By the faint moonlight, Land Rover saw a few zombies swaying as if they were drunk on the street in the center of the village. The so-called Center Street is actually a narrow concrete road two or three meters wide and no more than 100 meters long, and pedestrians have to turn sideways when electric tricycles drive by. This remote village brought countless laughter and laughter to Land Rover's childhood, and after not coming back for a long time, Land Rover seemed to remember that scene again, the bent father and the gray-haired mother with sideburns, this unpretentious couple, standing at the corner of Center Street, tearfully watched their son get on a three-wheeled motorcycle and go to school in the city...... It was the first time Land Rover had left the village, and the motorcycle was jolting, and the mother suddenly cried and chased after him, telling her son to take care of himself and not go hungry......

"Brother, is your home still far away?" Jiang Xiaowen took Lu Rover's hand and asked softly, pulling Land Rover's thoughts back to reality.

"It's almost there, a few steps away." Land Rover replied.

"Well, I'm about to see my uncle and aunt."

Sophie, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but say: "Land Rover, your hometown is really poor, why are they all adobe houses, not even a small second floor, big brother, is this really the earth of the 21st century?" How can there be a feeling of traveling back to a primitive society? ”

"Hey, you grew up in a big city, you haven't seen the real countryside, have you ever heard of the word poverty alleviation?" Land Rover said helplessly, "I know the pain of this remote and poor rural area, so I want to go out and don't want ......to come back."

"But you're back now, if it weren't for this cataclysm." Sophie said meaningfully: "Have you ever heard of a word, the fallen leaves return to ...... roots"

"Well, you know a lot about philosophy!" Land Rover laughed.

Jiang Xiaowen also said: "Be friends with such a powerful brother and sister, little girl Alexander!" I feel like I'm just a thigh-hugging person, very wasteful, no merit......"

"Nonsense! You also have advantages, you are beautiful, and your development is very advanced at a young age...... "Sophie praised while reaching out and gently pinching Jiang Xiaowen's left breast, and appraised: "Well, natural, absolutely silicone-free ......"

Jiang Xiaowen snorted, and her face burned with shame: "Sister...... You...... Your discipline ......"

"Ahem......" Land Rover was really speechless, so he had to cough dryly.

Suddenly, a swaying black shadow came out of an alley in front of them, it was undoubtedly a zombie, and the three of them hurriedly flashed behind a stone. I saw the light of five or six flashlights shining in the direction of the zombies, and a group of people rushed from the far end of Center Street, and the leading one shouted: "There is one more here!" Immediately afterwards, a swarm of people rushed forward, these more than 20 people are all male villagers of Lujia Village, the youngest is 50 years old, and it is a veritable self-defense group for the elderly.

The old men carried all kinds of farm tools, sickles, nail rakes, shovels, axes, shovels, wooden lifts...... Rushing up with a fierce momentum, beating this zombie horde to death.

"Wang, Wang! ......" Suddenly, Lele barked twice.

The flashlight shone on the Land Rover's side, and one of the sharp-eyed old men pointed to this side and shouted, "There is still one over there!" Above! ”

The old men got up again and rushed up.

Land Rover couldn't open his eyes by the flashlight, stood up and said loudly: "It's me, uncles and uncles!" It's me, Huzi! ”

Hearing the human voice, the old men stopped, and in confusion focused the flashlight on Land Rover's face.

"Huzi?!" The old man who took the lead took two steps forward and asked in surprise, "Are you really a tiger?" Is it a baby of Lu Tianming's family? ”

"It's me! I'm coming back to see my mom and dad! ”

"Oops! It's really a tiger! The old man who took the lead recognized Land Rover, stepped forward quickly, took Lu Rover's hand, and said with a smile: "It's really you, kid, I haven't been back for a few years, and I've grown so tall." ”

An old man in the back reminded: "Village chief, first ask if Huzi has been bitten!" ”

"Yes, Huzi, you just came back from Shandong, were you bitten by a monster?"

"I wasn't bitten, it's fine," Land Rover desperately wanted to know about his family's situation: "Village chief, are my parents okay?" ”

"This ......," the village chief sighed, but couldn't open his mouth.

At this time, an old man with gray hair came over, shook Lu Rover's hand, and said emotionally: "Huzi, you are home!" I'm your third uncle! ……”

"Third uncle, where are my parents?" Land Rover asked eagerly.

"Don't get excited, Huzi, I'll tell you ......"

Through the third uncle's narration, Land Rover learned that Lujia Village is the only village within a radius of 100 miles that has not been completely infected by the virus. The geographical location of the village is relatively special, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is only one road to the outside world, the first zombie entered the village and ate a child, and the angry villagers beat him to death, thinking that it was a psychotic murder. However, two more zombies came one after another, and they ate two elderly women, and they were also surrounded and killed by the villagers. When the villagers intercepted and killed three zombies at the entrance of the village, everyone understood that the people from other villages had become "monsters", and protective measures must be established to protect the lives of the village. So all the old men formed a self-defense force, cut down two century-old trees, blocked the entrance of the village, and erected iron nets in an attempt to block the invasion of "monsters".

After the protective measures were taken, some zombies from neighboring villages came and were blocked from the village and scattered into the nearby woods. (The zombie that was killed by the old men on Center Street just now crawled in through the gap in the protective fence.) The village chief has already sent someone to repair it. Land Rover's father, Lu Tianming, was bitten on the arm yesterday while fighting zombies, and the villagers didn't know that being bitten would mutate into zombies, and an old Chinese medicine doctor in the village helped him bandage his wounds with herbal medicine.

Less than 100 people in the village, including the elderly, children and women, gathered in the small playground of the village school under the instructions of the village chief. The village chief explained the crisis facing the village and reminded everyone to strengthen their awareness of prevention, and the old men must pick up the guys and protect their wives, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Lu Tianming, who was bitten, fell to the ground in pain amid the village chief's impassioned speech......

In the next half an hour, Lu Tianming first had chills all over his body, his face was pale, then he lay on the desk in the classroom with a high fever, his whole body convulsed, and finally the blood vessels on his face seemed to burst open, which was extremely hideous, and his pupils instantly turned dark yellow, and fell into a state of madness, jumping up and wanting to bite, just like the "monster" killed by the villagers, everyone understood that Lu Tianming was infected.

So, the villagers tied Lu Tianming with hemp rope and tied him to the flagpole of the village school. And Land Rover's mother, Wang, was so frightened that she fainted and was sent home to recuperate......

When Land Rover heard this, his eyes were full of tears, and he ran directly to the village school. The village is a testament to Land Rover's simple and joyful childhood. When I went to school, there were two leaky grass houses, but now, with the support of Project Hope, three bright brick houses have been built, and the tables and chairs have also been renovated. On the small cement playground, willow trees are clinging, spreading the meaning of innocence under the breeze.

Land Rover used the third uncle's flashlight to shine under the flagpole in the center of the playground, and saw his father Lu Tianming tied up there by Wuhuada, it roared and struggled, there were traces of abscesses on its face, and Bai Shengsheng's two rows of teeth were completely bare. Due to the fierce struggle, the hemp rope on his shoulders had been deeply strapped into the flesh, and black blood stained the blue sweatshirt......

It's still that blue undershirt! In Land Rover's memory, the thrifty father was reluctant to buy himself a new dress, and he wore this familiar undershirt every summer, and he couldn't count how many summers it had been, and it had not changed!

"Daddy! Father! Sorry I'm late......"

Land Rover climbed forward with a roll, wanting to hug the manic Lu Tianming, but was dragged by Sophie. Land Rover ran to the village, and only Sophie could keep up with him. The old men were running slowly, still halfway through.

Sophie was carrying a heavy machine gun and had a bullet chain wrapped around her body, and she could catch up with the Land Rover under high loads, but she was also tired enough, she hunched over, pulled the Land Rover with one hand, and covered her knee with the other hand and gasped for air.

"Land Rover! Don't be impulsive! It's been ...... It's not your dad anymore......"

"Nope! No! He's my dad! …… I, I'm sorry for him......" Land Rover still pounced forward, if it was bitten by Lu Tianming, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Sister! Are you crazy? Sophie said angrily: "Sister burned her mother to death, and she didn't lose control like this, I'm really speechless, my feelings are so deep, I didn't often go home to see it earlier, is it time for you to show filial piety?" Wipe! ”

"Daddy......"

Sophie couldn't hold the Land Rover with one hand, so she had to hug the Land Rover from behind. "Can you calm down!? Your dad is infected and has lost his human consciousness, and if you pounce, he will be bitten by it! Like an idiot, my sister is really convinced! ”

"Woo......" Under Sophie's persuasion, Land Rover stopped rushing forward, but he collapsed on the ground, knelt in front of Lu Tianming, and cried in front of the sky: "Dad! I'm sorry! I came home late...... I should...... Should have come home early to see you...... I'm an unfilial son......"

Boom, a huge thunder resounded through the sky, and a sharp lightning bolt lit up the western sky, and suddenly, it poured down. The merciless rain instantly wet the kneeling Land Rover and Sophie standing next to him, and the heartfelt song seemed to echo in his ears!

The merciless rain woke me up,

Let my tears be as cold as the rain......

Land Rover cries heart-rending in the rainstorm!

This is the voice of a prodigal son who has been wandering for a long time, and it is also a deep remorse. Seeing his father roaring angrily at him, he wanted his father to tear himself apart and punish him severely.

However, he is now disqualified from being punished!

The village classroom is a gathering place for villagers who dare not go home, and the women and children inside stand at the door and by the window to watch this poignant scene. Sophie quietly turned off the flashlight, not wanting more people to see the tragic appearance of the Land Rover crying bitterly. In her heart, she is also praying that Land Rover will soon pick himself up and welcome the new sun tomorrow, after all, life goes on......

Heavy rain, this pouring rain, made Land Rover feel the biting cold, and his heart was like a knife! In the darkness, every lightning bolt illuminated his father's terrifying and hideous face, which was no longer the kind face of his father before, and could no longer give him any warmth and love.

Turn back the clock, don't let you get bitten

I would like to exchange my life for your long stay

Am I your pride, and are you still worried about me?

Your son, come home......

The old man's self-defense force also arrived, they crowded into the classroom to hide from the rain, no one turned on the flashlight to illuminate the Land Rover on the playground, everyone knew very well that this was a normal sight, a kind of performance that the son should have.

Sophie also cried while standing in the rain, and for this touching picture, she remembered her dead parents and younger brother...... Jiang Xiaowen also came out of breath, Lele wailed in her arms, she stood in the rain and hid her face and cried......

The heavy rain still could not stop, and the lightning and thunder became more and more violent......
