Chapter 10: Escape
"Okay, don't be verbose, let's go quickly, if we wait for the living dead on the train to chase after us, it will really become poop", Ling Tao said, and did not dwell on the question of whether Wang Jun had practiced or not.
Wang Jun suddenly wailed: "Don't do this, I just sat down and have to leave for a long time?" I don't have the strength."
Saying that, Wang Jun still stood up decisively, put his backpack on his back, picked up the blood-stained wooden stick beside him and followed behind Ling Tao, but he only took two steps before he staggered to the ground.
"I'll wipe it, what's ......", Wang Jun scolded.
Ling Tao turned around, and under the light of the flashlight, it turned out that Wang Jun had accidentally tripped over the body of a dalmatian.
"A dead dog, where is there so much fuss, get up and leave", Ling Tao urged.
At this time, it was past four o'clock in the morning, although it was early autumn, but it was still very cold at this time, especially when I just sweated and the cool breeze blew, it was colder, but the heart was colder!
Wang Jun had lost the flashlight in the run, and now the two of them were left with the flashlight in Ling Tao's hand to bring light.
"No, in this wilderness, it's on the railway, where is such a big dog," Wang Jun trembled, and immediately stood up away from the Dalmatian corpse and said.
"Who knows where it came from, I was almost killed by it before," Ling Tao said with trepidation.
Wang Jun, who was following closely behind Ling Tao, said in shock: "No, according to the text message on your mobile phone, this is a mutated creature, you can kill it, you are so good?" I can't really see it with the eyes I've practiced! But then again, this dog can't be the dog that the middle-aged woman picked up when we got into the car, how could it come here."
"Mutant creatures are possible, but they are not as terrible as imagined, as long as they find their weaknesses, they can also be killed", Ling Tao said without looking back, as for the origin of this Dalmatian, it is useless to dwell on these.
He can see that Wang Jun is not only timid, but also a chatterbox, and he talks endlessly as soon as he opens his mouth, but in this way, he is not lonely along the way, and he wants Ling Tao to walk along the railway alone in this wilderness, and he doesn't know if he has the courage to go down.
"Let me tell you, when I ran over just now, the car was a mess, almost all the people who died in the car accident became the living dead and climbed up, biting people everywhere, that was a miserable, many people couldn't jump out of the window, but there was gravel below, I don't know how many people broke their legs, it was too miserable......", Wang Jun said babbling beside Ling Tao.
"You say, a lot of people jumped out of the window"? Ling Tao subconsciously exclaimed.
"Yes, what's the fuss about, in that case, the people on the train are still waiting to be eaten by the living dead if they don't jump out of the window", Wang Jun said as a matter of course, and the fact is also true.
"If you don't say it earlier, go quickly, if they jump out of the window, they will definitely attract the living dead to jump out of the window as well, and they will run towards us, go quickly, and if you don't go, we will be finished if we are caught up by the living dead", Ling Tao said in horror, and ran away.
"Yes...... Hey, you wait for me, I can't see it, this black light blinds the ......", Wang Jun chased after him, without a flashlight, it was really difficult to walk at this time.
"Help...... Help ......"
Ling Tao and the two of them, who had already run a few hundred meters, heard a faint cry for help behind them, and there were more than one person, men, women and children, from time to time accompanied by a hideous and low roar, mixed with desperate screams.
Turning around, Ling Tao secretly said that it was not good, on the railway behind, there were some scattered lights moving quickly towards here, most of those lights were sent by mobile phones, obviously someone was forced to jump out of the window of the car and start to flee in this direction with his mobile phone under the threat of the living dead.
"It's not good, let's go ......", Ling Tao exclaimed again, pulling his legs and running desperately.
If someone runs in this direction, it means that a large number of living dead people will be provoked, and the living dead are more powerful than ordinary people, and once they catch up with them, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this time, Ling Tao and the others didn't know about the terrible contagion of the living dead, and if they knew, they might be scared.
Running wildly all the way, coupled with the fact that the two of them were carrying dozens of pounds of packages on their backs, they were really tired, and they ran less than a kilometer, and the two of them were so tired that they couldn't run like dead dogs.
"No, I have no strength, I can't run, I ...... take a break," Wang Jun lay on the railroad on all fours and gasped, and said weakly.
Ling Tao on the side is not much better, although he used to exercise often, but he has not run like this, he is still the kind of weight-bearing, if it is not supported by a belief in survival in his heart, he can't run this kilometer.
"Huhu ......, we can't rest, we have to run forward, once we are caught up by the living dead, it will be over", Ling Tao said while gasping, sweating profusely, his legs were as heavy as lead, and he struggled to stand up and prepare to continue running, but he staggered and sat down again, and he really had no strength.
"Huhu, no, let's throw away the food, this can reduce a little weight", Wang Jun came up with an idea.
"No, we are still three hundred kilometers away from S City, I don't know how long it will take to walk over on our legs, these foods can be said to be our lives, we must not lose them", Ling Tao shook his head decisively.
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the train, and could vaguely see the train lying in the dark in the distance, and most of the lights in the carriage were on, like a strip of light.
In front of the train, some scattered lights were moving quickly towards this side, making Ling Tao's heart sink again, and he stood up with difficulty and said: "Let's go, we have to go, those people have already run over, and they will definitely attract the living dead."
In their position, they could already hear the footsteps of those who were running, and the distance was probably only one or two hundred meters.
As a last resort, the two had to stand up and run towards the unknown darkness again, under the will to survive, no matter how tired they were, they had to move forward quickly, desperately squeezing every trace of strength.
The two ran hundreds of meters again, and because they were still carrying dozens of catties of food on their backs, they couldn't get up fast, but the follow-up footsteps were getting closer and closer to them like a talisman.
"Huh? There was actually someone in front of us who was running faster than us", there was such a gasp and a curious voice behind him, which was clearly transmitted to the ears of Ling Tao and Wang Jun.
"It's not good, I've been caught up, fortunately, it's a human being, not a living dead", Ling Tao's heart tightened and relaxed a little.
Soon after, sporadic footsteps had appeared behind the two of them, reflexively shining a flashlight, Ling Tao found that the person behind him was an adult in uniform, about thirty or forty years old, not far behind this person, sporadically following some people, pulling up a long queue.
The light of the flashlight made the man subconsciously block it with his hand, Ling Tao removed the light of the flashlight and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......"?
The man in uniform quickly ran to Ling Tao's side, and said while gasping: "Hello two little brothers, I'm Li Hua, the conductor of the train, but not now."
"Hello Brother Li, you don't have the physical fitness, and it's only a slight breath to run so far," Wang Jun said with a snort.
"I was a soldier for a few years before I started my career, and my physical fitness has declined too much over the years, so when I was a soldier, I was able to carry fifty pounds and dozens of kilometers of training, what is this", Li Hua said while running, but slowed down and kept pace with the two.
Seeing that the two of them were sweating profusely and ran forward without speaking, Li Hua said, "By the way, I don't know your names yet."
"Hello, my name is Wang Jun, I don't have the strength to speak, I'm sorry", Wang Jun said as he gasped.
"Ling Tao", and Ling Tao only said two words, he really didn't have the strength.
"Two little brothers, if you're tired, do you need help? I still have some strength", Li Hua opened his mouth, and as he spoke, he kindly grabbed the backpack on Ling Tao's back.
Ling Tao stopped suddenly, stepped away from the other party's hand and gasped: "Thank you, but don't need Brother Li, I'm okay, and my bag is not heavy, just some clothes, thank you for your kindness."
"Hehe, it's okay, what about this little brother Wang Jun? Need my help? Look at the way you look sweating profusely", Li Hua didn't care, and said with a casual smile.
"Hehe, no need, I'm not heavy", Wang Jun said with a wheezing smile. He was fat, but not stupid, and in the wilderness, giving precious food to others was tantamount to giving his life to others.
"It's okay, by the way, the people behind are coming up, let's go quickly, so as not to be caught up by those living dead", at this time Li Hua turned around and glanced at it, and then kindly reminded.
Ling Tao looked at it, and sure enough, the nearest person behind him was less than twenty meters away from them, and more people were coming, and the more people came behind, the denser the crowd became, and there was a long queue on the railway.
"Let's go," Ling Tao said, and once again he opened his legs as if they had been filled with lead and ran forward slowly, at this time his legs were extremely sore, and they were almost no longer his own.
"There's a tunnel ahead," the sharp-eyed Wang Jun said immediately when he saw the situation dozens of meters away in the faint light.
"I have run this line many times, if I remember correctly, this tunnel is about 100 meters long, on the other side of the tunnel is a bridge more than 300 meters long, on the other side of the bridge is a mountain area that stretches for hundreds of miles, almost all of them are tunnels", at this time, Li Hua on the side opened his mouth to introduce the situation ahead, as the train conductor, he is extremely familiar with this road.
Hearing Li Hua's introduction, Ling Tao filtered it in his mind according to this information, and then said: "Since it is a tunnel, can we make a fuss about it, I don't know how many zombies will follow behind, if we bet on the tunnel mouth, it will be equivalent to relieving the follow-up danger"!
"This is not realistic at all, not to mention that there is nothing to block the tunnel mouth at this time, even if there are not enough people, and so many people are following behind......", Li Hua decisively denied this idea on the side......!
