The Marks of Fate Chapter 18: The Way Home (I)
Something behind him crashed to the ground with a heavy muffled thud.
Ya knelt on the ground, clear tears leaving ugly marks on her filthy face, she turned her head blankly, and a human-tall metamorphosis was falling to the ground, with a clear bullet hole in her head, and at the moment curling green smoke.
The monster looks like a moving piece of flesh, and the skin is covered with a membrane that can change color depending on the environment, and even when it moves, if you don't look closely, you can't find the disguise. At this moment, the original camouflage is gradually fading, because it has lost the control of neurons, and gradually reverts to its original color, gray dry folds.
Ya's face was a little dazed, this is the reason why the brain reaction can't keep up with the external changes, her entire thinking process is in a state of downtime, sneaking and fighting for several days, her physical strength and alertness have dropped sharply, as usual, her sense of sight and hearing has been strengthened, and it is not difficult for her to find this kind of sneak attack with poor skills, but at this moment, she is already exhausted, and she has not noticed anything.
There was a slight sound of footsteps in the hallway.
Ya turned her head blankly, and a pair of military boots appeared in her field of vision, and the military boots stopped in front of her, motionless. She looked up in a daze, and it was a face that was indifferent to the extreme.
The other man picked up a pistol and put it against her head.
She grinned, she was finally caught by you. Perhaps, it would be nice to die at your hands. Pity! Haven't won the appreciation of my father yet..... It's a pity, I've worked hard for so many years, trying to live, trying to live, and the result is still like this..... Really..... Everything, in my hands, is a mess.
She closed her eyes, and all she felt was a whirlwind.
I can finally get some rest, I'm so tired, so tired.
The girl fell backwards, dejected, and was about to make contact with the ground when a pair of strong arms leaned in.
.......
The world seemed to be filled with green liquid, and everything in sight rippled in the waves, and through the light waves, there were countless distorted faces, who greedily looked at the smooth and graceful bodies in front of them.
Faces appeared in front of her one by one, lips opened and closed, and sonic conflicts echoed, as if she couldn't stop saying something, but unfortunately she couldn't hear a word no matter how hard she tried. Every time a face appeared, it would bring him a completely different feeling, itching and soreness, most of the time, it was the pain that was everywhere and made him want to tear himself apart!
Xu heard the sorrow in her heart, and the entire space shattered like glass, and countless fragments of memory were peeling away and being sucked away, like a silhouette that gradually faded away.
There are also quite stubborn diseases, like poisonous sores growing on the body, which are constantly peeled off, but always grow, and those memories are still painful scenes even if they are buried in the bottom of their hearts.
- Daddy no, no, I'm your daughter, it's your daughter! Yes...... It hurts, it hurts.
- In my ears was the heavy gasp of a man and the howl of a wolf.
Ya screamed and sat up suddenly, the morning sun pierced the clouds and sprinkled down, the stars shining on her body, warm, an indescribable warm feeling.
In a small room in an abandoned second-floor apartment, on the old and dilapidated sofa, Ya turned around blankly, and the thin marching blanket on her body slid down, revealing her sturdy, slender body. There was only a piece of underwear inside, and the tiny wounds and fragments caused by various abrasions on the body had been cleaned and treated.
She had been asleep for a long time, and she had just woken up, her mind was empty, mixed with some indirect stinging. There are too many fragments of memory that need to be pieced together in order to paint a picture of the current situation.
Click.
Next to the window on the second floor, Ye Suqin carefully wiped the rifle parts. When the last part was polished, he reassembled the rifle with a slow, precise motion, making a slight click as the parts snapped into each other.
Ya looked over blankly, and when she saw Ye Suqin, her entire pupils shrank suddenly, and all the events seemed to have an invisible thread in an instant, strung together, and everything was clear.
Ya opened her mouth, returned to her indifferent appearance again, looked at Ye Suqin on the side with cold eyes, thought for a long time, and finally spoke, "I won't appreciate it." ”
She was a little mocking, and looked at Ye Suqin and let out a sneer, "I really want to ask you, put away your senseless mercy, I don't need to, even if I am saved by you at the moment, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely pull the trigger without hesitation, I advise you not to have any unrealistic expectations." ”
Ye Suqin turned a deaf ear to Ya's poisonous tongue from beginning to end, he carefully placed the gun beside him, and covered the muzzle with a strip of cloth to prevent ash, and at the same time took out a box of bullets and began to file it with a vajra file.
Suddenly feeling very bored, Ya leaned against the back of the wall a little tiredly, her eyes flickering, obviously helpless against the current situation.
Ye Suqin has always been a taciturn person, and in the current situation, he doesn't seem to want to explain something, the atmosphere is gradually becoming awkward, and the two of them don't know what they are thinking, except that the marching pot in the middle of the room is making a steam fluttering sound.
This self-heating military pot does not require an open flame and has a built-in high-burn battery, which can cook the configured rations in a matter of minutes. Efficiency and concealment are its hallmarks, and naturally, the food that is cooked so quickly has no taste at all.
Ye Suqin got up and fetched a ration and put it next to Ya's bed, and he ate his own ration in the corner.
The marching rations mixed with meat foam and high-calorie protein powder tasted like a ball of batter, and the occasional few dehydrated vegetables didn't have the texture of a vegetable when chewed, and more, like chewing a green plastic bag.
Rao is so, compared to compressed biscuits, this is still a rare delicacy, after all, it is a hot food.
Ye Suqin carefully swept the dinner plate, he ate very carefully, and licked a little bit of residue with his tongue carefully, and the plate after eating was so clean that it seemed to have been washed.
After doing all this, he stood up, gathered away the scattered equipment, put it behind his back, and said lightly, "Let's go." ”
"Huh?" The girl looked up blankly, incredulous.
Ya's injuries are not serious, it's just a loss of strength, a simple rest, basically recovered, with her strength, under the follow-up, there is obviously no problem with self-preservation.
Ye Suqin raised his feet and left, the girl opened her mouth behind her back, obviously unbelievable that such a guy just walked away? Aren't there any other demands or attempts?
For this strange boy who has never been able to see through, it is difficult for Ya to express how she feels in her heart at this moment, because all kinds of things are logically untenable. People who are struggling to survive in the wilderness cannot have this kind of low-level mercy that they don't know, there is no word for kindness in the wilderness, some are just entanglements between interests and interests, some interests are laid out nakedly, and some are hidden deeply, but no matter which one, Ye Suqin doesn't seem to be able to catch up. He-he seemed to be purely chasing himself before, this is not difficult to understand, what is incomprehensible is that in the end, he actually let himself go!?
Ya felt that all the values of the past seemed to be useless at this moment.
The footsteps faded away, and he walked away without looking back.
Ya was still a little incredulous and accepting of this result, and it seemed that it would take a lot of effort to swallow this strange fact.
He..... Seemingly, it's really gone.
Outside the window, the figure quickly moved through the ruins, and after a while, disappeared at the end of the field of vision.
Ya sat on the sofa in a daze, it seemed that from beginning to end, the two did not have much communication, everything seemed to be very tacit, just like a couple who had been together for many years. Obviously, Ya wanted to express it, but the meaning that was not expressed, the other party had already received it, just as Ya clearly understood from his silence, the next time we met, it would be your life-and-death words.
It's just that I don't understand, I can easily kill myself, why don't I kill it. He must have felt that his hatred did not come from this so-called trial, yes, he definitely felt that people in the wilderness often have a keen intuition about hatred, for vendettas, for the killing intent hidden behind hypocrisy.
But he just let himself go.
Gentlemanly elegance! Damn, this disgusting grace, disgusting grace, I really hate him, I hate him from the bottom of my heart.
Ya reined in her mind and began to solve the food in front of her, she needed food, she needed calories so that she could recover better.
There was a faint and imperceptible sound of footsteps outside the door.
Ya good-looking eyebrows rose slightly, look, sure enough, it turned back, heh, men, they are all the same cheap embryos.
Ya stared at the door curiously, organizing all kinds of ridicule and vicious words in her mind, and she didn't hesitate to confide in the moment when she was ready to wait for that guy to enter the door, thinking of the other party's stunned expression, her heart was relieved.
"Hey, Ya, cute little person, my sister misses you to death!"
Ya's expression began to distort, from the original swagger to a mixture of stunned, frightened and terrifying.
The person who came was not Ye Suqin, it was a withered leaf butterfly!
Ya turned into a female leopard and pounced, targeting a random backpack on the ground, containing a pistol, grenades, and a dagger. In the current situation, it is a terrible thing to meet students who are the same as you.
The backpack was only thirty centimeters away from him, twenty centimeters, closer, closer, only ten centimeters.
An invisible force shot out, and the backpack was pushed sideways for several meters, until it hit the wall before stopping.
Ya's attempt failed, and she fell to the ground in some embarrassment, and almost without any hesitation, she turned around and jumped out of the window, but the window that had been open was suddenly closed by invisible force.
Bump –
**********
In the early morning, Ye Suqin sat on the top floor of a high-rise building, watching the various people walking around the city like ants. Compared to the previous day, the density of mercenaries has dropped dramatically, and on the first day, the number is expected to exceed a thousand, and after a few days of fierce fighting, this number may not be half of the previous number.
There are too many dangers in the unfamiliar area, from the predation of metamorphoses and monsters, from the black guns of the same kind, from the counterattack of the "prey", and all kinds of dangers, such as buildings that have collapsed inexplicably because of age, or land subsidence without warning, and the silent virus can kill or destroy an entire team. There is no shortage of surprises outside the wilderness, and accidents of all kinds are becoming more complex and diverse with the times.
The city is also a complex synonymous with all kinds of dangers, and many of the mercenaries who have seen the city for one night have gradually left timidly, and the rest are a group of old fritters with rich combat and survival experience, although it is difficult to say whether the experience gained before is still useful in this era of rapid change. But, they only have experience left, don't they?
Death is an imminent issue for them, no, for anyone in the entire era, almost every day someone is dying, almost every day someone is thinking about whether they will die tomorrow, this is a world where death is normalized. And 3,000 yuan can greatly prolong or avoid the arrival of this expectation.
There is no shortage of outlaws, and in this era, the proportion of outlaws is at the highest point of any era.
Ye Suqin doesn't like to be active during the day, and this time point is very unfriendly to him, but there is a situation that needs to be confirmed by himself.
The tactical terminal in his hand kept flashing a signal, a signal that revealed his own position, and it had been beating since last night. With the temperament of the cadet, either a fatal crisis or a trap will be encountered. Either way, it stands to reason that no one will bother.
But they persevered in sending the signal.
Judging from the rules of the trial, it seems that there is no need for the students who can survive to fight with each other, because the number of people should have passed.
In the past two days, Ye Suqin found the bodies of students more than once, not only Susan, but also others. There are those who are killed by the monsters, and there are those who are hunted by hunters until they are exhausted, and either way, the end is probably not much better.
For the current survivors, it may be an option to sign up for warmth.
It's a pity that this option is not very attractive to Ye Suqin, who trusts his rifle more than those less reliable companions.
It's just that there have been some unexpected changes, so Ye Suqin is also thinking about whether to make a game or a trap.
No matter what the game or trap is, you need some bait, those groups of students who are in groups may be good bait, as long as you distract the tail behind you, then the probability of whether you can escape back to the headquarters has increased a lot.
Now there is obviously not much point in staying in this city again, the dangers that need to be eliminated have been eliminated, and the rest, well, I think about it, it seems that there is still the group of Rako, but the other party's ability to accurately pursue is a little worse, compared to Ya, they are hardly a threat, he is confident that he can get rid of them in the wilderness outside, if they meet, and now it is unknown whether they are alive or not.
The reduction in the number of mercenaries below provides a real and powerful opportunity to leave the city, if there is no accident, Ye Suqin has actually considered surviving in the city for a week or even longer to consume those annoying mercenaries, in the complex city, he is confident, but in the endless wilderness outside, a large number of mercenaries will become maggots attached to the bones.
A lot of the considerations are done between the electric and the flint.
Ye Suqin stood up, he decided to go and take a look, and then make a decision.
There was a thought behind him, and the tail was still following him, not showing hostility, not showing emotion, just following as if he were nothing, not knowing what the other party's intentions were.
Ye Suqin had already understood who the opponent was from Susan's pupils, and his behavior became unhurried.
The truth often has to be revealed one day, he is not in a hurry, in the wilderness, he has learned enough patience!
