Shi Yu, whose main occupation is landlord and副業 (side job) is doorman, practically lives between feeding stray animals and collecting trash. He is almost universally known in Lanwan Residential...
Attacked from both sides, with no way to retreat.
There were walls on the left and right, and on the other side was the back door of the hospital's inpatient building, which was hung with a heavy chain. The monsters in the front and back walked in step by step, and their speed was getting faster and faster.
Shi Yu's back was against the wall of the hospital building. He ran for three or four meters, and before the monsters on both sides rushed up, he stepped onto the wall, crossed the wall with one leg, and then jumped onto the camphor tree outside the wall.
Although those monsters were extremely strong, their speed was not much different from that of ordinary people. At least they could not cross such a long path in just three or two steps.
Most importantly, they don't seem to be able to climb walls, just like the monsters in the ward can't climb through windows.
Shi Yu squatted between the branches of the camphor tree, his eyes moving from inside the wall to outside the wall.
The situation outside is even worse than that inside.
Looking down from above, the monsters with rotten faces were distributed at a density of about one per seven or eight square meters, and there were even more people who never stood up again after falling down. Because of the low temperature, people on the street wore at least three pieces of clothing on average. The wrapped torsos could still support the cloth on their bodies, but the exposed parts were basically not intact. Skin tissue and bone blood were stuck together, broken, shattered, and sticky, dragging out long or short bright traces, and the snow was stained muddy and dirty.
There were corpses everywhere.
This scene seems to remind people of this word only.
Shi Yu glanced across the street and saw many survivors standing in stores covered with tempered glass.
"Bang--"
"Bang--"
This is the sound of a monster hitting the glass.
“Crunch, crunch—”
This is the sound of a monster concentrating on gnawing at a corpse.
“Rustle—”
I don't know how the monster determined that there was a living person on the tree, so it made the sound of the leaves shaking when it hit the trunk hard.
[Is it really a zombie? ]
[There is no doubt about this, but the speed of this explosion is a bit outrageous. ]
[Was it possible that the place where the zombies first appeared could not have broadcast a warning in advance to warn the people? Or did all the zombies mutate in just one second? ? ]
[It's impossible. This isn't a summoned beast that can bite as soon as it's ordered. Infectious diseases have an incubation period. It shouldn't spread so quickly from one to two, from two to four, from four to eight. I think there must be some reason.]
[Maybe it really is someone’s summoned beast…]
[Fuck, why do I feel like this tree is about to collapse?! !]
Shi Yu grabbed a branch, the leaves fell and covered with snow, and the tree trunk under his feet swayed with the impact from below.
There were only one or two at first, but now, in less than half a minute, more than a dozen monsters had gathered under the tree, crowded underneath like a beehive, pushing and pulling. Some even stretched out their hands to hug the tree trunk, as if they wanted to cover all the places under the tree where people could stand. Their faces, looking up with bloody mouths wide open, were like nets waiting for their prey to jump down.
The tree trunk, which was not very thick to begin with, shook more and more violently. One could almost hear the teeth-grinding creaking sound coming from under one's feet, and the leaves above one's head were trembling and shaking.
No one could see clearly which monster was exerting the force. All they saw was the heads gathered below pushing and falling towards the camphor tree, followed by a loud, dull noise.
The tree trunk, which was covered with rotting flesh, cracked lazily, and then widened, getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly it tilted to one side.
Shi Yu turned around and took advantage of the tree before it fell to jump back onto the hospital wall.
The wall was much shorter than the tree, and the monsters were unwilling to give up, so they swarmed up again. The monsters that were originally inside the wall on the other side did not leave either, and each of them looked up with a bloody face, scrambling to raise their hands and scratch upwards.
Shi Yu had no choice but to retreat and quickly run to the other side of the wall.
The mutation apparently did not affect the monsters' motor nerves. Fortunately, running a few steps with hands raised and grabbing something obviously seriously slowed down the monsters' movements. The people on the wall could not move much faster because they had to maintain balance and guard against contact. For a while, the two sides were actually evenly matched.
The dark pants were blown away by the running, and a part of them slipped down to the ankle. Just as he was about to reach the end of the wall, he suddenly felt a chill on his ankle.
Shi Yu's footsteps tensed up reflexively, and then he fell uncontrollably. Before falling off the wall, he used his hands to support himself on the cement to steady himself. The flying silk thread blocked the claws of the monsters on both sides, preventing them from grabbing him, but was torn apart by the huge force in the blink of an eye.
The monster below was still making noise, approaching this side, until the sound of an engine suddenly rang in the air, followed by a human voice: "Hey--"
The voice was dragging, and the tail tone almost floated to the sky: "Friends over there——"
The zombies under the wall were silent for a second.
A dark motorcycle suddenly crossed the road, and the loud roar of the engine was like a lamb among hungry wolves, attracting monsters from all directions to pounce on it. However, the person on the motorcycle did not dodge, but drove the motorcycle directly into the wave of monsters!
At the moment of collision, the black car body suddenly tilted at a large angle, and the wheels scraped the ground in a twisted arc, passing by the monster in the front, and then quickly balanced, and repeated the same trick, shuttling both the man and the car in the gap like a fish, drilling out of the dense tide of monsters, and steadily attracting the hatred of all the monsters that passed by, and even a large wave followed behind.
A huge army of monsters followed behind the motorcycle, and the people on the motorcycle wore helmets on their heads and looked up at each other.
The man held the handlebars with one hand and whistled: "Beauty - want a ride -?"
“…”
【Gods and soldiers descend from heaven.】
[I always feel like this guy entered the wrong set.]
Although a small number of the monsters under the wall were attracted away by the engine sound, most of them still stayed under the wall with the spirit of perseverance. That moment of collective stagnation was enough to create a safe distance.
Shi Yu ran to the end of the wall and turned at a right angle.
The monsters rushed forward for a while due to inertia, and then turned around and chased him again following his footsteps.
The sound of the engine approached rapidly. The man dodged left and right in the group of monsters. He didn't care about being cool at this moment and shouted loudly: "Go to the middle!"
Looking down the street, there were not many obstructions. Almost all the shops that could be closed were closed, and those that were open were also filled with monsters. It was unrealistic to force others to open their doors now. Regardless of whether they were willing or not, the straight-line distance between him and the other side was such that even if he ran, he could not be faster than the group that was banging on the door relentlessly.
When he returned to the broken camphor tree, Shi Yu leaped up and jumped down, his feet on the solid ground. The silk thread in his hand flew towards the monster in front of him like a downpour.
Seven or eight monsters in the front row were tied up by the silk thread at the same time, and then they all struggled. Their limbs could not stop stretching, and the silk thread was stretched straight and tight by their movements, and then a clear cracking sound could be heard.
Shi Yu ignored it. As soon as the silk thread tied up this group, he avoided their claws and then manipulated the silk thread to tie up the second group.
The sound of the silk threads breaking was dense and clear, and was transmitted to the human ear through the medium.
Until the amount of silk threads that could be used exceeded the quota, Shi Yu faced the faces of the two monsters, and the next moment a gust of wind whistled.
“Bang, bang—”
The two monsters were knocked out by the motorcycle. At the same time, the person on the motorcycle leaned over and grabbed his wrist with a hand wearing a black leather glove and pulled it back: "Get on!"
A man fell from the motorcycle, and it suddenly swung to the side, sliding in an S-shaped arc on the snow, almost overturning the motorcycle with the man.
Shi Yu didn't have time to sit down and subconsciously grabbed the other person's coat.
The driver's hands were free, so he put both hands on the handlebars and instead of retreating, he moved forward, turned the accelerator to the bottom and entered the violent mode.
Although the monsters are very strong, their speed is not enough to match that of motorized vehicles such as motorcycles.
The driver was being chased by the monsters on the street only because he slowed down to pick someone up. Now, once he accelerated, he almost instantly left the pursuers behind.
As we drove onto the bridge across the river, we could occasionally see one or two pools of blood that had not yet completely oxidized and turned black on the roadside, and torn clothes were piled up in a mess.
There were few pedestrians on the bridge to begin with, and the monsters probably ate the few that were left and then were attracted by the vehicles that were still carrying people and chased away. The number of monsters on the road finally decreased visibly until they disappeared.
The driver slowed down, changing from violent mode back to a slow car, then stopped on a flat ground with a wide view somewhere on the side of the road, shifted gears, got out of the car, and then took off his helmet.
Shi Yu was still sitting on the back of the motorcycle, but he loosened the other person's clothes and said, "Thank you."
The driver was obviously more interested in him as a person than the monster and thank you, and said politely: "It's just a small favor."
Then he added symbolically: "You weren't caught just now, were you?"
Shi Yu said nothing, but bent down and unzipped his trouser legs, revealing a pair of clean white socks.
And there are two holes on it that were torn by some monster.
The driver immediately backed away from me by more than ten meters, not even wanting to drive the motorcycle anymore: "Shi Yu, I won't let you screw over my lifesaver like this!!!"
Shi Yu was silent for two seconds: "The socks are torn, but the skin is not."
The driver leaned against the metal railing of the bridge, looking alert: "Really?"
"Want to check?"
The driver took small steps over and squinted his eyes. Fortunately, he had good eyesight and could see the person's ankle clearly from such a distance. He indeed did not see any signs of scratches.
but……
The driver breathed a sigh of relief, and finally realized why the other party hadn't gotten out of the car: "Where are your shoes?"
"It fell."
He was only wearing slippers when he jumped off the building. It was already quite a stretch for him to be able to run along the wall, jump down, and get into the car successfully.
The driver rummaged through the trunk of his motorcycle and pulled out a pair of Martin boots: "Just make do with this for now."
Shi Yu answered: "Thank you."
The sky gradually darkened, and the melted and unmelted snow on the ground mixed together, and a cold air rose from the bottom to the top.
The driver looked at him using the motorcycle seat as a chair and said, "So, did I just save you?"
Shi Yu lowered his head to put on his shoes and hummed, "Okay."
"So you don't have anything to say to me?"
"have."
The driver immediately made a gesture of listening attentively, ready to listen to how the other party would express praise and admiration for his miraculous attack just now, with a look on his face that said: Praise me now!
"I remember I didn't introduce myself just now." Shi Yu tucked his trouser legs into his boots and raised his eyes. "Why do you know my name?"
“…”
"If you knew that, why did you call her beautiful in the beginning?"
“…”
