Rise Seventy-One: Escape
These people will show the last grace of humanity in the stronghold, and the last moments of the stronghold will be displayed here in the sound of this artillery fire, and they only hope that someone will remember them at the end,
And Wu Xiao's eyes were very firm, his gaze swept over all the people, and he wanted to remember all the faces of these people in his mind.
In the end, Wu Xiao couldn't bear to turn the realization around, he was afraid that if he looked at it again, he would not be able to control himself and choose to go to the battlefield.
Over there, Howard Zhang finally came to an end alone, all the team members around him died, and no one survived.
Huo Huazhang's body has been completely corroded by the virus, he has black blue all over his body, and blood and tears have flowed from his eyes, and he fell to his knees.
And the inexhaustible tide of carrion corpses in front of Ho Huazhang did not slow down in the slightest, and they walked to the outside of the stronghold, and the huge carrion corpse kicked the door open.
The originally hard city wall seemed to be as fragile as tofu in an instant, and with the shattering of the city wall, a large number of rotting corpses swarmed in.
These creatures are like locusts that sweep through any flesh that can enter their stomachs, and they frantically chew on corpses, not sparing anything to devour,
And Howard Zhang let out a terrifying howl at this time, this howl contained anger at reality, and the despair of this betrayal,
But there was also his last anger as the city lord of this stronghold, and at this time, Huo Huazhang heard a burst of shouts behind him,
Huo Huazhang looked back in a daze, his eyes revealing a look of shock, because it was the people of the stronghold, they were holding weapons in their hands, and they kept rushing towards this side,
Each of them was scarred, but the steps in their feet were firm and bottomless, and even some of the wounded were blown off their legs and directly supported the bodies of their teammates on the side, and the swords in their hands were shining in the sun at the moment.
Everyone's eyes were full of tears, and they resolutely fought against this huge rotting corpse dynasty, and in the end their figures were drowned in the tide of rotting corpses, and they didn't even let out a scream,
The huge tide of rotting corpses instantly invaded the entire stronghold, not letting go of every inch of the stronghold, and finally in the stronghold where the wounded gathered, an explosion sounded, which represented the end of life,
At this moment, Wu Xiao took Chen Xueling and carried Huo Kai to sneak out from the other exit of the stronghold, listening to the loud noise behind him.
Wu Xiao couldn't hold back any longer, his dignified seven-foot man actually cried bitterly at this moment, but even if he cried, he couldn't stop.
Chen Xueling is even more so, she has been sobbing, his brother is dead and can never come back, and he will be alone from now on.
The three of them are like this, they all lost their families on this day, whether it is Wu Xiao or Huo Kai, they have all become lonely at this moment.
But in the last days, they can only depend on each other, and from then on, they will face all kinds of dangers and dangers, and no one knows what their final fate will be.
The same is true of the stronghold 400 kilometers away, maybe a great danger awaits them, but the so-called family affection will not come back,
Even if it is the friendship that lives later, it can't kill everything that has been brought today, and today's memory will be deeply rooted in the minds of the three of them, and they will not forget this past.
If they really forget, then these people are really lost, at least the survival of the three of them, you can remember the heroic history of these people,
The stronghold was completely reduced to a dead city at this moment, and perhaps one day, people passing by the stronghold would find that there were countless carrion corpses inside, and they could not be killed.
But looking at the marks on the walls and the ruins after the battle, they can also subconsciously think of what kind of ordeal this stronghold has gone through, what kind of cruel battles it has experienced,
How many unknown lives have fallen into this defense battle, Wu Xiao is running with Huo Kai on his shoulders, he wants to distance himself from the stronghold as soon as possible,
Because Wu Xiao was worried that the final destination of these carrion corpses was not the stronghold, but to go all the way, but fortunately, the stronghold 400 kilometers away was obviously in the direction of deviation.
Wu Xiao needs to drive all the way to the west, because the vehicles are all damaged, Wu Xiao can only carry Huo Kai forward little by little.
And Chen Xueling is even more so, as an ordinary person, his physical strength is not to mention, but at this moment, Chen Xueling has not the slightest complaint, even if there are many blood blisters on the soles of her feet, when she still gritted her teeth and insisted,
They walked from day to night, and finally stayed away from the stronghold, where they couldn't see any gunsmoke from the stronghold, and at this moment, Huo Kai, who was carried behind by Wu Xiao, slowly opened his eyes,
His consciousness recovered, and it can be seen that this long sleep was due to how ruthless Huo Huazhang was at that time to cut down the hand knife.
Because Huo Huazhang knew that if he didn't do it at that time, then Huo Kai would definitely not flee here, he would not abandon these people, he would choose to die in the stronghold with them,
And after Huo Kai woke up, he found that his eye sockets were moist, he touched his eye sockets, and looked back in the direction of the stronghold, he understood that everything was over,
The closest people have all died, and the position he is in now is also in the direction of leaving the stronghold, Huo Kai whispered in the flawless ear, let me down,
Wu Xiao was also happy when he saw Huo Kai wake up, he was afraid that the city lord's blow to Huo Kai would cause irreversible damage, but fortunately, now Huo Kai has completely woken up,
The three of them began to rest on the spot, the long battle and the long journey had made Wu Xiao extremely tired inside, and now he just wanted to find a place to sleep quietly.
But it was obvious that there was probably a danger lurking around, and he couldn't sleep, while Huo Kai was calmly watching all this, his expression at the moment did not rise and fall in the slightest,
But his heart is actually sad, those fresh lives are dying one by one in front of him, you know, he is a ruthless killer in front of him, he has seen too many lives die,
But for some reason, today he has a deeper sense of the death of life, and he no longer feels that life is a worthless thing.
At least for the stronghold, but it is only within the stronghold, Wu Xiao looked at the two people next to him, and saw that their faces revealed a thick sadness,
But Huo Kai quickly calmed down, he knew that he couldn't continue to be depressed, if he continued to be depressed, then they would be greeted by death.
And now Huo Kai also knows his destination, which is a large gathering place 400 kilometers away, where there is a stronger force, a more powerful firepower configuration, and a stricter hierarchy.
But before that, they had to cross an area of nearly 400 kilometers, which meant that they had to walk through this dense forest for almost seven days.
If it's a sleepless rush, it will take four days, and in the process, you want to have more dangers lurking.
Because this area is beyond their reach, they don't know what awaits them, they may be higher-level rotting corpses,
Maybe it's a higher-level monster, or even a whole new model species, these things are potential threats, and now they need to rest,
Huo Kai also took out some food from his body, while Wu Xiao was shocked, he didn't know where Huo Kai took out the food,
And Chen Xueling is the same, Huo Kai didn't explain anything, the only thing he can believe in now is the two people in front of him, maybe in the past, he would never believe others so categorically,
But now he chooses to believe it, because all three of them survived from the stronghold, this sentence is not unpleasant, they are indeed dogs who survived,
They have too much hope for their stronghold, so they can't die, and Wu Xiao and Chen Xueling didn't ask too much, just quietly ate the food prepared in Huo Kai's hands,
After eating and drinking, Huo Kai asked Wu Xiao to sleep first, and he came to stay on duty at night.
Chen Xueling also showed a painful look on her face, Huo Kai immediately sensed that something was wrong, he slowly took off Chen Xuelin's shoes and saw that the soles of his feet were already blurred with flesh and blood.
It seems that there is indeed a lack of exercise in normal times, and this long trek has worn out the soles of his feet, and at the moment when he takes off his shoes,
Chen Xuelin's face was even more painful, but this little girl looked extremely determined, Chen Xueling gritted her teeth and didn't let herself make the slightest sound,
Huo Kai also felt a little relieved in his heart, Chen Xueling had grown a lot in this day, he was no longer the timid little girl he used to be.
Huo Kai still didn't hesitate, took out a blood volume recovery bead and handed it to Chen Xueling's hand, Chen Xuelin didn't know what it was,
But he knew that Huo Kai would not harm him, he did not hesitate, and directly swallowed the green bead into his stomach, and a cold force swept through his body,
Chen Xueling felt that the wound on the soles of her feet was slowly recovering, and Wu Xiao, who was sleeping on the side, Huo Kai had already given it to her at the beginning.
So now Wu Xiao is sleeping very peacefully, because of the presence of Huo Kai next to him, he didn't feel the slightest fear, because he knew that the young master would protect her at this moment,
Wu Xiao may be tired enough in his heart, but he knows that he can't sleep now, he needs to protect the safety of these two people, and after comforting Chen Xueling, he also asked Chen Xueling to take a good rest.
And set up a simple tent for them, Huo Kai began to prepare for all this a long time ago, of course, he was not thinking about escaping, but thinking about preparing to set off alone,
But obviously Huo Kai found that he didn't need it later, he already liked the stronghold, but he didn't expect all this change to happen so quickly that Huo Kai was not ready.
But fortunately, these intentional or unintentional preparations highlighted its role at this moment, a warm bonfire appeared next to the two, feeling the warmth of the bonfire, the two fell asleep,
Huo Kai stood next to the bonfire like this, his heart was mixed, looking at the blood-colored Tang knife in his hand, he didn't know what it was like,
There seemed to be a flame jumping between Huo Kai's eyes, he was really carrying too much, and he felt this heavy sense of responsibility for the first time.
