Leaving the woods, when the man stopped the car beside an abandoned house that looked like a small outpost, it was already close to seven o'clock, and the heavy rain had stopped early, leaving behind the moist air after the rain and the clear night sky.

After the deer carcass, Su Muqiu saw the corpses of some small animals one after another during the drive. They were blood-stained, but they did not move—or the speed of the car was too fast, and there was no time to see those dead birds and rats jumping up and down—on the road There are no other living creatures, except himself and the car robber.

It was not obvious during the day, when the man turned on the small lights in the car when the sun was setting, Su Muqiu could clearly see that the man's face was as pale as paper, sickly white, and after the man parked the car, he first turned off the lights and engine, and turned off the car. Pull out the key and put it away, then raised an eyebrow at Su Muqiu, and actually took the initiative to untie the tangled seat belt for him.

Su Muqiu didn't bark his teeth and claws to try to pin each other down like when they first met, but coordinated sideways to make it easier for him to move, then quietly got out of the car, and followed the man with the flashlight into the outpost.

"There is a flashlight in the car. It's a good habit. Keep it up." The other party praised and patted him on the shoulder.

"..." Su Muqiu glanced at the other person's chest.

The car keys were kept in the opponent's hidden pocket, unless Su Muqiu had a way to pounce on him and restrain him firmly, and opened his collar to fumble around on his chest, otherwise he would never be able to find the keys.

Outside the iron gate of the outpost, the door lock is functioning normally, which symbolizes that there is electricity here.This security system, Su Muqiu, recognizes that if the password is wrong for more than three times, the second lock will be activated. Except for opening it from the inside, it can only be unlocked by □□. The man frowned and thought hard, as if he could see the password by staring at the panel. After making two mistakes, the green light flashed, and it really succeeded.

There is not much space inside, there are several sets of camouflage uniforms that have not been washed for an unknown period of time, a broken stabbing gun, sealed emergency food and several barrels of mineral water in the cabinet, a stand-alone generator, and even a simple bathroom in the corner With a stormwater filtration system, this place is more of a small shelter than an outpost.

Su Muqiu was observing the items inside. The man had already glanced around and turned his head to look at him: "Just get off here. There are no people or large beasts around here. It's not difficult to stay for ten days and half a month."

Su Muqiu said "Huh?"

The man smiled and said, "I said I would take you to a safe place and release you into the wild. How about it? I'll keep my promise."

"Are you sure you didn't come to the barren mountains to abandon corpses?" Su Muqiu asked back.

The opponent raised his hands high and made a gesture of surrender: "I am wronged, I am kind-hearted."

Su Muqiu looked questioning, and the other party shrugged, expressing whether he believed it or not.He obligatoryly explained what food and drink are there, what kinds of self-defense weapons are there, and finally found a large bag of charcoal, cleared an open space outside the outpost, and used the car body as a ready-made shelter to set up a fire : "For safety reasons, the military will not equip these small stations with natural gas, but they can use charcoal fires. It is very easy to start a fire just like I demonstrated."

The man put the cheating lighter back into his trouser pocket openly.

The corners of Su Muqiu's eyes twitched, and after a while he sighed: "You left me here, robbed my car, and are you going to City B?"

This outpost has everything, but no cars.

Sure enough, the other party nodded calmly, without the slightest bit of guilt or uneasiness, and did not forget to emphasize: "How can you say it was thrown away? Feel it carefully, does it feel like a villa in a secret place deep in the mountains? Independent bathroom, birds singing and flowers fragrance, besides, this place has a safety factor It is higher than the villa."

If he really brought the car owner here for some inexplicable safety factor, he might be able to barely claim to be intentional, but while he was talking, he moved out the radio equipment in the outpost, dusted off the dust near the fire, and focused on debugging. Obviously this radio was his target, and it was incidental to drop Su Muqiu.

Su Muqiu glanced at him, went inside to find a small iron pot, unpacked the rice and put water in it, set it on the fire and started a picnic life, this kind of adaptability, the man who is busy with the old radio gives a thumbs up With admiration.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Ok?"

"When I find a way to go out, at least I have a name before I know how to ask you for compensation."

"Want revenge? Ambitious." The other party slightly bent his black eyes, "I'm Ye Xiu."

"My name is Su Muqiu." Su Muqiu opened a slit with the branch he picked up. It was steaming and not ripe yet, but the guy named Ye Xiu made progress.

After the rustling of the current, the voice of the distorted panel came out: "...Sector 13 is a three-level security. The 07th and 09th districts of G City were upgraded to the second-level security. '

There are three levels of security in District 02, District 03, and District 05 of 'S City. '

'The 11th, 13th, 14th, and 17th districts of H City retreated, and at noon tomorrow when they...weakened...the entire H city was blocked. '

'Attention, all of H City...please withdraw...in addition, if you find the experiment...please submit it to...the end of the routine report. '

The small hill suddenly became silent.

The fire was burning, Ye Xiu slapped the casing of the radio a few times, as if the thing hadn't finished talking, he heard Su Muqiu's young and clean voice: "... City H is locked down? They? What happened?"

Ye Xiu finally gave up abusing the unresponsive radio and looked up.

The young man who was robbed by him in GTA style, no matter his expression or tone, was far calmer than Ye Xiu expected.

"Well... 'they' are—"

Ye Xiu stopped talking, and suddenly turned his head to look at the large forest behind him, only to hear a heavy object approaching across the grass in the distance, accompanied by the whimpering sound of a broken bellows.

He slowly drew out the knife, held it backwards across his chest, lowered his upper body and leaned forward in a posture ready to jump up at any time, staring at the blurred silhouette of a human in the woods, but suddenly there was a corpse under the grass with a snap. Madara's little hands grabbed his army boots!

Ye Xiu jumped back violently, twisted his waist, raised his leg and swept across, and kicked the owner of that hand away!A grunt rolled to the not far from the fire was a young child-like object, the smiling face pattern on the clothes was torn apart, exposing the stinking maggot-filled chest cavity underneath.The force of that thing being knocked into the air was so great that its right calf was directly smashed into a right angle. It screamed strangely and crawled towards Ye Xiu lying on the ground. Ye Xiu stepped forward without hesitation, and stepped on the thing directly with the rubber sole of his military boots When the little claw was struggling to catch his calf, he bent down and broke its neck with a knife.

The stinky sticky blood dripped all over the floor, Ye Xiu didn't care, turned around and went into the woods, after a loud noise, he walked back, except for some blood stains on the bottom of his trousers, breathing a little faster, there was no other reaction.

He seemed to be thinking of Su Muqiu at this moment, the young man took a crowbar he found somewhere, and precisely smashed several joints of the corpse, and the corpse of the child who could still crawl half a meter away from the head was completely silent.

Ye Xiu looked at Su Muqiu with trembling eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to explain: "It's probably a family that came for a mountain hike, and this little guy's parents are behind."

He wiped the blood off the knife, and carried the little corpse into the woods, as if it was an ordinary thing.Su Muqiu didn't want that kind of answer, he still didn't ask, and looked directly at the other party with his lips pressed together, Ye Xiu was finally defeated by Su Muqiu's gaze.

"...It's a zombie."

"Zombies?"

Ye Xiu nodded.

"A few months ago, in District 13-C of H City, a state secret laboratory that did not exist in systems, maps, and records received a sample of a mutant virus. This virus is extremely contagious, and humans only need to get a little It will transform into the monster you saw just now. It is obviously dead, but it has a similar hunger reaction to the flesh and blood of the creature. The research room received direct orders from the leader to develop a vaccine."

Su Muqiu's heart skipped a beat.

Area 13-C is divided by the military, but he happens to know which area it is. The research office of the senior who hastily left the country is located in Area C. He vaguely remembers that it is an ordinary building with a yellow exterior. The car that was transferred to him was very similar in color.

Ye Xiu paused for too long, and Su Muqiu asked, "...and then?"

"And then? No more."

Ye Xiu shrugged, "There was an accident. The army and researchers stationed in the research room were nearly wiped out and turned into zombies. They didn't know how to do it when they were fleeing for their lives. They accidentally caused an explosion in the research room. Not to mention the destruction of all valuable materials and the leakage of the virus. The upper echelons tried their best, but they still couldn't save it, so they could only hide it."

Although the narration is too calm, but if what Ye Xiu said is true, then this is indeed the safest place he can find - no one is inhabited, it means there is no danger at this moment.

Su Muqiu remained silent, standing there stiffly as if he had taken root.

Ye Xiu sighed, saying that he was young after all, and a student who hadn't escaped the protection circle. When he encountered such an unbelievable thing, his reaction just now was already quite good.

He sat down slowly by the car door, clenched the knife tightly, and said softly: "I won't leave tonight, taking care of you overnight is considered after-sales service. You go in and close the door to rest, and everything will rush to me first , I clean up."

Su Muqiu finally moved, with gratitude in his eyes, he nodded and walked towards the outpost.But just as Ye Xiu picked up the branch and stirred the charcoal fire, and wanted to lift the iron pot to see if the rice was cooked, Su Muqiu walked out with an emergency medical kit in his arms.

Ye Xiu looked at him in bewilderment, Su Muqiu squatted down and checked the contents of the medical box: "You are injured, I will bandage it for you."

"I didn't—" Ye Xiu was startled, and replied reflexively.

"You have. It's located on the right side of the abdomen. It should be injured earlier. I can see that when you dodged just now, you needed to use your waist and abdomen muscles. The movement was a little uncoordinated..." Su Muqiu said, "By the way , I'm a medical student, even though I haven't graduated yet, I can't kill people anyway."

Insufficient tools, Su Muqiu took a piece of cotton and dipped it in disinfectant alcohol to wipe off his fingers: "You saved my life, I have nothing else to repay, I can only check the wound for you."

Ye Xiu remained silent, staring at Su Muqiu steadfastly.

Under the firelight, Su Muqiu's eyes were very clean, reminiscent of words like hope, future, and tomorrow.

After a long stalemate, Ye Xiu let out a breath and nodded, "Okay."

Su Muqiu looked at the knife in Ye Xiu's hand vigilantly. The latter put the knife aside gently, and opened his palm to Su Muqiu, signaling that he had no intention of attacking. Su Muqiu let down his guard a little, walked carefully to Ye Xiu's side, and untied him. A hemostatic bandage was randomly wrapped around his waist, and he carefully checked the condition of the wound.

It looks thin on the outside, but as a soldier, Ye Xiu's waist and abdomen are quite beautiful, and there are two half-moon-shaped wounds on it.It looks like the tooth marks of a carnivorous animal. The wound is extremely deep. There are also severe tear marks caused by sharp teeth sinking into the flesh and fighting. The whole wound is bloody and bloody. To be able to sneak out of the shopping mall to hold hostage without saying a word, this kind of strong willpower is beyond anyone's imagination.

Su Muqiu recalled for a moment, and confirmed that he hit the wound with his knee in the car, and the wound added to the wound. It is estimated that Ye Xiu was in pain during the drive and was speechless.

"What kind of animal was this bitten by?" Su Muqiu looked into it.

Ye Xiu thought for a while: "...a cat?"

Su Muqiu reflexively denied: "Impossible, the bite force and tooth shape of ordinary domestic cats are simply not compatible."

"A bigger cat?" Ye Xiu squeezed his thumb and index finger, making a 'slightly bigger' gesture, "Like a Bengal tiger or something."

"Where did the wild Bengal tiger come from around here? Did you escape from the zoo?"

Ye Xiu really nodded: "Yes, from the zoo."

This answer sounds like nonsense, Su Muqiu didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, just put away the replaced bandage, moved forward half a minute: "Hey, raise your hand a little, I'll bandage it for you."

Ye Xiu glanced at the tactical knife placed by his leg, and Su Muqiu who was bending over to observe the injury, and finally raised his arms slowly according to Su Muqiu's instructions, so that Su Muqiu could move easily.

——Ye Xiu didn't realize that this was the first time he trusted Su Muqiu.

Suddenly, the wound on his waist turned cold, Ye Xiu lowered his head in surprise, the young man picked up the silver and sharp knife at some point, and pressed it against Ye Xiu's waist. His cold gaze was as steady.

——Because the next second, he was held hostage.

"Car, key, key, take, here." Su Muqiu paused every word and declared calmly.
