Chapter 9 Fate hangs by a thread

Ren Wei ran through the passage with his luggage on his back, he didn't know where the passage leads, and he didn't know what he would encounter next, but he didn't have a choice, if he wanted to live, he had to keep moving forward.

I don't know how long I ran, Ren Wei saw a faint light in front of him.

"It's almost to the exit!" Ren Wei's spirits were greatly lifted, and the speed under his feet was a little faster, he didn't want to look like the exit in front of him, and when he really tried to get close, he found that it was not so easy.

Finally, more than ten minutes later, Ren Wei crawled out of the passage out of breath.

The exit was in a forest, and it seemed that Ren Wei had passed through Hurricane Town underground, and had reached the periphery of Hurricane Town. After several twists and turns, Ren Wei finally escaped from Hurricane Town, but a new problem was immediately placed in front of Ren Wei.

"Which way should I go now?" Ren Wei sighed, he can distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, just look at the moss. However, he had no map on him, and he didn't know where he was, so he didn't know how to get out safely.

"The food is about enough for me to eat for two days, and the water is about the same, so I'll take a gamble and choose to walk east or west for two days, and as long as I'm not too lucky, I'll definitely find the road." Having made up his mind, Ren Wei was going to close the door of the passage, and then kicked a few feet of dirt to camouflage before leaving.

At this moment, Ren Wei noticed half a footprint near the exit, as well as traces of broken grass branches. Seeing this scene, Ren Wei's mind flashed.

"That's right! How did I forget. Before me, the shadow escaped. With his familiarity with the basement, he must have walked through this passage more than once, so he must have planned where to go after leaving the passage, and I would be much more reliable to follow him than to walk blindly on my own. Thinking of this, Ren Wei hurriedly looked at the surroundings carefully, and after determining the direction in which the black shadow left, Ren Wei followed without hesitation.

After a half-day drive in the forest, Ren Wei couldn't hold on and had to stop to rest. After eating and drinking against the tree, Ren Wei began to recover his strength, and at the same time thought that if he escaped, he would return to China as soon as possible; But then I thought that if I felt that I had escaped, I should contact the government immediately, because no one outside knew the situation in Hurricane Town better than myself, and if I had reported in more detail, I might be able to save more survivors like him, so that Smith, Emily, and Mina would have a better chance of being rescued.

"I'm not a savior, but I'm not an ungrateful person either, and I have family and friends waiting for me, and I have to get out alive for whomever it is." Thinking of this, Ren Wei gritted his teeth and stood up, took two deep breaths, and continued to walk forward slowly but firmly.

Walking a long distance, Ren Wei suddenly found that the grass in front of him was extremely messy, he immediately took the gun off his body, aimed it at that place, and then approached cautiously. When he got closer, Ren Wei saw a man in a black field uniform lying on the ground.

The man appeared to be unconscious, still holding a pistol tightly in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was mounted*.

"Could it be that this man is the dark shadow who left the basement? When is he? How did you get hurt? Ren Wei was shocked when he saw that the man in black had a gun. Just as he wanted to get closer to see clearly, the footsteps were a little louder. The man in black lying on the ground opened his eyes suddenly, raised his hand and pointed the gun at Ren Wei.

"Calm down! I have no ill will! Ren Wei hurriedly explained.

The vigilance in the eyes of the man in black remained undiminished, and the muzzle of the gun still did not move, and he did not say a word.

Ren Wei had no choice but to slowly remove the gun he was holding and express his sincerity with his actions. Then he asked, "You're the one who ran out of the basement, aren't you?" How did you get hurt? ”

The man in black finally moved the muzzle of the gun a little away and stopped aiming at Ren Wei any longer. "That's right, I left through the tunnel, my name is William. As for the wounds on my body, it wasn't the bald madman who shot me indiscriminately and was inadvertently hit by him. ”

This man named William spoke in a hoarse voice, but the speed of speech was relatively slow, giving people a very stable feeling.

"Seeing that you can escape from Hurricane Town, you must have some ability, how about we make a deal?" William then said.

Ren Wei's eyes flashed, as if he guessed what William was going to say, but he still asked cautiously: "What deal?" ”

"I'm a killer, so I always have some back roads around the town where I live in case I need them. Originally, I was going to drive away at the beginning of the mutation, but now it seems that the time has come to use these back-up hands, and I will not hide it from you, and if we go twenty kilometers further on, we will reach the Biru River, hide a small boat by the river, and go down the river to the town of Gran. All you have to do is take me to the river, and I find the boat, and we both can escape from this hellish place. ”

Ren Wei saw that the content of the transaction proposed by William was not bad as he expected, so he did not hesitate and agreed.

"Can you still stand up?" Ren Wei asked.

"Give me a hand, I'll try." William lucked his luck and said.

"Good!" Ren Wei said, put the gun on his back, walked up to William, grabbed his forearm, and pulled William up with force.

William, who stood up, seemed to be unstable on his footing, and his body shook and fell on Ren Wei.

Ren Wei hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and asked, "What?" Is it so badly hurt? ”

William replied, "I really can't exert my strength, it seems that I need you to carry me." ”

When Ren Wei heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and threw away most of the supplies he had brought, leaving only a bottle of water and two boxes of bullets in his pocket. Then he put the gun in his hand, turned his back to William and said, "Come up!" He half-crouched down.

William also put the gun in his arms, and then half-lay on Ren Wei's back.

When he stood up, Ren Wei suddenly remembered something and asked William: "By the way, your injuries won't worsen in the bumps, right?" ”

"It's okay! I've done it, you don't have to worry about that, just get to the river as fast as you can, otherwise even if I'm intact, we're still in danger. William replied.

Since William said that it was okay, Ren Wei no longer hesitated, and walked briskly in the direction William pointed out.

As the distance from the target got closer and closer, Ren Wei's breathing became more and more rapid, and his body shook a little involuntarily.

"Hold on a little longer, and you'll be there." William saw Ren Wei's state and encouraged him on the side.

Lines of sweat flowed down Ren Wei's face, but he was still persisting due to the monster's threat to his life. In their current state, if they couldn't get far enough away from that kind of monster, once they touched one, they would be dead.

Finally, Ren Wei, who was moving forward, seemed to hear the sound of gurgling water, he only felt his spirit lifted, and the strength that gushed out of nowhere rushed out, and the whole person rushed up. The sound of flowing water became clearer and clearer, and Ren Wei ran and ran in front of him, and suddenly opened up, only to see the woods, and behind a short clearing, a clear river appeared in front of him.

"William! Where's your ship? Ren Wei is now almost back to the light, holding back the last strength, wanting to board the ship in one go.

"Quick! Go left until you reach a place where you can see a fallen tree. William also saw that Ren Wei was about to reach the limit, and said hurriedly.

Ren Wei didn't dare to hesitate for a second, turned around with William on his back and ran to the left. Soon, he saw the tree that William was talking about, and ran closer, Ren Wei put William off his back and put the gun on his back. Then, according to the instructions, in the gap between the trunk of the fallen giant tree and the ground less than a meter or so, a tarpaulin disguised as ground was lifted, and the boat that Ren Wei dreamed of appeared in front of him.

But the moment he saw the boat, Ren Wei's pupils couldn't help but shrink: the boat in front of him couldn't fit two people at all. Ren Wei subconsciously wanted to touch the gun he was carrying behind him.

At this time, William's mocking voice sounded behind Ren Wei: "I advise you not to act rashly, Mr. Anonymous." ”

Ren Wei turned around slowly, and saw William holding An's pistol aimed at him for a long time.

"You lied to me!" Ren Wei asked angrily. "You're not hurt at all!"

"Of course it didn't hurt. Can any of you hurt me? Joke! William smiled disdainfully. I thought all of you were going to die in that basement, but I didn't think you'd be able to escape. And a little clever, he can keep up with me. Since I have labor that I can use for free, I can't miss it, after all, I also put a lot of effort into killing monsters. It's easy for me to put on a show, so why not? And if I encounter that kind of monster in the woods, one more decoy to distract it, and I have a better chance of surviving. ”

"You're using me as bait?" Ren Wei's eyes were about to erupt with fire when he heard this.

"I never asked your name, and you didn't notice it, because in my eyes there was no need for a dead man to know a name. From the beginning, your fate was sealed, I originally wanted to wait for you to tow the boat to the river before sending you on the road, but I didn't expect you to be quite meticulous in your observations, so I had to do it in advance. Goodbye, Anonymous. At this point, William pulled the trigger.

Ren Wei, of course, was not prepared to sit still, and the moment William fired, he slammed into the boat.

William had time to shoot, but he hesitated a little for fear of accidentally injuring the boat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ren Wei climbed across the boat to the other side of the tree, hid behind the tree, took off his gun, and checked the bullets.

At this time, Ren Wei suddenly felt a little dizzy, and every muscle in his body was shaking uncontrollably, as if it had been filed by a file.

"Oops! I'm out of strength! "Ren Wei's heart is not good, he can't escape like this." Hopefully, I'll be able to delay for a while, so that guy won't have the patience to go with me and choose to leave. "The matter has come to this, Ren Wei can only take a fluke and deal with William.

Suddenly, Ren Wei had an idea, he immediately stretched out the muzzle of the gun and shot in the direction where William was just now. After a few shots, Ren Wei shouted, "William! You and I are just trying to escape for our lives, and now that my gunfire goes off, maybe it will attract monsters, and neither of us will survive by then. Why don't you leave by boat now, and I'll fend for myself, how about we go our separate ways? ”

Ren Wei felt that this plan was very feasible, but he didn't expect William to give him no response at all, just as Ren Wei was about to poke his head out to observe what was going on outside, a voice sounded on his right side: "Your proposal is good!" But I can kill you right now, and then I'll leave by boat without much delay. ”

Ren Wei trembled all over when he heard this voice, and after reacting, he was about to shoot in the direction where the sound came from, but before he could aim, he felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, and the rifle came out of his hand.

At this time, William slowly appeared in Ren Wei's sight, and his mouth was still muttering: "You have seen my true face, I will not give you a way to live no matter what, why do you have to struggle, I will give you a good time, and you will have no troubles." ”

Ren Wei glared at William unwillingly. "I didn't expect that I didn't die under the mouth of the monster, and I saw that I had a chance to get out of trouble, but I was going to die under the gun of a killer."

Seeing that William was about to shoot Ren Wei, suddenly, there was a sound of "rustling" in the woods, from far and near, William hurriedly hid his figure when he heard it, and then turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the depths of the woods.
