Chapter 11 World One: World One: the Stronger in the End-time World (8)
Ding Yao jumped from the wall in an agile way. He walked up to Han Yanyan and squatted down and looked at her hands. Her palms were covered with a thin layer of translucent ice, which may be seen her red meat and white bone indistinctly.
Ding Yao nodded, “Nothing.”
With that, he stood up to pick up the machete. The machete disappeared when his Fingertip touched its blade point. At the same time, Han Yanyan remembered that she had not only a thunder power but also a space power.
Ding Yao put that man’s backpack, Han Yanyan’s backpack and the storage bag into his space, and then when he turned back, he found Han Yanyan had stood up wobbly by the flowerbed beside the steps. Ding Yao looked at her and said, “Let’s go.”
Han Yanyan nodded. Then Ding Yao walked ahead, but he heard a sound behind him without two steps. So he turned around and found that Han Yanyan sat on the ground again.
She had legs softened.
“First kill?” asked Ding Yao. He did not expect to kill a person like this, because he had seen her killing the zombies in a very fierce way, and she was not timid.
Han Yanyan’s face was as pale as paper and nodded.
“Just get used to it.” Ding Yao said, extending his hand to her.
Han Yanyan stretched out her hand, then Ding Yao held her by the wrist and pulled her up with his hand which was as strong as an iron tong. Han Yanyan also wanted to help him, but Ding Yao had bent down to catch her, getting up and carrying her.
Han Yanyan caught off guard with his head down, so she exclaimed in surprise, and immediately covered her mouth.
When the two zombies heard the sound, they wandered this way, then they were split by two purple thunderbolts and smashed into charred dregs on the ground. Han Yanyan calmed down.
With him, she felt security was not a problem.
It was almost time to gather when the sun was sloping. Ding Yao carried Han Yanyan and made a big stride in the direction of the fleet. It turned out Han Yanyan looked at the ground and quickly back away. After a while, she became dizzy and closed her eyes.
She had been thinking about Ding Yao’s words, “Just get used to it.” Can she get used to killing people? Did Ding Yao kill many people?
“Mr. Ding.” She suddenly opened her eyes and asked, “Why did the man kill me? ”
“You’ve got a lot to gain. Let me meet, also want to cut a beard.” Ding Yao said carelessly.
That’s it. That’s the simple reason to kill. Han Yanyan smiled bitterly because she found that she was a fool in this world, and before that, she felt that she was enjoying the world.
Ding Yao suddenly said: “Your combat consciousness is very good.” As if he known her frustration.
This sentence was indescribable, but he was really praising her. And it also let Han Yanyan understand that Ding Yao at least saw the whole fight between her and the man.
He didn’t help her and just looked at her.
Maybe it was because he was so confident that he could save her in the most critical circumstances. Or maybe it was because it didn’t matter to him whether she would be dead or alive. Of course, the bigger possibility was that he took a fancy to her but he didn’t force her, because he thought it was more interesting to tame her as a wild horse.
She preferred the latter. Because the man was on her side, but he just stood by and let her go through this suffering.
It was not comfortable to be carried on his shoulder. She was not only dizziness, but also felt upset because her stomach was hit again and again. In this turbulence, Han Yanyan’s panic of killing people for the first time gradually disappeared, and she recovered her calmness.
She looked up, only to see Ding Yao’s broad shoulders.
Nice. Although things have little twists and turns, they have unexpectedly developed in a good direction. Ding Yao had been staring at her all the time, which shown that he was really interested in her. And this unexpected twists and turns also gave the “stubborn girl” a step down.
Next, whatever got stronger or not, let she be free. The two things can’t have the order reversed. Because She didn’t come to the world to survive here, she did it to attack and seize Ding Yao.
Only getting Ding Yao down could she who lived in the real world survive.
Ding Yao had a vary fast speed without affected by carrying a large living man, and they returned to the fleet for a while.
“Lijun, come and cure her.” Ding Yao carried Han Yanyan and strode directly to his SUV, opening the back door and stuffing her in.
Sun Lijun trotted over and looked, “Ouch, what’s wrong with her? Who did it? ”
It did by human, not by a zombie, according the wound. Whether it was trying to rape or wanted to rob, this man did to Ding boss’s woman, probably now he had gone to dead. Sun Lijun observed a second of silence for the man.
Han Yanyan once again led Sun Lijun’s niubility. The wound which laid open to the bone healed in just a moment, leaving no scars. She looked at the smooth palms of both hands and took a long breath.
Ding Yao sat in his co-pilot’s seat and threw over two dresses, “Change it.”
Han Yanyan’s clothes were soaked in blood, and the smell of blood will lead to zombies.
Han Yanyan hugged the clothes and looked at Ding Yao.
Sun Lijun walked away with a meaningful glance, waved his hand and took away the two team members beside the car. There was no one near the SUV, Han Yanyan hiding in the back of the car to change the clothes, and no one can see that.
But Ding Yao could see this.
Ding Yao’s eyes appeared in the rear-view mirror, and he also looked at Han Yanyan.
Han Yanyan looked at the eyes silently for a second, leaning slightly, lifting her hand to take off the T-shirt stained with blood.
Ding Yao looked in the rear-view mirror. He saw that her thin shoulders and slender waist were hidden in the dark carriage, and her skin was shining. The girl’s eyes were drooping and her expression was stoic, which made the man feel happy.
She took a good measure and Ding Yao lowered his head and lit a cigarette.
Han Yanyan quickly changed her blood-stained trousers into a ball, “This… ”
Ding Yao bit the smoke, got the blood clothes with a backhand, and then put those into his space. Next, he pulled back his hand and pressed the horn, so the driver ran over and pulled the door open and got into the car.
Han Yanyan wanted to talk but stop. Ding Yao saw that from the rear-view mirror, his finger caught the cigarette and he said to her, “you take this car.”
Then Han Yanyan was quiet.
The sun was slanting westward, and the fleet had reached its scheduled departure time.
Most of the searchers were back, but a few didn’t come back, who may be dying in the mouth of a zombie or under a companion. The fleet waited a little longer, and then set out without a shadow of a few people.
No one got on Ding Yao’s car again. Han Yanyan occupied the back seat alone and simply lay down to rest. A deadly fight, though not long, almost exhausted her physical strength. Physical strength was still in the second place. What’s more, Han Yanyan felt mentally indescribable fatigue.
She could see Ding Yao’s side face while she was lying in the back seat, her head on the driving side, but the light was too dark to see the details clearly. Only a silhouette was seen. The bridge of the nose was straight and the line of the jaw was firm. Occasionally, he turned his head and thrown a glance at her. His eyes were deep and bright, which made her breath stagnant.
The man… Was she capable of making him fall in love with her? Han Yanyan slightly felt shaken.
She lay in the back, listening to Ding Yao spoke in a low voice with the driver. The team’s destination was a factory on the outskirts of the Yihai City, about how many kilometers, how long it will take. Meanwhile, Han Yanyan unconsciously fell asleep.
She woke up suddenly as the car stopped. It was dark outside and the lights were on the fleet. The car stopped and the roar of the engine quieted down. She sat up and noticed that the convoy was out of town, surrounded by buildings that looked shadowy and modest, like factories.
This place was really an industrial zone. She remembered listening to Ding Yao and the driver on the way. The purpose of their visit was the machine tool in the factory.
“You stay in the car. ” Ding Yao said to Han Yanyan, and he said to the driver, “You look at her.”
The driver nodded and didn’t get off. Ding Yao got off the car alone.
Han Yanyan saw through the window that the Thunder team members were assembling, but the search team were all left on the truck, which had an iron cage to protect them.
“What are they doing? ” Han Yanyan asked.
The driver replied, ”Clear the site.” He looked at her and comforted her, said, “Don’t worry, the boss will lead the team.”
Han Yanyan didn’t know why the man could know she was worried. Before yesterday she was able to maintain an independent self, today when Ding Yao carried her back, it seemed that he had declared his sovereignty. Maybe She was already a woman of Ding Yao in those guy’s eyes.
She shut her mouth and watched in silence.
Ding Yao took the players into the dark factory.
Soon there were all sorts of noises, with the screams of zombies and the sound of gunfire and explosions. those voices faint, but cannot stop into the ears in dozens of meters away and across the factory walls and houses.
There was a violent sound in the middle, and then it fell silent. After a while, the factory suddenly shone brightly.
“Look, it’s fine. They found the backup power.” The driver said, lighting a cigarette, was not very worried.
But Han Yanyan always felt that the screams of those zombies were especially terrible, not quite the same as what she saw during the day. The driver listened for a moment and said, “Shit, there are at least three mutant zombies… No, four! ”
The driver was a plain-looking middle-aged man. Han Yanyan looked at the back of his head and thought he must have a story.
Everyone had stories, and the stories of all people were intertwined and constituted the world. Because Qi Tongtong also had a story, Zhao Yuxuan also had. Sun Lijun and Lao Zhang were both people with stories.
Han Yanyan thought that what she had to do in the world was to make up the story of her and Ding Yao to make “the electronic sound” satisfied.
They took more than two hours of the entire clearing process. Finally, a team member came out of the inside, opened the gate of the factory completely, and made a gesture.
The motorcade which parked in the open space, drove the car into the factory one by one in order, and then the search team got off. Someone from the team came over and said, “Tomorrow you’ll have to work, and that’s it today. Find your own place to rest in the dormitory. ”
There was a four-story building next to the factory building, which was what the man said was the dormitory. Under the lead of team member, the searchers went upstairs looking for a room to sleep in.
Han Yanyan did not follow the crowd, standing in there for a moment, Ding Yao’s driver with the intercom trot over, “the boss called you.”
Han Yanyan followed him into the dormitory building and up the fourth floor. The dormitory was like a college dormitory. The rooms were full of double beds with iron frames. Some open rooms can have 20 or 30 people.
Han Yanyan also saw Sun Lijun in the corridor to heal others. The injured man bared his teeth and scolded while shouting pain, “Fuck, these zombies was locked in the factory by human. Gnawing at each other, people raised more than a dozen mutant zombies, which was like the cultivation of the evil, really fucking alive! ”
Han Yanyan has seen this kind of plot in many zombies novels in the past. but she felt cold when she thought of those roars in really live.
The rooms on the fourth floor were not the same as those on the downstairs. From the open doors, they were all formal rooms with Simmons bed, tables and chairs, which should be the dormitory for the management of the factory.
Ding Yao picked the one at the end of the corridor.
“I have a meeting, there’s a meal in the room, you eat it yourself,” said Ding Yao, “Stay here today.”
He said, glanced at her and went downstairs.
Han Yanyan got into the room. It was a simple single room with a double bed with clean sheets, which should be brought by Ding Yao in his space. And there was a desk at the head of the bed with a lunch box. Han Yanyan opened the lunch box with four steamed buns inside. There was also an opened can of meat on the desk.
Han Yanyan knew that she was going to sleep in this room with Ding Yao tonight.
She grabbed the steamed buns and took a big bite.
