Longmen Memoirs

Wolf asked deliberately.

After walking through the area where infected people gathered, they passed through the crowd and came to a short ladder leading underground at the back.

"For today's incident, most of the infected people in this city are here."

"You want this city."

"We don't have that ability. We just want everyone to live a better life."

"not easy."

"But you have to try." Jim said. He stopped in front of a door and knocked on the door. The door was opened from the inside, and the wolf looked over. There were rows of simple and simple things in the crowded and small room. There was a steel-frame hospital bed with an injured infected person lying on the bed. The person who opened the door was a young girl with long light yellow hair. She was not very beautiful, but she looked very quiet, maybe because of malnutrition. The face is slightly yellowish.

"Uncle Jim, why are you back?" The girl was a little surprised. "Who is this?"

She noticed the wolf standing behind Jim. The conspicuous knife mark on her left eye and the long white messy hair were too conspicuous.

"A friend, Mia, is Dr. Dorian in there?"

"You are injured." The girl asked hurriedly.

"No, I'm fine. It's just that a few brothers outside are injured. They will come over soon."

"Ah, you come in first, and I'll tell the doctor."

"By the way, the patient we sent here before, isn't she awake yet?"

"You mean that girl, no, she is still unconscious." Mia shook her head.

"Okay, you go tell the doctor first, and we'll go take a look."

Mia asked after hesitating.

"Uncle Jim, um...brother Cao hasn't come back yet?"

"Soon, Boss Cao still has something to deal with. He will be back soon. You should tell the doctor first."

"I see."

They watched the girl leave, Jim【%

Chapter 20 Everything is in Lapland’s calculation

Walking through the narrow and crowded passage of the simple ward, there was a faint smell of blood mixed with the smell of disinfectant. The wolf sniffed the tip of his nose, and his eyes were clear and ferocious symptoms of Originium infection. Dark stones adhered to the surface of the human body, like It is a vicious abscess that gradually eats away at the dwindling number of lives.

Turning around the ward, Jim stopped in front of a room.

"The person is inside." He said, reaching out and pushing open the door.

The room was very dark. There was a lighted oil lamp at the bedside, a bandage stained with blood, and a rusty wooden bed. The quilt was lifted, and there was no one on the bed.

"Where are the people?" asked the wolf.

Jim froze.

"She is here. I promise, we watched her being sent here." Jim said hurriedly: "I'll ask Mia."

The wolf stretched out his hand to block Jim's path.

Her eyes were unkind, and there was a slight smile on her lips, but the smile made Jim feel no warmth.

"I don't need to lie to you. I know what you are capable of. It won't do us any good to start a fight here." Jim said.

"I know." The wolf put down his hand and looked at her: "But who knows whether you are deliberately leading me here, you are delaying time, infected person."

"Then you can kill me now."

"You think I won't?"

"All I ask is that you let go of those people outside. They know nothing and they are innocent."

"No, that's not right. Ever since you decided to attack the families in the city, no one has been innocent."

"Should we just wait to die? Wait for those people in the city to trap us alive!"

"..."

The wolf studied Jim's face.

A few seconds later, the wolf walked to the bed. She reached out and touched the bed. There was still warmth in the quilt. She took her hand back and put it to the tip of her nose to smell it.

"Familiar smell, ha, you found me, right?" The wolf smiled and whispered to himself. "You knew I was coming."

But where can you run away, not daring to face me.

...Texas.

Without any pause, the wolf pushed aside Jim, who was standing motionless at the door, and walked outside.

Jim watched her leave, hesitating but not daring to ask anything.

22 Blinsk Street, Grava Town East.

300 meters away from the center of the explosion

The floor of the house was gently pushed open, and a figure quietly poked his head out. After looking around in the dark room, the light of the flashlight turned on.

It lit up this small room.

The house is simple but clean, maybe because people come here occasionally.

Cao Zhi put the flashlight on the ground, crawled out of the dark passage, turned around and stretched out his hand below. Chen Mo grabbed his hand. After coming out, Cao Zhi carefully put the dark board back to its original place.

"What is this place?" Chen Mo asked.

"There is a grocery store 300 meters east from us just now. The former grocery store is now one of our strongholds." Cao Zhi said, looking at the ground with some regret and secretly saying: "It's a pity that this passage will not be used in the future. ”

"You are digging this road just so that you won't need it in the future." Chen Mo said.

"The truth is this truth."

"Do you have many tunnels like this?"

"Many, infected people have their own way of life in the city, and we try to avoid appearing on the streets during the day."

"Including leading to the outside of the city."

"Many of us had our own lives before getting sick." Cao Zhi said, "Originite disease has changed everything. Our lives, jobs, families, and so much more."

“…Then you gather the group together.”

"I helped them, and I also helped myself find a way to survive." Cao Zhi did not deny it.

“The road to survival may also be the road to death.”

Chen Mo put his bag behind him again. He walked to the window and looked out. The streets were dark and peaceful late at night.

The flames of the explosion could not be seen from here. When they were in the tunnel, they heard a series of explosions. Even if all the members of the two families did not die in the trap, they would like to regain control of the city in the future. It’s also difficult.

From a certain perspective, Cao Zhi and his infected people made the right bet, sacrificing dozens or hundreds of lives to give the infected people a possible way to survive.

"If we don't do this, we will be dead." Cao Zhi replied: "At least looking at it now, we made the right bet."

"Half of it is right." Chen Mo said, "The other half has to wait until you are able to control this town. Of course, that has nothing to do with me. I hope that by this time tomorrow, I will have arrived in Letania."

"I hope so too." Cao Zhi nodded.

"What are your plans next? The power of the two local families in this city has been greatly damaged. Such a big thing will definitely attract outside attention. I have to remind you that the situation may not be as simple as you think." Chen Mo said: "One When a new enemy falls, maybe another new enemy will reappear."

"It doesn't matter, we already have an opportunity." Cao Zhi replied: "I will seize this opportunity."

"I hope... but our cooperation ends here." Chen Mo reminded.

"We will send you and that Luper away, just as we agreed before, and provide you with some camping supplies, but we can't give you an exact car back to you for the time being."

"As long as it works, I'm glad you didn't regret it."

"To be honest, you are actually not a good partner. Brother Chen, you are too cautious."

“It’s not a bad thing to be cautious.”

"Just to you."

"otherwise."

Chen Mo didn't say anything.

He watched Cao Zhi carefully open the door, and they left the grocery store together, heading towards the gathering place for the infected that Cao Zhi had originally planned.

A lot of things happened that night, starting from meeting the white wolf, then being chased on the road, meeting these infected people hiding in the city, and dubiously participating in their plan.

The small fights in this remote town made Chen Mo feel a little tired for some reason, maybe because he now hates using his brain.

This journey has not been too smooth.

Texas paused.

Stopping at a place she didn't know was the city, she heard an explosion in the distance. The wounds, pain and physical weakness made it impossible for her to continue walking.

She slowly sat on the ground deep in the alley, leaning against the wall. The sky above the alley was narrow and elongated, and the sky was dim. When she looked over, there was a warm light on the windows on one wall.

That was the only light in the alley.

Texas was reminded of some past memories.

Therefore, family members have their own unique smell that is familiar to family members. In the impression of Texas, the air there is always filled with the smell of incense mixed with cigarettes, which is groggy and disturbing. , so that she could no longer find a scent that matched it.

The room was always dark, and even if there was sunlight peeking in from the window, it would be immediately obscured by the darkness in the room. In contrast, all the furniture and wallpaper were depressingly dark, and seemed to be devoid of any life.

Everyone's expression was serious and solemn, with no smile in sight, which made the living room look crowded and narrow. In the memory of Texas, the Luper men in the family gathered together, filled with smoke. The heavy curtains in the living room were always drawn tightly, and her nominal relative, her father, was also among them.

The middle-aged Luper, who was not yet 50 years old, had wrinkles that deepened year by year on his face, but he looked like he was over fifty years old. What remained unchanged was the heaviness on his face, the solemnity that could not be relaxed no matter what. .

The summer night wasn't exactly cold, but beads of sweat still appeared on Texas' forehead.

Texas took a breath, soothing the pain from the wound.

The girl's amber eyes gradually regained consciousness.

She heard footsteps at the entrance of the alley, and Texas stood up weakly holding on to the wall.

The footsteps were very light, neither urgent nor slow, but gradually became clearer, indicating that someone was approaching in his direction.

Texas knew who was coming.

She squinted and looked over.

There were specks of mud on her boots, neither fast nor slow. There was a long scratch on her legs, and the black and dazzling Originium was attached to her fair skin, but it did not affect her pace at all.

She stepped onto the uneven ground of the alley.From the shadow of the light, Texas appeared.

"You don't look surprised at all."

With her silver-gray tail hanging behind her, Lapland looked at Texas across the way, her eyes falling on the injury on her waist. She made no movements, no hands, not even a smile.

There was a rare calmness on that face.

It was as calm as if he had suddenly changed into a different person.

"I know it is you."

Texas said that since the snake came back, she could smell the residual smell on the snake, which was left intentionally by the wolf. Texas knew in her heart that she would not make such a mistake easily, so the signal was Leave it to her.

But Texas didn't tell anyone, she didn't mention it.

"We still have such a tacit understanding." Lapland said: "You left in a hurry, alone, and you smelled my scent, right? Why did you leave from that group of infected people? You were afraid that I would do something to them. Come on, when did you become concerned about others? This is not like you...Texas."

"Our business has nothing to do with them."

"But that's not what they thought." Lapland said, as if he thought of something interesting, and smiled: "You know, I gave them a choice, they decided to hand you over to me, you don't care about them , they never thought of caring about you, they want to hand you over and use your life in exchange for their way of survival. Now, do you still feel that it has nothing to do with them? "

"...Even I would do this."

Texas doesn't blame the group of infected people for their choice, because even she would do it. She is very aware of Lapland's methods and style. Maybe she did it on purpose, maybe she did it While waiting to find her, he told her the reason in person in front of the infected people and her.

She always likes to play with her enemies.

"Hahaha, that's the answer, that's it." Lapland said with a smile: "Of course you will do that, you are Texas, the Texas I know, but where do you want to escape to?" ?”

"I never thought of running away."

"Then stay, the same as before, the same as we have been."

"..."

Texas didn't answer, she just looked at Lapland, gazing at each other.
