Chapter Forty-Nine: Misfortune Strikes
Zheng Jiayi was woken up in her sleep and just wanted to run out to warn everyone that there might be an earthquake. I heard a commotion outside.
It turned out that the ground had collapsed due to improper excavation. The dream of digging a tunnel through the underground warehouse of Guò was shattered for the time being, but the worst thing was not this.
Zheng Jiayi quickly occupied the position of the window. Not only her, but almost everyone was watching the collapsed entrance. The people standing at the entrance were covered in mud, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they didn't know who was who. It seems that there are still people who did not escape in time and were buried directly.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Jiayi stood at the window and asked Zhou Meng in the next window by the way.
"I don't know." Zhou Meng was also confused, and muttered: "I don't know if I moved out the grain storage first." ”
Zheng Jiayi glanced at Zhou Meng with a speechless face, the focus of this girl is always different from others.
"Aren't you afraid that your family Zhou Jian will be buried?" Zheng Jiayi deliberately provoked her.
"Oops. No way? Zhou Meng's face suddenly realized, and then dropped a sentence: "I have to hurry up and take a look." Then he ran away. As soon as he ran out, he knocked Liu Xiling into someone and turned over on his back.
"Oh my mother. I'm going to die-" Liu Xiling scolded and walked in from Zhou Meng's unclosed bedroom door. They live in a room on the other side, and they can only go to this window to find out about the 'earthquake' that has just occurred. I saw her rubbing her chest while leaning towards the window, and when she saw Zheng Jiayi, she asked by the way, "Is something wrong?" ”
"I had just woken up from a violent shake. No more than you know. Zheng Jiayi lay on the windowsill and said to herself: "It's a blessing that no one is hurt." ”
"It doesn't look like it-" Liu Xiling finally put down the hand that had been rubbing her chest, leaned on the window like Zheng Jiayi, and said, "Do we want to go down and help?" ”
"It's not messy enough-" Zheng Jiayi refused: "Look at how many people are squeezed down there now?" After speaking, he suddenly paused, then glanced at Liu Xiling with a frown, and said, "The door of your room is not closed, right?" ”
"Hmm" Liu Xiling saw Zheng Jiayi looking at her so strictly, and she became nervous for no reason.
Zheng Jiayi quickly left the window and ran to Liu Xiling's room. The balcony of Liu Xiling's room is the best place to observe the walking corpses outside the house. Therefore, Liu Xiling generally doesn't even open the window next to the balcony in the room, let alone open the balcony door.
It took Zheng Jiayi a lot of effort to open the balcony door that had not been used for a long time. The balcony of this house is not closed, and it is no wonder that Liu Xiling is so worried.
Ho ho ho
As soon as Zheng Jiayi stepped out, the walking corpse downstairs had already noticed it. One by one, they stretched out their hands to Zheng Jiayi.
"Oops!" Zheng Jiayi frowned and sighed. As long as there is the slightest movement in the house, the frequency of the walking corpses is more frequent than usual. At this moment, the walking corpse below is very excited. There is a saying that there is great strength in numbers. It's the same with the walking dead. Even the doors and windows have been repeatedly reinforced. But it was only a matter of time before it was broken through like this.
As long as one point is breached, the rest of the defense line will collapse in an instant.
Zheng Jiayi was poking her head out to check the situation. Her vision is limited, and she has to run a few more houses and enter a few more rooms to see more comprehensively.
Suddenly, a human head also poked out from the balcony of the first room next door. Probably, this person is the same as Zheng Jiayi's worries.
Zheng Jiayi squinted her eyes and looked next door to the sun. The sun is too harsh. Zheng Jiayi was stabbed and couldn't open her eyes.
"Looks like we're going to have to reinforce the windows and doors again." The other party shouted.
"Is it Wu Shuai?" Wu Shuai's voice, Zheng Jiayi is quite familiar.
"It's me." Wu Shuai continued to shout.
"Is there any damage over there?"
"Not yet. However, it would be more reassuring to plan to seal the doors and windows on the first floor. Wu Shuai spoke out about his decision.
"So how are we going to get out?" Zheng Jiayi's mind didn't have time to turn for a while.
"It's not going to be all sealed. There will be a door to enter and exit. It's enough to keep one. Wu Shuai's voice was obviously smiling.
When Zheng Jiayi heard this, she nodded silently, and then continued to ask, "What about the collapsed ground?" Will it affect the buildings on both sides? Will there be a walking corpse coming in? ”
"No, it won't. It's just that those vegetables are all planted in vain! ”
Zheng Jiayi felt a little sorry in her heart, but now is not the time to worry about sweet potato seedlings. The most important thing is that the building does not fall. The rest of the things are coming.
"Did anyone get hurt?" Zheng Jiayi realized that she had forgotten to ask the most important thing.
"Yes." Wu Shuai was concise and clear.
Zheng Jiayi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Then should we go and help?" ”
"Am I helping?" Wu Shuai's tone was a little heavy, and then he simply added: "I'm not here to inspect the building, I have to find a weak place for the walking corpses to find a way to kill them." ”
"What's wrong?" Zheng Jiayi's heart was beating wildly. What is the difference between going out at this time and looking for death? And, what really happened to make it necessary to risk almost death to get out?
"A lot of medicines are needed. There are only some common cold and flu medicines in the house of the uncle and aunt. We need more specialized medical supplies. Wu Shuai's tone was indescribably heavy. Each sound hit Zheng Jiayi's little heart hard.
"So strict?" Zheng Jiayi lowered her head and muttered to herself, then raised her voice slightly and asked, "Where are these things?" How are we going to get out? ”
"We?" Wu Shuai was stunned.
I don't know if I'm used to facing the sun on my back like this. Suddenly it wasn't so glaring. Zheng Jiayi's brows did not loosen, although she was still squinting, she could already clearly see Wu Shuai's face. She looked at Wu Shuai seriously and said, "Right? It's all boys digging tunnels, right? The injured are all boys, right? With such three times and five divided by two, what other manpower can you have? ”
Wu Shuai was speechless, and then silent.
"Why are you still stunned? Did you find a breakthrough? Zheng Jiayi shouted Wu Shuai's soul back.
"Not yet." Wu Shuai shook his head and continued: "I've seen all four corners. So many days have passed. Originally, there were many walking corpses on this side. Now there are fewer walking corpses on this side than on the other side. But it's still a lot. There are no dead ends in the whole walking corpse. ”
"Then you keep observing. I went and asked the locals. Let's see if we can discuss a nearest route. If you can't make a particularly good breakthrough, it's good to be able to find the nearest way. After Zheng Jiayi finished speaking, without waiting for Wu Shuai's reaction, she had already gone downstairs first.
