Chapter 58 Iron Lung: Xu Rulin
It's very cold at night and no moonlight!
In theory, the "wailing" meaning is the strongest moment in the cold wind.
Even Zhang Zimin, whose humanity is declining now, is vaguely creepy. When I recall it, it feels like the first time I was a child playing with Resident Evil in the dead of night.
The terrain is not complicated and is a region that has been passed by repeatedly.
Then even if there is no moonlight, Zhang Zimin can still see it now.
Zombies are very inactive at night, with a small range of activities, and are slower, which is beneficial. However, in order not to cause any movement, Zhang Zimin cannot walk on the roof of the car in the middle of the street. He must take risks in the dark and move forward from the sidewalk.
The key is that the zombies retained some habits in front of them, and no one liked to stand in the middle of the street during their lifetime, so there was no movement at night. After the range of activities was greatly reduced, almost all of them gathered among the sidewalk obstacles.
You can move forward at half a speed during the day, but in order to keep the "command" silent on this evening, you can only take a slow move, quickly judge the zombie situation, and look forward to the next step of the landing point, and suddenly accelerate to penetrate through their bodies.
Once there are variables, they may be quickly close to their bodies and cannot scream.
In fact, so far, Zhang Zimin has made two mistakes in interweaving and was close to them.
Because Zhang Zimin is not Kunlan, he can see something clearly but is just a rough idea. If he finds something that will sound before he falls, he will sweat all over and make temporary adjustments. This is how the thrilling danger occurs.
Fortunately, the more courageous he practiced, he became more and more skillful, and he adapted to the rhythm very quickly. When it was just past zero, Zhang Zimin was less than 100 meters away from the main road intersection.
Needless to ask, the Berets are probably in this area.
In addition, Zhang Zimin felt a little, just that familiar sense of danger.
It should be not far away from nearby, that is, in the main road visible in front.
"It must be killed!"
Since the risk has come out, Zhang Zimin's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and while thinking in his heart, he is moving forward more cautiously.
Although it is brave enough, it cannot be brainless. The purpose of this trip is to kill monsters and rescue others, rather than turn commandos into monster food. This is a tactical principle.
At about the same time, there was a large group of corpses not far ahead, with about thirty zombies blocking the road, and it was difficult to cross without any movement.
So Zhang Zimin began to wait, waiting for it to create movement first, and then use its own movement to cover up Zhang Zimin's breakout. This is the legendary Xu Rulin's state!
There is no scream yet. In addition to the howling cold wind, it is also the most challenging time to be patient and quiet.
"This bastard must be killed!"
As he waited, he became more and more creepy, Zhang Zimin kept fooling himself in his heart.
After all, there is some movement, even if the breathing and heartbeat are moving. Now, perhaps it has attracted the attention of "it", so Zhang Zimin's nerves are even tense. The extreme dangerous feeling seems to be approaching his own side?
This is not the feeling of being persecuted. After so long adaptation, Zhang Zimin is very sure: this is a new sense after the catastrophe.
The sense of smell also changed. Zhang Zimin suddenly smelled the fishy smell, which was indescribable. He had never smelled it before, and it was like some very alternative protein smell.
This means, it's getting closer!
I don’t know what will happen, but just like doing a submarine warfare in the depths of the dark sea, Zhang Zimin decisively turned off the active sonar (hold his breath and close his eyes).
Now, we only rely on passive sonar (ears) to perceive the surrounding environment.
Just when Zhang Zimin held his breath and closed his eyes, the messy workshop happened to face the gap in Zhang Zimin's face, and a pair of blood-red eyes with no emotion flashed through.
Zhang Zimin couldn't see it. After holding his breath, he couldn't feel the strongest moment of the "fishy smell". But through hearing, Zhang Zimin was very nervous and knew that the danger was at the closest distance.
The pair of blood-red and surprisingly large eyes stayed on Zhang Zimin for about two seconds, and disappeared again.
But that dangerous feeling is still very close.
Continuing Xu Rulin's state, Zhang Zimin did not move, did not breathe, and thought nothing, his mind was blank.
The brain's oxygen consumption occupies a large part of the body. Once the mind becomes active, the symptoms of hypoxia will occur if the breath is less than a minute.
In the past, when he was in the swimming team, his swimming score was not good and he was in the middle. However, Zhang Zimin had the nickname "Iron Lung" in the swimming team, which means that Zhang Zimin could control his thinking activity to a certain extent, and then held his breath for more than seven minutes in deep water of two meters, and his heartbeat was controlled below 30 per minute.
This is how the nickname of Iron Lung comes from. It’s okay to say that this is a primary special function. But in fact, this is an alternative "control" of the body, and it also belongs to the control of emotional thinking...
It lasted for about five minutes. I don’t know when it will end, but Zhang Zimin has developed hypoxia.
After all, this is a creepy "submarine warfare", not a swimming pool monitored by teammates and team doctors. So even if you can control your mind, your whole body is actually nervous and you are in a time when your ability cannot be displayed due to the environment.
Just when Zhang Zimin was about to be unable to hold on, there was movement and human movement in the distance diagonally opposite the main road.
It was like someone who was denied his courage and began to escape, causing chaos.
Boom Boom Boom -
Then there was a huge noise, as if the unmanned vehicles in the main road were directly knocked away.
Accompanied by the sound of glass shattering!
These mean that this powerful monster is chasing over there.
Zhang Zimin seized the opportunity to open his eyes, took a deep breath, and saw a vaguely human-shaped shadow jumping onto the roof of the car in the distance. It half-squatted and jumped. While the glass of the car broke, the huge shadow came to an air about four meters high, taking a parabolic form to fly to the opposite side of the main road.
Basically, this situation is exposed to death. Zhang Zimin is not in a hurry to rescue the person who caused the noise. Instead, he uses the huge noise caused by the monster to jump from the roof of the car almost at the same time and crosses the zombie group that was blocked nearby.
Then, taking advantage of the huge movement of the monster running, Zhang Zimin quickly advanced from the messy workshop, following the monster like a shadow.
This is the "fitting" tactic that Zhang Zimin has studied since he was a child. The most dangerous thing is not necessary to stay away from it. Keeping close to the tactics is sometimes safe. For example, if you encounter a knife-holding gangster, it is uncontrollable after separation, but if you can "fit" his knife and the physical fitness difference is not large, there will basically be no big mistake.
"It's coming, it's coming! Save me... Save me quickly!"
Listening to the sound, the man running like a betrayed dog on the sidewalk opposite was Ye Lin, the one who claimed to be trying to get shoelaces for Zhang Zimin.
Zhang Zimin breathed a little relieved. If he was destined to sacrifice one person to further observe the monster's characteristics, then the death of this guy is the least heartbreaking thing.
