"Awake?"
Familiar voices, familiar faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For a moment, Yang Xiaoqian thought that he would be abandoned by Yu Qian in the tide of corpses.
"Where's my dad?" Yang Xiaoqian asked the first sentence when he woke up.
"It's really a father-son relationship." Yu Qian pointed in one direction, "I'm cooking." ”
Cook? Yang Xiaoqian finally woke up from his dazed state, looked around, and it turned out that he was not in the base, but in a luxuriously decorated big house.
"Next time, don't put my dad in danger, not at all." Yang Xiaoqian said solemnly that as an awakened person, he felt that he had the qualifications to negotiate conditions.
Sure enough, Yu Qian nodded and responded: "I won't let him do dangerous things, but in this last world, whether there is danger or not is not something we say." ”
"Thank you." Yang Xiaoqian thanked him inexplicably, and in retrospect, he understood that Yu Qian had actually taken measures to protect him at that time.
"Help each other, maybe one day you will save me." Yu Qian waved his hand and said, "I have to tell you something, now I know why the living corpses were stranded four hundred years ago. ”
It took nearly twenty minutes for Yu Qian to finish telling a series of things after the dome descended and Yang Xiaoqian fell into a coma.
At this time, twenty hours had passed since the outbreak of the corpse tide, and on the way to the base, Yu Qian and the others encountered a wave of corpses rushing from the direction of another hospital, and had no choice but to give up the plan to return directly to the base, found a nearby single-family villa and broke in, forcibly occupied the villa with the threat of guns and bullets, and waited for Yang Xiaoqian's recovery.
"What a wave of corpses?" Yang Xiaoqian asked, he was eager to know everything he could in order to make the best judgment.
"I don't have time to do the math, maybe one or two hundred." Yu Qian gave an approximate figure.
"One or two hundred living corpses will make you retreat?" Yang Xiaoqian thought that Yu Qian's combat strength was unparalleled, and he was surprised.
Yu Qian pouted and said: "The ability is not unlimited, excessive use will inevitably lead to collapse or even serious injury, just like you." After thinking about it, Yu Qian still added: "But I worked hard, and it was no problem to kill one or two hundred living corpses, but there was no need, after all, that king couldn't trust anything." ”
Yang Xiaoqian nodded in agreement, then his face was solemn, and he said, "I want to say something." ”
"Say."
"We have to change our attitude, we not only have to save the awakened, but we also have to do our best to save everyone who can be saved, even if it is a risk." Yang Xiaoqian said something that he couldn't believe with his pale chapped lips, obviously he didn't want to be a hero anymore, why did fate make such a joke, just let himself stay at the base honestly and survive the crisis? The answer to reality is brutal: no.
At this time, very few people in the city were aware of this, but the truth was clear and sad: if all those who could rescue others decided to focus on themselves, no one in Yuanjiang would be able to escape the doom of death.
"What?" Yu Qian thought that he had misheard, after a few days of getting along, he understood very well that Yang Xiaoqian was just a layman with brains, who loved to be showy and tossed, a layman like him, talking about heroes and heroes, but in fact, he didn't have a heart to save the world and help the people in his heart, most of the considerations were under the guise of saving the world, but in essence, starting from personal interests.
Even if it is to rescue and gather the awakened to resist foreign invasion, the first purpose is to develop better for itself.
At this time, he said that even if he took the risk, he would go out of his way to save ordinary people who had nothing to do with it? Did the ability to awaken burn out the brain?
"If we don't save it, we'll kill ourselves." Yang Xiaoqian began to explain.
"With logistical support and a stable command system, it is easy for the state apparatus to completely eliminate these zombies, in the final analysis, they are all creatures that can be physically destroyed, and after being released to cover them with artillery fire, the blockade line will be reduced, and they will soon be exterminated - after all, it is the early stage of infection, and the number of zombies cannot be too much."
"But now, the dome blocks all logistical transportation, and the ammunition is limited, I think it is impossible for the troops who originally entered the city to carry out the blockade peacekeeping mission to carry a large amount of ammunition, after all, it is not a war, and no one expected that there would be a dome."
"If zombies are allowed to infect others everywhere, no one can escape the fate of death in this prison that cannot be escaped."
"And, as you said before, this dome will eventually disappear, right? Imagine the terrifying tide of corpses after all the inhabitants of Yuanjiang were transformed into zombies and the dome disappeared. ”
"Maybe you will say that it's not a big deal, didn't there be one time four hundred years ago, and it was completely annihilated by the army of the ancient Ming Dynasty, but! How many people were there in Nanjing in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli? How big can a zombie tide be? Even if they had intelligence, what decent weapons would they be able to find? An axe that can barely chop wood, or a sword that breaks copper and iron? ”
"How many people are there in Yuanjiang now? With this population base, how many high-level living corpses with advanced intelligence will appear among the infected people? How many ways can they think of to evade the army, or even sneak up on the army to intercept weapons? Perhaps they can also find a way to drive ordinary living corpses, form a purposeful corpse tide or even besiege them. Back to that question, four hundred years ago, intelligent living corpses couldn't find any decent weapons, and now? They can find artillery, tanks, guns, and bulletproof helmets - and even if they can't find them, there are a lot of helmets on the construction site, right? Can you stop this tide of corpses? ”
"No one can stop it! Everyone is going to die! In the end, Yang Xiaoqian couldn't help but shout, and the fear in his heart finally hit his face.
"Actually, I originally went to the hospital with the intention of contacting the troops to deliver the news, but I didn't expect the corpse tide to break out so quickly, and I didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a dome...... As long as half, nay, one-third of the people in the city are infected as living corpses, we're all done. ”
"I didn't expect that." Yu Qian was also deeply shocked, the different circumstances of the two worlds made him make the mistake of empiricism, and the most critical and important information was treated as an irrelevant side matter and left aside.
"Xiao Qian woke up?" Hearing Yang Xiaoqian's shout, Yang Yan, who was still wearing an apron, put down the pots and pans and trotted all the way from the kitchen to the bedroom, and looked at Yang Xiaoqian who collapsed on the bed in surprise, "How is it, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”
Yang Xiaoqian looked at his father weakly, and smiled helplessly: "Dad, we may all die in Yuanjiang." ”
Yang Yan was stunned for a while, and then rubbed his hands and smiled: "Then I will suffer a big loss, your mother is a pretty wife who still has charm, and I am afraid that she will be picked up cheaply." ”
"No kidding." It's all like this, Yang Xiaoqian has no intention of being funny at all.
"Isn't that trying to keep you from being too depressed?" Yang Yan scratched his head, remembered the dishes in his pot, and said, "I made your favorite enoki mushrooms and beer duck, as well as cabbage and tofu soup, you wash your face and eat it, you have to be a full ghost when you die." ”
As he spoke, Yang Yan turned around and walked back to the kitchen, not daring to let Yang Xiaoqian see the fear and tears in his eyes.
Watching Yang Yan's back leave, Yang Xiaoqian turned his head to look at Yu Qian, as if to say to him, and as if to say to himself: "I don't want to die." ”
Yu Qian smiled, not laughing at Yang Xiaoqian's cowardice, but laughing at his growth, this guy who was as weak as a pig a few days ago has become a reliable partner who dares to face the end of the world in a short period of time. Those who dare to face their fears will live longer.
"We're not going to die." Yu Qian patted Yang Xiaoqian and said with certainty.
