Chapter 23: Recuperate

Early the next morning, Jian Qiu got up early, and Liu Lifan was awake all the time because he was on duty in the middle of the night, and the two simply had some breakfast.

Because this courtyard has long been abandoned, not only are there no zombies inside, but the big iron gate of the courtyard is also locked well, and the zombies outside can't enter, so Liu Lifan and Jian Qiu only took their own weapons and swaggered over.

"Knock knock", Liu Lifan knocked on the sewer manhole cover with his machete.

"Reliable?"

"Then you can't go down to find out?" Jian Qiu clapped his hands, "Come on, lift it up first." ”

"Done." Liu Lifan agreed, half-squatted and stood next to the manhole cover, the index finger and middle finger of both hands were stuck into the two small holes of the manhole cover, and he lifted it up, but the manhole cover only rose a little and fell down with a "bang".

"I'll go, this thing is too heavy, how can I lift it with just a few fingers?" Liu Lifan blew his strangled fingers and complained.

"Hey, it's not a shame to lose it, you can't lift a manhole cover." Jian Qiu said with a disgusted expression.

"Why don't you come?" Hearing Jian Qiu say this, Liu Lifan was immediately unconvinced, and looked at her with his waist crossed.

"Oh, I'm a girl." Jian Qiu grimaced at Liu Lifan, looked around, ran to the corner, picked up half of the bent steel bar and handed it to Liu Lifan.

"Well, that's the only one, take out your breastfeeding energy."

"How much difference does this thing make or not?" Liu Lifan reluctantly took the rebar, stuck it into the small hole and tried it, grabbed the rebar with both hands and pulled it out.

Liu Lifan's strength is not small, plus he has exercised for two months before, and his strength is still quite good, with the borrowing of steel bars, Liu Lifan pulled it up with all his strength, turned it out, and the manhole cover was lifted with a "clang".

"Yes, you." Jian Qiu nodded with satisfaction.

"Whew! Call! Call! Liu Lifan threw away the steel bar in his hand, twisted his face and hurriedly blew his red hands, "It's a fart, this steel bar is full of patterns, pulling it out and rubbing it hurts me to death, my mother." ”

"Hahaha, old man, what are you afraid of?" Seeing that Liu Lifan's face was about to twist into a ball, Jian Qiu couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph, standing and talking doesn't hurt your back."

"Okay, okay, let's go down first, oh, you go first."

"For Mao I first, don't you understand that lady first?" Liu Lifan looked at Jian Qiu reluctantly.

"What ladies come first, shouldn't you take the lead at this time?"

"You know to take advantage of me." Liu Lifan stretched out his right hand and gave Jian Qiu a middle finger, "Okay, okay, I'll go first, okay, damn, it really stinks enough." ”

The sewer here is not deep, Liu Lifan fanned the stench in front of his nose, supported the ground with both hands, jumped in at once, stepped on the stinky water, and splashed his pants.

"Oh." Liu Lifan pinched his nose and pulled his pants, trying not to let it drag into the sewage.

"How's that, doesn't it stink?" Jian Qiu shouted from above.

"It's not smelly, it's fragrant, come on." Liu Lifan pinched his nose and beckoned to Jian Qiu.

"Bah, I believe you're a ghost, you're a bad old man. Get out of the way, Miss Ben is here. ”

Jian Qiu was about to jump down with his hands on the ground, but Liu Lifan hurriedly hid to the side, for fear that Jian Qiu would jump down and splash him with stinky water.

"Poof", sure enough, as soon as Jian Qiu came, the stinky water under his feet immediately splashed out, even if Liu Lifan withdrew several meters, he still inevitably suffered the fate of being splashed.

"Huh...... It stinks, which way to go? Jian Qiu also learned from Liu Lifan pinched his nose, looked at the passages on both sides, and asked him.

"How do I know, it's not a guess to go, let's go to the left first." Liu Lifan took out his machete, carved an arrow pointing to the left on the wall, and then waved his hand, "Let's go, explore the road first." ”

"Knock, knock, knock", there were water droplets constantly dripping on the side of the road, smashing into the stinky water to make a "knock" sound, Jian Qiu walked forward with Liu Lifan's arm, there was no light in the entire sewer, but fortunately, Liu Lifan was prepared, took out the flashlight from his pocket and turned it on, and there was finally a glimmer of light in the sewer.

"Do you think there will be a ...... here," Jian Qiu said softly, but in such an empty sewer, no matter how small the sound was, it could be amplified many times.

"Zombies?"

"No, no, I mean will there be, rat ......" Jian Qiu shrunk his neck.

"Poof!" Liu Lifan was so amused by Jian Qiu that he couldn't help but burst out laughing, "I've been watching zombies for so long, what kind of rat are you afraid of?" ”

"Cut, is a woman's nature good, I've been watching zombies for so long, but I haven't seen rats for so long." Jian Qiu pouted unhappily and retorted, but his hands still grabbed Liu Lifan tightly and was unwilling to let go.

Liu Lifan smiled and shook his head, "It's a fork in the road again, how to go?" ”

"It's still on the left, it's the same everywhere anyway."

"Okay, listen to you." Liu Lifan was not verbose, took out his machete and drew an arrow on the wall on the left, and dragged Jian Qiu towards the left.

In addition to the footsteps of Liu Lifan and the others in the sewer, it was the sound of water dripping down, the environment was terrifyingly quiet, and the two of them didn't dare to come out, walking forward while looking around the surrounding environment.

"Huh? You see. As he walked, Jian Qiu suddenly pointed above and said.

Liu Lifan looked over, and it turned out that there was a manhole cover on it.

"Go up and have a look?"

"Hmm...... You have to see it, otherwise you don't even know where you've gone. Jian Qiu nodded in agreement, "But be careful, don't open the manhole cover and drop a bunch of zombies." ”

Liu Lifan spread his hands, handed the flashlight in his hand to Jian Qiu, and climbed up the steel ladder lightly.

Liu Lifan tried it first, and felt that there were no zombies standing on the manhole cover, so he slowly pushed the manhole cover up more than ten centimeters slowly with both hands. It's not that he can't push it, but he doesn't dare, if he only pushes it like this, even if a zombie finds him, he can safely retreat as soon as possible, and if he pushes it away, it may not be.

Liu Lifan stretched his neck, looked out through a gap of a few centimeters, and the first thing he saw was the feet of a zombie, one of the ankles of the flesh was split in half, and hung softly in front of Liu Lifan.

"Oh my mother, it's disgusting...... Liu Lifan muttered in his heart, and then turned his head to look to the side.

"Isn't this a farmer's market?" Liu Lifan frowned, and the words "Agricultural Products Trade Center" hanging on several shops not far away came into his eyes, and the farmers' market at this time did not have the lively atmosphere of people coming and going in the past.

Liu Lifan only glanced at it a few times, then gently put down the manhole cover and retreated, after all, it is not so easy to hold a manhole cover of dozens of catties.

"How?" Jian Qiu asked expectantly.

Liu Lifan shook his head with a sad face, "This is the farmers' market, we went in the wrong direction, we should turn right at that intersection just now." ”

"Are there many zombies?" Jian Qiu pouted helplessly.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? There are as many as ants, and there is one next to the manhole cover, why don't you go and see it? Liu Lifan was speechless.

"you." Jian Qiu kicked Liu Lifan's calf, "Then what should I do, go back the same way?" ”

"If you kick me again, I'll be in a hurry with you!" Liu Lifan pretended to be angry and glared at Jian Qiu.

"Slightly, you hit me." Jian Qiu grimaced at Liu Lifan, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Liu Lifan rolled his eyes at Jian Qiu, obviously not wanting to continue the topic with such an unreasonable person, "Go back the way you came, go to the previous intersection and take a look on the right." ”

"I think we can draw with paper and pen, and we can't know exactly where we are, but we can always know which direction we're going, right?"

"yes, you're getting smarter." Liu Lifan touched Jian Qiu's head, "The left side to the farmers' market is exactly the opposite direction we want to go, so it will definitely be no problem for us to take the right road." ”

"That's true, but I don't think we'd better move forward, right? It's weird and scary, you said that if something really jumped out of nowhere, how did the two of us deal with it? ”

"Are you scared?" Liu Lifan looked at Jian Qiu with raised eyebrows.

"Who's afraid! I just think it's better to walk around like this, anyway, even if the two of us turn in the right direction, we still have to come back, so it's better for everyone to go together, and there is something to take care of. When Jian Qiu heard Liu Lifan's words, she felt as if she was saying that she was timid, and instantly retorted unhappily.

"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, anyway, the approximate direction is this road, and it's weird cold here, so let's go back first." Liu Lifan thought about it, what Jian Qiu said was not unreasonable, anyway, the two of them were also blind, and a group of people were also blind, so it was safer for everyone to walk together, so he pulled Jian Qiu and turned back.

At the same time as Liu Lifan and Jian Qiu turned to go back, in the sewer on the right, in a dark corner not far ahead, a hoarse and inaudible roar suddenly sounded, and at the same time, a few drops of green unknown liquid dripped from above......
