Chapter 25: Despair After Hope
Now I have no ability to resist at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info The zombie was about to stick its head into my major artery. I'm ready to die. But I was still shouting, moving my hands and feet, and I didn't want to die yet. In the moment of life and death, I thought of many things, I thought of my mother, I thought of my dead father. Now I realize that I can't remember what my father looked like, because he has been dead for more than ten years, and I was a child when he died.
I remembered that I had never done a serious thing in my life, and I lived like a wreck. I didn't think that this kind of life of waiting for death would have much impact on me, but before I died, I thought that I still had nothing, and I felt an inexplicable sense of loss in my heart, and secretly thought in my heart that if I could live again, I would definitely do something vigorous. I also regret that I have always been a single dog and have never been in a relationship. I have someone I like, but I don't dare to confess. I'm so useless! I felt like death was coming to pick me up, and I felt like I heard my father's call.
The zombie had already put its head into my major artery, and suddenly, I was hit the head.
"Ahh I screamed in pain.
Instead of biting my major artery, the zombie hit me on the head with his head.
"Hmm, hmm, uhh My struggles and shouting stopped. I wonder if that zombie can't bite me because something is covering its mouth? When I think about it, I think it's a blessing in my misfortune.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh," and the zombie shouted again. I didn't feel like he was going to bite me after his mouth was sealed, and I don't know why, but I felt like he was trying to communicate with me.
I was shocked, what the hell is this? That's when I noticed that the thing behind me didn't emit the rancid smell that made me want to vomit, but the smell of a normal person's body mixed with the smell of a man's sweat. He was just like me, he was panting for breath because he had just run too fast. But he's not worse than me, he's just gasping for air. Maybe it's because I'm physically exhausted. But I felt like he was panting through his nose, not with his mouth open like most people.
"Aren't you a zombie? Are you human? I said to the thing behind me.
The thing shouted a few more times, but felt like something was covering his mouth, or something in his throat, and he couldn't speak. He let go of one of my hands, and I immediately wanted to struggle, but my other hand and knee joint were pressed, and as soon as I struggled hard, the joint would hurt, so I couldn't break free. This reminds me of the grappling skills that my instructor taught me during military training in college. But the strange thing is that the man did not grab me with his hands, but pressed me with his body, and what about his hands? This makes me feel cold? Is this a human or not?
The man's body moved, and I felt him want to push my movable hand over his head. I can move with one hand now, but I'm still the same as being completely subdued, meat on a chopping board, to be slaughtered. So I could only follow his wishes, and my hand groped behind me, and I felt his head, which was a human face, which was certain. But whether it is human or not, it is impossible to determine whether it is in this completely dark place.
When I touched his mouth, I noticed that his mouth was wrapped in a cloth. No wonder he was speechless. The man shouted a few more times, as if asking me to untie the cloth for him.
"Do you want me to untie your mouth for you?" I asked.
I say this to wonder if the person in the back will respond. Having a response proves that he is really a person. If he doesn't respond, he may not be human, he may just be a humanoid monster, or he may be a zombie with a higher IQ. High-IQ zombies, this used to be really ridiculous, even I laughed myself, but tonight I encountered too many unbelievable things, and many things had to be thought about with thinking beyond cognition. If he were a zombie, I wouldn't have untied the cloth for him, maybe he would have bitten at my major artery.
"If it is, you just nod!" I continued.
Then the man behind him nodded. At this time, I was overjoyed, it turned out that the thing behind me was really human.
I quickly reached out to untie the cloth. However, because only one hand can move, and the hand is reversed, the flexibility is greatly reduced, so it can't be unraveled.
"You let me go first. I know you're human, I'm not going to struggle anymore, I can untie the cloth from your mouth with my words. ”
The man let go, and I sat up. But the strange thing is that he is still lying on his stomach, if it is a normal person, doesn't he sit up or stand up? This strikes me as a little strange.
Since I couldn't see my fingers here, I could only grope for his head in the dark. He let out a few shouts in unison, and I followed the sound to find his direction, then untied the cloth around his mouth.
"Hurry up and untie the ropes from my hands and feet, there's no time." The man immediately said that it was the voice of a strange man.
I was just wondering why he was still lying on the ground after letting go of me, and it turned out that he was tied hand and foot. I thought to myself: this person can subdue me with his hands and feet tied, I'm really useless!
"Who the hell are you? Why are you pretending to be a zombie to scare me! I thought you were the zombie in the hall outside. I said as I untied his hands and feet.
"How can I pretend to be a zombie to scare you!" The man said.
"Then what are you jumping around for no reason!"
"I'm tied up like this, if I don't jump and walk, do I have to roll away? I want to catch up with you as quickly as possible, and then ask you to help me untie the rope, who knows that you will run faster and faster. ”
"This ......" I was speechless for a moment, because he had a point, but my heart was so confused that I didn't think of such a basic question. That's when I realized that he wasn't just tied hand and foot, but his whole body was tied with rope, and it was very tightly tied. The rope is thick, about the size of the hemp rope used to hang construction materials on the construction site. A person who has been tied up like this, actually catches up with me, and can still subdue me, what kind of person is this?
"Who are you? Where the hell is this? Why are you here? Why is it tied with a rope? What exactly are those zombies? How to get out of here? "There's a whole bunch of questions coming up because it's so weird here. I felt like this man must know something I didn't know.
"Don't talk nonsense, there's no time." The man said.
By this time I had untied all the ropes from him. Suddenly, a burst of green light emanated from the man's hand. Then I realized how blessed it was to see light in this completely dark place, the only light in the darkness, even if it was very dim.
I saw that the man was holding a glow stick that glowed green from nowhere, the glow stick was the size of an arm, ten or twenty centimeters long. Under the dim green light of the glowstick, the man's face could be vaguely seen, it was the face of a strange man in his twenties, his skin was slightly dark, his body was strong and vigorous, although he was not like the body of a fat treasure with a tiger's back, but his upper arms were also very strong. There was a fearless look in the man's eyes, and I couldn't feel the slightest fear of the place, which made me feel a sense of security. But strangely, this person gave me a sense of familiarity. I seem to have seen him somewhere.
"Do we know this friend?"
"I don't know!" The man stared straight at the darkness behind him, and didn't look back.
"But I think you look familiar?"
"Let's go, there's no time." The man said and stood up.
"What's the lack of time? Why do you keep saying this? ”
"Didn't you hear something pounding against the iron prison over there?"
That's when I remembered what happened to the monster in the iron prison just now, the monster had just gotten rid of the chains and was rushing into the iron prison to get out. Just now, because I thought this man was a zombie and thought that I was going to be killed by him, I had completely forgotten that there was another danger.
"It's not easy to mess with, and it's coming out soon." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud crash against the iron prison, followed by the sound of iron bars crashing into the ground. The dangerous thing slammed the iron door into the air.
"That's coming." The man said, "Let's go." ”
At this time, I also panicked, "What is coming?" Where are you going, where is the road? ”
Isn't the answer quite clear? There are monsters behind you, so you can only run forward. The man ran forward with all his might, and I followed with the last of my strength.
Then there was a sound of rapid running behind him, and it felt like a large monster was chasing after him, and the ground shook slightly.
"What's that monster in the back? Why chase us? I asked the man.
"You're talking a lot of nonsense." The man said, "Little friend, too much curiosity could kill you." ”
"What a little friend, I'm twenty-four years old this year, and you look like you're about the same age as me, so you actually call me a little friend, you're not shy! I just want to know, do you say it or don't say it! ”
"Let's talk about it when you have the life to go out!" The man lunged forward with a glow stick. He ran very fast, and after running for a while, I didn't see him gasping, and this person was in good health. Now he may not be running at full speed, he may just be waiting for me. If he really does this, in case I can't walk, I might be able to run away by myself with his skills. But on my back, I'm sure both of them will die. Then there's a good chance he'll leave me behind at the end and run away on his own. It's human nature. As the saying goes, people don't destroy heaven and earth for themselves, this sentence is a naked expression of human nature.
But then I thought that if he wasn't there, I would still die when I couldn't run. If he had carried me, I might have died one more person, but there was no need for that. By this time I was ready for him to abandon me in the end. Now I don't have any worries, I can run if I can, and I will die if I can't. The problem is relatively simple, but the reality is more complex.
Suddenly, my feet went limp, and I fell. Since I was rushing forward with all my might, I slid forward some distance due to inertia. I felt that the clothes on my body were worn out, and the flesh and skin were worn out. A piercing pain entered my body.
"What did you do?" The man then stopped, and he immediately came to help me, "If you fall now, you will be suicidal." ”
"I'm already exhausted." I said, "I can't run." Let's go! Leave me alone, the monster behind me is coming. ”
The man helped me to sit down, he frowned slightly, sighed, and then he lifted me up and onto his shoulder.
I didn't expect him to do this, and I was surprised and said, "If you take me, you won't be able to run away." It's not cost-effective for two people to die together. Your skills are extraordinary, and your physical strength is also very good, you should be able to escape alone, so hurry up! ”
"Boy, good observation!" The man carried me on my shoulder.
"Let me go!"
"I want to too! But my purpose is to come in and save you. There's no way I'm going back empty-handed. ”
I was surprised, "You said you were here to save me?" Then you still don't admit to knowing me? I think you're a little familiar. ”
"Boy, I really don't know you!"
"Then why did you say you came here to save me?"
"The police are going to save people, but you can't assume that the police must know that person!"
"You say you're a cop?" I said in surprise.
"I'm just using an analogy. I'm not a police officer, but I work a bit like a police officer. ”
I thought to myself: Could it be that Fat Bao and Ah Ming couldn't find me and called the police? So this man says he's not a police officer, so what is it exactly?
"So what do you do? Who told you to save me? ”
"Yes......" the man was about to say, but he stopped, and he stopped at the same time.
I couldn't see the road ahead because I was being carried on my shoulders and my head behind me by the man.
I heard the man say, "There is no road ahead!" ”
My heart was startled, and I only heard the footsteps of the giant beast on the other side of the road getting closer and closer.
