stop fighting

Chapter 7

Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Ze still felt a layer of white sweat on his back when he saw it with his own eyes.

Ghost's hand on his shoulders has not been let go, and Lu Ze's peripheral vision can just see the person's side face clearly.His skin is fair, and the lines of his side face are highlighted in the surrounding darkness.I don't know why, but at that moment, Lu Ze thought of a marble sculpture that he had seen in a previous visit. It was cold, hard, and gave people a strange firmness.

At that moment, he inexplicably felt that his heartbeat slowly calmed down, he broke away from the initial panic, and he had time to observe the monsters outside.

A rough look shows that there are at least 100 living corpses in this group. Under the faint night light, their exposed skin is almost dark purple. body.A few were walking along the road, close to the cafe where Lu Ze and the others were hiding. Through the glass, one could see that their arms were covered with wounds of different lengths and shapes. The dilapidated muscle tissue was coagulated with a large black thing that looked like blood.

As for their faces, the original facial features can no longer be distinguished. The parts that should have been the eyes have become two black holes, the whites of the eyes are turned out, and there are strands of black blood all over them, and some skulls are even sunken. down.

Suddenly, a living corpse was shoved by the same kind around it, staggered, and its whole body was attached to the door of the cafe. Another living corpse next to it was tripped by it and fell on its back. The two monsters just pressed against the wooden framed glass door.

The already crumbling door hinge made an unpleasant "squeak" sound, and leaned back——

Lu Ze's pupils shrank, and he reached out to hold the gun beside him.

The tables and chairs they used to support the door shaft at the door were pushed back an inch, resisting the weight of the two monsters, and the entire wooden door frame was pressed open a gap.

A gust of night wind blew through this gap, engulfing the whole space with a bloody smell with a rotten smell.

Just as a bad premonition floated in Lu Ze's mind, the Ghost on the side had already raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.He raised his eyes slightly and saw that Ghost's jaw was tense, and his whole body was like a tight string.

The two living corpses at the door seemed to smell something, let out a suppressed roar from their throats, and pushed the wooden door frame forward.

While holding his breath, Lu Ze raised his micro-shooter and aimed at the head of the living corpse in front of him calmly.Next to him, Ghost glanced at his gun slightly, a cold light flashed between his fingers, and he had already clamped an iron piece on his index finger.

Another gust of wind passed, and the living corpse at the back of the door seemed to be attracted by something outside, turned its head and sniffed back, made a vague grunt, and took a few steps back.The living corpse in front of it seemed to be hesitant. It turned its head to look behind it, and then looked forward. It put its hands on the gap in the doorway and pushed it to the sides. It took a deep breath, as if it was trying to identify something.

After a few seconds, it seemed to give up, let go of its hand and took a step back, following the pace of its kind.

In just 3 minutes, the group of living corpses had already walked out of their sight range, and there was a vague sound in the air, indicating that the "big army" had gone far.

It wasn't until the silence returned that Ghost let go of the hand on Lu Ze's shoulder.Lu Ze sat back and asked, "These living corpses are...?"

"Hunting." Ghost's voice was simple.

"Hunting?" Lu Ze raised his eyebrows: "Are there other surviving 'prey' within the old city?"

Ghost shook his head slowly, and turned to Lu Ze: "In your place, do you call these monsters living corpses? It's a very appropriate name, but Army Lu, in our place, these things are called 'herds', which are the lowest in the food chain. Creatures at the bottom. Their brains have been completely eroded by viruses, they do not have the ability to think, do not have any emotions, in other words, do not have any elements that can be called 'human'. Therefore, their fate here can only be to be Enslaved and driven."

"Slavery...and driving?" Lu Ze's eyes narrowed slowly.

"Yes, enslavement and driving." Ghost's voice was still calm and without any waves.

"In other words, there are other survivors in the old city."

"You're right to say that, but they probably won't want to go back to your so-called survivor base." A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Ghost's mouth.

Lu Ze was silent for a few seconds, then looked at him: "What about you?"

Ghost was a little surprised: "Me?"

"Why do you stay here? What do you have to do with the survivors?"

"Survivors...heh..." Ghost sneered: "They are no longer survivors. As for me, I have nothing to do with anyone. I only stay here because I still have things to do."

Lu Ze didn't speak, but looked at the person in front of him with scrutiny.

After being silent for a while, Ghost spoke again: "Tomorrow I will ask Xiaobai to take your comrades out of the city, and I will also follow the agreement to take you to save people. As for the future, Captain Lu, I hope we will not meet again, so you can take care of yourself. The old city is far from What you see with the reconnaissance satellites, those teammates of yours who disappeared before are the best examples. Those people always try to find the truth, but they never thought about whether they could bear the cruel truth. Where does the pure truth come from? It’s just a different aspect seen through the eyes of countless people.”

Lu Ze was dumbfounded. For the first time, he felt an abyss-like coldness from the person in front of him. Without a trace of emotion, he put on a layer of hard armor for himself, leaving only a pair of eyes to see the world, and he was extraordinarily awake. Extra cruel.

"Let's rest early, Captain Lu. Xiaobai and I will keep watch at night. You have a tough battle to fight tomorrow." While speaking, Ghost has already moved away from him and sat down on the stairs. The white wolf gently rests his head on his lap .

Lu Ze looked at his back in silence for a while, leaned back against the concrete lamp post, and closed his eyes slightly.

At this moment, a few kilometers away, A hides.

Fang Luxian was squatting at the back door of the armored vehicle, his face expressionless, but his fingers were tapping on the heavy floor of the rear of the vehicle.

"Sister Xiaolu, go to sleep for a while, I'll watch over it." Zheng Guanqi poked his head out from behind, with a cautious voice.

Fang Lu shook his head: "Go and rest, I will watch tonight."

"But...you didn't rest during the day today," Zheng Guanqi's voice became softer.

"Captain and the others haven't come back yet, the radio has been disconnected, we can't rush in to find them, we can only wait here, how can you let me sleep." Fang Lulian's voice was full of anxiety.

Zheng Guanqi shrank his head and didn't say anything.

He was the most junior in the team, and it happened to be his last year at the military academy before the virus outbreak.His brother Zheng Guanxing graduated three years earlier than him and has already served in the special forces.Although the two brothers usually have little contact, Zheng Guanqi never thought about the possibility other than the special forces.It doesn't matter whether he followed in his brother's footsteps or didn't have too many ideas of his own, he never felt that there was anything wrong with this.Work hard after others, always smile in front of others.

After the outbreak of the virus, their group of graduates were thrown into the rear battlefield. He had never participated in a direct confrontation with those monsters, but he could not forget the scene when he saw his brother for the first time on the battlefield——

Zheng Guanxing has always been the mature and steady one among the two brothers, but that time, Zheng Guanqi saw fear in his eyes for the first time.

Then there was the evacuation in chaos.

The vitality of the military has been greatly weakened. At this time, no one will think about your grades in the military academy or whether you have not graduated yet.Although cruel, there is nothing they can do. They are the last barrier in front of the survivors. The entire human race has no way to retreat, let alone individuals.

When he was picked by Lu Ze, he was secretly delighted. He had heard about Lu Ze's reputation as early as when he was in school. He was the king of soldiers who led the team to win the championship for three consecutive years in the International Special Scouts Competition. Even Zheng Guanxing mentioned this There is a rare admiration in the tone of people.

During the special training at the base in γ Satellite City, he once thought that his life didn't seem to have changed much. It was still training day after day. There is a tiredness that is difficult to express in words, even numbness.

He also followed Lu Ze and the others on two missions, each time marveling at Lu Ze's dispatching and commanding.From then on, he had a vague concept in his heart: as long as Lu Ze is still there, as long as their team is still there, nothing is impossible.

But now Lu Ze's loss of contact undoubtedly broke the delicate balance in his heart, as if he suddenly didn't know what he should do and what he could do.Everything is at a standstill, only time is moving forward minute by minute.

Fang Luxian noticed Zheng Guanqi's silence, and turned his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm not targeting you, I'm just a little anxious."

Zheng Guanqi shook his head, sat down beside her, and said in a daze: "Sister Xiaolu, the captain and the others won't have any accidents, will they?"

Fang Lu paused for a moment, then shook his head: "The captain asked us to wait here for up to 3 days, and this is only the first day. The situation in the old city is inherently complicated, and they must have been delayed by something. Don't worry, with Chen Xin and Wu Zhuo here, nothing will happen to them."

After that, she patted Zheng Guanqi on the shoulder: "I'll keep watch until midnight, you go and have a rest."

Zheng Guanqi didn't argue with her any more, and got back into the carriage after saying "Yes".

Silence enveloped the surroundings again.

Fang Luxian looked up at the night sky above his head, the weather tonight was not very good, the night was covered with a thin layer of thin clouds, the moon and stars could not be seen clearly.She took a breath, and said to herself as if convincing herself: "It will definitely be fine."
