Chapter 17: Separation
My consciousness appeared in a pitch black scene, without any light, even my fingers couldn't see clearly, I was a little panicked, even if I killed so many zombies in the past few days, I was just a student who had not yet stepped into society. "Hey, anyone?" I shouted so loudly that I couldn't even make an echo in the pitch black space. Suddenly, I saw a glimmer of light in the distance, and before I could run over, it suddenly disappeared, and there were more and more bright lights, gradually illuminating this area white, it was a piece of snowflakes, I suddenly saw a bridge there, and thousands of zombies on the bridge crowded forward, including many second-order zombies, and even occupied the majority.
I knew the bridge, I exclaimed in my heart, but the scene in front of me suddenly disappeared, snowflakes, straight bridges, and zombies that seemed to be an illusion, and the whole space fell into darkness again.
In the carriage, Lao Zhao held the grip and stared at me deadly, I let go of the clenched fist, the bursting eyes and blood vessels slowly recovered, and the bloodshot in the eyes disappeared, Lao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was shocked to find that the skin on my face became snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the hair faded to the original black, slowly turning to gray, I opened my eyes and looked at Lao Zhao with a dull expression and smiled slightly.
"You?" Zhao Wenzhuo shook the handle of the gun and said hesitantly. I smiled and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, I'm fine." Lao Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face: "That's good, I thought you were going to burp." Since you're awake, it's time for you to keep vigil, drive for a day, and I'm tired to death. I nodded, holding the rifle on my chest, but my fingers weren't on the trigger. I turned my head to look at Tian Xin, who was asleep, she didn't know what she was muttering, and her rosy lips pursed slightly. I turned my head to look at the sky outside, a hint of coldness flashed in my eyes, and in the dead corner of the carriage, the outstretched nails of my hands were quietly withdrawn.
If nothing else, I'm no longer human, I raised my hands, the original yellow skin has become snow-white, white and can even see the cyan blood vessels inside, I don't know what happened, but it must be related to the injuries I suffered in the police station and the hospital during the day, and the few drops of black blood of zombies, from my discolored skin and zombie-like claws, I turned my head to look at the sleeping two, it seems that they have to be separated for a while.
Early the next morning, the sky was rare that there were no dark clouds, and the sunlight finally shone directly on the ground, although it was scarlet sunlight, but it made me feel a trace of warmth, Tian Xin opened her eyes and saw my faint gaze, "Hey, what about your hair and skin", before her excited expression appeared on her face, but she saw my change and exclaimed.
I smiled, with a nonchalant expression on my face: "It's nothing, it's just that the family's inherited albinism was suddenly committed", this is the only more reliable statement I came up with, Tian Xin was stunned, and said cutely: "Ah? How do I remember that albinism is a comorbid disease? I reached out and stroked her hair, regardless of her blushing expression: "Maybe I'm an exception, but it's just albinism, and it's not harmful, don't worry." β
Tian Xin nodded dumbly, and was suddenly touched by me, and she felt a fever on her face. Zhao Wenzhuo also woke up slowly, he turned his head and didn't speak, but suddenly saw the backpack next to me, which was different from the previous appearance of only loading magazines, at this time the backpack was bulging and stuffed, while the magazines of rifles and pistols were neatly placed next to it, "Xuanzi, you?" Zhao Wenzhuo's face was complicated, and Tian Xin saw the automatic rifle hanging around her neck.
"Are you leaving?" She asked abruptly, her tone was slightly calm, but her wide-glazed eyes and slightly open red lips showed the waves in her heart, "Why, did I drag you back?" Tian Xin's tone already had a hint of crying, and when I stopped her behind her and pointed a gun at Xie Shaokun, she knew that the boy in front of her had left a faint mark in her heart.
Lao Zhao didn't speak, but his face was a little complicated, he knew that I was not that kind of person, from the sudden change in my complexion last night, he knew that something strange had happened to me, so that I had to be separated from them, he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, took off the automatic rifle on his chest and handed it to me.
There was a smile on my face, and sure enough, he still knew me, whether it was from the beginning of working out together, or now the end of fighting side by side to slaughter zombies, he has always been very clear about my thoughts. I pushed the rifle back: "You still have it, the two of you have two guns and some security, and I have a big knife is enough." Lao Zhao was stunned for a moment, suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a little choked, he suddenly turned his head, started the car, and there was a trace of worry before separation in his tone: "So, where do we meet!" β
I opened the door with my backpack and got out of the car, and pulled out the Qinglong Yanyue Knife from under my feet, and Tian Xin in the carriage was already crying. I stood on the ground, looked ahead, and said lightly: "Wuhan, Yangtze River Bridge!" β
"Boom!" Tian Xin closed the back door of the car with red and swollen eyes, the engine of the Ford Explorer made a deafening roar, and rushed forward like a sword with an indestructible momentum, the dust fluttered in the air and the wind, and I felt a gaze coming from the rear window of the car staring at me for a long time. I turned my head to look at the dozen or so zombies behind me who were attracted by the sound of the engine, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in my eyes, if it wasn't for the fear that the blood of this group of beasts would contaminate my consciousness, how could I be separated from the two of them.
"Zheng!" The broadsword swung forward, and the green dragon coiled on the blade made a loud sound in the air, and I rushed forward, and the broadsword in my hand cut a cyan light in the air. The distance of dozens of meters flashed away, the sharp blade of the big knife slashed at the neck of the zombie, and slashed back with the momentum of breaking through the air, "poof, poof, poof", with the sound of several blades into the flesh, none of the dozen zombies survived, and the blood that spurted out of the thin blood wrapped my whole person, I stretched out my tongue and licked the blood on my lips, and a trace of killing intent flashed in my eyes, sure enough, not only the skin and fingers have changed, but even the physical fitness and speed are dozens of times that of before, I put the knife on my shoulder and walked towards the city, due to the sudden situation, I'll have to go to the city to get some supplies, but this time, as long as it's not the thousands of zombies gathered together, there's nothing else to threaten me.
Ford explorers were speeding on the national highway, and occasionally encountered five or six zombies blocking the road in groups, and Lao Zhao did not get out of the car and kill them all, but directly stepped on the accelerator and crashed over. Tian Xin's eyes in the back seat were red, but he had stopped crying, he looked at Zhao Wenzhuo in the driver's seat, and his voice was a little weak: "Brother Zhao, why don't you persuade him", Zhao Wenzhuo's heart trembled, but his tone was extremely calm: "Didn't he say, meet us at the Yangtze River Bridge, since this is the case, then let's go first, I don't believe that he will be a person who does not keep his promises." β
Tian Xin was stunned, gripped the grip of the automatic rifle hard, and secretly made an unknown decision in his heartγγγγγγ
