Chapter 25 Missing
Toilet on the sixth floor of Longxing Shopping Mall:
The old white tiles were covered with black handprints, the floor was littered with unnamed pieces of meat, a forearm was lying in a garbage can, the hands of an expensive watch were still working on his wrist, and his owner might have become a piece of meat on the ground.
A young man was standing naked in front of the sink, his spotless pants looking extremely abrupt in this purgatory-like scene on earth, and even the military boots under the young man's feet were polished.
Wu Xin turned on the faucet and watched the yellowed water gradually become clear, so he picked it up, washed his face, and then drank it.
This water source was only known from Xiao Glasses and others, because Chen Jiang and a few people occupied the drinking water and did not let them use it. Later, they were so thirsty that they had to drink tap water, but the imaginary mutation did not happen. But even so, Chen Jiang treats tap water like a treasure and doesn't let them use it too much.
This is also why Xiao Glasses and others are always unkempt, while Chen Jiang and others are always clean.
After drinking a hearty drink, Wu Xin stood up, shook the water droplets on his face, and looked at the glass in front of the sink.
The glass was blurred by blood splashing, Wu Xin frowned, wiped a few handfuls, but found that the blood had been hanging here for a long time, and it had coagulated.
It took a long time to pick it up.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Wu Xin's eyes showed confusion and strangeness.
The young man in the mirror is not handsome, but it is still attractive, the original delicate appearance has faded in the crawling and rolling between life and death, replaced by a kind of indifference, between the eyebrows there is no longer the childishness of the past, but there is a cold murderous aura. The muscles of the naked upper body are clear, and the large and small scars are dissolved on the body.
An ugly scar tens of centimeters long crawled on the shoulder like a caterpillar, and there were more gray hairs in what should have been jet-black hair.
Wu Xin smiled and said to himself: "Wu Xin, what have you experienced in the past month or so. ”
Then he shook his head and put on his shirt.
It's December 31st, and 2016 is about to begin.
The end times have been happening for more than forty days, and we don't know when this crisis will end.
Wu Xin walked out of the toilet and pushed open the window in the corridor, the air without human pollution was exceptionally fresh, but the world was not beautiful. The city's high-rise buildings are deserted, and many water pipes have burst, causing moss to grow on the buildings. The roads are littered with abandoned cars, and zombies roam the streets hollowly.
The whole city is like a dead city, lifeless, some are just zombies.
"What a shitty world......"
Wu Xin lit a cigarette and watched the familiar city become like this, his heart was complicated.
'Huhuhu'
A burst of wind came from the sky, what sound, Wu Xin looked up suspiciously, and was so shocked that the cigarette in his mouth fell, and he didn't know. A Z-8 helicopter is hovering in the sky!
Wu Xin was shocked, this is the helicopter of the armed police! Could it be that the official came to the rescue! Then he shouted happily: "Here, here!" ”
However, Zhi 8 did not stop, and a loudspeaker stretched out of the window: "All survivors, all survivors, at present, the temporary refuge camp in N City has been set up, and it is at the armed police base in the northern suburbs, if anyone hears it, please try your best to go to the armed police base in the northern suburbs, there is a ......"
In the second half, Wu Xin didn't have the heart to listen to it, his mind was full of the armed police base in the northern suburbs, and the government still existed! It's like a person who has lost hope and suddenly finds that there is salvation.
Wu Xin was so excited that he spun back and forth for a while: "Great, there is still salvation, I knew that the official would not be destroyed so easily!" ”
Then he seemed to think of something and ran towards the office.
Outside the office, everyone was surrounding Niu Er, listening to Niu Er's lecture on the experience of killing zombies, and Wu Xin, who was dancing with his hands, showed doubts in his eyes.
Liang Qiucheng asked, "What's the matter, it's like winning five million." ”
This is the first time since the end of the world to see Wu Xin so out of shape, Wu Xin said with a fluttering eyebrow: "It's saved, the government is still alive!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wu Xin with a foolish expression.
"There is a Z-8 helicopter of the armed police outside the window broadcasting, and the temporary survivor base in N City has been set up, and it is the armed police base in the northern suburbs!"
Xue Xiang asked excitedly, "It's really fake!" Damn, Brother Xin, don't lie to me. ”
Wu Xin grabbed Xue Xiang's collar, dragged him to the window of an office and said, "See for yourself!" ”
The rest of the people also gathered around, each with their necks stretched out to look out the window, their faces unable to hide their excitement.
Sure enough, a camouflage-colored Z-8 helicopter in the sky was shouting incessantly, and although it was already far away, it could still be faintly heard.
"All survivors, all survivors......"
Niu Er asked, "Liang Qiucheng, you pinch me to see if I'm dreaming." ”
Liang Qiucheng pinched Niu Er's abdomen with a wicked smile, and then twisted it hard, Niu Er screamed miserably, and then shouted excitedly: "It's not a dream, I'm grass, it's true." ”
Zhou Qing and Mi Meng burst into tears excitedly, even Tan Bingbing, who had always been cold, smiled, and Wu Xin hugged Xue Xiang: "How about it, brother didn't lie to you!" ”
Xue Xiang's face was about to laugh: "Brother Xin, I knew you wouldn't lie to me." ”
Everyone was excited for half an hour before they calmed down.
Xue Xiang asked, "Brother Xin, when are we going to the northern suburbs?" ”
After everyone heard this, they all looked at Wu Xin, Wu Xin glanced at everyone's expressions, he actually didn't recommend setting off early, although Yuan Yeye and the others had made great progress in training in the past few days, it was still difficult to overcome the fear in their hearts, and it was difficult to face an ordinary zombie alone.
This road is absolutely dangerous, and even I don't have the confidence to reach it. And if you go out in such a hurry, I'm afraid that a lot of people will die along the way.
However, looking at everyone's expressions and eagerly wanting to go out now, even Niu Er was happy, and his face turned red with excitement.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Tomorrow, I'll pack everything up tonight, but I have something to say before I go——"
Wu Xin looked at everyone and said solemnly: "There are nine of us, we are all companions, so we naturally have to support each other, if I find that someone has the ability to save people but does not save them, I will be the first to kick him out of the team." And don't scream in panic when you're in danger, and don't run around, or we won't save you. Also, be mentally prepared, we will die nine times this time. ”
The armed police base in the northern suburbs is backed by the Songshan Mountain Range, which is dozens of kilometers away from here, which is equivalent to passing diagonally through the entire urban area, and it is not easy to pass through the city.
Once you enter the city, you will face nearly a million zombies.
The nine of them could be torn apart when they encountered a group of 100 corpses, let alone once they collided with a tide of thousands of corpses.
Everyone's face changed, only then calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, the joy in their hearts gradually disappeared, and turned into a sense of panic, a road of dozens of kilometers, across the entire city, just thinking about it can make people's legs tremble.
This is not an ivory tower in a mall with various fire doors at its back, this is to go out with your head and play for your life.
Even if they really go to the armed police base, how many of them will still be alive.
This is not a happy journey, it can already be called the road to death.
Xue Xiang's face turned pale, and he was interrupted by Wu Xin just as he wanted to speak.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, today is December 31st, have a good New Year's Eve, pack up tomorrow and we'll set off."
Wu Xin said that, and then took the lead and walked out, leaning against the wall, looking at the ceiling.
Liang Qiucheng walked to Wu Xin's side, looked at Wu Xin with a gloomy face, handed him a cigarette, and muttered for a long time: "What's wrong, there is pressure." ”
Wu Xin nodded with a wry smile and took a hard puff on his cigarette: "I don't know the bottom of this journey, you pushed me out to be the captain of the team, I naturally have to take responsibility." ”
Liang Qiucheng patted Wu Xin's shoulder: "Don't put too much pressure, the most important thing is to let yourself live first in the last days." ”
Wu Xin glanced at Liang Qiucheng in surprise, he was not such a person in his memory.
Liang Qiucheng held a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes were confused: "What's the matter, you think I shouldn't say this?" In fact, human nature is selfish, and human beings are the most powerful creatures on the earth, so don't care so much, just have a clear conscience. ”
Wu Xin shook his head, a little unacceptable: "Since they believe in me, I will try my best to let everyone live." ”
Liang Qiucheng shrugged: "Don't tease, they believe you?" It's just that you're just the leader, they only have this one choice, and they're not loyal to you, and they won't save you if you're in a critical moment. ”
Wu Xin closed his eyes, his thoughts were confused, and he stopped talking.
He understands the truth better than anyone else, but if he really wants to do it, he can't do it, he can be ruthless in the face of the enemy, although he doesn't think he is a good person, but he can't be iron-hearted.
——
At night, everyone sat around the office, the camping lights were placed in the middle of the crowd, and everyone's dinner was nothing more than a piece of bread sprinkled with salt and a glass of tap water, but everyone had long since stopped asking for food, as long as they could eat it.
The atmosphere was a little depressing, and people were full of thoughts, munching on bread and thinking about something.
Wu Xin looked at the time on his watch, it was eleven o'clock, and then looked out the window.
The city at night became a carnival of zombies and animals, and the zombies in the streets became agitated, and the roars appeared all over the city. You can even hear the roar in the hallway.
Many mutated wild animals on the road are also active, and mutated birds can be seen in the sky from time to time.
The world is really different!
Wu Xin suddenly recalled last year's day, when he was sitting at a barbecue stall with Cui Fatzi and Xu Lang while bragging.
I remember that I had just applied for a security guard at the crematorium, and Cui Fatzi also became a jobless vagrant after beating the boss because of the boss's arrears of wages, while Xu Lang ran for insurance.
Time flies so fast, it's New Year's Eve again, I just don't know if the two of you are still alive now.
Wu Xin looked at the full moon outside the window, raised his glass and said, "Xu Lang, Cui Fatzi, I hope you two are still alive, don't die!" ”
Wu Xin's actions seemed to resonate with everyone, and they all raised their glasses to the full moon, expressing their hopes and thoughts for their relatives.
"Mom and Dad, you must live, you must!"
"Mom, I don't know what happened to you and my dad in Lucheng, but your son is still alive, and he will go to the officially established shelter tomorrow......
Speaking of this, the water cup in Xue Xiang's hand fell to the ground, and tears flowed from his eyes: "Mom and Dad, I miss you!" ”
Everyone also left tears, and Mi Meng threw herself into Wu Xin's arms and sobbed.
"Dad, I miss you so much......"
