"I have long advised you not to waste your efforts, save some physical strength and wait for the rescue notice." In a narrow room with a shimmering black and white light, two men sat opposite each other.

The man standing by the window withdrew the conspicuous strip of cloth that was shaking in his hand, slightly dejected.

"Kane, when did you say that the rescue will arrive, we have been here for almost half a month, and we dare not speak loudly." The man lowered his voice.

In a room not far from here, a man with a bandage on his head was tending to his luggage.

The light shone in through the side window, hit his upper body, and fell to the ground, a wildly distorted shadow struggling in the narrow light.

……

"Anyone?" Standing in front of a four-story dwelling, Zhou Duan knocked on the door.

In a place like a shelter, where every inch of land is at a premium, this height is obviously a waste of space, except for some special buildings, the others are based on the first criterion of accommodating people.

"It's been a long time, and there's definitely no one in there." Robin looked at Zhou Duan as if he was waiting for someone to open the door, and was a little puzzled.

Elena controlled the fire and burned a rare zombie that remained around to ashes.

However, there is no need to waste time on this crystal, which is obviously only produced by zombies of one level.

"Squeak." The protective door, which had fallen into disrepair but was quite sturdy, was pulled open by a pair of folded and wrinkled hands.

An old man with gray hair and drooping skin on his face and hands appeared in front of Zhou Duan and Robin.

Robin covered his face with the small mirror in his hand.

"Hello." Zhou Duan greeted the old man who was almost immobile.

"Yes...... What the...... Things? The old man spoke with almost no tone, and the pauses between the words were a little difficult, and his eyes were full of sluggishness and cloudiness.

"We're going to requisition your house temporarily." Robin was also a little overwhelmed by the fact that he didn't know that there was someone here.

"Come in......" The old man let go of his body, and the smell of the tide that has not seen the sun all year round made the noses of the three of them a little uncomfortable.

In particular, there is an unknown smell inside.

The light followed the three of them into the house.

"Don't you open the windows and draw the curtains?" Elena looked at the dimly lit room, barely able to see the outline of the room by the light of the day outside.

The old man seemed to be eating just now, and there was still some food on the table in the hall.

"Guests?" Suddenly, a voice rang out against the doorway of Elena's room, just a few paces away.

Elena subconsciously burst into flames from her body, but when she saw the flabby face mixed with black spots, she forcibly held back the nausea in her heart, restrained her strength and walked to Zhou Duan's side.

"yes...... Geezer...... Sub goes to ...... Eat ......" The old man who opened the door bited an indistinct spit.

The "gentleman" who leaned against the door as if he could only walk by relying on the door seemed to be a little angry when he heard this.

"No, I'm done."

He had more expressions and tones than the old woman.

"Can I open the curtains?" Robin spoke suddenly, and she always felt a little uncomfortable in this darkness.

"No......," the old woman suddenly trembled with some excitement.

The old man who was holding on to the wall hurriedly stretched out a hand.

The old woman grabbed and buried her face in it, and the skeleton revealed through her clothes seemed to fall apart at any moment.

"Will die...... Opened...... Monster. The old woman muttered.

Zhou Duan can only listen to a rough idea, it should be said that if you open the curtains, you will be seen by the monsters outside.

However, this is a bit detrimental to my next cleaning work.

The driver is still in the armed SUV waiting for news from him.

"Don't worry, we'll protect you." Elena saw the movements of the two old men, and the discomfort that had just sprung up in her heart was gone.

"Don't ...... ......" the old woman's head rubbed against her husband's hand, and her voice grew more and more frightened, as if she had seen Robin walking towards the curtain.

The woman's husband also pleaded, "I beg you, Clindo...... Don't open the curtains, please. ”

"But this is the rescue site, and it's a place we need to clean up." Robin was a little unmoved.

The catastrophe has been going on for two years, during which she has seen too much so-called love and betrayal, and no matter how poor people are, they are all equal members of the times.

Elena was a little unbearable: "Can't you change places?" ”

Her words calmed the old woman's trembling madness a little.

"I can't." Zhou Duan said it categorically.

At the same time, Robin also intends to let the smelly room shine.

"Wait!" The woman's old gentleman's voice was unusually tired at this time, and seemed to have some sense of relief.

Zhou Duan vaguely saw the woman's face rise again.

Thankfully, the friction didn't break the folds off the woman's face.

"Wait, this is our home!"

"Not now, not before." Zhou Duan looked at the spacious hall inside.

This type of apartment-style home will not be occupied by only two people.

"No, it is!" The old man said stubbornly, "It's okay for you to open the curtains, but you have to get Klint used to it." ”

"I think it's a virtue to respect the old and love the young." Robin walked over, "How do you guys want to fit in?" ”

"......" The old man paused, and it seemed that he had no idea.

At this time, the woman's strange tone sounded again: "Eat ......"

"Yes, let's eat first, and we'll go to the basement after eating."

Hearing this, Zhou Duan glanced at the room where the old man came out and didn't say anything.

The power supply to the vault had long been cut off, and it just so happened that Elena found a white candle on the side.

"It's okay to light a candle, right?" Elena said to the old man.

Because the old woman's verbal communication seemed to be very difficult, Elena chose a relatively normal old man.

"Huh? This...... It's okay, this should be the last candle. ”

A faint flame lit up with a dim light.

The old woman's body trembled suddenly.

The old man stepped forward and hugged the old woman's body with difficulty, and smiled apologetically at the faces of several people.

"Let's go prepare lunch for you."

"No need, we're ......" Robin was interrupted by Zhou Duan as soon as he spoke.

"Then it's troublesome."

The two old men supported each other and walked into the darkness.

Zhou Duan and the three of them walked to the hall and sat at the dining table.

There was still uneaten food on the table.

"What is this?" Elena placed the candle in the middle, pointed to a pie-like food, and asked the two.

"Meatloaf?" Robin looked closer, and then the candlelight could see what was inside.

"What meat? I smell a little ......"

"It's not human flesh." Zhou Duan looked at Elena obliquely.

Elena smiled, the atmosphere was indeed easy to think of horror scenarios.

"There is something wrong with these two old men." Robin looked at the end of the aisle.

"Of course, no one here is blind."

"And you promised to eat their stuff?" Robin put the small mirror in his hand on the candle flame and looked at Zhou Duan angrily, "Are you thinking about it again?" ”

"We've come all the way, where is not a three-step, five-step, a group of zombies and mutant beasts, but here's ......"

"Either there's something around here, or there's something wrong with the couple."

"And the taste of this place is really ......," Robin gestured with no love.

The candle flame burned silently, and it was only when it was a third of the way that the two old men came over with a large plate and heavy footsteps.

Zhou Duan saw that the two old men were wearing a pair of large shoes that did not match their body shape.

"Guests, please." The old man, like a servant, had invited the trembling woman to the seat where the food had been kept, and then placed the plate with the metal lid between the three of them.

Then he stood behind the woman, leaning in her chair.

Zhou Duan picked up the metal lid that covered the food.

Several roughly skinned mice, apparently more than twice as large as normal, were cut in half.

This kind of food, which is not even cleaned from the internal organs, not to mention its own hidden dangers, is that no one will eat it except for those who are going to starve to death.

"Is this the rat you caught yourself?" Zhou Duan saw that the woman had already grabbed the meat pie with her hand and sent it to her own mouth.

"Yes." The old man's voice rang out, "As long as it's a simple prop, it's the only thing I can eat." ”

"Then this ......," Zhou Duan pointed to the contents of the woman's plate.

The old man paused for a moment: "So...... I'm talking about it! ”
