Chapter 64 There are also survivors
"It's not easy to survive in the outside environment, maybe a person who is alive today will be dead when he goes to rescue him tomorrow."
Chen Bin's words reminded Cao Shengli of the day Qiao Xingyu and the others arrived at the church, he and Lao Huan were already dying in the storage room, if Qiao Xingyu and they came a little later, maybe he would have fallen to the ground and rotted for a long time like the male owner in the opposite room.
Thinking about it this way, Cao Shengli is no longer entangled.
The little girl dragged out a large hiking bag from the house, which was stuffed to the brim.
"What's in there?" Chen Bin was very curious when he saw this mountaineering bag that stood up almost to Cai Ji's chest.
"Clothes, sneakers, food, blankets, flints, alcohol, tents, and summer homework."
"What, what are you doing with your summer homework?" Cao Shengli and Da Fei were stunned when they heard Cai Ji finish speaking.
"Do your homework, the teacher said that learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, no matter when, homework can't be left behind."
"Xiao Ji, you don't need to bring food and homework, we have a lot of food to eat in the place we are going to. Don't worry about homework, the rest of your classmates may not have done it, and the teacher won't have a chance to check it. Chen Bin tried to convince Cai Ji to reduce the burden on the mountaineering bag.
"No, the teacher of the summer camp said that food is the most indispensable thing for exploration, and these are the things that the teacher taught us to use in the wild." The little girl shook her head, did not take Chen Bin's suggestion, and seemed to regard this trip as an outdoor adventure.
"Okay......" Chen Bin was a little speechless, so he could only ask Cao Shengli to help Cai Ji carry the mountaineering bag.
The four of them were about to leave the place, but Cai Ji suddenly ran into the room inside, took out a picture frame from there, and stuffed it into a very precious hiking bag.
"What's that?" Da Fei asked.
"Family photo," Cai Ji patted his hand on the mountaineering bag, and after confirming that everything was packed, he was relieved.
"Let's go, when we go downstairs, Lao Cao, you work hard to hold Xiao Ji, let's move quickly." Chen Bin turned around and told Cao Shengli behind him, and then said to Cai Ji: "Xiao Ji, no matter what you see for a while, you must keep quiet and don't make a sound, you know?" ”
"Hmm," the little girl nodded vigorously, and then pursed her mouth.
"If we make a noise and are heard by monsters, we won't be able to get out. We've got you covered, so you don't have to be afraid. ”
"OK," Cai Ji gestured and said no more.
Da Fei led the way, Cao Shengli carried a mountaineering bag, led Cai Ji in the middle, and Chen Bin was behind.
Out of Cai Ji's house, the four of them quietly walked towards the stairwell, the little girl walked out of the house for the first time in these days, and was looking around curiously.
Cai Ji saw that the door of his neighbor's uncle's house was open, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered what Chen Bin had said not to make a sound, and quickly closed his mouth again.
Walking to the door of the stairwell, Cao Shengli hugged Cai Ji, Cai Ji put his arms around his neck, and saw that the expressions of the three uncles were a little serious, and they were also a little infected by this atmosphere.
Da Fei pushed open the door of the stairwell and entered the stairway. The air inside is much worse than Cai Ji's house, and the little girl obviously hasn't adapted to the outside environment, and the rancid smell enters the nose, making the little girl very uncomfortable. Cai Ji held his breath for a while and then held his face red, and when he couldn't help it, he took a few more breaths, and his little hands kept covering his nose, his face was ugly.
"Xiao Ji, close your eyes for a while," Chen Bin whispered to Cai Ji when he was about to go down to the ninth floor.
Cai Ji didn't know why Chen Bin let him close his eyes, but he still closed his eyes obediently.
The rancid smell in the stairwell was even stronger, Cao Shengli followed behind Da Fei, carefully bypassing the rotting corpse next to the stairs, and when Chen Bin passed by, he vaguely saw maggots still wriggling on the corpse.
"Are you alright?" Cai Ji asked in a whisper.
"Not yet, I'll call you when it's okay," Chen Bin saw that Cai Ji was about to shed tears when he saw that he was smoked by the rancid air, and the little girl holding back her tears made him feel a little distressed.
The zombie that had been slain on the seventh floor had fallen to the side of the wall, still in the same way as when Dafei had placed it before. The speed when going downstairs was much faster than going upstairs, and it didn't take much time for Chen Bin and the others to come to the first floor. As they walked out of the staircase gate, they rushed towards the monkey's black SUV.
The monkey sitting in the car saw Chen Bin and others rushing out of the building, and quickly opened the front and rear doors, and Da Fei rushed into the car with an arrow step, pulling the co-pilot's door shut, and Chen Bin and Cao Shengli, who was holding Cai Ji, went to the back seat.
The monkey was about to start the car and return to the east gate of the community, Chen Bin asked him to wait a little longer, and told him about Grandma Luo mentioned by Cai Ji.
"So you really have to go and see," the monkey looked at Cai Ji and asked, "Little girl, where does Grandma Luo live?" ”
Cai Ji sat in the car, looked around, and after confirming the direction, he pointed to the front and said, "Oh, the front is a little far away, turn around, Grandma Luo's house is on the first floor, there is a big yard." ”
"Go and see what's going on, maybe someone is still there." Chen Bin was unwilling to give up any survivor in his heart, and it was really unexpected to find Cai Ji today. A little girl can survive alone for so long, and it also subverts some of her previous concepts, before that, Chen Bin's view of survivors is one in ten, and the probability of survival is the lowest.
The monkey started the car and drove the other four people in the direction that Cai Ji was pointing. The location monkey has a slight impression that it seems to be a middle-aged aunt's house. The monkey had never seen the aunt's husband, but remembered that in the yard on the first floor, there were a lot of flowers planted by the aunt.
The car came to a bend, and just as the front of the car turned, the monkey suddenly stopped the car.
The road leading to the gate of the community, the road is wider than other roads in the community, and there are several cars parked in front of them that look like they have been scrapped, and the figures of several zombies are shuttling between the cars.
Rows of iron railings on the side of the road enclose the courtyard of the residents on the first floor, and some residents have also installed a glass fence on the inside of the iron railing, which is sealed with waterproof materials, transforming the courtyard into a large house that does not affect the lighting.
Cai Ji said that Grandma Luo's house is here, and a path about half a meter wide has been stepped on the turf between the green belt and the yard, and the path connects the road outside and the small gate of the yard. Through the glass wall of the courtyard, you can see roughly what is going on inside.
There was no figure in it, and it seemed that Grandma Luo was not in this courtyard.
On both sides of the path there is a moon plant at intervals, and the branches and leaves have withered. Everyone did not rush to get out of the car, but stayed in the car to observe the surrounding situation first.
When the monkey drove away the zombies before, he didn't pass this way, but circled around the largest inner circle in the community, and after bringing the zombies to the other side of the community, he began to accelerate to get rid of them. In a short period of time, there will be no zombies on the way over, and the road leading to the gate of the community is difficult to say.
The monkey slowly drove the car up the green belt and parked outside the small gate in the yard. The car turned sideways, blocking the direction of the gate of the community.
"Lao Cao, you and the little girl stay in the car, and let's go down." The monkey said.
"Won't I go down?" Cai Ji asked.
"Well, I don't know if it's safe inside, so you stay in the car." Cai Ji is the first child Monkey has met in recent days, and Monkey doesn't want anything to happen to her.
"Xiaoji, you just stay in the car and wait for the uncles to rescue Grandma Luo for you." Chen Bin said to Cai Ji, and then went out of the car with Da Fei with his equipment.
The monkey came out of the cab and quietly touched the door of the yard, the body completely blocked his figure, and the zombies on the road in the distance did not notice the movement here.
"Uncle Cao, are those monsters?" Cai Ji pointed to the zombies in the distance outside the window and asked Cao Shengli, "Doesn't it seem scary?" ”
Isn't it scary? Cao Shengli's face was black, this little girl had never seen a cruel scene, if she had experienced it once or twice, I was afraid that she would not even dare to sleep at night.
Cai Ji climbed to the front passenger seat, leaned on the front windshield and looked at the zombies in the distance with interest. Looking over from here, Cao Shengli can only see the figure of the zombie clearly, and there is not much difference between ordinary people from a distance, and people who have not experienced life and death cannot understand its cruelty.
There was no air conditioning in the car, the temperature was relatively high, Cao Shengli was a little tired, and it took a lot of physical strength to carry Cai Ji and her mountaineering bag downstairs, but fortunately, only he had the best physical strength among these people, so Chen Bin asked him to carry Cai Ji downstairs.
The eyelids began to fight, Cao Shengli rubbed his eyes, and his eyes began to blur.
Cai Ji was stuffy in the car, already sweating from the heat, she wanted to press the window down, but unfortunately the window was locked. So the little girl climbed back into the back seat and lay there thinking about her thoughts.
The monkey tinkered with the keyhole on the door for a while and then opened the door lock, and after a small curved wire turned around in the palm of his hand, he didn't know where it was received.
As soon as the three of them opened the courtyard door, a heat wave rushed inside, and Chen Bin found that the temperature in the house was much higher than outside. It turned out that the sunlight penetrated through the glass wall and sprinkled on the ground, and the heat could not be dissipated, and it was concentrated in the house. Some of the things in the room were burned by the sun, and the few pots in the corners were full of dead plants, and the yellow branches and leaves fell into the pots, and the soil had become hard.
The door connecting the courtyard was locked, Chen Bin came to the door and knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. Chen Bin continued to knock, then put his ear to the door and listened carefully.
Slight noises began to come from the room, faint and inaudible, and would have been hard to spot if it weren't for the ears against the door.
Chen Bin continued to knock on the door for the third time, and the rhythm of the knocking was very gentle.
"Who?" A faint voice came from within.
