Chapter 28: The Strange Dream Man
Jiang Xi dreamed.
Her dreams were a little strange.
She couldn't tell the reality a little.
When she sat up, she was in the warehouse. The light was dim, and it was obviously early in the morning. But I don't know why, Jiang Xi saw it very clearly.
Concubine Qin Mei vaguely teased Xiaoyu in her arms. Xiaoyu was much more energetic than before, but she still looked lazy, holding a wilted carrot with half-squinted eyes.
Bai Xuan curled up and fell asleep on the side, not knowing what she saw in her dream, her delicate brows tightened.
The same was true of Li Jincai next to her, but his body in the blanket trembled for a while, his cheeks were pale and abnormally pale from excessive blood loss, and his cheekbones were suspiciously ruddy.
She also wanted to take a closer look at Li Jincai's condition, when suddenly there was a whimper outside the aluminum door.
Approaching the small window, I saw a huge figure curled up by the flower bed at the door, and it was obvious that the mutant dog had never left.
The streets are quiet beyond.
If this is not the end of the world, it can be regarded as a very peaceful morning.
Thinking like this, suddenly a spirit stirred. It seemed that someone poured a basin of ice water on her body, and goosebumps suddenly stood up.
Gifted alertness told her that something extremely dangerous was approaching.
Almost instinctively, Jiang Xi opened her eyes again.
This time was different, and it seemed to drag her into the night for a moment.
She sat up, her eyes unable to see anything. The cold was like a pervasive pinprick in the darkness, and she couldn't help but hug her arms.
It was like a thick, icy fog all around, and it was incredibly quiet. Even Concubine Qin Mei's movements, Li Jincai's suppressed slight moan, went away together.
Yes, it's quiet, absolutely quiet. She could hear the blood flowing under her eardrum and the movement of her heart squeezing plasma in her chest.
She couldn't help but feel dazed, and suddenly felt a little lonely.
It seems that she is the only one between heaven and earth, and she doesn't remember where she came from, and she doesn't know where she went.
She sighed. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the street outside, like someone wearing leather shoes.
The voice was not slow, it came from far and near.
She couldn't help but ignite a trace of anticipation, but she immediately became vigilant, in the apocalypse, who would be a normal person at this time?
She subconsciously rubbed her eyes, as if this action had an effect, and the mist that shrouded her eyes dispersed.
She vaguely saw Concubine Qin Mei not far away.
At this moment, Concubine Qin Mei turned her back to her and did not move. She wanted to wake him up, but the voice came to her lips, and a strange thought came to her mind, would she turn around and change her face to look like someone else!
The strange thought made her shudder.
Da-da-da.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, and then the rolling door rang, as if the person outside the door wanted to come in and buckled the door panel.
But he tried for a long time, and the door did not move. Just the sound of fingers straining on the aluminum door panel - the man wanted to come in.
Jiang Ji wanted to scold him and tell him not to waste his efforts, they wouldn't let anyone in.
But then she changed her mind and kept quiet to give the illusion that there was no one here.
In this way, both men appear to be very patient.
After a long time, the trivial voice disappeared.
But Jiang Xi didn't relax, because she could feel that the people outside the door were still standing there, watching her through the thin door panel.
Jiang Xi stared in the direction of the door, and also wanted to see the other party's true face through this door.
They were at a stalemate. Until the other person starts pacing again.
The crisp clicking sound, every step, I want to step on the tip of Jiang Xi's heart.
Jiang Ji didn't think he would go away like this.
In the strange stalemate, the person outside the door finally spoke: "Can we talk?" ”
His tone was calm, matching the hazy darkness around him.
Unexpectedly, the man's tone seemed to be that of a young man.
Extremely patient young man.
But Jiang Xi knew that this was not an ordinary person.
It's a predator waiting for its prey to take the bait.
She hesitated, not knowing whether to speak or not. If you don't keep quiet, the other party will continue to think that there is no one inside.
At this time, it is actually an extremely fluke mentality to still have this kind of thinking.
But when dangerous things are approaching, many people will instinctively have an avoidance mentality of "can't see me, can't see me".
The other party clearly understands this mentality: "I know you're in there. You know, I can see you. ”
He spoke very slowly, with a casual coldness in his tone. It seems to contain indescribable loneliness, and it seems to have an uncontrollable patience that hates mortals but has to talk to mortals.
He said as he circled the room.
From the perspective of the warehouse structure, this is simply impossible to do - because the warehouse she is in is surrounded by stores on the left and right, and does not exist independently.
But Jiang Xi's gaze followed the sound of his footsteps and came to a conclusion. He did circle around the room.
Even in what should have been the obstacle next door, the footsteps didn't pause for the slightest.
At this moment, he should not only be in the warehouse, but in a special scene where the other party exists.
This particular scene coincides with a real-life warehouse.
For some special reason, this person couldn't get in here, but she had a hunch that as long as she got out of this door, even if it was just a finger to leave here, she would be doomed.
The thin walls became Jiang Xi's barrier, a mysterious force that kept the danger out.
"Actually, I just wanted to talk to someone." The sound of the other party's footsteps was still unhurried.
Xu wanted to pass the time of boredom, and he stretched out his hand against the wall.
His hands were white and slender, with a characteristic dryness and roundness, and they did not seem to threaten anything. However, such a hand, just lightly brushing the wall, leaves a not too shallow trace.
The lap was soon over, and he stopped at the door of the room again and began to knock: "Let me touch you." ”
His tone was faint, and he couldn't hear the joy or pain in it. Only that kind of loneliness, deep into the bone marrow, gave his origin a mysterious color.
Who is he? Is it a human or a youkai?
But his request sent a chill down the sleeve to Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi subconsciously bit her lip and grabbed the gun under her, as if only in this way would she feel safe.
"Who are you? What are you doing? Jiang Xi couldn't help but ask.
She wanted to suppress her fears. But many times, people can't overestimate their psychological capacity.
"Who am I? What am I going to do? The young man was a little puzzled and began to pace again, as if this was the only way he would not appear ....... Lonely.
"I am my mother's son, my next-door neighbor, a good student in my class, a good child in the eyes of my relatives, a loyal dog boyfriend to my girlfriend, a perfect husband to my wife, and a trustworthy father to my children. But are these me? It doesn't seem to be me, because this is me in the eyes of others, the real me, and no one describes it. So who am I? He smiled softly.
Is this a discussion of philosophical perceptions?
Jiang Xi fell into unprecedented anxiety.
The reason why people are afraid is because of the instinctive fear of the unknown.
The young man's voice continued, "You don't have to be afraid, I'll just take a light bite on you." ”
What is he talking about?
A bite?
Is he a zombie?
But can zombies talk?
Jiang Xi was stunned. Judging from the voice, the other party's position stopped in front of her at this time.
Between them, there was only a thin wall.
She felt a chill on her face, as if someone's hand was caressing her face. It's a particularly strange feeling.
Just as Jiang Xi was indulging in this cold touch, her heart suddenly beat violently, and a message came into her head.
Name:???
Race:??
Degree of Evolution: ??
Special Talents: ??
Special Skills:??
Weapons carried: ??
Lethality:??
Due to the lack of identification level, the information she read was covered with question marks.
Warning: The other party is not a normal human species, extremely dangerous!
She suddenly came back to her senses, and at some point, she was already standing at the back door of the warehouse, reaching for the doorknob.
After another second, she opened the door in a daze, inviting the zombies in.
She took two steps back, and the man outside was so terrible that he tempted him to open the door.
What exactly is that ability?
"Get out of here!" Jiang Ji scolded in a low voice.
The young man was silent, apparently this was not the result he wanted. After a long time, he said quietly: "Since you don't want to play games, then I'll come back at this time tomorrow." ”
The footsteps grew farther and farther away, and then the morning light shone in through the crack in the window. As the man appeared, the fog that shrouded him swept away, and at the same time, there seemed to be the roar of zombies in the distance and near, and the low barking of mutant dogs outside the door.
Jiang Xi turned over with a bone.
She jerked open the thin blanket that covered Li Jincai's face.
Bai Xuan hadn't fully woken up yet, he was too tired yesterday, and when he heard the movement and sat up, it was all because of the alertness he developed after the end of the world: "What's wrong?" ”
"Come and see, he's got a high fever again." Jiang Xi touched his forehead.
At this moment, Li Jincai was not so simple as having a fever, his whole body began to cramp again, and his lower lip was bitten by himself. Flipping open the sleeves and trouser legs, new blood came out.
Seeing Jiang Xi's movements, Bai Xuan suddenly sobered up and said, "Oh, what should I do now?" ”
She is a medical student, not a serious licensed doctor, not to mention that the medical equipment is rudimentary nowadays, and many examination equipment is not in hand. In Li Jincai's situation, except for physical cooling and massaging his limbs, nothing else can help.
But Jiang Ji thought of one thing, but said, "Did you bring the insulated box?" ”
Jiang Xi was talking about the leftover fish soup for Cai Hua, which was originally intended to be brought to Cai Hua at the same time, and it was specially wrapped in a thermos box and wrapped in a layer of plastic wrap. But when Gao Qiang went out, he didn't take it with him. At that time, he should have been thinking that Cai Hua should be hopeless. Even if you are rescued, you should become a zombie, and there is no need to try again.
Bai Xuan didn't understand for a while, but still took out the box.
When I opened it, everyone couldn't help but cover their noses.
The original milky white fish soup has a layer of fish jelly, and the fishy smell is more than ten times stronger than before.
Concubine Qin Meifei frowned her little face and looked disgusted: "Do you really want to feed him with this?" ”
Xiaoyu, the rabbit in her arms, jumped up unexpectedly and licked it into the bowl.
Humans find the taste disgusting, and it seems to like it. Maybe you can't say it, but the body instinctively knows that it's good for you.
In this regard, animals are sharper than humans.
Jiang Ji picked it up and said, "This is a life-saving thing." Don't make a fuss. ”
