human journey

Chapter 247
But during the escape, Charlie didn't have time to understand the details of his awakening ability, so he ran to the police station first.

For the current Charlie, the remaining distance could be completed in less than a minute. The sporadic zombies did not pose a threat to him, and he was easily thrown away.

All kinds of scrapped cars along the way, Charlie no longer detoured, and could jump over them with a light jump.This feeling of greatly increased running ability made him feel excited and overjoyed. He couldn't help cheering twice, but the roar of zombies around him from time to time made him shut his mouth.

Soon, turning a corner, Charlie saw the police station not far ahead, but the scene in front of him made his heart tremble, and he suddenly retreated, surrounded by a large group of zombies.

This police station is an independent building with a boxy shape and a dozen floors.The protection level is very high, not only the entrance is full of anti-theft glass, but also the protective fence, and the wall is also high-grade cement, which is very strong and thick.

At this time, the door was closed, and a lot of heavy objects were piled up behind the doors and windows. The zombies had no choice but to climb up and break through the windows. The gaps in the wall bricks were enough for them to climb.

The windows on the lower floors are not bulletproof, but there are thick anti-theft fences, and the zombies can't open them for a while.But the windows above the seventh floor are not protected. There are not many zombies that can climb up to this height, but even if one rushes in, it may infect the people inside, and the chaos caused will make other zombies take the opportunity to rush in too. It's dangerous.

The police were obviously aware of this, and there were guards at every window on the eighth floor.They didn't use guns, but used long police sticks to stab down the climbing zombies. The zombies were stuck in the cracks of the wall bricks, with little force, and they would fall down after a slight bump. The situation was not considered a crisis.

At this time, there are not only police officers in the police station, some of them are all kinds of criminals, but those who can be detained here are petty thefts and fighters, and they are all locked up or handcuffed at fixed points. No threat.

There are also some smart citizens who escaped when they saw the situation was not good, but the number is not very large, because the gate of the police station was soon surrounded by zombies.

The boss here, John, had already reported the situation to his boss. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still used the word "zombie" to describe the crazy crowd.Because the initial outbreak point was not here, the higher-ups knew the situation faster than them, immediately mobilized the army, sealed off the entire N city, and began to build a separation wall, and even closed the pipelines leading to the outside of the city to ensure that no one Zombies can run out.

John was ordered to guard the police station, be a nail in the crowd of zombies, and report the situation at any time, waiting for relevant personnel to enter the city to eliminate the zombies and provide help within their ability.

He has been a policeman for 30 or [-] years, and he has experienced countless dangers. He fought wits with high-IQ murderers, and head-to-head with vicious drug lords, so he didn't have much fear in the face of the zombies that often appear in this film and television drama.

What's more, he is still an awakened person. When he was investigating a disappearance case, he was awakened when he was attacked by a soul-devouring rat.Afterwards, he was informed of the origin and purpose of the Soul Eater by relevant organizations in country M, and asked him to keep it secret.After that, he continued to be the head of the place on the surface, and secretly helped the awakened people recruited by M country to fight against the Soul Eater.

John is a physically awakened person. His ability is similar to that of Pang Zhuang, but his strength and physical strength are also enhanced, and his strength is strong.Later, after country M disclosed the matter of the awakened person, he no longer concealed it.

Of course, the whole world has long suspected that he is an awakener, because he has become too strong in a short period of time.Originally a strong but normal body, within a few days it became even more exaggerated than the bodybuilding champion of the season, and it was still flexible without any sense of bloated and cumbersome.

Zombies are now surrounding the police station. Although the police officers have received training and their psychological quality is higher than that of ordinary people, it is a lie to say that they are not afraid.Fortunately, there is John, a powerful awakener, and everyone feels much more at ease under his command.

Charlie didn't know the specific situation in the police station, but he saw uniformed people on the eighth floor preventing zombies from climbing up. Some of them looked familiar to him. After all, they were in the same neighborhood, and it was normal to meet them while patrolling.

He felt relieved, which meant that the police station was still under the control of the police, and there was no case of being overrun by criminals in the movie, so he should be able to rely on him.

Before he was awakened, Charlie didn't care who the survivors were, and escaped to survive. But now, not to mention how strong his fighting power is, his ability to escape must be first-class. As long as he is not locked indoors, the zombies Almost no threat to him.

Then it is natural to distinguish the nature of the hiding place, so as not to capsize in the gutter.The head of the police station is a powerful awakened person, and he also knows that it is definitely much better to seek refuge with such a senior awakened person than to wander around alone.

Now that he has decided to go in, the problem now is how to pass through the group of zombies on the third and outer floors, jump to the height of the seventh and eighth floors, and enter through the window.

With his ability, he may be able to jump up directly from a long distance, but he has just awakened, he has no idea, lacks courage, and cannot afford to fail.Before he could figure out what to do, the zombies helped him find a way.

Unable to open the delicious can of the police station, these zombies also seemed very manic. At this time, Charlie who turned the corner and appeared not far away immediately attracted their attention.

Although it is night now, the streets of N City are brightly lit, just like daytime. Even the closed shops have to turn on the night lights. This is the style of country M that requires other parts of the world to save energy and reduce emissions.

This made Charlie invisible. In addition to his body odor and the sound of his heartbeat and breathing, none of them could escape the powerful senses of the zombies, especially on the empty streets.

If you can't eat a big meal, it's okay to get a snack pad to cushion your stomach first. A group of zombies surrounded by the outer layer who couldn't squeeze in rushed towards Charlie, uttering a piercing "owwow" sound, as if they were crying for hunger.

Seeing this, Charlie thought about it, and remembered that a book from the East that he had read once described a good way, that is, the strategy of keeping the tiger away from the mountain.

He ran with these chasing zombies, not too fast, hanging a few meters in front of them, and after going around a few kilometers away, he accelerated and threw them away, and came to the police again. Bureau gate.

"Fake squid, come and chase me!"

Charlie rushed a few meters away from the group of zombies and shouted.

Of course the zombies couldn't understand his words, but they could smell his fleshy scent. This time, more zombies came after him. After all, it was a delicious meal that was close at hand, and he managed to drive this wave of zombies away.

After doing this over and over again, the group of zombies that surrounded the police station all went about the same.The zombies attracted by Charlie did not come back, which shows that although the zombies' abilities in all aspects of their bodies have not weakened, they seem to have lost their memory.

Of course, these zombies will eventually find the scent and surround the police station again, but this can be regarded as the weakness of the zombies.

Seeing that there were no zombies downstairs in the police station, Charlie rushed over and jumped hard.Without the threat of zombies, he didn't panic, and his strength was normal. With this jump, he jumped directly to the window on the eighth floor. The policeman who was watching him inside immediately grabbed his arm and pulled him into the house.

The policemen naturally noticed Charlie's performance. His incredible mobility showed that he was an awakened person.It's also obvious that he lured the zombies away, just to come in and seek shelter.

The zombies surrounding the downstairs were emptied out, and it wasn't like these people didn't think about rushing out and running outside N city. As long as they reached the partition wall built on the edge of the city and passed the inspection, they could leave completely safe.

But if John doesn't leave, even if ordinary people like them have sophisticated weapons, they won't be able to rush out of the massive crowd of zombies.According to the information John learned from above, the number of zombies in the city has exceeded one million, and it has been increasing rapidly.There are wandering zombies everywhere, so stay here, and under the leadership of John, we can work together to tide over the difficulties.

Charlie, who entered the room, breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time became excited. The awakener is really powerful. He has just awakened, and his ability must not be fully utilized.

But even so, the zombies that chased him away in a hurry seemed to be no longer a concern.Thinking of the wealth and status that I can obtain by relying on my identity as an awakened person in the future, I feel a burst of fire in my heart.

Later, Charlie was taken to John who was observing the surrounding zombies on the roof of the building.Seeing this giant iron tower man who was about to burst his uniform and exude a mighty power in every gesture, Charlie's pride that had just appeared was gone, and he honestly told the story of how he escaped from and how he became an awakened person. out.

John frowned after hearing this. He let the colleague who brought Charlie leave first, and then asked.

"Did you see a mouse the size of a cat when you woke up?"

"Huh? What the hell, I had a terrible headache at the time, and I was busy running for my life. I focused all my attention on the zombies. I didn't see any mice. What does the mouse have to do with my awakening?"

Charlie asked strangely.

John didn't answer, but looked around with a worried look.One of the tasks he received was to use the favorable location to observe whether the Soul-devouring Rat had any relationship with zombies, but the Soul-devouring Rat hiding underground was already very hidden, and nothing was found now.

Charlie was awakened when he was being chased by zombies. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a Soul-devouring rat nearby, he would have broken the rule that he could only awaken when he met a Soul-devouring rat.

If Charlie is not an exception, does it mean that the zombies are related to the Soul Eater, and they can all cause the awakening of nearby people with awakening potential.

After observing for a long time without any results, John took Charlie downstairs, who didn't know why, and the zombies in the distance began to gather here again.The battle has not stopped, at least until tomorrow, before the higher-ups can formulate the most effective strategy to solve the crisis here.
