The alarm distances of the alarms made by Lin Man are limited. Only the pair in Lin Man and Lin Cheng's hands can truly ignore the distance. Guan Guan said that this is because she uses it personally, while the effectiveness of the others will of course be greatly reduced because they have been used by another user.
In short, when communications were interrupted, if Lin Cheng wanted to pass on a message to the country, he could only do so through Lin Man.
Lin Man felt that the responsibility was great, so she said goodbye to her mother and jumped onto the back of the big white bird. The bird flapped its wings twice, and Lin Man felt her vision blurred. Dayan Mountain had become a small mound left far behind.
This speed... is a bit scary.
People on Dayan Mountain came out to bask in the barely warm sunshine today, but they felt a shadow flash past their heads. They didn't have time to see what it was and thought they were dazzled.
But some people noticed: "Look, does that cloud look like an airplane?"
"where?"
"It's drifting too fast, it's already far away."
The world in Lin Man's eyes had turned into chaos. She grabbed some of Guan Guan's spiritual energy and really wrapped herself up like cotton to prevent herself from freezing to death. Guan Guan's body was very thick and she could not see below. However, the flowing clouds next to him were rapidly sweeping back and she could not see anything clearly.
A few minutes later.
"What is that?" Lin Man saw some black spots in front of her. After a few seconds, the black spots became bigger and she could see clearly that they were planes from the Reunion Base.
Didn’t we say we set out an hour ago? Wouldn’t it be too easy to catch up?
Lin Man wondered whether she should go over to find her father and tell him, but she quickly dismissed the idea. It would take a lot of time just to go over and explain, so it would be better to fly quickly and get there earlier.
While Lin Man was thinking, Guan Guan had already flown over the iron birds and left them behind without mercy.
"Lin Man, the birds you humans created are too slow. Are they out for fun?" His tone was very arrogant.
Lin Man said unhappily, "The spiritual energy you have now is still provided by humans."
"……All right."
When Guan Guan's wings are spread out, they are about a hundred meters long. With a slight flap, it can fly a long distance. After more than twenty minutes, Lin Man found that only one third of the distance was left. Then, when he crossed a hill, a large group of birds suddenly appeared.
Zombie bird.
There are so many zombie birds in this group. I don’t know how they can fly so high. They rush towards Guan Guan madly, with sharp beaks and claws, and make strange noises, trying to tear their prey into pieces.
Guan Guan narrowed his eyes, which were as big as water tanks, and snorted coldly. The momentum of the fairy bird was immediately revealed. The zombie birds all paused, and then those that were close fell down one by one, while those that were farther away fled in fear. Those that didn't have time to escape were crushed by Guan Guan flapping his two big wings, turning into black meat patties, which continued to fall down cracklingly.
Lin Man had no chance to attack at all. She was shocked: "Guan Guan, are you so powerful now?"
"Yeah, that's right!" Guan Guan said proudly for a moment, "The main thing is that these are birds. I'm a fairy bird. Once I show my power, there is no bird I'm not afraid of."
Lin Manxin thought that if there was a group of birds under the control of Guan Guan, he could create a large army of birds. Unfortunately, there were only a few birds to be seen now, and they were all dead.
The further they flew, the dimmer the sunlight became. Lin Man realized they were flying with the sun behind them. As they flew from afternoon to early morning, they were almost at their destination. She asked Guan Guan to slow down, and she clung to its edge, looking down and pointing in the direction: "Over there, so many people have died."
She could see many corpses lying all over the place, and the inside and outside of the city were stained with blood. The yellow-haired people were tidying up and cleaning up, their movements were very slow, and the city looked a bit lifeless.
There were not many people with black hair. Lin Man was a little anxious. Logically speaking, Lin Cheng was in this place, and this city should be the legendary City of S. Why didn't he see any Chinese people?
“Ah, I found it!”
It was on a low hillside. There was a dark figure sitting lazily against a big rock, facing the rising sun. Before Lin Man could see the man's face clearly, he recognized him as Lin Cheng.
"Lin Cheng!"
Lin Cheng felt as if he were hallucinating. Perhaps his time was up, otherwise why would he hear that little girl's voice? It's said that when a person is about to die, they recall the most important moments of their lives and think of the people they care about most. He didn't have any concerns, so he felt very calm. So, didn't this auditory hallucination make sense?
But the next moment, something fell from the sky and landed beside him. He turned around and was stunned.
Lin Man smiled and said, "I found you!" She glanced at him. Nothing was wrong, just a little dirty, his hair a little messy, and his face a little pale. He looked like he had been up all night for several days. He would be fine after a few days of rest. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her pupils suddenly froze and she froze in place: "Lin, Lin Cheng..."
Lin Cheng stood up from the big rock he was leaning against. His expression gradually changed from calm to astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. He even made a move that was completely out of character for him and rubbed his eyes with his hands. "Lin Man, is it really you? Why are you here?"
He subconsciously put his left hand behind his back, but Lin Man had already seen it. In fact, she didn't need to see it, she could smell it.
Lin Cheng had a strong smell of zombies on his body, firstly because of the dirty marks on his clothes, and secondly, because he was infected.
"How did it become like this?" She walked towards him, and Lin Cheng immediately stood up and backed away: "Don't come near me!"
He knew she had discovered it by looking at Lin Man's expression. He smiled bitterly and stretched out his left hand. A piece of his palm had been cut off by him, but the whole hand still looked different.
That's not the color of human skin.
"I'm infected." He smiled and said, "I was waiting to die here, but I didn't expect you to come. Is it because of the alarm?"
Lin Man nodded, looking at his hand, not knowing what to say. No one infected with the virus could escape. Lin Man had always considered herself lucky. Since she was old enough to understand, she had only had her mother as a relative. People around her had also been infected with the virus, committing suicide or being killed in despair, while their surviving relatives cried as if the sky had fallen.
She had never experienced that kind of pain.
But now, the pain is not that severe yet, but she feels uncomfortable and confused when she looks at the smile on Lin Cheng's face. Among so many assumptions, she has never thought that Lin Cheng was infected. Is he waiting to die by looking at the sun here?
"How did it get like this? Where are the others?"
"Something happened." Lin Cheng briefly recounted the whole incident and asked Lin Man, "Does the commander know you're here?"
Lin Man shook his head: "I didn't tell him, but he left earlier than me, just not as fast as me. He should be here in another six or seven hours."
"That's good." Lin Cheng said, "Xiao Man, I don't know how you got here, and I won't ask. Can you go over to Fan Xuan and the others and help keep an eye on them? I'm a little worried that something might happen over there."
Lin Man frowned, feeling inexplicably angry and irritated: "You still have the mind to worry about others, the one you need to worry about most right now is yourself!"
Lin Cheng gave a bitter smile and sat down on a large rock: "What else do I have to worry about?"
Lin Man was pissed off. Those people were infected because they were greedy and careless. What did he have to do with it? He had to go back and find the culprit. Even if he wanted revenge, couldn't he wait? Her father had brought people here, so why did he need to go it alone? Now he was getting himself into trouble!
She pointed at his hand and said, "Is there nothing you can do? I think this is the only thing that's rotten now. Why don't you just chop it off? Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Cut off the tail to survive?'"
Lin Cheng shook his head. "I used my supernatural powers to suppress it, so it didn't spread. In fact, the virus has already infected my entire body, just like Fan Xuan and the others. But they can only last a few days. For me, the virus has directly entered my bloodstream, so I should only have a few hours."
He spoke calmly, as if he was saying that he would be off work and going to bed in a few hours. Lin Man was extremely angry at him and wanted to hit him: "Lin Cheng, you really pissed me off! You're going to die, don't you know?"
Lin Man shouted this, and her eyes were filled with tears. It is not true that her feelings for Lin Cheng are deep, but they have been in constant contact for the past year or two. Even in the past six months, they have been in touch with each other through letters every month. Whenever Lin Man gets some fresh food, she thinks of sending him a portion. It has become a habit. It can be said that Lin Cheng is the third most important person in Lin Man's mind besides her mother and father.
But now this person is about to die!
He himself acted as if nothing had happened.
Lin Man felt so depressed that he almost died. The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. He also felt inexplicably wronged. He squatted down sadly and even wanted to roll on the ground and cry.
Seeing her eyes redden, Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment. He squatted down from a distance and said after a moment of deliberation, "Actually, I am prepared. When I come out to carry out a mission like this, sacrifices are inevitable. Many people have died before me. Without awareness, I would not accept this mission."
"It's inevitable! If you hadn't turned back, nothing would have happened! Aren't you worried about the four bases with so many people over there with Fan Xuan? You are the only one among the four captains who is not infected. Why don't you stay there alone? Aren't you afraid that when you are not watching, all the infected ones will turn into zombies, or one of them will be so stupid as to kill all the uninfected ones?" Lin Man said angrily. He really wanted to beat him up. What was going on in his mind?
Lin Cheng rubbed his nose. "Don't I want to figure this out and see if there's any way to save them?" He sighed. "Let's not talk about the people in those three bases for now. As for the people in the Reunion Base, I've brought them out, so I have a responsibility towards them. I have to think of a solution."
It turned out that there was no solution, and instead it stimulated the Zombie King, turning the city into a living hell ahead of time. In that situation, how could he leave? How could he sit back and watch the Zombie King escape?
Of course, they wanted to kill him while he was weak, but that person was too tough. He killed the zombie king with the help of his comrades. This time, the people from Si City were not very useful and their tacit understanding was not high enough, so the fight was particularly difficult.
Lin Cheng naturally didn't want to die, but at this point, what else could he do besides let it go? He watched Lin Man grieve and rage for him, feeling a mixture of sadness and relief. He had few family or friends in his life, and the only one he could consider half a relative was Lin Zhongrong. Now that he had someone else who genuinely felt sorry for him, his life was worthwhile.
"You do have a sense of responsibility." Lin Man snorted coldly. He remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he wiped his eyes and stood up, saying fiercely, "Are you hungry? Let me take you to eat!"
