Time went back to three minutes ago. Zhong Ting, who was behind everyone, suddenly screamed. Several people around him froze in place. Seeing Yin Jie turning back, they knew that something must have happened.
Before he had time to respond, the stall on the east side was hit, and Shigure, who was leaning next to him, was knocked to the ground. Fortunately, the stall did not fall.
While Zhong Ting issued a warning, she held up her shield and leaned forward. Xue Ning followed closely behind, both swords coming out, and the zombies that squeezed over fell to the ground one after another.
At this time, Feng Jing's order to retreat came, and Xu Sheng had already helped Shi Yu up. In addition to being frightened, she suffered some skin injuries.
"Teacher Xu, take everyone away first, be careful ahead!" Xue Ning put down another zombie, paying attention to the zombies coming around the street, and immediately issued a warning.
Xu Sheng did not hesitate, and rushed directly to the street entrance, bow and arrow, "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Three arrows were fired in a row, and the zombies in front instantly turned into gourds rolling on the ground, and the movement of the zombies was delayed.
Wang Tao passed by: "Teacher Xu, you just cross the road, and I will lead them south."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tao got involved with the group of zombies. He slashed at the zombie at the front with two "swish" blows. He let out a strange scream to attract attention, then turned around and ran away.
The situation was critical. Wang Tao could only choose to lure away some zombies to buy time for the team. After gaining the ability, he felt dissatisfied with himself for the first time. His positive ability was too weak!
What you can't get is always the best. Even Feng and Yin wouldn't be able to withstand this level of impact for more than a few seconds.
With the time Wang Tao bought, Zhong and Xue rushed to meet Xu Sheng and led some zombies to quickly rush to the street.
Viewed from above, two long dragons are running parallel to the west, one behind the other. In a narrow passage, less than three meters apart, zombies break away from the front team from time to time to intercept them.
Lin Qiu and Zhong Ting stood on the outside and tried their best to block with shields. Xue Ning opened the way with her swords, Xu Sheng covered the way, Wen Wan cut off the back, and Shi Yu, who was still in shock, used his swords to support.
A group of six people moved forward quickly, not daring to make any sound. Fortunately, the strong wind interfered with the zombies' hearing, and the zombies' movements were a bit chaotic. Everyone rushed out of the intersection without any danger.
Crossing the road and seeing the zombies approaching from the opposite side, Xue Ning groaned in her heart. Wang Tao's idea was good, but a key link was missing. The peaceful garden on the opposite side was not cleaned up.
The east gate of Heyuan is within easy reach, and a little further north is the training school. The road is full of abandoned vehicles.
Xue Ning just hoped that a group of zombies would not suddenly appear. He stepped forward and killed the zombies blocking the way with a knife. He did not enter the door and turned to the south.
"Hurry up! Sister Zhong, help me look ahead!"
"Xiao Lin is back!"
After running two steps forward, she didn't wait for Zhong Ting's response. Instead, she heard her sad and desperate cry. Xue Ning quickly stopped and turned around to look.
Wen Wan and Shi Yu pulled Zhong Ting back, while Lin Qiu led most of the zombies towards the east gate of the garden.
"Lin Qiu!"
Xu Sheng on the side couldn't bear to watch, shouted, and shot a zombie in front of him over with hatred.
The three people from behind came closer, and Zhong Ting kept muttering words such as "I'm sorry for Xiaolin" and "It's all my fault."
Having guessed about the situation just now, Xue and Xu looked at each other and continued moving forward in tacit understanding.
Xue Ning opened the way, Xu Sheng left the team and looked for a high place to observe the surroundings. He saw three zombies appearing in front of him. He was about to shoot out an arrow to protect them. He touched the quiver, hesitated with his fingertips, and shot an arrow.
The trajectory of the arrow pointed out the direction, and after receiving the hint, Xue Ning easily dealt with the remaining two.
After clearing the hidden dangers ahead, Xu Sheng noticed that the zombies from behind were approaching quickly and hurried to meet them.
With this period of buffering, Zhong Ting no longer needed support at this time, but she was depressed and silent.
There was no time for small talk, so after introducing the situation at the rear, several people speeded up and continued moving forward.
Less than thirty meters away from the intersection, Xue Ning found another zombie in front of her and gave an early warning. Xu Sheng quickly ran two steps westward to avoid the obstruction of the vehicle and shot two arrows, which relieved Xue Ning's pressure. .
He reached for the quiver, only the last one was left.
At this moment, two zombies suddenly appeared on the road. Fortunately, Zhong Ting and Wen Wan reacted quickly and stepped forward to catch them. Shi Yu continued to move forward to assist Xue Ning.
Xu Sheng's raised hand was about to be lowered when several zombies shot out from the west and rushed towards Shi Yu.
A vehicle that hit the sidewalk just blocked everyone's view, and they didn't notice that the fire door of Heyuan had opened.
"Shigure, be careful!"
The nearest zombie had been hit by an arrow and fell, and Xu Sheng rushed over with all his strength.
After being reminded, Shigure discovered the danger on the right. Facing the sudden siege, her panicked mind went blank. She mechanically raised the shield in her hand and swung the sword forward with all her strength.
After several blows, deep cuts were left on the zombie's body. Unfortunately, they were not fatal. Instead, they put him in danger.
Under the continuous attacks of zombies, Shigure fearfully put his shield sideways to protect his head and face, closed his eyes and used the random cloak sword technique.
"Um!"
A groan of pain came, and Shigure felt the pressure in front of him disappear. He opened his eyes and found that Teacher Xu was pushing three zombies with his long bow horizontally. One of them fell to the ground and was about to get up.
He quickly leaned over and inserted his knife into the zombie's neck, then drew his knife and slashed at the three zombies. The skills he had learned in the past two days came back into his hands, and Zhong Wen also rushed over to assist.
"Teacher Xu, are you okay?"
Only a few seconds passed, and the group of corpses from behind had already caught up. The four people who had finished dealing with the zombies hurriedly chased Xue Ning.
"I'm fine! Watch both sides!"
Wen Wan, who was at the back, noticed that there was a blood mark on Xu Sheng's back. The red blood slowly seeped out with the movement of her body. Just as she was about to speak, she met Xu Sheng's eyes that turned her head and turned into a sigh in her heart. .
When they arrived at the intersection, Xue Ning, whose hair was wet with sweat, ran over and gasped: "Go to the villa area first, and let's talk after the zombies behind have rested!"
Without further hesitation, the five people who were running and fighting fought with all their strength and rushed all the way into Villa No. 8 of Jinlongyuan, leaving behind a "bang bang" knock on the door.
The few people who were temporarily out of the crisis collapsed directly to the ground, calming down their nervous mood.
They had just experienced the most thrilling battle since the end of the world, and they had exhausted their physical strength and energy in just a few minutes.
For a moment, no one spoke except for the sound of breathing one after another.
After a moment, Wen Wan, who had been paying attention to Xu Sheng, took the initiative to speak: "Teacher Xu, please bandage your injury first."
"What? Teacher Xu is injured? Where is the injury? When did it happen?"
Shi Yu got up anxiously and pulled Xu Sheng to look left and right. She understood what being injured meant.
Several other people also gathered around and asked.
"I'm fine. I just got scratched on the back by Shigure."
Only then did everyone notice the blood stains on Xu Sheng's back. She was sitting against the wall just now, and no one noticed it.
"Take off your clothes and let me see!"
Xu Sheng's words did not comfort everyone. Shi Yu fell into her arms and couldn't help sobbing.
After helping his student tidy up her messy hair, Xu Sheng slowly pushed her away and looked at Shigure with tears in her eyes.
"Why are you crying in a hurry? Let Dr. Xue take a look first."
"Sister Xu——!"
"Be obedient!" After saying that, Xu Sheng stood up and sat on the coffee table, slowly taking off his protective clothing, frowning slightly from time to time.
Xue Ning found scissors, cut her underwear from her back, and carefully peeled it off. As far as she could see, a five- to six-centimeter wound was still oozing blood, and the nearby skin was red, swollen, and blue.
Seeing this scene, Shigure cried again.
Xu Sheng felt bitter in her heart. Her long-held wish had just been realized. Her happy life had not yet begun, but was it about to end? How painful should he be?
"There are no signs of infection yet, so we need to continue to observe!"
"ah?"
Shi Yu stopped crying and looked at Xue Ning in disbelief, and Xu Sheng also turned his head excitedly.
"It is normal for the skin to turn blue. It is not infected by zombies. Wipe it with alcohol later and bandage it. If there is no change after a day, it will be safe!"
"Okay! Teacher Xu is fine!"
Shi Yu stepped forward and hugged Xu Sheng, causing her to grin and hug the student in her arms.
When Zhong Ting saw this scene, a smile appeared on her face, and she sniffed subconsciously. A special smell made her frown, and she glanced at Xu Sheng worriedly.
···
On the other side, Lin Qiu led the zombies towards the east gate of the Garden without hesitation, passed through the gate, found the nearest residential building and entered directly, avoiding all the zombies he met along the way.
He did not go upstairs, but went straight to the elevator, passed through the safe passage leading to the underground parking lot, sat down with his back against the door, and his eyes fell into darkness.
Listening to the crash behind him, Lin Qiu laughed happily. In his ordinary life, he finally did something he was proud of, something that was memorable.
Smiling and burying his head, tears kept falling. He was not sad about his situation, but felt a little regretful at the thought of not being able to continue fighting with his friends, and more regretful about his past cowardice.
Lin Qiu's life has always been ordinary. He was born in an ordinary way, grew up in an ordinary way, and went through the cycle of enrollment and graduation. Everything was so ordinary, his grades were good or not, and his family was neither poor nor rich.
After graduating from college, choosing a job that barely makes a living, then getting married and having children, repeating the life of your parents, maybe this is the life of most people.
Now that I think about it, it would be great if I could live like this for the rest of my life!
His peaceful life was broken when he entered college.
A shooting game that is popular around the world attracted him. With his good eyesight, he killed everyone in the early stages of the game. He quickly gained the favor of the team, earned more wealth than his parents could save in a lifetime, and became instantly famous.
However, with the advancement of professionalization, relying solely on eyesight as an advantage has become limited in helping the team. Lin Qiu's other talents can only be said to be average, and the team's results have always hovered in the middle.
The manager began to complain, and his tactical status continued to decline.
Lin Qiu, who gave up his studies and devoted himself wholeheartedly, could not accept the huge psychological gap. After working hard for a while with no obvious results, he began to have other thoughts.
After being reported, he was not only expelled from the team, but also punished with a lifetime ban, as well as claims from the platform and other parties.
Like a dream, after experiencing flowers and applause, Lin Qiu was left with only a house that needed to repay the loan. Lin Qiu, who had no livelihood, became self-defeating and hid in his house all day long, unwilling to see anyone.
In addition to their daily care and encouragement, his parents would come over every weekend to help him with housework and prepare food for the week.
When the disaster happened, his parents happened to be downstairs. Hearing their screams, Lin Qiu, who had been in a daze all day with disheveled hair, finally woke up, but it was too late and he could not change anything.
After wailing for a day, the only thing he could do was to go out at night and hastily bury his parents.
He had never said these things to anyone. He was ashamed to be the son of man, and he was even more afraid of being looked down upon by others.
After joining Xu Sheng's team, Lin Qiu became an invisible person.
He is silent and lives like a walking zombie. Life and death have no meaning to him. Perhaps the only difference between him and zombies is that he will not actively attack humans.
Why? I'm already like this, why do you need to save me?
Brother Wei, is it really worth trading your life for mine?
Recalling Brother Wei's eyes filled with ardent expectation before he died, he asked himself over and over again, was it worth it? Is it really worth it?
From then on, Lin Qiu seemed to have changed little and was still an invisible person in the team.
Only he himself knows that everything is different!
The fire in his chest was ignited, and he began to take the initiative, study hard, and take on as many tasks as possible.
And all this finally broke out the moment Sister Zhong fell!
He realized that someone needed to make sacrifices. With a distance of several hundred meters and an unimpeded situation, a few women might be able to compete with the corpses for speed, but it was absolutely impossible now!
He turned directly to face the group of corpses, knocked down one, and then ran to the east gate without hesitation, not even looking back despite their shouts.
From the moment Brother Wei left, I!
Lin Qiu!
Don't live for yourself!
It will turn into a raging fire and light up the way forward!
