Chapter 168 Chaotic Night
There were too few armored vehicles patrolling the quarantine area, and too many infected people. In addition, they were afraid of attracting more infected people, so they dared not turn on the searchlights. The visibility was limited, and it was impossible to clean up all the people in a short time.
When Min Min was awakened, You Xi had already taken out six sets of protective clothing, windshields and 3M masks, and asked everyone to put them on quickly.
After all six people were protected, she took out two bayonets and a long dagger, and gave them to Fang Lei, Min Min and Min Cong respectively, and then gave Fang Lei and Min Min two magazines.
"Fang Lei and Xiao Min follow me, Xiao Min's mother and Xiao Cong are in the middle, and my brother is the last."
Fang Lei put the clip in his pocket: "I'll be the last!"
"Don't worry, my brother is not that weak." You Xi said, and also took out a gun and two clips from his backpack and handed them to "You Zhengqing", and sent a message to him in his heart: There are too many infected people, so save energy as much as possible.
[Yes. ]
Before leaving the tent, You Xi reminded again: "There are too many people here, remember that the six of us must not disperse. If this quarantine area can't hold up tonight, we will escape, don't be stubborn."
Several people nodded, put on their backpacks, and held their weapons tightly.
Outside the tent, it was already a mess. The people were like fresh bait trapped in an iron cage, with nowhere to escape and could only tremble.
"Damn it! We'll be in the security zone in half a day, what's going on now!?" Some people were afraid, while others were both afraid and angry. The man dismantled the poles and long iron nails of the tent, tied them up and transformed them into weapons. While his anger was rising, he came to the iron net and poked directly at the infected.
The infected were still smart and knew how to dodge. It took the man a long time to poke the bloody and slippery neck of an infected person, but it was a pity that it was not a fatal injury. The other party seemed to feel no pain at all, but stared at him and stretched his hand into the iron net desperately.
The mesh strangled the infected person's arm, scraping off a layer of flesh and blood. The blood mixed with the minced meat dripped onto the grass inside the iron net, and the man almost vomited.
He subconsciously took two steps back, but at the same moment, someone took a step forward, a sharp knife flashed, and the narrow and long Tang sword directly cut into the forehead of the infected person, and then pulled out in an instant. The
person holding the knife was wrapped in protective clothing. Judging from her figure, she should be a girl. Next to her were two young people wearing the same protective clothing, one tall and one short, one holding a long dagger in one hand and a bayonet in the other.
Although their movements were not as fast as the girl holding the Tang sword, they were much cleaner and neater than him. If they couldn't stab into the forehead, they would try to stab into the eye sockets. If that didn't
work, they would directly stab into the opponent's mouth. In a short while, several infected people were killed outside the iron net in this area.
"Poke the eyes and mouth, that's where it's easier to succeed. Move quickly, and it's best to sneak up on them. Although they still have wisdom, they're not particularly smart." The girl with the Tang sword turned her head to look at him, and then continued to clear the infected outside the iron net.
She didn't stay in one area to clean up. She moved to where there were more infected outside the iron net, so as to disperse and quickly relieve the pressure of the iron nets everywhere.
The man and woman followed her closely, keeping a half-step distance from her. Behind these three people were two shorter figures, one of whom looked like a child, and the other looked like a middle-aged or elderly person. The child also held a bayonet in his hand, but was alert to the other chaotic crowd in the iron net.
Behind them was a tall and slender figure. The man walked at the end. He seemed calm and composed, but he kept the five people in front of him in his sight and was alert to all the situations around him.
This was a team with strict offensive and defensive skills. The man stared at the six people and couldn't help but feel jealous.
He had many companions on his way to here, but the end of the world was dangerous and people's hearts were complicated. It was hard to find a companion that he could trust wholeheartedly and could rely on.
The man held his breath and followed the other party's instructions to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. He successfully drove the long iron nail into the eye of an infected person. The opponent struggled twice and slid down. He quickly pulled back his homemade weapon, thought of the opponent's weapon, and complained again: "Damn it, how did these kids bring that kind of weapon into the quarantine area?"
The man cleared out several infected people and found that it was very safe to launch a sneak attack through the iron mesh. He immediately turned around and yelled at the other refugees who were huddled together: "Stop shaking! If you are a man, come and fight together! If you shrink in fear, can your family survive? As long as this layer of iron mesh falls, everyone will die!"
Someone moved, the first one followed by the second, and everyone followed suit, dismantling tent poles and long iron nails, quickly making weapons and starting to clear the infected outside the iron mesh.
While the "low" quarantine area was saving itself, the iron net of the "dangerous" quarantine area with the most refugees collapsed. The blood-red figure found a breakthrough and rushed in excitedly. The scene suddenly became chaotic, with the screams of refugees everywhere.
The armored vehicles originally distributed in the three quarantine areas immediately went to the "dangerous" quarantine area to suppress the fire. The infected outside the other two quarantine areas seemed to feel that the thing that shocked them the most had left, and one by one they gathered from the scattered areas towards the loosest part of the iron net.
Youxi put the Tang sword back into the scabbard, reached out to the backpack in front of her (Xingwu Warehouse) to take out the gun with a silencer, and said to the person next to her: "Change weapons!"
The iron net to the southeast was pushed by the infected people who gathered. Youxi took the lead and killed two infected people in seconds. Suddenly, her heart shrank, and her crisis instinct was instantly activated.
Without thinking, she immediately raised her left hand, and several ice bricks appeared in front of her palm. The next second, it unfolded into a solid ice shield, covering her and the five people beside her.
Pah pah pah pah - four bullets hit the ice shield, embedded in the ice layer a little, cracked the ice surface, and were quickly eliminated by Youxi. She quickly looked in the direction where the bullets were fired.
They were not coming from outside the iron net, but from the inside. She scanned the crowd, her pupils shrank slightly, and threw a bottle of [High Temperature Perfume] to Tongzi, then left the ice shield to the five people beside her: "Be careful, remember to follow my brother, and retreat first if you can't. I have a way to contact him."
After she finished speaking, she quickly rushed out.
In her mind, the voice of the system came.
[Be careful! The fact that he can survive is weird in itself! ]
Youxi: I will be very careful, and you should be careful too. Try to save energy. I will come back immediately after I deal with him!
During the few seconds of conversation, Youxi took out the ice brick again and turned it into a protective layer to wrap herself, and then ran quickly to the other end of the isolation area, and accurately intercepted a completely black figure in the chaotic crowd.
The other person was wearing all black clothes, a black hat and a mask, almost blending into the night. You Xi subconsciously felt something was wrong because she smelled a strong smell of blood.
There were infected people everywhere outside the iron fence, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, so she didn't notice it before she intercepted the other person.
The other person's head, which was originally lowered, was slightly raised, and a pair of red eyes were revealed under the brim of the hat.
His eyes were different from those of ordinary infected people, and also different from the eyes of the intelligent mutant she had seen in the hospital before. The whites of his eyes did not change color, but the originally black pupils turned blood red.
The blood-red eyes made him look more like an animal. Being stared at by the other party was like being stared at by a poisonous snake. The cold, inorganic eyes made her alert again.
"Long time no see, Youxi." The other party spoke, his voice was hoarse and broken, rough and unpleasant.
"Not long." She responded, and shot without hesitation. Regardless of whether the other party is an infected person now, or whether he called her name, she would never forget the other party's sneak attack just now.
He still didn't give up, and still wanted to kill her.
On the battlefield, there was no room for narration.
The opponent was extremely fast, deploying a protective arc to block and retreating at the same time.
When he retreated, she stepped forward, constantly pulling the trigger, wanting to consume all the defense points of his shield.
Lin Wu and Tang Yatong had both explained to her in detail the activation and consumption of the shield, and the defense time of this shield depended entirely on the points of the activated defense card. She had already destroyed his bound weapon before, and the defense card activated on the weapon was also invalid.
This should be the defense card activated on the new bound weapon, so now it’s time to fight for star coins (points) to see if her weapon can consume all his defense cards before her own ice control ability runs out.
.One
of the magazines was emptied, and You Xi directly took out an [Air Hair Dryer] with a full charger and continued to shoot at him without thinking.
This time, Lou Rui obviously felt the difference. Every attack from the opponent would consume a lot of his defense points. The
reason why he survived that day was because his heart was naturally longer to the left than that of a normal person, and the attack from "You Zhengqing" did not completely cut off his life.
But he fell from the ninth floor covered in blood, and in a city full of infected people, the result was self-evident.
He fell into the circle of the infected and was soon bitten. After escaping from death, he noticed something was wrong with his body. He took out a lot of treatment cards, but he couldn't stop the virus from invading...
When he woke up again, he found that he was still conscious and could still use the space and the prop cards inside, but his body had undergone terrible changes.
His skin was constantly rotting and itching unbearably. If he pulled it, it would fall off in pieces. It could be repaired with treatment cards, but it would soon rot again...
The color of his pupils changed, his voice became hoarse, and he was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood.
But these physical changes were not the most terrible. The most terrible thing was that he found that he could no longer contact the system, nor could he open the mall to buy new cards.
He didn't know if he was still a tasker. He felt scared and terrified, so he decided to complete his system mission in this world.
He chose the manager of the Pianshan Refuge, but the other party was very smart, hypocritical, and cowardly, but he laid a net and caught him at the critical moment.
After that, it was a day and night experiment...
Fortunately, he is now like this, and his perception of pain has been reduced to the minimum, until that day when it rained heavily, he found an opportunity to escape from the machine that controlled him when he accidentally collided with a giant infected person.
He can feel that the human consciousness in his body is being swallowed up by the beast consciousness bit by bit.
He is not an intelligent evolutionary mutation, but he has survived until now with the help of the treatment card.
He didn't know how much time he had, but he knew very well that even if he killed Youxi, he couldn't return to the system tower.
But he still came, and he still wanted to kill her - before she completely lost her human consciousness, he wanted to hold her back, break her wings, and keep her in this world forever to accompany him...
Bang, bang, bang -
[Air Hair Dryer]'s shooting never stopped, and soon consumed his defense points. He began to dodge around, and several times she almost shot ordinary people.
The situation around him became more chaotic. A big hole had been torn in the iron net in the southeast direction, and the infected people poured in one after another, causing all the refugees to flee in their direction.
Because the door was in this direction, they wanted to escape from the quarantine area, so they all subconsciously rushed here.
She silently changed the weapon in her hand to a Tang sword. There were too many people here, and cold weapons were more suitable for close combat.
The other party looked at the Tang sword in her hand, and his dodging body paused, as if a little surprised.
He remembered this sword. In the world they knew, this sword belonged to Lou Rui, but he didn't like weapons that were too long at the time, so he changed it to a bayonet. This Tang sword was also given to him by Lou Rui's mother Lou Lili when they first met.
Later, they were attacked on the road, and it was the opponent who used this Tang sword to save Lou Lili...
Scenes of past memories flashed before his eyes. If possible, he really wanted to go back to that time, when he was still a passionate young man, when he was still a human being...
The opponent's attack was already in front of him, he dodged to the side, but his pupils suddenly dilated: "Be careful--"
When fighting, You Xi would maximize her five senses. No matter where the attack came from, she would sense it at the first time. Almost at the same time Lou Rui opened her mouth, her Tang sword had changed direction and hit the ground heavily. Then, with this force, she jumped high and dodged the attack from the side.
She rolled on the ground and half-knelt to stabilize her body. A sharp ice sword shot out from her palm and accurately cut into a moving afterimage.
The body of the infected was pinned to the ground by the ice sword. It kept waving its limbs to get up, but it couldn't get rid of the ice sword on its body.
This was actually a speed-type mutant infected. If she hadn't strengthened her physique four times and had a similar speed, she would have fallen into the opponent's trap today.
You Xi didn't hesitate and immediately stepped forward to make up for it, and broke the infected's head with one grab.
She turned around and saw only the back of Luo Rui running away, but his direction was not outside the iron fence, but to the other side of the isolation area - that was where Xing Min and the others were!
Youxi: Be careful of Luo Rui's sneak attack -
she just called in her mind, and then she heard a huge explosion from another part of the quarantine area. Youxi's heart skipped a beat and she ran towards that place at full speed.
She knew that Xing Min had a shield that could withstand such an explosion, but this level of attack would consume a lot of his energy. In this place full of infected people, once he fainted, the consequences would be disastrous.
You Xi released all her speed, almost turning into a shadow, and instantly rushed behind the black figure, stabbing the opponent's body with the Tang sword in her hand. At the same time, the protective ice layer on her body turned into countless sharp ice spikes, which stabbed deeply into his body along with the Tang sword.
Before the opponent's blood spurted out, she quickly retreated and left the ice spikes in the opponent's body.
Last time he was stabbed in the heart by "You Zhengqing" and was able to escape, this time she would not repeat the same mistake. The opponent was stabbed into a hedgehog by her in an instant, lying on the ground and unable to move.
After the smoke of the explosion dissipated, several people were revealed in the light golden light arc, safe and sound.
The other four people were in a panic. The man who had opened the protective layer was as pale as paper. He barely held on for a few seconds. After she came forward, he gently fell into her arms.
Not far away, the person lying on the ground moved his fingers with difficulty and pulled off the mask on his face.
Under the mask was a rotten and bloody face. The other party looked at her, pulled the corners of his lips, and revealed a self-deprecating smile: "..."
After the last death, he lived for so many more years, but when he faced death again, he was still afraid...
- I'm sorry, I wanted to hurt you.
- In this world where the strong prey on the weak, I don't know how to stick to my original intention...
- If you can do it, I hope you will keep persisting, don't be like me...
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing, just looked at her quietly until he died completely.
**
The battle in the quarantine zone triggered a chain reaction. That night, more and more infected people rushed out of the fallen zone.
Not only did they surround the quarantine zone, they also began to rush the guardrails like crazy. The bullets were used up, the weapons were destroyed, and the guardrails were lost one by one.
But the infected people still pressed forward with a terrifying number.
There were people fleeing and scattered everywhere. The infected people pushed down the quarantine nets, climbed over the slopes, and bit and killed everyone they saw.
Normal people and infected people were mixed together. Even the team members with guns and shells didn't know where to shoot.
The city's alarm was sounded, and all TVs, radio stations and mobile phones sounded disaster warning notices.
——Don't go out, reinforce the doors and windows! Stay at home and keep quiet! Take your self-defense weapons and take protective measures! Don't get infected, don't get hurt! Once the wound comes into contact with the blood of the infected person or the blood entrance, family and friends in the same room will immediately tie him up and isolate him...
People in non-fallen areas have been watching the news of the fallen areas with anxiety, praying that the infection will not spread to their own cities.
But this day has finally come.
Near the quarantine area outside the city, Youxi didn't care about hiding it from his companions, and directly released the money transport truck, asking everyone to take off the contaminated protective clothing and equipment, discard them on the spot, and get on the car quickly.
Before this area was completely lost, the money transport truck was started, heading west, and drove away quickly, disappearing into the night.
**
One week later, in the non-destroyed area, Qingcheng.
This is the last city that Youxi and his group passed through before reaching their destination. It is also one of the safer cities in Huaguo.
After the tragedy of the quarantine zone on the border of the collapsed area, the detection method of the Pianshan shelter was finally accepted by the management staff of the non-destroyed area.
