Chapter 30: Times Have Changed
Seeing the off-road vehicle speeding away, Xiao Ke closed the iron door outside with confidence, and then strode back to the door.
The pigtailed man in front of him died because his head was blown by a bullet, so there was no corpse transformation, so Shook stuffed the pistol back into his waist, pulled the pigtailed man's legs and dragged them out, and then threw them on the lawn in the front yard at random.
Ma Rui and Ye Yao, who followed Xiao Ke out, stood behind him and watched silently, Ma Rui seemed to have a lot of questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start when the words came to his lips.
But Xiao Ke, who turned around, saw that he was a little puzzled, and took the initiative to talk to them: "If I don't kill him, we will probably die in the future, and we must not be soft on this kind of person for a while." ”
Ma Rui nodded, still not speaking. The nod was not in agreement with Shawk's words, but rather in response.
At this time, Lin Xue, who rushed down from upstairs, took over and said, "I heard you and Xiao Wang joke that you were a killer before, I didn't believe it at the time, shouldn't you really be?" ”
Schoke smiled and walked back into the room.
"There's no reason, does the killer still need to work properly? And when I listened to your conversation, I felt that you were usually very busy, and you were used to working overtime, so how could you still have time to do this kind of work. Lin Xue still followed behind and said to herself.
"I said I am, and if you don't believe me, what can I do?" Shook spread his hands, then turned and walked to the kitchen, took a can of beer from the refrigerator cabinet on the upper level, and took a sip.
Then looking at Ma Rui, who was standing aside in a daze, he turned around and took a can from the refrigerator, raised his head at him, and after confirming that the other party saw him, he threw it away.
In the eyes of outsiders, although Xiao Ke's shooting action just now was very neat, but in fact, because he had not touched the gun and killed people for too long, he still seemed a little hesitant, and a few years ago, he may not have had the opportunity for the other party to speak, and he had already sent the opponent on the road.
And until now, his heart rate was still unstable, and he had to rely on gulping beer to try to cool himself.
After all, there is a certain difference between killing the living and zombies.
"Seeing your gun, I believe it now. And why is the beer only given to him, not to me? Lin Xue glanced at Ma Rui, who happened to pull the tab on the can, making a gas eruption sound.
"You didn't say it, how would I know." Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows, turned around and took two more cans from it, then threw one of the cans to Lin Xue, and the other can slowly walked in front of Ye Yao, put it in her hand, and sat on the sofa by the way.
"No wonder you have such a nice place." Marry sat on the couch and took a sip of beer before looking around at the villa again.
"Is there any necessary connection between this? As I've said before, the housing prices here are really not expensive, and it's no exaggeration to say that as long as you have a normal job, you can afford it, as long as you don't dislike the remoteness of this place. ”
"Don't you care that those people will come back?" Ye Yao suddenly interjected. She held the can in both hands, and had no intention of opening it.
"If I don't get rid of that person, I'm still worried. There's no need to worry about it now. If it were you, would you think of provoking someone with a guy? With that, Shook pulled out his pistol from his waist and swirled it in his hand.
"I've never touched a real gun, can you show me?" Ma Rui just wanted to stretch out his hand, but the other party directly held the gun and shrank back.
"This is my favorite, accompany me from birth to death, this can't be touched by you." Shook leaned back on the couch behind him, and then said smugly, "But I can touch you with other guns." ”
"What else do you have?" Ma Rui looked at it with a slightly surprised expression.
"Uh-huh, but it's late enough today, so let's do it tomorrow."
"Why haven't they come yet?" Ye Yao said faintly, her attention was not on the conversation between the two at all.
"yes, what time is it?" Lin Xue said.
"I think it's better not to have too much hope for them." Shook looked up and took another puff, and the entire can was deflated by him.
"Who else do you want to wash, if you don't wash it again, I'll wash it." Shook stood up and casually tossed the can into the trash can next to the coffee table.
After three o'clock at night, the lights in the house gradually come on, and the only good thing about the bustling city center is that the power supply system is not so strained, so much so that electricity is still available for a week after the disaster.
But how long it will last is a new question.
However, even if the power is cut off, Xiao Ke is not too worried, because there is a home-grade generator in the basement of the house, and theoretically, as long as there is enough fuel, the daily electricity consumption should not be affected at all.
The lights in the bathroom are bright, but they are not heating lights, just ordinary incandescent lights.
When the sprinkler head is turned on, the water heater overhead jumps to a blue light with half-warm water flowing out of the sprinkler, showing a water temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, and it is still heating up gradually.
Ye Yao stared at it for a while, and was quickly attracted by the pure white bathtub on the side.
She used to take a shower almost every day when she was at home, but she hasn't bathed since she went to school, and now I really miss that feeling. But right now, she didn't have the heart to step into this bathtub.
She turned her head back and turned on the sprinkler head to the maximum, and water droplets poured down her face like a torrential rain.
The water temperature had not yet risen, Ye Yao stood motionless, letting the water drops slap on her body, and the grievances accumulated for many days gradually got out of control while washing away with the shower.
She hated her own uselessness, and even more hated the "love" from childhood to adulthood, and those so-called meticulous protection were just an excuse to break the wings of freedom, and no one asked her if she liked it.
The seeds of inadmissibility were planted in her childhood, and it was not a sorrow to move forward according to the planned life.
Her parents don't understand, and the people she meets will always treat her differently because she has a relationship, as if she was born without freedom.
Ye Yao closed her eyes tightly and refused to open them, she didn't even want to think about it, feeling the water temperature gradually rising.
It was not so much that the apocalyptic catastrophe destroyed her original life, but that it gave her a new lease of life, but the process was a bit painful and the sacrifices were too heavy.
Her mind flashed to her boyfriend's figure. She opened her eyes again, and for a moment she was even more determined in her choice, no matter what the cost, she would not return to her father's side.
The tragedy of the end of the world ends there, and now it is a beautiful world to break free from the shackles.
Coming out of the bathroom, Ye Yao just wrapped a bath towel, the wall lamp was not lit in the room, and Lin Xue, who was lying on the bed, had already fallen asleep, and there was a heavy breathing sound.
Just the last second Ye Yao entered the bathroom, she was still chattering, but she didn't expect to fall asleep so quickly. Ye Yao subconsciously glanced at the small shark alarm clock on the bedside table, as if it had only been washed for ten minutes.
I guess I haven't slept much for a while, so I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed.
Ye Yao picked up the dry towel on hand and wiped her wet hair. She didn't know where to look, and took a closer look around the room.
Ye Yao has also seen a lot of strangely designed rooms, but she has never seen a room designed in the shape of an hourglass. At the end of the bedroom, apart from the bed, there is only a flat table against the wall, which seems to be embedded in the wall, and has no legs.
However, the table does not seem to have any actual purpose, but is more like a platform for display, with only a few small potted plants placed on it.
There is also a U-shaped seat with no backrest on one side of the bed, which is also about the same length as the bed.
Then there is the leak of the hourglass, which is the two glass doors that lead from the bedroom to the bathroom, yes, not one but two, with a small passage almost five meters long in the middle of the two doors.
The aisles are so crowded that they can't be passed side by side, and the walls on either side are not designed to be stored, which is really hard to understand.
Ye Yao could only think that it might be purely because the house was big, and she wanted to create a little alternative style.
After wiping her hair a few times, she was also tired. Although her hair had not dried completely, it did not affect her from lying down now, leaning her head against the back of the bed.
She looked at Lin Xue who was nested in the quilt on the side, Ye Yao never thought that she would lie with a woman who had nothing to do with her. Although they are also survivors, compared to the communication with other people, the words of the two seem to be much less.
This may be what everyone often calls same-sex repulsion, and even now she feels very uncomfortable lying in bed.
But strangely, I didn't seem to have felt this way in the same room with Su Yi before, and it may also be because Ma Rui was there at the time.
The more Ye Yao thought about it, the more sleepy she became, and after rolling back and forth on the bed many times, she still made up her mind to get out of bed, put on slightly wide slippers and walked quietly out of the room.
She walked all the way down the hallway, passing three rooms without stopping, and when she reached the end, she quietly pushed open the door of the last room.
As if frightened, Ma Rui suddenly turned around, supported his body with one hand, and stared with wide eyes. After finding out that it was Ye Yao, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then moved his body to the back and sat up completely.
"Why are you here? Can't sleep? Marry asked.
"Yes." Ye Yao nodded, then closed the door and walked in: "What about Xiao Ke and the others?" ”
"He didn't sleep in the same room as me, and we're not girls, so wouldn't it be strange for two big men to squeeze into the same bed." Ma Rui thought for a while and continued: "Besides, boys are more courageous, and they won't be afraid to pull when they sleep alone." ”
"Whoever said that girls wouldn't be weird, you see I can't sleep and run to you." Ye Yao sat down along the edge of the bed, lifted the quilt and stretched her legs in.
