Chapter 4949
Wen Jiuze was infected with the zombie virus.
The air filled with the smell of blood seemed to have stagnated at this moment.
Xue Ling suddenly ran over, grabbed his arm, and dragged him towards their own car.
She used too much force and Wen Jiuze was almost pulled down by her. He dropped the knife in his hand and took the initiative to follow Xue Ling.
She opened the car door in a panic and took out some clean water to rinse his wound.
——Even though they all knew that this was a futile effort.
But Wen Jiuze did not refuse. He took the water and washed the long wound on his body.
After washing away the coagulated blood, the blue color on the surface of the skin became more obvious.
Wen Jiuze wiped the exposed flesh as if he was unaware of the pain.
He had seen many cases of people becoming zombies. Some people would cry in disbelief, while others would go crazy and start to mutilate themselves or take revenge on others.
Initially, some people tried to stop the spread of the zombie virus by cutting off the flesh and arms.
But all the infected people, even if they only had a small wound, would eventually turn into zombies without exception. The only difference was the speed of the transformation.
Wen Jiuze estimated that his transformation speed should be medium. He would not turn into a zombie in a few minutes, nor would he die in two or three days, but he might last a day.
He put down the kettle and looked at Xue Ling.
She was still staring at his wound with an ugly expression on her face.
Wen Jiuze had seen this expression on her face before, when he saw her mother a few months ago. It meant that she wanted to cry but couldn't.
Xue Ling did not rinse her eyes with water to pretend tears like she did last time. She was in a state of confusion at the moment.
She* didn't remember what she was going to do, she could only feel a huge fear and powerlessness rushing through her body.
How on earth can a dead body produce these emotions, and why does it still carry the emotions of the living in a half-dead state?
She paced around in a panic, her eyes began to wander, and her hands were clenched into fists in front of her chest.
She thought that she had to come to the Northern Base to follow Wen Jiuze.
She had insisted that he come.
If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have encountered this. If they were still near the New Fourth Base...
Wen Jiuze reached out and grabbed her stiff hands: "What are you doing? You're like a broken robot."
He held her hand tightly and said the same annoying words as usual.
Xue Ling didn't control her strength and her fingers pierced his hand. She was startled and looked at his hand again, trying to pull her hand out.
Wen Jiuze held it tightly and said, "Too many lice don't itch, too many debts don't worry...why don't you beat me up now, use your claws or bite me."
Xue Ling suddenly pulled her hands away, reached forward and hugged him tightly, her head banging against his chest.
She hugged him and jumped twice, unable to vent her emotions. She looked up at him again, made a strange sound, and scratched his back with her sharp fingers.
When Wen Jiuze was knocked into her arms, he also reached out to hug her and touched the wounds on her arms and waist.
"I know, I know, you feel bad, I know, it's okay..." He lowered his head to Xue Ling's temple and kissed her slightly dry hair.
"It's time for us to go." He let go of Xue Ling only after he felt that she had calmed down a little.
He used a crowbar and some tools to get the wheel out of the pit.
Because Xue Ling was so restless, he tried to be even calmer. Before leaving, he even drained all the gas from another car and started it again.
Xue Ling climbed into the car as if she had lost her strength. She took her own writing board and wrote on it: "Vaccine."
Because my hands were shaking, my handwriting was shaking too.
Her eyes were like the embers of a fire, igniting a spark of hope.
Wen Jiuze did not comment on this. He knew very well that it was too late.
To get the vaccine, they have to go to the Beizheng base, which is a long way away.
Not to mention how to obtain such a precious vaccine, the problem before him is that he has no time. If he cannot get to the Beizheng Base, he will be completely turned into a zombie.
Xue Ling also knew this, she was just too flustered and forgot it.
Wen Jiuze did not remind her. He came over from the driver's seat and hugged her again, saying:
"If we go in this direction, we should be able to reach Huaixi City. There were many people there before the end of the world, and I heard it was very prosperous."
So now it is one of the cities with the most zombies. Basically no one will go there to scavenge. It is the zombie city closest to here and is not in the same direction as the Beizheng Base.
"How about we live in Huaixi City in the future?" Wen Jiuze said.
He estimated that he could not make it to Huaixi City, but he calculated the gasoline and thought it should be enough.
"Speaking of which, you are not going to abandon me halfway when I am not aware, are you?" Wen Jiuze smiled a little and said seriously, "Don't think I am a nuisance, it will be very useful to have me with you in the future."
"For example, if you are too thin and there are too many zombies on the street and you can't squeeze through them, you can let me lead the way."
"If you run into someone, I can help you attract their attention so you can escape, right?"
"Other zombies go alone, but you are so impressive with your pet."
"Xue Ling...you can't abandon me, understand?"
Xue Ling sat in her usual passenger seat and wanted to yell, run around on the road, or lie on the ground and not get up.
But none of these could vent her emotions anymore; she was like a blocked volcano.
Wen Jiuze, this bastard, still wanted her to give a response and agree to his request at this time.
"Speak up, you won't agree to such a small matter?"
Xue Ling didn't want to talk to him, and he wouldn't be able to speak in the future. He would just follow her and howl. She had to get used to it in advance.
Wen Jiuze suddenly said, "What will you do if no one takes you to the base to charge your phone? You won't be able to use your tablet."
He said to himself again: "Huaixi City is so prosperous, there should be generators and solar chargers, you can go and look for them."
Xue Ling didn't want to listen to him.
But he just kept talking.
"Live in Huaixi City from now on. Don't go out casually. It's such a big place, enough for you to travel."
"There is also a museum in Huaixi City. If you have time, you can take me to visit the museum."
Xue Ling finally couldn't help it, she grabbed Wen Jiuze's hand and squeezed into the driver's seat.
Wen Jiuze stopped talking, lifted her up and sat her on top of him, and the two of them squeezed into the seat together.
Xue Ling hugged his neck, feeling his usually warm skin slowly losing temperature, and couldn't help but hug him tighter.
Wen Jiuze glanced at the road ahead, held her with one hand and said, "I feel like you'll strangle me to death before I turn into a zombie."
Xue Ling let go of him, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard in the face.
She hated him especially now, even more than when he broke up with her for no apparent reason a few years ago.
Wen Jiuze was stunned for a moment, but he quickly curled his lips and said, "Hitting someone in the face, is that so cruel?"
Xue Ling didn't hold back when she slapped him, and her mouth was broken.
However, there was no bleeding from the wound, only a little dark red liquid slowly overflowed and quickly solidified.
Wen Jiuze looked down at her, held the back of her head with his palm, and kissed her on the lips.
"I can still feel the pain now. Otherwise, can you wait until I turn into a complete zombie before hitting me?"
Xue Ling's sharp teeth clenched and he raised his hand again.
Wen Jiuze pulled her hand down and kissed her again.
The car passed through the wilderness and the dilapidated town, and the bright sky gradually burned.
The gorgeous sunset on a sunny day is Xue Ling's favorite scenery during this period.
Leaning on Wen Jiuze's chest, the orange sunset reflected on the car window fell into Xue Ling's eyes. She listened quietly to the slow heartbeat in Wen Jiuze's chest.
His heart rate has dropped below normal. When did it start? Was it just after sunset?
His life was slipping away, but she had used up all the intense emotion in the previous hours, so she no longer reacted to it, just listened, as if she were feeling the last rays of the sun.
The sunset faded and their car drove into the night.
Wen Jiuze was silent for a while and then said, "You have to drive the road behind by yourself. Do you know the way?"
“…”
"Probably, you're so awesome." She could walk from Yu City to Anxi City by herself.
"If your car stalls on the road, do you know what to do?"
“…”
"That's fine. If the car breaks down, we can just walk to Huaixi City."
His speech began to become slurred.
What does it feel like to become a zombie? It is to clearly feel your blood turning cold and your brain starting to solidify as if it were rusted.
I didn't feel any pain in my chest or the wounds all over my body, but there was a pain somewhere inside my body, but I couldn't tell where exactly.
There are also many thoughts that I was thinking about the moment before, and the next moment they seemed to be wiped out and turned into solidified blanks.
During the silent time, Wen Jiuze looked at the dark road ahead and forgot who he was.
Occasionally he looked down and saw Xue Ling, then he suddenly woke up, remembered that she was Xue Ling, and remembered that he still had something to say.
"Xue Ling, was it the same when you turned into a zombie?"
It shouldn't be different. She turned into a zombie while she was conscious, so it might be harder for her to accept than it was for him.
Xue Ling, who had been silent for a long time, finally reached out and took over the steering wheel, and Wen Jiuze unknowingly let go of his hand.
She sat up straight next to Wen Jiuze and turned on the car lights.
The two beams of light shine far away.
Wen Jiuze's eyes turned dark red and his skin began to turn blue. His face, which usually wore a careless smile, became stiff and expressionless.
After staring at Xue Ling for a while, he slowly put his arms around her waist.
"... Ling." He should be calling her name, but his last name sounded a little unclear.
The dark night outside pressed down like his heavy body.
Xue Ling took out a pair of silver handcuffs from the storage box beside her seat and handcuffed one hand each on herself and Wen Jiuze's hand.
Wen Jiuze's hand moved, causing the chain to make a crisp sound.
"It's not that...if you don't wear it...you'll be like a dog and you won't be able to run?"
But she is such a person who is not hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.
A few years ago, when they first met, they had no relationship. Whenever she saw Wen Xuan beating him, she would look at him with a worried look that showed she couldn't bear it.
During that time, she often went to his school, as if she was looking for him.
When I see him, I will subconsciously pay attention to whether he is injured, but I will just look at him and leave, never talking to him.
Wen Jiuze once received anonymous medicine, but unfortunately she was seen delivering the medicine, so the anonymity became meaningless.
She was the only one who thought she had kept it a secret.
Zeng Wen Jiuze didn't understand why she felt sorry for him.
Later I found out that it was the only way for lovers.
He liked her because she taught him to like her. Wen Jiuze was just learning from her, and then he found it easier and easier to feel sorry for her.
After adjusting the handcuffs on his wrists, Wen Jiuze slowly sat up straighter.
Don't want to die.
I don't want her to live with a moving corpse like this in the future.
At daybreak, Xue Ling drove the car onto a cleared road.
Wen Jiuze behind him didn't move or make a sound for a while.
"Ah." Xue Ling suddenly shouted.
"Ouch." The second sound was softer.
Wen Jiuze, who had his head resting on her shoulder, suddenly moved as if awakened and leaned his head against her cold face.
He said "morning" vaguely.
Wen Jiuze had survived several life-and-death situations, but he relied on his own perseverance to persevere.
But this time, he felt a foreboding of death.
How long can you hold on? Can you last until the sun comes out?
There was a light at the end of the road. Xue Ling saw clearly that it was a temporary campsite. A convoy was resting on the roadside. They were blocking the road for unknown reasons.
If it were in the past, Xue Ling would have taken a detour to avoid conflict with others, but today she did not dodge or avoid. She drove towards the roadblock blocking the road, ready to crash through it.
Someone came out of the camp with a weapon, made a conspicuous signal, and shouted: "No passing ahead, please pull aside."
Xue Ling didn't listen.
There were many people and vehicles in this temporary camp, and the guards were well-armed and very vigilant.
On the eve of dawn, in a white car in the camp, Wen Yi was still awake, comparing several sets of data.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside, interrupting Wen Yi's thoughts. She did not get up to check what was going on, but soon there was a knock on her car door.
A soldier at the door said, "Dr. Wen, there are zombies outside the camp."
Wen Yi looked tired and a little cold: "So? You can't handle it?"
The young soldier shook his head and said, "No, the zombies came here by car."
