Chapter XVII: Containment

This was the second night Xu Shenzhou experienced after the cataclysm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

And this night still made Xu Shenzhou thrilling.

It's not that he's had some unexpected event in reality, it's that he's having another nightmare.

It's still the kind of dream that seems to be in the torment of purgatory, and that dream is still repeating and repeating the experience and process of fighting, death, and rebirth, which is a desire to break down.

But this time, the dream was a little more real and longer.

In that increasingly dangerous apocalyptic environment, the blue-skinned mutants and those mutant monsters have evolved more and more powerful and terrifying, and the human race is as weak as lambs to be slaughtered.

The scenes of blood and killing have been repeated and repeated, Xu Shenzhou feels that each of those blue-skinned mutants seems to know him, and he is constantly chasing and killing, he has fled to countless corners of the entire earth, and he can be found and hunted down by those mutants.

In the nightmare, with nowhere to go and no escape, he was captured by the blue-faced men in robes and carried into the terrifying laboratory to carry out a bloody and tragic human experiment.

Especially the blue-faced man was holding a knife, and his blood-red eyes were filled with cruel blood devouring and cold mockery, and then he swung it towards his body.

Xu Shenzhou wanted to struggle, but it was all in vain, just like that, when he watched the knife swing down, he deviated and waited for death.

However, when he turned his head, he saw something even more terrifying.

He saw that his parents, who he cared about the most, had also turned into blue-skinned mutants, standing beside him, staring at him with hideous and terrifying faces and cold, blood-red eyes.

At that moment, Xu Shenzhou only felt a wordless pain in the depths of his soul, a heart-like pain, which was more unbearable for him than the repeated cycle of battle and death, and he almost collapsed.

Eventually, the nightmare dissipated when the pain tortured him on the verge of collapse.

When Xu Shenzhou woke up and opened his eyes, it was already dawn.

I looked at the time, it was seven o'clock in the morning.

I got up and moved my body briefly, but I felt that my mental state was surprisingly good, and my physical strength was very abundant, and the nightmare last night seemed to have forgotten some of it, and I couldn't recall it a little.

After all, the nightmare was too painful and depressing, and Xu Shenzhou deliberately didn't want to think about it, so he left the lounge.

The young Shen Yuefeng was still lying on the sofa and sleeping, and the trainee teacher Lin Xiaoling was sitting quietly by the window, when she saw Xu Shenzhou coming out, her eyes were a little shy and evasive, and her pretty face was as red as a ripe peach in autumn, and she immediately turned her face unnaturally.

Xu Shenzhou was a little puzzled by the strange expression of this woman.

He didn't bother to ask, he went to the window and opened the curtains, and saw that the weather outside was still gloomy and inky, and although it didn't rain anymore, there was a heavy fog.

Bizarre and weird, in this fog, it slowly began to mix with a scarlet color, the color of blood.

This abnormal phenomenon made Xu Shenzhou's heart a little solemn and uneasy, and he felt that something not very good should have happened last night.

So he asked Lin Xiaoling: "After I slept last night, what was the unusual movement?" ā€

When Lin Xiaoling heard this, she suddenly blushed again and lowered her head and did not speak.

Xu Shenzhou saw that she didn't answer, frowned, and woke up the young man on the sofa.

After the young Huo Ran woke up, he saw Xu Shenzhou pushing him, so he relaxed and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ā€

Xu Shenzhou repeated what he asked Lin Xiaoling again.

But the young man looked strange, looked at him, and then looked at the trainee teacher who was blushing to the root of his ears, and finally said honestly: "Brother, you slept with Teacher Lin in your arms last night!" ā€

"I, hug... Ahem......"

This kid didn't answer what he asked, and Xu Shenzhou was about to scold, but he reacted, coughed and stopped blurting out what he was about to say.

glanced at Lin Xiaoling, who was very unnatural over there, before slapping this kid on the head and said, "I'm asking you what happened outside last night, what nonsense are you talking about?" ā€

When the young man saw Mr. Lin's embarrassed and angry expression, he knew that he had leaked his mouth, and replied with a sneering face: "There was nothing abnormal in this neighborhood last night, but the explosions in the industrial area were more frequent and violent, and there was no movement there until the second half of the night!" ā€

Xu Shenzhou felt that something was not right, so he told the two: "Use this time, you guys eat something to replenish it first, stay vigilant at any time, I'll go down and take a look, and we will set off for Wanxian City in a while!" ā€

"Yay!"

When the young man heard that Xu Shenzhou wanted to go with him and no longer have to be separated, he couldn't help but clench his fists and cheer, and even the corners of the intern teacher Lin Xiaoling's mouth couldn't help showing a hint of joy.

Downstairs, Xu Shenzhou went around to the front and reconnoitred in all directions, then opened the roller shutter door with the key he found last night and gently pulled it up, and saw a garbage truck parked inside.

The style of the garbage truck is compression, domestic Dongfeng, milky white body, overall relatively new, and the maintenance is very good.

The garbage truck bin was empty, and the door could be opened at once, but there was no car key in the car, and there was no one looking around, so Xu Shenzhou asked the teenager to look upstairs.

After a while, the intern teacher walked in with the two teenagers, and the intern teacher was meticulous, and even took off Xu Shenzhou's backpack.

After the teenager handed over a car key to Xu Shenzhou, he said that he had found it in a drawer in his office.

Xu Shenzhou sat in the driver's seat, and after powering up with the car key, the data on the dial were normal, and the fuel tank was full, so he couldn't help but be very satisfied.

The boy didn't know how to drive a car, he thought that there were motorcycles in the yard, so he said: "Brother, the two motorcycles in the yard I checked just now are no problem, since you want to drive this garbage truck on the road, it is better to take the two motorcycles and put them in the trunk, if you encounter a bad road, the motorcycle can come in handy, what do you think?" ā€

In fact, Xu Shenzhou also had this plan, the young man said so, he naturally pushed the boat with the current.

Although he had never driven a truck before, it was very easy for Xu Shenzhou to get started.

After he was familiar with the configuration and functions of the car in the driver's seat, he started the car after letting the trainee teacher and the teenager get into the car, and drove out of the small building very skillfully and naturally, even he himself was a little surprised why he would be able to touch it, as if he was born instinctively.

Driving the garbage truck to the gate of the backyard, Xu Shenzhou got out of the car and was about to open the big iron gate, when he suddenly heard the shouts of the young man in the car: "Brother, there is a corpse dog coming!" ā€

The fog was foggy, and the visibility was not far away, Xu Shenzhou turned his head and saw two corpse dogs running towards him, and there was still some distance, and then pushed the big iron gate open.

"Brother, it's not good, it's not two corpse dogs, it's a group of corpses, it's a lot, come up!"

At this time, I heard the anxious cry of the young man in the car.

Xu Shenzhou turned his face, and sure enough, in addition to the two corpse dogs, in the fog, many living corpses appeared.

Because it was a wilderness outside, it seemed that there were many of them in all directions, and it was only twenty or thirty meters away from the garbage transfer station, which made Xu Shenzhou's face change.

At this time, those living corpses also found Xu Shenzhou and began to charge.

After giving up the plan to take the two motorcycles, he hurried to the door and was about to get into the car, but a living corpse had already rushed over and grabbed his legs.

With such a slight delay, many living corpses rushed to the car door one after another.

The people in the car were shocked, and the boy wanted to lower the window to help stop him, so he picked up his cane and stabbed the living corpse down.

The intern teacher was so anxious that she burst into tears, and simply grabbed Xu Shenzhou's clothes and pulled them in desperately.

Xu Shenzhou was not flustered, he cooperated with the young man's crutches and kicked out a few kicks, kicked a few living corpses away to find a gap and got into the car, and those living corpses also wanted to squeeze in.

There were a lot of living corpses crowded at the door of the car, and seeing that the door could not be closed, Xu Shenzhou kicked the living corpse he wanted to come up with his foot to avoid being caught and bitten, so he let the young man continue to stab with his cane.

The young man's crutches also played a role, giving Xu Shenzhou a few seconds of free time, he quickly stepped on the clutch gear with one foot, and then released the throttle to increase the yard force, then quickly put down the handbrake, and the garbage truck jumped out quickly.

In this way, a lot of living corpses were brought down, and the vehicle also hit a few when it accelerated, but there were still a few living corpses hanging on the door of the car and trying to drill in.

The young man's movements still did not stop, after he stabbed a living corpse in the eye with the tip of his cane and stabbed it down, Xu Shenzhou also took the time to pull out a long knife and stab him in the eye of another living corpse and kicked him out, only then did he successfully close the car door and sweat.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw a pair of white and tender hands reaching over, holding a towel to gently wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.

Xu Shenzhou turned his face to look at her in surprise, and the intern teacher quickly withdrew his hand, his pretty face flushed.

"Thank you!"

I thanked him, and I didn't pay much attention to these subsections.

Seeing that the surrounding barren beach was full of wandering living corpses, fortunately, due to the foggy weather, the visibility was lower, and those living corpses were also relatively scattered, Xu Shenzhou immediately shifted gears and accelerated, crashed into the air one after another, or crushed several living corpses, and began to speed on the road.

Looking from the rearview mirror, there is a group of living corpses chasing behind, and every time the garbage truck gets rid of a batch, the nearby ones will join the chasing army, so they have a long tail.

The young man Shen Yuefeng observed the situation outside the window, looked at the living corpses wandering around, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, it seems that so many living corpses are not from the urban area of Wanxian, but like scattered from the industrial zone!" ā€

Xu Shenzhou said: "You should be glad that the chemical plant held out for a while last night, and you should be glad that you slept well, these living corpses only wandered here in the morning after the chemical plant was captured in the middle of the night and dispersed, otherwise we will be blocked by the corpses on the small building of the garbage transfer station!" ā€

The young man looked scared and worried: "Brother, there are nearly 10,000 living corpses in the industrial area alone, and there are at least 200,000 people in the urban area of Wanxian County, if it also falls, I'm afraid the number of living corpses will be even larger, what should I do?" ā€

Xu Shenzhou scanned the surrounding movements while driving, listened to the young man's words, and said a little heavily: "The city is a dangerous place of death, you can't enter, as for whether you want to go in to find your mother's whereabouts, it's up to you to make your own choice, I respect your decision!" ā€

Faced with a choice again, the teenager became entangled in pain.
