However, Sinan did not fall asleep.
He tried to make the spirit into a state of complete nothingness, like a swimming fish in the deep sea, slowly diving into meditation, capturing fragmented, cotton wool-like fragments from the depths of his memory.
"... born weak and must be guarded... "
"Run, run!"
"The humiliation suffered today will surely be repaid in the future!..."
"Tell you sirs to come out," a silhouette in the wind stood in front of the high iron gate and said indifferently, "I have something to talk to him about."
The next moment, a man who could not see his face came towards him, and before he could speak, he was punched so hard that his mouth and nose bleed, and he fell backwards!
Running, cursing, and loud voices, I don't know how many soldiers stopped him, but to no avail. Immediately, the picture changed, and a faint light leaked from the narrow window of the confinement room, creating a cold light and shadow for the cement stone platform. There was a rush of running outside the door, and the crisp sound of the key slamming.
He stood up and the door opened.
"The inside, the inside broke out, the laboratory can't be closed... The cordon has collapsed, the car is waiting for you outside, come with me..."
He took a titanium alloy freezer and walked out of the confinement room. The faint light at the end of the corridor turned into stars, and the long journey under his feet was a journey that would never end.
never end...
The armored vehicle braked suddenly, and Sinan's body bounced forward and woke up.
In an instant, he came face to face with the dense zombies in front of the car window, only to hear the driver roar: "Arrived at the destination! Quickly clean up and break through! The people inside are ready to respond!"
The car-mounted machine gun above his head erupted with scorching flames. Zhou Rong took off his jacket and put on a black vest. The heat-insulating gloves were terribly scalded by the barrel of the gun, and he took turns shooting the zombies at the intersection.
However, there are too many zombies crowded on the commercial street in the city center. After sweeping wave after wave, there is a sea of death as far as the eye can see. All the team members climbed on the roof of the car for fire support, but they could only barely clear a few meters of open space, so that The armored vehicle moved slowly in the sea of corpses.
This is a very dangerous driving speed comparable to the morning rush hour. The body was almost overturned by endless zombies several times. Several team members shouted, and the zombies almost grabbed their ankles and dragged them out of the car.
Zhou Rong roared in the intercom headset: "Yingjie comes up with fire support! I'll start!"
The driver opened the roof window and jumped onto the roof. Zhou Rong took the opportunity to slide off the driver's seat and slammed the accelerator to death!
With a bang, the armored vehicle jumped forward for dozens of meters, and swept countless living dead into the bottom of the vehicle. At this time, I only heard the sound of Kara, and the side window of the driver's seat was shattered!
"Ow—" Several pairs of dry hands reached into the car window at the same time and grabbed Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong turned to avoid, Sinan cooperated in time, and shot back the zombies from his side: "Where is the refuge?"
"under!"
"where?!"
Zhou Rongteng didn't make a move, and raised his chin forward.
A few hundred meters away, a shopping mall building stands at the end of the central street, and the opening reception is a huge number of big characters fluttering in the air.
Sinan smashed the zombie's head with one shot, and at the same time dodged back, the stench of gray-black brains burst out and splashed Zhou Rong's body, only to hear him yell: "Fuck me!"
Sinan: "Who the fuck?"
Zhou Rong's left hand is a zombie vying to climb the window, and his right hand is Sinan, who is armed with a live ammunition. After weighing it again and again, he scolded: "... a broken shopping mall, what a good discount, no wonder there are so many people outside! Fuck his ancestors!"
At this time, the radio on the top of the head squeaked, and it was very clear in the cab where the shells were jumping. A sharp female voice came out: "0011 call the command! Call the command!! Do you need support? Repeat, no need help?!"
"I want it, I want it!" Zhou Rong pressed down on Sinan, stepped on the brake, turned on the intercom on the roof, and almost used all his strength to let out a deafening roar: "All down! Block the roof, immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, the top of the shopping mall building in the distance suddenly flashed.
The next moment, the white light rushed into the air, overwhelming the sky, and the fire and strong light swept the earth in an instant!
In the explosion, the armored vehicle was like a kite with a broken string. It rushed out more than ten meters in an instant, the windows were all shattered, and everyone let out an inaudible roar in the terrible flip.
I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a long century, Sinan Ju panted to regain consciousness, vaguely felt that something was wrong, and struggled to hold up his upper body to take a look.
In front of the nose is Zhou Rong's camouflage pants... crotch.
Zhou Rong rested his forehead in one hand, his mouth twitched, his voice trembling with severe pain:
"If Lao Tzu is abolished, you must not try to run away..."
All the team members groaned and stood up, only to see outside the car window, the single-person rocket launcher swept away the zombies in more than half of the block, and the sight was horrific. Thick smoke enveloped the once prosperous commercial street.
Zilazila... The female voice appeared coughing: "Hello everyone, are you still alive? Repeat, are there still people alive?"
Zhou Rong asked: "Chuncao, let's have a discussion. Let's discuss before firing the gun next time? Do you know that Brother Rong almost lost his son and grandson just now?"
Chuncao said, "You don't have to use it anyway, so just cut it."
Sinan glanced at Zhou Rong with strange eyes.
"What do you want to say?" Zhou Rong was extremely sensitive to any stimulus at this moment.
"… nothing."
I didn't expect that the little white face with the surname Yan was the one above.
·
Thanks to the rocket launcher, the damaged armored vehicle finally stumbled through the block and arrived at the final destination - the refuge.
It is the underground warehouse of this shopping mall. It used to be an air-raid shelter in the middle of the last century. It has an excellent military industrial building foundation and resisted several rounds of the army of the living dead when the infection broke out.
There are thousands of people hiding in this underground shelter. Most of them are shopping mall customers and employees. There are men, women and children. Depressed weeping echoes everywhere.
Zhou Rong finally caught up with his teammates and said enthusiastically, "Cao'er!"
Chuncao: "Captain!"
Sinan flashed abruptly, Chuncao ran close to his side, and the two hugged and spun around. Zhou Rong effortlessly picked up the girl who was just above his shoulders and walked around twice. If this is a cartoon, there must be something at this moment. The lasagna tears spread 360° in all directions.
"There are no more bullets," Chuncao's eyes were full of longing tears: "Last night, I took Dading, Xiangzi and the others out to clean the corridor. All the bullets were fired. The one on the roof just emptied our last rocket launcher... It's delicious. It's enough, I asked the property's people to block the doors and windows of the warehouse, I'm afraid that the zombies will rush in again, and I can't go up and fight..."
Zhou Rong patted her head and said lovingly, "Call me Dad."
Chuncao immediately said, "Dad."
Zhou Rong withdrew two bullets from the barrel, grabbed the palm of his cheap girl and spread it out, put down both bullets first, and took back another after thinking about it.
"The last two of the team." Zhou Rong said with a smile, "Save yourself."
Chuncao immediately severed the father-daughter relationship and left with a cold expression on his face.
At the beginning of the chaos, a total of two or three thousand people fled to this shelter, but they were already mixed with infected people. After entering the confined space, they turned into zombies and quickly infected most of the surviving people.
Fortunately, several members of Zhou Rong's team got in touch with the local government and escorted the medical team to the place in time. After several cleanings, there were only more than 1,000 living people left, all of which have been preliminarily tested to determine that there are no potential infected people.
Chuncao took a few teammates and dragged the killed zombies out to burn them, and cleaned up the zombies wandering in the mall and in the security corridors.
"Cough cough," Zhou Rong stepped on the milk crate, almost hit the ceiling light, and quickly covered his head.
The crowd all over the place looked at it blankly, and the sobbing of women and children could be heard from time to time, but it quickly subsided.
"Are you here to save us?" someone asked boldly.
"I'm the captain of the 6th Squadron of the Secrecy Brigade of the 118th Unit of the B Military Region." Zhou Rong took out the official letter that was already a little wrinkled, and solemnly showed it to the crowd. Under the lights of the underground warehouse, the bright red official seal was particularly conspicuous.
As if gaining some confidence from that red color, the crowd got a little excited.
"The superiors sent me here with a positioning device to confirm the safety of the people's lives and ensure the social order during the outbreak of the epidemic. At the same time, I sent a positioning signal to the superior units. The government will soon organize forces to rescue everyone."
"During this period, please stay calm, don't panic, don't believe in rumors, work and rest on time and measure your body temperature consciously and regularly..."
"What's going on outside, are those monsters zombies?" a man in the front row asked sharply.
Zhou Rong said: "It's just some kind of mutated rabies virus, please don't believe in rumors, the next one."
"We, ours," a girl cried and asked, "what about our family?"
"Yeah, my child is still at school..."
"My wife she..."
"My mother is in her eighties!..."
Under the light, Zhou Rong's side cheeks were slightly tensed, giving a cold steel-like stern look.
But then he laughed. Although it was only a short arc, it was very calm and convincing, and his tone was adjusted to a very stable state: "The army will not give up any citizens, please rest assured."
The signs of panic subsided a little, people had no choice but to believe, and more questions emerged: "When will the rescue come?"
"Where will we be sent?"
"When will the plague pass, will the government send us back?"
…
Sinan leaned against the shelf, staring at Zhou Rong who was patiently answering questions one by one, with an unnoticeable line between his brows.
Not far behind him, Chuncao hooked Yan Hao's shoulders, crookedly, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you looking over there all the time? That man is dirty, and he is still a Beta."
"I do not have."
"Ah—you just have."
Yan Hao smiled and said: "Tomorrow the helicopter will come to pick up the crowd, and we will..."
Before he finished speaking, Sinan turned around and passed the two of them, walking towards the back door of the warehouse.
"Si Nan!" Yan Hao followed a few steps and asked, "It's not safe outside, where are you going?"
Sinan replied politely, "Take a shower."
In the simple bathroom of the warehouse employee's rest room, hot water rushed down, and the white steam quickly evaporated, blurring the dirty ventilation windows.
Si Nan stood under the nozzle with his eyes closed, feeling that the water flow took away the solidified dust, sand and blood, and his body gradually recovered smoothness.
He didn't even know how long it had been since he took a bath. Right now, he felt that every pore was stretched out, and the muscles and bones released the last trace of soreness. If the skin could make sounds automatically, it should be singing praises.
After a while, he turned off the water, wiped his body hastily, and wiped the water vapor on the mirror surface with his hands, and finally a face that was not covered by sand and dust was reflected in front of him.
In most Asian-European hybrids, Asian genes can always be overwhelming, and so is Sinan. But if you look closely, you can still see his mother's thrilling beauty through the ages from the brows, the corners of the eyes and the contours of the side cheeks.
It's just that the woman's charming weakness was gone in him, replaced by a certain kind of hardness and determination, as if it had been rough and polished by fate for many years.
Sinan bent down and put on his trousers, picked up his shirt, and was about to put it on his body when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the mirror and stopped.
"… "
He turned around almost inch by inch, stared at his right back shoulder, and suddenly understood why he was unconscious before—
Behind the smooth shoulder blades, there was a bite mark the size of a palm, and the flesh was opened, it had dried up, and a shocking purple black appeared.
- That's the teeth marks of zombies.
"Brother Rong just sent the positioning signal, tomorrow afternoon the airship will pick up these survivors to the B military area..." Chuncao hooked Yan Hao's neck in the corridor, his voice suddenly stopped, and he looked behind him.
Yan Hao asked casually, "What's wrong with you?" Looking back, he was stunned.
A young man pushed the door out of the bathroom, his hair was particularly jet black after being wet, and the small half of his face exposed sideways was stained with water vapor, showing a cold white without the slightest blood.
He turned around and saw Yan Hao. He didn't speak or move for a few seconds. There seemed to be a pair of bright amber hidden in the depths of his pupils. After a while, he smiled briefly, removed the carbine from his shoulder, and threw it back.
Yan Hao caught it subconsciously, only to hear him say, "Give it back to you."
"Sinan..." Yan Hao subconsciously blocked, but saw Sinan turn around and walk towards the warehouse.
His body proportions are very good, the hem of his shirt is casually tucked into the back waist, and the waist of his trousers hangs on his crotch. When walking, he can see that his skills are sharp and neat. Chuncao poked Yan Hao's arm, covered half of his mouth and asked in a low voice, "...Do you still look at your face when you save people?"
Zhou Rong finally got out of the crowd. After dealing with the mall manager who was holding his hand, snot and tears, he looked up and saw Sinan standing in the shadow behind the door, with one hand in his trouser pocket, staring at himself silently. .
Zhou Rong looked at him for a moment, then rubbed his chin maliciously: "What are you doing, come for an appointment?"
"… "
"The working hours are not scheduled. After returning to the base, you can consider... What are you doing?"
Sinan unbuttoned the third button, pulled open the collar slightly, motioned him to look at the back shoulder, and a clear corner of the zombie's teeth marks were revealed in the shadows.
"…I might be infected," he croaked.
Zhou Rong's face was ashen, and he stood there for a long time.
