Chapter 528: Night of Horror
PS: Thank you diguoxinren for voting for the monthly ticket
The convoy traveled westward for almost 20 minutes, and both sides of the road gradually became gloomy.
The survivors approached the suburbs again, Lao Xu looked at the time, and after a whole day of tossing, it was close to 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Considering that it was dark early in late autumn, Xu Renjie drove the car into the auxiliary road, and after crossing two streets, everyone finally chose a relatively secluded alley and drove in.
There are not many zombies in the alley, and there are small shops on both sides, most of which are for the supply and sale of several surrounding communities.
Tang Xiaoquan looked around, and then said to Xu Renjie in the driver's seat: "Old Xu, let's spend the night there tonight." β
Xu Renjie glanced at the young man's point and let him go, nodded indifferently, and then went over at a low speed.
Parking, opening the door, Tang Xiaoquan's chosen location is a merchant located in the middle of the alley.
The reason why this place was chosen is mainly because it is located in the center, so that it is convenient to watch the situation at both ends of the alley, so as not to be surrounded by the zombies that appear suddenly in the alley.
On the other hand, the store has two floors and a thick roller shutter on the outside, and the key is on the half-drawn door, so you only need to enter the store and close the roller shutter to ensure the safety of everyone at midnight.
"Wow! Baume & Mercier Salon! After getting out of the car, Wang Qiang raised his eyes and glanced at the shop sign on the top of his head, and couldn't help but secretly wonder: "It's a beauty salon again!" β
Thinking about the last trip to the hairdresser, if it weren't for his brother Tang Xiaoquan's rescue, he would have been buried in the mouth of the corpse.
"That's it! Hadron. Don't talk nonsense, you and Da Zhuang are guarding outside. The others followed me into the house to investigate. β
In other words, Xu Renjie is one step ahead. I felt that I was angry and stepped into the beauty store.
The shop is very large, about 80 square meters, and on the left and right sides of the room are two rows of professional hairdressing chairs and dressers, on which are placed all kinds of small scissors and combs for hairdressing, and because no one has cleaned them for a long time, the mirrors and seats are covered with a thick layer of dust.
The inside of the front is divided into a shampoo room, and the 4 flat hair washing sofas are placed flat on the ground, which is very luxurious.
Then there are some special equipment such as perms, hair dyeing and styling that are put on the sidelines in twos and threes.
I have to say. The scale of this place is much stronger than the barber shop that Tang Xiaoquan and they visited in the city for the first time.
As a result, everyone can't help but be surprised, can such a high-end beauty salon in a suburban county town return to its original cost?
However, the survivors then found the answer.
Lao Xu's gaze quickly swept around, and then fell on a shriveled corpse, and from its sunken cheekbones and round eyes, it was not difficult to infer that he should have suffered great pain when he died.
"This guy should be the clerk of this store." Hu Xiaodong stepped forward and picked up the number plate scattered next to the dead body, and the word 009 was engraved with a red pen on the front: "It seems that there are many employees in this store." Let's be careful! β
The crowd nodded, and then scattered, scrutinizing every corner of the store.
After the first floor was checked, Lao Xu instructed: "Li Zhong." Xiao Zhang, you two carry the dead body out, Xiao Tang, Xiao Hu. Let's go upstairs and investigate! β
After more than 4 months of air drying, the corpses on the ground had already dried up to the point that only skin and bones remained. Not to mention his miserable appearance, just the bare wrinkled skin. There are countless holes on it, and it is not a hot summer day at this time, otherwise the maggots inside will have already broken out of their eggs and scattered all over the ground.
But Rao is like this, and it still makes people can't bear to be sick.
Bypassing the cash register, Lao Xu took Hu Xiaodong and Tang Xiaoquan to open a closed door inside.
Because of the previous curtain raid on the Bow and Arrow Pavilion, Hu Xiaodong stopped Xu Renjie's actions when he was about to open the door.
When the bow is ready to draw the string, he signals the latter to open the door.
The back of the door was normal, and there was no unusual sound.
So, Hu, Xu, and Tang walked up with a strange talent.
A damp musty smell came from the second floor, and the three people who choked were a little uncomfortable.
Tang Xiaoquan, who was behind the palace, hurriedly opened the window at the end of the aisle, and with the fresh air blowing in, it suddenly made the lungs of several people feel better.
This is the beauty salon's beauty salon, a 10-meter-long corridor divided into a total of 6 private rooms, each with a bed, and the walls next to the bed are all pasted with treatment price lists.
Of course, for Xu Renjie and the others, they naturally don't know what these nursing terms represent, but one thing is for sure, they don't have to lay on the floor tonight.
The three of them carefully inspected the entire 2nd floor, and after all of them were confirmed that there was no abnormality, Lao Xu beckoned everyone to carry the necessary daily necessities into the house.
Then the roller shutter was closed, and the entire floor was plunged into darkness.
However, this is not surprising to the survivors who have long since adapted to this situation in the last days.
After entering the house, the survivors rested separately, while Lao Xu took out the special survival pot for the field to cook instant noodles for everyone.
As the minutes passed, the night gradually darkened, and the beauty salon, which was already dim and abnormal, was still pitch black, except for the cooking stove under the survival pot emitting a little fire.
Hu Xiaodong took out the candles in the material bag, lit 2, and placed them in the center of the hall.
A small flame brought some light and warmth to the bleak midnight.
Soon, a quiet fragrance wafted out, and the survivors who had been busy all day swallowed their saliva involuntarily.
The survivors ate this meal very well, and during the banquet, Lao Xu made arrangements for tonight's night whistle.
After that, he took some bottles and jars that were placed in the store pΓΉ and placed them irregularly behind the roller shutter, so as to prevent unscrupulous "rats" from sneaking in at midnight.
Although this possibility is very small, it is habitual, and many years of military career have long made Xu Renjie develop a cautious style.
After all, it was under the dark light, and it was impossible for him to arrange a single person to stay on the first floor.
At the same time, the guards on guard upstairs could not guarantee that there was no time to take a nap after the night sank.
And if an enemy comes to attack at this time, it will be a big trouble.
So these small traps set up downstairs are good unmanned monitoring equipment.
If there is really a "foreign object" breaking in in the middle of the night, then "he" will definitely be very pleasantly surprised by the small gift that Xu Renjie prepared for him. (To be continued......)
