Volume 1: Stabilize the Waves, Chapter 22: Meet the Survivors Again
Boom, boom!
As you get farther out of the city, the roads become more and more dilapidated. The old and dilapidated road was full of potholes, and the cars driving on it kept swaying left and right, up and down.
"Gross!"
Li Wu, who couldn't stand being tossed up, struggled to get up, sat in the back seat and slowed down for a long time before saying in disgust: "What kind of broken roads are these horses!" ”
"I heard that the city had allocated money a few days ago and that the road was going to be renovated. But who would have thought that there would be a zombie at this juncture! Wei Lai lowered half of the window, held the steering wheel in one hand, and replied with a freshly lit cigarette in the other.
With his current strength, even on such a potholed road, one hand can still firmly control the direction of the car.
"It's all fate!"
Wei Lai exhaled a puff of smoke and said another sentence after that.
In a few days, a new asphalt road would have appeared, connecting several villages and towns to the north. Millions of people will walk on this road, go to the city of their hearts, and settle down there.
But now, because of this fateful word, I don't know how many people will become a murderous zombie who has lost their minds with their unfulfilled wishes.
Even those who survive will be terrified, and the simplest word of survival on weekdays will be the top priority.
"The end of this dog's day!" Thinking of this, Wei Lai couldn't help but curse in his heart again.
Li Wu nodded, indicating that he deeply agreed with Wei Lai's words!
But it's already happened, and he's a little fart who can influence it. Compared with the ethereal fate, there is another thing in his heart that needs to be asked clearly.
"You two have something to hide from me, don't you?" He rubbed the still sore muscles on his arm, and his suspicious eyes kept scanning the two people in the front seat and said, "Don't tell me that you two belong to Ultraman, and you will transform!" ”
To be honest, he already had doubts in his heart when he first saw Gardenia playing with an axe to chop zombie dogs.
But at that time, he only thought that this girl was talented. After all, with her usual amount of food, having that kind of power can explain the past.
But Wei Lai's outburst was right under his nose.
He watched the guy in front of him retreat from the beginning in the face of the zombie dog, and he couldn't resist. In the end, he transformed into a fierce man who killed all sides with a war knife.
When he first faced the zombie dog, it was clear that he was not dominant like himself, and it took two people to work together to kill a gray eye.
But how could he suddenly kill that green-eyed chunk single-handedly?
It's incomprehensible, it's really incomprehensible!
After the battle just now, Wei Lai was not ready to continue to hide it from Li Wu. After all, this is not a high-level exercise or anything like that, and it needs to be kept secret.
And even if he doesn't say it, Li Wu will be able to experience it sooner or later. It's better to tell him in advance, at least so that he can be mentally prepared.
Bounced the cigarette butt in his hand, Wei Lai secretly looked at the rearview mirror above his head, pretended to clear his throat, and saw him say with a serious expression: "To tell you the truth, both of us are time-travelers who have been resurrected from ten years later. In order to be able to lead humanity to victory against zombies! ”
"Uh..."
One sentence was righteous words, but there was silence in the carriage that responded to him!
Li Wu, the boss in the back seat, with his mouth open, leaned back on the backrest with a stunned expression. He was really taken aback by what Wei said, and couldn't help but seriously think about the possibility of this!
It's just that when he inadvertently glanced at Gardenia's trembling shoulders, he reacted in an instant. only scolded himself for being overstimulated by the battle just now, and he was tricked by Wei Lai in a daze.
This made him feel a little ashamed suddenly, and angrily patted the back of the driver's seat and scolded: "You step on a horse and talk about people!" ”
"Haha."
Although Wei Lai didn't look back, he knew that he had indeed frightened this guy just now. I couldn't help but tremble with joy.
Looking at Li Wu's expression of wanting to die, he faked a dry cough a few times to hold back his laughter. Very sympathetic, he explained to him: "What do you think is the relationship between that green-eyed guy and those gray-eyed ordinary zombies?" ”
Li Wu's brows were furrowed, and he didn't know if it was because he was angry, or if he was really thinking about the problem. After a long while, he replied with some uncertainty: "Evolution? ”
"Almost!" Wei Lai said as he turned the steering wheel. After turning a bend in the road, he continued: "I don't know how they evolved. But we can improve ourselves by bursting potential. And this burst of potential can only be triggered between life and death. ”
At this point, there was no longer a smile on his face, but a serious face. And Li Wu, who was listening in the back seat, was also pale and ugly.
Of course Li Wu is not stupid, otherwise Wei Lai would not have pulled him into his team.
So like Wei Lai at the beginning, he quickly figured out the cause and effect relationship. On the already somewhat old face, the frown is getting higher and higher.
After a while, he looked up at the back of Wei Lai's head in front of him and asked, "Since green eyes have appeared, I don't know what color big guy will be in the future." Wouldn't it be harder for us to live? ”
"That's why we have to find some capable people to unite. Only in this way can we find that little bit of survival in the cracks. ”
Wei Lai replied extremely quickly, as if he had planned it a long time ago. He looked at Li Wu in the back seat from the rearview mirror and said in a sincere tone: "You are the first, but it will definitely not be the last!" ”
"Thank you!"
Li Wu was amused by this sudden sensationalism. Although he also knew that Wei Lai was right. But if you want him to say it, I'm afraid you have to add the word like-minded.
After all, for him, the people who came with hospitality before were a negative example, a proper lesson from the past.
But before he could open his mouth, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind him, accompanied by an extremely harsh sound of brakes.
The strong inertia brought by the emergency braking made his whole body fly. His head straightened through the seat in front of him, and his head was planted on the palm-sized monitor.
Immediately afterwards, he felt that someone slapped him on the back of the head, and then he heard Wei Lai's somewhat annoying voice sound again: "The front is blocked, pack up your things and get out of the car." ”
A few minutes later...
The three of them put their backpacks back on their backs, each carrying their own weapons to the side of the road.
I saw that some places further forward had been completely blocked by all kinds of vehicles. The cars that crashed together were connected end to end, and the plastic headlights shattered to the ground.
Several of them were the hardest hit, and black smoke was still whining out of the cracks in the twisted and torn front covers.
Fresh blood stains and stumps of human flesh can be seen everywhere on the ground.
"Hey!" Wei Lai's eyes were cold, and he sighed softly.
"You think these broken cars won't blow up all of a sudden, right?" Li Wu, who was on the side, limped over, looked at the scene in front of him and asked shyly.
"!"
Wei Lai twisted his head, revealing an expression of looking at a fool. didn't bother to reply to him at all, and simply greeted the gardenia next to him, and the two of them walked forward cautiously.
"I don't understand, don't you want to ask?" Li Wu muttered in a low voice. Then he scratched his head depressedly and reluctantly followed.
If you want to say that Li Wu is righteous and bold, he can be ruthless at a critical time. It's just that he is still too young, two or three years younger than Wei Lai, let alone what he has experienced.
Although he has always acted as a patron saint when he was with the hospitable people. But that's no way out.
He was surrounded by a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled, and if he simply relied on them, he was really afraid that he would not be able to survive even a day!
But now it's different.
After seeing Wei Lai's plan and the ability to improvise. Let him gradually have a feeling that he is coming to his brother in his hands, and I have the feeling of the world.
Especially after seeing Wei Lai slash and kill the green-eyed zombie dog, this feeling became even stronger.
And since his personal safety has been guaranteed, he no longer continues to hold it, and gradually recovers his young nature.
……
"Hey... Brother..."
After a few steps, Li Wu, who was at the end, heard a shout in his throat. He couldn't help but pause, and searched around vigilantly.
Even Wei Lai, who had been walking in front, stopped at the same time and looked back. Obviously, that sentence was not what he said.
On the roof to their left,
was lying on his stomach side by side, and when he saw Wei Lai and them stop, he couldn't help but raise his arms high and wave them. "Here, brother, I'm here."
"On the roof, to go?" Li Wu asked.
In fact, after his eyesight was improved, Wei Lai had already discovered those people one step ahead. The reason why he didn't speak was because he was thinking about the problem. To go or not to go?
Just hesitated for a few seconds...
Wei Lai, who had made up his mind, walked towards the bungalow. Gardenia and Li Wu behind him glanced at each other, silently following...
