Chapter 5
In the early morning of September 12, the command post of the garrison in the Beicheng District of the ** Army in the Hailan District area,
"Ringing ringing, ringing ringing!"
A hurried ringing phone woke up the sleepy officer on duty.
He picked up the phone and listened for a moment, then jerked it down and listened to the call by announcing an emergency notification to the commander.
After a while, the commander picked up the phone and accepted the order from Shangfeng.
"Yes, I am. Okay, understood. Yes, I will complete the task! ”
The commander who put down the phone had a solemn face and ran back to the office without hesitation.
He opened a drawer that he hadn't opened in a long time and pulled out a phone that had been placed inside.
After pressing a series of numbers, a voice came from the other side of the phone.
"An urgent order to inform all units to prepare for combat at the first level. There's a big task, remember that this is the highest level instruction and must be executed! ”
The commander, who put down the phone, sat down in the swivel chair, looked his head at the ceiling, and said worriedly, "It's still here after all..."
restaurant
"It's okay now, the front and back doors are blocked, and I can't get out if I want to."
The black female college student said in disappointment.
The white girl sitting next to her comfortingly took the black girl's hand, and the white boy opposite also looked worried and helpless.
"You shouldn't have closed the door just now!"
The black student leaning against the wall walked up to Jimmy and pointed at Jimmy's face angrily.
"Oh, so what do you think? Get out, are you sure you'll be safe when you go out? ”
Not to be outdone, Jimmy, who was being tasked by the black boys, fought back.
"I..."
Jimmy's words made the black student unable to find the words to refute for a while, so he sat back in a rage.
"Humph!"
Jimmy looked at the black guy who was running back with a look of disdain.
"He's just in a hurry, and he speaks a little rush, don't be like him. However, now we can't count on the police, and my relatives and friends probably can't come to help us. It's time to figure out how to not be stuck here forever, right? ”
The black uncle then walked up to Jimmy's side, calmly persuaded him, and spoke everyone's mind.
Hearing the words of the black uncle, the working man in the suit and leather shoes and the girl who came to drink also came over one after another.
Jimmy, on the other hand, didn't seem to hear what the black uncle said, just looked out the window and didn't know what he was looking at.
The man in the suit wanted to say something more when he saw that Jimmy didn't react, but was interrupted by a gesture from Jimmy just as he was about to open his mouth.
Seeing this, the three black uncles didn't say anything, just stood quietly next to Jimmy, while the white girl sitting in the corner accidentally saw the TV program playing on the TV in the restaurant.
"I think I know what's going on."
The white girl's words broke the quiet atmosphere in the room, and everyone looked in the direction the girl was pointing.
It turned out that the TV was playing a talk show about a small outbreak of the rabies virus in Queens two months ago.
The man who was talking at this time was a man who claimed to be a "biologist", who said that the incident in Queens was caused by the "rabies virus", but fortunately it was well controlled in the end.
After the expert finished speaking, the moderator asked him how to determine that it was a "rabies virus" and how to block the transmission.
Experts half-jokingly say that if you encounter an infected patient, be sure to keep him under control and send him to the CDC. Then, both the expert and the host burst out laughing.
Are the people outside the door what he calls "rabies" patients? ”
The white girl asks the crowd a question.
"Does that mean these people can be cured?"
The man in the suit had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Even if they can be cured, how can we get so many patients to the hospital?"
The black uncle shook his head, extinguishing the only remaining hope in an instant.
"I don't think it's that simple."
Jimmy, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.
At the same time, Ashley, who had been helping to take care of Billy in the back kitchen just now, also came to the front room.
"Can we cover the windows so that these people can't see us, maybe they'll leave?"
The sexy girl who had never spoken suddenly said something at this time.
"Well, yes, the scene outside is really terrifying."
Ashley nodded in agreement.
The sexy girl's proposal was approved by everyone, and everyone got busy.
The couple girl and Mike, who had been taking care of Billy in the back kitchen, also made their way to the front room at this time, and the others all cast concerned glances at them when they saw them.
"He, he, didn't make it..."
The couple girl said gloomily with a guilty face, and the expression of Mike next to her was not very good.
Hearing this bad news, everyone's mood was even lowered.
Mike looked at the couple girl next to him who was about to cry, reached out and patted her on the back, signaling that she had done her best.
Ashley was just about to walk over to comfort the couple, when suddenly she saw a figure pounce on her from behind and bite her white neck.
Suddenly blood spurted out, and her eyes widened with an incredulous expression.
But then it was replaced by pain and fear, and she wanted to shout but before she could do so.
The closest to her was Mike, who was also startled by the sudden sight, and there was a feeling of dampness and heat on his face, which turned out to be blood splattering on his face.
Mike instinctively pushes with his hand out of fear, but he doesn't expect this push to push Billy to the ground.
He looked at Billy on the ground, who was "dancing with his teeth and claws", and rushed up and punched him several times. After the fight, he pulled out a dinner knife from the shelf on the wall and stabbed Billy in the abdomen several times.
Billy, who was supposed to be dead, was still moving, struggling to sit up.
But the red-eyed Mike would not give him this opportunity, only to see Mike hold the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, aim at Billy's eye socket and thrust the knife in.
Billy, who was covered in blood, trembled a few times, and then there was no more movement, apparently dead.
It all happened so suddenly that no one else was prepared for it.
By the time everyone reacted, it was over, and Billy, who was already dead, got up again and bit the couple to death, and he was killed by Mike again, leaving Mike slumped and panting.
It seems that there are a lot of bloody scenes, so this time everyone is not too surprised.
Ashley stepped forward to check on the fallen couple, while Jimmy went to support Mike.
The couple girl was already out of breath, and Mike wasn't hurt, but his mood was a little wrong.
"Let's dispose of Billy's body first, and the others will find newspapers or something to cover the windows."
Jimmy spoke to the crowd after making sure Mike wasn't hurt.
"And what about her?"
Ashley crouches down next to the dead couple and looks up to ask his uncle Jimmy.
"As for her, tie up her body first."
Jimmy looked at the body of the couple girl and thought for a while.
"Why?"
Ashley looked puzzled when he heard his uncle's answer.
"Ashley, don't you understand? The body was tied up to prevent her from rising up again to attack the others. ”
Mike lit a cigarette and took a deep puff before explaining for Jimmy.
Jimmy looked at Ashley and nodded in agreement with Mike.
"These people aren't like the bullshit experts on TV who say they are, they're more like zombies in the movies, aren't they?"
Jimmy said angrily.
Jimmy's statement is too sensational, but when you think about it, it makes sense.
Although there are still people who question this statement, they do not say it explicitly, but begin to act on Jimmy's instructions.
It was evening.
With the joint efforts of everyone, the transparent glass window has been blocked, but the sound of hitting the window has never stopped, reminding everyone that the group of "crazy people" outside the restaurant are always thinking about coming in.
But the good thing is that the glass windows are strong enough to keep them out for a while.
Billy's body was packed into a large bag, and the body of the couple girl was tied up in a sturdy bundle.
At this time, Jimmy Ashley and Mike are crouching in front of the body of the couple girl, and Jimmy is holding a pocket watch in his hand.
After a while, the "couple girl" began to tremble.
She opened her gray eyes suddenly, black and purple veins appeared on her face, and her mouth full of black blood kept roaring at Jimmy, as if she was about to break free from the rope and rush up to tear Jimmy apart.
Jimmy ignored the "couple girl" and looked at the pocket watch in his hand.
After reading the time, he put the watch in his pocket, turned his head and gave Mike next to him a look, and walked away with Ashley.
Mike watched the two leave, and then stared at the "couple girl" again.
With an elusive grin, he raised the knife in his hand and stabbed it hard.
