In the nick of time, Julia broke the tightrope!

"Ahh Hold on to that end! She screamed and ran to the edge of the rooftop, and behind her, a group of zombies with teeth and claws!

The stretched thin arm was almost up to Julia's hair!

Yin Zhen clutched the steel rope tightly with both hands, and his heart was in his throat!

Julia jumped onto the railing in three or two steps, and she grabbed the tightrope, jumped over, and jumped off the roof!

Behind her, a group of zombies pounced.

Feeling the steel cable in his hand sinking hard, Yin Zhen leaned on the railing and looked down, Julia swung twice in mid-air, and pressed her foot against the opposite wall: "Ah Zhen, pull up!" ”

Yin Zhen woke up and hurriedly went to retrieve the steel cable. After five or six strokes, Julia was dragged up.

"Ouch my mom! Almost died. She leaned on the railing and took a deep breath, "This bungee jumping is really not the place. ”

Yin Zhen panted and stood in front of the railing, looking at the rooftop of the opposite building.

Five minutes ago, they were standing there, but now they were full of zombies, pouring out of the rooftop door, more and more. The zombies threw themselves on the railing, wailing at the two living people on this side, and some even stretched out their arms to catch them out of thin air. Even several of them were squeezed unsteady by their companions behind and fell from the edge of the rooftop......

With the terrifying sound of a wolf's howl, the zombies kept falling from a height, and under this dazzling scorching sun, it was even more eerie!

Next, they did the same, and swung from this one to the fifth building.

Every time, it was Julia who brought Yin Zhen over, and then came over to untie the tightrope, and walked over like a bungee jump.

In this way, they shook one by one, until they reached the house on the very edge, and at this moment, they were already quite far from the starting point.

After a short rest, Julia straightened up and looked at the top of the first building with a telescope, the zombies dancing in their hands, their number was increasing, I am afraid that the movement attracted all the zombies around.

"Look, they're all gone there, it's safe here." She handed the binoculars to Yin Zhen.

"Then how do we go down now?" Yin Zhen asked.

"Try the stairs."

Julia said as she walked to the door of the rooftop, and she reached out and pulled the iron door, but found that there was no movement.

"Damn it!" She cursed.

"What's wrong?" Yin Zhen hurriedly ran over, he bent down to take a closer look, it turned out that the door was welded shut.

"I'm in trouble." Julia pounded the iron door, "This is terrible. ”

Yin Zhen's legs were still weak, he looked around blankly, there was nothing on the rooftop, only the scorching sun was like an infinite golden giant umbrella, firmly covering the two of them.

"Is it possible to find a place to climb down?" He said suddenly.

Julia was reminded by him to turn around the rooftop, and she climbed the iron railing and looked down again.

"There's a way, we can climb down the drain, and it's right on the side, and the zombies over there can't see it." After Julia finished speaking, her expression hesitated, "But...... The process may be even more terrifying than it was just like that. ”

"Then we can't stay here and die." Yin Zhen said depressedly, "The sewer pipe is over there, I don't know if it's enough." ”

The hose was still a turn away from the rooftop where they were, and Julia took the wire rope and threw the head of the cable in the direction of the hose twice, the first time, without hooking, and the second time, the hook caught on the protruding edge of the pipe.

Then she bolted the other end of the cable to the rooftop railing, grabbed the cable with her hand, and moved it little by little in the direction of the thick sewer pipe. Julia's movements are like juggling high-altitude adventures.

Halfway through the climb, the hook suddenly unhooked, and with a "bang", Julia fell down!

Yin Zhen almost threw himself out of the rooftop fence!

"Julia!" His voice has changed!

“…… No, it's okay, I'm fine. A faint voice came from below, "I didn't fall." ”

A moment later, Yin Zhen heard the crisp bump of a steel cable from the sewer pipe. After a while, he saw Julia clutching the tightrope and slowly crawling back.

Yin Zhen hurriedly reached out and pulled her into the fence.

After relieving herself, Julia said to him, "I'll carry our bag down first, put it down, and then I'll come up and carry you." Otherwise, the thing is too heavy, and I'm afraid that there will be a mistake. ”

Yin Zhen listened, he lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I can climb alone." ”

"Really?" Julia looked at him suspiciously, "But you have a fear of heights, don't you?" ”

"I don't have a fear of heights!" Yin Zhen interrupted her angrily, "I'm just not used to it!" Now I'm used to it! I can go down alone! ”

Seeing that he was so resolute, Julia couldn't say anything, and she looked back at the steel rope hanging from the rooftop.

"So, what if, you crawl halfway and faint?"

"There won't be anything like that!" Yin Zhen was even more angry, "I'm not that wasteful!" ”

With such a turning angle, it is indeed quite difficult to climb with a person on his back, and it is better to let him try it alone in terms of the degree of danger. Thinking of this, Julia nodded: "Okay, you're ahead, I'm carrying my bag." ”

"You carry your own, and I'll carry my bag."

After Yin Zhen finished speaking, he picked up his mountaineering bag, walked to the edge of the steel cable like a robot with two stiff legs, he climbed over the railing, grabbed the steel cable with his hand, and hesitated.

"Don't be afraid, I've got it strong over there. I can't fall. "It's as easy as climbing a tree when you were a kid." ”

"I didn't climb a tree when I was a kid." Yin Zhen said in a stiff voice, "Where I was born, there is not a single tree. ”

“……”

Seeing the man slowly crawl over, Julia picked up the bag on the ground, and she looked back at the top of the first building in the distance, where the zombies were still gathered.

She thought of the man who shot her: Who was going to kill them?

Knowing that she couldn't find an answer at this point, Julia stopped thinking about it, and she walked to the railing, untied the steel cable, climbed over the iron bar, and then grabbed the steel cable and swung it to the end of the sewer pipe.

Grabbing the thick drain in her hand, Julia looked down and almost laughed.

I saw that Yin Zhen's guy put his whole body on the water pipe, even including his face. The movement up and down is completely dependent on the flexion and extension of the legs, which is funny and pitiful.

Well, let's wait for him to climb a little longer, Julia thought, and at the speed of her own slump, she might step on his head.

Four-fifths of the way down, Julia heard a "clang", the sound of a man falling to the ground. She scrambled and slid faster, until at last she almost slipped out and jumped to the ground.

As she expected, Yin Zhen fell to the ground, his face was gray, and his nose was bleeding.

Julia was so frightened that she quickly helped him up and asked in a loud voice, "How is it?!" ”

"Nothing, in the end...... Didn't catch it. He whispered, wiping his nosebleed with his sleeve, "It's finally down." ”

"Hmmm! Not bad! Julia praised, "It's amazing that a fear of heights can climb down from such a height!" ”

"I told you that I don't have a fear of heights!" Yin Zhen stood up and glared at her fiercely.

Because of the zombies gathering in front of them, they couldn't go back the way they came, so they had to keep going. After two days of searching, the bags on the two of them were loaded with a lot of things, and they were heavy. Therefore, it is no longer the same as at the beginning, hungry and hungry, and what to catch, but Yin Zhen is still not satisfied.

"Why aren't there any shops that sell books?" He repeatedly asked, "Why are there so many food shops, but none of them have books?" ”

"That's because the people take food as their sky, and I haven't heard that the people take books as their sky." Julia gave him a blank look, "You still want to find a book?" Just now, I almost put my life on the line to find a book. I still haven't given up......"

"I said it, that person couldn't have come to kill me." Yin Zhen retorted sullenly, "I have no enemies. ”

"I don't have it either, maybe you provoked the enemy, you don't even know it."

"Impossible!"

At that time, the two of them walked in the middle of the long abandoned commercial street, and the sunset gradually sinking in the west stretched their shadows into a slender strip, and the golden red twilight reflected the colorful and old colored windows on both sides, the light was dim, and the contours of each other's faces began to blur, like an unclear crayon drawing.

Julia changed her shoulder and turned to look at Yin Zhen: "Really, maybe you did something hurtful, I don't know if you have caused people particularly badly?" None of them? ”

As soon as she said this, Yin Zhen's footsteps stopped, and his face showed a little hesitation: "...... If you want to say that it is particularly miserable, it is not nothing. ”

"Look! I said yes. What have you done to people? ”

"As soon as the official position is pushed to the end, the family property is confiscated from the treasury, and the wife and children are ......"

Julia almost screamed!

"You still say you didn't hurt anyone! You've done so badly! ”

"Can you blame me!" Yin Zhen snorted, "Who called him corrupt?" Who called him dereliction of duty? Who called him a kingless man? ”

Julia muttered, "I see, you are from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection." ”

“…… Even those people can't afford to run and kill me, huh? Yin Zhen was puzzled, "Those are all waste eggs who can't even walk away from people, how can they grab a light machine gun and shoot me?" ”

Julia sighed: "Don't guess, it's getting dark, find a place to rest." ”

They found a dry cleaner, and together they pushed the heavy counter to the plastic steel door, against which they were pressing. The storefront was not small, and it was piled with fabrics such as clothes curtains, and Julia lifted the outermost layer of dust, revealing a tall pile of snow-white bedspreads.

"Let's sleep here tonight, it's a little shabby, but it's warm enough." As she spoke, she slammed open the huge laundry machine and tucked the thick curtains in layers.

"You sleep here." Julia stretched out her finger, "Don't worry, there is no electricity, it is absolutely safe." ”

Yin Zhen took a look, and he muttered, "Live like a snail shell." ”

However, while sharing dinner, the two found a problem: there was only one bottle of water left.

"Gotta find it." Julia said, "Without water, we won't be able to survive tomorrow." ”

Julia had planned to go out and find water on her own, saying that there were some small grocery stores along the street, and there was always stocked unopened mineral water. Yin Zhen disagreed, saying that he was going too.

"So be it." Julia thought for a moment, "It's getting dark, let's look for the two ends of the street, I'll go to this end and you will go to the other, and if you find it, you'll come back here." ”

The two of them were ready, Julia gave the gun to Yin Zhen, and she was holding the Paran machete. Coming out of the dry cleaners, she looked up at the sun, as if it was not sinking.

Time is pressing, we have to hurry up, and when it gets dark, it will be impossible to find mineral water.

Walking cautiously along the empty streets, after walking for a short time, Julia found a medium-sized grocery store, about seventy or eighty square meters in it, she looked inside, things were very messy, there was a mirror in the door of the store that had broken the corner, and in the sunset, despite the dust, the mirror was still very bright.

Julia stepped forward, and she found a rag and carefully wiped the mirror clean.

In the glorious sunset, everything in the mirror seemed to be plated with a layer of gold, including her, all of them were shining gold.

Julia slipped her hand into her pocket, her fingertips touching a small object.

The CD that Yin Jin gave her is still inside.

With a slight movement in her heart, Julia pulled out her lipstick, she gently twisted the lid open, dipped a little with her fingertips, and wiped it on her lips in the mirror.

It's beautiful, the red lips are clearly reflected in the mirror, the surrounding dilapidated buildings gradually dissolve in the twilight, and in the mirror, only the woman with lipstick is smiling.

Like a dream......

At that moment, Julia saw a figure flash in the corner of the mirror!

Her heart almost skipped a beat!

Bending down quickly and crouching into the corner, Julia looked warily across the street.

A man, a living person, was walking less than fifty meters from her!

On the man's shoulder, he was carrying a light machine gun!

Julia's heart is going to jump out!

At this moment, it is impossible to escape, it is too close, and the slightest movement of her will be noticed by the person. Julia thought about it and decided to hide in the store first.

With the lightest steps, tiptoeing into the grocery store, Julia hid behind a row of crooked shelves, and she didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere!

Outside the house, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and it stopped at the door of the store!

Oh, my God! Is he going to come in?!

The sweat on her forehead ran down her cheeks to the corners of her mouth, and Julia was so nervous that she could hear her heartbeat! Is the man really going to come in? Did he find her trails, or, like her, simply searching for items?!

Footsteps are getting closer, from the door, to the store.

Julia quietly clenched the machete in her hand.

The footsteps stopped, followed by a softer sound that circled the nearby shelf.

Could it be that this person is really just looking for something? Julia secretly prayed that it would be better for him to get what he wanted and leave quickly, and not to look inside.

However, at this moment, behind her, a cold gun was pressed against her head.

Julia stopped breathing!

In the dark, the man whispered: "What about the fourth?" ”
