The gunfire alarmed the mutant dogs at the door, and a large number of zombies were also drawn, and we jumped out of the window and ran straight east.

The sky began to thunder again, and raindrops of small density fell from the sky, washing away the blood-red stains on the earth.

We started at the bathing center and fled eastward, and soon came to a crossroads, where our clothes were almost soaking wet. I casually looked sideways, and saw that on the road south of the intersection, there was a dense group of zombies, and I am now immune to the word 'dense'. But the worst thing is that about a dozen mutant dogs are shuttling through it, and they have noticed us and rushed over at a rapid pace.

"Running !!" I shouted, and my tired body became unconscious, and I ran out along the road! I could only see Xiao Qi next to me with the same speed as me, but his expression was calm, as if he wasn't tired at all.

"Ahh "Daddy! Yikes! "Uhh One after another screams rang out from behind me, and I quickly looked back to see that there were already five or six people who had been pounced on by dogs, all of whom I didn't know. Looking at my own people again, Xiao Qi followed, Ao Xiang followed, and even Wu Binghao followed me closely, but Xiao Fan and Xiao Yu's speed gradually slowed down.

"Xiao Fan! Fast! ”

"Brother Shi! Xiaoyu's feet are no longer good! Run!! ”

I clearly remember my promise that I would not abandon Xiaoyu, although there will be more than a dozen 'beasts' chasing after me, but I am very sure that I can't just walk away, grit my teeth and stomp my feet, I will withdraw!

I suddenly turned around and ran towards Xiao Fan and the others, and opened the mountain casually. The knife was handed to Xiao Fan, and then Hu Xinyu was carried on his back. "Hold on! Let's go! ”

Carrying a person on my back must be slowing down, not to mention that my feet are also a little slightly injured, at this time, Xiaoqi Xiaofan and Ao Xiang ran to my side one after another, escorting me and Xiaoyu!

There were still screams from behind, but that was beyond my reach. We can't keep running, we're certainly no match for a four-legged dog, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, so we have to find a place to hide. I looked back and saw that quite a few people had already been pounced, and there were still three dogs left chasing us. Then I saw a restaurant in front of me on the left and shouted, "Go there!!" ”

We rushed into the restaurant with all our might, there were no zombies here, I hurriedly put down the light rain, and then took the opening mountain from Xiao Fan's hand. knife, shouted: "Get in!" Everybody in! Fast! Find something to seal the window, hurry up!! Then I turned to Xiao Qi and said, "Xiao Qi, let's deal with these beasts!" ”

Xiao Qi nodded, and then pulled out the Tang knife. After letting everyone go, the three dogs in the back also caught up, my hand holding the knife kept shaking, the first time I faced this mutant dog, it was a lie to say that I was not nervous, and I tried my best to overcome my fear.

One of the 'black backs' rushed directly at me, and I turned my heart sideways, and then swung the knife with all my strength and pounced~! Phew!! The knife slashed deeply into the dog's head, but I was hit and retreated, one was unstable and lay down, and in a trance I saw Xiao Qi solve the other, but there was another one that pounced on me, and I fell to the ground heavily when I lost my balance, and I didn't have time to swing the knife!!

"Ahem!!" There was a loud scream, and suddenly a man rushed out from behind me, and slashed the dog with a slash, and the huge force actually threw the dog out, and after falling to the ground, it was silent.

I looked back and saw that it was the murderer Wu Binghao, and secretly said that he had a lot of strength, and he used a kitchen knife just now, probably taken out of the restaurant. I didn't care to speak, so I quickly got up and retreated into the restaurant.

There was no threat outside for the time being, but I couldn't be careless, so I beckoned a few men to seal the windows and doors, and then sat down to rest.

"Thank you just now!" I said to Wu Binghao, who smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

This will make me look inside the room again, and my head will be full of helplessness. We were close to 20 people when we escaped from the bathing center, and now there are only 9 people left, including me.

I, Xiao Qi, Liu Xiaofan, Hu Xinyu, Ao Xiang, Wu Binghao, Zhao Yanhong, Luo Bin, I don't know.

It's raining outside, and there's no light on inside, so the whole restaurant is very dim, but I can barely see the inside, the area here is not too big, and there are more than a dozen square tables, but now they are basically pulled to block the doors and windows, and the others are also placed in a disorderly manner. The surviving people randomly found a place to sit and rest.

I wiped the rain from my face and asked, "Is anyone hurt?" ”

"What?!" The man I didn't know stood up and said, "Do you still want to throw us out if we're hurt?" What the hell are you! ”

"Who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Dong Shuhe, what's the matter!" He was wearing a suit, but at this time it was muddy and watery, and it was broken in a few places, and he had no temperament at all.

I looked at myself, it was the same dirty, white bath.

"Hey! I'm asking you! How can you be so cruel?! Are you still a little human? ”

I stood up suddenly, then walked up to him quickly, face to face and said, "What I just asked is if anyone is hurt, if you are not hurt, just shut up for me, you know?!" ”

Dong Shuhe retreated, and then said, "Who are you!" Why should I listen to you?! If it weren't for you, we would still be hiding there very safely, maybe the rescue team would have come, but now they are being chased all over the street by a few broken dogs, and everyone else is dead! It's all dead!! It's all because of you! ”

"I'm going to you!" Xiao Fan suddenly scolded, and even I was startled. Immediately, he rushed over and gave Dong Shuhe a punch directly, and then said loudly: "Brother Shi told you a long time ago to deal with the injured, but you didn't listen!" Noisy and shouting to attract zombies and mutant dogs! Brother Shi helped you escape again, if it weren't for taking care of you, we would have run away a long time ago! Are you still chirping! As he spoke, he pointed at Hu Xinyu and continued: "My classmate has a foot injury! Brother Shi also has a foot injury! Do you think it's easy for us to escape?! If something happens to them just now, I'll be the first to kill you!! Grass you make you hard! Saying that, Xiao Fan started to fight again, Dong Shuhe didn't seem to have much combat effectiveness, and he was hit several times in an instant.

"Stop!" Zhao Yanhong stood up again and scolded angrily. I laughed, and this woman didn't seem to have any lines except when she spoke at such times.

Liu Xiaofan didn't eat this set, and continued to fight, ignoring her. Zhao Yanhong hurriedly ran over and made a gesture to pull Xiaofan. I shoved her away and said, "Don't touch my brother." ”

Regardless of her surprise, I said to Liu Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, okay, stop fighting!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fan kicked hard again before stopping, but he was still panting heavily.

I glanced at Dong Shuhe, who was lying on the ground, and then said to everyone: "Now this world is a real environment where people eat people, and it is no longer possible to simply evaluate who is right and who is wrong, everyone has their own survival criteria, if someone is not happy with my approach, you can leave, or do what you want to do, or even come to kill me, as long as you have the ability." In addition, let me tell you, it's best not to pin your hopes on some bullshit rescue team, once you become a zombie, whoever is a father can bite your son, who else can you count on?! Now, I don't want to talk nonsense, is there anyone hurt! ”

"Xiao Shi," Luo Bin called me, and then raised his left arm.

I saw a wound on his arm, still bleeding. To be honest, I don't have much dislike for this old police officer, and I think his personality is a bit similar to a person I met before. When I saw him injured, my heart trembled and I hurriedly asked, "How did you get it?" ”

"Hehe, I was caught by that brute." The old officer's expression was very calm, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't trouble you." So saying, he got up and was about to walk out.

"Wait!" I stopped him and asked, "Is anyone else hurt?" ”

No one answered. I looked at Luo Bin, didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say. He looked at me and smiled, and said, "Young man, you are very assertive, and your thoughts are not unreasonable. But prolonged terror can infect people's hearts, you have to be careful. With that, he prepared to walk out.

"Brother Luo, wait a minute!" Zhao Yanhong shouted: "No, you can't go out!" ”

"Xiao Zhao, I agree with Xiao Shi on this point, if you are infected, you must stay away from the crowd, otherwise, it will really harm others and yourself!"

"Nope! Brother Lo! You got hurt to help me get in the way! Me, I...... I"

I see, I said that this Luo Bin's skills are not bad, why are you so careless, it turned out to be for her.

Luo Bin gently broke her hand and said, "I will find a place to stay by myself, you have to take care." ”

"Brother Luo!!"

At this time, Hu Xinyu secretly ran to my side and said, "Brother Xiaoshi, he may not change so quickly, can you let him stay for a while." ”

I was also a little entangled, and suddenly I encountered this kind of self-sacrificing, I didn't get used to it, and finally fell into silence. Just as Luo Bin pushed Zhao Yanhong away and was about to leave, I looked up and stopped him: "Officer Luo"

"What's wrong?"

"I will take to heart what you just told me. You stay for now, and I'll put you in the kitchen when the night rests." ”

"Hehe, no need, in that case, it will still be dangerous for you......"

"Brother Luo!" Zhao Yanhong hurriedly said: "This idea is good, he is right, you can stay in the kitchen at night, don't leave!" ”

Ao Xiang also stood up and said, "Officer Luo, stay first, we all have the ability to protect ourselves." ”

"Yes, uncle" Hu Xinyu also said: "Stay, at least we can have a meal together, Brother Xiaoshi's skills in spreading eggs are good, you can stay and taste it." ”

Everyone, you say a word, I see that Luo Bin is also hesitating. At this time, someone suddenly laughed, I turned my head to see that it was Dong Shuhe, and he said loudly to me: "What is this?!" Aren't you going to throw it out when you're wounded? What's the matter, this person is still useful to you, he is friends with you, you just keep him, and other strangers will be abandoned by you?! It's ridiculous! Hahahaha! If I was injured now, would you just hack me to death? Isn't it, isn't it?! ”

Hearing that Xiaofan was about to get angry again, I quickly stopped him, and then replied calmly: "He has an awareness of this world, do you have it?" Secondly, what I have always said is that infected people need to be quarantined, not that they should be abandoned, you don't misinterpret what I mean. Thirdly, we all survived, that is, we are lucky, as human beings we have to unite as one to live better, if you talk nonsense, my brother doesn't mind teaching you how to live! ”

With my words, Xiao Fan deliberately pressed his hands to rattle, seeing this, Dong Shuhe closed his mouth indignantly.

Luo Bin said: "Xiao Shi, this doesn't seem fair, right? ”

"Fair?" I laughed and said, "This world has long been unfair. ”

Luo Bin thought for a while, so he said, "Okay, I'll stay, but I beg you something." ”

"You say."

"If something goes wrong with me, kill me right away! I'd rather die than be like all that stuff out there. ”

I looked at Luo Bin seriously, and he also looked at me. Halfway, I nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

We found some ingredients in the kitchen and used the kitchen utensils to make a large table of meals, which was the most sumptuous meal I have had in the past ten days.

With the sound of the rain, we began this sumptuous dinner. At first, the atmosphere was a little stiff, but later Luo Bin told us some things about arresting people before, interspersed with some jokes, so that everyone could live. There was also a case of beer in the kitchen, but none of us moved, but Dong Shuhe took a few bottles and started to drink, Zhao Yanhong persuaded him a few words, it was useless, and he simply didn't say more.

That night, we found three candles from the dining room table, lit two to illuminate the room, and put the rest in the kitchen. Everyone stood up and quietly looked at Luo Bin, who was about to walk into the kitchen, and when the latter saw this, he laughed: "Don't be so serious, everyone!" It's not a big deal if people die inherently...... Xiaoshi, I'm sorry for you then. ”

I raised my heel and said, "Officer Luo, I'll sit with you." ”

"Good, good."

I didn't take a knife, I followed Luo Bin directly into the kitchen and closed the door casually. Zhao Yanhong also wanted to follow in, but Luo Bin refused.

Luo Bin and I took a bottle of green tea and sat on the ground, silently facing each other.

After a while, Luo Bin said: "Xiao Shi, people are dying, their words are also good, I have to say some things to you, don't think I'm verbose." ”

"Say it."

Luo Bin took out a cigarette, gave me one, and lit one himself, Fang said slowly: "Xiao Zhao, she is an old police officer, but after all, she is a woman, and she may be older than all of you, but her ability to adapt to the current mutated world is indeed not strong, I hope you can take more care of her in the future." ”

"Well, don't worry."

"Hehe, in addition, Ao Xiang's kid is new, and he will be handed over to me to take with him, but now I can't do it, it's also troublesome for you, I know you will agree, but I want to tell you one thing, Ao Xiang has always been very nervous, especially in the face of emergencies, but his marksmanship is very good, and his grades in the police academy are also the first, it can be said that he is very capable, as long as you can help him overcome his fear."

"Uncle Luo, let me tell you, anyone will be nervous in the face of zombies, even us, but I also found that Ao Xiang's spirit has been tense, which is not conducive to his survival, but I think that as long as he experiences more later, he will slowly get better."

"Well, there's that Oh Byung-ho."

I was also intrigued when I heard this, and now I didn't know much about that person, and hurriedly asked, "Yes, you have to tell me what kind of person he is." ”

Luo Bin took a puff of his cigarette and said: "He is a wanted criminal, he used to commit murder, and the small boss of a business was killed by him, and he didn't catch it at the time, so he ran away." Later, he did poisoning. A group of colleagues once went to arrest him, but he didn't expect them to be caught, and he killed several of us. I've been dealing with him for a long time, and I didn't catch him until more than half a month ago. This man is very smart, very skilled, and has a strange personality, and you must pay more attention to him if he will follow you in the future. ”

I thought to myself, this is still a bull character...... "I see." ”

"I don't know about the guy surnamed Dong, but it's no problem for you to suppress him. I want to talk about a few of you again" After a pause, Luo Bin continued: "That kung fu brother doesn't need me to say more, I think he is very calm and very convinced of you; The other two students too, but the boy is too impulsive and the girl is too weak, and although you can protect her now, she must learn to protect herself, otherwise, if something goes wrong, she will be hurt and drag down you as a whole. ”

"I've also thought about taking her for some training in the future, and I can also increase my survival efforts."

"The last thing I want to say is you," Luo Bin said solemnly: "In this team now, you are the only one who has leadership qualifications, but you are the one who lacks the most leadership qualifications." ”

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"You are very decisive, you know how to make everyone survive better, and among these people, you are the most aware of the end times. But you must have a good attitude, you must be good at mastering the degree of toughness of your speech, when it is soft and when it is hard, this is something that you need to judge, and the decisions you make will affect the survival of the whole team. For example, in my case, you said before that if the infected person is to be dealt with in time, it must be treated equally, although you are for my good, so that my old bone can live a few more hours, but if you often do this, you will lose your leadership ability, and they will slowly stop resolutely implementing your words, so ......"

"Uncle Luo," I interrupted, "Actually, I don't want to be a leader, my only purpose is to find my parents, which is what keeps me alive." Since these people are on the road with me, I will naturally try my best to ensure everyone's safety, but this is not my business alone, everyone should be like this, human beings need unity to survive in the last days. I don't want to suppress anyone as a leader, but if someone threatens the safety of me and my friends, I won't let them go! ”

"Child, you must know that there are some things that you don't want to do, and this kind of team struggling to survive in the last days must have a leader, otherwise it will be a plate of scattered sand, and soon the whole army will be wiped out. It's a heavy burden, and I can understand that you don't want to take it, but I ask you to think about it, there's no one here who is better suited to this position than you. That's why I'm asking you to kill me when I mutate, you proposed to isolate the infected, and you have to carry it out, once I change, it must be up to you, so that your authority can be maintained. ”

"Uncle, I'm ......"

"Okay kid, don't say any more." Luo Bin snuffed out the cigarette butt and said, "I'm a little tired, you go out quickly, let me sleep steadily for a while." ”

I looked at him wordlessly, in fact, I could understand what he said, but I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to lead anyone. But I didn't have much to say now, I reached out and said, "Nice to meet you!" ”

Luo Bin shook my hand, "Don't let them worry about me anymore!" Good bye! Then don't look away and stop talking. I nodded, then turned and walked out. As soon as she went out, Zhao Yanhong walked over, "Let me in!" ”

"No way!" I said firmly, "Xiao Fan, Ao Xiang, move the rest of the table over and block this door." ”

The two of them hurriedly got up and moved two tables, and I pushed Zhao Yanhong away and asked them to block the door. Then I said, "No one is allowed to approach this door tonight, or don't blame me for being rude!" Saying that, I glanced at Zhao Yanhong coldly.

"You!!" Zhao Yanhong was about to go crazy, Ao Xiang hurriedly came over to stop him, and under his constant persuasion, Zhao Yanhong retreated with tears. I took the opening mountain handed by Xiao Qi. knife, then sat down near the kitchen, and said, "The others hurry up and rest, Xiaofan Xiaoyu, you two come over for a while." ”

Hu Xinyu didn't know what was going on, he trotted over, Liu Xiaofan also came, I asked them to sit next to me, and then said slowly: "Xiaoyu, from today on, you do 10 push-ups and 30 sit-ups every day, and when we turn around, we will find a bigger place, and let Xiaofan teach you parkour techniques again." ”

Hearing this, the two were stunned, and Xiao Fan asked, "Why?" ”

"Xiaoyu, you don't have the ability to protect yourself now, you can only rely on the protection of me, Xiaofan or your seventh brother, but if we are in danger, or all of them are killed, no one can protect you at that time, and you have to live alone, so from now on, you have to exercise yourself every day, understand?"

Hearing this, both students bowed their heads and remained silent. After a while, Xiaoyu raised his head and said, "Brother Xiaoshi, I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will learn to protect myself and won't cause trouble to everyone!" ”

"Well, about training, you can ask Xiao Fan well, he can parkour, this kind of skill is conducive to saving his life, after all, no one can fight hundreds of zombies alone, once they are pursued, then escape is the best choice!"

"Brother Shi," Xiao Fan said, "I want to ask you, do you think Xiaoyu is a burden?" ”

I smiled and said, "No one in this world is a burden, people are all equal in nature, since you call me Brother Sheng, give me trust, then I will be responsible for you." But you have to understand, you can protect her for a while, but you can't protect her for a lifetime, if Xiaoyu can train herself, it will be good for herself and the team, understand? ”

"I understand, it's just ......"

"Xiaofan," Hu Xinyu said: "I also think I should exercise, I will definitely become a burden to you if I continue like this, I know you may not mind, but I don't want to do that, so, please help me, exercise myself!" ”

Liu Xiaofan was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked at me, looked at Xiaoyu again, and nodded firmly: "No problem, don't worry!" ”

I sneered, "You can remember, if you kid dares to think badly about us Xiaoyu during training...... Hum! I clenched my fist at him.

Liu Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no!" ”

I said, "Ang, it's okay, I've approved it!" ”

"What do you say! Brother Xiaoshi! Dislike! Xiaoyu frowned and scolded.

"Haha, just kidding, don't mind!"

After that, we chatted casually, and everyone found a place to make do with sleep, and I hugged Kaishan. Knife sat on the floor, with his back against the wall next to the kitchen door, and closed his eyes.

I really don't know when I'll be able to get a good night's sleep. In the middle of the night, I felt someone push me, and when I slowly opened my eyes, the whole restaurant was pitch black, and the sound of continuous rain came from outside. By the moonlight, I slowly saw that the person in front of me was Wu Binghao. He made a silent gesture to me, then pointed to the kitchen, I guessed what was going on, stood up and looked into the kitchen through the small window, due to the low visibility, I only saw a figure twitching, it was Officer Luo Bin. I know very well that he is going to mutate, or has already mutated.

Wu Binghao patted me, I turned my head to look, he scratched his neck with the palm of his hand, and then turned to go to sleep. I understand that he asked me to kill him, and if I think about it, if I wait for Zhao Yanhong to wake up and then kill, it doesn't have to take much work. So I gently moved the table in front of the kitchen, opened the door and walked in.

"Officer Lowe?" I whispered, but he didn't respond, so I reconfirmed, "Officer Lowe? ”

"Roar......" There was a low roar, and this time I flicked my knife and stepped forward.

With a simple obliteration, the mutated Officer Lowe is no longer a threat to us. I bowed three times to his corpse, then walked out and went back to sleep.

In this kind of world, after seeing life and death a few times, you can quickly accept it mentally. This night, I had a dream, in which I met many people, including my parents, my girlfriend Li Xiaoyu, Fa Xiaopang, a group of friends from high school, and a group of 'guys' from the college dormitory. We sat in a large room, sitting around with a candle in the middle. Everyone's eyes were focused on the flickering firelight, and there were no words. The rain kept falling.

Friday, January 18, 2013, light rain.

I was woken up again in the morning, and when I opened my eyes, I found Xiao Qi squatting in front of me.

"Good morning, classmate." I said weakly.

Xiao Qi waved his hand, and then pointed outward. I lazily turned my head to look, and when I saw the dark shadow outside the door, my scalp exploded.

There was a crowd of people outside the window, and it was a zombie one by one, and the front row of hands grabbed the window with both hands, and kept scratching. They must not have fully discovered us, otherwise a layer of windows would not have been able to block them at all, and the blocked tables and chairs would have only been a simple obstacle.

I felt a cool breeze on my back, and I didn't know why the zombies were gathered here, maybe it was the smell of human flesh. I don't know when they came, and if the zombies go crazy, we might be killed in our sleep.

I lifted the mountain. knife, said to Xiao Qi: "Wake them up, tap!" ”

Xiao Qi nodded, and then the two of us scattered and began to call people. We told them not to make a noise every time we called, and then pointed out the window, and everyone had different attitudes when they saw the situation, like Xiaoyu, if I hadn't covered her mouth, she might have screamed.

Everyone got up, but I found that there was one missing, and after looking back and forth, I found that Zhao Yanhong was gone! I called everyone together, and even Dong Shuhe understood the priorities and had no competition. I suppressed my voice and asked, "Did anyone see Officer Zhao?" ”

Everyone shook their heads. This puzzled me very much, the restaurant is so big in total, where can she go? It's impossible to say it, not to mention whether the zombies will be let go, and even the tables and chairs at the door have no traces of being moved.

"Brother Shi," Xiao Fan said, "will it be, will it be in the kitchen?" "The many zombies outside make everyone's emotions very nervous.

I shook my head, it couldn't be, but Officer Lowe's body was inside, and she might have run in. I didn't block the door again when I killed Officer Luo last night, and she really didn't get in. I motioned for everyone to calm down, and then prepared to go inside. I took a look at the restaurant first, and there were exhaust vents, but the kind of children who were only 4 or 5 years old could walk through, and none of us were the size of the people; The kitchen only has a large range hood, but it's not enough for an adult to pass through. It seems that if you want to get out, you can only go through the gate.

But I pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen, and the moment I saw it inside, I gasped again.

Officer Lowe's body lay on the stove with an obvious bloody hole in his head, and he had been dead for a long time. And on the ground in the middle of the kitchen, there was a corpse lying there, the head had left the torso and fell to the side, and looking at the person's face, it was the missing Zhao Yanhong!
