With heavy steps, I came to the fifth floor, and at a glance I saw blood stains on the knob of one of the wooden doors. The wooden door opened as soon as it was pushed, but it was held in a chain, which my previous doors had used to have. I reached in and removed the chain from the doorknob inside, and then stepped into the room.

Gently closing the door, as soon as I turned my head, I saw drops of blood on the floor, connected in a string that spread all the way to the room inside. I didn't hear anything when I got to the door, and I reached out and slowly pushed the door open.

It was a bedroom with an old double bed, and beside that bed there was a man sitting motionless with his head down, his eyes closed, his body tied tightly to the iron rod at the foot of the bed, and his right arm was raised and tied horizontally, and in that hand he was holding a knife, which was my ring knife.

When I was downstairs, I seemed to have been busy, but in fact, I had been hesitating to come up, so much time has passed since death, if he mutates and becomes a zombie, how should I face it...... But now, I'm here after all, even if I'm not willing to do it.

I stood in the doorway for a long time without moving, silently staring at the man in front of the bed. I know him, he's my brother.

I shuffled over with heavy steps, not knowing what I was thinking, and sat cross-legged on the floor in front of him.

His body had no temperature, his nose had no breath, and the corners of his mouth had no smile.

My presence did not affect him in any way, and he was still sitting like that, still motionless.

Instead of looking at his wounds, I looked at the knife in his hand.

Why don't you let go?

I tried to get the ringhead, but no matter how hard I tried, his fingers didn't move.

Is this a zombie...... No, I'd rather believe it......

"Lin Yang, I'm Shi Lei, I'm back."

Bang Dang!

The ringhead knife fell to the ground in an instant—

Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Yang, and I am 23 years old this year!

She's my sister, and I'm going to take all the blame for her! So, if someone makes her cry in the future, whoever he is! Whatever the reason! I, Lin Yang, will never let that person go!

From today onwards, I recognize you as my brother who lives and dies together, and protects this team together!

Hey, hey...... I'm counting on you to be my brother-in-law!

If Satsuki is safe and sound, I won't smoke it in the future. If something happens to her, then I won't be able to smoke it in the future.

If you dare to make my sister widowed, I will never let you go!

If one day, I die, I hope you can continue to take care of Lin Yue.

……

I sat in front of Lin Yang with my head bowed, and the words of the past came to my mind, drawing up a few past events, which were the days when we knew each other, met each other, and lived and died together.

"You know, sometimes I feel like I can only say and I can't do anything. Xiao Fan is gone, and now it's you again. Sister Peng, they are also missing...... I opened and closed my mouth for this team, but looking at the current results, maybe Di Yan and their departure is a good thing for each other. ”

- Where is Satsuki?

"She's downstairs, it's okay, don't worry."

- Oh that! You're back alive, yes! Good brother-in-law!

"Heh, my eldest brother, it was you who told me that I couldn't let Lin Yue be widowed, I didn't dare to die...... I have to live... I'm alive... Yes, I'm alive, I'm alive and well, but I've watched the people around me leave again and again, I can't do anything, I'm really a fucking waste, hehe. ”

- Don't say it's useless, just remember to help me take care of my sister!

"Got it. You... Do you want to see her again? ”

- You're so good-minded, aren't you!? Missing! You get down to business for me! Hurry up and deal with it, I still have to go to Xiaofan to play!

"Aang, what should I do with you?"

……

"What about people."

……

"I'll ask you."

I asked several times, but I didn't get a response in my head. I slowly looked up, and saw the blood-red eyes in his sockets, staring at me from the closest distance.

"Xiao Qi, they didn't help you deal with it, they should want to wait for me to come back and then decide, it's a shame that you can hold on until now."

I picked up the ring knife and slowly stood up. The right hand pulled the gun from his waist and pressed it against the head that was about to move—

"Everyone is hurt, I'll take them to stay on the fourth floor for one night and change places tomorrow. But this night, if Lin Yue heard the footsteps overhead, she would go crazy. ”

"Uh............"

"I recommend someone to you, his name is Chen Xiao, and he is a fat man. After you find Xiaofan, you can go to him together, and you should get along well. ”

"Uh...... Belch...... Uhh ”

"The road is on the west side, go all the way."

I don't know what to call this life-and-death relationship between us, in this last moment.

I don't know, wrench. The machine can also get so heavy.

"To forget what is wrong and right, to remember the past, and to have fun in the days of tribulation together...... All the stories seem to have happened in the wandering years...... Let the tears have taken away the haggard night. ”

The thin quilt covered the corpse on the bed, and also covered the years of our friendship.

I don't know how long it took, but when I closed the door and came out, my eyes were clear, and my ears and other parts of the body had regained sensation. But suddenly I heard a movement downstairs, so I quietly walked down.

Suddenly, I saw that there were two people standing at the door of the room where they were on the fourth floor, and the one facing me was Di Yan, who had already left, and there was another one in his arms, it should be Ziqing. The two went out for a spin and came back and hugged each other......

When Di Yan saw me, his body didn't dare to move, but he hurriedly made a "shhhhh

I ignored him and said, "Why are you back?" ”

As soon as the voice came out, Ziqing immediately pushed Di Yan away, took two steps back, wiped his face with his hand, and then turned his head and said to me with some embarrassment and shame: "You... You're here......"

Di Yan's face was full of resentment, and he said to me: "Ang, my brother Da Lei, you are here!" ”

"Is there something wrong?" I walked down and stopped the door.

"!" Di Yan said: "If we don't come back, where will we go." ”

I looked at him with a frown, "You didn't decide to leave. ”

Di Yan said again: "Did I say I want to leave?" Didn't I just say goodbye to you, wouldn't I see you! I'll tell you, I just went out to do something, and when I came back, I saw that there was no one, I estimated that your kid had moved upstairs, and it couldn't be the fifth floor, so look for it on this floor, but there was no movement in these two houses, and no one answered when I knocked on the door, so I'll wait here! Saying that, he picked up two plastic bags, "There is water in here, let's quickly help our teammates wipe their faces and bodies or something, how can we stay covered in blood!" And the clothes, oh, they all have to be changed! ”

Only then did I notice that Di Yan's work clothes were gone, and they had been replaced with a set of casual clothes, and Ziqing's clothes were not the same as before.

"Shi Lei," Ziqing said: "Just outside the place, Di Yan chatted with me for a while before I could figure it out, I said that your words were heavy before, I ......"

"We've decided to go with you." Di Yan answered.

I didn't rush to talk about it, I took the bag and looked at it, it contained several bottles of mineral water. Then he glanced at Di Yan silently, and then turned around and knocked on the door.

"Xiaoyu, it's me."

Soon the door opened, Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment when she saw Di Yan and Ziqing, I waved my hand to signal that it was okay, and she let the door open.

After that, Di Yan stayed in the living room, Ziqing went to help Xiaoyu and Lin Yue wipe the blood stains on their bodies, and I was in charge of Xiao Qi.

Just to wipe Xiao Qi's face and hands and other small parts, he used up two bottles of water, and his eyes never opened during this period. I didn't dare to touch the wound on his shoulder, and I didn't change his clothes, so I waited until he woke up.

When I returned to the living room, Ziqing and Xiaoyu were still in Lin Yue's bedroom, so I walked over and sat on the sofa and asked Di Yan beside me, "Why are you back again?" ”

"I didn't want to leave! Although you kid is a little cold-blooded, but I think it's still understandable after thinking about it, go with you, at least I don't have to worry about my back. Di Yan said and took out his gun and threw it to me, and then said, "I just went out to do something!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'll count them for you... 1、2… Oh, five things. The first one, is to see where the little girl who played with the bow has gone, let me tell you, they have now run to the next building, it should not pose a threat, because I also talked to them a few words, I told them that I don't like you either, it depends on their attitude, although they are a little dissatisfied with your approach, but they will not fight with us. The second one is to look for water and clothes, and I tried to learn how you steal a car by the way, and the results are not bad! Ha...... Ahem... That one, I was looking for something to eat, but it was empty, and I didn't dare to go too far. The third one is to enlighten Ziqing's sister, after all, if we want to join you, she always has a pimple in her heart, right!? The fourth one is that I added another stroke to the sign at the door, and I wanted to erase it, but I didn't have anything at hand, so I couldn't get it, so I just drew another one, pointed to the west, and then threw away the paint bucket, and someone else in the province found it. The last one, is to see if there are any zombies around, you will kill this pile of people with a bang, what if the gunfire attracts zombies, but in view of your mood, this is also excusable, then I'll go and see, I'm really lucky, no zombies have been recruited, let's stay steadfast, but you have to be calm, next time you shoot leisurely! ”

"By the way, besides, let me tell you," Di Yan continued: "Actually, at first, I thought you were going to move out all the corpses on the third floor, and I couldn't do it with my thin arms and legs, so I wanted to just let you clean it up by yourself!" I'm going out and helping you with some trivial things! You see how authentic I am to you, but you are really rough enough, just now I finally coaxed Ziqing girl well, can't you wait for a while, is it easy for me to hug a girl! ”

This kid...... I really don't know what to say about him.

After being silent for a while, Di Yan restrained his cynical smile and said calmly, "I came up just now and heard the gunshots upstairs." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and turned my head to see what he was going to say.

"Don't look at me like that! Yours eyes are terrifying! Di Yan said: "Let me tell you, I know it must be the one upstairs who has mutated, I have seen people who have not been bitten die and become zombies." There are so many injuries in the team, I definitely can't leave tonight, and I can't bury or cremate in this situation now, if you don't give the one upstairs to ...... Ahem...... What I mean by this is that you don't have to worry about what I'm going to think about, and if it were me, I'd do the same. ”

I didn't want to talk to him about it anymore, so I closed my eyes and leaned back on the couch without saying a word.

Night.

Xiaoyu, Xiaoqi, and Lin Yue, each of them slept in a bedroom, and Di Yan and Ziqing stayed in the living room.

There were still a few candles in the things Di Yan brought back, I lit one in the living room, and then went to Xiaoyu and Xiaoqi's room to look at it.

Xiao Qi slept soundly, but Xiao Yu couldn't sleep at all.

"Brother Shi......"

"Hmm"

Xiaoyu bit her lip and looked at me silently for a long time. I guess she wanted me to stay, so I said, "Xiaoyu, don't think about anything, sleep well, don't be afraid." I have to go see your sister Yue. ”

When Xiaoyu heard Lin Yue, her face became sad again, and then she said to me: "Brother Shi, don't let Sister Lin Yue have an accident......"

"Well, don't keep your face down when you sleep."

Xiao Yu sighed, and then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

I walked out and took another candle, and after saying hello to Di Yan, I walked into Lin Yue's room.

Lin Yue lay motionless on the bed, I lit a candle and looked at her carefully, she should be asleep. helped her untie the sheets on her body, and gently rubbed her arms and legs, it would hurt if she tied it for so long. Lin Yue slept very deeply, and occasionally said two words in her dreams, but she never woke up. I looked at the wound on her arm and it hurt in my heart.

I don't know how long it took, but I sat down on the floor next to my bed and pulled out my notebook by candlelight.

On the evening of February 4, 2013, Lin Yang died at the age of 23.

In 2013, on the evening of February 5, he personally gave Lin Yang a funeral.

Shiller

……………………

On the Spring Festival of that year, I was 16 years old. I said I was small—

"Fatty, your parents won't be coming back this year, are they? When I came up on Chinese New Year's Eve, my dad said that our grandfather and son should drink well! ………… Ang yes, the wine pipe is enough, drink as you like, bring your own cigarettes, and smoke secretly! ”

"Fatty, come over and make dumplings first! Hurry up, we'll have to wrap this up before my mother comes back............ Your uncle's drinking, you are willing to work, you are soft! ”

"Hey, I said fatty, what are you talking about with the guy in the next class............ Nonsense, you drill a hole in the rubber as a ring for others, it's strange that she can be nice to you! ”

"Your uncle! Don't be content with the fat man! This is the best dumpling filling I've made in all these years! I can tell you, if you go crazy with dumplings with me again, I'll ............ Yes, mom I was wrong, I don't swear anymore. ”

"Fatty, sleep with me tonight. Then my stereo is broken, now you play "Friendship Years", I remember that it is Brother Xiaochun. Let's go live first, and then CS............ Watch him what a film, look, hurry up! ”

"Fat brother, watch less, beware of kidney deficiency! In the future, if zombies or something break out, you won't be able to run............ That's right, I'm just tired of living in peace, and life is still a little more exciting! ”

During the Spring Festival this year, I was 21 years old. I heard Lin Yue say-

"I remember... I used to love lollipops, but my brother never let me eat more. He said that if he eats too much sugar, he will have a toothache, and his sister will have a toothache. But I always quarrel with him because I don't have candy, and every time he can't argue with me, but he still won't let me eat......"

"I remember... At that time, my brother knew that I was going to study abroad, and he was so happy that he bought me a lot of candy. Actually, I didn't like it anymore, but I always felt happy when my brother bought candy......

"I remember... The night before I left the country, my brother kept watch by my bedside all night and told me a lot about my childhood......"

"I remember... It was my brother who took me to the airport, and I was crying, and my brother was still laughing at me...... But then a neighbor's friend told me that my brother had drunk a lot of wine that night, and then he sat in front of his house and wept......"

……………………

I am Shi Lei, a boy who is often bored with ordinary life, a boy who often talks back to his parents for various reasons; A boy who has fantasized about zombie outbreaks countless times, a boy who has wanted to break out of the cage of bondage countless times.

Now, I'm grown up, and I'm getting my wish.

"Leizi, I'll tell you......"

"Shut up."

……………………

There are joys and sorrows in this notebook, in fact, many people don't like to be too sad, and I also understand that there are already a lot of troubles around me, so why bother with more sorrow.

But these pathos are not to earn tears, but to remind everyone, including myself, of something that everyone knows but gradually forgets - peaceful life is precious, and troubled times are not fun.

No matter how old you are now, you should take more care of your lover and friends, take more care of your family, and see if he is your real enemy.

Don't wait until you miss it to regret it, and don't wait until you lose it to cherish it.

Doomsday theory exists in all corners of the world, and none of us know what will happen that day. In my mind, the so-called prophecies may just be another scepter of interest.

But no matter what happens, no matter when it's the end, I think we all have to try to live each day bravely.

Love Ta, go confess now! What are you waiting for! If that day is really all over, at least you still have a period of time to fall in love with each other before!

……………………

- Xiao Lei, take care of yourself.

"Sister Peng......"

Sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, lazily spilling onto the floor. I opened my eyes and looked at the somewhat yellowed ceiling, and I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.

I am glad to be able to see the morning sun again, even though there are people around me, but the world is still like this.
