Chapter 1: Zombie Crisis
"It's always cloudy, it's always sunny, nightmares always wake up, if it's all a nightmare, it's time to end it now!"
Facing the dark red curtain, Chen Dong's hand grabbed the curtain and wanted to open it, but he took a deep breath first, and a faint fishy smell penetrated into his lungs with Chen Dong's deep breathing, and the depression in his heart was not relieved, but became heavier.
"Whew!"
The curtain was pulled open by Chen Dong, and it was not the warm sunshine that he hoped for.
Outside the window, only a dim light barely shone in. The sky outside was still as gloomy as it had been four days ago, with thick clouds squeezing in, and there was no ray of sunlight, and the depressed people felt uncomfortable even gasping for breath.
Around the downstairs where Chen Dong was, there were several figures in tattered clothes swaying back and forth, it seemed that the sound of Chen Dong pulling the curtains attracted them, and the five people close to the downstairs suddenly stopped their aimless steps and looked up at Chen Dong who was standing behind the window on the second floor.
"Whew!"
The people downstairs opened their big mouths and roared, their white eyes seemed to be greedy and ferocious, and they looked at Chen Dong together.
The white eyes, the wide open mouth, the blue-black skin color of the dead man, and the shocking wounds on the body, these people, still the same as what Chen Dong saw four days ago, everything has not changed significantly, the only thing that has changed is that there seem to be a few more people wandering downstairs.
Chen Dong looked at the five people downstairs, one of the middle-aged men had minced meat hanging from the corner of his mouth, and there were dry blood stains on his face.
This man Chen Dong knows, no, it can't be said to be an acquaintance, it can only be said that Chen Dong still remembers him, at least when this man was alive, there was no communication between Chen Dong and him. It wasn't until four days ago, when this earth-shaking change occurred, that Chen Dong began to notice this man.
Four days ago in the morning, Chen Dong just woke up, habitually got out of bed and opened the curtains first, just the moment he opened the curtains, he saw with his own eyes that under the gloomy sky, this man threw a child with a schoolbag to the ground, and bit the child's neck, the child's blood sprayed a piece, but attracted more crazy people to compete for food......
As the roaring downstairs became more and more intense, Chen Dong suddenly came back to his senses, as if attracted by the roars of the five people downstairs, more and more people gathered downstairs. Looking at the man's mouth that was trying to open wide, Chen Dong's stomach was still churning with nothing, as if even if there was a distance of another floor through the window, Chen Dong could smell the stench in their open mouths.
"Why didn't I become a zombie? Becoming a zombie should be dead, right? If I die, I don't have to be afraid, I don't have to wait for death in such pain......" After staring carefully at the face of the man downstairs for half a minute, Chen Dong muttered as if complaining.
"Some people are alive, he is dead, some people are dead, he is still alive, hehe, that's right, although the zombies are dead, they at least have a pursuit, they can still run up and bite people, and they still want to gnaw on the flesh of my big living person, and me? A big living person wants to die, and the real girl is not alive yet, and the zombies have no pursuit! Chen Dong said self-deprecatingly, and actually smiled.
Living in the dark world of zombies, Chen Dong couldn't see hope, and after four days of looking at the zombies walking downstairs, Chen Dong's mentality had reached the verge of collapse. By teasing himself and trying to adjust his mentality, Chen Dong tried to do so, otherwise he was really afraid that he would lose control of his emotions before he was bitten to death by zombies.
The zombies downstairs have a tendency to gather more and more, and Chen Dong is a little afraid to look at it anymore, he is afraid that more zombies will be attracted. Pulling back the curtain with his backhand, Chen Dong sat on the edge of the bed with some weakness, touching his stomach with both hands.
It may be because he had been observing the zombie's face for too long just now, and Chen Dong's stomach was still a little nauseous churning. The stomach was tumbling, but the hunger was burning like fire, and the two somewhat contradictory feelings were mixed together, but it was still the strong hunger that prevailed.
Rubbing his stomach, Chen Dong picked up a piece of chocolate on the bedside table, bit open the package with his teeth, and stuffed the chocolate into his mouth.
The thick chocolate flavor filled his mouth, the strong sweetness stimulated the taste buds, and the hunger in his stomach seemed to grow a hook at this moment, connecting the root of Chen Dong's tongue, urging him to chew and swallow. Chen Dongqiang held back his teeth and didn't chew, put the chocolate in his mouth, and his upper body lay directly on the bed, waiting for the chocolate in his mouth to melt slowly, and then mixed with saliva and swallowed slowly.
Chen Dong doesn't like snacks very much, especially don't like greasy and sweet things, snacks for Chen Dong are generally lazy when cooking, and only used to deal with two mouthfuls of things to satisfy hunger, but at this moment, Chen Dong is slowly enjoying the taste of chocolate. Because chocolate is extremely high in calories, chocolate can ensure the body's most basic energy needs when there is nothing to eat.
Four days ago, a sudden catastrophe swept through the entire city of Jinxiang. It was early in the morning, Chen Dong was still sleeping, and a rumbling sound, accompanied by not much strong vibration, woke Chen Dong up.
Chen Dong has long been accustomed to this kind of vibration sound, because he knows too well the location of the house he bought.
The house Chen Dong bought is an ordinary community house, located on the outskirts of the city, not far from the south of the community is a train track. Jinxiang City has developed rapidly in recent years, and the housing prices in the city are expensive, don't look at the location of Chen Dong's house in the community, but for Chen Dong's economic level of workers, he can buy a suite on the outskirts of the city, although it is only 90 square meters, but it is also very good.
On the train track, which is not far from the south of the community, there will be trains passing by on the hour, day or night, and the rumbling sound is tireless. At the beginning, because there was a train passing by late at night, Chen Dong often couldn't sleep, but after staying for a long time, Chen Dong slowly became numb to this.
Four days ago, in the early morning, Chen Dong was awakened by the sound of a train passing by, and opened the curtains to look out the window, and what caught his eyes was a post-apocalyptic scene like a hellish world. In the early morning of that day, the community, which originally seemed quiet and peaceful on the surface, suddenly broke out a serious riot, and many people walking downstairs were like crazy thugs, recklessly attacking normal people running around.
Those who fled screamed in horror, but in the end they were all pushed to the ground by the pursuers, who frantically tore at their bodies, and terrible screams rang out in patches, and flesh flew and stained the ground red.
At that time, Chen Dong saw this kind of picture and was stunned in place, unable to return to his senses for a long time.
After a long time, the community finally returned to quiet, but that eerie silence was a dead silence without the slightest anger! Chen Dong didn't dare to go downstairs, because downstairs, the group of crazy people were still wandering, although they were not as fierce as when chasing normal people, but they were still walking slowly all the time, as if they were searching for prey, waiting for an opportunity.
After a period of time to come back to his senses, Chen Dong immediately dialed his family's phone, but there was a busy signal on the other end of the phone, and no one answered. Chen Dong repeatedly dialed the number of his family over and over again, and after I don't know how many times he dialed, Chen Dong still did not get a response, and finally, Chen Dong put down his mobile phone, walked to the computer desk, and collapsed on the chair like a dead man.
After sitting blankly for twenty minutes, Chen Dong sat up, turned on the computer, and the news announced by the earthquake network immediately popped up in the lower right corner of the screen. At about 8:12 in the morning, a magnitude 4 earthquake was detected in Jinxiang City, but the epicenter was not in Jinxiang City, but in Huaishui County, a city away from Jinxiang City.
Jinxiang City, which is far away from Huaishui County, has such an obvious earthquake, and the earthquake level of Huaishui County is self-evident. Seeing the news of the earthquake network, Chen Dong remembered that when he was woken up by the sound of shaking and rumbling in the morning, he mistakenly thought it was the sound of a train passing by, and now it corresponds to the time when the earthquake occurred, which was simply the time when the earthquake occurred.
It's not uncommon for an earthquake to feel the tremor, but is the sound of an earthquake really as loud as a train passing by?
Chen Dong opened the local regional forum in Jinxiang City and found that the local forum was like an explosion, and countless posts were constantly refreshed, with titles such as crying that the end is coming, zombies cannibalizing people, and a series of words. Chen Dong saw the scene of cannibalism with his own eyes, and he actually had this kind of speculation in his heart, but when he saw these words, his heartstrings were still constantly impacted.
Chen Dong browsed several large forums and found that the content of the post covered all major regions, and there were people posting in almost every province and city, describing the situation basically the same as what happened in Jinxiang City, and even in the areas where many other cities are located, there was also an earthquake like Jinxiang City, but the level was unknown, and the scene that appeared downstairs in Chen Dong was constantly repeated in major regions.
The people around suddenly turned into zombies without warning, no one knows what the reason is, the zombies broke out so suddenly, and the zombies are still attacking normal people, and the whole world becomes crazy on the same day.
Chen Dong refreshed the pages of major forums over and over again, hoping to see these posts disappear and someone can stand up to refute the rumors. But what Chen Dong hoped for did not happen, until a day later, the network was paralyzed, and after another half a day, Chen Dong's computer was completely disconnected.
The disaster covers a large area, and in the face of the crazy attack of zombies, most people will be trapped and take care of themselves, and the network mechanism may be unmanaged, and it will soon be broken, which is expected by Chen Dong, but Chen Dong did not expect it to come so quickly.
The network was cut off, calls to anyone familiar with him were not answered, and Chen Dong could no longer receive any news from the outside world. Chen Dong knew that in this case, the radio was the best magic weapon to receive external signals, but young people of Chen Dong's age had never fiddled with that outdated thing at all when they became adults, and there was no such antique as a radio in the newly bought house.
Fortunately, Chen Dong still has a mobile phone, and the mobile phone also has the function of a radio, since he bought the mobile phone, Chen Dong has never turned on this function. After turning on the radio on his mobile phone, Chen Dong kept changing the channel, but there was only the sound of electromagnetic waves, and there was no clear signal at all.
Chen Dong finally had to believe that the catastrophe was completely comprehensive, although he did not log on to foreign websites, but there were also people who claimed to be overseas on the forum, and the situation overseas was exactly the same as what happened inland, Chen Dong could imagine that this disaster could have happened on a global scale.
The age of zombies has really come......
