Chapter 2 Rainfall

Are you going to die? At this moment, I could hear the ghostly moans of the boy in front of me as his jaws opened. When all thoughts were lost, a thunderclap shattered all despair. I opened my eyes in surprise to find the boy lying on the ground again as a corpse, thick plasma trickling out of the hole in his head, and it seemed that this time he would never get up again.

"Are you alright?" Huang Weizheng, who trotted to my side, looked around with a solemn and vigilant expression, "How about it, is there any way to get out of here?" ”

I looked around and saw that Liang Minyu and the others had long since disappeared, leaving only the two of us surrounded by the living dead. Among the faltering zombies, a special figure caught my attention, its bloated body had burst the worn-out plum-red driver's uniform, its body was covered with moss-like spots, and its swollen head was like a huge sarcoma, and its eyes and nose were completely indistinguishable except for the large bloody mouth that was two or three times larger than the original. The monster moved more slowly than the other zombies, and didn't seem to be as lethal as its ugly appearance, but the yellow-green smoke emitted by the countless pores on his sarcoma head after a few rounds of retraction was unsettling.

"Wow, don't give us this special treatment just because we have a gun." I pointed at the sarcoma monster with my chin, like I saw a jerk that was making me unhappy, and deliberately tried to hide the fear in my heart with a more vicious tone, "See that guy?" ”

"Huh, the ugliest one?"

"yes, I think he's the leader of these zombies or something." As soon as I finished speaking, the sarcoma monster stood there and twitched again, spewing a hairy yellow smoke into its surroundings.

Huang Weizheng shot and killed a zombie closest to us, glanced at the sarcoma monster moving slowly in the distance, and proposed, "Then you try to kill him?" ”

"Try it!" With that, I glanced at Huang Weizheng and asked him to provide cover, and then focused on aiming at the ugly monster, hoping to kill him with one blow.

I didn't get my way, though, the first bullet just hit the guy in the chest and didn't go through his head as I thought, and it didn't seem to be very powerful, but the recoil of the pistol pushed me to hurt my forearms and shoulders. Despite this, the effect we would have liked to see was achieved. After being hit, although it did not cause fatal damage, the monster fell to one knee on the ground to gasp for breath due to the severe pain, and the other zombies were stunned at first, and then suddenly accelerated their pace and rushed towards us in unison.

"It's a bad idea." I laughed at myself and pushed Huang Weizheng's shoulder to signal to run away, "Let's go!" ”

The two of us were like two agents behind enemy lines trying to break through the enemy's roundup, finding the weak point in the encirclement as fast as we could, and sprinting forward faster than we had ever done before. Although the zombies on both sides move slowly, they have an absolute advantage in numbers. We took three steps, one shot, ten steps and one kick, barely able to withstand wave after wave of zombies.

The encirclement of zombies was finally torn apart by me and Huang Weizheng, and the bullets of the three magazines were also given to those "lucky" zombies as our meeting gifts. Running on the road, we are like freed prisoners, and we don't forget to turn back and make sure that the distance between us and the zombies is gradually widening. It wasn't until a sudden downpour of rain followed by a thunderclap that we decided to slow down.

The dense rain curtain was like a curtain pulled up on the stage so that we couldn't see the road behind us clearly, and after being sure that those zombies should not catch up with us, Huang Weizheng and I stood on the empty road as if relieved, gasping for breath. We didn't have the energy or the other difficulties to think about for the time being, what was separated from other people, the source of the virus or how many disgusting zombies we would see, and so on, but we finally decided to celebrate this thrilling victory with hearty laughter. After a headless giggle, we both decided to move on to the troubles that followed. The rain slowed down as much as our footsteps, and we walked together on the road where we couldn't see the end.

"What do we do next?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know ......," I said as I counted the bullets in my magazine, "Let's walk like this first, anyway, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, didn't you just do that." ”

"Are you sure we're going in the same direction as Liang Minxuan and the others?" Huang Weizheng glanced back and asked.

"Absolutely, yes."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm." I impatiently pointed to two cars with twin flashing lights parked not far in front of us, and I could vaguely see a boy curled up in the back door of one of the red cars, holding an unconscious girl shivering in the rain.

"He was the first one to denounce you."

"yes, let's go, let's go see what's going on."

The boy didn't have any intention of attacking us, he looked at me and Huang Weizheng with wide eyes and grievances, pointed to a corpse lying next to Sheng, and sobbed intermittently: "I...... I killed him......"

"Okay, congratulations on you're just like me."

Huang Weizheng rubbed his foot at the boy and said to the boy in a slightly gentle tone: "You did what you had to do, otherwise you wouldn't have had the opportunity to say this here." ”

Unlike the magnanimous Huang Weizheng, I am not in the mood to comfort a guy who almost made me the target of criticism not long ago, not to mention that I don't know this weak guy at all. On the contrary, I thought the girl in his arms was a little familiar.

"Chen Mo?" I squatted down and carefully looked at the girl's face, and sure enough, it was really the silly girl, "Chen Mo, are you okay?" ”

Hearing me shout, Huang Weizheng also noticed the unconscious Chen Mo. "Hey! It's really Chen Mo! What's wrong with her? ”

"She's fine......"

"Nonsense! Of course she's fine! Otherwise, you look good! Impulsively, I snatched Chen Mo from the boy's arms and anxiously called her name with Huang Weizheng, but Chen Mo still didn't wake up.

"Just now when she was running away, she fell...... I just fainted, and my body is fine......"

The boy's intermittent explanations did not stop me, but rather made me feel even more displeased. "And you know she's okay? It's okay, why can't you wake up? ”

"My dad is a doctor, and he taught me some simple medical knowledge......" the boy sobbed like a child scared to tears.

Seeing his aggrieved appearance, I didn't have the heart to say anything more, but I just patted Chen Mo's cheek again with luck, of course, the result can be imagined.

"What about the others?" Perhaps in order to prevent me from complaining anymore, Huang Weizheng deliberately changed the topic and asked the boy, "Didn't you escape with Liang Minxuan and them just now?" ”

"Yes...... But it wasn't long before we ran into another group of zombies around here......"

"What! What happened to Liang Minxuan and them? ”

My blunt words interrupted the boy's words again, and Huang Weizheng immediately snorted and warned me to keep my mouth shut, and the boy continued: "Those friends of yours are fine, although the fat man twisted his foot. ”

I guess the fat man in the boy's mouth must be referring to the smug Wei Liqin, who usually walks with a broken foot, let alone this extraordinary moment.

"We don't have any weapons against the zombies, your friend and a few people started a van and ran forward, and the few of us who were scattered had to flee for their lives, and this girl fell in a panic at that time."

"Well, let's not talk about that much yet." Huang Weizheng smiled and stretched out his hand to the boy to help him up, "It's getting dark, and the rain hasn't stopped, let's spend the night in this car." ”

I glanced at the red Buick sedan behind the boy, and it looked like it was quite spacious and the car should be fine, so I nodded in agreement.

Chen Mo is about 1.65 meters tall, and her figure looks quite well-proportioned, but I didn't expect her weight to be quite weighty, and carrying her into the car is a manual job, which took me a lot of effort. The cautious Huang Weizheng still started the car to make sure that everything was normal, but it was dangerous to move forward blindly in the dark, so we still turned off the engine, locked the door and waited for the next day.

The windows of this Buick sedan are pasted with one-way black sunscreen diaphragm, making it difficult to see the situation inside the car from the outside, and Huang Weizheng is also sitting in the driver's seat, ready to start the car in an emergency, and can take us to escape as quickly as possible. But he still stated in advance that he could not guarantee that he would be able to drive well, because he only drove according to what he used to do when he watched his father drive. It's a bit unsafe, and we don't have a choice, if it were me, I guess even the accelerator and brake would be wrong...... To be on the safe side, we closed the windows, the roof on the roof was our best ventilation outlet, but we only opened a two-finger-wide slit just in case.

It's getting late, and the red sunset after the rain seems to comfort the dead souls stretching across the sky. The darkness crept in on us, the intermittent sound of the wind occasionally interrupted the dead silence of the night, the raindrops that remained on the car windows slipped down one by one, and we were tired like bait trapped in a cage waiting for the beast to approach. I used the only two cushions in the car to make Chen Mo lie on the side of the back seat as comfortably as possible, and I sat on the other side while watching the movement outside the car while waiting for her to wake up, while the boy in the front passenger seat leaned on the seat silently and stared out the window into the darkness. The world has fallen into a deep sleep after losing the noise of human beings, and we in the car are actually no different from the situation outside the car.

I don't know how long we have been trapped in this narrow carriage, Huang Weizheng, who is not good at words on weekdays, really couldn't help being lonely, and actually took the initiative to open the conversation box and asked the boy next to him: "Hey, by the way, you haven't told us your name yet?" In the future, we will have to share weal and woe, and I can't remember the name. ”

"Ban Zhiyu ......"

"My name is Huang Weizheng." After that, Huang Weizheng also took the initiative to shake hands with Ban Zhiyu to express friendship, "The one in the back row is my friend, called ......"

"You don't need to introduce me." I impatiently interrupted Huang Weizheng's introduction to me, and I didn't even move my dull gaze at all.

"His name is Du Yuheng, and he is a straightforward guy." My disdain didn't make Huang Weizheng feel any embarrassment, even as if I never interrupted his introduction, "You may have been a little conflicted before, but don't worry, he is a little bit of a child temper sometimes, and it will be fine after a while." ”

"I didn't say that." Sitting right behind Huang Weizheng, I pouted and kicked the back of his seat in protest, "You haven't experienced that kind of feeling. ”

"It's all a misunderstanding." Huang Weizheng waved his hand at me in the back row to express sympathy, "Besides, he also saved Chen Mo, didn't he?" ”

"Cut, I'll just talk about things......" The rain-soaked clothes stuck to my skin, making me so uncomfortable that I didn't have the slightest interest in talking about anything, and after whispering a grumble, I decided that it would be better to keep my mouth shut.

In fact, since the day we met, I have never quarreled with Huang Weizheng, no matter what the topic will end in my defeat, it's not that I can't fight him, but his good old temper makes me really unable to find a reason to continue arguing.

Huang Weizheng turned his head and smiled at me, and I just glanced at him with ignorance, so he continued to continue to Ban Zhiyu, who looked slightly smiling: "You said before that Liang Minxuan and the others found a car and escaped those zombies, right? ”

"Well, if they follow this direction, they should be able to reach Tianyang." Since the highways across the country were strictly controlled after martial law, the teacher arranged for our bus to choose to take the national highway instead of the highway to return to Nanning, but the safety of this route was not as reliable as we thought. Tianyang is a small county town between Baise and Nanning, so it can be said that if we have not arrived in Tianyang, it means that we have not completely left the city of Baise at all.

"Then let's go to Tianyang, maybe we can meet them tomorrow." Speaking of this, Huang Weizheng looked back at my face again; In my opinion, his estimate is reasonable, so I will pull the corners of my mouth and use the simplest way to express my approval.

"Where is this?" I turned my head to look and found that Chen Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes as if he had just slept for a long time, and slowly helped him up, "I'm ......"

Before Chen Mo finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned when he saw my surprised face, and after the two of us looked at each other for a few seconds, he suddenly opened his teeth and claws in a panic and shouted: "Du Du Du...... Du Yuheng! Yes! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Today you are in trouble, and I did not come forward...... Yes! I'm sorry! ”

I didn't plan to blame Chen Mo, of course, this is not because I have a broad mind like Huang Weizheng, but because I ...... I didn't even think of her existence at the time, but since she was so apologetic, I gladly accepted it. "It's okay, it's okay, you're thinking too much!"

"Looks like you're in good shape, and you're still in good spirits."

"Actually, I'm a little dizzy...... Yes! Huang Weizheng, you are also there! Great, I heard that you two didn't run out with us, and I'm scared to death! After making sure that Huang Weizheng and I were okay, Chen Mo put his right hand on his chest and let out a long breath like the big stone in his heart had finally fallen.

"Are you alright? So the excitement will not tire you to death. I crooked my mouth and smirked.

"What! You don't know that then we met the living dead......"

"Then you and Liang Minxuan got separated, and you fell and fainted." I deliberately interrupted Chen Mo's rambling speech, and continued to say before she came back to her senses, "We also know that Liang Minxuan and the others are probably going in the direction of Tianyang." ”

"You all know it......"

"This man saved you." Huang Weizheng smiled and nodded at Ban Zhiyu with his chin, "His name is Ban Zhiyu, and thanks to him after you passed out, you didn't become a zombie." ”

"Oh, thank you. Hey, you're not ......" Chen Mo's words came to an abrupt end, and from time to time she glanced at my reaction, and I naturally knew her concerns. Ban Zhiyu also laughed playfully, as if he was ready to answer the sensitive question that Chen Mo would say.

"Lots of nonsense." Taking advantage of the fact that the atmosphere had not changed back to the previous embarrassment again, I hurriedly stopped the stupid question that Chen Mo had not yet raised, "Hurry up and see if you are still uncomfortable, we have to rush tomorrow!" ”

Chen Mo did a cursory self-examination, and his clothes were a little messy, and the bruises on his head had not yet dissipated, so there should be no major problems. She looked at her hands and feet again, and after making sure that there were no scratches and bites, she pouted and said, "Probably not...... In addition to being a little stuffy, there is also the smell of Du Yuheng's sweat. ”

"Holy!"

"Shh The scolding fight between me and Chen Mo was just about to start, when Huang Weizheng suddenly asked us to shut up unusually. He stared at the darkness outside the back window, and said in a low tone, "There's movement outside." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, we all immediately felt that something had hit our car, and the impact of the impact was not great, but more like something was rubbing against our car, and there was more than one...... We all nervously lowered our bodies and stared intently out the window. Rickety figures moved slowly out of the car window one after another, and the trouble we didn't want to encounter came to the door.

"It's zombie ......," I looked around, and outside the car window, a large number of zombies came out of the woods on the side of the road, staggering across the road we were on, "a lot." ”

"They shouldn't know we're here yet." After observing for a moment, Ban Zhiyu said, "Let's just wait for them to walk over." ”

Ban Zhiyu is right, not to mention that we can temporarily keep ourselves safe by locking ourselves in the car. But just when we were comforting ourselves and wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a creepy bloody face slammed into the window on Chen Mo's side, and a pair of eyes like the eyes of the god of death stared at us in the car window.

The frightened Chen Mo couldn't suppress the fear in her heart, and was about to scream, but fortunately, I covered her mouth with my left hand in time, so that no zombies outside the window found us. However, it still refused to move away, staring at us motionless as if it knew we were hiding in the car. Looking at the miserable white face of Chen Mo, who was not possessed by the soul, and then at the hideous face attached to the window, I restrained the same tremor in my heart, pointed the direction outside the window with my right index finger, and then stood in front to signal her to calm down.

Chen Mo nodded, and I gently let go of my left hand with some unease. As soon as my hand relaxed a little, Chen Mo suddenly threw himself forward, hugged me tightly and trembled. The classmates who tease each other on weekdays suddenly trembled fragily in front of me, and I didn't know what to do for a while, but I was secretly glad that she didn't shout.

Chen Mo's big movement made the whole car shake slightly. Huang Weizheng, who had been staring out the window, wanted to turn around and warn me, but found that this was an inexplicable scene. Seeing this, I hurriedly raised my hands and gently swayed them in the air to show that I didn't think anything wrong, but Huang Weizheng just put on a bad smile of understanding. At about the same time, Ban Zhiyu also turned around to find out, and when he saw me waving his fist at him with a fierce face, he quickly turned his head and pretended not to see anything. I don't know if it was because of the shaking of the car or other unknown reasons, the zombie by the window finally decided to leave. After another half an hour, the zombies wandering around the car finally disappeared completely into the night.

"Uh...... "I tried to move my stiff back and said in a normal voice," Chen Mo ......said, "They're gone." ”

Chen Mo still refused to let go, didn't even open his eyes, and asked in a sobbing voice, "Really?" ”

"Really......" I sighed, "didn't you just dislike me for smelling of sweat?" ”

After noticing that the atmosphere around her had changed somewhat, Chen Mo tried to glance at the window behind her, and sure enough, there was only a trace of sticky blood left, so she immediately recovered her spirit again and pushed me away and hid on the side and said in disgust: "Just ...... That's it! I hate it! ”
