Chapter 14: Departure
The morning sun is rising, the soft sunlight makes the surface of the city gild with a layer of beautiful golden light, such a beautiful scenery, it should be a new day representing hope, but for the living people on this land, the only thing to be thankful for is that they did not die yesterday, so they can still see the sun today, as for tomorrow...... And how many people have tomorrow.
In the room, Chen Xiao, who had been keeping vigil from early morning to dawn, climbed onto the roof and moved his muscles when it was bright.
After glancing at the banyan tree in the distance, which seemed to be a big circle, he returned to the room and began to pack his things.
Liang Wanting, who was woken up, saw two half-person-high hiking bags as soon as she left the room, and they were already stuffed with various things, most of which were food and some medicines.
"What is this for?" Liang Wanting asked.
"We must leave immediately, this place is no longer fit to stay, or this moment of comfort will consume us in the near future. The evolution of zombies is accelerating, and I've seen many zombies start to mutate in new ways, and once we're surrounded by mutated zombies, it's a dead end, and last night's vigil, I heard the sound of rats, right downstairs from us. I just went to check on the zombie corpses that had been piled up in the hallways and stairs, and a large part of them were missing. ”
Chen Xiao quickly recounted all the discoveries from last night to the present, originally he wanted to be fully prepared and set off tomorrow, but last night he clearly heard the sound of rats coming from downstairs, coupled with a large number of zombie corpses that disappeared overnight, which were all bad signs.
In every bustling city, with the density of the population, there will definitely be two kinds of creatures overflowing, one is the cockroach and the other is the rat, in the bustling urban environment where there is never a shortage of food, the number of these two species is absolutely amazing.
What the mutated rat would look like, Chen Xiao had never seen it, and he didn't want to imagine it, but it was definitely not a good type, there was no doubt about it.
"We have to go, this is no longer our safe house, maybe tomorrow, it will be the coffin where we are buried." Chen Xiao continued.
"Wait a minute." Liang Wanting nodded and immediately returned to the room.
"Ten minutes later, let's go, I'll check the surroundings first." After Chen Xiao shouted to the room, he carried one of the mountaineering bags on his back and walked out with an iron sword.
Walking around the roof, looking at the surrounding streets, I was planning the most reasonable route to leave at the same time, which was a kilometer away from the street of the air defense regiment camp, but if you jumped over the houses, you could shorten the distance by a third, and you could also avoid the zombies roaming the streets.
Soon, a path from the roof came to his mind, and along the way, he had to jump over many houses, and finally he had to go down and cross two streets that were ** meters wide, and then he could jump directly into the walls of the barracks.
Now, he only hopes that Liang Wanting can also jump the distance of up to seven meters, otherwise, he can only think of other ways.
"I'm ready."
Just as he was thinking, Liang Wanting walked over, and when he turned around, he saw her wrapped herself tightly, carrying a suitcase in her hand.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Xiao asked helplessly, "And the bronze sword I gave you?" ”
"In the box, with my clothes." Liang Wanting replied.
"Please, now is not the time to travel, put down your suitcase, carry the hiking bag in the living room, hold the weapon, and always be ready to fight." Chen Xiao was a little angry, and said very sternly: "Now, you should let go of cowardice and innocence, and when you encounter monsters, you must not hesitate to cut the weapons in your hands." Do you understand? ”
"I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Liang Wanting also immediately realized her mistake, opened the suitcase on the spot, took out the bronze sword, and then returned to the house to carry the hiking bag and return to Chen Xiao's side.
"It doesn't matter if you hate me now, because you'll be grateful to me in the future." As he spoke, Chen Xiao lifted the suitcase, because he saw that there were still his clothes inside.
"Didn't you mean ......" Liang Wanting was stunned for a moment when she saw him lift the suitcase, and then asked.
"It's lightweight, and the box looks sturdy enough to be used as a shield if necessary." After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the apartment he had cleaned up yesterday, and Liang Wanting followed closely.
"Jump over."
The simple three words made Liang Wanting startled, she shook her head and said, "I'm not you, how can I jump over." ”
"Then try it right away, I'm sure you can do it." Chen Xiao walked away from Liang Wanting as she spoke, and after the two were almost seven meters apart, she spoke: "Jump here, don't put down your backpack and weapons." ”
Liang Wanting took a deep breath and nodded, glanced at the dense zombies downstairs, she also understood Chen Xiao's plan, and jumped towards the other party.
The result was very smooth and stood beside Chen Xiao, "I said, you can, now you should slowly discover your current potential, and then work hard to improve." ”
Liang Wanting waved the bronze sword in her hand, and something called confidence and courage slowly appeared on her face.
Chen Xiao jumped to the apartment next door, Liang Wanting followed without hesitation, and then the two of them kept running and moving on top of the houses, running and moving like parkour, keeping up with Chen Xiao's pace, how he did it, Liang Wanting also learned well.
However, the two soon encountered difficulties in their journey, jumping dozens of times on the house, and the barracks of the air defense regiment in the distance were already vividly visible, but between two points, there were two streets ten meters wide.
At a distance of ten meters, Chen Xiao was very confident to jump over, but Liang Wanting had no choice.
"Follow me." After saying a word, Chen Xiao knocked on the top iron door of the apartment at his feet, only a four-story apartment, and the two quickly walked to the second floor, and there were no zombies along the way, only blood stains all over the ground, exuding a strong stench.
"Here you go, it might feel a little better and safer." Liang Wanting took out two masks, one for herself and one for Chen Xiao.
After taking the mask and putting it on, the two walked to the first floor, and the entire first floor was already occupied by zombies, and these zombies seemed to be rushing towards a suite on the first floor.
"Follow me, the zombie is in the head, preferably with a thorn. If you feel nauseous and want to vomit, you must endure it and wait until you are done to vomit. ”
After a quick explanation, Chen Xiao took the iron sword and slashed at the zombies who had been attracted, and with a very simple knife, he cut the head of the nearest zombie in half.
Then stepped on the corpse of the zombie and killed the second zombie, he had already stood in the corridor on the first floor, and the zombies on both sides had already surrounded him, but their speed was not faster than the speed of Chen Xiao's sword, and all the zombies that were close to him within one meter all fell one by one.
However, there are still a lot of zombies gathered on the first floor, and he still has to take care of Liang Wanting behind him, and he can't play freely.
A large number of zombies on both sides of the corridor surrounded him, and Chen Xiao's pressure began to increase, and just as he was about to retreat to the second floor while fighting, a bronze sword body passed through his arm from behind him and pierced deeply into the head of a zombie nearby.
With a trembling arm pulling out the bronze sword, Chen Xiao could feel the sound of violent panting and a thumping heartbeat coming from behind him.
The corners of his mouth curled, and he gave up the idea of retreating, and the right hand holding the sword swung even faster.
Just when Chen Xiao began to kill, there was a violent shaking under his feet, and a huge body appeared at the end of the corridor on the first floor, the fat body almost occupied the entire corridor, covered in blood, and the two scarlet eyes on his face seemed to be hanging on it.
"Level 11 mutant zombies, strengthened defenses, vital heads."
Eleventh level mutant zombies, Chen Xiao didn't dare to be careless, and immediately reminded Liang Wanting behind her: "Be careful, it's a mutant zombie." ”
The mutated zombies in the distance have rushed over like tanks at this moment, pushing the zombies in the way to the ground, and then ruthlessly stepping on them, some of the zombies who have been stepped on the head are like watermelons that have been broken whole, and the blood is red all over the ground.
Chen Xiao did not retreat, but stabilized his pace, then put down the suitcase in his hand, pulled out the scabbard on his waist, and quickly killed the zombies around him, and then looked at the mutated zombies rushing over like this.
