?

  Xiao Hua had already propped up the stone coffin with one hand and jumped out. Just now, he was at the bottom of the stone coffin, I didn't feel anything, but this time I fell down, my nose felt sour, and my whole face was buried in a pile of cold, greasy rags. The smell was nauseating, like corpse oil or something, and it rushed straight up my nostrils.

  I fell down, thinking that there was still a zongzi standing next to the coffin, and hurriedly got up, but I moved quickly, and the zongzi was even faster. I only felt a severe pain in my shoulders, as if I had been grasped by a pair of iron claws, weighing thousands of catties. Immediately after that, I was lifted up by this force and heavily slammed to the ground.

  I happened to be thrown next to the flashlight, which was probably the one in Old Six's hand. At this moment, it fell to the ground and became the only light source in the tomb, making everything dark and blurry.

  I suspect that all my bones were crushed, painfully reaching for the flashlight, but before I could grab it, a figure slammed over and rolled to a distance from me. It was passerby A, what's going on? Was he also attacked by the zongzi?

  I quickly went to grab a flashlight and shone it around, and when I took a look, I suddenly had the urge to jump into the river.

  One, two, three... Good heavens, three zongzi!

  One was in the southwest corner, Old Six was being forced into a desperate situation by it, running and shooting at the same time. One was right in front of me, which was the coffin I just lay on, and Xiaohua was wrestling with it. And one more, which was the one that threw passerby A over here, was now walking towards me.

  Damn it, no wonder that kid rolled and ran so far, and actually threw the zongzi all the way to my side. I glared at passerby A fiercely, but he actually hooked up the corner of his mouth, coughed, and made a please gesture with one hand.

  I'm so angry my lungs are about to burst, and just as I see the dumpling approaching, I grab the single-barreled shotgun on my body and fire at its head. This is the equipment given to me by Second Uncle. Fire one shot, stop for a moment. At this moment, I miss the small assault rifle that Xiaohua gave me so much, but unfortunately, it's already lost in some corner.

  This equipment is really rubbish, after firing a few shots, it only slowed down slightly and didn't have any effect. Seeing this situation, I gritted my teeth and hobbled towards where the pedestrian was, damn it, if we're going to die, let's die together.

  Passerby A was shocked, in the darkness, as if he saw his mouth twitching for a moment, then he made a swift movement, like a monkey jumping up, and with a loud crash, he kicked Zongzi's chest with one foot. That one kick was even more ruthless than a bullet, and Zongzi retreated several steps stiffly.

  Look at the ordinary passerby, then look at Xie Xiaojue who is almost flying on the eaves and walls. I'm about to cry... damn it, I'm indeed an ordinary person, and the inverted fight really doesn't suit me.

  At this time, passerby A said: "Idiot, I've seen dumplings being beaten to death, but I've never seen dumplings being stared to death... Cough, glare at your butt, put down the gun and shoot at his head." Although his words were unpleasant, I didn't refute him much. I immediately picked up the telescope and went to rescue Xiaohua first. Xiaohua was almost in close combat with the dumpling, sticking too close together, every time it was thrilling, although my marksmanship had improved a lot, but at this time, it was still very difficult to aim, if not careful, I would accidentally hurt him.

  At this time, Xiaohua suddenly kicked both feet on the coffin and rolled in mid-air, landing very close to Lao Liu. Xiaohua called out: "How's the cooperation?"

  Lao Liu's equipment was the best, with intense firepower, so he easily took down that zombie, almost blowing its head off. The hard shell of a zombie is said to be due to the lingering energy of the deceased person, which gets stuck in their throat. If the neck is broken or this energy is dispersed, the zombie won't rise again. I only understood the principle behind Lao Liu's method of taking down zombies after researching it later. No wonder he always pinched his neck every time.

  Lao Liu snorted, putting down his gun as he sneered coldly: "Do you have the qualifications to discuss terms with me?"

  Xiao Hua stealthily gritted her teeth and leaned towards Lao Liu, bringing the zongzi with her. Lao Liu's expression changed, and the muzzle of his gun seemed to be turning towards them. Xiao Hua wrestled with the zongzi while pulling it towards Lao Liu.

  Lao Liu saw Xiao Hua's intention, in the darkness, I only saw his gun muzzle turn around and was about to fire at Xiao Hua. My single-barreled pistol immediately went up, the sound of loading the gun was very clear. I said: "You dare!"

  Lao Liu gave a loud spit, moved the gun away, and continued firing at the zongzi.

  At this time, the dumplings on his side finally exploded and fell to the ground with a loud bang, no longer moving. Xiao Hua's had already attacked the two of them, Lao Liu cursed and didn't want to help, turned around and wanted to run, I immediately fired a shot, which happened to be on the floor in front of him, splashing up a string of sparks.

  In the darkness, Old Six rushed towards me and scolded: "You little brat, you're looking for death." Although I didn't know what connection there was between them, one thing was clear: Passerby A and Old Six were in cahoots. When Old Six was around, Second Uncle would be wary of him, even willing to abandon me to get rid of Old Six. And when Passerby A was around, Little Flower would also be tight-lipped, someone who could make both my Second Uncle and Little Flower wary at the same time must not be simple.

  And just by looking at Lao Liu's actions of pointing a gun at Xiaohua earlier, I can be sure that this person thinks he is a ruthless character who kills people without blinking. Now among the four of us, only Xiaohua and I are on the same side. No matter what my relationship with Xiaohua is or what we plan to do next, Xiaohua cannot come to any harm, otherwise heaven knows if I will be directly killed by Lao Liu and others.

  Lao Liu cursed, seemingly wanting to move his gun. I didn't even give him a chance to react, and with a loud bang, a bullet shot into his shoulder. His hand shook uncontrollably, and the gun fell to the ground. Xiao Hua was extremely quick-witted, and in this brief moment, she rolled on the spot, picked up the gun, and kicked Lao Liu flying away. She turned around and fired wildly at Zongzi, who was approaching. Just then, my neck suddenly tightened, and I heard a cold voice by my ear: "Wu Xie, you're quite bold."

  He is passerby A.

  In an instant, I couldn't breathe at all, my neck hurt badly, and the gun in my hand was easily snatched away by passerby A. Those icy gloves that had once penetrated through the Mao Ball brothers were tightly clamped around my neck, and with just a bit of force, their sharp tips would pierce several holes into my neck.

  I took a difficult look, and the zongzi of passerby A was also twisted by him, with its throat area rotten into a piece. Just thinking that his hand had been inserted into the neck of the zongzi made my body break out in goosebumps layer by layer.

  At this time, Xiaohua's rice dumpling was also exploded by him and fell to the ground motionless.

  Right after that, a light flashed on, it was a small lantern called "Wolf's Eye" carried by Xiaohua, the whole tomb chamber lit up instantly.

  Lao Liu's shoulder wound was still bleeding, his eyes were cold and staring at me, the corner of his mouth hooked a cold smile.

  I was almost suffocated, and I couldn't help but grab the hand of passerby A. His five fingers indeed loosened a bit, and then he let go of his hand, a gun pressed against my shoulder, a hook at the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "My subordinate is injured, so you have to pay me back." I hadn't understood the meaning of this sentence yet, when I heard a loud gunshot by my ear, followed by a severe pain on my shoulder, and a bright red blood splattered out, gradually reaching passerby A's completely expressionless mouth.

  Xiao Hua shouted: "Wu Xie!"

  I suddenly felt a little dizzy, covering my shoulders, and a sharp pain came from my shoulders, the pain was so severe that my brain nerves were twitching, but I felt empty in my heart, as if my whole soul had been sucked out.

  Since the fall of Dongdu, I have seen many struggles for power and many life-and-death separations. They either died from gunfire, or from natural environments, or were killed by zombies. But I had never seen humans killing each other, even when following Chen Pi Ah Si that one time, their guns were only fired at zombies. This time, however, it was a standoff between humans.

  I never thought I'd kill someone, shoot at another legitimate human being. I've also thought about dying in a fight, dying at the hands of various monsters, but I never thought I'd die from someone else's gunshot.

  Gunshot, it's a bit far-fetched for me, like something that would only happen in a TV drama.

  I knew passerby A had an ulterior motive, I knew he was a ruthless character, but have to admit, we once went through thick and thin together, even saved each other's lives. When he fainted, I didn't abandon him, I carried him step by step into the cave. I thought his cold-blooded personality wouldn't allow us to be friends, who would have known... now I realize how ridiculous I am.

  If I missed that shot at Lao Liu and hit his heart instead, then is this bullet also in my heart now?

  Chubby said it's right, I'm indeed too naive.

  Passerby A's mouth corner was very cold, without a hint of an arc, he single-handedly held the gun pointing at my forehead, slightly raised his chin, and with his face hidden behind glasses, his expression couldn't be seen. He said to Xiaohua: "Do you think... I need to cooperate with you?"

  Xiaohua said: "Now we have no choice, you really control many people, but what you want to find... only he can take you to the end." Xiaohua said finally, looking at me with her eyes.

  Passerby A slightly tilted his head and said lightly, "Him? I did consider that when I called him up, but... he doesn't seem to be of much use." Called me up? Could it be... that Xiaohua had planned everything out beforehand, including the time she took me to Qinghai and showed me Old Lady Huo's notes?

  I suddenly felt a chill, this coldness was bone-chilling, even my heart was frozen.

  What's more terrifying than ghosts and gods is the human heart.

  Xiao Hua had relaxed her expression and smiled, saying: "No use? Heh heh, his usefulness is great."

  Passerby A said calmly: "Oh? Tell me about it."

  Xiao Hua smiled and said: "Because... he is the closest person to the ultimate."

  The gun pointing at my forehead was lowered, and passerby A said faintly, "Let's hope so." Xiaohua immediately ran over, furrowed her brow and said, "I'll help you take out the bullet."

  "It's fine." I heard my own voice sounding stiff and cold, had I also become a rice dumpling?

  Xiao Hua was silent for a while, just then I heard a sound of bones rubbing against each other by my ear, the voice in the skeleton, is a living corpse.

  I suddenly lifted my head, clutching the wound on my shoulder, and said faintly: "There's a zongzi coming." Xiaohua's expression changed, and indeed, at some point, another zongzi came out of the ear room. The face of that zongzi instantly made me feel like I was in an ice cellar.
