Chapter 3: The Secret Room
Maybe God or some other god or Buddha heard Zhang Xiaoguang's prayer, or maybe he had the experience of going downstairs for the first time, Zhang Xiaoguang triumphed and arrived safely at his destination, the coffee house.
The door to the cafΓ© was pried open, but the contents inside were neat, as if someone had just cleaned up. Xiaoguang grinned, shook his head, and shook off the unrealistic illusion, at this time, who still has the heart to watch the faΓ§ade?
There was nothing to eat at the bar, and a small half bucket of water was found in the water dispenser against the wall in the hall. Zhang Xiaoguang carefully took down the bucket and sprinkled a few drops, which made Xiaoguang's heart ache. You know, this is pure water, and it tastes much better than the water in the fish tank! Xiaoguang Tian Tian Tian The water drops at the mouth of the bucket are so sweet! What a blessing! I don't know why Xiaoguang's nose is a little sour, the most ordinary water that he could drink at any time in the past turned out to be the most precious gift from nature to human beings! People, they always don't know how to cherish when they have it, and they regret it when they lose it.
Zhang Xiaoguang sighed as he carried the bucket into the kitchen. The kitchen was in the same situation as the hall, tidy up, but there was no food at all. Xiaoguang was a little disappointed and was about to leave, but found that there was a wall that was a little strange. The wall was bare, and under the light of the flashlight, there was a shutter-shaped snow-white. Xiaoguang approached and took a closer look, paper?! It turned out to be a door, and it was covered with white paper, trying to cover up the past, this is a secret room!! Xiaoguang was excited in his heart, someone was hiding something here! Is it food or weapons? Now it's developed!
Zhang Xiaoguang shone a flashlight left and right with a weak heart, but there was no one. Then he gently pushed the door, but did not push. I added more force, but I still didn't push it, is it locked inside? Crash it away!
Zhang Xiaoguang put the bucket on the ground, took a few steps back, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and hit the door with one shoulder. A strong light shone out from inside, Xiaoguang himself couldn't contain his body, and when he was illuminated by the light again, he was a little dizzy, "Oops! "One stumbled and fell into it, and he fell on all fours!
No way! Fall me to death! What's the situation? Xiaoguang looked around, so frightened that he almost peed his pants! It turns out that there are five big living people in the house, and there is a black hole pointed at himself! Damn, I'm also a ghost, just thinking about the treasure in the secret room, why don't you want to think about it, there may be a criminal gang inside! That's it!
The five men, one of whom was an old man, were holding a double-barreled shotgun with the muzzle pointed at the two young men. two young men, one of medium stature, in a blue down jacket, wearing a mask; A tall man with a black ski shirt and a scarf. The two young men, both with a dagger in one hand and a flashlight in the other, pointed at the old man; An eldest lady hid behind the old man, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, trembling; The last one was a young girl, dressed in a red down jacket, with a small round face, and a pistol pointed at her.
The door was closed, and the girl in red was holding her back against it. Zhang Xiaoguang now knows why the door can't be pushed open, there is a big living person behind him, can he push it open?
Xiaoguang was in a daze, only to hear the tall young man in black say, "Little sister, how about it, I'm not wrong, how many people can you deceive by pasting a layer of paper on the door?" Someone will definitely touch it in, it's so obvious! The girl turned her pistol and said to the tall man in black: "Whose little sister are you calling?" β
The young man in the blue down jacket said to the old man: "Uncle, we are really not bad people, we just want to come in and find something to eat, we don't know that there are people inside, so let us go!" β
When Zhang Xiaoguang heard this, it turned out that these two young people, like himself, also came in to look for food, but they strayed into the hiding place of this family of three. Xiaoguang immediately found his teammates, damn, it turns out that these two buddies and I are our own people!
"That's right!" Zhang Xiaoguang lay on the ground and said, "Daddy! β¦β¦ Ah no, no, no...... Dad! β¦β¦ Ah no, no, uncle! Uncle! Just let us go! As soon as Xiaoguang was nervous, this mouth was not good, and he screamed indiscriminately, and the girl who was attracted to "flutter" smiled, this smile was like a glacier thawing, spring returning to the earth, extremely beautiful, and Xiaoguang was stunned.
"No way!" The old man said: "Who knows if you will find accomplices again after you leave!" β
"What are we looking for accomplices for?" Xiaoguang asked stunned while lying on the ground, and then the other five people in the room despised the word "big" on the ground with their eyes at the same time.
Xiaoguang suddenly realized: "Ah! I see, I'm here to rob them! Then, the other five people in the room looked at the word "big" with disdain at the same time.
The tall black-clothed young man swept the dagger in his hand and said softly to Xiaoguang: "Brother Tai, I really want to stab ~ death ~ you!" β
Xiaoguang knew that he had said the wrong thing, which stimulated the family of three, so he quickly closed his mouth and honestly lay on the ground as a dumb person.
After a moment of silence, the young man in blue said, "Uncle, let's calm down first, will you listen to me?" Seeing that the old man did not object, the young man in blue continued: "First, you will not kill us, you are a good person, if you want to kill us, you will have killed us a long time ago, you have two guns, we only have two knives, ah, by the way, plus this little brother on the ground, that is, three."
Second, we're not bad guys, but we can't prove it to you at the moment, so we can only ask you to trust us.
Third, and most importantly, the electricity in everyone's flashlight is limited, and the battery light on your desk can't be lit forever, so if you go on like this, when there is no power, it's dark, and the situation is chaotic, even if you clean up the three of us, can you guarantee that we can't pull a cushion?
So, for everyone's good, you'd better trust us, let us go, and we promise never to come again! β
The old man still didn't speak, as if he was thinking about it. The atmosphere was oppressive and tense. Zhang Xiaoguang soon couldn't hold back, "Actually, ......." As soon as Xiaoguang spoke, everyone looked at him, hoping that he would have some constructive opinions, after all, no one likes such a stalemate. Xiaoguang cleared his throat when he saw everyone looking at him, "Actually, I'm really a good person!" β
"Holy!" The tall young man in black couldn't help but burst into foul mouth. The girl in red smiled and said, "Of course, bad guys are quite smart, you are a fool, you are definitely not a bad guy!" "Everyone can't help but laugh.
Zhang Xiaoguang interrupted like this, and the atmosphere was a little better.
The young man in blue thought for a while, "Uncle, do you think this will work, my family lives in the east house on the twelfth floor of Building A opposite, and my father has not come back until now, and my mother and my fifteen-year-old sister are at home, and they are all waiting for me to bring food back, if you let this good brother go to my house to see, you will know that I didn't lie to you." β
The tall young man in black was also busy: "My family lives in the east household on the eighth floor of Building H, and my grandfather and grandmother, little brother, you can also go and see it, and come back to testify to me!" β
Zhang Xiaoguang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, is he really stupid enough to make people feel so relieved?
The old man was silent for a moment and said, "Young man, you are right about one thing, we can't keep spending like this, and I don't want to kill you." So we're going to have someone get out of here first. But it's not you who leave here first, it's us. β
Everyone was stunned, and the girl in red said, "Dad, are we leaving?" β
"Yes," said the old man, "we can't hide here forever." Old woman, pack up your things, let's go. The lady with the scissors answered, and she was busy for a while, packed up five suitcases and two big burdens, and was still looking around, all kinds of reluctance, and a few people frowned, is this a flight or a move? In the end, I repacked under the scolding of the old man, and only brought three suitcases.
The old man asked the girl and the eldest lady to go out first, and pointed a gun at the three of them: "Three young men, I'm sorry, please stay here first, wait for about ten minutes, we will go away before you leave." I'm talking ugly ahead, whoever comes out early, don't blame me for being unkind! The old man raised the shotgun in his hand and walked out slowly.
There were only three young people left in the room, Zhang Xiaoguang got up from the ground, the three of them looked at each other, no one spoke, no one dared to leave, who knows if the old man was waiting outside the door.
The young man in black was noticeably more open, reaching out to pick up a bag of snacks that had been thrown on the table, and flipped it up as he ate it. The young man in blue also began to rummage. Xiaoguang saw that everyone was not polite, so don't be idle, look for it, if there is anything useful.
Xiaoguang was about to stretch out his hand, only to hear the outside "Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and then there was an exclamation from the girl in red: "Dad! Father! Come on! Save people! Father! β¦β¦β
The three young men were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and the young man in black said, "What's the situation?" The young man in blue shrugged: "I don't know." Xiaoguang said: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Billboards again? β
The three of them hurriedly ran out, and when the flashlight shone on, they saw that the old man was really slapped under a big billboard, which was much larger than the one that smashed Zhang Li, and the old man was motionless below. The girl in red and the eldest lady were shouting and lifting the billboard, but they couldn't lift it.
Xiaoguang hurriedly ran over to help, the other two hesitated, and also ran over, and several people lifted the billboard away, it was really heavy! When the old man was carried back to the secret room, he saw a hole in his head under the light, bleeding nonstop, and he was unconscious. The two of them cried anxiously.
"Don't cry," Xiaoguang said, "Hurry up and find a doctor!" β
The young man in black glanced at Xiaoguang deeply, patted Xiaoguang on the shoulder, and said, "Big brother, where do you ask people to find a doctor?" Xiaoguang suddenly remembered the current situation, and he was also dumb, not knowing what to say.
Waiting for a few people to bandage the old man's wound briefly, the girl in red knelt down, "Three big brothers, I know you are good people, you must help save my father!" If my dad is going to die, we won't be able to live, woo woo~, as long as you can save my dad, I'll give you a gun, okay? I beg you! Woo woo woo~"
The three young people thought to themselves, big girl, where can we find a doctor? Besides, we really want guns, so we're going to grab you now.
The girl saw that the three of them were just silent, and the more she cried, the more sad she became, thinking of the unpredictable fate in the future. Xiaoguang really couldn't bear it, he was about to cry when he was cried by the girl, so he helped the girl up and said, "Okay!" Let's go to the doctor! But....... You may not be able to find it. The girl grabbed Xiaoguang's hand and cried: "Thank you, thank you, big brother, you are all good people, I will remember you for the rest of my life!" β
The man in black and the man in blue couldn't listen anymore, and said to the two: "Hey, hey, what do you call us, brother, we haven't agreed yet, okay?" β
"Two big brothers!" Xiaoguang said: "What time is it?" Troubled times! Doomsday! Who can guarantee that they will survive this catastrophe safely? She is in trouble today, maybe tomorrow we need someone to help, we can only survive by uniting and helping each other! β
The two in black hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Xiaoguang looked, there is a door! And he said, "What is the most precious thing now?" It's trust, after today's events, I believe everyone can see that we are not bad people, we are all people with a bottom line, right? Courage and courage were rare before disasters struck, let alone now? Everyone is enthusiastic, otherwise they would not have helped to save the old man. I now absolutely believe in the character of the two eldest brothers, and I believe that the two eldest brothers can also trust me. We should cherish this trust and unite to get through this natural and man-made disaster together, so that we have the greatest probability of survival!
The two in black thought for a moment. The young man in blue said: "What you said makes sense, we should unite and survive." Although the trust between us is still fragile, it is better than nothing. I am willing to try to cooperate with you, my name is Zheng Haotian. β
The tall man in black looked at everyone, "Okay, then let's join forces!" Your kid has a pretty slippery mouth, and you're a political commissar. My name is Gao Wei. β
"My mother said the same thing," Xiaoguang smiled: "My name is Zhang Xiaoguang!" β
