Chapter 288 Living

I don’t know how long it took, but when Cheng Zijie finally regained consciousness, he felt that every bone in his body seemed to have been broken up.

Every joint is painful, every muscle is shaking, every tendon is trembling

It seems that there is no place on the body that can control it independently. It seems like a huge effort to move a little finger.

But... he actually survived. Under the siege of at least one hundred thousand zombies, under the strafing of the guns of the armed helicopters, and under the bombs dropped by jet fighters...

I'm alive

Cheng Zijie suddenly felt that this was his most amazing achievement.

I have saved many people before, wiped out many zombies, and defeated many human opponents.

But compared to the simplest survival this time, nothing seems to be anything but worth mentioning.

He said with difficulty, but immediately found himself still in the water. As soon as he opened his mouth, he poured a large mouthful of river water with the smell of mud.

But at this moment, he even felt like a sweet spring. He didn't care about it, and he opened his mouth and swallowed a few times before he finally felt that his body had regained a little vitality.

I don’t know why my eyelids seemed to be unable to open, but I could hear the silence around me. Only the gentle waves of Xiaoling River, accompanied by the wind blowing through the treetops.

It seems that he not only survived, but also escaped the pursuit safely...

The message came from my mind: Your situation was extremely urgent just now. I don’t know what you encountered, but you have suffered multiple injuries, your life was seriously threatened. Your two ribs were broken, your heart was squeezed, and you paused for a short time. A clavicle fracture and multiple wounds were blood loss. The body energy was close to exhaustion. I had to call your last energy to repair the damage to your key organs, but the damage to the fracture and limbs. I don’t have enough energy to deal with it. You must replenish your energy immediately.

Cheng Zijie felt the tense and confusion of Sixteen, as well as anxiety and fear

Since communicating with it for the first time, Cheng Zijie felt that this guy gradually became more and more like a human being, and he had real emotions as time went by.

Cheng Zijie didn't say much. He knew that he couldn't explain clearly for a while, and he knew that his danger meant the danger of the Sixteenth.

So, with sincere apology and gratitude, I greeted the Sixteen in my heart: Sixteen, I'm sorry, thank you

Sixteen also felt Cheng Zijie's emotions, stopped nagging, and fell silent

After a moment, a message came with some helplessness: I hope you are more careful and pay more attention to your own safety. Don’t always worry me. Although even if you die, my individual can spread it and continue to copy it, my own consciousness will disappear. In your human words, I am dead - I don’t want to die

Well, I know, thank you, I don't want to die either

You humans are really strange when I could call your memory before, I knew that many of you were willing to die for the sake of other individuals. This was simply unreasonable - you were also. Sixteen seemed to be mumbling, but the complaint seemed to have some confusion and curiosity.

Cheng Zijie immediately remembered He Anjing and Lu Xiaoyan, who had been desperate for themselves.

And I also tried to fight for the risk of being shot by Zhu Laowu for Lu Xiaoyan

Sixteen... You may not understand that we humans... will pay attention to many things more than our own lives. Cheng Zijie finally remembered the soldiers of the rebels just now. Why are they the same?

They fought to the death for the mission, never retreated, and even called the bazooka to shoot themselves

That's why I said you humans are unreasonable. Sixteen said in the end: I don't know your situation now, but it's obvious that your life is still under threat. You should seek safety as soon as possible. I'll take a break first to avoid my activities consuming your last energy

OK, thank you really, 16

I accept your gratitude. Sixteen agreed and remained silent.

Cheng Zijie opened his heavy eyelids and found that it was already dawn

A golden sunset casts warm sunshine from the high-rise buildings in the east. I am floating in the shallow water on the northeastern bank of Xiaoling River, hiding under the reed roots on the bank of a clump of river.

The river water gently washed away his body, feeling a little dizzy

Helicopters and jet attack aircraft are no longer visible, nor are there any soldiers nearby

The zombies that had been chasing themselves on the other side were still quietly staying on the other side, at least 100,000 heads... Cheng Zijie was a little shocked, but also a little scared.

I remembered the scene when I ran for my life last night, but it was a bit incredible

I was able to escape the joint pursuit of the two enemies under such circumstances. No matter how lucky I am, it is difficult to explain...

Now isn't the time to consider these

I wonder how Dai Xiaotian and the others are doing?

However, judging from the scale of the pursuit he attracted, the enemy did not search for Dai Xiaotian, but pursued him with all his strength.

That's good

Hope they can withdraw to Shuanghe safely

Although he caused such a big chaos in Xiaoling River, it would make them unable to return as soon as possible, they could replenish ammunition and supplies in Bixing Chau

Then there are enough personnel in the team, special forces, and Xiao Jing.

It is still no problem to find a waterway to evacuate from Haiyuan City. They can walk on the Daling River or go down the Lingjiang River and then take a detour back

Cheng Zijie carefully observed the movements around him for a while, but did not find any rebels again.

And his physical condition and the warning just now reminded him: I must leave immediately and find ways to replenish energy

Cheng Zijie remembered that he was still carrying some chocolate on his body, so he quickly took it out of his pocket, tore open the packaging, swallowed it in a few bites, and finally recovered some strength.

But when he tentatively climbed into the reeds from the water, he really felt that his state had reached its limit and could only maintain the speed and strength of an ordinary person.

If you want to act and fight like before, you will collapse if you don't last for a minute.

There are also some zombies on the river bank here. They were attracted by the pursuit last night, but they did not find Cheng Zijie

Cheng Zijie nervously touched the dog whistle in his arms, and was lucky to find it still

So he took it out and blew it for a while - it didn't require any special ability to blow this, so Cheng Zijie quickly sent the nearby zombies into a dormant state, and then passed through the reeds and slowly climbed onto the river bank.

Where should I stay and take a break?

You have to find food... If you can find food, you will rest for a while and Sixteen will help you heal your injuries and recover from your state.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to reach Bixingchao now... Cheng Zijie thought about it while stumbled downstream in the flood control forest belt on the river bank.

Not far from the shore, it is a campus of Haiyuan University... Continue to walk three or four kilometers northeast, and you will reach your home... Then in the hotel where you met Su Tiantian, there were food and water that you left behind, which was also very safe... But... Now the distance between three or four kilometers is too far for Cheng Zijie... Cheng Zijie walked for a while, stopped and took a breath, and suddenly saw a drainage outlet on the river bank ahead.

This drain is very large, enough for two people to bend over and pass at the same time

Cheng Zijie recognized that it was part of the Haiyuan City rainwater separation project: a special sewer for discharge of rainwater to the city.

It's not raining now, so the drainage channel should be accessible, and it should be built along the streets everywhere - this means that Cheng Zijie can go back to his home through this drainage channel!

Cheng Zijie was overjoyed, but he carefully observed the movements around him for a while, and confirmed that there were no zombies and no rebel troops, so he ran along the forest belt to the drainage port.

The lower half of the drain was flooded by the river, but Cheng Zijie didn't care about so much and got in.

It's really accessible inside, and it's not as dirty and smelly as the sewage drain.

Clean rainwater will be discharged directly into Xiaoling River through these drainage channels. It is not raining at this time, so there is not much water in the drainage channel.

Even if there is, Cheng Zijie is not afraid. After all, he will not be drowned.

So Cheng Zijie bowed his body and walked slowly along the drain pipe.

The water here flooded Cheng Zijie's calves, but from a distance, the pipe in front was gradually rising. When it arrived, the pipe should be dry.

In joy, Cheng Zijie speeded up. Although it was not a street on the ground, Cheng Zijie grew up here and was very familiar with the distance nearby. He was confident that he could reach a hotel near his home through this sewer.

But Cheng Zijie is too tired now and is seriously injured

The physical condition was so poor that he had to take a break

He knew that he could not speed up. The small amount of energy provided by the chocolates he just ate must be kept to deal with the emergency situation.

The world is full of dangers everywhere. He doesn't want to be so unfair, and dies in this sewer without any strength...

An emergency occurs soon

Cheng Zijie walked for a while, and when he was about to approach the slowly rising part of the sewer, he stopped to rest for a while.

But he seemed to hear a sound of water flowing from the shallow water behind him

The feeling of danger immediately surged into my heart. Cheng Zijie looked back alertly, but found nothing

From the outlet of the drainage channel here, the faint light that had shrunk into a little, there was nothing except the black water accumulation.

Did you hear it wrong?

I was too nervous... Cheng Zijie took a breath, bowed his body with difficulty, holding the wet wall of the drainage channel and was about to move forward, but he felt his legs suddenly entangled by a circle of soft things

Then the thing pulled hard, causing Cheng Zijie to fall into the water involuntarily
