Chapter 64: Return to the city
Waiting for this subordinate to leave, Fan Yitong wiped a cold sweat and stared directly at the interrogation report placed in front of him. After a long time, he opened the drawer and carefully placed the interrogation report under a stack of papers.
"Damn, the mayor knew that I let go of people related to Dr. K......"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. The cold sweat that had just been wiped off suddenly covered his smooth and round forehead. He hugged Liu Zheng's thigh and climbed all the way to the position of director of the public security bureau. I don't know that Liu Zheng is very good now, and he is definitely a good mayor, but in fact, this good mayor is a small-bellied and narrow-minded person.
"Gotta find him."
He muttered to himself as he wiped a cold sweat and walked out of the office.
âŚâŚ
All police officers in the agglomeration area were mobilized. They roam the streets and alleys, looking for traces of Lu Li. Not long after the riots ended, most of the survivors did not rest. They saw these policemen only when the riots had just subsided, and the government was stepping up the police to prevent them from happening again. Surprised only for a moment, they hurried into their tents to avoid being arrested by the policemen as outlaws.
At this time, Lu Li was like a ghost, walking in the shadows. His keen hearing and excellent night vision made it easy for him to avoid police searches. Even so, it still took him nearly an hour to reach the Zhongshan Road defense line. From afar, he saw Han Qiushui.
Han Qiushui looked particularly incongruous in the middle of a group of big-headed soldiers. No one paid any attention to him. He stood helplessly not far from the fortifications, his face tangled.
He was indeed curious about what Lu Li wanted to take him to see. So here he came. But when he arrived here, except for a few wary interrogations from the soldiers at the beginning, when he heard that he came here at the sound of Lu Li, he had no one to pay attention to. He is like a transparent person, without the slightest sense of zĂ i.
"Is he lying to me?"
He looked around, trying to find Lu Li's figure from nearby. It's a pity that his eyesight is okay, and he can't see too far in this starry, moonless night.
The longer he waited, the more nervous he became. He learned from Ma Fengshan's mouth. Lu Li is a murder suspect. He's just an ordinary graduate student who hasn't stepped out of the ivory tower yet. For the murderer, it is definitely a lie to say that he is not afraid. He was also worried that it would be Lu Li who deliberately deceived him, just to satisfy his desire to kill.
"The commander of the company believed in him, and these soldiers believed in him. He should be a good guy. I have no reason to be afraid. â
Again and again, he comforted himself so much in his heart. After reciting it silently several times, he finally convinced himself that he did not immediately turn around and leave.
At this time, Lu Li walked out of the darkness. He walked fast, light as a wild cat, and did not make a sound. He walked behind Han Qiushui, raised his hand and patted Han Qiushui's shoulder.
"I'm coming."
This shot almost didn't slap Han Qiushui's careful liver out of his throat. When he heard Lu Li's voice, he turned around with palpitations and complained.
"People are scared to death."
"I'm sorry."
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and then said, "Let's go." If it's late, you won't be able to leave. â
"Now?"
Han Qiushui looked stunned and looked back at the dark urban area. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said in a slurred manner: "I think it is more appropriate to leave after dawn." â
"Have you forgotten that I'm still a suspect? The police are about to chase here. â
"Please, brother. I finally forgot who you are. â
Han Qiushui looked depressed. He deliberately avoided mentioning Lu Li's current identity. But Lu Li actually glanced at it as if it was none of his business, and brought it up again.
Do you want to be so realistic?
The soldiers around them couldn't help but laugh when they heard their conversation. I couldn't maintain the attitude of ignoring the two just now. Han Qiushui heard the snickering around him, his face flushed, and he nodded honestly.
"Did you bring anything?"
Lu Li patted him on the shoulder and asked again. Han Qiushui was stunned for a moment, and then asked incredibly: "I just went with you to see the evolved zombie you said, what do you want to bring?" â
"Uh...... It's okay. â
Lu Li was stunned for a while, so he had to walk in front to lead the way, and walked out of the fortifications with Han Qiushui. As soon as the two went outside, the machine gunner Zhang Ziqiang patted his head and hurriedly stopped the two.
"The platoon commander said to prepare some ammunition for you."
As he spoke, he turned back to the ammunition man beside him and shouted, "Hurry up, move the ammunition box that the platoon commander hid over." â
After a while, the ammunition man and another soldier brought two boxes of ammunition each. Zhang Ziqiang led the two of them out of the fortifications, pointed to the two boxes of ammunition and smiled.
"The platoon commander confessed. You are dangerous in the city. These bullets weren't lethal to those things, but they were better than bare hands. â
"Thank you platoon commander for me."
Lu Li was not polite, stepped forward and took the two boxes of ammunition, one on each side, and resisted on his shoulder. Zhang Ziqiang smacked his tongue secretly, and then said seriously.
"Be careful. When you come back from the city, we'll have to ask you for a drink. â
"Okay, as long as you're not dead, you don't come to me. I'm going to come to you for a drink, too. â
"Hey, hey, okay, it's a deal."
âŚâŚ
The city was pitch black, and from time to time there were two inhuman roars from afar. Han Qiushui has never been so close to the city since the outbreak of the virus a few days ago. Even if Lu Li didn't say it, he knew that it was the roar of those zombies.
He said he was coming to see it, but he was really in the dark city, and he had goosebumps all over his body. He hurriedly quickened his pace and followed closely behind Lu Li. But even though Lu Li was by his side, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but have nothing to say.
"Those soldiers are really good to you. So many bullets were sent. â
"Hmm. I've been with them for more than three weeks, and I've gotten acquainted. â
"Uh...... You say those zombies have really evolved? â
When Lu Li heard this, he stopped. Han Qiushui was caught off guard and walked to the front. Just then, a terrible roar came from a building a few hundred meters away. He was startled and quickly retreated to Lu Li's side.
"Brother, count me in begging you. Don't be so scary, okay. I'm timid. â
Han Qiushui complained in a low voice. Nowadays, the secret of zombies' highly developed hearing is no longer a secret. He also knew that speaking loudly would attract zombies, so he took the initiative to lower his voice.
"You still don't know that zombies are evolving at a high speed?"
Lu Li ignored his complaints, and asked in a straight whisper, "The government hasn't organized scientific researchers to conduct research?" â
"I've been researching it all along."
Han Qiushui looked at Lu Li with a puzzled expression. The latter's pupils, which shone like cat's pupils, made him shiver and quickly looked away.
Lu Li was stunned. He frowned slightly and muttered for a moment, then asked in a low voice again, "You have always stayed at the research institute before?" â
"yes."
Han Qiushui nodded as a matter of course. But for a short moment, he hung his head in frustration and complained, "Originally, I thought that the radio wave I found would be a heavy breach. As a result, I was sent out by Professor Hu. I'm too whimsical about what else to say. I'll go, it's called whimsical? I'm an exploratory. â
The more he spoke, the more resentful he felt, and even his fear was temporarily forgotten. Lu Li saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became, and raised his hand to stop him: "I'll talk about these later." I'll take you to the stronghold first. â
Han Qiushui was on the rise, and was interrupted by Lu Li like this, so he closed his mouth proudly, and honestly followed Lu Li into the dark urban area.
Under the dark night, the two of them quickly forced themselves on Zhongshan Road. Lu Li keenly avoided the wandering zombies one by one, and walked quietly with Han Qiushui.
About two hours later, the dimly lit hospital building came into Lu Li's field of vision. When Han Qiushui saw the light, he was excited in his heart.
He was blind in the darkness of the night. From time to time, he heard a roar close at hand, and although his eyes couldn't see, he knew that the zombies were not far away. Walking with zombies, such an experience made one of his hearts almost jump out of his throat. Well, now I finally see the lights.
The hospital was in front of him, but Lu Li didn't move on. He saw a lot of zombies outside the hospital. They wander outside the hospital, but they don't walk into it. Completely blocked the way of the two of them.
Lu Li frowned, his face a little ugly. After a while, he put two boxes of bullets on the ground and hurriedly whispered, "Come up, I'll carry you and rush over." â
Han Qiushui's face turned pale suddenly. He couldn't see the zombies wandering outside the hospital. But he could hear it. The frequency of the roar not far away was noticeably higher than the stretch of road just now. Apparently there are more zombies ahead. He immediately shook his head vigorously.
"I ...... We'll go back and forget it. We'll come back when it's dawn. There's no need to take any chances. â
"It's late. They've found us. â
Lu Li couldn't help but throw Han Qiushui on his back, and whispered: "Hold me tight, if you fall, you will die." â
Han Qiushui was suddenly stupid. Where do you dare to talk nonsense. He hurriedly hugged Lu Li tightly, and prayed silently in his heart: "God bless." I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. Our old Han family hasn't been left yet. â
At this time, Lu Li moved. He carried Han Qiushui, a big man of more than 100 pounds, on his back, and he was still as agile as a cheetah. With a force under his feet, he immediately rushed out.
He did not deceive Han Qiushui. Zombies roaming outside the hospital did spot them. One by one, the zombies opened their red eyes and roared and rushed towards Lu Li.
As soon as the nearest zombie approached, Lu Li rose into the air and kicked the zombie out, knocking over the two zombies directly. Taking advantage of this little space, he exerted another force, and before the three zombies had time to get up, the wind swept by.
Several times, the two have approached the gate of the hospital. At this time, Liu Qiang and the others also discovered the movement outside the hospital. After being injected with human body enhancers, they also have night vision beyond ordinary people. Seeing that it was Lu Li's return, several people hurriedly pushed away the obstacle and made an entrance.
At this time, Lu Li kicked a zombie away, and rushed into the hospital with an arrow. In a short moment, a large number of zombies came like a tide, clinging to him.
Hearing the roar that was getting closer and closer behind him, Lu Li took a deep breath, tried his best, and exerted his strength again. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the distance of five meters and opened up the distance between him and the zombies. After a few jumps, he finally rushed into the entrance before the zombies swarmed.
As soon as he came in, Liu Qiang and the others hurriedly joined forces to block the entrance. In a few moments, the dense group of zombies was like a group of crazy bulls, banging loudly.
Lu Li gasped, trying to calm the turbulent qi and blood. At this time, Chrissy hurried down from the second floor when she heard the news. The man was still on the stairs, and the sound had arrived.
"Lu Li, we're in trouble."
