Chapter 20: Searching the Town
"Teacher Xu, get up! Big lazy cat, it's time to eat! ”
"Knock, knock!" "Knock, knock!" Accompanied by a rhythmic knock on the door, Yu Kexuan's call to the bed woke Xu Le, oh, no, it was the sound of the door, Xu Le yawned, drove away the unhealthy thoughts in his head, lifted the quilt, and sat up.
When he sat up, he felt that there was a pain everywhere in his body, and gritting his teeth, Xu Le replied: "Get up, get up!" ”
Yu Keyan outside the door was already pouting: "I said let's rest early, but I got up the latest, breakfast was ready, and Miss Ben personally invited him to dinner!" ”
When Xu Le appeared in the cafeteria with two big bags under his eyes, everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Ahem, ahem, I'm just too tired, so I just didn't sleep well."
"No, I think someone's hopes have been shattered, and he can't sleep at night! Hum! "Except for Yu Kexuan, no one dared to talk to Xu Le like this!
Xu Le was in a cold sweat, knowing that Yu Kexuan was obviously thinking wrong, so he had to lower his head and pick up the bowl: "Eat, eat!" I'll have to get down to business in a while! ”
After a few bowls of rice, Gao Liang's group took six students to clean up the campus, Xu Le also took Chen Kang, and Yu Kexuan opened the big iron gate of the school and set foot on the road to the town.
The heavy snowfall that had been falling for several days finally stopped, but dark clouds still covered the sky, and the cold wind in the north in the middle of winter howled angrily. In the past two days, the snow has been half a foot, covering this small town with a population of more than 10,000 people.
It was eight or nine o'clock in the morning, but there was no smoke in a huge town, and the streets that had been prosperous in the past were also in shambles, and the walls facing the street were scattered with specks of brown blood, and there was no half of a human figure, which was really terrible.
From a stone bridge across the river at the east end of the town, there was a creaking footsteps, and three figures walked slowly, it was Xu Le, Chen Kang and Yu Kexuan, I saw Xu Le carrying a bright big axe in his hand, I wanted to find another one from which corner of the school, Chen Kang and Yu Keyan were both carrying a javelin.
The closer to the stone bridge, the more cautious the three people are, the slower they go, after the stone bridge, it is the range of the town, and there will be more and more households, the main body of the town is three uneven streets built according to the mountain, each street is about two kilometers, respectively, the front street, the middle street and the back street, the town government is at the intersection of the front street, that is also the entrance to the town.
In the past few years, with the financial support of the national housing project, two large resettlement communities have been built on both sides of the national highway a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the town. The inhabitants had moved from the town's more remote mountain villages. Liudaohe Primary School and Kindergarten are all in this newly built community. Liudaohe Middle School is on the hill opposite the end of the town, across the river from the town.
Chen Hao's home is at the end of this street, that is, the tall five-story building more than ten meters away from the stone bridge. The building has red walls and green tiles, two lucky stone lions are placed at the door, and the eaves of the roof of the building are carved with glazed tiles of dragons and phoenixes, which are particularly conspicuous in the middle of most of the small buildings with only two or three floors around.
Xu Le looked at the high-rise building not far away, and was worried, today was the third day after the apocalypse, and he didn't know what happened to Chen Hao's family.
The surroundings were silent, even the sound of dogs barking and roosters could not be heard, the door of the first two-story building on the other side of the bridge was open, and there were obvious dark brown blood stains on the ground at the door of the house.
There is a densely populated street one hundred and ten meters in front, Xu Le doesn't dare to be careless, if you don't alarm the zombies in this house, and then lead to a large number of zombies on the street, then there is really nowhere to escape.
Xu Le motioned for the two people behind him to lie down in the snow, and gently lifted the snow on the ground and sprinkled it on the two of them, covering them tightly, leaving only their noses and eyes. Only then did he whisper: "Get on your stomach, don't get up if anything happens!" If there is an accident, leave me alone, you quickly withdraw to the school! ”
Seeing that the two nodded in agreement, Xu Le bent his waist, took a few arrow steps downstairs, and slipped in lightly through the door. Although a lot of zombies have been killed in the school, in order to alarm more zombies as little as possible, and for the safety of the two students behind, Xu Le still slowed down as much as possible, pricked up his ears, and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
Inside the house, it was still a mess, tables, stools, and electrical appliances were scattered everywhere, and a brown dry blood stain spread down the corridor to the second floor, and it seemed that there had been a fierce struggle here.
Xu Le stepped up the stairs step by step along the bloodstains, and when he reached the second floor, he had already smelled a faint fishy smell, Xu Le tightened the axe in his hand, and continued to move forward carefully, the living room was messy, bloodstained, and there was no half a figure, but the bedroom door on one side was open, and the smell came from this room!
Xu Le was more cautious, took a few steps back, secretly used his strength, and forced out his mental power, only to see a small strange wind around Xu Le's body suddenly appear, blowing away a circle of dust on the ground, fortunately, there was no loud noise. The current Xu Le can't be heartbeat and want to be born, and the urging of mental power must first swell the whole body with strength. And the movement caused by the telekinesis is not small, and it is completely impossible to send and receive at will, so it can only be released early and get ready.
When he arrived at the door of the bedroom, Xu Le lowered his head and quietly glanced into the room, only to see a strong zombie crawling beside the bed, and on the bed, there were several corpses that had been gnawed and mutilated. The stench is emitted by the wreckage, fortunately it is winter, if it is summer, this whole room, I am afraid that no one can enter. Xu Le looked at the zombie a few times, looking at the clothes, like the male owner of this house, one day before the end of the day, Xu Le went to the street to buy food, and he also greeted Xu Le kindly. It's just that now, his family, I'm afraid all here, and he has eaten more than half of it.
Slowly leaning out half of his body, the zombie was still motionless, and Xu Le's heart moved: Is this zombie still digesting the flesh and blood in its abdomen? This is a great opportunity!
I saw that in the air, a sharp axe slowly floated to the back of the zombie's head with Xu Le's gesture, and with Xu Le's fierce wave of his arm, between the lightning and flint, the axe was instantly chopped down like lightning, and the zombie's head had been chopped. It's a pity that this zombie has been killed before he has time to see Xu Le's appearance.
Xu Le sighed, withdrew the axe, and dispersed his mental power, only to find that there was already a layer of fine sweat on his body, and his head was slightly dizzy, but with a stream of heat pouring into his body, the dizzy feeling was diluted a lot, Xu Le was happy in his heart: Sure enough, killing zombies can continue to strengthen my ability!
Yu Kexuan and Chen Kang were lying in the snow outside, only to feel that the ice and snow slowly turned into water, slowly seeping down from their necks, and making their entire bodies cold. After waiting for a while, I didn't see Xu Le come out, and I couldn't hear any sound. When they were in a hurry, they saw a figure flash at the open door, and Xu Le was already waving to them.
The two men quickly got up and ran into the house with a bent over.
"I've checked in this house, a zombie on the second floor has been killed by me, you guys go in quickly, clean up well, bring all the useful things back to school, see if there are any mobile phones, bring them too! I'll go to the next one! ”
"Okay!" Yu Kexuan nodded nervously, and Chen Kang also nodded his head heavily.
Out of the door, Xu Le followed the wall to the next house, the door of the family was closed, Xu Le stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the lock was very firm. According to the inference, either the zombies are trapped in the house, or there are survivors in the house, either way, it is good news for Xu Le, and no matter which one, there is no need to forcibly open such a door.
It would be nice if the doors of every house in the town were closed, thinking like this, Xu Le stared at the five-story building with a stone lion at the door a few steps ahead. The door of the small building is also closed, it seems that Chen Hao still listened to his words, maybe, in this building, there are still Xin Cun, thinking of this, Xu Le's heart is hot!
After a few dodges, Xu Le had already pasted the luxuriously decorated big iron door, and the anti-theft lock behind the iron door couldn't stop his mental power. Xu Le carefully controlled it with his mental power, opened the thick security door, shrank his body, flashed in, and then closed the door with his backhand.
The light in the house was dim, but for Xu Le, who was familiar with the road, it was not difficult at all, he went straight to the third floor, which was the floor where Chen Yong and his wife slept, and Chen Kang lived on the fourth floor.
Just as he went up to the corner of the second floor, a twisted claw struck Xu Le from the side with a cold wind. Bow your head, turn sideways, and slash out with an axe, this action is coherent as flying, before you can see it, Xu Le has already repelled the attacking zombies, and when you look up, the silhouette is not who Chen Yong is, looking at the figure, there is almost no difference from before death, and Xu Le has cut a big wound on his chest, but the blood flowing out of the wound is very small.
"I'm really sorry, Uncle Chen!" Without waiting for Xu Le to be sentimental, another figure rushed on the stairs, who is this?!
