Chapter 23: Seven Nights (8)
The moonlight penetrated the room through the window, like white milk poured in, diluted by the air in the room, and the rows of tall buildings outside the iron windows cast jagged shadows on the floor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Land Patrol ...... Land Patrol! Someone whispered in his ear, "Lu Xun wake up!" Lu Xun wake up! ”
The boy opened his eyes and sat up slowly in the darkness, the moonlight falling obliquely, and his immature and fair face was half-light and half-dark.
He looked around, and the room was empty and silent, fine dust swirling in the air...... It's weird, is this still my room? Where are those big white medical instruments? Where are the red, green, and green flashing lights? What about the rubber pipes that flow with medicine and blood? And who else...... Where have they gone?
All that was left of the room was the white walls and floor, and the simple and clear lines of the line divided his vision into light and dark pieces.
The boy was silent, and he sat on the bed for a long time, a little dazed.
A pair of arms reached out from the darkness behind him, gently wrapping around the child's neck, and a soft and warm body pressed against the boy's back, and the scent enveloped him.
The woman pressed her face against the child's face and whispered softly: "Little Lu Xun ......"
Strands of soft hair fell into the socket of the boy's neck, and the latter's eyes slowly widened, and their eyes gleamed in the darkness.
"Mom?"
"Lu Xun ......" the woman whispered, she slowly hugged the boy tightly, "Little Lu Xun, why don't you sleep?" ”
The child bowed his head and did not speak, and he shrunk into the woman's arms.
"Mom, do you want to take medicine again tomorrow?"
"Yes, tomorrow Xiao Lu Xun will take medicine again." The woman nodded.
"But I don't want to eat it." The boy shook his head, "Can I skip the medicine?" ”
"Why don't you want to take medicine?"
"It hurts." The child replied, his body trembling slightly, "After taking the medicine, my head hurts very much, and my whole body hurts." ”
The woman hugged the boy tightly, "I know...... I know that Xiao Lu Xun is very painful, but I took those medicines to save your life, and those uncles and aunts, they are all to save Xiao Lu Xun's life......"
"I don't want them to save me."
Two fingers reached over and gently pressed the boy's lips, "Don't say stupid things, Xiao Lu Xun, you have to live, live well, and live better than everyone else, you are our only hope, don't be afraid of anything, mom will protect you...... I will always be with you, always with you. ”
The woman buried her head in the boy's soft hair and kissed the top of the child's head.
I will always be with you, always with you.
Is there really anyone in this world who can accompany you for a lifetime?
Lu Xun slowly opened his eyes, the black injection molded roof hung in front of his eyes one meter high, there was a lot of light in the carriage, the moonlight fell on the floor in the hall, the weather tonight was surprisingly good, a full moon came out of the clouds, and the whole city was illuminated.
The young man got up from the back seat of the pickup truck and sat in a daze, his mind groggy and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Land Patrol?" Lao Jia spoke up, "Are you having nightmares again?" ”
"Nope." Lu Xun shook his head, stretched out his hand to turn on the lights in the carriage, pushed the car door and jumped down, "It's a dream, but it's not a nightmare." ”
Zhao Gao sat in the moonlight against the doorpost, and turned around when he heard the sound.
"Why don't you sleep?"
"Can't sleep." Lu Xun shook his head, sat down against the doorpost opposite Zhao Gao, turned his head to look out the window, the yard under the steps was overgrown with weeds, rusty abandoned vehicles parked against the wall, silent and barren, and farther away, you could see the dead and silent ruined city, Lu Xun could imagine fierce and bloodthirsty monsters sneaking between those collapsed floors, they jumped and shuttled to search for prey, and a pair of pupils emitted a faint green light in the dark night.
"We're going to check on those eight cages tomorrow." Zhao Gao reminded, "You'd better go and get some sleep and keep up your energy." ”
"I'll keep vigil." Lu Xun looked up, "You go to sleep." ”
Zhao Gao was slightly stunned, and shook his head with a smile, "What a stubborn temper." ”
Lu Xun pouted, "What do you mean by stubbornness?" ”
"Stubbornness is ......" Zhao Gao leaned his back against the pillar and looked up at the sky, "If you can't listen to the good words and persuasions of others, you will do what you believe in the end, and the three cows can't pull it back, and you won't look back when you break through the south wall." ”
"Where do you have any good words to persuade you? In the vast majority of cases, what you say is cheating on me. Lu Xun muttered, "I just entered the academy last year, and you locked me up with the hunter in your first class, if it weren't for my fate...... You're going to have to look for me in the cemetery in the backyard of the academy now, are you crazy about anyone else? ”
"yes." Zhao Gao nodded without thinking.
Zhao Gao admitted it so happily, but it was a little unexpected for Lu Xun.
"I just threw you to the hunters, and besides, it was just a teaching accident, and I have no ill will at all...... You know what? When you first entered the Academy, the entire Enforcement Department and the Hummingbird Hunting Team wanted to kill you outright. Zhao Gao said leisurely, "Compared with them, I am the most benevolent and righteous." ”
"What?" Lu Xun was taken aback, "They want to kill me?" ”
"Do you know how long we've been in this place?" Zhao Gao let out a sigh of relief, "It's been four years, we've been struggling in this city for four years, and every day we are worried and scared, everyone is scared, afraid that the alarm will be sounded in the next second...... In this case, everybody is neurotic, everybody is on the verge of collapse, and you can't guess what one neuropathy will do the next, let alone what a hundred and twenty neuropathy will do the next. ”
"Wait, wait......" Lu Xun jumped, "You just said that the Hummingbird team once wanted to kill me?" What did I do wrong, me? Who did I recruit and who did I mess with? Didn't the colonel say that I bear the responsibility of one-hundred-twentieth of the continuation of human civilization? Isn't my life for all mankind? ”
"Because your presence was a mistake." Zhao Gao said, "The people in the academy are not stupid, and I believe that so far, there are still many people in the security zone who do not trust you...... No one can survive alone in the restricted area for a long time, your existence is unreasonable, unreasonable things are dangerous, and the safe zone cannot afford any risks. ”
Lu Xunxin said that I depend, I worked hard to be born and died so many times, and bravely entered the Longtan Tiger's Den alone and the killer was against Gang, but in the end, the two ends were not people?
"You don't have to worry too much about that, because you're not the only one who doesn't trust you...... The entire hummingbird hunting team is not trusted by the public. Zhao Gao said, "In the eyes of ordinary people, the hummingbird hunting team is a group of mad dogs, and there is no essential difference between the monsters outside the walls of the safety zone, and the reason why they protect the academy is because the owner of this group of mad dogs is the colonel, and their dog chains are tied to the colonel's hands." ”
"But I at least look like a human being, don't I?" Lu Xun shouted, "I have hands, feet, heads, brains, and I can still recite the core values of socialism, when have you ever seen such a smart zombie and such a handsome hunter?" ”
Zhao Gao was silent for a moment and looked at him deeply.
"Humanoid creatures...... It doesn't have to be human, and it's not necessarily on our side. ”
Lu Xun didn't understand this sentence at first, and was about to ask when a sharp scream suddenly rose from the tall buildings in the distance.
Both of them paused, their faces were serious, and they reached out to touch their guns.
"Is it a hunter?" Lu Xun and Zhao Gao exchanged glances.
The latter nodded.
"Don't be too nervous, it's normal for hunters to exist in this area......"
But before Zhao Gao's words were finished, his face changed suddenly.
Another whistling erupted, and in the other direction, it was another hunter.
Then the third, fourth, and fifth sounds, one after another, rose and fell in all directions, from near and far to layer upon layer! The hunters looked at the moon and howled like wolves, echoing each other, and in the end, Zhao Gao and Lu Xun couldn't hear how many hunters there were, and the hunters of the whole city were howling!
The two suddenly got up and looked at each other.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
