Chapter 80 - Warm Corpse 18
Chapter 80 - Warm Corpse 18
The moon is still far away in the sky, and it looks at everything under the moonlight gently but indifferently.
Qin Lang pressed his hand against Ling Liang’s chest into a fist, and finally made up his mind and said, “Ling Liang…I don’t want you to die with me, I want you to live, and I will let you live!”
Ling Liang’s body froze. They grew up together since childhood, Ling Liang understood what Qin Lang meant by saying this almost immediately.
He grabbed Qin Lang’s shoulder and looked at Qin Lang. His red eyes made him look like the one who was infected instead. His tone sounded a bit fierce: “Don’t think about doing that, I don’t agree!”
Qin Lang pursed his lips. There was a fine sweat on his forehead, “Ling Liang, it hurts…”
Hearing this, Ling Liang hurriedly loosened his strength, put on Qin Lang’s clothes, and embraced Qin Lang again. Sitting on the sofa in his arms, his chest was pressed against Qin Lang’s slightly cool back, feeling his heartbeat.
The injured arm and the warm body behind him made Qin Lang laugh softly, which seemed both painful and comfortable. He whispered, “Ling Liang, let’s continue…This kind of thing can’t be done halfway.”
Qin Lang turned to look at Ling Liang, Ling Liang hurriedly suppressed the emotion in his eyes, but Qin Lang caught his extremely painful gazes.
Qin Lang turned around and sat on Ling Liang’s lap, leaning his head on his shoulder, with a warm breath in the ear of the other party like what Ling Liang did not too long ago, and finally confessed: “Ling Liang, actually, the song at the party ‘He doesn’t understand’, I sang it for you, and on the night of the class reunion, I also deliberately got you drunk…”
Ling Liang was stunned. He wanted to see Qin Lang, but was blocked by Qin Lang’s hand. He knew that Qin Lang like to maintain his face, and even now he didn’t want him to see his embarrassment. Ling Liang couldn’t see it, but the hand on Qin Lang’s waist was tighter.
Qin Lang continued: “You are not allowed to look at me! Heaven knows how much courage it took for me to tell these stupid things… If you remember what happened that night, you should also remember that that night, I didn’t resist at all… Also, going to the amusement park, I know that you are bullying me, and I know that you like to bully me, but I am also…willing to be bullied by you.”
“You…you should know what I want to say, right?” Qin Lang raised his head and glanced at Ling Liang, in addition to the joy of mutual understanding, there was more sadness and despair, “So you should also know. I don’t want you to die, I want you to live. Is it okay to live?”
Ling Liang’s tense lips stretched into a straight line. The coldness and pride of the past could no longer be seen in those eyes, only a deep pool, lifeless, like stagnant water.
“You said before that there will always be a way to escape. Now there is a way, you know what I mean. The zombies are evolving, and I don’t know when they will change, so hurry up, okay? In my last days here, leave me with the best memory.” Qin Lang’s eyes filled with tears, raised his head and begged his most beloved person, and gently kissed Ling Liang’s pale lips, “…Please, Ling Liang.”
[Ding, Ling Liang – favorability +5, current favorability is 95.]
Ling Liang’s lips trembled at the soft touch. Hot tears fell on Qin Lang’s face, his heart was torn to pieces, bloody, and the pain was suffocating.
Ling Liang’s hands were placed on Qin Lang’s smooth back, and the four lips were touching each other. There was no trace of sweetness, only full of bitterness.
Qin Lang asked Ling Liang to put on the jacket. He was afraid of scratching Ling Liang when he was deep in passion. In fact, Ling Liang didn’t even think about whether there were other ways of spreading the virus. He even thought that if he could be infected by Qin Lang like this, he wouldn’t need to separate from Qin Lang.
In the final parting, Ling Liang’s tears never stopped, but he never cried out. He only wipe all the tears on Qin Lang, causing Qin Lang to feel pain.
After it was over, Ling Liang helped Qin Lang clean up and put on his clothes.
Being held in Ling Liang’s arms again, the tears Qin Lang had been holding back burst. Reluctance and unwillingness, satisfaction and sadness are all vented out.
Qin Lang clenched the leather jacket Ling Liang was wearing that used to be his, and said, “Ling Liang, although it’s embarrassing, but don’t talk about it now. You may hate me when you think about it in the future, and hate me for having too good a death. You listen, I love you, I don’t remember when it started, but I must have been in love for ten years, much earlier than you loved me. So don’t fail my expectation, you know how to live?”
Ling Liang gasped with his mouth open, like a dying fish. He raised his head and looked at the semi-circular moon outside, not daring to look at the person in his arms again.
Crying and weeping, Qin Lang laughed again, “That’s right. Forgot to mention, I seem to have the same abilities as you. My eyesight is very good now, I can see the dark places downstairs very clear…”
Ling Liang closed his eyes in despair and hugged Qin Lang tightly.
“Okay, don’t be so tight.” Qin Lang tried his best to force out a smile, showing it from Ling Liang’s arms, giving him the last kiss, and then said softly, “Ling Liang, goodbye.”
His arms were empty.
Ling Liang’s vision was covered by the mist in his eyes. He wiped it with all his might, but he couldn’t wipe it clean. He could only let the thin figure run farther and farther, and finally disappeared from his sight completely.
Don’t…
As if all his strength was drained, Ling Liang leaned against the office door and slid weakly to the ground. This was probably the most embarrassing scene in his life. He instinctively wanted to chase Qin Lang out, but his body seemed to be firmly pinned to the ground and he couldn’t take a step.
Qin Lang didn’t want him to die, his life belonged to Qin Lang, and he wanted to live for Qin Lang.
However, he has clearly experienced death now. The pain of his bones being smashed inch by inch, the pain in his whole body is like being scorched by flames, and the pain of completely losing Qin Lang, which was piercing to the bone, each of which was unbearable for him.
“Ah! Damn it, my heart hurts!” Qin Lang smacked his chest and ran wildly in the museum. He asked the system to hide him directly, so the zombies could not see him for the time being.
The system sniffed and threw the paper towel ball to the side without making a sound.
Qin Lang: “…”
Qin Lang quickly arrived on the first floor. There are microphones in the front hall of the museum, which can be conveyed to every room of the museum. There is also a world map, a map of the country, and a map of K city on the small shelf next to the hall.
Qin Lang set his sight on the table, then pulled the microphone, turned on the switch, and said succinctly: “I’m Qin Lang, I’ll ride the motorcycle outside away. Listen to me, you guys come out in a minute. I’ll put the map that I find on the front desk. Take the map, get in the van and go to the right, to the base. Goodbye friends! Good luck.”
The sound of Qin Lang’s running and speaking in the museum were not blocked by the system, so now, the hall is full of zombies that he was going to led away. At first glance, it makes one scalp numb.
Qin Lang took a deep breath and asked the system to give him a paddle. That’s right, we’re going to die in a very eye-catching way! Although no one will see it.
After running down the stairs to start a fire, Qin Lang asked the system to remove the shield. The zombies in the hall immediately found Qin Lang and swarmed out. The glass doors of the museum are easily crushed.
The sound of hundreds of zombies rushing made the ground on the first floor of the museum shake to a certain extent.
A room on the second floor:
“I…I heard right? Is it brother Lang?” Xiao Fei’s expression was blank. When he recovered, tears came out of his eyes, “Wu…what did brother Lang do? Why does he do this?”
The big man beside him, Yu Chao, who slept soundly every time he slept after the virus broke out, lost his image of a tough guy, and shed tears with Xiao Fei.
Li Bin leaned against the wall and lowered his head in silence.
Security room on the first floor:
“Qin Lang? How could Qin Lang…” He Qing took a deep breath and covered her eyes in pain.
“He’s with Ling Liang.” Tang Xiaorou lowered her head, her tone was low, but her voice was trembling, “Neither of them will sacrifice indiscriminately, something must have happened…”
He and Qin Lang didn’t get along for a long time, but Zhang Mao, who has always been grateful to Qin Lang, cried out before the two girls, “he can’t come back…He can’t come back anymore…”
Yes, he won’t come back anymore. They all knew that Qin Lang would never come back. Qin Lang attracted hundreds of zombies for them, and those zombies would tear him to pieces. He really will never come back!
The hall was quiet, and the realistic wax figures in the museum lay messily on the ground, many of them broken. Although he doesn’t remember whether there are motorcycles in front of the museum, the zombies have indeed been led away by Qin Lang.
The agreed minute had passed, so the remaining six people got into the van.
Ling Liang sat in the driver’s seat, took a deep breath, his tone did not fluctuate at all: “Are you all ready?”
“All ready… When we ran in, Xiao Li was already thrown down by zombies.” Xiao Fei, who had seen that scene, held back tears.
“Let’s go then.” Ling Liang started the car.
At this moment, a zombie suddenly appeared out of nowhere and slammed into Ling Liang’s car window. Its mouth wide open, its fingernails scraping against the glass. The sound pierced all their eardrums.
The people in the car were startled, but what surprised them even more was that they saw a fireball gathered in Ling Liang’s hand. The fireball smashed the window glass, and burned the zombie outside into ashes. The whole process only took a few short seconds.
The glass piece scratches Ling Liang’s face, leaving shallow bloodstains. Under the light of the flame, that stern face seems extremely demonic.
After those few people were shocked, no one asked about this strange ability. Instead, hope was raised, and they hurriedly ask: “Where’s Qin Lang? We’re going to wait for him? Did you two plan it? He also has abilities like yours. He will come back, right?”
“No,” Ling Liang’s tone was cold, a sharp contrast to the fire he just released, “He won’t come back.”
The museum in the rearview mirror is getting farther and farther away. The curator in the museum who dared not commit suicide and tied himself failed to protect his beloved golden monkey from contracting the virus; and Ling Liang, who took refuge in the museum, failed to protect his beloved Qin Lang. In the end, they were far away from each other.
The van drives in the moonlight. The wide open window of the driver’s seat poured in the cold wind. The people in the car cannot hug each other for warmth, so they hold their comrade hand tightly with chattering teeth.
The atmosphere in the car was cold and oppressive, making it painful to breathe.
“Lingliang, can you talk?” He Qing was angry, “What the hell is going on with Qin Lang? Why does he have to sacrifice? Why don’t you react at all? Aren’t you and Qin Lang a good match? You’re not at all…”
“Senior Sister!” Tang Xiaorou interrupted her, “Don’t say it, he is sad. He is sadder than any of us, don’t talk about him.”
He Qing patted her aching head a few times and took a deep breath and looked at Tang Xiaorou. The other three boys also locked their eyes on her.
Tang Xiaorou closed her eyes and said her reason: “You are not familiar with Ling Liang, he looks like this, but in fact… I guess, Qin Lang is probably infected. He used the rest of his time and ability to propose the idea of diverting the zombies away, but Ling Liang didn’t agree, and maybe he wanted to die with Qin Lang. I can’t guess what Qin Lang said, but he persuaded Ling Liang, he rode the motorcycle alone and left…It is impossible for him to come back anymore. Therefore, Ling Liang, he is now…” Actually, he is no different from a dead person.
There was a sobbing sound in the car.
Tang Xiaorou moved her throat with difficulty and continued: “As for Qin Lang, he can come to the front desk to tell us that he is injured, and he can ride away. I think he also has an ability. Compared to me, my eyesight has only improved so he must be stronger, probably like Ling Liang just now…”
“That’s right…” Xiao Fei suddenly said, with vague hope, “Brother Lang must have an ability. Brother Liang was so powerful just now. Goddess, have you ever thought what if a person with a powerful ability is infected, will they be fine? Ah? Brother Liang! Brother Liang…”
No one said anything in the car, because no one could bear to break this bold guess, even though they knew that Qin Lang should have been swallowed by zombies by now.
But like tacit understanding, no one said it.
Ling Liang’s hand tightened on the steering wheel. Really? Is that possible? Will there be a chance?
The answer was so unreal, but he couldn’t help grasping that faint hope. However, this faint hope, after reaching the base, was shattered to nothing.
The car drove all the way north. At five o’clock, at dawn, the van finally stopped in front of the gate of the base surrounded by heavy obstacles.
