Chapter 9: Knocking on the Door

Over the next few days, a few questions lingered in my mind.

The first is Eden, which gives people a lot of room for imagination. For example, where is Eden? Far from here? Is it in the mountains, in the ocean, or in the air? For example, did the military already know in advance about the development of the situation, so they prepared such a shelter, or did it improvise such a place?

And Xiao Lin's father said that the whole world is not safe, if it is true, then what kind of virus can spread around the world in a week? I remember playing a mobile game called "Plague Inc.", where the goal was to kill all of humanity from a player-made virus, but it was almost impossible for even the most ferocious virus to spread around the world in a week. Of course, this is only the premise of the game, and I can't possibly know how it will be in reality.

In the end, I haven't had any problems with my body since the sudden high fever that day. This makes people wonder, is it possible that if you are bitten by a zombie, you will mutate, and if you take the initiative to bite a zombie, will it be fine? Isn't that too mysterious?

I prayed in my heart every day that if there really was Eden, that my family would have arrived there safely, and that this place would be absolutely safe.

During the first three weeks I spent in the commissary, the first thing I did when I woke up was to quickly check whether the sight in my memory was just a nightmare, or at least to wake up to the point that the whole thing was long gone, that a vaccine had been developed in a country, and that social order was steadily being restored.

Of course, all of this was quickly shattered by the torn, gruff cries outside the window. Those cries have long since melted into the air, echoing in every corner like the background sound of this world, and every despair, every trembling we tremble is actually the brand that the world has branded on us to prove that we are the people of the last days.

I don't know when it began, Xiao Lin and I gradually got used to all this, and every day we don't dig into why the world is the way it is, or hope that the world will be different when we wake up. We told each other interesting stories about parallel events on campus, commented on a well-known school leader, made interesting footnotes to a school event, told me that she and Xiaoqian wrote confession letters to tease the boys in the class, and I told her about the secret base between me and Twilight.

Gradually, our relationship became intimate. We enjoyed the occasional physical contact, and when passing shoulders or exchanging items, I would deliberately touch her fingertips, and she would pause her hand for a longer period of time.

Although life has become more and more routine, we have not completely relaxed our vigilance, we take turns to rest, and one person must make sure that the other person is awake while sleeping. Several times, looking at Xiao Lin's quiet sleeping face, I almost couldn't help but kiss it.

I usually rest from noon to late afternoon and give up the evening time to Xiao Lin. On this day, I didn't dream for the first time in a long time, and I slept very peacefully. I felt like I hadn't slept long, but I was full of energy. When I was about to open my eyes, I suddenly felt a little shade on my forehead, and then I noticed that it was the feeling of hair falling on it, and I also smelled a slight body fragrance and rapid breathing, which was the smell of Xiao Lin.

I felt my heart pounding, I couldn't breathe, and I knew what was going to happen. I didn't dare to keep my eyes open for fear of ruining the sweet atmosphere, and I waited quietly for her to come closer.

But at this moment, there was a huge sound above the "bang bang bang, bang bang bang......".

Xiao Lin was startled and stood up. I had to pretend that I had just woken up and sat up. Although the wonderful atmosphere just now has been completely destroyed, what makes us care more is the sudden change.

"Bang bang bang, bang......" We quickly made out that it was a knock on the door, coming from the stairwell on the top floor. I remembered that the roof of the building was crowded with zombies, and I was about to break down the door, and I felt a chill deep in my heart.

Xiao Lin looked at me with a frightened face. We were all careless, and since there were zombies going down the ladder that day, there could be more. For many days, how many zombies were crowded above. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

It was almost evening, but the stairs leading to the top of the building were dark, and Xiao Lin and I slowly walked up with the long wooden planks and hammers that we had removed from the wooden cabinet, ready to seal the door tightly.

The stairwell was damp, and due to the lack of care for a long time, the corners were covered with cobwebs, and occasionally it was very annoying to stick to the face. The sound of the door knocking was getting louder and louder, like a sword hanging from the top, and I don't know when it would fall from the top of my head and pierce my brain.

As he walked, the knocking on the door suddenly stopped, and the surroundings fell silent. We're staring at each other, what's going on?

There was still silence.

Could it be that they all left because they found no one here? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, I felt that it was getting colder and colder, and the humidity was heavy, giving people a sense of unease.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, who knew that Xiao Lin suddenly screamed "ah", and I was startled:

"What's the matter?"

"There's something on the wall, there's something on the wall!"

I took a flashlight, and a few black shadows slipped past me, a few cockroaches.

She was embarrassed to spit out her red tongue at me, and made a playful appearance and said, "It turned out to be a false alarm!" ”

The voice did not fall, "Bang bang bang!" "There was a knock on the door again, and we were all shaken.

"Hey, is there anyone in there? Is there anyone in there? But this time, accompanied by the knock on the door, it was a male voice, the voice of a living person.

"Please open the door, I know there's someone inside!" The man continued.

Xiao Lin was about to reach out to open the door, but I immediately stopped her and shook my head at her. I know that the more times like this, the more important it is to be careful and calm and analyze. In such last days, the living are not necessarily safer than the dead.

Sure enough, there was a whisper outside.

The male voice just now asked to the side, "Are you sure they are really inside?" ”

A simple voice replied, "Well, very sure! ”

At this time, it was determined that the other party was at least two or more, and they were all men. If they have bad intentions, the result of opening the door rashly will only be that they will not be able to eat and walk around, and if they think about it further, even if they are not malicious, if they are survivors like us, they will have to share limited water and food with us when they come in, so that our survival rate will be greatly reduced, unless ...... They are the saviors in the mouth of Xiao Lin's father! I decided to find out.

"Who are you?" I lowered my voice and asked, "How did you get here?" ”

The honest voice was taken aback: "Look, there are really people!" ”

"Hello this classmate," the original male voice said politely, "My name is Lu Feng, Lu of the mainland, the wind of the breeze, this is called Guan Fei, Guan Yu's Guan, Zhang Fei's Fei, we are all high school life." ”

It turned out that it was not a rescuer, and my heart sank, and I didn't want to pay attention to them anymore. Even I feel extremely cold, and I used to talk about the survival of the race, but now I am so cold, but I know that there is no mercy on the road to survival.

"Land breeze?" At this time, Xiao Lin muttered quietly.

"Do you know him?" I asked in a low voice.

Xiao Lin shook her head, indicating that she didn't know her.

Seeing that I was silent for a long time and didn't speak, the man named Lu Feng spoke again:

"Classmate, can you please open the door? We have no ill intentions. ”

I asked coldly, "Are you here for help?" ”

After five or six seconds, he slowly replied, "I'm here to ask for help, and I'm here to save you." ”
