131.Chapter 131
The sky was cloudy, and a cold wind swept by.
It seems that under the influence of this special weather, the zombies on the periphery of Nanchuan are restless, and gradually gather on the bank of the moat between the outer and inner cities.
Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer survivors on the periphery, and the vast majority of the zombies have not eaten for a long time, and hunger and instinct have pushed them towards the meat-scented inner city.
The guards in the quarantine area have been under a lot of pressure recently, and they have to clean up several waves of zombies that have collided with them almost every day, ranging from a dozen to dozens.
But today, a large group of zombies gathered on the other side of the moat, not in a hurry to cross the river, as if waiting for something.
The guards had seen a similar scene, and that was more than half a month ago.
That night, hundreds of zombies attacked the quarantine area in an organized manner and successfully broke through the first line of defense, but they were blocked in the power grid and cleared up by Bai Ge and his people.
This time there were far more zombies than that night. They stood together in a dense group, and the black pressure behind them could not be seen, and it was impossible to estimate their number!
The guards have reported this news to the Future Group, and the senior management of the group has taken it very seriously, and decided to mobilize the security forces in the city to go to the quarantine area and wait for it.
Bai Ge received a notice to defend the city, and hurriedly set off without eating breakfast.
When Yi Chen heard about the situation on the periphery, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Does the movement of the peripheral zombies have anything to do with the lurkers?
If it ordered the zombies, does that mean it's ready to act?
However, will it engage in such a high-profile frontal impact?
The advantage of the lurker is that he hides his aura and kills invisibly. If this arrangement of zombie siege is made, will it be for another purpose?
Yi Chen couldn't get the answers to the above questions. In the past few days when the Lurkers have disappeared, there is a lot to be done. It's in the dark, he's in the light, it's passive.
He looked up and saw that the inner city was still a man-made blue sky and white clouds, and the glass dome completely obscured the true appearance of the sky.
Today is the day when his family visits the old factory, and he decides to follow the neighborhood just in case. After experiencing so many incidents, Yi Chen did not allow himself to have a trace of luck. His family is the most important thing to him, and no matter what happens, he will take care of them.
Chen Hong took Yi Lin to wait at the gate of the old field for a few minutes, and Lu Yu appeared across the street with a bright smile on his face, waving at them.
"Auntie, Linlin! Sorry, I'm late! ”
"It's okay, we've just arrived." Chen Hong smiled and handed him a sightseeing ticket.
Yi Chen's father, Yi Zhuoming, still didn't come back from Xijing.
There is only one express train and one slow train round trip between Xijing and Nanchuan every day, and yesterday Chen Hong made a table of good dishes and waited for her husband to come home, but what she was waiting for was an apologetic phone call.
Yi Zhuoming explained that the project they were responsible for went awry, and a protective wall north of Xijing was breached by zombies.
Although he was granted leave, he felt that he was responsible for the matter, so he stayed.
Chen Hong had no problem with her husband, and originally thought that she would not go, but later considered that this was a VIP ticket sent by Mu Zongxing in person, if it was wasted and the kindness of others was brushed, it was likely to affect Yi Zhuoming's work. And Yi Lin has been staying in the hospital with her for the past few days, although she didn't say anything, but she must be stuffy, so it's good to change her mood.
So for the third sightseeing ticket, she invited Lu Yu to accompany her.
The whole building style of the old factory is simple and unpretentious, atmospheric and unassuming, the layout is peculiar, and the outside is square and the inside is round. In its casual and exquisite decorative details, you can feel the ingenuity of the original designer.
There are 4 buildings in the southeast, northwest and northwest, surrounded by a square factory area, which is connected to a 24-sided main building in the middle by a staircase, with high and low staggered heights and corridors.
Lu Yu hadn't been here before, so he couldn't help but look at it twice. He had long heard that the interior of the old workshop was intricately designed, like a labyrinth, but it was well ordered, and it was a unique and charming creative exhibition hall.
The main attractions inside were printed on the back of the VIP sightseeing ticket, and he was about to take a closer look, when Chen Hong asked coldly.
"Xiaoyu, you said - was it really a gas explosion that day?"
"This ...... I don't really know, it happened so suddenly. Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and withdrew his gaze. It seems that Yi Lin really didn't tell her mother anything.
"Did you see anything strange at the time?"
"Nope." Lu Yu opened his eyes and said nonsense.
“…… Maybe I'm mistaken. Chen Hong rubbed her temples, "If Yi Chen is here, you can take Yi Lin around." I'm not interested in seeing the exhibition, so I might as well rest at home. ”
Lu Yu smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. He knew that Yi Chen had left a note in the hospital, which said to ask Chen Hong to take care of his body and pay attention to safety, and finally mentioned his recent situation, saying that everything was fine, don't read it.
"At first, we heard that you were also injured and hospitalized, and we were still very worried and planned to visit the hospital, but I didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital faster than me."
"Auntie, I'm just a little injured, it's okay."
"But you bleed a lot!" Yi Lin, who had not spoken, frowned and spoke.
"A lot of bleeding does not mean that the wound is deep, your little brother Yu has a good physique and recovers quickly!" Lu Yu hurriedly took over the conversation, afraid that she would say something else. Where is he here to accompany him to visit today, obviously he is here to be interrogated! If they kept asking questions like this, he wouldn't be able to resist it.
He quickly changed the topic, pointed to the entrance of the old workshop and asked, "I heard that there have always been a lot of people here, why didn't you line up today?" ”
"Today is a public rest day in Laochangfang, which was originally closed. Mr. Mu of the Future Group said that we should take a special walk to avoid being crowded and not seeing things. Chen Hong said.
"So good? I followed and got naked. Lu Yu smiled.
Yi Chen, wearing a hat and an eye patch, sat in a small shop not far from the old factory.
He could hear their conversation clearly. To be honest, he was a little envious of Lu Yu, at least Lu Yu's appearance had not changed, and he was able to continue to live his previous life openly.
The three of them entered the old workshop, and he waited here so as not to expose his whereabouts.
A crackling sound suddenly came from above his head.
The voice changed from small to loud, and I don't know who shouted outside: "It's raining!" ”
Yi Chen was stunned for a moment, hurriedly rushed out of the store, and looked up.
It's raining in the sky!
After nearly three months, since the end of the world, the black rain has returned!
The glass dome was printed black, and the once beautiful artificial sky gradually became filthy.
The road was chaotic, some people shouted, some people shouted, and some people panicked and hid in nearby buildings.
At this time, Yi Chen finally knew the reason for the uneasiness in his heart.
He seemed to have a little sense of this.
