Chapter 5 - The Road to Growth (1)
After everyone worked together to clean all the rooms on the 7th floor, everyone was much less afraid of the living corpse; At least they won't be stuck in place anymore and have the courage to face the living corpse.
The collected materials were carried back to the top floor, and everyone took turns to wash them; Zhang Hongda made a few dishes of the collected fresh ingredients, and everyone sat around the living room to eat; Even Lolo has a basin full of ribs.
Zhang Hongda sighed: "The power has not been interrupted yet, so I can still find these; When the power goes out, I guess it's going to be hard to eat like this."
Liu Jianyu smiled evilly and said: "Fat, did you wash it before cooking, you, I just saw that when you climbed up, your pants were wet and yellow."
"How can there be! I'm sweating too much because I'm nervous, not pulling in my pants."
Zhang Hongda blushed and shouted in shame
"Hey, Brother Jian didn't say that you pulled on your pants, why are you nervous?" That's it."
Xie Dongcheng and Chen Guohao did not forget to pit their teammates
"Fat, I'll just ask what you just threw downstairs? I see that the living corpses in a radius of ten miles have surrounded me."
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled playfully at Zhang Hongda
Everyone burst into laughter, only to see Zhang Hongda say loudly: "What about me, Ah Hao, the first time you stabbed a living corpse, you stabbed the sofa in pairs."
"And you Dongcheng, who told you to stab you in the head, but beat the living corpse as a baseball; Who's going to disgust you?"
"Brother Jian, don't pretend, I've seen you secretly pinch your thighs several times"
Seeing Zhang Hongda revealing everyone's old background without showing weakness, Zhou Zhiyuan really felt that the team had regained some vitality.
He smiled faintly: "I think everyone did a good job today, no matter what happened in the process; As a result, we have the courage and ability to face it, and I believe we can persevere."
"Okay, let's eat and rest early"
After everyone had eaten and drunk enough, they simply cleaned up and went to bed, and Luo Luo still inspected the whole house and the laundry field and fell asleep at the iron door.
The night passed peacefully, and Zhou Zhiyuan was the first to wake up when the day was slightly bright; He woke up the others one by one, washed them up and walked slowly to the laundry field.
Everyone started today's exercise, and what is strange is that the physical condition of the four people who are rarely exercising is surprisingly good; I usually can't do 10 push-ups, but today I did 100 push-ups.
"97, 98, 99, 100, good stop! Don't do it yet, and then do it for fear that your muscles will hurt," Liu Jianyu said
"No, I don't feel any aches or discomforts; It's just a slight heat," Xie Dongcheng said with a smile
"Think about how many strokes you could only do in the other day? It's strange to be able to do so much in just a few days," Liu Jianyu said with a frown
Zhou Zhiyuan also said with a puzzled face: "I also feel that my body has become abnormally good, originally I couldn't do anything else by doing 20 push-ups, but today I can do 100 sit-ups, push-ups, and squats and I don't feel tired at all."
Chen Guohao also said: "It's amazing that people who have never exercised can do this amount."
Zhang Hongda said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, this cigarette and a woman can never be separated from their bodies so vigorously, the cow is broken!"
Zhou Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Fat, I decided that it will be up to you to open the way today."
Zhang Hongda said with a bitter face: "Brother Yuan doesn't bring such a playmaker!"
Liu Jianyu said: "Then tomorrow I will teach you several variations of those three routines, you adjust the number by yourself, and don't get hurt according to your ability."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Let's go, let's go investigate the next floor"
Everyone returned to the house and set off to the next floor to investigate, and the whole operation became much easier after gaining experience.
Especially with the help of Luo Luo's wisdom dog, Luo Luo will pose at the door of the house with living corpses, and there will be no action in a house without people; Everyone cleaned up the 6th floor without any stress.
After the last room was cleaned up, Zhou Zhiyuan silently covered the living corpse with sheets; This is an agreed action, if the situation is not critical, as long as the living corpse killed by one's own hands must cover the corpse and pray silently; After all, they were all their own compatriots in life.
After doing these actions, Zhou Zhiyuan sighed and said: "It's still early to see that it's dark, or we will clean this building today."
Liu Jianyu said indiscriminately: "I have no opinion, or I will get used to killing a few more, and I won't have this mood anymore."
No one expressed an opinion, so everyone began to repeat the three mechanical actions of assassination, search, and silence.
In this process, everyone's hearts are constantly hammered, and the mentality towards the living corpse slowly changes from sadness to pity, and then from pity to calmness; In the end, it was as if it was easy to do good deeds.
Gradually, people can begin to test their strength and skills in the process of killing living corpses; As well as finding various weaknesses and traits of living corpses.
"The basic weaknesses of living corpses are only the neck and head, and when the large vertebrae are damaged, the limbs lose their mobility; But the head can still move," Xie Dongcheng said, touching his chin.
Then he said, "The heart is basically ineffective, they don't have a heartbeat; So the body is traumatized, and the blood will not spill out like ordinary people."
Chen Guohao said: "Just now I took a towel sprayed with perfume and covered the face of a living corpse, and without making a sound, he returned to the stupid appearance of not seeing people, it seems that smell is their main perception."
Liu Jianyu said: "The strength of a living corpse should be about one to two times that of an ordinary person, and the handle lock of the security door will be bent."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "And they will only increase their speed and strength when they are close to their prey, and even if they find any movement, they will sway slowly."
"Where's the fat you? Did you find anything? Why don't you speak?" Zhou Zhiyuan turned his head and asked
Zhang Hongda squeaked and said, "I... I'm wondering why the beautiful living corpse on the third floor doesn't sag even after the corpse has changed..."
"Cut ~ stupid", "Brainless", "I have a bag on my head", "What is pretending to be innocent"
After everyone raised their middle fingers at Zhang Hongda with a burst of contempt, Zhou Zhiyuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder with his puzzled eyes and said, "That's Long...", Zhang Hongda: "..."
On the first floor, there are only two rooms left and one of the garrison rooms, which were empty before the accident; The building where Zhou Zhiyuan lives is a U-shaped area surrounded by three buildings; Each building has its own gate access control, and Zhou Zhiyuan's building is in the middle of Building C.
Buildings A and B on the road in front of them, there are more than a dozen living corpses wandering there at the gate; When everyone saw this, they turned around and went back to the top floor.
"I'm going, the door is blocked," Zhang Hongda said, "Fortunately, there are only more than 30, and the lead is open," Chen Guohao said
Zhou Zhiyuan instructed Zhang Hongda: "Fat Da will cook first, everyone is hungry after a whole day."
"Brother Yuan, do you want to find a way to clear the living corpses of Building A and Building B?" Liu Jianyu asked
Zhou Zhiyuan replied: "I don't think there is any need for this, our main purpose is to get out of here; There is no need to waste that time unless you can be sure that there are important resources in those two buildings."
He continued: "With the current stock of resources as the deadline, let's first try to exercise our bodies; I left when I ran out of resources, I really wanted to know what happened to our bodies after the disaster!"
Xie Dongcheng said: "I agree, I think there seems to be a lot of physical strength that has not been exerted."
Chan continued: "I feel the same way, I feel that I still have a lot of potential that has not been developed."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Then wait a minute, after eating, let's open the map to discuss how to go, and how to plan how to leave the living corpses on the route."
After a while, the hot meal was served on the table, and everyone's hearts were burned a lot; Because I don't know if I can eat the next hot meal, everyone eats very happily at every meal.
Not long after eating, everyone took out their mobile phones and tablets to open the map and began to discuss the route; You and I are very intense.
"I think we should scratch through the mountains and turn around to the airport, there are farmland and villages along the way, and the population is relatively small, so there should be no living corpses," Zhou Zhiyuan said
Xie Dongcheng asked, "But it seems that the police station and the armed police station have only been seen in the urban area."
"I also think that we should scratch through densely populated urban areas, where living corpses are changed by people; Where there are more people, there are more living corpses," Liu Jianyu said
"I don't know why I'm going to the airport. Isn't that the most crowded place?" Zhang Hongda wondered
Just as Zhou Zhiyuan was about to explain, Chen Guohao suddenly spoke: "I understand, because the airport is a major facility; There have always been special police and military garrisons, and the nearby police are also relatively dense; If you want to make contact with the survivors of those institutions, you should go to the airport!"
After everyone nodded in understanding, Zhou Zhiyuan said again: "Next, we have to plan how to lure away the living corpses that will pass by on the road."
Chen Guohao said: "We can use gas canisters, as long as there is cooking in this building; We threw it down from the 8th floor, and it could have triggered the siren if we hit the hood of the car, and it was loud enough!"
Then he said: "And the vibration at this height may cause the high-pressure gas inside to be ejected, which may cause an explosion."
Liu Jianyu said: "I think this is feasible, even if the car's battery does not move for two weeks, it should still be powered."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Then Ah Jian, we will take a few tomorrow and give you a few to practice."
Xie Dongcheng said: "If this method is used more foolproof when it rains heavily, the heavy rain will dilute the smell on our bodies, and it will also affect the hearing of living corpses."
Zhang Hongda said: "Yes, it's just about to be the thunderstorm season; Maybe in another week or two it will be thundering and raining."
Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Then it's decided, let's wait until the thunderstorm season starts to leave here."
Just as everyone was about to discuss the other details of the route, suddenly the lights dimmed! All that was left was the bright light from the mobile phone.
Zhou Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Quickly close the curtains, the door is also the floor-to-ceiling door" took out the camping lamp to open and check the electrical box, and then opened the curtains a little more to see that it was dark outside, only a few fires were still burning; However, a large number of living corpses are slowly approaching the firelight, and on the third night of the disaster, the power of the whole city is cut off...
