Chapter 21: Chili
“He seems to be using a bow and arrow?” Shen Cheng asked in surprise.
In peacetime, bows and arrows belong to sports competitions, and there are really not many people who can use them proficiently. It is not bad to find one or two people who can use bows and arrows in a small city. I did not expect to be met by Xu Lei and Shen Cheng.
“Brother Xu, did you think he was the superman that the military was looking for?” Shen Cheng turned over and flicked the burnt cigarette **** out of his hand. The cigarette **** drew a faint bright line from the height of the 26th floor. Falling into the boundless darkness.
Xu Lei shook his head and smiled: “It shouldn’t be. If the use of bows and arrows is also a superman, wouldn’t the sniper also be a superman, but this person looks very young, and it is quite interesting to come out to kill zombies in the middle of the night.” , Xu Lei couldn’t see clearly the appearance of the black shadow man, he could only roughly infer the age of the black shadow man from his feeling and body shape.
Shen Cheng was a little frustrated. Finding a superhuman meant that he and Xu Lei could leave this ghost place. Shen Cheng was not afraid to kill zombies, but let himself observe what superhumans he was looking for and endure hunger on the roof. Starving and feeding mosquitoes, if there is no clue for ten days and a half months, don’t you have to stay here all the time.
Xu Lei looked at the Sombra with interest and found that the Sombra seemed to be shooting zombies purposefully, “Shen Cheng, what do you think this person is doing, what purpose does he seem to have in killing zombies?”
“What is the purpose?” Shen Cheng saw too many survivors living like mice, and said with disdain: “One is to find food, and the other is to escape from the city. These people don’t know how to unite against zombies. Up to now, they still dream of an army to rescue them. Haven’t they thought of saving themselves?”
“No…!” Xu Lei denied: “This shadow man seems to be cleaning the zombies along the road. Look carefully, he only shoots the zombies on the road, and the surrounding zombies are not within the range of his attack. He should be clearing a passage for the survivors to leave the city, very interesting guy”.
Xu Lei and Shen Cheng were discussing Sombra, when the walkie-talkie suddenly broke the silence: “Attention, all combat teams, a superman was found near the Chengnan Suguo Supermarket, please quickly move closer to the Chengnan Suguo Supermarket and repeat. Once again, discover the superhuman!”
Xu Lei and Shen Cheng jumped up from the ground at the same time, and finally discovered the superhuman. As long as they find the superhuman, they can go home: “Go, go to the south of the city! See what the superhuman looks like. “.
The Black Shadow Man is only one of the objects observed by Xu Lei and Shen Cheng, and it did not attract the attention of the two. At most, it is used as a post-dinner conversation. There are many people like the Shadow Man in the city. Who would pay attention to an ordinary person? What the survivors are doing.
The shadow man is Lu Ziming who is out to explore the road. Lu Ziming, who is like a ghost, shuttles on both sides of the road to find the best route for evacuation from the city. Many roads are blocked by abandoned vehicles, unless the clearing vehicle is used to clear the channel. , Otherwise there is no way to pass. The evacuation route cannot tolerate the slightest error. Once the vehicle is unable to pass, it will inevitably attract a large number of zombies around. There is only one chance, so Lu Ziming has to be cautious.
Lu Ziming is willing to postpone the evacuation time, and is unwilling to risk his life.
Lu Ziming felt as if he had a pair of eyes staring at him all the time. Every time he looked back, he couldn’t find it. Looking up at the buildings hidden in the dark, Lu Ziming couldn’t help but smile. Maybe he was nervous, maybe really. Someone is standing behind the window of the building, staring at himself through the thick curtains, but what can they do?
The night was already very deep, Lu Ziming did not return to the substation, but came to Cheng Chen’s home, standing on the balcony looking at the opposite building in a daze.
At this moment, Lu Ziming seems to have seen Tang Yu’s figure in his mind again. His slim figure, charming smile, stubborn personality, cheerful, lively, and willful, when others are unwilling to get along with him, is Tang Yu was by his side. When someone said bad things about Lu Ziming behind his back, it was Tang Yu who jumped out to defend himself. Since then, Tang Yu has been nicknamed Xiao Jiao.
Since then, beside the lonely figure on the boulevard of the school, a beautiful scenery has been added. Tang Yu always walks silently with Lu Ziming. In the school library, you can always see the two of them. Studying homework together, chatting together.
The disharmonious relationship between the two attracted countless criticisms. Tang Yu had never complained in front of Lu Ziming, but Lu Ziming knew what kind of pressure Tang Yu was under. The pressure came from the school, teachers, classmates and family. Everyone opposed the two getting along, but the stubborn and willful Tang Yu still went his own way. All this was seen by others, and it was attributed to the rebellious period of youth.
Lu Ziming and Tang Yu are such a stand-alone pair. For this reason, Tang Yu’s parents threatened to transfer school. Lu Ziming thought that he would never see Tang Yu again after school started.
Lu Ziming felt a wave of irritability, a depressed pressure suppressed in his heart, and shouted at the opposite building, “Tang Yu, you must not die, don’t you want to see the most beautiful scenery? I will take you there. Jiuzhaigou and Lijiang, don’t you want to see the sea? We go to Hainan and Maldives. You must survive!”
“Woo…Woo…”, the wind is blowing, and the wind blows away the sultry summer heat, but it will not clear the troubles in Lu Ziming’s heart. A dark cloud slowly covered the bright moon like a disk, and the whole earth was plunged into darkness. Lu Ziming lit a cigarette, and the choking smell of tobacco immediately made Lu Ziming unable to cough. Somehow, Lu Ziming started to like the smell of cigarettes.
The summer wind comes and goes quickly. The thick dark clouds did not bring a cool scorching rain, blowing away the summer heat, but making the city even more sultry. Lu Ziming sat on the balcony. Shang fell asleep unknowingly.
Without the fun of the city, without the annoying alarm clock, when a ray of sunshine from Chenxu hit the balcony, Lu Ziming’s eyes fell infatuated. After yawning, Lu Ziming turned over and sat up from the chair. He raised his hand to look at the “Longines” top-quality watch that was taken from the zombie on his wrist. This is the benefit of the Dark Ages. You don’t need to spend money to buy anything. .
“It’s eight o’clock”, Lu Ziming jumped up like a needle, and he vaguely remembered that he had only been asleep for a while.
“It’s time to go back.” Yesterday, I made an appointment with Cheng Chen early in the morning to find vehicles for evacuation. A truck could not take all the survivors away.
Lu Ziming looked back at Building No. 7 on the opposite side, and turned to leave. Just as he turned to leave, he seemed to see something in the corner of his eyes: it was a figure of a person, a figure familiar to him, “Tang Yu”, Lu Ziming turned fiercely and rushed to the balcony, yelling excitedly: “Tang Yu, here I am!”
“Lu Ziming, I am here!”
Lu Ziming was suddenly surrounded by joy, his eyes moistened instantly, “Great, Tang Yu is not dead, really is not dead”.
Lu Ziming didn’t know how he rushed downstairs, until he was standing downstairs, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Tang Yu which number was on the floor, but what does it matter? Perhaps it was because of the excessive movement just now. Numerous pairs of surprised eyes appeared in Building 7 and Building 8, curiously looking at Lu Ziming downstairs.
“Lu Ziming, what’s the matter? Did you find Tang Yu?” Yan Hangguang appeared behind the flower bed downstairs with a bow and arrow on his back. Yu!”
Lu Ziming looked up at Tang Yu upstairs, counting the floor number in his heart, “803, yes, it should be 803”.
“Lu Ziming, wait for me!” Yan Hangguang followed Lu Ziming, looking at the surrounding environment nervously, as if zombies would jump out of that corner at any time.
Lu Ziming did not lose his alertness due to his excitement. The zombies downstairs in No. 7 were not included in Lu Ziming’s removal. When Lu Ziming was found running over, he made a “cooing” sound from all around. Lu Ziming took off the bow and arrow behind his back and was about to shoot. He saw Yan Hangguang chasing after him: “Yan Hangguang, do you want to be a zombie hunter?”
“think!”
“Kill them”, Lu Ziming pointed to the three zombies that were surrounding him.
“The heart must be calm, the hands must be steady, the eyes must be accurate, the archery posture must be correct, breathing must be steady, movements must be smooth, smooth, and stretched…”
Lu Ziming didn’t have time to ask Yan Hangguang’s archery practice yesterday. Now is the best opportunity to test the effect. With a “wish”, Lu Ziming clearly felt Yan Hangguang’s nervousness, and an arrow hit the zombie’s shoulder blade.
“Come again!” Lu Ziming did not give Yan Hangguang a chance to breathe.
“Pay attention to the wind direction and speed, and feel the attitude of the arrow flying in the air with your heart…, grasp the timing of the arrow release! Pay attention to the frequency of breathing!”
The zombies are getting closer and closer, Yan Hangguang is almost out of breath, “Let go!”
With a ‘swish”, the second arrow flew out, hitting the zombie’s eyebrows.
“You hit the bullseye within ten meters, you have passed! Continue…” Lu Ziming did not allow Yan Hangguang a chance to think. He was completely in a state of high mental tension, and he mechanically obeyed Lu Ziming’s command. Instinctively complete the shooting arrow after arrow.
“Okay, not bad, come again!”
“……”
“Eight Arrows killed three zombies, and the results were much better than my first time.” Lu Ziming encouraged Yan Hangguang while passing the fire axe to Yan Hangguang and said, “Cut off the head of the zombie and collect the arrows.”
Yan Hangguang’s bow-drawing hand was already trembling tirelessly. He wanted to refuse, but he saw Lu Ziming’s cold eyes. When he was about to reach his mouth, he swallowed it back, resisting the already turbulent stomach, and walked to the zombie step by step. In front of him, he raised the fire axe and chopped it down.
“Just vomit if you want to vomit, you are much better than me. When I killed a zombie for the first time, I vomited for a whole day, and I almost vomited the yellow gall bladder, but what can you do? You don’t kill the zombies, the zombies I’m about to eat you, and only one between you and the zombie can survive, and that person is you.”
