Chapter 2: The Light of Humanity in Hell
Hell is just around the corner!
In the huge space, countless indistinguishable corpses were piled high together, flesh, bones, internal organs, mixed with fragments of clothes, and strangely colored liquids mixed together oozing out from the huge corpse pile, dripping, and gathering on the ground, rotting and stinking, and the flickering lights kept flashing the scene in front of them, like a nightmare that kept appearing and disappearing.
Dozens of backs lay there, the terrifying sounds of biting, chewing, and swallowing kept coming out, as well as crazy smells and sound images, all of which merged together to disintegrate people's nerves. This is not already a human world, but a hell, the lowest level of cannibal hell.
And the most numbing thing is that on the opposite side of the pile of corpses, there are some people huddled in the corner, their dull gaze, the filth all over the ground, making them look as if they are dead, their souls have dissipated in boundless fear, leaving only these relatively fresh flesh, waiting to be torn, chewed and swallowed.
Now that the virus has changed, the dead will no longer be monsters, and the living dead will only become food for the monsters that have grown up when they die physically. And the monsters have also learned to hoard food, and they have completely become a race, a race of monsters that feed on humans, and natural enemies of humans.
After his wife and children left his side, Meng Qingqiang found that his humanity was gradually disappearing, and feelings such as pity, happiness, friendliness, cordiality, and even anger were slowly leaving his body, but at this moment, in the face of this hellish scene, a cognition called "person" surged in his heart again, he couldn't accept it, even if this kind of picture didn't bring him fear, the terrible smell wouldn't make him feel unbearable, but those empty eyes deeply stimulated his mind, Humanity is re-revealed in this moment.
The anger has exploded, he put down the sword in his hand, he wants to use his hands, human hands, to destroy the evil spirits in front of him, only to tear them to pieces, and then use human feet to crush into pulp, can he vent the anger in his heart.
The killing was reflected in the empty eyes in the corner, but a hysterical smile gradually appeared on the stiff face, mad with fear and happy with destruction.
Meng Qingqiang vented the anger in his heart without any scruples, because as long as this anger is still there, he still retains the bottom line as a human being, and the killing starts from the conference room, the corridor, the room. He didn't let go of every corner of the base, a few huge roars rang out, he returned to the ground, and found several giants who had returned from foraging outside, from night to early morning, his body had been covered with dark green liquid, and the ruined base had been completely turned into ruins in the battle.
The morning sun rose slowly, Meng Qingqiang stood in a deep pit, one foot heavier than the other, stepping on the body under his feet, a thin spiritual body barrier blocked the body under his feet, it seemed that this guy used to be a decent person, because although it has become a monster now, it still maintains the habit of wearing a suit.
"Why... You're so clear ... Like us, even more advanced than us, why should we. Destroy us, you are ... Our... Brother! The words came out intermittently, but Meng Qingqiang still stepped silently, the fluctuation of the barrier became bigger and bigger, and finally in a sound like broken glass, he stepped through the flesh with one foot, and a painful wail sounded from the deep pit, followed by the sound of a broken head, and everything was quiet for a while. The mutants throughout the base, regardless of their kind, have been reduced to fragments.
Returning to the hellish conference room again, the people in the corner were still huddled together, Meng Qingqiang picked up the short sword on the side, walked in front of these people, and looked at the dull eyes of these people sitting on their own excretion and vomit. He raised the sword in his hand and stabbed them to death with one sword at a time.
These people were already dead, and after coming to this place, they died in terror and madness. Even if the flesh is alive, in the last days, they are dead. The current Meng Qingqiang just let them die more completely.
The sharp blade pierced into one body after another, in exchange for a relieved smile on the sluggish face, Meng Qingqiang's heart was sad, until he came to the deepest corner, everything in front of him made him, who was already a little numb, feel fluctuated in an instant.
The huge iron filing cabinet and the corner of the wall form a small space, and there are two chairs on the outside of the space, blocking the space, an unkempt middle-aged woman, sitting on one side, one arm hanging weakly to the side, the other is raised, reaching into the small space through the gap in the chair, the woman is already in the dying, breathing extremely weak.
The lights came on again, the woman raised her head with great effort, and found that there was a figure in front of her, subconsciously twisting her body, trying to block in front of the chair, but she was too weak, and the meaningless twisting made her body fall to the ground, the light went out, but soon it was lit up again, and the woman finally found that the figure in front of her was not those monsters, but a one-eyed man with a big sword that she had never seen before, and after realizing that it was a person in front of her, the woman struggled hard, hoarse to the extreme, and let out a dry low sound, A hand jerked at the small space.
Meng Qingqiang stretched out his hand and pulled out the chair, in the small space, a thin girl curled up inside, hearing the voice, the girl raised her head, two unfocused eyes, looking around, this is a blind girl, it can be seen that although the girl is also relatively weak, but the spirit is fine, in this hell may be a good thing.
The girl called in a low voice: "Mom~~ Mom? Is that you? Meng Qingqiang looked at the dried blood stains on the girl's mouth, and then looked back at the woman's bloody wrist, and thought of what had happened in front of him: a fearful mother bit her wrist without food in order to block her daughter in a small space, and fed her own blood to her blind daughter, leaving her last chance of life. For a while, Meng Qingqiang's eyes were a little moist, this is a human being, even in the deepest hell, there is still the light of human nature, which is also the reason why he has always insisted on his bottom line as a human being.
Meng Qingqiang, who turned around, touched the woman's pulse, everything calmed down, the woman consumed her last life in the struggle just now, maybe it was also because of Meng Qingqiang's appearance that she could finally put her mind at ease, and the great mother left the personnel quietly.
Listening to the girl's whispered and anxious cry in his ear, Meng Qingqiang took out a small instrument from his arms, pointed the sharp needle of the instrument most accurately at his wrist, pressed down the tail with his thumb, only to hear a piercing friction sound, the sharp and hard needle pierced into the skin, bringing out a drop of black blood, Meng Qingqiang said softly while dripping the blood to the woman's wrist
"Little girl, don't be afraid, your mother is so tired that she is asleep, you are safe now, uncle has killed all the monsters. What's your name? ”
"My name is Li Xiaozhen, uncle, you can just call me Zhenzhen"
"The environment here is so bad, I'll take you to find a clean place first, and then I'll bring your mother over too, okay?"
"Okay, thank you, uncle." The girl nodded obediently and replied, and then Meng Qingqiang took the girl to a clean room in the base, let her lie on the bed to rest, and after walking out of the room, he did not return to pick up the mother as soon as possible, and the transformation will take time.
Meng Qingqiang found a few sets of clothes, and then scavenged for useful items, food, fuel, improvised medicines, weapons and ammunition. On the way here, Meng Qingqiang found that there were trailers hanging behind several military off-road vehicles, and he was going to take one to hang on the beast, although the beast was powerful, but the carrying capacity was still too poor, which caused him to spend a lot of time on the way to replenish, and with the trailer, the situation would improve a lot, and the mother and son could not sit on the beast.
At this time, Meng Qingqiang felt that the mother had completed the transformation, but unexpectedly she did not act on her own without Meng Qingqiang's instructions, and after Meng Qingqiang gathered the materials, he returned to the girl's room with some food, medicine and clothes.
When he came to the room, he found that the woman had already arrived, and was gently stroking the girl's forehead. Feeling the woman's heart, he found that although he had transformed into a black hand, as an ordinary person, his memories and attachments to children had not completely disappeared like normal black hands, although she may have forgotten the past and herself, but she still remembered her daughter, Meng Qingqiang was no longer too surprised by this, some human obsessions are so powerful.
The water in the bathroom in the room was a little muddy, but fortunately it was still working normally. After instructing the woman to go into the bathroom for herself and the girl to freshen up, Meng Qingqiang left her clothes, some food, and medicine. He returned to the base once more and began to scrutinize the scattered materials in the rooms.
It can be seen that at the beginning of the evacuation, the materials were either taken away or destroyed. There is basically no useful information left, and in the end, it is still in the weapons warehouse, Meng Qingqiang found a transport note, which recorded that a batch of weapons had been recently transported from a base in the southwest to here, and from other data analysis, this base in the southwest is a large base, Meng Qingqiang believes that even if it is not the headquarters of the research institute, it should be a relatively important stronghold, for this attack of the mutant, it is very likely that it is still in the hands of humans, this discovery made him a little excited.
By the wall of the base, Meng Qingqiang stood next to the beast, and the trailer behind him was full of supplies and a mother and daughter who had been refreshed. And the girl's mother is named Choi Young. They weren't captured by monsters, they were sent by the villagers. In this regard, Meng Qingqiang decided to go there.
He was silent for a moment, then flicked the cigarette butt out, leaving behind a base that had already burned into flames, already spilled with fuel inside and out, especially the hellish rooms.
The flames kept burning, huge explosions sounded from time to time, black smoke rose into the sky with countless souls, and Meng Qingqiang, who was sitting on the beast, took the mother and daughter to the same way they came.
