Chapter 11

    With a sound of "Boom!", a wooden stick fell on the zombie's legs, and it lost its balance and fell back suddenly. Hao Jian grabbed the crowbar and adjusted the sharp end to hit it.

    Hao Jian was exhausted after killing two zombies at once. She supported the gas dispenser and looked at Lian Runing who was also panting. If Lian Runing hadn't run down from the car and found a wooden stick to help, she might have been infected.

    Thinking of this, she lifted up her trousers and looked around, only to find that there were no scars on the surface, and then let out a heavy breath.

    "Killing zombies, experience +10, points +20."

    Lian Runing looked around nervously, only to find that there were no other zombies before asking, "You, are you okay?"

    "It's okay." Hao Jian waved his hand .

    "Didn't you say that the infection takes 12 to 48 hours? Why did this person get infected after being bitten?" Lian Runing pointed at the zombie who could no longer see its face.

    Hao Jian shook his head: "Don't talk about that, hurry up and refuel, let's go."

    Lian Runing looked at the small convenience store at the gas station, and said, "Come on, I'll go in and get something to eat."

    They It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when they came out of the county, and now the pointer of the time is pointing to more than three o'clock. They only ate a piece of bread and they still have to think about the food for the night and the next day. If they have a chance, they should search it. searched.

    "Wait a minute." Hao Jian grabbed the walkie-talkie from the car and threw it to her, "Bring it on."

    Although you don't usually use the walkie-talkie and make calls at gas stations, it's an emergency right now, so don't worry too much about it. . Lian Runing put on the walkie-talkie and walked over the car blocked opposite to the convenience store. Watching her figure enter the convenience store, Hao Jian also took out the fuel gun and began to refuel the car.

    The situation in the convenience store is not much better. Many shelves are empty, and the floor is covered with broken food. She found a box of beverages under a collapsed shelf, and found several bags of biscuits, instant noodles, and the car air pump like sweeping garbage.

    "Someone is here." Hao Jian's voice came from the intercom.

    Lian Runing's heart tightened, and she quietly walked to the door with the things she had collected, and saw a car slowly parked outside the gas station. In the current situation, she has already begun to question human nature, and there is no guarantee that the person will not attack them after seeing the things in her hands.

    "Should I just go out?" she asked.

    "See if there is a back door."

    Lian Runing only found an office and a storage room just now, and did not notice the back door. She went into the storage room and took a look, and found another door. When she opened it, she saw some sundries piled up on a small flat ground, and behind the fence was a lush green field.

    "I went around to the back."

    "I'll pick you up." After Hao Jian finished speaking, he started the car and drove to the side of the convenience store, using the convenience store to block his sight.

    Lian Runing put the things in the back seat, and then sat down in the passenger seat. When they started the car, the car that had been watching secretly also drove in. Without stopping, Hao Jian drove out of the gas station and drove southwest along the provincial road.

    Hao Jian glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "I hope you don't want to go to the bathroom for the time being, because we're going directly to Nanfang City.

    " Instead, I vaguely wanted to go to the bathroom. In order to distract her attention, she hurriedly asked: "What happened to that zombie, do you have no idea?"

    Seeing that Lian Runing regarded herself as an omniscient sage, Hao Jian said helplessly: "I really have no idea, But let me make an assumption, I don’t know if you have observed that man’s neck just now.”

    Lian Runing thought about it for a while: “His neck is missing a large piece of meat, but...”

    “Yes, the first time I Seeing that the zombie killed a person at Hao Fang's house, but his mother who was killed by him did not become a zombie, why?" Hao Jian asked, "If it is calculated based on the time limit for the zombie virus to incubate in the human body, then this person It won't turn into a zombie so quickly, why are there two different endings in the same situation?"

    Lian Runing also thought about it, and soon she discovered a characteristic: "But we need to confirm one thing first, the zombies we encountered, and the people attacked by zombies, where are their injuries?"     Hao Jianshun Looking at her thinking direction, she thought calmly for a while, and said, "Except for Hao Fang's mother and the people at the gas station, without exception, the parts attacked by zombies are all from the neck down.     " The outbreak of the zombie virus?"     Hao Jian shook his head: "I don't know, but my initial guess is that the transmission of the zombie virus is through blood, except that there is a different incubation time according to each person's constitution. In addition, is it related to the vital characteristics of people?"     "What do you mean?"     "I remember that Hao Fang bit his mother until he died, and his neck was completely broken. Even if the zombie virus is infected, it can control it. It's the brain, without a bracket, the brain can't control the body, right? And the man at the gas station, when we passed by, it wasn't confirmed that he had lost his vital signs, right?"     Lian Runingjing also remembered what she said: "After the zombie attacked the man, it didn't stick to it. Instead, it attacked other living people. Because there is something more attractive to it than infected prey."     "So suppose the man is attacked by a zombie , and take a breath, at this time his will will be particularly weak, and because the wound is on the neck, the virus spreads faster than when the wound is in other places. The virus competes with people for control of the brain, and the virus is strong and the person is weak A strong person makes the virus weak."     "This is the so-called 'difference in individual constitution'? Does that mean that a person's will can win the virus?"     Hao Jian smiled and shook his head: "This is just my guess, and according to my knowledge You know, there is no one who can resist the virus at present. Even I, who calls myself the protagonist, may not have the aura of the protagonist."     "The protagonist?" Lian Runing smiled, and said, "But I I think you are handsome when you kill zombies, just like the protagonist."

    "Pupu—" Hao Jian's heart beat twice, and he quickly turned his gaze back to the front.

    "If it wasn't for you, I might have been infected."

    "You saved me more than once, and it's never enough." Lian Runing smiled.

    The system analyzed Hao Jian's strangeness, and said right away: "Host, kissing with Qingyuan increases 1 experience and 5 points once; having love with Qingyuan increases 20 experience and 200 points once~"

    Hao Jian almost stepped on the brakes, but luckily The psychological quality is excellent, and the car is still driving steadily. But Lian Runing felt a little vibration, and looked at her quickly: "What's wrong, what I said is wrong?"

    Hao Jian cleared his throat and said seriously: "Sit down, fasten your seat belt, don't block my body Sight."

    Lian Runing had no choice but to sit back, not quite understanding what happened to Hao Jian all of a sudden. Hao Jian saw her staring at him again through the rearview mirror, feeling a little hot on his face, but said without changing his face: "It's hot, I'll turn on the air conditioner."

    "Oh."

    The cold air from the air conditioner slowly blows out, dispelling After seeing the sweltering heat in the car, Lian Runing seemed a little tired, so she leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep slowly.

    Hao Jian turned on the air conditioner to prevent Lian Runing from catching a cold. The system only came out to speak at this time: "The analysis of the host and love is close to the truth. Without any data provided by authoritative organizations, I can discover these clues that ordinary people can't find through observation, and it will not insult my name of number 2018." "

    First, she has a name, don't always call her Qingyuan, those who don't know will think she is your Qingyuan!" Hao Jian secretly rolled his eyes, "Second, you must not forget the clue Did you provide it?"

    After systematically analyzing Hao Jian's words, he searched for adjectives in the thesaurus, and replied: "First, according to the analysis and comparison of the hormonal changes in the host's body, as well as emotions and thoughts, in the information database The corresponding information material record was found, and the noun in the dictionary is interpreted as 'jealous'. Second, the clues provided by the system are disclosed by authoritative organizations. As a fair and honest system, it will not use authority to leak secrets of."

    It was the first time Hao Jian saw a system that was not happy to praise it, "emmmm." It should be said that she also encountered the existence of the system for the first time, and she didn't know if other systems were like this.

    "The system is an independent entity and will not share any connection with other systems. The host can rest assured that your information will not be leaked to other systems." The system replied.

    "You read my thoughts again without authorization, and I don't know who swore that I couldn't analyze my thoughts

    two days ago ." Thinking."

    "That is to say, just like a computer, you are responsible for collecting information and storing it in a certain place. After I start the survival mission, it will be like a computer, and my information will be submitted. It’s similar to the central processing unit and feeds back to your system. When I upgrade, you will also upgrade?” The

    system found that Hao Jian was too scary, and decided to shut up obediently.

Chapter 12

    Lian Runing woke up from the shaking, opened her eyes and looked out the car window, only to see the endless fields. In a daze, she thought she had returned to Hao Jian's village, but the bumpy mountain road made her almost throw up.

    "Where is this?" She looked at Hao Jian.

    "Are you awake? I don't know where this is."

    Lian Runing was shocked: "Then why did you come here?"

    "The main road is completely paralyzed, and the expressway is also finished, so there is a slight detour. But , without navigation, I will be lost." Hao Jian said it as a matter of course, and there was no embarrassment because of it.

    Lian Runing's eyes widened in shock, and it took her a while to say nothing: "So, where are you going now?"

    "When I came in, I saw that it said farmhouse, so come in and have dinner first!"

    Lian Runing pulled Through the window of the car, I saw the sunset glowing red, and the residual heat made the ground blow my face. She has been sleeping for more than two hours. She didn't rest much last night, and she encountered so many zombies during the day, so she slept for so long when she was physically and mentally exhausted.

    On the contrary, Hao Jian didn't seem to have rested all this time. She thought they should find a place to rest after nightfall, so she didn't object.

    The car followed the simple billboard and drove into the forest. On the road, we could see houses in twos and threes, but they were not on the scale of a village. After passing a fish pond, the car was in front of a house made of pure wood. This house looked rather simple, as if it would collapse if the car hit it.

    "Is there anyone else?" Lian Runing looked around cautiously, and she would not get out of the car easily until she confirmed it was safe.

    "Beep beep—" Hao Jian honked the horn.

    Lian Runing thought to herself, isn't she afraid of attracting zombies? But he would not open his mouth to question Hao Jian's actions. After all, the experience of these days together proved that Hao Jian's actions were not yet reckless.

    Someone in the room cautiously stuck out his head. Hao Jian opened the door and got out of the car, asking, "Are you still in business?"

    "You, where did you come from?" The man came out, but he had a hatchet in his hand.

    "Passing through the township road, I saw the signboard and came in. Don't you want to do business?"

    The man thought for a while, then glanced at her and Lian Runing, and said, "Are you here for dinner? Have food."

    Hao Jian After walking over, the man also turned around and put down the hatchet, and looked at her carefully, secretly glad that she was alive. Seeing his movements, Hao Jian asked, "We are not sick at all, we just plan to have a meal and leave, you can rest assured."

    A middle-aged woman came out from inside and asked, "Are you okay?"

    "It's okay , come to eat." The man replied.

    Lian Runing had already got off the car. Seeing the shabby environment here, she asked, "Do you just live here?

    " In such an environment, there are usually many people here." The man said and pointed them to another table.

    There is an empty window behind this table, and you can directly see the fish pond, and there is a wooden bridge on the fish pond, on which you can fish. Lian Runing also likes this kind of leisure time, no wonder there is business in such a remote place.

    "But why don't you eat in hotels or restaurants outside?" the middle-aged woman asked curiously.

    Hao Jian smiled: "Don't you know what the chaos is like outside? Those restaurants are closed." The

    two thought for a while, and became even more confused: "Then how do you know that we are not closed?"

    "Guess Ah, I just came here to try my luck, but I didn’t expect that we would meet.”

    The man laughed and said, “To tell you the truth, I originally planned to close the door and go home to guard, but when I thought about it, There are so many vegetables and fish that have not been processed, and I am reluctant to part with them. No, I plan to come back and fish all the fish back, and pick the vegetables too, so as not to keep them for ruin.”

    "Yes, we heard the sound of the car and were frightened. We hid for a while before daring to come out." The middle-aged woman also added.

    "At this time, guarding the food is the most important thing, isn't it, why are you willing to let us eat?" Lian Runing asked.

    The two were stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "These things can't be kept for a long time, they will either be ruined or broken, and someone needs them, why don't you take them out and eat them?"

    Lian Runing once doubted human nature, But in them, she seemed to see the kind side of human nature again. She turned her head and wanted to share this feeling with Hao Jian, but Hao Jian quickly ordered the dishes and said, "I'm sorry.

    " Ningcai said: "They are really kind, but... are you really here to try your luck?"

    Hao Jian thought for a while, then whispered: "How is that possible."

    Lian Runing looked at her in surprise: "Then— "

    "I just got lost while avoiding the paralyzed section of the road, and then accidentally came to a small town in the neighboring city, and remembered that my friend's hometown is here, and according to him, his home It’s a farmhouse. I took a little detour and found it.”

    Lian Runing also admired: “It’s luck to come here, but isn’t your friend here?”

    “It seems that he is still there I don’t know if Mingzhu City is alive or dead now.”

    “Then, are these his parents?”

    “It should be, I always heard him brag about how good his parents are, and what I saw with my own eyes is indeed true. If there is a chance to meet again If you see him, then agree with him once!"

    "Aren't you going to tell them that you are friends with their children?"

    Hao Jian raised her eyebrows, then smiled again: "I can't do anything, I can't Let their family reunite, why tell them that their child's life or death in Mingzhu City is uncertain now?"

    Lian Runing thought about it, and it was true. Mingzhu City, like Nanfang City, is more chaotic and more susceptible to infection than here. They may not be in danger if they stay here, and they can wait for their children to come back. But once they know the relationship between Hao Jian and their children, they will either go to Mingzhu City to find their children, or they will become more anxious and sad while waiting.

    The food was served soon, and seeing the extra dish, Hao Jian looked at them in confusion.

    "Anyway, there is too much and no one will eat. If you eat more, you won't be charged more." The middle-aged woman said.

    "In the next few days, there may be a lack of food. You should find a way to dry or pickle these vegetables into easy-to-storage foods such as dried radish, and save them." Hao Jian said.

    "This is also a good idea." The middle-aged woman smiled.

    Lian Runing asked tentatively: "Are you the only ones here?"

    "Oh, yes, usually we are the husband and wife, and a relative helps. But she went home after the accident."

    "This place looks a bit remote , do you know that something happened outside?"

    "We heard about it when we went to the market to buy ingredients, but my son contacted me and told me something, so we watched TV and found out that it was really dangerous outside!"

    "Oh, That's really lucky. When we came here, we saw many people were killed because they didn't know the outside world. But, you said your son, then he..."

    "He's not here, he's in Mingzhu City. I heard Mingzhu After the accident happened in the city, the government took emergency evacuation, so he followed him, and as long as there is a chance, he will come back."

    Lian Runing looked at Hao Jian with a little joy, and the latter pushed the rice in front of her: "Not hungry Is it? The food is going to be cold."

    Lian Runing wondered why Hao Jian was not happy for his friend's safety when he heard the news. When the middle-aged woman left, Hao Jian asked her first and said, "We're going all the way. , you listen to the radio, have you heard of emergency evacuation somewhere?"

    Lian Runing opened her mouth and said dumbly, "It seems that there is no."

    "No one knows which of the refugees is carrying the zombie virus. The so-called refuge is a joke."

    Lian Runing also understood: "He said that to reassure his parents?!"

    ______

    finished eating, The couple took out two disposable lunch boxes and handed them to Hao Jian: "Let me see where you are going. You may be hungry at night, so take them and eat on the road."

    Hao Jian was silent for a moment, then took the lunch boxes and handed them over to Hao Jian . Lian Runing went back to the car and took out the backpack. When Lian Runing saw that she took out three bags of things from her backpack, she was a little dazed—wasn't her previous
