Undead

"Merciful God, you welcome new souls into eternity, light, and joy, in the fellowship of saints in heaven; when the Lord Jesus comes the second time, those who died in Christ, must first rise from the grave to eternal life."

"Amen."

The priest kissed the silver cross, and the faint skylight passed through the tall stained-glass windows of the church and projected on the black-painted pine coffin.A white woman covered with a black veil squatted down, covered her mouth with her cold palm, barely stopped her sobbing, and hugged the little boy beside her.

"……Mother?"

"Ok?"

"Does God love the world?"

"God..." The woman took a deep breath tremblingly, and said hoarsely, "God loves all living beings, so he gave His only begotten Son, so that all who believe in Him will not perish, but gain eternal life..."

"Then why are we deprived of our liberty, plundered and imprisoned?"

"..."

"Aren't all people born equal?"

The door behind the woman was slammed open, and countless figures rushed into the church in the backlight, shouting and screaming.The woman only had time to take off the pendant around her neck and stuff it into the little boy's hand. Then she was grabbed by several heavily armed soldiers and dragged back forcibly.

"Run, run!" The scream of the struggling woman penetrated the chaos: "Run, get out of here!"

"Don't look back, don't give up!"

"Mom loves you!..."

The church collapsed with a loud bang, and the flames turned into black and white, rushing into the hazy sky.The screams and cries turned into nothingness, and the wind lifted the ashes and scattered them on the vast and desolate land.

The little boy stood and ran in the field, followed by soldiers and hounds chasing after him.A sea of ​​lights gradually flashed ahead, a huge city appeared under the cliff, and the boy jumped amidst the screams of the chasing soldiers!

The gust of wind whizzed past the ears, lifting the pendant on his chest upwards.

The little boy closed his eyes during the rapid fall, and what was reflected in the black pupils at the last moment was the lonely, cold, endless night.

"The dead shall rise to everlasting life—"

He said in his heart:

"Amen."

·

In 2019, T City.

"……what……!"

In the dark, the young man rolled over and sat up. The next moment, severe pain rushed through every nerve like an electric current. The dizziness caused by the pain made him retch immediately.

However, the stomach that hadn't eaten for a day couldn't vomit anything, and nothing happened except the internal organs tightened sharply.After a long while, he finally calmed down after panting, his eyes were barely focused, but all he could see was a small and dark cell with a faint light coming from outside the iron fence.

...What is this place, a prison?

How am I here?

He tried to search for any useful information from his chaotic mind, but he couldn't even remember his own name, and a little thought gave him an unbearable headache.Just as he was trying to get down on the low bed, footsteps and voices came from outside the prison door.

"...The whole city searched for three days and didn't find a few alive. Could it be that the smell of Omega is particularly easy to attract zombies..."

"It is said that Alpha is also, only the useless Beta is relatively safe."

"Forget it, these few Omegas are enough for business..."

The iron lock clanged, followed by the sharp friction of the cell door being opened.The two soldiers walked into the cell. Relying on the dim light in the aisle, they could vaguely see a thin figure lying on his back on the bed, lifeless, and his chest didn't even rise and fall.

"Won't you die?"

A finger wearing a half-fingered glove was stretched out to the end of his nose, and he immediately probed his neck for pulse in a trained manner.

"Coma." The soldier said, "It was like this when I found it. It's rare that it looks good."

The companion laughed: "Come on, this face is muddy and gray, can you see it clearly?"

"It can be seen clearly even if it is eighteen layers thicker."

"You're so hungry!"

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Hunger and thirst are useless, anyway, it won't be cheaper for you and me..."

The young man's eyes were closed tightly, like an unconscious corpse, he felt himself being picked up and walked out of the cell.

During the turbulence of the movement, he raised his eyelids slightly. Because of his narrow field of vision, he could only see the person holding him in Kevlar protective clothing, with hard and strong arm muscles; Labor boots, with a black gun holster on the side of the thigh.

Two Alphas.

The shadow at the corner of the stone corridor shrouded the young man's eyelids in darkness, and he closed his eyes soundlessly.Immediately, two soldiers entered the elevator, ascended, paused, and faced a bright and noisy scene.

Someone was running beside him and yelled: "Pack up your baggage! Prepare to retreat! The base helicopter is on standby on the roof!"

"The city has fallen, there is no time!"

"Hurry up and go!"

The empty-handed companion behind the soldier left in response, and the young man's pupils narrowed slightly, and it was now.

"Take Omega to the helicopter, don't let them escape, and transport them back to the base..."

Just as the soldier was about to answer yes, he suddenly felt that the young Omega in his arms turned his body sideways, leaning towards the ground from his arms——

His first reaction was to bow down to grab it, but at this moment, the young man who was in a severe coma like a corpse reached out and touched the holster on his back waist, hooked his hand and drew the gun, and landed on one knee!

This change was too sudden, before the soldiers roared out, in the same second the young man swept across with his long legs, knocking him over like lightning!

boom!

"what happened?"

"stop!"

There were exclamations all around, and I saw the young man pulling the Alpha soldier's hair to make him hit the ground hard, then picked up the blood-stained soldier, put the muzzle of the gun against his temple, and blocked himself in front of him: "...back... ..."

He wanted to say to back off and not to move, but his throat was hoarse due to the prolonged coma, and he gasped and shouted sharply after a few seconds: "Stop! Put down your weapon!"

All the approaching soldiers in the hall changed expression and stopped at the same time, forming a fan-shaped encirclement, and the scene was tense.

"Lieutenant Colonel, there is an emergency—"

Tang Hao hung up the phone and raised his head: "What?"

"There is an Omega rebelling," the adjutant pointed to the hall not far away, his face still full of shock and anger: "The person who kidnapped us still wants to escape!"

The young man's uncontrollable wheezing was mixed with the Alpha soldier's trembling breathing. The soldier felt the cold muzzle on his temple, and couldn't help swallowing several mouthfuls of bloody saliva, and said hoarsely: "Put... put me down, you Can't run away... ah!"

The young man's iron-like hands pinched deeply into his throat: "—shut up."

This is the public area of ​​the prison, shaped like a circular hall, but it is filled with heavily armed soldiers at the moment. From the corner of the young man's eyes, there are at least a hundred of them.The ground outside the encirclement was full of first aid facilities and stretchers covered with white cloths. It was hard to see how many corpses there were. The air was filled with an indescribable smell of gunpowder smoke, coke, blood and rotting flesh.

What is this, a riot?

war?

Who are you and why are you here?

The exit farther from the hall was locked by a solid iron curtain door. The door post was a small office. A man in camouflage uniform with a dark complexion and a very tall man pushed the door and came striding forward.

The young man retreated step by step, his vigilant gaze fixed on his face, until he separated from the crowd and stepped forward, stood a few steps away, raised his hand and pulled out the pistol at his waist, and the middle part of his coat was impressively exposed during the action. School shoulder badges.

"Let go of my people." Tang Hao looked at the young Omega who had retreated step by step to the corner not far away. Although he was a man of special forces, his body was strong and strong, but his obviously adjusted voice would not give the other party too much. Sense of urgency: "—we saved you, the city has fallen, and you can't escape."

The young man closed his eyes under his gaze, then opened them again: "Who are you?"

Tang Hao didn't answer his question directly: "Our mission is to search and protect Omega, which is a precious strategic material, until we escort you back to the base safely. You will not be in any danger. The base is ready to take over you soon. It will be transferred to a safe area..."

There is no safe zone anymore, a subconscious voice told him.

Not only the city, but the whole country and even the world fell.

The young man was slightly startled, and he didn't understand where the sad cognition came from.

"Let go of your hostages and act like nothing happened. If my soldiers were rude to you, I can apologize to you on their behalf..."

"No...no." Tang Hao's voice was interrupted by the young man, who was leaning against the wall behind him, panting and shaking his head, "Put down the gun and let me go, I must... right now..."

Just as Tang Hao was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.

I only heard wailing from inside the prison building, which actually sounded from not far away, and then the friction sound of countless footsteps dragged from far to near, and the rolling iron door in the distance made the sound of being continuously slapped!

The gray rubble on the wall rustled down, and everyone's expression changed drastically. The adjutant roared: "Lieutenant Colonel! The gate downstairs has been lost, and the zombies are chasing us!"

The young man shouted: "Put down the gun!"

"Lieutenant Colonel!"

"Let me go—!"

Tang Hao turned his head, raised his hand and shot several times!

The electric shock needle bombs with flashing blue lights almost poured on the hostage Alpha soldiers and the young man. The severe pain caused by the electric shock caused the young man to kneel down, fell down immediately, and even lost consciousness within a few seconds.

There was a sudden heaviness in his chest, as if he was firmly pressed down by a huge boulder. It was Tang Hao who stepped forward and pressed his knee on his chest.The young man coughed and spewed blood, and he raised his hand in the next second, but Tang Hao easily grabbed his wrist and pressed it to the ground. The electric current made his twitching muscles unable to even tense.

"..." Tang Hao cursed silently, and his expression was a bit embarrassed - not because of the fight, but because of the blood spurted from the Omega below him.

Even if his face was covered with dust, it couldn't cover the handsome and clear facial features of this young man.His outline is not as soft as ordinary omega, but more deep and distinct, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, straight nose, and a very perfect and neat arc from the chin to the neck.

The pheromone-rich blood spattered on the cuffs of Tang Hao's field uniform, as if he had whipped the Alpha's burning nerve endings hard, causing the unspeakable stimulation to rise rapidly from his instinct.

"The end of the world will put Omega in hell. If you leave here now, the living people outside will be more terrifying than zombies. Especially you," Tang Hao rubbed his thumb on the side of the young man's face, the skin exposed under the dust Shockingly white.

"You can't even survive tonight, maybe being eaten alive by a bunch of zombies would be the most merciful way to die."

"Come and take him away! Retreat at full speed!" As if trying to conceal his instinctive reaction, Tang Hao suddenly got up and walked out.

At this moment, he saw that the expression of the soldier on the other side changed at the same time. Before he had time to react, he felt a strong force coming from his ankle, which pulled him down in the next second——

"Fuck!"

Tang Hao was almost thrown out of the concussion, and the long-preserved rude sentence finally came out of his mouth.

He couldn't believe that the electric shock bomb had failed on this Omega in just a few seconds, but then he caught a glimpse of the young man picking up the gun and leaning it against his ear, with a very hoarse voice almost Sticking it directly on his ear: "I like dying of old age."

The young man pulled out the magazine from Tang Hao's trouser pocket, got up quickly, pointed his gun back and forth at the soldiers in the encirclement, and at the same time stepped back towards the window.

Tang Hao seemed to realize something suddenly, turned around and roared, "No—"

However, it was too late.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man slammed into the glass window and jumped down amidst the broken glass.

——This is the third floor!

Tang Hao rushed to the window like an arrow, and soldiers swarmed behind him.Time seemed to be infinitely stretched to the point of freezing. The young man's thin body turned and arched inch by inch in mid-air, like a bowstring stretched to the extreme, and his black hair flew back.

boom!

Despite such a long distance, the dull sound of landing seemed to hit Tang Hao's ears heavily.

The young man bowed to the ground, rolled over, as precise and perfect as a tactical textbook, got up and knelt down and held his guns in both hands!

Does this person really have any background? !

Tang Hao's eyes finally showed unconcealable puzzlement, and he could only hear his subordinates asking urgently: "Lieutenant Colonel, do you want to chase?"

Tang Hao reached out to stop them—it was too late.

Following his gaze, he saw that in the open space of the parking lot downstairs, a dozen zombies who had not entered the prison building turned around in unison, put down the bloody wreckage in their hands, and staggered towards the young man.

The young man didn't seem to expect this situation, and was stunned when facing the living dead.At the same moment, Tang Hao snatched the gun from his soldier and pulled the trigger without even looking at it. The zombie who was only a few steps away from the young man was shot in the eyebrow.

boom--

The living dead fell to the ground in response, and the body that had already been covered with corpses was stiff. Dark purple and thick blood slowly flowed on the dirty ground, and meandered towards the mouth of the sewer well not far away that had been blocked for many days and was full of stinky water.

The other living dead were not aware of it, just wailed and walked over staggeringly.

"If you get bitten, you will be infected!" Tang Hao roared from above: "It must be the head!!"

Before the words fell, the young man seemed to wake up from some kind of confused dream, and suddenly moved——

Tang Hao couldn't see how he lifted his foot. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out like a whirlwind. When he passed by the second zombie, the other zombie didn't even have time to reach out to stop him, and he saw the afterimage sweeping past. soar into the air.

The young man stepped on the shoulder of the third zombie—a felon who escaped from prison when the zombie tide broke out. Half of his face had been torn off, and broken sharp teeth could be seen faintly in the black and red carrion. With a burst of shots, among the swarming undead, the heads of the first few zombies that tried to reach out to him exploded.

However, more living dead rushed over, Tang Hao could see clearly from the window sill on the third floor, and even the zombies wandering in the street came here in groups!

—He didn't have enough bullets!

The young man jumped forward without any hesitation or fear.He was almost stepping on the heads and shoulders of all the zombies, every step was as fast as lightning and extremely thrilling, within a few seconds he crossed the forest-like zombie crowd, knelt down on one knee, and landed on the car outside the prison gate. sidewalk.

Tang Hao instantly understood what he was going to do, and raised his eyebrows.

As he expected, the young man got up without even pausing, and rushed towards the nearest car like a cannonball.

It was an ordinary Toyota Camry, with the front and rear doors fully open, and the driver had turned into a bloody middle-aged male corpse, howling continuously under the restraint of the seat belt, scratching blankly forward with blue fingers.

The group of zombies turned around and chased after each other, their heavy footsteps getting closer and closer.Without looking back again, the young man smashed the driver's head with a single shot, lifted the body and threw it out of the car, twisted himself into the driver's seat, and slammed the door shut.

The male corpse fell into the group of corpses, tripping the nearest living dead. Tang Hao put down his binoculars in the distance, his expression slightly gloomy.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we must retreat immediately, the shutter door has already..."

The solid iron curtain door at the end of the hall was already crumbling under the tireless beating of the zombies, and the large concrete block rustled down, and was finally torn alive with a nervous creaking sound.

Ragged, bloody zombies poured in like a tide, the soldiers in the front row fired loudly, and the prison hall suddenly became a bloody Shura field!

Tang Hao strode forward, shook his shoulders, and unloaded the MP5 automatic micro-charger from his back. Bullets poured into the zombies that kept climbing into the hall like a storm. Fly backwards.

"Lieutenant Colonel!"

Tang Hao retreated while fighting, without turning his head, he waved his left hand sharply from top to bottom: "Go!"

The soldiers quickly retreated from the safe corridor, and at the last moment when they stepped out of the threshold, Tang Hao looked away from the terrifying face of the living dead a few meters away, and looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows——

On the streets full of zombies, ruins and scrapped vehicles, the silver Camry, like a sharp arrow that splits the blood waves, went through the thorns, and soon disappeared at the end of the burning street.

Tang Hao withdrew his gaze, kicked up the safety corridor door, and blocked the zombies scrambling for the first place in the hall.Groups of soldiers rushed to the roof, and the moment he turned around, he keenly caught a breath, and his Adam's apple slid violently on his strong neck.

——It came from the cuffs of his camouflage uniform, the smell of sweet and fishy Omega pheromone.

"Colonel?" the soldier asked.

Tang Hao took two steps at a time, and touched the blood on his sleeve with the muzzle of a gun:

"After returning to the base, extract the DNA and compare it with the population information registration database of T City. I want to know the identity background of this Omega."

The men nodded.
