Night... Has it come so quickly this time?!
The last time night fell, it lasted for nearly half a month. Everyone had thought that this long-awaited daylight would also last for a long time.
But unexpectedly, this time the sun rose and stayed in the sky for less than a day before setting and disappearing again...
And this was too coincidental. Before the team entered the street of the living dead, the sky was still scorching hot, continuously baking this land.
However, in less than an hour of battle between the two teams inside, it turned into night again when they came out.
It seemed that even God was against them.
Although the weather and day-night changes in the apocalypse are already erratic, but for this team of only eight people, this probability is just like winning the lottery. All kinds of unlucky things come one after another!
Basically, all the survivors in the apocalypse now know how dangerous the night in the wilderness is.
So many organizations with conditions will build high walls and fortresses on the wilderness to block the chaos that comes when night falls.
But fortunately, there are still armored vehicles and tanks now. Generally, mutated creatures cannot pose a very great threat to them.
Everyone had gloomy faces and watched the billboards at the entrance of the street of the living dead getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror. It was estimated that they would never forget what happened in this hour for the rest of their lives.
Those living corpses didn't chase after them either. Perhaps they would select a new zombie king and command them to continue setting traps to "hunt" the deep-penetrating humans.
On the way back to the fortress on the highway, the hot temperature baked by the huge sun during the day almost instantly became cold after night fell.
The scarlet blood moon hanging in the sky cast a thick shadow on everyone's heart, constantly reminding them of the bloody scenes in the street of the living dead.
Gilbert lay in the carriage. The simple temporary life detector showed that his breath was extremely weak at this time.
The serious injuries all over his body were simply shocking. The broken white bones pierced through the skin and were exposed to the air. The blood had never stopped flowing since he was carried down.
The mercenaries changed his bandages over and over again, but soon they would be soaked by the flowing blood again.
Very likely, Captain Gilbert would die from excessive blood loss on the way before reaching the headquarters...
Xia Leng glanced at Gilbert who was lying motionless beside him. He didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps the selfless battles of these two captains had somewhat touched him.
He had thought that these nobles in the fortress company who were high and mighty to the refugees would be arrogant, selfish and violent guys.
But unexpectedly, these two captains who were baptizers would be willing to avenge the dead ordinary members and sacrifice themselves to save the lives of their brothers.
This was hard to see even in the old era. Perhaps only the experiences of sharing hardships in the apocalypse can witness true feelings...
"Uh..."
Suddenly at this moment, Xia Leng's keen hearing heard the faint gasp from his mouth!
Gilbert woke up?!
However, except for Xia Leng, due to the extremely loud roar of the armored vehicle and tank, the other mercenaries hadn't heard this faint gasp and didn't know that their captain had woken up.
Xia Leng saw that Gilbert's pale lips were slightly wriggling, seemingly wanting to say something.
And his eyes also opened a slit. The scattered pupils inside looked at Xia Leng beside him.
"Who... are you exactly... Are you even human... I saw everything about your battle with the zombie king... "
......
This time, through his slightly wriggling lips, Xia Leng understood what Gilbert wanted to say. This made his pupils instantly enlarge!
The thing he was worried about had finally happened...
Because during the battle with the zombie king before, Xia Leng had originally planned to just go through the motions and didn't want to expose too many of his own strange abilities.
However, later, the zombie king's powerful strength completely exceeded his imagination and almost wiped out the entire team!
If he didn't show some strength to deal with it, then he might also die under the claws of that monster!
The astonishing super healing power, extremely sensitive movement speed, the powerful strength that can fight hand-to-hand with the zombie king, and even the strange ability to repair clothes back to perfect condition.
All of the above seem to combine the abilities of apocalypse warriors, apocalypse hunters and other baptizers on Xia Leng!
He had originally thought that Gilbert had fainted, so he had a little bit of Fluke mentality and fully showed his abilities to fight against the zombie king. Unexpectedly, he was still seen by the other party in the end...
If Gilbert was rescued and reported his abilities to his superiors after returning.
Then Xia Leng would very likely become the new prey of the Komodo Company and be used by their crazy experimental department for research...
After Xia Leng saw what Gilbert wanted to say, there was still no change in his expression. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at the mercenaries in the vehicle.
The remaining few mercenaries hadn't noticed the situation here yet. Their faces were all filled with a dejected expression. It seemed that they hadn't adjusted their emotions from this extremely tragic battle.
So, Xia Leng's expression suddenly darkened, and he looked at Gilbert who had woken up beside him again!
One of his fingers extended a black tentacle and instantly condensed into a sharp needle shape, quietly reaching towards the position of the other party's temple!
Since this captain knew everything, then he should also understand that the more he knew, the faster he would die!
But why did Gilbert still say it to himself?
Wasn't he afraid that he would kill him to silence him?
At this time, Xia Leng didn't think so much anymore. He was determined to kill the other party. When his sharp tentacle was about to penetrate Gilbert's temple.
But he saw his lips start to wriggle again, and suddenly coughed up a large pool of blood.
"You don't need to kill me. I'm about to die soon too... I know I can't hold on much longer... Just before I die... I want to know where you got such powerful abilities... Why are you still disguising yourself... What identity are you... "
Gilbert finished saying these extremely weak words. The scattered pupils were filled with a thirst for knowledge...
And after Xia Leng saw these words, he was stunned for a moment. He, who should have had all emotions stripped away by the blacklight virus, seemed to have a bottle of mixed emotions overturned in his heart at this moment. It seemed that human emotions had reoccupied his cold heart...
But Xia Leng understood very well that he didn't need this kind of emotional change that was completely useless!
Otherwise, this could very likely become his fatal weakness in the future!
"You don't need to know so much... Go to heaven and reunite with your brothers."
Xia Leng finally responded to him faintly.
Hearing this answer, Gilbert seemed to have expected it. Since this person intended to hide his identity, how could he tell an unrelated person like himself.
So he curved the corner of his mouth and showed a barely painful last smile. If it weren't for this man, he would have died in the belly of that zombie king long ago. So he was smiling to express his gratitude to Xia Leng...
Gradually, Gilbert lost all expression in his pupils and exhaled his last breath, completely ceasing all movement...
Xia Leng also saw that he had completely suffered brain death. The blacklight virus instinct could no longer detect any signs of life on him.
Unconsciously, he silently stretched out his right hand and quietly closed the eyelids for this man who he had a trace of admiration in his heart...
Boom!!!
