Chapter 4 Being alive is more important than anything else

Zhang Zhao felt a burst of pain, he looked down and saw that his eyes were met by a half-blooded broken leg. He was no longer able to get up again, and the arm force in his hand fell two meters away. A group of zombies with teeth and claws were walking towards him, and he raised his hand to stop it, but he couldn't stop it anymore. He could only watch as the zombies tore through his body and devour his internal organs one by one. Then, plunge into the boundless darkness.

"Ahh Zhang Zhao woke up in shock, it turned out that all this was a dream just now. He patted his heavy head and looked at the time again, it was already more than ten o'clock, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't hold back and fall asleep, he saw the door open, and suddenly his spirit tensed up again, and he stood up holding the arm force device beside him. Guo Rong and those two girls have disappeared? There was no sign of a fight in the room, indicating that it was not attacked by zombies, nor was it attacked by other living people.

He walked out the door, and the zombies outside the fire gate also dispersed, and it was as silent as ever. The doors of the two girls' houses on the opposite side were open, and there was a sound of talking from inside. Zhang Zhao walked in the door and saw Guo Rong sitting on the sofa shyly, in such a clean boudoir, it was estimated that he was also the first time. It was the first time Zhang Zhao had seen the boudoir of these two girls, full of pure white. If they were to live in an apartment like this, it would turn black in two days.

"Hello, I'm Song Qing, this is Han Yue, thank you for saving your life last night." Song Qing was in high spirits, pulled her little friend, and stretched out her hand to Zhang Zhao to express her gratitude. Zhang Zhao looked around at everything in the room, clean, neat, cute, full of youthful atmosphere, and there were sunny and beautiful photos of two girls hanging on the wall. The two also changed into clean and fashionable clothes, and washed and put on makeup, looking very beautiful. There was also leftover cake and milk on the table.

Song Qing looked at the other party expectantly, but she didn't expect that the man in front of her grabbed her hand and asked viciously, "Bitten?" ”

Zhang Zhao saw that she was injured and tied the bandage, and in a hurry, he grabbed Song Qing's hand hard. Song Qing looked frightened and said innocently: "No... No, it was scraped by the door last night. Zhang Zhao raised his hand and looked at it, and asked Guo Rong's opinion before putting her hand down.

Zhang Zhao asked about what happened yesterday, and it turned out that when the zombie virus broke out yesterday, she was shopping with her roommate Han Yue in a nearby mall. As soon as they finished settling the bill, they saw everyone outside running in a panic, and felt that something was wrong, so the two drove back to their residence. But as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the underground parking lot, a terrible scene occurred. First, the security guard stood there silently, ignoring no matter how he shouted. Just as the two were complaining, there was a bang, and the security guard was pale, staring at two eyes that were about to burst out, desperately opening his teeth, and patting the big car window. Song Qing's family is good, and as soon as she graduated, her family bought an SUV for her to commute to. This novice is on the road, and the ghosts and gods are afraid of three points. was so frightened that he couldn't control his hands and feet, stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and the car directly knocked the barrier railing away.

There were a few zombies in the underground garage, and they were also hit by the car that was running wildly all the way, and the car barely stopped, and Song Qing was also shocked. After a while, the two wanted to hurry upstairs, but it was too late. Zombies attracted by the sound of car crashes and brakes are slowly surrounding. Reading more books is beneficial, and thanks to the fact that the two chose to lock the car door at that time, they did not blindly rush upstairs, otherwise it would be difficult to escape. Seeing that the car was surrounded by zombies, although they trembled with fear, they did not scream uncontrollably, although Han Yue peed his pants in fright. If you lie on the car and don't look at the zombies, you won't be so afraid. It wasn't until late that they watched the zombies around the underground parking lot disperse before they went upstairs softly.

When I reached the third floor, I heard someone talking inside. The two people who collapsed seemed to see a life-saving straw, and they knocked on the door desperately in a hurry, but they didn't expect this move to attract a large number of zombies and almost die there. When a person is almost desperate, someone pulls you by the hand, more than anything else. The heartfelt gratitude made these two bold and careful girls suddenly full of infinite affection for the two big boys who are inconspicuous on weekdays.

On the third day of the virus outbreak, the silence around was terrible, and the corpses on the street smelled disgusting and unpleasant due to the very high temperature outside. Song Qing sprayed a lot of air fresheners in the room and in the corridor, otherwise, the smell of corpses was enough to make several people unable to eat.

Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong were busy working on fortifications and reinforced the obstacles at the fire door and elevator entrance. When we have time, we gather around to exchange some opinions and good suggestions. The four are close in age, so it is not difficult to communicate. Now the whole city is like an empty city, and it is not known how many surviving humans there are. Zhang Zhao was already making plans to hold out until the food was cut off, and if no one came to the rescue yet, they would have to find a way out on their own.

Song Qing and Han Yue also changed their clothes, and in order to facilitate their movements, they changed into long clothes and pants sportssuits. It's the hottest season of the year, but that's the only way to be on the safe side. Zhang Zhao also instructed everyone to prepare a backpack and put some necessary things, such as food, drinking water, light sources, etc. Just in case, it's better to grab your backpack and go.

Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong called their parents, both families were on the road, and fortunately, Zhang Zhao's father was a soldier in the Security Alliance when he was young, although he was old, his reaction ability was not comparable to ordinary people. There were several dangers along the way, but they were all avoided and unharmed. It's just that Guo Rong's mother remembers her son in her heart, and she is not in a good state along the way.

Song Qing and Han Yue finally dialed the phone at home on the third day, but they simply said a few words to their parents and then disconnected. This made the hearts of the two girls feel a great loss, although they are safe and sound, but now everyone probably wants to be with their families.

On the fifth day of the outbreak, the cable TV signal was lost, and the phone calls were intermittent, so everyone could only send messages to their families, often with delays.

On the sixth day, an armored car drove out of the community today, and a small team of people carried out a search and rescue mission. If it weren't for this team, Zhang Zhao and the others wouldn't have known that there were still many living people nearby. Everyone cried out for help as if they saw God, which also caused a large number of zombies to be attracted to the sound. There was a riot and gunfire outside, and the rescue team finally retreated in a hurry when two members of the team were killed and wounded, unable to resist the powerful zombie team.

On the seventh day, a new emergency notice came out on the Internet, and the plane flew at a low altitude, scattering many leaflets. The major towns in the Central Plains were reduced to dead cities, and the large army was unable to break through to the west, so they were forced to retreat to the eastern islands and establish temporary security areas. Appeal to the survivors to go to the area and rebuild their homes.

On the eighth day, Han Yue fell ill and was in a very weak physical condition. I don't know why, the body has a high fever. Everyone has tried various ways, but it may not be able to alleviate the symptoms. There was no medicine for the high fever at home, and everyone was in trouble.

Day 9.

"Is she better?" Zhang Zhao asked softly, looking at Han Yue, who was pale and delirious on the bed. Song Qing had just changed her wet towel, her face was full of sadness, and she shook her head: "No, if it goes on like this, the consequences will be unimaginable." I've got to find a way to get her medicine, I only have such a good friend, I can't let her have an accident. As he spoke, he began to swallow.

Guo Rong called Zhang Zhao away, and the two returned to their homes. Guo Rong said: "What should I do? Han Yue will definitely not be able to go on like this. We can't really let Song Qing go out alone to find medicine for her, right? Since Song Qing has this plan, it is estimated that she will do so. No matter how others dissuade her, even if she is looked at to death, she will find a way to get out. In the current situation, let alone that she is a weak girl, even people like Guo Rong and Zhang Zhao dare not take risks easily.

What can I do? You can't just watch Han Yue have an accident.

Just then, the two heard movement in the hallway. The two doors have been reinforced, and even if a zombie hits the door, it will take a large number of zombies to break through the obstacle. What's more, as long as they don't anger the zombies, these things without intelligence won't make such a move. The fear of doomsday made everyone very sensitive, and the first reaction of the two was to run out with weapons.

When I came out, I saw clearly that it was Li Yan next door, who was trying to move the tables and chairs blocking the aisle. I haven't seen it for nearly a while, Li Yan at this time has messy hair, the clothes on her body are also dirty and disgusting, there are a few wounds on her face, and a foul smell emanates from her body.

Seeing the two of them standing there with weapons in their hands viciously really startled her. Guo Rong didn't have a good impression of this woman herself, and scolded: "What are you doing? Li Yan may have been frightened by Guo Rong's angry shouting in this life, or maybe she was frightened by something, and she cried all of a sudden. This move overwhelmed Zhang Zhao and the others, it's daytime, it's the time when the zombies are active, this girl is making such a fuss, isn't it leading the nearby zombies to this side?

"Shut up, you want to kill us." Guo Rong held the steel pipe, and really wanted to give Li Yan a look and make her stop crying. Although it is the last days, for a woman, it is not so bullying. Zhang Zhao is not an eventful person, although Li Yan is more annoying, but now it is like the end of the world, it is not easy for people to be alive. Besides, everyone is in the same building, so they are in the same boat.

"Where's your husband?" Zhang Zhao thought that maybe this woman's husband had no food at home, so he asked her wife to think of some way. This time, I didn't have any extra food, so I couldn't give them anymore. But if you think about it carefully, it's been nine days, and Li Yan looks embarrassed, but she doesn't look like the kind of person who is hungry due to lack of food.

When the two came to Li Yan's house together, they were frightened and disgusted by what they saw. The curtains of Li Yan's house were closed, the room was filled with an indescribable stench, all kinds of bread and fruit residues were scattered on the table and on the ground, and the mineral water bottles were also poured one by one, just like a garbage dump. In the bedroom, Wang Dong, who was originally fierce and vicious, was tightly tied to a chair. Wang Dong hung his head, his clothes and pants were tattered, and there were some congealed black blood stains.

"Holy, what's going on? Is your husband sick? As soon as Guo Rong said this casually, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. Wang Dong looked like this, eighty percent was bitten, and out of helplessness, Li Yan tied him to the chair like this. Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhao thought of the scene he saw when he entered the door, and asked, "What happened?" “

It turned out that that night, Wang Dong and Li Yan ran home, and the two of them blocked the door in a panic. After hearing no movement outside through the door, Wang Dong, who felt angry, became angry and beat his wife. In order to beg for a little food, although Wang Dong is not a thing, he has never been despised like this since he was a child. He couldn't stand the anger, and he had nowhere to vent, so he could only smash things and beat his wife.

In the early hours of the morning, I couldn't bear the pain of hunger. Wang Dong finally decided to take the risk and go out to find something to eat. He observed for more than half an hour, calculated the route, pinned a kitchen knife to his waist, opened the bathroom window, and climbed down the sewer. Fortunately, this is a relatively new community, all the facilities and materials are good, and there are no accidents when I climb downstairs. There is a convenience store at the entrance of the community, although the store is not large, the goods are complete.

Maybe it was the movement made by Song Qing and Han Yue before that attracted most of the zombies to the underground parking lot. Wang Dong was very smooth along the way, occasionally encountering one or two zombies passing by in the distance, as long as he stood still, he would be fine when the zombies passed. This guy has always been a mixed society, not to mention anything else, but he did it neatly. Lockpicking is a skill he mastered more than ten years ago. Wang Dong opened the door of the convenience store, found a bag in the store, filled some bread and biscuits and other food, and returned home smoothly.

Looking at the table full of food in front of him, Wang Dong's self-confidence swelled, and he secretly praised his intelligence and skills. That night, the husband and wife never found out that what they would hardly eat on weekdays was so delicious and thirsty. The things in the convenience store were enough for the two of them to eat for several months. It's just that he can't take that much at once, and in order to prevent others from discovering their free warehouse, he locks the door every time he finishes taking something. And every time he got so much food, he would curse at Zhang Zhao and their family, as if he wanted to avenge the humiliation of that night.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. That is, the day the search and rescue team came to the intersection outside the community, perhaps because of the daytime riot, most of the zombies were attracted to the nearby road. Wang Dong, who finished eating the food, climbed the water pipe downstairs as usual, and when he just walked to the door of the community, he found that there were more than a dozen zombies hanging around outside the security guard. It's not good, when Wang Dong realized that he couldn't get back a bag of food like he did a few days ago, he subconsciously ran back. After running a few steps, he was caught by two zombies hiding in the dark. In a panic, Wang Dong brandished a kitchen knife and cut down one of the zombies. The bones and skin of zombies are not as tough as ordinary people, and kitchen knives are not very sharp weapons. Once you go down, you can't pull it out again. Wang Dong finally crawled home, but when he was fighting just now, he was still bitten by a zombie on his arm.

This small bite was enough to bite his life. Knowing that his fate was about to end, and seeing Li Yan, who was injured, with a caring face, Wang Dong's conscience found out and asked Li Yan to tie him to a chair with a rope. While he was still sane, he babbled a few words. If you are bitten and scratched by a zombie, if the wound is not fatal at the time, the spread of the virus will be delayed.

Wang Dong was tied to a chair for about ten hours. The exposed skin turned a dull gray, the body trembled constantly, and a low roar came out of the throat.
