In the wee hours of the morning, the sound of gunfire pierced the silence of the night.

Hearing the gunshot, the keen-eyed Zhang Yan suddenly got up from the bed, and a thought flashed, and a knife and a hammer appeared in her hands.

Probably frightened by the madman in the white night before, Zhang Yan has been sleeping very lightly these days, and she will wake up as long as she hears a little noise.

There had been two false alarms before, but this time, Zhang Yan heard a commotion after the gunshot.

The place where the riot had taken place seemed to be some distance from the observation area, and Zhang Yan could only hear a series of gunshots, followed by words like "sacrifice," "strange," and "report," which could not be connected together.

The two pessimistic women in the dormitory slept like dead pigs.

Only the sarcastic woman was awakened.

She didn't notice that Zhang Yan, who was sleeping on the top bunk, had sat up fully armed, she turned over and muttered:

"These soldiers are really useless, and you can kill a few zombies and shoot dozens of shots......"

After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Yan stayed awake all night.

Her behavior in the observation area these days is very ordinary, well-behaved, and she tries to answer questions from the trainer every day.

After dawn, she had been in the observation zone for seven days, and if nothing else, she would be taken into the safe zone.

Really.

While Zhang Yan was eating breakfast, the trainer found her and said that she could follow her into the safe zone.

Zhang Yan finally got back the backpack she had been detaining.

She followed the trainer to the safe zone, where she found a life caretaker in the safe zone who was responsible for housing her home.

After a complicated process, Zhang Yan was finally assigned to a certain dormitory, and the life administrator took Zhang Yan to that building, and told her about the rules in the safe zone on the way.

The safe zone was previously a large community with its own wells, electricity supply system, heating system, and with sufficient resources and manpower, the entire community was able to keep the occupants afloat.

The soldiers are leading some residents to build greenhouses and keep their livestock warm, and all the greenery and open space in the community are occupied by these things, which are to ensure that the residents can eat fresh vegetables and eggs in the future.

But for at least three months, the only people in the zone can eat are instant noodles, compressed biscuits, canned food, somen in consommé, rice porridge, potatoes, cabbage, and radish.

However, for the future, this life administrator in military uniform is full of confidence and expectation.

He said:

"As long as we work together to defend this pure land, I believe we will be able to wait until the day when all the zombies are starved to death."

Even Zhang Yan was a little touched when she looked at his hopeful eyes.

It's just that Zhang Yanke is not so sluggish, when she saw those greenhouses and enclosures, she was even more sure of one thing - the government knew that those zombies would not starve to death in a month, and they knew that the zombies would mutate.

Of course, Zhang Yan would not be stupid enough to question this, she was silent for a while, and pretended to be curious and asked the life administrator:

"Gunshots in the middle of the night...... What's going on here? ”

Zhang Yan thought that the life manager would keep his mouth shut, but he didn't expect that he would answer in detail:

"In the middle of the night? A zombie accidentally ran in. That zombie was different from other zombies, I heard that it was very good at jumping, and it was very fast. It seems that there is a mutation among the zombies, and these zombies will not starve to death so easily, and the government named them second-level zombies. ”

Zhang Yan was a little stunned.

It's so easy for the government to tell the story of the second-level zombies? Shouldn't this be a secret?

She didn't know what to answer, and fell silent.

When the life administrator saw Zhang Yan's reaction, he smiled:

"The government is recruiting volunteers, and citizens who are willing to go with the army to kill second-class zombies can receive a reward of 2,000 yuan a day. If you know young men who want to go, you can bring them to me. ”

It turned out that the news was revealed to recruit volunteers.

Zhang Yan nodded:

"Two thousand? That's a lot. ”

The life manager sighed:

"It's a lot, but it's a bit dangerous, and few people want to go. They all counted on letting the soldiers stand up first, and wanted to wait until the soldiers couldn't stand it anymore. However, if the soldiers really can't stand it, all they can do is wait to die. ”

Zhang Yan also sighed:

"Will even the army be unable to withstand it?"

The life coach looked at Zhang Yan with a complicated and painful look in her eyes:

"Soldiers are also people. We all have the weaknesses that people should have, but from the moment we put on the military uniform, we have a mission on our shoulders, and we must brainwash ourselves to think that we have no weaknesses, otherwise we will not be able to survive at all. ”

Zhang Yan was silent.

"Do you think I'm talking too much nonsense? I'm sorry, I'm not usually like this, it's just, seeing that you always think of my daughter, I can't help but nag up, she also has short hair and likes to wear black clothes......" Speaking of this, the life administrator's smile became a little bitter, "My daughter is weak, she didn't survive, and the virus in her body mutated automatically." I could only watch her turn into a zombie and then shoot her again, and I couldn't do anything but that......"

The middle-aged man's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something inconsequential, but Zhang Yan could still feel the powerlessness and despair behind this sentence.

Zhang Yan didn't know how to comfort him, thought about it for a long time, and only held back four words:

"Thank you."

Hearing these four words, the life administrator smiled, and the smile was extraordinarily warm:

"With your words, it will make me happy for days."

The life administrator sent Zhang Yan to room 1608 on the sixteenth floor of the No. 6 elevator building and left.

The place where Zhang Yan will live in the future is a small apartment of more than 30 square meters, with six beds squeezed into a small space, and it seems that she can't settle down at first glance.

The roommates are also more enthusiastic, as soon as Zhang Yan arrived, they cared about Zhang Yan from the bottom of the matter, and they couldn't wait to ask her everything from birth to the present.

And Zhang Yan used her lukewarm attitude to extinguish the fire of gossip among those women.

Zhang Yan didn't want to waste time on these delicate women, befriending them would not be beneficial to her, and it might drag them down.

Zhang Yan asked one of the most enthusiastic women and learned how to find Yan Zhuo.

She opened her backpack and tinkered with it for a while, then deliberately took out a piece of bread from her backpack in front of those people, and then she put her backpack on the bed so casually, and left the dormitory without looking back.

After Zhang Yan left, the five women in the room began to complain -

"This woman is really unsociable!"

"I've only been assigned a place to live now, and nine times out of ten I came out of the observation area, can it be normal?"

"I don't know what her bulging bag is loaded......"

"Open it and take a sneak peek?"

"yes, I'm also curious, let's take a look, don't take anything from her."

The more they talked, the more curious they became.

Two people were reluctant to do such a thing, and they were reprimanded by the other three for being "unsociable", so they had to let the three open Zhang Yan's backpack.

When they opened their backpacks, they were shocked!

Because this backpack is full of all kinds of food!

Although they are all foods with a long shelf life sold in some supermarkets, and the taste is not particularly good, but for them who can only eat canned meat once a week, it is tantamount to a delicacy!

Seeing so many things, some people became greedy.

A woman with glasses muttered in a whisper:

"If she only took one or two, she wouldn't have found it...... It's a big deal, give her money! Besides, as long as the five people in our dormitory insist that they don't take it, she is alone, even if she finds out, where can she report it? There's no monitoring here......"

At the instigation of the glasses woman, the five of them couldn't resist the temptation and took a pack of spicy tenderloin, two oranges, and a bag of melon seeds.

And Zhang Yan actually stood at the door to tie her shoes and never left.

Hearing the voices of these people, she narrowed her eyes and looked at her empty hands, but in the end she still didn't choose to break in.

She left silently, but she didn't decide to end it like that.

……

In the lobby on the first floor of each building, there is a life administrator, and the life manager will have a register in his hand, and Zhang Yan only needs to report her name to check the register.

It took her four hours to inquire about building by building, and she finally found Yan Zhuo's residence.

Yan Zhuo is completely different from her, he takes the path of making good connections, and as soon as he enters the safe zone, he applies to be a medical volunteer.

He can see most of the diseases, and if anyone in the building has a minor illness, he will help diagnose it and then go to the military region to get medicine, and almost the entire building knows him.

When Zhang Yan appeared in front of Yan Zhuo's office, Yan Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief-

"If you don't come, I'm going to die of exhaustion. I don't want to do this kind of work here at all. ”

Zhang Yan nodded:

"So what do you want to do? I decided to become a volunteer and go out hunting Level 2 zombies, what do you think? ”

Yan Zhuo smiled:

"I'm at your command, Captain."

Zhang Yan asked lightly:

"I searched all the buildings, but I didn't find Zheng Ziye. Do you know where he went? ”

Yan Zhuo took off his white coat and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I know how to contact him."

Yan Zhuo seemed to be ready to become a medical volunteer at any time, and he handed over a neatly filled resignation report to the life manager, and spent ten minutes convincing the life manager to finally unload the job.

Zhang Yan didn't immediately sign up to kill the second-level zombies, but told Yan Zhuo:

"You can accompany me back to the dormitory first and pick up my backpack, and I may be ...... if I go by myself. There will be some trouble. ”

Yan Zhuo looked at her with inquiring eyes:

"Why did you leave your backpack in your dorm?"

Zhang Yan is calm:

"Of course, it was a deliberate attempt to test them."
