Chapter 8: Saving Lives (1)
Nothing was said all night.
Chen Song slept very unsteadily. He tossed and turned, the last words Lu Li said kept echoing in his head. Truth be told, he never wanted to go back to that horrible hell again.
I took a nap, but when I woke up, I found that my parents and the villagers had become cannibalistic maniacs. If he hadn't closed the door in time, he might have been eaten. Those madmen have become very strong. The doors were all smashed. Fortunately, he knew that a door could not be blocked, so he climbed out of the window in advance and ventured to climb onto the roof, so he escaped. It wasn't until he found that there were many fewer madmen in the village that he thought of running to this abandoned warehouse to hide for a while. As a result, he met Lu Li and Chrissy.
Until he set off, he still tried to persuade Lu Li to give up the idea of saving people. He repeatedly stressed that he had been on the roof for hours, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., without seeing a single survivor run out of his home.
Yes, only zombies.
Lu Li didn't care. In the face of Chen Song's hard persuasion, he just carefully tied together a few steel bars he found and made an iron rod that he could take advantage of. Occasionally, two squeaks are considered a response.
Chen Song had no choice but to persuade Chrissy to let Lu Li dispel the idea of saving people. Chrissy listened patiently to his words. Just when he thought he had moved Chrissy, the latter crackled and uttered a whole bunch of explanations made up of technical terms. Eventually, he was stunned by Chrissy. I only understood one meaning.
There is strength in numbers, and if you want to survive, you must rescue the survivors in the village.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Li tried the iron rod that had just been made. Yes, very handy. Three steel bars with a diameter of one centimeter are in the shape of a zigzag, wrapped around and around with iron wire, tightly tied together, and wrapped in rags and other materials at one end, so that they will not get out of their hands when they exert force.
With a few waves, Lu Li smiled with satisfaction. He looked up at Chrissy, who smiled back. So, he took the lead and walked towards the iron gate, and quickly turned over.
After a while, there were a few soft knocks. Chrissy understood and patted Chen Song, who was struggling. Chen Song was stunned and asked in a low voice uneasily.
"If we enter the village like this, there really won't be any danger?"
Chrissy blinked and explained in words that Chen Song could understand: "You know ants, right?" Ants can lift more than a hundred times more weight than their own bodies. The reason for this lies in their muscle structure. If I'm not mistaken, his current muscle structure is somewhat similar to that of an ant. According to some of the previous real yΓ n numbers jΓΉ, it is not his best state now. Even so, his strength now should be ten times greater than that of ordinary people. β
"Understood."
Chen Song's body relaxed, and his spirit rose a little. Then, the two climbed over the iron gate and came behind Lu Li. Lu Li didn't look back, and whispered.
"Chen Song, you are responsible for protecting Chrissy, and you must not let her be bitten by zombies."
"Okay."
Chen Song replied very simply. He clenched the broken shovel and stood in front of Chrissy with high morale. Lu Li nodded with a smile, and then took the lead towards the village.
After a while, the three arrived at the entrance of the village. It's very quiet. There were no zombies, and there was no movement. There were clotted blood stains everywhere on the ground, and it was clear that there had been a tragedy here.
Entering the entrance of the village, Chen Song became visibly nervous. He looked around and walked forward, not even daring to blink his eyes. Soon, he felt cold sweat in his palms.
And Lu Li's mood at this time was very calm. His heart was beating steadily. He walked into the first house as if he was an acquaintance on weekdays.
It is a small two-story building. There were a lot of blood stains scattered in the courtyard, and there was a foul smell in the air. Lu Li stopped, turned around and made a gesture of silence, and then motioned for the two to wait in the courtyard.
Then he walked into the house with an iron rod. The family apparently has a good standard of living. Refrigerator, LCD TV and much more. Several rooms on the first floor were examined, and no survivors were found.
As soon as he reached the second floor, a female zombie with a black and bloodstained face suddenly walked out of a room on the side of the stairs. The slight sound of footsteps attracted its attention. It spread its scarred hands and pounced sluggishly at Lu Li.
Without waiting for the zombie to get close, Lu Li stepped forward and calmly smashed a stick on the zombie's head. It's like carelessly breaking a light bulb. With a muffled sound, the female zombie's head was deeply dented, firmly jamming the iron bar. Its hands hung limply. If it weren't for the zigzag iron rod that stuck the head, the corpse would have fallen.
"It's powerful."
Lu Li frowned slightly. He is not yet very accustomed to his current strength. Before he was reborn, he didn't have the opportunity to get a human enhancement agent, so naturally he had no way of knowing what kind of journey the power of strengthening the human race had reached.
He drew back the iron rod. The corpse fell to the ground. Gray-white brains mixed with black blood trickled all over the floor. With a wave, he shook off the brains and blood stained on the iron rod, and by the way readjusted to his strength.
Then, he walked into the room where the female zombie came out. This is one bedroom. A blanket was piled haphazardly on the bed, and it was evident that the hostess had just taken a nap when disaster struck.
Glancing around, he was ready to look for it in other rooms. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly noticed a bloody footprint on the ground. The footprint was small and shallow, and it was supposed to be a child. Following the footprints, he walked all the way to the next room.
The door to this room is closed. He pushed and locked it. His heart moved, and he immediately knocked lightly on the door and whispered, "I'm not a bad person. I'm here to save you. β
With that, he put his ear to the door. Soon a barely audible sound of footsteps could be heard inside. The footsteps stopped when they reached the door. He waited for a while, but the door still didn't open. He thought for a moment and whispered again.
"Stay inside and don't make a sound, I'll be right back."
After Lu Li finished speaking, he immediately went downstairs. When Chen Song saw him go downstairs, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him bitterly: "There will be no survivors." They've all gone crazy...... No, turned into a zombie. β
"You all come with me."
Lu Li threw down a sentence and dragged Chen Song into the house again. The three went up to the second floor. Lu Li pointed to the room just now and whispered to Chen Song.
"There's a kid in there. But he didn't know me and didn't dare open the door. You go for it. I'll go to the other rooms to have a look. β
"Kids?"
Chen Song was stunned. He looked at the corpse on the ground, then walked quickly to the door, and said in a tentative whisper: "Xiao Gang, I am your Brother Song, Chen Song." β
There was a creak, and the door opened. A small head poked out timidly. When Chen Song saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Xiaogang, where is your father?" β
"Brother Song. My dad is crazy. He wanted to bite me. My mother was bitten to death by him in order to save me. β
The child named Xiaogang threw himself into Chen Song's arms and cried out. This startled Chen Song, and he quickly covered Xiao Gang's mouth and told nervously.
"Don't cry, those things will be drawn by crying."
Xiao Gang is very sensible. He nodded, no more crying. At this time, Lu Li checked several other rooms and made sure that there were no zombies, so he walked over.
When Chen Song saw Lu Li coming, he hurriedly took Xiao Gang's hand and greeted him. The two walked in front of Lu Li, and Chen Song took Xiao Gang's hand and urged.
"Call Brother Lu."
Lu ...... Brother Lu. β
Xiao Gang glanced at Lu Li timidly, and his voice was almost inaudible. Chen Song hurriedly pulled Xiao Gang over and smiled awkwardly: "He is my friend's son, his name is Chen Gang." I just turned six years old this year, and I'm a little scared of life. But don't worry, he's very sensible and won't drag us down. β
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and soon understood that Chen Song was worried that he would be angry and unwilling to save the child. He shook his head, smiled, and asked a question instead.
"How do I get to the nearest kiosk? I'm going to get something to eat. β
"Follow the main road all the way, and you will see it in more than a hundred meters."
Chen Song saw that Lu Li had no intention of refusing, and hurriedly showed Lu Li the way. Lu Li nodded and advised, "You stay here and don't run around." I'm going to get something to eat. Only when you fill your stomach can you save people. β
Although he told everyone, Lu Li's gaze did not leave Chrissy's eyes. Chrissy nodded knowingly. When Lu Li left, she closed the door, sat on the sofa and closed her eyes, and sorted out the clues of the past two days by the way.
β¦β¦
Outside, Lu Li has no burden of Chrissy, and there is no pressure at all. He moved more quickly, and the wind swept across the road. After a while, he saw the commissary that Chen Song said. With only about twenty meters left, he suddenly stopped, flashed behind a telephone pole on the side of the road, and looked sideways.
There are zombies at the entrance of the commissary, and there are quite a few of them.
The black pressure was overwhelming, and about forty or fifty zombies gathered at the entrance of the commissary. They enclosed the entrance of the commissary, slamming into the closed roller shutter of the commissary. The aluminum roller shutter rattled, but it firmly blocked the zombies' constant scratching.
"Survivor!"
Lu Li's eyes lit up, and his mind quickly calculated how to deal with these forty or fifty zombies. The number of zombies is not too many. The main road in the village is also not wide, and can accommodate two cars side by side. But after the scene where the iron rod was stuck in the zombie's skull just now, he wasn't very sure.
After thinking about it for a while, he already had a simple plan in mind. He walked forward quickly, and was about to reach less than ten meters away from the zombie, and he deliberately accentuated the footsteps.
Click, click, footsteps echo. Suddenly, forty or fifty zombies in front of the commissary turned their heads in unison. Looking at their godless and cloudy eyes, Lu Li rushed forward with an arrow step, picked up the iron rod and smashed it into the head of a zombie at the very edge.
The zombie's skull burst open, and the brains splattered with black blood. Lu Li knocked down a zombie and immediately turned around and ran. As soon as he fled the place, a zombie's gray right hand grazed the hem of his clothes.
Lu Li ran under the telephone pole in one breath and glanced back. At this time, those zombies found their prey and rushed to this side slowly. A smile crossed Lu Li's eyes, and he immediately flew up and climbed onto the telephone pole. When he reached a height level with the balcony of the house next to him, he jumped and jumped onto the balcony.
He kicked open the door and headed straight for the stairs. Before he could take a few steps, a zombie came out of the room. With a single arrow step, he smashed the zombie's head. By the time the body had fallen, he had rushed to the first floor.
He ran to the closed door and listened. The footsteps outside were getting closer, and he quickly opened the door, and then ran up to the second floor like the wind.
He ran back to the balcony and looked down. Most of the forty or fifty zombies had already poured into the door, and only one or two zombies were left dragging their deformed legs towards the house.
Seeing that most of the zombies entered the house, Lu Li immediately jumped off the balcony. The man was in the air, and the iron rod in his hand had already been swept off. With a pop, the iron rod smashed the head of a zombie. Before the corpse landed, Lu Li swept the other zombie with both feet off the ground and flew out upside down. Impartially, its head hit the wall and exploded. Brains and blood flowed all over the ground.
Lu Li didn't have time to pay attention to the zombie that was smashed into the air. He rushed to the door, taking advantage of the zombie's slow reaction, closed the door, and then took the broom leaning against the door, and inserted it into the handles on both sides of the door.
The zombies kept scratching at the gates. The nails rubbed against the door panel violently, making a terrible noise. The gate shook violently, creaking and creaking, stubbornly blocking the onslaught of the zombie horde.
Lu Li knew that this kind of move could only temporarily block the zombie group. He immediately rushed towards the commissary. Running to the roller shutter, he lifted it hard. With a screeching sound of metal grinding, the roller shutter opened.
A group of zombies rolled out of the roller shutter, impartial, and just blocked Lu Li in all directions.
