Volume 2 The City Chapter 2 Home
The truck stopped on the side of the road outside the community, and in order not to attract the attention of the zombies in the community, the five people decided to enter on foot.
After getting out of the car, Wang Jiale rarely walked at the front of the line, and he didn't look so scared, it seemed that the familiar environment here made him feel a lot more at ease.
The five of them walked cautiously in the community, which was very quiet, and they could only hear a few birdsong occasionally, and they didn't see zombies. Probably because the outbreak was on Tuesday morning, most people went to work or school, and as a result, there were far fewer infected people here.
Ye Yuyao looked around as he walked. This should be regarded as a high-grade community, the surrounding greenery is very good, there are all kinds of plants and trees, and there are signs with scientific names on some trees. And the silence around her gave her the illusion of being isolated from the world, as if the zombie-infested world was another world. But when she saw the blood splattered on the windows of a house, that feeling was gone. The end has come, and even the home has become less secure.
Walking to a residential building, Wang Jiale stopped, and it seemed that this should be his home.
People walked to the glass door on the first floor, and Wang Jiale just wanted to swipe the card to open the door, but was stopped by Chen Tao. Chen Tao pointed to the bottom of the glass door, and saw a person lying inside, blood splashed on the glass door, and he didn't know if this person was dead.
Chen Tao had to try it himself, he walked to the door and kicked a few feet at the glass door, and then, the man squirmed a few times, then raised his head, looking at Chen Tao blankly with gray eyes. After noticing a few people outside the door, his expression became hideous, and he pounced on the glass door, but what everyone didn't expect was that the glass door was directly knocked open.
"!"
Chen Tao was so frightened that he flashed back, dodged the zombie's claws, and then the tension on the side split the back of the zombie's head with an axe, which relieved Chen Tao's crisis.
"Damn......" Zhang Zhang scolded secretly, and he really sweated for Chen Tao in his heart.
"These guys love to be scary." Chen Tao calmed his breathing and clenched the crowbar in his hand. But just as he was about to walk in, there was a howl in the corridor inside.
"Looks like we'll have to wait a while before we can rest." Chen Tao said as he walked into the corridor and waved a crowbar at the first zombie who walked down the stairs.
—————————————————————————————————————————
It took nearly twenty minutes for them to clean up the hallway.
Wang Jiale looked at the corpse on the ground, and felt very uncomfortable. These were probably his neighbors, and he might have seen them for the first time, or if he had his head broken. The only thing he could recognize was probably the girl who was living in the door across from him. He had met that girl a few times, and she was pretty good-looking, but every time she saw him, she avoided his eyes, as if she was a very annoying thing to be seen by him. But this girl probably didn't expect that her appearance at this time was much more unsightly than herself.
"Hey," at this point, tension slapped him and pulled him back to reality. He looked at Zhang Zhang and found that the other party had a mocking face, "I said, everyone is dead, you won't still be interested in corpses, right?" ”
Wang Jiale glanced at the corpse of the girl at the door again, indeed, the other party's clothes were a little revealing, only wearing pajamas, revealing a pair of thighs, compared to her face, her body was much more intact, but the dead gray complexion would only make people feel scared, who would have any crooked ideas.
"I ...... I didn't ......" Wang Jiale quickly explained, but his stammering gave people a feeling of weakness, but Zhang Zhang didn't want to pay attention to him, just waved his hand and said:
"Where is your house, take us there."
"Oh...... It's just upstairs......"
Wang Jiale said as he led the way up, and then secretly glanced at Ye Yuyao, the only one among these people who didn't want to be misunderstood by her. However, the other party didn't seem to care about what had just happened, which made Wang Jiale breathe a sigh of relief.
When he came to the door, Wang Jiale took out the key, and when he wanted to insert it, he hesitated.
His neighbors, even to the door, turned into that kind of thing, that his parents......
Thinking of this, his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"I said, can't you open it?" Seeing his hesitant appearance, Zhang Li on the side said impatiently.
"I ......" Wang Jiale wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, Liu Shaoqing saw him like this, stepped forward, and patted his trembling shoulder:
"I know you're worried about something, but sooner or later you'll have to know, isn't that what we're here for? And don't worry, we're all here. ”
After listening to his words, Wang Jiale looked at his face, Liu Shaoqing smiled reassuringly, and then Wang Jiale looked at others again, although Zhang Li was still impatient, he still nodded, and Chen Tao also nodded with a smile. In the end, he looked at Ye Yuyao, and the other party actually smiled, it was a smile he had never seen before, without any prejudice, contempt, only care, and that was a smile on him.
At this moment, Wang Jiale felt that his heart was filled, there was no fear, no worry, as if behind the door, it was still that warm home, the only place that could tolerate him, just like Ye Yuyao's smile that tolerated him.
So he inserted the key, twisted the door open, and returned to the haven of refuge from that malicious world, as usual.
However, there were no parents to greet him.
He felt a little lost in his heart, but it didn't matter, maybe his parents were sleeping.
"Dad? Mother? ”
He shouted as he walked in, and the others followed into his house, Ye Yuyao was the last to come in, so he closed the door
It's a small two-bedroom house, but it's well decorated, and the home is very tidy. Ye Yuyao was still thinking about whether to change his shoes, but seeing that Wang Jiale didn't change them, he gave up. However, as soon as she came in, Ye Yuyao felt a little dizzy, as soon as she entered a stranger's house, she would be like this, maybe it was the smell of laundry detergent in the air. I don't know why, Ye Yuyao will smell such a smell of laundry detergent when he goes to his home that loves to be clean, but this time it is a little different, there is a trace of other smell in this smell, and Ye Yuyao also feels that this time the dizziness is worse than before.
"Dad! Mother! ”
Wang Jiale continued to shout, his voice became anxious, and Ye Yuyao also felt that something was wrong, the food on the living room table had already grown hair, and the fruits on the side had already rotted and flowed, and there were a lot of fruit flies flying, and it was too quiet here, except for Wang Jiale's shouting, there were only the voices of a few of them.
Wang Jiale searched the entire room, but he couldn't find his parents, except for the only one that was closed, his parents' bedroom. Wang Jiale looked at the bedroom, swallowed his saliva, and reached for the doorknob.
And Ye Yuyao, who saw this scene, suddenly remembered a scene, which was the scene in her dream, but it was extremely close to this moment.
No...... Don't open ......
Ye Yuyao just wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"Dad, Mom, are you in there?"
Wang Jiale opened the door and shouted inside, the people inside, as if they heard his voice, slowly got up from the ground, the room was very dark, only a vague figure could be seen, but Wang Jiale could recognize it, it was his father.
"Dad...... Is that you? ”
His father didn't answer, just straightened up, and walked slowly towards him.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Mom? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another man also stood up, it was his mother, at least in his eyes.
"Great...... You're all right......"
Wang Jiale's throat choked, he wanted to cry, he didn't know if it was happy or because of something else.
"Wong Ka Le!"
Chen Tao shouted at him, he already felt that something was wrong, and he could clearly smell the rancid stench emanating from the bedroom.
"Mom, Dad, this is my ...... Classmates, thanks to them I can come back, don't worry, I'll ask my mother to make us something delicious later, my mother's fried dumplings are delicious......"
Wang Jiale completely ignored Chen Tao, as if he had entered another world, in that world, nothing happened, everything was normal.
Until a voice that completely destroys the world.
"Ahem, a
Wang Jiale's father let out a roar and pounced on him, but Wang Jiale was stunned, because he saw his father's face clearly, rotten and distorted, there was no trace of humanity in his dilated pupils, and the open mouth of blood basin was clinging to the flesh of unknown people, and the blackened teeth were about to bite into his fat and greasy neck.
"you!"
Suddenly, there was a scolding next to him, and then he was pushed away, and he looked at the man, and it was tension, the most unlikely person in his memory. Then Zhang Zhang kicked his father again, and then raised the fire axe.
"Don't!"
Wang Jiale hurriedly stopped, Zhang Li paused, stepped on Wang Jiale's father, and looked back at him:
"Fuck you don't see that? He has changed! ”
"He's my dad!"
Wang Jiale shouted as if begging, Zhang Li frowned, and then looked at the zombie at his feet, at this time the zombie was struggling, trying to grab his calf, and his dry fingers ran around his pants.
"Not anymore."
Zhang Zhang whispered, a trace of unbearability flashed on his face, but no one saw it. Then he raised the fire axe violently and slashed down at the door of Wang Jiale's father.
"Ahh!!!!!hh
Wang Jiale shouted hoarsely, but it was too late. After pulling the axe from his father's head, Zhang Li split his mother's neck with another axe, and his mother's body fell, but her mouth still opened and closed without giving up.
"Please...... Don't continue......"
Wang Jiale sat on the ground, tears and snot all over his face, and his voice had become hoarse, but these could not stop the tension. I saw Zhang Li walk to his mother's side, I don't know whether to beg for mercy or to grab Zhang Li, his mother's hand reached out to the person in front of him. And Zhang Li, who raised the fire axe again, chopped off her head like he did with her husband. His mother's hand also fell to the ground in a deflated manner.
Tears blurred Wang Jiale's vision, everything around him was so hazy, so unreal, he seemed to see his home at this moment, that complete home.
But he knew very well in his heart that his home was gone.
