Chapter 22: The Prison
With a washed scarf wrapped around his neck and a katana named Muramasa in his hand, Fan Li came to the entrance of the sixth floor.
Even if he knows that there are more than zombies outside, life still needs to be lived, and this building is Fan Li's only property in the last days.
Even if he still has tens of thousands of dollars left over from his card, which is the property left to him by his family, from childhood to adulthood, even if Fan Li saves again, he always has to eat, drink, wear and live, and in about 20 years, there is not much left of his family's "last" love for him.
If he knew that the end was coming, Fan Li would not have to save money and use the money to buy something he liked.
Watches, mobile phones, some game CDs, by the way, and then buy an electric motorcycle that is convenient for travel, no matter how bad it is, you can also take it out and travel outside to increase some knowledge.
But where in this world is there a if, no one knows the end of the world, and the coins that were cherished by countless people the day before will become a pile of waste paper the next day.
Even if the bank has power equipment, Fan Li takes out the money with the bank card, where should he go to spend?
You can't find a few zombie dealers and buy a batch of zombies so that you can cut them down and summon the next monster helper.
Fan Li's expression suddenly became a little playful, in this chaotic world, coins have lost their effect, but I don't know, what do the surviving people rely on to trade with each other, gold? Jewelry? Woman? Or is it just relying on snatching, like yourself?
With the experience of exploration, Fan Li is no longer as trembling as he was at the beginning, he is already familiar with the whole process of kicking the door and slashing and killing.
It's a pity that the two houses on the sixth floor are all iron security doors, and Fan Li can't open the door alone in the absence of lockpicking tools.
It's okay to summon Ellie, but there is no food around, and Ellie's behavior is a little weird, so Fan Li still decided to try it first.
【601】
"Knock Knock ......"
Fan Li used the easiest way, and that was to knock on the door!
"Knock Knock ......"
After knocking twice in a row, there was no sound in the house, Fan Li frowned slightly, and said to himself: "It won't be so unlucky, is it, there is no one in the house?" ”
There was no movement, Fan Li turned around and walked towards 602, but as soon as he took a step, he heard an anxious stampede in the room behind him, and then the door lock opened, Fan Li turned around, only to see an unkempt figure rushing towards him!
Fan Li's expression tightened, and he was ready to slash, but the katana was raised, but it did not fall, because he found that this was not a zombie, but a woman around thirty years old.
The other party was covered in filth, and his body exuded the fishy smell of urine, as well as some pungent stench.
The woman grabbed Fan Li's arm, then raised her head, her eyes were happy and forgetful, and she opened her mouth and said, "Husband, are you back?" You...... Why did you come back? Xin'er's school is just a few minutes away, why did you go there for so long......"
Fan Li tried to push the other party away, but the woman's words made him not make excessive movements, but his brows were a little tighter.
"I've cooked all the food, I've been waiting for you, and you haven't come back!"
"That's right!"
The woman's expression suddenly became nervous, her eyes were dodgy, her hands clasped on Fan Li's arms, poked her head out, as if she was afraid of something, looked back and forth, and then said: "It was said on TV that there were bad people outside, nothing happened to you and Xinxin, right?" I can't get through when I call you, people outside seem to be crazy, they bite when they see people, you let me cook at home and wait for you, I'll wait, wait, why...... Why are you back now? ”
"That's right...... You must be hungry, eat...... Eat first! ”
As she spoke, the woman pulled Fan Li into the room.
Fan Li's expression was a little complicated, and he let the woman drag him into the house, but the knife in his hand was not put down, but hung next to his trouser leg, doing some defensive movements.
Fan Li did not forget his situation and acted cautiously, which is the least respect for life!
Behind the sofa in the living room, there is a family photo, the woman has a sweet smile, the man is honest and honest, and in their arms, there is a little girl about five or six years old, combing a pair of ponytails, being held in the arms of her parents, showing a smart smile.
This family may not be rich, but it can be regarded as happy, Fan Li has seen a family of three downstairs a few times, but he just nodded and did not speak, vaguely remembering that the hostess at that time was not what she is now.
The woman pulled Fan Li to the dining table, where there was half a chicken, a few pieces of pig's trotters, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a plate of shredded potatoes, all of which were the most basic home-cooked dishes.
A mesh was placed on top of the dish, apparently to keep insects and dust from falling into it.
Everyone's home has their own family banquet, maybe the appearance is not good, the taste is not good, but it cannot be replaced, because this is the taste of home.
Fan Li had never been to the other party's house as a guest, so he didn't know the taste before, but now he could smell that these dishes had been stored for several days, and they had long been rotten and fermented, accompanied by the smell of the woman's body, even if Fan Li was wearing a scarf, he felt a little sick to his stomach, and he almost vomited.
The woman ignored this, and saw that she sat down on a chair, took chopsticks and put a piece of pig's trotter in a small bowl, and then put a chicken wing in the bowl next to it, and then picked up the rotten egg and put it in her mouth.
The spoiled eggs had already turned black, and the taste was even more sour, but the woman still ate them with relish as if she couldn't feel it at all.
While eating, she showed a slight smile on her face, and said to Fan Li: "Husband, why don't you eat?" You still have to go to work in the afternoon, eat more to have strength, are you angry with me? Angry that I didn't go out to find you? ”
"Let me tell you, the people outside are crazy, I'm so scared, I call you, you don't answer, I don't dare to go out...... I'll be waiting for you at home......"
"I keep calling, you just don't answer, woo...... I'm so worried about you, how are you ...... I'm only coming back now...... Whining...... What about Shin Shin? Is Xinxin angry with her mother, her mother is a coward, and her mother doesn't dare to go out to find you...... But I'm really worried about your ......."
The woman originally said calmly, but the more she spoke, the more hurried her tone became, and when she continued, she suddenly choked up and cried, her voice hoarse, obviously during this time, she cried alone.
Fan Li stood at the side of the dining table, just looking at the woman like this, there was no doubt that the other party had gone crazy.
This is the first person Fan Li has come into close contact with in the apocalypse, but she is a madman, she is driven crazy by the end times.
Do not suspect that psychosis is close to a normal person.
It is difficult for normal people to understand why a person would strip naked and wander the streets, why he would pick up garbage unkempt, and why he would suddenly go crazy and hurt others!
Normal people can't understand that it's because those mentally ill people have long imprisoned themselves in spiritual prisons.
And this house is a prison for women.
On the one hand, she worries about the safety of her husband and children, and on the other hand, she is afraid of the zombies wandering outside the street.
It is impossible for Fan Li to take her away, it is still difficult to be alone in the last days, let alone bring such a crazy woman by his side?
Looking around, Fan Li saw the open cabinet door in the kitchen, and there were a lot of scattered instant noodles and rice white noodles poured aside.
In the houses that Fan Li explored, the reserve grain in the woman's home can be called [Yinshi]!
However, Fan Li still turned around, he would not take the woman and the slightest item in the house.
He is not one of those bloodthirsty and brutal zombies outside, nor is he a redeemer who loves the world, Fan Li is just a survivor, a survivor in the apocalypse...... The humble survivor.
I can't take care of each other, and I can't deprive a woman of hope for her last life, it has nothing to do with pity and morality, but Fan Li has not forgotten the fact that she is a human being.
"Xinxin doesn't eat either, isn't it delicious, you can't be picky now."
"Husband, seeing that it's getting cold, let's go to the supermarket with me tomorrow to buy some quilts, and it can be cheaper in the changing seasons."
The woman was talking to herself, she kept sandwiching vegetables to the empty bowl beside her, and in her mouth were some family trivialities.
There doesn't seem to be an outsider like Fan Li in her eyes, and she is still immersed in the stable and happy life of the past.
"Smack!"
Fan Li couldn't give the woman any help, the only thing he could do was to bring the door and bring this door to separate all the fearful spiritual prisons on the side.
