The hidden wails of the mutants in the dark night in the distance still echoed in the empty streets, and after disposing of the last corpse, Du Yuheng and the others found a relatively safe empty building nearby to spend the night. Although most of the building is not yet covered by forest vegetation, the mottled walls are more or less clinging to creeper-like plants.

In front of the door, Du Yuheng stopped the murderous young man who wanted to spend the night with them, he looked at the young man who was still trembling, stared at the young man's shrinking pupils, and warned: "You can stay with us for one night tonight, and take us out of the forest tomorrow." Got it? ”

The young man looked at Du Yuheng with a frightened expression and nodded in fear. Du Yuheng saw that the other party had agreed, and it didn't look like he dared to play any tricks, so he got out of the way and signaled that the young man could go in.

This building is a private building with shops, which means that the shops on the first floor are basically separated from the floors above the second floor. Unable to find a way upstairs, Du Yuheng and the others had to rest on the first floor, fortunately the window of this shop was not broken, and they felt more or less safe after closing the door; Of course, from a security point of view, this protection is almost useless. But with Du Yuheng's new ability, Xie Tao and Ban Zhiyu are a lot more assured about their safety.

Everyone found a place to sit down, and the twists and turns of the day made them all eager to find a comfortable position to rest. There was no fire, and the temperature dropped a lot at night, so everyone curled up as close to each other as possible. Only the frightened young man hid in a corner, staring at Du Yuheng intently, his hands clasping his body and trembling.

"It's not as exaggerated as the cold one." Wu Fei glanced at the young man disdainfully, turned back to Chen Mo and smiled at them.

"It's not that he's cold, it's because he has no water to drink." Liao Yuan picked up a kettle and stepped forward to hand it to the young man. I saw him jump up suddenly, snatch the kettle, and begin to pour it into his mouth vigorously, as if he had never drunk water.

The young man smiled with satisfaction at Liao Yuan after drinking the water, but quickly focused his attention on Du Yuheng. Chen Mo said curiously: "This ...... Why is this happening? ”

"I can't say exactly why, but the preliminary conclusion is that the water source in the forest is contaminated. People drink the water here and then become addicted to it, and they urgently need to drink water to relieve stress whenever they are overstressed. Liao Yuan walked back to Chen Mo's side, thought for a while, and further explained, "Before meeting you, we also met the survivors of this kind of forest, and they all have this quirk, so I took a sample and prepared to take it back for analysis. ”

"This water seems to affect the judgment of the mutants." Ban Zhiyu added, "They seem to treat people who drink water as companions, but the effect only lasts for a while. ”

"I feel it too." Uncle Zhong suddenly realized, "Just now I saw that those three ghost things didn't attack those people, but only attacked us. ”

"Speaking of which, what the hell is going on with you? How did it come to be like this? Chen Mo kindly pushed Du Yuheng who was in a daze, thinking that Du Yuheng would resist as aggressively as in the past, but he didn't.

The topic and attention were focused on himself again, and Du Yuheng was stunned for a moment as if he was not ready, and his amber eyes needed to find one that could temporarily focus on observation to avoid the gaze of others. "Huh? Oh...... I don't know, it's like this after being bitten by a mutant. ”

"It should be that when you were in Tianyang, the drug that Qin Rong injected him had a reaction with the virus, and the specific analysis may require more accurate equipment to analyze." Liao Yuan shrugged helplessly.

"Anyway, this guy is the most effective weapon against zombies right now, and as long as we see mutants in the forest, they will all be waiting to be killed like you just saw."

"Lots of nonsense!" Du Yuheng threw a handful of ashes at Ban Zhiyu, and then stretched out his hand to beg for it and said, "Bring me something to eat, I'm starving." ”

"Oh......"

Ban Zhiyu did so very honestly, while Chen Mo seemed a little reluctant, she lowered her head and secretly paid attention to Du Yuheng's eyes, and then asked in a calm tone, "Do you feel anything?" ”

Du Yuheng pretended to think while chewing a compressed biscuit given by Ban Zhiyu, and replied seriously: "Feeling? Well...... Be hungry. ”

"Hungry fart! I'm sick, and I ask you how you feel after becoming like this! Chen Mo pursed her lips, she who was originally sitting next to Du Yuheng stood up with an irritated expression, sat down next to Wu Fei again, and made another disgusted grimace at Du Yuheng.

"Yes! I'm really sick now......" Du Yuheng replied quickly, and behaved as he should, "And after becoming like this, I am indeed hungry very quickly." ”

Du Yuheng hadn't swallowed the thing in his mouth yet, and he opened his arms and shrugged it, indicating that he was innocent. Chen Mo had no choice but to accept it with tears and laughter. Wu Fei, who had been observing Du Yuheng's words and deeds, asked again: "We met your friend before, and he said that he killed you, ...... say that?"

"You mean Huang Weizheng, right? That's right, I returned to Aoyama when he and he were on fire in Aoyama, originally to save people, but after seeing what happened in Aoyama, I quarreled with him, and then ...... Uh, a ......" Du Yuheng smiled embarrassedly, "But to be precise, it was because the guy named the old wolf shot me that made me unable to move." Then the mutants rushed out, and I was bitten like that. ”

"Pick up a life, look at you like this, you don't seem to take it seriously." Wu Fei smiled admiringly.

"There's nothing you can do when it's going on, you've been bitten, how long can you live." Du Yuheng's mouth said easily, but what appeared in his eyes was pessimism that was rare for him, "After walking out of the forest with you, I will go to Wanxiang City and solve everything that needs to be solved." ”

"You're going to Wanxiang City?" Chen Mo was stunned, "Aren't you afraid of death?" The way you look, a stranger would shoot you. ”

"What qualifications do you have to say that I ......" Du Yuheng said with a mocking look at Chen Mo, "At least I won't be arrested like someone." ”

"Say it again!"

"Moreover," Du Yuheng stretched out his palm to Chen Mo to let her listen to herself, "And about the plane, you also said it when you cleaned up the corpse just now, there is no need for a few of us to go and see it again, the people of Qingshan also hate me, so I naturally can only go to Wanxiang City." ”

"Du Yuheng ......" Sitting next to Uncle Zhong, Liao Daiping, who was not in good health, weakly interrupted Du Yuheng and Chen Mo's snort, "There is one thing I think I have an obligation to make clear to you...... I guess it's an apology. ”

"I already know about your lordship's conspiracy." Du Yuheng was obviously dissatisfied with Liao Daiping's actions, but he just kept Liao Daiping's image in the eyes of others.

Liao Daiping nodded to Du Yuheng guiltily and gratefully, and said with a smile: "I know that it is my responsibility for Qingshan to become like this now...... I'm sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for you and your friends......"

If it was in the past, Du Yuheng would definitely ridicule Liao Daiping on the spot for being hypocritical, but now he just smiled helplessly, and then looked at the darkness outside the window with his eyes like an old man who has been looking back on the past for a long time, and said earnestly: "We just want to live......"

"Well, I think you may have really misunderstood the people of Wanxiang City this time." Xie Tao, who has always regarded the battle between the two forces of Tsingshan and Wanxiang as a third party, said while rummaging through his package, "Ban Zhiyu and I rushed here from Wanxiang this time to send the new improved vaccine to Tsingshan. As he spoke, Xie Tao took out a cylindrical thermos cup with the help of Ban Zhiyu, "Not long after Huang Weizheng and the others set off to Qingshan, the same accident happened to Qingshan in Wanxiang City, but it was controlled in time, and they also developed a new vaccine. After the leader of Wanxiang told me about Huang Weizheng, he agreed to my request to send this new vaccine to Qingshan, but unfortunately he didn't have time to ......."

"It's too late, everything is in time......" Wu Fei looked at the thermos cup with shiny eyes, and Xie Tao also solemnly handed it over to her. Although it was not opened, Wu Fei, who got the vaccine, seemed to have seen the appearance of the new vaccine, and said happily, "The survivors of Qingshan have gathered in the new safe zone, and there are many people among them who have not had time to be vaccinated at that time. ”

"Chen Mo, you should rush back as soon as you get out of the forest." Du Yuheng finished eating the last bite of the biscuit, stretched and said.

"No! I'm going to Wanxiang City with you! ”

Du Yuheng was not surprised by Chen Mo's objection, he rubbed his shoulders impatiently, and said, "You will be safer in Qingshan, and going to Wanxiang City with us will only cause chaos." ”

"I have to go! Because...... Because...... I said something very excessive to Huang Weizheng today, and I must apologize to him......" The more Chen Mo said that his voice became smaller, and finally it even turned into a low murmur.

Although he couldn't hear it clearly, Du Yuheng also guessed the reason why Chen Mo insisted on going to Wanxiang City. He glanced at Xie Tao, and after Xie Tao nodded in agreement, he was just like a child who was coaxed to cry by himself, and said helplessly: "Come on, come on, go and go, anyway, if something happens, I'm not responsible." ”

"What do you have to blame? It's good that I just happened to go to Wanxiang City with you, anyway, I didn't go there to find you! Chen Mo's words made Du Yuheng feel a little uncomfortable.

In order to hide the gloom in his heart, Du Yuheng could only purse his lips and pout, deliberately changed the topic and said to the others: "I told that guy just now, he will take us out of the forest, and then we will let him go." ”

After listening to Du Yuheng's words, everyone invariably shifted their gaze to the young man hiding in the corner, but the strange thing was that the young man did not react because of this, but still stared at Du Yuheng. The cold gaze was creepy, mixed with a morbid sense of awe, as strange as the Incas seeing the gods they worshipped.

"Why is he looking at you like that? It seems like a long time. Xie Tao asked Du Yuheng in a low voice.

"I don't know ...... either" Du Yuheng also felt uneasy, but he preferred to believe that he was enough to deter the other party, "I hope there won't be any more trouble." ”

"Are you going to let him go like that?" Wu Fei seemed unwilling to let go of the murderer of the Qingshan soldiers, "That bastard killed our people." ”

As soon as Wu Fei's words fell, the young man's gaze instantly swept over her, and the reverence in his eyes immediately turned into hostile anger, like a beast about to move. Wu Fei couldn't help but move back, nervously putting his hand on his knife.

"Forget it, there's no point in killing him." Du Yuheng's kindness immediately attracted the attention of the young man again; The beast that seemed to be about to go berserk calmed down because of this.

Wu Fei carefully looked at Du Yuheng, who was observing the strange young man, and suddenly stretched out his hand to him and said, "Wu Fei." ”

Du Yuheng, who was in a daze, was taken aback by this sudden self-introduction, he was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted, shook Wu Fei's hand, and said with a smile: "Du Yuheng." ”

By the faint light of the stars, Xie Tao skillfully counted the weapons captured from the forest survivors. In Xie Tao's view, those inferior knives are just toys for his own courage; Because the blade is not sharp enough, it is often embedded in the mutant's body and difficult to pull out, which is a deadly threat. As for firearms, Xie Tao only chose four regular military police guns to use. It is estimated that these guys have attacked the military police or looted their weapons, a police Type 97 shotgun and Type 64 pistol and Type 79 submachine gun, not to mention, I didn't expect them to have a Type 95 short assault rifle, which is a weapon that the military and police are less equipped with. For a soldier, Xie Tao is still quite interested in this.

"It's ...... Brevet? Du Yuheng pointed at the gun in Xie Tao's hand with his chin.

"Well, strange, I didn't expect to see you here."

"You can just use it, it's a waste to put it in other people's hands anyway." Du Yuheng said with a smile.

"What is a brevture?" Chen Mo interjected and asked Du Yuheng, "I see that he and yours seem to be ...... Ay? Wait, why did your gun head look like this? ”

Chen Mo just wanted to pick up the rifle beside Du Yuheng, but Du Yuheng snatched it back as if he was about to be robbed of his treasure, and then said in disgust: "Don't touch it!" It's fun to go off later. ”

"Stingy." Chen Mo pouted and turned his head to look at Xie Tao.

Xie Tao knew that Chen Mo meant to let him explain, so he said patiently: "We were walking in the forest before, and in order to reduce the impact of the gunshot, we made a simple muffler for the gun. Xie Tao picked up Ban Zhiyu's submachine gun, pointed at the large metal flashlight shell at the muzzle, and continued, "The method is actually very simple, just stuff it with some filler...... But accuracy and range will be greatly reduced...... Although the effect just now seems to be good......" Xie Tao's original teaching explanation turned into self-analysis with his self-talk, and finally the topic was gone.

After a few small talks, in order to ensure the physical strength of the next day, Uncle Zhong first announced the time of bedtime, urging everyone to rest quickly, and Du Yuheng volunteered to take on the role of night watchman. After the others fell asleep, the sound of the night surrounded them again. I don't know how long it took, the young man who had been staring at Du Yuheng also fell asleep, leaving Du Yuheng alone to "appreciate" the miserable night.

In fact, it was pitch black rather than night, and nothing could be seen except the vague outlines of objects on the hazy streets under the starlight. But Du Yuheng heard many sounds that he couldn't hear in the past, and after the abnormal change in his body occurred, in addition to having the ability to deter mutants, the biggest change was his hearing. In this way, Du Yuheng also got the sense of hearing as if he could listen to the world. The whining of the wind at night like the wailing of the undead, the sound of something abandoned on a street corner being blown away by the wind, the slight swing of the branches, the brittle breaking of the grass and trees, the staggering footsteps of the mutants, the subtle chirping of insects, it seems that even the whispers of those unreal ghosts, Du Yuheng seems to be able to hear it. But these sounds seemed to Du Yuheng to be noisy noises, so much so that he couldn't sleep at night...... The only thing he couldn't hear was his own voice.

The noise in his mind gradually wore down Du Yuheng's energy, and when he opened his sleepy eyes again, it was already dawn. I didn't expect to sleep against the wall all night, and if I had a sneak attack last night, it would have been over. Thinking of this, Du Yuheng couldn't help but feel afraid of his dereliction of duty. But soon, the smell of milk cereal in the air immediately made him forget about these self-blames.

Du Yuheng stretched his neck and looked left and right, and found Chen Mo and the others gathered around the small alcohol stove carried by Xie Tong, looking at the boiling cereal in the iron bowl on the stove with anticipation. The rich fragrance instantly fades away the tiredness of the whole body, and makes people feel uplifted.

"Huh? You're awake. Ban Zhiyu saw that Du Yuheng was rubbing his sleepy eyes and hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he smirked and beckoned him to come forward, "Look what treasure we found." ”

"Cereal? Where did it come from? Du Yuheng stood aside and yawned while stretching his body and asked.

"Well, I found it in that cupboard." Ban Zhiyu pointed to a cupboard next to the door with his chin, "But this is not cereal, it is the milk paste that babies eat." ”

"Milk paste?" Du Yuheng looked around curiously, only to find out that the place where they spent the night last night was a baby goods store.

I hurriedly hid in this store last night, but I didn't have time to observe the situation inside, and it was already dark, so everyone hid in the innermost position and didn't notice the surrounding furnishings. Looking at the dusty stroller next to the counter and the crib with a charm toy, Du Yuheng inevitably flashed a trace of sadness in his heart. At this time, in a store like this, it is estimated that mutants are too lazy to break in; But it used to be a store for new life.

After a few seconds of trance, Du Yuheng came back to his senses, touched his head, and apologized to his companions who seemed to have no intention of listening to him at all: "Oh, I don't know what happened last night, I fell asleep, I'm sorry......"

"It's okay, Xie Tao said that you haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so we didn't call you up."

"I don't know about the others, but if you say it, I'm probably afraid that I'll eat too much and rob you of your share." Du Yuheng prevaricated Chen Mo's words with a wicked smile, and after the two made a grimace at each other, Du Yuheng, who had recovered his spirits, immediately joined the queue waiting for breakfast.

I don't know if it's because Xie Tao's craftsmanship is good, or because I haven't eaten food other than compressed biscuits or canned food for a long time, the milk paste without much sweetness actually makes everyone's taste feel as comfortable as rebirth. It didn't take long for a large bag of milk paste to be emptied, and without doing so, Ban Zhiyu also vigorously packed and took away the other baby food in the store; Backpacks that fit into backpacks, bags that can be found and bags are carried away, in short, they are like a group of housewives rushing to buy discounted baby products, and they loot everything they can eat in the store in large and small bags.

They stood so out of place on the decadent forest streets with brightly colored baby store paper bags, and Uncle Zhong even used a slightly larger stroller as his own purchasing cart to put everything he could put in the stroller, and he was so bloated that he was insatiable to carry so many things, like a funny robber who had ransacked a baby store.

The corpses that had turned gray were still lying on the chaotic camp last night, and their heads had been pierced; This is to prevent their "awakening". The mutant who cut off his legs was also eliminated by Du Yuheng last night, and now eliminating the mutant is as easy for Du Yuheng as slaughtering livestock, of course, psychologically, he still has to bear a lot of pressure.

Although the condition of the plane was not detected, Du Yuheng's gains this time were not small. After confiscating the weapons and equipment of the forest bandits, taking almost all the baby food in a store plus a stroller, and most importantly, finding Liao Daiping and Chen Mo, it was worth their adventure in the forest of this dead city. The youth of the forest also seem to have gotten friendly because of the delicious baby breakfast in the morning; However, he still pays attention to Du Yuheng's every move from time to time. Under his guidance, Du Yuheng and his entourage walked out of the dead city forest without much effort.

Even though they are all in Nanning, the inside and outside of the Dead City Forest feel very different. I finally walked out of the forest, and the road under my feet changed from yesterday's soft texture to asphalt and hard, and the field of vision was much wider than yesterday, and the smell of rancid dampness in the air also dissipated. Although they both belong to the products of the apocalypse, Du Yuheng and the others obviously prefer the dead and silent empty city to the dead city forest that seems to be ready to devour life at any time. Standing at the edge of the forest, Du Yuheng also fulfilled his promise.

"Let's go, it's still early, you should be able to get back to your companions." Du Yuheng let his companion stand on the side that was not impregnated by the forest, looking at the ragged face on the edge of the huge banyan tree in the forest, and looked at his youth calmly, "After you go back, how are you going to explain it to your people?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell them I've met the Lord of the Resurrection." The young man smiled happily.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I'll go first." The young man nodded respectfully to Du Yuheng and said goodbye, and then jumped into the forest.

Du Yuheng and the others all watched in confusion as the young man's figure gradually drowned in the black-green forest. Liao Yuan stepped forward and patted Du Yuheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This is probably some kind of worship among the survivors of the Dead City Forest, you can deter mutants, maybe to them are some kind of priest shaman or something." ”

"That's." Du Yuheng returned to the team with Liao Yuan with a smile.

"It's hard to say, you look at the way they drink that water, seriously, who wasn't scared at the time?" Wu Fei couldn't help but look at the green trees in the Dead City Forest again, "There may be more strange things in this than these. ”

"Whatever, I won't go in again anyway." Du Yuheng shook his body with relief, "Okay, let's say goodbye here." ”

As soon as Du Yuheng's words fell, Chen Mo jumped to his side, as if he was about to start some team game, and preemptively chose his teammates. Du Yuheng had no choice but to say to Liao Daiping and them: "Then that's it, mayor, you and Uncle Zhong, Wu Fei and Doctor Liao should go back to Qingshan first." ”

"Well, thank you again for your help, Du Yuheng." Liao Daiping gratefully took the initiative to shake hands with Du Yuheng and said, "I hope we can see each other again." ”

"Don't worry, it will. Take care. After a simple goodbye, Du Yuheng turned around and glanced at Xie Tao, and the few of them walked in the direction of Wanxiang City.
