Huanhuan ran out nervously and looked at the corpses behind the three of us. Like a curious baby, he asked, "Two?" ”

"It's not! It's three. All of you can go and see, one less I'll chop a finger. ”

I looked at the crowd behind her and asked, "How much else is there to eat in the tearoom?" ”

"Brother Yaoyang, there are still some Pu'er tea leaves left."

Jiang Hongmei held two tea cans in the crowd and waved at me, as if she was afraid that I would not be able to see them.

"Yaoyang, come on." Brother Zhang motioned for me to borrow a step to talk to him, and I was curious to see what this taciturn man would say to me. I followed him to the back of the tea room. He kept his back to me, as if he was brewing something. I felt a little embarrassed, like I was going to confess to me.

"Yaoyang! What exactly do you want to do? ”

I felt very confused, what exactly did I want to do? What did I do? How did I not know it myself? I asked him what I thought. He looked back at me and said, "What do you tell them to do?" Don't you think they're desperate enough? ”

It turned out that Zhang Yihui was dissatisfied with what I had just said to everyone when I was training, "People die in comfort". He thinks that everyone is dead now, and we should give them more encouragement, let them know that there is hope, so that they can have the motivation to live. Instead of throwing cold water on them over and over again, as I did, always reminding them that we might die tomorrow.

I looked at him puzzled and asked, "Do you want me to lie to them and lie to myself, saying that someone will come to us tomorrow?" Lao Zhang, you were a soldier, and the things you were exposed to were different from mine. The big guys always promote the best and hide the bad. So at this point, everyone would rather sit and wait for the world to be peaceful than believe the facts in front of them. ”

I saw that he didn't speak, and I didn't know if he understood the meaning of my words, so I planned to make an analogy to the current facts: "When a child cries from a young age, his parents will comfort him, so when he grows up, he still thinks that as long as he cries, someone will comfort him, but the person who comforted him is no longer there." ”

He looked at me thoughtfully, and I tapped him on the shoulder and continued: "The world has changed, and we are like the child who has not learned to dry his tears and face it, and is still used to waiting for someone to wipe his tears for us......... Hey........."

He sighed and said, "Yaoyang, but people have to have hope, right?" They all see you as a leader now, and you can't...... Even if they make it up, even if they deceive themselves, they need hope. ”

I replied earnestly: "If I really lie to them and wait for the world to be peaceful, then my conscience will really be eaten by dogs." Hope is for us to find it ourselves, to face the reality, to get used to it. The hope you get in today's reality is the real hope. ”

……

When night fell, a bright moon appeared in the dark blue night sky, white and pure, round and bright, like a large disk. Tianfu City, which has long been cut off from water and electricity, has been shrouded in boundless darkness at this time. The women had lit all the candles in the hall last night, and had just burned all the things they could use for lighting, and had chewed the last two boxes of tea. Today, they can only go hungry and survive the night in the teahouse where they can't see their fingers.

I didn't want to join them in their sighs, so I stood alone at the back of the tearoom, leaning over the fence, looking at the silhouettes of the buildings in the darkness, where they stood like giant monsters.

"Yaoyang, it's time!"

I glanced at my watch and said to the seven men, "It's too late to regret it, who doesn't want to raise their hands!" ”

They look at me, I look at you, Ma Tengfei and Tang Zhong slowly raised their hands. It was entirely expected that the two of them would raise their hands, for I had a little meeting with the only few men we had here in the afternoon. The things that can be eaten in the tea hall have been eaten up by us today, and even the candles that are lit are gone. So we men had to go downstairs and search for supplies.

"Wang Lei, you can stay too."

"I ......"

"You're in charge of the tin door up there, and when we return victorious, I need someone I trust to open the door for us."

Wang Lei nodded to me with a heavy expression. I glanced at Ma Tengfei and Tang Zhong, and walked up to the two men I didn't know: "I don't know yet, what are your names?" Ready to be a nameless? ”

A man said, "My name is Li Chao." ”

Another man said, "My name is Zhou Yongming." ”

I looked at them and said, "Good! Li Chao, Zhou Yongming, since you two didn't raise your hand and didn't say no, then I also hope that you won't run away this time. ”

"We promise that we will never be cowardly!"

……

Click!

The iron door was gently opened by Wang Lei, and Wu Meng, Zhang Yihui, Li Chao, and Zhou Yongming and I each had a steel pipe. We stepped over the zombies killed by me and Lao Zhang during the day, and walked into the staircase where we couldn't see our fingers. It's just that we can only go downstairs lightly with a little faint moonlight. In order to prevent the steel pipe from hitting something and making a sound, we wrapped it in clothing rags in advance, revealing only the part in front of 20 centimeters that was used to assassinate zombies.

Step by step, we didn't dare to make a sound, except for the breathing of a few of us, from time to time there was the movement of zombies walking in the roof hall and the zombies on the lower floors of the stairs.

It was false to say that I was not afraid at this time, I forced the fear in my heart, and thought about it carefully, I remember that the day before yesterday, there were five or six zombies who chased us to the corridor, and then they divided into two groups, one group of two chased us to the rooftop, and one group went to chase the crowd running downstairs. If I'm not mistaken, there are no zombies in the corridors and halls now. But it's hard to say, who knows if a zombie with a big mouth will suddenly appear in a dark corner and give us a bite.

I stuck out half of my head like a thief and glanced at the stairs on the fourteenth floor, and sure enough, there were zombies below. We are now on the fifteenth floor, which means that the stairwell below us is already filled with zombies, and it seems that it is impossible to go downstairs.

Lao Zhang patted me in the back and motioned for me to continue walking. On the left is the staircase down to the fourteenth floor, and I don't have the courage to go down. So we walked to the dark hallway on the right. We slowly walked through the closed wooden doors of the guest rooms on the left and right, and we planned to go to the hall first to get some leftover food from the table the day before, and then open the rooms when we came back. Suddenly I found a zombie kneeling on the ground in the middle of the corridor eating a corpse, hesitating because it was dark and we were behind it, so we couldn't witness the disgusting picture, only smelling the stench of the corpse decomposing.

"Ahead, what's the situation?"

I kept my voice to a minimum and told the people in the back: "Hallway, zombies, one, turn your back on us, eat people, I'll go." ”

I bent over and cautiously approached its back, my heart beating faster with each step. I had to make sure I would stab it in the back of the head, and if it didn't succeed, it would roar and the consequences would be predictable.

Click!

The other end of the steel pipe came out of its mouth, and I thought to myself, "It's good to die." I pulled out the steel pipe and wiped the sweat from my forehead. One glance at the corpse it used as dinner, only a glance at the sound of "wow", I immediately leaned against the wall and vomited, I felt in tears that my stomach was tumbling at this time, and stomach acid was about to vomit. "Wow! Wow! The four in the back also held on to the wall, vomiting to death. The person on the ground was eaten only the internal organs and skeleton, the skeleton crawling with cockroaches still had some shredded meat sticking to it, the inner bones of the chest were broken open to reveal the blackened large intestine and other internal organs inside, countless flies nested in it, especially the limbs were eaten into bare white bones, and it was also stained with some viscous tissue fluid, and a large area of blood on the ground had been dried by the wind, crawling with cockroaches and ants.

The five of us tried not to look at the corpses on the ground and pressed against the wall to keep going. Finally arrived at the entrance of the hall, and there was an elevator opposite the door.

"Yaoyang, quick!"

I withdrew my gaze from the elevator door and turned to walk into the hall with them. The hall was in a mess at the moment, the whole hall was full of overturned tables and chairs, spilled food and fruits, and it was full of cockroaches and ants. There were also two female corpses with only half of their bodies left on the ground. The whole hall was stinking and full of flies.

I said to them, "I rely on ...... Take everything you can drink. Food...... Only go to the corridor and look in each room to see if there is one.

Half a minute later, we walked out of the stinking hall. Zhang Yihui found two bottles of 82-year-old red wine, Li Chao found a piece of mineral water, Wu Meng found two edible apples, and Zhou Yongming and I didn't receive anything except stepping on oil and blood. I walked back to the corridor, and Zhou Yongming said, "Put the things here, and I'll help you control the wind." ”

I replied: "Good! He turned the wind, and the four of us looked for it in a room by one. The door must be opened lightly. ”

I carefully opened the door of the guest room a small crack, looked inside, and only opened the door completely after making sure that there were no zombies in the room. There are all the rooms with strong Tibetan characteristics. Wooden coffee table, wooden bed, large wooden wardrobe, large TV. I opened the closet and found two white dressing gowns inside, and immediately put one on myself, wearing it like a Japanese, but at least I didn't have to be naked anymore. Then I opened all the drawers and rummaged through them, the remote, the weekly, the newspaper, the condoms...... It's good stuff, the only thing I got in this room was a fig leaf and two condoms on my body.

"Yaoyang."

As soon as I left the room, I met Wu Meng, and he also put on a nightgown for himself, as if the two of us had just finished doing a big health care and went out. After throwing a nightgown to Zhou Yongming, who was in charge of the wind, he entered the next room. I went from room to room two more times in a row, and I didn't get anything but condoms. Lao Zhang and Li Chao also walked out in their nightgowns, and they both shook their heads, indicating that they had gained nothing.

We set our sights on the last room...

Wu Meng said: "Forget it, let's go back." ”

Lao Zhang said: "Otherwise, take a look again." It's not bad for this one room. ”

This time, I didn't open a small crack first, but pushed the door open. But the sight in front of us stunned us all. There were actually three men in the room with fruit knives, staring at us vigilantly.

"Friend, we're not zombies! Just relax! "I held out my hands to tell them not to be nervous, and when they saw that we weren't zombies, they motioned for us to go in and close the door.

I walked up to them and asked, "Dude, have you been here for the past two days?" ”

One of the men said: "Yes, we were going to go downstairs with the others, but we ended up on the stairs, but fortunately we were smart enough to hide in this room and escape." None of the people who squeezed the stairs ran away, all dead. ”

He wiped his face with palpitations and asked, "You guys came down from upstairs, right?" ”

I nodded and replied, "Yes, let's go down and get food and water." That's what you find. ”

The man looked at the things in the hands of our people, smiled and continued: "Hi ~ fifteenth floor, everything that can be eaten is here with us. ”

With that, he opened the cabinet and motioned for us to take a look.

No wonder we didn't get anything after a long time, it turned out that they had already searched for things. There are six pieces of mineral water in the cabinet, all kinds of snacks, beer, red wine, and the cabinets are almost full of stacks.

Wu Meng was stunned and said, "Damn! That's good, buddy! ”

The man smiled proudly and suddenly said with a sad face, "For these things, we also took the life of a brother. ”

I remembered the horrific corpse in the hallway, it seemed that they had been four people before, and one of them had died outside when they went out to look for food. The three of them were also trapped in this room because of the zombie outside.

I looked at him and said, "Dude, we have avenged the revenge of the brother at the door." Now come upstairs with us. ”

"Good!"

We used the sheets, quilt covers, and dressing gowns to pack the contents of the cupboard. There were eight of us now, each carrying a large bag of food, and the man glanced at the corpse on the ground, kicked the dead corpse next to him, and continued to follow us to the stairwell. I stole a glance at the zombies on the stairs on the 14th floor below, and turned around and motioned for everyone to quietly go upstairs to the rooftop. But I never expected that the things on Zhou Yongming's body were not tied tightly, and a bottle of beer was drawn out of the baggage..."pop" and shattered.

"Ahh ～～”

The zombies on the stairs on the fourteenth floor rushed up with a roar as if they had been summoned.

"Run! Come on! ”

We immediately changed five steps into one step and rushed up the stairs desperately.

"Come on! You ugly bastards! ”

I looked back when I heard the sound, and saw Zhou Yongming actually running towards the corridor. As he ran, he shouted, "I'll lead them to the hall!" Run! Nearly a hundred zombies all chased Zhou Yongming and rushed to the direction of the corridor hall below, and none of them caught up.

"Brothers! I said that Lao Tzu is a gentleman, and Lao Tzu is not cowardly! ”

After the words, there was a heart-rending scream from the hallway. Zhou Yongming used his life to lead away the zombie group, giving us precious time to go to the rooftop. I suddenly felt tears fall from my eyes, and I whispered, "Brother, you are a master!" You don't cowardly! ”

Wu Meng grabbed me in a daze and rushed to the iron door on the rooftop.
