To be precise, it's a human head wearing a standard military helmet.
They are the soldiers Qi Yang sent out to explore the road just now. This is just one of them. There are still twenty people who have not been seen yet.
But bad luck can also be expected.
"Lu Yan,"
Qi Yang suddenly spoke, his voice trembling, and he didn't know whether he was talking to Lu Yan or himself:
"I killed them, right?"
Even Qi Yang couldn't bear the pressure of more than twenty comrades dying because of his orders, even if he sent people out despite knowing the danger.
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, reason prevailed, and his voice was as steady as ever:
"Commanders before a battle must not have such thoughts. This is a taboo."
Qi Yang turned his head, pulled the corner of his mouth very reluctantly, and showed a smile that was not a smile. Only then did Lu Yan realize that his face was pale and he looked a little weak.
Once you fall into self-doubt, you will become defensive, your observation skills will be drastically reduced, and you will miss many opportunities, which will lead to more serious mistakes later.
And although it sounded a little cold, in Lu Yan's opinion, Qi Yang's choice was the right one.
If there is no one to explore the road, it will cause the large troops to directly run into danger, and the casualties will be even greater.
Many people have died in the last days, but there are still some people who are unwilling to become indifferent and value every life very seriously.
Qi Yang is really similar to Qin Zhen. They can accept sacrifice but are unwilling to let go.
only……
Lu Yan looked at the wall in front of him and smiled bitterly. In this situation, the result would be the same regardless of whether someone explores the path.
Unlike Lin Wanwan, Mu Tang felt no fear when looking at the wall in front of her. Instead, she looked very carefully at every piece of frozen limb inside.
After a while, she discovered that there were not only people freezing inside, but also zombies.
"Is this done by high-level zombies?" Mu Tang suddenly realized.
Lu Yan heard the voice and turned to look at her:
"How to say?"
He also saw the body fragments of the zombies inside, and then he was not sure whether it was a high-level zombie or a high-level psychic with twisted psychology.
He had seen such a survivor before, and after the apocalypse, he was trapped in his hardware store with his daughter.
When Lu Yan was looking for tools, he opened the door and saw dark brown blood stains on the ground.
I originally thought it was another tragedy caused by someone being infected, but I didn't expect to find a living person in the room behind the store.
At that time, he was handing a spoonful of spoiled and smelly food to the corpse of a girl, and said crazily:
"Eat quickly, eat quickly!! I couldn't bear to eat it, so I left it for you! Why don't you listen to daddy?!"
The body did not actually rot, but was simply air-dried.
However, the corpse's head was covered with an iron bucket, and all its limbs were pierced and connected by steel wires. With her dress covered in gray-brown bloodstains, she looked like a large doll.
It's just that the legs of this "doll" have been broken, and the dried skin has been torn open, revealing the same dried flesh and yellow-brown broken bones inside.
The man held up the spoon for a while but got no response and became impatient.
He shook the corpse in front of him crazily and shouted:
"I'm talking to you!! Why are you disobedient!!"
The dried body shook unbearably under his gravity, making a heart-wrenching "squeaking" sound, and the iron bucket on its head made a "clanging" sound.
The man turned a blind eye, suddenly pulled on the steel rope connected to his daughter's body, and muttered:
"Move, move quickly!!"
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the corpse's hand was broken!
The man was stunned, grabbed the broken arm, held it in his hand and murmured:
"Why is it broken? Why is it broken..."
As he spoke, he suddenly burst into tears:
"Nanny, I'm sorry, dad didn't mean it, dad gently..."
However, before this "moment of tenderness" had passed for two seconds, he returned to his crazy look and pulled hard on the steel rope in his hand:
"Move, why don't you move?!"
It was just a simply dried corpse. It didn't have the dexterity of a carefully made doll. It was impossible for him to move as he wished.
Lu Yan couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him:
"She's dead."
And looking at this death figure, it was not a normal death from starvation.
As soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, the man stopped what he was doing, turned his head sharply, and looked at Lu Yan. His turbid eyes shot out a ferocious light similar to that of a beast through the gaps in his messy and sloppy hair:
"What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter is alive and well, how could she die?!"
The next second he shook his head violently, holding his head like crazy and crying:
"Dead, dead, my daughter is really dead, I killed it with my own hands, I killed it!!"
He let out an indistinct whine in his throat, and said intermittently like crying:
"There is no food, and she is still crying...Why is she so disobedient? What should I do if she attracts the zombies outside?!"
"I didn't want to raise her in the first place. It's so annoying, so annoying!! Because of her, I can only stay in this small city!! Otherwise, I would have gone out!!"
"Why didn't she die and stay in this shop? She still pretended to me, 'Dad, you eat, I'm not hungry' for the last bit of food!! Just like her hypocritical mother!!"
"I really want to kill her... I want to kill her!! Damn it, what time has it been, and she still comes here with a comb and asks me to comb her hair! Every move she makes is so annoying!!"
Lu Yan's eyes fell on the head of the dried girl's corpse. Although there was an iron bucket holding the head, two braids were still hanging down from the bottom of the bucket.
Even though a lot of hair has fallen out, it is still intact with two delicate braids. It is not difficult to see that the person who combed the hair is actually very careful.
The madman suddenly rushed in front of Lu Yan, staring at Lu Yan with a pair of red bloodshot eyes, and sprayed out a foul-smelling and moist breath:
"So I killed her, hahaha, do you think I did the right thing? I endured it for so long and finally killed her. She was still screaming before she died!"
"She said, 'Dad, please stop hitting my daughter, it hurts...' Hey hey hey, she didn't know, when I heard her crying these words, I just wanted to smash her head!"
As he spoke, he suddenly kicked away the iron bucket that was tied to the girl's body and said in a show-off manner:
"Show you my masterpiece!"
I saw that the girl's head had been smashed beyond recognition, and a deep pit was dented downward. Because it was not dried in an iron bucket, dense maggots crawled inside, which was disgusting.
The man suddenly screamed again and knelt down in front of the corpse. He tremblingly touched the huge gap on her head. He didn't care at all when maggots crawled onto his hand. He only said with a distressed face:
"Nanny, what's wrong? Why is there such a big cut on the head? Who did it?! Don't cry, don't cry...Dad, give me a hug, don't be afraid..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
This man is completely crazy.
Lu Yan could imagine what happened.
I have been raising my daughter with all my heart, but I feel resentful towards this young child. As time goes by, my resentment becomes more and more serious.
In the end, due to the outbreak of the apocalypse, the dwindling food, the zombies wandering outside the door, and the fear of his crying daughter all turned into huge pressure and made this man completely lose his mind.
He truly loves this daughter, and he also hates her with all his heart.
After killing his daughter, he felt guilty and did not want to believe the evil he had done.
In the end, his daughter's body was kept intact, but her head was covered with an iron bucket to escape the guilt in her heart.
The extremely quiet room and his daughter's body completely drove him crazy, which is why he looks crazy now.
Lu Yan originally wanted to take the things and leave, but the man suddenly regained consciousness at the end and knelt on the ground begging Lu Yan to kill him.
Lu Yan kindly reminded:
"You can kill yourself."
His face was filled with tears and he kept shaking his head. He didn't have the courage to commit suicide. After killing his daughter, he tried countless times with a knife, but in the end he couldn't do it.
Lu Yan sneered:
"You have already experienced the pain of killing and the torture of guilt. Do you want an unrelated person to suffer the same pain and torture as you?"
The man was stunned, but he only loosened his grip slightly, and then rushed forward again, kowtowing one after another:
"Please, please..."
A red blood mark soon appeared on the ground. The blood on his forehead followed it and dripped into his collar.
People have always been selfish. If you can escape from hell, what does it matter to others?
Lu Yan finally pulled the trigger and looked at the man holding his daughter's body, smiling with a look of peaceful relief.
He put away the gun expressionlessly, pulled down the rolling shutter door and left.
Lu Yan encountered many such people in the future. It can only be said that this disaster exposed many people's true nature, caused many people to collapse, and even distorted many people's personalities.
Therefore, he was not sure whether this was the work of a high-level superpower or a high-level zombie.
