Chapter 3: Survivors
Night falls.
In the dark of night, the black man Layton was still lying on the ground, observing the situation on the road below by the bright moonlight. Chrissy had fallen asleep. She slept soundly. She curled her legs as if she were lying on a warm bed at home.
For a whole night, Lu Li didn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned, thinking about a very strict question.
Chris? Norton
The name was revered by survivors in the future. Whether it is a large or small force, or a lonely survivor, there is great respect for this name.
Because the owner of this name is a hero who saved humanity from extinction.
"How did she end up in China at this time?"
Lu Li was in a very irritable mood. He didn't know what kind of impact he would have on the world when he was reborn. Three years later, he only knew that Chrissy had successfully developed a human body enhancer in the United States.
It is a miracle drug that brings out the potential of the human body.
After strengthening, humans have superhuman physique and strength. They run faster than cheetahs and have eyesight comparable to eagles. It is precisely because of the appearance of these enhanced human beings that it is guaranteed that human beings will not be wiped out by that mysterious virus and all become disgusting zombies.
Before he was reborn, every human enhancement was a figure that forces large and small tried to co-opt. Having an enhanced human being is equivalent to having a solid stronghold.
It's a pity that the number of human enhancers was scarce at that time. He tried to collect raw materials, but he never got a copy. And now, the inventor of the human body enhancer is actually staying with himself.
He felt incredible. Thinking back to what he saw and heard after being reborn, he suddenly felt a little funny. Before being reborn, I struggled to find a human body enhancer. I didn't expect to be on the same bus as the inventor at that time.
Knowing this, if I had saved more kindness at the beginning, wouldn't I be able to hug the world's number one thigh in the future?
Thinking of this, his mood calmed down a lot. He looked up at the starry sky, and his heart was as calm as water. The past is gone. The important thing is that now, the inventor of the human body enhancer is around. As long as you can get a human body booster, you will have the ability to find your parents and protect them from living their lives peacefully in the end of the world.
Before he knew it, he was asleep. Unfortunately, as soon as he fell asleep, one of Wren's big hands woke him up. It was five o'clock in the morning, and the sky was getting brighter. By the moonlight, he followed Wren's big finger and saw the door of a small car on the highway open. A man cautiously poked his head out of the car.
Survivor!
Lu Li's spirits perked up. Zombies aren't scary. What was terrifying was the astonishing speed and strength of the first twelve hours of the disease. After twelve hours, the zombies could only rely on a huge number to pose a deadly threat to humans.
Zombies have a quantitative advantage, so there is only one way to compete with quality - the number of survivors. There are enough survivors to be able to deal with a horde of zombies that is not much different. As a result, the chances of survival are more than 80 percent.
Lu Li immediately pointed at himself, and then at the survivor on the highway. Then, he pointed to Wren, and then to Chrissy, who was sleeping not far away. He doesn't speak English well, and can only hope that these few simple gestures will make it clear that he wants Wren to stay and take care of Chrissy, the future savior of humanity.
"Well, I understand. You be careful. ”
A somewhat awkward sentence of Chinese that suddenly came out of Wren made Lu Li's eyes widen. He stared at Wren blankly for a long time, and finally held back a sentence.
"Do you speak Chinese?"
"I am proficient in English, French, German, Italian, Chinese and Russian Chinese."
"Uh...... Well, take care of Chrissy. She's important. ”
Lu Li said another word of advice uneasily, and then walked down the slope. Wren watched him descend to the bottom of the slope in amazement, and suddenly muttered to himself in disbelief.
"This Chinese knows Chrissy's identity?"
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He didn't believe that Lu Li knew Chrissy's identity. He prefers to believe that this is because Lu Li is out of kindness, or he is attracted by Chrissy's beauty, and he can't bear Chrissy to become a zombie.
At this time, when Lu Li slid downhill to the bottom. The sound of the mud and gravel rolling down the slope alarmed the survivor in the cart. When he saw Lu Li running towards him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the car door, shrunk under his seat and shivered.
Lu Li quietly arrived at the car, saw the survivor holding his head and shaking under the seat, and quickly patted the closed window. After only two slaps, he immediately stopped.
Zombies have no sense of smell and no sight, while hearing has evolved to an alarming level. Three years later, in the future, it has already been proven that zombies can hear applause from five kilometers away. It's still the kind of casual and perfunctory applause.
These two beats did not dispel the fear in the heart of the survivor. On the contrary, he curled up even more. Even Lu Li was deeply amazed by the limits of the human body.
This survivor is in his thirties and somewhat blessed. The weight is estimated to be around one hundred and eighty. But he shrunk into a ball and stuffed it into the little gap in the passenger seat. I didn't mean to look inside the car, and I couldn't see that there was another person inside.
Lu Li is out of line. The survivor apparently thought he was a zombie. He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and slammed it against the window. The silence of the road, the sound of smashing the car window is so clear and harsh.
After a few slams, the windows shattered. The survivor screamed in fear.
"Don't eat me. I have money, a lot of money. If you let me go, I'll give you a lot of money......"
Compared to the sound of smashing the car window just now, the screams of this survivor were even more piercing. Lu Li was startled, and hurriedly slapped him on the head, while lowering his voice and urging urgently.
"I'm not a zombie, come out and follow me. It won't be long before those man-eating zombies are coming. ”
Hearing someone speak, the survivor hurriedly looked up. When he saw Lu Li, he suddenly seemed to have seen a savior, and he cried for help.
"Help me, I have money, I'll give you a big sum of money. As long as you save me from those things. ”
Lu Li frowned. He reached straight into the car and opened the door. He then grabbed the survivor and pulled him out.
"Don't make a sound, follow me."
Lu Li solemnly admonished, and immediately turned around and ran towards the high slope next to the road. Seeing this, the survivor hurriedly got up, and hurriedly followed, not bothering to pat the dust on his straight suit.
After a short time, the two climbed to the top of the slope. At this time, Chrissy had been awakened by the commotion just now. Seeing that she had woken up, Lu Li grabbed her backpack and took out bread, ham sausages and other food to distribute to the three of them, while urging in a low voice.
"Hurry up and get something to eat. We had to get out of here as soon as it was dawn. ”
Chrissy and Wren did not speak. The two took the bread handed over by Lu Li and ate it silently. The survivor, on the other hand, took the bread and babbled on the other.
"Brother, thank you. My name is Cheng Yun. In the future, you can go to N City to find me. One qiē expense, I covered it all. ”
"Shut up, do you want those zombies to find us?"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and reminded in a low voice: "Those things have highly developed hearing. They have heard the noise of smashing the windows and your screams. It won't be long before those things fill the entire highway. ”
Cheng Yun hurriedly covered his mouth. Although he didn't understand what the zombies in Lu Li's mouth were, he also knew that eighty percent of them were related to those maniacs who ate people.
So, the four of them chewed the bread in silence. With a loaf of bread in his stomach, Cheng Yun felt much more comfortable. He had been hiding in the car since the outbreak of the virus, not daring to look up or get out of the car to see what was going on. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that he was so hungry that he had the courage to open the car door to check the situation. A mere loaf of bread and a ham sausage, where can you fill your stomach.
"Brother, give me something to eat. I hadn't eaten for a day and was so hungry. ”
Cheng Yun blushed, and a pair of eyes slid towards the backpack beside Lu Li. Lu Li took out a loaf of bread from his backpack and handed it over, and at the same time solemnly admonished.
"Save a little bit to eat, and from today on, food has become our biggest problem."
"Haha, brother, you're so humorous."
Cheng Yun bit down a large piece of bread fiercely, and while chewing, he laughed and said, "When you return to N City, I will invite you to Jinbi Brilliant to have a good meal, and then go to be chic." Just that I will repay you for saving your life. ”
Chrissy and Wren quickly looked at each other, and then ate the bread in their hands in silence. But Lu Li ruthlessly shattered Cheng Yun's dream.
"There is no N City anymore. There is nothing resplendent in it. It's the end of the world. Only a very small number of people survived. And ......"
Speaking of this, he glanced up at Cheng Yun, then withdrew his gaze, took a bite of bread, and said calmly, "We won't go to N City." ”
Cheng Yun was stunned. The first few sentences already made him feel incredible. The latter sentence made him panic even more. He hurriedly pleaded.
"Brother, don't do that. As long as you send me back to N City, you can ask for as much as you want. Is 100,000 enough? Half a million? One million, as long as you send me back to N City, I will give you one million immediately. ”
Lu Li scoffed. He finished eating the last bit of bread in his hand, and while packing his backpack, he sneered: "No matter how much money you have in this world now, it's useless." You can't change a can, you can't change a loaf of bread. As I said earlier, the end of the world has come. ”
Cheng Yun's eyes were glazed. He looked at Lu Li blankly, completely unable to believe that what he said just now was true. He opened his mouth and was about to speak. At this moment, Lu Li suddenly quickly covered his mouth and pressed him to the ground hard. Chrissy and Wren understood, and immediately did the same, prostrate on the ground, and poked out half of their heads to look at the road.
On the dimly lit road, a figure staggered and staggered from a distance. After a while, more and more figures appeared on the road. Slowly and steadily, they occupy every inch of the road. In just a minute or two, there were thousands of figures on both sides of the road.
"Oops."
Lu Li watched thousands of zombies rushing from both ends of the road, and his brows furrowed tightly. He thought for a moment, opened his mouth to Chrissy and the others, and said silently.
"Quiet."
