Chapter 56: Her Weakness
The sky was dark, the distant glass windows reflected the light of the fires on the ground, and along the streets full of flames, the surrounding roads were potholed by the explosions, and the air raised was filled with the smell of burning.
A large hole had been broken in the bar wall on the corner of the street, and the new Vancouver owner had improved the atmosphere of the bar, and in the blink of an eye he had become one of the few casualties in the battle, and the heavy smell of gunpowder seemed to linger as the modified and powerful off-road vehicle was gone.
"Did you really just let them go?" Noni looked at her like an empress in the flames, her starry eyes filled with an unpredictable mind.
The little zombie boy in the plaid shirt was gently held in her arms, and then gently put down. There was a shallow wound on the little boy's shoulder, and the woman stretched out her fingers to gently wipe away a little gray-black stain on the boy's forehead. Seeing this scene, Noni suddenly had a delusion from the bottom of her heart, forgetting their identities and their abilities, under the light of the fire, they were like a very poor mother and son, abandoned in a lonely corner, and only by hugging each other could they keep warm.
It wasn't until a creeper walked up to the two of them carrying a Ferrari whose body had been twisted and deformed by the explosion that the heartwarming image in her eyes was shattered, and what reverberated in her mind was the lingering battle and the few people of her kind that she could not forget.
When the sexy woman with the bazooka on her shoulder fired at them, Noni thought she was really going to die...... Death, perhaps, can be regarded as a relief, at least no longer have to live around a group of zombies every day in order to survive, smell the stench of decay on their bodies, listen to their terrifying roars every night, and even often see them tearing flesh and blood, stuffing the mutilated bodies of other humans into their mouths that can never be filled.
When the scorching rocket flew in front of her, she felt as if time had stood still, when in fact, it was the rocket that really stood still.
In front of the rocket, there seemed to be an invisible but tenacious force dragging it, and the air and wind intertwined into an invisible web that bound even the most ferocious sharks.
In the end, the rocket exploded because the woman who looked like God to Noni was caught in the soft underbelly. She saw the man in the driver's seat of the SUV rush out like a cannonball, through the SUV's body, a rope flew from between his wrists, and pressed against the tall building opposite, and then his whole body jumped into the air with the rapidly contracting rope, and only after kicking a creeper did he really lock onto his target.
"Let us go, or I'll kill this kid."
Ford took out a silver-white ** from his waist and put the muzzle of the gun against the forehead of the zombie child.
"I know your ability to manipulate the air...... I didn't expect you to be able to block even the attack of the bazooka, but you shouldn't have any extra strength right now...... Let us go, I promise this kid will be fine. ”
The fingers on the trigger were slightly retracted.
"We're dead...... It's not good for you. ”
The boy raised his head, there was no fear in his eyes, but he was stunned, looked at the cold pistol pointed at his forehead, and then at the woman who was agitating in the wind to resist the rockets......
It was also at that moment that Ford suddenly understood why Su Qian would have such a strong killing intent towards that boy, if it weren't for his strong self-control and the current crisis, he would almost not be able to control his own hand.
Strangling the most likely danger in the cradle......
This is the credo that you always abide by as a mercenary.
"I agreed......"
It wasn't until the full-powered SUV crashed into the fence outside the bar and the hostage zombie boy was thrown out of the car that the modified SUV was finally gone.
With a loud bang, out-of-control rockets exploded in mid-air, and the streets on both sides were subjected to terrifying power, with flames and stone chips scattered all over the ground, and even the entire side of the Ferrari was shattered in the aftermath of the explosion.
The robed woman rushed out like a gust of wind and caught the zombie child named Mo, as for the two creepers and the zombies behind her who were injured by the explosion, she didn't look at it at all.
The boy in her arms raised his hand a little rustily and gently ran it across the woman's cheek, the corners of his mouth raising into a somewhat stiff but extremely sincere smile
"Laugh...... Happy"
On the woman's face, the smile was like a flower, and the robe that kept shaking behind her finally calmed down.
…………
The night breeze whined, and after leaving downtown Toronto, the view widened.
Ten minutes later, a modified off-road vehicle full of wild metal atmosphere avoided the main road, which was already impassable due to traffic jams, and rushed to the farm bumpy from the path.
In the back seat of the car, Jerry had woken up once, but the exhausting escape for several days had left the eleven-year-old boy overdrawn from start to finish...... Now he squinted his eyes and quietly listened to the chatter in the carriage, and the voice was the bearded man named Ford, and then the Asian uncle named Su Qian.
"Ford, your rope just now is so domineering, it looks like Batman's equipment in the movie......"
"Actually, I've always wanted to be Batman...... It's a pity that I don't have as much money as him. ”
"There's something to eat at the base, I'm so hungry right now."
"There are some of them, they were collected by me and Black Widow in the past two days."
"Hmph, I found it alone."
The grumbling of the women, and the laughter of the crowd.
Then they were talking in Asian that Jerry didn't understand, and sometimes they were discussing topics he didn't understand, about viruses, research institutes, and vaccines, but Jerry seemed to understand something...... These people don't look like bad people.
The car finally stopped after more than an hour, and when the door opened, a pair of hands gently shook Jerry, who was still pretending to be asleep.
"Get up, little Jerry, we're here......" The old man gently stroked the boy's cheek with his rough hand.
"Grandpa Wu...... Where have we been. The boy didn't know that the kitten he was pretending to be sleeping had already been discovered, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and asked.
"Got to a safe place."
The car door opened, the breeze was blowing, the temperature at night was a little low, he felt a little cool on the breeze, and the eyes of the people around him were focused on this slightly excited little boy at the moment.
"Safe ...... Place."
Holding back tears, the boy stepped out of the car, a little unclear, only that this should be a suburb far from Toronto, because he had been sitting in the car for a long time.
The farm in front is not large, but it is surrounded by a high barbed wire fence, and only the gate has a wide passage that allows vehicles to pass through Guò.
Outside there is also a wooden stake with a sign in bright red English.
'Private camps, intruders at their own risk. ’
In the distance, Jerry also saw two cows grazing in the pasture, as if he had suddenly returned to the holiday when his father took him on a farm outing.
The strong little boy suddenly couldn't cry, and the bean-sized tears kept flowing and were wiped away by him.
"Dad, Jerry is safe......"
