MTL - Dangerous Survival in the Apocalypse-Chapter 24 24th
"An An! An An! An An, how are you An An! An An, can you hear me? An An, please answer me ..."
An anxious scorching shout made Shen Shi'an gradually regain consciousness, his face clinging to the cold and rough ground, his throat and eyes coughing a few times, shaking off a thick layer of cement **** and the ash after the explosion.
As soon as Consciousness returned to the cage, Shen Shi'an quickly checked himself and his surroundings. He should have been fainted by the shock wave generated by the explosion. The whole person fell forward to the ground, and his palms, elbows and knees were slightly scratched. There was a slight tingling on the cheek. I could feel the liquid mixed with the mud and it should have been scratched by some debris. In addition, fortunately, there were no internal injuries.
The surrounding air is filled with flying dust and ashes, the fog is covering the sky, and even the sun is blocked for most of the time. With each inhalation, the coughing ceases, and the nasal cavity is filled with the bitterness of the plaster. greasy. About a hundred meters behind him, the wreckage of a huge passenger plane was soaring through the sky and dust, and the concrete tall buildings collapsed near the wreckage and the blaze of fire rising from the wreckage can be seen faintly.
The shouting in the space is getting more and more urgent, faint already has some nasal sounds, Shen Shian can't take care of the others, and quickly releases the child. By the way, he took a wet towel and carefully covered his mouth and nose. "I'm fine, I'm fine, the plane is fine Hit me. "
The child had shortness of breath and redness in his eyes. When he saw the blood on his face, he became redder, his tone almost broken, "deceptive! You are injured!"
"It's just a minor injury. It was cut by debris. It will be fine soon. I promise you."
The child hugged his neck tightly, staring at the wound and not daring to touch it. The little milky voice trembled slightly. "Then you quickly drink the spiritual spring water, and you will get better soon after you drink it."
"Don't worry, it's not safe here, wait for us first ..."
Shen Shi'an's voice came to an abrupt halt, and a familiar voice made him look back sharply, his gaze piercing the dust behind him like a sharp sword--
In such a short time, a lot of dust and ashes floating in the air fell, and the visibility in the field of vision was greatly improved. The huge explosion and additional disasters caused by the crash of a passenger plane are fatal to living people, but not necessarily to zombies. As long as the brain is not damaged, even if the flesh is sparsely blown, and it is missing from the waist, it must be dragged With the internal organs and broken limbs, crawling along a little bit according to the smell of living people.
There are apparently no survivors in the wreckage of the airliner, but the number of zombies is objective. Those who blow their legs and feet, flesh and blood, can see the internal organs through Sensen's bones, and even those who are burning fiercely ... As long as they can feel the craving for devouring flesh, they will stiffly, slowly, but not Will stop and come out from the blazing fire.
Not only that. After the virus broke out, the towering office buildings quickly turned into huge nests for zombies. At this time, the walls that blocked the nests were destroyed by passenger planes, and tens of thousands of walking dead were like hatched worm eggs, scrambling to leave the nest. The stump of the broken wall squirmed outward.
What's even more frightening is that the noise caused by the crash of the passenger plane is too large, not only in the cabin or office buildings, but where the roaring zombies can be heard in the entire city center, I am afraid they are gathering around the wreckage of the passenger plane.
Shen Shi'an fell into a circular square in front of the city library when he was stunned by the explosion shock wave. It was about 300 meters away from the library door, and there were more than two living people nearby. The survivors who didn't know where they were hiding were damaged by the collapsed office building or explosion because of the hiding place. Now, as long as they can move, they all ran out and ran towards the nearest and most suitable refuge, the city library.
Seeing the weird figure like the tide after clearing the dust, Shen Shi'an's pupils tightened for a while, immediately stood up from the ground, holding Shen Xun in one hand, picking up the thorn stick next to the rolling down, and galloping behind the other survivors.
He is not far from the library. Although the zombies are surrounded from all directions, the speed is slow. As long as he rushes into the library door, it will be safe for the time being.
Shen Xun hugged his neck tightly. Although he was reluctant, he couldn't increase his burden at this time. "... or you can put me in again."
Shen Shi'an clenched his arms tightly, shook his head and said quietly, "No, I'll take you with me this time."
More than one person rushed to the library. According to the current situation, I am afraid to stay in the library for a short period of time. If he sends Shen Xun into the space at this time, it means that it must be at least several days. He released it, and the time flow rate in the space was only one-half of that in reality. Every time he hid for one day, he would endure twice the loneliness and length. He assured the child that he would not shut him alone. In it.
What's more, there were survivors around him, and the children suddenly disappeared from his arms. There was no guarantee that they would not be seen.
The door of the library is an antique iron-clad solid wood door, which is more than four meters high, with the two sides facing away. The vermilion lacquered door is inlaid with a full eight rows of bowl-shaped copper nails, and there are two titles at the edge of the door. The ring-shaped animal vulture looks not only majestic but also extremely strong.
After solving several zombies blocking the forward route, seeing that it was only the last ten meters away from the gate, Shen Shi'an was about to speed up, but found that the two survivors who ran in front of him pushed one side and actually pushed the wooden door away. Locked up internally. At this time, the latest zombies were at least 100 meters away.
The sight was so cold that he took a few steps to stand up and kicked himself on the ring-shaped copper beast, which not only opened the door wide, but even the two survivors also backed up and fell down under the impact of the impact. After crying a few times, he began to yell at "What are you doing! Crazy! The zombies will rush in without closing the door!"
Shen Shi'an ignored them, and turned in a few survivors who sought to escape. He lifted Shen Xun to his back and clasped his neck. He pulled the two wooden doors close together and left a half-meter gap.
The survivors, who were almost shut out by the two men, were shocked. After entering the door, they had to slow down a bit. They had to settle accounts with each other. "Are you still human, ah! Zombies are so far away, why are you anxious to close the door! People did n’t come in, did they want us stuck outside and bitten alive! "
The two were originally trying to find Shen Shi'an to settle accounts, but seeing that more and more survivors ran in afterwards, the emotions were very different, and the tone became unconscious. "There are so many zombies outside, who knows if you can Rush in in front of the zombies? In case the door is closed late, everyone in it will have to die! The two of us are doing the dirty work, but you might as well ask which one of the advanced people does n’t want to hurry up. Close it? Instead of you, you do n’t have to worry about fear and do n’t want to ensure your safety first? You can let the door open wide and wait for others to slowly come in? I ’m afraid it ’s not necessarily. No one is easy, Everyone wants to live, so why stand on the moral high ground and act as a messenger of justice. "
The latecomers became more and more angry, and some people rushed to try to get started, but were stopped by another group of people for a while. One girl and one guy walked beside Shen Shi'an. "Let ’s take care of each one, so we can close the door faster."
Shen Shian nodded and gave up the position of the left door.
When the two people behind him became more and more furious, seven survivors rushed in before the zombies. At this time, the dense army of zombies was only about 50 meters away from the door.
Ordinary people who have never experienced a virus outbreak, if they face the last zombie alone, as long as they can maintain the minimum calmness and calmness, relying on speed, reaction, wisdom and other advantages, they have a great chance to successfully escape or even fight back. But once you meet the mountains, the sea, the crowds of people, and the zombie swarms where you can barely see the border, let alone counter-killing, just the broken limbs with blurry flesh, the cloudy eyes full of death, and the gathering of The crazy roaring towards the sky can make people completely lose their desire to survive \\\ 'hope and confidence.
Seeing that the zombies were getting closer, the two people who were still noisy stopped, this time not only the first batch, but even the latecomers who were almost stopped outside the door could not sit still. "This little Brother, you can close. "
Shen Shi'an's eyes condensed, and the palms of the palms holding the door remained motionless "wait again."
The little **** the left shouted at the door, "Hurry up, everyone, run faster!"
The only few people clenched their teeth, and it really speeded up, one, two, three ... successively rushed in through a gap of more than half a meter wide, or collapsed or were held by others.
The zombies were more than twenty meters from the doorway, and between the gate and the zombies, only the last person remained.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a fat face and a slight blessing, wearing a suit and trousers, and holding a briefcase in his arms that seemed not light. The limbs, which have been lacking in motion for a long time, have long been weak, and they have been shortened a little bit when the speed of zombies is less than half that of normal people.
Shen Shian's lips were tight, and he shouted, "Throw the bag!"
The middle-aged man was so sweaty that when he heard that he subconsciously held his bag tighter.
At first, the two people were going to close the door. They were anxious. "They are still holding their bags when they are dead. Can the bags be worthy of life? Are you going to bury everyone for this kind of people!"
The crowd in the library immediately rioted, urging Shen Shi'an to close more and more people, even the two little girls became hesitant.
Shen Shi'an's voice was so cold that he screamed again at the middle-aged man, "Wait for you to be killed by the zombie!"
The middle-aged person trembled, and finally threw the bag out with a sad face. The briefcase rolled a few times after it landed, and the gold bars and chains and neatly bundled cash were scattered along the way.
After throwing the weight, his speed was a lot faster. When half a meter away from the gate, Shen Shi'an pulled out an arm and grabbed his neckline and yanked the man in, while holding the right hand of the pike. Pushing hard, the young men and women on the left slammed the door shut.
The two-meter-long latch had just been inserted into the groove and locked, and the muffled sound of countless bodies hitting the door exploded. The strong impact force caused the whole door to shake violently, and everyone could not help but exclaimed and took two steps back.
But the load-bearing capacity of the solid wood door was obviously better than Shen Shian expected. After the first wave of tremor, it soon stabilized and remained firm.
The middle-aged man suffocated sharply on the ground, panting, and raised his head while sinking, sinking into Shi'an. Thank you "... Thank you, thank you, Xie Xiaoyou save me ..."
Shen Shi'an looked cold and his tone was even colder. "Don't thank me, you just need to take a step back and I will shut you out to feed the zombies." If you weren't worried that the fresh blood would make the zombies more crowded, this last person would not save.
Before everyone's minds had time to relax, "Bang!" "Bang Bang!" More zombies hit the floor-to-ceiling windows of the library one after another, and the muddy eyes pressed tightly against the glass and flattened, as if walking around their prey. When turning back and forth, even a sticky water stain was left, which is more psychologically uncomfortable than the dark red blood fingerprints.
Immediately, the crowd screamed in a panic.
The city library is a regular hexagonal prism structure. A cylinder is hollowed out in the center of the prism to cultivate plants. Considering the lighting and aesthetic requirements, each side of the hexagonal prism facing the outside is installed with a half-wall transparent glass window.
At first, in order to build the first iconic building in the city, the city government spent a lot of money and spent a lot of time. All the glass is military-grade high-end customization. The mayor once said with a smile at the ribbon-cutting ceremony that "it can't be broken with a cannon." So Shen Shi'an didn't worry too much at first.
Just being surrounded by a crowd of zombies as food, the psychological pressure is too great. In addition, considering that the zombies may still have some vision, it is obviously not wise to lure them with fresh flesh in a room. thing. Moreover, twenty-five years after the city library was built, who knows whether these glasses have exceeded the shelf life.
The proposal to move the bookshelf to cover the floor-to-ceiling windows was unanimously approved. Shen Shi'an reminded him, "Be careful, there are groups of people taking care of each other, and there may be zombies in the bookshelf." The zombies on the first floor should be attracted by the sound of the explosion. Shen Shi'an I encountered a lot on the way to the library, but I didn't see it when I came in. But being cautious is always right.
The library covers a vast area, and the glass windows covering the six walls are not easy. In addition, the bookshelf full of books sinks to unimaginable. Even if there are more than 50 survivors running in, it will be enough. It took more than half an hour to complete this task. By the way, I checked the whole floor again to ensure that no corner was hidden in the zombies and all entrances and exits were safely locked.
After the windows on the six walls were completely covered by bookshelves, the library suddenly darkened. Even with Shen Shi'an's eyesight, it was difficult to see things two meters away. He lifted the child off his back and still hugged it with his right hand. He firmly held the stick in his left hand, trying to identify the position as if he was looking for something.
After the light was blocked, the roar of zombies outside the library, the muffled sound of knocking on the door, and the sound of scratching the glass window by the broken limb became clearer. People can't help asking so many zombies over and over again, are they still likely to go out alive?
As the crowd gradually fell into some kind of uncontrollable panic and despair in the dark, a burst of something that knocked over something suddenly rang from the left side of the reception desk, and even a scream that pierced the eardrum "Ahhhhh! !!! "
Snapped. Shen Shi'an successfully found the light switch, and the entire first floor of the library was instantly bright like daylight.
He followed the screams, his gaze was frozen, and he took several steps to pierce the stabstick into a zombie temple, but it was obviously late. A 30-year-old man next to the zombie had awesome shoulders. Smears of blood appeared.
"He was bitten! He was bitten by a zombie !!"
Before they had time to respond to the reason why the lights would turn on, everyone screamed back and forth, and suddenly a large area was centered around the bitten man, and the shouts were noisy and mixed up.
"He was bitten, and he is about to become a zombie!"
"What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
"Or throw it out, you can't throw it on the first floor, you can throw it on the second floor ..."
The man's face became increasingly white in the discussion of the crowd, and the two battles trembled, looking at Shen Shi'an's eyes full of terror. "Do n’t kill me, I ’m not a monster, I ’m still human, and I do n’t know her. Why did it become a zombie? I was still fine before I entered the door. I beg you, I don't want to die, I don't want to die ... "
Shen Shian's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and he smashed the end of the thorn stick to the ground with a heavy muffled sound, "Quiet!" When the noisy discussion sounded calm, he turned his attention to the bitten man. "You are Say, like us, a survivor who hid after the explosion? Just turned into a zombie? "
The crowd reacted, right? Obviously the first floor had been inspected everywhere. Where did this zombie come from?
Someone stared at the zombies on the ground whose brains had been completely destroyed, and turbid brains leaked from the pierced temples. "Ah! I remember her! She ran in behind me, just when I pushed the bookshelf. Right across from me! "
"I remember, I talked to her!"
"How could she be a zombie, and she couldn't see the wound at all?"
"Maybe it's been bitten in an unobtrusive place ..."
As long as I think that such a person infected with a zombie virus has stayed close to him, and even had a friendly talk with himself, everyone can feel a bitter cold from the soles of the feet straight to the sky cover.
What if the person who was just bitten is himself? What if he was standing next to him when he became a zombie? Can you hide yourself without precaution?
"I'm so damned," someone sighed at the zombie fiercely. "I was bitten by a zombie and didn't say it. I want to take all of us to be buried together!"
"In case there are other people who have been bitten or scratched but do n’t say what to do, if we come here a few times, we may all die here. Could it be that we have escaped the tide of zombies, and we are going to die in the relative In a secure library? "
The fear that "there are likely to be other virus-infected people around" makes all survivors subconsciously spread away, and a large distance away from other people. The eyes of each other looking at each other are all precautions and vigilance.
"I want to say that in order to ensure the safety of everyone, we must check each other. Once we find injuries, all of them were thrown from the second floor of the library together with the one who was just bitten! Anyway, they are all the same kind of zombies, Just going outside and reunited. "The voice was one of the two survivors who wanted to close the door in advance, with a medium oval oval face, looking at and speaking with ease, in fact, both eyes were full of light. And after talking, he turned his attention to Shen Shi'an-the blood stain on his face was so obvious.
As soon as the oval-faced voice fell, someone immediately disagreed. "The previous explosion of the plane was so destructive. Various cement blocks and debris were flying around. How many people can escape alive without being injured? Why do you just Can it be determined whether the zombies were bitten or accidentally bumped and rubbed, in case of a bruise, just because you have to say that half of the people have to be thrown out to feed the zombies? Are he or her mother mentally ill or have a mental illness? "
"I think he is clearly cold-blooded and selfish, and wants to monopolize such a safe haven! At that time, if he wanted to close the door in advance, if not for this brother to help each other, we would all have died a dozen people later!"
"You said that abrasions are abrasions. In case it was really caught by zombies, you don't know anything after you become a monster. We are exposed to danger, but we, why should everyone be buried for you! You This kind of talent is truly selfish and cold-blooded! "
"Old \ 'zi has long seen you displeased, some kind of come over and fight!"
"If you fight, you'll be afraid of anyone. Take off your clothes and prove that there are no wounds, otherwise I'm not interested in practicing with a zombie ..."
Following the problem of closing the door, the people in the library again split into two waves because of the problem of examining the wound, and they were not incompatible with each other. Under the weight of death, the fire's medicine smell became stronger and stronger.
"Everyone calm down first." A gentleman with glasses and a calm temperament stepped out of the crowd. "Please be calm and calm, and think from the perspective of each other. The reason why we will argue is because Fear of zombies and want to do my best to live. Why do we want to live? Because we are all living human beings. We are all fellow human beings, and there are so many cannibalistic monsters outside, why do we need to consume the same room? Calm down first. To solve the current problem, it is not that there is no two way. "
The quarrel was much lower, and someone asked, "What can you do?"
The eyes of the man smiled gently. "At present, there are actually two problems, one is how to deal with the bitten gentleman, and the other is how to deal with the sibs who have wounds on their bodies. Don't panic, let's take it one by one Come. First, "
The eyes of the man turned to the bitten man. The other person had not mutated, but his condition was obviously terrible. "Although I'm sorry, but this gentleman, you should also know that people who have been bitten by zombies will not be spared and will eventually become zombies. But you can rest assured that you can still keep your consciousness now, then you are still human and kill Zombies are legitimate defenses, and killing humans is murder. I believe no one will do such a thing. In this way, we will tie you up first, and after we confirm that you have become a zombie, we will solve it. You can no longer feel the pain, which will not only make you suffer less, but also ensure the safety of everyone. "
Everyone fully accepted this method. The bitten man's lips trembled, and the eye man patiently advised "I promise that you will never hurt you when you have human reason. Think about it if you are bitten by someone else, do you want What about controlling each other's actions? "
The bitten man finally agreed, and he also had to agree that everyone was on the same front in how to deal with him, and who successfully ran to the library, not only Shen Shi'an took a weapon in his hands.
Someone brought in a barrier tape outside the display area and tied the bitten man to a chair, which was very strong to ensure that it could not move completely.
The glasses man continued, "Next, this is the second question. First of all, everyone must check each other, the lesson of the car in front is in front of us, and we have finally come here. Anyone's innocent sacrifice is for others. It ’s a huge loss. But do n’t worry, even if there is a wound on your body, you ca n’t be sure that it will be the zombies. The safest way is to be tied to a chair and restrained, like this gentleman, for several hours. Later, if there is no abnormality in the wound, others will help loosen up and restore freedom. "
There was no natural consent for injuries, and those with wounds were hesitant to hesitate.
The eyes of the man slowed down. "That's the same sentence, please think from the other side's point of view. If you find that someone else is injured, and there is no way to determine whether it was injured by the zombie, before you can determine this problem, you are Do n’t you want to be able to control each other ’s actions? Also, the previous explosion and collapse were too chaotic. Maybe you thought the wound was a bruise, which was actually accidentally made after a brief contact with the zombies, and was tied to a chair for observation. Is the best and most responsible way for everyone. "
The words of the man in the glasses were obviously very persuasive. In the end, the two people reached an agreement on this issue.
After the crowd started arguing and mingling, Shen Shi'an crouched down holding the child, and carefully observed the zombie that suddenly mutated.
He wanted to cover the children's eyes, but he was picked up by the children. "I'm not afraid."
Also, many of the zombies who had just been even more terrible outside were seen.
The survivor who mutated into a zombie is a female, very young, estimated to be in her twenties, lying on the ground with round, muddy eyes, and those eyes only retain the craving for flesh and blood, and no one can belong to humans. Feelings.
She had no obvious wounds on her exposed face, neck, palms and wrists. Shen Shi'an looked closely several times, and finally found a flesh-colored and blue-mutated tooth mark on the outside of her right arm. The leaked blood was blended into the dark sweater fabric and was inconspicuous, so it was not found.
Finding the wound Shen Shi'an expected that what really concerned him was the time it took the survivor to mutate into a zombie.
There must be no doubt that she was bitten before entering the door. It has been nearly an hour since Shen Shi'an entered the door. In other words, it took at least an hour after the other person became infected with a zombie virus to completely mutate into a zombie?
On the first day of the virus outbreak, there was a girl with a twisted braid in the zombies blocked in the door of the dissection room. According to the process described by Wan Feng and Fan Guoping, it took the girl about five minutes to change from being bitten to completely mutated. The longest mutation time of infected persons encountered after Shen Shi'an did not exceed ten minutes.
The reason why Fan Guoping's mutation time can be delayed for several hours is because he has ingested spiritual spring water, so it is not informative.
But the survivor in front of her, her mutation time is actually more than several times the infected person Shen Shian met.
Is it because of individual differences? Or did the zombie virus become less aggressive? Or is the survivor's resistance stronger?
While Shen Shi'an was thinking, others had reached agreement on examining each other's wounds.
Shen Shi'an stood up, and it was no accident that one person's eyes focused on himself.
"Do you want to check me first?"
Shen Shi'an looked the same, put the child down, took out a bottle of mineral water from the schoolbag, moistened his sleeves and wiped the blood on his face, exposing the flawless skin underneath "not my blood."
The scratches on his face and the abrasions on his body healed by running exercises as soon as he entered the door.
After half an hour, the people checked each other out, and several women stepped out of the bathroom.
A total of fourteen people had wounds on their bodies. The rest found all the things that could be tied and tied them to a chair. For safety, they intentionally pulled away from the bitten man a certain distance.
After everything was handled properly, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and found a place to rest for a while. Until then, no one remembered the problem of electric lights. "Isn't the power outage? Is the power restored? Does this mean that the disaster has been brought under control and the country is coming to rescue us soon!"
Shen Shi'an shook his head. "The power was not restored. The library has a backup power system."
Disappointment in the crowd was obvious, and some people questioned "how do you know it's a backup system and not a power recovery?"
Shen Shi'an swept coldly over "You can choose not to believe."
His mother was the administrator of the municipal library before his death. Before Ms. Shen's health was so bad that she had to stay in bed to rest, the municipal library was the place where he spent the longest time outside of home and school.
However, it is obviously unnecessary to explain this to others.
Regardless of whether the power is restored or the backup system plays a role, having sufficient lighting is obviously a good thing for everyone.
Human beings naturally love light, and where there is light, there is hope.
"Maybe rescue will come soon." Someone muttered, leaning on the pillar.
At this moment, the hoarse howling over countless zombies, from a height of hundreds of meters, a booming sound of the helicopter's propellers rotating rapidly.
