In the scorching summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, and at noon the next day, a round of scorching sun scorched the asphalt road as hot as it was about to melt.

They arrived on the outskirts of s city.

"What's going on?" Zhang Min muttered as he took off his sunglasses.

In front of him was the dilapidated toll station. Zhang Min got out of the car, and many people rushed out of the toll station. Everyone shouted in fear. Seeing the posture, they seemed to come over to grab the car. Get off the highway.

"Brother Wang, hello, can you hear me?" Zhang Min put on his earphones and said anxiously, "Yes, we're almost there, and there are still twenty minutes' drive away. Okay, no problem, where are my sister-in-law and Xiaoshan?"

Cassia stared at the person in the distance outside the car window. As soon as Zhang Min got in the car, the person on the other side immediately stopped and watched from a distance.

"Where are the others?" Jue Ming asked.

Zhang Min didn't bother to check the surrounding environment, so he drove to the place specified on the phone, and replied, "He's not at home, it might be a little crowded later, baby, you have to sit in the back seat."

Cassia nodded understandingly, Zhang Min parked the car in the parking lot behind a two-story building, looked left and right, no one was there.

The street trees on the side of the road were wilting, the empty streets were littered with rubbish, and the overturned trash can was pushed around by the hot wind, rolling gently and making a clanging sound.

After taking the expressway, Jue Ming slept all night, but Zhang Min had not closed his eyes for forty-eight hours in a row. At this moment, he could not stop drooping his head in front of the steering wheel.

"Go to sleep." Jue Ming said.

Zhang Min nodded tiredly, turned to his side, rested on Cassia's lap, and said in a daze, "Call me when he comes."

Jue Ming hummed, staring into the distance in a daze.

The father and son were waiting for someone in the car, Cassia covered his left ear for a while, then his right ear, tilted his head to listen, raised his hand and touched Zhang Min's handsome profile - his eyebrows were twisted .

Cassia opened his adoptive father's eyebrows with his fingers and looked up.

In the distance, a group of children were walking aimlessly under the scorching sun, their hands slightly raised, and shuffled across the road. One of the little girls had her head sunken and her neck slanted in an unnatural posture.

Jue Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. The person they were waiting for was Zhang Min's business partner, Wang Bo, a middle-aged man in his early thirties. He was also a comrade-in-arms introduced by the company commander when Zhang Min was in the army. one.

Wang Bo is married with a beautiful wife and a four-year-old daughter. Zhang Min once brought Cassia to play. The couple likes Cassia very much.

Cassia also likes them very much, of course, with his character, he will not have too enthusiastic expressions. Wang Bo's daughter is close to him, and when Cassia is a guest, he will accompany her, take her to the playground, let her play, and watch him.

Cassia's travel bag is also affixed with Xiaoshan's self-adhesive sticker.

After a full three hours, Jue Ming shook Zhang Min and said, "Dad, he's here."

Zhang Min slept with dry mouth, propped himself up, looked out, and saw a middle-aged man standing by the sidewalk, it was Wang Bo.

"He's the only one?" Zhang Min had an ominous premonition: "Baby, sit in the back." Said Bi and got out of the car.

As soon as the car door was opened, the heat wave swept in immediately. Zhang Min quickly ran to his friend and found Wang Bo in a trance. He was busy holding his hand on his shoulder, and led him to the car.

Jue Ming bowed and looked out, his eyes always following him, until Zhang Min helped Wang Bo into the car, Wang Bo was exhausted and paralyzed, his face was gray, and he didn't look like a living person, and his eye sockets were sunken.

Zhang Min probed Wang Bo's forehead, touched his pulse gate again, pressed his fingers on his pulse, and pondered.

Jue Ming fetched the mineral water, and a minute later, Zhang Min said, "I have a heat stroke... Why is my pulse so slow? Drink some water."

Wang Bo nodded, and when he raised his hand to take the mineral water, the bright red flesh on his wrist turned out and was bitten into a blur. Zhang Min was startled and asked, "I was bitten by someone?"

Wang Bo breathed for a moment, and then said, "You all go, leave me alone."

Zhang Min said, "What are you talking about, what about sister-in-law and Xiaoshan?"

Wang Bo shook his head, as if he had just experienced a thrilling death battle or blow, and murmured, "I don't know."

Zhang Min said, "Xiao Shan isn't at home? Isn't my sister-in-law with you?"

Wang Bo seemed to remember something, and said hurriedly, "She... took Xiaoshan back to her parents' house."

Zhang Min frowned. Wang Bo's words were a bit out of place. Before he could think about it, Cassia brought the medicine box. Zhang Min took out the bandage and bandaged Wang Bo's injured wrist.

"I'm going to die." Wang Bo said again: "Brother, leave me alone, you run away."

Zhang Min said: "How can I ignore you?!"

Wang Bodao: "I was bitten, I'm afraid... I will spread the virus to you..."

"Don't talk about it." Zhang Min said: "You take a break. When we came here, at the toll booth on the way, the seventh hospital was injecting vaccines. We have already injected them, so I will take you back for treatment. Brother Wang, hold on."

Zhang Min glanced at Jue Ming, as if he was afraid that Jue Ming was in danger, and Jue Ming said, "It's okay, I'll take care of him."

Zhang Min nodded, Cassia and himself were vaccinated, presumably all right, so he went to the front seat to start the car, turned around and drove back to F city.

It was another long journey. Halfway through the car, the gas was almost empty. Zhang Min pulled over at a gas station, no one was there.

The convenience store was empty. Zhang Min glanced around and said, "Baby, come down for a walk and pee."

When Cassia came down, Zhang Min pulled the oil gun to refuel himself, and then ordered: "Don't go too far."

Wang Bo coughed violently in the car, and Ju Ming pulled the chain of his trousers over, and Zhang Min motioned, "I'll go see him."

Wang Bo coughed violently, and the cough was dark and dark. He opened the car door and spit out blood on the side of the road.

Zhang Min hugged him, helped him out of the car, and let him lean back against the wheel, his slender fingers slightly lifted his eyelids and observed his pupils.

Wang Bo breathed slowly and said weakly, "Xiao Shan..."

Zhang Min said, "Don't think about it, my sister-in-law and niece will be fine."

Wang Bo's face turned pale, and he said slowly, "Brother, have you seen them?"

Zhang Min asked in a low voice and nervousness: "What? Don't tell Cascade, he will be afraid."

Wang Bo glanced outside, and Cassia walked towards the convenience store.

Wang Bo asked, "Is Jueming better?"

Zhang Min nodded: "I don't have a headache now, and I love to talk. Who are the 'they' you're talking about?"

Wang Bo nodded, took out a handful from his waist, patted it in Zhang Min's hand, and said, "Beat them on the head."

Zhang Min took it and looked into Wang Bo's eyes, Wang Bo said: "It's a virus, my brother knows... People who are bitten by them will be infected and become monsters that are not human or ghosts. ."

Zhang Min took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Will it be cured any longer?"

Wang Bo shook his head, and Zhang Min said, "Brother, when I got home, I saw a lot on the way. They said it was rabies. What is the cause?"

Wang Bo said: "No, I don't know... My brother took Shanshan... to the hospital to see..."

Zhang Min's breath was immediately held.

Wang Bo said: "Once the virus strikes, it can't be cured again. The whole hospital is full of monsters who bite people... Patients, they say, these people are dead, they don't have the ability to think, they don't know anyone, their brains There is only a tiny amount of electric charge in it to keep working, and the whole body only consumes...very low calories, leaving the animal instinct, biting...eating."

Zhang Min said, "Can you still... the dead can still survive?"

Looking at the blood-red sunset on the horizon, Wang Bo murmured: "If they can't survive, even if their stomachs are torn, their intestines flow out, their hands and feet are broken, they can still struggle without pain... unless..."

Zhang Min said, "Unless what?"

Wang Bo looked at Zhang Min's eyes, his face was almost gray, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, his lips became blue and purple, and he said slowly: "Beat their heads and destroy their brains. Or twist their heads and the ends of their spines. ...cough! Cough!"

Wang Bo coughed again, and Zhang Min hurriedly supported him and said, "Because the brain also sends action commands to the limbs through the spinal neurons, so the spine has to be amputated. Is that what it means."

Wang Bo nodded while coughing. Both Zhang Min and Wang Bo are people in the pharmaceutical industry, and they know a little about Western medicine theory.

"They are no longer human." Wang Bo grabbed Zhang Min's hand and said, "We must shoot."

Jue Ming stood behind Zhang Min at some point, and looked at Wang Bo, Wang Bo said as if he was explaining his last words: "If Big Brother... becomes like this, you must... break my neck, or Shoot, you know what, bro?"

Zhang Min hurriedly said: "No, you can cure it, you must hold on, Brother Wang."

Wang Bo couldn't help laughing bitterly, rolled over and climbed into the back seat of the car.

Cassia stared at the gun in Zhang Min's hand, Zhang Min adjusted the bullet, then put it away, took Cassia's hand, and couldn't help but hold him tightly in his arms.

The two cuddled for a while in the evening, and Zhang Min said, "Are you hungry?"

Cassia nodded.

Zhang Min said, "Dad is looking for something to eat, have you seen it in the store?"

Jue Ming said: "No more."

Zhang Min said, "There's always something left, come."

Holding a gun in one hand and Cassia in the other, he entered the convenience store in the gas station. The convenience store was turned over in a mess, apparently after several waves of cleaning by passers-by, the shelves were in a mess.

A couple stopped to refuel, Zhang Min came out immediately, and protected Cassia behind him, and the two looked out.

The man pulled out the refueling gun and stared at Cassia alertly. Zhang Min said, "Hello, brother."

The man didn't answer, Zhang Min took out the cigarette from his jacket, stepped forward and said, "I want to ask something, are you from City F?"

The man remained silent and did not come to pick up the cigarette. After refueling, he stepped back. Zhang Min asked again, "Have you been vaccinated? What's the situation at the toll booth... Stop me! Otherwise, I'll shoot!"

The man never answered, Zhang Min pulled out the sex, only to hear the woman in the car screaming for life, and the man immediately raised his hands.

Zhang Min said: "I have no ill intentions, you can leave after asking."

The man said, "I'm... I'm here, but you'd better... as soon as possible, the army has passed."

Zhang Min nodded and said, "It's alright, let's go."

The man immediately ran into the car like a rabbit and drove away without a shadow.

Zhang Min put away the gun, with a complex meaning of helplessness in his eyes, and went back to the store to move things.

"Handsome." Jue Ming suddenly said.

"What?" Zhang Min asked.

"Dad handsome." Cassia smiled rarely.

Zhang Min didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but there was a hint of warmth in his heart. He smiled and said, "It's the gun guy, come on, baby, I'll give you this."

He handed a few jelly to Cassia and asked him to go back to the car. He carried a cardboard box, which was filled with some leftovers he had found in the convenience store - canned luncheon meat and beef, instant noodles, chewing gum, mineral water , Vitamin C tablets, and packs of cigarettes from a vending machine.

He stuffed the cardboard box in the trunk, took out two two-liter bottles of Nongfu Spring, raised his head and took a few sips, and asked, "Do you want to drink water, baby?"

Cassia: "?"

Zhang Min took the jar and fed him a few mouthfuls. The two washed their hands with mineral water. Zhang Min poured the cold water on his head. His short, hedgehog-like hair was wet, and even his snow-white shirt was poured almost transparent. Close to the majestic bronzed back muscles.

After wasting the two large bottles of water, Zhang Min took the oil gun, filled the can with gasoline, and put it in the car.

Cassia changed Wang Bo's dressing in the backseat. His bitten wrist was almost purple and black, and the minced meat exuded an unpleasant smell. Cassia poured hydrogen peroxide on it and made a slight noise, but Wang Bo didn't open his eyes.

Zhang Min held the steering wheel, looked back for a while, and whispered, "Baby, sit in the front."

Cassia wrapped the bandage and changed to the passenger seat. Zhang Min drove the car to the high speed and looked back at Wang Bo in the back seat from time to time.

"Dad." Jue Ming suddenly said.

Zhang Min asked in a low voice, "What?"

Jue Ming said, "I think Xiao Shan is dead."

Zhang Min swallowed. He also guessed that the inconsistency of Wang Bo's words, the look of hesitant to speak when he mentioned zombies, and the wound on his wrist... Such a low wound made him involuntarily think of Wang Bo. The scene of holding the infected little daughter and being bitten by her on the hand.

Zhang Min reached out and touched Jue Ming's head, and said, "Don't think about it, sleep for a while, and be obedient."

Wang Bo's breathing became heavier and heavier, with asthma-like chest tightness, Cassia woke up several times, and when he looked back, he felt that he was about to die of breathlessness.

Zhang Min drove very fast all the way, and it was midnight when he arrived at F City again.

The lights outside the toll booth were still on, waste paper was fluttering in the wind everywhere, and no one could hear people's voices, and there were roadblocks set up by the army before the gate. The whole road was empty, no cars coming in and no cars coming out.

In the distance, you can vaguely see someone standing in the temporary medical room, wearing a white coat.

"Brother Wang?" Zhang Min pulled over and stopped, relieved, and patted Wang Bo: "Wake up, we'll be there soon."

Jue Ming looked there suspiciously. Zhang Min got out of the car and carried Wang Bo out. Wang Bo made a vague noise and dragged his feet on the ground. Zhang Min put his hand on his shoulder and hurried to the infirmary.

Cassia raised the hand, the two pushed open the door, and Zhang Min hurried in.

He put Wang Bo on the bed outside, and entered the screen separated by a gust of wind, only to see someone clearly just now.

Cassia looked around and found that there were still unopened disposable needles in the iron box.

Cassia tore the package of the needle tube, which contained a light blue medicine. He remembered that it was the one that was injected when he came before, so he gestured at Wang Bo's arm and pushed the needle upward.

Zhang Min turned around the screen and suffocated with a sudden breath.

In front of them was a bloody corpse, and the doctor in a white coat was the one who injected them with the vaccine two days ago.

At this moment, he was leaning in front of a female corpse, grabbing her internal organs and sending them to his mouth, Zhang Min slowly took a step back, asking Cassia to withdraw.

Cassia threw the needle tube in the iron box, and made a crisp thud, Zhang Min secretly said that it was bad, and shouted: "Run!"

The zombie doctor immediately turned his head and let out a vague roar, knocking over the screen and rushing towards Zhang Min! Cassia was taken aback by surprise, knocked over the medicine rack, and turned his head, only to see a rotten face in front of him.

"Ah—!" Cassia finally shouted loudly.

Gunshots! There are four or five zombies in the infirmary! Before Zhang Min could back up, he was entangled. He overturned the screen and staggered back. There were broken and tumbling medicine bottles everywhere in the small infirmary. .

Another shot rang out, and his brain sprayed all over the wall. Zhang Min dragged Wang Bo out of the infirmary, slammed the door shut, and shouted, "Run towards the car!"

Cassia staggered, carrying Wang Bo, who was heavy and unconscious, and ran towards the car. Zhang Min held his gun, and after a while, there was a loud bang, the glass window shattered, and a zombie rushed out.

Zhang Min fired another shot, and a loud bang woke Wang Bo up.

Jue Ming dragged Wang Bo halfway, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the cry immediately cut through the night sky.

"Baby—!" Zhang Min shouted, rushing towards Cassia, only to see Wang Bo biting Cassia's shoulder, blood spurting out and splashing his face.

Zhang Minfei pounced on the mutant Wang Bo and pushed him away from Cassia. Wang Bo couldn't stop struggling, grabbed Zhang Min by the neck, overturned him to the ground, and the gun fell far away.

“啊啊啊——”张岷发狠大叫，手肘被王博一口咬住，二人都是退伍兵，王博在毫无防备的情况下成了丧尸，张岷措手不及，要将他蹬Kai, but Wang Bo was extremely strong, and the two turned around on the ground a few times.

Deafening gunshots.

Cassia gasped for breath, and shot Wang Bo in the head.

Zhang Min blankly pressed the trunk of the car and stood up staggeringly.

Both of them were bitten. Zhang Min's elbow was ripped open, and the bone was visible deep in the wound; Cassia's shoulder was bitten and the flesh was blurred, and the blood soaked his shirt.

Three hours later, under the highway from city f to city s, there was a lake.

There was a bonfire by the lake, and the car was parked not far from the fire.

Zhang Min leaned back against the wheel, held his adopted son in his arms, and glanced down at Cassia: "Does it still hurt?"

Jue Ming shook his head.

Zhang Min said: "Don't be afraid, it will be fine when the wound heals."

Cassia said: "We will all die, and we will all become monsters."

Zhang Min whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, baby, you won't become a monster."

Ju Ming said: "The doctors have also been vaccinated, and they have become monsters. The vaccines are useless."

Zhang Min was silent.

"Do you still remember." Zhang Min opened his shirt, looked at the bonfire and said, "Did Dad pick you up in the mountains the day?"

Cassia did not speak, leaning on Zhang Min's chest.

Zhang Min smiled and said: "After Dad was discharged from the army, there was no one at home, and there was no money. I went to look for medicine that day and found you, and luck began to gradually improve. There is a company, and we also bought a house. You don't need to rent a house anymore, you see, you are the one who brings good luck to Dad."

Jue Ming hummed, Zhang Min lowered his head and rubbed his forehead, and said, "We won't become monsters."

Cassia didn't answer, and put his ear against Zhang Min's left chest, listening to his thumping heartbeat.

Jue Ming said: "I'm not afraid of becoming a monster. If you change into a monster, you won't be able to find you. You change first, eat me after you change, and I'll be in your stomach."

Zhang Min smiled and said, "I ate you?"

In the darkest hour before dawn, the bonfire fades away.

Jue Ming said: "Sleepy, Dad."

Zhang Min endured the sadness and said, "Sleep meeting, I haven't slept well all the way."

Jue Ming said: "When you wake up, you will become a monster, and I will never see you again."

Zhang Min remembered those zombies wandering around, his eyes were red, and he said in a low voice, "Yeah, you can't find you if you run around, what should I do?"

Jue Ming held Zhang Min's hand tightly.

Zhang Min smiled and said, "There is a way, find a rope and tie us together."

Jue Ming smiled: "Yes, that's it."

Zhang Min pulled out the rope from under the car seat, found the clothes, and said, "Well, you look good in this one."

Cassia put on his clothes, Zhang Min tied one end of the rope around Cassia's waist, he put on a pair of camouflage military pants, and a close-fitting vest - that was Cassia's favorite, and he tied the other end of the rope. Tie it around your waist and tie it in a knot.

Thirty centimeters of rope were left between the two for movement.

After Jue Ming thought of becoming a zombie, he and Zhang Min were just a small zombie followed by a big zombie, tied with ropes aimlessly, walking in the wilderness, and couldn't help but be happy.

Zhang Min knew what Jue Ming was thinking, and was happy.

They were too sleepy to speak. Zhang Min hugged Cassia and opened the sunroof of the car. The breath of grass in the late summer and the night wind blew.

"Sword Comes"

"Don't eat me." Cassia said in a daze.

"No." Zhang Min said, "I won't eat you, baby."

The night passed, the sun was just empty, and the sun came in directly from the skylight.

Zhang Min woke up, his stomach was uncomfortably hungry, he glanced at Cassia who was sleeping in his arms, and suppressed the thought of biting him. thought in horror, this turned into a zombie?

Zhang Min looked left and right, with a splitting headache, he propped himself up, the rope moved slightly, Cassia was still asleep, and his face was white and red.

Zhang Min glanced at the car window. In the reflection, everything was as usual. He carefully untied the bandage on Jue Ming's shoulder. The wound was neither festering nor rotting. The bitten place was dry and covered with a layer of blood.

Zhang Min looked down at his arm again, the wound had already scabbed over.

Zhang Min was pressing on the wrist of Cassia, his pulse was steady, and there was no sign of Wang Bo's sudden illness that day.

A beam of light poured in from the sunroof on the roof, cicadas chirped outside, and it was a new day.
