Chapter 5: Rushing for the Road
"Whew!"
With a deep breath, Wang Peng put his hands on his waist and looked at himself in front of the mirror.
Since the system didn't play him, it really gave him a mobilizer, and the bodyguards were already in place, the next step was the implementation of the plan that had been made before.
It took ten minutes for Wang Peng to change all his equipment.
Wang Peng changed into jeans and a denim jacket, which was the toughest material he could find, and the flip-flops he wore on weekdays were also replaced with sneakers.
Wearing this body, the stuffy feeling on his face suddenly made Wang Peng feel out of breath.
It's hot now, and the temperature in Changsha has always been above 30 degrees, and I can't stand the heat in my pants and vest on weekdays, let alone him?
However......
Silently glanced at Arnold, who was wrapped in a thick coat next to him, but did not say anything at all.
"Hot spots, hot spots, in case you are caught and bitten by zombies, you still have some protective ability."
Wang Peng carried his sister's schoolbag when she was in high school on her back, although the pink cartoon schoolbag looked very inconsistent, but it could only come, he had already put a fully charged mobile phone and power bank in it.
After tossing for a long time, the sky has darkened slightly.
In summer, the daylight hours are relatively long, and Wang Peng estimates that it will take at least two or three hours until the sky gets dark, and if he moves until night, his vision will be greatly affected.
"Follow me and do what I command!"
Telling Arnold, Wang Peng took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
Wang Peng's hands trembled slightly, and the moment he stepped out of the room, he knew that he was far away from the relatively safe environment, and was about to step into a cruel world that appeared in countless movies and novels.
But......
With his sister's bright smile flashing in his mind, Wang Peng pursed his lips and walked out resolutely.
……
The corridor was quiet, and it looked particularly gloomy in the dim light.
Wang Peng has complained more than once before that there is not even a good light in the corridor of this apartment building, and the long corridor is like a ghost movie scene.
Unexpectedly, now this sentence has finally come true, and no one knows if a zombie will suddenly pounce out of a shadow in the next moment.
"The 4th floor should be safe, otherwise Arnold's knock on the door would have led them all out."
The security door of the Great Celestial Empire is definitely a product of giving people a 100% sense of security, especially in big cities, busy people lock themselves behind the thick security door on weekdays, and few people have nothing to do and open the door wide.
In this way, even if there are zombies, most of them lock themselves in their homes and can't get out.
Cautiously walking towards the staircase, Wang Peng knew that there must be other survivors in these rooms, but it was impossible to rescue them all with his ability at the moment, and knocking on doors door to door to confirm was also a dangerous thing.
"Ask yourselves for good fortune......
Thinking like this in their hearts, Wang Peng and Arnold came to the staircase and walked to the third floor.
The third floor was as quiet as the fourth floor, Wang Peng did not go to the corridor on the third floor to see the situation, but continued to go down the stairs to the second floor.
"Crunch, squeak, squeak."
Just halfway through, a creepy chewing sound made Wang Peng's movements pause.
He hurriedly raised his hand to signal Arnold to stop, and made a silent gesture.
There are zombies on the second floor!
And it seems that there is more than one.
Listening to the sound, they seemed to be eating, and what was being eaten, Wang Peng could naturally guess it.
His face turned slightly pale, and he looked down cautiously.
There were no zombies in the hallway, they were in the corridor of the residents on the second floor.
This is good news, and if you go down the stairs directly to the first floor quietly, you can avoid encountering them.
Although he was protected by Arnold, Wang Peng still wanted to avoid fighting with zombies as much as possible.
"Go downstairs slowly! Don't make a little noise! ”
After conveying his meaning to Arnold, Wang Peng held his breath and cautiously moved downstairs little by little.
The sound of chewing became clearer and clearer, and although the zombies were in the corridor, they were obviously not very far from the entrance of the building.
Wang Peng didn't dare to make a sound, the nervousness and the stuffy environment made his sweat linger.
Suddenly! The chewing sound stops in unison!
Wang Peng's movements stiffened, there was no sound in the silent corridor, and the only thing he could hear was the sound of his own beating heart.
"Uh~~~"
A moan sounded, a sound peculiar to zombies coming from the throat, and it was at the edge of the staircase on the second floor!
"Run!"
Wang Peng no longer hesitated, roared, and ran towards the first floor!
From the second floor to the first floor, in less than 2 seconds, Wang Peng quickly rushed down.
He didn't dare to hesitate at all, rushed forward and kicked open the stone that had been stuck in the corridor door all the year round, and Arnold, who had been following closely behind him, walked out of the corridor door first.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Peng glanced back at the stairs, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking.
The first to bear the brunt was a middle-aged man in his thirties, his suit had long been stained red with blood, his face was hideous, and there was still a little scrap of flesh hanging from the corners of his mouth full of blood.
At this time, it rushed towards Wang Peng, although the steps were faltering, but the speed was not slow at all.
Wang Peng didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately slammed the door shut.
"Bang!"
There was a dull sound of the zombie slamming against the door, followed by a scalp-tingling scratching sound.
A stairway door like this one can only be opened by turning the lock. Sure enough, zombies without intelligence don't know how to open doors.
Wang Peng, who was churning in his stomach, couldn't take a breath, so he immediately led Arnold towards his destination.
He had repeatedly confirmed that there were no zombies around, and even if there were, it was a store on the first floor of an apartment building that was in the blind corner of his perspective.
Plenty of time!
Rushing across the road like a whirlwind, Wang Peng rushed directly into the convenience store.
Closing the door of the convenience store, Wang Peng looked back.
The store in the apartment building behind him was quiet, and there was no movement.
He breathed a sigh of relief, almost slumping on the ground and gasping for air.
"I'm going to die! It's really going to die! ”
His chest rose and fell violently, Wang Peng felt that his eyes were white, his throat hurt terribly, his chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone, and he could even feel a trace of blood between his breaths.
From the second floor all the way to the destination across the street, a rough visual inspection is about 50 meters away.
But under the sprint with all his might, Wang Peng, who lacks exercise all year round, still has a slight lack of oxygen supply.
Throwing the schoolbag to Arnold, Wang Peng pointed to the shelves in the convenience store breathlessly, "Don't make noise, only pick chocolates, high-calorie Snickers, and bagged biscuits, how many are there!" ”
