The wind blowing in front of him has the magical power to blow away people's thoughts. Wu Qi originally held on to his mind, but at the end he couldn't help but look back at Yuanji.
It was too late for him to turn back, and the figures of Renee and others on the ground had become so small that they could hardly be seen clearly.
"Renee, you can't afford to be wrong." Wu Qi said silently. If he had a choice, he wanted to wait until Renee woke up and tell her personally.
Wu Qi redirected his gaze and never looked back. Those deep obsidian eyes seemed to see the end of the journey across thousands of kilometers of wilderness and mountains.
... ...
As time passed, the rising moon slipped from the top of the sky and gradually turned into an orange sunset. The drunken glow penetrated the curtain of the sky, dividing the west and east sides of the sea of clouds into two worlds of red and purple.
The light of the setting sun shines on the boundless wilderness. Renee, who was lying face down on the ground, frowned unconsciously. Her eyelashes trembled slightly for a while, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Renee didn't know how long she had been unconscious. As soon as she woke up, she consciously tried to move, but sharp pain immediately erupted in her right side of her body. The pain caused Renee to lose the strength she had just mobilized.
"Ahem." Renee spit out the blood that accumulated in her mouth and wiped her mouth with her left leg. She used her atavistic power to temporarily seal the pain in her right half of her body. She carefully stood up and saw the shocking damage to her right shoulder.
Renee's right shoulder was struck with a deep "line of sky" wound, which extended to her waist, cutting open the combat uniform and splitting her body into two halves. While she was in a coma, her body's regenerative recovery power continued to operate, causing a large number of "suture threads" to grow on both sides of the wound to tighten the split half of her body.
Now the wound on her right shoulder has been pulled almost closed by "suture threads", the broken bones, muscles, and nerves are regenerated and reconnected, and the ruptured external organs are replaced by spare organs outside the body to perform their physiological functions. The fans of Weichen Pills Renee's vital signs themselves were not recovering.
Renee exhaled in fear when she saw that the skin on her legs was not red, not the dark red color of a "zombie".
It's not a bad thing if you're not dead, that's right. If you were really dead, you probably wouldn't have been comatose for such a long time, or you would have woken up on the spot.
"Wu Qi..."
Renee looked up and searched the surrounding wasteland, but did not see Wu Qi. She now recalled the memory before she completely lost consciousness, and all she could see was the image of Wu Qi suddenly betraying him and stabbing her in the back.
There is a memory hidden deep in my mind that has no pictures but vague sounds. In that memory, there was Wu Qi and another hoarse and evil voice. She couldn't remember the specific details of how they shut up because her brain was so groggy.
Renee got up and walked with a limp step to where the soldiers had fallen. There are pools of blood that have spread and solidified on the ground. The corpses of the soldiers were moved so that they were arranged at a certain distance. They all closed their eyes. If you didn't look at the shocking fatal wounds on their bodies and looked at their faces, they would look like they were sleeping quietly.
Renee's gaze extended along the array of soldier corpses to the end. There was a man walking there with his back turned to him. He was tall, strong, and slightly slender. Renee thought that it would not be against them, it would definitely be Nero.
"Captain Nero." Renee trotted up to the figure in three steps at a time. When she turned her head to look, the pupils in her blue eyes suddenly shrank.
The person walking there was indeed Nero, but his sculpture-like snow-red skin had completely changed, turning into a gloomy and evil dark red. Terrible blood lines clung to Nero's neck and face, and together with the dark red pigment, his handsome face with sharp edges and three-dimensional features was painted into a devilish appearance.
It wasn't until she walked in front of Nero that Renee saw Song Zha with her head facing Nero and lying in front of Nero's legs. He closed his eyes peacefully and looked eastward. There was a shocking bloody hole on his left chest.
"Captain Nero, I'm alive. That's great."
Renee's legs hanging by her legs clenched and unclenched her fists. She didn't know what words to use to comfort Nero, she could just clumsily say what she could think of.
"Okay... maybe. If he hadn't turned into that, he wouldn't have been able to guard their corpses east of the green vulture's mouth." Nero said softly.
Nero's tone and plaster sculpture-like face often give others a feeling of indifference, leading people who don't know Nero well to think that he is a man who is difficult to get close to. But Ming's words inadvertently revealed fragile emotions, like a glass and porcelain bottle, which would break when smashed.
After being resurrected from the dead and becoming a "zombie alive", the second life gained through this is neither a blessing nor a misfortune.
Renee stood there, staring at Nero's "zombie face", and unconsciously thought of Wu Qi.
Wu Qi has also gone through such a process, but his expression is more of an indifference to the past that cannot be changed, instead of becoming fragile and full of thoughts. From that point of view, Wu Qi's psychological endurance can be much higher than that of Niero. Behind this strong psychological endurance must be countless trials that have destroyed and tempered the will.
Although Wu Qi has disappeared, the little details he revealed when he got along with Renee were carefully recalled and integrated by Renee, which naturally combined Renee's admiration for him.
Renee admired Wu Qi from the bottom of her heart. Because of this, she felt doubly painful because Wu Qi killed all the soldiers except her.
"Renee, I'm very lucky that I didn't transform into a 'zombie' like him," Nero said softly, "Actually, just ask him to inject his blood into the bodies of all the sacrificed soldiers, and they will Become a 'zombie' and be resurrected like him, right?"
Renee always felt that there was a thick layer of dark clouds swirling and condensing in the dark, as if there was a substantial low pressure that made it difficult for her to breathe.
For a second, Nero's words sounded like thunder in Renee's ears. He said: "Renee, he gave me the choice. Whether to let the dead soldiers go to the ground, or whether to give them the virus and help them come back to life."
Renee blurted out without thinking: "That's easy to say, are you sure..."
Nero raised his head and glanced at Renee, and that look in his eyes that he had never seen before blocked the words that Renee naturally said. Renee's words stopped abruptly, and the flood of emotion in her blue eyes was forcibly suppressed.
It was like a precious antique porcelain bottle that fell to the ground and had a gap in his eyes, which was no longer perfect. Renee suddenly realized that when she was acting with Wu Qi, she did not understand the psychological differences between living people and corpses.
People who are resurrected by the zombie virus can claim to have a second life. There is a major mistake in that sentence, that is, the so-called second life, the "life" that is in the enemy's legs and can be lost at any time.
How could the resurrected person be so happy and happy! When the illusion of worrying about gains and losses takes away from one's own life, no matter how strong the consciousness is, people will be afraid and become fragile.
"I think it's a good thing to resurrect all the soldiers on the spot, including Song Zha, right?" Nero slowly said his thoughts, "Qi Wu, or should I call him 'Wu Qi'. Wu Qi Although that guy is the enemy of their camp, he can’t lie about the murderous intention of the blood-robed man. He can’t betray him, the only possibility is that he is controlled by the blood-robed man.”
An idea flashed in Renee's mind: "Control?"
"Yes, he now understands Wu Qi's concerns about seeing the culprit behind the scenes. Is the zombie virus an alien virus of the blood-robed man? There is a high possibility that the life after being resurrected by the zombie virus can be controlled by the blood-robed man. . Recalling the Gray Queen who was resurrected by Yidong in the northern battlefield, didn't she retreat without any reason at the critical moment when she had won a complete victory and was just shy of breaking through the northern front? He guessed The Gray Queen's retreat was in violation of the blood-robed man's order," Nero said.
Renee nodded: "It should be right. That can also explain why the man in blood robe appeared next to the Gray Queen and caught them off guard."
Although it was now proven that Wu Qifu was not a real rebel and there was nothing to be happy about, Renee could not help but feel relieved.
"So, if he, Song Zha, and all the dead soldiers are resurrected as 'Zombies', and if the blood-robed men come to attack the northern border in January, they will have a high probability of being controlled by the blood-robed men like Wu Qi. , became a tool for the blood-robed people to cooperate inside and outside to destroy the northern border. Whether they survived, but they became an uncertain factor harmful to the northern border." Nero said, his eyes gradually shifted to the southeast.
Nero didn't know if the direction was wrong, so he wanted to find the direction of the distant northern border and the direction of "home".
Renee bit her east lip, then waved her fist and said: "Even so, we must be resurrected and go back to the northern border with him! Captain Nero, Senior Song Zha and I wronged him, Crouching Tiger, and even the entire Northern Army. Are you a person who values their pursuits, are you willing to kill yourself in the occupied area just because the future cocoa is controlled by the enemy's power? The battlefield research institute can't do it, the Central Research Institute can do it! Just go to the future president to survive. There will be changes!”
"Captain Nero, let's talk openly. He has the same idea now as he did at first. He feels that whether he will be resurrected or not is not a controversial matter at all! He must be resurrected!" Renee said loudly.
"Even if I become a puppet enslaved by the blood-robed man like Wu Qi, or even become a sinner for the ages who helps the plague species invade humanity in the future against my own consciousness, do I still think resurrection is necessary?" Nero suddenly said He roared, veins bursting out of his temples.
Renee spoke for a moment. She silently performed the atavism, and then said calmly and cold-bloodedly: "Wrong! Even if we become slaves of the enemy like Wu Qi, we will still live! If we don't believe in ourselves after resurrection, then He will manage us. If anything happens to us, he will be responsible for everything. If we 'betray', he will execute us!"
"Nero, his strength is beyond my imagination, so please believe in him and resurrect all the sacrificed soldiers. The ground in the occupied area is too cold, and the souls of soldiers will be lonely if left there. of."
After speaking, Renee stretched out her legs to Nero, and Nero looked up at Renee's eyes that were as calm as a distant world for a long time, and his body remained motionless like a stone sculpture for a long time.
Nero's eyes gradually lit up with the lost luster, and he moved his lips and murmured: "Renee, I'm awake..."
"Wrong, because he remembered everything."
