In front of the building, which is more than ten floors high and has a flat Jinshan stone on the outer wall, a lady suddenly appeared who was dressing. She looked blankly at the street outside the door. Unconsciously, he pushed open the delicately carved bronze door. When I walked out, I saw a ruined and abandoned car scattered all over the road. A gust of wind blew, and scraps of paper floated one after another. A woman in overalls reached out and grabbed the newspaper that floated past her, spread it out and saw it full of English writing: "A virus that brings corpses back to life is ravaging Raccoon City." The woman shook for a while, threw away the newspaper, and continued walking.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to a car with a broken window, and pulled out a rifle from the driver's seat. "Click," she expertly examined her firearm. Then he looked slightly distracted, and the silent, dilapidated streets stretched to the end of the line of sight.
On the top floor of an old building next to the construction site, about 20 square meters of room, a wooden chair with a missing leg is placed on the wooden window frame, and an old laptop is now placed on it. The wooden chair leaning against the wall was tilting to the side, threatening to tip over at any moment and smash the laptop to the floor. I don't know who is so careless.
As I moved forward along the wooden chairs, I saw unwashed socks, clothes, underwear, shoes, etc., thrown all over the house, like a garbage dump. The small room, which is only more than 20 square meters, is even more crowded. What's more, there is also a large bed covering an area of four square meters, if someone comes to visit, I am afraid that I will not be able to get down. Of course, we don't know if anyone will come to his house.
Yang Bing sat on his second-hand Simmons bed from the abandoned market, quietly looking at the sky outside the window in a daze. Suddenly, a strange green light came straight from the window, and Yang Bing didn't have time to react at all, the object emitting green light had already smashed into his chest, and it melted into it in an instant.
He frantically touched the place where the green light disappeared, and he didn't feel anything, he was afraid that something strange would enter his body, so he quickly took off his coat and looked at his chest. However, nothing was found. I didn't feel at ease and checked my whole body again, but there was still no abnormality. Then he began to wonder if he was even more muttering, "I was dreaming just now." ”
As soon as he thought of this, his mind began to blur, what is wrong with me? He didn't think about it. The man fell down with this problem, and happened to pounce on the three-legged wooden chair, which of course could not bear his weight, so he threw the computer out, but one of his hands was pressing the plug of the power supply, and the flick was pulling out the power plug a little.
"Sting"
There was a bang, and the whole building was plunged into darkness.
Our perpetrator, on the other hand, was already blackened and smelled mushy from time to time. I think I'm too dead to die anymore. Just in the darkness, a green light came out of Yang Bing's black and bare head, and then flickered and disappeared without a trace.
CQ City, China
In the No. 13 corpse locker of the morgue of the unknown hospital, there was a sudden sound of "dong dong dong", and if there was a passing by now, I was afraid that I would be scared half to death.
The corpse in Cabinet 15 opened its eyes abruptly.
"Ahh A miserable hiss came from the mouth of the corpse that opened its eyes, but fortunately there was no one in the morgue at night, otherwise it would have gone viral and haunted. This corpse (let's call him a corpse) unconsciously has some strange memory fragments in his head, and maybe we can't call him a corpse anymore
Through some fragments of memory, he learned that the owner of this body was also named Yang Bing. And then the reason why he is lying here. That big block was yesterday afternoon, when Yang Bing was chatting with his colleagues, suddenly there was a piercing phone ring of "jingle bell" next door, and I saw a big-eyed beauty holding the phone and shouting angrily: "Yang Bing, phone." ”
Of course, he doesn't think what he is doing is a sign of not doing his job properly, in his dictionary, it is exercising his interpersonal communication skills. However, what is the situation, only the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.
Yang Bing said hello to the colleague, then walked slowly to his desk, first tidied up the somewhat messy desktop, and then took a slow sip of the cup, and then slowly walked over to answer the phone. It's as if he is the leader of the company, not a small staff at the bottom.
For Yang Bing, most of the company's employees admire it from the bottom of their hearts, Yang Bing's ability to communicate with people is impeccable, no matter what the environment, you can always see him chatting with strangers. However, he doesn't seem to pay much attention to anything, and he is slow to do everything, although this is not a big problem, but for the industry of drug sales, it is really not a good habit.
Yang Bing picked up the phone expressionlessly: "Hello, I'm Yang Bing." Who is it? Mr. Liu, okay, I'll come over right away. ”
Looking at Yang Bing, who was still walking slowly towards the deputy general office, all the men and women who had a good relationship with Yang Bing couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in their hearts.
In this bustling metropolis, the fast-paced work and life have gradually made people indifferent, and the emotions of colleagues who are implicated in a little fate between people are like neighbors who have been getting along for many years suddenly leaving, and they will also feel a sense of loss.
Closing the bright office door, Yang Bing sat opposite Mr. Liu in an orderly manner, just looking at Mr. Liu expressionlessly and not speaking.
Mr. Liu can't Chinese New Year's Eve today, and he is only a few years old Yang Bing. But he was fat young, with a bulging belly and a fat head and big ears. The hair is even more sparse and sparsely hanging a few on the top. If it weren't for the brand-name shirt and tie support, it would be hard to see that he was a successful person who looked like a dog.
Of course, a vicious glance can be associated with the business director of a certain insurance company.
"Xiao Yang, how long have you been in the company?" Mr. Liu asked without raising his head. It's like he didn't find out that Yang Bing existed at all. Yang Bing replied expressionlessly: "It's been about a year." ”
Without waiting for Yang Bing to continue, Mr. Liu instantly raised his head and stared at Yang Bing and said seriously: "Xiao Yang, you have been in the company for a year, and you can be regarded as an old employee." When you first joined the company, I was very optimistic about you, you are an excellent young man, I have seen your performance in this year, your persistence, your dedication, I can feel it, but the company's regulations"
Although Yang Bing's face is expressionless, he is not a young man who was born in the society, he can hear that what Mr. Liu said is foreshadowing, just like writing an article, only when the foreshadowing is done, then there will be passion.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yang, you are welcome to visit the company in the future." Mr. Liu sighed. After saying that, he took out an envelope from the drawer and placed it on the table, then stood up and stretched out his right hand to shake hands and say goodbye.
According to his imagination, Yang Bing should also stand up and shake hands with him, and then leave with a smile on his face, or curse angrily and throw his sleeves away. However, none of this happened, Yang Bing just glanced at Mr. Liu silently, then picked up the dismissal letter on the table and got up and walked out. It wasn't until Yang Bing closed the door of the office that Mr. Liu came back to his senses, but he still had a stunned look on his face. He has encountered many troubles from employees who have been dismissed, but there are really a few people like Yang Bing, at least not many times.
Standing in front of the Tianhe Pharmaceutical Sales Building, looking at the vehicles coming and going, and the crowd in a hurry. Yang Bing suddenly felt extremely confused. Although he had long expected the indifference of human feelings, he was still a little disappointed in his heart. Yang Bing shook his head, as if he wanted to throw away all his troubles, and finally walked to the bus stop without hesitation.
