Chapter 69: The Zoo
As the saying goes, adversity sees the truth, and when it comes to life and death, I must stand up and take this shot for Gu Yu, who is in danger alone to help me save people.
Gu Yu glared at Wen Boran, facing a madman with the mentality of harming others and not benefiting himself, it was useless to threaten or reason now.
"Don't bother, your needle will be useless when we are blown up." Gu Yu reminded.
Wen Boran and Gu Yu glanced at each other, and I could see that he was hesitating, holding the needle to scan between me and Gu Yu, his bloodshot eyes rolling back and forth, as if to gauge who would be more suitable for this needle.
I noticed that his body was leaning in the direction of Gu Yu, and immediately took two steps and rushed up to grab it, but as soon as I moved the giant corpse, I followed and retracted my fingers, although Gu Yu didn't say a word, but I knew that his arm was almost pinched off, and I could even hear the creaking sound of the bones being squeezed.
"You'd better not be impulsive." Wen Bo's hoarse voice was extremely gloomy, his whole person was in a state of madness that was fast to the limit, and the muscles and muscles on his face twitched slightly.
"OK, I don't move, you let it tap." I took two steps back with my hands up, and stood back in my position.
There are only three minutes left in the countdown, and we have three minutes to run out of the exploding factory, and the time is very short, and we don't have time to grind with Wenbo.
Wen Boran's expression relaxed, as if he wanted to say something, but Gu Yu interrupted him, no matter which of us is pierced by this needle, we must leave time to escape, Gu Yu knows this very well.
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes evasively, not wanting to watch Gu Yu being pierced, and my mood was almost the same as when I watched a certain Gege back then, I had to skip the part where Ziwei was pierced.
Suddenly, I felt a gust of wind blowing in my face, I opened my eyes and wanted to dodge, but I was clasped by the other party's shoulder, Wen Bo's enlarged green face appeared in front of me, I instinctively swung my fist to fight, but he turned his head to dodge.
A blow missed, the upper arm suddenly came with the pain of a needle prick, looking down at the liquid in the needle tube has bottomed out, I feel bad in my heart, I want to say when the speed of Wenbo dyeing is so fast that my eyes can't see clearly?
I wanted to take this needle for Gu Yu, and the attack and dodge were just instinctive reactions to the crisis, so I didn't panic when I saw the suspicious liquid in the needle tube being injected into my body.
Wen Boran let go of the needle and flashed back to Gu Yu, this guy actually used my teleportation egg, but I obviously said that I would cooperate with him, why did he play this game with me?
"Captain Gu, you should thank me, if the ancient genes are successfully fused in her, you will have one more bride candidate, maybe the old guys in the safe zone will arrange for you to enjoy the blessings of all people, this is the treatment that many men dream of."
"The needle is also hit, you can release the person after you finish talking nonsense, or we will all finish playing in a while." I listened to the sound of a countdown from above in less than two minutes, and hurriedly urged.
"OK, Ah Da, let go." Wen Boran gave an order with a smile, and the giant corpse let go of Gu Yu, who expected Gu Yu to rush in front of Wen Boran with an arrow step, attacking Wen Boran with one hand, and reaching out to his jacket pocket with the other.
It was too late for the giant corpse to stop it, but Wenbo was dyed with a teleportation egg, thinking of the teleportation egg, I suddenly realized that Gu Yu was trying to snatch back the teleportation egg, and the thought flashed through my mind at this moment, and my body and consciousness also reached synchronization, and at the moment I thought of it, I leaned over and rushed to help Gu Yu.
But we still can't compete with the speed of the teleportation egg, although Wen Boran was punched by Gu Yu in a sudden situation, he also kept the teleportation egg in his pocket.
"We can't get out without teleportation eggs." Gu Yu's bright eyes stared at Wen Boran like a lone wolf, not to mention him, at this moment, I couldn't wait to rush up and bite Wen Boran to relieve my hatred.
"Look, what are you anxious about, since I gave you the last extracted gene, how could I watch you die?" Wen Boran raised his wrist as he spoke, glanced at his watch, and the fluorescent second hand moved to 12 o'clock one by one.
Gu Yu suddenly turned his head to look at me, held my shoulder, and said solemnly: "Sang Rou, no matter what happens, you must stay calm. ”
I was confused by his words, nodding habitually, but I was actually at a loss in my heart, and then Wen Boran laughed and took out the teleportation egg in his pocket and threw it to me.
"You know that there are powerful guys up there, it will track the smell of human beings, there are no dead ends within three kilometers, I don't know if it's too late for you to rush back to save people now."
I caught the teleportation egg, and pulled up Gu Yu is a few consecutive moves, it turned out that Wen Boran wasted time chatting with us, he wanted to delay time and use up the countdown to the factory explosion, he didn't want to monopolize the teleportation egg from the beginning, he was forcing me......
Gu Yu understood Wen Boran's intentions one step ahead of me, so he reminded me to stay calm, Wen Boran definitely didn't have enough time for me to rush back in time to save my parents, and when we were discussing with Wen Boran who should use the ancient corpse gene, the thing that killed the swallowtail had already gone to track down the survivors.
Wen Boran is not a real madman, if he can be crazy, it is only his research, he is not doing this to play a game of life and death with me, I believe it must be related to the ancient corpse gene.
As the countdown ticked to zero, a dazzling cloud of fire rose behind us, engulfing buildings, trees, and abandoned fields within a two-kilometre radius.
Gu Yu and I were overturned by the air current, and we both fell to the ground, the hard clod of earth smashed our heads and faces, my ears were buzzing, my head was numb, and countless stars flew in front of me, but I knew that there was no time, I couldn't sit down, I couldn't rest, I couldn't wait for my body to slow down and then move.
Gu Yu pulled me up and carried me on my back, I wanted to cry, but my eyes were dry and painful, and it was too late, I couldn't concentrate on using the teleportation egg at all.
"Daughter, run~" Vaguely I heard my mother's voice, thinking it was an auditory hallucination caused by a concussion, until the voices of my father and other survivors came one after another, and they were all shouting 'run' at me.
Gu Yu's arm tightly wrapped around my leg, turned around and ran in the other direction, I was already dizzy to death, and my brain was even more dizzy when I was tossed like this.
"Your parents are fine, there are zombies." Gu Yu explained to me as he ran.
"Where's the monster?" I was thinking about the monster that could only break through the elevator door, worried that it would catch up with my parents, and at the moment I couldn't even turn my head, let alone look behind me.
"I don't see it." Gu Yu turned his face again and glanced behind him, my parents and other survivors were behind, they didn't have any burden on them, but they still couldn't run away with the weight of Gu Yu, so they could only try to keep up with him.
The air was filled with the smell of zombies, as if the sewer manhole cover of an entire street had been pried open at the same time, just listening to the sound of 'rushing' footsteps behind, you could imagine the number of these zombies, estimated to be enough for an infantry division.
Black plumes of smoke rose from the burning processing plant and soared into the sky, and the seventeen survivors, plus Gu Yu and me, raced against nearly 10,000 zombies against this bleak background.
Falling behind is fatal, fortunately there are no old people and children among these nineteen people, my parents were sprinters on the school team when they were young, and then they joined the work, and then I became an adult, they have been running and exercising all these years, and now it seems that the sword is not old, and when they run for their lives, they can run faster than those two young girls.
"Put me down, I feel better." The super physical strength of the high-level zombies allowed me to recover from the symptoms of concussion in only five minutes, and the two girls who were left behind obviously began to lose their strength, slowed down, and soon were caught by the zombies running in front.
"Sure? Don't be pushy. Gu Yu said with some unease.
"I want to save people, not everyone dies together, rest assured~" I patted Gu Yu on the shoulder, signaling that he could put me down.
As soon as my feet landed, Gu Yu also gave up the first place, and he ran to the back of the line and knocked out the zombies that were close to the team.
I grabbed the hands of the two girls as I ran, and led them to teleport fifteen kilometers away, I didn't know it existed until I got there, and now that the three of us were in it, we knew it was a survivor camp.
Eighteen kilometres away, this camp is located on the edge of the countryside and is a local zoo – who would have thought that there would be people hiding in the zoo!
But now I didn't have time to observe, so I left the two girls where they were, turned back and saved the others, and when I had brought the rest into the zoo, the two girls had already told the camp's keepers that there was going to be a great disaster.
No one knows where the zombie army came from, when it gathered, why it moved in this direction, but at the speed of their progress, it won't take long to pass through this camp, and then the smell of the living will lead them here, and the hundred and ten people in the camp and the limited number of cold weapons are not enough to stuff their teeth.
Our arrival was not welcome, and many people thought that we had attracted the zombies and asked the principals to kick us out.
Gu Yu has seen the terrain of the zoo, there are high walls and iron cages, it is suitable to fight against the zombie army at the moment, if we leave, life and death are not yet known, but those who stay here will definitely die.
These survivors are all zoo staff or tourists, they have no common sense of fighting, they have stayed in the park since the outbreak of the end times, the ingredients in supermarkets and food stalls have been eaten up, and they rely on the animals in the cage to maintain to this day, no one has ever fought with zombies, and in the face of the sweeping zombie army, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold out for a minute.
The head of the camp is the zookeeper, and Gu Yu persuaded him to organize the survivors to hide in the rooms used for the animals to spend the winter, and the cages not only prevent the animals from escaping, but also prevent humans from entering, and now using these cages and rooms is the only way to save the survivors.
Only by ensuring temporary safety can I use the Teleportation Eggs to send them somewhere else and avoid the path of the zombie hordes, but the key issue now is trust.
The survivors here are hostile to us, and some think we're lying, trying to occupy their camp and deliberately trying to trick them into cages.
I can understand how insecure it can be to be caged in front of strangers, so I suggested that the seventeen survivors on our side could be spread out and locked up with their people in groups of two.
However, my proposal was regarded by them as an ulterior motive, and many people believe that there are people with special abilities like me among our people, and when they are locked up, our people are going to be killed, where are they going to flee?
I want to say why go into the cage if we want to kill them? But in order to avoid delay, I swallowed my breath and didn't say anything.
It is true to be cautious in the last days, but stubbornness is self-defeating, I was about to give up talking nonsense with them and take our survivors away, Gu Yu stopped me when he saw this, he glanced at me, and in a flash of his body, he grabbed the person in charge and told me to take him to 'seeing is believing'.
Sometimes it's useless to just rely on words, I understand what Gu Yu meant, and he teleported out after holding the person in charge with a pale face, and when the oncoming zombie army was close in front of me, and the rotten faces were twisted and opened their mouths and bared their teeth towards us, I suddenly smelled a stench wafting around me.
I took it when I saw it, I was afraid that it would really scare him to death, and there would be no witnesses at that time, so I took people back to the zoo.
The person in charge was paralyzed on the ground and his hands were trembling, and the smell of feces and urine could be smelled by the people around him, and he couldn't care about it, so he exclaimed after a few seconds: "Hurry, everyone run, there are monsters coming, there are so many monsters!" ”
With his roar, the scene suddenly lost control, and the survivors who had gathered around scattered and fled like a flock of frightened birds in the forest, without giving Gu Yu a chance to speak.
Not only did these people not flee into the sturdy cage, but they fled to the various exits leading to the outside of the park, no matter how fast Gu Yu ran, it was impossible to catch up with the survivors who were divided into eight shares at the same time, he looked at me as if asking for help, and I nodded helplessly.
Use teleportation and violence to forcibly throw survivors into cages and lock them, if they are all locked in a cage, when the zombie army arrives, they will concentrate on attacking that cage, even if there is an iron fence, it is estimated that it will not last long.
So I divided them into eight groups according to the number of people in the detachment when they escaped, and sent them into eight cages, and my parents were more worry-free, so they spontaneously entered an iron cage with the survivors who came out of the factory together, and locked the cage door.
After all the survivors entered the cage, only Gu Yu and I stayed outside, Gu Yu has the high technology to avoid zombies, and he can deal with emergencies at any time outside.
"I'll go find a safe place first, you be careful." I instructed.
"Be careful, remember, don't be pushy." Gu Yu thinks that I am a reckless person, and he always does not forget to add this sentence.
I smiled at him, and felt a tacit understanding gradually formed between us, like a bond, making us more and more inseparable from each other.
If it weren't the end times, we should have an afternoon tea appointment now, talk about recent life and anecdotes, maybe I would complain that it was hard to find a job, maybe he would be a silent listener, but the last days, if it wasn't the end times, would he and I still meet?
