Chapter 48
The person in charge looked at him in surprise. In his heart, A Luo was still a child. His first reaction was to refuse: "Does your brother know about this?"
A Luo: "I became an adult a few days ago."
The bowl of soup made from mutant corn that welcomed him as an adult smelled sweet but tasted slightly bitter, but it was one of the few good things to eat in the safe zone.
It took his brother a lot of effort to get it.
Their parents died at the beginning of the apocalypse, and it was only thanks to their brother that he and his young and ignorant sister survived. Now it is his turn to protect his brother and sister.
My brother is an ordinary person, he can escape and retreat, but he is a polluter, so he should stand up and fight.
When the person in charge heard that he had become an adult, his expression became conflicted.
The words of refusal came to my lips but I couldn't say them.
He really needs help.
After a whole night of preparation and appealing to everyone in the safe zone, only three people were willing to go with him to find the whereabouts of the emergency team, and two of them were ordinary people.
In this situation, it is undoubtedly a good thing for polluters to take the initiative to stand up.
The person in charge wiped his face, his eyes becoming complicated. Finally, he patted A Luo on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you must follow us closely."
There were only five people on the trip. There was a sycamore forest outside the safe zone, and they would start hunting during the day. They could only travel at night and drove away the only car in the safe zone that was suitable for driving on snow.
This was the first time since the end of the world that A Luo had taken the initiative to leave the community.
He clenched the spear in his hand. That was his special ability, which allowed him to replicate the spear indefinitely. The more serious his injuries were, the more attack power the spear would have, and the damage would be doubled when it hit the enemy.
The person sitting next to A Luo was an ordinary person with a casual personality. He usually liked to hold his book and say some ambiguous words.
A Luo had an impression of him, but didn't know his name. He only knew that everyone in his family had met with misfortune and he was the only one alive. Some people in the safe zone called him a nerd.
After living in the apocalypse for a few years, Luo had lost all his politeness. He also started calling the man a nerd: "Nerd, why did you come out with us?"
He is a polluter and his physique is much better. As an ordinary nerd, he is not so good. His mouth is so cold that it turns purple.
The ride was very bumpy, and sometimes in order to avoid some dirt, you had to make a sharp turn, brake suddenly, or step on the accelerator hard.
In order to save fuel, they were reluctant to turn on the air conditioner in the car to blow warm air, so they could only endure it.
The nerd glanced at him and said, "Courage is the hymn of mankind."
A Luo was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of this sentence, but subconsciously thought it was very cool, and his heart seemed to beat twice.
"...Courage is the hymn of mankind." Aro repeated.
The car fell silent.
They had been traveling for several hours on the route to deliver supplies to the base without any danger.
The good news is that this sudden drop in temperature has also had an impact on the filth. Some of them are hiding in buildings, some are hiding under the snow, and are not very willing to come out to destroy the surroundings.
But even the best luck will eventually run out.
Just when A Luo wanted to put away the spear, the car stopped suddenly. He leaned forward with force, and the spear in his hand almost poked a hole in the head of the polluter in front of him.
The polluter cursed, "What's wrong?!"
The person in charge of the car said calmly: "There's a white fox blocking the road ahead."
If you listen carefully, it's not difficult to hear the fear hidden beneath the voice.
"White Fox?" The polluter looked up and was speechless for a moment.
A snow-white fox with beautiful fur stood in the snow, its yellow vertical pupils looking at them quietly.
The picture was not beautiful, because two bloodstains were slowly left under the white fox's eyes, dripping into the snow and blooming into blood plum blossoms, which was just weird.
"Fuck!" The polluter in the passenger seat angrily pounded the car, "Run it over!"
It's just a little beast.
A Luo clenched his spear: "I'll go down and drive it away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly changed color.
The person in charge looked up, and his expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! It's going to snow again!"
As these words were spoken, the first snowflake fell, followed by thousands and millions of snowflakes, continuing to compose this silver-white world.
Person in charge: "We need to find a building to stay in."
If this continues, their car might be submerged in the snow.
After the snow fell, the vision was blocked and even if people could move, it would be inconvenient, but no one in the car objected.
It's just that they happened to come to a large open space, and there were no buildings nearby to take shelter. In just a few minutes, the snow became heavier and the wind blew them all in one direction.
A Luo raised his eyes again, and the white fox that had just stood in the middle of the road was gone.
No one paid any attention, and the person in charge stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
...
cold.
Even the joints between my bones hurt.
My consciousness was so blurry that it was about to fade away.
Just close your eyes...
A Luo's cheek hurt, and he opened his eyes suddenly: "Who!?"
The pair of eyes he met were not those of a human, but those of a golden fox. Tears and blood were still flowing underneath, and the white hair on his face was soaked with blood.
A Luo didn't expect that the white fox not only didn't leave, but also licked him with its rough tongue.
He couldn't help but be thankful that it didn't choose to bite through his artery.
He was so frightened that he shouted with bravado, and the spear in his hand reappeared, swinging it twice in the direction of the white fox: "Get out of here! Go away!"
The white fox looked at him deeply, then walked away nimbly and lightly, swinging its beautiful tail.
A small row of plum blossom footprints and blood drops were left in the snow.
A Luo was still frightened, and he quickly felt around to confirm where he was.
He only remembered that the car suddenly slipped while driving in the blizzard. To be more precise, there was dirt under the wheels that pushed them down. The car was completely out of control and rushed down from a huge slope. The brakes were useless.
Then there was a loud bang and a crash, and he knew nothing.
It was pitch black all around him and he couldn't see clearly. He could only reach out and feel around to determine that he was still inside the car.
The whole car rolled over, and he was lucky enough to only suffer minor injuries.
These injuries, which are enough to kill ordinary people, will only make it difficult for the polluter to move, but will not kill him.
A Luo suddenly touched something cold. He was startled and looked to the side. It turned out to be the nerd who had been sitting next to him from the beginning.
Is nerdhood dead?
A Luo's heart tightened: "Hey, are you dead?"
"Hmph." The nerd groaned softly in pain, indicating that he was still breathing.
Ah Luo relaxed. "Great. Wait a minute. I'll pull you out when I get out."
He had never encountered such a serious accident before. He was panicked when he was alone, but now that he knew there were people alive like him, he regained some of his sanity.
"Where are the others?" A Luo muttered. He climbed out of the broken car window and was silent for a moment after seeing the whole picture of the car.
"We have no car." Luo concealed his fear with a helpless expression.
He wanted to drag the nerd out.
Nerd: "Leave me alone for now."
When he spoke, his throat was like a broken organ.
A Luo thought he could still hold on, so he went to check the driver's seat first.
Unexpectedly, the original driver's seat seemed to have been violently destroyed by some filth, and the person inside disappeared.
The person in charge was dragged away.
There were traces of dragging and bloody handprints left by struggle in the snow.
A Luo gave a brief description, feeling bewildered: "What, what should I do?"
The nerd coughed twice: "Where are the others?"
There should be two more people in the car.
Ah Luo crawled and rolled to check: "They are all dead, all dead."
The polluter was unlucky and got pierced in the throat by a sharp piece of glass, while another ordinary person also died after hitting his head.
A Luo could only think of a way to drag the nerd out first, but he didn't expect that when he had just dragged half of the body out, he saw a huge wound on the nerd's waist, with some tiny vines wriggling inside.
"Nerd, you've been polluted." A Luo's voice trembled. "Are you going to become a polluter?"
There are only two possibilities for ordinary people to be polluted: become a polluter, or be unable to bear it and directly turn into filth.
Not everyone can successfully acquire superpowers and become a polluter.
A Luo didn't dare to think of another possibility.
In this icy and snowy place, he was the only companion left.
The nerd said apologetically, "It's too cold."
He can't survive.
Only you know your body best.
I'm so sleepy.
Rapid cooling of the body due to excessive blood loss.
"Remember what I told you?"
A Luo felt his face was a little cold, and when he wiped it with his fingers, he found that it was tears. Even tears would freeze instantly. He tried his best to pull off the clothes of the person in the passenger seat to stop the bleeding and keep him warm.
"Courage is the hymn of mankind..."
The nerd didn't stop him. He just said this sentence with apology and relief, and finally closed his eyes slowly.
What I could vaguely hear was A Luo shouting something heartbreakingly.
The nerd is dead.
He didn't die from pollution, nor from the sudden car accident, but from bleeding and freezing to death.
All the limbs were so stiff that they could not move.
A Luo didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he took off his clothes and passed them on to himself. Even though he put on an extra coat and another layer of socks and pants, he was still cold.
It was so cold that my heart was shaking.
He repeated the nerd's words before he left and gathered up all the food in the car.
If possible, he would also like to take the gas with him, but he couldn't transport it, so he could only carry a bag of dry food.
Everything was covered in white. He lost his vision and his direction.
Where to go?
The direction the person in charge was dragged away was definitely not right.
He was conscious when he was dragged away, which means that the filthy creature likes to eat living things. Maybe it neglected it because it didn't realize he was still alive, or it may have just imagined eating the person in charge and then coming back. Either possibility is very unfavorable to him.
He had to take another route to avoid running into the filth.
While thinking, A Luo looked down and suddenly saw the conspicuous footprints in the snow.
It belongs to the white fox.
A Luo seemed to be bewitched. After hesitating for a long time, he finally followed the footprints.
If there really is a god in this world, please perform a miracle to save him.
