Undead

The sound of the wind swept across the roof with whimpers, and the footsteps of zombies accompanied by roars sounded from the empty and dark interior of the building.

Si Nan's wrists were tightly twisted behind Zhou Rong's back, he raised his chin and stared at Yan Hao condescendingly, and asked word by word for a long time, "How much is your life worth?"

The bleak moonlight leaked from the dark clouds, reflecting Yan Hao's pale face.

"Sinan, calm down, listen to me." Zhou Rong's voice in Sinan's ear was quite urgent, while pulling him back hard, he tried his best to comfort him in a low voice: "It's my idea, it has nothing to do with Yan Hao. Brother Rong must not be infected, ah, be obedient, be obedient Si Xiaonan...Sinan!"

The tone of the ending changed suddenly, and Zhou Rong felt a strong attack coming from in front of him. It was Sinan—he broke free from his wrist, turned around in an indescribable gesture, and threw Zhou Rong with a thunderous sweep of his legs. out!

That skill was too fast, Zhou Rong got up quickly, but under Si Nan's aggressive melee attack, he could only lose step by step.Yan Hao took advantage of the gap to stand up and retreat, but it was too late to take two steps. Sinan grabbed Zhou Rong's arm and threw him off his shoulders to the ground like a whirlwind.

In the blink of an eye, he flew in front of Yan Hao, stepped on his chest, and flew up with his strength.Yan Hao could only feel the strong wind blowing towards his face, and the experienced special soldier didn't even have time to react, he was hit on the side of the skull by a deep and ruthless backspin kick in the air, and fell out on the spot spurting blood!

The accident happened too fast.Si Nan never really took action against this group of special forces, but at this moment, like a wild cheetah finally unable to restrain his ferocity, he eliminated them in less than five seconds.

Ning Yu only had time to open the helicopter hatch, and shouted loudly amidst the wind: "Wait—"

Yan Hao felt his lumbar spine sink.In the severe dizziness, he realized that Sinan's knees had pushed him against the hard concrete floor, and then his fingers that were tightly clenched with the antibody were pulled away one by one.

"Sinan, Sinan, don't be like this..." Yan Hao said in pain, "Sinan..."

Sinan turned a deaf ear to it, panting hoarsely and bloody.Just when he was about to forcefully break off Yan Hao's last finger, his throat suddenly tightened.

Zhou Rong staggered from behind, grabbed Sinan's neck tightly with his elbows, dragged him away from Yan Hao with almost all his strength, dragged him several meters alive, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

"Look at me, Sinan, look at me." Zhou Rong squeezed him into the corner, pressed his whole body on him, blocked all the exits of Sinan's struggle with this desperate gesture, and forcibly pulled his chin to order He looked into his eyes: "I am your brother Rong, have you seen it? How can you bear to do something to Brother Rong? Ah?"

Sinan's short hair was drenched with sweat, and his slender, black eyebrows were twisted together. In contrast, his face was astonishingly white.Zhou Rong hugged Sinan's head with trembling hands, forcing him not to break free, and could only look into his own eyes: "It's okay, don't cry, it's okay... Be obedient, Si Xiaonan, you let Brother Rong take that injection, just in case the antibody What should we do if we are gone now? Brother Rong, what face does he have to live on?"

Si Nan paused and said: "You guys have an appointment, you..."

Zhou Rong said: "Yes, it's my idea, it's none of Yan Hao's business. Calm down and listen to me...Sinan!"

Zhou Rong pressed back Sinan, who was struggling again: "Listen to me! Only one out of ten antibodies can survive. Do you want to bet the hope of all mankind on this one-tenth chance? Huh? What if you lose the bet?!"

Sinan let go of Zhou Rong's collar little by little, his palms already soaked in the gurgling black blood.

The blood was cold, but it burned his fingers sharply.

"What if... what if I win the bet?" Zhou Rong asked tremblingly, "How do you let me live and face myself? You might as well kill me, wouldn't you?"

On the other side, Ning Yu came striding forward, the neckline and hem of his white coat fluttering violently in the strong wind, and he knelt on the ground to open his medicine box.

Si Nan leaned against the corner slumped, with his hands deeply inserted into his hair, and the infected black blood rubbed against the corners of his eyes and brows, and Zhou Rong wiped it away vigorously with his hands.

"Please, please, Sinan? Listen." Zhou Rong pulled his hand away, then lifted the hem of his T-shirt to wipe the blood on his palm, and said hoarsely over and over again: "You have to live, I beg you to live on. You are still young, and you haven’t seen anyone better than Brother Rong. In the future, you will meet someone who will truly accompany you for the rest of your life... Let’s be sad for a while, and forget about it after a while, okay? Brother Rong will always love you."

"I will always love you," Zhou Rong murmured and repeated, his hard cheeks were warm and moist, and he didn't know that he would still cry.

That is actually regret.

Will Simon be sad for a while and then forget?

will not.

He knew that if he didn't mark Sinan, if Sinan was still an Omega who came and went freely, then he might indeed be sad for a while, maybe a few months, maybe a year or two, and one day the sadness would fade from his heart with time, Like shadows fading in the rising sun.

However, everything becomes different after the marking. The psychologically and physically established connection is difficult to be automatically broken with death. He can die, but Sinan will walk for a long, long time in a long and lonely time.Even if the effects of pheromones are surgically removed, the deeper imprints on the soul will never disappear.

This cruel cognition made Zhou Rong fear and regret more than death.

The heart, liver and lungs were pierced by the sharp blade, and the blade was twisted into the weakest flesh of the heart, until the internal organs were rotten into a puddle of blood.

Simon is innocent.

He was completely seduced by himself, ignorantly stepped into a fatal trap, and dedicated his extremely precious love that everyone wanted to unreservedly to a person who was not worth it at all.

Zhou Rong has never felt his selfishness and despicableness so clearly like this moment. If time could be turned back, he would definitely travel back to that New Year's Eve when the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and pinch the self who induced Sinan to be in estrus in every possible way, and put him Push out the door to get killed in the snow.

But now it's too late.

Every time Zhou Rong took a breath, there was a rough fishy heat. He forced Sinan's head to his chest, turned his head and kept signaling Yan Hao to go first.

With tears in his eyes, Yan Hao stared at Sinan for a moment, his eyes were very sad and desperate.Then his gaze shifted to Zhou Rong again, as if saying a final farewell, he slowly stepped back towards the iron gate of the rooftop.

But just as he quickly retreated to the door, Ning Yu suddenly stood up, staggering towards Zhou Rong in the strong wind: "Wait!"

As soon as Zhou Rong was distracted, the grip on the back of Sinan's neck loosened. Sinan raised his eyes and saw Yan Hao who was about to retreat, and immediately broke out a new round of struggle.Zhou Rong immediately hugged him tightly, and yelled at Ning Yu, "What do you want to do?!"

"This!" Ning Yu knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Rong, pointed to the light yellow glass bottle in his hand, and then pointed to Si Nan, trying his best to hear the voice amidst the roar of the helicopter engine: "Serum!"

Zhou Rong was taken aback.

"I took 800cc of Sinan's blood. Before I left, I only had time to separate this serum. I was going to give it to Chen Yajing as an experiment, but you took it away before I injected it. The serum may temporarily resist toxicity. Do you want to use it?"

Zhou Rong stared at the bottle of light yellow liquid in front of him, and then he suddenly remembered the reason why Chen Yajing came to the underground laboratory alone during the zombie siege - to test the anti-toxicity of the serum at the last moment.

He was about to speak when Si Nan suddenly said angrily: "No!"

"Sinan?"

"Serum is lethal." Sinan said hoarsely: "Ning Yu only tried it once, and within a few minutes after injection... that person died suddenly..."

The glimmer of hope that had just risen turned cold, and Zhou Rong couldn't say anything for a moment.

Ning Yu said coldly: "Yes, or you can try that antibody that you don't know has expired. You should have found it from a military laboratory, right? The medical community had conducted research in the early days of the virus outbreak. The cure rate of antibodies is not one-tenth, but between 1% and 3%." He turned his head to look at Yan Hao, and asked, "Have you had antibodies?"

Yan Hao was at a loss and nodded.

Ning Yu said: "Very good, young man, you will definitely get rich by buying lottery tickets."

Zhou Rong didn't know what kind of expression he should show, a twisted absurdity and funnyness suddenly appeared in his despair.

Si Nan grabbed his shoulders and wanted to stand up. Following this movement, Yan Hao immediately took two steps back and firmly grasped the handle of the iron door on the roof—but the next second, Zhou Rong suddenly pulled Si Nan into the room. Putting his arms in his arms, he tapped his slightly bearded chin on the back of Sinan's neck, like a male wolf smelling fresh flesh, greedily took a big breath of his own Omega.

As if he had acquired infinite courage through this action, he kissed Si Nan on his temples, raised his eyes and said, "I'll hit you."

"What are you doing?" Sinan snapped, "You will die!"

"I'm going to die now too." Zhou Rong answered him gently, rubbing his face, and said with red eyes: "Don't you want me to use your serum? Don't you believe that you can save Brother Rong, huh? Si Xiaonan ?”

Si Nan couldn't answer him, so he could only lean into the corner slumped, with one hand deeply inserted into the hair on his forehead, covering half of his eyes.

Zhou Rong stood up, leaned down and kissed his thin wrist with bulging veins.Their faces were so close at that moment, but their expressions were completely different; Sinan closed his eyes in pain, while Zhou Rong's deeply furrowed brows were full of reverence.

Ning Yu raised the flashlight to look at the wound on the back of Zhou Rong's neck.It was originally a slight scratch half the length of a small fingernail, but it quickly festered and infected under the action of the Pandora virus, and now the wound has eroded.Ning Yu slowly pushed the air out of the syringe, gestured at the wound, and said without raising her head, "Congratulations on becoming my No. 90 six live experimenters, Captain Zhou."

Zhou Rong laughed at himself: "Is there any special meaning?"

"No." Ning Yu said, "But at least 96 is an auspicious number."

Si Nan sat with his back against the wall, buried his face deeply in his hands.Zhou Rong wanted to pull his fingers, but just as he raised his arm, a tingling pain suddenly came from the back of his neck, which had already been paralyzed, which caught him off guard and let out an "ah".

"The wound is too big, it will hurt." Ning Yu mocked behind him: "But you should thank me for separating a lot of serum, enough for infiltration injection."

Zhou Rong has never experienced such a painful injection in his life. He only felt the fire flow against the nerves, and even his voice changed: "A lot of serum...does it help...anti-virus..."

"It's possible," Ning Yu said, "in case of sudden death, it will die faster and with less pain."

Zhou Rong smiled wryly, and it took several minutes before the injection was over, and he let out a long breath.

"Don't cry, Si Xiaonan, look at Brother Rong and you are really united this time..." Zhou Rongqiang jokingly leaned forward to hook Sinan's little finger as if to please him. I couldn't even send it out, and the next second I only heard a heavy sound coming from my ear-boom!

It took several long seconds before his sluggish nerves realized: Oh, he fell.

Both Ning Yu and Yan Hao rushed over, but they were both blocked by Si Nan. In a haze, he saw that Yan Hao might have been grabbed by Si Nan's collar and punched him.He wanted to stop him, but he didn't even have the strength to speak. He saw Si Nan half-kneeling beside him, wrapping one arm around his shoulder, and then half-supporting and half-carrying him up.

Yan Hao's eyes were red, he touched the corner of his bleeding mouth and took half a step forward, but stopped again.

Zhou Rong's weight was still too much for Sinan, he walked very staggeringly, but without looking up at anyone, he just carried Zhou Rong to the lee of the roof, and sat down in the corner cuddling each other.

"Don't move, you're cold..." Zhou Rong said vaguely.

But Sinan still took off his coat, insisted on wrapping it around Zhou Rong's shoulders, and tightly held Zhou Rong's warm and strong hands.

"You can't go," Sinan raised his hand to his lips, and said hoarsely, "I came back because of you, you can't go."

The powerful serum and virus fought a silent and brutal life-and-death struggle in the body. The rot continued to develop deep in the muscles, and then reversed.Zhou Rong moved his lips weakly, and after a while he made a difficult voice: "What?"

"——I haven't asked your name yet, Brother Rong." Sinan whispered, "As long as you call me Brother Rong, you will come to save me no matter where you are. Did you say that?"

Zhou Rong was in a daze, his eyesight was blurred, the deep night in the jungle many years ago overlapped with this moment, Si Nan's figure strangely returned to his boyhood, he smiled at him in the bonfire, there was a strange and cunning look in the depths of his eyes light spot.

"I haven't asked your name yet, let me remember it."

"My surname is Zhou..."

"Rong, who fights with soldiers and horses, how about you?"

The sunlight 11 years ago passed through the bushes and cast thousands of colorful halos on the grass.

Sweat was pouring down, the cicadas were singing deafeningly, the young special soldier was tied to the tree trunk and yelled angrily, until the young man who couldn't see his face stood on tiptoe and printed a soft kiss on his chin.

"Clock," the boy said with a grin.

"..."

"I won't say the name. If we can meet again, I will definitely tell you."

The once impressive face, but gradually blurred with the passage of 11 years of wind and sand, finally became clear again in front of Zhou Rong's eyes. The clear and beautiful pupils were like precious amber, and a smile appeared across time and space.

"Noah," Sinan said in a low voice, pressing his thin and cold lips against Zhou Rong's fingers, "My name used to be Noah."

"I didn't mean to lie to you, Zhou Rong, you were handsome at that time."

"Since that year, I've kind of liked you."

·

Ten minutes after the serum injection, Zhou Rong lost consciousness and immediately fell into a deep coma.

Ning Yu closely observed his situation with a flashlight. Zhou Rong was lying on the ground with his upper body leaning on Sinan's arms, his eyes were black and blue, and his breathing was weak and intermittent.He was almost dehydrated due to constant sweating, his sexy and handsome face became gray and haggard, and black blood spots continued to appear around the festering wound on the back of his neck.

Under the light of the flashlight, the virus caused those blood spots to continuously float up from under the skin, and the power of the serum made them disappear one after another, making the surface of the wound appear very unstable.

Ning Yu stood up, only to hear Yan Hao softly ask behind him: "How is it?"

Ning Yu didn't really want to touch Sinan's bad luck.He could see that this handsome individual combat expert was more than enough to hit everyone with one hand, so he took two steps back before shaking his head and said: "It's not very good."

Yan Hao's already pale face turned even paler, it could be called turning blue.

Ning Yu asked: "What did Zhou Rong tell you in the stairwell just now?"

Yan Hao didn't answer, but Ning Yu had a teasing look behind his glasses: "Could it be that he asked you to ask for help, entrusted his Omega to you, and used pheromone to attract people to ensure that you can bring him back to the army safely?" Fang base?"

He didn't wait for an answer immediately, but when he looked back, he saw that Yan Hao's brows were tightly furrowed, his usual gentle appearance turned out to be uncharacteristically stern and serious, and he said, "Dr. I beat you with my hands."

Ning Yu laughed and didn't care at all: "Then what did you say?"

Yan Hao was staring at the back not far away, Si Nan put his arms around Zhou Rong, resting his chin on the top of Zhou Rong's head, his black hair covered his neck, and his back showed a smooth, beautiful and powerful arc.

Yan Hao looked away for a while: "When we left the 118th Brigade and went to T City, we accepted a confidential mission. A military figure who defected from country A is bringing important resources to our country. We must successfully meet him. And escort him back to Military Region B."

"The age, appearance, and occupation of the mission target are unknown. We were told that he is an Omega. He has learned all the information about us and will take the initiative to contact us after arriving at the destination. Therefore, we can only wait passively in T City for two weeks. Afterwards, we only waited for the news that the mission target plane crashed and may have died. Before we had time to start the search and rescue along the route, the zombie virus broke out.”

Ning Yu asked: "So you didn't complete this task in the end?"

"No." Yan Hao said, "But the captain told me in the corridor just now that he began to suspect that we might have found this person."

Ning Yu raised his eyebrows, only to hear Yan Haofang's voice softened: "We met Sinan in T City. He rescued us, never mentioning his previous experience, and took the survivors thousands of miles south. Romuel and others from the Chinese military hunted him down. The captain said that if his serum has anti-toxicity, then he is likely to be the target of the mission that the 118th Brigade was responsible for responding and protecting.”

"The so-called 'carrying important resources' has also been explained-he doesn't need to carry anything, he himself is the most important resource, but he doesn't know why he defected from country A."

The headlights of the helicopter shot into the night through the strong wind. Ning Yu turned her head slowly, with a subtle mockery in her tone: "So, if Zhou Rong wants to leave after his death, what are you going to do?"

Yan Hao was silent for a moment, then sat staggeringly on the ground, the fist holding the test tube was firmly pressed against his mouth, there was a dark and unconcealable sadness under the long eyelashes.

"...I don't know." He said after a long time, "But I will try my best to escort the captain's body back to the military base. I hope... I hope Sinan can look at the last point and go with us."

Si Nan's voice suddenly sounded in front of him: "Zhou Rong!"

The two raised their heads at the same time, and Ning Yu rushed over. Zhou Rong's breathing was short and rapid, his closed eyelids trembled sharply, his body was convulsed and tense, and the wound on the back of his neck was torn apart in the struggle. According to the photo, what came out was actually a large stream of purple blood!

Si Nan pressed Zhou Rong's pulse with two fingers, and said sharply, "Where's the serum?! Give him another tube, hurry up!"

"...No more," Ning Yu gasped, shaking her head, "No more, it's all over."

"He's going to bleed profusely!"

"Now this situation can only be resigned to fate..."

Si Nan blurted out curses, knelt half-kneeling beside Zhou Rong, hammered his chest several times, then leaned over to listen to his heartbeat, and massaged his external heart vigorously with trembling hands.

"Zhou Rong! Wake up!" He shouted hoarsely, "Zhou Rong!"

With a muffled bang, Zhou Rong's body jumped violently, and several bloody arrows spewed out from the back of his neck like a ruptured artery!

Ning Yu: "Team Zhou?!"

Yan Hao: "Captain!!"

Sinan's pupils constricted suddenly, and amidst the uncontrollable exclamations of the other two, he saw the blood arrow splashing on the ground, and bright red traces slowly appeared in the purple black.

……

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

A voice in the distance through the afternoon breeze called, "Come here, Captain!"

Zhou Rong's head was dizzy, and the foreground was suddenly near and far away, like a vortex formed by colors.He didn't know how long it took before he slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was the playground full of sunshine and dusty, and the teams of army green were like poplars rising from the ground.

Suddenly, I don't know what happened, and the soldiers exploded.

"Oh shit!"

"stop!"

He subconsciously ran in his dream, squeezed through the angry crowd, and stopped at the side of the training field.There was a man lying in the middle of the open space. Zhou Rong recognized that it was the director Liu of their 118 brigade. His face was covered with blood, he was unconscious, and his sternum had obviously collapsed.

"mean!"

"Such a heavy hand!"

"What's the use of fighting fiercely? The drill is not a nineteen vs. eight battle loss ratio!"

……

A young man's fingertips hovered in front of Mr. Liu's throat, and with his back to them, he stood up slowly.

He has short black hair, wears a gray and white snow field uniform, and wears a metal white eagle emblem on his left arm.The fighting didn't affect his neat appearance in any way, and the scolding around him didn't seem to reach his ears at all.

Zhou Rong inexplicably felt that the back was a little familiar, but the dream was too noisy and chaotic, and he stopped in a daze.

"It's him!" Someone said angrily.

"Instructor Baiying, you fucking pervert!"

The young man seemed to notice something and turned his head slightly.

He was wearing aviator sunglasses, his black hair stood up vigorously on his forehead, and his straight and slanted eyebrows were exposed on the edge of the frame.Although he represents the military of country A, his height and hair color are very Asian, and the handsome outline of the lower half of his face is deeper than that of Asians.

Across the crowd, his eyes happened to meet Zhou Rong's.

The young White Eagle instructor didn't seem to recognize it, but a few seconds later, a subtle twitch appeared on the brow of his brow, as if there was a little hidden surprise.In the dream, Zhou Rong stood at the same place blankly, only to see the corner of his lips hooked towards him.

Those were a pair of very light-colored and thinly pursed lips, which looked very cold and heartless at first glance.

There was a raging fire burning in the back of my mind, and my limbs were excruciatingly painful, making my thinking confused like boiled mud soup.In the chaotic agony, Zhou Rong vaguely recalled what happened next——the white eagle instructor stepped over Mr. Liu, who had four broken ribs, walked through the crowd, and walked towards the distance as if nothing had happened. .

However, the development in the dream is completely opposite to the reality.

He watched helplessly as the other party turned around and walked forward step by step.

Consciousness sank in the deep sea, and the noise and yelling quickly disappeared above the water surface.The surroundings became very quiet. Instructor Baiying walked up to Zhou Rong, took off his sunglasses, and reached out to him.

——All actions are like a year after this scene happened, on that similar afternoon, in the pharmacy in T City.

The young man who had just rescued them on the street took off his motorcycle helmet, frowned his long black eyebrows, looked at Zhou Rong distrustfully for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand: "My name is Sinan."

The white eagle instructor on the playground after noon in the dream spoke, and the two voices overlapped in the void, with a familiar hoarseness and laziness: "Sinan, the north and the south are south."

"I came back because of you..."

"You must not leave."

On the roof of the building in the night, Zhou Rong suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood!

Yan Hao yelled something, Ning Yu rushed forward, and the wind from the helicopter shattered all the shouts.Zhou Rong turned over in a strong convulsion and gasp, propped his elbow on the ground, and suddenly coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough! cough cough—"

Si Nan stretched out his hand to touch it, raised his head and said, "It's red."

Ning Yu flicked on the flashlight, and saw the blood that Zhou Rong coughed up at the end of Si Nan's finger in the light, and the blood that Zhou Rong coughed up at the end was completely black and purple, showing a complete bright red!

"...Sinan..." Zhou Rong said exhaustedly, "I..."

Si Nan supported him with one hand and observed carefully. Under the light of the flashlight, the festering wound on the back of Zhou Rong's neck was completely covered by bright red new flesh, which gradually healed into a thin layer of scab.

"I..." Zhou Rong broke away from Si Nan's supporting hand in a daze, opened his arms, and hugged him tightly: "Brother Rong won't go...don't leave me..."

He couldn't focus his eyes, and murmured: "Don't leave me, Brother Rong won't leave."
