Chapter 43: Revisiting the Supermarket

No matter who it is, as long as they begin to wonder about an unknown thing in their hearts, they will keep paying attention to this unknown.

Wu Zong is no exception.

He has been thinking about this problem since he noticed this anomaly.

It was true that he knew that zombies would migrate regularly, but he had never seen such a clean group of zombies in the relocation area, and it stands to reason that the academy was the most densely populated area in this suburb.

But from the first night they came here until now, when it comes to the living, even the scattered zombies they have encountered are less than twenty, and as for the living, they have only seen Zhang Yi or five people.

So where have all the people gone?

Wu Zong thought in his heart, even if it was the best case, assuming that half of the people had withdrawn, what about the remaining half of the people, were they hiding?

Just kidding, there are only Zhang Yi and their people left in such a big science and technology building, and if there are survivors, I really don't know why they don't hide in the science and technology building.

Turned into a zombie?

Obviously, this may be bigger, but the question is what about zombies?

Wu Zong couldn't think of any possibility that would turn the entire academy into an empty city.

Thinking about it, Wu Zong and Fang Laosan walked to the main entrance of Jiahui Supermarket again.

Wu Zong stopped, turned his head and instructed Fang Laosan: "This place feels a bit evil, let's take our things and leave, move quickly." ”

"Oh," Fang Laosan nodded first, and then asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Wu Zong frowned and smacked his lips: "Didn't you notice that there are surprisingly few zombies here?"

Fang Laosan listened to Wu Zong's words and pondered carefully, and suddenly said: "It seems that yes, let's drive here, it seems that there are more zombies encountered on the highway all the way than here." ”

After thinking about it, Fang Laosan continued: "Hey, maybe they are all over there in the dormitory building, after all, there may be a lot of students over there, don't they all say that college students don't attend classes now, and they lie in the dormitory all day long." ”

Wu Zong couldn't help but smile, raised his eyebrows, and nodded: "I hope." ”

With that, the two men entered the supermarket again.

There is no longer any value in staying on the first floor, their main goal this time is to go to the second floor to find out if there is any compressed food, the two of them moved quickly, and they came to the staircase in the depths of the first floor again.

This time Wu Zong kept an eye on it, he took off his coat first, leaving only the warm shirt inside, and rolled up the left cuff to reveal the mechanical arm inside, so as not to break the sleeves of the clothes after a while.

Wu Zong stretched out his shield and shone a flashlight upstairs, but he couldn't see anything clearly, and then he listened to it again and saw that there was no strange sound.

"Let's go," Wu Zong gestured to Fang Laosan.

The two walked briskly to the second floor, rummaging around with flashlights, and after a while, it was Fang Laosan who took the lead in finding compressed biscuits.

But this time it was obviously not as lucky as they were on the first floor, and the compressed biscuits should not be easy to sell, so there were only two dozen bags on the supermarket shelves.

Wu Zong hurriedly put this little bit of poor compressed biscuits into his bag, and couldn't help but feel worried, and said in his heart, how could this be the case.

"It's not enough to eat," Wu Zong muttered as he took a flashlight and shone around, wanting to see if there were any quick bento boxes or self-heating hot pots, so he could pack some more.

Just when Wu Zong was a little frustrated, Fang Laosan suddenly beckoned: "Eh, there is a warehouse here!"

Wu Zong's eyes lit up, and he looked for the way and walked towards Fang Laosan.

Fang Laosan couldn't wait to push the warehouse door, only to hear a squeak, and the warehouse door opened in response.

"No lock?" Wu Zong frowned.

It stands to reason that a place like a warehouse must be locked under normal circumstances, but not only is the door of this warehouse unlocked, but it is not even closed, so there is only one possibility-

"Wait a minute!" Wu Zong hurriedly whispered to Fang Laosan, who was about to go inside, motioned for him to come back, and whispered, "There may be someone inside." ”

Wu Zong shuddered what Fang Laosan said, and hurriedly trotted behind Wu Zong.

The reason why Wu Zong judged this way was entirely because he remembered that when he was in the Third Hospital, he was almost stabbed to death by Li Bingyi's scalpel, but as for whether there was anyone in this Wu Zong and did not have a clairvoyant eye, he didn't know.

"Friend," Wu Zong said tentatively as he walked slowly to the door of the storeroom, "We are living people, and there is no malice. ”

As he spoke, Wu Zong shook the flashlight into the warehouse, and the warehouse was full of dust, and the floating dust particles were very clear under the irradiation of the flashlight.

It doesn't seem like someone is there.

"Hello?"

Wu Zong spoke again, and at the same time, the gene blade on his right wrist slowly stretched out.

He gently pushed open the door of the warehouse, did not rush in, but slowly turned his body with the door frame as the central axis, and shone the flashlight around the warehouse a little bit.

This is a method of attacking the room, known as the 'Chepai', developed by Israel and widely used by the U.S. Secret Service, as a safe and reliable way to inspect the interior of the house with minimal exposure to the surface.

The house was full of dust, and there were many cardboard boxes piled up, some sealed, some opened, and a few cardboard boxes fell to the ground, and the contents were spread all over the floor.

Wu Zong walked in with his feet raised and fanned the floating dust.

There was no one inside, but someone must have been, and it was evident that the man seemed to be in a hurry to leave, and even knocked over a few boxes.

Wait a minute.

Seeing the box falling, Wu Zong suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He saw a cardboard box being pulled out of the way, almost to the door.

It doesn't look like this person left because he was in a hurry, but it looked like he was dragged away by something, and in a hurry, this person grabbed a box, but it still didn't prevent the end of being dragged away.

Thinking of this, Wu Zong was also a little nervous, he squatted down and picked up a belt of things that fell out of the box and looked at it carefully.

Compress cookies!

Wu Zong's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that Fang Laosan's luck was really good.

Anyway, it's good to be able to find food, and this place is a bit weird, so they'd better take their things and leave.

Thinking of this, Wu Zong beckoned Fang Laosan to the door: "This is a compressed biscuit, come in and load it quickly, let's leave quickly after loading." ”

Fang Laosan answered, and the two of them quickly filled the warehouse with two large bags of compressed biscuits, Fang Laosan also wanted to find out if there was a rope to see if he could tie it up and drag away another box, but Wu Zong always felt that this place was a little crazy, so Fang Laosan dispelled this idea, turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

Wu Zong raised his foot and just took half a step, suddenly, the white light of the flashlight shook over the shelf selling mops, and Wu Zong suddenly seemed to see the mop rod hanging over there bent a little, as if a tank of water was suddenly placed in front of the mop, and the distorted light refraction made the mop rod look like it was bent and fleeting.

When Wu Zong shone the flashlight back, he found that the mop rod had returned to normal again.

"Shhhh ”

"What's the matter," Fang Laosan walked around the neighborhood but didn't find anything worth taking, and as soon as he turned back, he saw Wu Zong looking at the mop in the distance suspiciously

He looked at Wu Zong's expression and said hesitantly, "Let's still have to do hygiene?"

Hearing Fang Laosan's words, Wu Zong couldn't help but sneer: "Be a fart, I just saw that something seemed to be a little wrong over there just now, maybe I was dazzled." ”

Fang Laosan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't need to do hygiene, when he followed that bald head as a thief before, he was responsible for sweeping the ground in the den, and he really didn't want to be a cleaner anymore.

Fang Laosan was just about to turn around and continue looking, but suddenly realized that Wu Zong seemed to be dazzled when he said just now, he suddenly thought that when the two of them first came, he glanced at the negative layer at that time, and seemed to have seen something, and he also thought that he was dazzled at that time.

Thinking of this, he suddenly grabbed Wu Zong: "Brother Wu, this seems to be really a little wrong. ”

"What's the matter," Wu Zong asked when he saw that Fang Laosan seemed to be a little nervous.

"What did you see just now," Fang Laosan asked.

"I seem to see something flashing over there, and the mop rod seems to be bent a little," Wu Zong said truthfully.

Hearing Wu Zong's words, Fang Laosan felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and he stammered: "You, do you remember the first time we came, I, I took a flashlight to shine on the negative layer." ”

Wu Zong nodded.

"I, I saw the ground bulge a little," Fang Laosan said, and sweat appeared on his head: "It's like, it's like a transparent jellyfish scurrying over the ground." ”

"Well, isn't there a ghost? Fang Laosan's voice was weak.

Originally, Wu Zong didn't care much, but when he heard Fang Laosan say this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Obviously, Fang Laosan saw the same situation as he saw, so they must not be dazzled.

What they saw was obviously a transparent thing flashing by, which should have been invisible in normal times, but because the beam of the wolf's eye flashlight was very concentrated, the refractive index of the light hitting this thing was inconsistent with the surrounding environment, so that they could find the clue.

A trace of bad thought suddenly flashed in Wu Zong's mindβ€”the sticky silk thread hanging on Fang Laosan's head, the unknown person who was dragged away, and the transparent shadow that flashed past.

Everything was like a key, they were arranged and combined, and at this moment they opened the lock that Wu Zong had been unable to unlock - why there were so few people in this academy.

His hand trembled for a moment, and he slowly raised the mechanical arm to his head, and the wolf-eye flashlight switched to a wide-angle light mode, shining with the mechanical arm to the ceiling of the supermarket.

Fang Laosan followed Wu Zong's light and looked up.

On the ceiling, a large area of white mist shrouded in the ceiling of the entire second floor of the supermarket.

Fang Laosan squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and then he couldn't move half a step anymore, extreme fear and nervousness made his pupils constrict, his legs trembled like chaff, and he almost knelt on the ground-

It wasn't a white mist at all, it was a dense layer of dense cobwebs!

The cobwebs cover layer after layer, it is so dense that it sticks to the zenith like a huge piece of white chewing gum, and if you look closely, on top of the layers of cobwebs, countless people tall are densely covered with cobwebs like huge silkworm cocoons, layer after layer, like a reverse mass grave.

Wu Zong knew that those 'silkworm cocoons' were full of people!

No wonder there are no people in this area at all, and even zombies seem to be rare.

Only then did Wu Zong understand that everyone was hanging here.

Wu Zong was even more frightened than Fang Laosan, because he knew how much trouble they were in.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, tried his best to restrain his shaking body, raised his hand and pushed Fang Laosan, and yelled at Fang Laosan, who was already scared stupidly, with all his strength: "run!"
