After confirming that Tan Yan was really fine, the supernatural team began to organize the team.
After a day and a night of devastation, these ordinary people are exhausted. They dragged their wounds and asked: “Can we really go home right away?”
Qiu Qizheng replied firmly: “Yes, we can go back in less than half an hour, as long as we walk to our destination.”
According to the zombie king, in order to support the humans in Ping County, he will not let the zombies approach his territory, so the next journey can be a little more at ease, and there will be no danger.
With the idea of going home as a spiritual support, everyone finally recovered from the vicissitudes of the heart, cheered up, and followed the supernatural team to move forward.
It’s just that after being controlled by the zombie king, everyone gnawed at each other, and many people were injured. Even Ah San had bite marks all over his body. Fortunately, most of them could still walk, the rest of the road is not much, but there are still some people with injured feet, who really can’t move.
Qiu Qizheng discussed with Liang Xian, and decided to let the people in the car squeeze together, and put those who couldn’t walk in the car.
There’s only a little bit of road left, so it shouldn’t matter if you squeeze for a while.
The woman holding the bear child twisted her ankle. She kept crying, saying that the baby was injured. She wrapped the baby tightly in her clothes and buried his face in her chest. The clothes looked pitiful. Qiu Qizheng couldn’t help it, he let her squeeze into the car too.
There was only one kilometer left. Everyone quickened their pace. Although the team was injured and disabled, they finally walked to the transmission point smoothly.
No more twists and turns.
When Tan Yan nodded and said that this is the transmission point, even Liang Xian heaved a sigh of relief.
After more than twenty hours of twists and turns, fighting with the zombies, fighting with people, fighting with the road, fighting with their own people, they finally brought the people to the transmission point and could go home.
Even though more than 500 people were unable to return.
This can’t be considered a victory, everyone’s heart is heavy.
“In the past, we all took Tan Yan’s hand to go back. Now that there are so many people, if one person lets go, the ones behind them will not be able to go back.” Ah San worried, “Tu Zishi, can you feel who will let go?”
Tu Zishi covered his head and said nothing. He has reached his limit as a team leader all the way, but he just kept holding on and keeping silent. It seems that there is no way to make predictions.
“Can use the protective cover,” Tan Yan said, “Let everyone line up and stand in the protective cover. I should be able to go back with the protective cover.”
“Can only do it this way.”
Liang Xian asked Qiu Qizheng to organize everyone to line up and stand close to each other as much as possible. There are too many people, and being close together can save space.
Qiu Qizheng is lining up with Ah San, Tan Yan is preparing the protective cover, Liang Xian and others are going to the car to help the wounded. Tu Zishi only awakened his powers in the last world, and now he has a terrible headache and has lost his fighting power, so he can only sit at Tan Yan’s feet to rest.
Now everyone is exhausted, and only the supernatural team has some spare energy to help the injured.
Everyone carried the injured off the car one by one and carried them back to the team.
Liang Xian stood on the car, and let the people down one by one, Yan Yongfeng and Qin Li are responsible for carrying people back and forth.
When he picked up the woman holding the child, Liang Xian paused slightly, and instead of handing her over to Yan Yongfeng, he directly carried her out of the car and said coldly: “What happened to your child?”
Yan Yongfeng also found it strange that the child was crying in the car, but now he was motionless, wrapped in his mother’s arms in a jacket, as if he were dead.
The woman didn’t say a word, Liang Xian just stared at her coldly, his face was very gloomy, Yan Yongfeng wanted to step forward to investigate, but Liang Xian stopped him: “You and Tu Zishi quickly look at the wounded in the car, check if anyone has been bitten by this child, I suspect that this child has turned into a zombie.”
“How could…” They were about to go home soon, and this kind of thing happened, Yan Yongfeng’s face is not good, so he immediately went to find Tu Zishi.
The woman suddenly burst into tears and shouted: “No, no, I kept holding him and didn’t let him touch anyone else. When the zombie king attacked, he crawled out of the protective wall at some point. I searched inside the protective wall but couldn’t find him. Later, when the protective wall was opened, I saw him lying against the protective wall. I wrapped him in my clothes and no one bit him, please…”
Liang Xian didn’t believe her words, so he gathered everyone together, and Tu Zishi and Yan Yongfeng looked around, “What she said was true, no one was bitten.”
“Everyone has bite wounds, how can you be sure?” Liang Xian still turned his back on the two people and asked.
Tu Zishi head was in pain, but he panicked and stared blankly at Liang Xian, a terrible thought came to his mind, he couldn’t believe it.
“Zombies are different from people,” Yan Yongfeng said, “In my eyes, the skin of people who have been bitten by a corpse is black, even if the corpse poison has not spread, I can still see it.”
“Can you confirm it by looking at the skin?” Liang Xian asked.
He asked, putting his hands in his pockets.
Tu Zishi’s heart is getting more and more panicked.
“That’s right, just look at the skin, just now she wrapped the child, I didn’t see, luckily no one was bitten.” Yan Yongfeng said with fear.
“Oh, You arrange for everyone to line up.” Liang Xian said.
The woman looked at Yan Yongfeng desperately while holding the child, she asked: “Did I, did I get bitten?”
“No.” Yan Yongfeng looked carefully and said.
“You can go together, but he can’t.” Liang Xian said coldly.
The woman yelled suddenly, she rushed towards Tan Yan with the child in her arms, Liang Xian pulled him back, and Yan Yongfeng felt cold when he saw Liang Xian’s hand.
Liang Xian looked at Tu Zishi and Yan Yongfeng viciously, and shook his head at them.
Yan Yongfeng opened his mouth: “You…”
“Shut up!” Liang Xian scolded.
Yan Yongfeng shook his hands, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked carefully at Liang Xian’s face, tears rolled down involuntarily.
The woman cried loudly to Tan Yan: “I beg you, I beg you, let this child go back, we’re already here… The country… no, isn’t there a research institute? I sent him to study, you can study the zombie virus, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope. I kept holding him, he never bit me, he still remembers me as his mom, take him back… please…”
“No!” Liang Xian said, “Once the virus in another world infects and reproduces with people in this world, no one knows what it will evolve into. This thing is too variable. Do you want to infect the real world with zombie virus?”
Her voice was so loud that people not far away who were waiting to go home in the cold wind heard it. Everyone heard that this woman actually wanted to take a zombie back, and they all threw the things in their hands at her.
Mineral water bottles, steel pipes, and even mobile phones were thrown at her. The woman hugged the child and cried loudly, while Tan Yan stood in front of her and blocked the attack for her.
“Everyone, stop fighting.” Tan Yan said.
Hearing his voice, the crowd stopped attacking, and someone shouted: “Why do you still care about her, leave her and that little zombie behind, we go back, won’t we be able to go home right away? What else do we have to wait for!”
Can’t blame everyone for being too angry, it’s really been too long of torture, and everyone’s nerves can’t bear a little change.
Tan Yan bowed deeply to the woman, and said in a heavy tone: “I’m sorry, he can’t come back with us. Everything I do is to protect the real world from being affected by this post-apocalyptic world, and everything that may cause harm to the real world must be removed. It was our incompetence that failed to protect him, I apologize to you, but he can’t go back.”
Liang Xian looked at Tan Yan’s lowered head, covered his right arm with his left hand, and held it tightly.
The woman knelt in front of him, crying, and put her finger in the mouth of the little zombie. Before Tan Yan could say ‘don’t’, the little zombie smelled a human and bit down hard.
After the woman was bitten, her expression calmed down a lot. She stood up with the child in her arms and said to Tan Yan: “It’s my fault, I was too tired to keep an eye on him, he secretly climbed out of the protective wall and turned into a zombie. It was my fault. I couldn’t let him go, so I held him and got in the car. Fortunately, no one was bitten by him, and everyone can go home.”
“Mama accompany you.” She bowed her head and kissed the face of the little zombie, and gradually became kind, holding the child and walking towards the night, singing a lullaby as she walked.
Tan Yan stretched out his hand to stop her, but she had already been bitten, so what was the use of stopping her at this time.
He clenched his fists in the air, his arms trembling uncontrollably.
These hands can lift meteorites, block the wind, and kill the zombie king, but they can’t save a mother.
Tu Zishi and Yan Yongfeng wanted to say something to Tan Yan, but Liang Xian glared at them again.
This time Liang Xian did not come to comfort Tan Yan, but said: “Go back, everyone is lined up, everyone can go home soon.”
Tan Yan used his left hand to separate the fingers of his fisted right hand one by one, and said with difficulty: “You guys should also enter the protective shield.”
“We don’t need it,” Liang Xian said with a calm face, “It’s too dangerous here, you have to control such a big protective cover, and you have to guard against danger, your back is empty. Ordinary people enter the protective cover, we line up behind you, and everyone just grabs the front and back clothes with their hands.”
“I’m in the rear,” he added.
Tan Yan always believed in Liang Xian’s judgment, nodded, and walked to the place where everyone stood in line.
Here is very close to the transmission point, Tan Yan can touch the transmission point as long as he stretches out his hand.
He opened the protective cover to wrap everyone in it, put one hand on the protective cover, and touched the transmission point with the other. He must ensure that one side is in contact with the protective cover, dragging the protective cover and the people inside into the transmission point, so he cannot be in the protective cover.
After getting ready, Tan Yan felt someone grabbing his back, and at the same time called out to count, it was Ah San.
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!”
They are Ah San, Qiu Qizheng, Qin Li, Tu Zishi, Yan Yongfeng, and the last 6 is Liang Xian.
Everyone is in place, Tan Yan leads everyone to the transmission point. Under his control, the protective cover rose into the air and disintegrated at the transmission point along with Tan Yan.
When everyone followed Tan Yan and was disassembled one after another, Yan Yongfeng felt that the hand holding his back was loosened.
He rested his head on Tu Zishi’s back, weeping so hard.
Liang Xian was bitten. When he was about to take the child from the woman and send him off to the car, he was bitten by the little zombie who suddenly turned his head.
Tan Yan said that any harmful things cannot be brought back to the real world.
So Liang Xian stood at the end of the line, quietly let go of his hand in the dark night, watched everyone disintegrate in front of him, and went home.
“Goodbye…” Liang Xian waved at the transmission point in the darkness.
