Undead

However, Si Nan didn't fall asleep.

He tried to make the spirit a state of complete emptiness, like a fish swimming in the deep sea, slowly diving into meditation, catching fragmentary, broken fragments like cotton wool from the depths of memory.

"...The born weak must be guarded..."

"Run, run!"

"The humiliation I endured today will be repaid double in the future!..."

"Tell your officers to come out," a silhouette in the wind stood in front of the high iron gate, and said indifferently, "I have something to talk to him about."

At the next moment, a man who couldn't see his face came towards him. Before he could speak, he was punched so hard that his mouth and nose bleed, and he fell backwards!

Running, yelling, people's voices were noisy, and I don't know how many soldiers stopped him from the side, but it didn't help.Suddenly the picture changed, and the dim light leaked from the narrow window of the confinement room, outlining a cold light and shadow on the cement stone platform. He was sitting on the edge of the bed with his coat on, his hands palms together, and his fingertips resting on the eyebrows. There was a rush of running outside the door, and the crisp sound of keys clattering.

He stood up and the door opened.

"The inside, the inside broke out, the laboratory can't be closed... the cordon has been broken, the car is waiting for you outside, come with me..."

He took a titanium alloy freezer and walked out of the confinement room. The faint light at the end of the corridor turned into stars, and the long distance under his feet was a journey that would never end.

never ending...

The armored vehicle screeched to a sudden stop, and Sinan bounced forward, waking up with a start.

In an instant, he came face to face with the densely packed zombies in front of the car window, only to hear the driver roar: "Arrive at the destination! Quickly clean up and break through! The people inside are ready to respond—!"

The vehicle-mounted machine gun above his head emitted scorching flames. Zhou Rong took off his coat and wore a black vest. The heat-insulated gloves were terribly burned by the gun barrel, and he took turns firing at the zombies at the crossroads.

However, there are too many zombies crowded on the commercial street in the center of the city. After sweeping wave after wave, there is a sea of ​​death as far as the eye can see. All the team members climbed on the roof of the car to provide fire support, but they can only barely clear a few meters of open space for the The armored vehicle moved slowly in the sea of ​​corpses.

This driving speed comparable to the morning rush hour is very dangerous. The car body was almost overturned by endless zombies several times.

Zhou Rong yelled in the intercom headset: "Yingjie comes up for fire support! I'll drive!"

The driver opened the roof window in response, jumped onto the roof, Zhou Rong took the opportunity to slide down from the driver's seat, and stomped on the accelerator to death!

With a bang, the armored vehicle leaped forward tens of meters, pulling countless living dead into the bottom of the vehicle.At this time, there was only a click, and the driver's side window was shattered!

"Oh—" Several pairs of dry hands reached into the car window at the same time and grabbed Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong dodged sideways, Sinan cooperated in time, and shot back the zombies from the side: "Where is the refuge?"

"under!"

"where?!"

Zhou Rongteng didn't make a move, but raised his chin forward.

A few hundred meters away, a shopping mall building stands at the end of Zhongxin Street, and the words "Shocking Great Deals for the Grand Opening" are flying in the air.

Si Nan smashed the zombie's head with a single shot, and at the same time dodged back, the foul-smelling gray-black brain splashed out and splashed Zhou Rong's half body, only to hear him yelling: "Damn!"

Simon: "Who the fuck?"

Zhou Rong's left hand is the zombies scrambling to climb the window, and his right hand is Si Nan with the gun. After weighing it over and over again, he scolded: "...this broken shopping mall is killing my father, why don't you give me a discount, no wonder there are so many people outside! Fuck his ancestors!"

At this time, the radio above the head buzzed, and it was very clear in the cab where the bullet casings were bouncing around, and a sharp female voice came out: "0011 call the command! Call the command!! Do you need support? Repeat, yes need help?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Rong pressed Sinan, slammed on the brake, connected to the intercom on the roof, and let out a deafening roar with almost all his strength: "All come down—! Lock the roof, and immediately—" !"

Before the words were finished, light suddenly flashed on the top of the shopping mall in the distance.

The next moment, white light rushed into the air, overwhelming the sky, and the fire and strong light swept the earth in an instant!

The armored car was like a kite with a broken string in the explosion, and it rushed out more than ten meters in an instant, the windows of the car were all shattered, and everyone let out an inaudible roar in the terrible flip.

I don't know how long it has passed, it seems like a long century, Si Nanju regained consciousness panting, vaguely felt that something was wrong, and struggled to hold up his upper body to take a look.

In front of the nose are Zhou Rong's camouflage pants...the crotch.

Zhou Rong supported his forehead with one hand, the corner of his mouth twitched, and his voice trembled because of the severe pain:

"If Lao Tzu is crippled, you must not even try to run away..."

All the team members stood up moaning one after another, and saw outside the car window, the single-person rocket launcher wiped out the zombies in most of the block. It was too horrible to see, and billowing thick smoke enveloped the once bustling commercial street.

Zilazila...the female voice coughed and appeared: "Hi everyone, are you still alive? Repeat, are there still alive?"

Zhou Rong asked: "Chuncao, let's have a discussion. Let's discuss it before firing the gun next time, okay? Do you know that Brother Rong almost lost his children and grandchildren just now?"

Chuncao said: "Anyway, you're useless, so just cut it up."

Sinan glanced at Zhou Rong with a strange look.

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Rong was extremely sensitive to any stimulation at the moment.

"……nothing."

Unexpectedly, the boy with the surname Yan was the one on the top, Si Nan thought, it's really hard to judge by appearance.

·

Thanks to the rocket launcher, the battered armored vehicle finally stumbled through the block and arrived at the final destination - the shelter.

It is the underground warehouse of this shopping mall. It used to be an air-raid shelter in the middle of the last century. It has an excellent military construction foundation and resisted several rounds of attacks from the army of the living dead when the infection broke out.

Right now, there are thousands of people hiding in this underground shelter, most of them are customers and employees of the mall, men, women and children, and suppressed crying echoes everywhere.

Zhou Rong finally connected with his teammates, and said enthusiastically, "Cao'er!"

Chuncao: "Captain!"

Si Nan flashed, Chuncao ran past him close to his side, the two hugged and spun, Zhou Rong effortlessly picked up the girl who was just up to his shoulder and walked around twice, if this is a cartoon, there must be someone at this moment Lasagna tears spread 360° in all directions.

"No more bullets," Chuncao said with eager tears in her eyes, "I took Dading and Xiangzi out to clean the corridor last night, and all the bullets were gone. The one on the top of the building just now emptied our last rocket launcher... not bad I have enough food, I asked the people in the property to block the doors and windows of the warehouse, because I am afraid that zombies will rush in again, so I can't go up and fight me..."

Zhou Rong touched her head and said lovingly, "Call me Dad."

Chuncao immediately said, "Father."

Zhou Rong withdrew two bullets from the gun barrel, grabbed the palm of his cheap daughter and spread them out, first put down both bullets, and took one back after thinking about it.

"The last two of the team." Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Keep it for yourself."

Chuncao immediately severed the relationship between father and daughter, and left indifferently.

At the beginning of the chaos, a total of 3000 to [-] people fled to this shelter, but infected people were already mixed in among them. After entering the confined space, they turned into zombies and quickly infected most of the surviving people.

Fortunately, several team members under Zhou Rong got in touch with the local government and escorted the medical team to the place in time. After several cleanings, there were only more than 1000 living people left. All of them have passed preliminary inspections and confirmed that there are no potential infected persons.

So Chuncao took a few teammates, dragged the killed zombies out and burned them, and cleaned up the zombies wandering inside the shopping mall and in the safe corridors. The food was still running out, and they could only anxiously wait for Zhou Rong to come to the rescue.

"Ahem," Zhou Rong stepped on the milk crate, accidentally bumped into the overhead light, and quickly covered his head.

The dark crowd on the ground watched blankly, and the sobbing of women and children could be heard from time to time, but it quickly subsided.

"Are you here to save us?" Someone asked boldly.

"I'm the captain of the Sixth Squadron of the Secrecy Brigade of Unit 118 under the B Military Region." Zhou Rong took out the crumpled official letter again, and solemnly showed it to the crowd. Under the lights of the underground warehouse, the bright red official seal was particularly conspicuous.

As if gaining some confidence from that red, the crowd was a little excited.

"The superior sent me here with a positioning device to confirm the safety of the people and ensure social order during the outbreak of the epidemic. At the same time, I sent a positioning signal to the superior unit. Soon the government will organize forces to rescue everyone."

"During this period, please stay calm, don't panic, don't believe in rumors, work and rest on time, and take your body temperature consciously and regularly..."

"What's going on outside, are those monsters zombies?" A man in the front row asked sharply.

Zhou Rong said: "It's just some kind of mutated rabies virus, please don't believe in rumors, next one."

"Us, ours," a girl cried, "what about our family?"

"Yeah, my child is still in school..."

"My wife she..."

"My mother is over 80!..."

Under the light, the lines of Zhou Rong's side cheeks were slightly tightened, giving people a cold and stern look.

But then he laughed. Although it was only a short arc, he was very calm and convincing, and his tone was adjusted to a very stable state: "The army will not abandon any citizens, please rest assured."

The signs of panic subsided slightly, people had no choice but to believe, and more questions emerged: "When will rescue come?"

"Where are we going to be sent?"

"When will the plague pass, and will the government send us back?"

……

Si Nan leaned against the shelf, staring at Zhou Rong who answered each question patiently, with an unnoticeable line between his brows.

Not far behind him, spring grass hooked Yan Hao's shoulders, crooked and out of shape, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you keep looking over there? That man is dirty, he's still a Beta."

"I do not have."

"Hey - you just have it."

Yan Hao smiled and said: "Tomorrow the helicopter will come to pick up the people, and we will also..."

Before the words finished, Sinan turned around and passed the two of them, walking towards the back door of the warehouse.

"Sinan!" Yan Hao followed in a few steps and asked, "It's not safe outside, where are you going?"

Si Nan replied politely: "Take a shower."

In the simple bathroom in the rest room of the warehouse staff, the hot water poured down, and the white steam quickly evaporated, blurring the dirty ventilation window.

Si Nan stood under the nozzle with his eyes closed, feeling that the water flow took away the solidified dust, sand and blood, and his body gradually returned to smoothness. The water slid from his naked body to his heels, and flowed into the sewer, making a gurgling sound.

He didn't know how long he hadn't showered, but now he felt that every pore was stretched, and the muscles and bones released the last trace of soreness; if the skin could make a sound automatically, it should be singing praises.

After a while he turned off the water, hastily dried his body, and wiped off the moisture on the mirror, finally a face unobstructed by mud, sand and dust was reflected in front of his eyes.

Among most Asian-European mixed races, Asian genes always have an overwhelming advantage, and the same is true for Sinan.But if you look closely, you can still see the soul-stirring beauty of his mother through the ages from the eyebrows, the corners of the eyes and the outline of the side cheeks.

It's just that the woman's touching fragility disappeared from him, replaced by a certain kind of hardness and determination, as if it had been rough polished by fate for many years.

Si Nan bent down to put on his trousers, picked up his shirt, and was about to put it on, when he caught a glimpse of something in the mirror and stopped.

"..."

He turned around almost inch by inch, staring at his right back shoulder, and suddenly understood why he was unconscious before——

Behind the smooth shoulder blades, there was a palm-sized bite mark. The skin and flesh had dried up, showing a shocking purple-black color.

——That's the tooth print of a zombie.

"Brother Rong just sent a positioning signal, and tomorrow afternoon the airship will pick up these survivors to Military Area B..." The spring grass in the corridor hooked Yan Hao's neck, his voice suddenly stopped, and he looked behind him.

Yan Hao asked casually: "What's wrong with you?" Looking back, he was also stunned.

A young man came out from the bathroom door, his hair was extremely black after being wet, and the small half of his face exposed sideways was soaked in water vapor, showing a kind of cold white without the slightest color of blood.

He turned around and saw Yan Hao, he didn't speak or move for a few seconds, a pair of bright amber seemed to be hidden deep in his pupils.After a while he smiled briefly, unloaded the carbine from his shoulder, and threw it back.

Yan Hao caught it subconsciously, and only heard him say: "Repay you."

"Sinan..." Yan Hao subconsciously stopped him, but saw Sinan turn around and walk towards the warehouse.

His body proportions are good, the hem of his shirt is casually tucked into his back waist, and the waistband of his trousers hangs on his hips. When he walks, he can see his sharp and agile skills.Chuncao poked Yan Hao's arm, covered half of her mouth and asked in a low voice: "...do you still look at your face when you save people?"

Zhou Rong finally got away from the crowd, and after dealing with the manager of the shopping mall who was holding his hand with his nose and tears, he looked up and saw Sinan standing in the shadow behind the door, with one hand in his trouser pocket, staring at him without saying a word .

Zhou Rong sized him up for a moment, then stroked his chin maliciously: "What are you doing, come to make an appointment?"

"..."

"No appointment during working hours, you can consider after returning to the base... what are you doing?"

Sinan unbuttoned the third button, opened the collar slightly, and motioned him to look at the back shoulder, where a clear corner of the zombie's tooth marks appeared in the shadow.

"...I might be infected," he hoarsely said.

Zhou Rong's face was livid, and he stood there for a long time.
