Chapter 17

The last time the purple mist appeared was in the mountains, there were two powerful fighters, Xueling and Hitsugaya, fighting against the unknown creatures from the mist. This time, only Xueling himself was the combatant, and I was completely behind.I don't know what monsters will come out of the fog. At this time, it is better to find a high ground first, so that it can be condescending to block the monsters in the fog.

The supermarket should be the tallest of the uncollapsed buildings on the outskirts of the city. In theory, it is the most ideal blocking battle position, but it is not at all when you think about it carefully.We can go to the platform on the sixth floor of the supermarket to fight a blocking battle. Of course, there is a premise that we must have strong firepower and almost unlimited ammunition. It is best to have a heavy machine gun to ensure that we will not be touched by monsters. These conditions seem to us None can satisfy.Taking a step back, even if those conditions are met, I would not dare to go up to the top floor. According to the experience of American blockbusters, whoever goes up to the top floor will die. No matter if the opponent is a zombie or something else, the top floor can block the enemy more effectively at the beginning. When the firepower was slightly weakened and the enemy climbed up to the top floor, the soldiers guarding the position had only two choices: fighting with bayonets or jumping off the building.

Fighting with bayonets is the most ideal state. The enemies of Ruin Ji are not like the same kind on the battlefield. They don't have any rules, as long as they can climb up and eat us.

There is a four-story building not far away, and there are several four-story buildings near it that seem to be able to retreat when they are unable to defend.If you carefully evaluate these houses that are too close together, they are not qualified. They block the sun's rays and cause a great negative impact on lighting. Now it seems that the illegal buildings may not have a negative impact, at least in This is a favorable factor in fighting monsters in the era of destruction.After we went back to the first floor of the supermarket to get the weapons, the purple mist had spread to less than 100 meters away from us. Xue Ling dragged me up to the top floor of the four-story building, and silently drew out the two knives.

Theoretically, I can fight calmly when I go out with a pistol and crossbow—in fact, I can be considered to be fighting calmly now.I'm not very good, and I might not be able to win even against a zombie, but as long as I'm with Xue Ling, I'm fearless.I am not afraid of these things, not because of my own strength, but simply because Xue Ling is by my side.

Those were two Nepali Army knives. I remember that they were exquisite products that she spent a lot of money on when she was a sophomore in high school. I didn't expect that they would be really useful one day.Since the pure body can be used as a weapon to break the zombie's neck or cut off the zombie's head, it is not difficult to kill monsters with a ne.pa.er.jun.knife.The purple mist has enveloped the entire outer city. Those guys with the fangs of a saber-toothed tiger and other indicators that look like gorillas ran out of the depths of the fog. These scary-looking animals don't seem to have a high IQ. Climbing, no, it's not that they can't climb, it's their weight that limits their climbing.A saber-toothed gorilla tried to climb upstairs, but unfortunately he fell down and hit a poor fellow after climbing less than two meters. So the two saber-toothed gorillas started fighting. It was a kind of monster version of Hitsugaya And Lu Qingcheng's sense of sight.

The saber-toothed gorillas that look the scariest actually pose little threat to us, the ones that really stress me out are the plants - thorny vines that stretch out from the depths of the fog, and if we get entangled we lose our ability to continue The ability to fight will be eaten by those smaller saber-toothed monkeys until there is not even a little bit of meat left.I don't like monkeys at all, and the Destruction Period made my impression of this species fall to the bottom. I only hope that they will suddenly disappear from the earth.

"I didn't expect Xiaoyu to be able to help me in battle."

Xue Ling chopped off the head of a saber-toothed monkey with a knife, picked up a sharp stone from the roof platform that was probably broken when a high-rise building collapsed, and threw it at another monkey, successfully slashing its throat.I kept aiming at the monkeys that were about to climb up with my crossbow, and shot them one by one.At this time, it is meaningless to talk about protection. Even if I usually only serve as a mascot, I have to participate in the battle. The current situation is as strong as Xueling, and it is impossible to control it independently.

"Sister, you said you would protect me, but I always remember it. So now, please protect me. When ammunition and ammunition are scarce, my hand and crossbow can attack from a distance, and the monkey that climbed up will be handed over to you There are about ten monkeys here, and I have shot six of them. Hey, it is very unpleasant to pull out the arrows from the dead animals and use them again. I finally understand. During the anti-Japanese war, the army picked up the used bullets and filled them into gunpowder. How did you feel when you used them for the second time? I used eight arrows repeatedly, and a few of them hit the target and were taken down by monkeys. It can no longer be used, really..."

"Only when Xiaoyu is in a very good mood or in a very bad mood does she omit the previous name and call her sister directly. Now she is in a very bad mood. Don't be afraid, we should be able to hold on. Even if we can't, we can use this platform Jump to the opposite platform. This platform is about two meters away from the balcony extending from the roof of the opposite building, and you can easily pass it."

"That's you, a monster with a standing long jump of [-] meters. I don't even need to jump to [-] meters with the run-up." I shot the last arrow in my hand, and the saber-toothed monkey was pierced through the chest by the arrow and carried the arrow Falling down together, the monkeys have all been wiped out, and I have no arrows to pick up and use again. If they climb up again, I'm afraid I have to use the most primitive method to smash their heads with my hands and crossbows.

"The monkeys are basically extinct, and the gorillas don't have the ability to climb up the floors. We are safe for the time being. Xiao Yu, have you thought about what kind of attitude you will use when death comes?" Xue Ling retreated from the edge of the roof , Shake off the blood on Nepal. "I have been thinking about what kind of attitude we should use to face the doomed death if an irresistible disaster comes. Just like in that movie, the asteroid will hit the earth in seven days, and such a possibility cannot be ruled out. You can't immigrate to outer space even if you are in a desperate situation, you can only wait quietly on the ground for the arrival of the god of death, what kind of mood should you spend this week?"

I looked at the gorillas surrounding the building who wanted to jump up and eat us but couldn't climb the wall. I always felt that it was hopeless now.There will be more monsters beyond our imagination in the dense fog. I can already see black vines stretching everywhere, and countless vines slowly spread towards us along the wall.If you are caught by vines, you will lose your ability to move, and then there will be another group of monkeys and we will die without a place to bury us.

"I haven't thought about this problem. Alien invasions rely on the invincible US military to resist. If the US military loses, we can commit suicide. If an irresistible disaster such as an asteroid strikes, I will probably eat it before the impact." One hundred sleeping pills. A peaceful and painless death is the way I yearn for. How about you, sister, since you ask me such a question, it means you already have your own answer, doesn’t it?”

The clouds in the sky are getting lower and lower, and the flashing electric light can be seen in the purple mist.

Lightning cut through the fog, and through that momentary light, I saw the illusory smile on Xue Ling's face.

"I will spend the last time with the one I love, go to the place I want to go together in the few days before the impact, leave a proof of our love wherever I want, and spend the last day with Together, he found a place where he would not be disturbed, made love crazily, and met the irresistible destruction together in the blending of soul and body."

"It's really like my sister's style. It's a pity that there are no such people here. I'm afraid your wish will come true, sister. Look at these vines, maybe they can be used as a man." I saw that I had already climbed to the third floor. The vine said softly.At this time, I had calmed down, walked to the edge of the floor in small steps, and jumped off when the vines climbed up.There is little hope of surviving jumping from the fourth floor, which is exactly what I asked for-it is better to jump to death than to be eaten alive by monsters.

"No. This is not a desperate situation."

"why?"

In the next second, the torrential rain poured down.

The gorillas around downstairs let out miserable screams. Their huge bodies melted in the rain at a speed visible to the naked eye. This scene was very similar to the melting process of leeches or slugs in the salt pile.Yellow slime flowed continuously from these monsters, and their volume became smaller and smaller until they completely turned into yellow waxy liquid and were washed away by the heavy rain.Not only the monsters, but the vines extending everywhere also turned into black liquid in the heavy rain and disappeared without a trace.

"Purple fog only appears in dry areas. Purple fog has appeared many times in cities that haven't rained for two months. Purple fog has also occurred in mountainous areas that have been dry for a month, but it has never happened in water areas. I found it two days ago A newspaper last month said that purple fog only appears in arid areas. Some people speculate that purple fog brings drought. Why can't we reverse the reason that purple fog has an opportunity because of the long-term drought? This hypothesis Now it seems that it is completely established. Rain can kill the creatures in the fog and make the fog dissipate, while the water area does not have the conditions for the formation of purple fog. Light rain, this is our victory, and it can also be said that it is human beings' victory over unknown existence. victory."

Shivering with the cold, I could only nod my head to express my agreement with her. Seeing that my victory speech would end immediately or take a while, Xue Ling dragged me downstairs and quickly returned to the supermarket.According to our agreement, the two people who went to the lake area on the day of heavy rain may not come back. This night seems to be spent by the two of us.After a fierce battle and rainstorm, my body may not be able to hold on.

"There is no way to boil hot water in this weather. Fortunately, I left some water in the morning. Xiaoyu's body can't be exposed to the rain, so drink the medicine and sleep well."

"What kind of medicine is this?"

"The quasi-traditional Chinese medicine that is meant to drink has a slower effect but lasts longer than traditional western medicine. Now that Xiaoyu has not caught a cold, it is appropriate to drink this. After drinking the medicine, go to sleep. Doctors have almost all died out, and any kind of disease that seems insignificant in normal times can easily kill people, not to mention Xiao Yu's weak body that was considered unsupportable in the previous cities."
