Chapter 62
The little fox nodded hurriedly.
The scale viper did not conceal its presence, and although it was diluted due to the long distance, it was still able to roughly determine that the opponent was to the east.
East is a very broad directional word.
A rough count from City B to the east shows that there are at least dozens of cities, large and small. Trying to find a snake among them is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.
But there was also a major event in the East that everyone is familiar with.
Just a few months ago, mutants led by S-class Black Snake occupied the largest swamp forest in the area and transformed it into a paradise where countless mutants gathered!
After just a little thought, Wen Xin immediately understood.
Yeah, why didn’t he think of it before?
S-class mutants release an aura to summon their own species. This natural suppression and attraction is irresistible.
If the green ball was nearby at the time, he might have followed the snakes.
Wen Xin missed Green Group.
Not only the green dumplings, he also wants to find the other dumplings.
But the current situation is that he has inexplicably become the focus of the world's attention. No matter where he goes, his identity being exposed may cause a sensation, leading to unpredictable consequences.
Wen Xin rubbed the little fox with longing eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go find it later."
No matter what happens, he will never give up looking for Tuanzi.
The next morning.
A hint of paleness appeared on the horizon, and the darkness of the night was gradually dispelled by the sunlight.
Fearing that something might happen later, Wen Jinfeng decided to take Wen Xin away an hour earlier.
Li Yongming has always had a good impression of Wen Xin. After all, during the time when Wen Jinfeng had not yet returned, he acted as the young man's temporary family member.
During the period when Wen Xin had not yet left the training camp, every time the other party performed well, the instructor's praise would enter his ears first.
Li Yongming sat nearby, looking at the young man's calm face, and felt a little distressed.
Who wants to live in hiding?
But this is the situation in the last days.
Natural disasters and man-made calamities make the wheel of history roll on, and every person is like a tiny speck of dust that is crushed to the ground, with no control over their fate.
"We cleared the zombies in the surrounding area on the way here, kept some of them, and set up roadblocks on the road to block them on the road they had to take later."
"These zombies will be released as the source of the 'accident' in a while. When the scene is chaotic enough, you will come with me. Remember to follow me closely and don't lose me."
Wen Xin asked a more concerned question: "What if someone gets hurt?"
Li Yongming smiled when he heard this and told him not to worry.
"Others will not get off the bus rashly. Once the zombies are cleaned up, we will put the military uniforms we prepared in advance on the zombies, and then fake the scene to make it look real."
Creating an accident is not as simple as announcing to the public that you have encountered an accident.
How to cover it up afterwards and how to spread public opinion to make people believe it all require planning and calculation.
Wen Jinfeng will take all these things into consideration.
The army had traveled more than halfway and was getting farther and farther away from City B where Idealism was located.
Wen Xin felt uneasy, and as she hadn't slept well last night, she leaned back in the chair.
He was thinking about the little fox he had just parted with, about A-Lu who might be in the dense forest and swamp in the east, and about everyone else who had not been heard from yet, and he gradually felt a little drowsy.
Suddenly, Wen Xin's ears moved, and he seemed to hear a commotion coming from the front.
The sound is very subtle, and if you listen carefully, it sounds a bit like a zombie's roar.
Wen Xin was sitting in the back seat, his view blocked by the seat, so he stood up and looked forward through the side window.
Sure enough, a zombie jumped out of the building and rushed towards the vehicle in front with its fangs and claws bared.
When Wen Xin stuck his head out to take a look, the zombie had already been shot to death by well-trained soldiers.
He asked uncertainly, "Have we arrived yet?"
Wen Jinfeng, who was sitting diagonally in front of him, suddenly stood up.
The man's eagle eyes stared straight ahead, and his exposed profile looked like a dark cloud covered with thunder.
Wen Jinfeng's expression would not change easily. Even when he was confronting the little fox who was revered as the Pope of Idealism, he remained calm and composed.
When the other person's expression changes, it seems to be a sign of the coming storm.
Wen Xin suddenly woke up.
Three seconds later, or maybe less than three seconds.
The earth suddenly began to shake, and the gravel on the ground was shaken and jumped around!
Wen Xin was very familiar with this kind of tremor. The horrific memories of encountering a tide of zombies all over the mountains on National Highway G177 a few months ago suddenly flooded his mind.
But this time, Li Yongming didn't need to throw the gun to him like Xu Qiang did.
In the blink of an eye, the young man had dragged out the weapons box from under his feet and assembled the gun smoothly.
He could even free his hand and throw a handful to the soldier behind him who was also on high alert, so that they could keep it for backup.
Li Yongming subconsciously wanted to tell him to hide: "..."
An idea suddenly popped into his mind uncontrollably.
For Wen Xin's safety, Wen Jinfeng wanted to send him to an uninhabited island to hide there for three to five years.
But can such a sharp and reserved person really be imprisoned on an island?
Soon, Li Yongming had no time to think about this problem anymore.
The zombies came like a wave, and the roars covered the sky and the earth.
Not only on the streets, but also in the bushes around and the buildings in the distance, everywhere you look, there are zombies with their bloody mouths wide open, showing off their might!
Although Li Yongming had dealt with many zombies before, and killing zombies was as common to him as eating and drinking, he was still shocked by the huge scale in front of him and his voice became unsteady.
"We have cleared this area in advance, how is it possible that there are still so many zombies here!?"
Wen Jinfeng's face was as gloomy as water, and he held down the intercom with one hand. The roar of the commander of the army's attack echoed in the communication channel.
"Teams in the front and rear, report what you have observed."
"Be careful, the situation is unclear right now, don't attack rashly. Team one will focus firepower to deal with the zombies on the southeast street first, Team two will be responsible for cover, Team three will try to find a high ground with a wide field of view to observe the situation, Team four..."
Li Yongming had been ordered to lead a team, leaving a vacant seat next to Wen Xin.
Although he wanted to join the fight, his ankle was injured and he had difficulty moving, so going down would only cause trouble.
Wen Xin gripped the gun tightly in his hand and listened carefully to the continuous gunfire outside the car.
After a cannon blast, a blazing fire broke out in the building area ahead, thick black smoke rushed up to the sky, and a terrifying roar was heard in between!
The outline of a huge figure emerged from the shadowy mist.
It is more than three meters tall and its weight is unknown, but it looks like it weighs no less than an adult mammoth.
He just jumped forward and instantly knocked down a part of the roof. The tiles shattered into pieces and fell to the ground like mud and water.
Seeing the true face of this big guy, Wen Xin's pupils suddenly froze.
Wen Jinfeng's hoarse but steady voice came into the intercom: "A few months ago we determined that zombies have the possibility of evolution, but during this period we have not found any examples similar to Giant Zombie No. 1."
"Listen carefully, we must capture this monster and take it back for research!"
This time the army was dispatched with sufficient manpower and firepower.
Wen Xin heard that they were more than capable of handling the situation, and felt a little relieved.
However, perhaps it was his natural keen intuition that played a role, his nervousness did not disappear, but instead became even higher.
Wen Jinfeng commanded everyone to attack, Li Yongming reported the current situation on the intercom channel at any time, and the soldiers cooperated to break through.
Only the small area where he was was too quiet.
Wen Xin hesitated and slowly looked towards the back seat.
There was another row of seats in the back car, where sat an ordinary-looking soldier.
The soldier held the gun he had just handed over in both hands, staring blankly at the front where the noise was coming from. He seemed a little nervous, and his face kept shaking.
This soldier had been waiting in the back seat before Wen Xin got on the bus, along with another soldier.
But when the unexpected happened, the soldier rushed out of the car with Li Yongming.
But this person was still waiting there.
Wen Xin slowly pulled out the safety pin.
The tiny sound caught the attention of Wen Jinfeng in front.
He frowned and turned to look over.
Unexpectedly, this small action was like a fuse that ignited an explosion. The dazed soldier suddenly screamed, strangled his own neck, and his eyeballs bulged out.
“Ahhh… Hoshi…”
Irregular purple blood vessels emerged from the soldier's skin, as if wriggling worms were crawling out.
Seeing this scene, the two brothers' pupils shrank and they reacted almost at the same time.
Wen Xin ignored his sprained ankle and leaned forward to try to pull away Wen Jinfeng who was sitting in the front seat. The latter simply pulled out a gun and shot the mutant soldier in the head.
Bang!
Something exploded with the sound of the gunfire, but it was not flesh and blood.
Wen Xin smelled a strong and strange scent of candle incense, and his vision went dark and dizzy.
In less than half a second, he was shocked to remember that this candle was the incense he had smelled at the pockmarked man's place, which had a hallucinogenic effect!
Wen Xin quickly shouted a warning: "This is a drug incense, don't smell it!"
The aroma spreads quickly.
When the driver heard the warning, he had already inhaled a little. His eyes suddenly became blurry and his hands holding the steering wheel suddenly became unsteady.
Squeak——
The armored vehicle swung in a Z shape on the road, with intense sparks flying from its tires and the ground, and it almost collided with the car in front.
The engine roared in the car, and the whole world became confused.
"Damn it! Get out of the car!"
But if you want to get off the car, the driver has to stop first.
Before the crisis, Wen Xin reacted faster than Wen Jinfeng and raised his hand and shot the dial.
表盤炸開，司機下意識松開油門，裝甲車歪斜地朝着牆壁橫沖過去，在震響中被迫剎停！
兩兄弟借此機會跌跌撞撞地沖下了車，又齊心協力把傻愣着的司機一塊拖了下來。
完成這一系列動作之後，溫辛身子一晃，像在高空中踩着棉花般搖搖欲墜。
盡管迷香蔓延的時候很快警惕屏息，但他身在車後座，吸入了不少。
迷香作用下，世界突然變得不再真切。
炮火聲、嘶吼聲、接連的槍聲頓時連成了一片，山呼海嘯般淹沒了他的神智。
溫辛頭皮炸開，腦子裏響起一陣刺耳的嗡鳴，在他昏倒前，似乎聽到了溫勁風撕心裂肺的呼喊聲。
“溫辛——！”
.
溫辛意識到他們遇見了襲擊。
他神智渙散地醒來，感覺到一陣搖搖晃晃的颠簸，眼睛渾渾噩噩地撐開了一條縫，瞳孔不斷凝緊又松開，變大變小。
眼前的景象朦朦胧胧，像是被濃郁的迷霧包裹，并不清晰。
但他仍能從車外飛快閃過的樹影，和身後緊追不放的炮火聲，判斷出有人挾持了他。
面前有三個人。
一人開着車，一人正在給槍裝彈，還有一個人滿臉焦急地往後看。
突然，第三個人臉色大變，就像看到了什麽恐怖的景象一樣，驚慌失措地大喊：“開槍，快開槍！”
不知道是不是挾持的時候太緊急，綁匪來不及把他捆起來。
他可以動。
溫辛咬緊牙關，額頭頂着車座，額角上爆出青筋。
他隐約聽到後面傳來可怕的咆哮，但已經顧不上那麽多，忍着腳踝鑽心般的疼痛，撐起身一個猛子往前撲去。
持槍的人正要舉起槍，被青年的手臂卡住了喉嚨。
槍管被青年的另一只手拽住，人也翻白眼揚起了腦袋，發出“嗬嘶，嗬嘶！”的氣音。
“艹他娘的，他怎麽這麽快就醒過來了？”
“快拉開他！”
又是一陣叫嚷、搏鬥與混亂。
後面，軍隊追着巨型喪屍，巨型喪屍一個勁兒地往前跑，幾步就沖到了面包車前面。
近看時它的身體更如小山般巨大，拳頭氣勢洶洶地往車頭一砸，鐵板凹陷下去，前座的兩個人立馬變成了綻開的番茄醬。
溫辛下意識抓住車背。
突然，他的腳下傳來了強烈的失重感。
整輛車都被巨型喪屍舉了起來！
這只巨型喪屍就像有自己的意識，抱起車子不是想摔出去，而是确認裏面有沒有人在。
溫辛在裏面感覺到一陣天旋地轉，腦袋撞在玻璃上，好險沒有徹底昏死過去。
再下一刻，他的呼吸幾乎驟停。
只因溫辛看到巨型喪屍睜着一只布滿血絲的大眼睛，駭人的視線從外看進車內。
然後，它伸出快有水桶粗的手指，精準地将快要昏死的第三個人捏了出去。
“叛……叛徒……”
喪屍嘴巴微張，發出不怎麽連貫的嘶吼聲。
溫辛呼吸更加不穩，這頭喪屍居然是在說話！
第三個人被掐醒了，哭爹喊娘：“饒命啊，我錯了，不該看到他見財起意，饒了我吧！”
溫辛的後背貼着車窗，不斷吸氣吐氣，心髒激烈得像在蹦迪。
他看着眼前魔幻無比的場景，隐隐約約像是明白過來，挾持他的人群發生了內讧。
這三個人很有可能是眼饞他的高價懸賞，違背了襲擊者的命令，在混亂中用一輛面包車偷偷摸摸将他轉移了出去。
巨型喪屍還沒有作出反應，一顆狙擊子彈如同一道閃電，擊穿了它的手掌。
血花炸開，喪屍發出瘋狂的咆哮。
轉頭一看，溫勁風坐在裝甲車上，破碎的前窗架着支巴/雷特，雙眼通紅地盯着他們。
起碼四、五聲劇烈的咆響在喪屍的腳底下炸開，巨型喪屍膝蓋以下瞬間被炸得鮮血淋漓。
它發出接連的吼叫，當即把生死不知的第三個人丢在地上，抱着裝有溫辛的面包車跑了。
溫辛想要阻止這只巨型喪屍。
無奈，他在剛才的襲擊中承受了太多的颠簸，顫顫巍巍的手臂支撐着身體，終于不支地倒了下去。
這一次昏迷，起碼有幾個小時。
過程中溫辛醒來三次，又在劇烈的震動中被再度晃暈。
巨型喪屍從一座城市，跑到了另一座城市，身後的軍隊依舊窮追猛打。
直到二十多個小時之後，追擊的裝甲車終于沒了油。
男人頭一次發狂失态，在裝甲車上摔斷了槍，而重傷的巨型喪屍将他們抛在身後，逐漸隐沒于遙遠的地平線中。
.
不知過了多久，溫辛醒來。
他眼前一陣發黑，渾身上下好像快要散架，胸口更是傳來一陣燒熱般的劇痛。
喉嚨癢意十足，溫辛反射性地重重咳嗽了一聲，嗆出了幾點猩紅的血沫。
看到那灑在車座椅上的血沫子，他的意識慢慢恢複了清明。
再擡頭往前一看，夜幕下璀璨的星河映入眼簾，車門不翼而飛。
溫辛快速地吸了幾口氣，忍着腳踝傳來的劇痛，靠着還能動的那只腳，手撐住車椅，一點點地往外挪。
他艱難地爬了出去。
回頭一看，面包車的車頭幾乎被擠壓成薄薄一張鐵紙皮。
一只手臂垂落在副駕車窗的外邊，皮膚上的血漬已經幹涸。
溫辛又看見了倒在面包車旁邊的巨型喪屍。
巨型喪屍的身上全是被炮火轟炸出來的焦傷和彈坑，密密麻麻，洞穿了大腿和手臂。
最嚴重的傷口，莫屬它血肉模糊的後頸肉。
溫辛看它的胸口還有起伏，似乎掙紮着想要爬起來，慢騰騰地挪過去，抱起旁邊的尖石頭，朝巨型喪屍慘不忍睹的後頸補了一下。
噗呲。
巨型喪屍渾身一顫，徹底死了。
做完這一切，溫辛感覺自己的臉上濕乎乎的。
他下意識拿手抹了一下臉，攤開手掌，全是剛才爬動時蹭在身上的泥，還有血。
發現怎麽抹也不舒服，青年試了幾下後幹脆放棄了。
他左看看，右看看，周圍的環境完全陌生。
“這是哪兒？”
提出這個問題後，溫辛偏了偏頭，如星星一般明亮的眼睛裏透出些許茫然。
“我是誰？”
他皺着眉頭冥思苦想，覺得這是件很重要的事情，不能忘。
于是他慢慢地想起來了。
“對……我叫，溫辛。”
夜色下，似乎有不軌的兇獸潛伏在暗處，蠢蠢欲動。
溫辛感覺到了發自心底的寒意，下意識摸向自己的衣服，想要找到可以帶來安全感的東西。
一陣翻找之後，他摸到了一個縫有美麗小花的布袋子，袋子被放在衣服最裏層的口袋裏。
打開袋子一看，有舊懷表、黑色和綠色的鱗片、一根黃褐色的羽毛、一個軟軟的大概拇指大小的簡易狐貍玩偶、還有兩撮分別為紫色和藍色的毛。
看到這些東西，記憶片段頓時化為無數碎片沖入了他的腦海。
“唔！”
後勁太大，溫辛差點再一次暈了過去，捂着脹痛的額頭，先打開了手裏的懷表。
照片裏有一男一女兩夫妻，他們将手搭在中間的小男孩肩膀上，露出慈愛的表情。
青年定定地看入了迷，腦子裏一陣刺痛，似乎逐漸回憶起了一點東西。
“這是我的父親，還有母親，中間的……”
某段畫面在溫辛的腦子裏緩慢浮現。
一個十七、八歲的高中生，滿臉冷漠地越過了飯桌前的他，随後頭也不回地走向門口，在門外亮得刺目的日光中漸行漸遠。
溫辛愣愣地放下了手，輕抿嘴唇，将懷表妥善放回了布袋子。
随後，他看向黑色的鱗片，順手将其拿了出來。
鱗片一現身，周圍觊觎着青年的那些影子就好像受到了什麽驚吓，狼狽地逃開了。
察覺到這一點的溫辛眨了眨眼睛，有些驚喜地舉起黑色鱗片，當場小小地哇了一聲：“你好有用。”
他感到了徹底的安心，将其他東西都放回了衣服裏面的夾層口袋。
溫辛在周圍巡視了一圈，運氣很不錯地找到根歪歪扭扭的粗樹枝。
摘掉幹枯發黑的葉子，粗樹枝成了木棍，可以當拐杖用。
溫辛一手攥着黑色鱗片，一手拄着木棍，艱難地支撐起身體，看向不遠處燈火通明的城市基地，慢騰騰地走去。
只是在他走到之前，有一只小家夥嗅着空氣中傳散來的強大變異體氣息，先找上了他。
還沒等溫辛走近，小家夥就看着月光下映照在地面上的影子，顫顫巍巍、恭恭敬敬地伏下了身，示弱般地發出一陣軟軟的叫聲，有點類似鳥叫。
溫辛低頭看向眼前的小家夥。
毛茸茸的大長尾巴，橢圓的耳朵，紫色毛發厚實到讓它顯得有點圓滾滾。
布口袋裏就有着一撮和小家夥毛色相近的毛，似乎有什麽美好的記憶在溫辛的腦海深處被喚醒。
對了，他曾經是養過一只，紫色的，很可愛的毛團子……
溫辛下意識伸出手來抱起小家夥，柔聲問：“你是我們家的阿紫嗎？”
卻怎想，聽到聲音的毛團子猛然擡頭，發出一聲驚愕的尖叫。
“阿阿？”
Isn't the one who came number one? How could it be a human?
The next moment, the young man narrowed his eyes, his pupils seemed to tremble slightly, and he pressed it into his arms: "Azi, I miss you so much."
