Chapter 9 Born in sorrow, died in peace.
Chen Dong's purpose is mainly to find food, he consumes a lot of physical strength, and now he feels a little hungry, he has been starving for four days, and it is impossible to make up for all the steamed bread and cauliflower. There are a lot of things in the refrigerator, although the vegetables are not fresh, but they are not rotten, and there are rice, noodles, and cooking oil in the kitchen, which can just make up for the cooking oil that Chen Dong poured out.
After trip, Chen Dong moved everything he found that could be eaten and used back to his home. In the living room of the opposite resident, Chen Dong saw a family photo hanging on the wall, on which was an old lady when she was young, a Sven man with eyes standing with her, in front of the two, a man, a woman and two children, a family of four laughing happily.
used to be a family of four, I don't know how many people are still alive now, Chen Dong sighed for a while, maybe because of work, he never saw the opposite side open the door when he went out, so he never knew the old lady who lived opposite.
The old lady should live alone, Chen Dong found it when he was searching for food, there was only one bedroom in the opposite house with a bed made up, and there was only the old lady's own clothes in the closet, obviously only she lived by herself.
After moving all the food back to the house, Chen Dong took out a pair of cotton gloves from the old lady's closet and put them on his hands. Then, Chen Dong went up the stairs and dragged the corpse of the old lady's zombie to her bedroom, covering her with the quilt on the bed.
"You are always leaving, I know that you always want to go home, so I will send you back, and the place where you offend is also a last resort! I'm sorry for you! ”
Standing at the door of the bedroom, Chen Dong chattered to the gods on the ground for a while, then closed the bedroom door and left the old lady's house.
The simple collection of the corpse for the old man is to express respect, of course, Chen Dong also thanked others from the bottom of his heart, after all, he took the things from other people's homes. Do your best to let the family have a good ending, Chen Dong can feel more comfortable, besides, the corpse of the zombie is on the stairs downstairs, and Chen Dong doesn't want to open the door every day and face a corpse.
Back at home, Chen Dong looked at the food that had just been moved on the ground, there were a lot of things, half a bag of rice, more than half a bag of noodles, more than a pound of eggs, two pounds of dried noodles, seven celery, one cauliflower, two catties of frozen meat, and one pig's knuckle......
The elderly, as long as they are not rich and expensive, are generally thrifty and accustomed to buying cheap dishes, and as for meat and meat, the old people are generally reluctant to eat, and they are waiting until their children come, and then they will make the best things for them to eat, but now, people's living standards have generally improved, and young people are pursuing the so-called green life, eating vegetables smeared with various additives every day, feeling that they are living a very healthy life, and they disdain meat.
I glanced up at the watch on the TV stand, and it was already half past three. It was ten o'clock when he went out, and he tossed for half a day to kill two zombies, looking at the food in one place, Chen Dong felt that his hunger was getting stronger and stronger.
In addition to rice, flour and oil, Chen Dong stuffed all the food into the refrigerator, and then, Chen Dong took a pound of frozen meat and put it outside to melt the ice, and boiled a pot of boiling water to prepare porridge.
The celery was not washed, and it was cut directly on the board, not that Chen Dong did not pay attention to hygiene, and did not wash the vegetables because there was only half a bucket of pure water left at home. Now Chen Dong has not reached the point of running out of water to drink, he is not ready to drink the tap water he prepared, and he does not plan to use tap water to wash the vegetables, the celery looks clean and should be washed, Chen Dong finally decided not to wash the dishes in order to save water.
In order to be full, Chen Dong boiled a pot of porridge that was more viscous than paste, and then served with a large plate of celery and fried meat, the food was not exquisite, but Chen Dong was sweating profusely and was extremely satisfied.
After eating, Chen Dong leisurely smoked a cigarette, touched his round belly, he was ready to rest for a while, and then pick up the electric drill to open the doors of other residents. Chen Dong wants to collect as much food as possible, after all, food is not idle.
As long as you are bold, there will always be a way to live, as long as you dare to fight, your stomach can always be filled, and the swollen belly made Chen Dong feel comfortable, and even reminded Chen Dong of his carefree childhood.
Chen Dong closed his eyes, originally just wanted to relax his body as much as possible, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep like this. Chen Dong slept very lightly, in fact, he hadn't slept peacefully for several days, and fear and anxiety had been eating away at his spirit, making him suffer both physical and mental blows while being hungry.
Chen Dong had a dream, a sweet dream, he dreamed that he had returned to his hometown, back to his childhood. At that time, my father came home from work, my mother prepared dinner, and after the family of three finished eating, Chen Dong stuffed his pocket with glass beads and went to play with his friends in the same village.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Chen Dong knew that everything was an illusion, but he still didn't want to wake up.
In the dream, Chen Dong and his friends pouted, lying on the ground and excitedly playing the glass beads, it was originally a peaceful scene, however, at the next moment, when Chen Dong stretched out his hand to grab the glass ball, the child who was lying on the ground face to face with Chen Dong suddenly grabbed Chen Dong's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chen Dong looked up and saw that the child had changed his face, his face was blue, his eyes were white, and he had a weird smile on his face, completely like a zombie. Looking at the child biting his finger and the blood beads flowing down the corner of the child's mouth, Chen Dong felt a sharp pain in his fingertips.
"Ahh
Chen Dong trembled, shouted, and sat up suddenly, large beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
The cigarette roll caught in his fingertips had already burned the cigarette butt, burning Chen Dong's fingers, and the cigarette butt was shaken to the floor by Chen Dong, still emitting thin wisps of green smoke.
"Sweet dreams will wake up, and nightmares don't know how long they will last! Born in sorrow, died in peace! Hehe! ”
Looking at the green smoke slowly drifting, Chen Dong gasped for breath, rested for a while, Chen Dong stood up, picked up the electric drill hammer and went out the door.
…………
On this day, the fifth day of the zombie outbreak, Chen Dong finally walked out of the house, killed two zombies, and found some food that could sustain his temporary survival. Also before dark on this day, Chen Dong broke the No. 20 bit of the electric drill when he drilled the door with an electric drill for the first time, and the electric drill was actually not suitable for drilling stainless steel security doors.
In the end, Chen Dong used an angle grinder on the eighth floor and a twelve-pound sledgehammer to forcibly break open the doors of the two households on the first floor and obtain a bucket of semi-pure water, as well as a few fruits, vegetables, rice, noodles, eggs, ham sausages and other food.
At night, when Chen Dong went to the toilet, he found that the tap water had stopped. Chen Dong has never planned to use tap water, these days, Chen Dong washes with water in solar energy, because he feels that after the zombie outbreak, the tap water may not be clean, after all, the water in solar energy is stored before the zombie crisis broke out, Chen Dong psychologically feels that the water in solar energy should be cleaner.
Although Chen Dong never expects to use tap water for washing or drinking, he always needs tap water for flushing toilets! Otherwise, the filth left in the toilet after going to the toilet will not be flushed, and the smell will be smoked, and the whole house will not be able to live in it.
Fortunately, Chen Dong put a lot of tap water for backup a few days ago, and he kept this water in case he didn't have enough drinking water, but in fact, he didn't want to drink it from the bottom of his heart, and kept it just for peace of mind, and now it is just used to flush the toilet.
The problem of toilet flushing did not constitute a crisis, and from this day on, Chen Dong's mechanized life began again, slamming the door during the day and sleeping at night.
…………
On the sixth day of the zombie outbreak, Chen Dong smashed open the doors of the residents on the third and fourth floors, and the houses on the fifth floor also smashed open. Because of the angle grinder cutting, Chen Dong made rapid progress this day, smashing open a total of five doors, and the occupant on the fifth floor who was locked up with zombies, Chen Dong deliberately avoided it.
However, while cutting the security door with an angle grinder, the cutting blade is also consumed very quickly, and there are only four left, Chen Dong does not dare to use the grinder again, because the gun head is easy to curl the edge, Chen Dong needs to use the cutting blade to polish the gun head on the steel bar gun and the hand hammer, and the cutting blade must be left for backup.
Chen Dong cut a section of steel bar, grinded out the pointed end, and made a chisel, and then he was ready to use the chisel with a hammer to smash the door, and without power tools, Chen Dong returned to the state of manual work.
Chen Dong found a lot of medicines and food, including two packaged frozen fish, some frozen meat, snacks, drinks, cigarettes, beer and some non-staple food, and he even found a whole box of instant noodles in the house on the fifth floor. Integrate all the things, save some food, and it is estimated that it should not be a problem to eat for ten days.
In the evening, Chen Dong considered the problem of food, he turned on the induction cooker, poured half a barrel of oil, fried all the frozen meat, and cooked all the eggs...... All the food that can be cooked, Chen Dong has all done processing, after all, I don't know when the electricity will be stopped, Chen Dong tried his best to ensure that the food in the future will not be eaten raw......
…………
On the seventh day of the zombie outbreak, Chen Dong used a hand hammer chisel, as well as pliers, screwdrivers and other hand tools found at home on the ninth floor to smash the door, the progress was slow, and it took him a whole day to open only two doors, one on the sixth floor and one on the seventh floor.
One of the houses on the sixth floor has not been renovated, and the security door is not even installed with a peephole. Chen Dong poked off the rag that was blocked in the cat's eye, and made sure that no one in the house was home, and there was no food or tools, and Chen Dong finally did not smash the door of the house.
Fortunately, the food is very sufficient for the time being, and the progress is nothing if it is slow, on this day, Chen Dong no longer pays attention to food and tools when searching for things, he pays more attention to looking for whether there is a car remote control key, he wants to find a car and escape from Jinxiang City.
I don't know why, Chen Dong has enough food for the time being, and there are no zombies that can hurt him, but his sense of crisis is getting heavier and heavier, he can't sleep well, and even often has nightmares, he wants to leave Jinxiang City as soon as possible......
…………
On the eighth day of the zombie outbreak, the sky outside the window was still dim, I don't know why, it was foggy outside, and the mist was shrouded, so that Chen Dong's vision was no longer clear, and the mist did not dissipate until noon, and the mist rose again in the afternoon, but it had become extraordinarily rich.
Maybe it was because the temperature dropped sharply for eight consecutive days, and Chen Dong put on a coat during the day. Hot August, the climate is abnormal, if it continues, there will definitely be many plants that can't adapt, slowly wither and die, the existing balanced ecological environment will definitely be seriously damaged, Chen Dong can't imagine whether the climate will be worse in the future, whether people can bear it.
Chen Dong's sense of crisis became heavier and heavier, and his mood became more and more irritable, and he wanted to leave Jinxiang City more and more to return to his hometown in Feng'an County. On this day, Chen Dong's progress in smashing the door was faster, and it only took more than half a day to smash open the doors of the last two remaining residents on the seventh and eighth floors, and in the house of the residents on the eighth floor, Chen Dong found the door key of another attic on the ninth floor, opened the attic door, the attic was idle, the interior was empty, and he still did not find the car key.
On this day, the power outage, which had been strong for eight days, was cut off, and at night, Chen Dong fell into darkness, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep late at night.
…………
On the ninth day of the zombie outbreak, at noon, while the fog dissipated, Chen Dong turned to the roof of the attic on the floor through the skylight on the roof of the attic on the ninth floor.
The roof of the attic is inclined at 45 degrees, and the slope is paved with tiles, which is constructed to drain rainwater and let it flow down the roof to the downstairs, protecting the roof of the eighth floor. Chen Dong used the rope he found from the downstairs tenant's house to tie one end to his waist and the other end to the attic skylight, his legs trembled, and he dragged the rope step by step to the skylight of the attic of the next unit, and entered the attic of the next unit.
The attic of the next unit was also empty, perhaps because no one lived in it, and the owner didn't value the attic, the attic security door was not locked from the outside, Chen Dong just twisted the doorknob and easily pushed the door open.
At the door of the attic, Chen Dong used a hammer to knock on the handrail of the staircase, the roar of zombies came downstairs, the zombies in the corridor were attracted up, there were as many as three, Chen Dong came for convenience, he didn't bring weapons, and he didn't have the courage to face three zombies at the same time, in desperation, he could only hide back in the attic.
On this day, Chen Dong also realized his shortcomings. His physical fitness can't keep up, his own strength is not strong enough, and he lacks physical exercise every day at work, and his strength and speed are not enough, which leads to his extreme lack of self-confidence when facing zombies.
Chen Dong knew from the bottom of his heart that with the IQ of zombies, if he went head-to-head with zombies, as long as he had a weapon in hand, he would have the courage to face it, and he would have absolute confidence to win. But in the end, it will take a lot of effort, whether it will pay the price of being scratched and bitten I don't know, he has never fought with zombies head-on at present, and in this state at the moment, let him face three zombies at the same time, he has no courage at all for a while.
There will only be more zombies in the future, and they may even be in groups, only a strong physical fitness is the capital to ensure survival!
The door of the zombie room on the fifth floor was closed, Chen Dong did not open it, and in the past few days, he smashed the door and collected a lot of food, including half a box of pure milk, vacuum-packed food, etc., in addition, there are many fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables can also be eaten raw.
The food is temporarily keeping up, and the nutrition is also very sufficient, Chen Dong exercises at high intensity every day, breaking through the physical limit as much as possible, and the zombies in the residents on the fifth floor, he is ready to keep it to verify his strength. Chen Dong simply believes that by fighting with a zombie, he should be able to detect his own combat ability, and he can also find out the ability of zombies, and when he deals with two, three, or even more zombies in the future, he should not be timid in his heart.
From that day on, Chen Dong went to the house on the seventh floor every day to exercise, because the house had a lot of fitness equipment at home.
