Chapter 44: Nightmare
If that sister of mine were still alive, I would have tried my best to protect her like that boy, right? Definitely.
"Brother!!"
The frightened screams of the little girl rang in my ears again, and my heart trembled and I struggled out of my memory.
I stopped, unloaded my backpack, and handed it to Huang Ying: "I'm sorry, I can't go with you." ”
After saying that, I took the long knife and turned around and ran towards the stone bridge. There was no hesitation, only one thought, and hopefully it was still too late.
My presence attracted the attention of the ghouls on the side of the guardrail. There were eleven of them, and before I could arrive, I saw two ghouls burrow down the guardrail.
Ha!
One of the nearest ghouls pounced on me, and I clenched my long knife in both hands, and with a loud roar, the blade slashed at its neck, and boom! The shock of the metal-like collision sent my hands numb, but the ghoul's head had been cut off.
The second ghoul also pounced with its teeth and claws, and then the third also pounced, and I hurriedly swung my knife, barely blocking the two of them, but the ghouls behind them all rushed towards me, like mad dogs competing for food, so hideous.
"Die or die!"
I couldn't resist it anymore, and finally gritted my teeth, shouted, threw the long knife out, plunged it into the stomach of a ghoul, and then pulled out two guns from my waist and shot them with impunity, I didn't care if it would alarm the nearby ghouls.
Bang bang bang!
Shots rang out, and the seven ghouls staggered to the ground. I hurriedly put away my gun, pulled the long knife from the still struggling ghoul belly, swept it over with a swing, and walked over to the guardrail, looking down.
"Brother, someone has come to save us."
A little girl who was only about five years old pointed at me excitedly, she was wearing a pink cotton jacket, her shoulders were a little broken, and her sunken cheeks were iron-blue, which was a sign of a serious lack of nutrition, she should have not eaten for a long time, and those eyes, which were still dazed and frightened, looked at me with their heads poked out, as if relieved, and sat down on the riverbed, but still smiled at me weakly, as if to thank me.
Her brother was wrestling with two zombies, and the boy was struggling to swing a steel spear at the ghouls who pounced on him.
Bang!
Instead of saving bullets from the gun, I helped the boy outrun the other ghoul, and he stabbed the tip of the steel gun into the mouth of the other male ghoul, the sharp tip of the spear coming out of the back of its head.
"Come on! There will be more ghouls later. ”
I shouted to the boy who was holding the steel gun and hunched over and gasping for breath.
Hearing my words, he didn't delay at all, obviously holding up the girl and throwing it on the guardrail, I was a little worried about whether he could throw the girl up, and whether I could catch it, but my worries were superfluous, the girl threw it up, I caught it, I thought it would take a lot of strength to catch it, who knows, this girl's body is extremely light, so light that I can't help but be surprised, this little girl's weight is not even thirty pounds!
Touching her thin and rugged limbs, I couldn't help but feel a sour nose, how much did she have to suffer to be so thin?
"Hurry up!"
The boy threw the gun up, and then climbed up with great difficulty, and before he could catch his breath, I urged him to run quickly. Because there are already many ghouls pouring out from the other side of the stone bridge, rushing towards this side.
As for why it's not angry? Because his brother is not qualified to do something, he actually made his sister hungry like this, if it weren't for the lack of time, I really want to scold him.
"Thank you."
He followed me with a steel gun, panting, and thanked me as he ran.
I glanced back at him, and the boy was probably eighteen or nineteen years old, and despite the mud on his face, it didn't hide his sunny handsome appearance. A thick black hair swayed backwards with the wind, although the cheeks were thin and sunken, they were still a little angular, the bridge of the nose was high, the face was pale, he was wearing a brown cotton jacket, the light blue jeans had a few holes worn and stained with black dirt, a pair of white sneakers could no longer see the color, the toe of his left foot was also opened, and the slender arm was as thin as firewood, just like his sister, I am afraid that he had suffered a lot of crimes.
Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of stray footsteps approaching us, and I knew that it was a nearby ghoul who was chasing us, and I could tell from the footsteps that there were a huge number of ghouls behind us.
We ran as hard as we could, and suddenly there were a lot of ghouls in front of us, at least a few dozen!
That's it.
I thought pessimistically that I had two more bullets in my three guns, and it seemed that I was destined to feed the ghouls today. But I'm a little unwilling.
Bang!
Suddenly, a roar came from behind us, and I subconsciously looked back, and a white Land Rover drove in front of us like a mad beast, frantically crashing into dozens of ghouls.
When the car door opened, it was Huang Ying, and it was Xu Weiguo sitting in the driver's seat.
"Brother Zhou, get in the car!"
Huang Ying waved to us, and I hurried up, handed the girl to her, and then beckoned the boy to get into the car.
His hand twisted on the steel gun a few times, and the steel gun was about one meter six long into three, seeing if I was envious, and then looked at the homemade long knife in his hand, and he had to open the window to accommodate it.
I got into the car and sat down, I opened the windows on both sides of the car a little, and there was a long knife horizontally, and the boy sat next to me and thanked us incessantly. I gladly accepted it, after all, I risked my life to save their brother and sister, and I was the life-saving benefactor of their brother and sister, which was a kindness that he could not repay no matter how grateful he was. Of course, I don't have the idea of repaying the favor.
The Land Rover roared to the ground.
That Xu Weiguo is really skilled, just like a professional racing driver, the narrow alley can even drive the car like flying, I can finally experience the flying car scene in the movie lens, it is really all the internal organs are almost displaced, but fortunately, I got rid of those ghouls.
On the way to my life, I learned the names of the two siblings, the little girl is called Lin Huimei, a very delicate name, and the boy is called Lin Haiming, they lost the news of their parents after the disaster, and only the two siblings depend on each other for their lives, until today they almost fed the ghouls.
"She's hurt?"
Just when we thought the episode was about to end, Huang Ying looked back at me in shock.
I shook my head, indicating that I hadn't noticed, and turned my gaze to her brother Lin Haiming, who had just eaten something, and his face had recovered a little, and when he heard Huang Ying's words, his expression stiffened.
I suddenly seemed to have guessed something, but I didn't dare to say it, because I still thought to myself, maybe I had guessed wrong, and forced myself to stop this random speculation.
"Let me see."
Xu Weiguo's hoarse voice sounded, and it suddenly made me feel bad for a while.
He held the steering wheel with one hand, and Huang Ying hugged the girl and exposed her wound for Xu Weiguo to see.
"She was scratched."
Xu Weiguo glanced at the girl's wound, and then glanced lightly at Lin Haiming, the boy behind him whose face was already pale, and in one sentence, the girl was sentenced to death in an instant.
My heart thumped, and there was an inexplicable throbbing pain, and sure enough, my guess was not wrong, because, if it was a simple injury, Huang Ying's tone would not have been so shocked, and the boy would not have been distracted. However, facts are facts after all, and no matter how much they cover up, they will eventually reveal their clues. But why would that damn thief do such a thing to a little girl who is less than six years old? The heart is too ruthless, right?!
I looked at the boy Lin Haiming with sympathy, at this moment he was like a deep nightmare, trembling all over, the corners of his forehead, and the green tendons around his neck squirmed like earthworms, as if they were about to get out of his skin. This is a nightmare that he can't accept, no, it should be said, it was we who pulled him out of the illusory dream, he should have known the consequences of his sister being scratched, so he didn't dare to think about it, he didn't dare to accept it, he couldn't accept it, so he had to hide the truth and hypnotize himself with lies, but he was cruelly awakened by us.
Hiss brake---!
Xu Weiguo stepped on the brakes, turned his head, and looked at the boy indifferently, with a cold look in his eyes: "Get out of the car and take your sister with you." ”
