It was as if I was wandering alone in a starless universe where there was nothing but darkness, not even a sound. However, I did not feel fear because of this, there was no joy or sorrow, only loneliness and hesitation. Walking in this world where there is only darkness, I can't see my body, but I can feel the coldness of my limbs. Am I already dead? I remember that it didn't take long for me to have this premonition after being injected by Qin Rong...... It's a pity, I don't know if my friends are out of danger, maybe I'm the lucky one in a way.

"We meet again." In the darkness, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears. I couldn't see him, but I could feel that we were close, quite close, not ringing in my ears anymore, but more like it was coming out of my head.

"Who are you? Where is it? ”

"Who am I? I am you, you see we are one. "Unbelievable, am I schizophrenic? Could it be that he was really talking to himself.

My mind flashed back to the last time I was shot unconscious, and the owner of the voice seemed to know what I was thinking, and smiled, "That's right, it's you." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, just wanted to tell you that it's not time to rest, it's time to wake up."

"What?"

"Don't you understand, Du Yuheng, you still have a lot of things to do......"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, who the hell are you?"

The voice didn't answer me, it seemed as if he had left, and I was the only one left in the darkness. No, there are other voices! This time, the sound was rhythmic and progressively crescendo like a progressive drumbeat to a high-powered – it was my heartbeat, a symbol of my life, I was alive, yes! I'm alive!

I felt the opening of my lungs, the sudden rise in temperature in my limbs, and the light of a morning star in the distance. A throbbing pain from my heart suddenly woke up my confused soul, and the light in front of me became brighter and brighter, and I wanted to reach out to cover it, only then I realized that I saw my hand again, and I heard a faint noise in my ears, and I smelled a familiar smell in my nostrils, it was time to get out of this hellish place! In a flash, the starlight in the distance suddenly brightened, and the light spread in an instant, and the dazzling white light made me unable to see clearly ahead again.

"Huh? Look! I immediately recognized that it was Liang Minxuan's voice burst into laughter, and she was as surprised as if she had discovered a new continent on the boundless sea, and said, "Look! He's awake! ”

My gaze returned, and my familiar friends looked at me with tears streaming down their faces, making me feel uncomfortable for a while. The dull pain in my chest has not gone away, and I guess they were rescuing me who had stopped my heartbeat.

"You didn't do artificial respiration just now...... didn't expect that the first thing I said when I woke up was this, and my friends couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhang Xiaoying stretched her waist with her ten fingers together, and said with a smile: "Nonsense, you don't have a heartbeat." If not, how do you wake up. "Looking at her like that, I guess I can guess who saved me. If Liang Minxuan is allowed to do it, it is estimated that everything will be fine if I am not pressed to death.

"Are you alright? Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

I smiled crookedly, the first time I saw Huang Weizheng with tears in his eyes, I must remember this moment, and use it as a handle to ridicule him in the future. When I first woke up, my strength had not fully recovered, so I had to gently push him with my hand and smiled: "It's nothing, it's almost like sleeping." ”

"It's better to have a check-up if you have the chance." I really can't stand this guy's caution, but also, who knows what Qin Rong has played in my body. When I think about it, I realize that there are still people who don't know how to do now.

"What about Xie Tao?"

"I'm fine......" We both looked at Xie Tao, who was leaning against the wall not far above my head. He was sweating profusely, feeling a little weak, and his abdomen was still stained red from the bandage, but it looked like he should have stopped bleeding for the time being, and he said shyly, "Thank you for sacrificing your life just now." ”

I nodded to him, feeling the gratitude that came with this tolerance. Compared with Huang Canmin, Xie Tao is indeed lucky. Poor Huang Canmin was lying in a pool of blood coldly, his body had begun to turn white, and he was lying far away as if he had been abandoned. His face is not facing us, and I wish he had closed his eyes peacefully......

When I woke up, two bandits in charge of guarding also came to determine my condition, and the shotgun they were holding in one of them was the Bonelli M4 that had been seized from Huang Weizheng. This guy stood next to Hwang Chanmin's corpse and impatiently kicked his leg away, as if kicking away a piece of garbage that was in the way, making people feel angry when they saw it, but the gun in his hand made us helpless what he did. The other weak-looking bandit was just holding a firewood knife in his hand, although he was quite tall but a little thin, his age should be about the same as ours, if it weren't for his companions, Huang Weizheng and I would have been able to subdue him easily.

"Get out of the way." The tall bandit pushed my friend away like a tiger, glanced at me a few times, and as soon as I turned around to make sure I was awake, he suddenly shivered and stood still.

His companion was surprised and asked him a few questions, but the tall man was just dumbfounded, and his stiff mouth was as speechless as if he had lost his ability to speak. Wei Liqin was the first to notice that something was wrong, and when he turned his head to look, he jumped back like an electric shock, and instinctively rushed us all to the wall with one hand.

It was also at the same moment that Xie Tao shouted at the bandit who had no idea what was happening: "Be careful! ”

The bandit with the gun didn't know what was going on, and he wanted to warn Xie Tao, but he accidentally found that Huang Canmin, who was already dead, crawled up behind him like a corpse in a ghost story. Seeing this scene, everyone, including me, felt a chill down their spines, and the bandit fired a shot at Huang Canmin in a panic. The shotgun shot at close range directly made Huang Canmin's skin open, and his left hand was also blown to pieces. The terrible thing was that it didn't feel pain at all, and still writhed its head and stared directly at the bandit in front of him with its gray eyes without pupils, and opened its mouth weakly, letting out a cry as pale as a soul. It should be said that it is not Huang Canmin for a long time, but just a soulless shell.

Facing Huang Canmin, who was about to pounce on him, the bandit had already been frightened into the six gods, even if he held a powerful shotgun in his hand, it would be useless, his legs were frozen in place, as if imprisoned by a spell, like a statue.

"Shoot! Hit him in the head! ”

Huang Weizheng just gave a key hint, and the diseased Huang Canmin pounced on the bandits like a mad beast. The guy didn't have time to resist and was crushed to the ground. He cried out to us for help, but how dare we, who are defenseless, come forward and fall into trouble? His companion with the firewood knife froze in place like a frightened little girl, and the firewood knife in his hand was shaken off the ground.

Zhang Xiaoying, who was quick-eyed, was in danger, she picked up the firewood knife without saying a word, and rushed to the back of Huang Canmin, who was still eating the bandits; Huang Canmin, who was aware of the threat, also turned around at this time and stared at her thoughtfully, as if there was still a trace of consciousness.

"I'm not going to be soft, Brother Soldier." Zhang Xiaoying smiled crookedly, "Rest in peace." ”

Huang Canmin did not attack Zhang Xiaoying, who was close at hand, as if he intended to let the other party finish off him. At the same time, Zhang Xiaoying clenched the firewood knife with both hands and stabbed Huang Canmin's heavenly spirit cover and plunged it straight into his brain. Suddenly, the brain splattered, and the mutant immediately fell to the ground. Zhang Xiaoying didn't stand in a trance with a blank mind like I did when I solved the first mutant I saw, maybe she was already used to her friends and relatives who had mutated.

"You've been bitten." Walking to the dying bandits, Zhang Xiaoying, who was covered in blood, looked at the bandits twitching in the pool of blood without a trace of emotion, and immediately carried out the death penalty after the final verdict was announced.

The bandit was dying, and his remaining companion had not yet come out of the horror. Zhang Xiaoying picked up the shotgun on the ground and also found some bullets from the body of the bandit. She handed these over to Huang Weizheng, saying that this kind of weapon that was only imposing but not practical would not help her. Huang Weizheng must not agree with the huntress in his heart, but judging the situation and having no time to argue now, he smiled meaningfully at Zhang Xiaoying, and took the shotgun and bullets without saying much.

The frightened young bandit curled up in the corner of the room and watched as we each discussed our plans in a nervous and orderly manner, and he didn't stop us, and I guess he couldn't do it. Leaving him here is basically waiting to accept Qin Rong's punishment, and it is estimated that it is only a dead end. After talking to a few friends, I decided to take him with me and leave this damn place.

"Can you get a car?" I kind of gave this guy a chance, "You can't live if you stay here, come with us." ”

"I ......"

"Help us get the car and medicine, and write off everything before." Wei Liqin stood behind me with his hands on his hips, and he didn't know when he added another one to my original conditions.

"It should be possible to ......"

"Okay, what's your name?"

"Lin Qu ......"

"Well, then we're in the same boat from now on, don't have the idea of luck."

I guess Wei Liqin didn't know what he was talking about, but fortunately, Lin Qu didn't care, he told us very sincerely: "Now Qin Rong is taking most of the people to attack the Tianyang base, there is no one to guard here, you ...... We should have an easy way to get a car. “

"Wait a minute, you said to attack the Tianyang base?" Hearing that his base was about to be attacked, Xie Tao excitedly stepped forward to support his wound with Huang Weizheng's support and asked, "It should be night now, there are mutants everywhere outside, and a large group of them can't even wear Tianyang City......"

I don't know when, Xie Tao also accepted my name for mutants. Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qu interrupted: "Qin Rong has already found a way to stop those zombies for a short time...... That's what you call the mutant attack. ”

"How?"

"Mutants are photophobic."

"We know this, but they will attack and gather under the light source, and if they use the light to search at night, won't they be surrounded?"

"If you drive all the way, you won't have to worry about being blocked...... We repaired an armored car the other day. ”

"Armored vehicles?" I couldn't believe my ears. In order to save fuel, the only two or three armored vehicles in the Tianyang base rarely dispatched, but I didn't expect these bandits to get one.

"Well, open the road with armored vehicles, and the rest of the cars will follow. Bright lights on the roof ......"

"Wait a minute," Liang Minxuan seemed to be aware of the bandits' battle plan, "If that's the case, then does Qin Rong want to lure all the mutants in the entire Tianyang City to the Tianyang base?" ”

"Yes."

In the face of Lin Qu's affirmation, we were all shocked. Even the powerful special forces can't resist the horde of zombies in the entire city, so Qin Rong can kill people with a knife and easily eliminate his "allies". Xie Tao was anxious and wanted to leave here immediately and rush back to the base to warn, but unfortunately his physical condition did not allow him to do so at all.

"Xie Tao, you can only stay here now." I said to this stubborn and loyal soldier, "Lin Qu and I went back to the base to tell Liu Licheng and let him get ready for battle. ”

"No! Isn't it the same as throwing yourself into the net when you go back? ”

"You forgot, Chen Mo and Ban Zhiyu are still there, and I also have something to say to Liu Licheng."

"I'll go with you." Huang Weizheng pulled the bolt and loaded, if I don't agree, it is estimated that it is impossible to want his gun, "I let you act alone before, and I almost died." ”

"Looks like you were captured first." Even so, I naturally agreed to go with me.

"If that's the case, then I'll go with you too." Liang Minxuan shouted, "I also want to avenge Long Hao!" ”

"Revenge? Oh, he's alive, right in the base. Huang Weizheng patted his head as if he remembered the package left at home and said.

"Huh? That's great, why didn't you say it earlier......" Liang Minxuan muttered a few words in a low voice, blushing in a blink of an eye, and he didn't know what feelings these guys had cultivated during these days of being captive. The unruly eldest lady would blush, and it is estimated that there must be an article in it.

"Okay, that's it, let's go our separate ways. Lin Qu, you tell Zhang Xiaoying where to put the medicine, and then Zhang Xiaoying will go and get it. Wei Liqin, you and Zhang Xiaoying will take care of Xie Tao together, remember not to stay in this room, find a place to hide first. ”

"I know you can hide in a storage room to the left of the exit on the third floor, and basically no one will go to that area, and that storage room is not easy to find." Although we were skeptical of Lin's suggestion, we decided to follow it.

I don't know where I got the confidence so calmly, and everyone had no objections, and the action began. When I left the room, I also heard Wei Liqin's humorous accosting to Zhang Xiaoying, but before Zhang Xiaoying could reply, the unaware Huang Weizheng closed the door, I think poor Wei Liqin probably won't get any friendly answers, I hope he can find some painkillers later.

Lin Qu did not play tricks, and with his help, our group successfully escaped the eyes and ears of the bandits left behind and came to the first floor of the department store. For security reasons, the mall's underground parking lot has been completely sealed, and the first floor has been directly used as the parking and unloading area of their fortress. There is a huge welded iron cage in the middle of this floor, which is the "gladiatorial arena" that Xie Tao and I saw upstairs before. The filthy blood stains inside and the rancid smell of blood in the air constantly evoked Liang Minxuan's painful memories.

After sneaking around the iron cage and sneaking a short distance towards the main entrance of the mall, I could clearly feel the change in the smell in the air, the smell of killing was gradually replaced by a pungent smell of oil residue, and the floor beneath my feet became gray and slippery, this was probably the place we were looking for. It is not clear that the traces left by those wheels after being crushed can be clearly seen in the open space, but it is a pity that most of the cars have already driven out of the raid on the Tianyang base with Qin Rong. Luckily, a white bread with little modification was parked in the corner, and a man in a white vest was engrossed in welding wire mesh for the windows, unaware that we were approaching. Because it was already night, the main lights in the mall had been turned off so as not to attract the attention of the mutants roaming the city, and the remaining emergency lights were not enough to expose us.

The shotgun in Huang Weizheng's hand is our only guarantee of force, but I believe that he will definitely not shoot easily, after all, we are facing humans and not mutants. Shooting this guy with one shot is definitely not our best strategy, not only will it expose that we have attracted the support of the bandits, but we also don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately. Hiding behind the counter next to the pillar, a few of us discussed countermeasures with each other in whispered and incomprehensible sign language. I was worried that I would attract the attention of the bandit, but Liang Minxuan took the initiative and quietly approached the repairman with his back to us when our discussion was fruitless.

Although I have to admire the light steps of this bold and fierce girl, her adventurous move really made me sweat when I was usually called reckless. She danced like a silent melody between light and shadow, and an ominous waltz was approaching the unwitting technician bandits. Liang Minxuan floated over the toolbox placed on the ground, quietly pulled out a metal plate hand placed in the box, flashed into the black shadow in the blink of an eye, and kicked when he was still a few meters away from the bandits, flashing like a glimpse of the night. While our attention was still focused on the death dancer, the pathetic repairman collapsed at Liang's feet without even knowing how he had been attacked.

"He's dead?" To be honest, I was sincerely amazed that this young girl who looked weak and couldn't help but dance like a murderer was invisible.

"Whatever, let's go." Liang Minxuan shook her shoulders and motioned for me and Huang Weizheng to hide this tragic guy, and the two of us hurriedly did so.

As soon as he got into the car, he found the Type 95 rifle in the passenger seat, which was also looted from us, and fortunately there was a box of magazines next to it. When Lin Qu picked up the gun and turned it towards me, I was stunned in my heart, if at this time, this guy shot at us, not to mention me standing in front of him, even Huang Weizheng, who had a shotgun, would probably be caught off guard.

However, our new partner was not as evil as I thought, he smiled and handed me the gun, and said with a smile: "I haven't touched a gun yet, this should be your specialty, right?" ”

"Huh? Oh, that's right. I took the rifle, my chest was still beating violently, and when I looked back, Huang Weizheng behind me had just relaxed, and the gun I lifted was quietly put down.
