw Xiao Fan down?" ”

I looked at him, didn't speak, but snuffed out the cigarette butt and lit a second cigarette instead. After a long silence, Ao Xiang saw that I didn't mean to speak, and said, "You don't want to explain?" ”

"Whew~~~" I slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette and said, "There's nothing to explain." ”

Ao Xiang didn't react, and after listening to it, he just looked at me deadly.

I don't want to explain anymore, I don't want to explain anything, I'm just me, I'm like this, I can't get used to it, find a way to solve it myself, I won't do these useless things anymore.

Another thing I wonder is why everyone seems to be in good spirits, including myself. We just escaped from the countless zombie piles today, and we almost had to do our physical strength, Ao Xiang and Lin Yang even supported Xiao Qi all the way, following me to chase Wang Li, and Xiao Fan's death was also a shock to the spirit of all of us. Generally speaking, we should go to bed early at this time to recover ourselves. But none of them showed signs of extreme exhaustion. I don't seem to feel anything wrong with me, maybe it's because I've been through a lot of battles before, and my body is gradually getting used to working for a long time.

"Shi Lei," Ao Xiang said suddenly, "You once said that you would do your best to protect this team, remember?" ”

"Of course."

"Well, if one day, you can't protect this team, or it becomes a threat...... I wouldn't mind replacing you! Ao Xiang's voice was low, but it revealed an unusual firmness.

I looked at him, snorted coldly, and said lightly, "Can you do it?" ”

Ao Xiang looked back at the sky outside, looked at me again, and said affirmatively: "This kind of world, no one is the same!" ”

"That's right!" I also stared at Ao Xiang's eyes, the corners of my mouth curled slightly, and I said word by word: "Whoever is missing, it's all the same." ”

The silence, the deathly silence, the sound of the rain outside the door was instantly weakened. The two of us just sat on the couch and stared at each other, the temperature around us seemed to be rising.

Pressed him, pressed him, pressed him! I kept telling myself in my heart that I must overpower him! I've lost so much and I don't want to lose again! Now that I'm determined to be responsible for this team, I'm going to be the real core, the leader who says yes! My team members can give me advice and suggestions, but they must not disobey my orders, and I must establish absolute leadership!

As I continued to add mental hints to myself, I felt a burning breath ignite from my body, and quickly rushed upwards and straight to the door! At the same moment, I clearly saw Ao Xiang's eyelids twitching, and the fingers on the side of the sofa were unnaturally tightened. I know that in this silent duel, I won.

Knock knock knock...... A sound of going downstairs interrupted my 'competition' with Ao Xiang, and both of them withdrew their gazes at the same time.

"Leizi, do we have to seal the doors and windows?" It was Lin Yang, he said as he walked over.

"Hmm," I nodded, although there was no trace of zombies outside the villa, it seemed to be relatively safe, but no one could say what would happen in the next minute, in case we caught up with the group of corpses migrating, passing here, we would have 'play'. So I stood up and said, "It's mainly the lobby on the first floor, the kitchen and the bathroom. ”

"The kitchen and bathroom are handed over to me!" Lin Yang answered, and then walked to the kitchen.

I glanced at Ao Xiang, then pointed to the side and said, "One person on the side." ”

Ao Xiang didn't speak, but he also stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window opposite. I looked at the door, the door is still relatively strong, and there are two large windows on both sides, although it is not floor-to-ceiling, but the lighting area is very good. But now it has become the biggest obstacle to survival.

The sofa can't move, Xiao Qi is still on it, and we still have to sleep here. In addition, the height of the sofa is too short for the window, if there is a zombie rushing here, as long as the glass is broken, it is easy to rush in across the sofa, and the insurance factor is basically zero. I looked around as I pondered, and finally fixed my eyes on a row of display cases. I walked over and gave a gentle push, well, it's heavy, and I should be able to block it for a while with this. The cabinet is about 5 meters from the window, so do it yourself. I stuck my hands on the edge of the cabinet, lunged with my feet, and slammed hard.

Squeak~~~ Sneer! I pushed with all my might, but I didn't expect to push less than a meter, and the cabinet was really heavy. But I didn't want to call them for help, so I just pushed and moved forward little by little. After a lot of effort, I finally pushed the cabinet to the window, but it only blocked about a quarter, but there were still a few display cases. But at this time, my body began to strengthen, as if the previous fatigue was released at once, my arms suddenly became sore, and my calves and stomach began to tremble.

I forced my way back to the other cabinet, my hands stuck, and I strained again. But this time, I gritted my teeth and stiffened, and I moved the general out of the meter by one meter, and I had to stop for a break. Hey, why don't you give me an infinite stamina setting......

I started pushing again, but this time not with my hands, but with my shoulders against the cabinet, and then with all my body, I slowly pushed the cabinet to the door window. And then there's the next ......

After I pushed the third cabinet with great difficulty, Ao Xiang finished the floor-to-ceiling windows over there, also using display cabinets. It was only then that I realized that there were enough display cabinets in this house, but there was nothing in them. At most, there's a wine vase or something like that. Is it necessary to prepare so many cabinets for this thing?

Ao Xiang saw that I was having a hard time, so he first went to the door and blocked the door with a shoe cabinet, and then ran behind me to push another cabinet.

A powerful sleepiness swept through my brain cells, my eyes began to blur with a yawn, and the pain in my body could not be suppressed, and the whole person was like a contradictory existence. As for Ao Xiang, I looked at it and didn't speak, these behaviors are all for the survival of the team, and he won't compete with me on this. Just wanted to take a break to move the last one, when Lin Yang poked his head out of the toilet and said, "Leizi!" Come here! ”

"How."

Lin Yang didn't answer, but retracted his head. I felt a little strange, so I shuffled over with tired steps. Turning into the toilet, I saw Lin Yang standing against the wall. When he saw me come in, he pulled me and closed the toilet door.

"What?" I asked.

"Leizi." Lin Yang said slowly, "Do you know why I joined you in the first place?" ”

I didn't speak, thinking to myself why this kid suddenly talked about this, there must be something to say, and he would say it without asking.

Sure enough, Lin Yang continued: "That will be in the residential building, let's meet for the first time." At that time, in order to get medicine for the little seven brothers, you attracted a group of zombies alone, and almost fell into the mouth of the corpse. To be honest, I admire you from the bottom of my heart! Ever since the outbreak of infection, I have seen with my own eyes a man who pushed his own son into a horde of zombies in order to escape for his life...... And you, for the sake of your friends, dare to fight with your life, and can make such a big sacrifice, I really think you are a good example! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yang paused. I still didn't talk, and my expression didn't waver in the slightest. According to the general routine, after singing praise, it is blame and punishment.

Lin Yang glanced at me and said, "You can also see it, I'm not running for my life alone, I still have a sister, I have to protect her!" …… However, I have limited power alone, so I want to be able to join a team. Your presence has allowed me to find the right person, but I was not sure at that time. Later, when I saw that there were men and women in your team, and they got along well, I also saw that you are not a person who is determined to go his own way. I'm beginning to be convinced that Lin Yue can be better protected by staying among you. ”

I just listened silently, Lin Yang took a breath and continued: "After that, in Yingyue Bay, when I saw you rushing back to the zombie group to save us, I was even more convinced of my choice, you are someone worthy of my trust!" …… So, I made up my mind to be your right-hand man! As long as it is a decision that you recognize, I will not ask again, I will only implement it! ”

Is this boy here to show his loyalty to me...... But he didn't mention anything about Xiaofan to me.

Lin Yang said again: "However, I also have my bottom line!" ”

"Lin Yue." I'll answer it too.

"That's right!" Lin Yang looked me in the eye and said, "I know, Lin Yue is still a little naïve, a little bit of a big lady's temper, and sometimes she likes to drill the horns...... However, she is my sister, and I will take all the responsibility for her! So, if someone makes her cry in the future, whoever he is! Whatever the reason! I, Lin Yang, will never let that person go! ”

Then we just looked at each other, and neither of us said anything. It was strange just now, obviously I made Lin Yue cry, why did he, a brother, come down like no one else, and wait for me here.

At the same time that Lin Yang said this, I saw that it was really as if a flame had ignited in his eyes, hot and scorching! At that time, I had a consciousness that if someone made Lin Yue cry or hurt her in the future, then Lin Yang would definitely let that person die miserably, even if he trusted me so much, it was the same!

Is this the relationship between brother and sister, the elder brother can do anything to protect his sister...... I'm pretty sure of that, because I used to have a sister, but that was many years ago.

After staring at each other for a long time, Lin Yang finally spoke first, "From today onwards, I will consider you my brother who lives and dies together, and protects this team together!" Now, I want you to have an attitude, acceptance, or rejection. ”

I didn't speak, I didn't hesitate, I looked at Lin Yang and snorted coldly. Hearing the voice, Lin Yang immediately frowned and asked, "It seems that you are unacceptable?" ”

I didn't say a word, but clenched my right hand tightly into a fist and slowly raised it flat between the two of them. Lin Yang saw my hand, flickered for a moment, then his brows instantly dissolved, he smiled and snorted, and also raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Bang! The two fists slammed together, this is not a simple action, this is an agreement, this is a contract between men in the last days!

Looking at these two fists, I felt quite funny, I didn't expect to be able to use such a cliché in this kind of world, but when I raised my fists, I didn't even think about it, so I naturally did it. I glanced at Lin Yang, and he also had an inexplicable expression, as if he didn't expect that I would agree in this way. After a while, we both laughed together.

"I can't stand you! Hahahaha! Lin Yang said with a laugh, and then slowly withdrew his fist.

I laughed a few times, put down my hand, gradually calmed down, and said, "Go do some more protective measures, and take turns to be on duty for a while." ”

"Oh!"

With that, I turned around and walked out.

"Leizi!" Lin Yang shouted.

"Aang?" I stopped and looked back at him.

"If one day, I die, hopefully, you can continue to take care of Lin Yue."

My eyes narrowed, and I said plainly but firmly: "From today on, my brother's sister is my sister!" ”

Lin Yang smiled slightly, then rolled his eyes, and said, "Hey, hey...... I'm counting on you to be my brother-in-law! ”

"I'm angry," I slumped and walked straight out ......of the bathroom.

When Lin Yang and I came out, Ao Xiang had already blocked all the windows on both sides of the gate. Seeing the two of us, Ao Xiang put on an incredulous expression. Then he covered his face with another hand and shook his head helplessly. I'm angry, this kid won't think we're, right......

I didn't bother to explain it either, and went straight to assigning the duty schedule. But in fact, it is the three of us, there is no need to allocate it, one person for two hours, the wall watch has been out of power, but Ao Xiang found two batteries in a locker before, installed on the watch, and can be used again. Lin Yang was in the first shift, and then Ao Xiang and me, and the three of them worked in shifts.

We didn't know how long the power in this villa would last, and too much light might attract zombies, so instead of turning on the headlights, we found a small table lamp that could be used and placed next to the sofa to illuminate this small area.

Weak, dizzy and sleepy, this is my body now, and I really need to rest urgently. But when I was lying on the couch, I couldn't sleep. Maybe it was Lin Yang's words that touched me just now, but now as soon as I close my eyes, Xiaoyu's appearance appears in my mind, I don't know what happened to her, I don't know what Xiaofan's incident will make her look like this time. If I became a woman bent on revenge again, what would I do......

Strike! I sat up at once. What were you thinking just now......

"What's wrong, Leizi?" Lin Yang, who was on duty on the side, asked.

I shook my head and looked to the side, Ao Xiang and Xiao Qi were sleeping quite comfortably. I competed, stood up and said, "I'll go see Xiaoyu." ”

Lin Yang glanced at me and didn't say anything.

Once again, I shuffled my tired steps towards the stairs. The steps that could have been taken up in a few arrow steps were really laborious for my current body. When I walked to the door where Xiaoyu and the others were resting, I felt like I was about to collapse. Trying to shake my spirits, I raised my hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Knock, knock, knock......

After a while, there was a sound of walking in the room, and then the door opened from the inside, it was Peng Miao, who was wearing a coat that came from nowhere.

Peng Miao rubbed her eyes and saw that it was me, so she asked softly, "Xiao Lei, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Lei? …… Whatever...... I lowered my voice and asked straight to the point, "Sister Peng, how is Xiaoyu?" ”

Peng Miao glanced back, and then whispered to me, "I'm already asleep." ”

"Did she say anything?"

"Nope." Sister Peng tightened her coat and said, "I have been standing by the window before, and then I persuaded her to rest, but she didn't say anything, and went to sleep directly." ”

"Hmm," I nodded silently. The more Xiaoyu didn't react, the more uneasy it made me, even if she rushed over and beat and scolded me, it was better than being silent like this. I'm always holding myself like this, I don't know what Xiaoyu will become and what I should do.

"Xiao Lei? Xiao Lei? ”

"Hmm." I stopped thinking and looked up at Sister Peng.

"Xiaoyu is also a sensible child, she will be fine. Don't overthink it, rest early. You're so tired today......" As she spoke, Peng Miao stretched out a hand and patted my face gently.

A natural sense of steadiness spread from Sister Peng's hands to my body. I nodded and said, "Sister Peng, you also rest early, good night." ”

"Well, good night." Peng Miao smiled at me, and then slowly closed the door.

I don't want to spend it here, the soreness in my body is getting more and more obvious, hurry downstairs and go to sleep.

Suddenly, I felt a chill in my back, a familiar feeling that I had encountered many times, and every time I did it, my first reaction was that someone was staring at me. This time too, I immediately looked back and found that the hallway was empty, only the meager glow of the emergency lights on the wall, which further accentuated the claustrophobic and eerie nature of the entire space.

Although it felt supernatural, I looked closely and it seemed that something was wrong, but there seemed to be nothing wrong...... At this time, I had unconsciously covered with goosebumps, and I subconsciously rubbed my arms, so let's hurry downstairs.

I used to be a person who often scared myself, like going to a public toilet in the middle of the night to squat in a pit, I would worry about whether the next door would reach out a hand; Or if you turn off the lights and sleep at home at night, will something climb up next to the bed; When I'm staring at a computer screen, do I ...... behind me? A person, no matter how he "disguises" himself in front of others, when he is alone, he will also reveal some of the most essential emotions. Now, all I worry about is the most basic thing, which is whether there will be zombies coming at me when I open the door one day......

I'm angry! I know! I knew something was wrong, and I was already halfway down the stairs when the sudden inspiration gave me a little strength and I quickly turned around and ran up.

Rushing to the second floor again, my eyes instantly locked on the door of a room. Really! There are four rooms on the second floor, and I haven't been in this one, and at this time, the door of this room is hidden, revealing a dark gap.

When I saw what was in the slit, the whole scalp was tightly together, it was the eyes! In the crack of the door, an eye was quietly watching me!
