Chapter 1: The Outbreak of the End Times
A small town in the northeast in the early morning:
A young man with a beautiful face, running in a hurry with a fritter in his mouth, broken, broken, this time the shift is late and will be nagged by the old king.
The young man's name was Wu Xin, an orphan, and he was thrown at the door of an orphanage in less than three months, and the dean who lacked heart and eyes didn't know how to give him this name.
Since the age of twelve, after the heartless dean was arrested for molesting children, Wu Xin began to live alone, barely living on the pension issued by the state every month, perhaps because he was an orphan since he was a child, which caused him to have a strong sense of self-esteem.
But whenever someone dares to laugh at his identity as an orphan, Wu Xin doesn't mind letting him know why Hua'er is so popular, so he finished nine years of compulsory education, and with his half-dead grades, he was even admitted to high school, although it is the worst high school in the city, but it is not a high school. When I went to high school, I had more contact with it, and naturally I spent more, and the pension given by the state gradually became insufficient.
He co-opted two buddies from his orphanage, and relied on his ruthlessness to make a name for himself in several nearby schools, but just when Liwei was enough and was ready to collect money next, he happened to be successfully defeated by the school director and expelled from the gang.
17-year-old Wu Xin had no choice, in order to have enough to eat, he had worked as a waiter, car washer, assistant policeman and even the younger brother of the big brother in the society in the past three years, but he was unlucky enough to join the gang on the fourth day, and he arrested the big brother on the fourth day of sweeping away the crime and eliminating evil, and he was unlucky enough to be dragged and squatted for fifteen days of detention.
At the age of 20, I finally applied for a job as a crematorium security guard with honor, and I was able to settle down.
After seeing the five words of the crematorium in N City appear in front of him, Wu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, eight twenty was fortunately not too late.
Walking to the security booth at the door, I looked inside, and a long face was looking at me gloomily. After Wu Xin walked in, he smiled: "Old Wangtou, I'm here to take over, you go back and rest."
"You kid still has a smile on his face, and he doesn't look at what time it is, it's twenty minutes late, and I'm really not tired of working overnight as an old man!"
Wu Xin had no choice but to send the old Wang Tou away with a smile, and pouted as he watched the old Wang Tou twist his ass and ride his bicycle without brakes.
"This old king, his temper is getting bigger and bigger, isn't he late for a while?"
I took the security uniform from the hanger of the security booth, put it on my body, lit a cigarette, sat on a chair and started "going to work".
I am a security guard, depressed all day long, and I go to work in order to get off work, and my salary is only two thousand. I will also think about tomorrow, there is no need to be nostalgic for the past, tomorrow will still be a security guard.
Humming a limerick, Wu Xin looked at the leafy trees outside, this year's climate has been particularly abnormal since August, in the northeast of the previous year in October has been quite cold, November has entered the winter, this year it is December, the temperature is still as high as 30 degrees, the trees outside used to be bald in the past, and now not only the branches are luxuriant but grow more lush. This climate has swept the globe. Of course, the experts say everything, what is the biggest crisis in the history of mankind, global warming is extremely serious, and human civilization will disappear in three months. Those who listened were dizzy and deeply impressed by the nonsense of the experts.
But these things should be left to professionals to discuss, and a small person doesn't have the heart to worry about this.
The crematorium where Wu Xin is located is an old crematorium, built in the early seventies, extremely old, and very deserted on weekdays, because the government built a new crematorium in the south of the city a few years ago, so few people come here for cremation. The stairs where the debris was placed collapsed a few months ago, but fortunately, no one went on weekdays when the debris was supposed to be placed, so no one was injured.
There are now about 20 people in total, including their own staff, and this includes the chef of the canteen.
Just when Wu Xin was in his senses, a 'buzzing' sound came.
Looking up, several workers on both sides of the road were pushing weeders to clear the grass.
What's going on, didn't you just clean it up a few days ago, and then looked at the grass on both sides of the road in the crematorium and found that it was almost half a foot high, and I was shocked, this grass eats hormones? It's been a strange year for genetic mutations.
The time of depression passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon, and Wu Xin walked towards the cafeteria.
The cafeteria is a brick-built bungalow, but it is already old, after walking in, I casually served some food, began to eat, and went back to continue to be depressed after eating well.
Most of the employees in the crematorium are old employees who have been working for decades, they are all uncles and aunts, and what they talk about is just trivial things, so Wu Xin and them have no common language.
"Brother Xin, what's wrong, it looks like a frosted eggplant."
Wu Xin raised his head and glanced at the person in front of him, this person was tall and big, one meter eight and five, shaved his flat head, smiled, and sat next to Wu Xin.
This person is the corpse bearer of the crematorium, he is a stunned young man, from a nearby village, a small crematorium like them can hardly recruit people, they are not like those big factories that can be rotated, this corpse bearer is on call in the factory 24 hours a day, as long as there is a corpse to carry it, there is no dormitory in the factory, every night only to live in bed in the security booth, to survive overnight.
But this guy is very energetic, they are all about the same age, and after a few night shifts, the relationship between the two is not bad.
Wu Xin looked at the rice piled up as high as a hill on Niu Er's plate, and raised his eyebrows: "I'll go, Niu Er, you starve to death and reincarnate, eat so much." ”
Niu Er scratched his head and smiled: "This is the third bowl......"
Wu Xin was choked and stopped talking.
After eating, he beckoned Niu Er to smoke a cigarette.
There are only a dozen dead bodies in the factory a month, or the villagers of the nearby villages, and almost all of the people in the city have been sent to the new factory, so no one cares about fishing in troubled waters at work, after all, the factory director comes when he pays his salary every month, and he can't even see people the rest of the time.
The two leaned against a large tree, smoking cigarettes. There was a conversation without a word
"Niu Er, why do you say the weather is so strange this year."
"I don't know, Brother Xin, I heard the news ......"
……
Wu Xin twisted his sore neck and glanced at his phone, it was eight twenty, and the day of depression was coming to an end.
This old man, isn't he twenty minutes late in the morning, and he's going to be late, as for it?
Wu Xin stood up and moved his body, glanced at Niu Er, who was sleeping like a dead pig behind him, and sighed, hey, this dull and boring life, God, can you make life more exciting.
Suddenly, a sound of banging on the window came, Wu Xin looked, the light of the security booth was too dim to see the outside, so he opened the window of the security booth and said, "Hello, there is ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Xin was a little dizzy and almost couldn't stand.
The person outside the window is the old king, but now the old king, his face is pale, his eyes are dead, there are still unknown pieces of meat hanging on his hair in the Mediterranean, he is covered in blood, his mouth is almost to the back of his head, and he makes a roar similar to that of a beast, and a pair of thin hands desperately grabbed Wu Xin, Wu Xin hurriedly stepped back, and a movement woke up Niu Er.
Niu Er got up and saw this scene, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Damn, Uncle Wang, what's wrong." ”
Wu Xin calmed down his thoughts, looked at the old king in front of him, why did he look so much like a zombie in Resident Evil, and said, "It should have become a zombie?" ”
Niu Er was stunned, and then shook his head: "Isn't that something from the movie, how can it be ......?"
Before the words fell, a car on the road outside suddenly lost its direction and crashed into the grass, and then a middle-aged man fled from the car in a panic covered in blood, shouting for help as he ran.
And a figure also came out of the car, the middle-aged man ran in a panic, didn't run a few steps before he tripped over something, before he could get up, the figure rushed to him, and the next moment he heard chewing and screaming.
And the old Wang Tou, who had been waving his arms, also turned around and walked towards the sound.
Wu Xin picked up a flashlight from the table and shone it into the grass, almost throwing it up.
The middle-aged man's face was pale, and he screamed weakly, and the figure just now also saw it clearly, it was a teenager in a black tracksuit, who was lying on the middle-aged man's chest at this time, digging his internal organs with both hands, constantly stuffing into his mouth and swallowing it, as if he had eaten some delicious food.
And the old Wang Tou also joined in, and in less than ten minutes, the middle-aged man was 'eaten' and only half of his body was left.
Even Niu Er, who has seen hundreds of corpses, his face is extremely pale, although he has also seen all kinds of tragic conditions of the dead, but the scene in front of him is different from those, which is extremely shocking.
Wu Xin looked at the back of the cold, forcibly suppressed the desire to vomit, and hurriedly looked at the two sets of stab-proof suits and helmets hanging in the security room, and hurriedly took them down and threw one set to Niu Er: "Hurry up and put it on"
After the two of them hurriedly put on their clothes, they both held batons in their hands, which made them feel a lot more relieved.
And the old king and the others were busy studying human organs in the grass at this time, and they didn't have time to deal with them.
At this time, Wu Xin's copycat mobile phone suddenly came to the song of good luck, the knock-off mobile phone rang very much, startled the two of them, the baton in his hand almost fell to the ground, Wu Xin picked up the phone in annoyance, just wanted to hang up, but found that it was a classmate in the next province C City, glanced at the old Wang's head, found that he was not attracted, took the phone and said: "What's the matter, five sons." ”
A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Xin, run to a place with few people, something big has happened, the world is in chaos, and people have become zombies." ”
Wu Xin saw such a big event, and Wuzi specially called to care about himself, and was quite moved, and just wanted to speak, there were continuous screams on the other end of the phone, and then Wuzi hung up the phone.
Niu Er also stood next to Wu Xin, and the voice of the phone was heard clearly, it turned out that this matter was not an exception, but a whole country?
Wu Xin dialed the police, but found that the line had been busy, and said with a wry smile: "It is estimated that this kind of biochemical crisis has broken out in the whole city." ”
And the old Wang Tou turned his head and walked towards Wu Xin, which frightened the two of them.
Then he swallowed his saliva and took a deep breath: "Niu Er is ready to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Niu Er yelled: "Brother Xin, run!" ”
With that, Niu Er rushed out of the security booth, climbed over the electronic door, and ran towards the road.
Wu Xin scolded secretly, this grandson ran very fast, but he didn't stop under his feet, and he started to run wild after turning over the electronic door.
And the old Wang Tou and the two roared and ran wildly when they saw the two of them running, and Wu Xin and the two ran even faster when they saw this.
After running for I don't know how long, the two stopped, and turned around to find that the old Wang and the two had already left them gone.
Wu Xin gasped for breath and squatted down, he didn't care about it when he ran just now, and now he stopped and his heart hurt like an explosion, thinking of the scene just now, he felt that his legs were still weak.
Niu Er's situation was better than Wu Xin's, and he wiped his sweat and didn't know what he was thinking.
Wu Xin looked around: "Wait, where are we running?" ”
