Chapter 8 The Back Road

In the quiet of the night, the sound of footsteps that are very slight on weekdays sounds particularly strange. It would have been nice to hear footsteps outside the window, but it's a bit unusual to hear it overhead.

We didn't have the mood to do anything, so we pulled over a T-shirt for Xiaocui to wear, and told her to hide in the closet. She took my hand and shook her head, as if to tell me not to go. I said that I, a monk who had just opened meat, was willing to die so soon, don't worry, I'll be back soon. Seeing that she wanted to say something, I immediately kissed her on the mouth and closed the closet door.

I picked up an empty wine bottle on the floor, went to the kitchen to pick up the kitchen knife, thought about it, and had a melee ranged weapon, so I tiptoed upstairs.

This kind of commercial street house is actually the same as ordinary houses, with a small door on the roof, which is convenient for people to dry the quilt on the roof, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so the door at the moment is still the original scum wooden door. I can't guarantee that the two or three centimeter-thick wooden doors will be able to withstand a few zombie blows.

I was about to put my ear to the door to listen to the movement outside, when there was a slight knock on the door.

I wonder how the zombies have become so polite now, and have they learned to knock on doors? Then there was a soft shouting outside the door.

"Anyone?"

Yes, if you can talk, you probably won't be a zombie, and it scares me a sweat. But I haven't heard of people visiting the door in the middle of the night in this zombie-infested world, and it's from the top of the building.

"Who?" I asked in a low voice. And the other party didn't seem to expect someone to answer so soon, stunned for a few seconds, and then seemed to be quite excited and said: "I"

I said, I know it's you, the question is who are you.

"Uh, I'm sorry, we escaped, can you let us in."

This time the voice came from a woman, and it seemed that there was more than one person. So I said you stand back, let me see the situation first, I have a guy in my hand, be careful of being injured by mistake. Then I heard their footsteps move back slightly, and I slowly opened a crack in the door, and although it was dark outside, I could still see the situation with my great night vision.

The person who came was a man and a woman, who didn't seem to be very old, and the woman was hiding behind the man, and the two of them were also looking at me with a wary face, but it seemed that both of them were not in good spirits.

I looked left and right, saw that there was no one else, and after careful evaluation, I felt that they were not any threat to me, so I opened the door and beckoned them to come in.

I quickly found something to put the door on the roof, and then led them back to the second floor.

"Come out, it's okay."

I softly beckoned Xiaocui to come out, and when the woman next to me heard that there were others, she was nervous at first, and quickly hid behind the guy, and the man's breathing was obviously heavier, and he stood still and didn't move. When I lit a candle, they were visibly relieved when they saw what Xiao Cui looked like. Do they know?

It seems that they also know that if they want to survive in such a world, they don't have to be zombies to watch out for.

I brought two boxes and placed them in front of the young man, and motioned for him to move to the vacant part of the house. And that guy thought he could lift it one by one as easily as I did, but he almost flashed his waist. It seems that this guy is very empty

I stared at him with a smile under his surprised gaze, and then pulled the boxes to the table one by one.

On the one hand, it's to deter them, sample, don't play any tricks, brother put it over with one hand, do you believe it?

On the other hand, my small room that used to be alone has now become a "family of four", and there is really no place for them to sit.

When they sat down, the woman looked at me as if she wanted to say something, but then she said weakly to the guy, "Husband, I'm hungry." ”

Hearing this, the young man patted her dotingly, and then said to me, brother, see if you can give us something to eat, we haven't eaten for several days, and we can ask for as much as we want.

I really laughed this time and asked him rhetorically, "Money?" What is that? ”

He paused for a moment, obviously forgetting that in today's world, money has no value at all, and it is too hard to wipe his ass.

I didn't say anything more, and told Xiaocui to light a candle and go downstairs to get some food.

I don't dare let Cui stay alone with two strangers.

When Xiaocui came back, she was about to hand them the food, who knew that when the woman saw the food, she immediately grabbed two packets of biscuits and gnawed them, the man was quite polite, said thank you, and gnawed on it regardless of it.

Seeing their reincarnated appearance of starving ghosts, I looked at Xiao Cui Zhile next to me, I said that when I threw cookies to you for the first time, you were like this. Cui gave me a roll of the eye and pinched me lightly, and I smiled and sat on the bed with her in my arms, waiting for the two newcomers to starve to death and come back to life.

This guy's name is Gao Jian, he is a recent college graduate, he seems to be a rich second generation, and he is not in a hurry to find a job after graduation. I heard that a new attraction had been developed here, so I took my girlfriend Xu Man out for a trip, who knew that this day would suddenly change.

According to their descriptions, they had come the day before the catastrophe and were staying in a small hotel on this side of the pedestrian street. Because they were too crazy to play here on the first day and didn't rest well at night, they slept until the afternoon on the day of the catastrophe, so they didn't go out.

Saying this, Gao Jian gave me a "you know" look.

That night, when they heard the movement outside, they ran to the window to look, but they were so frightened that they quickly shut the door of the room, and were too frightened to go out. Fortunately, I brought some snacks and made up for a few days, and then I heard that there was no movement outside the house, and I had the courage to go out and take a look, and found that the small hotel was empty, and closed the door when there were no zombies outside a few days ago, and then relied on some food saved in the kitchen of the small hotel for a few more days.

"Later, the kitchen was also finished, and I didn't dare to look for it in other rooms, for fear that there would be those monsters inside, so I was hungry with Xiao Man all the time. Until noon yesterday, I heard a lot of movement outside, and saw that this little cui girl was in distress, and you rescued her, so I planned to come here to try my luck. During the day, I didn't dare to come out, and stayed up until midnight, feeling that there was no movement outside, so I had the courage to climb over the roof of the small hotel. ”

I thought about it carefully, and said that I know the hotel, which is a few tens of meters away from me, how did you get here. The guy snuffed out the cigarette butt, lit another one for himself, and began to talk to me about climbing the wall and building a ladder, and it took a lot of hard work to get here. As soon as he said this, Xu Man, who was sitting on the side, interjected, "Yes, yes, I almost twisted my foot when I jumped down from there, and it hurt to death."

After listening to their descriptions, I thought about them carefully for a while, and I felt that they didn't want to lie either. According to the usual observations, the houses on both sides of this pedestrian street are conjoined, basically two or three floors, and if you want to move it on the roof, the feasibility is still very high.

I heard them say that it was almost dawn and the candles were almost burning, so I beckoned them to rest quickly. The resting place is, of course, my bunk location. And I naturally hugged Xiaocui to bed.

Aren't they all their own people!

I kept staring at them in the dark, and I was really tired from seeing them, and I fell asleep cuddle in my arms in a few minutes. Xiao Cui next to me still hugged my arm tightly and fell asleep peacefully. I didn't feel sleepy at the moment, staring at the ceiling, and my mind unfolded a floor plan of the rooftops of the nearby area.

I have to leave a way out for myself.
