Chapter 1: Disaster strikes

Next Chapter

It's been raining heavily for a whole week, and the whole city is shrouded in dark clouds, Yang Heng just got off work, went out with his colleagues, and looked at the rain on the street, very irritable.

"I don't know how long it will rain or when we will see the sun." Yang Heng complained.

"Tomorrow, I looked at the weather forecast, and tomorrow will be sunny," the colleague replied.

"Hopefully, I'll go back first, and I'll see you tomorrow." Yang Heng waved his hand.

"See you tomorrow," the colleague said and left with an umbrella.

Yang Heng also stretched out his umbrella and walked towards the bus stop.

The rent in Pengcheng is very expensive, and for a migrant worker like Yang Heng who has just been here for a short time, if he wants to rent a house near the company, his salary must be at least doubled.

After an hour's bus ride, I finally arrived at the rental house, the house is very old, there is no elevator, and there are not many residents, but it is cheaper, and Yangheng lives on the top floor, with a big rooftop.

After returning to the house and cleaning up briefly, after eating a bowl of instant noodles, Yang Heng began to sit in the house in a daze.

Usually, at this time, Yang Heng was lying on the recliner on the rooftop basking in the sun.

Yang Heng likes sunshine very much, when he was a child in the orphanage, abandoned babies like Yang Heng were named with the help of the dean, and the dean's surname was Li.

Yang Heng is unwilling, he likes the sun, so he should be surnamed Yang, he hopes that he can be bathed in the sun here for the rest of his life, so he named himself Heng, but the dean was stubborn, so he simply followed him.

Yang Heng is different from other orphans, although the orphans who grew up in this environment are a little gloomy and irritable, but the other orphans know how to hide this emotion, because no adult wants to adopt such a child.

Yang Heng never hides this emotion, when there is sunshine on a sunny day, Yang Heng is very cheerful and can laugh all day, but when it is cloudy or rainy, Yang Heng is very irritable, has a very bad temper, and has beaten the orphans in the same hospital several times.

There are many couples who want to adopt Yang Heng, but because they gave up after seeing the other side of Yang Heng, the dean felt that it was a pity and communicated with Yang Heng many times, but Yang Heng never relented.

Slowly, everyone felt that Yang Heng had a mental problem, and no one wanted to adopt Yang Heng anymore, Yang Heng didn't care, because he liked a person and was used to being alone.

After becoming an adult, Yang Heng stayed in the orphanage to help, until after the death of the old director, the orphanage was demolished, the land was requisitioned, and Yang Heng had to leave.

Because of his personality, Yang Heng has changed jobs several times, and he slowly understands how to restrain this emotion, because Yang Heng likes his current life very much.

There is a big floor-to-ceiling window next to the company's seat, and there is a big rooftop when you return home, where you can bask in the sun every day, which Yangheng cherishes very much.

"When you save enough money in the future, you will find a place full of sunshine to retire with peace of mind and enjoy a lazy life~" Thinking about a better life in the future, Yang Heng soon fell asleep.

Yang Heng was woken up in the morning, and there was screaming, screaming and the sound of car horns everywhere outside.

Yang Heng scratched his head irritably, opened the curtains, and then the whole person was stunned.

I saw that the street was chaotic, a group of people scattered and fled for their lives, and they were pursued by a group of old men and children, mixed with a few emaciated young men, all of whom without exception had their entire eyes occupied by black, and they ran crookedly but quickly, and their mouths let out a beastly roar.

Some people who were slow runners were chased by them and immediately fell down, pressed to the ground and frantically bitten and devoured.

"Is this an outbreak of some virus?" Yang Heng slowly came back to his senses after the initial shock, and the scene outside the window reminded him of the movie he had watched before, where most of the people were infected with the virus and became zombies who only knew how to devour.

But there is a difference between the two, the zombies in the movie move slowly and are very weak, as long as they are not surrounded, they can basically run away.

But these zombies downstairs are obviously faster than ordinary people, and they are more powerful, and those who are caught are basically bitten to death without being able to resist.

Thinking of this, Yang Heng immediately went to the door to lock the door, stood up the sofa against the door, closed the window, and glued all the gaps with tape, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be terrible if these zombies hunted according to their taste, as in the movie, but now we can only relieve it like this for a while and see what happens next.

Fortunately, there are still some instant noodles and mineral water left in the house, which can last for a few days, as for the tap water, Yang Heng does not dare to use it.

It's still unclear how these people got infected, or whether it's better to be cautious and observe more.

After a pause, Yang Heng was ready to turn on the TV and mobile phone to see what was wrong, whether Pengcheng became like this, or whether there was a problem across the country or even the world.

It turned out that there was no network on TV and mobile phone, and communication was also out of order, so it was impossible to make and receive calls.

After piling up the things that could be used in the house, and finding an iron rod to defend himself, Yang Heng slowly came to the rooftop, carefully lying on the edge and looking downstairs, slowly observing.

It was not until noon that Yang Heng returned to the house after he was hungry.

After a morning of observation, Yang Heng found that although the strength and speed of these zombies were stronger than normal humans, the strength was limited, and the zombies would die if their heads were broken.

Yang Heng saw with his own eyes that two adults held down a zombie and smashed the zombie's head with a hammer.

In addition, Yang Heng found that these zombies should not hunt through their sense of smell, but may be judged by sound and other kinesthetic perceptions.

Because Yang Heng saw a middle-aged man hiding in the car, the window was broken, but the zombie did not rush into the car to attack him, but waited for him to get out of the car After the zombie that had passed by obviously stopped, and when the owner of the car started to run, the zombie turned around and chased towards the owner, and there were other sounds in the middle, and the route of the chase was not a straight line.

After eating something and resting, Yang Heng continued to come to the rooftop to observe.

If it is really a disaster in the world, and there is no rescue, the only one who can save yourself is yourself, and now observe more, the better the chance of survival.

In the afternoon, there was basically no one on the street, running and dying, and only some zombies were left wandering around.

The building where Yang Heng lives may be because there are few people living in it, so no zombies have been found, but there are obviously a lot of them in several other buildings, and there are zombie roars and human screams and cries for help in several buildings.

Through the window, Yang Heng even saw several zombies gnawing on corpses.

Secretly remembering the houses and floors where these zombies appeared, Yang Heng slowly retreated into the house.

It's getting dark, and it's dangerous to be outside at this time, and I don't know if these zombies will be dormant or more violent at night, or if it's safer to observe inside.

After returning to the house, Yang Heng moved the shoe cabinet to the back of the sofa, leaned on the door and listened for a while, and only after confirming that he didn't hear any strange sounds was relieved.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark Yang Heng hurriedly ate something, put the iron rod beside him, and prepared to continue to observe, otherwise Yang Heng would not dare to turn on the light when it was completely dark, and it would be troublesome if it was exposed.
