Predator Chapter 15 - Dark Shadows Outside the Courtyard Walls

The sun rises early in summer, so when Song Xiaocheng returned home, the sunlight was about to shrink out of the balcony.

Girlfriend Xiao Yu sat in front of the sofa and ate omelette and bread as usual.

"You still know where you're back?" Xiao Yu shouted in an explosive voice that was seriously inconsistent with her slender and soft size.

Song Xiaocheng stared at the morgue in the van for half the night, and had a free fight with zombies, following Cui Wei and Gao He until dawn. As soon as I entered the house at this time, the nerves that had been tense all night finally relaxed, and my eyelids looked like they couldn't hold it at any time.

Hearing Xiao Yu's reprimand, Song Xiaocheng drooped his glasses, glanced at her through the entrance, and said half-dead:

"Be sensible, how about being like a normal person......

Like a normal person. This is probably Song Xiaocheng's greatest hope for Lin Yu at present.

As he spoke, he kicked off his shoes and walked into the bedroom barefoot, stripped off his clothes three or two times, and smashed his head on the pillow.

Ah, the sheets were warm and kind, and the pillows gave off a familiar scent.

Not two seconds after lying down, when Song Xiaocheng was already half-asleep, his mobile phone rang.

It is the human resources department of the company.

"Right...... I'm sorry...... Yes, it's urgent...... Okay, I'll go through the resignation procedures the day after tomorrow. ”

If you really go back to work at this time, Song Xiaocheng really feels sorry. A small part of the reason is that, as a superhero with a mission to save the world, he feels that going back to work and writing a plan or something is a waste of time and energy for him. Isn't it necessary for superheroes to have a serious job to hide people's eyes? Come on, this is not a superhero comic, this is the real world, and there is no need to come up with so many weird settings that are deeply poisoned.

And the main reason is that Song Xiaocheng is really sleepy now, so sleepy that he is about to fall asleep with his eyes closed before he puts down his mobile phone.

"You're not going to work today, are you?"

Lin Yu brutally punched Song Xiaocheng's buttocks, and Song Xiaocheng was so shocked that he turned over.

"I'm a**!uhh......hh Lin Yu, didn't you have any good dreams last night?"

"Don't come with me! Song Xiaocheng, didn't you go to work yesterday? You didn't have enough rest on the weekend, did you? Where did you go to the wild last night? Can you take a little heart? Look at your little spittle salary......

Perhaps, this is what life after marriage is like this, right? Why did I want this kind of life when I was fifteen years old?

While casually perfunctory, he was half-truthful and angry, and at the same time carefully covered it up, and it took about five minutes for Song Xiaocheng to finally send Lin Yu out. Although the voice of the girlfriend in the end was already a little crying, and the sound of slamming the door was not quite right, but ...... Whatever!, right?

Anyway, I can finally sleep peacefully!

However, the phone rang again.

It's Song Xiaocheng's mother.

"Hey, old lady......"

I don't remember when it started, and I can't tell why, Song Xiaocheng called his mother "sister" and his father "Brother Song". He thinks this may be a kind of unconventional sense of humor.

"Mom, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

"Okay. ”

"Okay. By the way, you haven't been to the hospital lately, have you?"

Song Xiaocheng opened his eyes suddenly.

"Nope. What's wrong?"

"Oh...... It's good if you don't have it I've heard from a few colleagues that a lot of hospitals have been haunted lately!"

Are a lot of hospitals haunted? Even square dancing aunts know about this?

"Fake, right? Who did you listen to?"

"You don't care who I listen to, Mom told you, you have to be careful lately, don't meddle in things. The world hasn't been peaceful lately!"

This last sentence seems to have some meaning. If it weren't for Song Xiaocheng knowing, his mother has always been so idle, and he would even have to doubt it.

After another mess of coping, I finally hung up the phone. Song Xiaocheng simply turned off his mobile phone and began to sleep with peace of mind. It was a very sound sleep, until a knock on the door woke him up.

This kind of life may be very good, Song Xiaocheng thinks that Lin Yu goes to work, sleeps at home, and Lin Yu comes home at night and goes out to save the world. At least then you won't witness Lin Yu sleepwalking in the middle of the night.

He's a god, that scene is exciting to think about!

However, in recent times, Song Xiaocheng has seen a lot of excitement. After all, he has already been told that in the near future, he will witness an even more exciting event.

Tonight's moonlight may not be beautiful. Song Xiaocheng sat in the back seat of Gao He's tattered seven-seat business bread, guessing what was about to happen.

"Do you have Xiao Li's share tonight?"

"Nope. Just the three of us. ”

"Or the morgue door?"

"No, it's more convenient to change to a different place. ”

The more convenient place is actually the other side of the courtyard wall last night. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is indeed quite convenient, at least there is no need to climb through the hospital walls covered with glass slag.

Outside the courtyard wall is an open mound, standing up, except for the haze and some low and sparse houses and courtyard walls, the view is unobstructed, only a patch of weeds and thorns. The mound on this side of the courtyard wall is a little higher than the floor of the hospital, so from the outside, the courtyard wall is even lower, about a little taller than one person.

Gao He, Cui Wei, Song Xiaocheng, and the ghost catcher trio randomly found a small piece of place on the mound, and squatted down side by side, about a hundred meters away from the hospital wall, and on the other side of the courtyard wall, it was the parking lot last night. If there were corpses running out of it tonight, then the three of them would definitely see it.

The sun sets late in the summer. After the three of them squatted for nearly an hour, Song Xiaocheng couldn't squat, so he simply sat on the ground. Dry loess is not hard, soft or not, but at least it is much stronger than squatting. While the three of them were chatting nonsense, Gao He and Cui Wei also took advantage of the last rays of sunset to smoke their last cigarettes.

The curtain of night finally fell.

The noise of the night is different from the noise of the day. Immersing yourself in the city life, which is neatly and strictly divided from the glass curtain wall to the schedule, and the urban nightlife that is full of lights, wine, wine, and gold fans, is not only the direction of the dreams of hundreds of millions of people, but also destroys the countless dreams of hundreds of millions of other people.

Song Xiaocheng, who was sitting on the yellow earth, looked up at the night sky without any starlight, and only a bay of crescent moon was lying there. Bored, he rubbed his mobile phone for a while, and whispered to Gao He for a while. Although Cui Wei rarely spoke, Gao He was a talkative person, chatting with Song Xiaocheng about history and science, food and beautiful women, and even talked with great interest about his own military life when he was young, and how he later participated in international operations and joined the Earth Defense Organization.

"Although the country also sent me, Earth Defense is an international organization after all, and our work is not so convenient. You can see this from our offices and cars. Gao He smiled and said, "That's why I tell you, don't easily involve the local security personnel." It's going to make it hard for us. For a few months last year, we lost even the legitimacy to carry weapons. ”

"**, it's miserable. I'm fine, it would have been too exciting last night if you didn't have weapons. ”

"It doesn't matter, no matter what, Cui Wei is still there. ”

This statement somewhat aroused Song Xiaocheng's curiosity. In fact, he was a little curious from the morning about how Gao He and Cui Wei controlled the living corpse. Now it seems that most of it should be due to Cui Wei. Song Xiaocheng had a feeling before, Cui Wei was probably not as simple as it seemed, and the last time he fought with him, I am afraid that there was a mystery in it. But he still thinks that this kind of thing is better not to ask in person.

In this way, until the second half of the night, the bustle and hustle and bustle in the distance became more and more calm, and the chatting between Song Xiaocheng and Gao He gradually became thin, and sometimes they were even suppressed by the crickets. However, even so, the two still had to be reminded by Cui Wei.

"There's movement. Cui Wei's voice was very small, but it was as clear as a hammer hitting the rails, ringing in his ears.

Song Xiaocheng hurriedly raised his head and looked towards the hospital wall, but was pressed down by Gao He's head. At the same time, one of Gao He's fingers pointed in the opposite direction.

It's not far from them, only about fifty meters or so. A dark figure stood quietly. From the silhouette, it can be seen that this person is still wearing jeans, and the upper body should be a hoodie sweatshirt. Motionless, not uttering, just staring at them from afar.

In fact, Song Xiaocheng couldn't figure out whether the person was facing away from them or facing them. He also couldn't figure out when the figure was standing there, how long had he been standing there, and why hadn't he noticed him at all?

Song Xiaocheng looked at the black shadow, and the hood of the black shadow's sweatshirt was still on his head. On a summer night in the wilderness that is slightly away from the urban heat island, although there is a cool breeze, the heat of midsummer is still there. In such weather, wearing such clothes, the person in front of him is really weird.

In this way, Song Xiaocheng stared directly at the head of the black shadow, and he felt that those eyes were also staring at him. Gao He and Cui Wei didn't say a word, just squatted on the ground, staring at the black shadow quietly. The two sides confronted each other like this. For ten minutes, Song Xiaocheng felt that he couldn't help it a few times, and wanted to rush up to see the true face of the black shadow, but he was persuaded by Gao He.

Although Gao He persuaded Song Xiaocheng, he took out a cigarette case from his shirt pocket and lit one with Cui Wei and himself.

After another minute or two, the hooded shadow finally turned sideways and walked away from them.

But Song Xiaocheng's gaze was still inseparable from the black shadow, and he even stared more attentively and carefully, refusing to take his eyes off at all.

Because, step by step, the black shadow was walking towards the hospital wall.
