Chapter 29: Empathy
Ren Xiaobai looked at the stranger sitting at home so naturally, and he didn't react a little.
"Huh? How did you guys get here? Chen Ruonan was the first to ask, these people were some of the neighbors she had seen before.
Those people were a little silent, and Ren Xiaobai saw that the fists of the leader were clenched tightly, and the back of his hand was a little white.
Gao Bin walked out of the kitchen, put some food on the table, and shook his head helplessly at Ren Xiaobai.
Glancing up at Chen Ruonan, the leader took a deep breath and sighed, "We gathered some people today and wanted to go out to collect some supplies. ”
He raised his arm and looked at his bandaged wounds, "There are some people in the team who have successfully gone out before, and they are responsible for leading the team to the nearby streets and shops to find some food. ”
"We got there all the way, and although some of us were injured, we all killed some zombies and had a bit of courage."
"We collected some food and mineral water." He looked self-deprecatingly at his companion beside him, his head bowed.
"I didn't expect ......"
The man had a frightened expression on his face, "Suddenly a huge zombie jumped out from next to us, and that zombie was extremely powerful, killing the three of us in the blink of an eye!" ”
"Lao Wang...... Lao Wang was directly slapped on the ground by it, and the blood burst to the ground in an instant, and he never stood up again! ”
His eyes widened, and he kept breathing, controlling his trembling body, "That's a white zombie, the roar shook the sky, like a small mountain!" ”
"We were all scared and didn't know what to do. It screwed the heads off and ate them and stuffed them in their mouths. ”
"Devouring people alive !!" The more he talked, the more excited he became.
"By the time we reacted and ran, half of the people were already dead......"
At this point, the man fell silent and stopped talking.
Ren Xiaobai, who had just entered the house, and Li Ben and Gao Bin at home were also silent.
Although in these last days, everyone is trying to prepare for death, and they think that they can calmly accept the departure of those around them.
But when they suddenly realized that their fellow citizens, who had been living in their neighborhood the day before, would suddenly never return, a sense of empathetic grief spread through the room.
A person who once smiled at you suddenly became a memory of you, and his name only became a code name you shouted when reminiscing.
The inability to touch, the inability to call, that huge sense of loss, is why people don't want to face loss.
"Woo woo, why? Why are so many terrible zombies popping up all of a sudden? An Miao sat on the ground and couldn't stop sobbing.
Her crying broke the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and Ren Xiaobai couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart when he thought of bangs, but he forcibly suppressed it, because he had more important things to do now.
"You said you saw a giant zombie? Can you tell us more about that? ”
Ren Xiaobai didn't know what answer he wanted to hear, no matter what the answer was, he didn't want to face it, but he had to ask clearly.
"......", the man was silent for a moment, "a white zombie that looks like it has thick skin, and our attack is useless at all. ”
"No hair," he recalled...... There were blood scabs all over his body, and some strips of cloth hung from them, which looked like torn clothes...... Belly is big...... Holding a large wooden stick in his hand, like a chair leg, it was so powerful that no one who was attacked by it could come back. ”
Chen Ruonan interjected at this time, "Can you tell if the zombie was a man or a woman before he died?" ”
"Of course it's a man," the man looked at them quizzically.
Ren Xiaobai exchanged glances with Gao Fan, Chen Ruonan and others, and a dark cloud appeared in his heart.
Turning around again, Ren Xiaobai saw that blood was oozing from a person behind the man, and the clothes at the wound were soaked with blood and had already seeped out!
He knows something about zombies, so he naturally knows that the situation is not good!
"I'm sorry, I should have stopped you this afternoon, and I shouldn't have let you go out on an adventure." Li Ben came over and said to them apologetically.
The man waved his hand, "It's okay, don't comfort us, life and death are fate, we all see it." He and the people behind him looked at each other.
Gao Bin pointed to the food on the table, "Our supplies are not enough, you can take these foods back to solve the urgent need." ”
The man and the others behind him shook their heads, they stood up, and said, "Thank you, but no more. ”
Chen Ruonan was anxious, "You're welcome, it's time like this, eat first and then figure out a way together!" ”
The man chuckled, "We didn't come here to eat, we originally wanted to invite you to deal with that guy tomorrow because of your superb skills." ”
They walked out the door.
"But now, I don't want to."
Ren Xiaobai suddenly understood in his heart, why these people were unwilling to take food.
They are going to avenge those who have died!
Even if you know you're going to die!
"Bang ——!" The door was gently shut, blocking Chen Ruonan, who stood up.
Gao Bin stopped Chen Ruonan, who wanted to rush out, and shook his head at her.
"You let go of me!" She struggled, but was dragged by Gao Bin.
"Let me go! Let me go! ”
"Didn't you hear? They're going to die! Stop them! Come on! ”
"You don't know how terrifying that kind of zombie is, when they go, it's just to die!"
"Stop them!"
Chen Ruonan screamed loudly, her voice piercing everyone in the family deeply.
"Wakao! Calm down! Gao Bin suddenly reprimanded.
He asked solemnly, "What's the use of you stopping them now!" ”
"Their family and friends may have died. They have no motivation or hope to live! ”
"Their hearts are dead, what can you do if you stop them?"
"Why do you stop them from avenging their dead relatives and friends before they die!" Gao Bin, who used to be obedient, is extremely serious at the moment.
"Woo, I don't care," Chen Ruonan suddenly cried, "Is that it...... Just let them die like this, woo woo woo ......"
Gao Bin, who was still menacing just now, suddenly put out the fire, he comforted Chen Ruonan helplessly, and hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.
Ignoring the two who were making a fuss on the side, Ren Xiaobai was staring at the window in a daze at the moment.
In fact, he was talking to the system-
"System, if you are injured by a zombie, you will be infected and become a zombie, right?" He thought about the people who had been attacked by the zombies just now.
[According to the individual's physical condition, it varies from person to person, and there is a 94% probability that ordinary humans will transform into zombies. 】
