The tension of consciousness quickly woke me up, and my eyes were spinning, and my chest felt like I had been punched, and I tried to move my limbs, but the damage was not too great; Thankfully, I put on my seatbelt after the ignition was turned off, otherwise I would have died a terrible death.

Thankfully, I unbuckled my seatbelt, and my untied body immediately landed on the twisted roof, and I had a splitting headache and tried to figure out how to climb out of the car. At this time, there was a rush of running sounds outside the car, as if there were five or six wild dogs surrounding their lone prey, and the footsteps near the scene of the car accident became more and more sound.

Hell, if I leave here, I'm going to be torn apart by these beasts in no time, but staying in a car is as dangerous as locking yourself in a cage, and it's going to explode at any moment.

The pain in my chest made it difficult for me to breathe, but now I can't care about my physical discomfort. After finding the gun, I rolled out of the cab, and as soon as I came out, a mutant stood in front of me with a green light like a beast with his eyes, and I just wanted to shoot, but it was so fast that it was already pressed against me before I could raise the gun, roaring and opening its mouth wide at me. I held the gun in one hand and struggled to prop up the mutant's throat, and with the other I tried my best to find a nearby weapon that could be used as a weapon. The sharp fangs were getting closer, and despair was about to take over my sanity for the last second, and I touched the deformed iron pestle, and then grabbed the part that was supposed to be a car drop and stabbed it into the mutant's temple, and the rotten skull was easily pierced by the iron pestle.

No sooner had I pushed away the dead than I could sit down, when a pair of terrible green eyes flashed in front of me. I gritted my teeth and slammed the butt of my gun into the whirling mutant. The mutant I fought back threw to the side, and I took aim and shot it in the head before it could turn around.

The stench of brains splashed all over me, and the eerie howls of mutants irritated my eardrums through the humid air in the eerie tunnels. I shuddered to my feet, completely unconcerned about the safety of my side and ran to the light in front of me. Someone shot at me just now, but it was better than being torn apart by a mutant.

The lights in the distance were intermittent among the flickering figures, and I kept running towards them. The sound of gunfire from the front ceased to come out after a desperate wail; This does not bode well. My anxiety distracted me as a mutant took advantage of the weakness and a flutter slammed down, but the muzzle of the rifle I held in front of it was just under its chin. I tried to thrust the rifle into the mutant's jaw, and the beast tried to bite my neck with the muzzle-piercing mouth, so I braced its body with all my strength and pulled the trigger of the rifle.

After the deafening gunshot, it was as if I had lost my hearing in both ears, and the buzzing sound stimulated my brain, making it difficult for me to distinguish between the east and the west. Through the way of bone sound, I heard my own difficult breathing. The headlights in front of me faded in the halo, but instead of giving up, I got up in a daze and staggered towards it.

Ten more steps, ten more steps before I can find them. I kept using this way of deceiving myself to motivate my legs to keep moving forward, and in fact I didn't know what I would see when I walked into the headlights, maybe it was the corpses of Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying, or maybe they were standing among the mutants they had eliminated everywhere looking at me...... Of course, there may also be nothing there.

Plagued by terrible physical condition and chaotic thoughts, I walked I don't know how many ten steps I took, until someone put a cold object against my head, and I didn't stop. I slowly raised my head, and the sounds around me gradually returned, the sound of the wind and the creepy echoes of the tunnel, and the words that the man in front of me who looked like a scout in the green mountains said to me.

"Du Yuheng, don't blame me."

"Team...... Captain? "Only then did I understand that Uncle Zhong just mentioned that Captain Liu Yong was the captain of my team. What the hell, I don't even know what my squad leader is called...... But now he's not my captain anymore.

"You go back now, we can still clear up." The captain pouted his gun and pointed his chin behind me and said, "The mayor knows you're going to influence this project, so he didn't let you kids participate." ”

"Huang Weizheng, where are they? My friend, where are they! ”

The captain didn't answer my question, and I was slightly comforted to see that he was in disarray, and the blood stains on his tattered combat jacket did not look like human blood. He held a gun in his left hand, his drooping right arm seemed to be badly wounded, his red eyes still retained some sympathy for me, and his face was convulsing with large beads of sweat.

Liu Yong bit his lower lip, sniffled, and said to me: "Du Yuheng, you let me end all this, and I can guarantee your safety when I go back." ”

"I'm going to let you keep my friend safe! Huang Weizheng: Where are they? Tell me! ”

In the face of my two brutal questioning, the captain's patience was almost at the limit, but his eyes were a little erratic, as if he was still worried about something.

His gun was pointed right at my head, and if I resisted the slightest, he could have pulled the trigger first, so it seemed that I had to find a way to convince him if I surrendered. "Captain, listen to me, I have backed up a copy of the frontline information for Qingshan, and you don't have to rob Huang Weizheng of their share at all."

"Sure enough, you're just a kid." After listening to what I thought was a convincing explanation, Liu Yong was not swayed by my words, but seemed to have known that I would do this, "Du Yuheng, the mayor has long thought that there is more than one copy of your precious information. Although at first they thought that Huang Weizheng would carry your data for backup, but later we learned that you had actually given us the data. ”

"Dr. Liao......"

"That's right, your most trusted Dr. Liao. In order to get more research power to find a cure for the subspecies virus, she told the mayor that you had given her the information. In exchange, we provide her with as much research equipment and access as possible. But even so, Liao Yuan didn't create a vaccine, but Wanxiang City, who didn't have the help of information, made this thing first. ”

"So you took the initiative to contact Wanxiang City and asked them to send someone to exchange information with you with the vaccine......"

"yes, you've finally figured it out. Listen, Du Yuheng, the simple idea of everyone sharing treasure will only appear in the fantasies of children like you. Give what you need, that's the reality. Liu Yong's left hand holding the gun was slightly raised, suggesting that I should make a decision immediately, "Of course, your friend will be in Wanxiang City, which I admit we didn't expect." If you want to blame it, you will be blamed for your bad luck...... Originally, these things could be solved quickly. ”

"Now that Qingshan has gotten the vaccine, Wanxiang City has gotten the information, what's wrong with that? Maybe they can actually make a vaccine? ”

"Hah! You should also have thought about what would have happened to us if they had made a vaccine first. Do you think they're going to make a big deal and let's go over and buy it together? It's still the same sentence, you are too naïve, Du Yuheng! The captain gritted his teeth and laughed at me, "There are many things you don't understand. ”

"Until the end of the world...... Are we still killing each other......"

Liu Yong ignored my self-talk, and said impatiently: "Okay, everything that should be said has been said, for the sake of you being my team member, you should make a decision quickly." ”

Under the white light of the headlights, Liu Yong's silhouette face was so ruthless, and the truth he told me couldn't help but understand why this apocalypse came, and the muzzle he pointed at me made me fearless...... Maybe death really is a relief.

"You shoot." I stared into the captain's eyes and said, "You guys won." ”

"You chose it, don't blame me."

Liu Yong said, his fingers hooked slightly, and at this time, a sharp arrow whizzed by, piercing his left wrist holding the gun. The pain caused his hand to tilt, and the gun went off fire as it was thrown away, and the missed bullet grazed my cheek and hit the abandoned car door next to me. I wiped the hot abrasion wound on my cheek, and like the panicked Liu Yong, I looked around for the shooter who had released the cold arrow. If I hadn't guessed, this person must have been Zhang Xiaoying.

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I saw Liu Yong's chest suddenly stab out with a blade about the width of his palm. The painful captain was lifted up by the man behind him against the wound, he wanted to look back and see the person who was about to take his life, but the man behind him turned the blade, and the pain of tearing his internal organs instantly made him have to give up this idea. The cold blade gradually withdrew from his chest, and the gushing blood immediately stained his shirt, and he looked at me fiercely, his limp legs unable to support his body, and he could only collapse in a pool of blood. After the captain fell, I saw the man who was so ruthless.

"There's a lot I don't understand, but I know you're not a good person." Huang Weizheng drew his knife and flicked it, and Liu Yong's blood splattered to the side, drawing a blood line.

"Cow ......"

I couldn't believe my eyes, the boy in front of me was holding a bloody machete in his right hand, carrying a shotgun on his shoulder, and he was wearing only a gray short-sleeved T-shirt covered in blood when he took off his jacket, and compared to my surprised expression, he was surprisingly calm, not so much a friend I knew, but a killer who helped me out.

After the threat was lifted, he hurriedly ran to my side to check on my injuries, his cold and unforgiving gaze disappearing as soon as he turned to me. "Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

"This guy named Liu Yong is also from Wanxiang City, I didn't expect him to come and hunt us down with a group of Qingshan people." Huang Weizheng's words always made me feel a little awkward and indescribable.

"You know him, too?"

"I kind of know. It seems that we still have a lot of things to solve when we return to Wanxiang City. ”

I stood up with the help of Huang Weizheng, and at this time, Zhang Xiaoying, who had been hiding in the dark, also walked towards us with an old wolf with an injured abdomen.

"Things have developed like this, you still want to go back to Wanxiang City?"

Huang Weizheng didn't answer me, but Zhang Xiaoying gently patted me on the shoulder to express comfort. The headlights barely made the mutants in the tunnel dare not approach us easily, but it was still not suitable to stay here for long, and the noise around me made me have no intention of caring about the dispute with Huang Weizheng.

Zhang Xiaoying let the injured old wolf sit next to me, and she pulled out her saber and trotted into the car with the lights on, and after checking the condition of the car, she shouted to us: "This car can still move, come up." ”

Huang Weizheng and I carried the old wolf together and asked him to sit in the back seat with me, while Huang Weizheng sat in the passenger seat. After Zhang Xiaoying confirmed that we were all seated, she stepped on the accelerator and the wheels spun rapidly. I felt a strong push back as the car turned into the normal road after running over several corpses and headed for the hole I had come from.

"Why go back?" I asked.

"Even if we go to Wanxiang City, we won't go through this tunnel." Huang Weizheng glanced back at me and explained, "Just now we were suddenly blocked by two cars from Qingshan and forced to rush into this tunnel. ”

While listening to Huang Weizheng's explanation, I looked around to be vigilant about the situation outside the car, and accidentally found that there was a walkie-talkie and an ID card of Qingshan Scout in the car, and when I picked it up, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine - this is Liu Yong's card...... "This is Qingshan's car." ”

"Yes, our car was knocked over." Through the rearview mirror, I saw that Zhang Xiaoying also happened to be looking at me who was sloppy, "How did you run out of Qingshan?" ”

"Chen Mo said that you are in danger, so I rushed over......" Speaking of which, I really felt a little overwhelmed, not only did I not help, but I almost lost my own life, "That...... I didn't expect things to turn out like this......"

"It can't be helped...... It's not your fault. Zhang Xiaoying's smile made me feel a little comforted by the guilt.

We also drove out of the tunnel safely, and were about to turn into the small fork in the road leading to Wanxiang City, when the intercom in the car suddenly sounded. "Attention to the falcons, attention to the falcons, all the falcons return to their nests at once, and the nest is in a hurry, and the nest is in a hurry...... Repeat......"

I clutched the walkie-talkie, not sure whether to reply or ignore it. Huang Weizheng also understood my mood at the moment, so he proposed: "Let's go to Qingshan first." ”

"What? It's not good. "Although I do want to take Huang Weizheng and them back, to be honest, if Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying, who are already scavengers in Wanxiang City, really follow me back, it is difficult to say whether there will be any more danger, not to mention that we just escaped death, "You just let me down near the overpass, and I will go back to Qingshan alone." ”

"No need, it's too dangerous for you to go back by yourself, if we go back together, we can confront Zhang Xizheng and them in person. Isn't that what you want me to do? Huang Weizheng said, the walkie-talkie in my hand was still repeating what he had just said, but before Huang Weizheng's words were finished, the other end of the walkie-talkie suddenly lost contact, "I think there may be really big trouble over there in Qingshan, no matter what, we still have to find Chen Mo and Liang Minxi." ”

That's right, the most important thing now is not to save the world or play apocalyptic politics, but to find a way to keep our friends safe.

It was getting late, and there were many rickety figures on both sides of the road. However, what is even more disturbing is that smoke has been billowing over the direction of Aoyama, and the checkpoint on the overpass is empty, which I have never seen before. When we came to the fence of the unguarded safe zone, I felt as if I had seen the scene in Tianyang.

The entire Qingshan Safety Zone was plunged into a sea of fire, the main city building had been engulfed in flames, and most of the shops and small houses in the commercial area were also burning, some people in the city were busy putting out the fire, but more people were taking up arms, as if they were fighting each other, and when they looked carefully, they found that they were not fighting humans, but mutants!

Could it be that just now, the Qingshan Safety Zone was invaded by mutants? From time to time, vehicles and people with large bags and bags of luggage escaped from the safety zone, and the chaotic scene was on the verge of getting out of control. We parked the car next to the gate, and when a few people saw it, they hurriedly came forward and begged us to take them to escape. From their mouths, I realized that Huang Weizheng and others, who were waste pickers, were not simply victims of this apocalyptic game; The vaccines they bring can actually cause sudden death, and then turn the dead patients into ...... Mutant ......

Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying were still asking the refugees for more information about the fall of Qingshan, and in my eyes, they were more like they were acting to show me these false feelings. Angry, I stepped back and pointed my gun at the two scavengers, scolding, "You are crazy......"

"Yu Heng, things are not as you think......" Huang Weizheng, who was not surprised by my behavior of raising a gun, signaled to me to calm down, but how dare I believe his words at this time?

"Shut up! I believe in you so much...... I didn't think you guys were fucking human! ”

The refugees who were still begging us to take us with them quickly ran away quietly after realizing that something was wrong, and now there is no one between me, Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying. I held my rifle and walked away from them both, even if I died, I didn't want to be with these two vicious people! Damn, it's been a mess......

"Du Yuheng, Wei Zheng and I really don't know about the vaccine. At that time, we rushed here after we got the vaccine, and the people in Wanxiang City also used the same vaccine, and maybe the same problem occurred over there. Don't be impulsive yet, we're in a hurry...... Let's discuss ......"

Even if Zhang Xiaoying said so, I still couldn't do it. First Qingshan's pursuit, and now the real and fake vaccines in Wanxiang City, I don't dare to believe anyone's words now. I shook my head and said, "You brought the vaccine, how do you want me to believe your words?" ”

"You don't believe us, I don't care, but do you think I'm going to hurt you and Chen Mo?" Huang Weizheng took a step closer to me, put his hands in front of his chest and said, "You put down the gun, let's find a way to find Chen Mo and them first, and you will come to clean me up later, how about it?" ”

Put in order? If this tragic thing was really done by Huang Weizheng, then I would definitely not show mercy to his subordinates, but Chen Mo's safety is indeed a top priority. Just then, a truck suddenly pulled out of the safety zone, and we each pushed backwards, and the truck sped past us.

The moment the car drove away, Huang Weizheng suddenly stepped forward and wanted to take the rifle from my hand; Actually I had enough time to shoot him, but at that moment, I hesitated, and he didn't.

"You put the gun down first!"

"Just your little strength? Sure enough, what you said is nonsense! ”

I blocked between the two of us, his strength was not as strong as mine, and Zhang Xiaoying, who was standing on the side, did not make a move. The two of us scuffled together, and the rifles we were fighting for were thrown to the ground, but we didn't stop, on the contrary, we fought harder. Even if Huang Weizheng's body is thin, the fists he hit still have some strength. And after a few rounds of punches and kicks, I simply let go and tried my best to teach this guy a lesson.

He fell to his knees after being struck twice in the abdomen by me, and I had little energy left, so I simply kicked him down. In a trance, I had an urge to kill him. I gritted my teeth, picked up the rifle on the ground, stood in front of Huang Weizheng, and condescendingly looked at him who fell to the ground in pain, with a blue nose and swollen face. Huang Weizheng was struggling to support his body with one hand, covering his stomach with the other, the corner of his eye was broken by me and bleeding, and his left eye couldn't be opened, but he still barely looked at me with his right eye open. From the look in his eyes, I knew that he felt my killing intent, and the words that Qin Rong said to me at that time also unconsciously echoed in my ears. Just as I was hesitating, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my thigh with the deafening sound of gunshots. As soon as my feet were crooked, my body immediately lost its center of gravity, and Huang Weizheng was surprised, and even watched me fall to the ground in horror.

With my legs weak, I collapsed next to the door frame of the open safe zone, and the left thigh of my pants was quickly stained red with my blood. We all looked in the direction where the gunshots were coming from, and the old wolf, who was leaning on the back seat of the car, gasped and put down the pistol in his hand. At this time, Huang Weizheng didn't know whether to save me who was shot, or to take advantage of this time to give me a break.

However, Huang Weizheng made a choice that made me feel a little relieved, but he staggered to his feet, and as soon as he took the first step at me, I raised my rifle again to stop him from doing so. "We're really not on the same path......"

"Yu Heng...... Why don't you believe me......"

"When did you ever believe me?" Aoyama's main building exploded at this moment, and the building was shattered in the dazzling light of the fire, as if our friendship that should have been unbreakable. Many of the residents of Qingshan came out of the safe zone one after another, but they did not have time to pay attention to our confrontation. I wasn't going to shoot, I just gritted my teeth and pointed in a random direction with my chin. "Let's go......"

As the residents ran, the air seemed to be filled with a burnt putrid stench, and several mutants whose bodies had been burned to black charcoal scurried out of the burned buildings, following the panicked crowd towards us. Zhang Xiaoying hurriedly pulled her bow and shot a few from a distance, but the crowd of people fleeing everywhere affected her vision, Huang Weizheng picked up the shotgun that was kicked aside by me in the scuffle with me just now, but she couldn't easily shoot in the crowd. I shot a monster that was about to attack the survivors, but the gunfire caught the mutant's attention.

The three mutants immediately ran towards me, and Huang Weizheng, who saw this situation, shouted for Zhang Xiaoying to release the arrow while pushing aside the fleeing crowd. Zhang Xiaoying shot an arrow at one of the mutants, and Huang Weizheng also just shot the head of the other mutant, and also hit the bottom plate of the last mutant. But it was the last mutant who fell in front of me, and only the upper body was left to pounce on me, and the mutilated body weighed heavily on my bulleted thighs, and my hands were weak and helpless to resist under the severe pain, and it was also at this moment that the mutant bit my shoulder, and the pain immediately spread to my whole body, and I couldn't help but scream in pain.

"No!" Huang Weizheng roared and rushed forward, pulled away the mutant who was biting my shoulder, threw it on the ground, and stomped on the mutant's charred skull.

The mutant's deep bite marks made us all desperate for a moment, and Huang Weizheng's eyes were red, and he hurriedly covered my wound with his hands. "No, no, no, no, no......"

I pushed his hand away, glanced at the wound, and smiled weakly, "Ah...... I almost didn't bite off a piece of meat...... But it looks like there's no way to amputate the face, damn it, it's really shit luck......"

Zhang Xiaoying also came and stood behind Huang Weizheng and looked at me helplessly, judging from her and Huang Weizheng's expressions, I must be very embarrassed now. "Wei Zheng, we can't do anything about it......" This sentence with Zhang Xiaoying's style is really to the point......

"That's not how it shouldn't be...... It shouldn't be like this......" Huang Weizheng said regretfully, "I, I'll go to Wanxiang City now!" Maybe they can cure you! ”

"Even now, you still have a deep belief in Wanxiang City......

Huang Weizheng grabbed my hand and said with tears in his eyes: "I just want to save you...... I'm doing this to save you! ”

At this point, no amount of argument and distrust is useless. I smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, I still messed up......"

My words reminded both of us of the various deeds in high school that fell short because of me, and Huang Weizheng couldn't help wiping his tears and smiled: "...... You're still in trouble as always. ”

"There's no way, you guys go to Chen Mo and them......" I tried to stand up, but my left leg couldn't exert force after being shot, so I barely stood on my feet with the help of Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying.

"You...... What are you doing? "Seeing that I was weak like an old tower swaying in a hurricane, Huang Weizheng still wanted to help me, but I signaled him not to do it.

"I'm going to find a place to pass the last bit of time......" I limped away from Huang Weizheng and Zhang Xiaoying, without looking back at their expressions, "You guys can leave here immediately after finding Chen Mo...... ...... from Nanning"

After walking some distance away from them, I looked back and saw that they were still standing there, looking helplesser than I was, and behind them was the fiery green hill safety zone, and the purgatory-like screams hung over the smoke of the safe zone, like a miserable requiem, which was also sending me out of this lingering world.

"Hey, cow!" I endured the sharp pain from the tearing of my dry throat and shouted to Huang Weizheng, "Take care of Chen Mo for me!" ”
