Chapter 8: Physical Changes
My eyesight? How did my eyesight get so good? Observing and looking at the room, Xu Le found some changes in himself, so he squinted slightly and looked at the opposite side, the bright red slogan on the wall soaked in blood was actually clearly seen: industry is good at diligence, and absurdity is ridiculous. Xingcheng Yu Si was destroyed in the playground separated by dozens of meters wide, and there was the obstruction of heavy snow flying in the sky, can you still see it so clearly? It's really a lot better!
Xu Le carried the fire axe in his right hand again, and the axe, which was originally slightly heavy, was actually fluttering at the moment, as if he had carried a dry wooden stick. Xu Le moved his whole body again, and suddenly made a rattling sound like fried beans, which startled Yu Kexuan next to him.
In this activity, Xu Le felt comfortable all over his body, and he did not have the feeling of fullness of blood filling his whole body, and secretly felt strange. But no matter what, I'm getting stronger. I can live better in these last days!
Xu Le looked at the town again, and the three-story building of Chen Hao's house had only a hazy outline in the dark, and there was no light in sight, and he didn't know what was going on. Xu Le sighed in his heart: I hope that the old Chen couple and Chen Hao can be safe and sound, especially Chen Hao. Thinking of this, Xu Le couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. In the past two years, although Chen Hao caused a lot of trouble for himself at the beginning, as they got along more and more harmoniously, Xu Le had already regarded this stubborn and intelligent young man as his younger brother. At this moment, thinking of the uncertain life and death of this family, Xu Le was even more sad.
That's right! And the father! As soon as he thought of this, Xu Le suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he had fought fiercely just now, and only then did he come to his senses, and finally thought of his only dear relative in the world. The trembling hand trembled slightly and touched the trouser pocket, fortunately, the phone was still there, and he took out the phone in a panic, and the time was 2:13 midnight. Xu Le hurriedly dialed his father's phone.
"Sorry, the user you're calling is turned off." A few more times, it's still the damn beep.
Xu Le flipped to the landlord's phone again, and called, but no one answered, Xu Le did not give up, and called several times, but no one answered.
Xu Le's heart was anxious and helpless, thousands of miles away, and he didn't know what the situation was on his father's side, whether such a zombie frenzy had also broken out. I don't know if my father is safe, if my father becomes that monster, or if he is a zombie, Xu Le doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Damn it! I really shouldn't have been admitted to such a far place when I graduated, and I wasn't by my father's side when he was most dangerous and needed him the most! Xu Le couldn't help biting his lip, and his mouth was slightly salty.
Seeing that Xu Le hadn't made a few phone calls, and his face was getting worse and worse, Yu Kexuan obediently pulled Xu Le's arm: "Teacher Xu, the wind and snow on the top of this building are so big, it's so cold, let's go into the house." ”
Xu Le turned around and saw Yu Kexuan's slender body with his head shrunk, his face full of tears, and he was already shivering from the cold. Chen Kang, Claire and more than a dozen students in the back were shivering under the heavy snow, looking at them expectantly.
"From now on, I am their hope! No matter what, I can't show cowardice and fear in front of them, otherwise, how can this group of half-grown children, and Claire, who has collapsed, have the confidence and courage to live! ”
Xu Le's expression regained firmness, and he waved his hand: "Take the food, let's go into the house too!" ”
The puffed room is about fifty or sixty square meters, and it is usually only used to pile up sundries, although there is a door, it is not locked, and there is no electric light in the house at all.
When Xu Le used his mobile phone as a flashlight to lead a group of people into the house, he found Qin Yueming holding Deng Chan in one hand and a broken table leg in the other. Curled up in one of the innermost corners. At this time, seeing Xu Le, who was covered in blood, come in, trembling and blocking the table legs in front of him, and squeezed backwards, making a creaking sound, it was already a debris with his back against the corner of the wall, and there was no way to retreat.
"You guys, don't come here, here, this is our place."
glanced at this guy with contempt, facing himself, he dared to pretend to be tenacious with half of the table leg, but in the face of zombies, he ran faster than rabbits, greedy for life and afraid of death. Xu Le stared at Deng Chan again, but the woman was still tightly in Qin Yueming's arms, and as soon as her eyes touched Xu Le, she quickly turned her head. It was as if Xu Le was some kind of devil, which made Xu Le's heart even colder.
Xu Le didn't answer, he took the students to clean up the sundries on the ground, I don't know who it was, the action was a little bigger, knocked down a dilapidated desk, and made a bang, and suddenly there was a low ho and ho roar of zombies downstairs, and everyone immediately stopped moving, like a freeze-frame shot. After a long time, the sound on the roof disappeared, and the zombie lost its target, and roared for a while, before it gradually lost its sound.
Only then did everyone know that the zombies had not gone far, and they were just downstairs here, gnawing on the corpses in that room. When I landed, my heart tensed again.
"Don't panic, everyone, zombies can't come up. Let's be careful not to make loud noises and not attract the attention of the zombies. ”
Hearing Xu Le say this, everyone cautiously tiptoed away the clutter around them and sat down on the spot. Xu Le turned off the flashlight on his mobile phone, and suddenly the room was dark, no one spoke, and the room was silent for a while, only the sound of the wind whirring outside and the rustling of snow were heard.
After a while, I saw a faint light source in the center of the room, but Xu Le turned on the phone again, and with the faint screen light, Xu Le whispered: "Whoever wants to call their parents, take it and make a call, the voice is smaller, and you can have a thought!" ”
An arm trembled and stretched out from the darkness and took away the mobile phone, and then, except for Yu Keying, Claire, and Chen Kang, the other eight students of Xin Cun all made a call to their own one by one, but in addition to the busy tone of the doo, it was a prompt to turn off the phone. None of them got through. In the small room, low sobs slowly sounded.
After turning around, the mobile phone returned to Xu Le's hand, and then a weak voice sounded: "I also want to call my parents, Mr. Xu, can I make a call?" ”
Listening to the voice, it was Deng Chan, Xu Le didn't answer, just nodded lightly and handed over the phone.
Not surprisingly, Deng Chan didn't get through, at this time, Qin Yueming next to Deng Chan spoke: "Teacher Xu, I'll make a call too, my dad's mobile phone is a global card, the signal is good, as long as it is connected, he, he can send someone to save us tomorrow" The voice is getting smaller and smaller, but I am afraid that he himself knows that in an environment like tonight, this possibility is much lower than buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot.
"You fight." Xu Le didn't mind and agreed!
Although he doesn't dare to call himself an upright gentleman, Xu Le still has this bit of energy, and at this time, he took out his mobile phone, and he also hoped that someone could make a call, so that at least it showed that the communication system was not paralyzed, and he could still contact the outside world, in that case, he might still be able to contact his father.
Sure enough, Qin Yueming couldn't get through the phone, and the phone was handed back, and Xu Le handed the phone to Yu Kexuan. Yu Keyi's trembling dial did not respond.
At this time, only Chen Kang's hoarse voice was heard: "I don't have a phone at home." ”
Xu Le was stunned: his squad leader, who has never talked much, is also steady and sensible, learns and is practical, never let himself half a snack, even the annual dormitory student subsidy, he took it from Xu Le, and he did not make a phone call to his parents.
After a round of phone calls, none of them were connected, Xu Le tried to dial 110, 119, and 120 again, but all of them were busy, and none of them could get through. I dialed my father's phone a few more times, and the landlord's phone number. Still nothing has been gained. Xu Le had no choice but to send a text message to his father: "The disaster broke out tonight, I am safe now, father, how are you, please call back when you see it!" Clicked the send button, but after a long time, looking at the message that had been sending, Xu Le was silent, so he could only turn off the mobile phone curtain to save power and retain this line of hope.
It was pitch black inside, with only a low whimper, and the sound of the wind whining outside, and the creaking sound of the wind shaking the roof, and an indescribable depression permeated. Xu Le's heart was also depressed and dazed. Being here at the moment, like living on an isolated island, and not being able to connect with the outside world at all, is it really the whole world that has become like this? Originally, there were more than 100 people in the school, but there were only 14 people left alive at the moment, which is really not one in ten! In the future, it will definitely be even tougher! Is this really going to happen to humanity?
Wisps of cold wind seeped in from the cracks in the roof of the puffed house, crying like a complaint, the temperature gradually dropped, and the small black house was like an ice cellar. I only heard a whisper, and it was probably a few students snuggling up to each other, leaning against each other to keep warm.
In the darkness, a trembling and twitching little body leaned on Xu Le, hugged Xu Le's left arm, it was Yu Kexuan, and then, next to the right hand, this time it was Claire; After that, slowly, another one came from behind, it was Chen Kang.
Xu Le pulled the thin quilt to wrap Yu Keyan, took a deep breath, and vigorously mobilized the strength in his chest, and again, the heat gushing out from his heart spread all over his body, and also passed on to the three small figures. Xu Le carefully felt every inch of muscle in his body, every inch of skin burning sensation. Gently exhale, regulate your breathing, and do your best to maintain this state.
In this small puffing room, the three of them relied on Xu Le, and the slightest heat flow from the solid body warmed them and dispelled the freezing air.
Outside the house, the sky is full of cold wind and snow, and the world is going to render the world a piece of snow white, and the world, from tonight, has completely changed!
