Sinking rainy nights, empty suburbs, isolated villas. A group of seven of us is hiding here, enjoying the calm after the "storm". But at this moment, something happened in the villa again.

A gap peeked out of the hidden door, and by the dim light I could see the eye in the crack in the door.

"Who's there, come out." I tried my best to suppress my uneasiness and questioned the door. Judging from the height of the 'eyes', it should be a human being, and it should be a living person. If it was a zombie behind the door, it should have rushed out a long time ago.

There was no movement, the door was still open, and I felt as if the eyes were looking at me, sending chills down my back. However, no matter how much my heart fluctuates, I must pretend to be calm on the surface. I raised my voice and asked again, "Who's there!" Come out for me! ”

This time the door opened, but it was Peng Miao's house.

"What's wrong, Xiao Lei?" Sister Peng came out and asked, "Are you still afraid of the dark?" ”

I ignored her ridicule, stared at the door with my eyes, and asked without looking back, "Sister Peng, who is in that room?" ”

"Huh? I don't know, I haven't been there. Peng Miao looked at the door and said, before the words fell, her eyes suddenly widened, and she exclaimed: "Ah! What is that! ”

It seems that she is not clear either. The girls were all in the room and the boys were downstairs, so that person must not be among us. With the sound of going upstairs, Ao Xiang and Lin Yang also ran to my side and asked urgently, "What's the matter?!" ”

I didn't speak, Peng Miao raised her arm tremblingly and pointed to the door, and the two of them looked at each other, and they were stunned. I said again to the door, "Say it again, come out!" ”

I made up my mind to pay attention, if the other party doesn't move again, I'll rush in, regardless of the bull ghost snake god inside you, and then blow it up.

The squeaky ——— door opened, and I didn't expect the door of such a high-end villa to make such a disgusting sound. The figure of an adult man appears in front of us.

I looked carefully through the light, and it was an old man in his sixties, wearing a pale yellow Tang costume, with an expressionless face and a pair of reading glasses trimmed with gold edges, reflecting calm and composure. Looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he was not injured at all. The old man's figure is relatively rich, his belly is wider than his chest, he should have been a rich man before, and now it seems that he may be the owner of this villa. But why did he hide, and why did he come out now?

When you meet the other party, you must have a general evaluation of him and a judgment on his identity. This is something I ask myself to keep in mind in the future.

"Who are you?" I asked. In fact, I didn't recognize him even if he said his name, so I asked him just to let him speak, so that I could judge whether he was a "person" or not.

"Hello." The old man's voice came out in a deep and vicissitudes of life.

"Who are you?"

The old man first looked around, looked at us one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on me, and then said slowly, "This is my house." ”

Sure enough, the old man was the owner of the villa. Although he can't be easily convinced because of his words, but in these days, it doesn't matter what the identity is.

"Hello old man, it turns out that this is your house." Sister Peng whispered on the side: "I'm sorry, we don't know, just ...... without permission."

I stretched out my hand in front of Sister Peng, interrupted her words, and then looked at the old man and said, "Why have you been hiding inside." ”

The corners of the old man's mouth curled slightly, and he said slowly: "Young man, you are also from outside, aren't you?" I don't need to say much about what the world has become now. People's hearts are unpredictable, so we have to guard against it! A large group of you suddenly broke in, and I, an old man, am not your opponent, so naturally I have to hide first to see the situation. ”

"Then why are you out again now?" Ao Xiang asked.

"Hehehe...... old man raised his hand and said to me, "I heard the conversation between this little friend and this girl just now, so it seems that you are not a very vicious person, which reassures me a lot, and besides, I have been found again, and I can't hide it if I want to." ”

Before the age of 18, if someone called me a child, I would have a lawsuit, and I had to give people a roll of eyes at the very least, and now, I don't think it anymore, let alone how old people are, this kind of title is a matter of course.

"And your sense of smell is very keen, I just glanced at your back just now, and you immediately felt something strange."

I didn't respond and waited for him to say.

The old man said again: "I can't hide in it all the time, after all, the food stored before is downstairs, if I sneak downstairs, once you find out, I'm really afraid that you will throw my old bones out......"

"You're the only one here." I asked, but my question now is more flat than the tone of the declarative sentence.

"Yes......" The old man's originally kind face was suddenly half lost.

"Don't you have any family?" I glanced at the room behind him, the door was quite open, but there was no light inside, it was pitch black. I wouldn't have asked such questions the other day, but now I'm not afraid to remind people of the pain of losing a loved one, and if I'm going to be under the same roof with this person, I have to get to know him clearly.

The old man shook his head helplessly, and said faintly: "Since the outbreak of that strange disease, I am the only one left in this house......

Peng Miao snorted and said, "Strange disease? That's ......, old sir."

I waved my hand again to interrupt Sister Peng's words, I knew what she wanted to say, but there was no need to explain, although the zombie virus can also be said to be a disease in some ways, it is an incurable terminal disease, and the infected people have long since died, leaving only a pair of skins to continue to carry out the simplest instinct, that is, to eat. But this notion is not acceptable to everyone, not only such old people, but also people of all ages, who are willing to think that this is a curable disease, and when one day human beings invent effective medicines, they can return to the peaceful life of the past...... To put it bluntly, it is a kind of escape psychology, for zombies, there is only elimination, not cure.

I sighed secretly, and what the other party said was almost the same, and I didn't want to inquire about the name, so I said to the old man: "Old man, I tell you clearly, we just want to rest here......"

"I know." This time, the old man interrupted me, "You can do whatever you want, in these last days, human beings are to help each other." But I only have one condition, I hope you will not enter my room. As he spoke, the old man turned his head and pointed to the back.

"Why?" I frowned again.

"Hehehe......" The old man said: "After all, we are first acquaintances, no one knows anyone, I don't have anything to do and I won't come out and walk around at will, you can use the other rooms on the second floor and the first floor as you like, you can do whatever you want, I just hope you can leave me a quiet place, let my old bones live for a few more days." Hehehe......"

I thought about it, and what he said was right, this old man is quite wise. If he still dictates to us, restricts this restriction and that, I can't guarantee that he will not be moved. It's like the good temper of the male protagonist in the walking dead American drama, but I don't have it now.

I thought about it secretly, then looked up at the old man and said, "Deal, we don't interfere with each other." ”

"Thank you, young man...... Then I'll go to sleep now. After saying that, the old man waved his hand, turned and walked into the room. Then came the sound of the door locking.

I turned around and said, "Sister Peng, you go back to sleep first." ”

"Xiao Lei ......"

"It's okay, we are three shifts keeping vigil, you can rest steadily."

"Then what's the matter, you're also tired, I'll help you on duty......" Peng Miao was about to say, I directly held her shoulders and gently pushed her into the room, then withdrew, and said, "Okay, you go to sleep quickly." With that, I closed the door.

"Leizi, what's wrong?"

I looked at the old man's door with a deep face, and then said in a low voice, "When I am on duty at night, I also have to monitor the upstairs." ”

"Good!" Lin Yang responded. Ao Xiang next to him also nodded.

"If he makes any extra moves, kill him!" I said firmly, the voice was only enough for Lin Yang and Ao Xiang to hear.

Lin Yang snorted. Ao Xiang on the side was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily.

Non-interference...... It's also the first time I've encountered this kind of thing. Since the villa belonged to the old man, how could he let us rest here so easily, and still be able to use the room as he pleased. It stands to reason that most of the old people of his age are old-fashioned, and it would be good to give us a room, but now they all let it out...... But in the last days, I might have made that choice instead. In order to save one's life, one sometimes has to give up everything outside of one's body. But I always felt that something was wrong...... While I won't kill people casually, I won't allow any external causes to affect the safety of my team, and if there's something wrong with this old man, I'm not going to wait for him to show his true form before I do it.

I couldn't think much about it now, my mind was starting to mess up, it felt like someone was stirring it with a stick, my eyelids were shaking, and I knew that my body was about to lose its hold.

After that, Lin Yang helped me downstairs, and my legs were already seriously weak. When I got to the first floor, I threw myself on the sofa, my brain couldn't think about anything, my eyelids limply closed together, and I fell directly into a dream-

- This is the ruins of a city, and there are no more buildings than three floors in sight, only ruins. Flocks of crows circled back and forth in midair, their low chirpings surrounding the land. I was alone, standing in the middle of a small clearing in the rubble, walking aimlessly in circles.

Where is this, why am I here, and what about the others...... I don't know, and I don't seem to know, that there are no living creatures around me except the greedy blackbirds overhead.

Didi ...... There was a sound of car horns, and I looked back, far away at the junction of heaven and earth, a group of vehicles gradually appeared. What kind of car is this, so loud. In an instant, the convoy was not far ahead of me. I hurried over there, raising my hands as I ran to signal that there was someone here. I wanted to shout, but I couldn't.

A... Two ... Three... The convoy drove past me one by one, and none of them stopped. I don't know what material the windows are made of, so I can't see the people inside clearly.

Squeak –

When a car finally stopped, I hurriedly ran over and pulled the door with my hand, but I couldn't open it, so I had to knock on the window. At this moment, the window of the car slowly lowered, and a familiar face appeared in front of me.

"Grass! You're not dead yet! Hahaha! ”

"Fat ...... Fatso...... Fatso! You're alive?! "I didn't care why I was speaking up again, my attention was all on the man's face. Sitting in the car is my best friend who used to live in the same building as me, the fat man Chen Xiao!

"What the hell, you kid doesn't have a good word in his mouth!" The fat man cursed, then lit a cigarette.

"Fatty! Fatso! That's great! You're not dead yet! That's great! ”

The fat man snorted, spat out a puff of cigarette, and said, "Okay! Don't go crazy! I have to go! ”

"Huh? Walk? Where are you going? ”

"Hey, hey!" The fat man smiled slyly and said, "Go to a good place where you don't have to worry about safety!" ”

"Wait, I'll go too! Don't leave me! With that, I started to pick the car door, trying to climb through the window.

Boom! All I saw was darkness in front of me, and then I was hit hard in the face and fell to the ground.

"you,, go! You don't come to mix! Roll where to go! Grassy! The fat man shouted at me.

"Fatty! You! "I can't believe that the fat man won't let me get in the car! Why!

At this time, another voice sounded from the fat man's side: "Brother Shi, you can't go there!" Ha ha! As he spoke, a boy's head poked out.

Xiao Fan! Liu Xiaofan!

"Xiao Fan! Aren't you already ...... How come?! ”

"Brother Shi, you promised to protect me well, but you didn't do it, you really disappointed me! I'm messing around with the fat guy now, let's go to a safe place together! You can make do with it yourself here! Hahaha! ”

"Xiao Fan! You listen to me, I ......"

Didi !! At that moment, I was interrupted by another horn from behind.

"Let's go! What about ink! A gruff voice came. I looked back and saw a head sticking out of the rear window......

Uncle! Uncle Zhu!

"Alright! Drive! The fat man gave an order, and then flicked the half of the cigarette butt in his hand out. I could clearly see that when the cigarette butt flew out of the car window, it instantly disappeared. Before I could figure it out, the car was already speeding away.

The fat man couldn't count on it anymore, so I had to pin my hopes on the uncle in the back car. But what I didn't expect was that the uncle's car didn't even stop, and drove past me. I saw my uncle give me a strange look, and at the same time I heard a voice......

"Big brother is a bad guy!"

Xiaotong?!

What's going on?! What the hell is going on?! Why are you all gone! Why leave me! Where are you going!!

I didn't have time to think about it, I took a step and chased after it, the strange thing is that their speed has not slowed down, but they have always kept the same distance from me, when did I run so fast? I don't know! I do not know!

Running and running, another figure appeared in front of him. The man stood on top of a ruin, and the sunlight shining from the front made me only see his silhouette. When I ran closer, I clearly saw that the man was holding a knife in his hand, a Tang knife!

Little Seven?!

I saw that person jumped down from the ruins in an instant and jumped directly in front of me, this time I can confirm it, it is Xiao Qi. He pressed my shoulder with one hand, and suddenly my body couldn't move, I couldn't feel Xiao Qi's hand, but I knew that he was the one who made me stop.

"Don't chase it...... That's not where you should be. Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Qi said? Xiao Qi spoke?! What's the situation?!

I didn't pay much attention to it, but shouted, "What are you talking about!" My brother is over there! ”

"They're not your brothers."

"you! What do you know! Get out of here! Don't get in the way! "I waved my hand and punched it.

Flutter –

Xiao Qi is broken.

It's not just Xiao Qi, the whole picture is broken.

All around me, there was darkness and nothing.

- Don't be confused anymore

Who? Who's talking?

- You still have an unfinished life

Who are you! Come out for me!

——The past is gone, and the living will continue to walk

Who are you!

- You carry far more than you think

What do you mean?!

- They are dead, and you will continue to struggle in the world

He's dead...... Is it?

- "You must be strong to live!" ”

Ahh............hh

When I opened my eyes, a ray of sunlight shone on my body, and I felt a sense of warmth and comfort that I had never felt before.

"Xiao Lei!"

I heard Sister Peng's voice and wanted to look up, but my body didn't obey the call, so I could only stare blankly at the ceiling.

"Uh......h Uh...... "I wanted to speak, but I couldn't say a word at all, I could only hum."

"Quick! Light rain, bring the water! Sister Peng's voice again.

I heard a sound of running, and then a delicate-skinned arm reached behind my neck and gently lifted my head. Only then did I see that the owner of the hand was Sister Peng. Xiaoyu stood behind, her face was still expressionless, and she looked at me in a daze.

Sister Peng held a bowl in her other hand, slowly put it to my mouth, and said, "Come, drink some water first." ”

I didn't open my mouth. Because what I heard just now was the water that Sister Peng asked Xiaoyu to take...... How is Xiaoyu now, is she hating me, will she mix something in the water to hurt me, I don't know...... I'm not sure......

Seeing that I was tightly closed, Sister Peng showed a worried expression and said, "Come, Xiao Lei, don't be too hard, relax, and drink saliva." ”

I still didn't respond. At this time, a voice suddenly appeared next to him, "What a trouble! Sister Peng, give me the water! ”

Then a white arm suddenly stretched out, snatched the bowl in Sister Peng's hand, and then another hand grabbed my cheek, and then my mouth was pinched open. Then the man shoved the bowl directly into my mouth, and the bowl hit my teeth with a crunch sound, and then began to pour water into my mouth!

Woo-woo-woo—!!

"Oops! Stop, Satsuki! You can't drink like that! Look at Xiao Lei rolling his eyes! ”

In a trance, I saw the light rain move, and then there was a snap, and the water bowl on the side of my mouth was knocked away, pop! The bowl must have been broken......

When the bowl was knocked off, most of the water in it was spilled on my face, but I didn't care about it, it was full of water from my mouth to my throat, and I couldn't swallow it at all!

"Pounce...... Ahem... Ahem, ahem! I spat out a mouthful of water and started coughing, and all the water in my throat gushed out and sprayed on my jaw and body.

"Xiao Lei! How are you! Sister Peng was frightened and asked anxiously while patting me on the back.

The violent cough made me sit up a little, and I also saw the culprit who poured water on me just now, Lin Yue, who was now looking at my face with a 'victorious' expression. But I can't speak to discipline her now, this crazy woman! Wait until I'm ready...... Ahem, ahem!

When I finished coughing, I slumped and lay down again. Originally, I was just weak, but after this toss, I felt very sore again, I was angry! Peng Miao took some paper from the side and carefully wiped the water stains on my face...... Hey, it's better to be Sister Peng.

It seems to be a water bowl flying in the light rain just now, doesn't this girl hate me, or is there another deep machine......

But what surprised me even more was that Xiaoyu flew the bowl in Lin Yue's hand, this Miss Lin didn't say anything, did she have such a good temper, or was she more excited than angry when she saw me offended...... Forget it, look back and think about it, I can't move now anyway, so I'll sleep more. Thinking of this, I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

When I woke up again, it was still bright, I slept very comfortably, I didn't have any strange dreams, and when I woke up, I didn't feel any pain in my body, but I didn't feel any strength.

This time, no one paid attention to me, so I quietly looked at the ceiling first. Well? This doesn't seem to be a first-floor hall. After a while, I raised my head slightly, only to realize that this was the bedroom on the second floor where I had played the piano before. Why did you get here?

I looked around me again and saw that I was lying on a large bed, and there was another person sitting on the edge of the bed, with his upper body lying on the bed, as if he was sleeping. The man didn't face me, but I could tell at a glance who it was.

"Sister Peng? Sister Peng? I exclaimed softly.

"Hmm... Hmph..."Peng Miao snorted lazily, turned her face in a different direction and went back to sleep.

"Uh......" Sister Peng's two snorts made my heart jump for a while, I quickly shook my head vigorously, and shouted again: "Sister Peng! ”

"Huh? …… Yes! This time, Peng Miao opened her eyes at once, and when she saw that I was looking at her in a daze, she immediately sat up straight and asked with concern: "Xiao Lei!" You're awake! ”

I nodded and smiled awkwardly.

"How are you feeling right now?" Peng Miao asked urgently, and while asking, she also moved her hands, touching my palm for a while, and sticking the back of her hand to my head for a while.

"It's okay, I'm feeling better."

Sister Peng looked at me suspiciously, and checked me uncomfortably, making sure that there was no obvious problem, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You little ghost, you scared us to death." Sister Peng looked at me and said helplessly.

"Aang? What's wrong with me? ”

"What's wrong...... Did you know that you've been asleep for two days? Sister Peng said as she took a bowl from the bedside table, and said, "Come, let's drink some water first." ”

"Two days?!" I took the bowl and asked in surprise, "What time is it?" ”

"Today is the 22nd."

I'm angry...... The day I escaped to the villa was the night of the 20th, and today it was 22, and I slept for so long. I said how I feel so mentally comfortable, it turns out that two days have passed, and this sleep has made up for the previous one.

I didn't hesitate for a while, mechanically took two sips of the water bowl, and then was decisively choked...... "Ahem, cough, cough!" ”

"Slow down, look at it!" Sister Peng hurriedly took the water bowl, put it aside, and then took some tissue paper to dry the sprayed water for me. While wiping it back, he said: "You have always had a low-grade fever before, and you still talk nonsense in your dreams, but it scared us. By yesterday afternoon, you woke up once, and then you took a sip and fell asleep again. ”

Dream? Did I dream? …… Yes, I dreamed, a very special dream, I slowly closed my eyes, searched for the memory of that dream, slowly, slowly searched, finally, I found the 'thread' of the memory, and then 'pulled' hard.

I remembered that I had a very strange dream. I dreamed of those people, those who had left me. They're going to leave in a car, where are they going? Why can't you bring me? How could Xiao Qi appear in my dreams? By the way, Xiao Qi still spoke in my dream! What the hell is going on......

"Xiao Lei? Xiao Lei! ”

"Ang...... Rise! What, what's wrong? "I was once again brought back to reality by Sister Peng from thinking.

"What do you want? Really! Peng Miaowei frowned and said a word to me, then pulled the quilt covering me up again, and said, "Don't think nonsense, you lie down first, I'll go downstairs to get you something to eat, I haven't eaten for two days, I must be hungry." ”

"Ang...... Ok......"

"Alright, wait!" With that, Peng Miao turned around and prepared to leave the room.

"Wait for Sister Peng!"

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

I looked at her and asked, "What about the others?" ”

"It's all downstairs!" Peng Miao said: "It was Lin Yang and the others who carried you from downstairs to here before, and they came to see you just now." Do you want to call them up? ”

I looked down and thought for a moment, and said, "Well, no. Tell them I'll just go down on my own in a moment. ”

Peng Miao tilted her head to look at me, and then said dryly: "Okay! I went down. With that, he walked out of the room and closed the door with his hand.

Toot ~ er ~~~~

As the door closed, my stomach rattled. I'm angry, are you so hungry? I don't even feel it myself, what are you screaming for...... I subconsciously looked down and saw that there were still two bruises on my slightly visible abdominal muscles. I forgot where I knocked it......

Ay? No, Ang! Why am I not wearing clothes?! I realized that I wasn't wearing a shirt when I looked at it, and then I reflexively lifted the quilt to take a look...... Even the panties are gone...... I'm angry!

Why is this all naked, where are the clothes? I quickly looked around, and there was not a single piece of clothing in the room, but I found a cabinet. I looked at the door, then hurried out of bed, trying to get some clothes from the cupboard. As a result, as soon as my feet touched the ground, I went straight to the soft, and I knelt on the ground.

Syllable!! There was a sound of plastic breaking.

"Uh-huh......!!!" I held back my strength to keep myself from screaming, and a heart-piercing pain came from my knee. I endured it for a long time before I looked down. I'm angry! It turned out that when I knelt down, my knee happened to hit a small hard plastic chair, which should have been sitting on Sister Peng just now, and due to too much force, the chair had been smashed by me. One of the pieces of plastic also cut my thigh, but luckily there was no blood.

It's too dangerous! Judging from the location of this wound, if I had just been a few centimeters short, my dignity as a man would have been damaged...... It's dangerous...... It's dangerous......

Don't be scared, I'm still a skinned popsicle, and if someone comes in, it's over. I struggled to my feet in pain and limped towards the closet. When I finally arrived, I pulled open the door...... Empty.

I'm angry! There were two torn newspapers in the whole cabinet, and not a single piece of clothing. White toss! I hurriedly walked back again, and when I got to the bed, I was about to climb up, when I suddenly saw a small cloth corner peeking out from the bottom of the bed, and I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

I grabbed the fabric and tugged at it. A shirt flew out. Shirt...... Shirt...... Plain white shirt ...... A shirt that can only be worn as a top......

Something is better than nothing. I quickly put my shirt on, it was a bit too big to care, and then I climbed straight into bed and covered the intimate area of my lower body with the quilt.

While rubbing my knees, I looked closely into the room, and I didn't find any clothes or clothes that could be worn as pants, which was too shy...... Wait, it seems that Sister Peng has been taking care of me before, so my virtue ...... I'm angry...... It's a shame.

I sighed viciously, then lay down with my head up, covering my head directly with the quilt. It's already like this, why do you think so much, I'll be able to sleep again, and this time it didn't take any 'effort', and soon I fell asleep-

- I was lying on the bed with my head covered by the quilt, and suddenly I heard a knock at the door, and I knew that someone had come in, who could it be?

I don't know why, I didn't pull down the quilt to look, but listened quietly. I heard the footsteps of a man slowly approaching me until the sound stopped at the side of the bed.

"Die!" A fierce voice suddenly came out.

I lifted the quilt and looked at it, it was a light rain! She was holding a dagger and stabbing me viciously!

……

I opened my eyes suddenly, and I realized that I was still covered with a covers. I quickly pulled open the quilt and saw that there was no one and I was the only one in the room. It must have been a dream again...... What kind of dreams is this...... I touched my head casually, okay, cold sweat came out. I shook my head and lay down again. Alas, maybe I'm really tired.

A ray of sunlight shone through the gap between the curtains, and I covered my head with the quilt again.

Phew! The sound of the door opening. This time I did hear it, and I pinched my face hard to make sure it wasn't a dream...... Hurt! Not a dream!

A man's footsteps walked from the doorway to the bed. At this moment, a calm voice rang out, but it reached my ears like a pinprick in the eye!

"Brother Xiaoshi?"
