Chapter 13 - On the road alone

"Gu Ning. What are you doing?" As soon as Fangfa returned to the car, he saw Gu Ning was dumping all the supplies inside the backpack on the seat, piling them into a small mountain, the backpack did not look particularly large, but the capacity was amazing.

She picked out some food, left the medicine Zhuang Chen needed, and filled it with the rest, then said to Fangfa and Zhuang Chen, "I'm going back the way I came, so I'll leave these supplies to you."

"What do you mean? You're going to go alone?" Fangfa asked in surprise.

Zhuang Chen clutched his chest and leaned against the car without speaking.

"Yes." Gu Ning nodded his head.

Fangfa said, "I promised to find your parents with you."

"I don't know how long I'll be looking for, maybe a month, two months? I'll keep looking until I find them. If you were alone now, I would be happy for you to stay with me, but you still have your parents waiting for you at home." Gu Ning said turning to Zhuang Chen and said, "The Fangfa is trustworthy, which means he will never stab you in the back. You have a long way to go to the capital, a trustworthy companion is important."

Zhuang Chen looked at Fangfa and nodded, then said, "I promised you before to look for three days, and today is still only the first day. I will wait for you in Nanning's Times City for two days, and after two days when you don't come, we won't wait any longer."

Gu Ning smiled and said, "Thank you."

"As you said, a trustworthy companion is important. And more than this cop, I think you deserve my trust." Zhuang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said.

Fangfa was a little speechless on the side.

Gu Ning said sincerely, "I hope there is still a chance to travel together."

Zhuang Chen nodded, then said, "Have a good trip." Although she had spent less than a day with Gu Ning, had not said more than a hundred words, did not know where she came from, but she unexpectedly subconsciously felt that Gu Ning was a person who could be trusted.

"Be careful all the way, be safe." Fangfa said. Although he also wanted to follow Gu Ning, but Gu Ning is right, he still has parents waiting for him at home.

Gu Ning put on her backpack and carried her knife, waved her hand to them, and then walked in the direction she came, her pace was fast, and she soon disappeared into the dreary night.

Zhuang Chen and Fangfa watched Gu Ning walk into the darkness, no longer see her figure, before returning to the car, looking at the pile of a considerable amount of supplies, relatively speechless.

Gu Ning's steps are very fast, in the car bumpy day, but she did not feel tired at all, is hungry, although she ate a large bowl of noodles less than half an hour ago, she tore open a bread bag, eating while walking, has been eating four, only to feel a little full.

But Gu Ning vaguely felt a craving for meat food, she could not help but be a little worried, if this is the aftermath of a zombie bite, then will this development one day she will also become like a zombie pouncing on living things?

Gu Ning felt some shivers just thinking about it.

But there is no solution, Gu Ning can do nothing but to temporarily suppress this terrible idea first, consider the reality of the problem.

They said that Gu dad Gu mom went to her, then it must have returned by the original route, plus Gu dad's foot injury, will also delay a lot of time, this journey is not safe, Gu Ning can not imagine at all, mom with an injured dad how to go, they just go with the wish to die with her, right ... Gu Ning did not dare to think further, took a deep breath, and once again accelerated his pace.

At 6:30 in the morning, the sky only appeared a ray of light, even if it is the end of the world, the sun still does not change as usual from the east to rise.

At this time, if it were peaceful times, most of the people in the world would still be asleep.

But this is the end of the world, one after another shriek, breaking the quiet peace of the early morning.

"Run, run, run! They're catching up!" With one shout after another, a large group of people with no organization to speak of in the cold wind of the early morning, can see hundreds of zombies following them, and let people feel even more horrible is that these hundreds of zombies seem to have so ten or so speedy, actually not step by step, but running! Running zombies and human running speed to be a little slower, but the terrible thing is that they never tire, there is no more horrible thing than this!

The hundreds of people running in a hurry, their numbers are several times more than the zombies, but no one stopped to try to fight the zombies, all of them are desperately running forward, they have only one belief in their hearts, run! Run! Run! Run! Run! As long as they run to a safe place they will be safe! From time to time, people who were left behind in the line were grabbed and pounced on by walkers, several of which would stop to feed together, letting out a more mournful scream than a scream! The screams traveled far along the night wind, giving people the creeps!

"Ah !!!! Cheng Ming! Save me!" I heard a sharp female voice behind the team, Cheng Ming heard his name, subconsciously is to look back, only to see Huang Mengyao was a short zombie grabbed her very soft and beautiful long hair, a moment to break free, can only desperately struggle to prevent the zombie bite her. People kept running past her, but no one reached out to help.

Cheng Ming only hesitated for a moment, gritting his teeth to turn around and go over to save people, just ran not two steps and was fiercely dragged by the person running beside him, Jia Daoist yelled in a low voice: "You do not want to live, you are now going over is to die with her!"

"Cheng Ming !!!! Help!!!" Huang Mengyao is still screaming, but attracted more zombies towards her, she looked this way, looking at Cheng Ming was pulled by Jia Daoist, probably think Cheng Ming will not go to save her, with tears in the eyes in addition to the deep fear and bone-deep despair.

And at this time, Cheng Ming then past, but also is already helpless.

Just when Huang Mengyao's hands were completely powerless and the mouth of the zombie was close to her flesh, suddenly! The zombie that had opened its mouth for a full meal let out a mournful hiss! Then the whole body was carried away by a huge force from the stick that seemed to have fallen from the sky and penetrated its chest!

Huang Mengyao was still in a trance not knowing what was happening when she was pulled up from the ground by a strong hand, and a cold voice rang out in her ears, "Kill them if you don't want to die."

She subconsciously grabbed the knife that was shoved into her hand and turned her head, only to see a blonde girl with a slim figure carrying a knife at sunrise casually cut off the neck of the corpse that had a stick through its chest, but was still trying to get up from the ground, and then rushed towards the several corpses that were surrounding her...

I don't know why, looking at that slender and weakened figure rushing towards those terrible zombies, a sudden surge of inexplicable courage in her heart, this courage prompted her to lift the knife in her hand, closed her eyes and shouted to raise the knife in her hand high towards the head of the nearest zombie!

Poof - a sound.

The mucus that emitted a foul smell spurted out, Huang Mengyao trembled and opened her eyes, she saw that the entire face of the zombie in front of her began to decay half of the head was cut off, the pair of gray and blue eyes clearly did not have a trace of the light of the living, but at this time she seemed to see the shock in those eyes, only to hear a bang, the zombie fell backwards, fell heavily on the ground, no longer moving.

Cheng Ming's footsteps stopped at a place two meters away from Huang Mengyao, watching in amazement as the zombie whose head was split in half fell to the ground with a thud.

Huang Mengyao held the knife and looked at the zombie she had killed on the ground, standing stiff and motionless, her eyes completely blank and empty, as if she hadn't realized what she had done.

Until a vicious voice rang out around her: "Don't run! Do you want to die?"

Only then did she suddenly come to her senses and subconsciously gripped the knife in her hand and followed the girl with blonde hair in front of her.

"Quick, quick, quick! Run this way!" Only to see a hundred meters in front of Jia Daoist is waving at them dead.

The few who were left alone here all ran over there.

There was a bungalow, a path that could only be walked by three people at the same time, and an iron gate blocking the way.

"Gu Ning?" Jia Daoist saw Gu Ning, even his jaw dropped: "Where did you get out from again?!"

When the last person also rushed in, Daoist Master Jia hurriedly lowered the latch, and in less than three seconds a zombie that could run rushed over and hit the iron bar gate with great force.

Jia Daochang was so frightened that he took a few steps backwards and almost didn't fall on the ground, he said to several people: "Run, run, run!"

Gu Ning suddenly turned around and turned back, and in the shocked eyes of several people, the knife in his hand stabbed viciously towards the face of the zombie that kept hitting the iron gate! The head of the corpse was stabbed directly through, without blinking an eye. A few of the zombies that crashed through in quick succession were solved by her in the same way.

The eyes of those people turned from astonishment to shock, Cheng Ming the most.

Gu Ning pulled the knife out of the zombie's head, the zombie's corpse fell on its back, turned around without looking at it and left.

"Kill one more zombie now, one more point of safety later." Gu Ning succinctly dropped that sentence, and then led the way along the pathway forward.

Several people looked at each other, their hearts were a bit strange, then all followed.

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing.

In contrast, Cheng Ming is the most shocked one, in his impression, Gu Ning has always been a gentle girl, he still remembers the first time he saw her at the train station when she smiled. Cheng Ming is really hard to put the impression of Gu Ning in his mind with the front even the back with an inexplicable sharpness of Gu Ning to link together.

Huang Mengyao even looked at Gu Ning's back with mixed feelings.

The other few are the ones who were with Cheng Ming and the others, all silently followed Gu Ning.

Compared to their complex psychological activities, Gu Ning's heart is a bit chagrined at this time.

She rushed all night, along the way no trace of her parents, to almost dawn accidentally hit a group of zombies, was chased by dozens of zombies all the way, it was easy to rely on their speed advantage to shake off, and then hit this group.

She didn't even see Huang Mengyao's face when she saved her.

The rescue was not out of the spirit of helping people. Rather, she thinks that in a world like this, saving one more person and killing one more zombie will mean one more point of safety in the future.

In the premise of ensuring their own safety, Gu Ning is not "stingy".

But after experiencing that betrayal, Gu Ning is no longer so full of goodwill, she collected herself that looks very close to the look of goodwill, become indifferent and cold to reject people from a thousand miles away.

All she can think of is the hope that maybe one day the zombies will all be killed and the world will go back to the way it was.

This is not another aspect of psychological comfort, but only with such expectations, more courage to live in this world.

This narrow pathway past a courtyard, a three-story house, the courtyard and two rows of cement cast flower beds, which planted some flowers, but also planted two laurel trees, this is the season of the laurel trees in bloom, full of small golden flowers, the fragrance of the two trees is particularly strong, resulting in the entire courtyard is filled with the rich scent of laurel, so much so that the smell of rotting corpses to cover up.
