However, would it be a hopeless hell inside? Tang Ling's Adam's apple bobbed. Why had his grandmother never mentioned this before?
However, time did leave some clues behind.
His grandmother had never expressed her opinion about living in the Safety Sector.
His grandmother strongly objected to his decision to join the matriculation camp and did not say anything in the end.
Then, he remembered that in the end, his grandmother hesitantly allowed him to carry his sister to the so-called screening.
Grandmother should know something, right? She seemed to have mentioned that her father had witnessed Safety Sector No. 17 being built from nothing with his own eyes.
However, if they died now, it would only mean that the Purple Moon Warriors would make their move.
However, would they really kill the defenseless people of the settlement?
It was as if the reliance, admiration, and admiration that had been built up over the years refused to go away. Tang Ling could not believe the cruelty.
"If you force your way in, they'll really kill you." Grandmother's voice echoed in Tang Ling's ears again.
In the next second, Tang Ling carried his sister over his shoulder and pulled his grandmother towards Safety Sector No. 17. They ran madly towards the south of the sector.
He had lived in the safety sector since he was young, so he was very familiar with the terrain. One side of Safety Sector No. 17 was a cliff that was tens of thousands of feet deep while the other three sides were tall city walls. The safety zone formed a semicircle around Safety Sector No. 17.
However, the width of the safety zone was not the same.
At the end of the south wall was the narrowest part of the safety zone. It was less than 500 meters wide and it was connected to the thick forest outside the safety zone.
Due to the unique terrain, many people in the settlement built shacks there as a transit point for hunting in the thick forest. One thing worth noting was that not all hunting could be completed in a day.
Going back and forth would consume a lot of time.
Tang Ling decided to dash into the thick forest from there.
Firstly, as a transit point, the place was clean and there were no dangerous beasts around.
Secondly, even if there were zombies roaming around, the densely packed shacks would provide some cover.
Even though it was late at night and the mutated beasts became more dangerous after the Purple Moon rose …
"As long as I don't venture deep into the forest, there won't be any ferocious beasts. At least the zombies don't know how to climb trees. "It was the only thought in Tang Ling's mind when he turned around and ran.
After deciding on a direction, the world became simpler.
Soon, Tang Ling reached the bottom of the wall.
Because of the quarantine just now, there were no zombies in the area, which meant that Tang Ling had obtained a relatively precious period of safety.
Tang Ling was fast, but the walls were long. The whole plan sounded difficult, but he was afraid that he would not even have the most difficult choice. Only death awaited him!
As long as his grandmother and sister could survive, that was the only thing he had left in his mind.
His vigorous sprinting caused the whistling wind to fill Tang Ling's ears. Another clap of thunder boomed in his ears. It was so loud that it seemed like it was going to shatter the sky.
Following the claps of thunder, Tang Ling heard a heavy voice. "Get ready!"
It was the voice of the man in the red cloak who had disappeared. What was he preparing? Tang Ling's heart skipped a beat. Even as he sprinted, he could not help but turn his head towards the direction of the chaos.
When he turned around, he noticed a dozen figures following him, which comforted him a little. It seemed like there were still some quick-witted people who chose another way to survive.
However, his consolation did not last long. Swoosh! His face turned pale at the same time.
Behind the purple human wall, streaks of silver light shone brightly.
"They've drawn their swords …" Tang Ling squinted his eyes. That was the only thought that popped up in his numb heart.
"Sob, sob, sob …" His sister, who had been lying on Tang Ling's shoulder, started to cry.
Tang Ling hugged his sister tightly and started to mutter, "No, no, I really don't want it …"
But what could he not want? What could he stop? What a familiar standard sword! What an ironic standard sword!
"Kill!" A cold word rolled out from his throat without any hesitation or emotion.
The dazzling, neat, silver lights started to dance in the air. With a cruel sense of beauty, it was like a ray of hope that streaked across the night sky as it flew towards the crowd. However, it brought with it a sea of blood.
Was it blood? Tang Ling's eyes hurt. Time seemed to have stopped at that moment.
The dazzling lightning, the pouring rain, the frenzied crowd, the bloodthirsty zombies, the merciless purple wall, and the rumbling thunder were all frozen in that second.
"How …?" Who was the one crying in this crazy scene? Who was the one asking the last question?
In the next second, countless heads flew up. The gushing blood broke the silence, but the beautiful silver lights retracted elegantly.
"Back off, or I'll kill you!" The voice was still as cold as ever, but it caused Tang Ling's heart to ache. His stomach started to twitch and the blood in his body rumbled and started to gather at his chest.
It, the mysterious thing in his chest, is it going to eat me?
Tang Ling could not think, but a strange thought rumbled in his mind.
What kind of era is this? I really want to … If it's possible, I really want to shatter it. Only by shattering it can I start anew.
The thought made Tang Ling's hands shake violently. In the midst of the chaos, he remembered to cover his sister's eyes.
As a matter of fact, his sister had seen too much cruelty tonight, but he did not want her to see the cruelest scene anymore. He hoped that there would still be some good things left in her heart.
However, his sister soon stopped crying. Instead, she grabbed Tang Ling's hand that he wanted to cover her eyes with.
What happened? Tang Ling turned around in pain and realized that his sister had returned to her numb state. Her big eyes were even emptier like a deep black abyss.
Tang Ling's heart skipped a beat.
"Brother, I saw Elmer just now …" His sister's voice was very calm, but it sounded unreal.
Elmer? Tang Ling's heart was stabbed. Elmer was his sister's playmate, a boy who was only 7 years old.
He had a strong father, so it might be possible for him to escape, but …
"Brother, I also saw Sister Lee. She was there too."
"Brother, Samuel was killed too …"
...
..
Familiar faces flashed past Tang Ling's eyes. The dirty and messy settlement that looked like a garbage dump had so many familiar faces and so many memories.
Tang Ling's body was unusually cold. He felt like a vortex had formed in his chest and the blood that gathered was gushing towards the vortex.
I'm going to die soon, am I not? Before that, I must keep my grandmother and sister safe.
Tang Ling did not want to listen anymore, but his sister's voice still echoed in his ears.
"Brother, I saw …"
"Uncle Zhang …"
Uncle Zhang!
