Pale Silence

Chapter 23 Rescue

Song Jian drove the car and ran wildly on the road.

He knew why Chen Mo left.

He should know.

When he brought the dying young man back to the room from the hospital bed, he should have understood that Chen Mo wanted to leave.

The treatment didn't kill Chen Mo, but what's next?

Chen Mo will become a sacrifice to save the world sooner or later.

So Chen Mo will definitely leave. He is still a child, and self-protection is his only instinct.

Song Jian ran wildly all the way.

Chen Mo was walking in the direction of the urban area. It was only two hours since he walked until it got dark. He would definitely not go into the urban area when it was dark. The only possible places to go were those places around the urban area.

The forest farm is very dangerous, so Chen Mo must have found a place to live on the side of the road.

What's on the side of the road... what's on the side of the road?

Gas station!

Song Jian quickly recalled the gas station on this road in his mind.

There are not many gas stations on this road, Song Jian's family looked for them, and saw the arrogant Les Royce in the woods beside the road.

Song Jian slammed on the brakes.

this car...

When he and Chen Mo drove the car back to the base, they parked the car in the base as a public car.

Chen Mo left on foot, so why is this car parked here?

Song Jian sat in the car and called the base: "Where did Zhao Yan go?"

There was silence on the intercom, and no one answered him.

They all know.

Everyone knew what Zhao Yan was doing.

But all were silent.

They want to survive, they need Chen Mo, the humanoid vaccine.

Some people may not have the guts to do vicious things directly, but they still feel guilty and hope in their hearts, hoping that the bad guys will catch Chen Mo back, expect some unavoidable things to happen, and then send Chen Mo to the hospital as a matter of course. Altar to save the world.

They're not vicious, and they won't do anything.

They are just... cowardly enough to want to live a good life by themselves.

The long silence made Song Jian feel a chill in his heart.

He took a deep breath, threw away the walkie-talkie, and walked to the gas station across the road with a gun and a long knife.

In the darkness of night, the people outside the door and inside the house were silently confronting each other.

Zhao Yan picked up the chair and slammed it heavily on the door of the duty room.

The door was smashed open a bit, revealing the desk that was blocked inside.

Zhao Yan said, "Chen Mo, come back with us."

There was no answer in the dark duty room, only the soft breathing of the young man echoed sadly in the ruins of the doomsday.

Zhao Yan ruthlessly shouted: "Chen Mo! The world has become like this! We will all die! We will all die in this doomsday! But you won't, you have antibodies, you survived the zombie virus, you It is our hope to survive. Chen Mo, you are the hope of all mankind! You cannot evade your responsibility!"

In the dark night, the icy moon shines on the deserted world, and the gasoline emits a pungent and dangerous smell on the ground.

Not far away, zombies roamed the city in groups.

Zhao Yan kicked the cracked door hard again: "Chen Mo! Can you save us! Can you save us!!!"

Chen Mo's voice finally came from the duty room.

Very low, very weak, with the sadness and grievance of nowhere to complain, choked up and said: "But...it hurts..."

Being a test subject is too painful.

Lying on the lab bench hurts too much.

When those unknown medicines were injected into his body, he felt so painful that he was about to die.

Chen Mo squatted on the big desk, holding his crude spear and crying softly: "It really hurts..."

Zhao Yan took advantage of the faint moonlight to see clearly the slender body of the young man curled up into a ball, and the inexplicable sadness and unbearable feeling in his heart began to struggle again.

He said to himself: "I don't want to...I never thought of hurting this child...I didn't...I didn't want to hurt him...Chen Mo...I didn't want to hurt him, I just couldn't help...I There is no way..."

Just as Zhao Yan was in a daze, Chen Mo jumped out from the crack of the door holding a simple spear in both hands, and there was determination and strength in his tearful eyes.

A fruit knife tied to a wooden stick was slammed into Zhao Yan's eyes.

Zhao Yan screamed, covered his eyes and fell to the ground.

Chen Mo quickly wanted to run onto the road with his blood-stained spear in his hand.

He had already seen where these people parked just now, as long as he rushed over to grab that car, he could escape to a further place.

But before Chen Mo could get out of his gasoline circle, an arrow shot from behind suddenly, piercing through his knee from behind.

Chen Mo fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

Two other people came around from behind, one went to help Zhao Yan, and exclaimed: "Brother Zhao! Brother Zhao, your eyes!"

Another person pressed Chen Mo to the ground, and was about to tie Chen Mo's hands with a rope.

Zhao Yan covered his eyes and screamed, staggered to his feet, and roared, "Catch him! Catch him for me!"

The companion hurriedly said: "This little bastard can't run away, brother Zhao, brother Zhao, let's go! Quick!"

They made too much noise here just now, and the nearby zombies may have begun to notice.

Chen Mo's knee was pierced by arrows, and he was sweating from the pain.

Fortunately, he has endured too much pain in the laboratory, and this pain will not affect his ability to think.

He began to think, has Zhao Yan gone blind?

When he was brought back to the base, would Song Jian regret not coming to arrest him himself?

Chen Mo was pressed to the ground, his hands were tied behind his back, his pale face was pressed hard on the concrete floor, bloodstains were worn out in the darkness.

He couldn't help thinking of Song Jian.

Sadness, joy, despair, pain.

He thought of Song Jian's cold eyes when he handed him over to Yan Ruoming, and couldn't help but think of the temperature of Song Jian hugging him into his arms and kissing him lightly on the water tower.

Chen Mo closed his eyes.

He can't escape.

He will be captured and sent to the altar by fanatical believers to sacrifice to the gods of their new world.

Sacrifice to... Yan Ruoming...

At this time, a tall figure approached the gas station.

The person who was tying Chen Mo hurriedly raised his crossbow: "Who?"

The visitor raised his gun expressionlessly and said, "Let go of Chen Mo."

Chen Mo froze for a moment, struggled to open his eyes as if in a dream, and looked up at the tall shadow in front of him.

so high...

Really... so tall...

He was taller than his father in his childhood memories, with strong muscles in his shoulders and arms that bulged out his half-worn camouflage uniform. His belt around his waist was always stuffed with bullets, and he hung an old Tang knife.

Chen Mo was stunned, and even the sharp pain in his knee became very light and far away.

Song Jian...

Song Jian is here...

Song Jian wants these people...let him go...

The person supporting Zhao Yan hurriedly explained: "Boss, we just want to take Chen Mo back, but this little bastard is so inhuman that he blinded Brother Zhao."

Song Jian raised his gun and roared, "I want you to let go of Chen Mo!"

The slender boy was lying on the ground trembling, and the bloodstains from the abrasions could be seen on his delicate face under the moonlight.

Calf, why is Chen Mo's calf twisted in such an uncomfortable position?

What on earth did this man, completely overwhelmed by his survival instincts, do to his little thing!

Zhao Yan covered his bloody eyes, and shouted at Song Jian hysterically: "If you let him go, we will all die! Song Jian! You are our boss, I respect you, and I listen to you in everything. But we are almost over!" Do you know that we are almost finished!!! In the past few days, the corpses have touched the generator three times! Three times! They know our weaknesses, and their IQ is evolving!!! Just like that, just like this, you have to take the only Let go of your hope! Song Jian! Are you going to put all your brothers to death for your little lover!!!"

Song Jian aimed his gun at the person holding Chen Mo, and said through gritted teeth, "I want you to let him go!"

He knew, of course he knew!

He was the first to discover the evolution of zombie IQ.

He panicked, thought about it, and even thought about letting Yan Ruoming do a serum experiment on Chen Mo.

He was calmer and crueler than all of them.

But he can't.

After all, he can't do it!

He couldn't bear Chen Mo's eyes on him, and he couldn't bring the well-behaved and gentle boy he once hugged to the altar.

If...if Chen Mo wasn't Chen Mo, if Chen Mo hadn't thrown himself into his arms crying in the dark elevator shaft.

If Chen Mo hadn't closed his eyes on the water tower and let him finish everything.

If Chen Mo wasn't so obedient and obedient, if Chen Mo wasn't a little fool who loved him obsessively, he might have made the same choice as everyone else, making Chen Mo an experiment for the zombie vaccine for more people to live.

But he couldn't, he couldn't forget the way Chen Mo obediently followed behind him, and he couldn't forget the gentle and serious expression on Chen Mo's face when he wiped the barrel and blade for him.

He couldn't forget that he was a kid who loved candy, and he couldn't forget how much Chen Mo cried in despair and said it hurt.

He had to choose to protect Chen Mo, even if he was against the fate of all mankind, he still had to protect the child who loved him very much.

Song Jian said word by word: "I will not allow my people to become experimental products, Zhao Yan, I will never allow it!"

Chen Mo lay on the ground, his knees hurting so much that he was covered in cold sweat. It took a long time for his dull and fuzzy brain to react to what others said.

But Song Jian just stood here firmly and forcefully, which made the attachment and joy that never faded out uncontrollably in his heart.

Song Jian... Song Jian didn't send anyone to arrest him for experimentation.

Song Jian...Song Jian wants to protect him...

At this time, the person supporting Zhao Yan suddenly said in horror: "Zombies! Zombies are coming over there!"

The stalemate looked in the direction he pointed together.

On the side of the gas station, in the dark woods, a few zombies staggered out.

They were not in a hurry to attack, but stood at the edge of the woods and tilted their heads to observe these people.

A chill rose in Song Jian's heart.

Zombies are evolving...

They are evolving faster and faster, and have even begun to learn to observe.

Song Jian said: "Let go of Chen Mo, we will all die here if the stalemate continues!"

Zhao Yan roared: "If we don't bring Chen Mo back to the base, we will die sooner or later!"

The zombie standing on the edge of the forest raised its head and howled.

Accompanied by this howl, there were mighty and boundless howls one after another in the woods behind it.
