The engines of the buggies started, and only four of the six buggies were started, leaving the remaining two in the rubble, as the soldiers responsible for driving them were declared dead.

Tang Xue was in one of the off-road vehicles, she was holding Xiaobai who was shivering, the skin on the knee of her right leg was scratched, the broken capillaries were oozing blood outward, and her clothes were stained with mud and blood.

She was lucky enough to survive the attack, and the torn concrete wall was thrown towards the place where the number of people was most concentrated.

She was in the middle of the crowd, surrounded on all sides by armed soldiers, always on the lookout for her.

Xiaobai seemed to have discovered something, leading them around here, it was a puppy with a very sensitive sense of smell, it barked at Tang Xue abnormally, Tang Xue picked it up, wondering what it had found.

But no one expected that a wall would suddenly be thrown at them.

Tang Xue was originally within the attack range of that wall, but one of the soldiers, when the wall was thrown out, reacted and pushed her away, smashing her into a pulp instead of her.

In just an instant, thirteen of the accompanying soldiers died, and the wall with unstoppable power smashed the ground into a depression, and the wall shattered under the violent collision, and the soldiers who were hit lost their lives before they could say their last words.

Tang Xue remembered that scene, she fell heavily on the ground, and the wound on her knee was bruised like that, but it was only a minor injury, and the soldier who pushed her away paid with his life.

Shattered dust fluttered, bright red blood seeped out of the cracks, followed by a dense burst of gunfire.

The creature that left a deep impression on Tang Xue appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The guns didn't work against her, the bullets fired at her, intercepted by whiplashes that were hard to see with the naked eye, and she had an indescribable beauty all over her body, like a perfect work of art.

Hela, the HeLa infected body that once appeared on camera.

Tang Xue remembered her characteristics and recognized what a terrifying creature it was, she could even shoot down from a helicopter, a tidal wave of corpses, in front of her, fragile like wheat stalks.

Dr. Su said that to deal with Hela, you have to use heavy weapons, weapons that can deal with tanks and airplanes, to deal with Hela.

The soldiers carried rockets, but there were not many of them, and they all threw them at Hela.

But Hela jumped lightly, dodging all the explosions, she was not far from the soldiers, she could see the details of her face, her eyes were like a mirror, like an emotionless killing machine, and when she met her eyes, there was a piercing chill rising.

At that moment, death was close at hand, Tang Xue's brain went blank, she fell to the side with Xiaobai in her arms, and the explosion almost deafened her ears.

All the rockets were missed, and in the firelight, choking black smoke rose, and Hela's figure fell to the ground.

Suddenly, there was another accident, and the ground where Hela fell cracked, and a crimson liquid gushed out like a chiseled fountain, and the ground collapsed, and a large crater appeared, into which Hela fell.

Before everyone could react, the blood-colored liquid oozed out, and the word "run" was written on the ground.

Only then did they realize that it was time to escape, and immediately someone picked up Tang Xue on his back, ran away without looking back, escaped into the off-road vehicle, and started the engine.

The car shook and left the way it came, reaching its speed limit.

They fled into the open, and there was no further unusual movement, and Hela didn't seem to catch up.

Tang Xue was still frightened for a while, she was afraid of death, she was very afraid.

For a while, she thought that death was a relief, and that it was better to live in a world of despair than to die.

She picked up the knife and tried to cut her wrists, trying to pierce her skin with the tip of the knife, but the knife hurt so much on the flesh, and the blood flowed out made her feel so cold.

She pointed the tip of her knife at her throat, but her hand trembled, and she involuntarily lowered the knife.

She couldn't do it, she couldn't kill herself, and the thought of her turning into a cold corpse scared her.

For a moment, she was so close to death that she felt the wind pressure of the wall as it slammed into her face, and the shadows enveloped her.

Until now, she also felt afraid.

But the frightened heart slowly calmed down, and finally had time for her to recall the details just now.

The off-road vehicle was speeding on the open road, the communicator was connected, and Tang Xue received a call from Dr. Su.

Video call, there is a tablet in the car, and Dr. Su's face appears on the screen with a serious expression.

"I received a report from your encounter with Hela, it's not a monster you can deal with, let's stop here, I don't want anyone to die anymore, you guys return quickly, I will submit an application to the headquarters to drop a hydrogen bomb in advance, and destroy the mother body and Hela as soon as possible."

"Wait, Dr. Su, I hope you'll listen to me first, I think I've found him."

"Found it?"

"It must have been him, he saved us just now, we should have died there."

"Did you see him?"

"No, but Xiaobai smelled his smell, Xiaobai's nose is very smart, since last night we have searched from the places where he appeared one by one, we went to the community where he appeared, and the bridge, Xiaobai followed his smell, found the place where he went, we found traces of human activity in an old residential building, he changed clothes there, just now Xiaobai took us there, it must be Xiaobai smelled his smell, will go that way."

Tang Xue said: "We should have died there, but there were some accidents, we were able to escape into the off-road vehicle, before escaping, we all saw a 'run' word on the ground, someone was helping us, he helped us trap Hela, helped us escape the desperate situation of death." ”

"You're saying he's near Hela?"

"Because it was so sudden, maybe a lot of people didn't see what was going on, but I could see it, Hela's vines were wrapped in something, it looked like there was a person tied inside, she was careful when she dodged the rockets, she protected it behind her, she had the ability to attack from a distance, but she didn't shoot us when she jumped, she prioritized defense and dodging over attacking, don't you think it's weird?"

"I know what you're trying to say, I've read that observation journal, but even if you guessed correctly, what then? There is no way we can snatch him back from Hela's grasp, and this operation is doomed to be unsuccessful, and the original order to return is maintained. ”

"But."

"It's nothing, Miss Tang Xue, please come back, you almost died, the base is very safe, in two months, the transport ship will depart from the north, then you can return to the north with the ship, become a citizen, you can survive in a healthy society, someone will arrange a job for you, you will meet new friends, party with them, you have finally survived to the present, you still have a bright future, so please come back."

She was silent, recalling the feeling of brushing shoulders with death.

Yes, she almost died, like the one in the snow, but this time she was not infected, she had another choice, she could choose to live in peace, which made her start to be afraid, afraid of the kiss of death, afraid that she would be hit by that wall and turn into a cold corpse.
