Seeing Qi Su rolling on the ground, his limbs beginning to twist abnormally in pain, Gao Dongye gritted his teeth——
"Kacha——"
A flash of interest flashed in Li Si's eyes, and he turned to look at the black hole of the gun pointed at his head with a half-smile:
"oh?"
Gao Dongye's eyes were red, and cold sweat broke out uncontrollably on his forehead. He suppressed the fear in his heart and forced out a few words from his throat:
"Stop it, now."
Qi Su, who was rolling on the ground, was in pain and lost consciousness. He curled up on the ground and made no sound.
Li Si blinked, looked at Gao Dongye quietly, and laughed for a while:
"This is the second time that you have exposed your murderous intention towards me. Well, for the sake of letting me see something interesting, I will let him go."
Gao Dongye's fingertips softened, and the heavy gun fell to the ground with a metallic impact.
Qi Su had a pale face, and his crouched body gradually unstretched, and he collapsed on the ground, staring at Li Si with ferocious eyes.
The murderous intent and distortion in his eyes made Li Si feel happy. He smiled and sat back on the chair, looking at the huge hole drilled by the centipede with interest.
As for Gao Dongye who had just pointed the gun at him, compared to the physical pain punishment, the mental torture was a hundred times more harmful to Gao Dongye.
Gao Dongye looked at Qi Su's completely distorted eyes, and smiled sadly with a pale face.
Li Si played with them while applauding. After all, for him, what could be more painful than watching his only friend change from a filial, optimistic and loving person to the twisted and crazy person he is now.
What's more, it's all because of himself.
…
As soon as the news came out that zombies were being raised in the base, everyone was in an uproar.
Mu Tang didn't see Lu Yan when he went back, so he could only turn back.
All the zombies she killed were cleared out and arranged neatly in a row.
In order to confirm the identity, all the corpses have been cleaned and all the blood on the face has been wiped off. What is surprising is:
Only one of these zombies is in the base, and the rest of the bases don't even know they exist.
In other words, they have not even survived as humans in the base!
They are like livestock, kept in cages just to be experimental subjects, without any human rights.
These zombies' skulls had all been pried open by Mu Tang. Even after facial repair, the facial features were still sunken to varying degrees.
Mu Tang stood aside and watched them turn over the corpses to investigate and collect evidence. It was nothing at first, but when her eyes fell on one of the corpses, she suddenly couldn't move away.
She originally saw these zombies in that cage. Except that their faces were almost cut in half and their bodies were covered in blood, they couldn't actually see their original appearance.
Now the blood on its face has been washed away, and although the rotten areas cannot be restored, its original appearance can still be vaguely seen.
Mu Tang watched intently, then suddenly walked over and squatted down in front of the corpse.
Its head was almost cut off in half by Mu Tang. The huge gap occupied the entire head, and its dim and tightened eyeballs stared blankly at the sky.
Mu Tang recognized it as the zombie that suddenly woke up at the end.
A distant voice came to my ears in a trance:
"Xiaotang, your father has an important meeting today, and your uncle is here to hold a parent-teacher meeting for you!"
"Xiaotang, happy birthday. Your father can't come today, but your uncle bought you a cake. It's your favorite..."
"Xiaotang is indeed the director's daughter, she is smarter than him..."
"What is this?" Mu Tang murmured to himself, and his eyes became sour uncontrollably. The sounds just disappeared at this moment, as if they were in a dream.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she raised her hand to touch her face. She touched the wetness and invaded her heart along the fingertips. Her heart suddenly contracted, and there was a kind of needle-like pain and numbness.
"I'm so sad, why are you crying?"
"Tangtang?" A familiar call suddenly came from behind him, and Lu Yan, who had disappeared for almost a whole day, finally returned.
As soon as Lu Yan entered the yard, he saw Mu Tang squatting alone next to a corpse, his shoulders trembling.
Mu Tang didn't say anything, but suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes. His fingertips were so hard that his joints began to turn white.
She raised her head, revealing her red eyes and face soaked with tears. The helplessness in her eyes made Lu Yan feel distressed in an instant.
He quickly knelt down and raised his hand to touch her face, wiping away the tears one by one with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice:
"Why are you crying suddenly?"
Finally hearing Lu Yan's voice, Mu Tang would involuntarily become like a child and rely on him wholeheartedly as long as he appeared here.
Mu Tang rushed into his arms, hugged her waist tightly, and buried her whole face in his arms.
Lu Yan soon felt a dampness coming from her clothes, and she was still crying.
He simply sat on the ground, hugged the little girl into his arms, let her bury her face in his neck, felt the moisture, raised his hand and stroked her hair gently:
"Don't you want to talk?"
Mu Tang shook his head and said in a low voice:
"I don't know, I don't know why I'm crying?"
The two people just sat in front of a row of corpses and hugged each other, attracting frequent glances from people in the yard.
I don't know since when, Lu Yan became accustomed to being intimate with Mu Tang in public.
Mu Tang's voice was choked, and she told her everything that happened today intermittently. She held Lu Yan's clothes in her hands and refused to let go.
Until she said what she had just heard in her ears, Lu Yan's hand stroking her hair suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell through the little girl on the body lying quietly next to her.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that he should be someone Mu Tang knew. Even if he can't remember it, he still instinctively sheds tears for the passing of this person.
It seems that they have a close relationship. Judging from his age, he should be a very trusted elder.
Kill the elders who are close to you with your own hands...
Lu Yan's heart trembled. When Mu Tang turned her head to look at the corpse again, he suddenly raised his hand to cover her eyes, pressed her into his arms with his hand, and said in a normal voice:
"Don't cry, it's okay. Maybe he has seen you before."
In fact, Mu Tang herself has probably realized that she is no longer as ignorant as before. Even if Lu Yan forcibly told her that this person had nothing to do with her, she would not believe it.
His little girl, no matter how hard he tried, he could not make her as carefree and free from the world as before.
The only thing he can do is to always stand behind her and let her know that every time she turns her head, he will be there.
"I'll carry you back, okay?"
Lu Yan's other hand forced open Mu Tang's hand that was tightly grasping the corner of his clothes, intertwined his fingers with hers, and discussed softly:
"Go back and prepare delicious food for you?"
Mu Tang lowered her head, took off Lu Yan's hand that covered her eyes, and nodded silently.
Lu Yan's mouth curved slightly, he stood up and squatted down with his back to her:
"Come on!"
The surrounding soldiers couldn't help but stop. The stunned Mu Tang wiped his eyes with a forced smile and threw himself on Lu Yan's back.
Lu Yan picked up her legs, bumped her on his back, and said in a brisk tone:
"Go home!!"
Then he turned around and said with a smile:
"We Tangtang won't get fat by eating. It seems we can cook more delicious food later. Let's cook all your favorite food today, okay?"
He usually always looks calm in front of outsiders, but today was so abnormal, Mu Tang knew that he wanted to make herself happy.
Mu Tang held her broad shoulders tightly with her slender hands, pressed her face tightly against Lu Yan's back, and muttered:
"good."
