Chapter Seventy-One, The Lighthouse
When the corpse tide broke out, Lin Yifei was sitting on the plane returning home with his mother, he looked down from the porthole, the ground was full of wolf smoke, the flames were soaring, and the dense vehicles in the city he was going to filled the streets and alleys, the kind of urban tragedy that could be clearly distinguished even from a few thousand meters in the air was shocking.
Suddenly, outside the porthole of the landing plane, a terrible thing that Lin Yifei could not imagine at all, it was a huge monster that grew from the surface, countless tentacle-like organs waving in the air, and huge dirty teeth facing the sky...... But this sight was only a momentary thing, and the plane leaned down and landed and rushed into the runway.
The next thing that happened was to go with the flow. They followed the crowd out of the airport, and in the crowd of people who were rubbing shoulders, he seemed to hear a creepy scream in the distance, but the crowd was so dense that he couldn't see anything.
Lin Yifei was very lucky, and they quickly got out of the airport from the crowd. Soon after, they found their father's car, and the family drove home. Lin Yifei also has a younger brother and a younger sister, and a family of five lives in hiding at home.
From the balcony, Lin Yifei saw hell, blood splashing on the concrete floor, all kinds of twisted limbs and crazy howls tormenting their eyes and ears. Whether they wanted to or not, the rice jar at home quickly bottomed out, and his parents had to go out with a few children for help. They wandered through supermarkets, hotels and factory canteens, and although they encountered many situations, they were finally in danger.
The last place they stayed was a police station, where they had been holding out for more than a month, and there was nothing left in front of them except guns and bullets that they could not eat. At this moment, the news of Eden came on the radio, which also became their last straw, for the survival of the children, Lin Yifei's parents decided to take the risk......
“…… As a result, I haven't seen them since......" After the meal, Lin Yifei told his story.
During this time, no one interjected, only listened to him in a blank voice. When I picked up the cup and put it to my lips, the hot water in the cup was already cold.
"Now...... Your brother and sister are still in the police station? Xiao Jiu asked with some flickering. In any case, the death of the teenager's parents is inseparable from her.
"Well, I couldn't bring them all, so I had to come out first." After that, Lin Yifei lowered his head as if he had made up his mind:
"Brothers and sisters, please take my brothers and sisters over, so that I can continue to look for my parents, otherwise I don't know how I will persevere......"
The young man's eyes were filled with tears, and Xiao Lin thoughtfully handed over the tissue, and at the same time comforted: "Don't worry, we will definitely take your brother and sister over, right?" ”
I hurriedly replied, "No, that's right, if we can, we'll help you too...... A ...... looking for your parents" said that, my voice became quieter and quieter.
"Really?" The boy's eyes lit up and he grabbed my hands, "Thank you, thank you!" ”
"Uh...... Hmm...... "I can only respond vaguely." After chatting for a while, Xiao Lin took Lin Yifei to find a place to rest.
Then we closed the door, dimmed the lights and sat around. Since the death of Aaron Su, we have developed the habit of holding small meetings, because no matter how small a decision or choice is, it is a matter of survival in the last days, and only by absorbing everyone's ideas without reservation can we make the most appropriate choice at the moment.
But the meeting opened with silence, and no one knew where to start at this awkward juncture. Lin Yu took out a pack of Liqun cigarettes, took out one and smoked it, and the red sparks jumped in the dim room.
"That ......," I said at the same time as Lu Feng.
"Let's talk first." I gave way. I wanted to propose to pick up the boy's younger siblings tomorrow morning, but I still felt in my heart that this proposal should be made by Lu Feng, after all, he had the greatest responsibility.
However, what Lu Feng wanted to say was not about this, he coughed lightly twice and asked, "First of all, did you encounter anything strange today?" ”
Lin Yu was surprised: "Strange thing? ”
Lu Feng pushed his glasses and said, "When you came back, I found a lot of scratches and smudges on the car, which is evidence of being surrounded by zombies. There was a deep depression in the door, indicating that it had been hit by some heavy object. You took three oil drums with you when you set out, but when you came back there was only one left, and from the cargo box I found that there were traces of dragging the oil drums outward, and from the traces of dragging, the discarded oil drums should have been filled with oil.
Why drag a full oil drum out? I guess there was something you couldn't deal with, and I ended up trying to get rid of it by detonating the oil drums, as evidenced by the slight burn marks on the cargo door. ”
I looked at Lin Yu, then at the fat man, and we looked at each other. If we hadn't known about Lu Feng's ability, we might have been shocked.
I explained how we got to a gas station, how we found blood and a graveyard in a convenience store, how we encountered a sudden monster when we were about to escape, and how we escaped at the last moment.
"Black-Eyed Giant?" Lu Feng muttered in his mouth.
"Well, do you have any clue?"
Lu Feng shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know at all, but the black blood vessels on my body ...... Don't you think it's similar to the blood vessels in the burning dead that we saw when we escaped from the campus? ”
I slapped my thigh, and I didn't even think about it.
"Alright, let's stop here for now," Lu Feng clasped his hands together on his chest, "and we're going to announce a discovery......
At this time, Tianliao took over the conversation: "We found that the so-called message from Eden on the radio, the sending station is actually located in the ...... of the city."
"What??" Although Tianliao said it lightly, the content of his words made us stunned.
At this time, the door was opened with a "click", and Xiao Lin walked in and said excitedly, "Is what you said true?" How can you be sure that the message is not from Eden? ”
Eden is like a lighthouse in the last days, although this lighthouse looms in the fog, but it gives the lost people confidence and spiritual sustenance, and now, this lighthouse has collapsed, the fog has dissipated, and we suddenly find that it is just a street lamp on the side of the road......
