14. Chapter Fourteen(1/2)
Li Diudi walked over like a father with his pants pockets in his hands.
I thought his nose was so good that it could tell the unique smell of the zombie in the stinking corpse everywhere, but he turned his head and looked at me impatiently: "What are you doing when you are stuck? Don't play?"
"Are you here to play..."
I muttered and walked honestly to the front to lead the way.
While walking, I looked at this desolate and messy construction site: "I haven't come in before, but now I find that many buildings have stopped before they have been built to the standard floor. Based on today's events, this place is really evil."
Wei Wuchang asked me: "What is the standard layer?"
"Well, how do you say that, the buildings are very high nowadays. Generally speaking, all apartment types between 3 and 18 floors are the same. This is called the standard floor. There are basically shops below the 3 floors."
Wei Wuchang nodded: "Miss Su is knowledgeable and talented, and is very powerful."
He praised too much for the truth, and I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, scratched my head and smiled politely: "No, I just want to draw comics. Sometimes I accidentally learn other knowledge."
"Draw a comic?"
"It is a kind of painting, using pictures to tell some stories you think of."
"admire."
I haven't been praised in person in Li Duidu's apartment for a long time, and the smile on my lips is hard to hide.
"There is a pit in front." Li Duidi hit me with a word. I staggered and almost fell down. I stood firm and looked closely. There was no pit in the big flat road that even had bricks.
I turned around and glared at Li Duidi: "What's the trick?"
He didn't even look at me: "I read it wrong."
Damn, this guy has a trick! You vampires are nocturnal animals! Do you think I don’t know how good your night vision is! Who are you lying to!
I wanted to curse people, and my attitude was getting better. Wei Wuchang reached out to stop me: "Miss Su wait."
"Don't stop me, I must reason with this vampire today!"
"No, I mean you wait."
I lowered my head to look at the ground. There was nothing wrong with the mud land. However, the cool air that was traction behind me floated forward for two or three meters and then turned into the ground.
Wei Wuchang picked up a stone and threw it forward. There was a burst of noise. The sand and stones fell down, revealing the wooden strips and newspapers covered with them. Just now, Wei Wuchang's stone seemed to hit the key point of the trap. The wooden strips and newspapers were held on it for a while, and then they fell down.
The big hole in the ground in front was exposed, with a diameter of about 1.5 meters. Li Dudu and Wei Wuchang and I jumped down together and probably had no problem, but we just didn't know what was going on below.
It turns out... there is really a trick below... Li Duidi started shouting before he got to the side. When he really got to the side, he said that he had read it wrong. He actually wanted to make me fall down!
A cheating product!
"Why don't you stop me when I'm on the side?" I asked Li Diudu.
He looked at me coldly: "You have to go down anyway."
He was right. The cold air on my neck floated downwards, pulling me, and even seemed to urge me to jump inside. What we were looking for was below, and I must have gone down, but Li Duidu's attitude was really unhappy. Although he was usually quite unhappy, he was really out of here today, especially sarcastic...
Wei Wuchang looked at Li Diudhi at this time, was silent for a moment, and said, "The bottom is pitch black, I am used to walking in the darkness, and my eyesight is not hindered, so I went down to explore the way first. You can take Miss Su and get down later."
Before we could agree, Wei Wuchang jumped down.
In the pit, Li Dui and I stood in the pit, and we were speechless for several minutes.
"You two can come down, there is no obstacle below, it's just a little deeper."
"Okay." I responded, turned around, naturally opened my hands, and posed for hugging. Li Duidi looked at me, but didn't move for a long time. I also looked at him, shook his hands, "Hug me."
Li Diudigou narrowed his eyes: "Su Xiaoxin, don't you feel shy when you say something?"
"Why are you shy?" I asked back.
He said it was like what kind of love I would have with him. I think that in this world, I might even have love with Li Pai, but it was impossible to have anything with Li Pai.
Why?
There is no reason, intuition. From the first meeting of Li Duidu, I have such intuition.
Li Duidi was a mess. It was rare that I could not speak once. I was still secretly happy. Li Duidi raised his hand, crossed my arms, held my collar, and pulled me into the pit. I was like a cat and was carried down by him.
As soon as his feet fell to the ground, I turned several times before I stood still in horror. As soon as he let go, I immediately lost my direction in the darkness: "Li Dui Dui, don't go too far!"
"Shh, don't make a noise." His voice became serious. Although I was still full of anger, I temporarily suppressed it for the sake of the overall situation.
The three of us stood at the bottom of the pit, and I felt the cold air that had been hooking my neck became a little messy. The bottom of the pit was chilly everywhere, making me confused for a moment that the breath came from. But there was a light sound, like a child's whimpering sound that broke into my ears.
I tried hard to identify the direction, but before I could confirm it, I felt someone grabbing my wrist: "Let's go here." Li Duidu said.
I was blind and could not see anything, so I had to follow the power of his wrist. In the darkness, he was like the only lighthouse to rely on, guiding the direction.
"Li Duidi."
"Um?"
"I want to say..." I paused, "If you can find the way, can you let me go up first?"
I admit that I am afraid of the darkness, but the reason why I don’t want to stay here for too long is that I don’t like the feeling that I can’t do anything except relying on this person. This will make me feel that I am useless and will also make me afraid, fearing that in this extreme situation, I will have the illusion that “he is the only”.
Life experience tells me that once I have such an illusion about someone, no matter what kind of relationship the two have, I will be finished. At least this period of time when I have this illusion will be over.
"No." Li Dui denied me.
"Why?"
He did not answer, and Wei Wuchang, who had been silent all the time, spoke: "There are other zombies here, and Miss Su is alone on it, which is probably even more dangerous."
"Okay." I compromised because there are three people now.
For me, this was the ultimate darkness. I couldn't see anything. I could only hold me with my hands, turning left or right. I don't know how long I had been in this underground maze-like place, but the whimpering sound of the child who had been tangling around my ears became louder and louder.
Finally, I turned the last turn, and the sound became clear, and a slight flashlight suddenly appeared in front of me.
I knew what might be ahead, and I became nervous in an instant. I quickly grabbed Li Duidi with my hands and held them tightly. I felt it was unsafe, so I hugged his arm directly.
Don’t treat him as the only one. In a crisis, those are secondary considerations. Saving your life is the first priority.
"What are you doing with such a tight hug?"
"What did you say do?"
During the conversation, Wei Wuchang had already walked over first. His figure seemed very tall and mighty under the faint light of the flashlight. However, when he had just turned the corner, his figure stopped.
I immediately grabbed Li Dui who was about to go there: "Wei Wuchang is still moving, he must have been attacked. Let's retreat quickly and bring more people back to the recruiting association."
"Miss Su..." Wei Wuchang called me helplessly, "No problem, come and take a look."
Then I followed Li Duidi forward with a little reluctantly. When I reached the corner, I also saw the scene of the flashlight. I was slightly stunned. I had thought about many terrible scenes, and my mind was filled with various zombie films, but I never expected that what I saw in front of me would be like this...
Mother.
It was that zombie who scared me in the toilet, saw me in my dreams, and bit me on my way to buy barbecue. I had seen her hideousness, and the gentleness and beauty of her mother when she was alive. Now I see a terrible zombie.
Her face was withered, her eyes were bulging, and her skin was dry, but she was holding a living child in her arms.
The child was lying in her arms, his face was blue and purple, and he kept twitching. The sound he had just passed was made by this child. He was already awake. And his zombie "mother" was actually crying.
There were no tears, but she was twitching in her breath, like a living person, and after she cried with grief, she was conditioned and twitching.
And around her, there were three or four zombies, as if they were protecting her and the child. However, the movements of these few were a little stiff, not as flexible as hers.
She turned her head to look at me. The light from the flashlight was shining from her chest. Her chest cavity was no longer flesh, only a brown skeleton was left. She stuck the flashlight in her ribs so that she could empty her hands and hold the child, and there could still be light shining on the child.
That's it, so I could see a heart in her chest that didn't match her body shape.
The heart did not beat, but stayed steadily in her chest. It was Wei Wuchang's heart.
"Child..." she opened her mouth and said with difficulty, "Save him."
Wei Wuchang stepped forward, and she became alert in an instant, like a furry cat, instantly becoming full of aggressiveness. The zombies around her also instantly faced Wei Wuchang, like a drone supporting the queen bee, erecting a thorn on her tail.
This mother...
I tried to let go of Li Duidi's hand and walked forward two steps. She still only stared at Wei Wuchang, not looking at me. I had an idea. I had seen her in my dream, and maybe she had seen me in my dream. Of course, there was Wei Wuchang in my dream, or maybe she had also seen Wei Wuchang, but she knew that the heart in her chest belonged to Wei Wuchang, and it was very likely that she knew that the reason why she could get rid of the control of the corpse-driver now was entirely due to Wei Wuchang's heart.
So she was wary of Wei Wuchang because she was afraid that he would take his heart back at this time.
But she believed me.
I took another step forward, and Li Duidi grabbed me: "Come behind me."
"Wait, I think she believes in me. She came to me for help and would not hurt me."
"Then we have to come back to me, too." Li Duidi stepped forward and wanted to protect me, but as soon as he moved, the mother turned her head again, revealing her browned teeth, like a wolf in the wild, ready to attack at any time.
I immediately broke free from Li Diudi's hand: "Don't cause trouble, don't move." I ordered him.
Li Diudi was stunned and didn't say anything else.
I walked forward step by step, and the zombie mother did not look at me from beginning to end, but was just wary of Li Duidu and Wei Wuchang.
I walked to the group of zombies, and they gave way to me and asked me to walk to the zombie mother. I squatted in front of her and looked at the child in her arms.
The child was breathing rapidly. I reached out and touched his forehead. Although his face was now blue and purple, his forehead was so hot. As soon as I touched him, he immediately turned his head and spit out a sip of water. I looked closely and found something similar to grassroots from his vomit.
"What did you give him food?" I was a little anxious.
These days, the search of the sucking association was so tight that she would not dare to go out for food. She was a zombie and could not starve to death, but the child had to eat. The food she gave the child was like grass dug next to the construction site. The child was still physically and could not withstand such tossing.
To be continued...
