So thirsty...
Really thirsty...
My whole body felt like it was drying up, like a dry riverbed where the last drop of water slowly evaporated under the scorching sun.
The blood all over the body became extremely viscous, and it solidified and stuck together. It was as if the heart was being drilled tightly into the hand, and it was squeezed tighter and tighter.
There were dense roars of zombies in their ears. They opened their mouths wide, stared at the sky with their gray eyes, stretched out their hands, and tore at the air.
But where am I?
where am i...
Mu Tang searched eagerly, trying to find herself among the countless zombies.
The endless screams, the same dead fish eyes, the never-ending greed and hunger.
found it!
But...who is this person with blood on his face and chewing minced meat in his mouth?
Is this me?
this is me! ! !
…
Lu Yan, who had been standing by the bed all day and night, looked at the person lying on the bed with red eyes. At this time, his face had become extremely haggard, the stubble on his chin had not been shaved, and his whole person looked sloppy.
The dryness and pain in his eyes did not make him close them. Lu Yan was afraid that he would miss something.
At this moment, the person who was lying quietly on the bed suddenly raised her slender hands and covered her neck, as if someone was strangling her neck tightly, and she let out an unbearable whimper with her mouth half open.
"Mu Tang!" Lu Yan whispered.
But Mu Tang, who was trapped in a nightmare, couldn't hear his call. She just kept rolling on the bed, like a fish out of water and dying, desperately opening her mouth and gasping for air.
She began to scratch her neck crazily, and the bandages that Lu Yan had carefully wrapped fell apart with her movements.
Mu Tang seemed to feel no pain, desperately scratching the skin on his neck with his scarred fingertips.
Soon, the newly scabbed wounds on her fingertips collapsed, and her body was covered with blood marks left by her scratching.
Lu Yan quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from continuing to harm him.
"Mu Tang, Mu Tang!! Wake up!!"
"So thirsty..." A hoarse voice came from Mu Tang's throat.
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment. When Mu Tang said she was thirsty, of course she wasn't talking about water. What she wanted was probably...
blood.
Mu Tang suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, revealing a pair of extremely scarlet pupils, full of desire and longing.
"Lu Yan, I feel so uncomfortable..." She said intermittently and shook her head:
"I didn't eat anyone..."
"I don't……"
Lu Yan didn't understand what Mu Tang said, but his heart trembled because of her crazy look. He quickly reached out and touched her face, comforting her gently:
"I know, I know. You didn't eat people. You have always behaved well. How could you eat people?"
Mu Tang suddenly reached out and hugged Lu Yan, burying her head in Lu Yan's neck, tears streaming down her cheeks and into Lu Yan's collar.
Lu Yan felt the dampness, raised his hand, and gently stroked Mu Tang's back one after another.
However, this kind of tranquility could not last long. Lu Yan suddenly felt that Mu Tang's body stiffened, and then she suddenly had a fierceness and murderous intent that only beasts can have.
Lu Yan quickly held Mu Tang's shoulders and pushed her away from his arms. Almost at the same time, Mu Tang bit the aorta in Lu Yan's neck!
When the attack failed, Mu Tang quickly rushed towards Lu Yan!
The explosive power and speed of her muscles increased exponentially. Even Lu Yan had no time to react before he was knocked down by her!
Mu Tang sat astride Lu Yan's waist, pressing him tightly.
Her big eyes didn't contain any human emotions, only an inorganic and cold murderous look.
However, even with such a pair of wild beast eyes, tears flowed out uncontrollably and fell on Lu Yan's face drop by drop.
Mu Tang looked straight at the aorta in Lu Yan's neck, breathing heavily, as if he was forcibly suppressing something.
Lu Yan sighed softly and said softly:
"Since you want to bite someone, why are you crying so sadly?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, stroked her cheek with his thumb, and wiped away the tears bit by bit:
"My face is wet with tears. It doesn't look good this way. Don't you like to be beautiful the most?"
Mu Tang just stared at him blankly, letting him wipe away the tears on his face bit by bit.
After Lu Yan wiped away his tears, he sat up and slowly held her in his arms. His deep voice sounded:
"I know you won't bite, I believe you, we Mu Tang can control ourselves, can't we?"
Just like guiding a child, he patiently guided word by word:
"Don't be afraid, calm down, I will stay with you."
Lu Yan's voice flowed slowly into Mu Tang's ears like a lullaby, causing her eyelids to become heavier and heavier. Her stiff back gradually relaxed, and her whole figure was like a doll with its strings cut off, so obediently she shrank in his arms.
Lu Yan patted Mu Tang's back gently until she fell asleep completely.
After carefully placing Mu Tang, who was asleep again, on the bed, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, at least Mu Tang woke up, which was more important than anything else.
As for the cause of the previous coma and the sudden surge of zombie instincts, these things may take a lot of effort to figure out.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Qin Zhen's voice sounded outside:
"Xiao Lu, are you okay? Why is there so much noise in your house?"
Qin Zhen must have heard the loud commotion just now, and luckily he said it specifically yesterday, otherwise Qin Zhen's carefree temperament would have probably opened the door and come in long ago.
Lu Yan opened the door and walked out:
"It's okay, Mu Tang woke up just now."
Qin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief:
"Awake? That's good, that's good."
As he said that, he looked behind him again and wondered:
"Where is that person?"
Lu Yan shook his head:
"Asleep again."
"Asleep again?! The little girl can really sleep." Qin Zhen said casually without thinking too much. He came to Lu Yan for other reasons.
"That boy, it probably only took a few hours." Qin Zhen said in a low voice.
Xia Sen has been basically unconscious since yesterday. He has reached the end of his strength and has a lifeless look on his face. It is estimated that it will only last a few hours.
Lu Yan had no expression on his face and nodded nonchalantly. Even if Xia Sen was not dead, he didn't want to see him anymore.
Qin Zhen hesitated for a while, and finally said slowly:
"Xiao Lu, although you and Lin Yatou don't talk, how much can I guess that the reason why Mu Tang is like this has something to do with Xia Sen? So Xia Sen is the one who cut Mu Tang's neck?"
Lu Yan didn't answer, and Qin Zhen didn't expect him to answer either. He just continued:
"Xia Sen, this kid, has evil intentions. He has harmed us several times before, and now he is like retribution. So I, Lao Qin, have no conscience today. I'm sorry for wearing my military uniform. I just thought he was bitten by a zombie. But Ask about the cause of death.”
"Of course, I don't blame you for saying this. I'm just a little sad. After all, we have been comrades in arms for so many years. I think you should at least believe me."
After Qin Zhen said this, he smiled bitterly and patted Lu Yan on the shoulder:
"Look at me, why are you so sensational? It's not my style at all, Lao Qin. I won't say it any more!"
Lu Yan smiled helplessly:
"Old Qin, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the matter is very complicated and I don't want to involve you."
The fewer people who know that Mu Tang is a zombie, the better. Even Qin Zhen, Lu Yan insists on not letting him know if possible.
"Okay." Qin Zhen did not continue to pester, and laughed loudly:
"I can't hurt the spring and autumn anymore because of your words, otherwise I won't look like a big man at all!"
Lu Yan smiled and said:
"You are the toughest guy in our military camp, so you can't keep a sad face all day long."
The two laughed together.
After laughing, Qin Zhen's expression became serious again:
"One more thing, we can't stay here any longer. The order from above has been issued. We have to rendezvous with the main force and then return to the base."
Qin Zhen paused, glanced at the stairs, and softened his voice:
"After that boy's business is over, we will set off."
