Lin Xiao and her daughter hid in an abandoned car, trying to keep their bodies as low as possible so that their heads did not exceed the height of the car window. Because the window is not filmed, the view from the outside to the inside is very clear.

She could feel her heart beating wildly, afraid that it would suddenly stop working because it was beating too often.

If so, what about her daughter?

She took a few deep breaths and tried to adjust her emotions. It didn't matter if she died, but she would never allow her daughter to stay here alone.

Lin Xuan deduced that it was almost noon, and the sky outside the car window was gray, and a group of crows were circling in the air. She had never seen so many crows gathered together. It wasn't until the fall of the world that everything became supernatural.

The daughter closed her eyes tightly, resisting the urge to cry, and covered her mouth with two small hands, trying not to make any noise.

When Lin Xiao saw her daughter's appearance, she felt a pang of pain, and often sighed that in such an era, it was a mistake to give birth to her.

She felt very remorseful, and the tears inadvertently flowed down. At the same time, she felt funny that she was not as strong as her five-year-old daughter.

Lin Xuan covered her daughter's ears with her hands, and at this moment, how she wished that she could grow two more hands so that she could cover her ears.

She was lying almost flat on the floor of the back seat of the car, with the back of her head next to the door handle and the window above her head. The daughter was curled up in her arms, and there was a commotion outside the car.

She heard footsteps getting closer and closer, sounds coming from their throats, as if demons were whispering.

At this moment she began to get nervous and scared again, and she looked down at her daughter and found that her daughter was also looking at her.

Lin Xuan tried to squeeze out a smile, then blinked his right eye and made a funny expression.

Although the daughter covered her mouth, judging from her slightly curved eyes, the daughter was amused by her expression.

For some reason, as soon as she saw her daughter's innocent expression, she felt sad.

She was eager to rush out, carry a sharp axe, and the group of walking corpses wandering outside the car, fighting for your life.

Suddenly there was a creaking sound overhead, and Lin Xuan looked through the reflection of the opposite car window and saw a walking corpse sticking its face against the car window, opening its blood basin mouth, and two claws constantly scratching on the glass.

Lin Xiao slowed his breathing, expecting the walking dead to leave quickly.

The daughter may have found the walking corpse through the squinting eye slit, and was curled up in her mother's arms at the moment, shivering uncontrollably.

After living for thirty years, Lin Xiao felt so helpless for the first time. Once upon a time, she could still rely on her own men, and even after men died, there were many survivors who took care of their mothers and daughters as her own relatives.

But just last night, the walking dead broke through the defenses of the survivor base, knocked down the protective wall, and killed hundreds of survivors indiscriminately.

Some have died in their sleep and woke up to be the same kind of walking dead.

In a panic, everyone fled in all directions, while others held their ground until their claws tore through their throats.

Even if a small number of people can escape, the possibility of survival is very slim.

Click.

It was the sound of glass breaking, Lin Xiao was very regretful, when he escaped earlier, why didn't he find a weapon to take with him?

In the past, she relied too much on the protection of others, but now when facing danger, she is like a waste, watching the walking dead get closer and closer to herself and her daughter.

Then, with a bang, the window shattered.

The glass ballast fell from the top of her head, and she desperately covered her daughter's head. The two paws of the walking dead reached into the car window and clamped the daughter's shoulders.

"Go away." Lin Xuan clenched his fists angrily, turned and slammed the head of the walking corpse.

How would a walking corpse know that it hurts? He grabbed the little girl's paw and refused to let go.

Lin Xiao hugged her daughter and pulled desperately, and she and the walking dead looked like two divorced couples vying for custody.

The daughter kept crying, but her two small hands still covered her mouth, because her mother had told her that if she didn't make a sound, she could avoid the wounds of the walking dead.

The walking corpses outside the car gathered more and more, like a group of ants that sniffed food, and the black pressure was squeezed together, and the dilapidated car was about to squeeze and deform.

touch!

A gunshot pierced the sky, and the slow-moving corpses waited two or three seconds before they began to turn back and look at the place where the gunshots were coming.

Grabbing the little girl's walking corpse, he also released his hand at this time, and seemed to be attracted by the sound behind him.

Lin Xiao took the opportunity to snatch her daughter over, hugged her tightly, and then curled up on the floor inside the car. When the walking dead left, she took off her daughter's coat to check on her shoulders.

She hadn't noticed it just now, and now she found that the back of her head had also hit blood, and it was faintly painful at this time.

On the daughter's shoulder, there was a bruise left by the claws, but fortunately, there was no broken skin and bleeding.

The walking dead swayed away from the car like ducks and walked in the direction where the sound came from.

Lin Xuan couldn't see the situation in the distance, but she knew that someone must have come to rescue them.

Then, in the distance, there was a clicking sound. From Lin Xuan's point of view, the walking corpses fell from the outside to the inside, and the layers of walking corpses fell down in response, and the head and body were hit by bullets.

A mist of blood sprayed in the air, and when the sound stopped, almost all the nearby walking corpses fell to the ground.

The crows that had been hovering in the air for a long time were like another army of the walking dead, swooping down from the air, greedily nibbling at the rotten flesh on the ground.

A strong man, stepping over the corpse, walked toward the car. He pulled the car door open and said, "I don't know how many bullets were wasted for you." ”

"Thank you." Lin Xiao burst into tears with excitement, and the man seemed to have arrived as a savior, which made her see a glimmer of hope for survival. "Can you take us with you?"

"What's the benefit of bringing you along?" The man said.

He was dressed in a black overalls, with strong muscles propped up under the clothes, looking like a robot. His face, in particular, was angular, as if it had been polished with a cutting machine.

He had three scars on the left side of his face, from his eyebrows to his chin, perhaps left by some beast.

"I can cook and I can wash my clothes." Lin Xuan thought for a moment and then added, "As long as you can get the ingredients, I can make it delicious." ”

"I think you're delicious." The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and he glanced at her obscenely.

Lin Xiao's cheeks were a little hot, and he asked again, "So you agreed?" ”

"Don't agree, after all, so many bullets have been wasted, you have to find a way to make up for it." The man said.

Lin Xiao and her daughter got into the man's car; an off-road vehicle with a high chassis and good shock resistance, drove through the road full of corpses, without any bumps.

The man said that his name was Li Fengyi, and he was five years old at the Chinese New Year's Eve, teaching martial arts at a sports school.

His relatives were all dead, and he still had a few relatives with him, but all the way down, they were all dead.

Since then, he has been alone and unwilling to walk with people. Today, he saved the mother and daughter for no other reason, simply to see this group of walking corpses, after all, they have taken away the home of mankind and destroyed the lives of countless people.

Of course, rationally speaking, these walking corpses cannot be blamed. Blame the people who developed the travel corpse virus.

"Where are we going?" Lin Xiao held her daughter and sat in the co-pilot, who had just eaten something and was now asleep.

"Find a place to sleep for the night and then help you find a survivor camp." Li Feng's eyes were also staring at the road, and a walking corpse was dangling on the road. He carefully maneuvered around the walking dead so as not to bump into him and wake up the little girl.

"What about you?" Lin Asked. "Are you always alone?"

"I'm used to it."

"What's so bad about staying together?"

"You know what?" Li Feng also turned his head solemnly and glanced at her. "Compared to the walking dead, talent is the most terrifying."

"I know what you mean." She said. "But in such an environment, wouldn't it be better for everyone to stay together?"

"Everyone chooses differently." Li Feng also said. "I envy your daughter."

"Why?"

"She can still sleep so soundly."

"Yes!" Lin Xiao thought of this and began to blame himself again.

By the time she was five months pregnant, walking dead had begun to erupt around the world, not very serious at first, but soon spread around the world.

At that time, her husband advised her not to give birth at all, and to be born was also a sin.

Lin Xiao did not listen at all, she had been pregnant for five months, and soon she could see the crystallization of their love, and at this time she was told to give up, which was equivalent to murder.

But now it seems that she is beginning to regret that she did not follow her husband's advice.

Later, in countless painful nights, she had thought of suffocating her daughter with a pillow herself, and then she went with her.

It's too tiring to linger in this world.

After dark, Li Feng also parked his car in front of a small bungalow in the suburbs. The bungalow has two floors, the gate is locked, and the original owner has either escaped or died in the house.

"Stay in the car and don't make a sound, I'll go to the house first." Li Feng also only brought a dagger and a flashlight, after all, too loud a noise will usher in more walking corpses.

He turned off the car, locked the door, and went around the back of the house.

He took the dagger in his mouth and climbed up the second-floor balcony along the water pipe. Then from the balcony room, into the house.

He turned on the flashlight and inspected the two rooms on the second floor, then the living room, and finally the kitchen and toilet, and a small utility room, and found no danger.

The room was well furnished, and the quilts on the bed were neatly folded, and it seemed that the owner of the house was in a hurry. When he went to the kitchen just now, he found a bowl of rotten dishes in the microwave.

He came to the landing and walked to the first floor with his back against the wall.

At this time, he seemed to hear some movement.

His keen intuition told him that there was something coiled around the stairwell, but it shouldn't be human. He shone the light of the flashlight toward the staircase, and the dagger was in front of him, ready to fight.

He moved his steps closer and closer to the landing on the first floor, when there was a crunching sound, like a sound coming from the throat of an animal.

Li Feng also judged that it might not be a walking dead, but a dog, or a wolf.

He was only seven or eight steps up the first floor, with a low cackling sound, right behind the stairwell in the darkness.

He slowly moved the light pillar of the flashlight to the back of the stairs.

Li Feng also stopped moving, standing in place, in front of him in the darkness filled with pillars of light, standing a Scottish Shepherd.

Behind the shepherd, two skeletons lay.

Li Feng also found that there was an earthen short gun on the ground next to the skeleton, and there were two bullet holes in the wall. The owners of the house may have committed suicide, but they did not remember to kill the dogs together.

He observed the state of the dog again, which was obviously sick, its eyes glowing scarlet, the corners of its mouth beginning to rot, and a hole in its belly, revealing Bai Sensen's ribs.

It is concluded that the owner of the house may have been infected with the disease and committed suicide. Then the dog ate the infected carcass and was also infected.

"Good dog, come here." Li Feng also threw his tongue out and teased the walking dog.

The corner of the walking dog's mouth was hanging two shiny slimes, fanning its nose wings and rushing towards Li Fengyi.

Li Feng also saw the timing, when the walking dog was still in mid-air, the sharp dagger flew out in an arc, and fiercely inserted the position of the corpse dog's temple.

He turned his body in half a circle to prevent the walking dogs from crashing into him, avoiding being hurt by sharp teeth and claws, and not wanting to stain his clothes.

The walking dog slammed into the handrail of the stairs, smashed two stakes on the handrail, and then rolled to the ground and stopped moving.

Li Feng also inspected every room and corner on the first floor, and after eliminating danger, found a large suitcase, packed the dead dog and skeleton inside, and threw it outside.

Lin Xiao hugged her daughter and followed Li Fengyi into the house.

They shut all the doors and windows to death, because at night, the walking dead's sense of smell was unusually sensitive.

In the early hours of the morning, after Lin Xiao coaxed her daughter to sleep, she checked the doors and windows in the house again. She did not enter her daughter's room when she passed, but went to Li Fengyi's room.

They all slept on the second floor; the stairwell leading to the first floor was blocked by a large wardrobe with several glass bottles on it, and if there was any movement, they could immediately wake up from their sleep.

Li Fengyi's door was not closed, it was hidden, Lin Xuan pushed the door in, and found him sitting on a chair by the window, looking at the woods sprinkled with blue moonlight.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Lin Asked.

"What about you?" Li Feng also asked rhetorically.

"I can't sleep." Lin Xiao walked over to him, looked down at him, and his breathing became rapid.

Li Feng also knew that she wanted to repay herself, but he didn't want to take advantage of the danger, so he pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down!" Let's talk for a while. ”

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, feeling a little embarrassed, and then turned and sat down in a chair, waiting for him to speak.

Li Feng also said with a gloomy look, "Actually, before I saved you, I wanted to commit suicide." ”

Lin Xiao was startled by his words, although she often had such thoughts, but the man in front of her seemed so strong and trustworthy.

"Why?" she asked.

"I found a secret." He said.

"What secret?"

"The world is illusory, like a dream, or a game."

"I don't understand."

"I often have a dream in which I am a different person, with a different identity, a different life. The world was normal, there were no walking dead, and everywhere was full of birds and flowers. ”

"You're just running away."

"No." Li Feng was also a little excited. "I often feel that the world is not real. I can always predict where there will be walking dead and where there will be danger. Just like during the day, I can feel you all the same, as if I had completed some kind of game task, as if it had been arranged in the dark. If I could get rid of this dream, maybe I could go back to the real world. ”

"That's not enough to say what your guess is, what if this is the real world?" If you die, you may have nothing left. ”

"There's nothing to be sorry about, it's painful to be alive."

Lin Xiao knew that he was lonely, that loneliness had destroyed his mind, and that the world in his dreams was just a reaction to his escape from reality. Even his intuition was only forcibly explaining his conjecture.

Lin Xiao was willing to sacrifice himself for his daughter, and he also wanted to save this collapsed man, because only he could bring a glimmer of hope to the poor mother and daughter to survive.

She got up and walked over to him, took his hand, gently pulled him to his feet, and then snuggled her head against his chest.

Li Feng did not refuse, and the two entangled together, comforting each other in the dark.

In the middle of the night, Lin Xiao returned to his room and hugged his daughter to sleep.

The next morning, they left the house.

The buggy drives on a tree-lined path, and the sunlight shines through the leaves on the road, leaving dappled spots of light. If there are no walking dead, there will always be an illusion that nothing has happened in this world.

Lin Xiao suddenly said to him, "You don't have to help us find the survivor camp, if you don't mind, we want to follow you all the time." ”

"It's not safe to follow me, and in case I have an accident, you won't be able to protect yourself."

He actually wanted them to stay, but when he thought of building a solid relationship with them, he was afraid that he would lose them one day, and this situation had been experienced too many times, and he did not want to suffer the same blow again.

"As long as you don't commit suicide, you'll be fine." Lin Xiao quipped. As soon as she opened her mouth, she regretted it a little, afraid that her blunt words would offend him.

But no, he laughed and said, "As long as you're here, I won't have any more suicidal thoughts." ”

Li Feng also suddenly realized that death is not terrible, what is terrible is that it is impossible to give up the bond between relatives. The appearance of Lin Xuan and her daughter made him once again in awe of death.

In the days that followed, the three of them traveled together, surviving in a world full of walking dead.

Whenever there were not enough supplies, Li Feng also settled the mother and daughter, and then went out alone during the day to find supplies.

They found a private villa in the suburbs, the location is very remote, there are almost no walking dead. Moreover, an iron fence was built around the villa, which was more than two meters high, which was completely able to resist the invasion of the walking dead.

Li Feng also planned to build another circle of wooden fences outside the iron fence, and then wrap them with barbed anti-theft nets; it is best to nail a circle of sharpened wooden stakes outside the wooden fence and insert them obliquely into the soil, which was learned from the movie.

When the wooden fence was built, he still thought about growing some vegetables in the yard.

Almost every other week, Li Feng also had to go out to find supplies. Lin Xiao and her daughter hid at home to read; every time Li Feng also brought back many books, in this world without electricity, reading is their only hobby.

Earlier today, just after dawn, Li Fengyi went out with his weapon again.

There was a small town three kilometres away with a small supermarket, a place he frequented.

After packing up his food and groceries, he drove home.

On the way, what he called intuition reappeared, and it was a bad premonition.

He had rarely felt this way since Lin Xiao and his daughter appeared, but today it was particularly strong.

He suddenly realized that his hands clutching the steering wheel were trembling desperately, as if they were about to lose something.

But what would make him so nervous about losing?

He pressed the throttle to the bottom and headed straight for home.

9

More than ten minutes later, he parked his car outside the iron fence. Jump out of the car with a gun, open the iron door, and close the lock.

Then look around, there is no walking corpse, everything is normal, the doors and windows of the villa are tightly closed, which makes him put his mind at ease.

Perhaps Lin Xiao was right, it was his spirit that was so tense that his so-called intuition affected his judgment.

Li Feng also forgot to take the supplies off the car, thinking that it would not be too late to come back later, so he decided to go into the house and report to them for safety.

He had just walked up the steps when the door opened.

But what appeared in front of her was not Lin Xiao, nor her daughter, but a strange middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wore a clean and straight black suit, a blue tie, and his hair was combed back, looking like it had been smeared with a lot of wax.

"Who are you?" Li Feng also raised his gun and aimed it at the middle-aged man's face.

The middle-aged man's mouth rose slightly, and he said indifferently: "If I were you, I would put down the gun and then ask me to tell you where the woman and the child were, instead of pointing at me recklessly." ”

Li Feng was also furious, his finger joints were white, he resisted the urge to pull the trigger, slowly put down the gun, threw it on the ground, and said: "The house and the car, as well as supplies are for you, let them go." ”

"That's right." The middle-aged man laughed slyly. "But I'm not here for that, I'm here for you."

"Me?"

"That's right." The middle-aged man opened the door completely. "Come in and talk again."

Li Feng also followed the man into the house and found several men in suits in the house.

Lin Xiao and her daughter hugged each other and sat on the sofa, and they all looked at Li Fengyi in horror.

Li Feng also nodded to them, signaling not to be afraid, everything would be fine.

"Say, what are you looking for me for?" I don't know you. Li Feng also said.

The middle-aged man put away his smile and said seriously, "We have detected that you have discovered the structure of this world." ”

"What a construct." Li Feng also knowingly asked, he was very satisfied with his current life and did not want to believe other conjectures.

"The world is really virtual, we're all just a certain program code." The middle-aged man pointed to Lin Xiao and her daughter and continued, "Including them, they are all virtual people who do not exist." ”

"No." Li Feng also said. "This is the real world, get out of my house."

"Don't you want to get rid of the virtual world?" Escape from this planet under the rule of the walking dead and live a normal life. The middle-aged man said.

"Even if it's virtual, I'm satisfied." Li Feng also said.

"Remember your dream?" That's all real. In the real world, you have a happy family and a decent job, don't you want to go back? The middle-aged man looked at Li Fengyi defiantly.

Li Feng also sneered and asked, "Then why did I come here?" ”

"Good question." The middle-aged man raised his voice and showed a very smug expression. "In the real world, you're a scientist who studies the brain, and you and several pundits have developed simulators for the virtual world. This technology is very important for the future development of human beings to better understand how the brain works.

You sign an agreement with the company and are willing to try out the results of the technology for yourself. Nowadays, the technology seems to be successful, although there are some loopholes, which you are aware of. But think about it, as a scientist with an annual salary of several millions, there are endless honors and wealth waiting for you when you go back. ”

For a moment, Li Feng was also moved. He looked at Lin Xuan's mother and daughter again, and at this time they were already crying and looking at him affectionately.

The little bits and pieces of these days flashed in his mind like a barrage of bullets, all of them were happy moments, should he really just give up on them?

He felt a headache and teetered on the edge of desire and emotion.

At this time, another intuition told him that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Behind the sugar-coated shells, there must be a huge trap hidden.

Even if he leaves the virtual world and has an annual salary of millions, will he be happy? What kind of person is that so-called real-world him? He couldn't remember it at this point.

He only knew that at this moment, in this virtual world, a man named Li Fengyi, a woman named Lin Xiao and her daughter, lived happily together.

Isn't that enough? Isn't it to live for pleasure? Is it really that important to live in?

"If I really developed this technology, it must have been designed to help people who are unhappy." I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay. Li Feng also said firmly.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No, you have to leave." In that world, you still have family to take care of. ”

He was right, and Li Feng thought to himself, if he stayed, it might be too cruel for his family in the real world.

Of course, the premise is that the middle-aged man did not lie to him.

"Unless you find a way to restore the memory of my other identity, I won't leave." Li Feng also said.

"Can't do it." The middle-aged man said. "Ask you again, can't you go?"

"Don't go."

"Hands-on." The middle-aged man said to his subordinates.

A short-haired man, suddenly raising his gun, pulled the trigger without hesitation at Lin Xiao and her daughter.

The mother and daughter died and collapsed on the couch, like two broken puppets.

Always feeling restless after going out, he went home early and witnessed two murders

Li Feng also shouted and rushed to the middle-aged man like crazy.

The middle-aged man raised his pistol, fired a shot at Li Fengyi's head, and said calmly: "The experiment was successful, he will understand." ”

10

The man lying on the instrument finally opened his eyes. He has two memories at the moment, in the virtual world, his name is Li Fengyi, an individual school instructor and a walking dead hunter.

In reality, his name is Wang Long, not a brain expert, but an ordinary company employee.

Two months ago, he and his wife came to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and they couldn't say what the specific reason was, anyway, it was all trivial and trivial, and they wanted to divorce.

The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau, from which mediation, forced the two to go through a two-month cooling-off period before deciding whether to divorce.

Two months later, the two came to the Civil Affairs Bureau again and insisted on leaving.

However, the divorce rate in the country remains high, and in order to curb the divorce rate, mediation methods in the virtual world have been introduced.

Wang Long and his wife agreed to carry out the test of the virtual world under the persuasion of the staff, if it still does not work, there is really no way at all, after all, it is difficult for the Qing officials to break the housework.

"Do you still want to leave now?" The staff lifted Wang Long up and handed him a cup of coffee.

Wang Long took a few sips greedily, as if he hadn't drunk such a delicious coffee in a century.

"Don't leave, don't leave, what about my wife?" Wang Long asked urgently.

The staff took Wang Long to another room, and his wife had just woken up.

"Lin Xuan." Wang Long rushed over excitedly. "Oh no, Lily, I'm not leaving, you don't want to leave me."

Lily stood up with her bulging belly, leaned on Wang Long's chest, and cried, "I will not leave, I will be together for the rest of my life, and I will die together." ”

"I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

Wang Long and Lily bowed to the staff and walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau holding hands.

"Husband, I want to have a daughter."

"Me too." (Original title: Nightmare Code)
