"What? Who died? Liao Zhuojun couldn't laugh this time.

"It should be Brother Kun...... Burned. Li Qin leaned against the wall and looked at me and said, "It's useless to hide here, we will disperse immediately after rushing in, there is a row of chairs in front of the door, no matter whether the other party will shoot or not, we must hide behind the chairs first." Got it? ”

"Hmmm......"

"There were twelve of them, and there were at least five of them with guns, but it was a lecture hall on the air, and we were in a higher position than them, and they were more concentrated. Be calm and decisive. Li Qin took a deep breath, "Rush!" ”

As soon as Li Qin kicked open the wooden door, gunfire immediately erupted in the lecture hall, and bullets hit the door panels and walls. We bent our waists, lowered our bodies, and immediately separated from the left and right and hid behind the chairs. Li Qin was alone on the right, and Liao Zhuojun and I were on the left. Upon discovering that the target did not appear, the converts immediately stopped firing.

Through the cracks in my chair, I saw the converts and the prophetesses of their faith gathered on the lecture stage. There are also four wooden stakes piled with firewood and combustibles on the stage, and Xie Tao and them are tied to the stakes. One of the stakes was still sparkling, and the charred corpse tied to it squeaked in white smoke. The other people tied to the stake were only Uncle Zhong, Xie Tao and Liu Yanjiang, and it was not difficult to guess that it should be Brother Kun who was burned to death.

Behind them was a large tree leaning against the wall, a lecture hall that had half collapsed, and the wooded street scene outside had become the landscape wall of this lecture hall, and many wandering mutants were approaching it in the distance. The stage was actually halfway down, and two crumbling helicopters hung from the ceiling overhead. But compared to the helicopter hanging overhead, this group of madmen on stage is more dangerous.

The converts did not see us fight back for a while after the ceasefire, and their guard was negligent, only to hear a gunshot, and Li Qin, who was hiding between the chairs, shot and wounded one of the converts. The man who fell to the ground after being shot covered his wounds in a panic and groaned, his companions quickly pulled him away, and the others subconsciously looked for cover to hide.

"They're behind the chairs!" One of the converts shouted.

The prophetess, who held a torch in her left hand and a dagger in her right hand, was not as eager to dodge as her followers, but she wisely stood behind the stake where Liu Yanjiang was bound, and shouted to us while keeping an eye on us for traces: "It seems that you will not give up your resistance until you see with your own eyes how we purify the outsiders who have offended the wrath of the gods." I'll count three times, and if you don't come out again, I'll purify this outsider!" ”

The prophetess's torch was already hanging in mid-air. Damn, do you want to see another companion burned alive? Liao Zhuojun and I both turned to look at Li Qin, and she happened to turn her head as well, but obviously she couldn't make up her mind.

"3......" The Prophetess began to count down, and I could hear her converts already weighing their weapons for our surprise attack.

"2......" I gritted my teeth and looked at Li Qin, but she could only lower her lips, looked back at the other side of the stage, and then looked back at us.

The prophetess's "2" was deliberately delayed for a long time, and the flame of the torch in her hand was blown by the wind and crackled irritably. She began to inhale and prepare to pronounce 1!

In desperation, I raised the gun out of the back of the chair and shouted, "I surrender!" Don't do it! ”

At first, I was worried that a convert would shoot and wound my hand stretching out of my chair, but it seems that the cultists did not have the certainty or courage to do so.

After about two seconds, the prophetess shouted, "All right, you stand up." ”

Liao Zhuojun kept shaking her head at me, but I could only give her a wry smile, and then slowly stood up. Upon seeing me, all the converts had an expression of disbelief on their faces. Only the prophetess still calmly walked out from behind Liu Yanjiang, she handed the torch to a convert, walked up to me and stretched out her hand to me and said, "It turns out that it is you, the first resurrected lord and the first person to betray the god of nature, come forward, let us free you together." ”

Oh my...... This is the obvious reason for me to go and give her her life. Naturally, my legs were reluctant to move, but now I have to go all the way to the end! I walked step by step to the stage, and just as I was about to walk on the stage, the prophetess suddenly realized something, and suddenly said, "You should be the only one, right, why don't you let those outsiders who have betrayed the will of God with you be purified together?" ”

A convert stepped forward and took my gun, and I was pushed before the prophetess, and everyone thought I would honestly persuade them to come out.

"Purification? To put it bluntly, it's to burn those who resist you! "I don't know where I got the courage to suddenly speak in front of so many muzzle blades with a higher voice than the prophetess. The prophetess was clearly overwhelmed by my sudden move, and the will of the converts around her wavered.

I seized this opportunity and continued to say to those who were looking forward to converting: "Don't be deceived by her! She has been using your fear of the virus to control you! Now that there is a way to control the epidemic, the threat of the virus is no longer there! A vaccine has been developed! Stop believing in her lies and rebuild your home with us! ”

Seeing that her followers were looking at her suspiciously, the prophetess, of course, had to find a way to regain her heart, and she hurried up to me to cut off eye contact between me and her followers as much as possible. "Don't listen to his nonsense! Look at him! The way he looks now is the result of God's punishment! He was a man who had been forsaken by God, no, a demon! ”

The dilemma converts seem to have forgotten that they have weapons in their hands, and they are more concerned about what is right between me and the prophetess. Just as I was about to open my mouth to argue, the prophetess cried out again: "Don't forget! How many times, how many times have people from the outside world said there was a way to help us, but in the end we haven't been abandoned again and again? It's me! I am the one who has given you the protection of the gods of nature! It is I who have made you no longer afraid of those abandoned ghosts, and have turned you from prey to hunters! ”

"She's lying to you, the vaccine has really been developed! We're here to save you this time! Xie Tao, who was tied to the pillar, suddenly interrupted the prophetess's words, and all the converts turned their eyes to him again, "I said just now, you just listened to this woman's lies, and now you are all sick!" If left untreated, you'll all become zombies! ”

"As you have just seen, the so-called vaccine in their mouth only kills plants, isn't that against God's will? If a medicine that can only bring death, how can it be a vaccine! The prophetess once again presented her arguments to convince the faithful, she raised the dagger in her hand, the blade of the dagger was still stained with a little yellow-green liquid, she used the dagger to cut off a weed growing on the stage, the blue-green blade of grass instantly turned yellow, "See! This is the devil's poison! ”

"Nope! This is a vaccine for plants, and it kills plants that have been infected with viruses! These diseased plants cause viral infection in humans......"

"Shut up!" The prophetess stopped Xie Tao's shouting, and she shouted in an extremely inflammatory tone, "Burn him!" Burn this demon's servant! ”

"Right...... Right! Burn him! The bald convert, who suddenly followed the prophetess and shouted, "Burn them!" ”

"Are you all crazy!"

"Burn him!"

"Unreasonable!" Seeing the prophetess pick up the torch again and walk towards Xie Tao, I angrily walked towards her, but suddenly, the bald converts stood in front of me.

The prophetess simply turned to face me with the big man beside her. She looked at me viciously, as if she had given me a final verdict, and said, "You are too clever to be too clever. ”

I was about to punch the prophetess when I suddenly felt a sharp pain under the collarbone in my left shoulder. I looked down and saw that the prophetess's dagger was already in my chest. The left side of my body lost sensation in a convulsion, and both legs lost strength at the same time. I knelt on the ground, Xie Tao and they yelled at me in panic, almost at this time, the distant gunshots rang out, and someone fell on the stage, it should have been Li Qin's shots, but I couldn't pay attention to the situation of other people anymore.

Except for hearing Xie Tao shouting at me over and over again, no one around me paid attention to me anymore. The buzzing in my ears continued for a while with the sound of gunfire, and by the time the sound was no longer dim, several converts were already standing beside me and were engaged in a shootout with Li Qin and the others. It seems that because the converts took me and Xie Tao as cover, Li Qin and Liao Zhuojun's counterattack was obviously unable to suppress this group of cultists.

My chest hurt, but the dagger was thrust from the top down, not enough to pierce my heart, and the burning pain didn't come from the wound, but from the medicine on the blade...... Lu Huaxiong's admonition to me rang in my ears again, and ironically, I was really scared now, even though I didn't think it was right at the time. Oh no, it really feels like it's going to be in trouble this time......

Before I knew it, the fear in me was gone, replaced by a furious rage. My limbs also regained their strength, and the pain in my chest died away from numbness. Although I knew what I would become if this situation continued, it was strange that I was still able to maintain a certain level of sanity, so to speak, I was harnessing an uncontrollable rage.

Within my reach was a convert, too busy restocking his ammunition to notice I was looking at him. I tried to rub my calf on the ground, and it was no problem, and I could move immediately. At this thought, I suddenly burst out and overwhelmed the poor convert, without anyone knowing what was happening. I pressed one knee on his chest, and my left hand was unable to move due to the injury, so I choked him by the throat with my right hand. The gunfire stopped, and everyone watched as I pulled the convert's trachea out of his neck with my own hands, like a savage ruffling a bundle of wires, and my hands were tightly tugging on the blood-dripping vibes of the agas pipe. The convert, struggling for a few seconds in fear and helplessness, died.

I turned to my feet, and the converts looked at me dumbfounded, none of them dared to do anything, not even their prophetess trembling and leaning against the pillar that bound the uncle. The bald convert's roar emboldened him, roaring and brandishing the machete in his hand and lunging towards me, but a gunshot rang out from the other side of the stand, and a bullet shot pierced his temple. The bald converts fell suddenly, and the remaining five or six converts were scattered in an instant. The prophetess also wanted to run away, but before she could take a step, I was caught. She immediately knelt on the ground and cried out for mercy in despair, not at all as solemn as she had just been. I'm not going to kill her, because she once said she was bitten by mutants, but she didn't die, which at least shows that it's not just a matter of luck. Still, I couldn't easily resist the bloodthirsty urge in my heart.

"Du Yuheng, stop!" Li Qin, who was in the stands behind, shouted, "Calm down! ”

I carried the prophetess's hand like a small antelope, and turned to look at Li Qin and Liao Zhuojun. "Rest assured...... I...... I'm not going to kill her...... She had been bitten by mutants, but ...... Still alive......"

"Are you alright?" Liao Zhuojun, who is usually most concerned about vaccines, seems to be more concerned about my situation at this time.

"That dagger was stained with plant vaccines...... So...... "I kept shivering and stammering.

Li Qin took the prophetess from me, and Liao Zhuojun hurriedly wanted to check the dagger inserted in my body, but I immediately stepped back and kept my distance from her and said, "No, no, no! Right now...... Leave me alone...... You go and save Xie Tao and them first. ”

Liao Zhuojun looked at me and said, "But it's ...... on you."

"Me! I'm fine...... "Of course this is self-deception, my face must be whiter than paper now, and beads of sweat the size of mung beans keep pouring out and dripping with blood droplets on the floor at my feet.

Liao Zhuojun had no choice but to go to Xie Tao first to untie them. Xie Tao: They didn't get close to me after they were safe, so they could only keep a distance of two or three meters and simply cared about me for a few words. It's a good thing that they found the sac on the edge of the stage, and the plant vaccine wasn't destroyed by them......

"We can use plant-based vaccines here." Liao Zhuojun walked to the edge of the back of the stage, looked at the cliff-like broken building and said, "There is a large pool below here, which should be connected to the waterhole outside, and they should be the source of water for the plants in this area." ”

"Are you sure that's it? This is the last plant-based vaccine of all. Li Qin asked as she tied the prophetess's hands with a rope.

"Not sure...... But that's all I can say. Liao Zhuojun smiled bitterly, "But you see, there are all zombie corpses below, and many of them are integrated with the plant soil." Based on our current experience and what we already know, this should be the case. ”

"I can only gamble." Xie Tao opened the jar containing the plant vaccine and took out a glass liner the size of a large mineral water product, and there was a timer device on the inner tank, which was probably a timer with a bomb inside. Xie Tao turned on the timer with our consent, and a three-minute countdown immediately appeared on it.

Xie Tao threw the inner tank into the pool water under the broken building, and plopped the inner tank into the water, everything can only depend on creation. Everyone was ready to leave, but at this time, Li Qin pushed the prophetess to Liao Zhuojun, took out a gun and walked in front of me. She pointed her gun at me and said coldly, "I'm sorry kid, I can't let you out alive." ”

"Stop!" Xie Tao just wanted to block in front of me, but the flying bullet had already hit me.

After I was shot, I was pushed by inertia and fell on the spot, but fortunately, Li Qin did not hit my vital point.

Seeing that Li Qin wanted to shoot again, Xie Tao hurriedly blocked in front of me and shouted: "Li Qin! You can't do this! ”

"This is the task Second Lieutenant Xie, you also received the same order, I know you can't do it, but don't stop me." Li Qin did not put down the gun.

"Xie Tao?"

"That's right, brother, I'm sorry...... Twice, I couldn't help myself......" Xie Tao turned around and said to me with a sad face.

"No...... I understand ......"

"Second Lieutenant Xie, what Du Yuheng has in his body is not a vaccine, as a carrier of the original virus, you should know that even the current vaccine cannot cure him. As long as he lives, this virus cannot be eradicated, and I will do this to give him the best ending. ”

"Maybe there is another way, Li Qin ......" Uncle Zhong tried to calm us all down in a calm tone, but the effect was not ideal.

"There's no way around it. What we received was an order directly from Hainan. This time, me, Xie Tao and Brother Kun all have this task. The three of us must have someone kill Du Yuheng. Li Qin unswervingly locked on me and Xie Tao in front of me.

She was right...... "Actually, when I left Wanxiang City, I felt that I would never be able to go back." And even if Li Qin doesn't do it, it is estimated that it will not be long before I will die of excessive blood loss, why bother to let Xie Tao involuntarily for me?

I staggered to Xie Tao's shoulder and stood up, patted him gently, and motioned for Xie Tao to step back, the only hope was that Li Qin could give me a good time. But at the moment when Xie Tao turned around, the gunshots suddenly rang out, but neither Xie Tao nor I were shot, but Li Qin's body was stained red.

We were all looking for the gunman, but it turned out to be the prophetess, who snatched the gun from Liao Zhuojun and was shooting at us indiscriminately as she tried to escape to a safe passage on the edge of the stage. The bullet she fired in a panic didn't hit the crosshairs, and just as she was almost running to the edge of the stage cliff, Xie Tao picked up the gun on the ground and hit her accurately. The prophetess lost her center of gravity after being shot, and fell off a cliff with one foot in the air. With a loud bang, the plant vaccine in the pool water under the cliff was successfully detonated, and a huge splash of water fell like a downpour on the entire stage.

Li Qin, who fell to the ground, was shot in the lungs, and she didn't have long to live, but even so, she never forgot to say: "Du Yuheng...... No...... Can't survive ......"

"Don't say that again." Xie Tao hugged Li Qin in her arms and said helplessly to this person who was both a comrade-in-arms and a contradictory advocate in her eyes.

"This ...... This is any ...... ...... "Li Qin lost his breath.

Everyone gathered around her, but I didn't dare to approach, not because I was afraid that they would kill me, but because I myself thought that I really shouldn't have walked out of this hall again......

With a loud rumbling sound, the already dilapidated lecture hall, and even the entire Great Hall, were crumbling. The thick trunks of the trees that had fallen to the side of the wall were turning yellow at an unexpected rate, and all the plants we could see in the lecture hall were withering, as if we were experiencing a magic show of autumn, with yellow leaves falling and precarious wall tiles collapsing.

"We succeeded?" Liao Zhuojun looked around and said in surprise, "We succeeded!" ”

Everyone embraced each other, but soon realized that time was running out and that they had to get out of this damn place immediately. Everyone hurriedly evacuated, and Xie Tao also stretched out his hand to me, and he wanted me to leave with them. But I can't.

"I've got to stay here ......"

"No, let's go out together!" Xie Tao was about to take a step forward when the wreckage of the helicopter hanging from the ceiling crashed into the cliff, the huge propeller blades smashed the fragile edge of the stage, and the floor beneath our feet was already in danger.

"There's no time!" Liao Zhuojun and Uncle Zhong have already started to run to the door.

"Let's go." I stepped back step by step, but fortunately Xie Tao didn't move forward, "This is your task." ”

"Brother Tao, let's go." Liu Yanjiang pulled Xie Tao.

Xie Tao was reluctantly followed by Liu Yanjiang, but he still looked at me and said guiltily: "Du Yuheng ......"

"It's fine!" I covered my wounds and shouted to him as he gradually moved away, "Tell Chen Mo and Huang Weizheng that I died like a hero!" ”

I watched Xie Tao and the others finally disappear at the door of the lecture hall, and until the last moment, I could hear him shouting "I will!" amid the huge collapse of the Great Hall. Definitely! ”

I didn't expect "Die like a hero" to be my last words...... I remember that since the outbreak of the crisis, I never wanted to be a hero, but selfishly ran for my life with the people around me. The withered vines on the ceiling were like slender silk still trying to hold on to the heavy floor, but to no avail, and a crack was torn out of the ceiling overhead, just enough for me to look up at the last glance at the sky that was not blue but had the same nostalgia for me. The wreckage of the second helicopter was about to fall, so I found a good position in the middle of the stand, leaned comfortably on the sofa table and chairs, sighed, and quietly admired the beautiful scenery of the earth.

The dense forest outside also began to change, as if the giant had knocked down the paint tray, the earthy yellow was spreading inexorably, and in the loud and piercing sound, the wreckage of the helicopter slowly fell, and I felt a refreshing feeling of being stirred by the wind and waves mixed with the splash of water. My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and I don't know if it was because of the clouds in the sky outside or because my life was about to die, and my vision was gradually darkened...... However, the refreshing wind made me feel more pleasure than I had ever felt before, and my heavy body was relieved at this moment. The cruel world in front of me is collapsing, and I won't take my eyes off. Is it a hallucination? A ray of sunlight shot through the cracks in the dark clouds, caressing my face warmly, and this may be the end of my life.

Ah, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief...... It's over......
