Chapter VI Management Building

86_86324 I was still standing still, looking at the corpse's empty eyes and thinking deeply, Duan Ke called me several times before calling me back to my senses.

I turned around and saw that Duan Ke was standing in a car, more than ten meters away from me, waving his hand to signal me to pass. She looked anxious, wondering if she was in trouble. I looked back at the corpse and saw that there were still a lot of cars parked around, the kind of SWAT in the movie.

I really wanted to go over and find out, but I thought that Duan Ke needed me right now, after all, I had only known her for a few hours, and I couldn't ignore her. So I strode over several corpses under my feet, then jumped on the hood of a car and walked towards her.

"That's too much." She covered her nose with one hand and pointed to the corpse under the car, "I want to get out of here quickly." ”

Looking at the way she frowned and spoke, it was a little flattering.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

She pointed to a building next to the toll booth and said, "It should be cleaner there." ”

I looked at the building, which was supposed to be an office building at a toll booth, and I could see at a glance that it had the style of a government building. If there are no corpses inside, it is certainly an ideal resting place. The sky overhead is getting darker, and many things become troublesome after dark, and you can't stay here any longer.

"Let's go, then." I said, and then stepped over to the top of the other car and led the way towards the building, completely forgetting about the cars.

It was like stepping on the stones in the river to cross the river, Duan Ke and I jumped three steps and half a step across the group of cars, walked a concrete downhill road, and came to the office building.

The office building is three or four stories high, and there is a small parking lot next to it, where several cars are parked. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, the tiles on the office building shimmer gold, and although it is not dazzling, it is already charming for two people who have been walking on the highway for a few days.

The glass door at the door was unlocked, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

"Anyone?" Duan Ke stepped forward and suddenly yelled inside. There was not even a reply to her. I gave her a blank look, pulled a flashlight out of my backpack, and shot it inside the door. Inside the door was a hall, and all kinds of things were scattered all over the place, except for chaos and chaos. We walked in, and the sound of the soles of our shoes hitting the floor tiles echoed through the hall. Although the rancid smell is much less, you can still smell a musty smell and dust.

Sweeping the hall several times with a flashlight, it was clear that this was not a good place to stay, but there were two stairs leading to the second floor in the center. Duan Ke and I walked up and found that the situation here was even worse than the hall downstairs, the corridor was full of leftover instant noodle boxes and all kinds of household garbage, and I even saw a few dead people sitting in the corner at the end of the corridor.

As soon as the humans left, it was obvious that this place became a paradise for rats and all kinds of insects, and a few rats ran towards the garbage heap with their eyes shining under the light of my flashlight, and several cockroaches crawled in a panic in the garbage heap in the corner of the wall a few steps away. Our arrival disrupted their peaceful lives, and sure enough, insects and rats are the true masters of the earth.

I was about to see if Duan Ke was frightened, and found that she had gone up to the third floor.

I followed. The third floor is in much better condition than the downstairs, and although there are quite a few papers falling in the hallway, it is already very clean. Duan Ke didn't have a flashlight, and was groping for the door on the wall with his hands in the dark. What a strange girl, afraid of cockroaches and mice, but not afraid of the dark.

"Miss, which room would you like to stay in?" I said to Duan Ke in the tone of a hotel waiter.

She was really acting, and she withdrew her hand from the door, holding her pointed chin with her hand, and looked at each locked door with care. Duan Ke walked through the left and right corridors, and finally pointed to a room at the end of the corridor and said, "This is it." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." I looked at the door and said.

I pushed the door and it was locked. But fortunately, it was a wooden door, I took the flashlight to Duan Ke, took two steps back, charged my legs, and kicked the door open with one kick.

"Please come in." I said, thinking that kicking the door is so simple, it seems that walking more can also strengthen the body.

Duan Ke exclaimed as soon as she entered the door, and I followed in, she was sweeping around the room with a flashlight. The flashlight was swaying wildly by her, and it was not easy for me to see the situation in the room. We went into a tidy office.

Duan Ke turned to me and smiled, took out a green piece of paper from his pocket and put it in the pocket of my shirt on my chest. I took it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be a 50 yuan bill. I looked at the now-worthless green bill and couldn't stop laughing.

I pulled out the candle and lit it on my desk, then sat down on the couch. A wave of boredom hit, and I thought that this room should have been sealed for a long time, so I walked to the windowsill to open the window to let in some air. The cacophony of metal grinding as I opened the window frame reminded me of my mistake, and I could see the toll booth as I looked out and the smell of rancid smell wafted in with the wind. Anyway, I'd rather stink to death than be suffocated.

Duan Ke was arranging his small backpack by candlelight. I leaned over and asked, "Do you have anything to eat, I only have enough for one person in my bag." ”

She nodded, then pulled out three boxes of instant noodles from her bag and placed them on her desk.

"I got it in my dorm when I left school, and I never got a chance to eat it." She frowned, "No hot water." ”

Watching her sigh at a few boxes of instant noodles stimulated my most primitive instincts. "As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties." I patted her on the shoulder and said to her. I walked around this office of about 20 square meters with a candle and found that there are all kinds of living facilities such as toilets, sofas, computers, etc., but there is no kitchen. The whole room is the way the owner just left, yes, the owner even took the water glass on the desk. I went into the bathroom again, but unfortunately it was just a toilet, because apart from the extra mirror hanging on the wall, all that was left was the toilet.

In the end, I took a fancy to a pot of cactus balls on my desk. The porcelain containing the cactus balls was about the size of a bowl, and I used Duan Ke's fruit knife to rip the cactus out of the clay pot and washed the sand from the inside with half a bottle of mineral water. Fortunately, the most I have in my backpack is mineral water. Then I took out two new candles and filled the pot with water and heated it on the flame of the candle.

Duan Ke tore open the instant noodles on the side, and looked at me with his chin folded together. The whole process was very long and painful, with one hand holding sore and then the other. It can't be helped, you have to endure more pain in life with a girl by your side, I comforted myself.

To be honest, it was the first time I had a hot meal in a few weeks, and despite the low temperature and the smell of sand, I was quite satisfied. After the last bowl of noodle soup, I sat down in the leather office chair in front of my desk, lit a cigarette and smoked. Duan Ke complained about the smell of smoke, so I moved my chair to the windowsill and opened the window a little wider.

There are also several pieces of clothing hanging on the hanger in the corner, which can be used to make quilts. I wanted to say that the owner of the clothes might die downstairs, do you dare to use it, but I thought that I might have to use it later, so I swallowed the words back.

Looking out the window, the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds, but I could still make out the outline of the toll booth. I looked at it, and the toll booth where there were countless vehicles a few months ago was now frozen together with countless vehicles in the dark night, like a picture framed on a windowsill.

Will this scene in front of me freeze there forever, I sighed, and turned my head to find Duan Ke sitting on the sofa opposite looking at me. I also puffed out a cigarette and focused my eyes on her, thinking that this girl wouldn't like me because of instant noodles. After more than ten seconds of eye contact, Duan Ke burst out laughing, and I laughed with her. I thought she would say a few words of thanks to me after laughing, but she suddenly lay down on the cushion and rolled in.

What a strange girl, I thought to myself, and got up and blew out the candle. The rancid wind from outside the window kept blowing in, making me subconsciously shrink my head into my neck. I counted the time again, and it should be November now.

If I go home, I will be able to get home tomorrow, thinking about the persistence of the past week, the story Duan Ke told today and the toll booth in front of me, whether it will be the same scene when I get home tomorrow, all kinds of thoughts make my mind numb.

"Today's instant noodles are the best I've ever tasted, thank you." Duan Ke faintly said a sentence that stopped all my thoughts.

"Hmm." I answered, and a warmth rose in my heart.

After taking my last puff, I closed the window and said to myself that I would rather suffocate than die cold
