poor road [end times]

When Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin acted, Zhang Bo never intervened.

It wasn't until the two of them tied Liu Wen up that Uncle Zhang stepped forward and said to the two of them, "It's too cold outside, let's go inside first, so that he won't lose consciousness."

"it is good."

They helped Liu Wen into the main house.

Grandma Lin's house also burned a stove, and the sound of burning coals crackled, and the room was still warm.Only his arms were bound with ropes, Liu Wen could not move freely. Enduring the severe pain in his ankle, he slowly sat down on the old sofa.

The other three people present were always paying attention to his situation.

Liu Wen took a few rough kicks before calming down, but his face still looked slightly pale.

Zhang Bo looked worried: "This...serum, what are the chances of it curing people?"

Yang Yiqin shook his head: "Not sure."

Uncle Zhang was surprised: "Why?"

"Although in the laboratory, the serum has a cure rate of more than 90.00% for zombie animals. But if it is used on humans..." Yang Yiqin paused, and continued, "Before Feng Lin and I leave the base, only An experiment proved that the serum is indeed effective for humans.”

Feng Lin continued: "If the predictions of Academician Chen and others are correct, even if the effect of the serum on humans is reduced by a few points, there is at least an 80.00% chance of preventing the spread of the zombie virus."

That is, there is still a 20.00% chance of not being able to.

Although Zhang Bo was a little anxious, it was not impossible to understand the situation. After all, the zombie virus was not an ordinary thing.To be able to develop a usable zombie virus serum in just a few months, those researchers must have made many attempts, and I am afraid that they have no time to rest.

The only thing they can do now is to wait.

The only person with a good attitude is Liu Wen himself.

Since Liu Wen saw Zhang Weihua came to Houcun and knew that the villagers in the village could be saved, he had already relieved most of his heart.After telling the other party that there are zombies in the air-raid shelter and that Grandma Lin is elsewhere, there will be no worries.

At this time, if he could survive by luck, he would continue to guard the village; if he couldn't survive, he could only resign himself to fate.

Uncle Zhang took out the first aid kit he carried with him, knelt down and wiped Liu Wen's wound with iodophor.After the disinfection, he wanted to wrap the wound with gauze, but was stopped by Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin in time.

Zhang Bo asked, "Can't bandage the wound?"

"Blood should still ooze out afterward. Wait until the color of the blood turns red." Yang Yiqin turned to look at Liu Wen, "Uncle Liu, do you remember how long ago you were bitten?"

Liu Wen glanced at the time and calculated, "About 10 minutes."

"After more than ten minutes, if you have not mutated, it means that the serum has worked." Yang Yiqin said, "After observing for a period of time, after the symptoms of zombification disappear, you can conclude that you are all right."

Liu Wen chuckled: "Thank you for leaving such a precious thing to me. If I'm not wrong, you should only have two or three, right? If I survive by chance, if you need any help in the future You can come to me anywhere."

Uncle Zhang also echoed, "Your Uncle Liu will definitely keep his word."

"Then I'll take a notebook and write it down first." Yang Yiqin bent his eyes, "I'll kill Uncle Liu anyway."

Liu Wen waved his hand: "At least one hundred meals! Cough cough...cough cough!"

Uncle Zhang advised him: "Take it easy first."

The effect of the serum has not yet taken effect, but Liu Wen couldn't wait with peace of mind. He hurriedly said while his mind was still clear: "I don't think we can wait, in case I don't get through... Anyway, a few minutes is a few minutes. , I will tell you the situation first.”

Uncle Zhang nodded: "You say."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin listened quietly.

"Hey..." Liu Wen sighed first, and then continued, "The little grandson of the Lin family is not a man, he thinks that the end of the world is boring and wants to find excitement, so he raises zombies for 'play' in the old house, and usually locks them up in their house. in the underground air-raid shelter.”

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of the three people present were different.

If it is said that the man Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin met in Qing City before raised zombies because they couldn't let go of their family ties, their psychology had already been gradually distorted.Then this little grandson of the Lin family is simply looking for a fight, and his mind is all muddled.

Liu Wen understood their shock, because when Grandma Lin told him the truth in despair, she was also shocked.

Uncle Zhang had a lot of questions in his mind: "The village has long been made as watertight as an iron bucket. Where did he get the zombies he raised? And you need to climb a ladder to enter and exit the air-raid shelter. The zombies can't climb, right?"

"Those zombies turned out to be villagers in the village."

"The villagers in the village?!"

"Yes, although I only returned to my hometown this year for retirement, I can tell that several of the people there are familiar faces."

"what is the problem?"

"The truth is that Grandma Lin told me that she only found out today that her grandson is raising zombies right under her nose." Having said this, Liu Wen's eyes turned red with anger, "Where the zombies broke out, the little grandson of the Lin family was fighting with the zombies." During the confrontation between the zombies, he pushed the zombies into the air-raid shelter with a shovel, and found that the zombies could not climb up. Later, as if he had found fun, when the villagers concentrated on killing the zombies, he led the zombies in the village to the In front of the air-raid shelter, push down one by one..."

Zhang Bo couldn't help but comment: "This crazy person!"

Even when everyone was working hard to restore the safety of the countryside, they played the trick of fishing in troubled waters.

You must know that in the early days of the end of the world, the intersections of the villages have not had time to be blocked, and zombies often come in and out. Even if there are fewer zombie villagers after the suppression, everyone will just think that they have wandered to other places.

"It's really crazy, and you don't care about the consequences!" Liu Wen was furious, "Grandma Lin is old and her ears are not very good. When talking to her, she often has to get close to her and shout, so she never heard the zombies under the manhole cover at all." roar."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqin was a little puzzled: "In this case, how did those zombies escape?"

Could it be that the little grandson of the Lin family is so bold that he scooped up zombies on the ground?

Liu Wen explained: "In the air-raid shelter, it is cool in summer and hot in winter. Even in winter, the limbs and joints of those zombies are not frozen. Today, he opened the manhole cover again to tease the zombies with the chickens at home, but someone found something wrong. When he left, he forgot Close the manhole cover of the bomb shelter."

A bad guess flashed in Yang Yiqin's mind: "The zombies climbed up?"

"That's right." Liu Wen's eyes hurt, "Their joints are not stiff. First, they were stacked on top of each other, and then they even learned to climb a ladder. It's also because the ladder is not too steep, and the area of ​​each wooden step is quite large. Enough zombies groping and slowly crawling out."

Uncle Zhang suddenly turned pale with fright: "Zombies have wisdom?"

Feng Lin on the side asked: "Did they often climb ladders when they were alive?"

"Of course." Uncle Zhang helped to answer, "Villagers in the village often climb ladders to the roof of their bungalows in order to dry their food and enjoy the shade, and children often climb on the roof mischievously."

Yang Yiqin understood: "I probably have a little muscle memory. After being locked up for a few months, I became familiar with the ladder, so I climbed out by chance."

"Like the bus driver before." Feng Lin said, "This kind of situation should be rare."

Uncle Zhang and Liu Wen asked in unison, "What's going on?"

Yang Yiqin told them in detail about the in-depth research on zombies by Academician Chen, Dr. Liang and others.

A series of experiments have proved that when a zombie touches a person, it will scratch and bite subconsciously; when a zombie touches a door, it will push and knock; when a zombie encounters a step, it will also subconsciously climb...

All kinds of behaviors are the muscle memory in the zombie's brain, and occasionally there will be some special situations-for example, if the bus driver has a steering wheel in his hand, it may keep turning the steering wheel; if the farmer has a hoe in his hand, it may not stop Wield a hoe.

But none of these behaviors have any practical significance. They are not subjective actions. They just follow the trend like cannibalism, and the ultimate goal is to attack humans faster and better.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang showed a sad face: "Although it has been proved that zombies are not wise, how can ordinary people bear this once in a while?"

"At least their behavior will never exceed the scope of human beings." Yang Yiqin comforted him, "Although it is indeed difficult to deal with the fact that zombies are tireless, only under extreme coincidences will they make other unexpected behaviors , and absolutely can’t remember these actions, as long as you accidentally throw away the steering wheel, hoe, etc., you will never remember to pick them up again.”

Over the past few months, he and Feng Lin had seen and killed countless zombies, and occasionally encountered zombies like this.They have also done various experiments with the zombies they encountered, verified their ideas through experiments, and provided the conclusions to the researchers in the laboratory.

In fact, as long as zombies have no intelligence and do not carry out these behaviors subjectively, then the threat of zombies to human beings is within the controllable range.

Feng Lin also said: "I think that if the ladders in the air-raid shelter were straight and steep, instead of being shaped like stairs, these zombies would not be able to climb up at all."

"The ladder is a bit flat, more like a slightly steeper hollow staircase than a ladder." Liu Wen recalled, and said, "It was done on purpose to facilitate the entry and exit of the elderly."

Yang Yiqin: "That's right."

At this moment, Uncle Zhang suddenly pointed to Liu Wen's ankle, and said excitedly, "Look, has the color of the blood changed?"

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin looked down.

Mao Xiaoliu, who had been very quiet when everyone was talking, also meowed at his wound a few times, his voice clearly rising in joy.

On Liu Wen's ankle, the wound bitten by the zombie was bleeding out turbulently, and the blood gradually turned fresh red.Looking up and carefully observing Liu Wen's face, you will find that his lips have regained their blood color, and his cheeks are not as pale as before.

Zhang Bo was overjoyed: "It's useful! It's really useful!" Then, he first held Yang Yiqin's hand tightly, and then shook Feng Lin's hand, "Thank you, thank you very much!"

They are willing to take out such a precious thing as serum to "detoxify" Liu Wen who has never met before, which is really admirable.

Liu Wen glanced at the time, and said gratefully, "It's been almost 10 minutes since I was bitten...Thank you."

This kind of kindness cannot be offset by a few thanks. In the future, he will treat these two young people as his own children and do his best to help them.It's a pity that at his age, there are too few things he can do. After a while, let's see how much food is left at home, and let them take it away.

Yang Yiqin also breathed a sigh of relief.

He shook his head: "You're welcome, Uncle Liu is a good man, and we can't bear to have accidents happen to good people."

"No, I have to give you some food first, so I can feel at ease." Liu Wen stood up and said sharply in the tone of an elder, "Come to my house before you leave. If you refuse to take the food, then I will drive by myself tomorrow." Send it to your village."

In fact, he wanted to say this sentence when he felt blurred before he "died".Even if the others are gone, food must be given to these two juniors, and a serum should not be wasted.

Faced with such last words, even if the other party wants to refuse, they will not use too much force.

Now that I am safe and sound, I can only be tougher.

Yang Yiqin: "..."

Uncle Zhang was in a relaxed mood, and persuaded with a smile: "You guys accept it, your Uncle Liu won't starve himself to death."

Yang Yiqin was a little helpless: "Didn't you just say that you can have a meal? If that's the case, let's try to have as little as possible, otherwise we won't be able to take it away."

Liu Wen let out a hearty laugh.

"Did you just say a hundred meals?"

Feng Lin said, "There is one thing that needs the cooperation of Uncle Liu and Uncle Zhang."

The two elders said in unison: "What's the matter?"

Feng Lin's gaze was burning like a torch, and he said slowly: "I have something about the serum with Qinqin, I hope you will keep it secret."

Liu Wen and Zhang Bo immediately understood his concerns.

Zombie virus serum... This is something that everyone wants and is more precious than food.

The two young men didn't have many serums. Once the news spread, someone might try to snatch the serum from them with bad intentions.Even if they can defeat the thieves who are looking for faults, the appearance of this kind of news is likely to reduce the vigilance of the villagers.

If other people are accidentally infected, will they also have to rescue them?

The first and second ones can be saved, but the fifth and sixth ones can't be saved. When the time comes and they say that they don't have that much serum, those people may not believe it.

What's more, not all infected people are worth saving.

Liu Wen nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as I live, I won't pass on this news."

Uncle Zhang also solemnly promised: "Even if it's your Aunt Zhang, I won't say anything."

"The Beishi Survivor Base has built a laboratory and rescued many scientists. It is now researching and developing the serum of the zombie virus. I can tell you as appropriate." Yang Yiqin said with a smile, "Actually, we also told the villagers in our village about the research on the serum. , but didn’t say that Feng Lin and I have it.”

Liu Wen and Zhang Bo nodded: "No problem."

Yang Yiqin asked: "Since Uncle Liu is fine, shall we deal with the zombies in the air-raid shelter next?"

Hearing this, Liu Wen stood up, and Uncle Zhang helped him untie the hemp rope.

"Thank you, I'll just come by myself." After thanking Liu Wen, he wrapped a bandage around the wound on his ankle. "The little grandson of the Lin family is also in the cave. I don't know what's going on now."

Yang Yiqin was surprised: "Why is he inside?"

No wonder Liu Wen realized that he didn't have much time, so he said that he was going to the air-raid shelter to solve the culprit.

As everyone moved towards the courtyard, Liu Wen explained in detail——

"The zombie crawled out of the air-raid shelter by itself, wandered around the village looking for the smell, and killed two villagers one after another. Only then did the Lin family boy realize that the zombie he raised had escaped. But he didn't tell me the truth at that time, he only said that the zombie It ran from the direction of his house, and his grandma is still at home now, asking me for help and telling me to save people quickly."

"Grandma Lin's legs and feet are inconvenient, but she reacted quickly and locked the door of the main house in time. When we arrived, two zombies were beating the crumbling wooden door. We solved the zombies and rescued Grandma Lin, and then I found out that The condition of a well is not right, the manhole cover is not covered, and the roar of zombies can be heard clearly."

Speaking of which, they were already standing in front of the air-raid shelter.

Liu Wen pointed to the manhole cover and said, "Grandma Lin cried and said that the zombies crawled out of her air-raid shelter..."

Hearing this, everyone can roughly guess the next plot.

It was nothing more than finding out that the matter had been revealed, so the Lin family boy took the opportunity to sneak attack Liu Wen and pushed him down the hole—the wound on his ankle must have been left at that time.

Sure enough, Liu Wen's words confirmed this guess.

"Because of his actions, the zombies killed two villagers. He wanted to kill people to bury the truth, so he attacked me."

Zhang Bo asked: "So why is the Lin family boy in the cave?"

"It's a bit complicated to say. I didn't plan to punish him like this at first." Thinking of what happened more than half an hour ago, Liu Wen couldn't help smiling bitterly, "When I was trying to climb up, the Lin family boy tried to block the manhole cover of the air-raid shelter , cut off my retreat. Grandma Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so she hit him with a crutch, and I took the opportunity to climb out."

"I got into a fight with him when I came out. During our scuffle, he lost his mind long ago, and even wanted to push Grandma Lin down the hole. I was almost mad at the time... In the end, he was no match for me. , fell down by himself."

Although Liu Wen was very annoyed by the other party's actions, seeing Grandma Lin scolding the Lin family boy in anger, and then crying bitterly because her grandson fell into the well, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.Although the grandson of the Lin family took the lead and even wanted to push Grandma Lin out of the air-raid shelter, in the eyes of Grandma Lin, who only cared about her grandson, these actions were far less important than the other party's safety.

Liu Wen held back the pain in his ankle, and sent the distraught Granny Lin to a safe place, and then rushed back to the courtyard.

"Then here comes the question—" Yang Yiqin's eyes fell on the opening of the air-raid shelter, "Why is the manhole cover locked from the inside?"

Hearing this, Liu Wen was a little surprised: "The manhole cover is locked from the inside? Because the Lin family boy was also bitten, I had no choice but to cover the manhole cover and put stones on it to prevent him and the zombies from crawling out again."

Originally, he wanted to settle Grandma Lin and die with the zombies inside.

Feng Lin boldly guessed: "Perhaps the prisoner did it himself."

Uncle Zhang frowned: "I can't..."

How can someone be so overwhelmed, first raise a group of zombies for entertainment, and then after falling into the zombie cave, lock the manhole cover to cut off his escape.

Feng Lin's eyes darkened: "If it's true or not, you'll know when you open it."

As he spoke, he walked towards the manhole cover and rolled up his sleeves again.He tensed his muscles, gripped the bone-chilling iron handle tightly, and lifted the entire manhole cover up.

Zhang Bo and Liu Wen held their breath.

"Boom-"

After a loud noise, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Feng Lin opened the heavy manhole cover with brute force.

The air-raid shelter was dug very deep, and it was a black hole at a glance. Everyone was already waiting in full swing, and took out their weapons and pointed them into the hole.After the manhole cover was no longer in the way, the faint roar of the zombies reached their ears.

Liu Wen showed a strange look: "What's going on..."

Uncle Zhang asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Liu Wen replied: "There are not as many zombies inside...it sounds like there are not as many as before."

Yang Yiqin and Feng Lin were fully equipped with all kinds of equipment. They took out the bright flashlights they carried with them and shone them into the air-raid shelter.Unfortunately, from the angle above, only the ladder and a small area can be seen.

I saw blood and dirty marks on the ladder.

Yang Yiqin listened carefully and found that the roars inside seemed to come from only two zombies.

"I'll go down and see."

He said.

"I'll come." Feng Lin took out his axe, "You follow me."

Liu Wen stopped them: "The elders are here, how can you two juniors be put in danger, I have already experienced it once, I should go down."

"This kind of thing doesn't need to be robbed."

After speaking, Yang Yiqin took out his pistol with a smile, and fired directly towards the entrance of the cave.

After the loud gunshots, there were small sounds of movement in the air-raid shelter, as well as the sound of clothes rubbing against the ground.The four of them waited quietly for a while, until a disabled zombie dragged its body and slowly crawled towards the direction of the gunshot.

In order to prevent everyone from scrambling for the "place", Yang Yiqin didn't skimp on bullets, and shot the zombie's head off.

After waiting for another 2 minutes, another zombie, unable to walk upright, dragged its bitten and broken body, and slowly moved towards the direction of the sound centimeter by centimeter.

Seeing this zombie, Liu Wen immediately said, "This is the grandson of the Lin family!"

Everyone carefully looked at the zombies below, and found that his winter clothes had been torn off, and his exposed body had been torn and bitten to pieces. There was hardly a piece of good flesh visible, and the flesh and bones could be seen on his legs.

After it was headshot, there was no more sound from below.

At this moment, Mao Xiaoliu voluntarily jumped into the air-raid shelter, making a meowing sound in the dark.After a while, it crawled back nimbly and shook its head at Yang Yiqin.

Yang Yiqin: "It said that there are no other zombies down here."

Liu Wen was even more surprised.

"There should be at least four more."

Zhang Bo: "Go down and have a look."

This time, he jumped out of the air-raid shelter first without waiting for communication, and the others followed.

The light of the flashlight swept across the air-raid shelter, and there were indeed no other zombies here.Because the necks of the other zombies were either bitten off, or the back of their necks were chopped off by a sickle.

In addition to the neck, their other parts were also smashed to pieces by the sickle-this is why the first zombies moved on their stomachs.

Zombies will not bite zombies, let alone attack other zombies.

It was clear who the murderer was.

Feng Lin moved the flashlight to the ground somewhere in the air-raid shelter, and saw a few large characters written crookedly in black and red flesh on the ground—"Grandma, I'm sorry".

For a while, everyone's mood was a little complicated.

The author has something to say:
