Episode 6 I Can't Sleep

I woke up suddenly, reached out to grab the gun, Su Wan quickly held me down, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, it's me." I looked at her straight for a long time, finally exhaled and slowly put the gun down.

It was already very dark, and it was surprisingly cold in the workshop. In northern cities, every household is heated, and the city heating system supplies hot water to each household. The hot water is not drinkable, but flows through pipes into the radiators of every household to keep people warm and cold.

Now it is estimated that the boiler burners have also gone crazy, the hot water in the radiator has lost its temperature, and the room is immediately as cold as on the street. Although Dalian is the southernmost city in Northeast China, it is impossible to have the extreme low temperature of minus 50 or 60 degrees like the Arctic Village, but after all, it is also the north, and days of minus 10 degrees are still very common.

Su Wan walked over and woke up the fat man, and said, "It's getting dark, you get the electric heater right." He turned back to me and said, "As soon as it gets dark, zongzi will pop up in large numbers to find food, we have to be vigilant, the night time is the saddest." ”

I nodded, wanting to check my weapon, but I didn't expect my hands and feet to freeze, so I didn't listen to the call, and quickly rubbed my hands vigorously, trying to warm up as soon as possible. Suddenly remembered Xiao Yu'er, and hurriedly looked up, only to see the fat man's down jacket covering Xiao Yu'er's body, and the little face under the clothes was sleeping sweetly. I don't know if it's because of drinking, Xiao Yu'er's face is red and cute.

The fat man didn't know where to find an electric heater, plugged it in and started it. It seems that there is no problem with the power system for the time being, but we don't dare to turn on the electric lights, for fear that the lights will attract those rice dumplings (the question that the power system is not completely paralyzed will be answered in detail later, so let's skip the story).

The fat man took out four cans of meat and put them on the electric heater to heat them up. After a while, I felt that it was almost over, so he sent one to me and Su Wan, and he kept two for himself. glanced at me and Su Wan, sniffed, and said embarrassedly: "We don't know how long we can live, so don't let me be hungry again." "He's so big, it's really too little to eat a can of food at a meal.

After eating, it was completely dark, and only the electric heater light in the room emitted a faint red light.

The red light of the electric heater is so faint that it is almost the same as nothing, which can only ensure that we will not knock it over when we are active, and it cannot be used for lighting at all.

A few of us just sat quietly in the dark, and it didn't feel good. Fortunately, the electric heater slowly worked, and it was not so cold.

The fat man coughed dryly and whispered, "Let's say something, how do you feel like you're waiting for death." He looked at me and asked, "Old flower, are you scared silly?" Why have you been crying with a sad face since you came back? Weren't you quite impassioned when you were about to go out to save people? How do you go out and turn around in a short circle and become wilted eggplant? ”

"Hungry...... How can I say that......" I adjusted the order of my language, because I really didn't know how to express the confusion in my mind at the moment, and said: "You also know that I write novels, and although I am not very famous, if I want to be a good writer, I must at least practice a keen sense of observation. ”

Su Wan nodded and said, "You're right, many novelists have trained their eyesight hard. I have heard that the famous French novelist Maupassant had a very good eye, and he could pull out a horse out of 500 horses and point out the difference between this horse and the other 499 horses. ”

"So powerful?!" The fat man praised from the bottom of his heart: "What Maupassant, not being a cultural relics appraiser is really a big loss for the archaeological community." After a pause, he added: "It's a pity that this ability is useless for me to learn fat, whether it is a long eggplant or a round eggplant, as long as it can be diced, in my opinion, it is a good eggplant." ”

Su Wan glanced at the fat man and said, "Don't interrupt ......" and turned back to me and asked, "Lao Hua, what strange things have you seen?" ”

I swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "Do you remember that when that big dumpling nodded at the door, his face fell to the ground because it was so rotten? Saying that, the scene at that time was really disgusting and terrifying, and Su Wan and the fat man couldn't forget it at all, so they didn't need to answer, so I continued: "I saw it very clearly at that time, and his eyeballs also fell off together...... But," I said, "but the big zongzi was not only able to walk to the window accurately and find a large number of zongzi downstairs, but also wrote those sets of numbers on the wall...... His eyeballs are gone, so what did he 'see' through? ”

The fat man gasped and said, "Not bad! His eyeballs are indeed ......"

I took a breath and finally made the astonishing discovery: "I saw a pale gray light in his eyes!" At that time, the flesh and skin of his whole body were rotten, and the only part that was not yet rotten was probably the brain hidden in the skull. Let's assume that his brain is not broken, then it is not surprising that he can understand us, after all, the ears are gone, and the ear holes are still there. But when his eyeballs are gone, what does he use to see things? I was very strange at the time, so I looked at his eyes and found that there was a pale gray light in his eye sockets, and that pale gray light should be a substitute for his eyes. ”

The fat man said dissatisfiedly: "Even if everything you say makes sense, then with a brain that is not broken, plus a pair of dry bones, you can run all over the ground, and it will save the lives of the three of us?" "Although the human skeleton is a scaffold to support the body, the bone is not a complete piece, and many bone components are separated from the skeleton, such as the patella (the round bone on the knee). A skeleton of bones, even if it can move, it will fall apart after a few steps, how can you kill zombies with your bare hands?

Su Wan took out the police's style of handling the case and said: "Now let's not pursue how Da Zongzi can still move, we should now accept the reality that he can indeed move, and then prepare for our next move." ”

"Da Zongzi doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us," I sniffed and said, "but it's hard to say why he treated us like that, and what his purpose was, and maybe he had other purposes." Now that everything has changed, let's not be too honest. ”

Su Wan agreed with me and said, "The three sets of numbers left by the big zongzi when they left for us are obviously the three families in the residential building opposite. As long as we survive tonight, then tomorrow we will say that we will save those people. ”

Because there is an important task tomorrow, it is necessary to rest. Su Wan arranged for the three of us to take turns on duty and keep vigil. Since I'm a newbie, I'm scheduled to keep the first shift. Su Wan and the fat man lay down in clothes, and they didn't know if they were asleep, ********** kept practicing how to load bullets and how to hold a gun.

Soon I heard the sound of people running in the street outside the door, and the footsteps became more and more dense, and there were hissing screams and crackling glass everywhere. Soon after, a woman's cry for help could be faintly heard in the distance. I knew that the street outside was now full of large and small rice dumplings, and I couldn't rescue the crying woman at all, but knowing this, I still couldn't help it. I kept reminding myself that it wasn't that I couldn't save people when I saw death, but that I didn't have the ability to save people now. In the end, I simply pretended not to hear anything, and my heart calmed down a little.

The situation that night can only be described as thrilling, until the fat man got up to change shifts, I was still there trembling in shock. The fat man comforted me a few words, and let me sleep on his bed, with a little fish on it, but anyway, I could lie down for a while.

I didn't sleep much in the second half of the night, and it wasn't until Su Wan got up to take duty for the fat man that I slept in a daze for a while. But it didn't take long to wake up again, and I heard the fat man snoring melodiously there. Su Wan asked in a low voice, "Awake?" ”

I smiled wryly, "I really didn't sleep well, but I really couldn't sleep either." ”

Su Wan pulled the chair to my side, sat down, and said, "If you can't sleep, don't sleep, talk to me...... I'm a little scared...... Don't laugh! ”

I quickly straightened my face and asked, "What do you want to hear?" "After graduating from college, I haven't made a girl happy for a long time, and I can't help but have a little stage fright.

"Say anything...... Su Wan smiled bitterly, although she is a policeman, but no one has ever stipulated that the police must not be afraid of anything. She paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I've heard of you too, and the fantasy novel is pretty well written...... By the way, you said that big zongzi, isn't it a bit like a skeleton soldier in Warcraft? ”

I hurriedly gave her a literacy and said, "There are no skeleton soldiers in Warcraft, and the concept of skeleton soldiers originated from "Heroes and Heroes". In the category of "Heroes and Invincible", the undead are classified into seven categories, the skeleton soldier is the lowest type of troops, and then up, in order, there are cold-blooded zombies, soul-destroying ghosts, vampire kings, corpse witch kings, and ghost knights, and the most advanced undead are bone dragons, and bone dragons are the bodies of dragons after death. ”

When Su Wan heard me say this, she couldn't help but say, "We have now encountered zombies and skeleton soldiers, and I don't know if the next one is the Soul Slayer Ghost or the Vampire King." ”

I knew it wasn't possible, but I shivered in horror. I guess Su Wan should be as scared as I was, because she unconsciously leaned her upper body on my shoulder. I hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't be cranky, ghosts only exist in legends and online texts, and they can't really appear in the real world." It's just a tangible and insubstantial mist that can absorb the enemy's mana......" I thought about it, this was not comforting at all, and even vaguely contained a sense of intimidation, so I quickly changed my words: "Don't be afraid, we are not mages, and we don't have mana to suck the ghost...... Just in case, I will get an electric fan or vacuum cleaner tomorrow to come back for backup. ”

Su Wan was stunned and asked, "Electric fan?" Vacuum cleaner? What is it for? ”

I laughed and said, "I've told you everything, the ghost is just a cloud of mist, if we pity it, we can open the vacuum cleaner and put it in its pocket; If you see that he is awkward, you can use an electric fan to turn on the maximum air volume and blow it away directly. ”

"Hehehe......" Su Wan laughed when she heard this, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and looked nervously in the direction of the gate, for fear that the zongzi walking on the street would hear it.

After about eight o'clock, we were ready to stop, fed the little fish some beer, and watched her get drunk...... Well, after falling asleep, I rechecked my weapon. Su Wan and I each have a shotgun, bullets, and guns, and the fat man is still two kitchen knives. I also asked Su Wan, why didn't you two have one gun when I didn't come, but you carried two guns on your back, and the answer I got was that the fat man's marksmanship was not good, and he could miss the target at a distance of twenty meters.

The morning sun has spread all over the earth, we looked out through the gap in the roller shutter door, and after confirming that there was no danger, we slowly opened the roller shutter door one meter high, and the three of us looked out again, and couldn't help but be stunned.

On the steps at the entrance of the savings office, there was a small pile of munitions! Including five pistols, a Type 56 submachine gun, a whole bunch of bullets, and even a couple of grenades.

The fat man cheered, and copied the five or six submachine guns, fiddling with a smile. It was like an old cat seeing a salted fish, and Su Wan didn't stop him in person.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, Su Wan gestured to me, and the three of us divided the pile of arms on the spot. Because the fat man has a submachine gun, the submachine gun bullets belong to him as a matter of course. Fortunately, the fat man is easier to be content, after having a submachine gun, the pistol will not fight with us, so five pistols, Su Wan and I divided two of them, and the remaining one went to the fat man, as for the remaining shotgun, bullets, guns and bullets, naturally Su Wan and I divided them equally.

After these things were divided, there were only three grenades left, and the fat man smiled: "There are exactly three grenades, so we don't have to fight, just take one of them." "This guy wasn't stupid, he picked the biggest one and put it in his pocket. Su Wan glanced at me with a smile, and after building the grenade, she divided one of them, and then said to the fat man: "You are tear gas, you can only use it under special circumstances, don't waste it." The fat man's face suddenly became very funny, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Huh?" I suddenly noticed that there was a shard of glass the size of a fan on the steps, because the glass was transparent, so everyone didn't pay attention, and at this time I picked it up, and I saw clearly that there was still handwriting on it.

Actually, it's not handwriting, it's just three sets of numbers: 302, 501, 702. To our surprise, on the 702 set of numbers, someone gave a red cross.

I nodded and said, "I understand what's going on, these weapons were all brought to us by that big zongzi, and the information on this piece of glass tells us that 702, who originally thought there were survivors, is no longer alive in it." ”

"Haha," the fat man was proud, "our big dumpling skeleton soldier buddy is really powerful, with him providing us with weapons and information, we will definitely be able to do things." ”

Su Wan didn't bother to correct the fat man for using the wrong idiom, and beckoned us to act quickly.

The fat man drove the speeding car and pulled us all the way to the place where we met the big zongzi yesterday. Then we realized that the entrance to the target building was in the other direction. So the fat man reversed and turned left again, and turned from the empty space of the building to the front door of the unit in that building.

I looked at the nearby environment, couldn't help but be stunned, took a closer look, nodded and said: "The information given to us by Dazongzi should not be wrong, there is indeed no one in 702 of this building." ”

The fat man squinted at me and asked, "Do you have clair?" ”

I rolled his eyes and said, "This building is the building I rent, and 702 is my home." ”

The fat man grabbed his submachine gun and jumped out of the car, saying, "That's much easier, the task will be automatically reduced by one-third." It's started! After finishing the work, I have to get milk powder and electric fans. ”

When Su Wan heard this, the roots of her neck turned red, and then she realized that the fat man didn't sleep much last night, and the words she said to me, the fat man must have heard it more clearly than me.

"I'll play the striker, the fat man is behind, the goal is 302, go!" After Su Wan finished speaking, she walked into the corridor first, I quickly followed, and the fat man muttered behind him: "Can't we fix the revolutionary post~"

Several houses on the first and second floors, the security doors were destroyed by something, and in such a situation, we didn't bother to go in and check again, and came directly to the door of 302.

The security door of this house was still intact, and after Su Wan knocked lightly, she whispered: "Hey! Is there anyone in there? We are here to save you, please open the door. ”

Su Wan shouted several times in succession, but there was no response in 302. The fat man got annoyed and fired two shots at the keyhole, and we immediately heard a woman's scream coming from inside the room.

Su Wan hurriedly pushed the fat man and said angrily, "What are you doing?" What if you accidentally injure someone inside? "The penetration of submachine gun bullets is very powerful, and the two layers of iron sheets of ordinary security doors cannot block the impact of bullets, in case a bullet that passes through the door hits the people in the house, then it can also kill people.

The fat man then remembered that he had done something reckless, and he only scratched his face in embarrassment. I hurriedly said, "Don't talk about this now, let's go in and have a look." ”

Su Wan glanced at the fat man again, stretched out her hand and opened the door, but as soon as the door opened, someone inside the door hit her fiercely with a big stick.

Su Wan opened the door with one hand and held a gun in the other, there was no way to resist it, the fat man had already retreated to the back because of the training, I didn't see clearly whether the people inside were zongzi or not, and I didn't dare to shoot, so I hurriedly took the shotgun, bullet, and gun as a burning stick, and under the first gear, the big stick smashed the ******, "Touch!" "Suddenly, the shotgun, the bullet, the gun went off!
