Throwing down the rocket launcher in his hand, Lei Cheng silently turned the warrant officer's body over. His legs were almost crushed into a thin piece of meat paper. Together with the organs at his waist, they turned into a pile of rotten meat mixed with bone fragments and bloody blood.

The warrant officer was unable to speak. The severe pain and the rapid loss of physical functions made him only useless actions before his death. Despite this, Lei Cheng still saw the meaning it represented from the shape of his lips and the trembling gestures.

"Go away from here. Go to the base to the south. It will be safer there."

No one could survive such serious injuries. A few minutes later, as a mouthful of blood pouring out from the ruptured lungs, the Warrant Officer's eyes also lost the light of his life forever.

At some point, a crowd had gathered behind Lei Cheng. They were all survivors who escaped scattered by the giant attack. No one spoke, as if nothing was worthy of their attention except for the bloody corpse of the warrant officer in Lei Cheng's hand.

A small shallow pit was dug out with a trainee shovel. The body was put in, and then a pointed mound was piled up...

Lian Lei Chengdu couldn't explain why he did this. He really saw too much death and killing. Since his girlfriend died, he even felt that he had no feelings for him. Apart from the necessary actions required for survival, the life and death of other people had nothing to do with him.

Perhaps, just as the teacher who taught himself psychology said: human emotions are always something that cannot be explained by science!

Perhaps affected by Lei Cheng's actions, the people standing behind him gathered the corpses scattered around one by one. After burying them, they returned to the warrant officer's grave and silently looked at Lei Cheng standing there.

"What should we do?"

A timid voice sounded from behind him. When he turned around, he was a boy about sixteen or seven years old.

"Leave here." Lei Cheng took a deep breath and asked coldly: "It's not safe here. Staying here can only be death."

"Can you take us with you?" A middle-aged man with eyes stood up separate from the crowd.

"Take you with me?" Lei Cheng felt a little funny. He was just a 21-year-old junior, but when he heard the other party's tone in a panic, he seemed to have regarded himself as the only leader.

"You are better than us." The middle-aged man carried the assault rifle on his shoulder awkwardly: "We all saw it. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid everyone here would have died..."

Strength is, in many cases, a symbol of power. What's more, being able to walk out of a city where monsters are rampant and kill the terrifying and powerful Cyclops, such a young man has the full qualification to lead others.

Since everyone thinks this way, Lei Cheng doesn't say much. No matter how strong a person is, he cannot compare to the power of two or more people. He understands this principle.

There are twenty-two people who survived from the giants. Fortunately, there are no serious injuries among them.

"Now, I divide everyone into five four-person teams. Everyone goes to collect weapons and food separately. The remaining two people are in a group with me, and go to gather the women and children in the basement. They set off in two hours."

There is a small small door next to the weapon warehouse. This is the shelter for women.

Lei Cheng's appearance surprised the people gathered here, and the transfer orders issued from him also made them feel even more nervous and uneasy. However, they didn't know that this young man who looked a little cold on the outside actually felt exactly the same as himself. There were even some anxiety and worries in it.

There are 124 people. Not only are there more than twenty children aged only seven or eight years old, but there are even two elderly people over the age of seventy.

The southern base is actually not far from here, only less than 200 kilometers away. With a normal walking speed, you can reach it in a few days at most. However, can you walk so fast under the drag of children and the elderly?

There are some things that you will never know the result without trying them. What's more, although you are powerless in aging, they are still humans.

Lei Cheng didn't say much. He just directed the people in the basement to leave here in order. He had made up his mind that if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely bring the two old men to the destination alive.

Of course, if they become a burden to the entire team when they are in danger, they will definitely kill them with their own hands without hesitation.

"Don't throw away everything except a necessary set of clothes. Everyone has to bring enough weapons and food."

This was the order issued by Lei Cheng to the women, and it also caused a lot of shock among everyone.

Almost everyone has one or two heavy boxes around them, filled with all kinds of items they cherish.

Take photos with family, various types of souvenirs, extremely expensive jewelry, bank passbooks...

"I'll say it again, throw away everything that I don't need. If anyone refuses to execute, then I can only leave her alone."

A military backpack with one person replaced the heavy suitcase. The woman who took them was desperately discovered that the backpack filled with food and bullets could no longer accommodate any extra items. They could only choose the most precious things from their own items, and put them at the bottom of the backpack with a feeling of helplessness and sorrow.

"No, you can't do this. This is my life savings, my life savings!"

A woman rushed to the suitcase she had already opened and cried bitterly. She had already squeezed the space in her backpack and squeezed, but finally she was sad to find that the remaining space could only put a few thin pieces of paper. In the suitcase she had opened, there were stacks of neatly placed banknotes.

"I won't force you, you can choose for yourself." Lei Cheng said coldly: "You can take all the money here. But don't expect someone to give you a cookie and a sip of water on the way."

He didn't speak loudly, but everyone could hear the meaning it represented.

Everyone has their own unique ideas, although at this time, personal will has to obey absolute orders. However, with the lucky luck that has always existed in the subconscious and the suspicion of the young man giving orders, many people secretly took out a large amount of supplies from their backpacks and put them in things that originally belonged to them but now have to be forced to give up.

Lei Cheng is not a fool, so he naturally knows what these people who nominally obey him are doing. But he did not stop him. In his opinion, he had already said enough. Anyone who is sober can understand the interests. Since he doesn't listen, the consequences are caused by his own fault. What's more, these people are not relatives, but because of the warrant officer, he has developed a little sense of responsibility for them. There is really no need to take care of them like the kindergarten aunt.

A few hours later, under the escort of a group of fully armed men, this escape team consisting of the elderly, weak, women and children finally left the garrison of the Fourth Militia Company.

The southern base is a logistics support point in the Kunming Military Sub-district. According to normal organization, there is a Class B infantry regiment stationed there. Starting from the current militia garrison, it must pass through multiple villages and towns built around the city before it can be reached. This is also the only feasible route to there.

In addition to the necessary alert personnel, only three newly formed combat teams were mixed between the teams, urging the women to speed up their progress. Especially the pair of old men over 70s, if there were no help from others, they would have fallen far to the end of the team a few minutes after departure.

Escape is always a matter of hardship and hardship. Buildings that collapsed due to monster attacks can be seen everywhere, and a large number of gravel bricks scattered on the streets also increase the difficulty of traveling. Especially for people who lack activities, the long journey without any means of transportation is an unimaginable nightmare.

Lei Cheng led his team to the front and had already set a distance from the team. Once any situation was discovered, they would return to merge as quickly as possible.

Women are probably the most peculiar creature in the world. Sometimes, the endurance that erupts from them is amazingly strong. Sometimes, women are synonymous with weakness in the dictionary.

Such characteristics are particularly prominent in front of men.

According to the standards, the normal weight of a military backpack should be fifteen to twenty kilograms. Such weight is actually nothing to most people. However, during long distance travel, even a weight of five kilograms will have a certain impact on people's psychology. In this way, less than an hour after the team set off, Lei Chengzhi repeatedly heard many pleas and complaints from women. The content was also very simple - asking for a rest.

"Who asked for a rest?" Lei Cheng, who returned from the head of the team, looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly and asked coldly.

"I really can't walk anymore." A woman with a nice face and looked good in care, shouted angrily: "It's been more than an hour, and there are blisters on the soles of my feet. Even if I'm escaping, I'll give us some rest!"

"Who else wants to rest?" Lei Cheng subconsciously glanced at the pair of mud-covered high-root shoes on the other party's feet, ignored it, and asked the others.

Four people made the same request. They were all young and expensive women. Lei Cheng looked at them carefully. Those women holding children in their arms and carrying big bags on their shoulders, although sweat had already oozed out of their foreheads and their faces were pale. However, they had never shouted the word "tired".

"Continue to walk, speed up, and rest in half an hour."

As he said that, Lei Cheng took out a pair of military rubber shoes from his backpack and threw it to the woman who was talking. He picked up a child about four or five years old next to him and strode forward.

"Hey! What do you mean? Stop! Stop!"

"Close your beak to me."

Lei Cheng suddenly turned around, stretched out his strong and powerful arm, and slapped the woman on the face that was chattering continuously. He ignored the fingerprint on the woman's face that was almost bleeding, and whispered viciously: "Are you going to attract all the monsters nearby? If you want to die, I can help you now. But if you want to implicate everyone here, then I will definitely throw you alone to those monsters and tear them to pieces."

In the evening, the team finally arrived at the location of a village outside the city. Like the bustling city, it was attacked by monsters. The neat houses on both sides of the street have turned into ruins. Between the broken rubble and the desolate fields, several long-decaying corpses can be seen from time to time.

The auditorium of the village office is quite spacious and is enough to accommodate all the escapees. After simply arranging the manpower to take turns to guard, Lei Cheng found a quiet corner, took out drinking water and biscuits from his backpack, broke it a little bit and put it in his mouth, and slowly started eating it.

According to normal procedures, you should first search the ruins of this village before you can lead the team to enter. However, even Lei Cheng himself couldn't explain why. There seemed to be a very strange feeling in his subconscious that it told him that it was safe here and there were no monsters.

The first time I discovered that I had this unique ability was probably a few months ago. It was from that time that Lei Cheng felt that his body seemed to gradually become stronger with the battle with the monsters. Perhaps, this is the human potential that can only be stimulated between life and death!

In terms of physical fitness alone, he couldn't even figure out how strong he was. He just knew that today, he was carrying two backpacks weighing dozens of kilograms, and still walked easily with the child in his arms...

Lei Cheng didn't eat much. After half a piece of compressed biscuit was eaten, he tied up the opening of a plastic dry food bag. He knew that half-hungry and half-full can actually stimulate various functions of the human body to reach the best state. Those cells that should have been involved in digestion can instead perform more oxygen supply and circulation. The brain reaction also avoids the inertia caused by eating too much. For humans who are always at risk, maintaining necessary vigilance is more important than anything else.

The cement floor of the auditorium was cold and hard. It was definitely not a comfortable thing to lie on it with clothes. However, the people who had been working hard for a day had no concerns about this. After a simple meal, they were exhausted and quickly fell asleep with their bulging and thick backpacks.

Sleep is the best way to relieve fatigue. What's more, you have traveled a whole day in a heavy-bearing state. Although the guards arranged outside the auditorium can take turns to rest, in the gentle and peaceful night wind, looking at the silent wilderness around you, the nerve that is always tense in the brain will involuntarily relax. Coupled with the comfortable feeling of food digestion, all of this has caused an inexplicable relief in the minds of the alert people. Of course, they must be opened at any time, staring at all abnormal eyes around, and under the squeeze of heavy eyelids, the space inside is reduced and smaller. Finally, under the joint attack of self-identity and fatigue in the heart, it is completely closed into a tight whole.

Lei Cheng's rotation duty time is in the second half of the night. Now, he must seize the time to give his brain and body a full rest.

In this way, without realizing what they were doing, civilian police officers who had not undergone strict training hugged their weapons in their arms and hugged on their respective posts, happily and dangerously entering their sleep...

Many people have had this experience: when sleeping, some tiny sounds are often regarded as part of the dream. For example, the bite of a mouse, the snoring of someone next to him, and the subconscious grinding of the teeth of a roommate... will be mixed into the part of the dream. This is actually a disguised acceptance of external information by the brain in an abnormal state of consciousness.

Lei Cheng is no exception.

I don't know when it started, but he always heard a slight chewing sound. This did not attract enough attention. After all, there were hundreds of people resting in the auditorium. Maybe someone felt hungry in the middle of the night and got up to get something to eat. Thinking of this, Lei Cheng subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist.

At 2:30, there is still half an hour before I take over the job.

"You can sleep for a while."

Lei Cheng told himself this. At the same time, he also turned over carefully and lay down in a more comfortable position. Just as he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, he unexpectedly discovered that the faint chewing sound actually came from outside the auditorium. Moreover, there were several tiny and crisp cracks that were obviously mixed in between.
