ight have to look into a case from ten years ago."Ripples said softly.OK, I understand! I'll let the team know.Xiao Zhang held his phone in his left hand and a talisman in his right. As he was about t...Mat Tao unconsciously clenched Yun Rou's hand, causing her to cry out in pain. Only then did he realize his strength had increased, and he loosened his grip, saying:
"There's a zombie by the electric gate. I'll help you step over it, let's go inside first and talk."
After all, there were few zombies in the yard. Now, at least thirty zombies were swarming toward them, and he couldn't handle it.
"Great!"
Yun Rou gritted her teeth and agreed. After all, saving her life was the most important thing right now.
Two people quickly went past, Yun Rou, with Ma Tao's help, stepped on the heads of the zombies and climbed onto a one-and-a-half meter electric gate.
Yunrou flipped over lightly, landing softly in the courtyard. Only then did Ma Tao let out a sigh of relief. One foot was already planted on the head of the zombie he used as a stepping stone, about to heave himself up.
Suddenly, Ma Tao felt a sharp pain in his ankle. He looked down and saw a zombie with only half its body left, biting viciously into his ankle.
With a cry of "Ouch!", Ma Tao screamed in pain. His voice and the blood flowing out immediately attracted more zombies. Ma Tao was furious, he directly plunged the doorknob into the head of one zombie, then forcefully pulled back his foot. Sadly, a piece of skin was still torn off, blood gushing out, which made the zombies smelling the blood even more excited.
"Taoge, come in quickly!"
Yun Rou urgently urged Ma Tao, she also saw that the other party had been bitten by a zombie, but now she still needed him to help her enter the house to take shelter, so she pretended not to see it.
Ma Tao knew he had to stop the bleeding now, or else he would attract more zombies along the way. The zombies in the yard were already closing in, and Yun Rou was still waiting for him to rescue her. Gritting his teeth, he endured the pain and flipped over the electric gate, rushing towards Yun Rou.
Yunrou, relying on her small and nimble stature, kept dodging the zombies' attacks and bites. She felt her strength rapidly draining away, and she was starting to feel dizzy and lightheaded. She couldn't hold on for much longer.
Ma Tao saw Yun Rou in danger and immediately grabbed the folding chair by the guard room door, swung it up, and knocked the surrounding zombies away. Then he rushed to help Yun Rou. Before the chair broke apart, he cleared a path to the unit door.
Ma Tao pulled Yunrou and quickly pulled open the unit's anti-theft door, then blocked the approaching zombies outside.
But this time the zombies were incredibly persistent. Unlike before, after losing Wu Lianyi's scent, they didn't give up. The pungent smell of blood now excited them further. They started scratching at the security door with their claws. This door stood between them and their delicious meal.
"Taoge, you're hurt, what should we do We need to bandage it as soon as possible."
Yunrou said in a trembling voice.
"Hiss!"
Ma Tao gasped, his face contorting into a menacing grimace. Veins bulged at his temples, giving him a frightening appearance.
Yun Rou, through the ripped hem of the man's work pants, saw that Ma Tao's bite wound was starting to turn black. This wasn't a good sign at all. She immediately said:
"Tao Ge, what floor are we going to If the blood keeps flowing, you won't be able to take it."
"Go to the sixth floor, Lian Yi's apartment is in room 602. The key is under the doormat."
Sweat trickled down Ma Tao's temple, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Then let's hurry!"
Yún Ròu's eyes flashed, confirming that Mǎ Táo wouldn't change in the short term, so she immediately said.
Ma Tao gritted his teeth and climbed the stairs in front, shielding Yun Rou behind him. When the two reached the fifth floor, they saw two zombies wandering in the stairwell. Ma Tao glanced at the mutated faces of the two zombies and discovered that these two seemed to be Wu Lianyi's neighbors.
If the two want to go to the sixth floor, they have to deal with these two zombies. Otherwise, it's impossible for them to climb up in such a narrow stairwell because of the bloody smell, both zombies have changed direction and are rushing towards them. Since they can't go down the stairs, the two zombies just rolled down.
Ma Tao gritted his teeth, holding onto the deformed folding chair that was just a frame left. He slammed it hard at Wang Qiang who had rolled down first with his head cocked at an unnatural angle. After a burst of blood and flesh, he completely sent the other party away.
Next came Wang Qiang's lover. Her hair was disheveled, her face covered in blood, she roared and moved towards Yunrou who was hiding, only to be crushed in the head by a kick from Ma Tao. The corridor fell silent instantly.
Those hiding behind cat eyes, peeking at the scene, were all frightened by Ma Tao's brutality. They dared not make a sound, fearing he might use them as his victims.
Yun Rou looked at Ma Tao's trembling body, her eyes flashed a dark light, then she took a step forward, supported him, and said in a low voice:
"Brother Tao, let's hurry up and go. Don't attract the attention of others."
Ma Tao felt his mind was starting to become muddled, he could only blankly nod and mechanically walked upstairs. He finally arrived at the door of room 602.
Yúnróu, following Mǎtāo's instructions, went to search for the key under the foot mat. Unfortunately, she turned the entire mat over but couldn't find the key.
"Tao Ge, I don't have the key!"
Yun Rou bit her lip and said.
Ma Tao also saw, at this time his eyes were somewhat scattered, limping forward, with a hard pull, he opened the security door, and then gently pushed the old wooden door, the door opened smoothly, but he also fell headlong to the ground, lost consciousness.
Yunrou's face, which had been etched with terror just moments ago, was now blank. She rubbed her temples, feeling a slight dizziness that sent a chill down her spine. She knew this wasn't a good sign. Glancing at Ma Tao sprawled on the doorstep, a glint appeared in her eyes. Instead of rushing inside, she calmly dragged him out of the room.
Then, she drew the deformed folding chair from the other person's hand and smashed it hard against their head. It didn't matter that the other person had already been bitten by an evolution failure; they were going to become a zombie anyway. It might as well be her who dealt with them now.
The dull sound of "bang bang bang" echoed in the corridor. Wu Lianyi was fast asleep, oblivious to it all. Otherwise, she would know how Ma Tao died, smashed to death by the very vine he had been protecting.
After the sound ceased, Yun Rou leaned on the banister, gasping for breath. She felt increasingly dizzy, wishing she could just fall asleep in the next moment.
Yun Rou bit her tongue, trying to keep herself awake. Then she dragged Ma Tao's body to the stairwell and with her last ounce of strength, burst into room 602.
She pulled the burglar-proof door shut, followed by the wooden one, and then Yunrou leaned against the door panel, slowly sliding down. She didn't have the strength to move anymore. Her eyelids felt heavy as a thousand pounds, slowly closing until in the very last moment, she realized that the entire room was an empty one, devoid of anything at all.
Bastard
The remaining words that were left unsaid, along with Yunrou's faint as she collapsed to the ground, fell silent.
Before the sun rose on the second day, another wave of people began to feel dizzy and feverish, marking the start of a second round of evolution.
But at this time, no one knew what would happen to those who fainted. They believed that these people who fell into a coma would turn into monstrous human-eaters when they woke up. Some cruel people directly pushed the unconscious people out of their houses, while others, unwilling to give up on their loved ones, isolated them to prevent accidents from happening. For a time, all sorts of human nature were being played out everywhere. last burst of life, that it wouldn't last long.Yingying lifted her arm, which had been pierced, and pulled a jade pendant from her neck, placing it on the baby's swaddling clothes.
