Chapter 1

The wheels drove over the cracked and collapsed pavement, the body shrugged violently, and the teenager wearing black-rimmed glasses on the open jeep couldn't help but cover his mouth and dry-heave, and a hand behind him patted his shoulder, accompanied by the teenager's crisp voice: Is everything okay?

    Haku turned around to see the sunny teenager's concerned expression and waved his hand reluctantly. Tuanan smiled and handed over his own water bottle, the hot sun illuminated the light-colored hair of the young man who smiled kindly with golden edges, Ah Xue took the water bottle and was very thankful, the four cars sitting in front and behind are all big old men, in the collapsed post-apocalyptic world full of zombies, such a small thing as motion sickness will not be noticed, only Tuanan and he are of similar age, and he will also be concerned about the condition of his peers.

    Both sides of the road from time to time in the sunlight can be seen in the grass and the ruins of the riot of corpses, I do not know whether it is human or zombie, asphalt road on the white line has long been cracked in the crazy growth of weeds covered, this cold and clear road at the moment there is only a line of four cars, the fleet of vehicles at the forefront of the Imperial Teacher's black Land Rover led by the back of the two pickup trucks loaded with supplies, and finally is responsible for the back of the open-top jeep they! The last one is their open jeep which is responsible for the back of the car. Every month, the coral settlement would send a convoy to other settlements to exchange supplies, and in the meantime, they would hunt for some wild game, and probe for information. However, the closest settlement was more than forty kilometers away from Coral Town.

    ...... Hey do you think this Lou War's convoy has been coming to Zindu too often lately? I don't think it's a good sign! The driver's elder brother was gossiping with his companion on the co-pilot all the way.

    It looks like it's on guard against something, Blue Aowen?

    Impossible. Driver brother shook his head, Lan Aowen you don't know his style, flamboyant as hell! If he's really in Zindu, he's definitely acting like he's afraid that no one in the whole world will not know he's here.

    It's not like you've seen what Blue Aowen's car captain looks like. The other man bared his nose with his hand on the window.

    Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to say it, big man, I've really seen it! Driver brother knocked on the steering wheel with a smug look on his face.

    Even the fat brother beside Ah Xue and the Tounan teenager behind him became interested in these words, leaning forward and saying in unison, What does it look like?

    I didn't come to Zindu before and a few buddies stayed in Huai Gang's satellite city for a while, and at that time I was still planning to cross Huai Gang to come over here, and when I arrived at Huai Gang, I realized that place was a high-risk area, so I was going to give up, but guess what? The driver brother glanced at the excited fat man and teenager on the rearview mirror with relish, I didn't expect Lan Aowen's convoy to come! Crap that's so vast, it's practically a mobile arsenal! We followed Blue Aowen's caravan and crossed Huai Harbor unharmed, you didn't see the scene of the caravan's zombie extermination, they directly used C4 to bombard the zombies, don't be more heartless!

    Ah Xue was a bit concerned when he heard this, Does Lan Ao Wen's convoy allow you to follow it? It wasn't that he wanted to be skeptical, but Lan Aowen's reputation for cold-blooded brutality was just too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it was hard to tell the difference between him and Lou Zhan.

    Yeah, I didn't expect it either, when my buddy went to plead with someone they were very quick to agree. Brother Driver shrugged his shoulders dashingly, Even confiscated his stuff, but our little bit of food and supplies people couldn't even look at it, right?

    Fatty kicked the driver's seat, No way! Just fucking blow it! Blue Aowen would allow you to follow him?!

    The co-pilot's companion also turned around and agreed: Maybe that's one of Lan Aowen's convoys that is specially in charge of doing good deeds so as to accumulate virtue for their masters, and you're lucky enough to bump into it! The two men laughed out loud.

    Holy shit, you guys were the ones who wanted me to say it, and you didn't believe me when I said it!

    But it's possible, Ah Xue flipped out the black notepad from his pocket, flipped through it and held his glasses, At that time, Lan Aowen's two bases were one in Huai Harbor Satellite City and the other one was in Beartooth, although it was possible to take a detour from the Satellite City to the Beartooth, the road was too far away and the attrition was also big, and that road was further north to the Lou War's territory, if the road is cut off by Lou War Lan Ao Wen won't be able to do anything, so from the strategic significance of Huai Harbor, it's not surprising that he wants to open up Huai Harbor. He closed the notepad, feeling that his reasoning was reliable, this book he always carried with him, recording all the big events that happened on this continent in the five years since the biochemical virus broke out, including the one-sidedness of the forces of Lou War and Lan Aowen.

    Yo, still strategic, that guy Wu Ming taught you quite a lot. The youth on the co-pilot raised his eyebrows.

    Ah Xue heard the disdain in the other party's words, immediately embarrassed, too many people in the colony do not like Wu Ming, he and Wu Ming so close only to cause a lot of people's dissatisfaction, very embarrassed to say, I also just wildly guessed ......

    Don't say that, I think you have a point. It was Tounan in the back row who spoke, the light-haired teenager slumped over the seat of his chair to look at him, his smile still genuine and wide.

    The driver's brother also saved a bit of face and turned around, Yeah, yeah, that's the point!

    Focused on talking but did not pay attention to the road ahead, the car passed a sinkhole violently upside down, Ah Xue was upside down buttocks are out of the car seat, at the same time there is something slammed on the back of his feet, that is next to the fat brother did not have time to grab the rifle leaning against the side of the car window, the fat brother stooped down and lifted up the rifle shouted at the driver in irritation: You fucking drive properly ah!

    The driver's brother made an apologetic gesture, and the co-driver's buddy looked back at the last row, Suze are you okay?

    Ah Xue also followed the turn of the head, Tuanan beside the black-haired young man holding the M16 in his arms is hanging down his head and closed his eyes, the bumps on the road and high talk gags seem to have no effect on his state of stillness like stopping the water in general. Ah Xue turned his head back, can still see from the rearview mirror in front of the cold and handsome face that quietly lowered, Su Ze brother is such a person, the usual sense of existence can be as low as the shadow, but once you notice him, that iceberg-like aura and it is difficult to not always pay attention to the people, he looked in the rear-view mirror at Su Ze steady as a mountain like holding an assault rifle arm, the cuffs of the black shirt is half-pulled up, the skin is slightly pale, the line of the small arm is still smooth. Although his skin was slightly pale, the lines of his small arms were still smooth and powerful, completely incomparable to a bookworm like him, who had no power in his hands.

    The driver brother whispered to the fat man behind him as he drove, You learn from others.

    Go! Can I compare myself to a male god!

    Tuanan immediately tapped the front seat and interjected, Yes, man god! You feel the same way, Fatty?

    I learned that from you, Fatty turned back and knocked Tu Nan a chestnut, glanced at Su Ze who was concentrating on sleeping, lowered his voice and said, You said that you flattered to get close to you, but also do not Xing so ruthless ah, just because you shouted at others God of Man all day, this nickname in the settlement are spreading, I'm Su Ze I'm embarrassed to death! I'm Suze, I'm embarrassed to death, he must hate to find a hole in the ground to drill in!

    Brother Suze won't mind. Tunan smiled in disbelief.

    How do not mind, people just do not say just! Fatty quite sympathetic to shake his head, you see you even sit in a car to rely on his side, make Suze all the way can only pretend to sleep words do not want to say with you, I see ah, you this life do not want him to teach you to snipe ......

    It won't be, I have such a good temper, doesn't everyone like me, Brother Suze will definitely be touched by me. The teenager leapt and flicked his wrist, smiling easily.

    Fatty face sighs in awe, Seen narcissism, have not seen narcissism like you so justified ......

    .

    Thick woods appeared on both sides of the road, the bushes almost coming up to the road, and the rusty road signs on the side of the road indicated that we were still five kilometers from the coral colony, but the pickup truck in front of us came to a gradual stop.

    What's wrong? Brother Driver probed out in wonder.

    Haku followed and looked over, only to see the lead black Land Rover pulling up to the curb and the tall, strong figure pushing out the door and stepping out of the car with a rifle in his hand... It's Mr. Miku, what's going on?

    What? Old Mikoto wants to take a leak? Fatty said jokingly.

    Looks like there's a car. The co-pilot's buddy said, and Haku just saw a modified convertible SUV leaning askew in the bushes. He hadn't seen the car when he left the settlement this morning.

    Everyone was still clueless about the situation at hand, but Haku noticed in the rearview mirror that Suze had woken up, her black and white eyes looking ahead alertly.

    One by one, the men in the car got out to check ahead. Stranded is a modified white wrangler, the condition seems to be okay, there is a box of ammunition in the car, but there are blood stains on the car seat, and blood stains have also been found in the grass by the side of the road. This forest is infested with many zombies, but this is a scene of distress for help, but there is an indescribable oddity.

    Seeing Mr. Imperial surveying the vehicles and hesitating, Fatty squeaked from the side, Could it be a trap? There were some caravans roaming the continent that specialized in using this trick to ambush other caravans and kill people.

    But if someone is really in distress ......, Tu Nan murmured, staring at the blood and frowning.

    I'll check it out.

    Tuanan looked up at the cool voice, the black-shirted young man did not cross the shoulders of the onlookers to walk forward, looking at the leader Mr. Royal, Mr. Royal nodded and urged careful. Tu Nan saw Su Ze step into the bushes, and hurriedly shouted: Can I go with you, God?

    Can't.

    This refused to head back and dry, the big guys all cackled with laughter, the fat man threw his thumbs up in the direction of Su Ze's departure, The male god is wise.

    Before the sporadic laughter subsided, Su Ze's breath had completely disappeared behind the bushes. Tu Nan looked in the direction where that black back was hidden, and his glowing eyes did not hide his admiration.

    .

    The forest is very deep, although the sun is very grand, still can not shine through the dense shade, Su Ze walked along the blood trail for a period of time and did not find the silhouette of people do not intend to go deeper, turn around and ready to return suddenly heard the sound of fluttering wings, follow the sound of the turn around and look, only to see a vulture circling and landed not far away from the bushes.

    .

    Three zombies were gnawing around a corpse under a tree, and the black vultures, as if they couldn't wait, landed from the branches, but didn't dare to approach the very aggressive zombies.

    The parts of the body that could be gnawed on had been pretty much gnawed on, and one of the zombies raised its head at that moment, its nostrils opening and closing, turning up its stiff neck, its tiny eyes fixed in a certain direction at a certain second, and the big black bird resting on the branch at the end of the field of vision fluttered up two, and the zombie tilted its head, and its cloudy pupils reflected in the figure crouching under the shadows of the canopy of trees at the end of the branch, which was as motionless as a shadow, and in the muzzle of a gun raised in the black shadow's hand.

    Bang.

    Exploding blood sprayed on its two zombie companions, the two startled zombies roared and leapt up, the bullet in the instant their bodies stood up poof continuous pierced two heads. All of the bullets were lead-cored dumdums that exploded heads like watermelon scoops, and just as the two headless zombies staggered to the ground, the black vultures swarmed over them.

    Suze jumped down from the tree, stepping with sheepish, silent steps past the sated flock of vultures, pawing at the ground of bodies with the muzzle of his rifle, looking down to examine the human remains, though mangled, a rifle lay beside the body, which he picked up in his hands with his toes and examined, looking at the caliber, which would be a good match for the type of ammunition on the vehicle stranded on the side of the road.

    A few vultures jumped off the chest of the corpse, Suze suddenly frowned and fixed his eyes, the flesh of the corpse's chest had already been pecked away, but a mark on the ribs attracted his attention - it was a fresh knife mark.

    He incredulously swatted away the vultures and crouched down to check, the marks couldn't have been caused by a zombie's bite, and the injury was in the chest position, so there was no doubt that this person wasn't killed by a zombie attack, and that was his fatal injury. But just how much force is necessary to cause such a deep wound on the ribs with a single cut?

    With a belly full of questions to get up, behind the ear suddenly a strong wind blowing, Su Ze instinctively turned around and raised his hand to block, the rifle barrel clang sound will be flashing cold light of the dagger shot out, snatched the ground into the trunk of a tree, the blade with a huge kinetic energy, especially still trembling.

    The next second Suze had already chased after the dark weapon in the direction it flew from.

    Chop-chop ran all the way wildly to wave away the dense shrubs, and perked up his ears to listen to the other party's direction, the footsteps in the grass seemed to be deep and shallow, and then suddenly disappeared. Su Ze stopped at the same time, he is now standing in an open belt of the forest, after looking around, he raised his gun towards a tree in the north and aimed, and said in a cold voice: Don't hide, come out.

    The forest was steeply silent, and after an unknown amount of time had passed, a hard gasp came from behind the trees, as if a long time of repression had finally loosened his teeth.

    Suze held up his gun and waited patiently, not long after, a young man covered in blood stumbled out from behind a tree holding onto the trunk, Suze frowned and slowly lowered his gun, there was no need to raise the gun, in this man's state he could no longer walk three steps.

    The young man covered his chest and looked at him, his face full of blood and dirt, only one pair of eyes were amazingly bright, he stood for a while in such a stubborn and unconvincing posture, his body eventually couldn't endure it and shook twice and planted himself on the ground.

Chapter II

The convoy drove through the gates of the settlement, and before the car could stop, Tounan leapt out of the open jeep with his gun and ran all the way to the end of the path, with Mr. Mikoto poking his head out of the Land Rover behind him, shouting, Go to the radio room and tell Pancha to hurry up and come here!

    Coral settlement on the watchtower in the back of the mountain, thirty-something tall and long man is with the guards together with binoculars to observe the movement of the mountains, coral town behind the coral mountain, the back of the mountain is not big, in the biochemical virus outbreak before there is not much people, is considered to be a natural barrier to the settlement, but recently some people witnessed the back of the mountain there is a zombie infestation, which is why a temporary watchtower was built to monitor the day and night.

    Coral settlement was built on the basis of the original coral town, but the settlement was not as large as the town at that time, and the periphery was also separated from the outside world by a wall, the settlement has been established for two years now, with a population of less than 500 people, but the current situation is encouraging, they have reclaimed small pieces of arable land, organized their own armed squads, and set up a medical room and a radio station.

    All seemed well in the backcountry when the radio went off, and Pancha turned his head in the direction of the gate at the sound, looking to see the convoy returning.

    .

    When the founders of the settlement arrived at the gates, the supplies on the carts had not yet been carried, and all of them could not help but stop and follow Pancha as he listened to Mr. Imperial's explanation of what he had encountered on the road.

    ...... That's it, Suze is still in the woods watching the guy, we came back first to ask your opinion because we had to escort supplies.

    Pancha listened to frowned for a long time did not say, at first also busy unloading site atmosphere also followed the heavy, everyone is indifferent to silence.

    Mr. Pancha, should we save him? Tounan's solemn inquiry broke the silence.

    I think it's better not to bring that person back rashly, without waiting for Pancha to speak, someone beside him said, Since that person is covered with wounds, it's very likely that he's already been infected, if he's been attacked by zombies that's fine, but I'm afraid that he's been infected by his own companions or enemies, so bringing him back would be a time bomb. time bomb.

    Many people nodded their heads quite thoughtfully when this was said, Ah Xue also felt that this was reasonable, the Obispo virus can be spread through droplets and air during the stage of infection of everyone, and the incubation period can be as long as a week, on the contrary, the virus transmissibility will decrease after mutating into a zombie, and only when a human being is infected by a zombie's nibbling or scratching that leads to a rupture of the skin, and the incubation period is short, and it usually does not exceed twenty-four hours. Although the settlement had a certain amount of serum stockpiled for emergencies, this antibody serum was not mature and needed to be injected promptly within twenty-four hours of being suspected of being infected, otherwise there was no way back. The serum was valuable, and now all of them didn't really know what kind of condition the injured man was in.

    Not only can that person not be brought back, but Suze must also be injected with the serum immediately upon his return into the quarantine area for a week of observation. Another person emphasized.

    Tuanan frowned and was about to speak when a female voice interjected, Why don't you save that person back?

    The speaker was a girl wearing a plaid shirt and a head of sharp short hair, although the sentence used was a question, but there was a big flavor of rhetorical question in the tone, the fat man waved his hand towards the girl, What are you a little girl family running here to blindly make a living?

    What makes me a little girl when you have the right to vote at eighteen? Irene squeezed into the crowd of great lords whose average elevation was a head taller than her own, Mr. Pancha, I think we should save that man, the girl finished sincerely, then looked around, Have all of you forgotten how you got to the settlement in the first place? How would you feel if it was you who was seriously injured and someone refused to save you? People can't forget their roots, they don't care about other people's lives when they are well, besides, I take care of so many people in the isolation area of the medical center all year round, I'm not afraid of you guys, so what do you have to be afraid of?

    That's different, there are so many people in the settlement now, they can't afford to take a little risk! Someone retorted.

    What's the difference, well this is good then, let the guys in the colony vote for themselves, Irene was the first to turn to the black rimmed glasses teenager beside her, Hok you first, to save or not to save?

    Haku didn't expect to be the brunt of the attack, and for a moment his mouth fell open.

    Alright everyone, no need to talk, Pancha spoke up to interrupt, Saving lives is important, I'll drive over there and bring the man back, he said looking over at Tounan, a mouthful of words that didn't make it out of the teenager's mouth, No one else needs to go with you, come back Suze and I will both be in the quarantine zone from now on, Irene.

    Aye! What are the chief's orders? The girl immediately stood at attention.

    Pancha cried, You go and organize men to be ready in the quarantine area.

    Wrap it around me!

    .

    Time was running out, Pancha drove off in no time, and Xue watched the black Land Rover disappear behind the gate, relieved, before turning back to help unload the cargo.

    Holding a basket of oranges into the cool warehouse, a glimpse of the crowd holding the box limping back, surrounded by the busy in and out of the people but seem to be automatically ignored, he tangled for a moment, or will be in the hands of the frame of oranges put down, went up to take over the cardboard box in the hands of Wu Ming: Your feet are inconvenient, it's better for me to do it.

    Wu Ming didn't push back, and watched as the thin, dark-rimmed teenager carried the rather heavy box of cured meats and painstakingly yarded it onto the shelves.

    Wu Ming sat down in the corner by the shelves to take a break, looked up and asked, What were you guys talking about out there just now?

    Hearing Wu Ming ask about it, Ah Xue told him the whole story, and at the end, he said with relief, Luckily, Mr. Pancha decided to go and save the people.

    Wu Ming listened but his expression was cold: Is this worth being happy about?

    Seeing that Wu Ming had this attitude, Ah Xue couldn't help but ponder, ...... Also, there were people who were against saving people just now, in case this person has really been infected ......

    The important thing is not whether or not he was infected, but how he was injured. Wu Ming put down a sentence without saying any more and got up to leave.

    Hok was mortared in place, very confused.

    .

    Suze wrapped the M16 and sat under the shade of a tree, looking at the injured black-haired youth lying in the grass not far away, the other party was now in a coma due to a high fever, but it could not be determined whether the fever was due to the injury or due to the infection of the virus.

    Rustling in the forest, could be small animals or zombies, Suze sat quietly for a while, suddenly frowned, the rustling sound caught in the discordant notes, he turned back back to the trunk of the tree with his back pressed against the side of the ear to listen.

    Eleven o'clock. Not someone from the settlement.

    Rise to the assault rifle behind the back, the body gently leaped to grab a branch a borrowed force to climb up the branch, in the twinkling of an eye has climbed to the height of the tree crown, and a large black crow crouched side by side on the not wide branches.

    At a height of about ten meters, Suze pushed aside the leaves and looked at the source of the footsteps.

    Two men with guns were wandering around in the forest, about fifty meters away, he frowned suspiciously, what were they talking about? The crow gentleman at his side gave a gargle, seemingly protesting against this human's act of taking over the nest, Suze gazed at the two men with suspicious appearance fifty meters away, made a shushing gesture and spread his hand towards his side, the obese crow lowered its head and pecked at the seeds in the palm of his hand, no longer making the slightest sound. Suze heard one of them complain loudly:

    How can that kid still run so far after being injured so badly?!

    Another man spat on the grass, I'll see if I don't skin him alive when I catch him!

    You say this kid is really able to fight, obviously looks like a white boy, injured and still able to one against many. Hey, what should we do now? He might not be here anymore.

    What's that noise?! The man turned suddenly alert.

    Suze looked at the crow beside him, and the crow-kun tilted his head with a seed in his beak, signaling that the sound wasn't coming from him, but the two men were already suspicious and approached this way with their guns.

    Suze raised his M16, the slender muzzle poking out from between the thick foliage, locking onto the man walking ahead oblivious.

    There was a sudden caracal chirp in the grass, and a bobcat coldly leaped out of the long grass, and the highly strung man could not help but discharge a shot, and the bobcat disappeared in a flash through the bushes.

    The two men were uncharacteristically relieved and put away their guns, It doesn't look like it's here, so let's go back first.

    Suze watched the two walk out of sight before jumping down from the tree.

    Injured youth lying in the bushes issued a vague murmur, Su Ze hesitated for a moment to go over, looked down on the white boy youth is being tortured by high fever and pain, although the injury is not light, but the youth's vitality is obviously full of tenacious, which reminds him of a certain person.

    The forest returned to quiet, the obese crows fluttered their wings and flew down to land at Suze's feet, raising their heads and quacking, and circling around the black hunting boots, tilting their heads and coveting the palms of the black-clothed youths' firmly clasped hands, and working so hard for a while before calling the other side back from their out-of-body state in exchange for a few seeds.

    The injured youth opened his eyes in a daze, only to see a black shirt under the blinding sunlight, as silent as an ice sculpture of a young man, that against the light of the unfamiliar but handsome face evoked the deepest pain in his heart memories:

    Save me ...... you'll regret it later ......

    He didn't know if the other party had heard him clearly, yet that face of thunderous indifference seemed to have loosened at that moment.

    Though that bitter smile was so fleeting it was as if it had never happened.

    .

    When Su Ze and Pancha returned to the settlement with the injured people, the quarantine area had already been prepared, in addition to the full closure, but also separated from the residential area by a distance of one street. All three people injected the serum at the first time, Pancha looked at Su Ze who put down his shirt sleeve after injecting the serum, and was still quite upset about having to put Su Ze into the quarantine area, Su Ze, it's really hard for you.

    It's nothing. Suze didn't mind this, it wasn't the first time he'd been quarantined.

    The doctors and nurses of the colony are understaffed, Su Ze stayed in the isolation ward for a while and didn't see anyone come to measure his temperature, so he planned to change his dirty clothes, and touched his cell phone from the pocket of his black pants and rested it on the table, but found that the screen of the phone seemed to be spent, and he pressed to turn it on, and was relieved to see the screen lit up, but then he realized that the screen suddenly blacked out again. Suze stared blankly at his own reflection on the cell phone screen, raised his hand and gently patted, the screen still did not light up, removed the battery and re-installed to try, is still the rhythm of the second black.

    Broken? mumbled the man sitting on the edge of the bed looking at the cell phone in his hand, and at the end of the day, he just had to leave it on the table and get up to change his clothes, just as he took off his shirt the door behind him pushed open.

    The door was pushed open and immediately taken up again, and laughter and conversation ensued from outside the door:

    You've taken care of so many patients, and you've seen a lot of men's*, why are you blushing like that, out of the blue!

    That's not the same, Irene retorted, those people are horizontal, Suze-chan is standing!

    Believe me girl, the difference is not in that at all, it's in the body~~

    ...... Sister, this door isn't actually soundproof.

    ......

    A few minutes later, Irene took Suze's temperature with a mask and gloves on, the thermometer ticking behind her ear, Well, okay, no fever.

    What's the situation with that guy? Suze asked.

    It's still unconscious and the fever hasn't gone down yet. The girl wearing a light blue hooded protective suit sat down on a stool with a somewhat despondent expression. Speaking of that injured young man, I did not expect to wash away the face full of blood stains after the appearance of quite handsome it, just when she changed clothes for that person from his chest dropped a money clip, this year money has long become a pile of waste paper, take the words of the fat brother, wipe his ass is too much choking panic, who will keep the money clip this kind of waste, she could not help but curiously open the money clip, and only then she understood why - - money clip only put a photo. -There was only one photo in the wallet, but it wasn't a photo with his girlfriend or family.

    The photo shows two young men sitting on a powerful yellow Hummer, the one on the left is undoubtedly the owner of the photo, making a V gesture to the camera, smiling with a stinky smile, and at this moment lying on the hospital bed dying is like two people, while the man next to him has a head of slightly long black hair, looks a bit gloomy, indifferent temperament is a bit similar to Brother Su Ze. Behind the Hummer was an endless blue sky, it was impossible to tell if it was taken before or after the outbreak of the Obispo virus.

    The photo should have been taken with a Polaroid and then carefully cut out and stuffed into the money clip, in order to be carried on the body, right? This guy suffered such serious injuries, if not by Suze brother found people have to hang, but the money clip is always protected in the chest intact, although I do not know the photo of the man's temperament of melancholy cold is who, but I think it should be a very important person it.

    She felt it was the right thing to do to save this man.

    .

    Fire, fire everywhere.

    The roaring fire trapped him on all sides, leaving only a small corner of blackness above his head, and he struggled to stand, to pull himself out of the suffocating flames and take a breath of the cool air above him, but his body was as leaden as if it had been filled with lead, and he could not move a single inch.

    Razor.

    A voice suddenly rang out from the sound of the burning flames, and that thick, low voice made him restrained from being creeped out even when he was in the midst of the flames.

    Remember, it was your stupid personal heroism that got the most important person to you killed.

    Building wars?

    He looked around furiously, Lou War's figure in a black leather trench coat could not be seen against the firelight, and his black full-fingered gloved hand held a silver glittering Magnum revolver, the muzzle of which was pressed against someone's forehead.

    The man fell to the ground on one knee, blood penetrated the black long-sleeved T-shirt, he was not lightly injured, but did not moan in pain in the slightest, his eyes were stoic and calm as always, as if the cold sweat that seeped out of his face due to the pain was not his.

    But Lou War's gun was pointed at his temple.

    Stop ...... Lei Zhe heard his teeth trembling voice, he ignored the restraints behind him to forcefully rushed forward, shouting hoarse as a trapped beast in the colosseum, Let go of him - -Lou war you have the guts to charge me!!!

    The flames peeled and pecked as Lou Battle seemed to grin, his thumb toggling the revolver's hammer, his index finger on the trigger a fraction of a second tighter.

    It was as if time had slowed down, but it was not destined to stop, not to flow backwards, and he could only fall to his knees in despair, looking at the last frame before him that had appeared in his dreams countless times, the last frame left to him by the man who, at the moment of the bullet's discharge, had looked over at him, and said, in his usual calm tone of voice:

    No. ......

    Gunshots were fired.

    Blade!!!

    He shouted the other man's name and opened his eyes, the cool air pouring violently into his violently heaving chest, causing him to choke and cough. Above his head was a strangely monotonous ceiling, with moonlight streaming in through a side window.

    The fact that he was alive and alone made him sob like a child.

Chapter III

There! The mustachioed barber ripped the cloth off the teenager's neck and bits of hair fluttered to the floor.

    The teenager stared at himself in the mirror, thick black bangs covering his forehead as he got up and out of the seat, nodding toward the barber, Thank you.

    The barber twirled his moustache and watched the teenager push the door away, shaking his head, quite a pretty child, also very polite, but the expression is too pale, for the age of fifteen, the body is also too thin a little bit, do not talk like a girl, no wonder and the boys in the colony can not play with each other.

    The teenager exited the barbershop and bumped into a couple of tall boys around the corner.

    Yo isn't that Shia's sister? The boy at the head of the group smiled and whistled.

    You're really obsessed with your sister's head bangs~~ his companion teased after him.

    The teased teen had no particular expression on his face, his hands tucked into the pockets of his light blue sweatshirt jacket as he lowly brushed past the boys and walked away around the corner of the house.

    A few boys were still at the back, Hey, sister Shia, you eat more! Irene will be taller than you in two days!

    As soon as the words fell, they were grabbed by the collar from behind, the two boys stopped their voices abruptly and turned their heads, and Tounan, who was half a head taller than them, looked at them with a helpless face.

    Come on, Tounan loosened his collar and glanced in the direction Shia had left, what did he do to offend you guys that he couldn't be a little more friendly?

    The boys, however, were all very unconvinced, and the leading boy chirped, Who wants to befriend that kind of cold-blooded ghost ah, if you want to befriend your own!

    Exactly! He ran off by himself and disappeared, causing the whole settlement to look for him everywhere, and Momo-san wasn't even attacked by a zombie because she went outside to look for him!

    Tunan sighed, ...... That was an accident, and he certainly didn't want it.

    Tuanan, you don't even know how sad everyone was at the time of Sister Taosheng's death, but this kid was the only one eating at the restaurant, as if nothing had happened! I told him that Momoyo died because she went out to look for her, and I was expecting him to shed a crocodile tear, but he still had that wooden face! Forget it Tounan, this guy is not like us, he's probably born with mental problems!

    Tuanan didn't believe that a wooden face on the surface meant a wooden face in the heart, but the boys decided that Shaya was a cold-blooded monster, so he had to digress, By the way, I came to inform you that Mr. Pancha said he's going to expand that bookstore on the west side to make a storage room, so remember to go and help out this afternoon, all of you.

    One by one, the boys reluctantly agreed.

    .

    For the Tounan teenager who had reached the age of eighteen and was already able to participate in many of the important affairs of the settlement, it was a rare day when every day was a full day, after attending the shooting training of Mr. Mikoto in the morning, he went to the watchtower at noon and watched the movements in the back of the mountain while taking a big bite of his meal, and then in the late afternoon, without even having to take a rest, he ran off again with great energy to help clean up the new storehouses.

    Just after entering the door and saying hello to the big guys who were busy as hell, he saw Shia, who was carrying a bucket of water alone, walking up to the window. The teenager with a thin body finished cleaning the rag in the bucket and meticulously wiped the window glass.

    The windows of the bookstore weren't high, but for Shia, who was just over six-foot-six, it was hard for her to rub the topmost area even on her tiptoes, and Tounan frowned, when suddenly he saw one of the boys mischievously moving a stool and placing it behind Shia, and someone in the group of boys took advantage of the opportunity to cajole, Sister Shia we've got a good helper for you!

    Shia, who was wiping the glass, stopped moving, hesitated for a moment to turn his head sideways, and caught a glimpse of the stool.

    The laughter around them grew louder, and Tounan froze as he eyed Shaya's expressionless sweep of the bench and turned back to continue cleaning the windowpanes.

    He still did not wipe to the top, but also refused to stand on the stool, tiptoe unconsciously bite the corner of the mouth, very hard to wipe to the highest place. Tuanan looked at this kind of Xiaya couldn't help but smile heartily, this guy, in fact, will also be angry well.

    .

    Shaya carried the bucket around the stoop and out the door to change the water, the settlement had a large cistern with a relatively simple water supply system installed, the teenager stared for a split second at the water clattering from the faucet into the bucket.

    Shia! Come help me!

    A bright male voice shouted behind her, and Shia turned around at the sound, a teenager with light-colored hair glowing blonde in the sunlight was standing outside the bookstore with his waist tucked in, staring up at the roof with a clueless look on his face.

    He followed, looking up, and there was a kitten on the roof, but in a flash it ran off without a trace.

    Tuanan hung his head demoralized and turned back to greet him again, I'm afraid that Milk Tea will run around and make trouble again, help me catch it, he pointed to the alley next to the bookstore, You go over this way, I'll go over there! That guy won't be able to escape!

    Shia opened his mouth to refuse with I have to clean the window, but before he could say anything, Tounan turned and ran away, waving his hand at him, Please!

    The dark-haired teenager turned his head with his bucket to look down the winding alley.

    So all afternoon Shia was looking for the cat in the alley. He was lying on the ground looking at the cat that was twisting around to meet his eyes in the concrete pipe, wondering what to do, when the kitten, very unruly and unruly, raised a faceful of dust from his hind legs. Shia sneezed twice as he fanned the dust, his light blue hooded sweatshirt already turning almost dark blue. He rolled up his sleeves and persevered in his search again.

    Actually, finding the cat was a lot more work than cleaning the glass, and in no time at all he was covered in dust and mud, but no matter how messy it was, he was at least the only one here.

    There was a very soft sound of meat-padded claws hitting the ground overhead, and Shia didn't miss it.

    Is your name Milkshake? The dark-haired teenager spread his arms toward the small, flowery cat on the second-story windowsill, Come on down.

    Milk Tea cocked her head at him for a moment, then jumped down with a meow, then stomped on Shia's head and jumped across the room with her tail wagging.

    Shia felt a little angry.

    .

    The Shia teenager who made every effort to catch the cat eventually lived up to his promise and lifted Milk Tea-kun in his hands, carrying the small flowery cat that relentlessly tried to scratch him with its claws while walking out of the alley with his head down patting his dirty clothes.

    When he returned to the warehouse he realized that the cleanup was winding down, and remembering that he still had several windows left to clean, he was about to turn around and look for a bucket when he stopped cold in his tracks.

    The teenager carried his mewling milk tea to the window, and his slightly surprised face was reflected in the clear glass. The window had been cleaned, and even the top piece of glass was spotless.

    He looked down at the milk tea in his hand, thought for a moment, carried the cat out of the warehouse, looked around for a while, heard the sound of sawing, followed the sound, Tounan was helping the carpenter to saw the planks on one of the round tables, from time to time wiped the back of his hand across his sweaty forehead.

    He looked at the light-haired teenager working hard in the sunlight, who appeared to have a pendant hanging from his chest that shifted and flickered with the motion of the saw.

    Tounan finished cutting a plank of wood sat down to take a sip of water, spinning open the water bottle tilted his head and took a big gulp as if it was very addictive, Shia froze for a moment, the milk tea in his arms took the opportunity to break free from its restraints and jumped, Shia eyed the cat as it ran in a single bound towards Tounan who was drinking water, deftly jumping onto Tounan's shoulders.

    The light haired teenager turned his head and dotingly rubbed the kitten's head, Please don't be so playful la ...... Were you retrieved by Shia or did you run back on your own? Saying that, he turned to look.

    The door to the bookstore was empty.

    .

    Lei Zhe woke up in the middle of the night and then drifted off to sleep, and when he woke up again it was already afternoon, and he vaguely heard the sound of a girl's conversation, and he opened his heavy eyelids, and realized that he was lying naked in a hospital bed, and a short-haired nurse girl who looked very young was removing bandages and changing medication for him.

    The bandages were netted with blood and sweat, dirty and smelly, and he flew up red and sat up with a carp.

    This startled Irene, You're still hurt, lie down!

    The handsome youth grabbed the dirty bandages despite his injuries and said with a red face, I'll throw these away!

    Irene has never seen with their own work to do the patient, a moment have forgotten to refuse, so watched this little white boy himself to remove all the bandages on the body, strong support to get out of bed, covering the chest hard to move to the door to throw the bandages away.

    Outside the door you can still hear the voice of the little white comrade muttering, ...... How can you let a girl touch it if it's so dirty ......

    Irene puffed out a laugh, was it because of the more boyish female looks that she had to be so gentlemanly to show who she really was? Speaking of which, I don't know how old this guy is, he looks like he's not much older than himself.

    The little white patient covered his chest again and moved back with great difficulty, Irene hurriedly tensed her face, this magical patient came back and rummaged up and down on the table, and when he found the money clip, he finally looked relieved, and put the money clip carefully in the palm of both hands, it was really weirdly adorable ......

    So, where is this place, please?

    This is a coral colony, you were found injured and unconscious in the woods and our leader rescued you. Irene replied as she helped the other man with his medicine.

    The little white patient was silent for a rare moment before saying, Yeah, thanks.

    By the way, I still don't know your name? Irene asked.

    The other man mused for a long time again, Lei Zhe. Just call me Zhe.

    .

    In the quarantine area in isolation observation for a week finally can be out of the gate, Lei Zhe first time to see the full picture of the coral colony, and he has been to the building war territory within the colony are different, this place is not big, but the atmosphere is really too cordial, at first he is a little bit uncomfortable, but soon like a fish out of water up.

    The first thing he wanted to do after leaving from the quarantine zone was to find the guy who saved him and thank him, and he found out from Irene that the other guy's name was Suze.

    The man-god, he should be at the Overlook at this moment.

    Lei Zhe choked, What's the deal with ...... male gods?

    Fatty patted him on the shoulder, You'll understand later.

    There are two watchtowers in the settlement, the one at the main gate has two big old men drinking, looking at the body type can not be a god, and the one at the back of the mountain is simply empty. Lei Zhe in the overlook under the fly like a fly around, pulling a man carrying a gun to ask, the other party smiled and pointed to the top of the head:

    Here, look closely, it's right there!

    Lei Zhe stretched his neck and took a few steps backward, following the direction the hanyou was pointing in, only to look and see a figure squatting on the top of the watchtower.

    The figure crouched on the sloping roof with a cat's back, steady and quiet, like an eagle looking into the distance, Lei Zhe's heart that was irritated when he couldn't find anyone earlier was quieted into a piece.

    As if sensing his gaze, Su Ze lowered his head toward the bottom, Lei Zhe was that glance looked a blush heartbeat, at the right time a black eagle whistling circling from the top of the watchtower flew past, to Lei Zhe again fixed eyes back to God, the watchtower has already disappeared Su Ze's silhouette.

    He blinked his eyes and was wondering a bit when a voice came from behind him, Looking for me?

    Lei Zhe was startled and turned around violently, When did you come down?! Said looking around, it was impossible to climb down the ladder from the overlook without three minutes, I see everyone else is standing in the platform, are you all rabbit squatting at the top? Is that a good view up there?

    Su Ze looked at the self-cooked little white comrade, so many questions he actually did not know which one to answer first, and finally could only ask: Looking for me what is the matter?

    Oh, Reacher shrugged his shoulders and laughed, I just wanted to say thank you in person for saving me.

    I know. There's no need to think about it, just stay in the colony.

    Lei Zhe looked at the back of the other party who turned to leave after saying that, and smiled, this guy is really dry it, he raised his voice and shouted at the other party's back, Male God! My name is Lei Zhe!

    I don't know if it was an illusion or not, but I always felt that Su Nanshen's back awkwardly stiffened for a moment at that second.

    .

    After cleaning up the new warehouse in the afternoon, a group of people were exhausted, and before the meal was ready, the restaurant was already full of people, chatting and flirting while waiting for the pot to start. When Xue walked into the restaurant, he heard someone mention the words Skeleton Army.

    Really? The Skeleton Legion came to Zindu too?

    Since Lou War's caravan is hanging out over here, it's not surprising that the Skeleton Legion is here, right? To put it bluntly, aren't they all in the same boat.

    Hearing this, Haku's curiosity rose and he went up and sat down at that table, Is the Skeleton Legion related to the Building War?

    Although the building war is not a good thing, but on the strength and force that is the skeleton army absolutely can not be compared to the skeleton army is one in the continent around the robber gangs, and the building war blue Aowen gap, as in the hell for the king of Satan and Halloween slipped out to scare the dwarven kobolds.

    Ah Xue, I see you running to Wu Ming Gao Ren every day, what, your Wu Ming master didn't even talk to you? Someone among the people present teased.

    The teenager with the black-framed glasses was instantly a little embarrassed, and the table went quiet for a beat, probably because he felt the atmosphere was too rushed, and the person who had started the conversation coughed and pulled back:

    With toes also want to get it, now and not compared to the year, the caravan migration has long been history, now on the continent is not the land of the building war is the blue Aowen's territory, or like us has been relatively large-scale settlement, skeleton legion of such a caravan by robbing other caravans and small settlements to live in the beginning of the robbers do not rely on a backer, which can be active to now.

    I see ......, Haku murmured, nodding his head.

    Obispo virus global outbreak has been five years ago, in the early years everyone is spontaneously formed a caravan in the zombie infested continent wandering survival, at that time is like the skeleton legion such as the bandit caravan is the most rampant, they will hijack the caravan to seize supplies, and even □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ women abuse the old and the weak, no evil do not do. However, with the building war and blue Aowen respectively developed their own forces, large bases and settlements are also gradually developed, and now the number of caravans migrating on the continent is getting smaller and smaller, the skeleton legion to continue to do evil without a background is not possible. It is said that the skeleton legion and blue ao wen have a fault, these years do not dare in the blue ao wen's sphere of influence activities, not to mention rely on the blue ao wen, so can be the backing of the only building war.

    Makes sense, didn't there used to be another caravan called Mad, and now we don't hear anything about it?

    You are talking about the crazy army? At that time, there were not a lot of followers of the mad, simply blowing that group to the sky, what robbing the rich to help the poor and chivalrous, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is essentially just the same as the Skeleton Legion robber gangs, otherwise why is it now also followed by the disappearance of?

    No sooner had the words left his mouth than a bottle of wine hit the table with a loud thud, accompanied by the girl's very disgruntled voice: What's all this nonsense?

    The fat man on the side looked up and made a gesture of obeisance, I say Auntie Irene, why do you have to come and stick your nose in wherever we are!

    Irene crossed over to the bench and sat down, I'm sick of you guys spreading rumors around here! Mania and the Skeleton Legion are not the same thing at all, ask me about the Mania Legion, the girl patted her chest, I've been saved by Mania before, so I know a lot more than you guys with your hearsay.

    You were saved by Mad? The fat man squeezed out a pair of large eyes and said skeptically, So tell me what Maniac looks like?

    Mad ...... Irene stuttered for a moment, clearing her throat at the end, Of course the chief of Mad is very handsome alright, the key is to be gentle and gentlemanly ......

    In fact, she didn't know what Mad looked like, and the only memory she had of him was just the man who carried her while she was semi-conscious and felt unexpectedly young and clean-cut. Or maybe it was just her own random brainstorming, always thinking that the leader of that caravan, whose fame was no less than that of the Skeleton Legion, was actually a prince-like person very different from his cool name.

    Haku gestured out the window in a very
