after tomorrow is the end

Chapter 278 Black Spring Town

Rustle... the sound of stepping on the grass.

Li Siqi and Low-key acted as the vanguard, proceeding cautiously.

Followed by Huangquan Lengyue, Dark Sabbath, Li Jie, Fan Fan, Wang An, Zhao Xuan, Dark Night Sirius.

Li Jie looked up, the sun was setting and the journey took too much time.

Turning left and right, going straight and turning, this secret key path is winding, Li Jie and others are walking slowly, and the sun is gradually setting.

At night, against the background of the moonlight, you can see the surface of the land, there will be thick green gas flowing, and the air will gradually be filled with infectious gas, which is the pollution caused by nuclear radiation.

"Attention everyone." Li Jie frowned. He is now immune to infection, but the desperadoes will still slowly reduce their health and need to take anti-infection drugs frequently.

"Don't worry, Brother Jie." Low-key walked at the front, and they eliminated some mutant wolves who were alone along the way.

Without the leadership of the wolf king or the alpha wolf, these scattered mutant wolves did not pose any danger at all.

Tat Tat Tat... This night, a group of people did not dare to use light sticks to light up, let alone light torches, and just walked forward in the dark.

After walking for a while, Li Siqi who was in the front suddenly stopped, and kept a low profile beside him.

"What's wrong?" Asked in a low-key voice, Li Siqi who was next to him had discovered abnormalities many times, and he was simply a scout.

"Look there." Li Siqi pointed to the front, and followed his guidance in a low-key manner.

It seems... there is some light.

"What's unusual?" Li Jie came over with a cat, and he had to be extra careful at night.

"Brother Jie, there is light there." Li Siqi pointed to the dark place ahead, flickering a light.

"Huh? What could it be?" Li Jie squinted his eyes. In this wilderness, where there should be no human habitation, the light is really suspicious.

"It seems to be... a torch..." Li Siqi judged based on experience.

"Torch? How is it possible? How could there be people here? Could it be that besides us, there are also people from the third caravan here?" They looked there with low-key surprise. It stands to reason that they were the first to explore here. people.

"Don't make wild guesses. Go over and have a look and you'll know. It shouldn't be a zombie." Li Jie ordered, and everyone lowered their voices and walked over slowly.

Rustle... the sound of stepping on grass and sand.

"May... the Holy Lord... come soon... to redeem... we... humble... believers..." I got closer, and I heard human voices!

Li Jie and the others stopped to observe. There was probably a dilapidated pier in front of them. On the pontoon of the pier, stood a... person holding a torch?

And on the seaside promenade of the pier, there are still three...people facing the sea kneeling?I saw these three people kneeling there clasping their hands, praying devoutly: "May... the Holy Lord... come soon... to redeem... we are waiting... humble... believers...".

"Brother Jie, do you need to... kill them?" An Ye Sirius whispered, it was really scary to see this scene at night.

"Look over there, there is a little light in the town, and there are moving things!" Fan Fan pointed to the town near the pier, which might be Heiquan Town.

"There are weird things here, so don't do it yet. Since they can use torches and speak human words, they should...maybe...not zombies. After all, this is Matilda's hometown." Li Jie is not sure, but even if Even if they encounter zombies, they are not afraid. There are only a few of them, and it takes a matter of minutes to kill them.

"Matilda? Is this Matilda's hometown?" Dark Sabbath asked in surprise. Everyone knew Matilda as a little guy, a little girl who practiced target shooting and released balloons.

"Uh, yes." Li Jie wished to slap both of himself, but he slipped his tongue.

Li Siqi, silently wrote it down, although he doesn't know if it has anything to do with his own investigation, but as long as he is hooked up with Li Jie, he must be careful.

He is now more and more curious and confused. What is curious is naturally the world, how real it is. The doubt is naturally about the natives, who have their own rich emotions and families. Is this really an NPC?
"Come on, let's get in touch first." Li Jie put away his weapon and tried to appear easygoing, but his cautious steps betrayed his heart.

The three people who prayed just glanced at Li Jie and others who came out of the secret key path, and then continued to pray without any response.

There is a show!Li Jie was a little excited when he saw this scene, which shows that they are not zombies that bite anyone they see!
Li Jie and the others walked towards the pontoon first, the man with his back facing them, holding a torch, with ragged clothes and withered body.

"Excuse me." Li Jie asked tentatively behind him, feeling extremely nervous.

"Huh?" The man turned around when he heard the voice.

"I'll go!" Huang Quan Lengyue looked at his face, she was so frightened that she wanted to draw her gun reflexively, but Zhao Xuan forcibly pressed it down.

"That..." Li Jie was also taken aback. This man's face was bulging with rotten pustules, and his eyes were slightly blue, which is the characteristic of infection!
"He came... but he hid his tracks, but he came... to find him..." This dry man actually spoke out. Although his eyes were a little dull, he still had a certain degree of consciousness, which showed that he was not a zombie.But... it also looks almost like a zombie...

"Ah? What?" Li Jie was taken aback by such a sudden sentence, thinking: Is she here?What's the meaning?Do you mean Matilda?But the two it in this man's mouth sounded like two people.Moreover, is it a man or a woman?

"You...should not come...here..." the dry man continued. The hoarse voice, which resembled the phlegm of a zombie, made Li Jie and the others feel their scalps go numb.

"We... just passed by, may I ask... what happened here?" Li Jie temporarily concealed the matter of Matilda, because he discovered that the three praying people were also severely infected.

"Stars... shining... two suns, two suns..." The dry man's pupils began to dilate, which was a frightened expression.

"Two suns?" Li Jie was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why he said such an impossible natural phenomenon.

"Everything comes from the hole, four holes? Uh... no, no, no... many, underground holes..." the dry man said inconsequentially, making people confused.

"Disease...people are sick...taken away...taken away..." the withered man was still talking to himself.

"Disease? What kind of disease?" Li Jie has been listening carefully, trying to discern useful information.Obviously, the reason why they are like this must be related to that disease.Maybe...that's why Matilda left.

"We are all infected?...No, no, no, no..." Hearing the disease, the withered man seemed to be stimulated, let go of his hand, and the torch fell into the water to extinguish it. He himself hugged his head and knelt on the ground in pain struggle.

"You, what's wrong with you! Hey! Are you okay!" Li Jie and others immediately surrounded him, looking at him nervously.

But what Li Jie and others didn't notice was that the three praying men quietly stood up and ran back to their small town: Black Spring Town.
