sunset escape

Chapter 51 Vitality and Death

The ancient town is not an empty city. Except for a part that left at the beginning of the zombie outbreak, everyone else has moved to the depths of the forest.

This is the fact that the three of He and Chen didn't realize until after they were kidnapped.

From the moment their five cars stepped into the scenic spot, they stepped into the trap set by these people at the same time.The battle for supplies is the main theme of the doomsday, and the three of them are about to be used by these people in exchange for more supplies.

They were locked up overnight in a simple wooden house deep in the mountains.

Everything they had with them was taken away, including their weapons, and even the folding knife that Xiang Jiajun gave He Chen was not spared.

They were tied hand and foot and scattered in different corners of the room.Both He Chen and Zhuang Fan were firmly tied to the pillars, and those people seemed to have underestimated the strength of the little girl Xia Shuya, they only tied her hands behind her back and threw her in a corner.

It was a middle-aged man who was in charge of guarding them, and a tall and strong young man joined them at midnight.Candles were lit inside the house, the middle-aged man sat in a corner doing nothing, while the other did nothing but wipe his long watermelon knife from midnight to the west of the moon.The two raised their eyelids to look at them from time to time, and after finding that everything was normal, they went their separate ways.

He Chen leaned against the corner, exchanging glances with Zhuang Fan and Xia Shuya.

The people in the hostel should not suspect that something happened to them, they would only think that the three of them searched for supplies and stayed outside.So they had to escape from here during the night. If these people rushed into the ancient town directly by dawn, it would be difficult to restore the situation.

But only Xia Shuya was barely able to move, her hands were still tied, and her chances of winning against the two armed men were slim.To be on the safe side, they can only wait for a suitable time.

The night before dawn is the thickest, and people will inevitably relax.

The opportunity the three had been waiting for had arrived.

The middle-aged man kept yawning, and seeing that it was not far from dawn, he got up eagerly.The young man saw that he wanted to leave, so he only waved him away, "Go to sleep, you have to go down the mountain at dawn."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The middle-aged man walked out of the hut with tired steps.

When only tall and strong men were left as guards, the atmosphere in the room suddenly seemed a little weird.The dark tide is raging, and the conflict is clearly revealed.

But the man shook his long knife, and the cold light gleamed from the candlelight. He scanned the faces of the three of them one by one, "Don't think about it, there are people outside the door, you can't escape."

Xia Shuya spoke suddenly, and sat on the cold and hard ground all night, with a pitiful tone: "Brother, can I go to the toilet?"

"Yes," the man squinted at her, "but it can only be solved here."

Xia Shuya couldn't answer the conversation for a while, but she didn't keep silent. After a long while, she seemed to endure the humiliation and said, "I can't take off my pants with my hands tied, can you help me loosen them?"

The man seemed to have seen something novel, and when he let go of his hand, the long knife slid to the ground.He walked towards Xia Shuya, and he could see the malicious expression on his face in the dim light, "How do you want me to help you, little girl? Help you take off your pants?"

He Chen and Zhuang Fan looked at each other.This person is uneasy and kind, if Xia Shuya can't deal with it, he will suffer.Are they going to divert the flames of war?

"If you don't bend over, how can you help me?" Xia Shuya unexpectedly didn't get angry, her tone sounded like a different person, purely innocent and weak.

The man didn't hesitate for a long time. In front of a little girl who seemed to be underage, his guard was reduced to the lowest level. Instead, he thought that he was strong enough to dominate her.

The moment he bent down and lowered his head, Xia Shuya suddenly jumped up, a scissors leg wrapped around the man's head, and swung him to the ground.Then he ran to the other side, picked up the long knife, and cut the hemp rope in his hand.

The man was thrown badly, and he was on the ground for a long time without recovering.Seeing that he was still able to move, Xia Shuya stepped forward and touched his chest three or four more times, kicking him firmly to the ground, and temporarily lost the strength to get up.

She looked down in disgust, and her tone became cold again, completely ignoring the humiliation and tenderness just now: "If you still want to take off your pants, you can find a tree and hang yourself with your belt."

"Girl, save us by the way." Zhuang Fan who was in the other corner suddenly spoke up, and struggled twice.

Xia Shuya reluctantly let this man go, and untied Zhuang Fan and He Chen first.

She leaned over to the window and peeked out.There were indeed people outside, but it was at the edge of the small village, some distance away from them.

"We can leave quietly in the other direction," she said softly.

Zhuang Fan moved his stiff body, "Let's go, it's not too late."

They were about to leave through another window when He Chen suddenly asked them to wait.

"What are you doing?" Zhuang Fan put his hands on the window frame, so he had to stop and look back.

He Shen replied, picked up a candle and lit a pile of dry wood in the corner, and took two steps back when the fire gradually grew larger and stabilized.The houses here are all wooden structures and burn quickly.

"The things that were robbed have not been brought back, so they left like this?" He Chen said casually, "We must let them suffer some losses, and teach them to stay in the mountains obediently."

The fire spread quickly, climbed to the roof, and crackled the wood.They first climbed out through the rear window and retrieved their backpacks and supplies from an empty room on the side.Then set fire to most of the houses, and went down the hill in confusion while people were awakened by the fire and rushed around to fight the fire.

Instead of the mountain road they came on, they walked through the dense forest in the dark.The sky gradually turned white, the stars dimmed, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, the sun was just rising over the horizon.

He Chen subconsciously glanced at today's Chaoyang.The sun was still bright red, and the light was so strong that he squinted his eyes involuntarily.

I don't know if Xiang Jiajun drew the curtains tightly before going to bed.

He inexplicably felt a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, he had no idea.Probably because he left Xiang Jiayun for a whole night, he couldn't help worrying.

The car stopped at the edge of the ancient town before going up the mountain, they retrieved the car, He Chen got into the main driver first, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the hotel.

Zhuang Fan held on to the handrail, staggered back and forth with the dense turns, and protested: "This is my car! You are rushing to reincarnate!"

Even Xia Shuya was a little terrified, "Brother He, take it easy..."

He Chen didn't answer, only frowning and looking ahead.He took a shortcut, so fast that the scenery on both sides turned into phantoms, but suddenly slowed down when he approached the hostel.

"Xia Shuya," he asked seriously, "did you hear anything?"

He felt that he had reached the point of panic, and couldn't help but ask Xia Shuya who had better eyes and ears.

The little girl was called out suddenly, she was caught off guard, but she still lowered the window and listened.

She faintly heard some human voices, and replied uncertainly: "It seems...someone is shouting."

Zhuang Fan also suddenly became alert, "Can you tell who it is?"

Xia Shuya shook her head.

He Chen confirmed that there was a sound, so he turned the steering wheel and drove towards the source of the sound.

"Who could it be, howling here early in the morning, don't have an accident." Zhuang Fan mused in the back seat, "I just escaped from the kidnappers, one thing after another."

Going around three or four alleys, He Chen suddenly saw a lonely figure in the middle of the long street.

He stepped on the emergency brake in a daze.

"Is it Brother Xiang?" Xia Shuya called out in surprise from the back seat.

He woke up with a start, pushed the car door violently, and didn't notice when he got out of the car.

Xiang Jiayun's body was covered in blood, and even his face was covered with blood, making it impossible to see whether there was a wound.With empty hands, as if he had lost his soul, he faltered step by step.The sun was shining on half of his body, but he didn't notice it, and walked very slowly.

He Chen rushed over and hugged him into the shadows. When he touched it, he felt his skin was hot, as if it was about to burn.As they got closer, the knife wound on the young man's shoulder was clearly visible, and blood was still bubbling at this moment.

The sound stuck in Xiang Jiayun's throat, he was unable to speak for a long time, he only dared to hold the young man and retreated into the depths of the shadows.

"He Chen?" Xiang Jiajun spoke first, his voice extremely hoarse, like a broken machine.

The moment he heard the young man speak, the tense strings in He Chen's mind finally loosened a bit, and he finally found his own voice: "Where have you been? How did you become like this?"

Xiang Jiayun's eyes were still out of focus, he just squeezed into his arms, relaxed, and called out again in a low voice: "Teacher He."

He Chen subconsciously held him steady, and everything he said was stuffed back by these two dependent calls. He hugged the young man in his arms and walked into the car.

He came too late.If he hadn't gone out to search for supplies yesterday, if he hadn't gone into the mountains, if he had escaped early when he was tied up, Xiang Jiayun wouldn't have become like this.

But he couldn't say anything like "I'm late", the words were too pale.And the young man in his arms was really weak, even more frightening than the night of the infection.

Before reaching the side of the car, Zhuang Fan got out of the car and grabbed his arm as he passed by.

"Get out of the way." He Chen bumped away directly.

"He Chen! Look back and see what that is!" Zhuang Fan roared without warning, "You only have Xiang Jiajun in your fucking eyes, look what that thing on the ground is!"

The young man was originally lying quietly in his arms, but now he suddenly raised his head with difficulty, and there was a trace of clarity in his eyes.

He Chen noticed this subtle movement, as if possessed, he quickly lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiang Jiayun's fingers tightly grabbed the fabric of his chest, until his knuckles turned white, his lips trembling slightly: "...you look back."

He has regained a small part of his sanity right now, and he can't remember what he just did, but he has a general impression - bloody.

First, he kicked the person who rushed over to the ground.

These two people were already phantoms in his eyes, and the whole world was trembling, preventing him from seeing the slightest bit clearly.

The figure on the ground got up again, waving something and rushing towards him.Panting for breath, he resisted the scorching pain in his lungs when he breathed, and let the other person come forward without hesitation.

There was pain in his right shoulder, but he fixed his eyes on the shaking phantom, aimed at the phantom's neck like beheading a zombie, and slashed it down with an axe.

Another person's screams came from next to his ears, making his headache even worse.He angrily kicked something off the ground, then stumbled towards the man.

He was unable to lift the ax aloft this time because of pain in his right shoulder.

He still remembered Xu Ying howling in pain: "You killed...you killed..."

After hearing what he said, He Chen hugged him and turned around.

There was still a phantom in Xiang Jiayun's vision, but it didn't affect him seeing two incomplete people in the pool of blood at the end of the long street.

One living, one dead.

The living person lost an arm, and the dead person's head and body were separated, and was accidentally kicked by the living person, rolling on the ground.
