Chapter 17: Unreliable Neighbors
Chapter 17:
As soon as Zhang Hongwei's words fell, Zhang Liang was anxious when he heard it, he survived two days ago, and now he is looking for something to eat? Isn't there one at home for Li Jie?
But he never considered the food in Li Jie's house, it didn't belong to him.
In desperation, he shouted: "I want to go to you!" I'm not going! Whoever loves to go, who goes! ”
When Li Jie heard this, he didn't bother to pay attention to this kid, so he didn't hear it and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, all the people who decided to look for food gathered inside 1604. Originally, these were planned to go to Li Jie's house, but Li Jie directly refused.
Li Jie and his father Li Jianguo, the man from household 1602, Zhang Hongwei and Wang Kai from 1604, Zhang Liang still didn't come. Zhang Hongwei's face is not very good-looking. After all, the son who has been raised for so many years is shrinking behind Lao Tzu at the critical moment, expecting a 50-year-old father to take risks to find food and shrink in the house by himself, which is indeed a little chilling, but who makes this product his own seed? Zhang Hongwei had to grit his teeth and swallow this bitter fruit.
Li Jie looked at these people, basically empty-handed, and said: "It's fate that everyone gathers here, now go to find food, water, and supplies needed." For example, mobile phones with electricity, batteries, power banks, these can allow us to contact the outside world once the country starts to rescue, in addition, some mobile phones can also receive broadcast signals, so pay attention to collect! Li Jie said this, looked around at everyone, saw that everyone had no objections, and continued: "Again, now the infected will attack people, and these people seem to be irrational!" Like wild beasts, you know what happens when you are attacked these days! Hearing this, although Li Jie and his father saw it upstairs, there was no manager after all. And the man of 1602 has been at home all the time. Only Zhang Hongwei and Wang Kai couldn't help but shudder when they thought of their experiences when they fled.
Li Jie paused and continued: "So, wear a mask to prevent getting infected!" If not, I'll send it to you later! It's useless or not, ask for peace of mind! Again, take some weapons, and if you open the door, you can at least fight back! ”
When Wang Kai heard this, he subconsciously said, "What if someone dies?" ”
Li Jie listened, and was silent for a while, and then said: "I can't care so much!" There are more people who have been bitten to death or even eaten these days, and if we don't resist, it will be a dead end! As for the rest, let's talk about it later! We can't starve to death! ”
Hearing this, the others nodded subconsciously. In times of crisis, people think about the security of the present, as for what to do in the future? If you die, what will be the future?
Having said that, the weapons prepared by several people were table legs, rolling pins, and the man from 1602 went home and got a baseball bat! No one has a lethal weapon like a kitchen knife. Li Jianguo was holding a rolling pin, while Li Jie was holding a pistol drill in his hand, and a hammer, a few screwdrivers and pliers were stuck in his waist, which were used for unlocking!
Close the door of the house, let the others wait at home, and open the door to save people when the situation is not good. Then Li Jie decided to open 1601 households first!
Thinking that Wang Kai was quite reliable, he said to Wang Kai: "Wang Kai, you go and guard the fire door!" ”
Two fire doors, one is next to the 1601 household, no need to guard, you can see it when you look up, the other fire door is a little farther away, you can't see it here in 1601, it belongs to the blind spot, in case everyone is busy, the infected person breaks through the fire door, this is dead!
Everything is ready, settle down, Li Jie gently knocks on the door of 1601!
"Knock knock!"
No one answered! Li Jie asked softly, "Is there anyone at home?" I'm the owner of 1605 next door! No one answered.
Li Jie looked at his father, Li Jianguo nodded, and said, "Open!" ”
Li Jie grabbed the doorknob with both hands and pulled it to the side, causing the doorknob to deform, revealing the keyhole.
Li Jie turned on the electric drill and aimed the drill at the lock cylinder, the drill bit came into contact with the metal lock cylinder, and a harsh sound occurred! Li Jie was so frightened that he slammed it, everyone broke out in a cold sweat, holding their breath and concentrating, for a long time, there was no movement!
Li Jie gritted his teeth and wanted to open the door, but if he smashed it, it would be louder! Go on!
The piercing sound of the electric drill reverberated in the elevator hall on the 16th floor, and everyone was afraid of the infected rushing over!
Finally, the electric drill drilled the gap between the lock cylinder and the lock body, revealing the marbles and the lock snake, stretched out the screwdriver, and flicked it!
Li Jie signaled to everyone behind him, and everyone raised the baseball bat rolling pin in their hands, waited for it, and slowly pushed the door open......
"Squeak~" sounded, and the door opened!
Li Jie quickly retreated, and several people next to him took a step back in fright at the same time!
There is nothing behind the door.
Li Jianguo grabbed Li Jie, who was about to rush in, shook his head slowly, and motioned for Li Jie to wait. Li Jie reacted, who knows if there is an infected person in the bedroom, in case he suddenly pounces......
Luckily, it's safe inside! The owner should not have been back for a while, there was no food in the house, only 2 cans of beer in the fridge, 5 bottles of 550ml mineral water. Nothing else!
Everyone was a little disappointed, but it was better than nothing.
Li Jie focused on searching for the power bank, but unfortunately there was no, the owner of this household should not have officially moved in, and there was not even a single piece of clothing in the wardrobe.
Leaving this household and coming to 1603, with a long breath, Li Jie squatted down and turned on the electric drill. A piercing voice sounded! In the electric drill just inserted into the lock body ~~
"Bang !!"
"Roaring !!!"
Suddenly, an infected person slammed into the locked fire door!
With a loud "bang", the fire door shook violently! Then, an angry roar came! Immediately after, countless footsteps rang out! The roars came and went, resounding through the corridors!
Infected person!
Everyone was shocked!
Wang Kai shouted: "An infected person is coming!" Immediately, run to their shelter 1604!
The man in 1602 also subconsciously ran to his home, threw down the baseball bat in his hand, and slammed the door frantically, and the people in the house also quickly opened the door, and then slammed it shut!
Zhang Hongwei turned around and ran to 1604! Beat the door frantically with Wang Kai, but no one opened the door for a long time!
Zhang Liang has been observing from the cat's eye, and after hearing the infected person hit the fire door, he ran to the bedroom screaming with Sun Feifei, who was shaking, and the two of them were stubbornly against the bedroom door, lest the infected person rush into the room and find him in the bedroom! As for the life and death of Zhang Hongwei and Wang Kai outside the door, they have been forgotten by the two of them at this moment!
Li Jianguo was also taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to pull Li Jie back. The door of 1605 also opened, and Zeng Aiguo leaned out and shouted, "Come back!" ”
Li Jie is unwilling to go back like this at the moment, he understands that he is not so dangerous at the moment!
The original intention of the fire door design is that after the fire, people rush to the stairs from the interior, so it is opened in the direction of the stairs, and pushed inward from the direction of the stairs, without destroying the lotus leaves and door frames, it is impossible to push open! The main thing is to prevent being pulled apart! Therefore, if you want to use your flesh and blood to forcibly break open the steel fire door, it is impossible for a normal person to do it! And the crazy inved, no matter how crazy they are, they are only flesh and blood! It's safe for a short time!
Tie Qing's face was blue, Li Jie was ruthless, suppressed the tension in his heart, ignored the situation behind him, and continued to open the door!
The door is open!
Li Jie breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Li Jianguo: "Dad! Hurry inside, don't talk, keep quiet! After saying that, a dodge rushed into the house, holding an electric drill in one hand and pulling out a hammer on his waist with the other, clinging to the wall and moving indoors!
Zhang Hongwei and Wang Kai knocked the door, but no one opened the door, and the two saw that the door of 1603 was opened, and hurriedly ran back!
When Li Jianguo saw his son enter, he immediately followed, Zhang Hongwei and Wang Kai followed, and several people slammed the door shut, not at ease, so they hurriedly moved the single sofa indoors behind the door!
That's a sigh of relief!
The four of them stood against the sofa behind the door, slumped on the ground, panting, Li Jie said to Li Jianguo: "Dad, it's okay, it's okay!" They won't be able to open the fire doors for a while! Let's keep quiet, they should be gone in a moment! ”
After speaking, for fear that there were other people or infected people in the house, Li Jie hurriedly looked at the situation of this household. As far as the living room is concerned, this home, like the previous one, has no traces of occupancy at all.
After a few hours, it was already dark, and the sound of banging at the door gradually subsided, and the roaring gradually faded.
After a while, the entire stairwell finally fell silent, and the infected dispersed unwillingly in the anger that they had found nothing!
Li Jie has inspected this household in detail, but unfortunately, there is nothing valuable at home.
The night of the end of the day is also extraordinarily deep. The moon was obscured by the AX winter haze, and the lights of the buildings in the city had all been extinguished. The occasional siren of a car can be heard on the street.
After listening for a while, it was indeed quiet outside the door, and Li Jie was about to open the door to leave, when suddenly, there was a knock on the door!
Li Jie stood up and looked at the cat's eye to see the man from 1602 standing outside the door, looking anxious!
Li Jie pulled open the single sofa against the door, and the broken door immediately opened by itself, and the man from 1602 immediately rushed in!
He asked the crowd, "How?" Do you have anything to eat? ”
As he spoke, his eyes swept toward the hands of the crowd to see who had taken the food and drink.
"Nothing! This household is not occupied! Li Jie shook his head and said.
The man in 1602 widened his eyes and looked at the others, who were silent in the dim light. Finally, Li Jie broke the silence: "Okay, there is no harvest today, let's disperse first!" ”
"No way!" The man in 1602 refused at the moment, and continued: "I've been helping you find something this afternoon, I don't have anything to eat at home, you have to divide your family's food with me again!" ”
Zhang Weihong didn't say anything when she heard this, and turned her head to see Li Jie's reaction. Didn't find anything to eat, that's a fact. He only found a few bottles of water, and he really hoped that Li Jie could give them some more food.
Li Jianguo was furious after hearing this, he had already distributed food and drink to these people before, and said that he would find food and drink together, but at this moment he still wanted to take away his family's rations, so he was angry, stood up suddenly, picked up the rolling pin in his hand and hit it with a stick!
The man didn't expect Li Jianguo, who had always been calm, to come like this, so he rolled on the ground in fright, and lay on the ground in embarrassment, and his head hit the leg of the coffee table with a "bang"!
Li Jianguo's stick missed, hit the back of the sofa hard, and he was still unwilling, and knocked down on the man's shoulder with another stick!
