Chapter 16: Movement in the Night
In principle, our new book period still has to be slowly and obscenely developed, but yesterday I was rewarded by a bunch of classmates of "โยข God No Tears", so I have to add more to express my gratitude, otherwise the old face can't hang up

Back home, little Lori is very active. She didn't even dare to play games when she was alone, so she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide, but when Zhang Zimin was there, she was very active, she wanted to play games, she rode a bicycle as soon as she played, and continued to play after riding, so she said "Damin, I'm hungry".
In fact, this is good, it means that she is growing up healthily, healthier than before the catastrophe, even if this product was beaten by her mother, it was useless, and she carried a tablet in a daze all day long.
When it was eleven o'clock, Zhang Zimin said, "You are not a zombie, you are not allowed to circulate, go to sleep." โ
"Okay."
She hopped back to the bedroom.
"Don't jump, don't make a noise at night, or the monster will bite you." Zhang Zimin said.
"Bragging, it's what you said that monsters can't get in."
Having said that, she didn't jump, went to bed lightly, covered her head, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
The little girl was really tired today, really did a lot of work, and rode no less than 20 kilometers of weight-bearing bicycles because of greedy games. By the way, Lao Chen spoke very highly of her, saying that because of her, a lot of trouble and danger were avoided when cleaning the unit.
Zhang Zimin returned to the balcony, looked out the window and finished smoking, opened his diary and wrote:
Two survivors were found today, and from the analysis of their experiences, a few days after the catastrophe began, the young people with strong receptivity already had a certain understanding of the end times. But the disadvantage is that it still retains many of the virtues before the catastrophe, such as being free and loose in doing its own thing.
To a certain extent, in addition to representing their vitality, this also shows that "humanity" is still there, at least temporarily.
But it is foreseeable that with the passage of time, their optimism will slowly shrink, and those who have suffered enough losses and survived many injuries should become big troubles, and the work should become more and more difficult.
I'm not sure when the war between humans will begin, but I know that there will be fewer and fewer people alive and less time.
It is already difficult to move an inch outside, and the collection of materials and the search and rescue of survivors are much more difficult than imagined.
But that's still not the point at the moment, and for some reason, as I'm getting used to it, I feel more and more dangerous, especially at night. Gotta figure out why?
On the evening of November 16, Zhang Zimin's work diary ......
In the middle of the night, I was awakened again.
The movement was actually not loud, only I felt that there was a dull crash at the street intersection far away, very heavy, but not loud. But because it is a low-frequency sound, it has a strong penetrating power, and it is transmitted to this side.
Little Lori didn't wake up, but Zhang Zimin sensed it.
The walkie-talkie didn't ring, Feng Chenchen and the others shouldn't have paid attention to this movement?
After that, there was no movement, but Zhang Zimin became more and more nervous, and even his palms were sweaty, and he felt that the threat had not gone far.
Zhang Zimin was very sure: it was not the movement of a crash, but the low-frequency sound caused by a soft object hitting something heavy.
It can't be humans and zombies, because humans and zombies definitely don't have that much power.
Judging from the pattern of movement, I don't know why, they seem to like to be active at night, and they always wander this street?
If that's the case, this may be a fatal flaw in them. If there is a big sniper, it should be possible to set up an ambush to hunt, but unfortunately there are very few such things, and it is not easy to obtain.
Slowly, the sense of danger weakened again until it was eliminated, and Zhang Zimin closed his eyes......
When the morning came, it was the same as usual, and I started my day's work early. Some are procedures that must be carried out routinely.
For example, counting the zombies left in the community every day is an important task, and Zhang Zimin personally performs it for the time being.
The number of zombies must not be wrong, neither more nor less.
Otherwise, something must be wrong. Because even if the unit building has not been cleaned up until now, the zombies that have not come down now, if it are not a major change, they should not come down easily.
Also, the data during the cleanup process shows that not all zombies will go down the stairs.
About a third will not go down. Zhang Zimin deliberately observed that with their ability to control nerve joints as an anchor, going down the stairs is indeed a technical job for them. So it's not surprising that they don't go downstairs, just like there are some people in the human race who can't learn to swim.
Of course, it's not certain whether the zombies will slowly learn to go downstairs on their own.
In addition to the number of zombies, their daily location and habits are also the focus of observation. For example, if the old zombie likes to rampage through the road like a zombie with a flat head, and is not near the chess table, the so-called abnormal things must have demons, then there should be something wrong Zhang Zimin doesn't know.
These things may seem a bit cryptic or nitpicky, but they can actually be classified as statistics and probability. In fact, Zhang Zimin began to prepare for the end of the world by virtue of his extreme personality and these. It's not exactly a neurological disease, and it's not exactly feelings.
Today, Wang Xiaoai is like a little warrior, and now Zhang Zimin has used his own resources to modify a set of protective equipment suitable for her, probably using the spare thick carpet to make her arm guards, shoulder pads and neck pads, which is enough to prevent bites.
After Zhang Zimin's continuous testing, he already knows the bite force of zombies.
And from a motorcycle in the community, I found a children's helmet for her, which looked really decent.
As usual, Chan Ka Lok led Lori to clean up the unit building and search for survivors.
Feng Chenchen continued to clean up the package in the post station early in the morning. This work happens every day, because as the zombies in the unit are cleaned up, new ownerless packages will be confirmed, and according to Zhang Zimin's rules, these packages will be listed as government escrow resources and used for the public.
"Is this all right?"
Feng Chenchen, who was unpacking the ownerless package, suddenly blushed and took out a flying 2 machine cup.
It happened that Zhang Zimin came in with two large barrels of pumped gallons of gasoline, and handed over the gasoline to Feng Chenchen for accounting.
Feng Chenchen seemed to want to communicate with him about this issue, and said with a strange expression: "Anyway...... Do you think this thing should be classified as a strategic material reserve? โ
Zhang Zimin was also a little confused, thought about it and said: "Categorize, at least it is a tactical material, what if it is used?" โ
"Damn, you don't need this, do you?"
Feng Chenchen looked like you could solve it if you came to me.
"You don't know anything about power...... Some otaku love this thing, but in fact it's really a tactical item to stabilize people's feelings, and there's nothing to be shy about. Zhang Zimin went out after speaking.
Well, categorize.
Hey, wait.
Feng Chenchen came out of the balcony again to stop Zhang Zimin, took a package and said, "Damin, take a look at this email, Tang Li's, it seems to be the name of the woman last night?" โ
After looking at it, Zhang Zimin took it away, and said, "People have introduced themselves, have you forgotten about it after sleeping?" โ
Feng Chenchen said: "I'm not interested in women. โ
โฆโฆ
I came to Lao Chen's house with the package and tapped on the window.
Tang Lichao looked nervous with a kitchen knife at the window and said, "You came to me?" โ
The advantage of the first floor is that there are basically steel bars, and the disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to deliver things, Zhang Zimin said: "Open the door." โ
After going in, I looked around, Cheng Hang was still sleeping, and it was almost noon.
Tang Li is actually not a good thing, she has only been up for an hour. The reason why she didn't go out was because she was nervous, and she hadn't gotten used to the zombies in the yard for the time being.
Don't talk about zombies, the key is that Tang Li basically knew those people before her death, and most of them were very annoying.
"I still think they should be cleaned up and the zombies should be kept in their own yards." Tang Li had palpitations.
Zhang Zimin shook his head and said, "There is a reason for leaving them, and I will explain them slowly." In fact, you also need to slowly adapt to the zombie characteristics, which is not difficult, just be careful. To put it simply, you see this as a novice village I have prepared for you, after adapting, when you need to go out in the future, you will at least have a calmer mind in the face of zombies, make fewer mistakes, and increase the survival rate. โ
"No, I'm determined not to go out!" Tang Li looked resolute.
"We'll talk about this later, and now you have a package, sign for it." Zhang Zimin decisively handed her the package.
"Package, package?"
Tang Li looked directly confused, "You have no problem with your brain, right......?" Delivering mail in the aftermath of a cataclysm? โ
