Chapter 5 The Attic
"It's been good since I came over, Xiao Yun's job was arranged by his brother before, so she has been working these days, Xiaoxia and I are still looking for jobs, and Xiao Yun and her brother also promised to help us get in touch. And then all of a sudden, these things happened. Ah Cai described as she recalled.
"This incident, how it happened, you can tell me about what you know. Things are so weird, completely beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition. ”
"There was a typhoon yesterday, and Xiao Yun's company didn't have a holiday, so she stayed in the company the night before yesterday and didn't come back. None of us went out, and by the afternoon, Xiaoxia seemed to have some fever and cough. After taking some cold medicine, she said she wanted to sleep, so she went back to her room, and the door was closed. When it was time for dinner, I went to knock on the door and called Xiaoxia to eat, but no one answered, so I called Xiaoyun and her brother Tian Gang to take the dishes and rice, and then brought the rice in together and put it until she woke up before eating. Who knew that when we pushed the door open, we found that something was not right, Xiaoxia stood there, her face was very gray, and her eyes were not bright. Tian Gang and I saw that her face was not normal, so Tian Gang stepped forward to pat Xiaoxia and asked her if she wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up. At this time, Xiaoxia threw Tian Gang to the ground like crazy, and kept biting his face and neck. And then... And then... Woo woo woo woo" Ah Cai said this, couldn't go on, and tears began to flow.
Chen Bin patted her on the shoulder and motioned for her to slow down and calm down.
"I was scared stupid, Tian Gang kicked Xiaoxia away, got up and was about to run out, but Xiaoxia pounced. I was pushed out of the room by Tian Gang, and when I turned back, I saw the door being slammed shut by Tian Gang from the inside. Tian Gang didn't run out, and before the door closed, I saw his face covered in blood. The lips and nose are gone, bones are visible on the face, and teeth are exposed. His screams rang out from the room, and it wasn't long before he was gone. I collapsed on the floor of the living room, too frightened to stand up, and then I crawled back to the room where I slept. It was the smallest of the three bedrooms, next to the balcony, and I usually slept alone. I locked the door from the inside and then took out my phone and dialed 110. ”
"You found the police car downstairs?" Chen Bin asked, no wonder he seemed to hear the siren last night.
"Well," Ah Cai said sadly: "I killed those two policemen." If they didn't call 110, they wouldn't have become like Xiaoxia. ”
"It's not your fault, really", Chen Bin said, "I would have called 110 if I had changed, but why did the two policemen also become zombies?" ”
"After calling 110, I said that there was a dead person in the house I lived in, and they asked me about the situation. I was terrified, I couldn't tell, I guess it was my tone and voice that made them believe me, so they told me to stay in the house and stay still, take care of my own safety, and they would send the police as soon as possible. Hanging up, I sat on the floor still shaking. Brother Bin, do you know? It was the first time I had seen a dead person grow up, and it was my classmate's brother who died in front of my eyes. I heard the siren in the back, and then there was a knock on the door, I knew it was the police coming, I ran to the living room to open the door, and a policeman came up, he looked at the situation in the room and asked me where someone died, I pointed to Xiaoxia's room, which was the room where she and Xiaoyun slept together, originally Tian Gang lived, because we came, so we let Xiaoxia and her sister live. The police went up and knocked on the door, and I said there was a monster inside, and there was another person, who should be dead. At that time, the police looked at me like a monster, and I was in no mood to pay attention to it, hoping that the arrival of the police would bring safety. ”
"After knocking on the door for a long time and no one answered, the police began to kick the door, the wooden door was quickly kicked open, and the room was full of bloodstains, and I saw Tian Gang lying in a pool of blood, and one hand had been broken. The police were also frightened, and when he saw Xiaoxia lying on the ground inside, he went over and prepared to help her up. I was just about to remind him to be careful, but before the words could be shouted, the policeman was bitten by Xiaoxia's neck and fell to the ground. ”
"I was so frightened that I ran back to my room, and I heard the screams of the police outside, and I ran to the balcony again, thinking that it was pitch black and Xiaoxia might not be able to see me. I stuck the balcony door with a clothes pole to make it stronger than the latch on the outside door. After a while, some voices came from outside, and someone should have come up again. The man called out a person's name into the room. I didn't dare to go out because a policeman had just died in front of me. I was scared, I just wanted to hide on the balcony and keep praying that Xiaoxia wouldn't find me. There was a scream from behind, and I didn't dare to make a sound all night, I didn't dare to sleep, and I couldn't sleep, I was afraid that when I woke up, I would see Xiaoxia's face in front of me. I stayed up all night in terror until this morning, until I saw you across from me. Ah Cai said, and took another sip of Coke. I thought everyone had become like Xiaoxia, but when I saw you, I thought of asking you for help. You know the rest of the story. ”
"Well, you have a good rest, I'll cook noodles for you to eat." After listening to Ah Cai, Chen Bin realized that Ah Cai had been hungry and frightened all night, no wonder his face was so bad.
Chen Bin got up and went to the refrigerator to take out shredded meat, as well as 2 eggs, and took out noodles in the kitchen cabinet. "The noodles cook quickly," Chen Bin turned his head to Ah Cai, who was sitting in the bedroom, and then turned on the induction cooker, put the pot on the shelf, added water and began to cook the noodles.
Ah Cai didn't refuse, thinking that she was really hungry. After sitting in a daze, Ah Cai began to look at the environment here. The whole house is cleaned up fairly neatly, and it can be seen that the owner of the room is a person who lives a very regular life.
There were some scattered gunshots outside, Ah Cai walked to the window and looked out, the gunshots were far away, at least some distance from the community. Slowly, the gunfire began to intensify, sometimes mixed with explosions.
Chen Bin brought two large bowls of noodles, each with an egg in it. In the morning, the two escaped from the opposite side, although the distance was short, but the process was extremely difficult, and it was almost noon, so Chen Bin simply made the noodles as lunch.
By the way, he took the beef sauce from the refrigerator, Chen Bin put some for himself, and then handed it to Ah Cai.
"You're welcome, be like your own home", Chen Bin said and started eating.
Ah Cai smiled when she saw Chen Bin's appearance, and began to eat, although she was very hungry, but it was much more delicate than Chen Bin's eating.
"Brother Bin, there are gunshots outside, did you hear them?"
"Well, maybe the police are starting to rescue. No, the police are unreliable, it should be the army. As Chen Bin was talking, he suddenly jumped up. It turned out that half of the poached egg was bitten open in his mouth, and Chen Bin's mouth was burned by the egg yolk.
"Slow down, slow down, I have it too, I won't rob you" Ah Cai smiled mischievously, and returned the words that Chen Bin teased her before.
"I really can't help you, but it's quite similar to what I learned," Chen Bin picked up the bowl and drank a few sips of noodle soup, "It tastes good." ”
The two began to get acquainted, and after eating the noodles, Ah Cai wanted to wash the dishes, but Chen Bin still insisted on washing it himself. In his opinion, Ah Cai should be regarded as a guest, how can he let the guest do housework.
I don't know when the sound of the knock on the door has disappeared, Ah Cai ran over and looked at the situation in the corridor outside through the cat's eye on the door.
"From the door to the bottom of the stairs, there are several" Ah Cai's expression was very solemn.
Chen Bin had already washed the dishes at this time, flushed his hands under the faucet, and also walked to the door to look at the situation outside the cat's eye. In addition to the old man on the first floor, there were indeed several zombies wandering in the corridor between the 6th and 7th floors.
"Could it be that I smell the smell of living people in the house" Chen Bin thought about it, but he didn't come up with any clue for a long time.
"You didn't sleep all night last night, now go and rest," Chen Bin said, "I'll go next door to have a look, I don't know how the person next door and the other door are doing."
"I'm not sleepy", Ah Cai said: "It's dangerous outside, do you really want to go out?" ”
Chen Bin lifted a chair and walked to the bedroom window, "I don't want to go out through the door, you come and see, the attic is open outside, I just need to climb outside, I can go to the attic window of each building in this row, and see if I can go in when the time comes." ”
Ah Cai ran over and looked out the window, and the roof of the attic was two slopes. The inclined plane extends all the way out for almost two meters. The edge of the slope is about half a meter away from the outermost extension of the roof of the 6th floor, and there is a row of small railings about 30 cm on the edge, which is not very dangerous for adults.
"Then you have to be careful, I'm waiting for you here", the window was too high, and it was very difficult for Ah Cai to climb up, and it wouldn't help to go with him, so Ah Cai obediently stayed in the house.
"Hmm", Chen Bin stepped on the chair and stepped out of the window with one foot. Outside the window is a slope, so it is easier to find a place to stay, bend over, and then stick your head and upper body out of the window. Next, Chen Bin firmly held on to the cement wall outside the window and lifted the other foot that was stepping on the chair out.
Ah Cai stood nervously by the window, staring at Chen Bin. Seeing Chen Bin steadily descending to the top of the 6th floor, his hanging heart relaxed a little.
Chen Bin made an OK gesture at Ah Cai and crawled forward. Ah Cai was in the room, his vision was relatively limited, and when Chen Bin went to the side a little bit, Ah Cai couldn't see him inside.
Ah Cai returned to the computer desk in the bedroom and saw Chen Bin's mobile phone on the table. Ah Cai thought about it, picked up the phone and dialed a number. A voice came from my ear, but it didn't connect. Ah Cai looked at her phone, and it turned out that there was no signal. Putting down the phone with some regret, Ah Cai began to be stunned, not knowing what to do.
When Chen Bin climbed in through the window, he saw that Ah Cai had fallen asleep on the computer desk, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to wake Ah Cai up later.
He took out a notebook in the drawer, then took a pen from the pen holder on the table, and Chen Bin began to scribble on it.
