Chapter 174: The Return Journey (1)
The wind stops, the rain stops, the waves slow, and the sun rises.
The night was dark, but it was crushed at the moment when the sun rose as usual, and quickly dispersed; The white mist on the surface of the sea, and the soft golden morning light poured down from the sky, and the curling smoke slowly disappeared, leaving behind a large area of blue sea as clear as jewels.
On the Changjiang River, go uphill along this tributary, and in two more days, you will be able to reach the army safely. District base.
Tan Shurun sat cross-legged at the front of the kayak, looking out at the winter sea farther and farther away, where it was so quiet as if nothing had happened, devouring all the whirlpools, the frighteningly strange-looking iron-scaled snakes, the carnivorous aquatic plants, the blue shrimp, the strange underwater world, like a disaster science fiction movie in a movie theater on the eve of the end of the world.
It's a pity that this time she is in the middle of it, and she can't be freed.
And, she lost contact with Yue Yue.
Tan Shurun hugged the soft sword in his hand to his chest, and gently rubbed his fingertips over the hilt and blade of the sword, until finally accidentally scratched the tip of the sword, and the red blood beads instantly came out, round and crystal clear, dripping down the tip of the sword.
The sword was as cold as autumn frost, but the blood carried the warmth of the body.
Tanshu moistened the tip of his nose, pursed his lips, and after holding back his tears, his eyes fell on the water at the front of the kayak.
The kayak roared and drove quickly, making countless splashes on the surface of the river, and disturbing the clear water of the river.
Tan Shurun couldn't help but think that thanks to her good eyesight, she was able to see the tall and short zombies who had only followed the whole road from the Winter Sea under the water clearly. She is related to the zombies, these two only followed her, and it is not difficult to guess the reason - probably the order before Yue Yue left.
So in other words, these two zombies are still obediently carrying out Yue Yue's orders, does it mean that Yue Yue is okay and still alive?
Thinking of this, with such thoughts, Tan Shurun was full of fighting spirit again. Yue Yue promised that she had done everything, she believed that with Yue Yue's skills, there would be no accidents this time, and she should go on according to her plan, I hope that when they meet again, they are both sick and uninjured, and they are already able to lift their swords to protect each other.
Tan Shurun looked back at Zhanhuan on the kayak in front of him, and saw that he was discussing something with Gao Yuanyuan, and occasionally heard the words 'Jiankang City', 'Reformist', and 'Gao Weilai', which were completely unfamiliar, so even though she had excellent hearing, she was still confused.
Zhan Huan mentioned the return trip, so it must be back to the south later. Jing base, since this is the case, Zhanhuan and Gao Yuanyuan may talk more about Nan. The Kyo base is related, and I'm going back to that place again, locked in a ten-meter-square bedroom like a prisoner, with no freedom, no self-esteem, and despair and pitiful.
Thinking of this, Tan Shurun was about to eavesdrop more, but the tall zombie sneaked out of the water, poked her fingertips with his little fingers, and then whispered at her, like a little fool who was going to ask his friends to sneak out of the school gate to play.
Retracting his attention, Tan Shurun pretended to casually lean on the edge of the kayak to browse the scenery along the way, while being wary of Zhanhuan and Gao Yuan behind him, he lowered his voice and commanded the tall zombie, "I know you can understand what I say." ”
She finally regained her sanity from the panic of the shipwreck, and slowly recalled the information about zombies she had heard in her previous life - a full year after the full-scale outbreak of the zombie virus, there were zombies with low-level sanity, and there were also a few zombies with advanced thinking and action.
But it's a pity that as a young lady of the war family who doesn't go out of the door, her life is the square inch of the inner house, except for some sporadic reports on the zombie and survivor alliance in the Beicheng newspapers, that is, the large and small battles of SOI, she rarely sees those supposedly special zombies with her own eyes.
Now that I see these two zombies who sell cuteness from time to time, they are probably the kind of zombies that will be widely known in a year.
Tan Shurun gently patted the tall zombie's hand and advised, "Next, you have to remember what I said." First, go back to the place where I jumped into the sea just now; Then look for Ah Yue, uh, the trail of your master, around there; In the end, whether you find Ah Yue or not, come back and tell me. All right? ”
The tall zombie remained motionless for a few moments before nodding frantically, then ducking into the water and quickly vanishing.
Seeing this, the short zombie also learned the movements of the tall man, and showed a pair of white eyes like a baby, it stared at Tan Shurun, and looked very happy.
Tan Shurun looked at it, and suddenly remembered the most important thing she had missed, that is, the reserve food that they had been fighting with Zhanhuan for a long time was also a necessary preparation for whether they could survive the entire cold winter safely!
Thinking of this, Tan Shurun had to dispel the idea of leaving the short man as a helper, and she took out the incense beads in her arms, which were given to her by Grandma Sam before leaving, she and Kiki each had one, and Grandma Sam told her not to throw it away, saying that it could bless them both safely.
Tan Shurun held the incense beads, but her heart suddenly hurt like a needle prick, she hurriedly clenched her fists and rubbed it vigorously against her heart.
In the sudden severe pain, time passed quickly, and finally eased her breathing, Tan Shurun heard the scolding voice of Gao Yuanyuan calling her name behind her, she hurriedly handed the incense beads in her hand to the short zombie, and ordered: "If you can, please help me find a girl with the same taste, you give this to her, and then bring her to me." ”
As soon as the words fell, Gao Yuanyuan jumped up from the other kayak, stood still behind her, scanned her with suspicious eyes, and then landed on the tumbling splash, and asked, "Who did you just talk to?" ”
Tan Shurun's heart had just recovered from the severe pain, and before she could take a good breath, she was frightened by Gao Yuanyuan's little heart fluttering, she turned around, looked up at Gao Yuanyuan, her eyes were indifferent, but the hands hanging on both sides unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, slowed down, and asked without answering: "Do you have something?" ”
Gao Yuanyuan was asked like this, but he couldn't say why, he just felt that Tan Shurun's movements were strange, so he thought about coming over to see, if there was something wrong or not, there was none, but if he didn't, it seemed that he was finding fault with a little woman, in front of so many soldiers, it was quite faceless.
Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but touch his nose, thinking about it, but he really found out a problem.
"Do you know who the man named Rome is who is with you? No, I should say, where did you know him as a monster? ”
Roma? Monster? Hearing such words coming out of Gao Yuanyuan's mouth, Tan Shurun immediately became alert, and when she chased Yue Yue and Zhan Huan into the plank road, because only Qiqi was around, she told her what she should do next.
Why do words like monster have anything to do with Roma? Wait, is it ......
Thinking of the possibility, Tan Shurun couldn't help asking: "Gao Dashao, what did you see?" ”
What do you see? Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but think about it, but the picture in his memory was so bloody and tragic that even he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"We later returned to the storage area and the main control room, and found that there was a massacre there, and the culprit was the man named Roma."
"No, it's impossible......" Tan Shurun hesitated in denial, in fact, when she heard Gao Yuanyuan say this, she already had a rough guess in her heart, but after all, Rome was the benefactor who saved her, and he was also their partner who came out of Chunqing Mountain and vowed to go to the top of the power pyramid in Beicheng together, and she didn't want to admit it so easily.
"How could it be?!"
Hearing Tan Shurun's direct denial, Gao Yuanyuan lost his temper, fired a shot into the sky, and roared: "Do you know what a massacre is?!" When we walked into the storage area, the whole floor was wet, not the seawater seeping in, it was my men, they were lying dead all over the ground, and I stepped on it, and it was their blood that I stepped on! ”
"Also, in the main control room, that man named Roma, no, he's not human, he's a monster, and he's still killing! If it weren't for Zhanhuan stopping him in time! People will only die more, including those who follow you!! ”
