There are not many armed forces in this car.

Liu Ruosong didn't know how the follow-up rescue and evacuation would be arranged, but based on what he saw so far, the effective force that could be freed from this car was clearly far below his expectations.

The wailing sounds scattered in the carriage became weaker and weaker. The night light was insufficient, and the rescue equipment they had was insufficient. Everything had to be dug by hand.Liu Ruosong probably suffered a slight concussion from the fall, and he would faint if he walked two more steps, so he stood a little farther away to help carry the wounded.

These people are citizens who escaped from City S. They escaped the first peak period of the infection by chance, and they were lucky not to be injured and mutated. .

I don't know if life and death are fate, whether it is the third watch or the fifth watch, Liu Ruosong thought to himself mockingly.

He helped with the work for a while, but because he was also a wounded person, he didn't do much. In the end, he could only sit on a big rock, panting and staring at the fire not far away.

In fact, Liu Ruosong vaguely knew in his heart that they had no cars and no equipment, and they were in this place with no village in front of them and no shops in the back. With so many wounded, it would be impossible for them to transport them all away without follow-up rescue. Night Tale.

Follow-up rescue... His thoughts suddenly paused on this word, and then he gave a wry smile.

I don't know what's going on outside, let alone rescue, it's good if everyone can save their lives.

Liu Ruosong's mental shock was caused by the glance through the glass window before leaving City S. It was hard for him to imagine what the city has become now. Is the so-called "evacuation" an effective means of blockade, or is it a self-deception? escape.

Liu Ruosong was thinking wildly in his mind, the surrounding voices were mixed together in a chaotic manner, and no one heard an extremely subtle sound of steel breaking hidden in the noise.

The twisted sheet metal was overwhelmed, and a gap was broken, and the huge body began to slide slowly downhill. Sparks popped out of the seams, and the friction fell into a deeper pipeline crack.

Liu Ruosong was holding his backpack and thinking about how to send this thing into Yancheng. He was dizzy, his tinnitus was strong and weak, and his reaction was several beats slower than usual.So much so that when he finally heard someone calling him next to him, he was thrown out by a strong force, and after rolling a few times, he was firmly pressed down on the soft lawn.

Almost at the same time as he was thrown, Liu Ruosong suddenly heard a loud noise, and the scorching heat wave swept over, almost licking off a layer of skin from the back of his bare hand.

For more than ten seconds, Liu Ruosong couldn't hear anything.

The beeping tinnitus seemed to come out of his brain, and a layer of barriers was blocked in his ears for no reason. He was confused, and the outside sounds were completely isolated, as if the whole world was empty. He is alone.

Liu Ruosong's eyes turned dark and blurred, and it took him a while to realize that it was the broken car that exploded a second time.

It may be that there are some contraband in the car, or it may be a problem with the car, but Liu Ruosong can't think about anything for a while.

The soft body lying on him was abnormally heavy, Liu Ruosong tentatively pushed him twice, but the other party made no sound and didn't respond at all.

Liu Ruosong forcefully turned him over from his body, gritted his teeth and shook his head, and was about to look at the other party's situation, but when he glanced at him, he found that the other party's lower body was bloody and bloody, almost a skeleton remained.

There were large areas of burns on his back, and the spine licked by the explosion broke into several pieces during the fall, and he was already out of breath.

Liu Ruosong struggled to make out the other person's face in the eyes full of gold stars, and found that this was actually an acquaintance - the young man he had picked up before.

I don't know if he has seen too many deaths in just one day, but Liu Ruosong found that he was numb, his heart was blank, there was neither regret nor emotion, only a blank like stress.

Liu Ruosong didn't know whether the other party rushed over for the blood sample or because of him whom he met once.But it doesn't matter, he didn't think about it, just sat there silently for two or three seconds, then reached out and closed the other person's eyes.

thanks.Liu Ruosong thought, although these two words sound light and insincere, they are indeed the most he can give now.

——Because he has already smelled the smell of zombies.

All he has left is his sense of smell, and one part is 100% functional, but fortunately, the smell of zombies is too typical, and he will never forget it after smelling it once.

Unlike the smell of blood, those zombies infected by the virus will decay in the shortest possible time, and they will be mothed into a hollow from the inside out. Comes out like a corpse that has been rotting for days in a dumpster in the hot sun.

Those smells drifted over with the wind, disgusting.

Liu Ruosong could smell that there were quite a few of those things—but he didn't know whether they were attracted by the smell of blood, or by the light and sound of fire.

But no matter what, there is no way to stay in this place anymore, Liu Ruosong looked up, only to find that the dirt slope he rolled down was quite high, and with his current state of swaying every step, it is absolutely impossible to climb back.

So he gritted his teeth and forced himself to forget the option of "go back and see the situation", pulled out the gun on his side and clenched it tightly, turned his head and chose a random direction, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

He doesn't have any lighting tools on his body now, the house leaks and it rains at night, and it's a cloudy day around here, the moonlight doesn't show at all, Liu Ruosong can only smear forward.

The experience of avoiding wild animals in no man's land made him walk very cautiously. He followed the moisture in the air to find a drainage channel little by little, and then found that he was lucky. There was a piece of farmland nearby, planted The early corn has grown more than one meter high, densely packed, and it has become a big forest.

This kind of terrain is a natural barrier for irrational zombies. Liu Ruosong ducked into the ditch and sat down awkwardly between two rows of corn.

He didn't dare to go too far inside, fearing that in case of special circumstances, he would not be able to run away, so he only made a shallow side, and temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way here just now, he encountered two lonely zombies.In the dark, his sight was blocked, Liu Ruosong was afraid that if he missed a shot, he would attract other large troops, so he held his breath and waited for the opponent to approach, then he gritted his teeth and fired.

Fortunately, Fu Yan's temporary training was really useful. Liu Ruosong didn't waste any bullets, but the recoil caused his entire shoulder to feel numb and painful.

Liu Ruosong wanted to smile wryly again - he didn't expect that he would become so embarrassed just one day after he separated from Fu Yan, and he didn't know how Fu Yan was doing, and whether there was any unexpected situation on the way.

Leaning on the corn stalk, he counted the number of bullets left, and went to touch the two blood collection bottles in his bag, and he was relieved to find that they were still intact.

It's quite strong, Liu Ruosong thought, fortunately it was wrapped with several layers of cloth outside.

After touching it, he started to worry again. This night, the car rolled over and exploded. He was almost pushed into the gutter by two zombies. He almost didn't rest. Now when he sat down, he remembered that he still had a "heavy responsibility" on his shoulders. .

What to do, Liu Ruosong fell into a momentary doubt for the first time: I won't die here.

But then he erased this thought himself, and thought happily: That's not okay, I can promise Brother Fu to send me and the blood collection bottle to Yancheng safely.

So he briefly reached a "three-party" agreement with himself, and he took on the roles of "Party B" and "valuable personnel" by himself, and gritted his teeth to squeeze out a little strength from his bones.

Wait a little longer, Liu Ruosong thought, after a whole night of tossing around, it might be dawn soon, so he will rest here for a while, and then try to find the main road after dawn, it would be even better if he can meet a car.

He was thinking about it in a daze, but his sanity was a little unclear. He leaned his head on the corn stalk bit by bit, and fell asleep with almost no struggle.

I don't know how long it will take before the sky will be wiped with a ray of fragile white light, and a gunshot suddenly cuts through the quiet morning light, Liu Ruosong's whole body trembles, and he sits up like a conditioned reflex.

The sky was about to dawn, his eyes were full of gray, Liu Ruosong was startled and suspicious, he couldn't tell whether the gunshot was a dream or not.

But soon there was another gunshot nearby, this time the sound was tight and dense, Liu Ruosong knew it was a numbered weapon.

He hesitated for a moment, crossed out the word "cautious" in his mind almost roughly, and chose a risky way.

Liu Ruosong gritted his teeth and loaded the gun, Chaotian fired a shot on the spot, firing a warning shot.

The nearby gunshots stopped for a moment, but the zombies wandering nearby obviously heard the movement, turned around slowly, and walked over step by step.

After Liu Ruosong released his gun, he quickly retreated, walked around the ditch twice, walked to the other side of the forest, and then fired again.

The direction of his action was the same as the direction where he heard the gunshots before—it turned out that his prediction was correct. Two minutes later, a powerful search beam came from that direction, sweeping around the cornfield almost forcefully. .

Liu Ruosong got out from the farmland, and was exposed to the light openly.

Ashamed to say, after a thrilling night, he felt very cordial when he saw the bright flashlight.

The searchlight moved away quickly, and there was the sound of extremely fast footsteps. In a few minutes, a few strange young men and women rushed out from the corner of the path in the direction of the slope. They were wearing uniforms and well-equipped. , move neatly.

Liu Ruomatsu subconsciously wanted to touch Fu Yan's ID to prove his identity. Who knew that before the group of people approached him, he suddenly stopped and looked at each other with weird expressions, as if they had exchanged a certain name in a very short time. default information.

One of the very young-looking boys in the line didn't stop the car, slid up in front of Liu Ruosong, stared at him for two seconds, and called him hesitantly as if his mind was stuck: "...Sister-in-law? "

Liu Ruosong: "...?"
