Chapter 69: Faith
On the Ring Road, a light truck is speeding through an empty street.
The trucks were loaded with crates of food and mineral water. Chen Song clenched the steering wheel nervously, and his palms were already soaked. He stared ahead without blinking, grunting nervously.
"Let me say okay first, it's the first time I've driven this kind of car."
"It's okay, drive slowly."
Lu Li looked out the window, squinting his eyes and enjoying the strong wind blowing from the car window. He somewhat enjoyed the blow on his cheeks, which made him feel like he was still living in peacetime.
In the second row of seats, Di Yu ignored Chen Song's muttering. His whole body and mind were placed on Yang Yuting next to him. I will ask if I am hungry for a while. After a while, I asked if I was thirsty.
It's a pity that although Yang Yuting has regained her senses, she is very silent. She just stared ahead in a daze, not saying a word. Occasionally she was asked a tight question, and she shook her head and fell silent again.
Through the rearview mirror, Lu Li saw the expression on Yang Yuting's face. The look on his face darkened, and he sighed secretly. Yang Yuting's situation is not uncommon. He doesn't have much to do about this kind of person who can't let go of the past. He had forgotten how many corpses he had collected that had committed suicide because he couldn't bear the pressure.
In the last days, there are too many such people.
The truck traveled all the way and soon reached that intersection. Chen Song stepped on the brakes and stopped the truck. He turned his head to look at Lu Li and asked hesitantly.
"Drive straight in, or stop here and transport back box by box?"
"Stop ......"
Lu Li opened his mouth. With only one word, he hesitated. He looked at Yang Yuting reflected in the rearview mirror in a daze, and suddenly exhaled softly.
"Drive right inside."
"But...... All right. ā
Chen Song stagnated. When he saw the look on Lu Li's face, he chose to believe Lu Li. He restarted the engine. With the muffled sound of the engine, the truck slowly turned around and drove into the intersection.
When you enter the intersection, you can faintly see the back door of the hospital from a distance. Chen Song saw that there were no zombies roaming the street for the time being, so he immediately stepped on the accelerator and sped up the car. Ten minutes later, the truck stopped at the back door of the hospital.
"Let's go."
Lu Li opened the car door and was the first to jump out of the car. He walked briskly to the iron door, and reached for the key to untie the locked chain. With a babble, the iron door opened. He pushed hard to both sides, and then flashed to the side, beckoning to Chen Song to urge.
With a roar of the engine, the truck restarted and drove into the iron gate. As soon as the truck pulled into the hospital, a zombie was already emerging from the corner. In a short instant, one, two, three...... Nearly thirty zombies scrambled towards the back door of the hospital.
Lu Li raised his eyes and quickly retreated. He pulled through the iron door, bent down to pick up the chains, wrapped them around the iron door a few times, and quickly followed the wagon.
In less than a minute, the zombies pounced outside the iron gate. They fearlessly slammed into the iron door, their chains rattling. And after the first wave of impact, they grabbed the iron door and pulled desperately. The chains were pulled with a loud bang, alarming more zombies. In just ten minutes, there were more than a hundred zombies surrounded outside the iron gate.
With a bang, the chain finally couldn't resist the pull of hundreds of zombies, and it was overwhelmed and loosened. The iron door was wide open, and a flood of zombies poured into the hospital. They followed the sound of the engine, and sped forward frantically.
At this time, Lu Li followed the truck and arrived at the hospital building. He heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and pulled out the short stick tied to his waist with his backhand.
"Go up quickly. I'll get these things up there later. ā
"Hurry, hurry, hurry."
Chen Song jumped out of the truck and anxiously urged Di Yu and Yang Yuting. Di Yu was unheard. He carefully helped Yang Yuting get out of the car. was so angry that Chen Song wanted to kick this little ghost's ass.
Finally, when the two of them went up to the second floor through the rope ladder, Chen Song immediately climbed the rope ladder and turned around and shouted, "Come here." ā
Unexpectedly, Lu Li was indifferent, still holding the short stick, and raised his eyes to look at the frantically surging zombies. Chen Song was dumbfounded. Two seconds later, he was ruthless and crawled up. Flipping through the window, he shouted below.
"Are you crazy? Want to fight so many zombies? Hurry up. ā
The shouting stopped abruptly. Chen Song stupidly watched Lu Li rush towards the zombie group, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until Lu Li's heavy tank rushed into the zombie group and knocked down four or five zombies with kicks and belts that he muttered in hatred, turned around and ran upstairs quickly to call someone.
Di Yu looked shocked, lying on the windowsill and staring down blankly. Lu Li rushed to kill in the zombie crowd like a god of war. One by one, the zombies fell one after another. They are poured on lawns and pavement. In less than half a minute, they staggered again, as if they were drunk, struggled to get up from the ground, and continued to pounce on Lu Li.
"I'll go."
After Di Yu was shocked, his face was immediately filled with admiration. He watched Lu Li use the wide space to swim among the zombies, knocking down one zombie after another during his leisurely stroll, his eyes full of envy. He was fascinated by it, and he didn't notice that Yang Yuting had walked to his side.
At this time, Chen Song told the others about Lu Li's pretense. When Chrissy and the others heard that Lu Li was so outrageous, they all put down the work at hand and rushed over.
Di Yuzheng was fascinated. He suddenly felt that his surroundings had become crowded, and when he turned his head, he was startled. When did so many people come? He shrunk his neck and quickly refocused his gaze on Lu Li's body.
At this time, Lu Li had already changed his tactics. He gave up using the small space to move against zombies. He picked up a stick and knocked down a zombie, and immediately turned and ran.
The zombies were willing to let go of the prey in front of them and rushed to him. Not long after, there was such a scene in the clearing below.
Lu Li was running, suddenly stopped, turned around and knocked down a zombie with a stick. Before the zombie fell, he immediately sped up again, and opened a distance from the zombie behind him.
After several times, five or six zombies fell. They have no chance of regaining their mobility. Dozens of zombies stepped on their bodies, tripped and fell hard, and pressed on them. It's like a rear-end collision on the highway. Except for the first few zombies, the zombies in the back rolled into a mess and couldn't get up for half a day.
Running from one end to the other, Lu Li stopped running. He turned back to meet the zombies, taking advantage of the ample space, and slammed the short stick in his hand into their hard heads.
In less than a minute, all four zombies fell. Lu Li strode forward and slammed it. The muffled sound of a clattering skull resounded in the building. Lu Li was like a barbarian, ignoring the splashing black blood, and smashed his head violently. After a while, the heads of the four zombies were smashed to pieces. Black blood spilled all over the ground.
Lu Li solved these four zombies, and without thinking, he faced the other zombies who had just gotten up.
ā¦ā¦
As the sun sets, the lawn and pavement downstairs are covered with corpses. Lu Li stood among the corpses on the ground and shook the short stick vigorously. A few streaks of sticky black blood splattered out and landed in the blood-stained grass.
He didn't have a clean spot on his body at this point. Foul, black, viscous blood stained his body. He threw down the bat and tore the T-shirt off his body with all his might. The back was still stained with blood, and there was no clean place. He threw away his T-shirt and looked up at the second-floor window.
"I'm going to wash and disinfect."
Until Lu Li walked away, Di Yu let out a strange scream, which woke up the shocked everyone: "I'll go, I'm too handsome." Xiaoting, have you seen it? It's so handsome. He actually ......"
He turned his head excitedly. The screaming stopped abruptly. He froze. He saw that Yang Yuting's eyes were a little more bright, and it was almost like a different person than before. After a while, he was surprised and delighted, holding Yang Yuting's hand and jumping and jumping.
"Xiaoting, you finally figured it out. Don't worry, I will protect you and protect you all the time. ā
"Uh...... Xiao Han, did you adjust the frequency just now? ā
"Huh? Oh, I almost forgot. Let's go, I'll check it out. ā
"Ah Song, come with me to inspect the building, don't have loopholes."
In a short time, there were only four people left. Di Yu also realized at this time that he was too forgetful, stuck out his tongue, and became honest. Chrissy affectionately pulled Yang Yuting over, glanced at Chen Yuxin, and walked upstairs.
Di Yu looked at so many people stupidly, and after a while, he dispersed cleanly, and it took a while to come back to his senses. He looked upstairs and downstairs, very confused. After a long struggle, he walked downstairs dejectedly.
"Hey, you wait for me. I also go on patrol. ā
It was getting dark. Lu Li also returned to the building. He didn't care that the food in the truck hadn't been brought in, and walked straight to the real room. As soon as he entered the real yĆ n room, he was very surprised to see that Chrissy and the others were chatting enthusiastically.
Chrissy saw him enter the real yĆ n room, and narrowly squeezed her eyes. Then, in Lu Li's stunned gaze, she exaggerated and half-knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and raised her hands.
"Thank you, merciful God, for coming personally to save us sinners. I look forward to welcoming you back. ā
Lu Li couldn't cry or laugh, wanting to teach this quirky little girl a lesson. When he caught a glimpse of Yang Yuting looking at him, he was deflated, stepped forward and pulled Chrissy and walked towards the door. Walking outside, he lowered his voice and asked with some annoyance.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm just telling you a fact in an exaggerated artistic way."
"What facts?"
Lu Li couldn't help but be stunned. Chrissy walked to the window with her hands behind her back and looked at the moon in the sky. Suddenly, she turned around and said with a smile.
"The girl you rescued has become your follower."
"Believers?"
Lu Li was taken aback. Chrissy seemed to have anticipated his reaction, and shrugged her shoulders as a matter of course: "I talked to her just now. She witnessed her father bite her mother to death. She wants revenge, but she can't. So she chose to escape from herself and close her heart. ā
Speaking of this, she glanced at Lu Li with "resentment", shook her head vigorously and sighed: "Then you appeared, just like an angel." She saw hope and regained the courage to live. So...... She adores you now. Believe that you are an angel sent by God to the mortal world. O God, please send down divine punishment to this sinner who deceives and deceives underage girls in your name. ā
"Don't mess around."
Lu Li couldn't cry or laugh. He turned his head to look at the door of the real room and explained bitterly, "The reason why I did that was just to let her know that zombies are not invincible opponents. It's the same with viruses. I didn't expect her to be like this. ā
Hearing this, Chrissy put away her smile. She whispered, "Don't underestimate the power of faith. Faith is a spiritual force. People of faith are able to do things that people without faith can't do. For example, terrorists who have volunteered to become suicide bombers. ā
She turned her gaze to the real room and continued quietly, "She is also in a similar situation. She lost her former spiritual support. And your table makes her feel hopeful. So you became her spiritual support. In other words, her current faith is you. ā
"The new faith gave her the courage to live. If you insist on destroying her faith...... Then, I am afraid that she will have a nervous breakdown and choose to commit suicide in despair. She was only fourteen years old after all. ā
Lu Li was silent. He avoided Chrissy's gaze and took a deep breath, "Okay, let's do this for now." When you have time, enlighten her. ā
