Volume 2, The Boundary of the Mirror 180, Let's Dance
"I'm a game-changer."
When Li Hao and Zhao Ji ran from the sightseeing restaurant on the top floor of the office building to the rainy night downstairs as fast as they could, they suddenly found that Zhuo Kairen appeared in front of them again.
The night rain is rustling, the temperature drops a lot compared to the day, and under the double cover of night and rain, many creatures become active. Plants are growing rapidly, rodents that used to hide in shady corners are expanding their territory, and predators are frequenting them.
Li Hao's sense of sight and hearing is very strong now, and even at night, he can see those frequently active small animals through the faint light, which makes him and Zhao Ji avoid them earlier, Li Hao doesn't know if these animals have been infected and mutated, but even if he is not afraid of infection now, it is safer to stay away from them.
Zombies are also active, but their activity is not the activity of entering a predatory state after discovering their prey, they are concentrated in an open place, drenched in rain, and it seems that the rain makes them feel happy.
There were a few times when Li Hao felt that the zombies had spotted them, and he clearly felt that many eyes were looking at them, but they seemed to be immersed in the pleasure brought by the rain, and did not show any special interest in them. After escaping from the office building, they turned into the alley behind the office building relatively smoothly, which was darker, but because of the cascading buildings, overpasses and additional buildings of the building, it could play a good role in sheltering from the rain, but it seemed that there was no trace of zombies in the alley at all.
However, as soon as they turned the corner, Li Hao and Zhao Ji saw Zhuo Kairen.
Li Hao also noticed that Zhuo Kairen was wearing a black windbreaker, and at this time, he didn't know where to get a pair of sunglasses to put on, making himself look like Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix". And, in the dark, his face appeared whiter, even pale, as if there was no blood under his skin.
"I'm a game-changer." Zhuo Kairen was obviously waiting for Li Hao and Zhao Ji here, and then he seemed to enjoy Li Hao's surprise at his sudden appearance, a smile appeared on his face, and said to Li Hao: "A weak chicken like you, letting you track me is a thing that doesn't have any chance of winning, this will be a very bad game experience." So, I'm going to change it. ”
Li Hao said angrily: "I think you'd better not waste your time, since you're so strong now, wouldn't it be better to help more people?" You should notice that zombies are getting weird now. As soon as he asked this question, he felt like he wanted to vomit, because this was what Zhao Ji asked him to say to Zhuo Kairen, and now he felt that Zhao Ji had a lot of problems with this girl, and the biggest problem was that he wanted to save the world at every turn.
Sure enough, Zhuo Kairen laughed, he didn't laugh out loud, but the expression on his face was unusually rich.
Indeed, except for the fact that zombies are becoming very weird, Li Hao feels that his question is too unintelligent. Even if the zombie becomes weird, there is no need to talk to Zhuo Kai, because he himself is weird enough.
After Zhuo Kairen laughed, he said lightly: "I said that the weak are not qualified to make requests. Listen, I've changed the rules of the game now, it's the same 24 hours, and if you don't get me to catch you, then you win. If you can win, I'll bring you Laixi. ”
Li Hao took a deep breath of the humid air on a rainy night and said, "This bet is good. Obviously, this is more effective than Zhuokai people telling him where to go, and then he has to go and find him slowly.
Zhuo Kairen continued: "You don't ask about the punishment for losing? ”
Li Hao said very shamefully: "Anyway, I can't beat you now, and it's not up to you to decide if you lose." ”
Zhuo Kairen raised his right hand, shook his index finger, and said, "No, it's not that you can't beat me now, it's that you will never have a chance to beat me." But there is still a punishment, and if you lose, I will take this woman next to you away. ”
Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, then it's a word!" ”
After Li Hao finished speaking, Zhuo Kairen laughed happily, and then disappeared quickly, he was like a child who abides by the rules of the game, and he didn't even want to look at the direction of Li Hao's escape.
Li Hao didn't turn around and run.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Ji watched Li Hao stand still, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Do you want to deliberately lose this game so that that monster can take me away?" ”
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what kind of Qingqi brain circuit Zhao Ji was, so he laughed, nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good, why didn't I think of it?" Then it was so happily decided! "Really, compared to being dragged to save the world if there is nothing to do, you have to be educated at every turn, and you will be beaten at every turn, so that Zhuo Kairen will arrest Zhao Ji, and I feel that the world is much quieter when I think about it.
However, looking at the sneer on Zhao Ji's face, as well as the flames in her eyes that were about to burn into a raging fire, Li Hao estimated that Zhao Ji would definitely kill him first before Zhuo Kai found them. He didn't talk nonsense anymore, turned around and started running. Now they have lost all their belongings in their backpacks except for two sets of replacement clothes and the last two cans of canned meat, and they are carrying a sword in their hands, and they are running quite fast.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Hao feels that there is always a pair of eyes looking at him in a corner, sometimes he thinks that Zhuo Kairen is following him, but sometimes he feels that it is not.
There are still a lot of zombies on the street, and they all seem to like the rain, but when they find them, they still chase after them like sharks that smell blood. In fact, if you want to escape farther and not let Zhuo Kai people catch up, the best way should be to find a car, Li Hao doesn't believe that Zhuo Kai people can run faster than cars. But the streets were full of zombies, and Li Hao never found a chance to find a car. These zombies are not as fast as Li Hao and Zhao Ji, but they won't be tired.
After Li Hao and Zhao Ji ran for two hours in one go, they had to find a place to take a breath, otherwise they would be eaten by zombies before Zhuo Kai could catch up with them.
When they were able to run before, they seemed to think that zombies were not a thing. Or that the zombies were enjoying the joy of being drenched in the rain at that time, and they didn't care so much about them, so even if Li Hao and Zhao Ji were discovered by the zombies, they could use their brisk pace to easily disappear from the sight of the zombies before the zombies pounced on them. But not anymore, their pace is sluggish and heavy, and the zombies find them noticeably more often. Several times, Li Hao and Zhao Ji laboriously brandished the heavy sword in their hands and killed a handful of zombies, but more zombies roared and pounced, and in the end they could only flee in the wilderness, the more zombies they fled, and in the end they could only panic, and they found a building and climbed in.
The unit door of this building is closed, and there are a lot of zombies gathered outside the unit door, Li Hao and Zhao Ji did not run in from the unit door, but under the corridor, Li Hao gave Zhao Ji a human ladder, Zhao Ji stepped on Li Hao's shoulders and grabbed the anti-theft net on the first and second floors to climb to the third floor, and then jumped into the corridor. And Li Hao climbed up to the 2nd floor with the help of his bouncing power, opened the anti-theft net on the 2nd floor with brute force, squeezed in through the gap in the anti-theft net, and then joined Zhao Ji on the 3rd floor.
The closed unit door isolated the zombies outside, but there were also a lot of zombies in the corridor of the unit, Li Hao and Zhao Ji ran while fighting, until they ran to the top floor, and the zombies on each floor behind them followed, Li Hao and Zhao Ji both struggled to kill a lot, just when they felt that there was no way to go up to the sky and no door to go down, a room on the 20th floor suddenly opened a door, and someone beckoned to them from the door.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Li Hao and Zhao Ji found that they were in an ordinary unit, this unit was not big, at most it was three bedrooms, but the room was full of things, and all kinds of fast food were placed in the living room, almost leaving them with no place to stay.
"If you're hungry, you can get something to eat, there's no electricity, gas can be used, but there's no water, you can do it yourself."
Holding a candlestick in his hand, standing in front of Li Hao and Zhao Ji was a young man, in his twenties, who seemed to be in college, or had just graduated from college. Wearing glasses, he is very thin.
Li Hao immediately remembered himself who had just graduated.
Li Hao still had a bottle of filled mineral water in the side pocket of his backpack, took him out horizontally, and handed it to the young man, whose eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed the water bottle and drank it. I almost drank the whole bottle of water in one breath, and I realized something, and braked in time, leaving Li Hao with a little bit at the bottom of the bottle.
"I'm sorry," said the young man, "I'm so thirsty." I can collect all kinds of quick food, but water has always been a scarce commodity. ”
Li Hao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, after all, you saved our lives." You've been here all along? ”
The young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is my home, otherwise where do you think I will go?" I usually have a lot of instant noodles at home, and when zombies start to appear outside, I hide at home and live on instant noodles, and later, I tear the sheets into strips of cloth and crawl to the neighbor's house below, and I collect a lot of things in this way. Where are you from? How's it going out there? ”
Zhao Ji said: "It's not optimistic outside, you haven't encountered rescue?" ”
The young man glanced at Zhao Ji, but he did not hide a warm light in his eyes, and said: "Young lady, you are so beautiful, you are definitely very outstanding among ordinary people, if you package it, you must be no worse than those female stars." ”
Zhao Ji smiled happily and said thank you, and then looked at Li Hao very unfriendly.
Li Hao coughed dryly, and asked embarrassedly but politely: "Are you studying in a science and engineering college?" ”
Before the young man could react, Zhao Ji frowned and asked Li Hao, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Hao laughed dryly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the engineering dog may have some misunderstanding about beauty, so I'm going to ask what university this brother studied." ”
"Li Hao!" Zhao Ji was one millimeter away from going berserk.
The young man smiled and said, "You two seem to be in good shape...... My name is Li Dong, to be honest, I dropped out of college, but fortunately, I don't go out, I can support myself, I opened a new book, and the subscription reached 10,000 on the first day of listing.3 If time permits, I will also become a great god. ”
"It's a peer." Li Hao put down his backpack, pushed away a pile of fast food on the sofa, lay down, and ran for two hours without stopping, he felt that he was going to run out of breath. If this continues, even if the Zhuokai people can't catch up with them, they will have to exhaust themselves to death. But even they don't know where they ran to, and the Zhuokai people shouldn't be able to catch up.
The young man, that is, Li Dong, looked at Li Hao and asked, "You also write online articles?" ”
Li Hao said: "Not only that, I also write scripts, and I can meet some big stars from time to time." But it's useless, and it's the end of the world now. Are you going to stay in your house like this? ”
Li Dong shook his head and said: "I don't know, at the beginning, I could still see some live reports about the virus on the Internet, and later the official also announced the coordinates of some shelters, but I knew that if I ran out, I would die, so I simply stayed at my home." ”
Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when he heard that there were shelters, and he asked, "Do you remember the locations of those shelters?" ”
Li Dong smiled and said, "Of course, I made a map to print out and made a 3D model, but then the power ran out, and the electronic map was useless." I can give you a printed map, but what are you going to get in exchange? ”
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and an equivalent exchange is the fairest thing.
Li Hao was speechless for a while, and Zhao Ji asked, "What do you need?" The information outside, if it's more detailed, is it worth your map? ”
Li Dong shook his head.
Li Hao and Zhao Ji looked at each other, in this way, they would have nothing of value to exchange. Otherwise, it would be the backpack and the clothes in the backpack, but if Li Dong didn't go out, this was his home, and there would be no shortage of these things.
At this time, Li Dong spoke, he looked at Zhao Ji and asked, "Little sister, can you dance for me?" How so? I'm a senior otaku, and I've watched a lot of videos, but I've never seen a living, beautiful young lady like you dancing. Don't worry, I just want to watch dancing, it's pure and healthy, I don't want to watch that kind of indecent live broadcast......"
Zhao Ji's eyes almost fell out of their sockets for a while.
Li Hao couldn't help laughing, stood up and patted Zhao Ji's shoulder, and said, "Then you can satisfy others, they all said that they are pure and healthy, and they will not violate your principles." ”
Zhao Jigan laughed a few times and asked Li Dong: "Is it okay to give you a set of grappling boxing?" I really can't dance......"
Li Dong shook his head, pointed at Li Hao, and said, "Boxing or something, just look at the little brother......"
Zhao Ji was about to cry, and looked at Li Hao for help, but Li Hao spread his hands helplessly.
In the end, Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and asked, "Is "Little Apple" okay?" I skipped once at the party when I was in college...... A unique time......" She looked at Li Hao pleadingly, and Li Hao looked very expectant.
Li Dong sighed and said, "It looks like something decades ago...... Good soil...... But that's going to be it......"
Zhao Ji slowly put down the backpack, with a face of grief and indignation like an execution ground, what made her most angry was that Li Hao was really looking forward to it, she really had the urge to either crush Li Hao's head or crush her own head......
Of course, there was no music, and just as Zhao Ji was very embarrassed to compare a few movements, there was suddenly a sound of laughter almost out of breath on the windowsill......
Li Hao and Zhao Ji felt all over, on the windowsill of the 20-story building, there were Zhuo Kai people who appeared at some point.
