Orc X Doom

Barry brought everyone to the church hall. Vincent made a preliminary inspection of Jack's body and found that there were scars on his back, which should have been scratched by zombies.

"We have been attacked by zombies here." Arthur said: "Although the walls and door panels of this church are still solid, but after a long time... especially the wooden seals on the windows, they cannot withstand the damage of zombies, so we have to Repel the zombies." Arthur took out a gun from his body and gestured. "While strengthening the defense of the church."

Vincent nodded: "It's probably how he was injured and infected." Vincent turned his head to face the others, "But...in principle, I don't recommend trying to hide the truth when you're injured, my human friends. Of course, I don't deny that maybe There will be a chance of not being infected, but..."

"Ella is dead." Colin continued Vincent's words. "Because of concealment, an innocent life was sacrificed. After becoming a zombie, no matter what your wishes are, you will hurt all the lives closest to you, including..." Colin glanced at the two children who were playing with toys baby. "The person closest to you and the person you least want to hurt."

"So, human friends, if there is any injury or discomfort in the future, please tell us immediately, we promise that we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, just do a simple isolation, usually the zombie virus will attack within 12 hours , as long as this period of time has passed, it will be safe." Vincent added.

Barry took out the town map and showed it to everyone.

"Jack mentioned it to me at dinner yesterday." He pointed to the map and remembered the location, "This is the military training center in Savannah City. He said that he has been trying to adjust the radio channel to see if there are outside messages or broadcasts. , and it turns out he got a broadcast that went on and on."

"The broadcaster should be someone from this military center. The content is that this military training center is very safe, because it has many protections and towering walls to protect military secrets from being leaked, and there is sufficient food and drinking water inside. .”

"They called on all the survivors to come to them to accept their protection, and they also mentioned that there will be planes sent by the human army to this place in the next two days to pick up the survivors to a safe place."

"So our plan is this place, we will send you to this place, you will be safe, and we will continue to carry out the mission of saving other humans who are still surviving in other corners of this town."

Barry put away the map, and said to everyone: "We loaded all the materials that can be used by this church into the car, everyone took their own things, and we set off right away. We estimate that we can reach that place within half a day."

The old lady who had been silent all this time did not speak at this time: "Mr. Captain, we are not leaving."

Barry looked at the old lady, and said in a puzzled tone, "Ma'am, why?"

The grandma held the grandpa's hand tightly and said: "We are getting old...we ran for a month, hid for a month...we were tired. I was listening to the radio before it stopped broadcasting, and I knew very well... The zombie plague has spread to the whole world..."

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I know very well that there is no safe place in this world... We don't have many days to live. Maybe I went to that place and was taken to a safe place according to what the captain said. ...But Captain, you have no way to guarantee that we will be safe on the way, right? Maybe we will be attacked halfway, and then the old man and I will not only have no way to escape, but may even become people who hinder you .”

"So we want to stay here, stay in the palace closest to God, maybe we can live a few more days in peace... Even if we really die... I want to die here, and we should be able to get rid of the pain soon and return to the world. You are in the arms of God." The master also nodded to Barry, expressing his agreement with what the old woman said.

"I'll stay too, Captain." Arthur also said, "I'll stay with my parents, but please allow me to ask you one thing..." Arthur looked at his son Bob, his eyes full Loving and sorrowful. "I hope the captain can help me take Babu away, take him to the area you mentioned, let him go to a safe area, away from all this."

"He should have the right to choose to live, instead of staying here with us and continuing to be afraid, he is still so young... If things go well, he will have more opportunities to grow up... and look at this world, even if this The world is so cruel right now... but who knows, maybe there will be a solution to the zombie virus in the future..."

"So please Captain, please take Babu and let him go with you, he shouldn't sacrifice his possibility of having a future for our selfish and cowardly decision..." Arthur pleaded to Barry in a low voice road.

Barry frowned and looked at Arthur. He opened and closed his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything... for a long time... Barry spoke.

"I promise you……"

"Thank you, Captain, for your kindness." Arthur sincerely thanked Barry.

Calling Bob who was playing, Arthur hugged Bob tightly and kissed him on the forehead again and again.

"Little darling, you heard me... I ask the big brothers to take you to a safe place first... Dad and grandparents... We... We... We have to stay and take care of the little chickens behind... …They were born a few days ago, right, they still have a few days before they can leave here, so the daddies will stay and take care of them, and they will come to you soon, okay?"

Although this excuse is very clumsy, it is enough to deceive a child who is less than four years old, and Bob nodded obediently.

"Okay, Daddy, the little chickens are so cute, Daddy must protect them well, don't let them be eaten by bad monsters~" Babu said innocently in his childish language. "Father, when the little chick can be taken away, I will come to find Babu right away! Together with mother!" Babu happily wrung his fingers, "Mom has been traveling for several days, and father said that mother will die in fifteen days." I will be back, Bob counts it every day." Bob raised his face and looked at Arthur with bright eyes, "When Mom comes back, I will come to find Bob with Dad, and then we will be together forever."

Arthur held Babu in his arms and kept trembling slightly, desperately holding back the tears that were about to burst into his eyes: "Okay... Dad promises you... I will find you as soon as my mother comes back... and then we will be together forever..."

Everyone was about to pack up their belongings and prepare to evacuate. Zero asked Arthur, "Don't you need to leave some more food and water for you?"

Arthur shook his head: "Thank you...we...uh...there are still some in the storage room, enough for me and my parents."

"That's it...then please take care..."

"Thank you... and wish you all the best, Babu will be counting on you..."

After watching the crowd leave the church and the car drove away, Arthur finally couldn't help crying. He fell to his knees in front of his parents with a plop, apologizing to them while weeping.

"Dad, Mom...I'm sorry...I'm really, really sorry..." Arthur was crying like a child.

The old woman stroked Arthur's head gently, her eyes were red and she shed tears.

"No... child, you have done nothing wrong, what you are about to do... is a noble thing, you can relieve our pain and anxiety, you can make us peaceful... let us return to the embrace of God, no No matter how frightened I am every day and night..."

"We miss Jenny too...she is such a good girl, I believe we will be able to meet again in heaven..." the old man also comforted Arthur.

"Jenny..." Arthur reached into his trouser pocket with trembling hands, and took out the photo. He gently stroked Jenny's face in the photo while talking to himself.

"Will you be lonely if you are there alone? Do you often think about me? My dear... please wait for me... I will find you right away..."

Arthur rolled up his sleeves, raised his head, as if he had made some firm determination, and took out the pistol tied around his waist. There was a tooth mark that was still bleeding on the arm with the sleeves rolled up...

Zero was staring out the window in a daze on the bus, when suddenly two gunshots came from the direction of the departing church, and after a pause for a few seconds... there was another gunshot.

Zero looked at Barry in surprise: "They...!!!"

Barry also looked at Zero without saying a word, and Zero suddenly understood something from Barry's eyes, so Zero closed his mouth and bowed his head in silence.
