Chapter 163 (Catching Bugs)
Yunmian was gently woken up by her mother.
She woke up rubbing her eyes in a daze, and then she heard her mother's gentle voice saying, "Mianmian, we are leaving home. Put this small bag on your back and we will leave soon."
A hand gently stroked her head. Yun Mian looked at the small backpack handed to her by her mother, and obediently reached out to take it and held it in her arms.
"Mom, when will we be back after we leave?" Yun Mian looked at her mother who was also carrying a large backpack, and then looked at the room where she had lived since she was born. Even though she was sleepy, there was still a lot of reluctance in her eyes.
This is my mother and my home.
But we are leaving soon.
Yun Jinshu rubbed his daughter's sleep-stained face and said softly, "Be good, maybe the monsters will be destroyed soon. Then we can come back and buy this place. It will still be our home."
"Then do we have to earn a lot of money?" Yunmian's attention was diverted. She asked while climbing down from the sofa with her backpack in her arms. She went to the entrance to put on her shoes, and then walked around the house with her mother, sitting and waiting.
Yun Jinshu did not answer her daughter's question. After all, no one could tell what the world would be like in the future, and whether they could come back was still a distant unknown. The only thing they had to do now was to stay alive.
After waiting for about ten minutes, almost everyone heard the faint sound outside that was getting closer and closer.
It should be a "broadcast" that was transmitted through loudspeakers and deliberately amplified several times.
"Please pay attention to all survivors... The rescue point is at Liu'an Street Square. Please find a way to reach the rescue point before 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Also, please pay attention to safety and cover yourself up as much as possible. Don't let your skin be scratched and injured by zombies. Please help each other when you encounter danger. If your companions turn into zombies, kill them immediately!"
"Attention, survivors..."
"Attention, survivors..."
The sound was getting closer and more shrill, and the amplified volume made people frown uncomfortably, as if someone was holding a huge loudspeaker and yelling in their ears, which was unbearable.
It is obvious that the above unofficial rescue notices were temporarily thought up by the rescue troops. It is possible that rescue teams in other places use another set of similar but different words.
Yun Jinshu covered his daughter's ears and listened to the huge volume of the announcement outside that would definitely attract all the zombies, with a complicated expression.
Although the military cannot provide all the help to the survivors in the entire city at the same time, the reason they use such a loud volume to make the notifications, in addition to allowing all survivors to receive the message, is also another way to reduce the burden of travel for the survivors in hiding.
At the very least, the zombies wandering in the nearby streets would be attracted by the noise and chase after them, which made their journey to the rescue point suddenly become a lot safer and easier.
After the notification sound faded away again, there was a knock on the door from outside. Soon the voices of the group of students upstairs were heard from outside the door. They were ready to set off and invited Yun Jinshu and Yun Mian to go with them so that they could take better care of them on the way.
Yun Jinshu held her daughter's hand, took a deep look at the house when closing the door, and then put the key in her hand under the mat at the door.
Yunmian watched her mother's actions quietly. Children may feel homesick, but she believes her mother's words more. She believes that she will make a lot of money in the future, buy this place, and then go home again!
So in Yunmian's mind, this departure was probably just a long journey with her mother.
Although I am a little reluctant to leave, as long as my mother is always by my side, I don’t have to miss home too much no matter where I go~
"Let's go." Yun Jinshu stood up, carrying a huge backpack on his back, holding a very sharp long machete in his left hand, and holding his daughter's hand with his right hand.
The others also had weapons they had found that were fairly handy.
"Go downstairs and drive away." Yun Jinshu said to the others, "I looked down from the window. When the zombies broke out, it was hot outside. The roads near us are quite wide and not blocked by vehicles. If we drive, we should be able to reach the rescue point as quickly as possible."
As for after arriving, it was even simpler. The military came to rescue so late probably because they had to clear a road for vehicles to pass. Now that they have arrived successfully, it will be much easier for them to go back.
"We may have too many people..." Du Qing looked back at his classmates and said a little embarrassedly: "Besides, I just finished the second part of the exam..."
Although they really didn't want to admit it, they seemed to have become a burden since Sister Yun's first step on the journey...
The other students also laughed awkwardly. They were just freshmen, and some of them who started school earlier were not even adults yet. Although they had the opportunity to touch the car, they were not sure whether their superb driving skills could guarantee a safe arrival in a world full of zombies.
Hearing this, Yun Jinshu looked at Gu Jiangan who was standing beside him, then quickly retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Don't worry, Gu Jiangan can drive. When we get downstairs, we can look carefully and we will probably find a car that can drive. Just be careful, let's go."
The last thing you need to worry about at the end of the world is probably not having a car to use.
It is estimated that many people died in the cars or mutated directly in the cars. Of course, more people were probably hunted when they opened the car doors and prepared to escape.
When walking down the fire escape stairs, everyone tried to walk as lightly as possible.
Although their building had been briefly cleaned once before, no one could guarantee that they would encounter "love" around the corner.
Yunmian held her mother's hand, with the silk thread floating on her fingertips, and arrived at the underground garage ahead of everyone else.
She was looking for the zombie that she had seen before that could open the car door.
But she didn't find it, and the car with the door opened had disappeared into the garage.
Yun Mian blinked in confusion and searched again when she arrived at the garage, but still couldn't find it.
While the others were looking for a usable car, Yunmian lay on the back seat, hugged the driver's seat, and whispered this discovery to her mother's ear.
Yun Jinshu paused holding the steering wheel, and then tried to relax as much as possible.
That strange zombie is not here. No matter what will happen in the future, it is not a bad thing for them at least for now.
"Mom got it. Mianmian, fasten your seat belts. We'll set off after the brothers and sisters get on the bus." Yun Jinshu looked at the group of students and finally landed on Ji Wan.
When they finally found a usable car and cheered quietly as they assigned who would sit in which car, Yun Jinshu asked Ji Wan to get in his car.
Ji Wan also knew that her current situation was special, so she simply pulled Du Qing and Gu Jiangxin, and the three girls got into Yun Jinshu's car first.
Later, the squad leader and Gu Jiangyuan also sat up.
Although it was a bit crowded, everyone's abilities complemented each other and we could all take care of each other on the road.
Yun Jinshu no longer paid attention to Jiang An and drove straight out of the underground garage.
The journey was indeed smooth at the beginning. Occasionally, there were a few lone zombies chasing after them, but they were left far behind by the accelerating vehicles before they could get close. However, the many cars stuck on the road along the way were a reminder of the tragic scenes from a few days ago, and the car they were riding in was shaking so hard because of the avoidance that it made people dizzy and want to vomit.
It was almost scorching hot outside, so Yun Jinshu turned on the air conditioner in the car. Several students sat in the car, fastening themselves tightly with seat belts or holding tightly to the hands of the people next to them. Everyone's nerves were highly tense.
Until the monitor looked at the gradually familiar scenery on both sides of the road, he muttered: "I wonder how our school is doing now..."
Gu Jiangyuan thought about it and shook his head: "There are too many people gathered in the school. Once the zombies appear, I guess many people will not be spared."
Especially for those who live in the same classroom or dormitory, they can hardly hide without any precautions.
"I want to contact my parents as soon as possible, they... Shit!!" Du Qing was sitting in the passenger seat, and suddenly blurted out a Chinese curse in the middle of his words.
She stared at the rearview mirror next to her with wide eyes. In the scene reflected in the mirror, a dog with red eyes and blood all over its body was chasing their car at full speed!
"It just suddenly jumped out of the alley!" Du Qing said very quickly, "And it was so fast! If we hadn't been driving, it would have rushed out and bitten our throats the moment we passed by!"
She also has a large dog at home, so she knows that animal predation is the fastest and most effective way to hunt.
"No!" The squad leader quickly said, "This dog is too big! Even the largest dog in the world is not as big as it, but it looks like a stray pastoral dog!"
Even though its flesh was rolled up in blood and its fur was tangled and dirty and black and red from being soaked in blood, it was still possible to see that it had the unique fur color and shape of a pastoral dog.
But no matter how big an ordinary pastoral dog is, it would be difficult for it to be as tall as an adult's waist. However, this pastoral dog that was desperately chasing the vehicle was as tall as a person, not including its height when it stood upright.
Yun Jinshu quickly stepped on the accelerator, increasing the speed of the car to the maximum again.
At the same time, they all heard the sound of a vehicle braking rapidly behind them. It should be that another car behind them noticed the existence of the dog and was braking urgently.
"Will they be in danger?" Gu Jiangyuan frowned worriedly.
Ji Wan gripped the armrest above the car door and said in a tense voice: "That dog is obviously chasing us, so let's take care of our own safety first!"
If it were a normal dog, it might have shifted its focus to attack other prey, but this mutated dog's scarlet eyes looked exactly like a zombie's. It was impossible for it to have the ability to think too much. It was just following its dog's instinct to hunt!
So the people in their car are the real prey targeted by that dog!
In Ji Wan's memory, this incident never happened when they were rushing to a farther place in their previous life. Maybe it was because they set out in the afternoon, or maybe it was because the existence of the soul occupying his body made the dog feel dangerous and so it did not appear.
But no matter what, according to the evolutionary trend of the previous life, this dog will definitely pose a big enough threat to humans, both now and in the near future.
They are the ones facing this danger now. If they don't get rid of the dog, maybe all the people in the car will die together soon!
Yun Mian also looked back at the big dog that was chasing the vehicle. She was surprised at the size of the dog at first, then she lowered the window a little bit, squinted her eyes in the hot wind that was rushing in, and quickly stretched out the silk thread.
The little girl didn't care about being exposed or not. She just knew that everyone was in danger, especially the mother who was driving. The faster the dog chased, the faster the mother had to drive. What if something happened?
After the simple and inexplicable equation was established in his mind, Yunmian took action.
But it was nothing like what she thought.
The silk thread that could easily pierce the zombie's head before could not touch the opponent's vital parts because the big dog and the vehicle were running irregularly and accelerating at the same time. The silk thread could only try to grab a strand of dog hair blown by the wind, and poke it in the opponent's extremely hard skin with a clanging sound.
After poking for a long time, not even a drop of blood came out. Instead, the mutant dog became even more violent and chased after the car, barking wildly, as if it wanted to bite the bones of everyone in the car and swallow them.
Yunmian: “…”
system:"……"
Oh no!
"Mom." Yunmian was also panicking. She grabbed the seat in front of her mother and raised her voice against the wind, saying, "That dog is too tough. I can't beat it!"
Yun Jinshu's expression immediately froze when he heard that, and he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, almost taking the word "speeding" to the extreme.
In the extreme fear and anxiety, motion sickness became not important at all. Several people wanted to install wings on the car so that it could fly!
Several times, Yun Jinshu saw the dog was about to jump onto the roof of the car, but he would dodge it at the critical moment. After this happened several times, the dog became even more ferocious and insisted on chasing them. The loud barking sound could be heard from far away in the empty street.
"How long will it take to get to Liu'an Street?" Ji Wan asked nervously.
Yun Jinshu didn't have time to answer her. Fortunately, Gu Jiangyuan and Gu Jiangxin went to Liu'an Street when they left the Yun family. So, she glanced at the scenery outside the window and replied, "We'll be there soon! Just go left after crossing this street!"
As he was speaking, the car roared towards the street corner.
"Sister Yun, be careful!" Du Qing's hands were sweaty. While paying attention to the zombie dogs chasing behind him, he shouted nervously, "There are so many cars blocking the way ahead. We can't get through!"
They were military vehicles, and there were also cars driven by survivors who were closer to here!
They were jammed on that road, completely blocking their possibility of rushing through.
Seeing this, Gu Jiangxin and others' faces were almost filled with despair.
They didn't expect that this would be the end of their desperate journey to the rescue point.
Hope is clearly before our eyes...
But the death behind him is approaching rapidly!
The moment the vehicle suddenly braked to a stop, the Grim Reaper's scythe was already raised high towards them.
The squad leader and others had pale faces and closed their eyes in almost despair, waiting to die.
Yun Jinshu unbuckled his seat belt in an instant and turned around to protect his daughter under him.
Everything happened too fast and too urgently, until a burst of dense and sharp gunshots was heard, and the zombie dogs whimpered away unwillingly, clenching their tails between their legs. The car was still filled with the rapid breathing and trembling sobs of the crowd.
The car door was soon knocked, and a man in military uniform holding a gun knocked on the door, leaned over to look inside, and asked through the car window if they were okay and if they needed help.
In the blank silence, Yun Jinshu slowly let go of his daughter's arm, turned around and fell into the driver's seat as if he was exhausted.
Her arm was probably dislocated because she moved too hastily, and now she couldn't even lift it.
The other people in the car finally came back to their senses from the shadow of death. Looking at the soldiers who were quickly approaching, several students were so emotional that they could not control their tears at all. They cried at the top of their lungs like children who had just found their way home after suffering a lot of grievances.
"Wow, you guys are finally here..."
"I thought I was going to die..."
The moment the army green appeared, all God and Buddha went to hell. The national army is the most powerful and trusted support for every citizen!
All the way till now, it was really scary, touching, and I cried so hard...
Du Qing wiped away her tears with red eyes, opened the car door with trembling hands, and just as she stepped out, her legs went weak and she almost fell down before she could stand firmly.
Then the PLA soldier who had put down his gun reached out and held it steadily.
Du Qing: From now on, I firmly believe in the core values of socialism!
The soldiers who came to the rescue pulled out the survivors one by one, and then one person led them to the front for inspection and registration.
On the way, he explained, "Although the transformation into zombies is very fast and there is almost no incubation period, we have received news that some rescue teams have encountered zombies that can disguise themselves, and there are several special incubation periods, so inspection is necessary. In addition, if any of you have awakened superpowers, we can hire you to do something within your ability, and the compensation will be paid every day as much as possible."
Bypassing the vehicles that blocked almost the entire street, he led a few people to the entrance of the mall.
The closer they got, the more they could hear some conversations coming from inside. The survivors who had rushed there did not stray too far from the entrance. They all gathered together to discuss the thrilling experiences and near-death escapes of the past few days.
Yun Jinshu held Yun Mian in his arms and did not let go all the way.
Her complexion still didn't look good, but it was much better now than when she parked the car.
Because the moment the incident happened just now, Gu Jiangan and Gu Jiangxin also chose to turn around and protect Yun Mian at the first moment, so Yun Jinshu was not too averse to them walking beside her.
Yunmian, carrying a small bag, put her arms around her mother's neck and quietly pressed her face against her mother's cheek and ear.
But his fingers were pinching his mother's hand, which was not very movable.
Sister Ji Wan helped Mom heal when we got off the car just now, but it couldn't completely dispel the feeling of powerlessness, so Mom can only hold her with one hand now.
"Mom, does it still hurt?" Yun Mian touched her mother's arm with concern, her eyes red as if she was going to cry again in the next second.
She had already shed tears once, but whenever she touched her mother's injured hand, she would pout and cry silently like a crybaby.
The scene of her mother turning around and rushing over to hug her across the seat just now replayed in Yunmian's mind again and again. She could even clearly hear the sound of her mother's dislocated bones.
To Yunmian, this sounded even more terrifying than when she was being chased by a huge zombie dog.
Hearing the crying tone in his daughter's words, Yun Jinshu rubbed her with his cheek and said softly, "Mom, it doesn't hurt. Didn't Sister Ji Wan heal Mom just now? Mianmian, don't cry. Your eyes will hurt if you cry too much."
Yunmian hugged her mother's neck tightly and buried her face in her shoulders without saying a word, like an extremely insecure little animal.
It turns out that the world outside is so dangerous, full of scary monsters, and there is no Ultraman or Guanyin Bodhisattva who can save her and her mother.
The child's young worldview was easily shattered by a zombie dog. It was the first time she witnessed the huge danger of force majeure. It was the first time she felt that she was too young and could not really protect her mother.
The inspection method was very simple. After all, they were a rescue team and the conditions were relatively simple, so they let the reported survivors smell a bowl of human blood. After making sure that no one showed any abnormality and no eyes turned visibly scarlet, they let this group of survivors stay in the empty shop nearby and wait.
Instead, it attracted some attention when he made sure they were all safe and registered their abilities.
"Almost all of you have superpowers?" The soldier who recorded the scene looked at the group of people in surprise. Men and women, young and old, all of them have superpowers? ?
Ji Wan recalled that in the early days of the apocalypse in his previous life, no one had many special powers, and the country had to rely more on weapons to carry out sweeps and deterrence.
Thinking of this, she also felt that she and her friends were a little too lucky.
When they awakened their special powers, there weren't even any physical abnormalities. They just awakened after a good sleep, just like eating and drinking. But in the later stages, many people were clearly risking their lives to fight for a chance.
But having super powers is a good thing. After this comrade recorded their super powers one by one, another comrade who had been waiting nearby immediately came over to pull them in.
"We are organizing people to go to the university town and nearby primary and secondary schools for rescue. There are many teachers and students trapped there. It is difficult to guarantee their safety with our own strength.
If you have attack or auxiliary abilities, can you come with us? We will settle the reward as soon as possible after rescuing the people!"
He spoke urgently and even rudely. It was obvious that the situation in the university town had exceeded their initial expectations and the situation was so serious that there was a hint of toughness in his words.
However, at a time like this when the lives of so many people were at stake, and when all the people being saved were their classmates and teachers, how could Ji Wan and the others possibly refuse?
"Comrade, count me in. I have strength abilities and my hits hurt real bad!" Du Qing was the first to raise his hand.
The monitor also quickly raised his hand.
Then, one after another, several students raised their hands high.
Yun Jinshu held her daughter and watched quietly, seemingly having no intention of participating in the rescue.
After all, her abilities are still pretty useless right now, she can't even control a glass of water, let alone being aggressive.
Others had just seen the special powers she registered, not to mention that she was bringing Yunmian, a five-year-old child, with her. No one would ask her to join them.
Mom didn't raise her hand, and Yunmian, who had just fallen into autism because of her mom's injury, didn't raise her hand either. She just leaned on her mom's shoulder, glanced at everyone, pursed her lips, and buried herself back in her mom's arms.
Only when mom raises her hand will Mianmian raise her hand.
There will be an extra chapter coming soon.
