Chapter 18: The Stranger
Someone was calling for help outside the door, and Xu Lin sat up from the sofa all of a sudden.
In the last four months, at the beginning, Xu Lin could often see other people, but as time went by, Xu Lin met fewer and fewer people, but Xu Lin saw more.
Selfishness, deception, betrayal, cannibalism, and even cannibalism, after witnessing many scenes that are usually unimaginable, Xu Lin also saw the dirty soul of human beings, in the last days, in order to survive, people have become beasts that they dare not imagine, some people are forced to do it, and some people are happy to do it.
Although Xu Lin did not rob other people's supplies, the main reason was not because Xu Lin had a high consciousness, but because he did not have absolute strength, if Xu Lin was strong enough, when he was hungry, he himself didn't know if he would become like that.
I have to say that the adaptability of human beings is too strong, and the values in the last days have been completely subverted, but after watching too much, Xu Lin is gradually numb, and all he can do now is to keep his moral bottom line.
The person who came tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but the frequency of knocking on the door became more and more urgent, "My residence was discovered by zombies, I know there are people inside, please open the door, I'm not a bad person!" Please! If I don't open the door, I'll die. ”
Xu Lin frowned tightly, and the two voices of "open the door" and "don't open" swirled repeatedly in his head.
For strangers, Xu Lin maintains a very high vigilance, this is his residence, his survival materials are all in this villa, if the people who come in have bad thoughts, they are equivalent to luring wolves into the house.
But if you don't open the door, this person is indeed dead. From the bottom of his bones, Xu Lin didn't want to see death without help.
"Damn it!" Xu Lin knew that time was tight and he couldn't think too much about it, so he rushed to the door and looked out through the cat's eye.
It was a young man in his twenties, carrying a black travel bag on his back, looking flustered, looking back from time to time to see if any zombies had spotted him.
Xu Lin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you outside at this time?" ”
Hearing someone in the house asking, the young man quickly replied excitedly, "I just arrived in this community in the past two days, living in Area B, my house doesn't know why there are zombies breaking in, fortunately the zombies touched the mechanism I arranged, so I found it in time, and then I jumped out of the window on the second floor, and escaped all the way along the sunny place, I am not sure if there are zombies in the other villas, and I dare not go in, until I found that you look like someone living here, so I begged you to open the door." ”
Area B is the area where Xu Lin once lived, and his B-208 has a secret door, so the young man's words have some credibility.
"Do you have any weapons on you, if you do, throw them away!" Xu Lin asked through the door.
"I, I was in a hurry, I didn't have a weapon on me." The young man replied as he looked back, and immediately he turned his head, "Big brother, I beg you, open the door quickly, the zombies are coming, I really don't have weapons on me, I'm not a bad person, I'm just a college student!" ”
From the young man's tone, it was obvious that he was anxious now.
Don't have a weapon? Xu Lin didn't believe in this answer, he would carry a double-pointed gun at any time, even if he was in a hurry and didn't take a double-pointed gun, but he still had two sharp knives pinned to his waist.
It has become his habit to keep the knife on his side.
If it is said that the young man deliberately came to snatch Xu Lin's residence or supplies, this is a bit unreasonable, after all, it is too dangerous to appear at this time, and no one will take such a big risk.
"He said that not having a weapon is also a way to protect himself, after all, I am also a threat to him." Xu Lin speculated.
Thinking of this, Xu Lin shouted softly outside the door again, "Throw the weapon!" ”
The young man hesitated slightly, "Big brother, I really don't have any weapons on me, as long as you let me in, I have some supplies in my bag, and I can give them all to you." ”
At this time, Xu Lin was not interested in his materials, he was more concerned about his personal safety.
"Boy, listen, if you don't throw away your weapon, the zombies outside the door will kill you 100%, but if you throw away your weapon, I'll let you in, as for whether I'm a good guy or a bad guy, even if you only have one percent hope, I think it's worth the gamble."
At this time, it is not very likely that you will not hurt the other party, and it is impossible for a bad person to say that he is a bad person, what will happen to me if you come in, too much explanation will make people more wary.
It seemed that he felt that Xu Lin's words had some truth, and after hesitating for a moment, the young man finally answered.
"Okay, big brother, you're right, I'll take the weapon down."
After saying that, the young man took out two sharp knives from his waist, which seemed to be fruit knives from the kitchen, and he took the sharp knives to the cat's eyes, shook them, and threw them out.
"Okay, big brother, I was really in a hurry at that time, so I brought these two weapons, and now I don't have any weapons on me, let me in."
Time was urgent, even if Xu Lin still had some scruples, he just pulled out the sharp knife on his waist and told Xiao Hei to hide first.
He was ready to open the door.
At the moment when the door was about to open, a sound of "woe" suddenly came, and Xu Lin could hear it, this voice was very close to him.
"Damn, the zombies found him!" Xu Lin closed the door again for the first time, and then quickly ran to the second floor and looked at the situation in front of his door through the window.
His villa is now simply not able to withstand the attacks of the zombies, and if the zombies find out that there are people in the house, then he will not be spared.
"Ahh Eldest brother! Yes! The screams of young men rang out outside the door.
Through the window, Xu Lin saw a zombie flying towards the young man, and a bite was already on his shoulder.
The young man endured the pain in his shoulder, and frantically tugged on the doorknob, finding that there was no sound inside, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
He pulled out a sharp knife from the side of his leg and stabbed it at the zombie's head, but the zombie didn't pay attention to it, and his two hands were already firmly grasping the young man's hand.
The young man ran out like crazy, slashing at the zombie's arm with a knife.
At the moment of life and death, the young man also burst out with amazing strength, and actually cut off one of the zombie's arms with two knives, and then he tried to cut off the zombie's head.
"Oh!" At this time, the surrounding zombies rushed over like black shadows, and the sight of the food made them almost crazy.
Even if the young man is in his best condition, it is impossible to outrun the zombies, not to mention that he still has a zombie on his shoulder, and the zombie group quickly pounces on the young man.
The next picture doesn't need to be described too much, and the young man doesn't even have time to kill himself, and has been dismembered by the zombies that have rushed madly.
In fact, there is no other possibility of the result, and it is impossible for young people to escape.
Xu Lin turned his head, expressionless, leaning against the wall, and sat weakly on the ground.
