Chapter 4: The Cloud of Death

Bang!

Thunder like a collapse suddenly exploded from the sky dome overhead.

Lin Xi held the bricks high and sprinted abruptly, and froze there!

He only felt the cold in his heart rushing up, and a palpitation that was a thousand times more intense than before fell from the sky with the thunder, and blasted into the deepest part of his soul without hindrance!

The fear of being isolated by the world returned again, and only in the black and white vision, Qin Nian and Xiang Fang's cries for help continued, but Lin Xi seemed to be deaf.

Like a rusty robot, he raised his head stiffly, his cervical vertebrae "clicking".

His gaze slowly lifted from the three figures fighting, over the blood-stained façade of the dormitory building, over the unusually tall canopy of trees, and finally on the blue sky overhead.

Since the cataclysm, human society has been on the verge of collapse in an instant, and many activities that will lead to environmental pollution have also come to a standstill, so in the past half a month, the overall air quality has been developing in a fresh and beautiful direction, and even the sky has become back to the pure blue that only Lin Xi had seen when he was a child.

But now, although the air is still fresh, the sky is still blue, and the sun is still bright, when that weird thunder rumbles, Lin Xi feels as if the whole world has darkened in an instant!

The panic feels like you're standing on a high place, overlooking a city at night, and suddenly the city loses power, the lights go out in front of you, and the world seems to be the only one left in the world, with no way to escape, and you can only watch the thick darkness like a plague spreading, enveloping your feet from all sides.

It's just that dreary and depressing.

Looking up from Lin Xi's point of view, the sky was originally as blue as a wash, and the sky was clear, but unfortunately, when the inexplicable thunder rolled over, the atmosphere was suddenly depressed, and the sunlight instantly lost its brilliance, and in the middle of the clear and clear sky, a small black dot suddenly appeared, as if it was burned with a cigarette butt on a blue canvas.

Then the black dot spread rapidly from an insignificant dot to all directions, and in an instant it turned into a dark cloud that was tumbling endlessly, and countless dragons and snakes of thunder and lightning flickered in the dark and heavy clouds.

From Lin Xi raising his head to the crazy spread of black clouds, in just a few short breaths, the black cloud curtain covered most of the sky tightly, and it continued to expand, the wind was fierce, rolling up countless debris, and the whole thing was an apocalyptic scene!

"Ahh

Lin Xi's mouth kept letting out strange screams of unknown meaning, and the muscles on his face had long been twisted together because of fear.

Even if he dies, he will not forget, on that day half a month ago, there was the same thunder and dark clouds, and then the world he was familiar with was completely turned into hell! Living people have become zombies, flowers and plants have become poisons, and even cats, dogs, and rabbits, who used to be used to being coquettish in front of humans, have changed from docile pets to murderous and man-eating beasts!

The whole world is crazy!

In the following time, such dark clouds have appeared many times, and there is no pattern in the time of each appearance, but one thing is certain, that is, once this kind of dark cloud appears, then whether it is zombies or mutant animals, they will all be like crazy, desperately attacking the living creatures around them, and their combat effectiveness will also be like chicken blood, greatly increased, it is because of this dark cloud that Lin Xi's surviving classmates in this dormitory building have died at least four-fifths in the past half a month, The rest are like snails shrunk in their shells, and they dare not step out of the door for half a step, so they can only wait to starve to death in despair!

Because of this, Lin Xi gave this kind of dark cloud a name in his heart, called "Death Cloud".

"Oh my God, your uncle!"

But these are not the point, seeing the dark clouds that cover the sky, Lin Xi scolded frantically in his heart, "Didn't it just appear this morning?" Why is it coming again?! If I knew you were going to have a wave, the ghost would have chosen this time to run out and find something to eat! ”

Lin Xi threw the bricks in his hand to the ground, screamed, turned around and ran away.

There were screams and cries for help from Xiang Fang and Qin Nian behind him, but he couldn't care about it at all, he didn't even dare to look back, he was afraid of seeing the desperate and hateful eyes of his classmates, but he was really powerless.

If it was just an ordinary zombie, he would still be willing to go up and fight, maybe he could save Xiang Fang and Qin Nian, but the appearance of the death cloud meant that the zombie would become extremely fierce in a short period of time, and even if he rushed forward at this time, it would only be the difference between one more and one less dead!

The whistling wind in his ears suddenly became louder, and Lin Xi began to run frantically.

At this moment, he didn't seem to feel his body anymore, so he just kept running, running, running.

The scenery on both sides was rapidly retreating, but he didn't dare to stop and take a look, for fear that as soon as he stopped, a bloody mouth with bloody gas would bite his neck!

He ran like this frantically until he kicked a raised tile under his feet, and then, with a scream, he suddenly lost his balance and fell and flew out!

Bang!

The body and the ground collided solidly.

The severe pain made Lin Xi feel like he couldn't breathe for a while, he felt that several of his ribs should have been cracked in this fall, otherwise it would not be so painful, but as long as he thought of the zombies that might catch up at any time behind him, he struggled desperately to get up, at this time, the screams of Xiang Fang and Qin Nian had gradually become inaudible, and he finally couldn't resist the curiosity of looking back, and slowly turned his head.

However, after just one glance, he couldn't help but let out a sharp scream!

"Ahh

Xiang Fang is dead.

His eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the sky, most of his neck had been gnawed off by zombies, and half of his white throat was poked on the bloody section, and the blood was still spurting from the broken carotid artery, accumulating into a small puddle of blood on the ground, which looked shocking.

That bright red color, in Lin Xi's eyes, was like a turbulent sea of blood, which seriously stimulated his nerves and forced him to scream out loud, otherwise he would not be able to soothe the fear in his heart at all!

About a few meters away from Xiang Fang's corpse, Qin Nian was also thrown to the ground by the zombie, and only his last breath was left.

It looked like he had tried to escape, but had been unsuccessful, and the zombie was lying on top of him, munching on the flesh on his chest.

It's just that at this moment, this dying boy is staring at Lin Xi's direction, his eyes full of longing and resentment.

One of his blood-stained left hands was still weakly stretched out in the air, and his five fingers spasmed and twisted into a deformed and terrifying shape, as if he wanted to pull Lin Xi back to die with him.

"For ...... Miscellaneous...... ......"

Qin Nian's mouth finally squirmed a few times, and suddenly his head tilted, and he died.

But the unforgettable unwillingness and resentment in his eyes before he died stabbed deeply into Lin Xi's heart like a red-hot soldering iron!

"I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

Lin Xi held his head and stepped back again and again, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in tears.

He suddenly had a premonition that in his lifetime, Qin Nian's eyes before he died would turn into a nightmare, pestering him endlessly when he dreamed back at midnight every day.

"I'm really sorry ......"

He cried hysterically, and kept muttering, "I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to save you, I want to save you, but I can't, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry! ”

He said in one breath that he didn't know how many "I'm sorry", but he couldn't get a "It's okay" from the dead person.

At this time, Lin Xi suddenly began to hate himself incomparably, and he even felt that it would be good if he rushed up just now, so that even if he and Qin Nian were bitten to death and eaten together, it would be better than suffering the torture of conscience here.

But just when he was in great pain, a loud noise suddenly came from the side, which instantly corrected his delusion.

Rumble!

The glass door of a dormitory building not far away was suddenly smashed from the inside by a strong force, and in the flying glass slag, another zombie rushed out frantically!

It can be seen that it is also affected by the cloud of death above its head, and now it is in a state of rage.

The shattered glass sliced the zombie's face to pieces, but it was of no use other than to make its already hideous appearance even more poignant, and it frantically swung its limbs as if to devour everything in front of it.

As soon as this zombie appeared, it immediately roared and looked in Lin Xi's direction, and a pair of venomous snake-like dead white pupils mixed with greed, cruelty, and resentment stared directly at him!

"Ugh!"

Lin Xi's hypocritical apology was immediately stuck!

Looking at his own reflection in the zombie's pupils, he suddenly felt that the idea he had just had was extremely stupid!

The image of zombies eating people flashed in front of his eyes, and his eyes were full of wanton blood.

In an instant, what guilt, what kind of death is not saved, what kind of classmate friendship, at this critical juncture of life and death, all of them were easily thrown out of the clouds by him, and the only emotion in his heart now is the fear of boiling and about to explode!

"Mom! Don't eat me! ”

He screamed violently and turned to run, the tears and dust on his face mixed together, looking comical and embarrassed.

After the cataclysm, the road became very rough, and he stumbled and ran, falling and getting up again and again, and his palms and knees were bruised and bloody.

But fortunately, the new zombie was still some distance away from Lin Xi, after he tried his best to escape, the zombie just stared at his back a few times, hesitated for a moment, and was finally attracted by the smell of blood emitted by the corpses of Qin Nian and the two not far away, gave up continuing the pursuit, and instead whimpered in a low voice, walked to the corpse, lowered his head and began to eat.

For a time, the huge campus was filled with blood.

At this moment, all sounds seem to be muted by pressing the mute button.

In addition to the still whistling wind, only the frightened wheezing sound of Lin Xi in the distance remained, and the "click" sound of the two zombies tearing flesh and blood when they were eating.

It's like hell.
