Chapter 94: Staying alive (1)
Lu Xun leaned on the edge of the lemon and sat down, the heavy rain outside the window, the sound of the rain.
The two of them sat quietly in the empty classroom, speaking of which Lu Xun had not been alone with Lemon for a long time, when they were on a mission in a group before, the two often sat in the driver's cab of the Hummer, Lu Xun was the driver, and Lemon sat on the side holding the long knife in a daze, and did not say a word, this girl rarely took the initiative to talk to anyone.
The sound of slow breathing came and went in the darkness, and Lu Xun forced himself not to think about the killings and tragedies that were happening outside. The sky has fallen, the seven-headed killers have attacked the security zone, the colonel is no longer there, the executive department is scattered, no one can escape from this desperate situation, and the history of the security zone of the Shanghai Naval Military Academy will be declared over tonight. Lu Xun just found a little ant in a corner to breathe when the world was destroyed, and tried his best to save his life, he didn't have the strength to carry this overturned edifice, Lu Xun finally knew how those safe zones were destroyed back then...... When death falls like Tarzan, manpower is simply not able to fight.
The attack came so suddenly and so ferociously that it destroyed the entire security zone defenses in an instant.
"Lao Jia...... What's next? β
"Save your own life." Lao Jia replied, "Wait for the killers to evacuate, and then go out to rescue the survivors." β
Lu Xun couldn't bear to ask that question...... Wait for the killers to withdraw? Will there be survivors in the safe zone after the killers have gone?
"Don't be impulsive." Lao Jia persuaded, "You don't even have a pistol in your hand now, if you go out, you will be sent to death, and the killer should still be nearby." β
The young man inserted his fingers into the roots of his hair and took a deep breath, "What should I do?" What am I going to do! Give me a plan...... Give me a plan, Lao Jia! Don't you always have a plan? β
Lao Jia was silent.
Lu Xun leaned against the wall dejectedly, even if there was a last glimmer of hope, he would not give up, and he would try his best at the slightest moment, but this time there was really no way...... The killer is so powerful, so powerful that even Lao Jia can't do anything about it.
"The Kestrel system, is it really only going to last three minutes?"
Lao Jia nodded, "Once it takes more than three minutes, the system will overheat and crash." β
Lu Xun sighed, and a deep sense of powerlessness came up, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing...... You can only watch it unfold, knowing that it will end up being the end you don't want to see, but you are still helpless, because its trajectory has long been welded in place, and no matter how hard you try, you can't change it in the slightest.
Lu Xun stared at the darkness in front of him in a daze, and was suddenly stunned.
"Wait."
Lao Jia was stunned.
"Wait...... No, it's not impossible. Lu Xun raised his head, his eyes burst with brilliance, as if he had grasped the last straw in a desperate situation, "We have the ability to kill the killer in three minutes!" β
"How?"
The young man's body trembled slightly with excitement, "Have you forgotten? White Gin...... Gene missile for doomsday virus! There's also a lab in the library! It was just made two days ago! That thing can kill the Killer! β
Lao Jia suddenly remembered that they were still holding such a super killing weapon in their hands.
But the potion was in the library, which must be the killer's nest at this moment, how could they get their hands on the white gin?
Damn it! I finally found the poison, but found that the bottle was in the snake's den.
What can I do?
The young man rubbed his chin, he had just escaped from the library, so he naturally knew what was going on around the library, and he didn't know how many killers were entrenched there, and if he got close, he would be sent to death. How did he manage to get into the lab by avoiding the Sirens?
"I'll help you." The girl whispered.
Lu Xun was taken aback and turned his head. Lemon didn't know when she came back to her senses, she sat where she was, looked up at herself, "I'll help you distract the hunters, you go in and get the white gin." β
"Nope." The young man shook his head, in this case, the person in charge of luring away the sirens would definitely be a dead end, and he couldn't let Lemon go to his death.
"You have no one else to use but me." The girl's tone was flat, "There has to be someone to be the bait." β
Lemon's thinking is very clear, and her judgment of the situation is very accurate.
"So that's ...... I'll be the bait. Lu Xun squatted down in front of the girl, "You go get the white gin." β
Lemon and Lao Jia were stunned.
"Don't be in a hurry to refute yet, you listen to me." Lu Xun covered the girl's mouth, "Your speed and skills are better than mine, so you can get the white gin faster, and then go to the aid of others, I can hold those monsters for three minutes at most, only you can get to the laboratory within three minutes and successfully leave, with you, Belle and the director will get a big boost, and I'm just a drag bottle...... Do you know where the white gin is? You've seen that thing, haven't you? In the second freezer to the left of the lab's entrance, the glass bottle is encapsulated with a white label that you can recognize at a glance. β
"You're." The girl frowned and pulled the young man's hand down, "I'm better than you, so I can hold the hunter for a longer time, you're more familiar with the use of white gin than I am, and the person they need is you, not me, Ariana." β
Lu Xun sat up straight and looked into the girl's eyes, "You're going to die." β
"I don't care." Lemon shook her head.
"But I care." Lu Xun said, he reached out and rubbed the girl's hair, "I won't let you die, do you know why I joined the hummingbird hunting team?" β
The girl shook her head.
"The old fellow Colonel said you only had a few years left in your life, but he still had to let you go to the front because he couldn't find someone who could replace you." Lu Xun said softly, "So I told him, if there must be someone who has to endure this kind of pain, then I'll come." β
Lemon was stunned.
"What a silly girl." Lu Xun patted the girl's face and smiled, "The colonel is gone, you still have me...... Don't listen to those bastards, you have a long life to live, and you have to live until the day the director makes the antidote, and then live a long life in a brand new world free of doomsday viruses and zombie hunters. β
"You've never seen a world like that, have you? I've seen ......," Lu Xun whispered, "There are many, many people on the streets, with cherry blossoms and ice sculptures on both sides, and the wind blows all over the sky with flower petals. β
I don't know where these inexplicable sentences popped up, but Lu Xun swore by it, as if he had really witnessed such a world. Maybe he still has a talent for coaxing girls that he hasn't discovered yet?
The girl suddenly reached out and grabbed Lu Xun's clothes, holding on tightly and not letting go.
"I'm not dying that easily, I still have the Kestrel system...... Kestrel is invincible. Lu Xun held her hand, "Why don't we make an agreement?" I'll come back alive and live with you until the day when the director makes the antidote, live to a new world without zombies and hunters, and then go to see the cherry blossoms and ice sculptures together, okay? β
The girl looked at him for a long time and nodded vigorously.
Many years later, when Lu Xun recalled that dark and chaotic rainy night, he hid in the empty classroom with the cat-like girl, and made a naΓ―ve and ridiculous promise, an impossible promise, and the young man promised the girl a beautiful and false future. He thought that perhaps both parties knew at the time that the agreement was destined to be unfulfilled, and that in their fate, there would never be a cherry blossom flying.
But they still held each other's hands tightly, and the warmth of that hand never faded in the long dark night that followed.
Fate is a big wheel, rolling forward, and similar tragedies are always repeated.
