I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Chapter 24 You Lied

Facing Qin Zhong's gaze, Xiao Yingyong lowered her head and stammered, "I...I won't go. I'm going to wait here for my mother to come back."

"Your mother won't be back. It's been half a year. If she wanted to come back, she would have come back long ago. She... has almost no hope of survival."

Seeing the girl like this, Qin Zhong frowned and didn't want to lie anymore. No matter what, if she stayed here, she would almost certainly die.

Although the reality is cruel, since she is alive, she must continue to live and must face this cold reality.

Qin Zhong's blunt words made Xiao Yingyong raise her head abruptly and grit her teeth as she said, "You're lying! You just...just said my mom would come back to find me."

Sighing, Qin Zhong said helplessly, "I admit that I lied before. Are you leaving or not?"

At this moment, Xiao Yingyong's face flushed red: "You lied... I don't want to see you again."

Qin Zhong shook his head, his face full of disappointment, and said in a somewhat bleak tone: "This is your own choice, then, it's up to you."

The next moment, Qin Zhong did not stop and walked out of the snack bar quickly. He turned on the flashlight with one hand and covered most of the light with his fingers as usual. He held a knife in the other hand and groped forward in the dark passage.

After walking about ten meters, Qin Chongmeng heard footsteps behind him. He turned around subconsciously and saw two zombies turning into the snack bar.

Although the exhaust fan on the wall of the snack bar's back kitchen is not big, the sunlight that leaks in still looks quite dazzling in the dim back of the shopping mall.

The zombies seemed to be sensitive to bright light. When they saw the bright light, they walked into the snack bar almost instinctively.

Seeing this scene, Qin Zhong's face showed a conflicted expression, but after hesitating for a moment, he exhaled deeply and turned back to the snack bar.

As soon as he entered the snack bar, he heard a scream from the kitchen. Qin Zhong didn't dare to delay and rushed in immediately. He saw Xiao Yingyong holding the cabinet door tightly with both hands and kicking his feet, trying to close the door.

The two zombies that had just turned in blocked the cabinet door, and their four claws were dancing in front of Xiao Yingyong. The situation was extremely critical!

If nothing unexpected happens, it will only take a while for Xiao Yingyong to run out of energy, and then be pounced on by two zombies, and be eaten up in an instant, turning him into one of the zombies.

Seeing this, Qin Zhong didn't dare to delay. With two "swish" cuts, he killed the two zombies one by one cleanly and neatly.

Qin Zhong wiped the blood off Miao Dao with a rag and looked at Xiao Yingyong: "I also saved your life. We owe each other nothing now. Do you want to come with me? Make your own decision!"

Having said that, he paused and added, "If you don't leave, I'll really leave this time! Don't expect me to come back to save you!"

After escaping death, Xiao Yingyong's face was full of panic. After hearing Qin Zhong's words, she quickly got out of the iron cabinet. The iron cabinet was about 1.5 meters wide. Considering Xiao Yingyong's height, her legs could not be straightened when she lay down.

The two men walked out of the snack bar quickly. The creepy howling of corpses echoed one after another in the closed passage. In the darkness, it seemed that there were man-eating demons everywhere.

Qin Zhong walked in front, and Xiao Yingyong followed closely behind. The two of them passed through several passages. The light and shadow in front of them were flickering. Seven or eight zombies stood at the entrance of the passage, wandering around constantly.

Patting Xiao Yingyong on the shoulder, Qin Zhong motioned her to squat down, and he squatted down as well. He took off the crossbow from his body and took aim. With a "swoosh", he hit a zombie directly on the head, and the zombie fell down.

……

Seeing this, Xiao Yingyong's dark eyes flickered in the darkness, full of envy: "Brother Qin, you're amazing! Where did you find this bow?"

"This isn't a bow, it's a crossbow."

Qin Zhong tilted his head and smiled slightly, then said, "Want some? Go upstairs later, there are three more, take your pick!"

Upon hearing that he could also have such a powerful crossbow, Xiao Yingyong's face showed excitement, and the scene of himself shooting zombies with a crossbow emerged in his mind.

Soon, Qin Zhong cleaned up the seven or eight zombies. The two continued to move forward and slowly walked out of the passage.

As soon as he came out of the passage, he saw many zombies swaying on the circular corridor and the terrace. Qin Zhong looked around carefully. How to escape the eyes of these zombies and go back upstairs was a problem.

Although there were stairs and escalators in the circular corridor, the noise made by running up there would inevitably be seen by the zombies.

At that time, if the zombies swarmed over, although Qin Zhong was not afraid, it would still be a bit troublesome.

Qin Zhong carefully looked at the surrounding environment and thought of a solution. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of countless colorful light bulbs hanging across the sky above the skylight. They should have been used for the night decoration of the shopping mall.

Seeing these light bulbs, Qin Zhong's eyes lit up. He turned his head and gave Xiao Yingyong a few instructions. Then, he aimed his crossbow at a light bulb and blew it up with a "bang".

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the zombies turned their heads to look over, Qin Zhong and Xiao Yingyong immediately took action. They bent down and ran into the fire escape together, followed the stairs of the fire escape all the way up, and soon returned to the ninth floor.

Qin Zhong slightly pushed open the fire door on the ninth floor and saw three zombies wandering back and forth on the terrace diagonally opposite.

Although he had cleaned up the rooftop before, there was more than one passageway going up and down the mall, so it was not surprising that zombies were wandering up there.

He had discovered this problem before when he was cleaning the roof, but because there were not many zombies wandering up, Qin Zhong usually solved the problem easily.

Although, if we can stop them from coming up, it will be a real permanent solution, but in reality it is not easy to achieve.

Looking through the gap at the scene outside, Xiao Yingyong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Qin, why don't you block the stairs? These guys won't be able to come up."

"look."

Qin Zhong looked helpless as he pointed at the seven or eight meter wide staircase not far away. "It's so wide...how can it be blocked? Besides, there's more than one staircase leading to the ninth floor."

Soon, Qin Zhong killed the three zombies cleanly and neatly, then led Xiao Yingyong to the roast duck restaurant, dragged out a snakeskin bag from a hidden place, took out three other crossbows, and gave them to Xiao Yingyong to choose from.

Although girls don't like weapons by nature, Xiao Yingyong is not pretentious. She knows that in order to find her mother, she must survive first.

In order to survive, one must have the ability to protect oneself. However, girls are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and bows and crossbows with long-range attack capabilities are undoubtedly the best weapons.

Soon, Xiao Yingyong picked out a crossbow. Sun Xiaoyan was well prepared. In addition to the steel balls that Qin Zhong was using now, he also had a lot of crossbow arrows.

After Xiao Yingyong made his choice, he picked up a crossbow and looked at Qin Zhong, a little embarrassed, "Brother Qin, how do I put this on?"

Qin Zhong took the crossbow and arrows and looked at Xiao Yingyong seriously. "Xiaoying, this thing is quite powerful. We're going to fight the zombies together later. You have to promise me that you will never point the crossbow at me."

I thought that the child was clumsy and didn't know the seriousness of the situation, so he accidentally shot me with an arrow during the fight.

After hearing what Qin Zhong said, Xiao Yingyong nodded vigorously without hesitation and promised, "Brother Qin, I promise!"
