Chapter 8: The Infected...

The atmosphere was a little depressing, and I listened to her emotionless speech as if I was listening to a science fiction story, and the panic came to my mind again. It turned out that so many incredible things had happened during my coma, the world had changed, and I was pessimistic that this could really be the eve of the end of the world. What makes me even more condemned by my conscience is that the four monsters I subconsciously think are all living people, they are still sentient, flesh and blood, but they are crushed under the wheels by me as monsters.

How can I repent to pay for my sins? Is it as I thought last night, to incarnate sin and to make their souls eternal bliss? No, they will go to hell because they want to impose their pain on others, maybe I am doing the right thing, they are sinning, and I am obligated to stop it.

I defended myself, and relieved some of the condemnation of my conscience and the uneasiness of my heart.

She stopped talking and left my side, I was silent with my gun in my hand, maybe I didn't care much about the four people I killed, but I cared about whether my parents were okay in another city, they should be fine, they were both in the country, my father was a hunter, he was very skilled, he could protect my mother.

As I thought about it, I finally felt like I had lifted a thousand pounds of weight, and I felt a lot lighter.

The wailing in the door finally died down, and I stayed quietly, looking cautiously at the door, and realized that the woman was already standing in front of the door.

"Team Zhang"

Someone shouted, and the fifteen soldiers who were present except Lin Shaoquan focused their eyes on her.

I could feel the suppressed pain in the eyes of these warriors, a deep pain of powerlessness.

She unscrewed the handle of the door under the gaze of me and the soldiers, and I realized that the door had not been closed at all.

I subconsciously wanted to walk over to see what was going on inside the door, and I looked at her curiously, at the door that was open inward.

The dozen or so warriors all stood up silently, their expressions solemn and a trace of pain that could not be concealed.

The deputy Lin Shaoquan walked over, loaded the pistol in his hand, and a little struggle flashed in his eyes, but he still stood behind her vigilantly and raised the gun into the door.

"Does it hurt?"

She asked softly, like a breeze that can sweep away people's sorrows, without the coldness of the previous life.

"It doesn't hurt"

A hoarse voice came from the door, and I noticed that the eyes of the soldiers and soldiers who were standing silently in place with solemn expressions were a little red.

"But Team Zhang, it's uncomfortable for me to live like this."

I could hear the hoarse voice trembling, as if it was speaking in excruciating pain.

"Come out for a bite to eat?"

She said softly, with encouragement in her voice.

"No, I can't live anymore, so I won't waste supplies."

The hoarse voice seemed to be pleading, and under her gaze, she whimpered, "I don't want them to see me like this." ”

"No, no one will laugh at you, we are comrades-in-arms, brothers who can be entrusted with our backs, we all believe in you, and you have to believe in us."

Lin Shaoquan behind her said in a hoarse voice, and the gun raised in his hand finally trembled and put down under the signal of her eyes.

"Me"

The hoarse voice fell silent, and under the gaze of me and those red-eyed warriors, she and Lin Shaoquan slowly retreated, and he finally walked out slowly.

"Yongzi !!"

Some people cried out with emotion, they were all iron-clad soldiers, but at this moment, they were crying like children, which made me feel inexplicably uncomfortable, I knew why they cried so sadly, because of the person who came out.

He was also a soldier in combat uniform, but his appearance looked trembling, the skin on his face was ulcerated and pus, and one ear did not know where to go, as if it had been scratched by himself, and it was dripping with blood. His neck, his festering face, forehead, arms, all scratches, and dark red blood stains on his combat uniform.

One of the boots under his feet didn't know where to go, and the socks had kicked off, revealing a bloody foot, and the combat uniform on his body was also a little tattered, as if it had been bitten by a wild dog, and some parts of his thighs had exposed flesh.

They were holding the gun, they were very emotional, he stood there, he didn't know where to put his hand, his expression was a little dodgy, looking at his comrades who were crying sadly, he was a little overwhelmed: "Brothers and sisters, I'm fine, I'm fine, it's not very painful at this time"

"Cry, cry, cry, cry, you are all men, you are soldiers, you are disgraced to the soldiers!"

That Lin Shaoquan choked up and shouted: "Yongzi has come out, you still don't go to get food, stand and think about spring!" ”

They finally reacted and scrambled to get food, and I glanced at it, it was my three hiking bags full of water and food.

"There's bandages there, and some anti-inflammatories."

He should have been infected by those so-called pathogens, I can't bear it, this is a young warrior of my age, why would God be so cruel to him. I wanted to do something, so I thought I had some anti-inflammatory drugs and bandages in my hiking bag.

Hearing my words, the warriors gave me a grateful look, then rummaged through their hiking bags to find the medicines.

I glanced at her, and she looked at me, with a cold expression, as if to say, these things I mentioned are useless.

She raised her left hand, looked down at her watch, and said in a deep voice, "It's eleven o'clock, and there's still an hour." ”

I don't know why she mentioned this, but the active soldiers fell silent. Only the soldier named Yuko, who was infected by the pathogen, was silently stuffing food into his mouth, and it seemed that he was starving.

"Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, when the ultraviolet rays are at their strongest, is our best chance, we have to get out of here at this time, those things have to be given out."

She glanced at the warriors in silence, her tone unmistakable.

"Yes!"

They replied in a deep voice.

Then the atmosphere was dull again, and finally, someone glanced at the silent Yongzi, plucked up the courage to ask her, "Team Zhang, what about Yongzi, we have to take him back!" ”

She looked at the warrior who had spoken, then at Yuko, looking at him with a calm look in her eyes.

He was a little nervous under her gaze, and his voice seemed to be a little hoarse, and it was difficult to hear what he was saying: "I don't know Zhang Zhang. ”

Later I learned that after being infected, his vocal cords gradually degenerate, and maybe he can still speak because he is still in the early stages of infection.

She nodded, "You come with us, too." As she spoke, she looked at me as well. I nodded, too, her 'you' should have included me.

She looked at a soldier who was carrying what appeared to be a communication device: "Haven't you responded yet?" ”

"No, the cell towers in this area have no signal and cannot receive information, and the satellite signal shows no signs of recovery."

She nodded.

Time passed bit by bit, and the seven soldiers and soldiers, including Lin Shaoquan, were all carrying a tightly bound large package, which looked heavy, and it was estimated to weigh at least thirty kilograms, which should be the 'those things' in her mouth.

At twelve o'clock, they were all ready, and I moved my body, although there were many bruises on my body, but it did not affect my movement, and there were no other major problems.

I loaded the pistol, did not open the insurance, and played with it excitedly, I am not very strange to it, because I had been in contact with it in college, during military training, I had a good performance in live-fire training, and even because of this, a major came to me to identify myself and asked me to join the army, but I refused, at that time I was arrogant, the so-called good iron does not nail, good men are not soldiers, how could I give up my studies and become a suffering soldier?

As for why I have such good results in shooting, heh, it is thanks to my old father, who was a hunter, and he was tempered by him when I was a child.

I remembered some things when I was a child, but I couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to my hunter-turned-father, who honed my hunting skills back then, but I didn't think that he would save my life countless times in the years that followed.

She pulled back the curtain covering the window, glanced outside, and then nodded at us, and the warriors quickly moved away from the heavy objects such as the tables and wood that had been piled up in the hallway to ward off the pathogens, and then we walked cautiously at the signal of a warrior.

The sun was unbearable, and the corners of my forehead and cheeks were sweaty, but luckily the water in my three hiking bags was enough for us to drink for a while.

There was silence outside, and I glanced back at the warrior named Yuko, the muscles of his face were pumping, the scorching sun was shining on his body, and the hot sweat was rolling down and biting at his pus-draining wounds, and he could stand it. This is a real man!

Later, I learned that the scorching sun was the catalyst for this corpse virus.

Our journey was smooth and unhindered, but it was impossible to pass through a huge city without the means of transportation, not to mention the countless pathogens in the city who were like mad dogs that hated people.

So, the first thing we did when we came out was to look for a means of transportation.

Their military qualities make me feel very relieved, and they move like rabbits, and they are resolute, and they are talking about them. I could barely keep up with them, but it was a bit of a struggle.

She calmly gave an order, two soldiers were responsible for reconnoitring the situation ahead, three soldiers on the left and right wings vigilantly escorted a few of us forward with guns, two fighters, plus the infected Yongzi after the break, she was in the middle, and five soldiers with packages on their backs, including Lin Shaoquan, the deputy team, plus me, a total of eighteen people.
