CHAPTER XXXIV

On the way, I saw that the originally prosperous Ai Ling City had long been shattered. High-rise buildings destroyed by fires can be seen everywhere, the streets are full of scrapped cars, and the scene of congestion is displayed in front of Chenmu's eyes.

"Brother, how is Wenhao City now?"

Chen Mu couldn't help but worry a little about his parents who worked in the city next door, although the two were reorganized families, their relationship had always been very good. Looking at the silent Li Muyang, Chen Mu already knew it in his heart. Tears welled up with fear, and the scabbed wounds on my face were no longer as stinging as the pain in my heart.

Suddenly, with Li Muyang braking suddenly, he saw a woman holding a child standing on the fourth-floor balcony of an apartment building in the distance. Because they were not far apart, they could clearly see that the child in the woman's arms was dying, and her chest seemed to have some difficulty breathing. When the woman saw the two people's cars parked on the road, she hurriedly shouted to them.

"Help us, please, we can't get out, the child hasn't eaten for a day."

"Brother, what's the ...... What to do. Chen Mu was full of tears, and turned his head to look at Li Muyang, who was holding the steering wheel tightly. I saw that Li Muyang's hands were clenched tighter and tighter, and the green tendons gradually burst out, and the trembling arms slowly emerged muscle lines that she had never seen before.

"We can't save ......"

As soon as Li Muyang's voice fell, suddenly there was a loud sound of landing in front of him, and the next second, he saw that the woman who was originally standing on the balcony to survive was already lying on the asphalt road and bleeding. The child in his arms was still breathing, his chest rising and falling back and forth. Li Muyang was about to drive up to check, only to see the child lying on the ground suddenly stand up, and his immature body dragged his broken right leg in their direction. Seeing this, Li Muyang hurriedly drove away from this place of right and wrong.

"There are still a lot of citizens in this city who are hiding in the corners, praying for survival."

"What about the mayor? Isn't he supposed to be in charge of picking up the survivors in the city? Chen Mu looked at her brother in front of her with an innocent face, she didn't seem to dare to imagine the worst answer. But that's the way it is, and the most realistic answer she got from her brother was the government's inaction.

"The fall of Wenhao City was because they did not examine the residents of Andong City who had taken refuge, and the infected people were mixed with normal people, so they ......"

"Alright, don't talk about it." Chen Mu didn't want to continue listening, there was actually another reason for the mayor's inaction, that is, he was afraid of having the same experience as Wenhao City. After all, with so many citizens in a city, it will definitely take all kinds of resources to review each one. But Chen Mu still couldn't understand how the officials of Ai Ling City managed to only care about themselves and ignore the citizens.

On the Ring Expressway, there were many sparse and infected people who were out of control chasing their cars, but because of the mutilation of their limbs, they could not move as fast as the people on the first floor of the hospital. Li Muyang slowed down, and the familiar urban buildings on both sides of the road made people reluctant to give up. Chen Mu already knew in his heart that now that the two of them went to the orphanage, they would definitely not come back to the city. The scenery outside the window flickered by, and the wound on his head became extremely painful as the memory emerged.

The Dongqin Orphanage is only half an hour away from the city center, but due to many road traffic accidents, it took a long detour to start driving in the direction of the suburbs.

"I can't guarantee that there are still people in the orphanage."

Since the outbreak of infection, the rate has increased rapidly at a rate that no one could have predicted, paralyzing the city. The suburbs are no exception, and Li Muyang can no longer imagine whether the orphanage in the suburbs is still safe. Chen Mu took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and the signal could not be searched.

Bypassing the winding road conditions, I came to the gate of Dongqin Orphanage. Li Muyang parked the car in the jungle on the other side, and when the two got out of the car, they heard the cries of many children coming from the building.

"It's okay, it's okay, nothing is wrong." Li Muyang comforted himself, pulled Chen Mu to the door of the orphanage and hurriedly patted the door. After a long time, nothing came.

The two walked to the side of the road and looked at the ten-story building in front of them, where the screams of children were still endless. After listening carefully, I gradually reacted to this long howling cry, which became extremely infiltrating. It's not like the childish voices of children at all, which can be made. Then, the almost beastly whisper was accompanied by a stampede, and an invisible force walked back and forth.

Li Muyang pushed the iron door, only to find that it had been locked from the inside, and through the crack in the door, he saw that the big chain was tightly pressed against the doorknob. Chen Mu tentatively touched the side of the door, and after confirming that it was firm, he began to climb with his bare hands. The skillful technique of using both hands and feet was particularly sophisticated, and after a while, he stood on the edge of the fence and looked into the courtyard.

I saw that on the slide, blood was still flowing down. As if a massacre had been experienced, the courtyard was drenched in blood and emitted a pungent and disgusting smell. Li Muyang clumsily stepped on the protruding door frame of the iron door, and was pulled up to the wall by Chen Mu. Looking at this shocking picture, Li Muyang was already speechless in shock.

The two climbed down the high wall and walked into the courtyard. The roaring cries in the building were silent the moment they landed. The two looked up and saw groups of children and caregivers standing outside the otherwise empty hallway. Covered in blood, he was staring at the Li Muyang brothers and sisters standing downstairs. After looking closely, the children's noses and gouged out eyes, frightened Chen Mu hurriedly took a few steps back.

There were a lot of people on each floor, but they didn't rush like hungry wolves when they saw them in Ai Jie City. Li Muyang took a few steps forward, and the sound of stepping on the stones on the ground instantly attracted everyone to look in his direction. Seeing this, Chen Mu quietly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it to the other side, and everyone looked in the direction of the stone.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly walked out of the building, and opened the door the next second when they entered the first floor, so that they could quickly escape in case of danger.

"Brother, what are we doing here?"

"The unsigned messenger sent me another letter while I was in the hospital. He told me to come to the fourth-floor archives here and take the papers out there, so we could know what was going on. ”

"But......" Chen Mu couldn't help but be a little worried, thinking that the corridor on the entire floor just now was full of 'people', she began to get goosebumps all over her body and became extremely uncomfortable and said, "Why is that person looking for you?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't seen him in person, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, but since I was asked to take it, he must have a reason." After speaking, Li Muyang walked to the back door of the stairs, opened the door to the back garden and said, "Later, if there is any emergency, we will flee to the back door if we can't escape from the main gate." There is also a door to the mountain in the dormitory building at the back, and there is a highway going up. ”

For Dongqin, no one knows the structure of the orphanage better than the people who live here. Chen Mu followed Li Muyang's steps and walked to the second floor, and the two stood in the stairwell and looked at the tall and short figures in the corridor with their backs to them, their legs trembling and unable to move. Li Muyang swallowed his saliva, his hand that was still in a cold sweat tightly grabbed Chen Mu, and his steps were as light as a feather.

Walking through the corner of the overcrowded corridor, he walked to the third floor, and suddenly Chen Mu, who was walking behind him, stopped and looked at Li Muyang with a frightened face. Looking back, I saw Chenmu's clothes hanging on one hand. Looking at the child who did not move, his immature hands were already full of green tendons, his face was pale, and his shoulders and the corners of his mouth were covered with blood.

Li Muyang stepped forward and took off the corner of his clothes from his hooked hand, and the soft clothes slid on the child's hand, only to see the child turn his head slowly. The two thought about the distance of half a meter, and looked at each other. Looking at the eyes of the child who had been dug out of a pit, the blood vessels that were still beating constantly, and the bottomless darkness that looked inside, made him retract his gaze and continue to pull Chen Mu up.

The two of them came to the third floor, which was obviously a little less crowded than the second floor. But it still makes people have to be vigilant, and there are many people standing in the sparse crowd who can no longer make out their faces. Li Muyang tried to identify a few friends from the orphanage that he knew well. But no one is recognizable.

It all seemed to go so smoothly that the two of them whispered back and forth down the hallway to the fourth floor before finding the location of the archives. When I opened the office door, it was empty, and all the computers were turned on and running. Chen Mu walked to the computer and waved the mouse to open the screen, and a big "X" mark was printed in front of him. Li Muyang rummaged around in the cabinet on the side, only to find some files about the orphanage.

After looking at the font of the title of the University [Brain Death Research Project], which was printed with the same 'X' as the computer screen, the two simply held all the relevant documents in doubt and left this place of right and wrong to carefully examine. As soon as he stood up, he saw a man standing at the door of the office, staring at the two of them expressionlessly with a bloodstained face, and his huge body just blocked the door, making it impossible for the two to escape from the office.
