Chapter 31: On Fire

On the fifth floor, in the house where Chen Dong and Jiang Xiaonuo temporarily lived, Chen Dong and Ye Chen sat around the sofa in the living room.

"Are you alright?" Chen Dong looked at Ye Chen, whose body was still shaking at a certain frequency, and asked.

"It's okay! I can't hear well with my ears, so I can't die! Damn, that zombie is really shitty! Crawling on the wall without saying anything, the screaming sound is like a fucking ghost crying! I was so shocked that my brain is still bubbling! Ye Chen said loudly, probably because his ears couldn't hear clearly, he spoke very loudly.

"Okay, it's okay, you don't have to speak so loudly, I can hear clearly, you can continue to talk about the situation over there." Chen Dong picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, handed one to Ye Chen, and took out one himself to light it before asking: "You just said that there are zombies downstairs in your No. 13 building?" ”

Ye Chen nodded, took a sip, and said, "It's all zombies!" Gotta forty or fifty! This is still what is left after some zombies go out over the wall! ”

"Over the wall?" Chen Dong asked uncertainly: "Will zombies climb over the wall?" ”

"Zombies won't climb over the wall, but those players won't want to rush forward." Ye Chen shook his head, and while picking his ears with his little thumb, he said: "If you can live until now, you must have seen the scene of zombies chasing people, that thing chasing people is not dead, it is simply not dying!" You heard the voice outside a few days ago, I have never heard that voice before, it's like, it's like ......" Ye Chen said and suddenly paused, as if he couldn't find a suitable metaphor.

"The ship's whistle?" Chen Dong answered at the right time.

"That's right! Right! Ye Chen nodded approvingly: "That sound is similar to the sound of a ship's whistle, as soon as the zombies downstairs hear that sound, it's like a fucking aphrodisiac, and they run fiercer than when they chase the living!" As soon as that voice sounded, the zombies in the community ran in droves towards us, and then there were more and more zombies gathered on our side! ”

Ye Chen took a puff of cigarette and slowed down before continuing: "My family lives in Building 13, which is one of the southernmost rows of the community, and behind the downstairs is the fence of the community. The fence was not very high, and the zombies were piled up one by one under the fence, and the zombies behind them all climbed out when they stepped on the zombie pile! ”

"What the hell is that sound that attracts zombies so much?" Chen Dong was puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help muttering, "What is the ......purpose of that voice attracting zombies?"

"What did you say?" Ye Chen picked his ears and said, "You are louder, I can't hear clearly." ”

"It's fine." Chen Dong shook his head, thought about it, and still asked, "Downstairs, it's the one who drives, he's ...... Is it your friend? ”

After the small cross-country downstairs hit the wall, Ye Chen ran out, but the driver in the driving did not move at all from beginning to end, after Chen Dong pulled Ye Chen up, Ye Chen lay on the ground and rested for half an hour, during this period, Chen Dong looked downstairs, he saw that the door glass of the cab had been knocked open by zombies, and there were zombies that had already gotten in, and the driver must have killed the zombies.

"You said the one who drove downstairs and escaped with me?" Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, he and I are just a unit, and I didn't know each other before." I am not relieved to go to Feng'an County's hometown, I have been thinking about going home, a few days ago with him, he said that I want to go with ......"

"Wait, you said your hometown is from Feng'an County? Where is Feng'an County? Chen Dong interrupted Ye Chen's words and asked.

"My home is in Feng'an County, what's wrong?" Ye Chen asked rhetorically.

"I'm rubbing, we're fellow villagers, I'm from the "Dabian Town" in Feng'an County, not far from the county seat. Chen Dong said excitedly: "Have you talked to your family on the phone?" What is the situation in Feng'an County? ”

"It's all the same, Feng'an County is also full of zombies." Ye Chen's face became ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "When there was still a signal more than ten days ago, I called my family, my mother and my brother are fine, my brother is not at home, he is in another county town, after the zombie outbreak, he drove all the way to his hometown in the county, wanting to go home to pick up his wife, and then go to Dabian Town to evacuate with a large number of organized survivors there." The survivor organization of Dabian Town said that they wanted to enter the sparsely populated mountain forest behind Dabian Town, avoiding the places where the outside population gathered, so as to avoid the sudden outbreak of the zombie crisis. My last phone call with my brother, he said he was stuck in traffic into town, near a chemical plant, and then the signal was gone and there was no contact. ”

"There is a group of organized survivors in Big Border Town? Are they going to evacuate to the mountains and forests behind the town? Chen Dong's heart fluctuated, and he was extremely excited, and asked, "My home is in the town, what is the situation there?" Who organized the survivors there? Could it be that the state organizes rescues? ”

"I don't know." Ye Chen shook his head and said, "My brother didn't tell me about the specific situation in Dabian Town, and he actually didn't know, when he told me that he was going to take my wife to Dabian Town, it was already five days after the zombie outbreak, and he also met other survivors on the way, and then he got the news." ”

"This ...... All right. Chen Dong could only nod, although Ye Chen couldn't say it clearly, but it was obviously good news, there was a survivor organization in his hometown of Dabian Town, and his parents might also be in the evacuation organization. On the bright side, the survivors must have been panicked and nervous when they organized the evacuation, and their parents may not be able to receive their calls and cut off contact with themselves due to some unexpected reasons.

"Chen Dong, thank you for saving me, since we are fellow villagers, I won't see you anymore, my brother doesn't know what the situation is, and my mother doesn't know if it's still in the county, I have to go back and see." Ye Chen said: "Your hometown is also in Feng'an County, is there anyone in your family?" Don't you want to go back? ”

"Go back? I don't want to go home, my parents are at home, I'm definitely going back too. Chen Dong said: "Let's tell you the truth, I tried to escape once, and the car that blocked your way was thrown by me, otherwise you should be able to run out." I didn't succeed in escaping last time, and I was surrounded by a group of zombies, and I almost didn't die! Look at the scar on my face, this is scratched by zombies. ”

"What? Have you ever been scratched by a zombie? Ye Chen was shocked, Chen Dongheng's car on the road caused them to fail to escape was directly ignored by him, he moved his butt back, a little away from Chen Dong, and then asked, "Why aren't you infected?" By the way, what's going on with your eyes, how are they red, they won't be ......"

"The infection of the fart, my eyes did turn red after being caught by the zombies, can't I see things clearly?" Chen Dong sneered and said, "Who did you listen to say that if you are caught by zombies, you will be infected?" Lao Tzu is fateful, and he was not scratched to death by zombies! ”

"Ah, if you get caught, you won't get infected?" Ye Chen's face was full of surprise, and then asked, "Then you...... After the injury is healed, do you feel anything different, such as...... A bit of a superpower or something? ”

"What a mess! Ha ha! Dude, you're you! Chen Dong laughed and said, "How could you think of such a mess. ”

"This ...... Could it be that the bigwigs of the zombie bar are not right? Ye Chen scratched his head and said, "No, the opinions of the bigwigs there shouldn't be wrong." ”

"Zombies, what's that? Paste it? Chen Dong asked.

"yes, haven't you ever shopped for zombies?" Ye Chen glanced at Chen Dong with disdain, and said, "No, the bigwigs there have first-class theories, they speak super well, and they will be chattering~~ You haven't even visited the zombie bar, and it's a miracle to be able to survive in the zombie chaos until now......"

"Uh~ this ......" Chen Dong was speechless for a moment.

"Chen Dong, can you eat first? I am hungry. On the side, Jiang Xiaonuo, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly asked cautiously, and his voice was a little embarrassed.

Chen Dong turned his head to look out the window, and the sky outside was getting dark.

"It's time to eat."

…………

It was dark, and a wok was placed on the floor tile of the living room, the pot was filled with cooking oil, and a cotton cloth was rolled into a large wick in the pan, and the vigorous flames were swaying up and down. Next to the wok, Chen Dong spread the cushions on the sofa on the ground, and the three of them sat directly around the burning oil pot.

Above the flame of the wok, Ye Chen held a wok with one hand and put it on it, adding water to the pot and boiling a pot of fried meat, fungus, mushrooms and other simple dry ingredients.

"It's so fucking fragrant, it's been a long time since I've smelled stew!" Ye Chen was very excited, picked up the spoon with his other hand and flipped over the dish, and said, "Okay, turn off the heat, it's ready to come out of the pot!" ”

"Done!" Chen Dong also smelled drool, and immediately picked up the lid of the pot on the ground next to him, and covered it on the simmering oil pot, and the flame was immediately extinguished.

A pot of food was packed into three bowls, and each of the three people held a bowl to eat. The dishes are not salty, and the salt is deliberately put less when cooking, after all, there are no staple foods such as steamed bread and rice to fill the stomach, so you can only eat more vegetables instead of staple foods.

"Ye Chen, you're definitely going to Feng'an County, right?" Chen Dong looked at Ye Chen, who was holding a bowl and swallowing heavily, and asked, it seems that since the outbreak of zombies, Ye Chen must not have eaten a few full meals.

"Gotta go back! My mother is still at home, how can I not go back? Ye Chen swallowed a large mouthful of fungus stew and said.

"I'm going back too, the two of us can work together, but how can we go back, we can't run on our legs without a car, right?" Chen Dong then asked.

"I don't know." Ye Chen was silent for a while and said: "I don't have a car, and I can't drive it, otherwise I wouldn't go with Liu Bing, to tell you the truth, Liu Bing's mind is a little abnormal!" Here, right here! Ye Chen pointed at the top of his head with chopsticks and said, "On his skull, there is a scar, which should be a scar left by surgery!" After the zombie outbreak, I lived in the same unit with him for almost a month, and he would go crazy from time to time. The first time I met him, it was in the staircase of our unit, and he didn't know where to get a brick, and he fought with zombies hard, and he was stunned to shoot two zombies to death! It's worse than a zombie to fight, and I feel scared when I look at it! ”

"Although Liu Bing is a little nervous, but he is really good, I have only been with that guy for more than 20 days, I can feel that he is a tendonous person, and he is very good to me, of course, it is also possible that he is not in good spirits, so he will have such a character." Ye Chen slowed down and said, "Brother, you also saw the situation downstairs at that time, it's not that I didn't want to save him, but I couldn't save him at that time, and if I delay it for a while, I can only finish playing with him." ”

Chen Dong nodded and didn't answer again, although the direct cause of Liu Bing's death was the female zombie who climbed the wall, but in the final analysis, it was because of the car he parked in the middle of the road, if the road was clear at that time, maybe they would have escaped at that time. Since Ye Chen was reluctant to mention this stubble and was unwilling to explain it thoroughly, it must be because of Chen Dong, and Chen Dong naturally didn't want to continue this topic.

In fact, Chen Dong is not to blame for Liu Bing's death, the development of things is inherently random, and any change may cause a series of chain reactions, which is also the so-called butterfly effect. If something happens because of some details, you have to blame someone, you can't really talk about it, if you want to blame, blame yourself for your bad luck.

"Lao Ye, look at your body is very strong, and killing zombies downstairs is also very fierce, knock it down, clean and neat, have you practiced?" It's always a little awkward to sit together and not talk, and Chen Dong talked about it, which can be regarded as changing the topic.

"I don't kill zombies one or two, when I was in Building 13, Liu Bing and I also took advantage of the lack of zombies downstairs to break into other units to find food, the geological hammer I used collected at least six or seven zombies, but unfortunately, I used that geological hammer to give the head of the wall climber, and the tip of the hammer was embedded in its head and could not be pulled out." Ye Chen continued: "As for martial arts, I practiced a little earlier, but it was all fur, and then I concentrated on fitness and taught ...... in a gym in Jinxiang City."

"Bang dang!"

Outside, the sound of violent collision sounded, Ye Chen was startled, but Chen Dong waved his hand, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "You eat first, Xu Chunlei is calling me again, I'll go see what's going on!" ”

Walking to the balcony and opening the window, Chen Dong glanced at the opposite downstairs, a cabinet fell to the ground, and on the ground downstairs, a bunch of furniture and electrical appliances such as washing machines and computers were broken and scattered.

"What's wrong again?" Chen Dong shouted loudly.

", Chen Dong, can you open the window, don't be so bad, every time you are called, you have to throw something, I have nothing left at home, next time I throw it, I can't throw myself?" Xu Chunlei complained in a loud voice.

"Don't be idle, what's the matter? Am I eating? "In the past few days, since there is no smell outside, Xu Chunlei will call himself when he has nothing to do, and every time he shouts no, a piece of furniture or electrical appliances in his house will be scrapped.

"You eat well, I don't have much to eat at home, I'm hungry these days, I'm weak, and I've slept all day today." Xu Chunlei said in a snortful voice: "Okay, have you seen the south side of the community?" It seems to be on fire over there, so it can't be the rescue team, right? ”

"What?" Hearing this, Chen Dong raised his head and looked into the distance.

Chen Dong was on the fifth floor, and the building opposite blocked his view, and he couldn't see what Xu Chunlei said was on fire.

Behind him, Ye Chen slowly walked over and said, "On fire?" Burning zombies, did Lao Cui really do it? ”
