Disaster strikes.

Those who have the ability to stand up are heroes, and those who are not capable stand up are heroes.

The former will be loved and praised by tens of thousands of people, and even become a heroic epic that will be passed down through the ages.

The latter will die a tragic death, and even become a laughing stock and a negative teaching material for a while.

Shirakawa doesn't want to be a hero, he just does what he can, everything is just to make his heart feel better. He didn't know what his future would become, and he didn't know if the child in his arms would survive healthily. But he knew that he couldn't let go of the child.

The chewing and crying that plagued him day and night, and he didn't want it to happen to this child.

He walked cautiously on the deserted street, the child slept soundly, but he didn't know if the child would wake up suddenly, there was a kind of holding timed explosion. The feeling of springing. The child's loud cry can definitely attract the vast majority of zombies around.

Suddenly, he stopped in the middle of the street and looked at the neighborhood not far away.

It was Beverly Garden, a relatively upscale residential area. In the past, when he passed by Beverly Garden, he would still fantasize that he would buy a house in Beverly Garden, and then marry and have children with the object of his affection, and live happily together.

Looking at Beverly Gardens now, it feels no different from an ordinary building, only because something happened in that building that he cares about, so he stops.

Bai He glanced down at the child in his arms, trying to ignore what he had heard and walked away, but before he could take a few steps, he stopped again and looked at the Beverly Garden again.

Finally, he sighed deeply and walked towards the Beverly Garden, praying in his heart that the child would not wake up so early.

He walked faster and faster around the building where the zombies were hidden, and after leaving the hearing range of all the zombies, he turned from sprinting to running.

On the 7th floor of Building 3 of Beverly Garden, Zhou Xue was lying on the sofa by the window, a wound was cut in the artery of her right hand, and blood was slowly flowing out. She looked at the blue sky with a faint smile on her face, and she could finally ...... Relieved.

What's the point of being alive?

Because of the fear of death, so live.

Because I don't want my relatives to be sad, I work hard to live.

Because I don't want to be seen dead, I live.

People are very complicated, and the meaning of life is also very complicated, Zhou Xue is afraid of death, doesn't want her relatives to be sad, and doesn't want others to see her die.

But now, everything doesn't matter anymore.

After killing her parents who had become zombies, Zhou Xue was immersed in pain day and night, without any goal and without any hope of living.

She is a volleyball player, she is physically fit, and she is more agile and powerful than the average person, with the right weapon in hand, and her lethality is even greater than that of the average man.

But the strength of her body does not make her mind equally strong, and she has experienced countless dangers and struggled to survive until now, she is on the verge of collapse.

The pain of killing her parents with her own hands, the guilt of helpless killing people when fighting for food, the countless days and nights of insecurity, she was about to go crazy after being tortured, and she was about to lose her breath from oppression.

So she chose to end herself and gain liberation.

She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of blood ticking to the ground, with a serene expression on her face, waiting for death to come.

Let it all be over......

…………

Boom!

Bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

It looks like someone is kicking the door, probably because of the auditory hallucinations before death.

Zhou Xue's consciousness was a little drowsy, her thinking began to become sluggish, and she felt a little cold in her body.

"Come on, don't give up!"

"Come on, don't give up on yourself, come on ......"

At this time, there was a shout outside the door, and Zhou Xue was a little more conscious, understanding that it was probably not a hallucination, but how could anyone know that he had committed suicide by cutting his wrists here?

It was a man's voice, somewhat hoarse, tired, still panting, but firm and stubborn, accompanied by the sound of kicking the door.

Suddenly, a child's cry sounded, like a holy light driving away the darkness and dispelling the cold sun, Zhou Xue opened her eyes suddenly, and tears gradually flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Boom!!!

The door was kicked open.

A man covered in blood hugged a crying child, gasping for breath, and walked in step by step from outside the door.

The image of this man is obviously so hideous and terrifying, but in Zhou Xue's eyes, it is so heartwarming.

"Don't... Call... Give up on yourself. Bai He looked at Zhou Xue and said with a pant.

Zhou Xue looked at Bai He with tears in her eyes and said, "The medicine box, under the TV cabinet." ”

"What!?"

Shirakawa was so tired that he almost fell on his stomach. He ran up to the seventh floor with a child in his arms, and then kicked the door open desperately, and now his lungs are still in severe pain, because the oxygen supply is insufficient, and the ears with special abilities are constantly roaring, so he didn't hear what Zhou Xue said clearly for a while.

"I said, the medicine box is under the TV cabinet." Zhou Xue wiped her tears with her left hand and repeated.

Bai He heard it clearly this time, and hurriedly walked to the TV cabinet to find the medicine box and give it to Zhou Xue.

"Who are you, and why did you know I was here...... Suicide by slitting your wrists? Zhou Xue lowered her head and took out cotton and bandages, stopped the bleeding very professionally, and asked at the same time.

Shirakawa sat on the couch and coaxed the still crying child as he replied, "I have a tailwind ear, so... Heard it. ”

"Let me do it!" Zhou Xue bandaged the wound, and when she saw that the child was still crying, she stretched out her hand directly.

Bai He hurriedly handed over the child to Zhou Xue, he knew that Zhou Xue would not hurt the child, this was a girl who was strong on the outside and gentle on the inside. Even if he trembles, he can always be strong enough to scare off all kinds of malicious survivors. Every night, I would curl up in the quilt and cry silently, but the next day I could pick myself up and continue to work hard for survival.

The people in the town are familiar strangers to Shirakawa.

Zhou Xue quickly asked the child to stop crying, and she looked down at the sucking . Yun pointed at the child and said, "Thank you, now I suddenly feel ...... It's good to be alive. ”

This sentence, Bai He didn't know if she was saying it to him or to the child, so she didn't speak. He sat on the sofa, looking at Zhou Xue and the child in her arms, and the whole person relaxed.

In less than an hour, he killed three people and saved two.

Although his body was very tired, his mind was much lighter, and he fell asleep after just a little relaxation.

"You and ......"

Zhou Xuegang wanted to ask Bai He what the relationship was with this child, but when she looked up and found that Bai He was asleep, she was slightly stunned, and then gently lowered her head and continued to coax the child.

Life is such an amazing thing.

Not so long ago, she felt like she was in hell and the whole world was spitting on her. But when she looked at the child's pure eyes, all the negative thoughts that had accumulated in her heart were purified, and the whole person was like a new life.

"Baby, this is the seventh floor, right, your dad is a stupid person, right?" She smiled and said to the child.

In this era of food scarcity, crisis, and self-endangerment, there are still people who work so hard to such an extent regardless of physical exertion for an irrelevant person.

If those selfish scumbags knew, I'm afraid they would take him for a fool and an idiot.

But in Zhou Xue's heart, Bai He exudes the brilliance of humanity all over his body, this is a man who has not yet been swallowed up by the darkness of the end times.

A few minutes later, the child fell asleep again, and Zhou Xue was weak and tired because of excessive blood loss, so she fell asleep on the edge of the sofa with the child in her arms.

For a moment, it was quiet.

It's a quiet world, but it's a lively world for Shirakawa.

Even in his sleep, he was able to hear a variety of sounds, making it difficult for him to fall into a deep sleep.

But it was precisely because he was just sleeping lightly that he heard Zhou Xue's words.

Am I really stupid?

Sure enough, it's easier to be a fool than a smart person......

A thought flashed through his mind, and he continued to sleep.

The three of them slept until the evening, and after waking up, Bai He and Zhou Xue discussed it and decided to rush back to Bai He's home. Because the child has not eaten for almost a day, and Zhou Xue has no food suitable for the child at home, it is all instant canned food and instant noodles, so he can only go back to Baihe's house.

Under Zhou Xue's command, Bai He packed all the things that Zhou Xue could use at home, and then left Zhou Xue's house with the child in one hand and Zhou Xue in the other.

Zhou Xue was weak because of excessive blood loss, so she could only be carried by Bai He, in this state, if the child cried, the three of them would definitely be finished.

But no matter how Zhou Xue persuaded Bai He, Bai He was unwilling to keep her here, and she could only pray that they wouldn't be too unlucky.

"What's your relationship with this kid?" Zhou Xue was lying on Bai He's back, a little embarrassed, especially when she felt Bai He's hand on her buttocks, which made her feel that her body was slightly hot, so she could only find a topic to draw attention.

Bai He went down the stairs step by step, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I have nothing to do with her, her mother's name is Liu Fangfang, and she is a strong woman......"

He told Liu Fangfang's story from beginning to end, Zhou Xue listened silently, and finally she lay on Bai He's back, covering her mouth with one hand, and sobbing in a low voice.

"This kind of beast is good to kill."

Only then did Zhou Xue understand why Baihe was covered in blood.

She felt that she knew a lot more about Baihe, this was a person she could rely on, like a light in the dark, so that these moths who were confused in the dark couldn't help but get closer, to rely on warmth.

"Shirakawa, can I rely on you?" Zhou Xue lay on Bai He's back, her face against Bai He's back, and muttered to herself in a low voice.

Bai He had the ability, so he naturally heard it clearly, and his hand couldn't help but clench his fist slightly, but in the end he relaxed again and said firmly: "Of course...... OK! ”

"You'll protect us, won't you?" Zhou Xue looked at the sunset in the distance and continued to ask.

Bai He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "I will protect you!! ”

Four months ago, a mother and daughter asked the same question about a fitness instructor who died without a place to die. The fitness instructor used the two to lure away most of the zombies, successfully infiltrated the police station, got a lot of guns and ammunition, and drove away from this desperate town.

The mother and daughter who dedicated their bodies and minds to the fitness instructor did not wait for the car to answer, leaving only a miserable cry of grief, and finally being torn apart by the zombies and eaten.

That day, Bai He pounded the ground in pain on the roof of the building, and roared like madness to the sky.

Two men made the same promise, but their moods were completely different.
