However, Sinan didn't fall asleep.
He tried to turn his mind into a state of complete nothingness, like a fish in the deep sea, slowly diving into meditation and capturing fragmented, cotton-like fragments from the depths of his memory.
"… Born weak, must be guarded …"
"Run, run!"
"The humiliation I suffered today will be repaid in double in the future! … "
"Ask your commander to come out," a silhouette stood in front of the high iron gate in the wind and said coldly, "I have something to talk to him about."
The next moment, a man whose face couldn't be seen clearly walked towards him. Before he could speak, he was punched so hard that his mouth and nose bled, and he fell back!
Running, cursing, and the clamor of the crowd, countless soldiers tried to stop him, but it was to no avail. Suddenly, the scene changed. A glimmer of light leaked through the narrow window of the confinement room, outlining a cold shadow on the concrete stone platform. He sat on the edge of the bed with his coat draped over his shoulders. His palms were pressed together, and his fingertips were pressed between his eyebrows. Suddenly, there was a rush of running outside the door, and the crisp sound of keys clashing.
He stood up, and the door opened.
"Inside, there's an outbreak, the laboratory can't be closed … The cordon has collapsed, the car is waiting for you outside, come with me …"
He took a titanium alloy freezer and walked out of the confinement room. At the end of the corridor, the dim light turned into stars, and under his feet was a long journey that would never end.
He would never be able to reach the end …
The armored car braked suddenly, and Sinan's body bounced forward, waking him up.
In an instant, he was face to face with the densely packed zombies in front of the car window. The driver shouted, "We've arrived at the destination! Hurry, clean up and break out! Get the people inside ready to help —! "
The machine gun on the top of the car spewed out dazzling flames. Zhou Rong took off his coat and wore only a black vest. The heat insulating gloves were burned by the gun barrel, and he took turns to fire and force the zombies back.
However, there were too many zombies crowded in the commercial street in the city center. After shooting wave after wave, it was like a sea of corpses. All the team members climbed on top of the car to provide support, but they could barely clear a few meters of space, allowing the armored car to move slowly in the sea of corpses.
This speed was comparable to the morning rush hour and was very dangerous. The car was almost overturned by the endless number of zombies several times. Several team members shouted one after another and were almost dragged off the car by their ankles.
Zhou Rong roared into his headset, "Yingjie, come up and provide support! I'll do it! "
The chauffeur opened the car roof window and jumped onto the roof. Zhou Rong took the opportunity to slide down from the driver's seat and stepped on the accelerator!
With a loud boom, the armored vehicle leaped forward several dozen meters and swept countless undead under the vehicle. At this moment, a cracking sound was heard. The window on the driver's side was smashed!
"Ow —" Several pairs of withered hands reached into the car window at the same time to grab Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong dodged sideways. Sinan cooperated in time and fired a few shots at the zombies. "Where's the shelter?"
"Below!"
"Where?!"
Zhou Rong couldn't free his hands, so he raised his chin to the front.
A few hundred meters away, a shopping mall stood at the end of the central street. The words "Great Discount" were floating in the air.
Sinan shot a zombie's head and dodged back at the same time. The stinky gray brain matter splashed out and splashed half of Zhou Rong's body. He shouted, "F * ck!"
Sinan, "F * ck who?"
Zhou Rong's left hand was facing zombies that were scrambling to climb the window, and his right hand was facing Sinan armed with live ammunition. After weighing the pros and cons, he cursed, "… This damn shopping mall is so f * cked up. What kind of discount is there? No wonder there are so many people outside! F * ck their ancestors! "
At this moment, the radio above his head buzzed. It was very clear in the cockpit. A sharp female voice came out, "0011 calling headquarters! Calling headquarters!! Do you need support? I repeat, do you need support?! "
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Rongyi pressed the Sinan, stepped on the brake, connected to the intercom on the roof and roared with all his strength, "All of you come down —! Seal the roof, now —! "
Before he finished his sentence, a light suddenly flashed on the roof of the shopping mall in the distance.
The next moment, a white light rushed into the air, covering the sky and the earth. The fire and the strong light swept across the ground in an instant!
The armored vehicle was like a kite with a broken string in the explosion. It flew out more than ten meters in an instant. The windows were all shattered. Everyone was screaming in the terrible flip.
After an unknown amount of time, which felt like a long century, the Sinan Ju regained consciousness. It vaguely felt that something was wrong. It struggled to prop up its upper body to take a look.
In front of its nose was Zhou Rong's camouflage pants … the crotch.
Zhou Rongyi's hand supported his forehead. The corner of his mouth twitched. His voice trembled because of the severe pain.
"If I'm crippled, you won't be able to escape …"
All the team members groaned and got up. Outside the car window, the single-person rocket launcher had wiped out half of the zombies on the street. It was a horrible sight. Billowing smoke shrouded the once bustling shopping mall.
The female voice came out coughing, "Hello everyone, are you still alive? I repeat, are you still alive? "
Zhou Rong asked, "Chun Cao, let's make a deal. Let's talk before we fire next time, okay? Do you know that Brother Rong almost died just now? "
Chun Cao said, "You have no use for it anyway. Just cut it off."
Sinan glanced at Zhou Rongyi with a strange look.
"What do you want to say?" Zhou Rong was very sensitive to any provocation at the moment.
"… Nothing."
Sinan didn't expect that the gigolo Yan was the one on top. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
Thanks to the rocket launcher, the heavily damaged armored vehicle finally passed through the streets and reached its final destination – the shelter.
It was the underground warehouse of the shopping mall. It used to be an air-raid shelter in the middle of the last century. It had excellent military infrastructure and resisted several rounds of attacks by the zombie army during the outbreak of the infection.
There were thousands of people hiding in the underground shelter. Most of them were shopping mall customers and employees. There were men and women, old and young. Suppressed cries echoed everywhere.
Zhou Rong finally connected with his teammates and said enthusiastically, "Cao 'er!"
Chun Cao said, "Captain!"
Si Nan dodged in a hurry, and Chun Cao ran past him close to his side. The two hugged and spun. Zhou Rong effortlessly picked up the girl, who was only as tall as his shoulder, and spun her around twice. If this was a comic, at this moment, there must be lasagna in all directions.
"We're out of bullets," Chun Cao's eyes were filled with tears of desire, "Last night, I took Da Ding and Xiangzi out to clean the corridor. We used up all the bullets. The shot on the roof just now cleared out the last of our rocket launchers … I also asked the property management to block the doors and windows of the warehouse in case the zombies rush in again. We can't go up there and fight …"
Zhou Rong touched her head and said lovingly, "Call me Dad."
Chun Cao immediately said, "Dad."
Zhou Rong took out two bullets from the gun barrel and opened up his daughter's palm. He first put the two bullets down, then he thought about it and took back another one.
"The last two bullets in the team." Zhou Rong smiled and said, "Keep them to end your own life."
Chun Cao immediately broke off their father-daughter relationship and walked away with a cold face.
At the beginning of the chaos, a total of two to three thousand people fled to this shelter. However, there were already infected people among them. After entering the enclosed space, they turned into zombies and quickly infected most of the survivors.
Fortunately, several of Zhou Rong's team members contacted the local government and escorted the medical team to this place in time. After several purges, there were only a little more than a thousand people left. All of them had gone through preliminary tests and confirmed that there were no potential infected people.
Chun Cao took a few of her teammates and dragged out the zombies that were killed and burned them. They cleaned up the zombies that wandered inside the mall and the safe corridors. They had not run out of food and ammunition, so they could only anxiously wait for Zhou Rong to come to their rescue.
"Ahem," Zhou Rong stepped on a milk crate and accidentally bumped into the ceiling light. He quickly covered his head.
The black mass of people on the ground looked at him blankly. Occasionally, there were sobs from women and children, but they quickly subsided.
"Are you here to save us?" Someone mustered up the courage to ask.
"I am the sixth captain of Unit 118 under the B military region." Zhou Rong took out the slightly wrinkled official letter and solemnly showed it to the crowd. Under the light of the underground warehouse, the bright red official seal was particularly conspicuous.
As if they gained some confidence from the red, the crowd became slightly excited.
"My superiors sent me here with a positioning device to ensure the safety of the people and ensure social order during the outbreak of the epidemic. At the same time, I sent a positioning signal to my superiors. Soon, the government will organize forces to rescue everyone."
"During this period, please remain calm, do not panic, do not believe the rumors, work and rest on time, and consciously take your temperature regularly …"
"What's going on outside? Are those monsters zombies?" A man in the front row asked in a sharp voice.
Zhou Rong said, "It's just some kind of mutated rabies virus. Please do not believe the rumors. Next."
"Our, our," a girl cried and asked, "What about our family?"
"Yes, my child is still in school …"
"My wife, she …"
"My mother is over eighty years old! … "
Under the light, Zhou Rong's cheeks were slightly taut, giving people a cold and stern impression.
But then he smiled. Although it was only a brief arc, it was very calm and convincing. He also adjusted his tone to a very stable state, "The army will not abandon any citizens. Please rest assured."
The signs of panic subsided slightly. People had no choice but to choose to believe. More questions popped up, "When will the rescue come?"
"Where will we be sent?"
"When will the epidemic be over? Will the government send us back?"
…
Sinan leaned against the shelf and stared at Zhou Rong who patiently answered one question after another. There was an imperceptible wrinkle between his eyebrows.
Not far behind him, Chun Cao hooked her arm around Yan Hao's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Why do you keep looking over there? That person is dirty and a Beta. "
"I don't."
"Well, you do."
Yan Hao smiled and said, "Tomorrow the helicopter will come to pick up the people, and we will also …"
Before he finished, Sinan turned around and walked past the two of them to the back door of the warehouse.
"Sinan!" Yan Hao followed him and asked, "It's not safe outside. Where are you going?"
Sinan replied politely, "Shower."
In the simple bathroom of the warehouse staff lounge, hot water poured down and white steam quickly rose, blurring the dirty ventilation window.
Sinan stood under the shower with his eyes closed. He felt the water flow take away the solidified dust, sand, and blood. His body gradually became smooth again. The water slid down his naked body to his heels and flowed into the sewer, making a gurgling sound.
He didn't know how long it had been since he took a shower. Right now, he only felt that every pore on his body was relaxed, and his muscles and bones released the last trace of soreness. If his skin could make sounds automatically, it would probably be singing praises.
After a while, he turned off the water, dried his body hastily, and wiped off the water vapor on the mirror. Finally, his face, which was not covered by sand and dust, was reflected in front of him.
Among most Asian-European mixed-race people, Asian genes always had an overwhelming advantage. The same was true for Sinan. But if you looked carefully, you could still see his mother's breathtaking beauty from her eyebrows, the corners of her eyes, and the contours of her cheeks.
It was just that the moving weakness of a woman was gone in his body. Instead, it was replaced by a kind of toughness and decisiveness, as if it had been polished by fate for many years.
Sinan bent down to pull up his trousers and shirt. When he was about to put them on, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the mirror. His movements stopped.
"…"
He turned his body almost inch by inch and stared at the back of his right shoulder. He suddenly understood why he was unconscious before.
There was a palm-sized bite mark on the back of his smooth shoulder blade. The skin and flesh had been turned open and had dried up, revealing a shocking purple-black color.
It was the bite mark of a zombie.
"Brother Rong just sent the location signal. The airship will pick up the survivors tomorrow afternoon and take them to the B military district …" In the corridor, Chun Cao, who was holding Yan Hao's neck, suddenly stopped talking and looked straight behind her.
Yan Hao asked casually, "What's wrong with you?" He looked back and was also stunned.
A young man pushed open the door of the bathroom and came out. His hair was especially black after being wet. Half of his face was exposed because of the water vapor, showing a kind of bloodless coldness.
He turned around and saw Yan Hao. He didn't speak or move for a few seconds. Deep in his pupils, there seemed to be a pair of bright amber hidden. After a while, he smiled briefly, took off the gun from his shoulder and threw it back.
Yan Hao subconsciously caught it and heard him say, "Here you go."
"Sinan …" Yan Hao subconsciously stopped Sinan, but he saw Sinan turn around and walk towards the warehouse.
His body proportions were very good. The hem of his shirt was casually tucked into the back of his waist, and the waist of his trousers was hanging on his hips. When he walked, one could see that he was very agile. Chun Cao poked Yan Hao's arm, covered half of her mouth and whispered, "… Do you still look at faces when you save people?"
Zhou Rong finally got away from the crowd. After dealing with the mall manager who was holding his hand with snot and tears, he looked up and saw Sinan standing in the shadow behind the door with one hand in his trousers pocket and staring at him silently.
Zhou Rong looked at him for a moment and rubbed his chin maliciously, "What do you want? Do you want to make a date?"
"…"
"I don't want to make a date during working hours. I can think about it when I go back to the base … What are you doing?"
Sinan unbuttoned the third button, pulled open his collar slightly, and motioned him to look at the back of his shoulder. In the shadow, a clear corner of the bite mark of a zombie was exposed.
"… I may be infected," he said hoarsely.
Zhou Rong's face was pale, and he stood still for a long time.
