Ling Mo urged while pushing open the dark door in front of him.
Squeak!
As soon as the door opened, a blast of cold air rushed in.
"call!"
Ling Mo immediately took a deep breath, and his head sobered up a lot. The ventilation conditions here were pretty good, at least much better than in the parking lot. If he stayed in there for a while, Ling Mo would wonder if his respiratory system was going to suffer.
…
He took a quick glance with his flashlight, and then selected one of the various passages: "Go this way."
"Those zombies are catching up soon, and there are more of them." Shana glanced back and said.
"It's okay. The shielding strength here has begun to weaken. Even if that kind of brain changer appears again, it can be dealt with." Ling Mo was already walking forward and pushed away a clothes hanger blocking the road.
But this clothes hanger had already rotted away. With a slight push, the lower part fell apart and crashed into a pile of clothes that looked like tattered rags.
A white object also emerged from the pile of clothes. Ling Mo shined a flashlight and immediately came face to face with the pair of black holes.
"There are corpses here too..." Ling Mo's scalp felt numb.
"A place like this must have been very lively before, so it's not unusual to see corpses. Besides, you've seen quite a few..." Shana shook her head and said as she strode over.
Ling Mo calmed down and quickly walked around, saying, "Didn't I think this place was not open? And... I have seen it a lot, but every time I see it, I still feel uncomfortable."
"Why?" Li Yalin asked as she followed behind.
"Everything belongs to its own kind. I always wonder if my relatives and friends have become like this..." Ling Mo whispered.
"But don't you also kill people? Human beings will feel pleasure when they see their enemies fall, right?" Shana asked sharply.
Ling Mo was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled to himself: "Yes, so human beings are very complicated."
"Is there both compassion and a cold-blooded side? It's indeed complicated enough." Shana said.
These words left Ling Mo speechless for a moment. This is what humans are like in the eyes of zombies...
At this moment, Ling Mo felt his sleeve being pulled.
He looked back and saw that Ye Lian's eyes were slightly red in the darkness, but they did not look bloody. Instead, they had a mysterious aura.
She blinked and seemed to be looking at Ling Mo carefully.
"What's wrong?" Ling Mo asked harmoniously.
"Brother Ling, you..." Ye Lian still stuttered a bit when speaking, but his enunciation was very clear, "That's... very good."
"Yeah." Ling Mo couldn't help but smile.
Why does this sound a little familiar to you?
"Ah, that's right!" Shana suddenly turned around, "Be careful not to step on..."
"Crunch..."
Ling Mo's body immediately froze as if under a immobilizing spell, including the expression on his face.
"Corpse..." Shana spread her hands innocently.
"Thank you... for the reminder..." Ling Mo squeezed out four words through his teeth.
There were a dozen zombies that came out of the underground parking lot. With so many mutated zombies, it would be a big problem if they were thrown anywhere.
But fortunately, most of them are freshly baked. Not only are they unfamiliar with their own bodies, but they are also not highly evolved.
These zombies are basically all that are left in the zombie factory. Thanks to Toshana, the baby zombies screamed quite hard...
"Don't rush out yet, take them around here. By the way, senior sister, hurry up and find those things, the ones I just told you." Ling Mo ordered.
"Yes!" After Li Yalin agreed, her figure flashed and disappeared.
"They are coming!" Shana shouted in a low voice.
Not far behind, there was the sound of the door being knocked open, and at the same time, there were the roars of zombies.
"Walk!"
Ling Mo lifted up the backpack behind him, grabbed Ye Lian beside him, and ran wildly in the darkness.
There was only a small distance ahead that was dimly illuminated by the flashlight's residual light, and Ling Mo's speed was not very fast either.
Ye Lian, who was being pulled, looked up at Ling Mo blankly, suddenly curious.
Why is there still a smile on his lips when the zombies are chasing him behind him? Aren't humans very afraid of danger and death?
Speaking of which, I rarely see him get angry because of his hard life, nor do I see him complaining...
Even when he curses, there is always a smile in his eyes...
"Humans... are so strange." This sentence suddenly popped into Ye Lian's head.
Some memory fragments vaguely flashed before her eyes...
It seems like they knew each other a long time ago, right?
Although she never felt any emotion or had any psychological fluctuations when she recalled those memories, she didn't know why but she was still happy to think about them.
…
At that time, this man would always have stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes. When he opened the door, he would have a cigarette in his mouth and look very tired.
But the moment he saw her, a relaxed smile would immediately appear on this person's face.
"Did you bring me something delicious?" The big hand would reach out and ruffle her carefully-tended hair.
"Are you eating instant noodles again? How many times have I told you that it's not good for your stomach, so can't you make something yourself?" She pushed his hand away and said.
"How can I cook it as deliciously as you?"
"I have to go to class, and I can only come on weekends!" She muttered as she walked inside.
"I did it." The guy followed her, and she knew without looking at him that he was staring at the lunch box in her hand and drooling.
"What did you do?" She started to clean up the messy coffee table and threw the coat on the sofa into the washing machine.
"Cooking noodles..."
"Instant noodles bar?"
"With added vegetables."
She sighed softly, turned to look at him, and said, "You are always like this..."
"Anyway, I have you to take care of me, housekeeper." He smiled.
"I'm not that old!" She pretended to be angry. "Besides, I can't always take care of you!"
"Hey, that's not okay. You promised my mother to take care of me for the rest of her life." He said shamelessly.
"You... you're so shameless! Forget it, it's great if you can do this, but don't become more disobedient..."
…
At that time, he seemed to have been acting very relaxed...
Ye Lian recalled some other episodes. These memories were something she had remembered intermittently these days, but she had never mentioned them to anyone.
Probably... that was when I just started to have the ability to remember...
She felt that she was very confused. Sometimes she could remember something, and sometimes she didn't know anything at all.
But no matter what, as soon as you open your eyes, his face will definitely appear in that layer of blood.
I want to bite him, I want to see his blood spurting out from his neck, I want to claw out his internal organs...
So hungry...so thirsty...
But...why can't I move?!
I really want to do it, but I can’t control it myself...
It’s so uncomfortable!
"Ahh..." She struggled hard and stared at the human in front of her.
"Ye Lian, don't move. Come and let me wipe your face." The human held a handkerchief and cautiously approached her.
"Ouch!" The intense irritation made Ye Lian extremely crazy. But she could only watch the other person approach her.
The breath that she longed for kept coming in through her nose. It even sprayed on her face and neck.
"My Ye Lian is indeed the prettiest, but it won't look good if it's stained with blood... Hey, don't move, it'll give me a headache if you do this..."
So noisy... such a noisy sound...
But the movements are very light and the eyes are very gentle...
Why? It's obviously prey...
Sometimes when his palm touches her face, there will be a temperature that makes her feel restless...
…
"By the way, this is human temperature."
Ye Lian's thoughts returned to this underground shopping mall and this corridor.
She was still looking at the hand held by Ling Mo, and a strange color suddenly flashed in her dull eyes.
"Body temperature..." She moved her fingers slightly, and slowly, very gently, she held Ling Mo's fingers.
In the dim light, Ling Mo was still running wildly, and he didn't notice Ye Lian's little movements.
However, he vaguely felt that his hand was getting colder, but instead of letting go, he held it tighter.
"The temperature of a human being... feels so comfortable." Ye Lian moved the corners of her mouth slightly. This was the first time since she became a zombie that she wanted to truly imitate this human being and show a relaxed smile.
In the darkness, her smile looked a little forced, but her eyes were much softer than ever...
She suddenly felt that for the cold and bloody zombies, human body temperature...whether it was the temperature of internal organs or blood, might be what really attracted them.
They have lost these, but they are chasing these...
"Brother Ling." Ye Lian suddenly said.
"Huh?" Ling Mo asked without looking back.
The zombies were chasing after me, and "bang bang" sounds could be heard from time to time.
However, in this complicated environment, they would not be able to catch up for a while.
"You...are taking care of...me now, right?" Ye Lian asked softly.
"Ah? Why are you asking this suddenly? It doesn't count..." Ling Mo grabbed Ye Lian's hand, led her to turn around quickly, and said breathlessly, "I wouldn't be able to survive without you. Besides, you guys
The higher the level of evolution, the less you need me to take care of you, right? Now you can dress yourself, and even underwear!"
His last words clearly contained some resentment...
"I...we...can take care of..." Ye Lian said intermittently.
While she was speaking, a loud noise came from behind, and then a large glass cabinet was heavily smashed less than ten meters behind them.
"Fuck!"
Ling Mo subconsciously pushed Ye Lian into his arms, and his mental tentacle network immediately opened.
The shattered glass fragments hit the tentacle net and were bounced back to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Ling Mo's chest heaved and he frowned and asked, "By the way, what did you just say?"
Ye Lian raised his head from Ling Mo's arms and shook his head slowly: "No... I said, we can take care of you."
"Huh? You've become a good boy. Hehe, just listen to me and take care of me..." Ling Mo smiled strangely.
Shana's voice came from the front: "Brother Ling?"
"Um?"
"You know we can't get cut by glass, right?"
"...Hahaha, isn't this my instinct?" (To be continued...)
