Chapter 4 Departure

At night, when zombies are most active, the roars of zombies echo over the entire community. On a certain floor of a residential building in the community, the whole floor is dark and quiet, this phenomenon is particularly common in the last days at the beginning, most of the living people, as long as they are still at home after the end of the world, are now stuck at home and dare not go out, waiting for rescue.

At the end of the corridor was a private house, the door was open, and the inside was as black as the fire, and through the moonlight shining in, you could see that the house was in shambles. On the floor of the house, the body of a middle-aged woman was lying with her heart gouged out. Not far from the woman's corpse, there was a zombie with a dagger in his temple, and a young man in his 20s pressed under him.

…………

Zhou Hong felt that he had a very long dream, in the dream, Zhou Hong and his parents came to the seaside park, next to a rockery in the seaside park, the father who has never liked to take pictures suddenly proposed to take a family photo together, so the flattered mother called a photographer who made money by helping tourists take pictures nearby, and after paying five yuan, they took their first family photo under the rockery.

"Zhou Hong, smile." Father said; "Zhou Hong, you have to be happy forever!" Mother said.

In the middle of the photo, Zhou Hong grinned widely, his mother smiled quietly and happily on one side, and his father on the other side still looked old-fashioned and unsmiling.

"Zhou Hong, go back, I'm leaving."

After taking the photo, before Zhou Hong could react, his mother's voice came from the side. In a daze, Zhou Hong turned his head to look at his mother, only to see that his mother was still smiling quietly, looking at Zhou Hong's eyes full of love and nostalgia.

"Boom!"

Zhou Hong in the dream suddenly had an extra memory in his head---------- the end of the world came, fighting with zombies, and...... Mother lying in a pool of blood......

"No...... No! This is not true! This is not true! Grabbing his hair fiercely, Zhou Hong roared hoarsely, seeing the bright red slowly oozing from his mother's chest in front of him, and tears continued to pour out uncontrollably.

Roar loudly! It seems that as long as this is the case, you can erase those memories that suddenly appear in your head! As long as this is the case, the mother's fall in a pool of blood is just an illusion!

"Zhou Hong, be strong!" Mother still smiled quietly, "Let's go, go to your father, he is a bad old man, and his memory is not good, I don't feel at ease when I leave him alone." Mother said softly.

After hearing his mother's words, Zhou Hong, whose face was full of tears, suddenly felt in his heart, "Yes! And Dad! Dad ......" suddenly turned his head, and the place where his father was standing was empty for some time......

"Go ahead...... Go......" Mother's voice still lingers in her ears......

"Dad...... Mom...... "Ah! ”

With a frightened shout, Zhou Hong opened his eyes sweating profusely, and the first thing in his eyes was a dead zombie and a pair of orange corpse eyes full of bloodshot staring at him.

Moving the zombie away from his body, Zhou Hong felt that his heart was beating violently at this moment. The wound on the chest had healed, revealing strong and powerful muscles, as if they had not been injured again, some of the bones on the body seemed to have healed, and the wound on the shoulder blade where a large piece of flesh had been torn had already stopped bleeding and was a little itchy, indicating that new flesh had grown again.

It was still quiet, but judging by the slightly white sky outside the window, he was unconscious all night.

Although the changes that happened to him were magical, Zhou Hong obviously didn't have the heart to study it now. "Mom...... Mom......" The eyes that had just woken up slowly focused on the cold corpse of his mother, muttered softly, his eyes were red, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

"Woo...... Mother...... It's that I'm useless...... I'm late...... I didn't protect you and my father......" Zhou Hong slowly crawled to his mother's side, gently hugged his mother and stood up, his movements were so gentle that he was afraid that as long as he was a little stronger, he would hurt the old man in his arms, so he silently shed tears and carried his mother into the room.

Gently, she put her mother on her bed, took out a piece of her mother's favorite clothes from her closet, helped her mother change it, and then carefully wiped the blood on her body and face. During the whole process, Zhou Hong was biting his lip and crying, he didn't let himself cry loudly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the old man's peace.

In the end, Zhou Hong took out a single quilt and gently covered his mother, as if her mother was asleep.

Looking at his mother, who seemed quiet after "sleeping" on the bed, Zhou Hong slowly fell silent and stood silently beside the bed. He felt that his tears must have dried up, even though his eyes were red and swollen like double goldfish eyes due to crying, but no more tears flowed, and his brain was blank, so he stood silently.

"Hu ......" After a long time, Zhou Hong looked at the "sleeping" old man on the bed, reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, and pulled out a slightly tired smile: "Mom...... Rest assured...... I'll find our dad...... It won't worry you, you can get a good night's sleep before that......" After speaking, Zhou Hong silently exited the room and closed the door.

Looking at the sky outside the window, Zhou Hong took a deep breath, he was now going to fulfill his mother's last wish: to find his father.

It was also at this time that Zhou Hong finally brought back some attention to the abnormality in his body, "This is...... The wounds are all gone? Or rather...... Healed overnight? One hand pressed on his chest, which was originally a blood hole, Zhou Hong was surprised.

He shook his right hand, which was already able to move flexibly, "No! Last night at the last ...... That zombie has gouged out my heart! Such an injury alone, not to mention that it can be healed overnight, even if a person loses his heart, he will definitely die! But after one night, not only am I not dead, my wounds are healed, and I am even ...... I can still feel my heart beating! What's going on?? ”

Looking at the empty hands of the zombies on the ground on the side, Zhou Hong couldn't understand it anymore.

But Zhou Hong has a characteristic---------- he has a big nerves, and he usually quickly puts it aside and doesn't think about it anymore, Zhou Hong's creed: existence is truth. So now he is the same, after a long ...... After thinking for half a minute, Zhou Hong decisively gave up thinking about this problem that gave him a headache.

"Whew...... It's more important to find your father first," Zhou Hong muttered to himself.

First of all, Zhou Hong tried to call his father's mobile phone, but I don't know if it was because the battery was out or what, the other party kept showing the shutdown status, but Zhou Hong did not give up hope, he still has a unique contact information between him and his father----------- leave a password.

This is a small game that Zhou Hong occasionally watched some anti-Japanese war films when he was very young, and he suddenly wanted to pester his father and him to play a small game---------- that is, let his father and himself play the role of some secret liaison personnel in the anti-Japanese war films, and then the two sides agreed on a joint code that only they can understand, and then one went somewhere to hide it, and the other needed to find the other party according to the code left on some or on the ground or on the wall or tree trunk along the way.

After finding it, usually my father will give Zhou Hong a small reward: or a small toy, or a few candies...... Then this game Zhou Hong became addicted as soon as he played it...... And every time he plays a trick to let his father act as the one who hides, and Zhou Hong is the one who is looking for it......

In this way, he has been playing with his father for many years, which can be said to be one of the few entertainment items in his childhood.

It's just that after Zhou Hong grew up slowly, and after he had a mobile phone, a tool that can communicate thousands of miles away, he didn't play this game for many years, and his father seemed to be a little disappointed in this.

Thinking of the little tricks he played when he was a child, Zhou Hong couldn't help but laugh, and then frowned again: "Alas...... God bless my dad remembers this little game that we used to play a lot...... Forehead...... Also remember to leave a mark around you before you run away...... Otherwise, it's really hard to find......" Zhou Hong muttered.

The city is actually very small, just a small city of the fifth tier, to put it in normal times, there is a car or a small motorcycle, and it is also a quick thing to travel around the city; But not now, now there are such deformed lives everywhere outside, although the zombies at this stage are slow, but they can't bear the huge number...... If a living person runs around outside, he will soon attract the attention of the zombies around him, and he will be surrounded by a group of zombies, and finally be bitten to death alive.

This creates operational difficulties.

"Anyway, let's go to the place where Dad used to play cards." After making a decision, Zhou Hong turned out an empty backpack at home, put some edible water and compressed biscuits, candy, canned meat and other food in it, and then put some small objects that he brought with him when he escaped from the underground shopping mall into the backpack, and when he passed by the zombies on the ground, he held the dagger handle on the zombie's head with one hand, stepped on the zombie's chest with one foot, and slammed it hard, "Huh! The jet-black dagger stuck in the skull was pulled out by Zhou Hong.

"Like...... My strength has also increased? Is it my delusion? Looking at the zombie brains sticking to the dagger, and casually glancing at the shriveled eyeball on the zombie's shoulder, Zhou Hong pursed his lips and didn't think much about it.

"Let's go! Target: Splendid Hotel! Silently shouted in his heart, standing at the door of the house, Zhou Hong finally glanced back at home, and walked in the direction of the elevator without looking back.
