Chapter 4: Trapped
There are a lot of zombies.
Thousands of zombies crowd the highways. They opened their godless eyes and slowly rushed towards Cheng Yun's Mercedes-Benz. By the time the sun rose in the east, there were no less than 600 zombies gathered around Mercedes. Dense zombies gallop around, like a swarm of ants around a small piece of bread, studying how to eat.
Farther away, an unknown number of zombies were slowly approaching from all directions, bathed in the morning light. It is estimated that in less than half an hour, this high slope will become an island in the sea.
Lu Li's heart was pounding fast. He had expected that the zombie horde would be attracted by the commotion that had been made before. But he didn't expect to attract so many zombies. According to the experience after three years, most of the zombies should be attracted by the bustling and noisy N City.
If there were only a few dozen zombies, he would not hesitate to break through with Chrissy and a few others. If there are hundreds of zombies, he dares to fight his way out of the encirclement alone. But now there are thousands of zombies, and there is Chrissy. He didn't want Chrissy, a young girl with a pivotal position in the future, to take risks.
He chose to wait.
"Be quiet."
Lu Li made a silent lip shape, reminding Chrissy and Wren. The two of them understood, and quietly shrank back again, revealing only a pair of eyes to observe the situation on the road below.
But he ignored Cheng Yun. He thought that he had covered Cheng Yun's mouth, which was already a very obvious reminder. As long as it lasts for a day or two, the zombies below will automatically disperse because they can't find humans. That's when the breakout was due.
Cheng Yun was scared. His face was pale, and a trace of blood had been removed from the two loaves of bread he had just eaten. Especially when he saw his Mercedes Benz surrounded by black zombies, his spirit finally collapsed.
"I don't want to die!"
Cheng Yun screamed hysterically, broke free from Lu Li's hand, jumped up, grabbed the backpack full of food, and ran to the other side of the slope. It was just as steep, with a man-high thicket of bushes and weeds below. Originally, Lu Li also planned to break through from here after most of the zombies dispersed.
"Damn."
Lu Li scolded secretly, and immediately jumped up and rushed towards Cheng Yun. Chrissy and Wren were taken aback by Cheng Yun's actions and looked at the two in the chase in a daze.
Cheng Yun ran to the edge. He looked at the steep slope more than ten meters high and subconsciously stopped. He hurriedly turned around and screamed in panic at Lu Li.
"Don't come, don't come."
"Grass mud horse, you can go if you want, return my backpack to me."
Lu Li also dispelled the idea of going on the road with Cheng Yun at this time. His face was pale, and he approached Cheng Yun step by step. The latter turned pale and subconsciously retreated. As soon as his hind foot stepped into the air, his body shook and he almost fell.
As the saying goes, a dog jumps off a wall in a hurry.
Cheng Yun saw Lu Li approaching, and hugged his backpack in a panic. He already knew the importance of food, and he was reluctant to give up such a large bag of food. He said with a trembling voice, a fierce and inwardly threatening voice.
"Warning you not to come closer. You're welcome to come any closer. ”
Lu Li didn't speak. He strode forward, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to two meters in front of Cheng Yun. Seeing that he was about to snatch his backpack back, there was a crisp gunshot, and he froze and stopped.
"You...... You even have a gun. ”
He looked at the May Fourth pistol in Cheng Yun's hand in disbelief. A sharp pain in his abdomen surged, and he subconsciously looked down. A blush on the white shirt quickly spread.
"I've warned you not to come near me. You forced me. ”
Cheng Yun clenched the pistol tightly and shouted frantically. It was also the first time he had shot and killed, and his right hand trembling with the gun.
Lu Li was already a little unable to hear Cheng Yun's shout at this time. He was in a trance, and his eyelids became extremely heavy. He staggered a step and reached out to stubbornly grasp Cheng Yun in front of him.
Bang bang!
Two gunshots rang out in a row. Lu Li was carried to the sky by the momentum of the bullet and fell to the ground. He had two more bullet holes in his chest. Crimson blood poured out, staining the white shirt.
"Ah...... Hey...... Hahaha......"
Cheng Yun looked like crazy and let out a terrible laugh. It was the first time he had killed someone. But he doesn't regret it. He is reluctant to give up his mansion, let alone nearly 100 million assets. He just wants to escape this hell alive and return to the safe, welcoming city of N.
Wren and Chrissy witnessed this scene, and their faces showed a hint of surprise. They are all China experts and know that guns are controlled products in China. Unlike in the United States, where it is legal to own a firearm.
"Don't move, all of you. Whoever moves me will kill him. ”
He didn't care if Chrissy and Wren could understand it or not, and pointed a gun at the two of them and yelled frantically. Wren subconsciously touched the back of the waist. There was also a pistol there, and it was a high-powered M1911 pistol.
Bang.
Gunshots rang out. A puff of smoke and dust rose half a meter in front of Wren. Wren had to raise his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.
"Hahaha......"
Cheng Yun shocked Wren and laughed proudly. He understands now. At this moment, the gun in his hand is a qiē. With a gun, he was able to do whatever he wanted.
At this moment, Chrissy suddenly raised her hand and pointed down the slope. Cheng Yun's wild laughter came to an abrupt end. He pointed his gun at the two men and moved to the other edge to look down. At this glance, cold sweat broke out.
At this time, no less than 300 zombies had gathered at the bottom of the slope. The screams and gunshots just now attracted the zombies on the highway.
Cheng Yun's face was pale and bloodless. He hurried to the other side. That's when Wren seized the moment. With a backhand, he grabbed the M1911 and took aim and shoot.
Gunshots rang out. Cheng Yun screamed, and the whole person rolled down the high slope. Wren immediately got up and rushed forward, holding a gun in both hands and firing two shots at Cheng Yun, who was about to roll to the bottom of the slope.
Cheng Yun screamed and rolled into the lush grass. Wren was about to determine Cheng Yun's life and death, when Chrissy's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Wren, that's enough. Now the important thing is to save him. ”
Chrissy crouched beside Lu Li. After some inspection, her brow furrowed tightly. Lu Li was shot three times in the body, and one shot in the abdomen pierced the liver. Two shots in the chest pierced the lungs. At this point, there is no breath.
Wren squatted down, familiarly tested Lu Li's breath, and felt his pulse again. Finally, he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He's hopeless." ”
Chrissy was silent. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. Suddenly, she smiled. She looked up, looked at Wren and chuckled, "Not necessarily. ”
With that, she went back to her satchel and pulled out a metal locket. It is a box with exquisite workmanship. The word NS is printed on it. She opened the locket, and inside lay a metal syringe. When she saw the word NS printed on the syringe, the smile on her face froze. A trace of remorse and panic flashed in his eyes.
"Chrissy, he's dying."
Wren saw Chrissy standing motionless and reminded him. Chrissy's eyes were clear, and she immediately changed into a relaxed expression and turned back to Wren's side.
"This is the latest new drug developed by NS Company?"
Wren watched Chrissy grab Lu Li's right arm and inject the liquid in the syringe, and couldn't help but ask curiously. Chrissy smiled but said nothing. After a while, she pulled out her needle and commanded Wren.
"Help me hold him down."
Wren didn't move. Seeing this, Chrissy casually threw the syringe aside, sat on the ground and explained: "Yes, this is a new drug, which can greatly activate human cells and achieve self-healing effects. However, this new drug has not yet been clinically proven, and the drug may be more powerful. ”
After getting a satisfactory answer, Wren made a move and held down Lu Li hard. Chrissy saw a hint of worry in her eyes. She didn't tell the truth. She didn't want Wren to know the truth.
At this time, Lu Li's body changed.
The green tendons quickly protrude under the skin, wriggling like living creatures. With the peristalsis of the blood vessels, Lu Li's whole person trembled as if he had been electrocuted. The power was so great that even Wren almost couldn't hold him down.
After more than ten minutes, the expression on Lu Li's face gradually calmed down. The whole person no longer trembled, and he breathed again. Wren saw his chest rise and fall slightly, and then let go of his hands.
He regained his heartbeat. This medicine works very well. ”
Chrissy did not respond. She sat next to Lu Li, with another notebook in her hand. She sometimes frowned slightly to observe Lu Li's situation, and sometimes wrote a few words in her notebook.
Wren has followed Chrissy for many years and knows her habits. So, he stood up and walked to the edge of the slope to look down on the zombies below who were trying to climb the steep slope.
The slope is steep, almost sixty degrees. The zombie's movement was stiff and slow, and it was difficult to climb this steep slope for a while. Overall, it's safe for now.
Half an hour later, Lu Li groaned and woke up. Seeing him open his eyes, Chrissy quickly put away the notebook in his hand, stopping him from wanting to get up.
"Don't move. Cell activity is now at its peak. ”
"Cell viability?"
Lu Li was stunned. Suddenly, a word popped into my head.
Human Strengthener!
His eyes widened, and his heart was full of surprise. He clearly remembered that Chrissy had only succeeded in developing the human body enhancer two years later. How do you already have a human body enhancer?
While her thoughts were in turmoil, Chrissy had already begun a series of checks. Flip your eyelids and look at your pupils with the help of the flashlight function on your phone. Finally, she juggled a test tube with a needle out of her pocket. Under Lu Li's suspicious gaze, she directly pierced the needle into the bulging blood vessel on Lu Li's right arm, and drew about ten milliliters of blood.
Pulling out the needle, Lu Li was even more surprised. The pinhole in the right arm was healing at a rate visible to the naked eye. In just a few minutes, the pinhole had disappeared without a trace.
"Human body enhancer, this must be a human body enhancer!"
Lu Li's mood was agitated, and his body trembled slightly. Rapid wound healing is one of the distinguishing features of human strengtheners. He couldn't believe his luck was so good. The end has just come, and I have actually received the human body enhancer that everyone will be eager to do in the future.
At this time, Wren, who was not far away, urged him to wake up from his ecstasy.
"They're coming up."
Lu Li was shocked, and quickly stopped Chrissy, who wanted to go over to find out, and got up and rushed over. Walking to the edge, he looked down and gasped.
The zombies below the slope were stacked in layers, and the top one was less than two meters away from the top of the slope.
