Chapter 18: Acid Rain
"You're crazy!"
I don't know how long my brain has been blank and it's still buzzing.
"What are you going to do?"
When I was about to organize a verbal accusation of her crime, I found that her gun was aimed at my head, what was she going to do? Kill people?
Her expression was very stiff, the green tendons on her neck and hands struggled and wriggled like earthworms, the hand holding the gun was trembling, and two lines of tears suddenly welled up in a pair of murderous eyes. But she still looked at me with a blank face, letting the tears slide down her cheeks, and the clear tear stains made me fall into the void again.
"You said you've been scratched by those things, why aren't you infected? And they are infected? ”
She looked at me coldly, and her tone was so cold that I shivered unnaturally, and I finally figured out why the two fighters in the back suddenly became like that, it turned out that they were infected.
"How do I know?!"
I began to say nothing, my heart was pounding, and when I saw her put her index finger on the trigger, I finally panicked, she would shoot, she would even dare to shoot her own comrades in her own robes, let alone me? Is there anything she wouldn't dare to do now?
"I know, I know, don't shoot!"
I struggled to control the trembling hands to get behind the wheel, and in the case of death, my mind finally opened: "These teratobabies must have eaten those infected pathogens, so these two scratched brothers were infected, and the teratobabies I encountered at that time had not yet reached maturity, and it is estimated that they had not been in contact with pathogens, so I was not infected." ”
I didn't know if she would believe what I said, I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat, I looked at her nervously, and saw that she was putting the gun back, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still nervous, afraid that she would suddenly go crazy, and pointed the gun at my head and pulled the trigger.
Her hand as she put down the gun was still shaking silently, but my brain slammed into her muzzle as if it had suddenly cramped: "Why did you shoot them?" Do you know what you're doing? You killed your comrades, your brothers, how can you be so ruthless!? ”
I thought of the two soldiers she had shot and killed, filled with indignation for no apparent reason, and their mouths were like floodgates, and they were pouring down on her, completely forgetting that I was talking to death about morality and conscience. As soon as the words fell, I woke up, and when I reacted, I couldn't help but shiver, only to feel my neck cold, and subconsciously looked at her secretly.
Her hands were still shaking, but she looked blankly ahead. It's just that the clear tears on my face make my heart tug hard for no reason.
She spoke, her voice a little hoarse: "I'm saving you, and I'm also helping them get free, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, they are alive, they will only be more painful." ”
Or maybe she's defending herself, and she needs an excuse to make her feel better. I don't know if it's what she says, but it doesn't look like she's lying, but I can't believe it. It wasn't until later that I realized that what she said was true, that she hadn't lied to me, and that if the infected warrior had scratched me, I would have become a sinister pathogen without reason, and she did save me, but I didn't appreciate it.
There was a smell of blood in the car, justice was the dead, and conscience was rotten. I can't blame anyone, I thought, if you push me into a corner, will I do something even more outrageous? In order to survive, I may abandon my moral conscience, abandon my gods and Buddhas, abandon all beliefs, and only live for myself. I didn't dare to think about it anymore, it scared me, scared.
I don't know where I drove the car, it was muddy, it was like sleepwalking, it was like losing all sense, it was like a blank space, it was like a dead person, back to the ignorance I had when I was born, I began to like that feeling, I didn't have to think about anything, I didn't have joys and sorrows, it was a kind of morbid numbness.
When it was dawn, she seemed to have slept for a while, and there was no tiredness on her face. It's just that those clear eyes, but a trace of dazedness flashes from time to time, she is confused?
Why?
I do not know.
The car ran out of gas, and there was a gas station not far in front of me, so I drove to the gas station, and before getting out of the car, I needed to consult with her about what to do with the bodies of the two fighters in the car. Yes, their bodies are already stiff, they are infected, I am afraid that their bodies will rot in the car, I am afraid that I will be infected. At this time, I realized how ridiculous it was for me to accuse her in a high-sounding manner last night, and I couldn't do it myself, so why should I blame others in a blatant manner? I began to resent what I had done.
"What are they going to do?"
I glanced at the two dead fighters in the back seat, their skin was blue and they had a bloody hole in their foreheads, but they were no longer bleeding. I didn't show any emotion, but the trembling voice betrayed me, I wasn't afraid, just out of respect for life. I justified myself with a high sound, and at the same time hated my hypocrisy.
"Get out of the car."
She said coldly, opening the car door, and the cold attitude made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was the one who shot and killed someone. Yes, I still have a great grudge against her for shooting and killing two fighters, out of a ridiculous, even pathetic pity.
After a night of being smoked by the disgusting smell of the car, I had begun to crave the fresh air outside the car window, opened the door, and as soon as I got out of the car, I couldn't wait to take a deep breath, only to be choked and coughed. The sour smell in the air was unbearable for me, worse than the smell in the car.
That's when I noticed that the cars on the road were rusty, as if they had been sleeping here for years and had not been maintained.
"Team Zhang!"
Lin Shaoquan and the others got out of the car one after another, and sniffed, obviously noticing the sour smell in the air.
She opened the door of the back seat with an expressionless face, Lin Shaoquan and they immediately noticed the situation in the car, he rushed towards me, grabbed my collar with one hand and pulled it fiercely, and glared at me viciously: "What's going on?!" ”
I could feel the anger in his tone, he should have noticed something, but she was their immediate boss, and they had to take their anger out on me, and seek the beginning and end of the matter from me.
I desperately want to stare back, but I'm cowardly, people are under the roof, what confidence do I have to turn against them?
"They're infected."
I said, but my tone seemed a little resentful, I don't know if it was resentment towards Lin Shaoquan or resentment towards her. I glanced at her secretly, she was still expressionless, as if she was out of the way, but she pushed me into the clutches of Lin Shaoquan, the wicked man.
Lin Shaoquan let go of my collar, he should have guessed what happened from my words, his expression looked the same as hers, cold, and he didn't show any emotion, I knew that they just hid the anger and sadness in their hearts under the cold appearance, they had feelings, but the way they expressed it was not as exaggerated as ordinary people.
"I fired the gun."
She spoke, not justifying anything, as I thought, but saying, "I'm dead, I'll apologize to them personally." ”
My heart couldn't stop trembling violently, what did she mean by that? Could it be that she is going to seek death? I thought about it, it seemed like a sudden enlightenment, maybe she thought that it would be difficult for us people to have a chance to go back alive, right? I remembered what she once said: death is their destiny, the destiny of soldiers.
There will always be a day when they die on the battlefield. Perhaps, it is a kind of luck to be alive now.
I began to feel sad and unbearable for them, their fate seemed to be predestined, no wonder they were so numb to the death of their comrades, perhaps, they were used to it, right?
I clenched my fists, then let go weakly.
Several of them carried the corpse out and placed it side by side next to the gas station oil storage tank, and then the group stood in front of the corpse, saluted solemnly and solemnly, and shouted in unison: "Brothers, let's go!" ”
There was a unique voice in her loud voice, and I looked at her, and she looked at the two corpses, and maybe she wondered how she would end up.
I suddenly felt a little sorry for her for no reason. Maybe it's because she's a woman, so she feels pity.
Thundered!
God is like a clown who changes his face in a play, changing from cloudless to cloudy in an instant. A deafening thunder exploded, as if it were a wail for two dead warriors.
Hey, it's so good, even God cried for them. I began to feel a little envious, if I could have this kind of treatment on the day I died, I am afraid that I should be blind.
I suddenly became inexplicably emotional, and began to hate this pessimistic emotion, I don't want to die, no matter how good the way to die, I don't want to die.
Whoa!
The rain poured down, and the rain covered the whole world, but the sour smell seemed to be stronger, as if soaked in sulfur. I woke up from my emotions and realized that this rain was not a good thing, so I stretched out my hand, dipped some rain, tasted it with my tongue, and immediately spit it out, it was acid rain!
Fortunately, the location of this gas station is quite large, and I parked my car in the parking lot before, otherwise this was soaked in acid rain, and the car I worked so hard to get must not be wasted?
I was shaking my head and glad I turned around to find that there was a small supermarket in the gas station, hey! That's exciting!
"There's a supermarket here!"
I greeted them excitedly, and rushed to the small supermarket, the open glass door was close at hand, I felt more and more excited, I could finally improve the food, I thought so, suddenly a figure came out of it, revealing a terrible white face and pounced on me!
"Ho-!"
It was wearing the work clothes of a supermarket employee, covered with dark black liquid stains, which looked extremely dirty, and its scattered yellow hair fluttered back, revealing its white eyeballs, and a little black pupil in the middle of the eyeballs contracted excitedly, it opened its mouth, and I even smelled the disgusting stench coming from its mouth, it opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp and staggered teeth like canines, I panicked and pulled out the gun pinned to my waist, dialed the safety, aimed it at its head, and pulled the trigger!
