Chapter 53
I shuddered and opened the door and walked out of my house, still on the street as it had been yesterday, with nothing but empty cars. I walked around the house a few times before returning to my accommodation, sitting on a chair in the hall and staring at the floor stupidly. Because I'm thinking about my parents now, but at this point I accidentally touched the remote control of the TV and then I realized that I can try to watch TV now, and maybe the TV can give me the answer to why it is like this. So I turned on the TV, and there was something in it, so I dialed the station to the news channel, but I waited in front of the TV for a long time and it didn't announce anything about what was happening to me, so I was about to turn off the TV, but then a subtitle news caught my attention.
The subtitle news is as follows: An earthquake occurred in a city, resulting in many missing and many dead, and rescuers are carrying out rescue.
It's just a short piece of news, but it gives me a lot of hope.
"Rescuers, there are rescuers" At this time, I didn't know whether I was excited or excited
I put down the kitchen knife I had been holding tightly in my hand and ran out of the gate, I looked carefully at the damaged cars, I wanted to judge the route of the rescuers from the extent of the damage to these cars, but I looked at the damaged cars for a long time and did not look like they were damaged by the rescuers, these cars were more like they were damaged by some kind of sharp weapon. But I didn't think too much about it at this time, and I must have a glimmer of life in my heart now. So I stood at the door of my house and screamed loudly, hoping to get the attention of the rescuers, but unfortunately my action was pointless. I stood at the gate stupidly and called for an hour, but I didn't hear a single response, but my voice was hoarse. I walked back to my house in frustration, locked the door so that I would feel safe, and then I searched around the house for food and ate as much as I could. I don't know what to do in the next place, because in this case my mind is completely messed up and my thoughts are not even clearer than they were yesterday.
I sat motionless in my chair, maybe it was my instinct and I suddenly remembered the two people I had met yesterday, monsters.
"They seem to be afraid of the sun," I said to myself
At this point, I don't know where I got the courage or curiosity, I was going to go back to yesterday to find out, but this time I put on a tracksuit and a kitchen knife in my hand, and I knocked my guts for myself, and I just walked out of the house. I didn't see anything along the road except one empty car after another, and the shops on the side of the road were empty and lifeless. I soon came to the place where the big truck where the female monster had appeared yesterday, but by this time the truck was gone, and it had become a large empty space.
"This can't be," I said to myself
But at this time all the questions I asked will not be answered, since this place has become a different appearance, then there is no need for me to dwell on this, so I turned and walked home, but then a voice caught my attention, this voice came from a small garage, it sounded like a woman calling for help, at this time I was about to walk to this garage, when a woman suddenly ran out of here, she was covered in blood, And her neck was still bleeding, then I saw her heart was very excited, I shouted to her, and she also heard my shout, but before she could run 2 meters away, suddenly a long, sharp thing burst out of the garage and stabbed her in the heart, and then she fell to the ground unconsciously, and then was slowly dragged back to the garage by this spike.
By this time, I had been completely subdued by this situation, and I collapsed to the ground and did not get up for a long time. I'm lucky, though, because I'm still some distance from that garage, otherwise
After a while I slowly stood up, and walked slowly towards home, but I was already far, far away from the garage. I didn't know what was in the garage, and I didn't want to know what it was, but the woman's brief face made a deep impression on me, and it must have been the only one of its kind I'd seen in the last two days.
When I got home, I took a short rest, and then I started a big project, I first moved a lot of wooden planks and some iron sheets from the neighborhood, of course I was transporting them by car, there must be no traffic police and no traffic lights, I can let go of drag racing. After these materials were in place, it was my own physical work, I nailed all these very heavy wooden boards to every window in the room, just staring at the windows in the room for half a day, and then I covered the top of the wooden boards, and when I finished these works it was already more than 6 o'clock in the evening, so I stopped working and went back to the basement, in the basement I slept well, Another day later, when I came out of the basement, there was almost no movement in the room, which proved that I was right to seal the house all in. Since I was right, I started working non-stop during the day, collecting the materials I wanted, and at night I slept in the basement, and I also stored a lot of food in the basement just in case.
I spent 3 weeks alone, and I was getting used to it, and although I was sometimes very uncomfortable and aggrieved, I endured it. And my home has become a fortress, and I have built a large circle of wires and power grids around the perimeter of my house, so that at night I can prevent such monsters from attacking me. Even if the outer barrier was breached, the monster would not be able to break through my thick planks and iron sheets.
I've done it perfectly, but I'd love to find another human to live with me, but I haven't found one at this point. However, I watch TV almost every day, and the Internet occasionally appears, which is the only way I can communicate with the outside world, but I have sent a lot of help messages so far and no one has responded to me, but I am not disappointed, but more positive to live. This time I ate a lot of food in a supermarket as usual and returned home, at this time my computer suddenly received an email, at this time I didn't have time to take off my clothes and hurriedly ran to the computer to open the email, this is a map, the location of the map marked a large circle of quarantine, it seems that there are a lot of people living there, and that area is also called District 13.
"District 13," I said with some excitement
Because I knew that this was the time for me to really get out of here, I took a closer look at the location of the 13th arrondissement, but to my great sadness, the location of the 13th arrondissement was actually 5 days away from me. If I give up the fortress I built and venture to Area 13, there is a good chance that I will be killed by the monsters that haunt the night on the way, and if I don't go, then I will die a slow death here, or sooner or later I will be eaten by the monsters outside. At this time, I was in a very difficult situation, but this very difficult choice was changed by one event.
On this day, I was outside looking for some wire to strengthen the outer line, but at this moment I was standing in the place where the sun shone at its highest, and at this time, a male monster appeared less than 2 meters away from me, covered in blood. At this point I was startled by its appearance, but he had not taken a few steps before he fell to the ground. At this time, I immediately ran in the direction of home, and along the way I saw a large number of monsters coming out of the shadows, and their speed was significantly faster than before, and their complexion began to turn lilac, and their appearance began to become less terrifying, but they still did not have any consciousness, but they knew to keep moving forward. I hurried home and sat down at the computer hoping to get online, but the internet wasn't very good at this point.
I was starting to think back to what I had just encountered, and I was pretty much sure that the monsters had mutated, and it had only been a month. If that's the case, then after a while, they'll probably be attacking me in broad daylight, and then my fortress won't be safe, so I didn't hesitate to pack up and prepare to go to the 13th arrondissement, no matter how far it is, and I'll have to block it for as long as I go.
At this time, I didn't bring much stuff, I just brought some necessary food and weapons for self-defense, but the weapons were all wooden sticks and sharp knives, because this is China, and I don't carry heavy weapons like the main character in the movie. So I'm more dangerous. I put these things in the car, but by this time a large number of monsters had appeared around my house, and they began to quickly approach the house I was in, but fortunately I had already got into the car and left there.
My house was breached by these monsters just after I drove out of here, and it seems that they are mutating really fast. A monster was standing in front of me, and I crashed into it without noticing, and a disgusting smell of corpses hit me, and half of the monster was still lying on the windshield of the car. At this point, I had to brake suddenly, and half of his body was thrown out of the car, and then I ran over his body and drove away.
