Chapter 44: Fireflies, Shine in the Twilight Sky
The sound of corpses, gunfire, screams of survivors and the sound of buildings collapsing, the complete fall of the base, all kinds of voices intertwined, and the battlefield was noisy.
From south to north, from outside the city walls to the center of the base, Xia Fei didn't know how many lives she had killed, and corpses were scattered all around her.
The soldiers in military uniforms, the zombies in rags, and the survivors running in all directions were no longer the slightest difference in front of her, and they were all turned into part of the corpses everywhere in the end.
The sky had begun to turn a little yellow, and the sun was gradually setting, and I don't know if it was because of the blood, and even the clouds had turned into a fiery color.
Xia Fei kept running, killing, the end of each black giant blade turned red, blood flowing down the tip of the blade, and then covered with new blood, the whole battlefield was like a picture of hell.
I don't know how long it took to kill, Xia Fei stopped, there was no more silence in his ears, no more gunshots, no more cries, and even the ubiquitous roar of corpses in the past disappeared.
At this time, there was no life standing on the battlefield except for her, looking at the corpses everywhere, the black giant blade behind Xia Fei slowly shrank, and finally disappeared into her back.
The ground was full of viscous blood, and even if the base had built a drainage system, it could not drain this blood, as if she couldn't notice anything strange under her feet, Xia Fei stepped on the road paved with corpses, and her body shook slightly.
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire rang out from the ruins not far away, Xia Fei's eyes flashed red, and a sharp blade that emitted a ghostly light extended from behind his back and blocked in front of him.
The bullet hit the blade, sending a flickering spark, and in the direction where the gunfire came, Xia Fei saw the figure of a soldier.
At this time, the soldier was naked, his camouflage pants were already tattered, and his exposed bronzed skin was covered with scars, some were scratches, some were bites, and the soldier's lips had begun to swell, and corpse spots began to appear on his body.
Are there any people alive......
With a cold gaze in her eyes, Xia Fei stepped on the corpses everywhere and came to the front of the ruins.
The soldier looked at her and struggled to pull a saber from his waist without a trace of fear on his face.
"It's a pity...... The ...... Bullet...... It would have been...... It belongs to me. The soldier's hands holding the saber trembled uncontrollably, as if they could fall to the ground at any moment, but his body still did not take a step back: "Hold ...... Sorry, I can't ...... anymore Unable...... Protect you. ”
Xia Fei stopped, his eyes fell on the soldier's back, in the corner of the ruins, huddled in a baby wrapped in a military uniform, the two of them were surrounded by zombie corpses, most of them were shot through the head, and many of them had their heads cut off.
The baby's body was already a little blue, his wide eyes were not moving at all, he didn't cry or make a fuss, and the military uniform that wrapped him was already stained red with blood, and it was obvious that the baby had been dead for a long time.
Maybe it was a stray bullet, maybe it was some other cause of death, who knows, on such a battlefield, maybe no one will care about him except for this soldier who has been guarding him.
But until the death of the soldiers, they did not realize that the person they desperately wanted to protect had been dead for a long time.
A flash of amazement flashed in Xia Fei's eyes, the world is like this, no matter how hard you try, how desperate or unwilling, but the result can't change anything.
"Three consecutive two shifts...... Request...... Offensive. The soldier squirmed his lips hard, and a hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat, and then with a saber in his hand, he walked towards Xia Fei with great difficulty.
The soldier's body had already begun to shake, and even if Xia Fei didn't make a move, it was unlikely that he would walk in front of Xia Fei, let alone launch an attack.
The violence in his eyes gradually faded, Xia Fei was expressionless, and a long sharp blade stretched out from his back, which hung above the soldier's head in an instant.
However, it has not fallen for a long time.
As if noticing the blade dangling overhead, the soldier clutched his saber in one hand, the cold light on the blade flickering in the light of the only remaining sunlight.
As if to change his mind, Xia Fei turned the stab into a slap and struck the soldier in the chest.
The body flew up, like a kite with a broken string, drawing a graceful line in the air.
The blade slowly dissipated, and Xia Fei's pupils slowly turned into her original color.
"Don't you kill him?" Lu Ming appeared beside Xia Fei, looking at the soldiers struggling on the ground in the distance, trying to get up.
Xia Fei didn't reply, wrinkles crawled all over her skin, and her black hair turned pale in an instant.
"Yes, it's not necessary anyway." Sighing, Lu Ming raised his palm slightly, and the corpses all over the city floated, as if controlled by a nameless force, forming a regular circle around Xia Fei.
Xia Fei stood in the middle, his body was aging rapidly, and his wrinkled face still vaguely retained the beauty of the past, but a pair of eyes had lost their former agility.
"Good night."
Stretching out two slender fingers, Lu Ming lightly tapped on Xia Fei's eyebrows, and then the body that had lost all its vital characteristics slowly fell, and the moment it fell to the ground, the blood on the ground automatically flowed to the side, as if she didn't dare to pollute her pure body.
She walked very cleanly, cleaner than most people in the apocalypse, and she was worthy of her clean life.
Lu Ming closed her eyes for her, and even put her hands on her lower abdomen, which can be regarded as completing a ritual, after all, this is also his first host.
After all, he is also a person who he doesn't hate very much and even likes a little.
Blood was still flowing, and the sound of collapsing buildings and scorched by the flames of war could be heard from time to time.
A flash of fire rose out of nowhere, gradually spreading, eventually covering the entire base.
The flames burned the corpse black, and Xia Fei was not spared, but her face was so intact in the flames, as if even the flames of the city were reluctant to hurt her.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and corpses, disgusting, and the fire spread and spread out of the city, igniting the tide of dead corpses, setting the woods on fire, and setting the rivers and land on fire.
The flames were overwhelming, as if they could burn everything, and even the sun fell in a hurry as if it was evading, and it should have been dark, but the fire illuminated the heavens and the earth.
A topless figure slowly walked out of the flames, and as he went, the corpse spots on his skin fell all the way, as if he was sending off the emperor, and the flames in the sky parted to both sides, dividing a path that only allowed one person to pass.
The figure did not have the slightest nostalgia, and did not even look back, and soon disappeared into the distant night.
