39. Chapter 39, Nine minus three
Perhaps thinking that it was safer in this relatively closed and remote corridor, Guan Zhen and Guo Kaijia stopped on the two floors below, waiting for us to follow from behind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that when they met, their expressions were all very embarrassed and ...... without exception Guilty.
Of the 9 people who went out, two died in the blink of an eye.
I saw that all the people had ugly faces.
Although I don't have any intersection with Feng Mingjiang and Zhou Yao, but just watching them die like this, I still have an indescribable sadness in my heart, maybe this is called the death of the rabbit and the fox, because I don't know who will die next, maybe, it's me.
I'm scared of death.
And unprecedentedly scared. Thinking about the days before I always felt that human life was a very boring thing, I was very ashamed of such thoughts. It is undeniable that I was bored, decadent, and suffocating in the past days, but the reason why my life was like that was entirely my own problem. Born to the same parents, Li Di has lived a wonderful life, and I, my depravity, is completely self-inflicted. I used to think that the future was hopeless, but now I don't think I deserve to mention the word "hopeless" in the past.
What is despair? Over the past few days, I have felt that death is so close to me that I have lost count of how many times, and I feel that death is almost about to fall on me. I'm so afraid of death now because it's so torturous. However, the reason why I am still afraid is precisely because I am not desperate, and I am afraid because I don't want to die.
I saw that the faces of these people around me were also full of the word "fear", no matter what we did, no matter what kind of thoughts we had, but at least one thing we are highly consistent with now, that is, to live.
After a long pause, no one spoke. The hallway filled with the smell of dust was suspiciously quiet, but even talking was a very laborious task. In this hallway, I feel like our souls are all in prostration.
But at this time, Zhao Mo stood up, holding the military machete I gave him that was already stained with the blood of zombies, and his eyes swept over a few people in the corridor.
And then someone couldn't sit still.
"Boss Zhao......"
Looking at Guan Zhen's smiling face facing him with a smile, Zhao Mo swallowed back his anger, but his face was blue, and even He Qi, who was standing on his side just now, shuddered when he saw it, as if his hair immediately turned black, his eyes turned red, and then he completely turned into a tyrant.
Guan Zhen was very reluctant to wear a stiff smile, and Guo Kaijia was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.
Zhao Mo stared at Guan Zhen and Guo Kaijia for a while, and just said coldly: "I saved your lives, and I can get them back at any time!" I won't give you a second chance, no matter if it's zombies or anyone else or whatever, if you dare to betray me, I'll kill you before I die!" ”
After another pause, Zhao Mo calmed down, but said undoubtedly: "My wound is ruptured, and I can't fight hard, so I give up the first plan." With the second plan, when we got to the third floor, we climbed the wall from the window to the overpass between Buildings 5 and 6, and then managed to enter the supermarket, where we stopped for a moment to observe the situation before making plans. He looked back at me, and I nodded, and it was strange, they seemed to be afraid of him, and I didn't feel that way.
The so-called second set of schemes, which was also designed by Guo Kaijia before, was to climb from the overpass on the third floor to the supermarket in the next building when he couldn't get through the stairs. The bridge was not built when the two buildings were built, but it was later added due to the need for some functional facilities, which is very convenient for the residents in the community, because they can directly enter the supermarket from the inside of the community, and even push the shopping cart directly home. Our original plan was to rush out of the fire escape and then to the parking lot in one go, passing the horror of rushing into the hallway before, and we all knew that this idea was too much to take for granted.
So there was only one way left, and that was to climb over the outside wall and climb up to the roof of the overpass, which was much safer. The difficulty, of course, is great, but there is no alternative.
I decided to go, all the way to the third floor, which was the calmest stretch of the road I've walked in the past few days, but it ended here.
When you open the window, you can see that on the street outside, in the corners, there are residents of this building wandering around, and many of the previous neighbors look familiar to Guo Kaijia.
According to the previous plan, what we have to do now is to climb out of the window on the third floor of the corridor, follow the additional facilities outside the wall, and climb to the skybridge in Building 6 and enter the supermarket. It seems that this solution is feasible, from where we are to the overpass, it is only about 70 meters away, and the outer wall of the building is filled with air conditioning units, billboards, anti-theft windows, pipes, and the roof of illegal buildings, and even a section of scaffolding to maintain the external wall.
For those of us who have no way out, there is nothing to think about, we must use these facilities to climb to the overpass, this is the way! It's just that if you accidentally fall down, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is not very likely to fall directly to death at the height of these facilities, but there are zombies below.
So far, the zombies downstairs don't seem to notice us, but they are still swaying, growling, numb expressions, but greedily looking for possible prey. The horror of being bitten and devoured alive makes our legs tremble.
"The old rules." Zhao Mo had already shed a lot of blood now, but he still stood up without hesitation and said, "I'll go ahead and open the way, and everyone will follow." If you don't want to go, or don't dare to go, stay in this corridor, it should be safe for the time being, maybe you can expect rescue, maybe not, everyone chooses their own way. When it comes to this, we all do our best, and when I can pull a hand, I won't die without help, but when I can't do anything, I don't have to blame others. It's useless to complain, I don't believe in anything like I won't let you go if I die, if I die, I die, and it may be liberation. ”
Zhao Mo said so many words in one breath, even he was a little unaccustomed to it, after finishing speaking, he smiled with a desperate expression, then reached out and opened the window, jumped down, and landed on a platform at a height and a half on the second floor.
I saw Zhao Mo jump down first, and I didn't think too much about it, so I jumped down. When I jumped down, I realized that this place had probably been neglected for many years, and it had long been full of dust and dried moss, and a lot of garbage had been thrown away, such as wind-blown clothes, used condoms and sanitary napkins, traces of leftover soup, moldy and rotten ingredients, and so on. It's also this kind of old-fashioned community, this kind of old building will have such a place, at least the quality of the residents there in my house is much better than here.
But these are not important, I got up and looked at Zhao Mo standing next to me, this guy nodded to me very knowingly, his face was full of light, fortunately he and He Qi were still so hot just now, otherwise I was really worried that he would have any other thoughts about me.
The third one to jump off was the little nurse Lin Lu, she still looks very flexible, she hasn't graduated from college yet, and she still retains a lot of good habits. Also, I don't know if I studied gymnastics or dance, but when I landed, I was not only very stable, but also had a beautiful posture, and then I was busy showing a smug smile to me as soon as I stood still. Looking at that smile, I suddenly felt that somewhere in my heart suddenly moved, that feeling, how to say? It's like when I was still in junior high school, when I suddenly saw the girl in the next class walking in front of me, I used to have that feeling - the girl in the next class was so refreshing and refreshing, walking past me without squinting, and I tried not to look back at her, but I knew that I had a deep place in my heart, so I moved quietly.
It's a special kind of emotion that only comes from the age of youth, and it hasn't even risen to the stage of feeling. Maybe it's because it's buried too deep in my heart, so the memory is very clear. Maybe it's because it's never been since, and the touch is extraordinarily clear. Later, I fell in love a few times and slept with different women, real or false, but I never felt that kind of touch again.
I didn't expect it to appear now, just because this little nurse showed off her smug movements like a child.
What is it called? A return to the light before death?
Damn, I slapped myself in the face, isn't this a crow's mouth?
The fourth to jump down was He Qi, who landed unsteadily, sat on a plastic bag that I didn't know what it contained, and squeezed out a piece of rancid juice. After Guan Zhen and Guo Kaijia both jumped down, I raised my head and saw Chen Yi's little girl's frightened and cowardly face on the window. I'm afraid! I'm never going again! ”
I didn't speak, but if I expected, Lin Lu beside me shook his head vigorously when he heard it, and shouted loudly: "Chen Yi! Don't give up! We've finally come here, don't be afraid, it's not that hard to climb over, I'll pull you! ”
Chen Yi's voice, coupled with Lin Lu's voice, the zombies downstairs were instantly alarmed, and they raised their heads excitedly one by one, and they didn't seem to see the target clearly in their empty eyes, but they all let out a ho-ho roar in their mouths, and quickly gathered towards us. Although the platform on the second and a half floors is 4 or 5 meters above the ground, zombies can't reach it anyway, their running ability is not bad, and they can also do some climbing and jumping actions, but in the face of this height, they seem helpless.
But the more zombies gather are also terrifying, just looking at this dense human head and a black hole, flowing with muddy mucus mouth, it makes people cold hands and feet, dizzy, knowing that they can't climb up, and there is no sense of security at all.
I just wanted to get out of here, but I was afraid that if I accidentally stumbled and fell, I would get goosebumps in an instant.
What's more, when the zombies gather more and more below, people can't help but wonder if they will climb up in the way of stacking arhats - even if they don't have this subjective consciousness, but if they squeeze too much, they will inevitably squeeze some zombies out, and once they catch something, they may really climb up.
Chen Yi looked at these dense zombies, her face became even paler, she shook her head vigorously, and finally cried, without saying anything, retracting her head and not daring to poke out again.
Lin Lu glanced at me weakly, and I could only shake my head, a thought was raised, a thought was extinguished, and it was very simple to muster up courage, but retreating was only a matter of thought.
Going back doesn't necessarily mean that there is absolutely no chance of living, and I don't know if the path we chose is a way to live.
Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven.
Nine people have become six, and maybe it will decrease soon.
