Chapter 60: I Have a Prison in My Body
"What... What do you mean? Someone in that room, you say?! The bald man looked incredulous.
Su Ye nodded: "Huh... It's out. β
As soon as she finished speaking, a slender long-haired girl covered her mouth and walked out, with delicate facial features and fair skin, but with a frowning brow and a slightly painful expression, she staggered behind everyone.
"Hey! Girl! What did you just do?! The cross-meat man questioned.
"I... I just..."
The girl glanced at the corpse on the ground with trepidation, and once again covered her mouth and ran towards the bathroom...
"Hey~! Wait, don't go to that, go to the big bathroom! Damn, Niko, take her with you! β
The bald man was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
"Oh... Good! β
The cashier nodded, chased after the girl and pulled her towards the large bathroom.
In general, the architectural structure of this store is relatively simple, the 200-square-meter room is divided into two parts by glass windows, and nearly 150 square meters are halls, that is, the turntable for eating, and a circle of small hot pots is placed in a ring on it, which can accommodate 30 people at the same time.
On both sides of the turntable is a half-height shelf, 40 cm convex, where some garlic, spicy sauce, soybeans, sesame oil, vinegar and other condiments are placed.
On the other side is a bowl and chopsticks, and next to it is a huge bucket of hot water, which is brewed tea, which can be drunk immediately.
The overall decoration is mainly amber yellow, simple and gorgeous, giving people a sense of lofty and noble sight, there are four rows of shelves on the right side of the hall, which are not big, but full of things.
It's not hard to guess that it should be some point gifts placed by the shrewd boss to attract repeat customers, ranging from fluffy toys to household essentials like toiletries.
On the left side of the hall stands a huge freezer with complimentary drinks, and beyond that is the cash register and the main entrance.
That said, this shop... There are no windows?
From the time the store opens in the morning to the time it closes at night, it is only air-conditioned overhead and the door at the door for ventilation.
Once the roller shutter door is closed, there is always a feeling of oppression in this enclosed space, as if with each passing second, the air is decreasing.
"Who's going to help!"
The cross-meat man raised his chin towards the bald man, and the bald man's face instantly became cloudy, and he muttered in disgust: "I'll go find a rag, don't have my fingerprints on it." β
As soon as the words fell, Kill Matt lifted his sleeves without saying a word, lifted the corpse's legs and staggered to the bathroom in the corner.
"Hmph. I think he is a thief with a weak heart and a ghost in his heart! β
The bald man sneered as he looked at the back of Kill Matt.
"The police will definitely deal with this kind of thing." The little white face adds oil and vinegar.
"That's right.. Speaking of cops, what to do with this gun? Are the police not here now? The woman in red said worriedly.
"That's easy, lock it in the closet, and wait for the police to come. Come on, come and lock the gun. The bald man waved his hand at the cashier who came out of the bathroom.
"Yes."
The guns were locked, the blood was cleaned up, and the whole shop looked a lot more comfortable now, at least there was nothing depressing in their hearts.
Everyone found their own land to rest.
Su Ye didn't bother to move, so he sat down, leaning against the seam between the cash register and the wall, squinting slightly.
This location, just in time to see everyone.
Slender fingers tapped lightly on the knees and began to observe each one.
First of all, the most impressive thing is the horizontal meat man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a loud voice, from his speech and demeanor and dress, Su Ye feels that he looks like a contract foreman, or even a contract foreman, maybe he is the big boss of a construction site, with two blue zongzi on his body:
I slept with a friend's wife,
Workers who have harmed their accounts.
The second, the murderous murderer Matt, the bohemian hairstyle and cynical language, as well as the failed behavior of slipping the order, it can be concluded that this kind of person is a gangster, whose nature is difficult to move, and there are two blue rice dumplings on his body,
Suck the most fierce poison and split the most sassy legs.
The woman in red looks like a housewife no matter how she looks, but this dress... Su Ye had a little headache, and for a while he really couldn't guess what kind of profession she was, and there was a blue zongzi on her body:
The husband, who had been dead for fifteen years, was never buried, hiding in a freezer in the basement.
Su Ye shuddered, what kind of hobby can do such a thing?
The bald man next to him, even in a suit and leather shoes, couldn't hide his increasingly fat belly, cheap gold-rimmed glasses, and his speech and demeanor were vaguely mixed with an order to try.
It is not difficult to analyze, when people are middle-aged, they become a sesame official in a nearby company, and they are greedy and too lazy to go home for dinner, so they come here to quench their thirst recently.
There are three blue rice dumplings on the body:
I have slept with female subordinates, made fake accounts, and like to go to the hotel to eavesdrop on exciting sounds.
The earring girl and the little white face should be a young couple in love in a certain college.
Both of them are each other's green secrets, and they pass it off.
Next is the female cashier who is submissive from beginning to end, and the male clerk who was pulled out by the "zombie" and didn't even see the front.
The secret is also simple, the two like to cheat in the supermarket and post it to the website to make extra money.
In addition to the above 8 people, there are 3 people, 3 people who give people a very weak sense of existence, and two of them have hardly said a word until now, and they have not made any special moves, so that Su Ye almost ignored their existence.
One is a delicate-looking little girl, who is only six or seven years old, and should have just entered elementary school, but her calmness and calmness surprised Su Ye secretly, and the youngest age was the most unexpected.
Su Ye recalled that from before eating, to the man breaking in, until now, this girl seemed to be like a clay sculpture, without any expression, and if she insisted on saying that there was, it was also cold and gloomy.
She is like a scavenger who can see through everything, eat quietly, and watch people kill quietly...
As if this kind of thing was not strange to her, she was just tired and wanted to rest here for a while before leaving.
But looking at it now, this attitude happens to be the strangest place.
Not only that, but the secret on the girl is also strange - she likes to eat snakes.
The other person is an old uncle, with gray hair, a furrowed face, and a small pink schoolbag in his arms, which should be the little girl's grandfather.
Compared with his granddaughter's composure, this old man showed the other extreme.
Away from the crowd, huddled in the corner of the wall, hunched and shivering, obviously more terrified than anyone else.
Su Ye was a little puzzled, although this kind of unbelievable strange thing is something that everyone will be afraid of, this is human common sense.
But it's been calm for so long, why does this old man still look creepy?
The secret on his body is very ordinary: in order to retire, he lied about his age, and used the bank practice voucher as a one-yuan coin to take the bus.
Su Ye noticed that the two men and daughters never said a word, and there was no communication between them.
Just as Su Ye was secretly thinking to himself, the last person came to him.
The girl with faint blood.
"Hello, can I sit?"
Su Ye glanced up, didn't speak, and moved his body.
The girl smiled and sat next to her.
"Is this thirteenth-order Rubik's Cube yours?"
Su Ye raised his eyelids: "I was bored on the plane, so I gave me this." β
"You landed on the table after you finished eating, here you go."
"Thank you."
took the Rubik's cube and looked at each other, and could clearly feel a touch of surprise in the girl's eyes.
"Can you spell this?" The girl wondered.
"Can't..."
"Oh..."
The girl nodded, then asked, "What's your name?" β
Su Ye was a little speechless, he always felt that this kind of good-looking girl should appear in some high-end restaurants to drink with her boyfriend by candlelight, or in the mall to Taobao with her girlfriends.
But here,
That's just a lot of words.
"Li San."
Su Ye turned the Rubik's Cube in his hand, obviously wanting to end this boring topic quickly.
The woman in red raised her head and looked at the two of them, her eyes full of longing: "How nice it would be if I could see my child!" β
The girl smiled slightly bitterly, moved two steps, grabbed the woman's arm, and said tenderly: "Auntie, it will all pass, and you can see your child tomorrow." β
"Well, I hope so."
The woman patted the girl's hand gratefully: "Girl, what's your name?" Your home is nearby, right? β
The girl nodded: "My name is Ruyi, and my home is not far from here." β
"You know what? I really want to have a daughter, and they all say that the daughter is my mother's little padded jacket, and it would be nice if I had a girl as big as you. β
"You should love your children very much, and it is a blessing to have a mother like you."
"I love my children very much, and home is more important to me than my life."
"Then you have to persevere."
"Of course, as the young man said just now, it's useless to be anxious now. I miss them now, but I have to be strong and believe that they are waiting for me! β
Su Ye touched his nose and felt that women were really magical creatures, excluding the generation gap of age, the two of them were obviously heartbreaking a second ago, and the other was vomiting and dying.
Including myself, there are 12 people in total.
The only thing that made Su Ye interested was this girl named Ruyi, because the zongzi on her body said:
"Inside me... There is a prison. β
On this night, there was no communication with each other, and everyone fantasized about the night sky outside and the brightly lit streets.
The next morning, at 9:15,
In a dazed state, Su Ye was woken up by a loud shout.
"Hey! What time is it?! Why hasn't the shift come yet? Are you lying to us!! β
The meaty man rudely spread his hands and propped up the cash register, glaring at each other angrily, his eyes spewing fire.
"I... I don't know... In the past, the shift had already been handed over, but, but..."The female clerk shrunk her neck, trembling with fright.
"But what is it?! Don't you look at what time it is? β
"A quarter past nine."
Xiao Bai's face rubbed his sleepy eyelids and interjected.
"Yawn~ Okay, okay, let's ask first!" The bald man covered his mouth lazily, and it seemed that he slept well last night.
"What time do you usually turn shifts?"
The cashier snorted: "It's usually less than nine o'clock." β
"Oh... Then wait, it won't be long wrong. The bald man lifted his sleeves and looked at the table below.
The cross-meat man raised his eyebrows and snorted impatiently.
Su Ye stood up and stretched, several bones made a "crackling" sound, and he noticed that at this point in time, only the old man and Kill Matt were still "lying in bed".
The rest of the people gathered around the cash register.
Compared to yesterday, everyone seemed to have changed a little, but the biggest one was the woman in red.
Her face was puffy, her eyes were dark, and the makeup on her face was a little flowery, and she obviously didn't close her eyes all night.
10:20γ
"Bang!"
The cross-meat man slapped the cashier, and he finally couldn't help it: "You dead girl!" Lying to us from start to finish, isn't it! How long are we going to wait here? Yes?! β
As soon as the words fell, everyone stared at the female cashier.
She looked innocent, so anxious that tears rolled into her eyes, and she waved her hand and explained: "No, no, they will definitely come!" The boss will also come to settle the account once every two days, this is his shop, he won't even want his own shop, unless..."
"Unless there's an accident!"
The woman in red suddenly interjected, and a hint of panic flashed in her dark eyes.
Her words really made everyone's hearts sink a lot.
The atmosphere instantly became oppressive, as if you could see countless dark conjectures shuttling through the narrow air, trying to break through the impregnable rolling shutter door...
After a brief silence, the cross-meat man roared violently: "Fuck, hell it's back! Lao Tzu doesn't believe that everyone here is dead! β
After saying that, he rushed straight to the door, waved his thick-skinned fist, and hit the roller shutter door like a storm!
"Knock Knock Knock !!"
"Open the door! Open the door for Lao Tzu!! β
The huge fist was mixed with indescribable rage, crashing, scolding, and making up a piercing symphony.
It lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and after finally kicking the shutter door violently, the cross-meat man collapsed and sat on the ground, his chest pulling out a bellows-like gasp.
"How... What's going on, why is there no reaction from the outside at all when there is such a big movement? Is it really all gone?! β
The bald man speculated uneasily.
"What are you kidding? Although it is partial, there are tens of thousands of people here, so it can't be so many people disappear out of thin air! The earring girl sneered lightly with a hint of banter.
"Perhaps... Perhaps..."
A trembling cry caught everyone's attention.
The woman in red pointed to the iron gate with a pale face:
"He... They are all infected! It's all changed! He said, the man said, that this terrible virus is sweeping through heaven at a frantic rate! β
"What do you mean? Nervous babbling, they're all poisoned? In the hospital now? The earring woman rolled her eyes, for her age, a typical atheist,
Constellations are excluded.
"In what hospital! Dead! These bastards are dead!! The cross-meat man straightened up and scolded.
"No, please, please don't say that, my child is still waiting for me at home!"
"Wait a fart! No one came to make such a big move just now, so I'm sure he's all dead!! β
"Noββ!"
The woman in red collapsed instantly, as if she had received an email from the Grim Reaper, her expression was desperate and painful, and she burst into tears: "They are still alive, they must still be alive!" β
"Yes, uncle, don't think nonsense at this time, otherwise we will only scare ourselves and be more desperate, let's calm down and find out what happened outside." Ruyi came to the woman in red and helped her to calm her breath.
"This beauty is right!"
Su Ye turned around, took a cigarette in his mouth, swallowed the clouds and said with a mist: "Like me, at least I'm curious about what that terrifying virus is?" Which of you has a cell phone, see if you can find any clues? β
"Humph! Mobile phones are now useless except as flashlights! The earring woman looked frustrated.
"Cut off from the outside world..."
Su Ye raised his chin: "This is not important, if you can unilaterally understand the information of the outside world, you can also try, who can use the radio?" β
The calm and sober analysis made everyone's eyes light up, and they immediately took out their mobile phones and tried it.
"No..."
"Mine doesn't work either..."
"Mine doesn't either..."
After a few minutes, everyone looked at each other with frustration on their faces.
The corners of Kill Matt's mouth raised slightly, let out a "tsk" sigh, and shook his head: "You guys are really ...... Blind?! Isn't there a radio on the shelf? The mobile phone doesn't even have a signal, how can you receive the FM, it's really funny! β
The bald man glared at him, walked over to the gift rack and saw that there was a radio, slightly smaller than a repeater, with headphones.
"Hmph... You know this stuff so well! β
As he passed by, the bald man glanced at him coldly.
"Hey! What do you mean? I warn you, don't look at people with tinted glasses! β
"Are you two finished?! Stop arguing! Bring it to me! The man snatched the radio and put it on the counter.
"Girl, do you have a battery?"
"Huh?! Yes, there is! β
The cashier nodded, found two more batteries on the shelf, plugged in the headphones, turned on the switch, and eagerly adjusted the wave frequency.
For a second, everyone was watching her.
Two minutes later, the cashier exclaimed, "Listen! Heard it!! I received a desk!! β
"What!! Fast! What's in it?! β
The woman in red crawled over, staring at her with an anxious face.
The cashier's face was a little embarrassed: "It seems to be a music broadcast, and I can't hear the news." β
"It's okay, it's better to receive it than nothing! Quick, let's see if there's another station! The bald man said excitedly.
"Uh-huh!"
Twenty minutes later...
The cashier took off her headphones weakly, drooped her head, and looked at everyone: "No... I received a total of three stations, none of which were broadcasting news, and it was strange that these stations were all from other places, and the local Nanyang radio station was full of noise. β
After hearing this, everyone was in a cold sweat.
The woman in red said with a gloomy face: "In other words, our radio station here is no longer empty?" β
Su Ye frowned.
It wasn't because of this sudden remark, but because he found out that this woman in red... Something is wrong.
I don't know if it's forced by the environment, he always feels that this woman's personality is extremely unstable.
Ruyi smiled slightly, full of hope: "It's okay, it's not bad to be able to receive a station from other places, and this time shouldn't be a news time, wait until noon to try again." β
The woman in red nodded: "Girl, will you give me the radio?" Let me listen, I'm more patient. β
The female clerk nodded, and when she was about to hand it over, the bald man suddenly grabbed the radio and looked at the woman in red with a solemn face: "This is the only way we can get information from the outside world, don't..."
"Don't worry."
The woman in red nodded, broke her bald hand, took the radio, found a corner and squatted down...
12:48 a.m
"I'm sorry, this, this is going to pay."
Kill Matt turned around, looked at the female clerk who reminded him with a playful expression, stuffed the remaining half of the ham sausage into his mouth, chewed nonchalantly, and let out a "clucking" laugh.
The cashier, who had a serious face, looked embarrassed.
"Gollum..."
Spit out the ham, Kill Ma deliberately licked his mouth, and slowly approached his face: "Hehe, why are you so cute, to be honest, if you look at me like this again, maybe I will fall in love with you." β
"What nonsense!"
The cashier's face turned red instantly, she lowered her head, her eyes were nowhere to place, she bit her lip lightly, and after pondering for a few seconds, she emphasized again: "The buffet time is over, and everything here has to be charged." β
"Haha, so what, that's why you're cute?"
Killing Matt propped his head, looking cynical, and seeing that the cashier didn't pay attention to him, he snorted without smiling, and said coldly: "Little cutie, haven't you woken up yet?" Don't you know where we are? Do you still care about money? β
This sentence was a little loud, and several people cast their eyes, and the cashier's face became even more embarrassed when she was asked.
"Hey, hey, here you go."
After killing Matt, he wrung off another ham sausage in front of her and handed her half of it.
The cashier didn't have the courage to block it with her hand.
Kill Matt snorted disdainfully, and ate to himself: "Little cutie, tell me, how long can I last here?" One month? A year? Or for a lifetime? We earn money for an extra day here, you know?! What has become of the outside, and what do you want? Be a starving ghost and not reincarnate?! Continuing to maintain business during this time, ensuring turnover, and finally getting rewarded by the boss? Why are you so naΓ―ve and great? β
The prickly and sarcastic tone of the words made the cashier's whole face cloudy.
She raised her head and stared at Kill Matt, and was about to refute a few sentences, when the bald head suddenly stepped forward.
"Ahem, inside... Girl, don't worry so much about this situation now, thank God we can live. Otherwise, you can record everything we consume and go out and make up the money for you when you're done, okay? β
The cashier thought about it, and felt that this special situation really couldn't be too rigid at the moment, so she nodded faintly and took out a piece of paper and pen.
The cross-meat man simply cooked the hot pot directly, and the couple didn't seem to have much appetite, so they only ate some fruit.
Su Ye poked his neck and glanced at the meatballs in the freezer, and there were many.
Rest assured...
Everyone ate their lunches in a scattered manner, except for two people.
The woman in red and the old man in that corner.
Ruyi came out of the bathroom, wiped her hands, took an apple and walked to the woman in red, squatting down: "Eat some." β
The woman in red shook her head, she didn't care about anything but her children and her home now.
The bald man was a little uneasy, so she took a piece of cake, and after persuading her for a while, she reluctantly ate a piece.
Seeing her expression like chewing wax, her bald head shivered, and in order not to affect her appetite, she left stupidly.
Su Ye glanced at the old man in the corner, felt a little pitiful, took two pieces of cake and a bottle of water, and walked over.
However, just as he was about to pass through the shelves, suddenly, a cat appeared in the block of another row of shelves!
Su Ye was startled, and the bottle in his hand almost slipped off.
This little girl, his granddaughter.
The little girl who had been gloomy and had never spoken suddenly burst out of the shelves?
four eyes facing each other,
The two pairs of eyes do not have the innocence and fear that this age should have, but an indescribable depth,
Shen is terrible.
Su Ye tilted his head slightly, and suddenly became very interested in this withdrawn little girl, and bent over to shake the cake with it: "Do you want to eat?" β
The little girl looked at him indifferently, but did not reply.
The reaction was somewhat unexpected.
Su Ye didn't give up, and squatted down: "Or, I'll take you to eat hot pot?" β
This time it was even more embarrassing, the little girl didn't even lift her eyelids.
Su Ye looked depressed and stood up bitterly, but just as he was about to leave, suddenly, his palm was cold!!
"You need this."
The immature voice is like giving an irresistible order!
The little girl turned and left.
that
It's a sharp fruit knife!
