The Daily Life of the Zombie - Chapter 83: Crazy Man
Chapter 83: Crazy Man
Soon, two weeks passed in such a peaceful and seemingly extraordinary routine.
Since the TV was re-powered and the signal was restored, with the broadcast of the documentary program, many people joined the army every day, doing their best for the defense line and for mankind.
For this group of brave people, Gu Chen gave extremely preferential treatment, and even specifically asked the veterans to teach them well, and to ensure the safety of new blood.
In addition, as the days progressed, a research institute established by experts from top regions has gathered in the defense line, and has also developed a lot of targeted instruments. In the fight against mutant beasts and zombies, human beings have been transformed from inferior to inferior. Turning to the best, and gradually gained the upper hand.
With the support of more and more sufficient troops and various instruments, the speed of advancing the entire defense line has increased a lot. Even in the more dangerous clearing areas and hunting areas, good news has been reported, and the overall situation is getting better and better.
Xiao Xiao has been staying in the outskirts of K City these days and has not gone anywhere. She has managed the entire park with great success, and the number of customers who come and go every day is increasing day by day.
Xiao Xiao is now just teasing two hours a day, caring about the staff, learning about the customer’s adaptability to challenges and the feeling of enjoying various foods on the taste buds. The whole small life is so great.
It wasn’t until one day that she bumped into an old friend who appeared in the paradise, and her peaceful life began to shutter again.
“Huh?” Xiao Xiao looked at this seemingly familiar person unexpectedly, a little unsure if this person was the one she knew.
Who is this?
Do you still remember the Zhao Xu that Xiao Xiao met near X District, who made treat her a little differently?
Xiao Xiao is now a little unsure whether he is Zhao Xu himself, the main reason is that the appearance of the other party and the breath of the whole person are too different, and her mental strength is relatively weak now, and she cannot directly identify the identity of the other party.
In front of Xiao Xiao, this person has a long beard, and his hair has not been groomed for a long time, and he is wandering in the paradise without a soul, like a wandering ghost.
──At that time in District X, Zhao Xu led Han Liming and his team to evacuate to the defense line before the laboratory and the mercenaries fought. This seemingly wise decision was the beginning of his nightmare.
At the beginning, the evacuation went smoothly. Although some mutant beasts came to attack them, there were enough power users, so it was relatively easy to deal with.
But then they encountered several problems one after another. The first was insufficient supply. In order to protect the car from being damaged by the impact of mutant beasts, they would get out of the car to solve the problem when they encountered a herd of beasts, so the moving speed was slower and slower, resulting in enough supplies to be used up very quickly.
In addition, despite the additional medicine provided by Xiao Xiao, the two seriously injured comrades-in-arms, Huang Mao and Ming Yu, were unable to hold on to the pain.
First Huang Mao, a young man whose real name was Cao Hao, passed away on the road. In order to avoid problems, they had to endure the pain and cremated Cao Hao first, and took his ashes on the road.
But it’s not over yet. What makes things worse is that not long after, Ming Yu, who was lying in the car, turned into a dead body and suddenly became a zombie with supernatural abilities. If they didn’t reflect in real time and focus fire on it instantly, they would all died.
At that time, the situation was so urgent that their car was also damaged, so they changed from riding a car to moving on their feet.
The two consecutive blows made everyone lose confidence, and even started to complain about Zhao Xu who made this decision.
Although their power users don’t need food very much, they always need water!
After running out of water and medicine, they had no choice but to find an abandoned deserted town on the way to camp and see if a passing team could take them for a short ride.
And then, the nightmare came.
In that small town, there were no mutant beasts, no zombies, not even fights or bloodstains. When they entered the town, they felt horrified. There were even a few timid and shrinking suggestions that they wanted to change places.
It’s a pity that they ran out of ammunition and food, and they had no choice, so they had to bite the bullet and enter this weird town.
The functions in this town are quite complete. Although it is a little strange, there is still a lot of water under the well, which allows them to solve their urgent needs.
They spent the first night in that barren town safely, but early the next morning, the timid people were already clamoring to leave immediately, so Zhao Xu could only persuade them rationally. He pointed out that in their current state, when they went out to meet the mutant herd, they barely survived.
Several people understood that Zhao Xu’s statement was not unreasonable, but the feeling that came from somewhere made them prefer to go out and die rather than stay, so Zhao Xu could only choose to let them leave on their own.
But on the third day, the luggage of the few people who said they were going to leave stayed where they were, but all of them disappeared – no blood, and no traces of battle.
At this time, Han Liming and Zhao Xu also realized that the situation was not right, and hurriedly called a few people from the team to look for them. Maybe they were waiting for someone to save them?
It’s a pity that they searched all day, and without result. The only thing that was fortunate was that they did not encounter other strange things.
On the fourth day, the situation was even more serious. In addition to the missing people, two others had the same situation—the luggage was still there, but the people were gone!
At this time, their team had been reduced by half, and Zhao Xu also realized that those who were missing were probably more fortunate, so he gritted his teeth and said that he would go look for them during the day. If he didn’t find them at noon, he would just leave this weird place.
This time they found someone, but they’d rather not find…
It turned out that when they entered the village, they had already stepped into the trap. The entire deserted village was the territory of a mutant plant—poppy flower!
This poppy flower has psychedelic abilities before it mutates, and it is even more ferocious after it mutates. As long as the prey that is bewitched by it will walk into its carefully designed traps, obediently become its nutrients.
As Zhao Xu expected, the people who disappeared the next day had become mummified corpses hanging on the branches and leaves. On the contrary, the people who disappeared on the third day still had some signs of life, but they were very weak.
After finding someone, it is natural to start rescue, but unfortunately they are too weak to cause enough damage to the branches and leaves of poppies.
Han Liming directly pulled out his knife and was ready to go to work desperately, but only then did Zhao Xu realize that something was wrong—they originally consisted of 12 people, but Cao Hao and Ming Yu died on the way, so there should be 10 people left.
However, there were 5 missing on the second day, 3 missing on the third day, and there are indeed 4 fighting alongside him at the moment, 2 more!
What’s more, their power level is not low, how could they not be able to destroy the branches and leaves of mutant plants?
As soon as Zhao Xu thought of this, he tried his best to use his teeth and bit the tip of his tongue before he woke up—it turns out that the so-called barren town does not exist at all!
At this moment, all 10 of them were bound by an unknown branch and leaves, and the sky was only just getting dark. Judging from the footprints they left not far away, he is afraid that when they came to this trap, they were there less than 12 hours!
After regaining consciousness, Zhao Xu first tore apart the branches and leaves with force, and then attacked the branches and leaves that bound other people. Soon 10 people landed one by one. Unfortunately, everyone except Han Liming lost signs of life.
And Han Liming’s state is not very good, and it can even be described as a sullen breath. After all, he has fallen into a very deep illusion, and at the same time branches and leaves have penetrated his body. No matter how brave you are, if you lose too much blood, you will die.
“Zhao…Brother Zhao.” After Han Liming woke up from the illusion, he also realized that his state was not good, so he held Zhao Xu’s hand tightly.
“No… no… me… us, these… burdens, you… must… can, go back to… the defense line…” Hearing Han Liming’s intermittent words, Zhao Xu felt very regretful at this time. If… if he continued to fight with Dean Lin and the mercenaries in the X area at that time, maybe the situation would be better?
“What nonsense! I promised to take you back, and I will definitely take you back! I still have medicine. Just hold on!”
After saying this, Zhao Xu gritted his teeth, trying to convince Han Liming, but It was more like hypnotizing himself and muttering, “It’s okay! You’ll be okay!”
“Brother Zhao!” Seeing Zhao Xu’s collapse, Han Liming shouted out with his last strength.
After seeing Zhao Xu stunned, he said word by word, “This is our common decision, you are not wrong! As long as you go back alive, it will represent our victory!”
Han Liming stared at Zhao Xu closely and asked him to do it. Promise “Promise me! Live! With our hope, live! Promise me!”
“Okay, okay! I promise you, I promise you… Li Ming… Wake up, Li Ming…! At
this time, Zhao Xu was already weeping—because at the same time he said his promise, Han Liming had already closed his eyes with a look of relief and fell into eternal sleep.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Zhao Xu knelt on the spot, looked around, and found that there was no one else beside him, only him survived.
Why did the situation develop like this? Shouldn’t they return to the line of defense safely and live together?
First, the death of Cao Hao and Ming Yu, and then this situation happened again. God, what did he do wrong?
At this time, Zhao Xu thought of the culprit—the mutated poppy on the side, a white flower swaying on a huge rhizome, seemingly pure and flawless but with a hidden threat.
Zhao Xu glared fiercely, and then madly aimed at the white flower, and directly released all his abilities.
“Die, die ah ah ah ah ah ah!”
After a while of venting, the entire mutant plant became dilapidated, and even the surrounding environment was affected, and a blank space was directly cleared.
Zhao Xu stared blankly at the mutant plant that he had destroyed. He just knelt in the middle of the corpses of the team members. He knelt for the whole night without moving at all, as if he was repenting.
In the end, Zhao Xu set fire to this area, together with his team members, and then left this sad place sadly.
──
Zhao Xu stared blankly at the peaceful scene in front of him, and he couldn’t tell whether it was an illusion or reality.
“Li Ming… Huang Mao… I’m back… No, we’re back… Did you see it?” Zhao Xu muttered to himself a little crazy.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Xiao was at a loss, not knowing if he should go up and say hello.
To tell the truth, the two of them just contacted him with her mental power from a distance. Zhao Xu did not recognize Xiao Xiao at all, but his mental state is not good now. If he goes crazy and hurts the others Customer, Xiao Xiaoke will regret it too late.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao hesitated to go up to greet him – after all, she has lost her mental strength right now, but her body is still quite hard, if there is an emergency, it would be good to directly restrain him .
Unfortunately, before he said hello, several people Xiao Xiao knew had stepped forward and surrounded him.
“Sir, we found that you didn’t seem to apply for a new ID card, please come with us!” Zhang Zhongbo and a few people quickly surrounded Zhao Xu, and watched Zhao Xu’s every move with great vigilance.
What a joke, this is a dangerous person!
Zhao Xu did not enter the defense line in a formal way. Since he was stimulated that time, he has been in a state of semi-madness. After seeing the three-meter metal wall (that is, the wall of the Jiazi line of defense) blocking him, he directly used it. The most brutal way to break through.
When Xiao Xiao sneaked into the defense line, he knew that he had to detour through the wall, but the madman didn’t care so much. At that time, Zhao Xu only had the idea of ’returning to the defense line’, when he saw something blocking his eyes. Naturally destroy it.
After returning to the line of defense, Zhao Xu entered a state of uncertainty and elusiveness. If it wasn’t for the passing of people from Xiao Xiao’s side to attract the attention of Zhao Xu, who didn’t know where he was hiding, he would not have come here!
Seeing that there was no response, Zhang Zhongbo took out a professional electric shock stick to deal with power users, knocked him down with one stick, and asked a few people to directly carry Zhao Xu away, and then turned around and watched the play for a long time. Xiao Xiao said hello.
“I’m sorry, he’s a wanted criminal on our list of wanted criminals. Finally, a camera caught him going here. We hurriedly dispatched the police to arrest him. I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“No, that… What happened?” Xiao Xiao began to be curious about this person who had a relationship, wanted criminal? Doomsday still have this stuff?
Seeing that Xiao Xiao was a little concerned about what happened just now, Zhang Zhongbo was a little hesitant. After all, it was their mistake, so how should we solve it?
