It was already dark.

Cheng Jiayi stood by the window and looked out. Obscured by tall buildings, she couldn't see the moon in the sky. Or there is no moon tonight.

She couldn't just wait, maybe mom and dad were waiting helplessly for her in some corner of the hospital.

Cheng Jiayi clenched her fingers.

She turned around, and in the dark room, she could clearly see the fruit knife on the coffee table. Thinking of the dead man next door, she was a little sickened.

At the end of the day, is humanity really going to be lost?

She counted the food. If you eat it in the current way, you can eat it for a week, including the one you get from next door. The meat doesn't last even a week.

Canned food and compressed biscuits cannot be eaten unless forced to do so.

But when is it a last resort?

Cheng Jiayi suddenly regretted it, she was still panicked at that time, and forgot to search for cash.

She opened the box of compressed biscuits, took out two small bags, and thought about adding another bag, as well as a bottle of extra thick sugar water, which was packed together in a small backpack.

Cell phones, keys, tissues, and what? Identity card. The fruit knife is still stuck in the lower back. Cheng Jiayi thought about it again, and then took out the spare key and put it under the floor mat outside the door.

She glanced at the elevator, listened, opened the door to the staircase, and went downstairs silently.

There was really no moon in the sky, and under the street lamps in the community, she was the only one walking silently. The street lamps stretched and then shortened her shadow, and I don't know how many people were watching her walking alone behind the black window.

Cheng Jiayi heard the vibration of the mobile phone, she took it out and took a look, it was still Du Yiyi, and said that no one answered his father's phone, and he was very scared.

At home, don't make a sound, and don't open the door when anyone knocks. She replied quickly.

"What are you doing?" Du sent them one by one.

I'm outside, walking to the hospital. Cheng Jiayi did not hide it. Only Du Yiyi cared about her alone. I want to know where she went.

"Be careful, my mom is ......"

Cheng Jiayi looked at the address sent by Du Yiyi one by one, the photo of Du's mother, and her name.

I'll be safe. She put her phone away.

In small fifth-tier cities, there are closed communities, and more are still not closed. Cheng Jiayi didn't dare to walk under the street lamp openly. She is afraid of people, and she is even more afraid of armed police soldiers.

In extraordinary times, any unconscionable behavior is suspicious.

She is a high school girl, walking alone outside in the middle of the night with compressed biscuit syrup, and she will definitely be suspected.

She is a high school girl who has discovered that her body is strengthened, and the country will not know about it. Those armed police who stand guard and patrol may have been strengthened.

Cheng Jiayi thought wildly, tried to avoid bright street lights, and hid in a dark place as soon as he heard the sound of distant cars.

Cities are like dead cities. It was the time when the lights of thousands of homes were on, but the high-rise buildings were all dark.

Did everyone find out that they had been strengthened and mutated? Or are they all scared?

The sound of an ambulance came from far and near, passing where she was standing. Someone else is sick. Not many people get sick? Or will you not get sick as long as you eat something in time?

Suddenly thinking of the miserable white corpse in the bathtub, Cheng Jiayi shuddered.

If you get sick, it will appear normal as long as you eat the human body? Their bodies are strengthened, and their energy is high, and they become a kind of food.

This thought made Cheng Jiayi even more frightened, and she walked in a hurry, eager to run.

There is a big square in front of it, and there will be square dances at this time on weekdays, but now it is deserted, Cheng Jiayi took a deep breath and raised his vigilance.

She didn't know why her heart was beating so hard.

It's so empty, the street lights are on, everything is clear at a glance. But she just felt that something was wrong, as if this bright surface hid a terrible horror that only appeared in the dark.

She walked silently, watching her shadow stretch and be stretched, looking around.

Suddenly, there was a sound in the green belt on the right, and Cheng Jiayi didn't have time to think about it, and ran suddenly.

She never knew she could run so fast, but the moment she jumped, she still saw a small black shadow running towards her in the green belt.

Dog? Cat? Cheng Jiayi pulled out the fruit knife.

She can't outrun mutated dogs and cats. If she is scratched or bitten by a mutant animal, will she die? Really turned into a zombie?

She turned her head. It was a cat, a black cat.

She could see the black cat's glowing eyes, and see its muscles as it ran.

She can't outrun the cat!

Everything in front of him was magnified, the fierce eyes of the black cat, the bouncing limbs, and the strange silence around him.

The crazy classmates in the classroom, the fallen piece on the playground, the man who was killed next door, the anticipation of mom and dad...... All this crossed his mind very quickly, Cheng Jiayi turned his head sideways, and the fruit knife hidden in his hand flashed sharply.

The black cat's movements seemed to be slow, and it was jumping up to pounce on itself. But it was so slow that it could even open its teeth.

The sharp blade of the fruit knife did not hesitate to meet it, let the black cat's head go straight into its throat, and slashed backwards with the power of the black cat's jump.

The sweet taste of blood seeped into the air, and the cat let out a scream and fell to the ground. The fruit knife was stained with blood.

Cheng Jiayi didn't dare to stay, wiped the fruit knife with the weeds next to him, poured out a little sugar water on the blade, and then wiped it with a paper towel, and then left in a hurry.

It's not that she doesn't want to carry the corpse of the black cat, it's just that the smell of blood can't be concealed.

Walking through the square, I vaguely heard another sound behind me, as if an animal was running over again.

She didn't dare to look back, there was a hospital not far ahead.

The front of the hospital was brightly lit, and several police cars stopped at the door with flashing lights, and ambulances also flashed in and out. There was no one to be seen inside the hospital gates. On weekdays, the parking lot is full, and there are only a few cars in the parking lot.

However, Cheng Jiayi still smelled blood.

She only hesitated for half a minute, and then walked in the light.

The road in front of the hospital gate is wide, and the gate is also average, and as soon as she appeared, she immediately attracted attention. More than a dozen pairs of eyes fell on her, and she immediately felt the pressure.

Mental power? The body is strengthened, the ears and eyes are sensitive, and the sixth sense is also sensitive?

She changed to her normal steps, but hurried towards the hospital gate.

"What for?" An armed policeman took a few steps forward and shouted.

The sound is a little familiar, and it makes people feel inexplicably safe to listen to.

"I ...... My dad was hospitalized, my mom was nursing, and I looked for them. Cheng Jiayi hurriedly replied.

"It's you." The man withdrew the gun.

Cheng Jiayi stared at the man.

"I saw you in the classroom today, what about the little boy who was with you?" The man gestured to jump out of the window, and Cheng Jiayi was stunned.

"He's my tablemate." Cheng Jiayi subconsciously replied, "Our school ......"

"Shh The man raised his fingers and made a silent gesture.
