Chapter Eighteen Hurts So Much

  The monster let out a few wails towards the sky, one hand holding Lin Wu Xuan and throwing him out, tossing him several meters away. The monster then knelt on the ground with both legs, convulsing a few times, making low cries from its mouth, but its mouth was still opening and closing as if saying something.

  That's right, it was saying something, its unclear mouth was saying: "Hurt...hurt...hurt..." While saying hurt, it was also wailing and crying.

  In the quiet night, under the clear and cold moonlight, this hoarse cry is particularly chilling.

  Only to see Lin Wu Xuan being flung out, he quickly scrambled up and leapt in front of the monster with incredible speed. His eyes were fierce as he pulled out the Mitsubishi military spear from the monster's head and kicked it away.

  Only to see the monster's forehead suddenly gushing out blood, that disgusting scene almost made me vomit.

  Mitsubishi bayonet, triangular in shape, with three blood grooves. The blood grooves serve not only to allow blood to flow out but also facilitate the next action. The triple-edged blade is designed so that when it enters the human body, the blood flows out through the grooves and when the muscles contract, they do not cling to the blade surface, preventing the blade from being "sucked" in. This allows for smooth withdrawal of the blade from the body for the next action. Without the blood grooves, due to blood pressure and violent muscle contraction, the blade would be stuck inside the body, making it difficult to pull out, affecting the soldier's subsequent actions. It is believed that no soldier wants to waste time pulling out a bayonet.

  I watched Lin Wu Xuan wiping his Mitsubishi military dagger with a piece of cloth, walking towards the front of the car without looking back, as if nothing had happened.

  It wasn't until I was sure that monster was dead that I finally sat down on the sand with a thud, my tightly strung muscles temporarily relaxing.

  For a long time, until they buried the monster's corpse and the dead people, they all surrounded Dahei, who was bitten by the monster on one arm.

  They were whispering to each other, what was the reason for this, some people said it might be the spread of a virus, others said they had been bitten by zombies, and others said that the gods were warning us, strangers stay away, or else death.

  Because Aqing was also bitten before, the commotion caused now, no one is willing to go and care for Dahei, just staring at Dahei who has lost his arm. Dahei is a tough guy, when his arm was just cut off, he only cried out once, and until now he has been enduring the pain without crying out in agony, if it were me, I would have been screaming in pain long ago.

  I stabilized myself, got up from the sand, and walked over slowly. On his dark face, he tightly furrowed his brow, stubbornly enduring the pain. His pair of shiny black eyes gazed out at the distant desert, lost and hopeless.

  No one bandaged his wound for him, just letting him bleed freely.

  Loneliness, perplexity, regret, despair - these are what I read from those big black eyes. Those words suddenly rushed into my mind and pressed down on me until I couldn't breathe.

  "Who's next?" Huang Daxian spoke up and asked, looking around at the people surrounding us.

  As soon as this was said, no one else spoke up and everyone fell silent. I moved my mouth but didn't know what to say.

  Huang Daxian let out a cold laugh and pulled out his gun, saying "No one is willing to make a move, so I'll do it myself."

  Just as Huang Daxian was about to pull the trigger, I exclaimed and stopped him: "Wait..."

  Huang Daxian nodded and then raised his eyes to ask me, "You want to come and try your hand? That's okay too."

  I shook my head vigorously and said, "He's still alive, this is against the law."

  One death after another has made the whole incident increasingly bizarre. In these few days, I've seen so many deaths that it's as if my entire life's quota of witnessing death has been used up.

  "Break the law?" Huang Daxian glared at me fiercely, his eyes filled with an intense and ruthless gaze: "If we don't kill him, the next person to be infected will be you, and it's also you who will die."

  I have no way to refute, in my heart it is very clear that what Huang Daxian said was true. Previously, he had suggested killing Aqing, but Tang Guangze did not do so, which led to the death of so many comrades this time.

  If I hadn't killed the big black one, maybe next time I wouldn't be so lucky and it would be me who died. Thinking of that neck being eaten mouthful by mouthful like eating fruit, I could clearly hear the sound of bones.

  But Dahei is still Dahei now, he hasn't lost his mind yet. If we really kill him like that, can we live with ourselves?

  Who can bear to take action?

  I couldn't bring myself to do it, and neither could anyone else on the team.

  "It's not contagious yet, let's find some chains and tie him up..."

  As I got to this point, I crouched down and was about to help him with his wound when suddenly a gunshot rang out. A burst of blood splattered everywhere, and I felt something warm on my face. I opened my eyes.

  Da Hei's head was covered in blood, and he fell to one side. Huang Da Xian glanced at him and coldly said, "It's good that you're dead now, there won't be any suffering."

  Everyone who saw it sighed, I sat on the sand, with red eyes, my gaze tightly locked onto the big black corpse, suddenly, I saw his neck floating, his mouth slightly moving, as if he was saying something.

  I noticed his eyes, and saw that Big Black looked at me with one eye, as if wanting to say something, but then flashed a fearful gaze, his body shook twice, his hand seemed to want to lift up, his throat made a gurgling sound, looking at me, and making a gurgling sound as if he wanted to speak.

  Is he trying to tell me something? What is he going to say, afraid? Is he going to say that he's afraid of death? No way, at this time it shouldn't be said that one is afraid because he has already died.

  I shifted his body slightly, and suddenly I saw under his hand, a faint character slipped into my eyes.

  For a moment, I shook my body and the tears in my eyes could no longer be held back.

  "Run", Big Black should mean let me run away, why do I want to run, why do I want to escape, what makes me want to escape? I asked myself countless times in my head if it was letting me "run", but that gaze, that expression, the look of fear, wanting to say something but unable to, made me fall into a state of panic.

  Why did Dahei reveal a fearful gaze? I always feel that an invisible hand is pushing us forward, and the feeling of panic suddenly falls into a low valley.

  I reached out and wiped away the escaped word on the sand, then dug a hole with Yu Gang and buried Da Hei.

  "Brother, I'm sorry for what happened. May you have a safe journey and may we be spared from harm." Yu Gang said with a sorrowful face, staring at the sand below, his eyes filled with fear.

  No one had expected things would turn out this way.

  Yu Gang said, "Big Black Brother did this to save me. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would have been torn apart already. Our two lives were exchanged for his life, so I won't let him die unjustly."

  In an instant, Yu Gang's eyes changed, flashing a hint of determination that was hard to detect.

  "What did you want to say?" I asked in a hoarse voice.

  "I want to figure out what's going on, what they're trying to do. They don't even care that so many people have died, is whatever is in the box really that important?" He gritted his teeth in agony.

  I moved my mouth, originally wanting to tell him about my plan to escape, but now it's completely unnecessary.

  I'm not going to run away either. If this is my fate, then I'll accept it with dignity, whether it's death or survival. At least I didn't flee.

  Something like this happened, except for Yu Gang, who slept well, everyone else didn't dare to sleep, they were all staring at the outside with their eyes wide open, some even holding guns in their hands, ready at any time.

  And I, opening my eyes in fear, looked ahead, my heart uneasy, those non-human monsters were apparently not afraid of bullets.

  In the desert that was about to dawn, the cold wind whizzed and invaded my body. I had been running around for days, tired and exhausted, plus the fright I received tonight, I still couldn't hold back my sleepiness and fell asleep.

  I don't know how long I had slept, but I suddenly woke up and felt that they were all still sleeping. Far away, I saw a small old man with a pale face and short stature, who was leaning on a huge mound, stretching out half of his body, with a frightened and terrified expression, waving his hands towards the front while shouting in a hoarse voice: "Run quickly, run quickly, or you will lose your life!"

  My feet kept moving, running forward non-stop, getting closer and closer until I was near the old man.

  The old man turned around, his face etched with the bloody word "death", so vivid, he was chuckling to himself: You will all die...

  Just as he was about to grab my shoulder, I suddenly pushed him away and turned around to run desperately.

  My speed is very fast, but that old man's speed is even faster than mine. He jumped out and blocked my way, grinning at me with a strange smile that sent chills down my spine.

  When I saw him blocking my way, I quickly turned around and ran in another direction. But the little old man seemed to know that I wanted to escape, and in the next second, he appeared right in front of me again, scaring me so much that I sat down on the ground directly. At that time, I didn't even have the idea of dodging or hiding, let alone running away from him.

  The little old man bent down and stared at me, stretched out his hand to tightly pinch my neck, and opened his mouth to bite towards my neck.

  "Ah..."

  "Damn it, Chen Yuexiang, wake up quickly..."

  Bang bang bang, a sharp pain on my face, I suddenly sat up, my heart racing wildly, gasping for air.

  Too scary.

  Too weird.

  Yu Gang rubbed his hands together, let out a cold laugh and said: "You little brat, must you? It was just a dream, yet you're making such a big fuss about it, shouting as if someone had forced themselves on you."

  I waved at him and cursed: "Where it's cool to roll, only I am stronger than others."

  After walking out of the tent, the temperature was much warmer. I saw Tang Guangze and Huang Daxian, both of whom looked like they hadn't slept all night, with bloodshot eyes and a sudden aged appearance, with stubble on their chins.

  Huang Daxian saw me and met my gaze, I hastily lowered my head and returned to the car.

  I filled my stomach in the car, and when I looked out, I unexpectedly saw that Yu Gang was arguing with Lin Wu Xuan. Lin Wu Xuan's face was cold, his eyes staring at Yu Gang, he said a sentence, but then Yu Gang's face suddenly fell.

  What did Lin Wu Xuan say? Yu Gang's face suddenly turned ugly.
