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 inexplicitly 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 requires 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.
The dial exploded, and the driver subconsciously released the accelerator. The armored vehicle slanted towards the wall and was forced to brake in the shock!
The two brothers took this opportunity to stumble out of the car, and worked together to drag the stunned driver down with them.
After completing this series of movements, Wen Xin's body swayed and he was about to fall as if he was walking on cotton in the air.
Although he quickly became alert and held his breath when the incense spread, he was in the back seat of the car and inhaled a lot of it.
Under the influence of the incense, the world suddenly became unreal.
The sound of gunfire, roars, and continuous gunfire suddenly merged into one, drowning his mind like a tsunami.
Wen Xin's scalp exploded and a sharp buzzing sounded in his head. Before he fainted, he seemed to hear Wen Jinfeng's heart-wrenching cry.
"Wen Xin——!"
.
Wen Xin realized they were under attack.
He woke up in a daze, feeling a swaying bump, his eyes open a little in a daze, his pupils constantly condensing and relaxing, expanding and shrinking.
The scene before my eyes was hazy, as if shrouded in thick fog and was not clear.
But he could still tell from the shadows of the trees flashing past outside the car and the sound of gunfire chasing him from behind that someone was holding him.
There are three people in front of me.
One person was driving, one was loading a gun, and another was looking back with an anxious look on his face.
Suddenly, the third man's face changed drastically, as if he had seen something horrific, and he shouted in panic, "Shoot! Shoot!"
I don’t know if it was because the kidnappers were too anxious to tie him up.
He can move.
Wen Xin clenched his teeth, resting his forehead against the seat, with veins bulging on his forehead.
He vaguely heard a terrible roar coming from behind, but he no longer cared about that. He endured the piercing pain in his ankle, stood up and dived forward.
The man with the gun was about to raise his gun when the young man's arm grabbed his throat.
The barrel of the gun was grabbed by the young man's other hand. He rolled his eyes and raised his head, making a "ho hiss, ho hiss!" sound.
"Fuck, why did he wake up so soon?"
"Pull him away!"
There was another round of shouting, fighting and chaos.
Behind, the army was chasing the giant zombie, which ran forward vigorously and rushed in front of the van in a few steps.
Looking closer, its body was as huge as a mountain. It smashed the front of the car with its fist with great force. The iron plate was dented and the two people in the front seat were immediately turned into ketchup.
Wen Xin subconsciously grabbed the back of the car.
Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of weightlessness under his feet.
The entire car was lifted up by a giant zombie!
This giant zombie seemed to have its own consciousness. It picked up the car not to throw it out, but to check whether there was anyone inside.
Wen Xin felt dizzy inside and his head hit the glass, but he luckily did not faint.
The next moment, his breathing almost stopped.
It was because Wen Xin saw a giant zombie staring with a big bloodshot eye, and its terrifying gaze looked into the car from outside.
Then, it stretched out its fingers, which were almost as thick as a bucket, and accurately pinched out the third person who was about to faint.
"Traitor... traitor..."
The zombie opened its mouth slightly and let out a not-so-coherent roar.
Wen Xin's breathing became even more unstable. This zombie was actually talking!
The third person was strangled and woke up, crying, "Please spare my life, I was wrong, I shouldn't have let him be tempted by money, please spare me!"
Wen Xin's back was pressed against the car window, breathing in and out continuously, his heart beating as hard as if he was dancing in a disco.
He looked at the magical scene before him, and vaguely seemed to understand that the people holding him were in internal strife.
The three men, most likely eyeing his high-priced bounty, disobeyed the attackers' orders and secretly moved him away in a van during the chaos.
Before the giant zombie could react, a sniper bullet pierced its palm like a bolt of lightning.
Blood splashed and the zombies roared crazily.
Turning around, they saw Wen Jinfeng sitting in the armored vehicle, with a Zhiba/Leite propped up through the broken front window, staring at them with red eyes.
At least four or five loud roars exploded under the zombie's feet, and the giant zombie's body below the knees was instantly blown into blood.
It roared continuously, and immediately threw the third person, whose life or death was unknown, to the ground, and ran away with the van containing the warmth.
Wen Xin wants to stop this giant zombie.
Helplessly, he had suffered too much shock in the previous attack, and his body was supported by his trembling arms, but he finally collapsed.
This time I was in a coma for at least a few hours.
Wen Xin woke up three times during the process, and was knocked unconscious again by the violent shaking.
The giant zombies ran from one city to another, and the army behind them continued to pursue them.
It was not until more than twenty hours later that the pursuing armored vehicle finally ran out of gas.
The man went berserk for the first time and broke his gun on the armored vehicle. The seriously injured giant zombie left them behind and gradually disappeared into the distant horizon.
.
After an unknown amount of time, Wen Xin woke up.
His eyes went dark, his whole body felt like it was about to fall apart, and a sharp burning pain came from his chest.
His throat was itchy and Wen Xin coughed loudly reflexively, spitting out some scarlet blood foam.
Seeing the blood foam on the car seat, his consciousness slowly returned to normal.
When I looked up again, the brilliant Milky Way under the night sky came into view, and the car door disappeared.
Wen Xin took a few quick breaths, endured the severe pain from his ankle, leaned on the foot that could still move, held on to the car seat with his hands, and moved out little by little.
He climbed out with difficulty.
Looking back, the front of the van was almost squeezed into a thin piece of ironplate.
One arm hung out of the passenger window, the blood stains on the skin already dried.
Wen Xin saw the giant zombie lying next to the van again.
The giant zombie's body was covered with scorch marks and craters from the bombardment, which were so dense that they pierced its thighs and arms.
The most serious wound was the bloody flesh on the back of its neck.
Wen Xin saw that its chest was still rising and falling, as if it was struggling to get up. He slowly moved over, picked up a sharp stone beside him, and hit the giant zombie's horrific neck with it.
Phew.
The giant zombie shuddered and died completely.
After doing all this, Wen Xin felt his face was wet.
He subconsciously wiped his face with his hand and spread out his palm, which was covered with mud and blood from when he had just crawled.
The young man found that no matter how he applied it, it didn't feel comfortable, so he gave up after trying it a few times.
He looked left and right, and the surrounding environment was completely unfamiliar.
"Where is this?"
After asking this question, Wen Xin tilted his head, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes as bright as stars.
"Who am I?"
He frowned and thought hard, feeling that this was a very important matter that he could not forget.
Then he slowly remembered.
"Yes... My name is Wen Xin."
Under the cover of night, it seemed as if some vicious beast was lurking in the dark, ready to strike.
Wen Xin felt a chill from the bottom of his heart and subconsciously reached for his clothes, trying to find something that could give him a sense of security.
After searching for a while, he touched a cloth bag with beautiful little flowers sewn on it. The bag was placed in the innermost pocket of his clothes.
When I opened the bag, I found an old pocket watch, black and green scales, a tan feather, a soft, simple fox doll about the size of a thumb, and two tufts of purple and blue fur.
When he saw these things, the memory fragments suddenly turned into countless fragments and rushed into his mind.
“Hmm!”
The force was so great that Wen Xin almost fainted again. He covered his swollen and aching forehead and opened the pocket watch in his hand.
The photo shows a couple, a man and a woman. They put their hands on the shoulders of the little boy in the middle and have loving expressions on their faces.
The young man stared at it intently, fascinated. He felt a sharp pain in his head and seemed to gradually recall something.
"This is my father, and my mother, and the one in the middle..."
A certain scene slowly emerged in Wen Xin's mind.
A high school student of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked past him in front of the dining table with an indifferent look on his face, then walked towards the door without looking back, and gradually walked away in the dazzling sunlight outside the door.
Wen Xin put down her hand in a daze, pursed her lips, and put the pocket watch back into the cloth bag.
Then he looked at the black scale and took it out.
As soon as the scales appeared, the shadows around him that were coveting the young man seemed to be frightened and fled away in a panic.
Wen Xin blinked when he noticed this, raised his black scales in surprise, and exclaimed softly, "You are so useful."
He felt completely relieved and put his other things back into the inside pocket of his clothes.
Wen Xin looked around and luckily found a crooked, thick branch.
After removing the dry and blackened leaves, the thick branches become sticks that can be used as walking sticks.
Wen Xin clutched the black scales in one hand and leaned on a wooden stick with the other. He supported his body with difficulty, looked towards the brightly lit city base not far away, and walked slowly.
But before he got there, a little fellow sniffed the powerful mutant scent in the air and came to him first.
Before Wen Xin came closer, the young man looked at his shadow cast on the ground in the moonlight, trembling and kneeling down respectfully, and as if showing weakness, he made a soft cry, a bit like a bird's cry.
Wen Xin looked down at the little guy in front of him.
It has a long furry tail, oval ears, and purple hair that is so thick that it looks a bit round.
There was a tuft of fur in the cloth bag that was similar in color to the little guy's, and it seemed that some beautiful memories were awakened deep in Wen Xin's mind.
By the way, he once had a purple, very cute fur ball...
Wen Xin subconsciously reached out and picked up the little guy, and asked softly, "Are you Ah Zi from our family?"
But unexpectedly, Maotuanzi, upon hearing the sound, suddenly raised his head and let out a startled scream.
"Ah?"
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."
