Chapter 22: Escape from Treasury 15
The office was pitch black, and the starlight and moonlight shining through the glass windows in the hallway were unusually dim.
This is the darkness before dawn, it is the darkest time of the day, I don't know why, but this heavy darkness at this moment gave Wang Qiong an inexplicable sense of security, she did not turn on the office light, in order not to disturb the tranquility of the night, she even deliberately lightened her steps, let herself completely integrate into this darkness.
With the memory of working here for more than ten years, even in the dark, Wang Qiong effortlessly found the sample rice that the rice industry sent her, and carried two bags of 20 catties of packaged rice in one hand, Wang Qiong laboriously moved the rice in her hand outside the office door one after another.
When he was about to throw one of the bags of rice outside the telescopic door, he accidentally glanced at it and suddenly saw a dark figure standing up in the duty room. Wang Qiong was frightened, and immediately reflected that this should be the old man who beat the guard.
Wang Qiong originally thought that after getting the government notice, he would have left, but he didn't expect that not only did he not leave, but he also encountered the embarrassing scene of climbing over the wall and coming in to "steal" rice.
Wang Qiong reacted after the initial surprise, smiled awkwardly, brushed the hair scattered around her ears, and said to the old Zhang Tou in the duty room: "Master Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm Wang Qiong, I left something that I was in a hurry to use, come and take it off." ”
Wang Qiong also knew that her improvised reason was too fake, what could be worth it for a woman who didn't sleep in the early hours of the morning and smashed the glass of the unit to get it?
But Wang Qiong really can't think of any other reason at the moment, she just wants to deal with Master Zhang, hoping that after revealing her identity, she won't let him stop her by yelling.
As for tomorrow? It is not certain whether there will be a leader to come to work tomorrow.
What puzzled Wang Qiong was that the old Zhang Tou in the duty room just stood there, as if he hadn't heard what he said, neither the next move nor any response to what he said.
The strange reaction of her husband Lao Zhangtou aroused Wang Qiong's curiosity, and she took two steps closer to the duty room in confusion, wanting to see what happened to Lao Zhang.
When I got closer, I saw that the shadow in the duty room was swaying from side to side in a slight amplitude.
Is Old Zhang Tou sick? Wang Qiong put her face close to the glass of the duty room, and the moment she got closer, she saw that the figure in the room suddenly found her, and her unfocused pupils stared directly at Wang Qiong's face, and suddenly pounced on Wang Qiong through the window.
Wang Qiong was so frightened that she screamed and jumped out of the distance.
I saw Lao Zhangtou's head breaking out of the glass window of the duty room, and his wrinkled face was cut by the sharp glass with more than a dozen bloody wounds, and black blood flowed all over his face, but he didn't realize it.
It opened its mouth wide, revealing its black and white broken teeth, and opened and closed fiercely at Wang Qiong.
Wang Qiong's legs were weak, and she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, and a stream of warm water between her legs wet her pants and flowed to the ground.
Lao Zhangtou waved his hand and completely shattered the glass on the window, and the whole person climbed out with the window frame.
Wang Qiong didn't care about her sore legs, and got up and ran towards the grain depot compound.
Lao Zhangtou climbed out of the window and fell to the ground because of the drop in the window, and his left leg and ankle, which were already old, were broken. But there was no pain, and he limped after Wang Qiong.
In a panic, Wang Qiong ran to the nearest granary, but saw a huge lock hanging on the door of the granary, so she could only continue to run to other granaries helplessly.
She remembered that yesterday afternoon, the No. 15 granary in the compound had just been pulled away halfway because of the grain being transported outward, and the gate on the outer layer of the granary had not been locked last night, and only the grain blocking door inside the gate had been locked, so she hurriedly ran to the No. 15 granary.
The old man behind him became a zombie due to a broken ankle, although he didn't feel the pain, but the continuous running made the fracture that was only a few bone cracks completely broken, and he could only rely on the skin and flesh outside the bone to connect the soles of his feet, and land on the ground with the broken stubble of his calf, supporting it to chase Wang Qiong.
Although Wang Qiong's figure had disappeared from its sight, it still chased after it unhurriedly with a strong body odor that had not yet dissipated.
The gate of the grain depot consists of two floors, one is the conventional storehouse door, and the second is composed of two inward-sloping door panels to form an inner triangular cone door. The first door is to close the storage space, and the second door is to prevent the grain in the warehouse from being squeezed, resulting in the situation that the door cannot be opened.
Because of the laziness of the warehouse keeper, the door of the No. 15 warehouse was only closed at this time, but it was not locked, Wang Qiong hurriedly pulled open the first layer of the door, removed the baffle at the bottom of the second layer of the gate, and drilled into the granary.
Dragged a few bags of grain that hadn't had time to be loaded, and piled them up into the hole in the grain door.
When the third bag was piled up, there was a roaring knock on the door outside the door, and the zombie that Lao Zhangtou had turned into had followed Wang Qiong's smell of urine and chased to the door of the No. 15 warehouse!
Wang Qiong threw the grain in her hand on the ground like an electric shock, climbed up the grain pile in a panic, hid in the depths of the granary, curled up, and cried.
I don't know how long it took, but there was gradually a little light in the warehouse, and the mobile phone that I suddenly remembered relieved Wang Qiong, who was panicked.
It's the phone number of her daughter Zhao Dan! I went out at 2 o'clock, and more than four hours had passed at this time, and when I answered the phone, Zhao Dan's voice was already crying.
"Mom! Mom, where are you? Are you okay? ”
Wang Qiong hurriedly calmed down, "Mom is still in the unit, it's okay, Dandan, how are you?" ”
"I'm okay mom" Hearing Wang Qiong's voice, Zhao Dan relieved himself.
"Mom, the people on the street are crazy, I saw Uncle Liu downstairs bite Aunt Li to death!"
"Dandan, Dandan, don't be afraid, lock the door, close the curtains, don't go out! Mom will be back soon! ”
Hearing her daughter's words, Wang Qiong's heart suddenly twitched, could it be that there are already people outside who want to be infected and mutated like Lao Zhangtou.
Thinking about her daughter's safety, Wang Qiong, who was curled up in the corner, stood up. Look around for the way out.
"Mom, don't come back! The streets are full of biting zombies, and you'll die when you come back! You should stay there or wait for Daddy to come back! Hearing that his mother was coming back, Zhao Dan hurriedly stopped.
At this time, downstairs of Zhao Changguang's house, there were screams, countless people were surging in the streets, chasers, mutated zombies frantically biting the people around them, and several zombies fell from time to time in the residential buildings on both sides.
Some fell on the street, unable to get up with broken bones and tendons, while others fell on the heads of the fleeing people, biting on the spot the passers-by who were knocked down under them.
The whole town seems to be transformed into Shura hell! Every survivor can only tremble in the corners of hell.
The knocking sound of zombies outside the door and the dissuasion of her daughter calmed Wang Qiong.
Yes, the zombie outside the door alone has no way to do it, if you run to the street, you are really killing yourself.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiong calmed down.
"Mom, are you safe? Did you contact my dad? Zhao Dan said with concern on the other end of the phone.
After telling each other for half an hour, Wang Qiong hung up the phone and thought about making a few calls to her parents, but no one answered......
In this way, the first day of the zombie outbreak passed in Wang Qiong's fear and crankiness.
As the smell of urine in the air gradually faded, Lao Zhangtou's tapping outside the No. 15 warehouse had stopped, Wang Qiong cautiously looked out a few times through the crack in the door, and saw that the old Zhangtou who had lost his goal was pacing at the door of the warehouse at the moment.
Its expression was sluggish, its feet drooping on the ground, and as it continued to move slowly, the flesh at the junction was blurred with flesh and blood, ready to break at any moment.
There is still a large amount of mineral water at the door of the warehouse, which was bought by the driver of the grain for the stevedores, which just solved Wang Qiong's drinking water problem at this time. In the afternoon, when Wang Qiong felt hungry, she took out a few grains of corn from the bag to satisfy her hunger.
Fortunately, she was able to contact her daughter through her mobile phone, so that Wang Qiong, who was trapped here, had a difficult first two days.
When there was a sound from the direction of the train station just now, Wang Qiong was hesitating to find a way to get out, he couldn't be trapped here for the rest of his life, not to mention that there was not much water in the first place, and the last bottle was left at this time.
She tore open a few woven bags, prepared to tie them into ropes, bypassed the old man at the door through the vent, and ran home, but unexpectedly saw her husband, who was haunted by her dreams, actually jumped in from the train station.
At that moment, her tears flowed down, it was really an eyes-opener!
Not only did her husband not die, but he also risked his life to come back to find them, so that he who had been trapped here for six or seven days ran into his husband!
Now I'm saved! My daughter was saved! The family is back together.
Zhao Changguang quietly listened to his wife's experience in the past few days, and while sighing about the luck of his family, he tightened the cap and cap of half a bottle of mineral water in his hand. He caressed his wife's haggard face lovingly, and looked at the sacks of grain piled up at the door.
said softly: "Wife, let's save Dandan......"
As he spoke, he handed the water to Wang Qiong, took out two woven bags from where Wang Qiong was weaving ropes, and removed the three bags of grain blocked at the entrance of the cave.
The zombies outside the door were alarmed by the movement inside the door, and when they got closer, they clearly smelled the breath of the living, and began to bang violently on the door of the granary.
Zhao Changguang gently opened the baffle, revealing a gap, and Lao Zhangtou's withered arm stretched in.
"Put a bag on his gloves and find a rope to tie them up!" Zhao Changguang tightly blocked the baffle to prevent it from opening a larger gap, and shouted to Wang Qiong.
