Chapter Eighty-Eight, The Riverbank

"Uh-uh-uh......"

A desperate wail was heard, and a dead man covered in stab wounds came into view.

It's not Ye Lao, so where is he? I felt a bang pop in my head. Zhang Hao also pressed his head with his hand, and Guan Fei sighed heavily.

"Damn!"

I snatched the stick from Guan Fei's hand and was about to plunge it into the deceased's skull when the tip of a knife burst out of its face.

The deceased fell to the ground with a puff, revealing Ye Lao's blood-stained body: "It's really hanging, the old decay was almost reimbursed there." ”

"Ye Lao!" "Old man!" We shouted out at the same time, and a tense heart instantly settled.

"Let's go, with the experience of old age, this time is the most relaxing."

So we continued down the sewers. When the city's system collapsed, the sewers became uncleaned, and the previous heavy rains washed in the city with the remnants of human garbage and the severed limbs of the dead, leaving the city smelling in.

Perhaps in a few years, when nature has erased all signs of human existence, and one day this underground passage will be filled with sediment, or the road will collapse and destroy it, in short, the struggle between man and the walking corpse, man and himself, will be like the last performance of this primate who once stood at the top of the food chain.

After that, humanity will completely evaporate from this world like dinosaurs, waiting for the world to reshuffle, and the next intelligent species will unearth our remains and declare that an asteroid impact caused our demise.

I thought about this mess for a while, and we walked for a long time, and the sound of footsteps kept coming from the manhole cover overhead, but the further back we went, the quieter it became.

"That's pretty much it!" Ye Lao said.

There was a long iron ladder in front of us, and we climbed up the iron ladder, and then carefully pushed open the manhole cover, and the orange sky appeared in front of us. A large blood-red rain cloud floated in the sky, and the shadows on the edge seemed to flash through it.

We climbed out. There were indeed a lot of walking corpses here, and the few dead who were hesitant to approach were all dealt with by Ye Lao's long blade.

The evening breeze blows across our faces, and the sight is open. An artificial river flows through it, and on the other side of the river is the eastern side of Pegasus City. An iron bridge spanned the two banks, and as far as the eye could see, I saw the giant billboard of the Pegasus People's Radio.

There was a small group of walking corpses on the iron bridge walking this way, in order to avoid unnecessary fighting, Ye Lao led us down to the river bank and passed under the dim bridge hole. The bridge is overgrown with weeds, and all kinds of household garbage, stationery, and plastic bags are scattered all around.

It suddenly felt familiar, and then I quickly remembered it. When I was in junior high school, I was here when a group of us were "wandering" along the river from the other side of the city, and I remember that there were me, Twilight, Wang Sisi, and a few good friends in the class, we were in twos and threes, and we were not in a hurry to go home after school, and the nearby shopping malls and cafes were already tired of shopping, so someone proposed to "wander" along the river.

As we passed by the bridge, we were unfortunately entangled by a group of high school students and social thugs, and a drug addict showed us a needle in his arm and blackmailed us to take out all the money we had. I have forgotten the specific situation at that time, but I remember that in the end we didn't pay a penny and left in style. We were very happy to have escaped the catastrophe, and we talked and laughed in the river facing the sunset.

It's already ...... It's a far, far away thing. When we got out of the bridge, the orange clouds in the sky became redder, and the weeping willows on the shore fluttered in the wind, and at first glance it looked like the scene of that wandering, as if it were the next day.

I remembered something, so I turned to Zhang Hao and said, "I'm sorry buddy, I have always misunderstood you before, but if it weren't for you and Ye Lao this time, we would definitely not be able to pass this level......"

Zhang Hao nodded happily: "No, Brother Chen, I am naturally more timid and afraid of death, but I know that this will definitely not work in this world, so I am also trying to make myself stronger and integrate into you, I hope Brother Chen can help me in the future!" ”

"Well, it has to be......" I reached for his hand.

Suddenly, I didn't know that there was a "bang" of gunshots, and I reflexively shrank my head. When I looked at Jang Ho again, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, his eyes were frightened, and his heart was stained red.

"Hey, Jang Ho?"

But he couldn't say a word, and his lifeless body fell to me. I hugged him, Ye Lao pulled me from behind, Zhang Hao's body was shot several times, I saw a group of people walking out of the darkness of the bridge cave, I recognized Lin Yifei and his two "partners" among them.

"Run!" Ye Lao commanded us to walk through the willow trees to dodge the incoming bullets.

I had no choice but to hurriedly discard Jang Ho's body and run quickly. The bullets stopped after a while, and we saw a stone staircase leading to the road, and we were about to run up, when a large group of dead people showed their faces from above, and we immediately shrank back in fright.

It turned out that no more shootings were fired for fear of attracting more walking corpses.

We had no choice but to cling to the tree, covering our bodies and running forward. Looking back, Lin Yifei and his gang were also chasing after them, and there were at least twenty or thirty of them.

"Uh-uh-uh......"

The cacophony of screams from above was terrifying, and it was not hard to imagine the number of corpses behind the sound.

The banks of the river are long, long and stretch to the end of the view. Suddenly, a dead man rolled down in front of him, his head twisting at an incredible angle as it rolled. It slowly stood up and held out its hand to us.

Ye Lao "drank" lightly and cut off its head. But as if the slash had touched a switch, a dense black shadow suddenly rushed down the road like a wave rushing to the beach.

"My Taishang Laojun......" Ye Lao muttered in a low voice, and hurriedly took us away from the tree and ran against the railing by the river.

I saw that the wide slope that connected the river bank to the road suddenly became a trap for the dead. Most of the dead rolled down from above, but they immediately got up and screamed and rushed at us.

Ye Lao swung his long knife vigorously, trying to fend off the walking corpses attacking us. I also took the assault rifle on Guan Fei's shoulder, but the hand holding the handle of the gun was a little shaky, and I didn't know where to start attacking.

Gunfire erupted. The group in the rear had already started shooting. I also raised my gun, put the butt against my shoulder, and began to aim. it! With a pull on the trigger, the bullet "swooped" and knocked the row of walking corpses that were approaching us to the ground.

"Keep running, don't stop!" Ye Lao shouted.

While assault rifles are effective at keeping the walking dead out of reach, I feel like there are not many bullets left that I can't waste anymore.

"Guan Fei, change it!" I proposed, and took Lin from his back. He picked up a stick and joined the warband. With him and Ye Lao, we can barely support ourselves from being devoured by the corpses.

There were a few screams behind him, and several of the gang were bitten by the rolling zombies. Others raised their guns and fired in fear.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the number of walking corpses finally gradually decreased, and since we held back and did not shoot again, the attention of the corpses was not on us.

Towards the end of the riverbank, we held our breath and rushed up the slope. When I looked back, Lin Yifei and his group were still struggling among the corpses, and unexpectedly, I touched his cold gaze, which didn't look like the gaze of a person in a desperate situation, and I suddenly shuddered.

"Let's go!" Ignoring them, we crossed the road and walked off into the distance.
