The temperature in the morning was like soaking in ice water, Xia Chun stepped out of the door with his front foot, but the other leg didn't even want to step out.People on the street nodded to him, besides the friendly uncle, there were also teammates who went to Jumu together.

Before that, when he went out, he would receive a "kind" look. After one night, everyone changed their attitudes. Even Che didn't hate him, but just pretended not to see him.Xia Chun responded one by one, and led the kid to the cemetery.

There is a piece of land behind the base used as a cemetery, and they always try to bring back the remains of their companions who unfortunately died when they went out for burial.This is what Cui Jiangshu meant. He forbids anyone to abandon their companions at will, even in this last days where people die every day.

Cui Jiangshu presided over the burial, remembering the good qualities of the deceased during his lifetime.Lu Zheng stepped forward on crutches and said a lot, his expression was more serious than usual.It was the first time that Xia Chun paid attention to Lu Zheng's appearance, this man reminded him of his former captain.

After the funeral, the parents with children talked about "death" with them, and Xia Chun also pretended to say to the little ghost: "Everyone will die, it may die of disease, it may die of accident, or it may be a comfortable natural death Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable experiences in life, and death is not terrible..."

He thought that the little ghost would respond to him as a showman with dead fish eyes as usual, but the little ghost said flatly: "Eternal life is more terrible than death."

Although the little ghost's voice was not loud, it was still heard by the people around him, and he couldn't help but stare at the five-year-old child a few more times.Xia Chun was also taken aback for a moment, he forgot that the little ghost didn't live, grow old, get sick and die, nor would he experience the pain and horror of death.That sentence made him inexplicably sad, and he wanted to hug the kid into his arms and rub it.

Due to reality, he could only poke the kid's face.The little ghost seemed to like his touch very much, narrowed his eyes with a look of pleasure, grabbed his finger and rubbed it on his lips.

The fingertips were tender, Xia Chun's chest was filled with nameless gas, as if something was about to overflow.He squatted down and looked into the kid's eyes, showing the most serious expression: "In order to be with you longer and longer, I will definitely ensure my health, safety and longevity."

"There's still joy," said the kid with an obvious smile, "because I ate sukiyaki."

Xia Chun was infected by his smile, and couldn't help laughing: "Can you remember what happened in another form?"

The little ghost tilted his head slightly: "Some remember, some don't."

Xia Chun couldn't help touching his head, and retracted his hand before his fingers were about to twitch.

Lu Zheng looked at this warm and beautiful picture of "father and son" getting along with each other from a distance, and his heart was full of emotion and longing, as if the haze of the morning had been dispelled.Leaning on crutches, he came to Xia Chun and said, "Are you explaining the principles of life to him?"

Xia Chun stood up: "He knows more than me."

Lu Zheng only thought he was joking, and was about to imitate Xia Chun's way and pat the little ghost's head to show his affection, but the little ghost raised his head to block his falling arm, turned around and hugged Xia Chun's leg, and refused to let go no matter what.

Xia Chunxin said that although the little ghost liked to hug him like this before, he still remembered his situation and would let him go soon, what happened today.He grabbed the kid by the collar and lifted it up like a kitten.

Lu Zheng was startled: "Did you never hug him?"

Xia Chun is serious: "The child can't be hugged all the time, it will be spoiled."

The uncle who delivered the drinks before passed by, heard him say this, and immediately echoed: "That's right, especially boys. My son was spoiled by his mother when he was a child, and he has always been willful..."

Seeing that the conversation was about to turn into a parenting lesson for dads, Xia Chun hastily left.Lu Zheng stopped him and said, "At night, I will take someone to the giant tree to clean the eyeballs, and go to the warehouse to search for supplies. There are not many players left in the base. Please help me watch."

Xia Chun looked at Lu Zheng's legs: "Are you still going out like this? I'll go for you."

Lu Zheng smiled indifferently: "It's okay, if I'm really in danger, even if I can't run, at least I can be a human shield for everyone."

A wailing sounded in Xia Chun's ears, and the team leader blocked the doorway, trying to block the figure of the insect man from passing by: "...you, be careful, be careful."

Lu Zheng opened his eyes slightly, he seemed a little flattered, his lips moved for a long time but he couldn't speak.Xia Chun thought that he had finished what he had to say, so he took the kid away.

I finally racked my brains to come up with the phrase "you too", but I still couldn't say it in time.Lu Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Che Ye coming out from the direction of the last building, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

He turned to Che Yi and said, "Why didn't you come to the funeral?"

Che Yi snorted nonchalantly: "Death is dead, form is of no use. I will guard this place for them, that's all."

Lu Zheng blocked his way: "What are you doing underground?"

Che also responded to him with a look of "you still need to ask": "When people are locked up there, someone has to ask them if they have any companions."

Lu Zheng pressed his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't do that again, we don't need it now..."

"Boss," Che also interrupted him wearily, and whispered in his ear, "If you like to feel guilty, just be a sinner by yourself. Don't impose this feeling on others. I just finished attending a few brothers' meetings. funeral, you shouldn’t turn your head and think that the world is peaceful.”

Lu Zheng fell into silence until Che Yi walked a long way before looking up at the eye-catching cross above the church.

In the evening, Lu Zheng led the team to set off.Xia Chun made shredded cabbage and egg custard in a dry pot, and ate in the hut with the little ghost to keep him warm.

The kid looked at the people walking around outside the window: "There are a lot of people tonight."

Xia Chun: "Well, they celebrated eliminating monsters and ate and drank together in the larger house to the east."

Kid: "They didn't tell you to go?"

He looked like he was complaining about Xia Chun.Xia Chun smiled and said, "How could it be, I am the number one hero. But I refused."

The kid was puzzled: "Why?"

Although Yan Fu admitted that he didn't need to eat, Xia Chun was already used to eating with him.Habits are not easy to change. If you want to quit, you have to think about it all the time, which is really tiring.

Besides, the kid doesn't seem to know that he has exposed himself, and is still eating in Xia Chun's favorite posture.It seems that such things as acting, as long as you want, it can be online at any time.

Xia Chun fiddled with his hair and wrapped it around his fingers for fun: "I'm very picky about dinner friends, not everyone can eat at the same table as me."

The kid pursed his lips, but still couldn't hide his smile completely.

After the meal, Xia Chun was going to be on the "night shift". Before leaving, he did not forget to say goodbye to his father and son: "Dad is going to work, you have to sleep well."

The little ghost who had learned badly for a long time responded very naturally: "Dad is not around, I can't sleep."

Xia Chun laughed a few times, made a face at the kid, left the room in a good mood, and started the night patrol with his teammates.He didn't need to stand guard, he walked around on mobile patrols, which happened to be convenient for investigating the situation.

The teammate is Chen Qi, who was injured and carried back a few days ago. At that time, it seemed that he was hopeless, but he came out alive and kicking so soon.Xia Chun said in surprise, "Your injury will heal now?"

Chen Qi, who was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, said, "It's about the same. I can recover very well, but I still have to change my medicine and get injections every day."

This is not very strong, it is simply against the sky.Xia Chun always felt that this person was ugly but maybe he was hiding something: "Isn't your ability about healing or rebirth?"

Chen Qi laughed loudly: "I have a plant-type ability, but the quick recovery is indeed related to this ability."

When he was dying, his body became semi-vegetative.He showed Xia Chun, turning his arms into clusters of vines.Xia Chun immediately recognized that it was this thing that swept Tong Wei away the day they first arrived.

Xia Chun had a friendly face: "Qiqi, where did you take my friend? How is he doing now?"

Chen Qi: "...I just handed him over to the priest. As for what happened to him afterwards, I don't know. Well, don't call me Qiqi. Only my brother and my girlfriend used to call me that, but now they are not here. It's..."

Xia Chun apologized to him, Chen Qi waved his hand with a smile, took out a rough pudding from his pocket and gave it to him while there was no one around.This is a simple version he stole from the kitchen and made with a rice cooker, and it still smells like eggs.But Xia Chun's hospitality was hard to bear, and he finished eating under the watchful eyes of his teammates.

"Your knife is good." Xia Chun aimed at his teammate's waist, where a strangely shaped knife hung.

Chen Qi proudly pulled out the knife and showed it to Xia Chun. It was a shark knife with serrations on the back of the blade.Being stabbed in by this knife and then pulled out, the taste must be extremely sour, and it hurts to think about it.

Chen Qi chattered about the origin and advantages of this knife. His enthusiasm made Xia Chun uncomfortable. Fortunately, he had to go to the hospital to change his medicine, and finally stopped talking at the gate of the medical center.

"Wait for me for a few minutes and come out immediately." Chen Qi ran in.

After nightfall, the lights were turned off everywhere, but there were a few lights on in the medical center.Xia Chun leaned against the wall at the door and lit a cigarette, wondering where Tong Wei might be, and whether the strange situation of that night would happen again tonight.

The live broadcast was on all the time, Xia Chun saw that there was no one around, so he chatted with the audience for a while, laughing at himself for being nosy and worrying.

"My life lacks alcohol, a man who can cook and worry."

"It's called love and dedication. Aren't you the anchor of Quest?"

"No, Brother Chun is a gourmet anchor..."

"Hahahahahaha, this gourmet anchor always has a side job."

"That's why you call Xia stupid."

"Don't think so, if it wasn't for worrying, maybe you wouldn't have met the male god Yan Fu in the first place."

The base is very quiet, and the occasional sound of someone from the direction of the gate is just chatting.Xia Chun finished his cigarette long ago, and after talking to the audience, he realized that Chen Qi had been in for a while.

He looked towards the door, and said to the nurse standing at the front desk doing registration: "Dude, did you see Chen Qi?"

The nurse turned to look at him: "Chen Qi? The medicine has been changed long ago. Didn't he come out?"

This nurse was the one who changed Chen Qi's dressing, and after getting it done quickly, he went to deal with other things.When he left, Chen Qi was getting dressed and should have left long ago.

Xia Chun asked about the ward where Chen Qi was, and quickly ran up to the second floor.There is a problem with the lights in the corridor, and they jump from time to time.The sound of his footsteps echoed overhead, adding to the silence on the floor.

Soon after finding the ward, Xia Chun was stretching his hand towards the doorknob when suddenly someone pressed the back of his head and slammed into the door hard.

Xia Chun blocked it with his hand in time, raised his leg and kicked on the door at the same time, pushed back against the person behind him forcefully, grabbed the person's arm and fell over his shoulder.

After the man fell to the ground, he jumped up immediately, Xia Jun saw the face clearly through the weak light, and said in surprise: "Why are you a pervert!"

The other party was Song Xun, and he asked with a cold face, "Where did you hide Tong Wei?"

This question was also what Xia Chun wanted to ask.The two started to fight without saying a word, the only tacit understanding was that they didn't want to attract attention, so they tried their best not to make a sound, tried to avoid touching things, and kept silent when they were hurt, just like a scene of pantomime.

Xia Chun didn't expect that this courier delivery man was not only powerful in supernatural powers, but also in hand-to-hand combat.

Recalling the scene of sawing off the dog's head, Xia Chun made a truce gesture: "I don't know where Tong Wei is, and even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. He's still a child. Do you want to continue beating him? Go now." There's still time, or you won't be able to leave when my companion arrives."

Song Xun was taken aback when he heard that: "Violence? Is that what he told you?"

Xia Chun nodded.Song Xun said angrily and amusedly: "So you brought him here in a presumptuous way?"

Xia Chun: "What is self-righteousness? How did he get so many injuries?"

Song Xun stared into Xia Chun's eyes for a long time before speaking: "He lied to you. You take me to see him, and I want to make it clear to him face to face."

Xia Chun didn't know who the liar was. He was just afraid that there was a [-] in [-] possibility that Tong Wei was telling the truth, so bringing Song Xun in front of Tong Wei might hurt a child.

While talking to distract Song Xun, he quietly touched the doorknob behind him, and opened the door suddenly, wanting Chen Qi to come out to help.

While the fluorescent lights were flickering, a powerful scene came into view, and the two people at the door froze.Chen Qi was lying on the hospital bed, the clothes he took off when changing the dressing hadn't been put on yet, he was facing up, his eyes were staring at the ceiling, there was a long and deep horizontal incision in his abdomen, which almost divided his body for two.

His arms and legs were hanging down from the edge of the bed, and the blood flowed down his limbs to the ground like a stream, forming a river of blood.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, Xia Chun felt nauseated, but what overflowed from his mouth was the smell of eggs.Before he could recover from the shock, Song Xun preemptively pressed him against the wall: "Take me to see Tong Wei."

The wall blocked the line of sight, but Xia Chun could still "see" Chen Qi's cut abdomen.He closed his eyes: "OK, I'll take you to see him."

Song Xun snatched Xia Chun's pistol and put it on his waist, threatening in a low voice.While there was no one downstairs, the two walked out of the medical center.Xia Chun led him into the dark alley next to him and said, "In order to find Tong Wei, you traced all the way here, and even killed people, just to take him away and continue to torture him?"

"I didn't kill people, and I never touched Tong Wei." Song Xun said flatly, "Believe it or not..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a golden star in front of his eyes, and he took a few steps back again and again.He was astonished in his heart, he didn't expect that the man in front of him moved so fast, it was even hard to see when he made the move.

After an elbow strike, Xia Chun didn't give Song Xun a chance to react, and directly knocked him unconscious to the ground, took out a cable tie and tied his backhand to a water pipe, praying that he wouldn't wake up too soon and turn into a neon light to escape .

There were exclamations and noisy footsteps outside, probably someone had already discovered what happened to Chen Qi.Xia Chun was not sure if Song Xun was telling the truth, and he didn't want to draw conclusions so quickly and hand him over to the people at the base.There was something unusual about Chen Qi's body, he had to go back and check it out.

By the time he ran out of the alley, many people had already surrounded the entrance of the medical center. Awakened residents kept running out of their residences, asking others about the situation with horror on their faces.

Xia Chun returned to the ward, except for the sniper who had to stick to his post, everyone else rushed over. The doctor was checking Chen Qi's fatal injuries. Lost.

Among the pools of blood on the ground, there were still the remains of organs.Chen Qi's shark knife fell to the ground, the cut open abdomen was empty, and the internal organs seemed to have been taken away!

Vomiting and crying came from around, and soon someone calmed down, calling everyone to search the base in outrage, and must find out this insane perverted killer, not only to avenge Chen Qi, but also to protect everyone's safety.

Everyone responded one after another, the bullets were loaded, and they ran out of the medical center to start a big search.The residents gathered in front of the gate were too afraid to go back. Cui Jiangshu came to appease them, and took them to the church to pray and wait for the search to be completed.

Xia Chun followed behind the team, recalling the details of the ward.Others thought that Chen Qi's knife must have been shot down in self-defense when it fell to the ground, but judging from the incision on his abdomen, the murder weapon should be jagged.

It is possible that the murderer took Chen Qi's knife and attacked him, or the murderer himself could turn into a circular saw, and Song Xun has this ability.But the problem is, there is only one shelf with medicine lying on the ground, and there are no other signs of fighting. Chen Qi will not be knocked down all at once, right?And Chen Qi bled so much, if Song Xun really did it, how could he not have any blood on his body?

Chen Qi's death was too bizarre, Xia Chun sneaked back to the alley next to the medical center while the others were away, trying to take Song Xun back to his residence and temporarily hide him, and "interrogate" him after he wakes up.

But when Xia Chun returned there, Song Xun had disappeared.

Xia Chun felt a little regretful, he should have called someone to lock him up sooner.If Song Xun really did it, then he didn't know where he was lurking after he escaped. Wouldn't the people in the base be in danger?

Xia Chun rushed out of the alley, and happened to be bumped into by his teammates, so he asked him to search together.They searched every house and every corner, but they didn't find any suspicious traces, and Xia Chun didn't find any light sources like neon lights.

The angry and disappointed team members went to the church to report the search results to Cui Jiangshu. The murderer may have escaped, but this showed that someone could escape freely under their defense, which made everyone even more panicked.

Yan Fu accompanied Xia Chun to the church, and stood beside him with a calm face.Everyone in the base knew about Yan Fu's "supernatural power". Even though he was in adult form, he was actually a five-year-old child.

They couldn't help but feel that Dad Xia was too hearty, what to do if such a young child listened to such a bloody and cruel thing, which caused a psychological shadow.

Xia Chun whispered to Yan Fu: "Can you perceive Song Xun or other abnormalities?"

Yan Fu shook his head lightly.This place gave him the feeling of nothingness, all of them were part of nothingness, and the released consciousness was not unable to perceive anything, but everything was the same.

Xia Chun shook his legs, and there was a soft sound in his pocket.He took out the string of rosary beads and said, "I'd better give this back to you."

Yan Fu cast a questioning look.Xia Chun rubbed his nose: "I'm always worried about keeping such an important thing with me. If I lose it..."

"It doesn't matter," Yan Fu smiled, "What's mine is yours."

The rosary shook with Xia Chun's hand: "Then... I will take good care of it."

Yan Fu looked at him: "I will also take good care of my things."

These words sounded like they were referring to the rosary, but Yan Fu's eyes contained endless deep meaning.Xia Chun's heart was about to explode when he saw it, and he immediately understood what he meant to take good care of.

Or who.

He put the rosary away, and heard Cui Jiangshu's voice: "Everyone, please don't panic, the person who committed such a crime cannot be one of us, we are all the devout people of the heavenly father, the more critical the situation, the more we need each other." Trust each other and support each other.”

Doubt best breeds fear, and fear can lead to unimaginable behavior.At this moment, the priest must first appease people's hearts so that everyone will not be suspicious of each other.

When people were panicking, a warm and mellow voice came from behind: "The murderer must have a lot of blood on his body. Everyone ran out immediately after hearing the cry. He didn't have time to clean himself and change clothes. If he is among us , will definitely be exposed immediately.”

Everyone turned their heads to see Xia Chun, and then looked at each other in blank dismay.Indeed, these words were more effective than empty reassurance.

Seeing that the commotion and discussion had stopped, Cui Jiangshu gave Xia Chun an approving look: "I understand your feelings at the moment, but please remain calm. We have faced countless life-and-death dilemmas together, and every time we have defeated the enemy and ourselves , this time it will be the same. The team members searched and found no zombies or intruders..."

Someone whispered: "Then what happened just now, Chen Qi's stomach has been emptied, hasn't he?"

Cui Jiangshu said calmly: "You don't have to worry, this is just a small test before the cold wave comes, and our salvation has already appeared."

Xia Chunxin said not to hurry up and check the corpses and defense loopholes, what kind of test and salvation are we talking about here?Religion is all about trouble...

Just thinking about it, Cui Jiangshu waved to the side, and Tong Wei in a white robe came out.

Xia Chun's eyes widened immediately, not knowing which play this was singing again.

Cui Jiangshu held Tong Wei's shoulders and said loudly: "The Holy Son descended from the sky. He completely offered himself as our sin offering, redeemed us with his precious blood, died on the cross, was buried and then resurrected; Heaven, pray to the Father for his saints; for the fulfillment of the kingdom of God, he will come again; he is the way, the truth and the life..."

Cui Jiangshu grabbed Tong Wei's wrist and raised it high, his wide sleeves slipped off, revealing his scarred arm.His skin was very fair, which made those scars even more horrible, causing the surrounding people to exclaim.

The last time Xia Chun saw Tong Wei's wound was in the dark night without stars and moon, so he couldn't see it clearly.At this time, he walked around the crowd and took a closer look. The scar on Tong Wei's arm was extremely hideous, and there was even a large piece of newly grown flesh.

Those scars are by no means man-made, or not made by normal living people.Thinking of those zombies, Xia Chun couldn't help but gasped. Could it be that Tong Wei was really bitten by a zombie?
