This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 14

He didn’t know how much time had passed, maybe a long time, or maybe just a few seconds.

The first to wake up was Zou Lang. His ears were buzzing, and he found himself lying on the ground in the tunnel.

The explosion killed the zombies chasing them and the nest at the same time. The ground was covered with the flesh and blood of the exploded zombies.

Zou Lang struggled to lift his head, then felt wet on his body, as if it was raining in the tunnel. Then he realized it wasn’t rain, but blood dripping from his forehead.

The small light on his forehead couldn’t let him see everything in this dim environment.

But luckily, the small searchlight was still faintly lit, allowing him to identify the direction. As he regained consciousness, Zou Lang remembered the voice of Yu Jingtang before he lost consciousness…

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Zou Lang eagerly searched in the ruins, then saw Yu Jingtang lying not far away, with several huge stones piled on him.

At that moment, Zou Lang’s heart almost stopped. He crawled over with his hands and feet, touched Yu Jingtang’s nose, and there was still breath. He began to move the stones pressing on him like a madman, digging until his hands were bloody.

Yu Jingtang heard the sound, his long eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes, “I can’t do it anymore, you go…”

At this time, he was lying on the cold ground, to be precise, he was nailed to the ground. When the boulder fell, three protruding rebars pierced his body. Two pierced his abdomen, one pierced his right chest. It’s unknown whether it’s lucky or unlucky, because of the support of these three rebars, he wasn’t crushed to death.

Pain…so painful…Yu Jingtang only had this one thought, dominating his entire body. His eyelashes trembled, his hands slid over the sharp stones, his legs kicked aimlessly, but he couldn’t relieve a bit of the pain, “You go…you go…I’m stuck…”

For the first time, Yu Jingtang felt the despair of being close to death. He was panting, with a weak voice, almost pleadingly said to Zou Lang. Warm blood kept gathering. The air was full of the smell of blood.

“No, I won’t go. Either we go out together, or we die together.” Zou Lang said, but accelerated the speed of his hands. There could be a second collapse here at any time.

“Go! This is an order!” Yu Jingtang suddenly raised his voice and shouted, the next second he coughed up blood with heart-wrenching pain, his chest was shaken, and there was a heart-piercing pain.

“I won’t go, I’ll stay! If you have time to say these things and want to drive me away, you might as well think about how to get you out!” Zou Lang roared, his voice echoing in the tunnel. His eyes were bright, blood was flowing from his forehead, down his cheeks. At this moment, he put away his playful smile, and for the first time, he spoke so harshly to Yu Jingtang. He was going to disobey orders, preferring to die rather than listen to him!

This person…really seems to have been born to oppose him, time and time again refusing to do as he wished… 

In the darkness, Yu Jingtang’s eyes reddened. He took a deep breath, finally gave up driving Zou Lang away, and said through gritted teeth in pain, “Okay, we’ll go together, alive…you…try…can you push away the…stone pressing on me.” The rebar was shuttled through his chest, each word was so difficult to say. His wound was in severe pain, but at this moment, even pressing the wound was a luxury.

Zou Lang listened to Yu Jingtang’s words, pushing hard against the huge stone pressing on him. With his efforts, the stone finally loosened and tilted to one side. Yu Jingdou felt the rebar in his body stirring, turning his body to one side.

“Hold me…hold me, pull me…out.” In the darkness, Yu Jingtang bit his teeth and endured the severe pain, reaching out his hands to Zou Lang.

Zou Lang held his hands and pulled him out. The rebar in his chest was like a saw, moving in his body. Yu Jingdou heard the sound of flesh tearing, and the pain almost made him faint.

Zou Lang used his strength, but only pulled out a little, “You use your strength…”

Ugh…Yu Jingtang had been using his strength, and he knew what the reason was. It wasn’t stuck, but something in his body was hooked by the curved rebar. The cold and hard rebar stirred, causing his legs to cramp with pain. He was about to go crazy, he kept adjusting his breathing, panting, and cold sweat kept flowing from his forehead.

Another collapse, Zou Lang bent down and held Yu Jingtang tightly, using his back to block the falling rubble for him. A few stones hit him, making his body tremble, his voice stuck in his throat, he gritted his teeth and endured it. Yu Jingtang was frightened for a moment, lying in Zou Lang’s arms, feeling his body temperature.

They can’t both die here! At least, let Zou Lang go out.

Yu Jingtang made up his mind and mustered all his courage. He suddenly hugged Zou Lang’s neck tightly with both hands, hugging him with all his strength, his trembling arms exerting force, like the most affectionate hug between lovers.

“I love you, keep going, we’re almost out…” Zou Lang’s words echoed in Yu Jingtang’s ears, but at this moment, he had no idea how cruel this was to Yu Jingtang.

“Ah… ugh…hmm…” Yu Jingtang frowned. Every inch of movement consumed all his strength. He suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes widened, the veins on his neck tightened, the pain in his body reached its limit. He was acutely aware that under the force of his own hands, the rebar behind him was twisting his organs, inch by inch leaving his body, like his life, slowly ebbing away.

“Ah…!!!” Yu Jingtang screamed, his body suddenly jerked forward, finally, something broke off, with the dragging away from the body, in the darkness, a hot stream gushed out from his lower back, splashing onto the ground.

Pain…so painful…

Yu Jingtang broke free from the rebar’s restraint, the severe pain made his body stiff, and a large amount of blood flowed out from the three wounds. He dared not imagine the unimaginable situation behind him, dared not guess what would be hanging on that rebar, and dared not look back.

Zou Lang felt blood on Yu Jingtang’s body, but he didn’t know how heavy his injury was, and he was ready to pick him up sideways. The severe pain in his body made Yu Jingtang’s mind dazed, he painfully looked up at Zou Lang’s profile, this man’s expression was so serious now, full of blood and dust, but so handsome, making him sink. Yu Jingdou opened his mouth with the last of his strength, his voice hoarse, persuading Zou Lang, “You can’t carry me, put me down, go…”

Zou Lang interrupted his words, bowed his head and kissed Yu Jingtang’s pale lips. Then he raised his head, his eyes firm, “I can carry you! This time, I won’t let go even if I die! You promised me, we will go out alive together.”

Hearing his words, a warmth rose in Yu Jingtang’s heart, it turned out that besides his mother, there were still people in this world who cared about him…

The collapse continued. In the dust, Yu Jingtang felt his body lighten, leaving the ground, he felt Zou Lang running, the pitch-black subway tunnel was making breaking sounds everywhere, dust and stones kept falling. He couldn’t do anything, he couldn’t even stop Zou Lang, he could only use all his strength to circle Zou Lang’s neck. Lying in his arms, listening to his panting and heartbeat.

The tunnel was long, as if it had no end.

Perhaps because a rebar in his chest pierced his lungs, blood began to well up in Yu Jingdou’s mouth, he half-opened his eyes, frowning, swallowing the blood mouthful by mouthful, his body was in severe pain, never had it hurt like this, every tremor made his whole body convulse in agony. But he didn’t want to distract Zou Lang, he couldn’t let Zou Lang know at this time…that what he might have tried his best to save…would be a dead person.

Pain, it hurts so much… Yu Jingdou gritted his teeth, trying hard not to make a sound.

But it hurts too much!

A large amount of bleeding made him dazed, but the severe pain made his mind clear, fainting, or dying, became a luxury for him. Finally, a ray of light appeared in front…

The sunlight was dazzling, Zou Lang used all his strength to run towards that light.

At the last moment, he ran out of the tunnel holding Yu Jingtang, his knees softened, and he fell directly to the ground. Before falling, he didn’t forget to put his arm under Yu Jingtang.

The entire tunnel made a loud noise behind him, and then collapsed with a bang. Dust was everywhere, as if sighing. This collapse lasted for half a minute, and then everything returned to calm.

They succeeded!

The sunlight outside the tunnel was so bright, it was a long-lost light, dispelling all the darkness.

Zou Lang raised his head, shook the dust off his head, he was panting and laughing, the blood on his forehead mixed with sweat dripped down and he didn’t bother to wipe it with his hand, he was eager to share the joy of surviving a disaster with Yu Jingtang, “I did it…you did it too. You’re great, really… I said we shouldn’t give up.”

Yu Jingtang smiled, seeing Zou Lang’s smile, he reached out as if he wanted to touch him, but that hand stopped in mid-air and fell down, he couldn’t bear it anymore, frowned, and spat out a mouthful of blood, warm blood splashed on Zou Lang’s face. Zou Lang’s face was incredulous. He lowered his head and found that Yu Jingtang’s other hand was pressing on his chest, blood mixed with blood clots, continuously flowing out from his fingers.

Yu Jingtang’s face was pale to the extreme under the cover of dust, but also beautiful and poignant.

Zou Lang was scared, he reached out his trembling hand to check Yu Jingtang’s wound, opened Yu Jingdou’s half-covered hands, saw the hideous wound and the amount of bleeding, and was stunned.

Yu Jingtang held his hand, smiled a little apologetically, his lips trembling, “Don’t… don’t waste your energy…I can’t do it…I’m sorry, I lied to you…”

What about going out alive together, he lied to him, this time, Zou Lang didn’t see through his routine again.

Tears suddenly slid down the corner of Zou Lang’s eyes, he went to kiss Yu Jingtang’s lips, regardless of wiping the blood on his chin, but that blood kept sliding from the corner of his mouth, more and more. He didn’t dare to cover his wound, afraid that even the slightest touch would aggravate his injury.

Yu Jingtang convulsed gently in his arms, “I… it hurts so much…I hurt… it’s so cold…”

Zou Lang suddenly remembered something and said tremblingly, “Think about your mother, you said you still want to see your mother, your mother is not here, you can’t die!”

“Mother.” Yu Jingtang half-closed his eyes and repeated this word, his voice was barely audible, the tears that he had never shed even when he was severely injured and in extreme pain suddenly flowed down, the tears were like broken beads, constantly flowing, sliding over his blood-stained pale cheeks. He reached out his trembling hand to touch his nameplate.

“I won’t take it off!” Zou Lang took off his coat and wrapped it around Yu Jingtang’s waist haphazardly, “If you dare to die, I will throw it away, so your mother will never know where you are! Can you bear it? To leave her alone!”

Yu Jingtang’s hand stopped, he cried silently, a pair of beautiful eyes looking at Zou Lang, but he couldn’t say a word.

Zou Lang took out medicine from his uniform pocket, gave him an injection in a hurry, adrenaline, and coagulant…then buried his head and held him in his arms, tightly, warming his gradually cold body.
