Chapter 7: Observing the Night

Is there something?" The two walked to the corner of the wall, away from the camp. A Shuang looked around to check for any listening devices. Xing Lü had already confirmed that there was no surveillance here, and thus asked impatiently.

"Head, leader, please don't be angry!" The young man standing at the front was urged by his companions behind him, and after a long hesitation, he managed to utter this sentence.

Well, then throw it away!" said Xinglv, standing up, only to find that no one reacted. "Why is no one stopping me?"

You are certainly human, it's just..." A-Shuang scratched his head, unsure of how to express himself, "It's just that you have been modified?

Do you resent this world

"Shouldn't we eat steamed buns?" Xinglv widened her eyes. Although she did not understand what was so delicious about steamed buns, Xiaozhi said that Tuo Tuo was at the age where these things were necessary. Since she herself did not eat them, she might as well let them go.

As the heavy inner door slowly closed once more, everyone felt a mix of emotions in their hearts

At that moment, time stood still; everyone, including the soldiers on the tower, the onlookers from the convoy across the way, and those monitoring with cameras, had only the slowly advancing bun left in their eyes

Roar

Do you not want to look for your parents anymore? Do you not want anything at all? Do you just want to live like those old, weak, sick, and disabled people inside, having two bowls of porridge and half a steamed bun every day? Do you have any special skills? Do you have any abilities? You have nothing! Wanting to live a good life here... Dream on!

She cut the tent bag and looked up to see two dazed faces, shaking her head: "It's nothing! Stay calm!"

At that moment, a gunshot finally rang out from above, bang! The male zombie was hit in the shoulder, but it merely paused for a moment before continuing to move forward

No. "Star Journey" immediately denied, "I am human"

It seems as if nothing had happened just now

***

Xinglv had endured for a long time without seeing A Shuang withdraw his gaze, so he had no choice but to open his eyes and stare at him, his expression questioning

"Yes, indeed." A-shuang scratched his head, "Xinglv, I didn't mean to pry into your past; I am just curious about you..."

Having said that, he led the staff responsible for tidying up the matters through the inner door

Russia, Star Journey, are you angry?

"Are you all really going to leave?" Li Zhenke said with a serious expression, looking at the brother in front of him who was bowing his head and reading a book

However, for the male zombie, the shot to the head has yet to be fired.

No, they are no longer brothers; they are traitors

Upon seeing the living person within arm's reach, the female zombie that had been nearby immediately turned and walked over, growling lowly, with blood dripping as her breasts swayed.

This is precisely the girl who just threw the steamed bun

The searchlight had long been shining on that campsite, where a yellow tent was seen moving erratically. Then, a male and a female zombie crawled out, growling, stood up, looked around, and slowly walked towards the area with the most people

But what is fair

Go away

"I will eat when necessary." Xinglv did not wish to say more, turning a stern face to Tuotuo, "Are you going to eat or not?"

"But Xinglv, I have never seen you eat anything," Keqing said with concern. "You should at least eat something."

Soon, the male zombie approached a man who had fallen to the ground. The man's foot was entangled in a tent, preventing him from breaking free. In terror, he saw his former brother rolling his eyes and reaching out. In despair, he screamed loudly.

Those who are about to leave feel as if they have been granted a great amnesty, hurriedly organizing their belongings.

This loud shout sounded extremely jarring in the quiet, grave-like base

Just say it directly, I will not be angry

A-Shuang lay on the blanket, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Turning over, she saw Keqing from across the way, lying still with her eyes closed, seemingly serious. After observing for a while, A-Shuang noticed that even her breathing was faint, so steady that it seemed she didn't need to breathe at all. This made A-Shuang feel restless, yet she didn't know how to speak up.

"Look, that team is leaving even more thoroughly," Keqing nudged Ashuang, "There are only a few people left, five."

Indeed, several individuals who had initially remained silent now hesitantly approached: "Brother Li..."

Xinglv quietly gazed at him, and A Shuang felt as if there was nowhere to hide: "You, are you..."

Through thick and thin, having lost so many brothers, I once thought I had found comrades with whom I could share my life and death. Even though they had their shortcomings, I vowed to protect them until we reached our destination. Yet, I never expected that now, in a place of comfort, they would all forget the promises we made back then.

Opening my eyes, there was no zombie face in front of me. Looking down, I saw a zombie's body and head separated lying beside my feet. On the other side, a girl was cutting the tent straps for the man in her hands.

However, his smile of liberation lasted for a long time, yet he never felt any pain

I eat! ! ! ! Tuo Tuo's screams are incredibly piercing.

Everyone is wiping their sweat; not to mention whether anyone is wasting food these days, they have certainly experienced being forced to eat.

Completely unaware of A Shuang's question, which has already challenged human rights in the journey among the stars, without the slightest emotional fluctuation: "Why do you think so?"

Li Zhenke suddenly stood up, just in time to block the downward beam of the searchlight. The bright light instantly transformed into a massive shadow that enveloped nearly everyone, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression

A-Shuang stood still, feeling quite uncomfortable. It was a very strange sensation. He would rather Star Journey be angry than completely disregard his offense.

No, it's not worth it. Xinglv returned to the camp

Having eaten a warm meal and found a safe place, one should be able to sleep comfortably; however, the events that just occurred make it impossible to rest peacefully.

Just now, I was watching the exciting performance of the opposing team, and now I am feeling frustrated myself

At that moment, there was a sudden commotion on the opposite side, and then ... ...

The inner door is slowly opening, and faint voices can be heard from within; however, the door is too heavy for a person to squeeze through yet

Really not?

After the incident, A Shuang chased after Xing Lv, wanting to sincerely apologize

Huang Xian calmly responded: "If this zombie has antibodies, it could save thousands of people. You may say that I lack humanity, that I am heartless, and you may hate me and all the staff here, but I apologize, even if faced with this situation again, we would still act the same way"

The searchlight moved along with the two zombies, and strangely, no one on the tower fired a shot

Those who thought of reaching for a gun wore expressions of despair; they had forgotten that upon entering the observation area, in order to prevent disturbances, they had long been stripped of their weapons, except for the knives used for eating.

Tuo Tuo, holding his own steamed bun, shook his head with tears in his eyes: "I won't eat it! Xing Lvjie's sister, you eat it! I don't want to eat it!"

At this moment, the inner door emitted a low, continuous scraping sound, and many people finally rushed out, dressed in full biohazard suits. They were already aware that the male zombie had died, yet they remained unwilling to accept it, drawing blood samples from the corpse of the male zombie, while others were cleaning up the scene

"Are you some kind of experiment from a laboratory? Or have you been modified by some organization?" A-Shuang mustered the courage to speak, cautiously observing Xinglv's expression

Are there zombies in the observation area

Li Zhenke glared fiercely at the tower, but the soldiers atop the tower paid no heed to his gaze. After shouting, they slammed the window shut.

"No need to say more, I am a person, just like that." After saying this, Xinglv turned around, thought for a moment, and then looked back, "I do not wish to hear such remarks again, do you understand?"

The woman was almost completely naked, with her underwear in disarray hanging on her body, and there were noticeable bite marks on her neck

A sudden roar echoed, and from behind the zombie emerged a tall figure. He grabbed a piece of cloth and forcefully struck it against the male zombie, then pushed, sending the zombie crashing to the ground. He immediately bent down to begin untying the tent for the fallen man

However, Xinglv truly did not take the food seriously... Thus, her elegantly shaped arm curved into an arc, and then, with a forward flick, she let go... The steamed bun flew out in an even more graceful arc.

It is evident that while the two were engaged in their tasks, the man suddenly transformed into a zombie, and the woman unfortunately suffered the consequences.

Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the two individuals, stood up, clapped his hands, and walked back to the camp

Seeing his brothers so frightened, Li Zhenke lost even the interest to sneer. He certainly understood what these people were thinking. Although he felt angry, he had no choice but to compromise. After all, he himself was not confident that he could lead them to the north. Casualties along the way were inevitable, and none of these people knew if the next to die would be themselves

The long, piercing scream was suddenly interrupted, and then the opposing convoy was brightly illuminated. All the tents were lifted, and many people screamed as they crawled out, running towards the camp of the survival convoy

The observation area was not very spacious; with nearly forty people from the two convoys combined, there was hardly any room. As they crowded together, many found themselves with no way to retreat. When a large number of people from the convoy rushed over in a panic, they were disoriented and chaotic. Many fell to the ground, completely at a loss in their panic. In the darkness, upon hearing the sounds, people rushed out, not even having time to reach for their guns

Xinglv was about to hand over the full head to Tuotuo, but upon hearing this, he was taken aback and shook his head: "No, thank you"

Shoot quickly! You bunch of bastards! Shoot quickly!

Unable to discern Xinglv's emotions, A Shuang felt increasingly uneasy. However, having already spoken, he did not wish to stop: "Because you are completely unaware of certain common knowledge in society, yet possess such formidable strength, it is akin to... like those humanoid weapons created in movies."

Li Zhenke stared blankly at the sky. He knew that with so many people having left the convoy, those who remained, even if they did not wish to stay, had no choice but to do so

Is there still someone who suddenly turned into a zombie

The male zombie quickly broke free from the blanket, dragging the man on the ground a few steps. However, it could not move the tent that was fixed beneath the man's feet. Yet, he maintained a resolute expression, refusing to give up, and shouted: "Kick! Kick it over! No matter if it works or not! Kick it over!"

The man on the ground finally became ruthless, letting out a loud roar as he kicked out. The male zombie's calf was struck, causing it to lose its balance and fall forward, its grotesque face revealing a set of snow-white teeth, which happened to be directly facing the figure of the man being dragged by both hands.

"Leave! Everyone leave!" Li Zhenke suddenly erupted in anger, "Why say so much! Those who want to leave, just go! Don't talk to me! Get lost!"

"It's just three less than us." A-Shuang sipped the thin porridge, wiped her mouth, and said, "Oh, hot porridge, how delightful! Xinglv, are you really not going to eat?"

Tuo Tuo almost crawled over to snatch that bun from the grasp of Xing Lü, cradling it lovingly in his arms and stroking it, saying: "Treasure, your mother doesn't love you, but I do! I will never throw you away; I will cherish you until you are full!" After saying this, he took a big bite while looking at Xing Lü with a hint of grievance.

There is no ... ...

A scream filled with utmost terror, a familiar roar, caused all those present to change their expressions!

Oh! No!

Do you demean yourself? He smiled helplessly, thinking it over. It doesn't matter how she was in the past; who can still see the past now? The transformation has allowed all of us to start anew with the * picture * book

Everyone was in a daze, feeling as if they were dreaming. In this day and age, is there really anyone who would use food to threaten others? Food is a hundred times more precious than gold! Of course, no one believes that Star Journey would actually throw it away!

The title of "humanoid weapon" has already cast you outside the realm of humanity, which is detrimental to your integration into human society

Leaning dejectedly against the car, he waved his hand listlessly and said, "Let's all go, it's frustrating to watch."

This is fundamentally unfair

Do not ! ''

The person first stared in terror, and when the zombie's face was right in front of him, he closed his eyes and unexpectedly revealed a smile of relief

This base is truly a place that undermines one's will. Zhang Guohua, who finds himself in the same situation, holds half a steamed bun supplied by the base and sighs.

"Then our lives are not even worth as much as a zombie's?" someone exclaimed indignantly

Xinglv smiled faintly, her eyes fixed on the bun. Then, the bun seemed to slow down. She appeared to stroll leisurely forward, took a few strange steps, and reached out, just in time to catch the bun

The head of the Hangxian base also stepped forward; he had been hastily awakened. Looking at the body of the male zombie, he shook his head and bowed to the majority of people who appeared either angry, confused, or still in shock. He said: "You must be very angry and confused, I apologize, we do not have much to say. This man is the longest-surviving individual we have discovered since the outbreak. We received orders to capture such zombies intact and hand them over to the state for research, with the hope of developing an antibody. Therefore, when the guards discovered him, they did not handle the situation directly but reported it to our relevant personnel, which nearly led to a disaster. We have no excuses; this is our oversight. However, we ask for your understanding of our sincere intentions to contribute to the nation, humanity, and ourselves."

A-Shuang nodded cautiously, carefully got up, and waved to Xing Lü.

A collective sigh of relief

Call!

Someone on the tower shouted, "Quiet! Do you want to attract the zombies?"

The female zombie was about to pounce when another gunshot rang out, and she was shot in the head, collapsing to the ground

The man was still bare from the waist down, exposing his body, making it impossible to discern where his injuries were; however, it was evident that he had already turned into a zombie

Ah!
