Chapter 1 The Waving White Towel
On the ruined streets of the town, the sound of tires grinding against the ground echoes like the roar of a monster.
The large group of zombies hiding in the shadows of the building were attracted by the noise, and they all raised their stiff necks, and "Hehe" roared and staggered after the sound.
A black-painted infantry fighting vehicle rammed into all kinds of vehicles parked in the middle of the road, like a giant icebreaker, forcefully dredging the congested and chaotic river, and drove forward.
The zombies that followed the sound were crushed under the wheel rails by it, and the bones were broken and kept making "gaba...... The squeaky ......" sound of tooth aches.
Without the slightest hindrance, the flesh and blood body would be instantly crushed into pulp by the weight of more than thirty tons of the chariot. The heads of the zombies were like watermelons that had been crushed, mixed with the blood flowers of starry white worms, blooming one after another.
The chariot's rubber tracks shook, and pieces of fishy minced flesh and bone stubble were torn down. Filtered by the liquid-gas suspension of the armored chassis, those in the tank did not feel the slightest shaking of the hull.
The air conditioning in the car was turned on sufficiently, and Shi Qingshan's eyes were bloodshot, observing the bloodstained, unkempt, and hideous-looking "zombie" faces outside the porthole.
The reason why these dead people are still able to move is completely manipulated by the "brain-eating worms" that live in their brain cavities.
In the early days, the number of brain-eating worms in the body of zombies is limited, so it is difficult to take over all the nerves in the body, and the nerves that do not play a role in their survival need to be temporarily abandoned, such as pain nerves and facial nerves.
The loss of pain nerves can make zombies unaware of pain. Facial nerve atrophy will lead to facial paralysis of zombies, just like stroke patients, some faces are paralyzed on one side, and some are completely collapsed on both sides of the face, and they can no longer see what they looked like before they were born.
Outside the chariot, the zombies surrounding them all raised their arms and "snapped" against the chariot's armor, and their pupils in their gray eyes diluted, not revealing the slightest human emotion, only occasionally flashing greedy and bloodthirsty light. Shi Qingshan believed that if he went out at this time, he would definitely be eaten alive by them.
"Stone team, there seems to be someone waving a white towel on the tall building behind you!" The electrical power engineer from the infantry fighting vehicle manufacturer reported to him.
Shi Qingshan woke up from his contemplation, and hurriedly put on his panoramic helmet and looked in the direction that the man said.
"Stop!"
......After a slight resistance brake sound, the electrically driven infantry fighting vehicle stopped with a slight tilt in its tail.
Shi Qingshan took a hard puff of his cigarette, opened the lid of the overhead compartment, and threw the cigarette butt out of the car.
The slightly reddish cigarette butt of "Pop ......" fell to the ground, splashing a spark, and the bones rolled to the feet of a fat zombie.
Maybe this zombie was also a smoker before it died, it looked down at the cigarette butts that were full of green smoke for a long time, and suddenly bent down to pick it up, and directly filled it into its mouth and chewed it.
"Fall back, lean in!" Shi Qingshan gave the order.
"That...... Stone team, why don't we go around it? There is a hospital on that street, and there are many cars and zombies! ”
Wang Hongwen, an AI engineer driving the chariot, looked at the dense head shaking behind the chariot and hesitated to make a suggestion.
"It's time-consuming to walk around, so let's do it!" Shi Qingshan has never been indecisive when it comes to efficiency.
"Oh, well!"
Wang Hongwen reluctantly hung up the reverse gear, the chariot propulsion system sounded a slight power-on sound, the track shook and began to reverse, and the zombie limbs pressed below were rolled up again.
The huge chariot was like it had been poured into a cornfield, and the zombies behind it were pushed down and crushed like stubble. On the narrow road where abandoned cars were parked haphazardly, two blood-colored rut marks stretched all the way to the front door of the radio and television apartment.
There is only one residential building in the apartment compound, and the entrance is an electric folding door more than half a person high, leaving a gap for a car to enter and exit, and the infantry chariot is deftly poured into half of the body, which just blocks the entrance and exit tightly, and the zombies who catch up are blocked outside.
Shi Qingshan picked up a stockless automatic rifle and a Type 05 pistol from the weapon rack, checked the ammunition, screwed on the silencer and plugged in the laser collimator, and looked up and asked Zhang Gong, a power expert: "Have you counted?" What floor is the person calling for help on? ”
Zhang Gong looked up, gestured with his arm and replied: "Count the second floor from top to bottom, the one on the far left." ”
Shi Qingshan nodded: "Okay, don't get out of the car, wait for me here, I'll go up and have a look." After saying that, he put on an explosion-proof helmet, opened the hatch above his head, and leaned out half of his body.
"Buzz ......"
As soon as he showed up, a green-headed fly almost flew into his mouth.
"Phew!" Shi Qingshan hurriedly put down his mask.
The sun outside was poisonous, and the air was filled with the stench of rotting rats, fumigating people to the point of breathlessness.
The rifle made a few "poof" sounds, and several zombies surrounding the back of the chariot were knocked out head-on.
Seeing that the courtyard was cleared, Shi Qingshan climbed onto the roof of the car, jumped off the chariot with his feet on the rear of the car, stood up and bent his waist to search forward, and quickly approached the unit door of the corridor on the left side of the apartment.
The security door was locked, he took out a special-shaped key from his arm pocket, inserted it into the keyhole and moved it a few times, twisted it slightly, "Da", and the lock opened.
"Squeak ......" slowly opened the security door that had not been opened for a long time, pulled out a pistol and walked in slowly.
The corridor is cool and silent, and there is an air of desolation. As expected, there was no electricity in there, it was dark! There are no zombies, and no one.
There are two elevators in the elevator shaft, and one elevator door is open. Shi Qingshan waved his hand to sweep away the cobwebs that sealed the door, stepped into half of his body, shone the floor buttons with a flashlight, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn!" Sixteenth floor! Want to tire Lao Tzu to death? ”
Slowly inserting the pistol into the holster, lifting the mask and wiping the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, Shi Qingshan took out a cigarette from his pocket and took a deep breath.
In the smoke, he squinted and turned back to look for the stairs, only to see a head with long hair poking out silently from behind the fire door.
"it!" He suddenly felt his scalp tingle, his back was cold, and he reflexively pulled out his pistol and was about to pull the trigger.
"Don't shoot, I'm not a zombie!" A low female voice came out of the darkness.
"...... I almost scared Lao Tzu to death! The cigarette in Shi Qingshan's mouth fell to the ground at some point.
"Oh my god! You have a gun, what zombies are you afraid of? A slender woman figure walked out slowly from behind the door, her voice crisp and pleasant.
Shi Qingshan "clicked" and turned on the flashlight to shine on it. The woman hurriedly raised her hand and blocked her eyes.
Under the pillar of light, her chin was round and straight exposed from the palm of her hand, her long chestnut hair lined her arms with crystal white, and her other hand carried a golf club upside down, looking like a young woman.
Shi Qingshan turned off the flashlight and quibbled: "I'm not afraid of zombies, but pretending to be a ghost will scare people to death, do you know?" ”
The woman rubbed her eyes that were dazzled by the strong light, didn't dare to talk back, and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry Brother Bing, I didn't mean to scare you!" Just wanted to see if you're a bad person! ”
"You scared two million brain cells to death!" Shi Qingshan was still a little angry, slowly bent down to pick up the cigarette, and said angrily: "Was it the distress signal you sent on the sixteenth floor just now?" ”
The woman secretly rolled her eyes in the dark, and immediately squeezed out a smile again: "It's me!" It's me! Brother, I'm hungry! I haven't eaten in two days! Do you have anything to eat? ”
Shi Qingshan lowered the muzzle of the gun, put the cigarette in his mouth, touched the pocket of his jacket, took out a small packet of compressed biscuits from it, and reluctantly threw it over.
After the woman caught it with both hands, she looked at it by the light, and hurriedly tore open the package, broke a piece and filled it in her mouth, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, choking on the dry compressed biscuit without a little moisture and sticking her neck.
"Eat slowly! It's easy to choke to death if you don't drink water! Shi Qingshan's mouth was damaged.
The woman stroked her chest and said vaguely, "Thank you...... Thank you brother for the reminder, can you ...... Belch...... Can you take me away? ”
Shi Qingshan took a few puffs of cigarette hard, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it: "What do you think I'm here for?" Are there any other living people here? I can take anyone I want to go! ”
The woman hurriedly swallowed all the compressed biscuits in her mouth and said, "There are no living people!" I'm the only one left dead! I want to go upstairs to get some change of clothes and toiletries, can you go up and get them for me? ”
Shi Qingshan was a little hesitant, the heart of the woman is trouble! That's the sixteenth floor! Pick up some clothes on the way!
After the woman finished speaking, she looked at him expectantly, and when she saw that he seemed to be about to refuse, she hurriedly said, "I know that the people's soldiers will not refuse the people's request!" ”
Shi Qingshan frowned: "It's useless to talk less!" Hurry up and lead the way! "He's the most annoying of the weak-headed.
The woman was overjoyed, hurriedly put the biscuits in her pocket, made a gesture of please, raised her golf club, and climbed the stairs behind the door first.
The young woman, barefoot and unshoeed, tiptoeed, quietly stepped on the steps to lead the way.
When she climbed to the second floor, she seemed to feel that Shi Qingshan's military boots were too loud to walk, so she hurriedly turned around, put her fingers to her lips, and made a shushing gesture......
There was already a window on the second floor, and the light that shone obliquely in cast onto the woman's side face, Shi Qingshan suddenly saw a delicate and soft face, and his breath suddenly stagnated.
Everyone has a love for beauty, everyone likes beautiful things, and Shi Qingshan is no exception!
This woman has a goose egg face, double eyelids, long eyelashes, a straight nose, and fleshy lips, which together form a perfect face. The most important thing is that she also has a unique charm and temperament, which is very attractive to men, and can be called a goddess!
The long-haired beauty didn't pay attention to Shi Qingshan's daze, turned around, bent over, put her ear on the fire door of the second-floor corridor and listened for a while, stretched out her fingers to him with her backhand, and said softly: "Up!" ”
