Chapter 39 Evil

“…… Du Yuheng? Huang Weizheng didn't care what Du Yuheng would become, he mustered up the courage to step forward, hoping that his friend would answer and tell him that it was all a joke. After all, only in this way can the guilt in his heart be alleviated.

But the truth certainly won't be what he thinks. After Du Yuheng heard Huang Weizheng's call, he seemed to consciously turn his head to look at him, but his eyes were more like an animal observing a human being, and he didn't feel any sense.

"Are you okay?" Huang Weizheng tried to ease the tense atmosphere, he slowly moved closer to Du Yuheng, "I'm Huang Weizheng, it's a cow." ”

"Niu ......" Du Yuheng squeezed out a word in pain, but immediately shook his head as if he was shaking off the consciousness that he was about to recover.

At this time, Chen Mo, who was beside Huang Weizheng, also stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Du Yuheng, I'm Chen Mo!" ”

Chen ...... Mo ......"

"That's right, Chen Mo."

Hearing Du Yuheng call out his name, Chen Mo just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly a gunshot rang out from behind him. An idiot was so nervous that the gun in his hand went off. Although it did not hurt anyone, the bullet hit the floor and flew elsewhere. Everyone lowered their bodies in horror, and the gunfire also angered Du Yuheng. Like a frightened and furious wolf, he rushed towards the flaming guy at a speed never before before in full view of everyone, and jumped up about three meters before he slammed him down.

Everyone was dumbfounded, watching Du Yuheng bite off the person's throat almost in a state of ignoring the other party's resistance, the splashed blood shot out like a splash of water bursting through the pipe, and the person's moans were quickly drowned in the blood surging up to him, and the helpless struggle finally turned into powerless convulsions.

"This ......" Huang Weizheng looked at this nightmare scene. Du Yuheng tore the man's throat, sucked a few mouthfuls of blood, and then stood up again to find the next target.

Everyone immediately dispersed, and at this time, Du Yuheng locked his eyes on the body of another scavenger, and as soon as he pulled his legs, Zhang Xing shouted and shot. Hearing the sound of gunfire, Huang Weizheng instinctively pressed Chen Mo under him and lay on the ground to avoid being hit by stray bullets. I don't know why the sudden panic in his heart made him dare not open his eyes, maybe it was because he didn't want to see Du Yuheng being shot to death. But he couldn't do that, he had to see it. Although all this is not because of Huang Weizheng, he is also responsible to bear it.

I don't know who broke the only tube hanging line on the ceiling of this area, only the last chain hanging lamp swayed back and forth, and the light flickered and shimmered, and the fire from the muzzle of the gun flickered incessantly, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and from time to time there were the wails and roars of others. Until someone shouted, "That guy ran away." The gunfire gradually stopped.

The reinforcements brought emergency lights, and the scene where the lighting was restored was a mess, in addition to the first person Du Yuheng bit to death just now, two people died tragically, and the other three people were injured by their own people. Some people say that Du Yuheng was slashed with a knife, but there was no blood stain left by him when he fled at the scene. Although they had palpitations, Huang Weizheng and Chen Mo were secretly glad that they didn't see Du Yuheng's body. But what do they do next?

"Block the road to the residential area, quick!" Zhang Xing didn't care about the situation of the wounded and directly ordered his subordinates, "Catch the ones alive, don't sound the alarm." ”

"Don't pull the alarm?" Zhang Xiaoying was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that Du Yuheng will cause more trouble after entering the residential area?" ”

"Alerts will cause more trouble." Zhang Xing asked Liu Yijing to let Zhang Xiaoying go, and then looked at the injured Huang Weizheng, "You take Huang Weizheng to the infirmary first, and that Du Yuheng will be handed over to us to deal with." ”

"No!" After Huang Weizheng heard Zhang Xing's words, he quickly stood up with the help of Chen Mo, walked in front of Zhang Xing and said, "We are also going to find Du Yuheng." ”

"He's not Du Yuheng anymore." Zhang Xing corrected, "You also saw just now, we have already killed and injured people, what do you want?" ”

"There is still hope ......"

"No, there's no hope!" Zhang Xing roared angrily, "If it weren't for that guy being the key to developing a vaccine, I would definitely be the first to kill him." Zhang Xing's warning was equivalent to prohibiting Huang Weizheng from any request, he turned around and pointed at Yang Shanao and said angrily, "And you!" This is my territory, and if what you just gave that guy prevents me from researching a vaccine, I swear I'll throw you and your henchmen into the forest to make snacks for those monsters! I don't care who the you are......"

Zhang Xing left angrily under the protection of his men, and his angry curses continued to come from the aisle. There were only a few guards left in the maintenance room who cleaned up the scene and Huang Weizheng and others who were at a loss. Xie Tao and Ban Zhiyu were also released, and at this time, no one was willing to care about their hostility just now, and chasing Du Yuheng became the top priority of the scavengers.

"What did you call Du Yuheng just now!" Xie Tao stopped Yang Shanao and Li Qin, who were about to leave, "Why did he suddenly become like this!" ”

"That's the latest experimental vaccine I brought from Hainan......"

"Is that the medicine that can cure infected plants, but can be fatal to mutants?" Chen Mo remembered the introduction that Yang Shanao gave him with the vaccine, and she said fearfully, "That may kill Du Yuheng!" ”

"But it's also possible to cure him, isn't it?" Yang Shanao defended, "He is not a mutant, and he tried to attack others just now, the others have lethal weapons such as knives and guns, only mine is a non-lethal weapon, I stopped his attack and it is possible to cure him, did I do something wrong?" ”

Although Yang Shanao said the truth, he was not recognized by others, and even Li Qin, who was beside him, did not have the urge to support him.

"But ......"

"Forget it, Chen Mo." Xie Tao pulled the excited Chen Mo back to him, shook his head and despised Yang Shanao, "This person is full of righteousness, but in fact he is just a selfish villain." Let's go. ”

"But ......"

"You take Huang Weizheng to deal with the wound first." Xie Tao glanced at Huang Weizheng, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and sighed and said, "Zhang Xiaoying and Ban Zhiyu and I went to find Du Yuheng." Speaking of this, he walked up to Huang Weizheng and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll bring Du Yuheng back." I know you had a holiday with him before, and you need to make it clear to him personally. ”

"Thank you......" Huang Weizheng couldn't make more expressions, because most of the areas of his face were already swollen, so he could only grin the corners of his mouth and thank Xie Tao.

"Do you want to call Liang Minxuan, she is in room 53 on the second floor with Long Hao and Wei Liqin." Ban Zhiyu suddenly thought of Long Hao and Liang Minxuan, who had been cultivating in Wanxiang during this time, "If such a big thing happens, I think they may be able to help." ”

"They're in Wanxiang City?"

"Yes, after the fall of Qingshan a few days ago, Huang Weizheng brought them." Ban Zhiyu explained to Chen Mo, "Long Hao's body has basically recovered, and we have installed a retractable dagger for him. ”

Chen Mo only remembered at this time that Long Hao's left hand was injured; What Ban Zhiyu said is probably Long Hao's prosthetic. "Call them, it's easier to find them when there's a lot of people."

"So where are we going to look, and what are we going to do if we find him?"

Ban Zhiyu raised a rather realistic question, Zhang Xiaoying just helped Chen Mo to help Huang Weizheng stand firmly, snapped his fingers and said: "I remember that this shopping mall has many underground floors, if Zhang Xing sent someone to block the road leading to the upstairs security area, then the area leading to the next floor should not be noticed." Although Du Yuheng lost his mind just now, I think he still has a certain IQ, and according to the habits of beasts, they should avoid crowds and hide in areas with fewer people. ”

"Yes, it seems that there are several floors down there, but I haven't seen anyone in Wanxiang City go to the lower levels." Xie Tao checked the equipment in his hand, "Do you know how to go down?" ”

"Well, the passage to the underground garage was sealed in the past, but I've seen people enter through the emergency exit in the underground parking lot." Zhang Xiaoying thought for a while and said, "But it seems that there are people guarding that place." ”

"Let's go there first, if the guards are still there, it means that Du Yuheng didn't go there." Xie Tao picked up his gun, and he glanced at Ban Zhiyu as he got ready, "Ban Zhiyu will go to Liang Minxuan and them first, and then a few of you will look for them at this floor and a few exits in the residential area, maybe you can find Du Yuheng before Zhang Xing's people." ”

"Okay."

Ban Zhiyu nodded and was about to leave, but Xie Tao suddenly stopped him. "By the way, do you remember my net gun?"

"Oh, remember, you seem to have it in your room."

"yes, take that with you." Xie Tao smiled, and Ban Zhiyu understood. In the days of rushing, the two of them have formed a tacit understanding with each other. Seeing that the others didn't seem to understand, Xie Tao briefly explained again, "That thing is the net gun we used to catch animals in the past. ”

"You still have this kind of thing?"

"On the way to Nanning, you always have to pick up some game." Xie Tao smiled nostalgic for eating hot game barbecue, "Let's go." ”

"Well, then be careful." Chen Mo hugged Huang Weizheng and walked towards the staircase.

"Don't worry."

Huang Weizheng didn't speak, he didn't expect that he couldn't help at this moment, he was embarrassed and helpless, but before leaving, he and Zhang Xiaoying looked at each other tacitly. This is the most common way they say goodbye when they are separated, there are no intimate words, only trusting eyes.

Wanxiang City's maintenance room is much more spacious than Qingshan's, after all, it was originally a large shopping mall, and if Zhang Xiaoying remembers correctly, the basement here should be four or five stories deep, and each floor is at least two football fields the size. The basement floor, which is usually used as a maintenance room, is only the first floor of the underground parking lot. In addition to parking vehicles, the power distribution room, the main facility of Wanxiang City, is also located here, and some heavy tools and supplies that have just been collected and have not yet been distributed are stored.

Zhang Xiaoying and Xie Tao took a preliminary look at the areas along the main area one after the other, but found no trace of Du Yuheng. Most of the vehicles parked here are vans and SUVs, so it also shortens their line of sight. From time to time, the shouts and footsteps of the guards can be heard, and there are also people shuttling between cars. The door to the outside world was also closed at this time, and five or six guards were stationed, and the passage leading to the upper floor was also guarded, and they were all loaded with guns, not at all like Zhang Xing said that he wanted to capture Du Yuheng alive.

As Zhang Xiaoying and Xie Tao left the busiest area of the maintenance room, the number of people around them gradually decreased, and the equipment placed on the table began to become sporadic and low, most of which were cargo boxes and buckets. You can see the neighborhood at a glance without much effort. The shouts of the people became more and more ethereal, and finally the echoes were basically chaotic.

Zhang Xiaoying didn't bring her bow and arrows, but just took a slightly longer dagger; In addition to the small dagger she had just taught the hooligan to throw, she now had two daggers on her body, and while these cold weapons might be a bit of a disadvantage against enemies who wield guns, they were definitely the ideal weapon against mutants. It's just that Zhang Xiaoying herself understands that what she has to face is not a mutant but an out-of-control Du Yuheng.

In order to save electricity, the lighting in the maintenance room is basically an external lamp in a large area, so the indoor light is not strong, and even a little dim. When they arrived in the area where the usage rate is less, most of the external lights were not turned on, and Xie Tao and Zhang Xiaoying just walked through an area and found that it was pitch black ahead. Standing in front of the darkness, they all hesitated. The cold wind blowing from the darkness makes people shiver, and the cold in the air does not seem to come from the human world. You can barely see that there is an exit ahead, but the light at the exit seems to be malfunctioning, and the contact is not good and it keeps flashing.

"Strange," Zhang Xiaoying walked back and forth in front of the boundary between light and shadow, trying to see the darkness in front of her, "I remember the last time I was here, there was a light in this part. ”

"Is it that someone was working at that time, so the lights were on."

"I didn't see anyone along the road, and the lights were on, so why is it not here?"

Xie Tao thought about it carefully and felt that what Zhang Xiaoying said made sense, he looked up at the lamp; The lamps appear to be in good condition. "Where's the switch?"

"I remember that there was a part of the lighting at the entrance and exit of each area." Zhang Xiaoying checked the wall and found no consoles such as switches.

"Well, it looks like we're just going to have to run to that exit." Xie Tao gasped and said with a wry smile, "Huhu, are you afraid of the dark?" ”

"Afraid of the dark? Are you afraid? Zhang Xiaoying did not answer Xie Tao's question positively, but judging from her anxious appearance, the answer was already clear, "This is not a question of whether it is black or not." I think that's a clear trap. ”

Xie Tao also wanted to tease this girl who seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, but before he could speak, there was an unusual sound in front of him. If they listen carefully, they will see that someone seems to be banging on the door. The slapping was not very strong, as intermittent as if a frail old man was knocking on the door.

"Did you hear that?" Xie Tao frowned and asked.

"Well, it looks like there's a knock on the door." After making sure that she heard correctly, Zhang Xiaoying stretched her neck to look at the flickering and dim exit of the light, and there was indeed a double door that was pulled by a horizontal bolt.

The two of them had no choice but to cheer themselves up, and rushed into the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers. The light in front of her seemed to be swallowed up in an instant, Zhang Xiaoying felt as if she had been thrown into a big black sack, and the shadows barely illuminated by the faint light behind her became thicker and thicker, and the predictable objects also decreased. They could only get closer to the exit by feeling, and there was a red indicator light on the top of the door that said emergency exit, and the faint red light made the surroundings clearer but also more unsettling.

There was a fresh trail of blood on the wall next to the door, which did not bode well, and the growing blood was like an adrenaline boost to their nerves. There was also a person next to the door who was leaning against the door frame, he was shot in the abdomen, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoying, he also lost consciousness, and the hand attached to the door slid down and left a blood mark. Zhang Xiaoying and Xie Tao just wanted to speed up, but Zhang Xiaoying seemed to have tripped over something, Xie Tao ran to the wounded first, he straightened the lamp, and was about to check the injury, when Zhang Xiaoying behind him screamed so frightened that he hurriedly turned back.

Xie Tao thought that Zhang Xiaoying had been attacked, but she was safe and sound, and the terrible thing was that she fell next to a bloody corpse. The corpse still maintained the terrified and desperate expression before it was killed, its empty eyes staring creepily ahead, its neck had been bitten off, only a bit of flesh on its neck was barely attached, and its right hand had been bitten off and fell to the side, still clutching an earthen gun.

Zhang Xiaoying was not frightened, but she kept looking at the person on the other side of the corpse. He sat slumped in a pool of blood, staring stiffly at his bright red hands, his bloody mouth kept open. Those yellow eyes did not have the beastly nature just now, but were full of shock and sadness, the emerald green eyes trembled in tears, and the same bloody body seemed to be the ruins of the castle after the collapse of the castle, as long as it was gently pushed, it could fall down in an instant.

"Oh no......" Xie Tao just wanted to step forward, but suddenly vigilantly restrained his impulse, because at this moment, the danger did not seem to be eliminated.

Zhang Xiaoying hesitated for a long time, feeling that Du Yuheng didn't seem to have any tendency to attack, so she restrained her body's resistance and asked tentatively, "...... Du Yuheng?"

Du Yuheng didn't react, Zhang Xiaoying decided to reach out and get closer to his shoulder a little bit; Xie Tao froze in place, his fingers were already on the trigger, if necessary, he might shoot, but he was not completely sure in his heart not to hit Du Yuheng's vital point.

"Du Yuheng?"

As soon as Zhang Xiaoying touched his shoulder, she saw him shrug up like an electric shock, and turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaoying in despair. "I ...... What did I do? ”

Zhang Xiaoying just wanted to explain to Du Yuheng, but before she could open her mouth, Du Yuheng spit out the contents of her stomach in one go, sobbing in pain and embarrassment while spitting him. Everything that tumbled in the stomach spat in a pool of blood, and the sin melted into the blood. Although they felt uncomfortable, Zhang Xiaoying and Xie Tao were still relieved.

They dragged Du Yuheng, whose legs were weak, to the side with better light, but Du Yuheng's attention was still focused on his bright red hands. The dried blood had begun to blacken, and the color of death seemed to engulf his soul. Seeing this, Xie Tao hurriedly put down the gun, took off his coat and tried hard to help Du Yuheng wipe the blood on his hands and face, but no matter what he did, he couldn't wipe off the blood soaked in sin in Du Yuheng's heart.
