"Come out, God. He's not dead!"

Zog and Tony are hiding in a small, abandoned shop across from Queen Mary Hospital.

It was close to evening, and the sun was no longer so strong, but it still shone with a dizzying golden light. In this golden light, the figure of Zero appeared at the door of the hospital building. His left arm hung down, as if badly wounded. The right leg was tied tightly with a strip of cloth torn from the clothes, but there was still blood mixed out, and the situation was not optimistic.

And Zero's face was stained with the butcher's blood. These dark red and thick blood can't be removed with a few random wipes. He wanted to dive headlong into the water now so he could wash himself up. The blood stains and stench on his body made Zero feel very uncomfortable.

Walking out of the door of the building, he saw Tony on the left. The two of them walked out of the abandoned small shop, Zuo Ge gave Zero a thumbs up, Zero was slightly stunned, and barely pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, he saw the faces of the two of Zuo Ge change.

"Be careful!"

Zog shouted, and Tony hurriedly raised their machine guns. Their eyes fell on Zero's head, and when Zero looked up, he saw a living corpse crawling out of the second-floor window, jumping down in the shadows and lunging at him.

Zero knew that the high-intensity battle with the butcher had made his body quite tired, and his perception of danger had plummeted, so that he would let this living corpse touch the top of his head without knowing it.

The left half of his body was numb with pain, and although he was holding the revolver in his right hand, it was too late to raise the gun and shoot again.

However, at the moment when the living corpse was about to fall, as if it had been hit by something invisible, the living corpse suddenly slammed into the wall, leaving a pool of dirty blood on the gray-brown wall before falling to the ground. A large hole was made in the chest of the living corpse, and only then could the sound of sniper equipment be heard from a distance.

It's Alan!

Zero had in mind the frizzy young man he had thought was not a good fit to be a sniper. A qualified sniper, one should be calm and cautious, and it is clear that Allen's character is the opposite. Even now, Zero doesn't think he's going to be a good sniper, but he's quite grateful that he fired a shot at a critical moment.

Seeing the living corpse being killed, Zuo Ge and the others breathed a sigh of relief. The captain raised his hand and signaled, which meant retreat. Based on Allen's range, he should be 800 metres away by now, but Zog believes he will see the signal clearly.

Tony had already run forward and grabbed Zero, sharing his weight for him. At the same time, Tony was slightly surprised, Zero's body was hot at the moment.

Zero asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's Hult?"

Tony's face darkened, and he shook his head, "He's dead." As we passed through the gate, we found two living corpses gnawing at his corpse. ”

Expressionless, in fact, as soon as he left the room where he had met Mary, he thought that Hult might be in danger. But at that time, if he turned back to save the blacks, he would definitely not have time to rescue Zuo Ge and others. So even though he knew that Hult was in danger, he still chose Zuoge them, after all, it was three lives, and some important medicines.

The lesser of the two evils, Zero can only abandon the blacks and choose to leave them.

He's not God, and he can't reach everyone. And on the battlefield, death is a common thing. So the death of the black man, Zero didn't take it too seriously.

Zuo Ge also walked up, patted Zero on the shoulder and said, "This time it's thanks to you, if it weren't for you, none of us would have been able to escape." ”

Zero nodded, and his face suddenly changed. An unnatural flush welled up in his knife-like face, and then he fainted straight away, not even having time to say a word.

"What's going on?"

Zuoge hurriedly helped Tony hold him, only to find that Zero's body temperature was frighteningly high. The two of them hurriedly lifted Zero into the shadows, with Tony on guard and Zuo Ge picking up Zero's shirt. After glancing at it, Zuo Ge's hand shook slightly. Zero's body is like a scalded shrimp, turning red and hot. And the muscles on his body trembled slightly, as if there were thousands of insects under his skin, which was so weird that it couldn't be done.

"Head, what's wrong with him?" called Tony.

Zuoge gasped and shook his head, "I don't know, it looks like I'm infected by a virus, and my body is mutating." ”

Tony was startled and said, "Did he bite a living corpse?"

The teeth of the living corpses are as sharp as the teeth of beasts after mutation. And the two canine teeth at the front end are like poisonous snakes, and there are poison sacs hidden in them. Sometimes, when a living corpse bites, it will subconsciously inject the biochemical virus in the poison sac into the prey. If the person bitten by the living corpse is not eaten, they will soon be transformed into a living corpse and join them.

After being injected with the virus by a living corpse, the incubation period depends on the individual's physical fitness. If it is an alien, it can even use its own liliang to force the virus out of the body. As for ordinary people, it will take two days at most, or ten minutes at least, and the body will mutate. One of the mutated reactions is to be as hot as zero. But Zuoge and the others had never heard of the symptoms of redness all over the body during the mutation process, which was unheard of.

Zog quickly examined Zero's neck, and found nothing resembling tooth marks on him, meaning that he was not attacked by a living corpse. As a result, his current physical condition is even more difficult to explain.

However, the symptoms of redness and fever came and went quickly, but within a minute or two, the red tide on Zero's body receded, and his body temperature returned to normal. It's just that the person is still unconscious, Tony stepped forward and looked at Zuoge, but suddenly raised his gun. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Zero, and Tony's face was a little uncertain, as if he was hesitating something.

"Put the gun down. Zuoge said lightly.

Tony said: "Head, he could be infected, us"

"Don't make me say it again, you put the gun down for me!" Zog yelled, shoved Tony away, and said in a deep voice, "We owe him his life, man." If he does turn into a monster, I'll kill him myself. But not now, I won't allow you to shoot until I'm sure he's creating any danger, understand?"

"Got it, head. Tony bowed his head.

Zuog walked back to Zero's side and said, "Now help me lift him, and we'll get out of this ghost city right away." ”

Naturally, Tony would not object to this proposal. His best friend, Carl, has been sleeping forever in the basement of the hospital, and before long, Carl's flesh will be eaten by the living corpses, leaving only a skeleton to prove that he once existed. What a sad thing it is, despite the fact that in these turbulent times, death is played out every day, and tears of sadness have become a luxury. If you have that extra strength, you might as well use it to struggle to survive, and that will allow you to live for a few more years.

So Tony, despite his sadness, didn't show it on his face. He silently came to Zuoge's side, set up Zero with the captain, and dragged him out of the town in a daze.

The accident happened when they turned the corner of a street with one person.

A figure suddenly burst out of the abandoned laundry next to it, stabbing Tony with a rusty knife in his hand.

Suddenly, Tony had to raise his hand to meet the blade, and the arm was immediately stabbed by the knife. He let go of Zero with a yell, and raised his machine gun to shoot at the figure.

The man's chest immediately turned red, and he kept retreating, and Zuihou fell into the space of the laundry, and was silent.

Tony cursed and pulled out the knife in his hand, which was covered in rust and maybe some virus. Tony's life could be life-threatening if left untreated. But they don't even have the simplest hemorrhagic bands on their bodies, and the right medical conditions can only be provided by the base. Tony had to do the same thing, taking off the lining of his suit and tearing off a strip of cloth and tying it around his arm to stop the blood from flowing too quickly.

However, their troubles did not stop there, and one by one figures stepped out of the shadows of the street. They were ragged and their eyes were fierce. But the body has not changed in the slightest, and the eyes are normal pupils, but they are not humanoid monsters like living corpses.

"Mob?" Zog raised his machine gun.

Mob means trouble, and no small amount of trouble. Although these people are not as bloodthirsty and easy to kill as living corpses, they are comparable to wild dogs wandering in the wilderness, and they may not be much inferior to living corpses when they are ruthless.

"Head, it looks like the guy we met on the road. Tony whispered.

Zuoge nodded, because one of the mobs walking in front was the man who had shot them on the side of the road.

A man with a beard and a pistol that he got from nowhere. He was obviously the leader of the group, and the man made a gesture, and a dozen men with machetes, iron rods, etc., immediately dispersed and surrounded him.

The distance between the two centaurs was only about five to ten meters, which was only enough for Zog and Tony to kill a few mobs without destroying them all.

"What are you going to do?" asked Zuoge in a deep voice, hoping that these humanoid beasts could understand human speech.

The leader of the mob pointed his pistol at Zuo Ge and said in a vague tone: "Car keys!"

Zog suddenly regretted that perhaps he would have had to wipe out the mob when he encountered them. But then he didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that now trouble would come to his door. The mob had come for the chariot, but the key was not in the car, so they could not drive away, so they went into the city to search for them. But knowing is knowing, Zuoge can't change the next facts in the slightest.

Naturally, the keys could not be given to them, not to mention that there was no car, and 300 kilometers was enough for them to walk for a day or two. Besides, if they take the key, these mobs will not let them go. The clothes, guns, and drinking water on the people of Zuo Ge are all extremely precious materials. This can be seen in the greedy gaze of the mob, and above the wilderness, there is no mercy to speak of.

Now Zog only hopes that Eren hasn't gone far, and then give the leader a shot. Without a leader, the mob would be leaderless, and it would be much easier to fight or flee.

Perhaps the gods heard Zuoge's voice, and the leader of the mob, who was standing straight one moment, bounced up the next moment, and blood bloomed on his chest. Then, the sound of sniper rifles came from afar.

The change was so unexpected that the mob froze. Zuoge secretly praised Alan in his heart, but threw Zero to the ground and yelled: "Kill them!"

The machine gun in Zuo Ge's hand roared along.
