Volume 1 Campus Chapter 31 Calm (II)
"?"
In the evening, the sky is getting darker and darker, and people are lighting alcohol lamps. But at this moment, Zhang Li exclaimed in surprise after inadvertently looking out the window.
People looked at him, but they didn't know what was happening.
"Look!" Zhang Li hurriedly pointed to a street lamp outside the window, "That lamp!" It's still on! ”
People looked through the curtain towards where he was pointing, and although it wasn't obvious, the street lamp was on. Not only this one, but almost all the street lamps as far as people can see are lit, and there are some zombies that have attracted them underneath. The people who looked at this scene couldn't say a word for a long time.
"It's not that ...... Is there a power outage? Then why are these street lamps ......" Chen Tao, who was the first to react, asked, and people invariably looked at Li Ling. Li Ling, who was stared at like this, his lips moved, but he couldn't spit out a word, and his back was already sweating.
"You weren't lying to us before, were you?" Zhang Li glared at him fiercely, so frightened that Li Ling didn't dare to look at him at all.
"I ......" Li Ling wanted to pronounce the word a little longer so that he could come up with a countermeasure, but he found that he couldn't think of any excuse at all, and tension was already coming towards him.
"Could it be ......" Ye Yuyao in the crowd said, looking thoughtful, "Tripped?" ”
"Did you trip...... people looked at her again, but Liu Shaoqing repeated as if understanding.
"Well, the voltage has been very unstable these days, maybe it tripped when we slept last night." Ye Yuyao explained.
"Then let's find out where the power switch is before it gets dark."
"No need," Ye Yuyao said first, "I seemed to see it when I cleaned up the storage room before, if I guessed correctly, it should be, after all, it's similar to my home." ”
"Then please take us there."
"Hmm."
People followed Ye Yuyao to the storage room, although the warehouse was safe, people still liked to get together, as if this would reassure them. It is also worth mentioning that the beds in the warehouse are very close to each other, but there is a gap in the middle, and they are concentrated in the back of the warehouse, and there is a spacious area near the warehouse door, so everyone is probably afraid of what will happen at the door while sleeping.
Before leaving, Zhang Li glanced at Li Ling, and Li Ling hurriedly made a look of grievance. It wasn't until Zhang Zhang turned his head that he dared to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
That's what it is.
Thinking of what she did when she was separated from Ye Yuyao this morning, Li Ling couldn't help but smile.
Oops! It seems to have been delayed for too long.
Noticing that there was no longer everyone in front of him, Li Ling reacted and hurriedly followed.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Hmm...... It should be here. ”
Ye Yuyao took the flashlight, peeled off a few cardboard boxes, and saw that there was a dusty brown plastic cover on the wall inside, and a few black buttons inside could be vaguely seen. What's more painful is that the position of this lid is a bit high, and with Ye Yuyao's current height, he barely touched the lid when he stood on tiptoe, and it is impossible to open it.
"I'll do it." Seeing her standing on tiptoe so desperately and wanting to open the lid, Chen Tao chuckled lightly and walked up to her to help her. When Ye Yuyao saw him coming, he had to get out of the way and hold a flashlight to illuminate him, and at the same time felt sad about his current height.
If it was before, it would definitely be possible. She cried inwardly.
Well?
When he reached out to touch the lid, Chen Tao noticed that there were some fingerprints on the place where the lid was broken.
I guess she just ran into it.
Although Chen Tao was a little suspicious the moment he saw it, he didn't think much about it and still opened the lid.
"Which one?" Chen Tao, who opened the lid, turned around and asked Ye Yuyao.
"It should be the one on the far left, that's probably the main valve."
Chen Tao broke the main valve, but nothing changed.
"Let's see if we can turn on the lights."
After Liu Shaoqing said that, Li Ling pressed the switch, and the light on the ceiling flickered a few times, and then the entire storage room brightened.
"It looks like it did trip." Liu Shaoqing looked at the lamp and said, and the others looked at Li Ling with some apologies.
"If you have electricity, you might be able to get some information from the TV."
"Let's go to the office and try it." Liu Shaoqing replied to Wu Shaojie.
"However, Deng Deqiang is still inside......" the fat man Wang Jiale cautiously reminded.
"Hmm...... Then just a few people can go in and have a look, who will go with me? ”
"I'll just go with you." Chen Tao recommended himself.
"Then the rest of the people can just wait outside." After making up their minds, people began to leave the storage room.
"That ......" Before leaving, Li Ling stopped Ye Yuyao.
"Thank you."
"Hmm." Ye Yuyao replied lightly, I helped others, and there is no excuse to give back a little.
"Can I ask...... Why do you want to help me...... It's obviously because of me that I ......" Ye Yuyao's reaction was a little unexpected, and he asked timidly.
“……”
Why? Ye Yuyao was at a loss for a while. Obviously, Li Ling is not a girl, and there is no need to be courteous to him, is it out of a good impression of the four-eyed boy? Although Ye Yuyao admits that he does have a good impression of people who wear glasses, he will not help such a favor.
"Dead ...... It's scary, isn't it? Ye Yuyao thought about it and answered him like this, and Li Ling, who heard this, was stunned.
"To be honest, I had a hard time falling asleep for the past two days, and every time I go to bed, I always think about what happened the day before yesterday......"
"Although we are lucky to be alive until now, we ...... What if it was us who died then? Die...... What would it be like? ”
Speaking of this, Ye Yuyao raised his arm and looked, this position had been bitten before, if it hadn't become like this, what would it have been, would it have died?
Ye Yuyao remembered how he felt before he fell into a coma, he was tired, he gradually lost consciousness, and he seemed to be unconscious at any time. If you really can't wake up, what will happen, ...... yourself Is it just gone? Thinking of this, Ye Yuyao shuddered for a while, and sure enough, many things will only feel terrible later.
"I don't know...... Don't want to know either. When Li Ling said this, his eyes were lowered.
Sure enough, we were all afraid of death. Ye Yuyao laughed self-deprecatingly.
"So, I can understand your feelings."
Hearing this, Li Ling raised his head, but he froze again, he saw the smile on Ye Yuyao's face, it was a poignant smile, heartbreaking and intoxicating.
"It's because I understand that I'm willing to help you."
“…… Thank you. Li Ling said this, showing a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hurry up, be careful of being suspicious of others." Ye Yuyao urged, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hmm." Li Ling answered and followed.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Damn, it still doesn't work." Chen Tao patted the TV hard, but it was still a snowflake.
"Where's the phone?" Liu Shaoqing asked Chen Tao.
"There's no power anymore." Chen Tao took out his mobile phone and pressed it, but there was no response.
“…… Did you find a charger? ”
"Yes, but Apple's."
"......" Liu Shaoqing, who heard this, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and sat on the ground decadently.
Despite the electricity, they were closed off from the outside world, and they did not know what the state of the evacuation zone was, whether the state was responding to such a disaster, or whether the government agencies still existed. All they knew was that the zombies outside the warehouse were still wandering and howling day and night.
Deng Deqiang looked at the two people who had lost hope with half-open eyes, and coughed from time to time. He was woken up by a sudden light when he called, and he wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't have the strength to open his mouth, so he felt that it didn't matter again.
Before, everyone was still sitting in front of the TV, watching the information in the refuge area, and after that, everyone also sat here eating the "loot" that Liu Shaoqing brought back. But now, there are only two people wearing masks and hanging their heads, and they are sick and sick. Probably the others wouldn't be afraid to come in, right?
Deng Deqiang felt that it was getting worse and worse, whether it was the situation outside, the atmosphere in the warehouse, or his body. Although he drank the medicine, it did not show any signs of improvement, but intensified, Deng Deqiang couldn't help but worry, but he still comforted himself that this was just the beginning, and it was not so fast to recover.
"I'm sorry, Deng Deqiang, I'm bothering you." Liu Shaoqing, who had recovered his mood a little, stood up, patted the ash on his buttocks and said.
"Hmm......" Deng Deqiang replied softly, and he didn't have the strength to pronounce the words "It's okay".
"Chen Tao, let's go."
Chen Tao nodded, followed Liu Shaoqing out of the office, and turned off the light.
Before closing the door, Chen Tao glanced at Deng Deqiang, and the light from outside hit his face, looking very pale. Chen Tao frowned, thinking of something bad, but then looked away and closed the door.
After hearing the sound of the door closing, Deng Deqiang fell into a coma again.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work?"
Wu Shaojie looked at the faces of the two people who came over, and guessed a rough idea.
"There is electricity, there is electricity, but there is no signal." Liu Shaoqing spread his hands and explained.
When the people heard this, their faces were disappointed.
Seeing people's performance like this, Zhang Wenting hurriedly cheered up: "Even if we can't watch TV, we still have mobile phones, right?" Maybe you'll hear some of it......"
"Sorry, the phone is out of battery." Chen Tao took out his lifeless mobile phone.
"That'...... As long as there is electricity, maybe there will be a signal one day, or you can find a suitable charger, and if you have a light, you will feel comfortable. ”
The last sentence of "......" silenced everyone for a while.
Realizing that her encouragement was bankrupt, Zhang Wenting looked like a failure, and Ye Yuyao cried and patted her on the shoulder.
"But this electricity ...... And for how long? Not to mention the power plant, even if there is a slight accident with the wires and lines, it is estimated that no one will repair it, and the power outage is a matter of time. Wu Shaojie pinched his chin and said.
"Hey! Can you please stop saying such frustrating words! Zhang Li, who was already in a bad mood because he couldn't get information from the outside world, became even more angry when he heard this.
"I'm just stating the facts." Wu Shaojie shrugged.
"you!" Wu Shaojie's tone made Zhang Zhang so angry that he directly pulled up the stool next to him, and Liu Shaoqing, who saw this, hurriedly persuaded:
"Hey! Calm down, calm down, there's no need to ...... for this little thing."
"A trifle?" Zhang Zhang asked rhetorically, but he didn't look at Liu Shaoqing, but still glared at Wu Shaojie, "Ma Laozi has endured you for three days, who the are you?" What do you want to tell? You know a lot, don't you? Okay, so why don't you go out and break in? As soon as you say you're going out, you're going to fucking retract back into your fucking wall, don't fucking eat what Lao Tzu brought back and shit. ”
In the face of the fierce insults, Wu Shaojie was even more disdainful: "I just don't want to take risks for unnecessary things, and ...... You didn't bring back the food, did you, you just brought a few bottles and cans from the chemistry room, right? ”
"I'm calling you mommy!" This answer directly made the tension explode, and he was about to pick up the stool and slam it at Wu Shaojie.
A white and tender hand pressed his arm, tension froze, and looked to the side, Ye Yuyao shook his head at him, his big black eyes with a lot of pleading.
“……”
"Bang Dang" Zhang Li's originally hideous face gradually relaxed, he dropped the bench, spat on the ground, and turned away with his trouser pockets in his pockets.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Wenting said thank you softly to Ye Yuyao, it seemed that she was scared a lot, Ye Yuyao nodded.
Really...... Does it work?
Ye Yuyao looked at her hand, although she resolved the conflict, she was not happy at all, she would rather be scolded by Zhang Zhang and punched when she did that.
"Okay, okay," Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Liu Shaoqing hurriedly said: "There are so many things that have happened today, it is estimated that everyone is tired, so let's eat something and rest early." ”
Indeed, it's time to rest.
Ye Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief, she felt physically and mentally exhausted, but everything that happened today probably made it difficult for her to sleep again.
