Chapter 5: The Blood Moon

"What time is it?"

"Ten past nine."

"What time is it?"

"Ten thirty."

"Is it eleven thirty?"

"Five minutes to go."

For four hours, the two of them had only these conversations, and waiting was all they had to do.

They could hear the initial incessant screams to the occasional screams, and even the iron door that Xu Luo had been tied to had been knocked on an hour earlier.

But the strange thing is that, except for the only banging, the school building is always quiet, and it seems to be a place forgotten by both humans and zombies.

Xu Luo took a step, walked to the big iron gate, pulled out the iron pipe that was already a little bent, turned around and said: "Wait for me here, if I don't come back in half an hour, you must live by yourself." ”

Xia Yujia didn't say anything, didn't nod, just stared at Xu Luo, her eyes as bright as the bright moon.

Both hands held the fire axe tightly, very tight, as if he wanted to let the fire axe melt into his hands.

- You'll definitely be back, definitely.

Xu Luo smiled, his smile firm.

opened the iron door and walked into the darkness, the iron door was slammed shut, leaving only a loud sound of Xia Yujia's "bang".

……

Ma Gui ran desperately, and as a substitute for the school basketball team, he felt very lucky.

Although he can't become the main player and can't play the ball, his usual training allows him to run fast to avoid the encirclement of zombies.

It's just that now, it seems that luck has come to an end, his physical strength has been exhausted, and there are five zombies behind him slowly moving towards him, never giving up.

When the end of the world came, the four people in Ma Gui's bedroom were among them, and they rushed out of the bedroom building and fled for their lives as soon as possible.

However, the entire campus is in chaos.

After hiding in the east for a while, they decided to look for reinforcement in panic, but they didn't know where to go.

So the other three decided to let Ma Gui, who was the least daring and the fastest, come to explore the way.

Although Ma Gui was a little reluctant, he finally had no choice but to accept it.

Now he couldn't tell the way and ran straight in the direction of the school building.

At this moment, Ma Gui found that someone had walked out of the teaching building, carrying three cages of mice in his hand, and he was walking towards him with the smell of zombies.

Walk very slowly.

Ma Gui's legs and stomach trembled, and when he screamed in his heart, the man had already walked in front of him and passed by him.

A cold voice sounded in his ears: "Run away, I will help you lead away the zombies." ”

Ma Gui suddenly felt that he couldn't run, and the sweat had soaked his vest.

It turned out to be a living person.

But why is this man so sure? It's like taking a leisurely walk, isn't he afraid of zombies? Who the hell is so fierce?

The curiosity in his heart made him turn his head to look, the man had already met the five zombies, took out a "squeaky" mouse from the cage and pinched it fiercely.

Blood appeared in the air, like fireworks that suddenly bloomed.

The five zombies seemed to be attracted by the sudden appearance of the "fireworks" and stagnated.

"Don't leave yet!"

Xu Luo snorted coldly again, this time with obvious killing intent in his shout.

Ma Gui shuddered, sobered up instantly, spread his feet and ran in other directions, after running far away, he couldn't help but look back.

A dark shadow walked among the zombies, with fluttering steps.

At this moment, this image was deeply imprinted in Ma Gui's mind and lingered.

Men of God, should I call everyone together with this man?

This thought instantly took root in his mind, and after two more glances, he immediately made a decision and lowered his head and rushed into the darkness.

The timid often feel better than anyone what is a safe choice.

Xu Luo's heart is very calm, everything is under his control, and any changes at present are developing in a favorable direction.

What reassured him the most was that none of the expected changes had happened.

The mice in the cage were decreasing one by one, and more than 20 zombies had already been encircled by him, and began to move towards the teaching building in the fresh rat blood.

The sound of "ho-ho" began to get excited, like an impassioned aria drifting towards the school building.

Xu Luo always kept a certain distance, with a cold smile on his face, but his heart was not calm.

The closer the time got to twelve o'clock, the more uplifted his mood became.

He could clearly feel that he had been waiting for that moment for a lifetime.

After pinching the last guinea pig in the cage, he threw away the cage and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and the moon did not change at all.

Suddenly, my heart was beating fast.

Even if he already knew what would happen in the future, he still couldn't calm down until the critical moment came.

He knew that zombies had no interest in dead guinea pigs, but the smell of blood could draw them towards the future he had sketched out for them.

Walked into the teaching building, bent down and picked up the two cages of mice that had been prepared a long time ago, and continued to take out one to pinch to death, and he prepared two cages of mice on each floor to ensure that these zombies could always lead to the rooftop.

For these zombies, this path is hell.

What does that mean for him?

Xia Yujia remained motionless, keeping the posture of holding the fire axe in her hand, and she did not feel tired.

Her eyes were bright and focused, and there was only the iron door in her eyes.

She waited for the iron door to be opened, and even more so for Xu Luo to appear, just thinking about what Xu Luo would say after opening the iron door.

At the same time, he fantasized about wielding a fire axe and slashing zombies.

Although she had practiced taekwondo, it was not the same thing as swinging an axe to cut zombies, but strangely, her heart was not apprehensive, only focused.

Because of her concentration, she didn't even feel that the moon above her head was gradually dimming.

A pale red appeared in the moon.

The iron door was opened with a clang, Xia Yujia's hands holding the fire axe tightened, and Xu Luo appeared in her eyes with a smile on her face that calmed her mind.

It's just that Xu Luo didn't say a word.

With a smile on his face, he pinched a mouse to death and walked towards her step by step.

After taking three steps and taking out a guinea mouse, he clapped his hands until he walked in front of her, and the last mouse was pinched to death, and after throwing away the iron cage and the mouse together, he clapped his hands.

Still didn't speak.

"Ho-ho"

A zombie emerges from the darkness and steps onto the rooftop.

11:59:30 a.m.

Xu Luo's hand was on her shoulder and patted it gently, very gently. Her hands were dry, a warmth spread from her shoulders to her body, and her tense legs relaxed.

Twenty seconds later, the second zombie moved to the rooftop, reflected in the pale red moonlight.

Xu Luo's hand rested on her shoulder, not moving. She suddenly remembered what Xu Luo had said to her in the laboratory.

- Now, we are a family.

Ten seconds.

There were already five zombies on the rooftop, and Xia Yujia could clearly see the ugly and terrifying faces of the first zombie on the rooftop.

But, strangely, she was not afraid.

Just clenched the fire axe tighter.

Five seconds.

The moon in the sky was still pale red, and Xu Luo's heart was beating rapidly. In his hand, he felt that Xia Yujia was eager to try.

Three seconds, two seconds.

The first zombie was only five meters away from the blood stain left by the last mouse.

One second.

Xia Yujia felt some pain in her shoulder, which made her a little distracted, but Xu Luo said expressionlessly: "Wait, don't worry." ”

Twelve o'clock sharp.

A miracle suddenly happened, and the moon suddenly turned blood red, as if soaked in blood, a little mad.

The rooftop was blood-red, the zombies were blood-red, and Xu Luo's eyes were also blood-red.

It's true.

"Come on."

Xia Yujia's ears suddenly heard Xu Luo's soft voice.

At this moment, she did not hesitate, screamed and rushed up and swung down the axe, which she had already prepared.

The heavy fire axe fell, slashing off half of the zombie's shoulder, and the zombie was still moving.

Xu Luo stared at Xia Yujia deadly, and shouted: "Cut off his head, otherwise you won't be able to kill the zombies." ”

Tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably, and Xia Yujia continued to swing the axe as if she was crazy.

One time, two times......

Blood splattered out, splashing on her beautiful face, adding a touch of bewitchment, but Xia Yujia didn't care and didn't stop.

Xu Luo's eyes didn't move, watching her change.

He is not worried about the blood of zombies, and later generations have already argued that the blood of zombies is not poisonous.

When the zombie's head was finally cut off by Xia Yujia, Xu Luo could see a flame appear from her hand and disappear.

Xia Yujia was also stunned by this sudden situation, and the fire axe fell on the rooftop with a "dang chang", and her face was still full of tears.

She didn't realize it, she just looked at her hands in disbelief.

Xu Luo's eyes were full of joy.

Sure enough, the guess was correct, and I bet right.

What kind of power can you gain?

He rushed forward, picked up the fire axe, and slashed at the second zombie.

His hand was very steady, and the power on the axe was also very strong, and the zombie's head fell in response to the axe, and Xu Luo's heart was beating rapidly.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

Nothing happened.

He glanced at Xia Yujia for a moment, but she was still stunned. Xu Luo looked up at the sky, and the blood moon was a little dazzling.

He turned to the third zombie and let out a loud cry and swung his axe.

Still nothing happened.

His eyes gradually dimmed, and he threw himself at the fourth zombie.

The fire axe began to curl under his continuous chopping, and there were fewer and fewer zombies on the rooftop.

Zombie heads roll on the red ground on the rooftop.

It wasn't until the last zombie used two axes to cut off its head that Xu Luo finally stopped, and the fire axe fell weakly from his hand to the ground.

Xu Luo was buzzing in his head, and he didn't hear the crisp sound of gold and stone clashing.

It's a blank slate.

Why?

Why can't I get special powers? Are you really an outcast from God? Even if you are reborn, you can only survive?

Can't you become a real strong person after all?

He felt so discouraged that he didn't even realize that the blood moon had disappeared, and had disappeared into the sky, hiding behind thick clouds.

It seems that it doesn't want to see Xu Luo's lost appearance now.

The rooftop became dark.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared at the iron gate, and then a man's voice came.

"Here, there's someone, come up."
