The time at this moment is three o'clock in the afternoon. According to the itinerary, there is still half of the way to go. In addition, in order to avoid the zombies, the car has already taken a long way around. It is estimated that it will be late at night when we arrive at the next human gathering place.
.【】
Fortunately, with the barrier of the two stone mountains, we finally got rid of the group of second-level zombies behind us. But no one dared to take it lightly. Although they knew clearly that those monsters could not chase them, everyone still had lingering fears.
So after a short pause, the car was filled with gas, the direction was clear, Luo Lilong replaced Fatty Li, and everyone was on the road again while eating simple dry food.
Zhong Yuting refused to sit in the cab this time. Looking at her charming figure but covered in blood, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel distressed. She really wanted to hold this lovable sister in her arms and comfort her.
, but Zhong Yuting smiled at herself. Although it was reluctant, Chen Yang's heart slowly calmed down.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." At this time, he stood beside her and lowered his head slightly, "If I had been firmer back then, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."
Zhong Yuting was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled softly, "Idiot, why didn't I do it before? You are such a person who likes to blame yourself."
"That's because I..." Chen Yang almost blurted out, but kept the second half of the sentence in his mouth.
"Because?" Zhong Yuting tilted her head and looked at him. Although her white skin was stained with blood, she could not block her beauty. Sure enough, she was right at first sight. This was the woman she had longed for in her heart.
.
"No, it's nothing." Chen Yang turned his face away with some embarrassment, thinking what he was talking about. If he wanted to express his love, he would have to find a more romantic setting.
"Haha, you are so embarrassed to say this." Zhong Yuting smiled, "Since you are embarrassed to say it, then let me say it instead, because... I am your sister, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Chen Yang nodded awkwardly, but felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"I was really stupid before. I knew clearly that the future was unpredictable and anything could happen, but I still didn't believe what you said, Xiaoyang." Zhong Yuting straightened her hair that was messed up by the wind and looked at it.
He looked at the blood stained on the car and said softly, "Has mankind...really come to an end?"
"No." Chen Yang was silent for a while, then slowly lowered his hand, "Maybe the evolution of human beings has just begun."
Zhong Yuting didn't seem to understand. She looked at him strangely for a while and then heard the young man say, "If you regret it, I can send you back to your original world."
The woman suddenly curled up her lips, "No, I like this world. Although it is a bit cruel, everything is on the surface, and the bare ground can be obtained. It is not as hypocritical and dirty as our world."
"Haha, it's great if my sister thinks so." Even though he said this, Chen Yang was also asking himself in his mind, but couldn't get an answer for a while.
Evolution! The word suddenly flashed into his mind at this moment. He, who usually doesn't like to use his brain, began to think about some profound questions. If a living human being is infected with a virus and turns into a zombie, is it degeneration or is it a zombie?
What about evolution? Although they have lost their minds, the powerful physical energy and exhaustive vitality that viruses give them are far superior to humans. From this perspective, it is not wrong to compare this to a kind of evolution.
As for myself, it was the feeling that appeared in my body not long ago. Although I don't know how to explain it, time did indeed slow down for me at a certain moment, and my body was as heavy as lead.
Chen Yang is a very clear-headed person, even in that situation. He was sure that it was not a hallucination or an illusion, but that it really happened to him. He was able to kill three zombies in a few seconds.
That's the evidence.
That sentence in my mind, what does turning on the hidden gene mean? Does the berserker gene also hide this incredible thing in my body?
At this moment, a hand suddenly patted Chen Yang's shoulder, interrupting his thoughts. When he turned around, it was Luo Lilong.
"Brother Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you, but there are some things that we must sit down together to discuss." This man's face was always so serious, and it seemed that he had never smiled before.
"Based on the distance between our current location and our destination, we still have about ten hours to go. The current situation is that the number of zombies in this area is far more than we expected. If
If we continue to move forward, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not encounter a huge group of zombies like last time. With our current physical strength, it is completely impossible to withstand such an attack again, and with the same luck as just now, we will never
It's the second time. Once we encounter it again, all that awaits us is death." Luo Lilong briefly analyzed the overall situation, and then everyone turned their attention to Chen Yang.
"So, we all need you to make a decision, whether to turn around and go back, or continue moving forward. If we go back, at least we know the location of the zombie group and can completely avoid them."
At this time, everyone is in the same boat, and it is no longer a question of who can leave if they want. Whether to advance or retreat, a unified opinion must be reached.
Chen Yang glanced at each person and found that each person's eyes flashed with different expressions. After all, the next decision affected his life and death to a certain extent. After experiencing such hellish fear, the hearts of those who survived were no longer as good as
He was so determined when he set off.
He withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "I don't know if you have heard of a story. In the tropical jungles of South America, there is a kind of colorful butterflies. It is precisely because of their bright colors that they often attract many birds.
Pecking and using them as food. In such a process, in order to survive, some butterflies gradually mutate their genes, lose their original eye-catching colors, and become withered and yellow like fallen leaves, making them fall under the 5
When on the tree trunk, it can integrate itself with the tree, thus protecting itself from the attention of natural enemies. Over time, after a long period of time, those bright butterflies have slowly become extinct from the earth. And the remaining
Those that survived were those butterflies that turned themselves yellow in order to survive. They changed themselves and evolved into a new species group, which was recognized by the Creator."
He changed the subject and said, "If we turn around and go back now, we have a high chance of surviving. Then by selling food and hunting zombies, we may be able to spend every day peacefully, but what about the future? Everyone can
Can we live such a peaceful life until death? Who can guarantee that the status quo will not change in any way? How can we resist all that? Can we do it with our current strength?"
This series of rhetorical questions immediately made many people lower their heads. After reflection, everyone felt that what Chen Yang said was indeed very reasonable. This time he was oppressed by the Three Standards Association, which was an obvious precursor. What was even more pointed was that
, who can guarantee that a zombie wave like the one just now will not attack the camp where they live one day.
"So, only the strong have the right to survive! This is an eternal law since the birth of mankind!" Chen Yang stood up, "What we are doing now is just to keep ourselves alive!"
