"Out there, God. He's not dead!"
Zogg and Tony are hiding in a small abandoned shop across from Queen Mary Hospital.
It was getting closer to evening, the sun was not so strong, but it still shone with a dazzling golden light. In this golden light, Zero's figure appeared at the gate of the hospital building. His left shoulder drooped, and he appeared to be seriously injured. The right leg was tied tightly with cloth strips torn from the clothes, but there was still blood mixed in, and the situation was not optimistic.
And Zero's face was covered with the blood of the butcher. These dark red and thick blood cannot be removed with just a few random wipes. He can't wait to plunge into the water now, so that he can have a good bath. The blood and stench on his body made Zero feel very uncomfortable.
Walking out of the door of the building, he saw Tony from Zuoge. The two came out of the abandoned small shop, Zuoge gave Ling a thumbs up, Ling was slightly taken aback, and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, he saw the expressions of Zuo Ge and the others change.
"careful!"
Zuo Ge yelled, and Tony was hastily raising the machine gun in his hand. Their eyes fell on Ling's head, and when Ling looked up, he saw a living corpse crawling out of the window on the second floor, jumping down from the shadows and rushing towards him.
Zero knew that the high-intensity battle with the butcher made his body quite exhausted, so that his perception of danger plummeted, so he let the living corpse touch the top of his head without knowing it.
The left half of his body was already numb from the pain, and although he was holding the revolver in his right hand, it was too late to raise the gun and shoot again.
However, at the moment when the living corpse was about to fall, as if hit by an invisible object, the living corpse suddenly slammed into the wall, leaving a pool of blood on the gray-brown wall before falling to the ground. There was a big hole in the chest of the living corpse, and at this moment, the unique sound of sniper equipment came from a distance.
It's Allen!
The frizzy young man appeared in Zero's mind. He once thought that a person with that personality was not suitable to be a sniper. A qualified sniper should be calm and cautious. Obviously, Allen's character runs counter to it. Even now, Zero didn't think he would be a good sniper, but he was quite grateful that he fired a shot at a critical moment.
Seeing that the living corpse was shot to death, Zuo Ge and the others breathed a sigh of relief. The captain raised his hand as a signal, which meant to retreat. Judging from Allen's shooting range, he should be 800 meters away now, but Zuo Ge believes that he will clearly see this signal.
Tony had already run forward, grabbed Zero, and shared his weight for him. At the same time, Tony was slightly surprised that Zero's body was so hot right now.
Zero asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's Holt?"
Tony's face darkened, and he shook his head and said, "He's dead. When we passed the gate, we found two living corpses eating his corpse."
Zero had no expression on his face. In fact, when he left the room where he met Mary, he thought that Holt might be in danger. But at that time, if he turned back to rescue the blacks, it would be too late to rescue Zuoge and others. So even though he knew that Holt was in danger, he still chose Zuoge and the others. After all, it was three lives and some important medicines.
Two phases have the lesser harm, Zero can only abandon the blacks, and choose Zuo Ge and the others.
He is not God, and he cannot take care of everyone. On the battlefield, death is nothing more than a common thing. Therefore, Zero didn't take the death of the black man too seriously.
Zuoge also came up, patted Ling on the shoulder and said, "It's thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, none of us would be able to escape."
Zero nodded, suddenly his face changed. There was an unnatural flush on his slashed face, and then he fainted so straight that he didn't even have time to say a word.
"what happened?"
Zuoge hurriedly helped Tony to support him, only to realize that Zero's body temperature was frighteningly high. The two quickly carried Ling to a shadow, Tony was in charge of guarding, and Zuo Ge picked Ling's shirt off. After taking a look, Zuoge shook his hand slightly. Zero's body became red and hot like a boiled shrimp. And the muscles on his body trembled even slightly, as if there were thousands of bugs drilling under the skin, it was unbelievably weird.
"Head, what's wrong with him?" Tony called.
Zuoge took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it looks like he was infected by a virus, and his body is mutating."
Tony was taken aback and said, "Could it be that he was bitten by a living corpse?"
The teeth of the living corpse were as sharp as animal teeth after mutation. And the two canine teeth at the front are like poisonous snakes hiding poison sacs inside. Sometimes, when a living corpse bites a person, it will subconsciously inject the biochemical virus in the poison sac into the prey. If the people bitten by the living corpses are not eaten up, they will soon mutate into living corpses and join their ranks.
After being injected with the virus by a living corpse, the incubation period depends on the individual's physical fitness. If it is a supernatural being, it can even use its own power to force the virus out of the body. As for ordinary people, their bodies will mutate within two days or ten minutes. Among the mutated reactions, one of them is to feel hot all over like zero. But Zuo Ge and the others had never heard of it. During the process of mutation, they would also have symptoms of redness all over their bodies, which was unheard of.
Zuo Ge quickly checked Zero's neck, and found nothing resembling tooth marks on his body, which meant that he was not attacked by a living corpse. As a result, his current physical condition is even more difficult to explain.
However, the symptoms of redness and fever came and went quickly, but within a minute or two, the redness on Zero's body subsided completely, and his body temperature returned to normal. It's just that the person is still unconscious, Tony stepped forward, looked at Zuoge, but suddenly raised his gun. The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Zero, and Tony's face was a little hesitant, as if hesitating for something.
"Put down the gun." Zuo Ge said lightly.
Tony said, "Boss, he might be infected, we... ."
"Don't make me say it again, you fucking put the gun down!" Zuoge yelled, roughly pushed Tony away, and then said in a deep voice, "We owe him life, buddy. If he really turns into a monster , I will kill him myself. But not now, I will not allow you to shoot until it is determined that he has any dangerous factors, understand?"
"Understood, head." Tony lowered his head and said.
Zuoge walked back to Zero, and said, "Help me lift him now, we will leave this ghost city immediately."
Tony would naturally not object to this proposal. His best friend Karl has been sleeping forever in the basement of the hospital. Soon, Karl's flesh and blood will be eaten up by the living corpses, leaving only the skeleton to prove that he once existed. What a sad thing, although in this turbulent age, death is happening every day, and crying has become a luxury. If you have that extra energy, it is better to use it in struggling to survive, and it will allow you to live a few more years.
So even though Tony was sad, he didn't show it on his face. He silently came to Zuoge's side, set up Zero with the captain, and dragged him out of the town, who was unconscious.
The accident happened when they turned the corner of a one-person street.
A figure suddenly rushed out from the abandoned laundry nearby, stabbing Tony with a rusty sharp knife in his hand.
The incident happened suddenly, Tony had to raise his hand to meet the sharp knife, and his arm was immediately stabbed by the knife. He let go of Zero with a roar, raised his machine gun and fired at the figure in bursts.
The man's chest was red immediately, he kept backing away, and finally fell into the space of the laundry, without a sound.
Cursing, Tony pulled the knife out of his hand, which was covered with rust and maybe some virus. If Tony is not dealt with in time, his life may be in danger. But they don't even have the simplest tourniquet on their bodies, and only the base can provide suitable medical conditions. Tony had no choice but to learn from zero, taking off the lining of the protective clothing, tearing off a strip of cloth and binding it on his arm to stop the blood from flowing too fast.
However, their troubles didn't stop there, as figures emerged from the shadows of the street. They were dressed in rags and had a fierce look in their eyes. But the body has not changed at all, and the eyes are also normal pupils, but they are not humanoid monsters like living corpses.
"Mob?" Zuo Ge raised the machine gun.
A mob means trouble, and a lot of trouble. Although these people are not as bloodthirsty and easy to kill as the living corpses, they are like wild dogs wandering in the wilderness, and their ruthlessness may not be inferior to the living corpses.
"Boss, it seems to be the group we met on the road." Tony whispered.
Zuoge nodded, because the mob walking in front was the man who shot and attacked them on the side of the road.
A bearded man with a pistol in his hand. He was obviously the leader of the group. The man made a gesture, and a dozen men with machetes and iron bars in their hands immediately dispersed and surrounded him.
The distance between the two parties was only about five to ten meters. This distance was only enough for Zuo Ge and Tony to kill a few mobs, but not to wipe them all out.
"What are you going to do?" Zuoge asked in a deep voice, hoping that these human-shaped beasts could understand human speech.
The leader of the mob pointed his pistol at Zuo Ge, and then said in a vague tone: "Car... keys!"
Zuo Ge suddenly felt regretful, maybe when he encountered this group of mobs, he had to wipe them all out. But at that time, he didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that now he would trouble himself to find him. Sure enough, the mob came for the chariot, but the key was not in the car, so they couldn't drive away, so they went into the city to search for them. But what you know is what you know, but Zuoge can't change the following facts at all.
Of course they couldn't give them the keys, not to mention that they didn't have a car, three hundred kilometers was enough for Zuoge and the others to walk for a day or two. Besides, with the keys, these mobs will not let them go. The clothes, firearms and drinking water of Zuoge and the others are all extremely precious supplies. This can be seen from the greedy eyes of the mob, and there is no kindness in the wilderness.
Now Zuoge only hoped that Alan didn't go far, and then shot the leader. Without a leader, this group of mobs will have no leader, and it will be much easier to fight or escape.
Perhaps the gods heard Zuoge's voice, the leader of the mob who was standing upright one moment, bounced up the next moment, with blood blooming on his chest. Then, the sound of a sniper rifle came from afar.
This change was beyond everyone's expectation, and the mob was stunned. Zuoge secretly praised Alan in his heart, but threw Zero on the ground and shouted: "Kill them!"
The machine gun in Zuoge's hand roared.
