Chapter 14: Shirley
on the streets of Raccoon City.
Flames, wailing, blood, and barking dogs from nowhere, all of which were accompanied by the growing sound of raindrops, converged into a commotion...... But in the noise, there is an inexplicable dead silence.
The darkest hours of the morning had just passed, and the whole city was still shrouded in a heavy aura of death, and the buildings in the distance were flickering with dim lights, but it was no longer the light that guarded life, it was a city with only death.
......
It's a narrow alley.
In Raccoon City, it is difficult to walk two people side by side in this narrow alleyway, the walls on both sides seem to be squeezing people passing by as much as they can, the damp walls are plastered with all kinds of advertisements, garbage is everywhere, sewage is flowing sideways, graffiti is all over the walls, and even if there is no zombie rot smell, there is a disgusting smell of garbage.
A female zombie wandered aimlessly in this alley, her figure was very slender, her rotten body was wearing light green haute couture, but at the moment it was dirty and broken, and the beautiful Jin found that a lock of hair hung on her head like a mess of grass, and a little female makeup could still be seen on her highly rotten face.
Suddenly......
"Bang Bang Bang-"
A series of footsteps sounded, trampling puddles, and it was particularly clear in the alley. Those who can make such footsteps are obviously not zombies...... It's living human beings.
Well, it's hard to imagine that there are still human beings alive in such an environment...... And what's even more unbelievable is that the person who ran over turned out to be a little girl.
She looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, with the bangs that most girls in this age group would wear, and her white dress was already full of stains...... If your memory is not too bad, you can remember this girl as soon as you see her, because not long ago, she appeared in the picture in Ada's hand.
Yes, this little girl is Ada. The target that Wang is looking for - Shirley.
Such a clear footstep naturally attracted the attention of the female zombie, she swayed her rotten body and turned to the direction of her footsteps, and her hideous face happened to face Shirley who was running towards her.
It stands to reason that under such a scene, this zombie will open its big mouth full of rotten flesh in the next second and pounce on the food delivered to its mouth.
However, to everyone's surprise, the little girl named Shirley was so generous and ran past the zombie's eyes, and the zombie was still dangling in place, as if she hadn't noticed the other party at all.
......
......
Shirley has been wandering the city for quite some time now.
Three days?
Or four days?
In fact, she herself is not very clear.
I remember that on the very first day, there was a big flu in the city, almost everyone was infected, and on the way to school, the whole carriage was full of people with masks and lingering coughs.
At that time, Shirley was very glad that she was not infected, but she was still obedient and wore a mask.
And then, without knowing what was going on, people started to get weird.
The first to get weird is Aunt Fidel, a teacher at the school who is gnawing on one of Miller's arms when Shirley pushes open the door to her class......
Everyone was frightened, and so was Shirley, who followed the crowd to the playground, and along the way, it seemed as if someone had fallen, and in short, many people suddenly broke away from the group.
When Shirley reflected, the whole campus seemed to panic.
The normally friendly teachers began to get irritable, and they began to chase and gnaw, making terrible howls while shoving others into their mouths.
But strangely, no one ever attacked Shirley......
She didn't know why, but she was still scared, so she hid in the vents of the school cafeteria.
In this way, she hid until dusk......
Dad didn't answer the phone.
Mom didn't answer the phone either.
During this time, the only thing she could hear was roaring and wailing.
The adults were constantly dying, crying themselves, and gradually, the throat was crying a little painful, and the screams around them gradually became smaller, and in turn, the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.
Shirley knew that it wasn't a dream, because she had never dreamed for such a long time, and she shouldn't be hungry in her dreams.
Finally, after the sun went down, Shirley climbed out of the vent and into the back kitchen of the cafeteria, where she ate a plate full of squid rings.
If my mother knew that she had eaten so much, she would be very happy, because she always complained about her picky eater.
But...... Where's Mom? Where's Daddy?
......
After that, Shirley seemed to muster up some courage...... It's not that she's brave, it's that if a person really stays in an environment for a long, long time, then he can more or less do something that seems "bold".
Moreover, Shirley found that those uncles and aunts who had become strange didn't seem to be able to see themselves.
So just like that, Shirley is looking for her parents everywhere in the city, or looking for something she doesn't know what it will be. If I had to say it, it was these days, she just ran from one place to another without a goal.
During this time, she saw that the entire city had been reduced to slow-moving, rotting corpses, in addition to terrible dogs, and monsters that she had never seen in her nightmares.
Fortunately, everything doesn't attack itself, and even takes the initiative to bypass itself.
......
Except for that "big foot". It was different from the other monsters, because Shirley felt that it was chasing after her.
In fact, Shirley didn't know what to call the monster, because she hadn't seen each other all the time, but Shirley would often hear the sound of heavy, slow footsteps, and the sound of gasps, either through the wall or on the ceiling above her head, and it would often not appear for a long time, making people think that it had given up. But it never gave up, it always came back, and wherever it fled, the footsteps would always come suddenly, from somewhere, and then reach their ears.
Several times, Shirley tried to sneak around the corner and glance at the "big foot" to see what she really looked like, but in the end, she didn't muster up the courage to do so.
And just now, the footsteps came again, and Shirley began to run, as she had done several times before, into an alley, past a smelly aunt, and finally into a dimly lit and narrow memorial.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The sound of slow footsteps came from afar, and Shirley held her breath, knowing that as long as she did, she would be able to avoid the pursuit of "Bigfoot".
The clock ticked by......
Suddenly, Shirley's eyes widened as she ...... She was horrified to see a sewer in front of her...... Suddenly, it was pushed open.
A bloodied hand reached out.
Shirley clenched her teeth, she was very strong, she didn't shout, and even, she plucked up the courage to pick up a wooden stick from her side, which was quite thick for herself, and hit the monster that crawled out of the sewer in the head!
