Chapter 20 A boatman who doesn't want to be a savior is not a good assistant

"Can I sit here?"

Just as Lin Yin was thinking, an old voice suddenly came, which immediately startled him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Please."

Looking back, the title that was about to pop out of Lin Yin's mouth immediately turned into an honorific.

What caught my eye was an old man with goosebumps. He was holding a wooden dragon head cane in his hand, but the end was very incongruously stained with the blood of some zombies, turning black and red, knocking on the ground, clattering, and the white robe he was wearing on the floor also turned light yellow because of the stains, and there were purple-black marks on it, needless to say, it must be traces left by blood.

Although he walked staggeringly and looked like he might fall down at any time, the old man still refused Lin Yin's support, walked to Lin Yin's side in small steps without hurry, and sat down.

The smell of zombies.

The moment the old man sat down, Lin Yin was stunned. Although the old man covered it up very well, in the past few days, he who is used to smelling the smell of zombies can be said to be an expert in this area, not to mention that the old man deliberately walked less than half a meter away from him.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten human food, can you bring me a piece?"

The old man put down his crutches and looked at the biscuit in Lin Yin's hand with interest.

"Absolutely."

The old man's indifference made Lin Yin feel a little overwhelmed. He hurriedly prepared to hand the biscuits he had bitten in his hand to the old man, but he noticed that something was wrong before reaching out, and quickly withdrew his hand, ran to Bell's side again, found a new box of biscuits, and handed it to him.

"It's okay for young people to be so impatient, no matter what the situation is, you should stay calm."

The old man bit the biscuit with his missing teeth, and his speech became slower. And after teaching Lin Yin a lesson, he didn't mean to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"You know what? Even though the texture of the biscuit is no different from the crushed sawdust to me now, I still like it, because it is only at times like this that I can feel that I am a human being and not a monster. Zombies, that's what you should call them. ”

The old man's words made Lin Qinyin and Bell, who were a little far away from him, stop moving, and looked over here, and Bell subconsciously held the knife.

But seeing that Lin Yin didn't move, the trust in his heart still made him put the knife down, but he just kept his vigilance.

"What is your purpose?"

Now that the old man had already exposed his identity by himself, Lin Yin didn't bother to think about the old man's purpose, and asked directly.

"Is there any other possibility? To save the world, of course! ”

Hearing Lin Yin's question, the old man stopped eating, raised his head and asked, his tone also had a hint of resentment.

"When I became a zombie and didn't lose consciousness, I thought it was a gift from heaven to me to become a hero to save the world. But as a zombie, I can't get close to that 'water of life', which is really the biggest irony. ”

The old man's tone turned calm again, and he stood up, his eyes facing the direction of Cold Spring Harbor, his eyes half nostalgic and half relieved.

"Now that I've finally seen a living human, it's time for the 'Noah's Ark' I prepared to come in handy, and I can turn back into a human again."

"How do you know there's something out there that can restore zombies to normal? What's your name? ”

Bell stood up and asked. The old man's explanation did not convince him completely, and it was obviously impossible for an ordinary person to know such classified information.

"My former name was Ron Cattrem, and now I prefer you to call me the boatman."

In the face of Bell's caution, the old man did not feel unhappy, but showed a hint of appreciation.

Ron Cattrem was an important member of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Ilfred's notes. In Cold Spring Harbor, where cloning and virus research are mainly conducted, it is understandable to know about this.

"So be it."

Seeing that Lin Qinyin seemed to want to ask something, Lin Yin hurriedly made up his mind and agreed to the old man's invitation.

Just kidding, someone was willing to take us to the other side, and if we got bored with the question, should we swim over? So, respect zombies, start with me, don't always want to explore the privacy of zombies.

Lin Yin praised his behavior.

Then the dissatisfied sister pinched the soft flesh on the waist and turned it around fiercely.

"Ahh

Lin Yin screamed for a while, secretly glanced back, and found that his sister didn't seem to be angry, so he hurriedly continued to scream.

"Damn, my hands hurt."

Seeing Lin Yin's scoundrel appearance, Lin Qinyin pouted and withdrew his right hand.

Seeing the appearance of Lin Yin and the others, the old man shook his head and sighed helplessly.

After the fight, under the leadership of the old man, several people came to the shore.

"This is 'Noah's Ark'?"

Looking at a semi-ellipsoidal object on the shore, Lin Yin showed a look of surprise.

"It's big, it should fit the four of us."

Lin Qinyin nodded.

"It looks hard, and it should be able to withstand the impact of zombie sea beasts."

Bell touched his chin.

"Isn't that just an oversized nut?"

Lin Yin looked dazed.

"Yes, this super nut has been bred in our laboratory for a long time, and under the infection of the virus, its size has increased rapidly, and its hardness has also increased significantly. I managed to split it in half with an instrument, and as a boat, it couldn't have been more suitable. ”

The boatman touched his boat, as if stroking his own child, with a satisfied look on his face.

None of them spoke, and after a long time, the boatman reluctantly untied the string that tied the boat, and sighed: "The next way, you will have to go by yourself." If I go with you, I will most likely be killed by the over-concentration of the eaux-de-vie after it has been taken ... I'm about to return to freedom, and I'm even more afraid of death. ”

"Okay, thank you."

"No thanks, for humanity."

"For humanity."

The 'Noah's Ark', carrying Lin Yin and a few people, staggered forward, and from time to time there were several people in the boat, and the ark was to the left and to the right, like a drunk baby.

The old man waved towards the ark, and as the ark went away, his movements slowed down until he came to a standstill. Looking at the dark sky, he straightened up and threw away his crutches, and his expression could not be seen in the darkness, only his soft sigh could be heard.

"For humanity? It's nice to be young. ”

Then he turned and left without looking back, into the shadows.

"But it's a pity that I'm no longer young, and besides, everything is going well, the plan that I have been waiting for for more than ten years, finally comes to the harvest day, I have never failed, this time, the same."

In the darkness, his firm voice came, but it couldn't hide the old age in it.

He's really old.
