"There are showers in the sun, and according to this wind speed, it is estimated that the cloud will drift over us in about two hours." It is rare for Wei Hong to speak, but what comes out is this kind of professional estimate that I don't understand, "Spring and winter change, the weather in Nanning is complicated, and there may be heavy rain." ”

"He's right, let's do it." The captain frowned solemnly, and we also understood that time was pressing, so we left laziness and accelerated the speed of disassembly and handling.

Don't look at the few of us who are lax and casual on weekdays, when it comes to the critical moment, everyone will be engrossed in the state and act seriously. We took turns disassembling and transporting them back and forth in groups of three, and after a while, there were only two or three solar panels left on the rooftop. At this time, the dark clouds were close at hand, shuttling through the empty campus with a damp smell of the wind whirring, and Chen Mo's long hair was already floating, so that she had to brush her messy hair from time to time. There was a faint sound of people wandering around the campus and rummaging around with various equipment, and at the same time, mutants gradually appeared on the school road, although their steps were not as fast as I expected, but they were no different from the speed of normal walking.

For safety reasons, the captain decided that we would remove a piece of battery board together and get into the car and leave. This is a fairly correct decision, and it would be unwise to split up at this time, and we could have more people to take care of if we were to act together. In fact, the journey back and forth between the rooftop and the truck was not too threatening, but the only thing that disturbed me was the locked wooden double doors in the stairwells on each floor, especially the door on the third floor, which was not only tightly closed, but also stuck in the two ring handles with wooden sticks, as if someone had to do it to escape the pursuit of monsters such as mutants. Every time I pass by there, I keep an eye on it, although I don't notice anything unusual when I go back and forth a few times. There's no time to think about it right now, leaving as soon as possible is key.

In the blink of an eye, we were already descending from the seven-story rooftop, and we were still a few steps to the third floor. The captain and Long Hao were responsible for stabilizing the battery board below us, Wei Hong held the battery board above the lighter force to prevent it from slipping, and Chen Mo and I were on guard at both ends of the team. In order to better understand the situation ahead, I went down a few more steps, and on the steps between the third and second floors, I watched the progress of their transportation and the situation downstairs.

Looking down, the guardrail downstairs is unobstructed, and there are no strange shadows or strange sounds; Looking at the top, the captain and they are about to come to the stairwell on the third floor, it won't be long before we can go to the first floor, and the first thing I should pay attention to at that time is the safety of the staircase on the first floor, there is still a long way to go to the truck, and this is also the stage when it is very easy to be surrounded by mutants.

I was still secretly planning how to complete the escort mission when I got to the first floor, but what I had been worrying about happened anyway. There was a sudden noisy and panicked cry behind me, and the battery board was like a broken cone, pushing the captain and Long Hao unstoppably towards the wooden door of the stairwell on the third floor, fortunately, they were not far from the stairwell, only two or three steps, but the moment they both slammed the door with the battery board, I realized that this blow might hurt them a lot.

The double doors were smashed open like foam boards under this impact, and as soon as the doors opened, there was an airy open hallway, and the light from the outside world flickered by, and suddenly I heard that eerie, unsettling howl coming from the howling wind. Sure enough, the two mutants were like killers who had been waiting for us for a long time behind the door and rolled out of the staircase with the battery board and fell under the door, and then naturally it opened its mouth to bite them.

The panicked Chen Mo didn't know what to do, but Wei Hong and I reacted quickly, selected targets respectively, and killed the two mutants. I thought that this was the end of the matter, but who knew that there was another mutant in the corner of the corridor next to Long Hao who was also the blind spot of Wei Hong's vision and me! This mutant and Long Hao were simply sitting side by side, and when Long Hao found out, this bastard was already ready to pounce on him, and Wei Hong and I didn't have time to react at all, and we saw that the mutant's rotten mouth was almost close to Long Hao's pale face. At this time, Long Hao's strong desire to survive instantly overtook his reason, and his hands were desperately blocking in front of his head as the key point of his body at this moment!

This block did save Long Hao's head from a fatal blow, but the mutant bit his left hand tightly, and it should be said that half of his left palm was bitten in his mouth. Long Hao suddenly felt a sharp pain, and the six gods struggled uncontrollably, trying to shake off the bitten left hand; The battery board pinned him to the ground along with the captain, and he couldn't kick the mutant with his legs, so he had to push the mutant hard with his right hand. However, before the rest of us could react, I could only watch helplessly as Long Hao's palm was torn into two pieces, his little thumb and ring finger and middle finger were bitten off alive, and together with this trace of flesh and blood was torn apart and swallowed by the mutants, the bones of his palm were already faintly visible, and the blood that trickled out instantly stained his left hand. Long Hao screamed and covered his mutilated left hand with his right hand, his wide eyes staring at his blood-red hands in fear. He was twitching like a dying elk, and the mutant didn't seem satisfied, spit out the mutilated sticky half of the palm in his mouth, and instead prepared to open his mouth and bite Long Hao again.

This time, the greedy mutant did not succeed, and the captain lying next to Long Hao pulled out the silicon plate fragment that was holding the battery board in his right hand and stabbed it at the mutant's head. Although the blow stabbed the mutant in the head, the fragments did not seem to pierce its skull, and I stepped forward and pulled out the dagger and stabbed it from the back of the head, the sharp blade immediately pierced its filthy head, and pierced its sinful mouth, and I turned the dagger and unscrewed its head off like picking a ripe persimmon!

Wei Hong and I lifted the battery board together to confirm the injuries of the captain and Long Hao. Their ribs should all have broken to varying degrees, but the worst is the injury to Long Hao's left hand. I asked Chen Mo to help the captain stand aside to make room to deal with Long Hao's injuries.

"Brother Heng...... Am I going to finish playing? Long Hao asked me bitterly.

"No, no, you can rest assured." I held Long Hao's left hand to carefully check his condition, even if I was not optimistic, I was constantly comforting him, in fact, I was comforting myself more. God, don't take my brother......

"We have to leave first, such a big movement just now will definitely attract the attention of the zombies around us." The captain covered his abdomen, leaned against the wall of the corridor with the support of Chen Mo, stretched his neck to look downstairs, and analyzed the situation.

"What about Long Hao?"

"Leave me here......"

I knew that even if Long Hao didn't say that, the captain would have given me this answer, but I still didn't want to do it. "No, no, no! I'm not going to leave you here. ”

"I've been infected......"

"Shhh......h Let me think, let me think ......"

We're all thinking about it, hoping it's just a nightmare...... What to do? Even if I bring Long Hao back to Qingshan, he won't live long after being bitten by a mutant, can I only leave him here and wait for death!

"Du Yuheng!" Wei Hong and I are still trying our best to think about how to deal with Long Hao, although less than three minutes have passed, I already feel as if a few hours have passed. Chen Mo, who was standing beside us, suddenly asked me to look up, she and the captain were nervously staring at the end of the corridor where we were, I looked in the direction, three or four faltering mutants were slowly approaching us, "Think of a way!" ”

"We've got to get out of here." The captain ordered, "Take him with you." ”

"But taking him with you will slow us down." Wei Hong looked up at the dim sunlight, and then looked down at the more and more mutants on the campus, "The number of mutants is increasing, and we may all be inseparable from this later!" ”

"I will never leave Long Hao alone!"

"Du Yuheng, you can only do this." Wei Hong lifted the crossbow in his hand and stood in front of me, his sharp gaze firmly locked on my eyes, from which I could feel that this was an ultimatum he had given me.

I gritted my teeth, and now there was only one way. "Brother, I'm sorry." I squatted beside Long Hao, and everyone paid attention to my next move without saying a word. Long Hao gasped, his ruddy eyes looked at me bitterly and nodded reluctantly, he closed his trembling lips and closed his eyes at the same time, waiting for me to send him off for the last time.

I took a deep breath and screamed as I slammed Long Hao to the ground and grabbed his left hand, while snatching the machete from Wei Hong's belt and slashing at Long Hao's left wrist with all my might, Long Hao wailed and slapped my shoulder again, begging me to stop. Wei Hong and the captain didn't expect me to do this, but maybe I could save Long Hao's life by doing this, Chen Mo covered his mouth and held back his screams, almost crying but still watching me wield a machete like a murderer.

Because the blade was not sharp enough, not enough to cut the bones of my hand at a time, I ignored Long Hao's frantic tearing of my clothes and fell again, his blood splattered on the walls around me, my clothes and face, my ears were numb to his cry, my eyes didn't dare to look at his face at all, just focused as much as possible on the broken wrist, the bloody and blurred muscles had been cut off by me, and the cold white bones were still barely connected.

Since it was not known whether the virus had spread widely from the wound on his palm, I cut the middle of his wrist to reduce the possibility that the virus would remain on his hand later, but this also increased his pain. Actually, I don't know if amputation is useful, but this is the only way for me to continue to live at the moment.

One, two, three...... Every time I swung my knife down, Long Hao would scream even louder, Wei Hong helped me hold the other half of his body so that I would not be disturbed, at this time Long Hao was like a prisoner who had been executed, and I was more like a cold-blooded butcher as his friend. Finally, I cut off his left hand, and Long Hao was unconscious at the same time. Chen Mo took off his coat to perform a temporary emergency bandage for Long Hao, hoping to reduce his blood loss, while Wei Hong carried him on his back. Although the captain was wounded, he was able to move on his own, he picked up the gun and walked at the end of us, while I walked at the front of the line with the machete that cut off Long Hao's left hand and the dagger that pierced the mutant's head.

The captain shot us in the rear and killed the two mutants who were following us downstairs, and we had to pick up our pace as he noticed more mutants coming down the stairs. By the time we reached the first floor, there were already four or five mutants near the staircase, and one of them immediately stepped forward without any effort and cut off my head before I could reach out to me. The previous mutant's head hadn't rolled far when another mutant tried to attack me from the side, and the captain in the rear immediately shot it in the head. The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the emergency hemostatic effect that Chen Mo did for Long Hao was not too obvious, there were large drops of blood along the way, and the smell of fresh blood greatly stimulated the beastly nature of the mutants, and at the same time, a large number of mutants hiding on campus were awakened by our gunshots, and they were like a group of bees that smelled honey and swarmed them.

We had only taken a few steps before the mutants behind us had skyrocketed from three or two to as many as twenty or thirty, and the gloomy weather had made these beasts even more unscrupulous. Even in Aoyama, where ammunition is plentiful, bullets are quite precious, and rifle owners like me and the captain cherish rifle bullets even more, and usually carry rifle bullets with two magazines when they go out. This time, the captain used all the bullets in his two magazines, but the mutants in front and behind him were getting more and more. I tossed the rifle behind my back to the captain, and I slashed at the mutants who came forward with all my might.

After passing through the school gate, the captain took advantage of the situation to stop the barricade at the only passage door, although the mutants have increased their speed but are still monsters with low IQ, they are stopped by the barricades, either tripping or squeezing in the narrow door frame, but there are still many mutants who have passed through the school gate like us.

Rows of fences forced us to follow a curved S-shaped route back and forth, only to find that there were more mutants on the street than on campus, and they were probably "woken up" by us to take advantage of the good weather for them to come out to feed, but fortunately there were not too many mutants wandering near the truck we parked on the side of the road.

I ran to the truck to clean up the mutants around me, my hands have been used to how to slash and kill mutants for the rest of my life, most of the slashes hardly require too much thinking on the part of my brain, the memory of my muscles makes my movements become rapid and coherent, and before I know it, my whole body has been covered with black plasma and Long Hao's bright red blood, and my wrists have begun to tremble because of physical exhaustion. Although I tried my best to control it, my breathing gradually became disordered, my vision became blurred, blood and sweat seeped into my eyes, and I could only barely open my eyes in pain. There was one last mutant left in the driver's seat of the truck, and I slashed at its Celestial Spirit Cover, but I didn't expect the machete to stick to its skull and couldn't pull it out. The mutant didn't die, but lunged at me with a vengeance, and I was about to pierce its temple with a dagger, when a gunshot rang out in my ears, unlike a rifle, and the mutant fell to the ground with its head tilted.

I turned my head and saw that it was Chen Mo, who looked at me in horror as if she had killed someone, and stood trembling in place as if she had come out of a pile of dead people. In fact, I know that Chen Mo has not fired a single shot from just now to now, because she can't overcome the concern of killing mutants to think that they are still human beings in the past. Since the outbreak of the crisis, Chen Mo has been living under our protection, and the disappearance of Huang Weizheng and others may make her understand that she must have the courage to stand up and fight for survival, rather than waiting for us to protect her. To some extent, this is the first time Chen Mo has shot and saved my life.

I stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't think too much, you saved my life." ”

"Hmm......" Chen Mo nodded suspiciously, and slowly lowered her hands holding the pistol, just when I thought she would be eager to get into the truck, she suddenly raised her gun like an electric shock and shouted, "Be careful!" ”

There was a bang, and my ears suddenly went numb and I had a short burst of tinnitus. I looked back and saw a sarcoma-covered monster in a hospital suit kneeling on one knee and roaring to the sky, when all the mutants around me sped up and rushed towards us as if enraged.

"Sarcoma monster!" I pointed to the sarcoma monster on his knees and shouted to the captain, "Kill it!" ”

The captain was about to get into the car, and when I said this, he quickly aimed at the sarcoma monster and opened fire, and after five or six bullets, the sarcoma monster did not fall but rushed towards us with the other mutants. I pulled Chen Mo behind me and stood up to meet the attack. The fastest mutant had already come to me, and with a slash I slashed its jaw off, and I stabbed it in the head with a dagger, and kicked it away without moving. As soon as this was solved, the next mutant rushed towards me and Chen Mo with their mouths open. I pushed Chen Mo to the side, and the guy pounced in the air, and I slammed it on the hood of the truck like crazy with its rotten head, until its skull shattered and its brains splashed everywhere before I let go of the disgusting body.

My physical strength was running out faster than I thought, and after killing the mutant, I leaned into the front of the car and gasped for air. At this moment, a mutant took advantage of the situation and pounced on my side, and I hurriedly swung my knife to block, and a gunshot rang out from behind; I have to say that Chen Mo's marksmanship still impresses me, and this shot is right in the head of the mutant. She didn't notice that there was a mutant behind her, and I was about to call out to her attention, and my body was about to pounce on her, when a crossbow bolt shot from behind us and hit the tumored head of the sarcoma monster. The sarcoma monster was killed and fell in an instant, and the mutants who were only two or three steps away from us all wanted to fall to the ground like puppets with broken strings.

Just like the sarcoma monsters we've seen in the past, they are definitely the leadership center of the group of mutants they are in, and if they are killed, the mutants around them will die with them.

After carrying Long Hao into the car, the captain started the truck, and after more than forty minutes, we finally returned to Qingshan. We rushed Long Hao to Dr. Liao's emergency room. After a long period of surgery, Long Hao was temporarily out of danger of life, although the possibility of infection in the wound could not be ruled out, but the most fortunate thing for me was that Dr. Liao said that Long Hao's body was not detected to contain the virus, which also made me breathe a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until the evening that I relaxed a little and found an opportunity to wash off the blood stains on my face in the infirmary's bathroom. In the mirror, I was like a murderer, my red eyes were tired, my messy hair was clumped by the blood dipped in it, and I couldn't wear this clothes at all, and my whole body was covered with a stench of blood, so I'll deal with them later. I held the water in both hands and poured it on my face, scrubbing the blood stains on my face vigorously, and the blood that flowed made my mind flash again the shocking scene when I cut off Long Hao's left hand today.

"Damn, hateful, damnable!" Grief and indignation, I could only spill my grievances on the washbasin, and after a round of beating and kicking, I could only lie on the washbasin and sobble from exhaustion.

At this time, someone gently tapped my shoulder with a finger, I sniffled, and as soon as I turned around, Chen Mo hugged me tightly and cried. I hung my hands in the air, I didn't know whether to give her a hug to comfort, who knew that she took the initiative to pull down my hands and put them on her waist, I didn't think much about sighing and holding her in my arms, at this time we are all so fragile, maybe only hugging can comfort each other.

"I'm really a burden to you, and I can only cause you trouble......" Chen Mo cried in my chest, "I can't help you with anything today......"

"You helped a lot, didn't the doctor say that your emergency treatment bought them a lot of time?"

"But I'm ...... But I ......."

"But you saved me." I took a step back and let Chen Mo look me in the eye, "Thank you." ”

Chen Mo looked at me aggrievedly and didn't say anything, just kept sobbing her red nose, she pursed her lips as if she had something to say to me, but she wanted to stop talking. The captain quietly appeared at the door of the bathroom at some point, and he knocked on the door with interest, and Chen Mo and I were suddenly startled, and quickly pushed each other away as if nothing had happened.

The captain, draped in a shirt and wrapped in white gauze around his waist, asked knowingly with a flat and slight smile, "Did I disturb you?" ”

"No, no!" Chen Mo and I both said in unison.

"Hehe, it's okay, so many things happened today, I have the same mixed feelings as you." The captain seemed to be hinting at us and didn't seem to have anything, he changed his tone and said to me, "Du Yuheng, the mayor asked you to go to her office immediately." ”

Is it because the mayor is not satisfied with our terrible task today and wants to give me some punishment? After all, she didn't want me to go out on a mission in the first place, of course, because they didn't want me to miss anything if I was the only one with information on the virus on the front line. "Did she say anything?"

Usually, if there are casualties in the team, the captain must report to the mayor in person, compared to our captain, who must have just been notified by the mayor after reporting the mission. He smiled and shook his head, not like a bad thing. "You'll find out when you go, maybe it's good news for you kids."

This is good, the captain's sale made me even more confused, so I settled Chen Mo and went back to her room to rest, and then immediately came to the mayor's office. It wasn't until I stood in the door of the office that I realized that I hadn't changed my clothes or washed up, so wouldn't it be appropriate to go to see her in such a sloppy way? Just as I was here, the door of the office suddenly opened, and I bumped into Mayor Liao Daiping, who was startled when she saw me, and looked me up and down as if to say, "You kid came to see me like a dog, it's too rude, right?" ”

But of course, this is all my speculation, Liao Daiping didn't care about me at all, and welcomed me into the office with a sloppy smile. "Oh, why can't you come back yet?"

Liao Daiping walked behind me and gently placed her hands on my shoulders, announcing to the people in the office who were sitting with her back to me like a mother introducing her proud son to others: "Now, he's here, you can say anything." ”

There were a lot of people in the office, in addition to Mayor Liao and me, there were Battalion Commander Yang and two guards, a stranger leaning against the wall and looking at me lazily, and two men and women sitting at the desk in the center of the office with their backs to me.

Although I couldn't tell from their attire, the back was familiar, and my chest was pounding for some reason, and time seemed to be slowed down, and I watched motionlessly as they both stood up and turned towards me. When I saw their faces, I was so shaken that I almost stopped breathing.

"Oh my god, you fucking bastards...... What a fucking bastard! ”
