Chapter 3: The City Changes
"You can't be a sandman, right?" I asked warily.
"You're a sand man!" My cousin gave me a blank look, and said with palpitations, "Just now, a stray dog broke into the hotel lobby and went straight to the feng shui fish tank, probably wanting to eat fish, it hit the fish tank headlong, the fish didn't eat, the dog hit and died, the fish tank broke, and the lobby was full of water." There are a lot of guests in the lobby, and it is strange to say that there are a few guests who have come into contact with the water, as if they have fallen into the evil spirit, suddenly convulsions, stiff hands and feet, and grinning and screaming! ā
"Rabies!" I shouted, I know, people infected with rabies virus have attacks when they encounter water, so rabies is also called "hydrophobia".
In the past two days, there are a lot of people who have been attacked by stray dogs, and the injured will be hospitalized in serious cases, most of them have been scratched by dogs, or bitten by their clothes to minor injuries, and they will be discharged from the hospital after bandaging (so they will also be infected), and it is not excluded that there are guests infected with rabies virus in the hotel lobby.
"It's just aquaphobia, and those guys are still biting! What's even more terrifying is that the person who was bitten also started biting others again as if he was crazy! I was so scared that I hurriedly took the elevator and ran here. The cousin exhaled.
"Serial biting incidents?" I was surprised, why is this scene so familiar!
"Could it be ......" Chen Mo seemed to think of going with me, crooked his neck, "clicked" his teeth, and made a terrifying movement, my cousin saw Chen Mo like this, like a frightened bird, Mom, subconsciously raised her foot and kicked Chen Mo.
I quickly hugged her leg and explained that Chen Mo was not infected because she did not have any dog bite or scratch wounds on her body - I had just "checked" Chen Mo from head to toe before my cousin came in.
"Sister, did you call the police?" I asked, forgetting my identity in front of Chen Mo for a while.
"You...... She's your sister? Chen Mo asked suspiciously.
"You don't care who I am," my cousin laughed, "why don't you two put on your clothes first?" ā
The women and daughters reprimanded each other, and the room was a little hot, Chen Mo didn't care about being looked at by his cousin, so he was too lazy to wear it.
But I have to put it on.
There was such a big thing, it seems that there is no play with Chen Mo tonight, so I have to change the day, I came to the window, lifted the curtains and looked down, it was so lively, patrol cars and ambulances had surrounded the hotel gate.
At this moment, the sound of a radio was heard in the corridor outside.
"Dear guests, hello, this is the hotel reception, in order to ensure your safety, according to the instructions of the relevant departments, please stay in the room, lock the door, do not go out without permission. Again, for your safety, don't go out without permission! ā
At the same time, I heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the corridor, Chinese people are like this, when they are fine, they like to make fun of themselves, and when they really have something, they should be disobedient!
The radio looped, but on the third broadcast, the sound suddenly stopped.
"What's going on?" I looked at my cousin.
"As far as I can guess......" my cousin's expression turned Conanic, pinching her pointed chin and thinking, "There should be more than one bite on the first floor, and when I was upstairs just now, many other floors were also-"
Before my cousin could finish speaking, suddenly, the door of our room was slammed from the outside!
Did other hotel staff come to evacuate? I hurriedly ran over and was about to open the door, but my cousin grabbed me: "Don't! It's best to take a look first! ā
It makes sense, I opened the safety window and looked through the cat's eye, but if I didn't look at it, I was so scared that I almost sat on the ground!
Standing outside was a middle-aged man in pajamas, fat, bald, with empty eyes and gray pupils! This is not scary, what is scary is that half of his face is intact, but the other half of his face is blurred and mutilated, as if he has been lying in the wilderness for many days and has been eaten by maggots, and the roots of his teeth are exposed!
"What do you see?" Chen Mo asked.
Didn't wait for me to make a "shhhh The bald head banged on the door again outside, and the whole door panel flickered and was almost knocked open by it!
"Don't make a sound!" I whispered, looked around, and found that the foot of the bed was moving, I closed the safety window, and came to the bed lightly, beckoning them to come and help.
Boom! The bald head hit again, and I could clearly see that there was a crack in the door panel!
"Hurry up!" I shouted, and the three of them worked together to lift the bed to the door, standing up and blocking it.
The floor of the room is carpeted, and the friction between the room and the bed is very strong, so even if the door panel is broken, it is difficult to push the door open from the outside.
"What the hell do you see?" Chen Mo asked in a panic.
I swallowed the word "zombie" that poured into my mouth, and now I can't be sure, I ran to the window to look down, as expected, the uniform team below has become a pot of porridge, and the uniform team with flashing red and blue lights has been attacked by the crazy "humans" who rushed out of the hotel, and the uniform team should not have received permission from their superiors to fire, so they can only defend passively.
"Heh, it's hilarious now." My cousin was laughing miserably beside me.
"Mr. Xia, what should I do now?" Chen Mo shook my arm and asked coquettishly.
"What else can I do? Hold on and wait for help. "I said, when I looked into the corridor just now, because I was looking through fishglasses, the angle of view was large, in addition to the bald man standing at the door of room 1306, I also saw other "guests" in the corridor, they did not bite each other, indicating that those "guests" have also been infected, so don't think about rushing out, it's unlikely.
My cousin was on the phone, but no one answered.
"To whom?" I asked.
"At home." My cousin's face turned a little pale.
"Your husband?"
The cousin shook her head and bit her lip: "Your uncle ......"
No way? Uncle is a staff member of the main government, and his mobile phone does not leave him day and night, is it possible that the flashpoint is not only one Langtaosa Hotel?
I lifted the curtains and looked into the distance, there were buildings blocking it, I couldn't see how far, I could only see a small square across the road, it stands to reason that at this time period, there should be a lot of aunts dancing in the square, but now, there are only a few shadowy things in the square "walking", the movement speed is very slow, the movement is stiff, it should be zombies.
Crackling, the vision became blurred, a few drops of rain smashed on the window, the rain came very hard, and soon the glass blurred into a piece, and it was impossible to see outside.
"Understood." I nodded, this is not the first rain tonight, I have read the weather forecast during the day, saying that there will be showers tonight, when I came back from outside just now, the sky was already very cloudy, and the rabies patient had a seizure as soon as he came into contact with the water, and it was this rain that fell from the sky that led to the collective outbreak of the rabies virus lurking in the human body.
This virus is very powerful, human-to-human, because there are too many people infected with rabies in the past few days, many people have not had time to get vaccinated (I even suspect that the vaccine has not worked), and the number of infected people is too large, so it spreads, and it is difficult to control it for a while.
"Call your family, stay home, don't go out." I told them that my cousin continued to call my cousin-in-law, and Chen Mo also called home, but they didn't get through.
Judging from the situation of the bald man just now, the zombie's strength seems to be very strong, and it will break the door, could it be that other places have already fallen?
My parents have passed away a long time ago, and I have no family except my cousin, but I still have an important person!
"Hello? Dongdong? Thank goodness you're still alive! I was pleasantly surprised.
"What's wrong? I'm taking a shower at home. "Dong Dong Dao, she rents a bachelor apartment with a steel security door, which should be very safe.
"Look downstairs at your house......" I said.
There was the sound of slippers on the other end of the phone, and not long after, Dongdong's screams were heard again.
"What the hell is that!"
"Don't panic, you just think you're watching a Hollywood movie, hide at home, lock the door, and wait for my call."
"Where are you?" Dongdong asked in a trembling voice.
"Hotel, safe for now."
"IāI'm scared, I want to go to you!"
"Pull you down! Honestly stay at home! After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone, although Dongdong is weak, but one thing is very good, that is, listen to me, for four years in college, she has been my little follower, with my instructions, you don't have to worry about her panicking, opening the door and crashing into the zombie pile.
Hanging up the phone, I swiped my phone to watch the news.
Hey? Why is it all news before 8 p.m.? All the pages seem to be locked.
I look at the WeChat group again, and the same is true, all the WeChat group records are cleared by the system, and I look at the circle of friends, and the same deadline is eight o'clock, I try to send a message to other people - I can't send it!
I guess it's to prevent rumors from spreading and causing social panic, in terms of public opinion control, the flower growers have been doing a good job, although this is not a rumor, the rabies virus has broken out in the whole city......
