Three trucks were speeding on the road, with broken down cars on both sides, being knocked out of shape. The ground was a mess, and from time to time there were bloody human bones.
Thick smoke was still rising from the buildings in the distance, the sound of cars was heard, and various cries and pleas for help came from upstairs.
The truck didn't slow down at all, but accelerated past.
Suddenly, a "person" jumped out of the alley and chased after the car. He was hunched over, his gray and rotten face was swollen, his eyes were cloudy and white, and there was only one hand left on his body. He roared low and his face was ferociously twisted.
Seeing the monster so close, with brown blood stains on its clothes and rotten flesh still hanging on its body, the people in the carriage were trembling, and some timid women and children were already sobbing.
"Whoever cries again, I will throw him down to feed the zombies!" The person sitting inside stood up. He was thick and strong, holding a wooden barn in his hand. He looked at the zombies that were chasing after him with a disdainful expression on his palms. A ball of fire was condensed and struck directly.
The zombie's head was immediately scorched, and it was left far behind.
Yang Jian looked at them and sneered, "A junior zombie scared you into being like this, you are a bunch of useless trash!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the car didn't dare to express their anger. Several children, only a few years old, were hugging their mothers, their faces turned pale with fear.
They were crying fiercely a few days ago, but they saw with their own eyes that they threw a crying baby out. The crazy mother was also jumped out of the wooden warehouse and threw it down to feed the zombies. From then on, they just stayed there. He was stunned, as if he was frightened.
Ji Huai was being hugged by a pair of slender hands. The person next to him was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat. He bit his lips tightly and did not dare to make a sound. His teeth were chattering. His fair face was bloodless at the moment. Xingzi's eyes were full of fear.
He stretched his hand back and took Jiang Su into his arms.
Jiang Su held on to his clothes tightly without saying a word, eager to gain energy and security from him.
Fortunately, fortunately he is still there.
"Ha." Yang Jian glanced at the two of them with his peripheral vision and looked down upon them at all. When his eyes fell on Jiang Su, he quickly moved away and sat back.
Ji Huai lowered his head, his dark eyes shone with a cold light, and retracted his hand on Jiang Su's waist.
Jiang Su's mood slowly recovered and he raised his head. His bright eyes were full of anxiety and fear. He couldn't help but said to him, "They..."
Before she finished speaking, Ji Huai winked at her. She suddenly stopped and said no more, but her eyes were filled with tears and despair.
Ji Huai knew what Jiang Su overheard.
This group of people kept them not to send them to a safe base, but to drop one or two when necessary so that they could stop the zombies and earn crystal cores for them by killing the zombies.
Half a month ago, a meteorite hit the ground and brought an unknown virus. For the next three days and three nights, the sky was terrifying blood red.
Then there was a heavy rain, and the blood-red clouds disappeared. Although everyone felt strange, they finally returned to normal. Unexpectedly, some humans suddenly turned into zombies.
They had corpse spots on their bodies, their eyes were blurred, their skin was black and blue, and they were biting and eating people like crazy.
He and Jiang Su were employees of the same company and got together two months ago. It happened to be after get off work at that time, and the two made an appointment to watch a movie. As soon as they walked downstairs, a group of zombies appeared, and they heard wailing and screaming.
The two hid in the convenience store downstairs of the company and survived for a week relying on the food there. Then they were rescued by a rescue team sent by the government. They were told that they would be sent to a nearby security base.
Everyone thought they were saved, but they were attacked by a group of zombies on the way. Army soldiers stood in front of them and were all destroyed to protect them. The few superpowers in the car killed the last few zombies, formed a superpower team with Xu Shaohang as the captain, and took over them at the same time.
They also said that although they would not protect them, they also said that they would not abandon them and that everyone would go to the safe base together.
The baby was thrown out of the car the day before yesterday because his crying would attract zombies and harm everyone.
In this case, they can't protect themselves, so they can only believe. But Ji Huai knew that when they finally arrived at the safe base, not a single one of their group of "ordinary people" was left.
In his previous life, he died relatively late and was the last among this group of ordinary men. Later, he awakened his spiritual powers, but because his powers were too weak, he was eventually left to stop the zombies.
Before that, in order to escape, he mercilessly threw Jiang Su, who had always been loyal to him, into a pile of zombies. He felt no heartache, only pity.
Jiang Su is quite pretty, and although he has no special powers, he can keep it for everyone to enjoy, to please them and gain some benefits at the same time.
Come to think of it, he was really a scumbag. Jiang Su loved him deeply and even risked his life to save him twice on the way. He was the white-eyed wolf who repaid kindness with revenge.
"Kathorn—"
Everyone leaned aside and the car stopped.
Yang Jian stood up, looked around them, and ordered in a cold voice, "All men, get out of the car and kill the zombies. Women and children stay in the car!"
"If your men can't get food, you will starve together. We don't have any extra food for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the car had a look of fear on his face, and the woman was holding on with all her strength, and her cries could not be suppressed.
Jiang Su's pupils shrank, and she hugged Ji Huai's hand desperately, her face turned pale, "No... don't go."
"Get down!" Yang Jian pointed at them one by one with the wooden warehouse, his face was very impatient, and the wooden warehouse in his hand seemed to be ready to explode at any time.
The twenty or so men in the car were so frightened that they got out of the car one after another, some of their feet were still shaking. Ji Huai grabbed Jiang Su's hand hard and then released it, patting the back of her hand gently to reassure her. But her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she covered her mouth and cried.
"Give them each a knife." Yang Shaohang walked down. He was tall and straight, with a cold appearance. He was wearing a black leather jacket and military boots. He glanced at them indifferently and said without emotion, "Can you If you can’t reach the base alive, it’s up to you.”
Only half a month after the end of the world, Xu Shaohang was already a third-level lightning power user. He was the strongest and decisive in his methods, and the power users obeyed his orders.
Yang Jian is a second-level fire power user, and his sister Yang Yumei is a second-level gold power user. They have also attracted many first-level power users along the way, and the team has gradually become stronger.
Yang Yumei is a shrewd and capable woman. She is not beautiful and has a arrogant face, but she is cruel and ruthless. She followed Xu Shaohang and saw a zombie appearing not far away. She narrowed her eyes and turned the metal in her hand into a sharp knife, splitting the slow-moving zombie's head in half.
Yang Jian asked the two superpowers to throw the knives to the man who got out of the car, and pointed to the opposite side, "Did you see it? That's a supermarket. You only have fifteen minutes. It's up to you how much you can get. If you don't come back after fifteen minutes, Don’t blame us for abandoning you.”
"There are crystal cores in the zombies' heads. If you get them, one crystal core will be exchanged for a pack of instant noodles."
Women are still useful, but men without special powers are useless!
"Daddy." As soon as a little girl shouted out in the car, her mother covered her mouth and hugged her tightly. The woman looked haggard, crying and shaking her head.
The dark-skinned man next to Ji Huai had red eyes and veins bulging in his forehead. He grabbed the long knife in his hand and rushed forward.
Even though it was broad daylight, the sunlight inhibited the zombies, but smelling the smell of humans, the zombies couldn't help but come out one by one, dragging their stumps and broken arms and attacking them with a putrid smell.
Jiang Su looked at Ji Huai's back, his body was shaking violently, and he was choking and crying. He leaned weakly in the car, holding his hands and praying silently.
The superpower team is divided into two groups. One group goes to the supermarket to grab supplies. With the support of the group of ordinary men, the superpowers can get more things. There were two second-level zombies inside. Xu Shaohang led Yang Jian to deal with them. The other group was led by Yang Yumei, who stayed in place to protect the people in the car.
Yang Yumei had just finished killing a zombie and caught a glimpse of Jiang Su inside, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. She was pretty and beautiful, and she was crying so much that it made people feel pitiful. The corner of her mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile.
Looking good in the apocalypse is not a good thing.
Inside the supermarket.
Zombies and humans are fighting. For ordinary people to fight zombies, they still need to have skills. Some men are extremely weak, tall and thin with little flesh. Not long after entering, they were scratched by zombies and pushed to the ground to eat.
The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, accompanied by the sound of zombies chewing.
Ji Huai saw a few packages of biscuits left on the shelf not far away and ran over to grab them quickly. Just as he was about to turn around, a waiter zombie rushed over from the front. It had bulging eyes, gray skin, a crooked neck, and lunged at him with its mouth open and teeth exposed.
He dodged, pushed the shelf over with great effort, and fell on top of it, constantly moving back. The zombie was very strong and quickly stood up, roaring angrily.
A man wearing glasses looked at him not far away, gloating and proud, with no intention of helping.
Die.
After he died, Jiang Su could only rely on him.
When Ji Huai saw it, his face changed, he pretended to be panicked, and tried his best to parry with the knife in his hand.
Zhang Xuelei pretended not to see it and retreated, took two large bags of instant noodles, and threw a fireball as big as a football at the nearby zombies. The smell of burning could be heard.
As soon as he left, a sharp cold light flashed in Ji Huai's eyes. He picked up the fire extinguisher next to him and smashed it on the zombie's head. It smashed it to pieces in two blows, and he accurately found the bean-sized red crystal core.
"help me… "
The man in a suit saw him approaching and stretched out his hand weakly towards him. The zombie's hands had already opened his body, digging into his flesh and blood. Ji Huai changed the direction of the knife in his hand, rushed forward and pierced the zombie's head quickly and accurately, pulled out the knife and kicked the zombie aside.
Ji Huai looked at his blackened wound with a calm expression, "You will turn into a zombie soon."
This scene is too familiar in the last days, human life is not valuable, and he has long lost sympathy.
The last hope of the other party was shattered. He felt the changes in his body and his fingers started to turn blue. He looked at Ji Huai pleadingly, "Kill me, quickly, quickly..."
By the highway.
Xu Shaohang killed the two second-level zombies, and Yang Jian followed him. Survivors came out one after another from the supermarket. Some were caught by zombies while carrying food and were eaten by zombies.
The screams and calls for help continued, but the superpowers were indifferent. Only those who returned soon could be protected.
Jiang Su kept staring at the door, biting his lower lip until it bled, and his eyes filled with tears.
Zhang Xuelei, who joined the company as an intern in the same group as her, came back first. The other person was a person with superpowers. Jiang Su looked at him and asked tremblingly, "Have you seen Ji Huai? Have you seen him?"
Zhang Xuelei looked sad, and finally said with difficulty, "It's full of zombies. Team leader Ji seems to have been chased by zombies. I didn't see anyone."
"sorry."
Jiang Su's eyes turned black and her body was shaky. She fell into the car and burst into tears. The little girl next to her looked at her with timid eyes, hesitated for a moment, and tried to comfort her, "Sister, don't cry."
"Don't be afraid, even if Team Leader Ji is gone, I will protect you." Zhang Xuelei promised.
When he said this, several women in the car looked over with longing.
A woman with superpowers, at least she doesn't have to starve or be abandoned, and she can still live.
Zhang Xuelei could naturally feel their gazes, and the corners of his mouth curled up, looking at Jiang Sugeng, who was determined to win. Doesn't she like capable men? Otherwise, why would he be with Ji Huai, the leader of the project team, and look down on him as an intern.
Now the other party is an ordinary person, and he is a superpower!
Jiang Su fell into grief and didn't look at him at all. She still refused to believe it. Her red and swollen eyes kept looking at the supermarket door. Tears blurred her vision. She tried to wipe it again and kept looking.
Zhang Xuelei was ignored and his face darkened. He originally decided to give her a pack of instant noodles, but in the end he left without saying anything.
She would beg him.
"Everyone, get in the car!" Yang Jian shouted and jumped on the car.
"There are still people who haven't come back, wait a minute, wait a minute." The woman in the car started to make a commotion, yelling, and Jiang Su also threw herself behind.
"If you don't want to leave, just get down!" Yang Yumei turned around and said coldly, "Those who haven't come out now will most likely feed the zombies."
The truck started to start, but there was no sign of Ji Huai yet. Jiang Su's eyes gradually darkened, she put away her tears, and became unusually calm. She clenched her hands so hard that her fingertips turned white. She looked at the ground and prepared to jump. She wanted to find Ji Huai!
If you stay here, your death will only be more miserable and humiliating.
That group of people kept them just so that the men could fight, haunt the zombies for them, and get the crystal cores. If men die, women will be reduced to playthings, serving them, squeezing out their value and then being discarded.
"Brother is back!" the little girl's immature voice sounded, shouting to her in surprise.
Jiang Su suddenly raised her head and saw Ji Huai running towards this direction. Her heart was in her throat. She turned around and saw that the first car had already driven away. She was holding on to the door and was sweating profusely.
quick.
Quick.
The second car drove forward, and those with special abilities held wooden warehouses and began to shoot at the zombies coming this way. Yang Yumei looked around and looked at Yang Jian, "Brother, there are more and more zombies."
"Then someone needs to sacrifice." Yang Jian said, picking up the wooden warehouse, aiming at the people running back, switching back and forth on them.
Ji Huai glanced over to the other side, quickly crossed the railing, and changed to another lane.
Yang Jian's Mucang method was not very accurate. He couldn't aim at him at all, so he moved away from him and replaced him with the next one.
Xu Shaohang reminded lightly: "Install the silencer."
Yang Jian knew it, but still had to put on a show so as not to cause trouble for himself. He put on the muffler again, and when Ji Huai chased him and jumped into the car, the thin man not far from him fell to the ground and felt severe pain in his feet.
"Wait for my husband, my husband fell." When the woman in the car saw it, she became excited and cried and begged, "He will be here soon, please wait for him."
"Wait for him..."
She watched the zombies around her rushing towards the man, her voice gradually weakened, her eyes were dull, she shook her head and murmured, "He's coming back soon, he's coming back soon..."
Ji Huai was covered in sweat, panting heavily, and his chest was heaving violently. He covered Jiang Su's eyes, preventing her from seeing the scene not far outside the car.
Jiang Su hugged him with all her strength and nestled on his neck, her body trembling uncontrollably. Ji Huai hugged her back, and the truck kept accelerating forward. She did not raise her head, and his clothes were all wet with her tears.
The body temperature in his arms was as cold as freezing point. He held her hand but couldn't keep it warm.
"Don't be afraid." He put his hand on the back of her head, rubbed it, and said warmly in her ear, "I said I would protect you, so I won't leave you alone."
Before the last note fell, his clothes were wet with tears again.
The car was full of people just now, but now there are many fewer people. There are only sixteen men left, and nearly half of them are dead.
In the couple opposite, the man devoured the only pack of biscuits and said fiercely to the woman, "Why should I share the food with you after I fought so hard to get it back? Get out!"
The woman pulled him and beat him, cried and called him a wolf-hearted man, and was slapped several times.
"Eat something first." Ji Huai held her with one hand, took out a chocolate biscuit from his coat, tore open the package and put it in her hand, and tucked her messy hair behind her ear.
"You eat it." She said and stuffed it back to him.
"I still have it." Ji Huai took out another small piece of compressed biscuit and whispered into her ear, "I still have it in my sleeve. It's not convenient to put it in my pocket while running. Is there still a little water in the bag?"
As he said this, he went to find it, took it out, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to her mouth. Jiang Su looked at the few remaining water and refused to drink it, holding the chocolate biscuit in his arms and sipping it.
Every bite seemed precious, something he had paid for with his life.
The lonely woman looked at Jiang Su and the other women who were protected by their husbands, staring at them.
In desperate situations, the ugliness of human nature begins to appear. Those who didn't get the food hugged their wives and cried when they came back. Among those who did get the food, some ignored their wives and children and hid them alone, leaving their wives and children hungry. But there were also some who only cared about their wives and children. , pick up the heavy burden on your shoulders.
The little girl next to her ate the bread handed to her by her father, took a small bite, and then handed it to her father's mouth.
"Dad won't eat." The dark man licked his chapped lips and said to her with a smile.
"Dad can only fight monsters when he is full." She insisted and handed it to the man's mouth, looking at him with clear eyes. The man's eyes were moist, and he smiled and took a small bite.
The thin and fair woman next to him opened the remaining bag of pastries and broke most of it to him.
The man pushed back, his eyes falling on her belly, "Eat more."
He wanted to save his life, so he grabbed two bags of food and ran out quickly without killing the zombies. It doesn't matter if he's hungry, what will happen to his wife and children if he dies
The woman also refused to eat, and in the end each of them had half the meal.
The man was tall and had a big appetite, but he felt a little annoyed after eating this pastry. He might as well give it all to his wife.
After Jiang Su finished eating one biscuit, Ji Huai took out another one, tore it open and gave it to her. He forced it into her hand and said, "Be obedient. Only when you are full can you regain your strength and run when in danger."
She was afraid of dragging him down, so she could only continue eating.
"Who got the crystal core? One crystal core is exchanged for a pack of instant noodles." A person with a superpower held instant noodles in his hand and looked around at the group of low-level creatures with disdain.
For them, the crystal core can restore superpowers and advance quickly, but it is useless for ordinary people. They now see this group of people as no different from animals that are allowed to be slaughtered.
"I have it." The man who just slapped his girlfriend excitedly took out a red crystal core, "Is it this?"
The superpower was very satisfied and threw a pack of instant noodles to him. Everyone in the car looked at him with envy, but they looked at his girlfriend who was beaten to the ground with a little contempt in their eyes.
The dark-skinned man looked at the instant noodles, his stomach growling. He was afraid that his wife and daughter would hear it, so he secretly pressed his stomach hard.
Ji Huai glanced sideways at him and relaxed his hold on Jiang Su.
The dark-skinned man was swallowing saliva when suddenly there was a foreign object in the palm of his hand. He opened it and saw a red crystal core lying inside. His eyes suddenly shrank. After being stunned, he slowly raised his hand and said, "I, I seem to There are also…”
The superpower came over, took away the crystal core, and threw him a pack of instant noodles.
He looked at the instant noodles, still in a daze, and his eyes fell on Ji Huai next to him. The other person smiled at him and picked up the compressed biscuit in his hand, "Want to change? I want to eat instant noodles."
"...Okay, okay." He quickly handed it over with both hands and kept thanking him, "Thank you, thank you."
He was not stupid, and of course he knew that the other party did not want to eat instant noodles. Half of the people in the car had no food, so the other party could not bring him food in an honest way, as it would cause trouble.
He can't eat instant noodles, but he can eat compressed biscuits.
He broke off another piece for his daughter-in-law, who exchanged bread for him, and broke off another small piece for his daughter. A long-lost smile appeared on the faces of the family.
Jiang Lirong took the initiative to introduce himself. He was from the north, tall and strong, but with dark skin. His daughter-in-law Lin Xia was from the south, fair and petite, and her four-year-old daughter was named An An.
"Ji Huai." After Ji Huai finished speaking, he pointed at Jiang Su, "My girlfriend Jiang Su."
He knew that Jiang Lirong and he were the only ones among this group of ordinary people who could inspire supernatural powers. Jiang Lirong has water powers. He activated his powers relatively late. At that time, his wife had been infected with the zombie virus and was still pregnant with a child. Later, his daughter also died. He didn't know if he didn't want to live, so he died tragically while covering their departure during a mission. .
In fact, it was not worth it, because the death of his wife and children had nothing to do with Yang Jian's group. He remembered that his wife was dragged into bullying at that time, and she resisted fiercely before being thrown into the zombie crowd, but Jiang Lirong didn't know.
Along the way, his wife's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he tried his best to take care of her and fight for food. Such a man values friendship.
Jiang Lirong smiled in a friendly and somewhat honest manner. He also had a good impression of Ji Huai. He could still value his girlfriend so much when he had no powers. He was a brother he admired.
The little girl was eating compressed biscuits and looking at the two of them with round eyes, "Thank you, brother and sister."
Jiang Su also smiled back, so cute.
In her hand, she had a piece of chocolate that Ji Huai had just quietly given her, but she couldn't give it to her. When she looked up and saw the eyes that kept falling on them, she hid the chocolate deeper.
