Chapter 8 Anti-water
Mastiff, the hero of the dogs, likes to eat meat, is not bound by external forces, is covered with fluffy long hair, looks fierce, the teeth are sharp, and the skin is handsome and black...
That's what it says in the book, that's right! But the one in front of him who stretched his waist and wagged his tail and let Ren He stroke it at will was indeed a Tibetan mastiff, and Lu Bai did not doubt his knowledge.
"Well, I can only say long live understanding." He spread his hands and stopped Ren He.
"We can't take him with us if it's of no practical use, because we can't guarantee his safety."
"For example?"
"For example, attacking zombies, transporting small things, and most importantly, listening to commands." After all, there is a limit to what people can do, and in the end of the day, they need to use all the resources they can use, even if it is a dog, he can be a powerful helper.
"Alright then, I'll try." Ren He smiled awkwardly.
"Roll up! Get down! "Woohoo!" As soon as he gave the order, the roll immediately lay down on the spot, and his movements were crisp and neat, completely lacking the appearance of the pet dog before.
"Roll up, go get my bag!" "Woohoo!"
Although the backpack is not big, several of them are tired of carrying it, can it really be rolled? Even Lu Bai began to worry.
And yet he did! I saw a half-human-tall Tibetan mastiff bending down and gently picking up the bag, which was really unheard of!
"Roll up, well done! Lie down and touch your belly!"
Ren He smiled happily, his hands tickled on Curly Roll's body, Curly stretched out his tongue, licked it back and forth on his hand, one person and one dog, looking at each other trustingly.
"Then if you don't agree now, you have to agree." Lu Bai smiled, looking at this person and a dog, he couldn't help but admire them from the bottom of his heart.
"Long live the rolls!" Ren He picked up the curly roll and rubbed it vigorously on his fluffy hair.
"Woohoo... Whew!!" Juan also screamed happily and licked Ren He's face, and the black and white eyes of the two people told of joy. Looking like two brothers from a distance, Lu Bai seemed to have discovered something that he hadn't seen for a long time, and smiled knowingly.
"Long live understanding."
......
Night has fallen again. Unlike before, the world at night has become quieter. At this moment, the scene outside the window can't help but remind people of the night before the end of the day, with small carts swinging in rows, shouting on both sides of the street, and occasionally children pulling up adults to buy a little skewer and eat while walking, and the taste of the roadside stalls is also following all the way.
The smell of oil smoke in the air once made Ren He scoff, but now, he is a little nostalgic. He was half-leaning on the bed with his katana in his arms, not daring to poke his head out to look at the current side street, falling asleep in his memories, only occasionally a zombie roar or two would tell him.
"We can't go back."
In the middle of the night, everyone was still asleep.
At this time, a person crept up, as if looking for something in the backpack, in the dark, he could vaguely see him shivering, he pulled out a handful of long things, but only saw a flash of cold light.
The man trembled, stood on tiptoe, and walked towards the sleeping Yan Yuan little by little, what he held in his hand should be a long sword.
The shiny blade shone with a fierce light, and the moonlight refracted on the sword and hit Yan Yuan's face, even in his sleep, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who!"
"Don't move!" Standing up in the darkness was a completely unfamiliar voice, none of the eight of them could speak like that. He pondered for a moment, thought of something, and trembled.
"You, are you Shang Shichu..."
The man in the darkness shuddered, as if by acquiescence. Yan Yuan knew that he had no way to reason with him now, so he suddenly had a plan and gently kicked Lorraine awake with his foot.
"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I hope you can forgive me... I swear, I swear I'll kill myself after killing you, you don't have to worry about that. He smiled reluctantly.
"Made, this madman." Yan Yuan kicked Lorraine again, if he didn't come alone, he would really be finished.
"What," Lorraine muttered quietly, looking above him.
"Don't move!!" Drawing the knife and returning the blade, I saw a flash of cold light, Lorraine's movements did not drag the slightest mud and water, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at Shang Shichu.
"What's wrong!" The rest of the men also quickly got up, drew their weapons, and approached him.
"Woo... Whew!! Juan seemed to hear movement and wanted to rush out, but a person covered his mouth and sniffed the smell of the man, and then lay down obediently.
"Don't come! Put your arms down! I swear, I swear, after killing you, I will kill myself, this world is over, the game is over!! ”
Excitement appeared on Shang Shichu's face, and in the darkness, he raised his head as if he was trembling and shouted with a smile. "That's the only way, that's the only way, I can help you, I can... Definitely..."
"Made, this madman." Yan Yuan couldn't move, but he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and some hot liquid flowed down, and he was suddenly startled.
"Damn, this madman is cutting my neck!" Everyone didn't dare to move easily, for fear that if he got excited, he would hurt Yan Yuan.
"Dog Thief !!"
A shout startled him, and he randomly held Yan Yuan and looked in the direction where the voice came from. In the darkness, a strong light slammed into Shang Shichu's eyes.
"Ahhhh Eye! Eyes!!"
The knife landed in an instant, and a figure rushed out of the darkness, pushing Yan Yuan in the direction of Lorraine, and everyone heard a rapid sound of drawing the knife, and a long knife with a slight arc immediately rested on Shang Shichu's neck.
"I'm sorry, you've touched our bottom line."
It was a trilled sentence, and then only a click was heard, and a whimper, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Everyone felt some hot liquid spill on their faces, and a round thing rolled to the ground, and then the sound of the knife being drawn, and with the click of the scabbard, the light was turned on.
Everyone didn't get used to it for a while, squinted their eyes, and carefully saw the scene in front of them, and a few people almost didn't throw up.
Blood, blood everywhere, on the walls, on the floor, there was a bright red hot liquid, a headless corpse fell to the ground, and the previous spherical object was none other than Shang Shichu's head! Behind the corpse, there was an expressionless Ren He, wiping the blood from his face.
He gradually saw everything in front of him, corpses, heads, blood, his own hands, and the knife.
"Hey... Ren, Renhe, you... Killed? Yan Yuan covered his neck and asked tremblingly. Yes, if you kill yourself, although you don't have to bear the consequences, but if you kill yourself, this is a fact that cannot be changed.
"It's not... I'm not, I didn't mean to... I'm not, I'm not..."He covered his ears, rubbed his hair in a mess, and began to talk to himself, his expression became more and more frightened, his pupils became more and more fluttering, and Curly stepped forward to lick Ren He, and lay down on the side.
"I'm not... I didn't, I didn't..."
"But they can't be counted anymore!"
Luo Luozhu's understatement calmed everyone present, and Ren He slowly raised his head as if he had suddenly figured out something. What is it like to kill someone, Luo Luzhu has already experienced it, but it can't be counted as a human being anymore.
"Whether it's Wang Fang or Shang Shichu, since they hurt other people's lives, they are no longer human, besides, there is another person who survived with your help."
Luo Yuzhu patted Ren He's shoulder, there will definitely be a lot of such things in the future, but who can control it.
What could be more precious than a group of people who still maintain their humanity in a world where sensuality is rampant and humanity is collapsing.
Outside the window, there is endless darkness, and the occasional scream and roar reminds people that at this moment, there are countless people struggling for survival! Fight for humanity! Ren He looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and he looked at his partners and smiled.
On the distant horizon, it must be the fiery rising sun.
