Undead

grunt-

The turquoise river water was so muddy that he couldn't see clearly in a hurry, but Sinan didn't panic, he quickly held his breath within three seconds after falling into the water, and kicked back violently with his long legs.The ambusher was kicked hard in the lower abdomen, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood foam, filling the river with scarlet, and involuntarily let go of his hands and sank.

Sinan twisted his body and dived in the water in an uproar. The heavy equipment gave him a great sinking speed, and he caught up with the ambusher almost instantly, and grabbed the opponent's wrist and neck!

"...!" The ambushers didn't even have the slightest power to fight back, they could only kick their legs and struggle in vain, constantly spraying out water bubbles.

At this time, Sinan's oxygen was almost at the end - the violent movements in the water were particularly depleting of oxygen, and when he fell into the water, he was caught off guard and let out a half-breath.He was just about to wring the opponent's throat with a ruthless hand, and then quickly float up to inhale oxygen, but his strong fingers suddenly stopped.

The opponent's throat and wrists were unexpectedly thin.

—is a woman.

A ridiculous guess suddenly flashed across Sinan's mind. After half a second of weighing, he decisively let go of the other party's throat, grabbed her hand and twisted it back, and strangled the other party's waist from the back. Rush away.

"call!"

Si Nan jumped out of the water, panting heavily, and lifted up the ambusher who was about to be strangled to death by him—as expected, it was Chuncao.

"Huh, huh, huh, cough, cough..." Chuncao was out of breath, and was dragged by Sinan to the shore.

They were already hundreds of meters away from the cave besieged by zombies. The river bed was flattened, and the rocky beach was connected with dense bushes and woods.As soon as Chuncao came ashore, she began to cough crazily, almost spitting out her lungs from her throat. Probably startled by the sound, six or seven zombies staggered out of the dense forest one after another.

"Woo-woo-"

"Roar!"

Sinan's submachine gun had already been thrown into the river, and he quickly stepped forward and pulled out the military triangular thorn, and killed all the zombies one by one with his bare hands.The undead wandering in the canyon were basically gone, and cold weapons were enough to cope with the small number. After confirming that there were no more undead around, Sinan finally had a chance to turn around and asked, "What's going on?"

"Cough cough cough——!!!" Chuncao barely stopped coughing, her little face was pale and blue, and she sat down on the ground.

"You, your hands are too dark, you have such—— such a heavy hand on an underage girl, cough cough! I, I, I'm full...cough!!!"

"Are you underage?" Sinan doubted, "I heard from Zhou Rong that you are already eighteen, and you want to cheat me with an extra birthday present?"

Chuncao waved her hand weakly: "A woman's age is a secret, so don't pursue it at a time like this... How come you are with Tang Hao? Have you seen Xiangzi? Is Xiangzi still alive? Where is Rong?"

"Seriously injured and alive. Where's Ding Shi?"

"It's alright, Da Ding, you go first... No, this is not the place to talk, come with me."

Chuncao supported the stone and stood up, signaling Sinan to follow her to the lower reaches of the river bank, avoiding the woods where zombies haunted.Sinan briefly told her how he hijacked a plane from the base and ran out, found the camp, was deliberately lured to meet Tang Hao, and how he came to the cave; Chuncao listened while walking, and finally admitted: "Yes, the people who surrounded you I led the zombies, and I followed you from the waterfall."

Si Nan asked, "Are you suspicious of Tang Hao?"

Chuncao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I was sure that he had ghosts, but you just said that Xiangzi was still alive, so I was a little unsure... It's a long story, and it starts with the zombie swarm attacking the camp at night." Let's start."

Chuncao's coat had been lost, and he was only wearing a tattered vest, with purple-black ferocious scratches and tooth marks all over his arms and back.Her fine short ear-length hair dripped into the water, and she couldn't help shivering when the wind blew, so Sinan took off his coat and handed it to her.

"Thank you," Chuncao wrapped the camouflage uniform that was too big for her tightly, and sighed, "I really thought I was going to die that night. I couldn't see my fingers in the camp, and there were zombies everywhere, screaming, tearing Biting, mixed with gunshots, you can't rush out no matter what, you don't even know if you are shooting a living person or a dead person... I just remember that I have been shooting like crazy, and I was bitten a lot during the process, Almost tore the flesh off my thigh."

She pointed to her neck, the indentation left after the secondary antibody injection was very clear.

"I'll talk about the details later. In short, we tried our best to get out of the corpses, but we couldn't find Xiangzi anyway. We shouted at him while being chased by the zombies and rescued a seriously injured teammate in the chaos. He told us He seems to have seen an off-road vehicle driving out of the forest, pulling Tang Hao and a man who looks a bit like Xiangzi onto it."

Si Nan interrupted her: "Is there a person from country A in the car?"

"I don't know, even though I doubt it." Chuncao said hoarsely, "I gave that person a secondary antibody, but...he couldn't survive it."

The two fell silent at the same time.

"We trekked all night, lost all supplies, and ran out of bullets. After dawn, we were completely lost. It took a long time to find the camp, and we couldn't find any clues about Xiangzi."

Chuncao sighed and said: "We set up a temporary base, and Dading and I took turns to explore the road and look for food. It was not until this morning that I finally found the vicinity of the waterfall, but before I found the camp, I saw you and Tang Hao walked all the way down the river bank. Since I had doubts about Tang Hao, I didn't want to startle the snake easily. I followed you for a long time and found that he deliberately led you to a remote place..."

"So I cut my palms to attract zombies, then dived closer, and took advantage of the chaos to drag you into the water so that the two of you could be separated." Chuncao paused, and her tone turned into confusion: "—I originally thought that Tang Hao was an insider." Ghost, colluding with the people on the off-road vehicle; but if he is, why didn't he kill Xiangzi, who was seriously injured and dying, but tried his best to take care of him until he was rescued? This is unreasonable."

It's really unreasonable, unless Guo Weixiang is collaborating with the enemy like Chief Tang.But this possibility is the same as Zhou Rong suddenly falling in love with Yan Hao, or Yan Hao suddenly falling in love with Zheng Zhongjiang; the probability is so small that there is really no discussion.

As the river twisted and turned, Chuncao waved to Sinan and took the lead into the bushes.

"Tang Hao may have his own plans. No matter what, it's better to avoid him before reuniting with Brother Rong." Chuncao drew out a machete and cut off the dense vines half a person's height. The words are all false, and the so-called cloth strips and road signs are also forged..."

"I know."

"?" Chuncao turned around: "How do you know?"

Sinan trudged through the knee-deep grass, with a sad smile flashing across his eyes: "He said he got separated because life and death were at stake, and no one cared about the other. But I know that unless you confirm that someone is dead, you won't Leaving anyone behind. It has nothing to do with life or death, and it has nothing to do with your abilities, it's just because... because it's you."

Chuncao's movements were slightly stagnant, and her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had some feelings:

"Si Xiaonan..."

Si Nan took off the blood-stained steel plate from his chest and spread it out in his palm: "I found this."

Chuncao was stunned: "Ah? Why do you—"

She wanted to ask how you hung it around your neck, how dirty it was and you didn't wipe it clean, but Sinan interrupted her abruptly, as if trying to avoid any questions from the outside world: "I still need a while."

Chuncao: "?"

"It may take a long time for me to accept the fact that Yan Hao has left. Before that, can I keep it?"

Chuncao: "Ah?!"

Chuncao was dumbfounded.

Simon: "...what?"

The two looked at each other, and after a thousandth of a second, Chuncao reacted extremely quickly, immediately raised her hand to cover her face, and forced out a painful voice from her throat: "Okay...okay, keep it if you want... But where did you find this dog...steel plate?"

"Camp. Lots of dead bodies. I brought everyone's nameplates."

Chuncao: "Ah, okay, so it's the camp... You... No wonder I said you were not happy at all just now... Are you sad for Yan Hao?"

Sinan hung the steel plate back around his neck, and said hoarsely, "I just want to know how he died."

Chuncao: "Do you have to know this? It's not good to know such a tragic thing too clearly... But I thought you didn't like Yan Hao, didn't you tell him to die? Why now... Hey ! Si Xiaonan! Don't cry!"

Simon didn't cry.But he stood there motionless, without blinking his eyes, as if his whole body was frozen, and it took a long time for his eyes to turn slightly red.

"No," he forced a laugh, "I just regret it."

"..." Chuncao struggled in her heart for a while, before carefully asking: "Do you regret yelling at him last time?"

Sinan pressed his nose with both hands and wiped it vigorously, as if he suppressed some indescribable sadness and sourness with this action.Immediately, he walked around the eye-catching spring grass, stepping on the grass without looking back.

"I regret not apologizing to him earlier. He was right that time, and I was wrong. Actually... I don't want him to die at all."

Chuncao swallowed hard, and finally decided to tell the truth:

"That...Si Xiaonan, actually..."

With a crash, half of his body was hanged upside down from the tree, Yan Hao's head was upside down, and his feet were upside down, and in an instant he had a cheek-to-cheek relationship with Sinan, and said softly: "It's okay, I understand, I really don't need to apologize, I'll give you the dog tag. "

Simon: "..."

Si Nan remained motionless as if he had been electrocuted, and fell backwards for a while.

"Si Xiaonan!!!"

Ten minutes later, Sinan sat under a tree with a blank expression, and Yan Hao hurriedly took his clothes to help him fan the wind.

"I was wrong, I really didn't mean it. After 118 was withdrawn, it issued us a new dog tag. I used the old one as a talisman and kept it around my hands. I lost it in the chaos that night... Hey Si Xiaonan, listen I said, do you want to drink water, or do you want to eat fruit? Let me tell you a joke. Once upon a time there was a dumb man, he..."

Sinan's sanity snapped.

Yan Hao screamed and was knocked down to the ground. Sinan grabbed his neck and said sadly, "You're going to become dumb soon."

Chuncao and Ding Shi hugged each other, and it took a lot of effort to rescue Yan Hao from the destructive hands.Si Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he held the dog tag and said angrily: "If you were in Baiying! I would have already broken your leg! And you!"

Chuncao hurriedly shrank behind Yan Hao, and Sinan asked: "Who said Yan Hao is dead? Your gift is gone!"

Chuncao immediately yelled at Qu: "You only asked if Da Ding was still alive, how would I know why you didn't ask Yan Xiaohao! And you didn't intend to give me a birthday present at all!"

Si Nan knew he was wrong, so he sat back in his original place resentfully, with one hand supporting the bruised veins on his forehead.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry," Yan Hao suppressed a smile and smoothed things over: "The nameplate is required to be worn on the chest, and it is normal for you to think that I was eaten by zombies so it fell to the ground... Speaking of Si Xiaonan, I don't even know that you don't want me to die so much, I was really touched when I heard you talking in the tree just now..."

"It's late." Sinan said coldly, "I held your dog tag and cried bitterly in the camp for half an hour, but unfortunately you couldn't hear me."

Yan Hao was stunned for a moment, his face full of "what did I miss?!" expression.

Si Nan didn't pay any attention to him, and took out the waterproof layer from his drenched backpack, and fired a signal flare into the sky: "Let's go. Find a place nearby to hide for a while, and we'll talk about it when the big troops come."

Chuncao told the story of meeting Tang Hao and absconding by falling into the river, and several people got up to tidy up their poor temporary residence.Pillows made of leaves and clothes, a few sabers, and slingshots cut from branches are all their property. Sinan's submachine gun also fell into the river. The former 118 team has never been so poor, as if they were taken by a landlord and rich man. Yang Bailao, who was collecting debts, was in a very miserable situation for a while.

Fortunately, there were still some water-soaked dry food, grenades, ropes, and first-aid kits in Sinan's backpack. He divided up the rest of the supplies, and several people used machetes to split through the waist-deep bushes and headed for a deeper hiding place in the woods. .

"We'll meet up with Brother Rong later and then go find Tang Hao." Yan Hao gnawed a compressed biscuit with a knife in one hand and said vaguely: "He deliberately wanted to lure Si Nan to that cave, there might be some problems in it, he should search it. "

"Do you think he has something to do with the zombie night attack that day?" Chuncao asked.

Several people looked at each other, and Yan Hao said after a long while: "No, I don't think so. If he really wanted to kill everyone, he should run first by himself, but Tang Hao did fight to the last moment, and at that time his shocked and angry expression It doesn't look like a fake."

"However," Yan Hao changed the subject again: "If we find any evidence that the annihilation of the entire army is related to him, we must tear him alive and avenge everyone."

The sun has completely reached the mid-heaven, and the surrounding area is quiet and silent.The tireless roar of the zombies one after another is far away, mixed with the whimpering wind, echoing across the valley.

They stopped under the shade of a towering ancient tree, ate and chatted head to head, analyzed the terrain of the canyon, and guessed where the antibody would fall.Ding Shi anxiously asked Sinan about his little Jinhua, and Sinan cleverly skipped the part where the gun was held against Jinhua's head, only saying that in order to contribute a little, she specially applied to assist in the flight of the search and rescue plane, and also personally said that she hoped that Ding Shi I can go back alive.

Ding Shi was immediately overwhelmed with emotion: "I knew that little Jin Hua'er could do anything, even fly an airplane. She has been the prettiest and smartest girl in our village since she was a child..."

Chuncao looked at him with a toothache expression on his face.

Si Nan sat cross-legged in the grass, resting his chin on his hands and not speaking.He seemed to have suddenly removed some invisible and heavy shackles, calmed down from the inside, and even felt a little bit like relaxation and comfort.

Although he was a bit hungry and lacked sugar, his muscles were very sore from the high-intensity trek that lasted twelve hours without sleep, and he felt uncontrollable exhaustion immediately after he calmed down; although the antibody did not know where it fell in the vast canyon, Romuel's group is likely to be lurking not far away, and the situation in front of them is still full of dangers.

But at least for the moment he was sitting with his companions.

Zhou Rong is also coming here.

Si Nan closed his eyes, feeling overwhelmed by drowsiness. Suddenly there was a rustling sound not far away, and a large number of people's voices approached from far away.

Chuncao listened carefully for a moment, then suddenly got up: "It's the search and rescue team! Brother Rong and the others are here!"

It would be a lie to say that they were not excited, everyone immediately got up, shouted loudly and walked back, and soon heard the loud echoes of the search and rescue team from the place where the signal flare was placed in the distance.

"Where's Si Xiaonan?" Zhou Rong roared from the jungle vines: "Don't tell me he ran away again! This time I can't fucking stand it! Pity the fragile heart of a married man!"

Sinan laughed. He had just taken two steps with his teammates when he stopped suddenly. He carefully smoothed his short messy hair with his hands, lifted the corner of his clothes to wipe the sweat and dust off his face, and bent over to stuff the hems of his camouflage trousers into his military boots.

He had never deliberately stopped to straighten his image before meeting someone in his life, but just as he was about to straighten up, the shade of the trees above his head clattered, and heavy objects whizzed down.

Bang!

- that's a person!

Sinan was kneeling on one knee. Before he could react, he was pressed and rolled over. The next second, the muzzle of the gun was on his temple, and a rough, scarred elbow strangled his throat from behind, forcing him off the ground. picked up.

More than ten meters ahead, Yan Hao suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Put him down!"

Si Nan's complexion changed slightly, only to hear Tang Hao's tired and determined voice behind him:

"You can't go there, come with me."
