Chapter 43, Xiao Rou
Surprisingly, Xiao Rou, who was clumsy on land but was an expert swimmer in the water, pulled me to swim forward quickly, across the platform, and onto the railroad tracks. I shone it back with a flashlight, and the legs of a large number of zombies were still swinging in the water, chasing in the direction of Guan Fei and the others fled.
So I shone again at the ends of the railroad tracks, and the rails at the right end swayed into the distance in the swaying of the water, and disappeared into the deep darkness where no light could even shine. On the tracks at the left end, something unexpected appeared, a long train.
I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I picked up Xiaorou and swam towards the left end, and after I drifted away from the platform to make sure that we would not be found by the corpses, we finally surfaced with a "whoosh".
I opened my mouth wide and breathed in the fresh air. I felt dizzy in my head, and I almost suffocated. After calming down, a behemoth appeared in front of me, with a white body and black windows, and the carriage stretched out into the distance one by one.
Since the sound of corpses wading in the water was still heard, and soaking in the water for a long time was not an option, we decided to climb on the roof of the car. But the car was submerged under the window, so we had to climb up the edge of the window.
I stretched out my hand, barely reaching the edge of the roof, and was about to climb up. A terrifying face suddenly appeared in the dark window, and its mouth was cracked at a very large angle, and if it weren't for this layer of glass, I would have been devoured alive by it. I fell back into the water with a pop, and Xiao Rou covered her mouth and screamed.
Only then did we realize that there was definitely more than this zombie hiding behind the window, and there were many wobbling, pale faces approaching the window, their muddy teeth biting at the glass and making a sharp grinding sound.
We swam along the car, and the windows were crowded with zombies along the way. It is possible that the train was broken into by an infected person at the time of the outbreak of the virus, and then the whole car turned into the walking dead, and the train stopped on the way to the next station.
We came to the junction of the two carriages, where we could climb up with the help of the edge of the junction. So I stretched out my hand and rubbed my feet up against the edge. The water-soaked clothes and shoes were very heavy, so I finally climbed up, turned over and gasped on the roof of the car for a while, and then pulled Xiaorou up again.
"Thank you so much just now!" I gasped and said to her.
"Just now?" She wrung the water from the skirt of her school uniform.
"I was given artificial respiration under the water just now, otherwise I would really stop cooking!" I also took off my shoes and left my socks to dry. The cold metallic texture of the roof came, and the bottom of the ass was cold.
She let out a sigh unconsciously. I saw her small and delicate face flushed, her hands clasped on the chest of her soaked shirt, her feet closed, and her white legs and small feet covered with water under her skirt.
"Flashlight!" She was disgruntled.
I realized that I had turned the light on her, and quickly turned it off, "yes, I'm sorry!" β
"It's okay......"
We fell silent. Xiao Rou's appearance in the light just now was deeply imprinted in my mind, wet hair, light red lips, looming breasts on the wet shirt, and white and flawless feet...... I swallowed, and the normal male hormones made my heart beat faster and my ears hot.
Could it be that she was embarrassed because she had just done artificial respiration underwater? I recalled the faint cold touch on my lips, and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, and I would have saved my companion in the same way, but she was so embarrassed, and I felt embarrassed too.
"Ahh She suddenly sneezed. I also gradually felt a little cooler, and it was not a way to put my soaked clothes on my body like this.
I listened intently, made sure that the sound of the corpses was not lessening, decisively took off my coat, wrung it out, and began to wipe myself.
"Senior, what are youβwhat are you doing?" Xiao Rou said in a panic.
"I took off my clothes, it's easy to catch a cold if I go on like this, you take off your clothes too, I'll turn my head and won't look at you." In fact, in such darkness, you can't see anything without turning on the lights.
She let out another thump, and after a while, she heard the sound of rustling clothes and wiping her body. I couldn't help but start making up the spring in my head, but I immediately shook my head.
We fell silent again, and the moaning and moving sounds of zombies could be heard from under the roof of a car. At this time, there was a sudden cold sensation in my back, which startled me a lot.
"Don't get out of the way, let me lean on you like this, okay? I'm scared! Xiao Rou's trembling voice came.
I felt Xiao Rou's cold and smooth back gradually come up, and then the clinging part slowly warmed up. I didn't know what to say, so I had to speak: "I don't know what happened to Guan Fei and them now?" I think they're going to be in the hospital soon, maybe they've already started to knife Lu Feng, haha! β
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Xiaorou's sobbing, and her whole back was trembling slightly.
"What, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, we'll survive! I encouraged.
She sobbed, "IβI'm not afraid...... I just feel happy...... It's good to meet you...... That's nice...... I feel happier than I used to ......."
"Before? What happened before? β
Xiao Rou sobbed and poured out, from her few words, I knew everything that happened to this girl. That's a sad story.
The cruelty of the student world is unimaginable and impossible for adults to experience. This cruelty is even more straightforward and brutal than the cruelty of the adult world. Of course, this is only for a very few people who have bad luck, and Xiaorou is exactly such a person.
Xiaorou's mother is a nurse in the hospital, gentle and demure, but she always meets unladylike people, and has been divorced three times, and Xiaorou is also forced to adapt to different families. After going to high school, because of such a mother, the classmates around her would more or less hear all kinds of rumors from their parents, and Xiaorou was very popular with the boys in the class at first, and the girls who were jealous of her began to deliberately slander her and isolate her in the small circle.
At first, it was just that she often plagiarized her homework, borrowed things and didn't return them, and didn't come home late from school, but then the rumors became more and more excessive, saying that she had sex with boys from other schools at an early age, and even said that she had an abortion, and in the end, the rumors escalated to slander her that she was raped by her stepfather......
The girls isolated her very early, and gradually, even the boys felt that she was dirty and alienated her. This isolation later evolved into verbal abuse, ridicule, and playfulness, and then into violence......
On the way out of school, she would be surrounded by a crowd of delinquent girls, first slapping and abusive, then tearing her clothes, pushing her down the river, and rescuing her when she almost drowned. Gradually, she even learned to swim on her own.
During the days of school accommodation, Xiaorou was beaten by a group of girls every day, stripped naked, and cut her hair, and her roommates chose to turn a blind eye to the trouble, and over time, they even took her beating for granted. On several occasions, she was even stripped naked and pushed into the hallway in the dead of night "for people to see".
She tried to turn to her mother for help, but she was in the middle of another marriage and had no time to take care of it.
Living in fear and anxiety every day, she washes her face with tears all day long, and her academic performance naturally deteriorates, and she is sneered at by the teacher when she studies poorly, and what she says naturally cannot be trusted by the teacher. As a result, rumors that her grades deteriorated due to debauchery and that her teachers were disgusted were even more popular, which led to more discrimination and isolation......
The Ouroboros of this vicious circle bit Xiao Rou tightly, making her unable to move. She lived in such a cruel world until she met us in the last days. And what she's doing now is the only thing she can do to help us in the last days.
"But I can't help at all, and I'm going to have you trapped in a place like this with me......" she sobbed and let out a muffled cry.
I felt pity, and if it weren't for being naked now, I think I'd turn around and hug her tightly.
The cries still echoed in the quiet tunnel, a little terrifying. But I was surprised to find that there was no more screaming of corpses around, I climbed forward a few meters and then listened attentively, only to hear the sparse sound of wading water, so the corpses should have gone seven, seven, eight, eight.
"Xiaorou, it's time to go!" I grabbed the flashlight and shone it back, but I didn't expect a slender white back to appear naked in front of me, and I quickly removed the light.
We put on our wrung out clothes again, climbed off the train, and swam into the hall again.
At that moment, I heard several loud "crackling" noises from above, and suddenly, a heavy object smashed from the ceiling on the water in the middle of the hall, and there was an astonishing "Boom! At the same time, there was a high splash of water.
When I took the flashlight, I noticed that there were cracks in the ceiling, and the stones began to detach from the surface of the ceiling. A few more concrete boulders fell down, and there was a bangββ! Knock ββ! Knock ββ! The splash filled the entire subway space, and I had to squint.
