Chapter 48: Hu Tao is gone
Who am I?
I am me!
Shirley asked this question illogically, I didn't answer, and I didn't want to talk nonsense with her, my palm was stained with some blood on the wound on my chest, and then I used the teleportation egg to appear in front of her eyes, and slapped her in the face.
The blood touched the black substance in her eyes, which made her immediately scream and want to retreat, I grabbed her shoulders and grabbed her bones, she reached out and waved to block it, but the black substance in her body was still like a plant that had been cut off from water, quickly withered and withered, and turned into black ash in a blink of an eye.
My blood is like a plague that spreads to her, unless she cuts off her own head, but it is probably useless, the speed of Sister Guixiang's death proves that Shirley has no time to deal with it, she may guess the cause of her death, but she has no time to stop the Grim Reaper's footsteps.
I watched Shirley turn into a dried corpse, her death was exactly the same as that of Sister Guixiang, and I thought that the cause of the death of the black substance in their bodies was the blue stone, but now I think this is wrong.
The black substance wrapped the woman's head, if they were afraid of the blue stone, they should not cling to the human head, I looked at my wound that was about to heal, maybe it was Sister Guixiang's self-inflicted cleverness that saved me, the black substance was really afraid of my blood, or some element in my blood.
I'm not special, and I'm not the only zombie I've eaten corpse vanilla, and the only reasonable explanation is my benefactor, and the reason why I'm special is all based on his blood.
Thinking about it this way, most of the natural enemies of the black substance are benefactors, and his identity is so mysterious that I can't help but attribute this special effect to him, but it is indeed the blue stone that makes my physical strength recover and increase.
I cut off Shirley's head so as not to cause any more trouble, and then crawled back downstairs to find Gu Yu and Long Tao, Long Tao had stopped rolling in the corridor and sat quietly against the wall, Gu Yu squatted next to him, I saw that Gu Yu had no other movements, and knew that Long Tao was not in danger now.
Long Tao heard the movement and looked up at the window, I just collided with his gaze, and saw that his face was normal, his eyes were dragged, and he was still his usual appearance, but the snowflake mark on his forehead did not disappear, but it shrunk a lot, about the size of a bottle cap.
"Can you go? Hu Tao was still outside. I jumped off the windowsill, walked up to Long Tao, looked at him and Gu Yu and said.
"I'm not that weak, not like someone who will pass out when they go out to explore." Long Tao held on to the wall and slowly stood up.
"Well, it seems to be fine, let's go, go find Hu Tao."
"Sister, let's take a ride."
"Who is the eldest sister? Uncle! ”
"Okay, Sang Rou's strength has just recovered, don't use teleportation yet."
As soon as Gu Yu spoke, Long Tao wilted, I knew that Gu Yu had good intentions, but now I feel that I have inexhaustible strength, it would be too wasteful not to use it, I shook my head at him and smiled, saying that I was fine.
Then he pulled one in one hand, and instantly appeared in the garage where Hu Tao was hiding, just standing in front of the garage, all of us changed their faces, the door of the garage was knocked down, and there were more than a dozen zombies crowded together, and there were dozens of them around the door.
"Hu Tao!" Long Tao screamed and rushed in first, the zombies around him did not react to his appearance, I looked at Gu Yu, Gu Yu's face could rarely see emotions, but his expression at the moment was more serious and cold than usual.
I think we all know that Long Tao has become a zombie, and my blood is just to upgrade him from a zombie without consciousness to a humanoid zombie.
Long Tao rushed in to push away the zombies crowded inside, and hurriedly ran out, relieved, and said, "Without him, there is a skylight above, so I should have escaped from there." ”
We heard that looking at the roofs around us, the roof of the garage is not too high, if the zombies come around and climb up one by one, they will be able to climb up soon, and it is impossible for Hu Tao to stay nearby.
"What to do? He's alone, and the goal is too obvious. "I asked Gu Yu and hoped he would give us an idea.
"He must be hiding where we know." Gu Yu's bright gaze swept over the surrounding high and low houses, and there were no tall buildings around the passage that Sister Guixiang and the others cleared, which was very unfavorable for hiding.
"Supermarket?!" I say.
"Let's go." Gu Yu seemed to have something to say, but he seemed to have concerns, and his expression of wanting to speak only appeared on his face for a moment, and then it was replaced by resoluteness and determination.
The three of us walked through the group of corpses without any pressure, but in the case of corpses everywhere, we couldn't go fast, even if there was a car to drive, we couldn't drive, and the zombies would be pushed down by the car, forming a pile of corpses, and the corpse pile would eventually become a mountain of corpses, and the truck couldn't roll over.
Gu Yu and Long Tao got three electric cars from the side of the street, although there was no electricity, but it was faster to pedal than walking, and the continuous sound would attract more zombies, we rode down the sidewalk, and returned to the supermarket relatively smoothly.
When the corner of the supermarket appeared in my field of vision, the black head also entered our sight, looking at the rotten faces and dirty clothes, I seemed to know what Gu Yu's unfinished words were.
"You've been here." I didn't use a question, just said the fact that I had already guessed, the supermarket had long been surrounded by zombies, and it was impossible for Hu Tao to break through the encirclement and return to the rooftop alone.
Gu Yu was silent, Long Tao rode a few times, and rushed to the front of the supermarket building, shouting Hu Tao's name, but no one responded to his call for a long time, my heart was very bad, I was the first batch of mutated people after the disaster broke out, so I haven't experienced loss, at least I haven't witnessed this loss.
Hu Tao's disappearance made me finally experience the taste of loss, which was an irreversible despair, but Gu Yu suddenly pressed my shoulder, his eyes shining like stars, shining with unwavering brilliance.
"He's not around, trust him."
"But he is alone, where can he go, there are ...... everywhere" I also want to believe in Hu Tao's ability, I believe that he can escape and ascend to heaven, he is not a weak scholar, he is a battle-tested warrior, but in the face of zombies all over the city, he is weak after all.
Speaking of this, I suddenly stopped, discouragement and disappointment interfered with my train of thought, but fortunately it was not completely short-circuited, I pressed the hand on my shoulder, felt the temperature from the back of Gu Yu's generous hand, and I said happily: "He is at the monitoring station, and the zombies surrounding there must have dispersed!" ”
Long Tao was about to rush into the supermarket, and when he heard my voice, he immediately turned around and rode back, asking, "Are you sure?" ”
I'm not sure, but it's better to have hope than no hope now, and besides, Hu Tao's heart is thinner than Long Tao, he looks stupid, but he is actually a person who is good at using his brain, the zombies at the monitoring station were temporarily called to besiege us, since we have escaped, there is no need for the zombies who have been transferred to continue to guard.
If I were Hu Tao, when the garage was lost and the supermarket was besieged, I would definitely take the risk of going back to the monitoring station to try, because if it wasn't deliberately dispatched there, there would not be a few zombies in normal times.
Gu Yu also agreed to go to the monitoring station to see, Long Tao was anxious, and rode ahead first, he and Hu Tao were like brothers, at this time, they didn't want to delay for a minute or a second, and Gu Yu's speed and I were not much slower than him.
On the way to the monitoring station, I asked Gu Yu what he was doing, this was not a question, just curious, he had been to the supermarket, but Long Tao and Hu Tao had been arrested at that time, and they had not appeared again for a long time, where did he go?
But he didn't answer me, I asked him why he came, but his answer shocked me, he said that Nini asked him to come, I don't believe he would listen to a baby, but the reason given by Gu Yu is very convincing, he said that he naturally doesn't believe the words of ordinary babies, but if this baby can draw a new type of zombie with his hands, and tell him that his mother is in danger, she is worthy of his trust.
I was amazed by Nini's growth rate, and even more surprised by her ability, so I asked Nini what the new zombie she drew looked like, Gu Yu took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to me, it was a napkin cloth from the hotel, and it was made of vegetable soup or soy sauce, anyway, it was similar juice to draw a face.
It's Shirley!
I recognized the person on the cloth at a glance, and it was Shirley with her eye sockets swelling, and there was a black substance dripping out of her eyes, and the portrait was very three-dimensional, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was made of a patchwork of little finger prints.
It seems that Nini is quite talented in painting, she is a little prodigy, but she is far away in another city, but she has a premonition that I am in danger, and she can also picture the appearance of the enemy, this little Nizi has a bright future!
I handed the portrait back to Gu Yu and sincerely thanked him, no matter how powerful Nini is, it is useless if Gu Yu doesn't believe it, he came, although it is likely that he came for Hu Tao and Long Tao, but he saved me, this is an indisputable fact, I am very grateful to him.
The monitoring station is still standing alone on the bank of the river, and the zombies around it are really scattered, only a few dozen are stranded nearby, but they are very scattered, with Hu Tao's skills, it is no problem to rush over.
"Hurry up, the front door is locked, there's an escape ladder at the back of the building, he'll definitely go up from there." Long Tao took the lead, threw the electric car on the side of the road, and ran behind the monitoring station on the lawn.
Before Long Tao could climb the escape ladder, a head poked out from the roof of the monitoring station, and then stretched out his arm and waved at us, "Captain, Dalong, Sang Rou!" ”
Maybe it was seeing Hu Tao alive that made my chest suddenly brighten, and hearing him shout Dalong made me want to complain a little, Hu Tao is called Long Tao Dalong, Long Tao is called Hu Tao Xiaohu, if you look at it from the appearance alone, such a title seems to be the opposite.
"Hey, why is Long Tao called Hu Tao Xiaohu?" I threw my doubts to Gu Yu.
"Long Tao 24, Hu Tao Gang 19." Gu Yu said seriously.
"Huh?? Younger than me? I thought he was 29! I accidentally shouted out what was in my heart, and immediately shut up and looked up at the rooftop, fortunately Hu Tao was busy meeting Long Tao and didn't notice me.
"He joined the army at the age of 16 and is a veteran."
"Oops~ How many sins have you suffered under your hands to become like this......" I muttered quietly, and a burst of sympathy for Hu Tao surged in my heart, it should have been a flower of the motherland, but it withered before it bloomed.
Gu Yu ignored me, ran in two steps and grabbed the escape ladder more than one person high, the starting height of this ladder was nearly two meters, I looked at the two guys who left me, raised his eyebrows and sneered, and instantly appeared on the rooftop.
Hu Tao was happy, pointed to Long Tao's forehead and said, "What are you rubbing on your head, wipe it quickly!" ”
Long Tao's face stiffened, and he looked at Gu Yu helplessly, Gu Yu stepped forward and knocked Hu Tao's hand away, and said, "Long Tao has mutated, and he is now a zombie." ”
