"Brother He, what are you going to do next? When are you going to leave here?" After He Jin's exhausted expression recovered, Gong Lixin couldn't sit still anymore, walked up to him and squatted down with his knees hugged, tilted his head, and asked expectantly .
"The apocalypse came too suddenly. It is estimated that the traffic in the whole city was blocked due to car accidents and soaring vehicles. Unless the military sends armored vehicles and trailers to clear the way, we will not be able to go out. Wait and see the situation." He He Jin frowned, his voice low.
Gong Lixin's expectant expression dimmed, his head was lowered, looking a little listless.
Seeing this, He Jin felt uncomfortable, pulled him to sit beside her, patted his back lightly, and comforted him softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely send you back safely."
He Jin was nicknamed 'Coffin Face', and his attitude was always cold. It was rare for him to be so kind to anyone, and he could even be called gentle and caring. Wu Ming glanced at him in surprise, but when he thought of Gong Shao saving his life, Wu Ming didn't think it was strange.
"I can protect myself." Gong Lixin's expression was still gloomy. After he finished speaking, he paused, and his tone became cautious, "Brother He, this is not a place to wait for a long time. You can't always wait for the army to come to rescue. In another ten In four days, these zombies will evolve, their joints are soft, their five senses are sensitive, running, jumping, and climbing will not be a problem, and by then, the three-meter-high wall will not be able to stop them."
From the broadcast before the end of the world, we know that the military has a lot of information, and all of them are extremely accurate. Gong Lixin's words immediately attracted the attention of the others.
Lu Yun shrank his neck and wailed, "Oh my god! Zombies can still evolve? If the military doesn't come to rescue us, wouldn't we be dead?"
"Why panic? The military doesn't come to rescue us, we can save ourselves. According to the original plan, Li Xin will be sent home within 14 days. There is a military passage in the military compound that is not open to the public, leading directly to the garrison camp. That road will never be blocked, so we will leave the city from there. If we are lucky, we may meet the army on the way. However, I need some time to think about how to reach the military compound safely." He Jin pondered .
Gong Lixin's delicate brows were slightly frowned, and she opened her mouth to say something, but finally bit her lip and didn't say anything.
Wu Ming has been Lu Yun's bodyguard for seven or eight years, and has experienced countless kidnappings and assassinations. He is the best at observing words and expressions. Often, he can interpret the person's true thoughts with just a glance or a small movement.
Seeing Gong Lixin's hesitant expression, Wu Ming said in surprise, "Young Master Gong, you don't mean to leave alone, do you? Even if your strength is superior, it's still very dangerous!"
He Jin's eyesight is far better than Wu Ming's. Hearing this, he immediately turned his head to look at Gong Lixin. Seeing that he really looked dismissive, he scolded angrily, "Do you want to die? You think you can do it with a little better skill?" Did you go to the sky? Do you know how many zombies there are outside? Six hundred thousand! There are six hundred thousand in the suburbs of the northern city alone, and everyone can drown you by spitting!"
Lu Yun also echoed, "Yes! Not to mention spitting, just the smell from them can kill you!" Lu Shaoyou has a slight obsession with cleanliness.
Wang Tao pursed his lips and remained silent, but judging by his expression, he also disapproved of Gong Lixin's decision.
"I won't leave alone." Gong Lixin tilted his head and spoke weakly. At first he wanted to take Wang Tao away and ask Wang Tao to show him the way home. However, when he found out that he could provoke Lu Yun and the others by jumping a three-meter-high wall, he immediately dismissed the idea.
If he took Wang Tao back to fly over the walls, Wang Tao would definitely treat him as a monster. He finally got everything he has now: freedom, sunshine, family, friends. He didn't want to lose, he didn't want to appear too different from ordinary people, he was Gong Lixin now, not the young master of the underground palace anymore.
Of course, this kind of depression is only temporary, and when the supernatural beings appear one after another, he will show his strength little by little. After all, in this purgatory-like apocalypse, one cannot survive without strength.
Seeing that everyone still had doubts on their faces, Gong Lixin lowered his head and said sullenly, "I won't leave alone. I don't know the way."
"Pfft~" Lu Yun sputtered, he never thought that Gong Lixin would say such a funny reason. Wang Tao turned away embarrassingly, to hide the twitching corners of his mouth.
Wu Ming and He Jin looked at each other, then looked at Gong Lixin, and asked hesitantly, "You mean, you don't know the way home?"
"Well," Gong Lixin lowered his eyes without looking at everyone's expressions, nodded and said in a low voice, "I can't tell the difference between east, west, north, and south. Besides, there are people picking me up every day when I go out, so I don't need to know the way."
Confined in the underground palace for sixteen years, Xiao Lin strictly restricted his scope of activities. He is usually in the practice room when he is not in the dormitory, and the practice room is still in the basement of the dormitory, and he will be there just by opening the secret door. How can he have a sense of direction. What's more, the roads of modern metropolises are more complicated than spider webs, and often even taxi drivers can't fully recognize them.
Wu Ming lowered his head and suppressed a smile. He Jin saw that although the child's expression was serious and he remained calm, the tips of his ears had already been stained with a layer of deep red. He was so serious and tried his best to hide his embarrassment that he couldn't tell how pitiful and cute it was, which made his heart itch. The exuberant anger has long since disappeared.
It was also the young master's fault, Lu Yun made him gnash his teeth in hatred, but Gong Lixin made him love him so much that his cold heart softened into a ball.
"In the future, there will be no car to pick up and drop you off. You have to learn to recognize your own way!" He Jin raised the corners of his mouth, his voice was unprecedentedly gentle, paused, reached out to touch the head of the slightly frustrated boy, and comforted him, "But don't worry. If you are in a hurry, take your time. Brother He will be responsible for sending you back before then."
"Well, thank you Brother He." He Jin's sincere love restored Gong Lixin's spirits, and he responded obediently with his cat eyes bent.
When a child does not use martial arts, his appearance is soft and weak, which makes people feel pity. At this moment, everyone completely forgot about his fierce skills before, and they all expressed comfort.
At this moment, the homeless man who was knocked out by Gong Lixin woke up tossing and turning, feeling his swollen and painful temples and slowly sat up, with a confused expression on his face. After a long while, when he recalled the shocking scene before he passed out, he grabbed the hem of his clothes and yelled, "Cheat, scam! Kill, kill!"
"Shut up!" He Jin frowned, turned and scolded the homeless man in the corner, "If you scream again, I'll throw you out to feed the zombies!"
He Jin's appearance was originally stern, coupled with the scar on his forehead, and the unconcealable hostility all over his body, he looked like a very difficult person to provoke. The homeless man immediately shut up, and hurriedly shrank to the corner, his body shaking like chaff.
It turned out that it wasn't a fraudulent corpse, it was a zombie! The tramp realized the situation and trembled even more.
Seeing that there were people who were more useless than himself, Lu Yun calmed down a bit, looked at Gong Lixin who was calm, and asked eagerly, "Young Master Gong, aren't you afraid? I think you kill zombies like chopping vegetables, He didn't even blink his eyes." Having adored Gong Lixin to the extreme, Lu Yun naturally used the honorific title for him, and dared not call himself Young Master Lu any longer.
Wu Ming and He Jin didn't find it strange at all. Since the military already had information, Gong Yuanhang must have strictly trained his son so that he could survive in the last days.
Before Gong Lixin could answer, Wang Tao spoke first, "Boss Gong said that zombies are not human beings, but a pile of dead meat. Killing them is no different from chopping meat. Don't be afraid!"
"Chop meat, chop meat..." Lu Yun repeated several times in a low voice, his expression suddenly cleared, and he clapped his hands, "Isn't it just chopping meat! I'm afraid of a ball! Brother He, get me a good weapon, I want to kill zombies too It's not a problem to always ask you to protect it!"
Even the arrogant Young Master Lu sometimes gets up, it's not easy! Sure enough, there is a comparison to make progress! With a face full of relief, Wu Ming pulled out a pistol from his waist and handed it to him, "The young master holds it, and there are three bullets in it."
Originally, the magazine was full, but Wu Ming fired a few shots in the school, killing Lu Shaopao's girl. Of course, it was also because that girl suddenly turned into a zombie and wanted to eat Young Master Lu. Later, I found that the zombies were clumsy, and they seemed to be fine everywhere except for headshots. Wu Ming immediately decided to save his bullets and fight his way out with a military dagger.
"Give me back just three bullets? Nothing else?" Lu Yun looked very disgusted.
"Next!" He Jin pulled out a dagger from his waist and threw it at Lu Yun. He acts cautiously and always carries a variety of weapons with him when he goes out, just in case.
Lu Yun is just a young master who is not working hard. He moved a beat slower, missed the dagger, and fell heavily to the ground. The dull "clang" sound echoed in the unfinished building.
He Jin's ear twitched, took out another dagger and hit the ground, listened carefully to the knocking sound, and said after a while, "The drainage pipes downstairs have been laid."
Wu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly said, "We can go to the military compound through the drainage pipe!"
Lu Yun, Wang Tao looked at He Jin expectantly, only Lu Chi Gong Lixin looked confused.
He Jin bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "This method is not feasible. The underground pipeline is hundreds of times more complicated than the ground transportation, like a maze. We are now separated from the military compound by a large distance. If we go down rashly, we will come out again. We don’t know where to go, and it will be dangerous if we go further and further. Unless we have a map of the whole city’s pipelines, we can’t go there.”
He Jin's words were like pouring cold water on the head, extinguishing the enthusiasm of Wu Ming, Lu Yun, and Wang Tao. Only Gong Lixin remained calm.
Wang Tao drooped his shoulders weakly, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed tirelessly.
"How is it? Can I make a call?" Lu Yun asked expectantly. Since the solar eclipse began, the mobile phone signal has not been connected, and he has called no less than a hundred times along the way.
"No." Wang Tao put the phone back into his pocket and buried his head between his knees to hide his red eyes. How he wished he could listen to his parents' voices at this moment to make sure they were safe.
Lu Yun's expression was a little depressed when he heard the words, but he still took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it desperately, with a little luck in his heart.
When Gong Lixin went out, he didn't bring anything except a key to the laboratory. Seeing Wang Tao take out his mobile phone, he wanted to borrow it to use it, but seeing that the mobile phone had no signal, he kept silent.
He Jin and Wu Ming couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to check, and everyone was silent for a while. Gong Lixin sat quietly, not disturbing them. After a while, the tips of his ears twitched, and he said softly, "Two people are running towards us, and they will arrive within five minutes."
He Jin was aware of Gong Lixin's hearing ability, so he quickly drew out his dagger with a vigilant expression. The others immediately cheered up and followed Gong Lixin and He Jin to the outside to check the situation.
