Chapter III: Internal and External Difficulties
I don't know when he fell asleep, or how long he slept, but certainly not for a while, because when he woke up from a nightmare, it was slightly dark outside the window.
When I first woke up, I felt like I was disoriented, and I was confused, and my whole brain was a mess.
If you want to be calm, but you can't do it, it's like being besieged by a nightmare.
Just as Gu Liang was trying to meditate, he suddenly heard a loud noise, which came from outside the window, and it was very dull.
The muffled sound should have come from a distance, Gu Liang got up and walked to the window, opened the window and leaned his head away.
As far as the eye could see, there was a small gas station two miles away, and he had a motorcycle, which he often used to refuel, so he was no stranger to it.
The loud bang came from this gas station, and after the explosion, the flames filled the sky and black smoke billowed out.
If it was a normal time, the sound of the rescue horn could be heard soon, Gu Liang watched from the window for a while, and there was still dead silence outside.
To say that the silence is not entirely correct, those who were killed turned into zombies, following the sound of the explosion, in droves towards the gas station, the closer to the "firelight" place, the denser it becomes.
During this time, he glanced down downstairs, and the zombies in the courtyard were also attracted by this loud noise, and moved to the southeast, because they were blocked by the high wall, after there was no follow-up sound source, they only stayed for a moment, and then roared and wandered separately.
Although the group of molds in the factory is not as big as the gas station, it is also dense, especially a group of zombies with a similar sound of "hungry", which makes people hear that the scalp is numb and the liver is cracked.
He closed the window and went back to his sleeping bunk, by which time he was fully composed.
Yes, it's a post-apocalyptic world, a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies.
Gu Liang stared at the window in a daze, until the sky outside the window turned white, then he shifted his gaze to the mobile phone placed aside, reached out to pick it up, pressed the side button, and the time displayed on the screen was four o'clock in the morning.
Swipe the screen,Open the dial icon,Dial Mo Li's number again,It's sure to be dialed out,But there is no sound coming out of the earpiece,Look at the screen carefully,The signal grid in the upper left corner has disappeared。
It's not clear when the signal disappeared, it may be that he just fell asleep and it was gone, or it may not be there after waking up, the only possible way to contact Mo Li was cut off like this, Gu Liang's mood suddenly became very complicated, not only self-blame and guilt, but also eagerness and confusion.
Self-blame is that he promised his grandfather to take care of Mo Li in the future, but because of his temporary willful impulsiveness, he not only took care of Mo Li, but also made himself fall into the predicament of being isolated and helpless.
And the guilt is when he knows the real reason for the disaster, he has the idea of abandoning Mo Li and running away to live alone, although he and Mo Li are not related by blood, but the company for many years is comparable to that of a brother and sister, if he really discards his sister, he is not as good as a beast.
As for eagerness, he wanted to confirm whether Mo Li and Zheng Jun were still alive, and if so, where they were hiding, only by knowing the specific location could he find a way to save them.
The reason why he is at a loss is because of the current environment, after all, there are deadly zombies outside, he has not taken the initiative to experience it, but he has only passively endured it once, and he has not made any preparations for this.
Although many complicated emotions made Gu Liang's mood very low, he tried his best to suppress himself to keep himself calm and think calmly, he decided to find Mo Li and Zheng Jun, but before the action, there were two things to do, the first was to find a tool to fight the zombies, and the second was to solve the problem of hunger.
It is very difficult to find tools to deal with zombies, in addition to a sleeping bunk in the room, there are only some simple daily necessities, even the mop at the door is a thin iron pipe, and it will be bent with a little effort, and it is really impossible to find a guy to take advantage of, Gu Liang has the heart to dismantle the wooden sleeping bunk.
In fact, he did it, but it was too strong to dismantle, and finally he collapsed on the floor tiredly, and when he tilted his head, he saw a small suitcase under the sleeping bunk.
After a short hesitation, Gu Liang dragged the suitcase out, the suitcase was not locked, opened the zipper around it, lifted the lid and opened it, and there were two types of items inside, one was clothes, the yard was very neat, Gu Liang did not move, and the other was outdoor goods, one by one, there were simple sleeping bags and ropes, as well as hammers and steel shovels.
Gu Liang took out the hammer first, this hammer is not the same as he has ever seen, the main difference is the hammer head, the hammer head is divided into two ends, one end is the common round flat, the other end is a vertical cone, the length of the cone is five centimeters, Gu Liang is not an outdoor explorer, and he does not know the role of this hammer, but it is used to hit the head of zombies at close range, which is the most suitable.
Collect the hammer and take out the steel shovel, this steel shovel is very different from the ordinary, first of all, the grip and the shovel body can be folded, the handle can be stretched after opening, the overall length is one meter, and the structure on both sides of the shovel body is not the same, one side is the zigzag shape, one side is the blade of the knife edge, as for the knife edge is not sharp, that you have to try to know.
Gu Liang took the steel shovel, looked around and didn't find anything suitable, and finally picked up the mattress, aimed at the corner of the sleeping bunk and cut it hard, only to hear a "boom", a piece of thick wood fell in response.
The blade is sharp, the length is appropriate, and the weight is estimated to be about three catties, which is very handy, and the weapons against the zombies are complete, and Gu Liang's self-confidence has increased greatly.
Have confidence but can't be overconfident, as the saying goes, those who drown usually know water, not to mention that the next thing to face is a zombie, if you meet a can't beat it, you can still run, come to three or five, and there are weapons for nothing, he has personally experienced how terrible zombies are.
The next thing is to look for food, before looking for two small things, first got a key under the mattress, the key is the door of this dormitory after testing, the key is a must, before leaving this dormitory building completely, there is a place to ensure personal safety, it is very important. And then there are his shoes, which fell off in the fight with the zombie boy, and he is still wearing only one, maybe he is lucky, there is a pair of women's sneakers under the sleeping bunk, his size is forty-one, and the women's shoes are thirty-nine, and he barely squeezed it to put on the small shoes.
Gu Liang had observed the dormitory before, and did not find any food to fill his stomach, only a large bucket of pure water, with a water pressure device on it, and the hot pot he ate at noon yesterday did not digest much, not to mention, and then he vomited cleanly, and he was hungry until now, and his chest was pressed against his back, but there was no way, and now he can only drink water to satisfy his hunger.
Drinking water until it was five minutes full, Gu Liang didn't dare to drink it anymore, the reason was that it was easy to go to the toilet after drinking too much, in case he couldn't hold back the urge to urinate outside, and he happened to meet zombies again, and zombies wouldn't wait for you to finish solving the problem and then come over to eat you.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents in the future, Gu Liang checked the "weapon" in his hand and the hammer pinned to his waist again, confirmed that it was correct, and gently opened the door of the dormitory, first squeezed out and tilted his head to observe, to make sure that there were no zombies wandering in the corridor, walked out of the dormitory, and gently closed the door.
The corridor was quiet, and he could hear his own breathing quietly, Gu Liang subconsciously shook the steel shovel in his hand and walked down the side stairs carefully.
