Chapter 15: The Price of Selfishness
Looks like it's going to crash! After a staggering tail flick, the blood-stained Rolls-Royce let out a piercing tire burning sound and staggered to a halt in the middle of the road.
"Get out of ......"
I kicked the car door and jumped down to pull Huanhuan first, and hurriedly looked back, only to see the black corpses rushing towards us like a flood, and the earth-shattering roar was even more shocking than a grand concert.
"Don't look at it! Run......"
The crowd who got out of the car immediately after them screamed in panic and rushed towards a yellow pickup truck on the side of the road, but before we could get closer, several living corpses in reflective vests jumped out from behind the car and lunged at us!
"Kill !!!!"
Wu Meng shouted and snatched the steel pipe in Ma Tengfei's hand, without the slightest flinch, he picked up the steel pipe in his hand with fierce eyes and bravely met it, and in the blink of an eye, he put down a zombie who rushed to the front, but when he wanted to move forward bravely, the three zombies pounced side by side, Wu Meng only had time to stab one of them to death in a hurry, and then he wanted to dodge but it was too late, and he was immediately thrown to the ground by two zombies. He fell to the ground and let out a scream, the back of his head hit the ground and almost knocked him out, but fortunately, his dizzy head did not forget to defend, desperately propping up the steel pipe in his hand, and the big mouths of the two zombies bit on it almost at the same time, but he couldn't do it at all if he wanted to fight back, so he could only watch the zombie let go of his mouth and bite him hard.
"Knock~"
I picked up a brick and smashed it on the zombie's head, the two zombies both collided together, rolled off his body, I grabbed the steel pipe, and after killing the remaining zombies, I immediately pulled up the frightened Wu Meng. Kicking the horse that was paralyzed on the ground in fright, he shouted...
"I'm stunned and waiting to die! Come on! ”
I grabbed Huanhuan with my left hand and Wu Meng with my right hand, and quickly ran to the back of the yellow pickup truck, but who the knew that several reflective warning frames had already been placed behind the truck, and there were still four big words on the shelf, all of which were marked with conspicuous red handwriting: "Communication Emergency Repair".
"Isn't it! I'm your fairy board! ”
Two tall blue construction partitions blocked us, cutting off our escape route. We were so angry that we yelled and punched and kicked the two iron plates.
Wang Lei hugged Wu Meng's neck and shook it desperately, crying anxiously: "What should I do!" What to do! ”
"Ah!! We're dead! ”
Ma Tengfei sat on the ground like a shrew and shouted. Huanhuan rushed up and kicked the iron plate, and cried with a "wow". I was so anxious that I spun around in place, and my heart said, what should I do?
Bang! Bang bang!
Suddenly, there was a gunshot from the other side of the iron plate, and everyone froze. Wu Meng said: "There are policemen on the other side!" ”
I said, "No! This is the sound of an automatic rifle, it's the army! ”
Bang bang!
There was another barrage of gunfire, accompanied by the roar of trucks. I immediately smashed the iron plate with a steel pipe, and when they saw me like this, they also picked up the bricks and smashed the iron plate desperately. We do this in the hope that the person on the other side will know that we exist.
"Help! Help me!! ”
Bang bang!
"Squad leader! There's someone over there! ”
We heard the response from the other side, and slammed the iron plate harder. I looked back, oh my god! The black crushing corpses were less than fifty meters away from us.
"The people in the back! Stand back! ”
Buzz!
There was a truck buzzing on the other side of the iron plate, and I reacted immediately, and they were going to hit the iron plate with the truck. I shouted to the others, "Quick! Retreat! ”
I pulled Huanhuan and patted Wu Meng, he also reacted, grabbed Wang Lei and Ma Tengfei, and the five of us ran away.
Bang!
The blue construction iron plate was disconnected from the middle, and a bloodstained camouflage military truck violently crashed out. It kicked up a cloud of dust and I couldn't keep my eyes open.
A fully armed soldier in Type 07 with a Type 95 automatic rifle appeared in our sight.
Bang bang bang!
Three shots were fired in a row, blowing the heads of the three zombies closest to us. He shouted at us, "Quick! Go up from behind the military card! ”
I excitedly ran past him and shouted, "Thank you! Long live the JF Army of the people of country Z! ”
Our mood at this time cannot be described in words, and we quickly ran behind the military card, and two hands were stretched out from it and shouted: "Hurry up!" I'll pull you up! ”
I picked Huanhuan up with both hands, and those two hands dragged her in. I jumped up and grabbed those two hands, and finally got into the car. Then I realized that I was also pulled up by a group of survivors, men and women, old and young, sitting in two rows, their faces full of fear. Wu Meng, Wang Lei, and Ma Tengfei were also pulled up one after another. The five of us were lying directly in the middle of two rows of people, gasping and gasping, and I felt like my lungs were going to explode.
Bang bang!
There were still gunshots outside, and the shouts of the big brother just now.
"Squad leader! There are too many zombies! ”
"That's it! Come on! Ask them if there are any survivors! ”
"Yes!"
The soldier quickly climbed into the co-pilot, turned back to the five of us and asked loudly, "Comrade! Did you know that there are survivors around here? ”
I didn't even think about it, I immediately stood up and shouted back: "Report!" Not...... Not...... Without! ”
He asked again, "Are you sure there are no other survivors?" ”
I replied firmly, "Report!" There really isn't any! ”
He turned around and said to the squad leader in the driver's seat, "Squad leader! It's good to go! ”
"Good! Everyone's holding on! Let's go! ”
Airplanes!
I felt the truck shake violently, and the zombies chasing us farther and farther away until they faded out of sight.
I staggered behind the two big brothers and said, "Two comrades have worked hard! Where are we heading now? ”
The big soldier in the passenger seat looked back at me and smiled, saying, "Go to the safe area fifty kilometers outside the city, there are troops and helicopters, and we can take you to a safer place." ”
I asked, "What's the safer place?" ”
"Shanghai, the largest security zone outside the capital, where there is military protection, there are supplies provided by the state, there are hospitals. Comrades, rest assured! You have a great motherland! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, comrade, thank you! ”
I returned to our group of people with a smile, hooked Wu Meng's shoulder and smirked, and touched Wang Lei and Ma Tengfei's heads again. I know that I am like a madman at the moment, because we are safe, and I want to scream with joy and sing the praises of my great motherland:
"Onward! Forward! Forward! Our team ...... to the sun"
"Chen Yaoyang! You're enough! ”
Huanhuan suddenly scolded me loudly, I felt that there was something wrong with the way she looked at me, and her eyes were actually full of anger and sadness at the moment. I think the atmosphere is a little weird, I looked around at Wu Meng, Wang Lei, and Ma Tengfei, and they all looked at me with the same gaze. The eyes were pointed at me like a knife. I want to hug Huanhuan and ask what's wrong? She forcefully opened my hand and slapped me in the face. I looked at her innocently, and said in my heart, what's wrong with me, everyone looks at me like an enemy. I asked what I thought...
Huanhuan's eyes were full of tears and said to me, "Have you forgotten your blood on the rooftop? Don't your palms hurt? Have you forgotten your promise to me? ”
That's when I realized, yes! The fifteen women on the rooftop, how did I forget them? Huanhuan wiped away the tears from her eyes, glared at me and said, "I'm going to tell those two soldiers that I'm going back to save them!" ”
I pressed her down and hurriedly said, "Do you know how dangerous it is to go back now?" Besides, if we had taken them with us, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the hotel building. Leaving them without them is the wisest choice. ”
"Huh...... You're finally telling the truth, you just think they're a burden, and you're afraid they're going to kill you, right? She gritted her teeth and glared at me word by word and said, "When people asked you just now, why didn't you say that there were still people, why?" ”
"I forgot, no! What do I have to do with them? Why should I go back and die for them? I'm not that great! I told them on the rooftop that they can't sit back and wait for the world to be peaceful, and they are already very merciful and righteous! ”
She smiled disdainfully and said, "Chen Yaoyang, you are a scumbag!" ”
I was a little annoyed and said loudly: "Li Huanhuan! Lao Tzu is not for you! Do you know how tired I am in order to get you, a mud bodhisattva, downstairs? Can you think about it for me! ”
I couldn't restrain my emotions anymore, and hysterically reprimanded Li Huanhuan, Wu Meng, Wang Lei, and Ma Tengfei loudly: "I just want to do my best to save the people I care about, what's wrong with me?" You are so selfless, why did people ask me just now, why didn't any of you speak? They are all afraid of death, they are all selfish, I have been this sinner for you, I admit it! But the basin can't be buckled on my head alone! ”
Ma Tengfei asked me unexpectedly: "If it weren't for the fact that I had a car in the parking lot, you wouldn't have taken me away at all, right?" ”
I grabbed him by the collar and said viciously, "Yes! I'll tell you, surnamed Ma, Lao Tzu just doesn't like you! If you hadn't had a car, I wouldn't have cared if you lived or died! Who do you think you are? Do I know you well? ”
He actually glared at me and smiled contemptuously and said, "Humph! I thought that my Ma Tengfei was a bastard enough, but I didn't expect that your little master Chen Yaoyang was even more bastard than me. ”
"The surname is Ma! I'll kill you! ”
I exploded, I was out of control, and I wanted to vent all my anger and what I thought was wronged on him. But when I just raised my fist to fight, Wu Meng actually grabbed my fist and blocked it in front of Ma Tengfei.
I was amazed and sad that my best brother was on his side!
"Yaoyang, I thank you for still caring about me and Wang Lei, but you really disappointed me and Huanhuan this time. Chen Yaoyang...... I, Wu Meng, don't have a brother like you......"
Wang Lei also said: "Yes...... Yaoyang, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. In addition to Zhang Yihui, do you remember those who died for everyone on the rooftop? Do you remember their names? ”
Huan Huan burst into tears, and his little fist kept smashing on me: "Chen Yaoyang, you bastard!" I...... Why do I like you bastard, why do I trust you bastard so much! Why do I love you so much even though I know you're a bastard! Woo woo woo ~ "
It dawned on me that maybe I was really wrong, that I thought I was doing a good job and that I was ignoring the feelings of the people around me. I always impose what I think is good on others, they are not wrong, I am a jerk. It wasn't that I forgot my promise that disappointed them, it was my selfishness.
"Huanhuan, I ......"
Syllable!
"Get out! There you go! I don't want to see you! I'm sick to see you! ”
She slapped me again, and my heart ached, like being bitten by ten thousand ants. They took Huanhuan away from me, leaving me alone to sit where I was. Sadness, self-blame, loneliness took possession of me, as if deep into the marrow and devoured my poor soul.
……
"All gay men get off!"
Camouflage military trucks stopped in front of four charred buses, and charred corpses lay on the windows, the stench of burnt mixed with the stench of decomposing corpses, attracting countless flies to nest on them, and wriggling maggots were shocking.
The soldier stood in front and said, "Comrades! We're going to have to find a way to get out of the way. ”
I said in my heart, "How can four buses be so easy to move away?"
The squad leader jumped out of the car and said, "Comrades! We went around looking for some tools and came back, we all stayed in the car, didn't go anywhere, and in five minutes we would come back whether we found it or not. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Okay, let's go!"
……
Wu Meng, Ma Tengfei, and Wang Lei were the only young and strong people in the car, so we stood outside the car on guard.
From time to time, I looked at Huanhuan in the military card, she kept crying, I was really worried that she would cry her eyes badly if she cried like this. I was about to go over to comfort her, when suddenly Wu Meng said, "Attention! There are zombies in the alley on the left! ”
We all looked over and there were really three zombies. Wu Meng whispered: "Wang Lei, you don't have to go, Ma Tengfei and Chen Yaoyang, let's quietly touch them and kill them." ”
After saying that, he picked up a brick and slowly touched it first, and Ma Tengfei and I also picked up a brick and followed. We went around behind the three zombies, and Wu Meng took the lead in rushing over, "Bang! "Down with one," Bang! Bang! "Ma Tengfei and I also knocked down one each. I watched in amazement as Ma Tengfei, this guy actually dared to attack zombies. Wu Meng smashed the zombies' heads like crazy, and after a while, the heads of the three zombies were smashed by him, and the white and red flowed all over the ground.
"Uhh
Behind us was another zombie roar, and I shouted, "I'll go!" ”
Bang!
There was a huge pain in the back of my head, as if I had been smashed, and the ground was getting closer and closer to my sight, and suddenly it was dark in front of me, and I fainted......
