Chapter 69: Crisis
Chapter 69
crisis
Hearing the continuous screams in the tower, I hurriedly ran back, rushed into the tower and picked up a rifle standing on the wall, looking for the sound and rushed upstairs, the screams came from the room of Lao Chen's father and son, I rushed to the door and kicked the door open, only Lao Chen's father and son were lying on the bed side by side in the room, Chen Xin was unconscious and asleep, but Lao Chen's condition was very bad, his body was convulsing violently, and kept screaming, I quickly picked up Chen Xin and put him in the aisle, When he turned around and looked at Lao Chen again, he had already begun to mutate!
Lao Chen's body began to swell gradually, the original somewhat emaciated figure, now has become extremely burly, even the loose camouflage uniform on his body has been propped apart, the skin is even more broken by the rapidly expanding muscles, and the whole person has become bloody, especially his head, the skull forms a sharp protrusion, bursting the scalp to reveal the bones of the white flowers, at this time Lao Chen has woken up, he roared at me, revealing sharp teeth and a long tongue that rolls like a snake.
Hell, I don't know how to describe my current mood, scared, annoyed and even a little helpless, yes, it's helpless, no matter how powerful the enemy is, I've never been so helpless as I am now, and evolution will even have the possibility of failure! This is really unimaginable, now Lao Chen has failed, so what about the others? What should I do if they all fail? Lao Chen had already begun to notice me, he supported his body with his thick limbs, his sharp fingers and claws scratched the cement wall out of the groove, the pair of yellow-brown eyes carefully observed me, and then he approached me very carefully and slowly, just like his previous character, and when he arrived in front of me, he seemed to see that I did not react, and he immediately waved his claws at me.
Seeing the claws coming, I raised my hand and grabbed his wrist, although the mutation made Lao Chen's wrist thicker than my calf, but I still grabbed his wrist firmly in my hand, twisted it hard, Lao Chen straightened up in pain, and let out a miserable howl, no matter how human beings mutate joints, there will still be such a thing, I grabbed Lao Chen's wrist and took two steps back, his tall body was blocked in the door, Lao Chen struggled frantically, and kept beating the wall with his other hand, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from my grip, I couldn't hurt it, I could only let out a roar in vain, I helplessly put the gun against his jaw, hesitated for a moment I still pulled the trigger, and after a crisp gunshot, Lao Chen fell in a pool of blood.
"Fuck!" I threw my gun on the ground in a fit of rage, covering my head and circling around Lao Chen's corpse, I tried to calm myself down, but I couldn't do it anyway, I killed my companions with my own hands, I never thought that such a thing would happen, I destroyed the most powerful enemy, I thought I could live safely with my companions, but now I killed one of them with my own hands, and the others are also in this state of evolution for no reason, which means that they are all in danger of failure, They can all mutate into zombies, do you want me to kill them all one by one? No! I can't! I'd rather die than do it.
God would joke with me, give me a chance to live, push me to the brink of death in the blink of an eye, and let me watch my companions mutate one by one, and then kill them one by one with my own hands, damn it, is God going to play with me? Since I want to play, well, I'm not going to admit defeat, isn't it just death! I should have died a long time ago, if I had lost all my companions and my lover, then life would no longer have meaning to me, since God is going to play a game with me that is certain to die then I will play with it, but I will not let my companions, my lover become zombies and live ugly, I will solve them with my own hands and then solve myself.
Now that I figured it out, I calmed down, I picked up the gun and pulled down the sheets to cover Lao Chen's body, turned around and closed the door, I picked up Chen Xin in the aisle, looking at his red little face, this poor child lost his mother and father not long after, I really don't know what will happen to him when he wakes up, maybe he won't think about it again! But at least I'll protect him for now until he wakes up or dies.
I put Chen Xin in Wen Na and Lele's room, I looked at their mother and daughter, my heart was full of fear, I stroked Wen Na's face, and prayed silently in my heart, hoping that the most terrible thing would not fall on me, if their mother and daughter couldn't survive this I don't know if I could do it, maybe I would die with them, I couldn't watch them live ugly, and I couldn't bear to kill them, I could only die with them!
Await! All I could do was wait, wait for the result in torment, until no one woke up at night, no one mutated, these few short hours were as difficult for me as centuries, only the shepherd flute was with me, it was always with me, it followed me, whether I checked the situation in the rooms or sat here to endure the torment, it never left my side, only one of us and a dog guarded this silent coffin-like tower.
"Crunch" a soft sound, I suddenly looked up to Pauline's room, I clenched the gun in my hand, and prayed in my heart, and finally out of the door was the girl I was familiar with, it was the girl who was a little rude, a little pungent but full of love, my tears could not be suppressed, I threw away the gun and stepped forward to hug Pauline and whispered: "You are alive, it's great, you are alive......"
Pauline obviously didn't understand the current situation, she pushed me away and said in annoyance, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" What did I come back to life? This girl has always lived a good haode. ”
I wiped my face and briefly explained the current situation to her, and Pauline immediately said after understanding the seriousness of the matter: "Gather everyone together, and I will help them complete their evolution." As soon as her words fell, the terrible scream sounded again, and we hurriedly checked to see who had the problem, and it turned out to be Zou Ming.
When we opened Zou Ming's room, he had already begun to mutate, Bao Lin hurriedly pressed Zou Ming's body with white hands, I looked nervously at them and hoped that Bao Lin's Liliang could save Zou Ming, but it turned out that the process of mutation was irreversible, and under Bao Lin's support, Zou Ming's mutation process was significantly accelerated, seeing this, I could only helplessly pull Bao Lin away, Bao Lin stared at me and shouted: "Let me try again, maybe it can be successful." ”
Looking at Zou Ming, whose body had begun to swell and his fingers had begun to become sharp, I shook my head and said, "It's useless, let me come." Bao Lin covered her face and tears flowed out of her fingers, helplessly retreated to the side, and while Zou Ming's mutation was not yet completed, I covered his head with a sheet, pressed his convulsive body, put a gun against his head and whispered: "Let's go, brother." I then pulled the trigger......
Next, Pauline and I gathered everyone in the command center, Pauline stood between them with her hands outstretched, Paulin's body slowly rose, suspended in mid-air, milky white light poured out from her body, and instantly enveloped all the people in the hall, at this time Pauline was as holy as a fairy, her ability has become stronger after this evolution, I finally breathed a sigh of relief because I believe that under Paulin's protection, my companions will not be in danger again, and all I can do now is pray for them.......
The next morning, I took Chen Xin to sit on the edge of the runway, watching Rocky, Pony, Qi Yuhang and Uncle Bao digging their graves on the lawn in the middle of the runway, after this sudden evolution pony's injuries are all healed, but in the current situation, no good news can dilute our grief, the death of Lao Chen and Zou Ming has a big blow to our team, no one thought that we would lose two partners inexplicably in a big haode situation, And the fact that the evolutionary process may fail has also cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
The bodies of Lao Chen and Zou Ming were wrapped in white cloth and placed next to the grave that was about to be dug in Haode, Chen Xin hugged her knees and looked at the corpses on the ground with tears in her eyes, I smoked silently and didn't know what to say to him, I was silent for a while I finally couldn't help but speak: "Your father was sent away by my own hands, although he has mutated but I don't deny that I killed him, if you hate me, even if you hate me, if you want to kill me, you can do it, but until you can defeat me and have the ability to protect Lele and her mother, I will teach you everything I know, and I hope that one day you will defeat me like a man to avenge your father. ”
I could have made up a reason to fool this matter, but my previous life has been too false, I don't want to be in the false after shijie is destroyed, after everyone woke up, I told everyone the truth of the matter, although everyone thought I did the right thing and understood my helplessness at the time, but Chen Xin is the son of Lao Chen after all, I don't know what he thinks about it in his young heart, but I don't want him to suppress his emotions, If he hates me, let him hate him openly.
Soon Rocky signaled that my grave had been dug, and I patted Chen Xin on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, give your father Zuihou a ride, you have to remember that you are a man, and the only thing you can do is to be strong." ”
Chen Xin looked at me, wiped away her tears and followed me to the tomb, soon everyone gathered over, everyone's expression was very sad, this is another time we lost our companion in a short period of time, Rocky and I put Lao Chen's body in the tomb, and Zou Ming's body was placed by Xiaoma and Lu Fengqiu, Lu Fengqiu's expression was very sad, after all, Zou Ming and him have been in trouble for a long time, and the two of them have escaped death many times, and the relationship is naturally deeper, but I didn't expect Zou Ming to leave so suddenly, no wonder Lu Fengqiu is so sad.
After we laid the bodies of the two people, Pauline walked up to everyone and said softly: "Today we are here to bid farewell to our partners, their departure makes us feel deep grief, this is the second time we have lost our partners in a short period of time, which shows that the trials we face will become more and more severe, we must join hands and unite together, overcome all the difficulties that stand in front of us, no matter what happens, we will never give in, even if one day we have to leave, We are also to be filled with love for life and for our fellow beings, and to guard our companions in the dark, just as we did when we were alive. ”
After saying that, Pauline held the pendant on her chest and recited the prayer that belonged to us, Pauline naturally emitted a milky white light curtain when she read the prayer and shrouded all of us, and the moment we were shrouded in the light curtain, everyone's sad mood was calmed down, everyone prayed with Pauline from the bottom of their hearts, and we firmly believed in our hearts that our dead relatives would bless us in heaven, and we ourselves would fight to survive and destroy all enemies.
After the funeral of Lao Chen and Zou Ming, everyone gradually dispersed, and Rocky walked up to me and handed me a cigarette: "Lao Wu, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”
I took a puff of my cigarette and said, "Just say anything, don't mess up all this nonsense." ”
Rocky smiled and said, "Pony and I are going to go back to the army, and we may have to leave for a while. ”
I looked at Rocky and said, "What should I do, when will I leave?" I said hello to everyone, we people are home wherever we go, and we can go anywhere. ”
Rocky hesitated and said, "I guess I'll go back with the ponies." ”
I looked at Rocky quizzically and asked, "What do you mean?" Just the two of you going back? I'm going to just break you up, and I'll dig a hole for you! "I really don't understand what these two guys think, they have nothing to do to go back to.
Rocky stroked his hair and said solemnly, "Actually, we and the pony have had this plan for a long time, but we haven't had a chance to ...... it." ”
"Do you think you have a chance now?" Frustrated, I threw away my cigarette butt and yelled at Rocky, "You think you've evolved twice?" Can you be invincible in the world? Have you ever thought about what the odds are that you two will go out and come back? If you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, how can I explain to Pauline? ”
Rocky took a hard puff of his cigarette and said, "If Lao Wu doesn't let you kill Luo Ao with your own hands, will you agree?" ”
I was stunned for a moment as Rocky continued, "Pony and I are the same, we have things we have to do on our own, and we have to make a break with our past." ”
I sighed and nodded, "Tell me when you go, if you need anything, ask for Yuhang, but you have to come back alive, understand?" ”
Rocky smiled and said, "I knew you were a reasonable head, but we wouldn't need much." ”
I smiled helplessly and hammered Rocky's shoulder and said: "We are brothers, you understand me, I understand you too, but no matter what danger there is, you must protect yourself, if you can't do it, come back and call someone, we are strong now, nothing can difficult us." ”
Rocky nodded: "No problem, if I really can't do it, I'll come back and move the troops, but things shouldn't be too difficult, if possible, we can get a batch of equipment back." ”
I looked at the graves of Lao Chen and Zou Ming not far away and said, "I don't care what equipment I don't care about, as long as you can come back safely, I don't want to add two new graves somewhere." ”
Rocky nodded and said nothing, but I knew he couldn't give me any promises right now, but as he said, he had things that he had to do on his own, and as a brother I had no choice but to support him unconditionally.
