Chapter 42: Acceptance of Cheng Sihan
Cheng Sihan's experience is simple. She was a freshman in high school, and when the end came, she was horrified to find that most of the people around her had become zombies, and the rest were basically bitten to death by zombies, so she fled in a hurry and began to wander.
She didn't dare to go to crowded places - that meant there would be more zombies, and she didn't even dare to enter the village, so she could only hide in the wilderness, look for food everywhere, wander from place to place, and be hungry and satisfied.
Until one day, she saw this Subaru. The back seat and trunk are actually full of food, there are soft seats to lie on, and the hard body blocks the sun and wind, this is a paradise!
Cheng Sihan had a full meal in this car, slept comfortably, and was reluctant to leave.
No one or zombies disturbed him for several days, and after the food was wiped out, Zhang Zifeng and others also arrived.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
It is a miracle that such a seemingly powerless girl has been able to live alone until now! She needs to avoid the ubiquitous zombies, avoid being caught by Joeson, find something to eat herself, and even guard against the murder of other survivors.
It can only be said that she is the lucky one who is favored by fate.
"What's next for you?" Ren Fei asked. You have to bend down a little to talk to little Lori, otherwise you will feel condescending.
Cheng Sihan's eyes brightened, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said, "Sister, can you take me in?" I don't want to live in fear anymore! ”
Her voice was crying again, her eyes were filled with tears, she looked directly at Ren Fei's eyes, and her two hands pulled the corners of Ren Fei's clothes at some point, looking pitiful.
Judging from her slightly filthy clothes and slender body, she must have suffered a lot these days.
Where could Ren Fei stand this, and raised his head and cast an inquiring glance at the two men.
Can men say a word? The last days are difficult to survive, and all survivors have an obligation to help, not to mention that the other party is such a cute little girl. Maybe with her, your luck will increase a lot.
After receiving the affirmation, Cheng Sihan's face finally bloomed, and he took Ren Fei's hand and said, "Thank you, sister, you are so good." He came to Xiong Xianming again and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle!" ”
Xiong Xianming's smile that he had just squeezed out froze on his face again, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he roared in his heart: Uncle? Am I not mistaken, am I that old?
Facing the little girl's innocent eyes, Xiong Xianming could only forcibly suppress his anger and squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "You're welcome." ”
Seeing that the man was deflated, Ren Fei forcibly resisted the urge to laugh out loud on the side, held back very hard, and turned his head to look at Zhang Zifeng, but there was no trace of a smile on his face, and he was looking into the distance with a serious face.
Cheng Sihan wanted to thank Zhang Zifeng again, but seeing that his mind was not on his side at all, he consciously shut up.
Ren Fei walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Zifeng?" ”
"Look over there." Zhang Zifeng said as he pointed to the east. Ren Fei looked over, and suddenly felt that her legs were weak, and she almost collapsed on the ground. Xiong Xianming and Cheng Sihan's performance was not much better, their faces were as pale as paper.
Subaru was originally parked here because of the high terrain and the wide view of this road, which is convenient for guarding. Looking into the distance now, I saw a large black patch on the ground where the sky met, which stood out against the background of the clear blue sky and golden wheat fields.
If you look closely, you can see that the plaque is still moving forward slowly, engulfing the golden yellow in front and the back in sight.
Although I can't really see it, everyone knows very well that that huge black patch is all made up of zombies!
Since the end of the world, everyone has never seen so many zombies, as if thousands of troops are advancing. Although it was dozens of miles away, I couldn't even hear the sound, but I could still feel the shock.
With the experience of a few people, I know that the Chosen One can control zombies, and the number is different. Like Lin Xue only brought one war servant, Qiao Sen could command more than a dozen at the same time, and Ren Fei could only briefly order individual zombies to make some moves when he had all his strength, not even half of them.
So will there be a Chosen One who can control thousands of zombies? The situation in front of us seems to provide the answer. All the zombies are moving in the same direction, the pace is unified, the speed is constant, if there is no unified command, I don't believe that Zhang Zifeng is killed.
There is one more piece of evidence. After Zhang Zifeng's mutation, his eyesight has improved a lot, and he can see more clearly than others. The reason why this group of corpses looked black from a distance was because the zombies had all stripped naked, revealing their dark bodies.
Uncommanded zombies don't take their own clothes at all. Now those zombies in the chicken farm, even if their clothes are in tatters, will hang on their bodies in the form of strips of cloth.
There must be the Chosen One commanding them! Maybe he's hiding in the crowd of corpses, or even looking at this side with cold eyes.
Zhang Zifeng felt cold sweat breaking out, and his body unconsciously retreated.
When the number of zombies accumulates to a certain level, the combat effectiveness will change qualitatively. Zhang Zifeng firmly believes that in the face of a corpse tide of this scale, whether it is his crowbar, Zhang Long's gun, or the survivors' convoy, it will become meaningless.
Like the waves of the sea, the tide of corpses will swallow up everything they come across, leaving no slag left.
And the zombies seem to move slowly, but it's actually just because they're too far away. Zhang Zifeng really saw it, they seemed to be running? It's not at all the slow look of the zombies you see on weekdays, it's very similar to the scene of a rapid march in the movie.
Humans should be faster than these zombies if they run at full strength, but their stamina is definitely far behind. Zhang Zifeng even believes that these guys can run all the time, and even run out of fuel in the car, and then rush up.
Such a zombie army is simply an invincible existence. This group of survivors in the village is not enough for them to stuff their teeth.
The only good thing is that the target of the corpses doesn't seem to be here. The direction in which the zombies are heading is the city from which Zhang Zifeng escaped.
Could it be that they want to ransack the entire city? Given the size of the corpse horde, this is not impossible. Those survivors who are still hiding in the corners of the city may not be able to escape.
Everyone has the limits of understanding. These days, the three of them have been living with the survivors near the village, where there are no other zombies or survivors to be seen due to the looting of Jossen, a miser, as if it were a paradise, maintaining its own tranquility.
As everyone knows, the outside world has been changing, and a corpse tide of this scale has actually formed! And the reason why they didn't ransack the village was probably because it was too remote and uninhabited. In a sense, everyone alive now is lucky.
Zhang Zifeng let out a long breath of turbid air and said, "Let's go." Dejectedly, he walked over to the Passat and added, "If they find out, you'll be in trouble." ”
The other three people woke up like a dream and hurried over. Xiong Xianming climbed into the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator with a fire, and the car turned a corner and rushed towards the road, this terrifying scene he didn't want to see anymore.
When the front of the car turned around, he realized that making such a big movement would attract the attention of the zombies? Glancing into the distance, there seemed to be nothing unusual about the corpses, and I don't know if they didn't find it or disdain to pursue it.
On the way back, the car was noticeably quieter.
I came all the way to find something to eat. As a result, I didn't get anything now, but I had an extra mouth to eat, which made people go home in disappointment.
Of course, this is secondary, and the huge tide of corpses haunts everyone's mind like a nightmare. Desperately not thinking about it, but lingering, in front of them, there are only two words to describe:
Despair.
Against it, I don't see any hope of winning yet, so let's nest in the small village first.
The car ran wildly, and gradually the Subaru could not be seen, which also meant that it was getting farther and farther away from the corpses, and everyone's mood finally eased a little. 张子枫 says:
"Don't mention today's matter to anyone else."
Seeing the puzzled glances of the three people, he continued: "Sometimes the truth is too cruel, it's better to keep a hope for everyone." ”
Several people nodded, and Cheng Sihan even covered his mouth, saying that he would never confide a word.
When approaching the village, several people found that many survivors were looking anxiously at the entrance of the village, led by Chu Zhaonan. Seeing the Passat appear, everyone gathered their interest and took the initiative to greet them.
Without waiting for the car to stop, Chu Zhaonan came up, looked into the car, and said, "You guys are back, everyone is worried about death." ”
Behind him, the figures of Zhang Long and Cui Shu appeared. The other two search teams had already completed their mission and returned home because their destination was a neighboring village. And Subaru's location is relatively far away, and Xiong Xianming has come and gone this time, and it is already afternoon.
Several people got out of the car one after another, and others rushed up to shout and ask for warmth. Seeing the concerned expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Zifeng suddenly had a feeling of going home.
At least when I go out, there are still people thinking about themselves, just like the warm little home before. His eyes instantly became moist, and if it weren't for the fact that there were so many people at the scene, he might have cried.
But everyone's attention quickly diverted from him, a pink and tender little Lori naturally has the attribute of attracting everyone's attention.
"Hello everyone, my name is Cheng Sihan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Her self-introduction is neither humble nor arrogant, especially her slightly immature voice, which makes people feel pity.
