"God of mercy, you welcome new souls into eternity, light, and joy, and are listed in the fellowship of the saints in heaven; when the Lord Jesus comes the second time, those who have died in Christ, must first rise from the grave and have eternal life."
"Amen."
Father God kissed the silver cross, and the light from the sky filtered through the high stained glass windows of the church and projected on the black lacquered pine coffin. A white woman covered in black veil squatted down, covered her mouth with a cold palm, barely stopped sobbing, and hugged the little boy beside her.
"… Mother?"
"Um?"
"Does God love the world?"
"God..." The woman took a deep breath with trembling, and said hoarsely: "God loves all beings, so he gave his only begotten Son, so that all those who believe in him will not perish, but gain eternal life..."
"Then why are we deprived of our freedom, plundered and imprisoned?"
"… "
"Is the world born equal?"
The door behind the woman was slammed open, and countless figures rushed into the church in the backlight, shouting and screaming. The woman only had time to take off the pendant from her neck and shove it into the little boy's hand, and was immediately grabbed by several heavily armed soldiers and forcibly dragged back.
"Run, run!" The struggling woman shouted through the chaos: "Run, get out of here!"
"Don't look back, don't give up!"
"Mom loves you!..."
The church collapsed with a loud bang, the flames turned black and white, and rushed into the cloudy sky. The screams and weeping turned into nothingness, and the wind lifted the ashes and scattered them over the vast and desolate land.
The little boy stood and ran on the field, with soldiers and hounds in hot pursuit behind him. A sea of lights gradually flashed ahead, a huge city appeared under the cliff, and the boy jumped amidst the screams of the chasing soldiers!
The wind whistled past his ears, raising the pendant on his chest upwards.
The little boy closed his eyes as he fell rapidly, and at the last moment, what was reflected in those black pupils was the long, lonely, cold, never-ending night.
"The dead shall be raised to eternal life—"
He said in his heart:
"Amen."
·
In 2019, T City.
"… what… !"
In the dark, the young man rolled over and sat up. The next moment, the pain rushed through every nerve like an electric current. The dizziness caused by the pain made him retching immediately.
However, the stomach that had not eaten for a day could not vomit anything, and nothing happened except the sharp wringing of the internal organs. After a long while, he finally calmed down after gasping for breath, his eyes barely focused, but as far as he could see was a small and dark prison cell, and a faint light came from outside the iron fence.
… what is this place, prison
How am I here
He tried to search for any useful information from his chaotic mind, but he couldn't even remember his own name, and a little thought gave him an unbearable headache. Just as he was trying to hold the low bed to the ground, suddenly footsteps and voices came from outside the cell door.
"… I searched the whole city for three days and didn't find a few live ones. Is it possible that the smell of Omega is particularly easy to attract zombies... "
"It is said that Alpha is also, only the useless Beta is relatively safe."
"Forget it, these Omegas are enough to cross each other..."
The iron lock rattled, followed by the sharp friction of the cell door being opened. The two soldiers walked into the cell. With the dim light on the aisle, they could vaguely see a thin figure lying on the bed, lifeless, not even his chest heaving.
"Won't you die?"
A finger wearing a half-finger glove stretched out to the end of his nose, and then he trained to feel the pulse of his neck.
"In a coma," the soldier said, "It was like this when I found it, it's rare to look good."
The companion laughed: "Come on, can you see the mud and gray on this face?"
"Eighteen layers thick, you can still see it clearly."
"You're so thirsty!"
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry and thirst is useless, anyway, it can't be cheap for you and me..."
The young man's eyes were tightly closed, like an unconscious corpse. He felt that he was being picked up and walked out of the cell.
During the turbulent movement, he raised his eyelids slightly. Due to the narrow field of vision, he could only see that the person holding him was wearing a Kevlar protective suit, and his arm muscles were hard and strong; the companion behind him was also dressed in the same way, tall and strong with feet Labor boots, with black holsters pinned to the thighs.
Two Alphas.
The shadow of the corner of the stone corridor shrouded the young man's eyelids in darkness, and he silently closed his eyes. Immediately, the two soldiers entered the elevator, ascended and paused, and the face was bright and noisy.
Someone was running beside him and shouting: "Organize the baggage! Prepare to retreat! The base helicopter is on standby on the roof!"
"The city has fallen, there's no time left!"
"Hurry up and go!"
The empty-handed companion behind the soldier left in response, the young man's pupils narrowed slightly, it was now.
"Take the Omega to the helicopter, don't let them run away, and transport it back to the base..."
Just as the soldier was about to answer yes, he suddenly felt that the young Omega in his arms seemed to lean down, leaning toward the ground from his arms—
His first reaction was to bow to fish, but at this moment, the young man who was in a severe coma like a corpse reached out and touched the gun holster on his back, hooked his hand to draw the gun, and landed on one knee!
This change was too sudden, the soldier's roar had not yet been released, and the young man's long legs swept across in the same second, turning him over like lightning!
boom!
"what happened?"
"stop!"
Surrounded by exclamations all around, I saw the young man grabbing the Alpha soldier's hair and making him hit the ground hard, and then he picked up the soldier with blood on his face, the muzzle of the gun pressed against his temple, and blocked in front of him: "... retreat... "
He wanted to say stand back and don't move, but the prolonged coma made his throat hoarse, and after a few seconds he gasped and shouted sharply, "Stop! Put down your weapons!"
All the approaching soldiers in the hall changed color and stopped at the same time, forming a fan-shaped encirclement, and the scene was tense.
"Lieutenant Colonel, there is an emergency—"
Tang Hao hung up the phone and raised his head: "What?"
"There is an Omega resisting," the adjutant pointed to the hall not far away, his face still frightened: "The people who kidnapped us still want to escape!"
The young man's uncontrollable panting was mixed with the trembling breathing of the Alpha soldier. The soldier felt the cold muzzle on his temple and swallowed several mouthfuls of bloody spit, hoarsely said, "Put... let go of me, you run away. Can't fall... ah!"
The young man's iron pincer-like hand squeezed deeply into his throat: "—Shut up."
This is the public area of the prison, in the shape of a rotunda, but at the moment it is full of heavily armed soldiers. The young man can roughly estimate that there are at least hundreds of them out of the corner of his eyes. The ground outside the encirclement was full of first aid facilities and stretchers covered with white cloths. It was hard to see how many corpses there were. The air was filled with the indescribable smell of gunpowder, coke, blood and carrion.
What is this, riot
war
Who are you and why are you here
The further exit of the hall was locked by a solid iron curtain door. The gate was a small office. A tall man in a camouflage uniform, with a dark complexion, pushed the door open and strode out.
The young man stepped back, his vigilant gaze fixed on his face, until he stepped forward from the crowd, stood a few steps away, raised his hand and pulled out the pistol at his waist, revealing the middle of his coat in action. School epaulettes.
"Let go of my people." Tang Hao looked at the young Omega who had retreated to the corner not far away. Although he was born in the special forces, he was strong and sturdy, but his voice that was obviously adjusted when he spoke would not give the other party too much. A sense of urgency: "—we rescued you, the city has fallen, and you can't escape."
The young man closed his eyes under his gaze, then opened them again: "Who are you?"
Tang Hao didn't answer his question directly: "Our mission is to search and protect Omegas, which are precious strategic materials, until you are safely escorted back to the base. You will not be in any danger, the base is ready to take over you, soon will be moved to the safe zone…”
There is no safe zone anymore, a subconscious voice said to him.
Not only the city, but the entire country and the world fell.
The young man was stunned, and he didn't understand where the sad cognition came from.
"Let go of your hostage and pretend nothing happened. If my soldiers have been rude to you, I can apologize to you for them..."
"No... No." Tang Hao's voice was interrupted by the young man, he saw his back against the wall, panting and shaking his head: "Put down the gun and let me go, I must... now... "
Tang Hao was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed.
I just heard the mourning from the inside of the prison building, but it actually sounded from not far away, and then the rubbing sound of countless footsteps dragging from far to near, and the rolling iron door in the distance made the sound of being slapped constantly!
The ash and rubble rustled down the wall, everyone's expressions changed dramatically, and the adjutant roared: "Lieutenant Colonel! The gate downstairs is lost, and the zombies are chasing it!"
The young man shouted, "Put down the gun!"
"Lieutenant Colonel!"
"Let me go!"
Tang Hao turned his head, raised his hand and shot several times!
The electric shock needle bullets flashing blue light almost poured over the hostage Alpha soldiers and the young man. The severe pain caused by the electric shock caused the young man to slam into his knees, and immediately fell down, and even lost consciousness for several seconds.
His chest suddenly weighed down, as if being pressed down by a huge boulder. It was Tang Hao who stepped forward and pressed one knee against his chest. The young man coughed and spat out blood. The next second he raised his hand, but Tang Hao easily grabbed his wrist and pressed it to the ground. The electric current made his twitching muscles unable to tighten.
"..." Tang Hao cursed silently, his expression a little embarrassed - not because of the fighting, but because of the blood spurting from the Omega under him.
Even if his face is covered with dust, it cannot cover the handsome and clear facial features of this young man. His outline is not as soft as ordinary Omegas, but more profound and distinct. His brows and eyes are straight, the bridge of his nose is straight, and he has a very perfect and neat arc from the chin to the neck.
The blood rich in pheromones splattered on the cuffs of Tang Hao's field suit, as if a whip was fiercely on the burning nerve endings of the Alpha, causing the unspeakable stimulation to rise rapidly from the instinct.
"The end of the world will put Omega in hell. If you leave here now, the living people outside will be more terrifying than zombies. Especially like you," Tang Hao rubbed his thumb on the young man's side face, the bare skin under the dust Shockingly white.
"You can't even survive tonight, maybe being eaten alive by a bunch of zombies would be the most merciful way to die."
"Someone take him away! Retreat at full speed!" As if to hide his instinctive reaction, Tang Hao suddenly got up and walked out.
At this moment, he saw that the expression of the soldier on the other side changed at the same time, and before he had time to react, he felt a strong force coming from his ankle, and the next second pulled him and fell down on his head—
"Fuck!"
Tang Hao almost got a concussion after being thrown out, and the long-cherished rudeness finally came out.
He couldn't believe that the electric shock had failed on this Omega in just a few seconds, but then out of the corner of his eyes he caught a glimpse of the young man picking up the gun and leaning over to his ear, the extremely hoarse voice almost Sticking directly to his auricle: "I like old age and death."
The young man took out the magazine from Tang Hao's trousers pocket, got up quickly, pointed his gun back and forth at the soldiers in the encirclement, and at the same time quickly retreated to the window.
Tang Hao seemed to realize something suddenly, and turned around and roared, "No—"
However it was too late.
In front of everyone's eyes, the young man slammed into the glass window and jumped down in the sky.
- This is the third floor!
Tang Hao rushed to the window like an arrow, and the soldiers swarmed behind him. Time seemed to be infinitely stretched to the point of freezing, and the young man's thin body in mid-air turned and arched inch by inch, like a bowstring that was extremely tight, and his black hair flew backwards.
boom!
Even though it was so far away, the dull sound of the landing seemed to hit Tang Hao's ear.
The young man bowed and fell to the ground, rolling along the way, as precise and perfect as a tactical textbook, getting up and kneeling and raising his gun with both hands!
Does this man really have something to do with it? !
Tang Hao's eyes finally showed a puzzlement that could not be concealed, and he only heard his subordinates urgently ask: "Lieutenant Colonel, do you want to chase?"
Tang Hao reached out to stop them - it was too late.
Following his gaze, I saw a dozen zombies who had not entered the prison building in the parking lot downstairs.
The young man did not seem to have expected this situation, and was stunned when facing the living dead. At the same moment, Tang Hao grabbed the gun of his soldiers, pulled the trigger without even looking, and the zombie who was only a few steps away from the young man was shot in the brow.
boom-
The living dead fell to the ground in response, their bodies already covered with corpses stiffened, and the dark purple viscous blood slowly flowed on the dirty ground, winding towards the sewer wells not far away that had been blocked with stinky water for many days.
While the other living dead were unaware, they just wailed and staggered over.
"If you get bitten, you will be infected!" Tang Hao's roar came from a height: "It must be the head!!"
Before he finished speaking, the young man seemed to be awakened from some kind of confused and confused dream, and suddenly moved—
Tang Hao couldn't see how he lifted his foot. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out like a whirlwind. When he passed by the second zombie, the other party didn't even have time to reach out to stop him, and he saw the afterimage swept past. Soar up.
The young man stepped on the shoulder of the third zombie—a felon who escaped from prison when the zombie tide broke out, his face had been torn in half, and broken sharp teeth were faintly visible in the black and red carrion—and then he shot a few times. , Among the swarming living dead, the first few zombies who tried their best to reach out to him exploded.
However, more living dead rushed to squeeze in. Tang Hao could see clearly from the window sill on the third floor, and even the zombies wandering on the street came in groups!
- He doesn't have enough bullets!
Without the slightest hesitation or fear, the young man jumped straight away. He stepped on the heads and shoulders of almost all the zombies. Every step was as fast as lightning and extremely thrilling. In a few seconds, he crossed the group of zombies with branches like trees, knelt down on one knee, and landed in the car outside the prison gate. sidewalk.
Tang Hao suddenly understood what he was going to do, and raised his eyebrows.
As he expected, the young man didn't even pause, got up and rushed towards the car closest to him like a cannonball.
It was an ordinary Toyota Camry. The front and rear doors were fully open, and the driver had turned into a blood-stained middle-aged male corpse. He was screaming constantly under the restraint of the seat belt, and the blue-purple ten-pointers were scratching forward blankly.
The zombies turned around and chased after each other, and the heavy footsteps were getting closer. The young man never looked back again, shot the driver's head, lifted the body and threw it out of the car, twisted himself into the driver's seat, and closed the door with a snap.
The male corpse smashed into the group of corpses, tripping over the nearest living dead. In the distance, Tang Hao put down his telescope, his face slightly gloomy.
"Lieutenant Colonel, we must retreat immediately, the shutters are already..."
The solid iron curtain door at the end of the hall was crumbling under the tireless pounding of the zombies, and a large concrete block rustled down, and was finally torn apart alive with a terrifying creaking sound.
The ragged and bloody zombies poured in like a flood, the soldiers in the front row roared loudly, and the prison hall immediately turned into a bloody Shura field!
Tang Hao strode forward, his shoulders shook, and he unloaded the MP5 automatic micro-charge from his back. Stormy bullets poured out on the zombies that kept crawling into the hall, and rows of living dead were under the huge impact of the 9mm Luger bullet. Fly backwards.
"Lieutenant Colonel!"
Tang Hao retreated while fighting, without turning his head, he waved his left hand sharply from top to bottom: "Go!"
The soldiers quickly retreated from the security corridor, and at the last moment of stepping over the threshold, Tang Hao's eyes moved away from the terrifying face of the living dead a few meters away, and cast his eyes out of the floor-to-ceiling window—
On the streets full of zombies, ruins and scrapped vehicles, the silver Camry was like a sharp arrow cutting through the blood, slashing away, and quickly disappeared at the end of the burning street.
Tang Hao retracted his gaze, kicked the security corridor door with a bang, and blocked the zombies in the hall. Groups of soldiers rushed to the roof, and when he turned around, he keenly caught a trace of breath, and his Adam's apple slid violently on his sturdy neck.
—It came from the cuff of his camouflage, the smell of Omega pheromone.
"Lieutenant Colonel?" the soldier asked.
Tang Hao took two steps one step at a time, and tapped the blood on his sleeve with the muzzle:
"After returning to the base, extract the DNA and compare it with the population information registry in T city. I want to know the identity background of this Omega."
The subordinate nodded.
