Chapter 17: Inability to Communicate
We were a family who rarely found time to visit the zoo on the weekend, and after a happy look at the monkeys and orangutans, we walked around the zoo and returned to an animal-themed noodle restaurant near the herbivore area.
Just as we were having a meal as a family, all of a sudden, coughing sounds kept ringing around us, and the appliances began to flicker and eventually go out.
It's something we never imagined would happen, and it's a terrible nightmare that sudden.
The zombies in the movie appeared, they began to devour humans, we were all frightened, in the face of the chaos outside, the calm father resolutely chose to enter the back kitchen, hid in the compartment where the fresh food was stored, and escaped the first day of the apocalypse!
The next day, we had to leave the cubicle to find that the back kitchen had begun to be empty, only the floor was full of mess.
The phone didn't work, there was red rust on it, and we threw all our electronics into a corner in horror. There are still a lot of zombies out there, and we are trapped here and can't leave!
Calm dad stood up again and chose to stay in this place for a while, there is water here, there is food here, we can hold on here for many days, waiting for the arrival of rescue.
But just two days later, a group of monkeys that had grown much larger appeared in front of us, and they all looked like they were going to eat us at any moment!
Oh, my God! Why do monkeys get so big and so scary?!
Come from...... The inner monologue of a young boy.
"Roar, roar, roar! (Don't act rashly!) )”
The middle-aged man heard a loud roar, and was instantly squeezed out of the monkeys, looking at the sturdy and incredible Li Xian.
Even if he has a height of 1.8 meters, if he wants to look at Li Xian, he needs to raise his head slightly.
Zhang Jian showed a sad and desperate expression on his face, he raised his head slightly, and looked at Li Xian, who had already walked not far in front of him, and was shocked.
The kitchen knife in his hand is like a ridiculous children's toy, in front of the pants-wearing gorilla in front of him, he is like a junior high school student facing a muscular man, he may be able to hurt the other party, but as long as he is punched, his weak body, which often sits at the desk, will be lifted up like garbage, and finally smashed to the ground, never to get up again.
Is this the end of our lives?
His arms, which were supposed to protect his family, were powerless to put down at this time, even if Li Xian had not shown any aggression at the moment, Zhang Jian had already given up on himself.
He looked at his wife, who had been a classmate for more than ten years, and his face was full of misery: "Wife, I'm sorry, I... I'm so useless......"
Shi Wan, who had messy hair, also had tears in her eyes, it was the first time she had seen Zhang Jian with such a helpless and cowardly expression, but she didn't want to blame him at all, no matter who it was, when she encountered such a thing, she could stand bravely in front of her without moving a step, it was already better than 99% of the people in the world!
"No, you've done a good job, let's meet again in the next life!"
"Hmmm! Xiaowan~! ”
"Ah Jian!"
"Woooooo!!oo (Let go of me!) )”
Zhang Jian and Shi Wan looked at each other affectionately, and the little boy who was covering his mouth let out an unwilling sorrow......
"Roar, roar, roar! (Don't show off, you guys!) )”
A roar of dissatisfaction instantly interrupted the atmosphere that had been brewing between the husband and wife for a long time, and Li Xian said to these two plus a little boy who was already frightened and stunned hiding in his mother's arms: "Don't you understand what I said? ”
Although in Li Xian's mind, what he wanted to express meant this sentence, but in their ears, it was just the roar of a beast.
The two couples, who had been interrupted to die, regained their fear, shivering and curled into a ball, showing no sign of wanting to respond.
Li Xian frowned suspiciously, looked at the bacon beside him that was biting the big kitchen knife, and asked, "Bacon, did you hear what I just said?" ”
Roar Roar Roar Roar ......
The bacon stopped biting the back of the knife, looked at Li Xian, tilted his head, and said, "Don't you understand what I said?" ”
Whirring hoo twitter......
It's weird! Li Xian heard the repetitive words of bacon, and looked at Fisher on the other side suspiciously.
This time, without Li Xian speaking, Fisher took the initiative to say: "Boss, I can understand!" ”
After saying this, Fisher puffed up his chest proudly, looking like he was about to praise my pride.
"I didn't mean that...... Ay! Li Xian's brows furrowed even deeper, he looked at the family of three, and tried to communicate again.
As a result, the three of them would only look at him tremblingly, and there was no sign of understanding at all.
After doing useless work for a while, Li Xian gave up, and he felt the breakdown of a plan.
They still can't communicate with humans, and the animals seem to have been protected by the virus, while the surviving humans don't, and probably have......
He originally thought that as long as the creatures survived from the first day of the virus outbreak, they would be changed because of the transformation of the virus, but he was wrong, obviously the changes brought by this virus have not been changed by humans for the time being.
However, people have always survived by intelligence and ruthlessness, and sooner or later they will discover that there is a crystal nucleus in the brains of mutant zombies.
Knowing that the family had no way to communicate for the time being, Li Xian also lost interest in them.
Their time is precious, and today's plan is not easy: after emptying the noodle restaurant and having a meal, they need to walk through a meadow and several office buildings before reaching the parking lot at the west gate of the zoo.
They are going to get gasoline there, and then burn all the zombies that are still stacked in the deep pit alive, so that it is estimated that the first stage of Li Xian's mission can be completed.
"Throw them out and keep moving!" Although Li Xian lost interest in Zhang Jian and them, for the sake of being human beings before, he decided to throw them out.
With that, the monkeys swarmed up, subdued the three of them with three strikes and five divisions, carried them to the door, and threw them directly to the side of a pile of zombie corpses.
"Ahhh Husband! ”
"Ahhh Wife! ”
"Uh-huh!! (Let me go!) )”
As if they had done a trivial thing, they clapped their hands and went back to the animal noodle shop to continue to remove everything they could take with them.
Li Xian returned to the outside, and as soon as he took two steps, he saw the Buddha, rice and Daguo, and ran over excitedly with the other three Asian elephants.
"Boss, Boss! I've brought all my people with me! The Big Buddha saw Li Xian, who was very recognizable in big pants, and shouted excitedly before he got close.
On the back of Hanhan's rice sat the leader of the Tibetan chief monkey, who was very happy after seeing Li Xian holding a crooked steel pipe.
"Boss! I've got the big guys out! The leader of the Tibetan chief monkey jumped off the back of the rice and quickly ran to Li Xian's side.
At this time, Li Xian noticed that the Tibetan chief monkey was still carrying a large bag on his back.
The Tibetan chief monkey leader had a treasure-like expression on his face, put the bag down, and then took out the contents.
"Boss, look what I found! Hey! ”
The leader of the Tibetan chief monkey took out of the bag, and it was a large green banana that was not yet fully ripe.
Temporarily ignoring the dedication of the Tibetan chieftain monkey leader, Li Xian looked at the three elephants that had been rescued by the Buddha from the elephant pavilion.
Two baby elephants, and an elderly female.
His expression was overjoyed, the adult old elephant could not play a big role, but the two obviously immature baby elephants could bring great help to Li Xian's future.
The word siege beast reappeared in his mind, and if the remaining resources were placed on the two baby elephants, what their future would be.
He looked at the baby elephant whose teeth had not yet grown, and his gaze was even hotter than Ah Huang looking at the banana, it seemed that there would be a lot of harvest on this day!
"Come on! Boss, eat bananas! The leader of the Tibetan chief monkey lifted a peeled banana and handed it to Li Xian, who was in a good mood.
Li Xian smiled and ate the banana in one bite.
Bananas are a bit small and can only be eaten as snacks.
