The living coffins in the parking lot were startled, and they all started to run away.
Father Ding was horrified and couldn't believe his ears: "...they... can speak?"
To be precise, they learned onomatopoeia.
They use the high-speed vibration of leaves to simulate a human-like sound, which is more like a child because it is more tinny.
In Ding Qiuyun's memory, after the cataclysm broke out, most of the mutant plants learned this skill.
After suffering a few losses, every time he heard a child's cry for help, he would have an eye for it and would never rescue him easily.
Chi Xiaochi refused to think about who this creeping tiger learned the words "Uncle, open the door", and motioned Father Ding to leave this place of right and wrong quickly.
Father Ding regained his senses and stepped on the accelerator immediately, but the car only drove half a meter before it stopped and fell violently, as if it was being pulled by something.
Father Ding's face changed greatly: "There is something in the tire."
The creeping tiger has already climbed to the second underground floor. On the way, it has probably absorbed a lot of human flesh and blood with the new tricks it has learned. It grows rapidly and is strong enough to control a vehicle that is about to escape.
Without any hesitation, Chi Xiaochi put on the leather gloves to protect his fingers, pulled out a sweater from his bag, took out the automatic lighter from the co-pilot's glove box, lit his sleeves, and said, "Dad, don't let go of the accelerator. Wait. I'll lock the door when I go out. When the car can move, just drive, keep driving in the direction of Wutong East Road, and don't look back."
"Autumn Clouds!"
When the flames were getting hotter, Chi Xiaochi turned around and looked at Mother Ding.
The light of the fire illuminated the light brown pupils of the young man.
He smiled and said, "Sister Ding, don't be afraid. I can catch up."
Chi Xiaochi sighed, opened the car lock, first tossed out the flaming sweater, and instantly forced back the monsters clinging to the window and peeping coldly.
With his bag on his back, he dodged through an open gap.
With a bang, the door closed.
It is impossible to get rid of the instincts that have evolved over thousands of years. Plants are always afraid of fire.
At this moment, Chi Xiaochi handed over his body completely to Ding Qiuyun, who took over the control tacitly, holding a blazing fire in his left hand, and pulling out a hidden dagger from the waist of his right hand.
While raising the flames to clear the creeping tiger that was trying to wrap his ankles, he cut a blade of Hanmang from the back of his head with his backhand, and could cut off the creeping tiger vine that had wrapped around his neck!
With a puff, warm plant juice splashed his face.
He ripped off the vine that was trying to climb up his face like a broken snake and burrowed into its seven orifices, to ensure the safety of his feet, and rushed to the right rear wheel of the car.
Black-pressed vines twisted around the tires, like a ghost's hair. Even if they were crushed by the high-speed idling wheels, they were indifferent.
However, upon encountering the flames, the vines screamed and stepped back.
As soon as the tires loosened, the car immediately turned a corner, the tread rubbed on the ground with a sharp sound, and rode away from the dust.
Chi Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief.
Father Ding was a decisive person, and he trusted his son who had served in the army.
That's fine.
After his parents left safely, Chi Xiaochi turned his attention to the motorcycle that was parked on the side.
Fortunately, not many creepers cling to it.
With his sweater about to burn out, he sprinted to the motorcycle, straddled it, inserted the key, and tried to start it.
He twisted it, but couldn't start it.
The second time, still in vain.
The flame has gradually weakened, and the creeping tigers are surrounded by ghosts, rustling, and heading towards this nutritious human flesh flower pot.
Chi Xiaochi twisted several times in a row, but the frozen car still couldn't start normally.
Seeing that the prey could not escape, the creeping tigers actually stopped and watched.
… They have evolved a nasty habit of teasing their prey, just like cats.
Under their observation, unless the man took off his clothes and ignited it again, he would not be able to start a large-scale fire again.
But in that case, he'll be frozen very quickly, and then he'll be eaten.
The heads of the few spiked plants raised their heads like cobras, the leaves shrank and agitated, giving out a shrill smile of a child: "Hee hee."
Chi Xiaochi took out something from the half-opened backpack.
… windproof lighter.
When the small light blue flames jumped out, these shrewd ivy didn't shy away, their laughter was so sharp that the tone had changed.
Since they have near-human intelligence, they have been learning all kinds of knowledge tirelessly.
So they recognize what it is.
On the way here, more than one person has tried to scare them with this kind of thing.
However, the current lighters have explosion-proof designs, which are extremely strong, and will not burst even if they are dropped on the ground with the strength of breastfeeding.
They just waited quietly for the human to scare them away and go crazy.
When the human was too frightened and threw the lighter on them, they would swarm up, drill into any orifice of the human body in front of them, and then drill out from any orifice, sucking up the flesh and blood, so as to save up to attack the next person. strength.
When the ivy vibrated the blades and communicated with each other about the next action plan, Chi Xiaochi took out another thing.
This afternoon, he bought a small hand-held fire extinguisher from the store, about the size of a can of moisturizing spray.
While waiting for the water to be stored in the sealed tank just now, he disassembled the fire extinguisher and filled it with the spirits he bought.
Chi Xiaochi raised the jar, shook it, pointed the spout at the burning flame, and pressed the spray button.
With a snort, the raging flames rushed out, and a corner of the parking lot was completely illuminated by the flames.
Those flamboyant creeping tigers did not expect such a sudden change, they were burned and screamed again and again, and they shrank under the cars next to them.
Chi Xiaochi: "Hee hee hee."
Taking himself and the motorcycle as the center, and after clearing the safety area of about one meter around, Chi Xiaochi started the car.
The motorcycle was started, and the roar of the engine excited people's blood. Chi Xiaochi took off his helmet, put it on at the fastest speed, and cleared the field again before stepping on the accelerator.
He directly ran over the craggy tiger and chased in the direction where Ding's father and Ding's mother left.
After a distance, Chi Xiaochi saw a shocking scene through the brown glass embedded in the helmet.
—The protagonist of the tragedy is the Li family father and daughter they met on the stairs just now.
When he was fighting against the creeping tigers just now, Chi Xiaochi could faintly hear exclamations and screams coming from this direction, but such sounds could be seen everywhere in this hellish parking lot, and he didn't see it until he got close. what happened.
The Li family's vehicle was forced to stop on the uphill, and the window glass was smashed, leaving only the bones all over the floor. The little girl with the corpse on her wrist was picking up the human bones that were only blood and flesh.
The girl's hands, face, and even her mouth had a mixture of human blood and vine juice.
It's not hard to imagine what just happened here.
According to Ding Qiuyun's memory, most alienated creatures are insensitive to new humans except when they are extremely hungry or the predators are scavengers.
The creeping tigers ignored the little girl and took away her only relative in this world, leaving only a place of bones for her.
She shed tears as she picked it up, and countless fleeing vehicles whizzed past her in the driveway. With those lessons learned, no one had the guts to stop.
And every passing car inevitably ran into the human bones that were dragged everywhere by the creeping tiger.
The little girl has long lost the strength to fight for her life with the ivy, and begged in a hoarse voice: "Don't hit my dad, don't hit my dad."
No one could hear her voice.
Everyone followed the instinct of biological murder, and escaped first.
Chi Xiaochi's motorcycle stopped not far from her. He looked at a white skull at his feet, reached out and picked it up, and drove to the girl's side.
He asked the first question.
"where is your mom."
The little girl choked and put half of her thighbones into her own blanket and shook her head.
The second question: "Do you have any family?"
The little girl raised her red eyes and said softly, "They're afraid of me."
Chi Xiaochi looked at the vines that were about to move not far away, and handed her the skull: "Do you want to come up?"
The little girl hugged the remains of her deceased father and sat in the back seat of Chi Xiaochi.
She has nowhere else to go.
Chi Xiaochi took this new human being picked up halfway and drove into the boundless night.
The guardrail at the entrance of the parking lot has been smashed, and the high-rise building in the distance is on fire, and the white smoke rises, as if it has become a huge chimney. Probably no more waiting for fire trucks.
Shops on both sides of the road have been looted. Some people fell to the ground with bloody heads. Some were kicking the door.
Chi Xiaochi walked along Wutong East Road, and there were high-speed vehicles beside him, rushing to him from behind him, and disappeared at the end of the road.
Chi Xiaochi felt like a wheat ear swept over by a swarm of locusts.
But he felt extra warm.
"Teacher Liu, don't adjust my body temperature." Chi Xiaochi noticed something was wrong and reminded 061, "After we leave, Ding Qiuyun will have to live."
At present, Ding Qiuyun's body has not yet adapted to the extreme cold weather of the apocalypse, and Chi Xiaochi has to consider his future.
He remembered something again: "By the way, Teacher Liu, you should be as quiet as possible now—"
At this moment, the little girl who was holding her father's bones behind her suddenly let out a groan.
Chi Xiaochi turned his head: "Huh?"
The little girl whispered: "... your puppy."
Without waiting for the little girl to explain, Chi Xiaochi noticed that there was a familiar warm scarf around his neck.
… He thought the little thing was left in the car.
The little milk leopard seemed to be a little uneasy, and rubbed his wet nose lightly on the back of his neck, making Chi Xiaochi a little itchy: "Ouch."
Chi Xiaochi calmed it down softly and said, "It's alright."
Soon, the car of Ding's father and Ding's mother appeared in front.
The car has stopped, flashing with double flashes. Mother Ding's cheeks are frozen white, but she refuses to enter the car to warm up, she insists on waiting beside the car, and when she sees her son's figure, her tense hunched body relaxes a lot. .
The act of Ding's father and Ding's mother to park at will is actually very incorrect. As long as there is a young and strong hooligan who has no moral standards, their car will not be able to be kept.
Chi Xiaochi intends to find an opportunity to teach his parents these things again, so as not to suffer a loss and regret it.
He pulled the little girl and wanted to explain to his mother, but before he could speak, a familiar crisp sound of bell pills hitting the bell wall floated in his ears.
Chi Xiaochi froze for a while, and looked at the sound.
A young girl got out of the Ding family's car, her head full of white flakes from a fire extinguisher.
She also knew that her dignified appearance was not very attractive, so she immediately raised her hand to sweep the white fluff from her hair, and the bells of her hand jingled: "Hello, hello, I'm too cold, and I want to borrow your car. Get warm. I'm—"
What she was going to say and what she wanted to say next, Chi Xiaochi knew all about it.
She is a girl with a bloody life experience.
When she was first born, she was diagnosed with cancer by the hospital, and her parents were not responsible. They abandoned her in the winter trash can, wanting to give her and the couple a relief.
As a result, her loud cries attracted good-hearted people. She was taken to the orphanage, and after a medical examination, it was confirmed that she was not sick and was a healthy child.
The database misclassified the data, which caused her to be haunted from the moment she was born.
Fortunately, she is a strong enough person, and she did not develop a gloomy personality in the orphanage. She likes to talk and laugh, and is very likable. She often goes out to work, and works as a porter in those small supermarkets that have not yet popularized artificial intelligence. She is proud of being able to carry three cases of beer at once.
When the catastrophe came, she was on duty in the warehouse and was blocked by a group of rats. She managed to escape with a fire extinguisher and ran to the main road, looking for a companion.
After the girl briefly introduced her purpose, she introduced herself: "My name is Yan Lanlan."
She held out a hand, and the bell on her right wrist rang incessantly with her movements.
Jingle, Jingle, Jingle.
The young man on the opposite side seemed to be in a trance, but he quickly became firm and shook her hand lightly: "... Ding Qiuyun."
At this moment, when Ding Qiuyun met Yan Lanlan again, two cold notification messages were sent from a large AI terminal.
“…detected that there are still parts of the AI running continuously.”
"The main system will send the μ virus to the terminal that is still running, forcibly stop the operation."
