Chapter 21 Night Run
I was still in grief, but when I saw the caller number clearly, I suddenly felt a burst of excitement, and this violent emotional contrast almost made me suffer a heart attack.
After calming down, I quickly answered the phone.
"Hey, little beast, why aren't you dead yet?"
Of course I was thrilled to hear the fat man's voice again, after all, with the friendship between the two of us, this kind of opening statement seemed normal, indicating that he was still safe at the moment.
"Damn, dead fatty, why aren't you dead yet? I haven't been able to get through to you for the past few days, and I'm scared of the bad master, thinking that you have all returned to your place, if the conditions don't allow me, I want to do a legal event for you, and you will become a zombie scourge of the masses. ”
I muttered a lot of words, only to hear the fat man on the other end of the phone explain, "Okay, I really almost returned to my place, I wanted to move some stock of sweet potatoes in the cellar, but the door was blocked by zombies, and there was no signal underground, but I was suffocated." Luckily, there were still a few buckets of water there, and my brother and I had been living with raw sweet potatoes for a few days. It wasn't until I saw that the bunch of guys in the yard had dispersed that I found a chance to run back to the house. ”
Listening to the fat man Rory telling me the story for a long time, I just wanted to ask him about his next plans, who knew that there was a "Di Di Di" prompt sound from the other end of the phone, and then I heard the fat man hurriedly call: "The phone is out of power, little beast, you come to the rescue" "Dudu Du"
Sure enough, the fat man's phone ran out of battery, and he couldn't even finish the last sentence. But I got what he meant.
I don't expect the fat man to contact me anytime soon, after all, he stays at home all day, and it is good to have one or two power banks in his hand, unlike me, because I also sold this thing in my store at the beginning, so I had seven or eight before the power went out.
After hanging up the phone, I took a few deep breaths to calm my mind.
At the very least, the phone call gave me some comfort in my otherwise sad mood. At least, not far from my hometown, there is still a fat man waiting for me to go back to save him. Perhaps, as Gao Jian said, I can't guarantee that everyone around me can live safely. However, I will not leave any of my companions behind because of this, especially if this companion trusts me deeply.
Quietly climbed to the top of the building and looked at the situation on the other side of the river, there were already scattered zombies wading through the artificial river, and they were sticking to the edge of the river to climb up, and the situation was getting worse and worse.
I hurried downstairs back to my room. At this time, Xu Man didn't cry anymore, but she still sniffed one by one, and Xiaocui comforted her beside her. The two of them saw me running in in a hurry, and just wanted to ask something, but I said in advance, "Don't ask, hurry up and pack your things and run away after dark." "After that, I went to pack my bags first.
There weren't many things in the first place, and with the consumption of these days, it turned out that there was originally a backpack of three sacks of supplies, but in the end, Kankan filled three backpacks. Oh, and two backpacks were found in this house.
Seeing that it was not yet dark, it would not be safe to go out, so I beckoned Xiaocui and Xu Man to hurry up and eat something to replenish their strength, while I leaned back on the chair with a loaf of bread that had expired for two days in my mouth, and began to think about the next course of action.
I've only been to a street pharmacy since the cataclysm, and I can't imagine what it's like to be outside, so I couldn't figure out why I thought about it for a long time, and I almost fell asleep. Looking up at Xiaocui and Xu Man, the two of them didn't eat much, so they said to them that if they can't eat, don't force them, lie down next to them and rest, and I'll call you when they leave.
Xu Man shook his head and said that he couldn't sleep, I said that if I can't sleep, you can lie down for me, I don't have a good rest now, and I am likely to be knocked down by zombies on the street at night because of physical exhaustion.
Listening to what I said, it was very serious, and the two of them didn't dare to slack off, although they couldn't sleep, they still lay down on the bed obediently. Xu Man and Xiaocui lay together, and I couldn't go to bed anymore, so I had to put together a few chairs and make do with it.
At ten o'clock in the night, when I woke up, I found Xu Man and Xiaocui sitting on the edge of the bed, whispering something, ignoring them, going to the toilet to wash their faces, and taking them to the roof.
"Squeak~Squeak"
In the room where there had been no movement all day, there was a sound of scratching from behind the door. I was attracted to us who were about to go upstairs.
"Gao Jian, is that you?"
Xu Man, who was standing between me and Xiaocui, subconsciously shouted to the door, but no one said anything, and what answered her was a more violent scratching sound. We don't have to look at it, we can all make up the situation in the room.
Since my whole body was tightly tied by me, only one of my hands could move "Gao Jian" heard our voices, so he could only struggle to roll to the ground and crawl to the door, scratching the door weakly. Although I knew that Gao Jian at this time only had the instinct to rush out and bite us, but listening to the sound of scratching the door, I suddenly felt that maybe it was because of Gao Jian's reluctance to us.
Shaking his head, he shook off those miscellaneous thoughts, grabbed Xu Man, who still wanted to open the door and take another look, and said in a deep voice: "There are only two results for you to open the door now, either he rushes out and bites you, and then you stay with him." Or I cut off my head before he bites you. Which ending do you prefer? ”
Hearing me say this, Xu Man was stunned, then nodded, and didn't walk anymore, just stared at the door with tears in his eyes, and then whispered "I'm leaving", and turned around and walked towards the roof. Xiao Cui's eyes were red from this face, and she seemed to want to cry again, so I quickly took her hand and walked towards the roof.
"Listen, it's dark now, and the zombies' eyesight isn't as good as during the day, but on the other hand, their hearing and speed are much faster than during the day, so keep your voice down as much as possible. Let's try to climb over the roof, I'll open the way in front, you two keep a distance of more than five meters from me and follow me behind, lie down whenever there is a situation, and I'll deal with the zombies. ”
"If the rooftops really can't get through, then you'll have to pass through the streets in disguise, but just before dawn. Also, you must remember that even if the zombie is close to you and it does not actively attack you, do not make any noise, because even in a resting state, some zombies will still probe us out of instinct, but as long as they do not alarm them, they can basically be confused. ”
Before I actually get into action, I still have to emphasize the discipline to them again, so as not to have any accidents this time.
And in order to prevent Gao Jian's tragedy from happening again, he repeatedly talked to them about the things to pay attention to when disguising himself as a zombie, and in the end, Xiao Cui had a bored expression.
yes, I'm being long-winded!
"Okay, try not to talk from now on," I finally said "OK, let'sgo!" ”
Suddenly I felt the urge to press the Q button to replace the kitchen knife with a pistol......
We didn't stop until we reached the edge of the alley last time, and although we stumbled along the way, there was no danger. I carefully observed the situation on the opposite roof, and found that there were still a few zombies wandering over there, and when I looked back at Xu Man, she was staring straight downstairs in a daze.
Well, it seems that she was very impressed with this alley. At that time, if she had trusted me more, if she had asked Gao Jian to help her throw her backpack over, Gao Jian and I would not have to take such a big risk to go out to find medicine, and Gao Jian would not have suffered because of this. She just watched quietly for a long time before she said softly, "I'm sorry." I don't know if she apologized for doubting me at the beginning, or if she felt remorse for causing Gao Jian to throw the bag down by mistake, but none of that matters anymore.
It seems that the old way can only pass through here, but luckily the rope last time only untied this end, and the other side is still firmly tied to the ventilation duct, so I can just throw it over when I jump over.
After carefully calculating the distance, the nearest zombie on the opposite roof was about seven or eight meters away from my expected foothold, and there were three or four zombies wandering in the distance, but fortunately they didn't get together. I had a plan in mind, and asked Xiaocui and the others to push them to the side and hide them, and I jumped over to the opposite side with a sprint.
"Knock"
Although I tried to keep the movement as low as possible, there was still a muffled sound when I landed, and although it was not big, it was enough for the zombies in front of me to find me. At this time, I didn't have time to hesitate, I turned over and stood up, rushed towards the zombie that pounced, and when there was only three meters left, I jumped up, picked up the kitchen knife and slashed at its head, and shot it in the head. Before I could catch my breath, several zombies in the distance had already spotted me and pounced on me one after another. I didn't dare to slack off, so I rushed towards them, and ran and jumped one by one, overturning them, and suddenly a kind of pride in rushing forward echoed in my heart.
Although all this was done in a short period of time, it was the first time I had killed so many zombies in a row, and my legs began to weaken due to the excitement. Seeing the fourth zombie fall to the ground, and there was no longer a shadow of the zombie around, I immediately leaned against the wall and gasped. I had barely gasped for two bites when another zombie burst out from the other side of the wall, and suddenly it bit at me.
