Chapter 152: Waiting for the Rabbit (Part 2)
Chen Yuan first went to the room of the two guards on the sixth floor to take a look, and heard that they had not returned, so he went down the floor to look for them, and later met them at the door of the activity room on the second floor.
Seeing Chen Yuan coming to them, they all looked a little surprised, "Brother Yuan, is there something wrong?"
Chen Yuan put his hands on their shoulders and whispered, "I want to ask you something, when you went to catch the two small animals today, did you miss anything else?"
The one on the left scratched his head and replied seriously: "No, Brother Yuan." ”
"You only saw two of them?"
"Yes, Brother Yuan, is there anything else?"
The guard on the right looked at Chen Yuan with some confusion.
Chen Yuan smiled naturally, "Of course I don't know, I'm just a little worried about coming over and asking, in case there is really a miss, I have to quickly take the three teams to help you catch it!"
"Oh, oh, that's it. ”
The two guards also smiled with Chen Yuan, "Then don't worry about Brother Yuan, there are indeed only those two." ”
"Okay, then I know, you're busy. ”
"Okay. ”
After separating from those two, Chen Yuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew very well how many stray cats and how many stray dogs he had adopted during the Dragon Boat Festival, but those two people only caught two, which means that the other stray cats and dogs may have been infected.
After inquiring about the place where the Dragon Boat Festival was locked up, Chen Yuan went over to see him alone. The specific location is near the material room on the first floor, and there are two guards guarding the door.
Seeing Chen Yuan coming, the two of them immediately took the initiative to greet him.
"Why did Brother Yuan come over?"
Chen Yuan smiled at the two of them, stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the room, "I have something to do with him." ”
"Oooh oh. The two of them nodded repeatedly, "Understood." ”
They opened the door as they spoke.
Chen Yuan patted them on the shoulder, "Thank you, I'll bring you some good cigarettes next time." ”
"Oh, you're polite, Brother Yuan, go quickly. ”
Entering the room, the Dragon Boat Festival was sitting quietly in the corner. Seeing Chen Yuan suddenly come in, he seemed very surprised.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Yuan smiled and sat next to him, "Of course I came to see you." ”
Dragon Boat shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Thank you, brother." ”
"I didn't expect you to be locked up here so easily, looking at your size, it should be easy to resist, right?"
"After all, no matter what, the dead guard still has something to do with me after all. If I hadn't kept those little animals, maybe it wouldn't have happened. ”
The Dragon Boat Festival looked a little depressed.
Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to think so, we don't want the kittens and puppies to be infected by zombies, if you want to blame those zombies, it's mainly because of them." ”
Dragon Boat raised his head and leaned against the wall, "How are the potatoes and black balls now?"
Chen Yuan blinked, and suddenly didn't know what to tell him. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Well, it's dead, let's mourn." ”
Dragon Boat Festival's reaction was not intense, he still maintained the posture just now, and was silent for a long time, he said, "Really?"
"You should know. ”
"Hmm. ”
Although it was only a few words, Chen Yuan could still feel the sadness in the heart of the Dragon Boat Festival. This grief cannot be avoided and can only be borne alone.
"Don't think too much about it, they're a relief. ”
Dragon Boat nodded, "You should have something else to do with me, right?"
Chen Yuan smiled, "Why do you say that?"
"That's how it feels. ”
"Okay. Chen Yuan was noncommittal, "You feel quite accurate today, I just want to ask, after Xiaohua disappeared, did several more small animals disappear one after another?" I went to ask the two guards who took the potatoes and the black ball, and they said that there were only two of them at that time. I don't know if the others didn't meet them or if they disappeared at all. ”
Dragon Boat Festival pondered for a moment, "It should be missing, when I went to feed last night, only potatoes and black balls came over, and the other little guys didn't know where they went." ”
seems to be very reluctant to accept such a fact, and the voice of the Dragon Boat Festival sounds very sad.
"Okay, then I got it. ”
In this way, the probability of those missing critters being infected is very high. Chen Yuan thought about it for a while, and in his impression, the Dragon Boat Festival should have adopted four cats and three dogs, and in addition to the three who died, there were still two cats and two dogs.
"Are you worried that they're all infected?"
The voice of the Dragon Boat Festival came, and Chen Yuan nodded, "This is also something that can't be helped." ”
After another period of silence, the Dragon Boat Festival said to him: "Then you pay attention to safety." ”
"Well, don't worry. ”
Leaving from the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Yuan found Mi Le and asked him to inform all the members of the search team to have a good rest in the afternoon, so that they could have enough energy to face the crisis that might arise at night.
Back in his room, Chen Yuan lay on the floor and began to slowly brew sleep. He had to adjust himself to the best condition and try to avoid any more casualties.
Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.
He saw the hideous animals behind the zombie infection. They are no longer docile and cute, all that remains of their bloodthirsty fangs. Not only cats and dogs have been infected, but also lions, tigers, wolves, elephants, black bears, and all kinds of other large animals have become terrifying.
They burst out of the woods, frantically tearing through the Vault's defenses. The black bear trampled him under his feet and let out a deafening roar continuously.
"Dinner, Brother Yuan. ”
Blinking blankly, Chen Yuan saw Yao Zhijie sitting next to him.
He coughed dryly twice, then sat up from the bunk. The images from the dream still lingered in his mind, and it felt as real as a memory. For some reason, the uneasiness is getting stronger. He didn't know if the situation in his dream would actually come true one day, he could only pray, praying that day would never come.
"Did you dream about something? You don't seem to have a good face. ”
Chen Yuan grabbed his hair hard, "It's okay." With a casual answer, he took out a cigarette and lit one. The smell of nicotine rushed into his lungs, making him feel a little more comfortable.
After dinner, Chen Yuan gathered his companions together again.
"Remember what was said at the conference, no one should leave Building One. There are unknown dangers out there, and you must keep yourself safe here. ”
"We know, Brother Yuan. ”
Chen Yuan nodded, "That's fine, you all rest early." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to beckon Mi Le and Yang Wanli to follow him to the hall on the first floor to gather with everyone.
After assigning the specific areas that each team is responsible for in detail, Chen Yuan said to Nie Junlong and Luo Xiu: "There should be at least four more infected cats and dogs, you should pay attention to safety." ”
"Hmm. ”
After the three teams dispersed, Chen Yuan led the three teams to walk cautiously along the road between Building 3 and the east fence. Considering that there was a possibility of being attacked at any time throughout the night, Chen Yuan divided the three teams into three shifts. They stayed there from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Everyone ushered in a drunken morning light in their sleepiness, and nothing happened all night.
Chen Yuan was not surprised by such a result, after all, Xiaohua did not appear immediately after her disappearance. All they have to do is continue to strengthen their defenses and wait slowly.
Time came to the third night in a blink of an eye, and Chen Yuan led the patrol until eleven o'clock, and then was replaced by Yang Wanli with another group of people. He sat on the wall of Building No. 3 to rest, and the team members next to him asked him tiredly: "Brother Yuan, do you think those animals won't come at all?"
Chen Yuan looked up at the moon in the sky, "To be honest, I don't know, but I feel like it's coming." ”
"If they don't show up, do we have to patrol all night like this every night?"
"Otherwise, you want to be bitten to death unconsciously. ”
Chen Yuan said casually.
The team member quickly shook his head, "I don't want to." ”
As he was talking, Yang Wanli's eager voice sounded from the walkie-talkie.
"Chen Yuan, something is coming. ”
The little sleepiness that had just been ignited was immediately emptied at this moment.
Chen Yuan stood up suddenly, picked up the iron rod and ran in the direction of Yang Wanli and them.
"I'll be there soon, be careful!"
The team members behind him followed him and ran forward.
The night breeze was coming, and the cool touch made everyone more awake.
When they arrived at Yang Wanli's side, a group of them were guarding a fence.
"What's the situation?"
Chen Yuan lowered his voice.
Yang Wanli was still staring at the bushes outside the fence, "Something came running from the forest just now, probably from the position we were staring at, and it hasn't moved again." ”
Chen Yuan took a closer look, and the situation in the bushes was completely obscured by the shadows, and he couldn't see anything. The fence in front of you, plus the stone piers on the ground, should have been more than two meters high. At such a height, can that guy jump over?
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes, always feeling that something was strange.
Another gust of wind blew, and the trees swayed gently.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bush. It was as if their nerves were swaying in the wind like the bushes.
After two seconds, the bushes swayed in greater amplitude.
Chen Yuan suddenly realized that something was wrong, according to the last time he met Xiaohua in the forest, it was absolutely impossible for this guy to rush out directly in front of everyone like this, so it was just a bait......
The thought swelled rapidly in my mind.
Turning back sharply, they saw a blood-stained white cat cautiously approaching them in the moonlight. The moment Chen Yuan made eye contact with it, it let out a sharp chirp and immediately rushed over.
