5. Chapter 5 Companions

Yi Chen slowly opened his eyes. He saw a dim sky, and he couldn't tell what moment it was.

Is this a nightmare that will wake up?

All kinds of images flashed through my mind, and the facts were painful, but unavoidable.

"I'm alive." His Adam's apple rolled and made a dry sound.

He's alive!

Yi Chen rolled over and sat up, finding himself lying in the severed remains of a zombie.

These zombies died horribly, not only were they shot in the head, but they were also dismantled. Looking at the irregular edges of those pieces of carrion, it doesn't look like it's caused by sharp weapons, but it looks like it's ...... Shredded with bare hands.

Yi Chen tried to recall, and suddenly thought of something, a wave of nausea, and leaned over to vomit. However, there was nothing in his stomach, and all he vomited was sour water.

He braced himself and gasped for air, he did it! He not only tore the zombies, but also crushed them!

"It's horrible...... What the hell am I?! He was terrified, but he couldn't get any answer.

After Yi Chen was scratched and infected, he rushed to Shibei Middle School with Officer Bai. Officer Bai used a car to lure away most of the zombies at the school gate and blew himself up, while he followed the plan and brought the remaining zombies all the way here through a loudspeaker.

He remembered that he was dominated by a strange force, and his brain waves received a strong killing signal! Although he didn't completely lose consciousness, the whole person was crazy out of control!

Yi Chen connected everything in series, cold sweat dripping. Now that the discomfort is gone, he has examined his hands and feet, found nothing unusual, and the wound on his back has healed without leaving a trace.

He stared at the broken loudspeaker and walkie-talkie not far away, and took out Officer Bai's wallet and work card from his trouser pocket.

"Bai Yong, male, 43 years old, superintendent of the third class......"

After a long silence, Yi Chen put his things away again. He had promised Officer White that he would live well, no matter what the circumstances.

Maybe not the worst yet, but at least he didn't become one of those walking dead.

This is a small commercial street that sells stationery and clothing.

There were several zombies roaming around, moving slowly and seemingly without a target. A few of them even passed by Yi Chen, not noticing him at all.

It seems that it is not all beneficial now, at least the zombie will not take the initiative to attack when he is his own person. Yi Chen thought to himself.

He found a steel pipe of the right thickness in a hardware store and easily cleared the zombies nearby.

He kept reminding himself: even if he has the strength to kill zombies with his bare hands, he is a human being, and he must not fight with primitive instincts like zombies!

Yi Chen walked into a foreign trade clothing store with a cracked door, and he now needed to change out of his disgusting school uniform.

"Damn, what the hell?!" He saw himself in the fitting mirror that was broken into several petals.

The neat short hair that was originally black turned into a half-length white hair!

And the left eye, for some reason, became a red eye!

This is so abnormal!

Yi Chen originally thought that he was no different from ordinary people, but his appearance was too eye-catching, and it was impossible to hide it from normal people!

After a few seconds of shock, he reluctantly accepted the reality and began to choose what clothes to wear on the shelves.

The store is not very authentic and sells fake Adinac sportswear, bags, shoes and hats.

But now is not the time to pay attention, it is good to wear and use.

Yi Chen changed into a fake Nike, found a black baseball cap, covered the red eye with a matching bandana, and carefully stuffed all his hair into the hat.

He picked out the biggest hiking bag, stuffed a spare set of tracksuits and walked out of the store.

There are no living people left on this street. According to his perception, the nearest source of human heat and smell was on another adjacent street, and they seemed to be trapped by zombies.

Outside a convenience store, there were five or six zombies around. The glass door didn't do much for the zombies, but it was a little difficult for the zombies to get in by designing a few barricades using shelves, carts, and all sorts of things they could use.

Zombies are not as sensitive as ordinary people, and there are certain problems with the coordination of hands and feet, they will only charge frantically when they find food, if humans can deal with it calmly, it is not impossible to save themselves.

Yi Chen knocked over the zombie in three or two strokes, and shouted through the door: "Are you all right?" ”

The people inside obviously didn't expect to be rescued, and after being stunned for a few seconds, they asked tremblingly, "Is it safe outside?" ”

"Safe for now, there are no zombies nearby."

After a tooth-aching dragging sound, several people removed the things blocking the doorway and made way for them. There were three people trapped in the convenience store, a big fat man of more than 200 pounds, a sturdy man in his early thirties, and a male student wearing a school uniform of Shibei Middle School.

When they saw that the so-called reinforcements were only one person, they were all stunned.

"Easy ...... Yi Chen? The student was even more surprised to recognize this person as his classmate.

"Monkeys?" Yi Chen was also stunned, "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't call me a nickname in front of outsiders!" Hou Yingjie's face turned red.

"Ah, I'm sorry, that's what I hear people call you...... How's the school going? Yi Chen asked.

Yi Chen has a general relationship with Hou Yingjie, he only knows that he doesn't be late for school for a day, but every time he is late, he has all kinds of reasons to deal with the teacher, because his academic performance is not bad, and the head teacher is not very sad.

In school, it's all about grades.

As for why Hou Yingjie is nicknamed "Monkey", maybe it is related to his surname, or maybe it is related to his slippery personality, Yi Chen is not clear.

"Three days ago, all the teachers and students were evacuated." Hou Yingjie said.

Yi Chen was stunned, it has been three days since the black rain fell from the sky? He actually lay on the floor with zombies for three days!

"By the way, was it you who shouted at the school gate that day?" Hou Yingjie asked.

"Uh, yes." Yi Chen came back to his senses.

"You're such a!" Hou Yingjie gave an exaggerated thumbs up.

"Eh, aren't you afraid of those things? How do you feel about them? Why are we all studying every day, so we might as well practice sports, and now we can't run when we encounter monsters......"

Yi Chen smiled awkwardly, he didn't expect this monkey to be a chatterbox.

"Eh, what do you have to do with Mu Qing?" Hou Yingjie remembered that Ban Hua Muqing was crying so much that day, begging the police to search Yi Chen's whereabouts again, and the soul of gossip was burning.

"What's the relationship?" Yi Chen was stopped by him.

Hou Yingjie didn't look like Yi Chen was pretending to be stupid, and said lightly: "Ah, it's okay!" She heard you before we did. Do you sit in the front and back rows and talk a lot? ”

"No, I sometimes copy her homework."

"Haha, I think that's the case. She is beautiful and gentle, and her family background is good, and she is still a top student......"

"Why didn't you evacuate with you?" Yi Chen interrupted Hou Yingjie's endless words.

"Hey, what's that......" Hou Yingjie touched his head embarrassedly, "Our class was lined up to the last wave and left, but I couldn't hold back a tuba, ran to the toilet, missed a little, and came back with all the shadows and figures, I was really defeated!" ”

"Damn, you're the real bull!" This time it was Yi Chen's turn to give a thumbs up. Being able to carry out the essence of being late so far is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Well, it looks like there won't be any rescue." The sturdy man next to him sighed when he heard them talk about it until now. He stood up, ripped several large plastic bags from the cash register, and began to stuff the shelves with the same stuff.

"Uncle Liu, ...... are you?" Hou Yingjie watched the man stand up and asked hurriedly. In the past few days, they have eaten, drank, lazard and slept together, and they are more familiar with each other.

"Prepare some supplies and hit the road."

"Where are you going?"

"Adjacent Nanchuan. Didn't you read the news before the power went out, saying that the survivors of several small cities nearby were going to be all moved there, and the troops would concentrate their forces on defense. ”

Yi Chen's heart moved, his father went to Nanchuan on a business trip last week, and his mother still said on the phone that it was very safe there, telling him not to worry. If the survivors are moved there, they will be reunited!

It's just that Nanchuan is more than 300 kilometers away from here, even if it is an old driver, it will take more than three hours to walk without traffic jams on the road, not to mention the messy situation outside the city now, the road conditions are not necessarily good, and it is possible to walk for a day or two.

"How are we going?" Hou Yingjie doesn't seem to be so clever at this time.

"I stole a car on the side of the road several times before I was a tallyman." The man surnamed Liu said frankly. The end of the world is coming, it's good not to kill people and grab resources, who will hide their previous stains?

"Uncle Liu, we'll help you move your things!" Hou Yingjie immediately responded, pushed Yi Chen, and winked.

Half-grown children like them, with insufficient life experience, can't learn any skills except reading, have a sweet mouth, be nimb with hands and feet, and rely on others is a wise move.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Uncle Liu noticed that Yi Chen was blindfolded in his left eye.

"Ah...... I was scratched by glass before. No big deal. Yi Chen replied.

"It can't be a zombie scratch, right?"

"No, no, no." Yi Chen hurriedly waved his hand.

He could understand the other party's wariness. If an infected person hides the truth, it is really scary to be in the crowd.

Uncle Liu glanced at the big fat man sitting in the corner and kept stuffing food into his mouth, didn't say anything, and went out to look for a car.

The fat man didn't know if it was because of fear or the needs of his body, so he kept eating from beginning to end, and he never stopped.

Hou Yingjie struggled to pick up a box of mineral water and whispered to Yi Chen: "Leave him alone, come and help." He is so able to eat and fat, he is very clumsy, he will only drag his legs, and he will not live long. ”

"One more person, one more force, fat man, get up and work!" Yi Chen didn't seem to hear Hou Yingjie's words, and kicked the fat man.

The fat man was in pain, raised his head and stared at Yi Chen with those little eyes for two seconds, and suddenly shouted angrily: "You guys don't care about me, there is food and water here, I won't leave!" ”

Hou Yingjie snorted and said Look, then he went out with the mineral water unhappily.

Yi Chen stepped forward and said viciously: "Even a worm in this world knows how to live, and now that there is life in front of you, do you still want to die?" Do you know how many people want to live? Are you worthy of the people who sacrificed their lives to save you?! ”

"I ...... I don't have any skills, and I can't run fast, so it's better to suffer less sin and be bitten to death by zombies! The fat man was excited, panting, and bursting into tears. It's not that he doesn't want to live, and who is not afraid of death?

The sound of a car engine came from the door, and Yi Chen, whose hearing was much higher than ordinary people, also heard the conversation between Uncle Liu and Hou Yingjie.

“…… What, don't take my classmates? Hou Yingjie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly added: "Why?" He's very strong, and he can turn over several zombies by himself! ”

"He's wrong, I can't take that risk. How can a normal person be so calm in the face of zombies? What kind of person has the strength to kill so many zombies in one go? The incubation period of being infected has not yet been determined, and it varies depending on the individual's physique......" Uncle Liu thought of Yi Chen's covered eyes, and his heart palpitated, urging Hou Yingjie to get into the car.

With food and water, Hou Yingjie only lasted for a while, and soon sat in the passenger seat.

The car was gone, Yi Chen smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that Uncle Liu's senses were still quite keen, if the monkey followed him, maybe the danger factor would be reduced a lot.

"They, they're gone?!" The fat man realized it and jumped up and ran out. Although his thoughts were negative and he was ready not to leave, he still felt uncomfortable when he found out that he had really been left behind.

It's like the psychological gap between when you reject a girl and when you are rejected by a girl.

The fat man came back scolding, and when he saw Yi Chen take off his hat and bandana, his white hair and red eyes made him tremble.

"I'm hungry. If you're willing to stay here and wait to feed the zombies, I don't mind eating you before you hit the road. Yi Chen said coldly.

The fat man's eyes kept on his knees, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Grandpa, I'm ...... I'm not delicious! You keep me, it's useful! I can drive! ”
