Chapter 5: The Living
Today's second chapter, although the current number of words in this book is very small, but the quality and quantity of the back can definitely be guaranteed, it is not easy for newcomers, I would like to ask you to be able to add this book to the shelf, it is just a gesture for you, but it is of great significance to the author, I am grateful, if you can vote a few votes, then thank you even more!
At this moment, on the side of the road on the left side of Xie Tian, there is a residential community called International City, the environment in the community is naturally much more complicated than the straight street, compared to the zombies without IQ, the more complex the environment, the more beneficial it is to themselves, and the community is so large, if you can be lucky enough to encounter a unit door that has not been closed, you can use it to dodge.
Xie Tian suddenly turned around, rushed to the gate of the community, and rushed to his zombie a little slower by half a beat, and then followed behind him, to say that Xie Tian in the past, although his physical strength was good, it was difficult to outrun the zombies, but now he has a much stronger physical fitness than before, and the speed when running is very fast, and the physical fitness can completely keep up, and even the breathing is orderly and very symmetrical.
After running into the International City, Xie Tian hurriedly turned after passing the first row of buildings, while running, while observing the situation of the unit door of the residential building, the zombies are now about a hundred meters behind him, if he can find an unlocked unit door, he will have enough time to rush in and block the zombies out of the door, of course, the premise is that the door lock of the unit door must be able to be used normally, even if he can't, he can rely on the narrow stairs as a defense to avoid a frontal conflict with a large number of zombies, and if you shoot in the corridor, It's much safer than shooting in the street!
It's just that Xie Tian's luck is a little bad, after two buildings in a row, only one unit door is open, but unfortunately, Xie Tian was chased by the zombies, and the two zombies in the unit door were attracted out, as long as the zombies locked the living, they would endlessly follow behind them, Xie Tian had no chance to go back at all, and could only be chased by more than a dozen zombies, running with all his might in the originally small community.
It has almost reached the dead end of the community, Xie Tian's luck is not an ordinary back, along the way through several buildings have not been able to find a suitable place to hide, seeing that there is no way ahead, Xie Tian can only carry a knife to turn around and face the zombies that are getting closer and closer, while carefully retreating, while thinking about how to deal with these more than ten zombies, there is a pistol on his waist, which is considered to have added a bit of capital to himself, no matter what, he has to fight to the death!
At this moment, Xie Tian happened to retreat to a closed unit door, and was about to take out a gun to fight back, at this time, the closed iron door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure appeared in the corridor inside the door. ”
Zombies can't speak, Xie Tian understands this very well, hearing the other party speak, Xie Tian also knows that the other party is not a zombie, when even if he hurriedly rushed in, Xie Tian flashed past the woman, and the woman hurriedly closed the unit door, and locked the door lock from the inside.
The zombies chasing after him arrived in the next second, banging frantically on the unit door, trying to break through the obstacles and rush in to have a full meal.
However, even if the physical strength of zombies is stronger than that of ordinary people, for the steel welded door, their constant slapping is just insignificant, and it does not play the slightest role.
Xie Tian glanced at the woman in front of him, this was the only living person he had seen all the way, but she looked extremely sloppy and down, only to see that she was wearing a dirty dress that had lost her original color, about 168 cm tall, her body was very delicate, her face was covered with dust, and she couldn't even see her appearance clearly, her messy long hair exuded a sour smell of [***], but Xie Tian's own body didn't smell good, so he didn't care.
Surviving under the end of the same day, Xie Tian couldn't help but feel a feeling of sympathy for her, Xie Tian glanced at her more, and said: "Let's go in quickly, otherwise these zombies will not stop, in case more zombies are attracted to block the door, it will be troublesome." ”
The girl nodded, followed Xie Tian into the interior of the stairwell, Xie Tian found that there were two houses on each floor of the unit here, on both sides of the elevator, but the entire Yangcheng had long been out of power supply, Xie Tian just glanced at it, then climbed up the stairs, came to the corner of the stairs between the first and second floors, and sat down against the wall.
The girl's speed was a little slow, she grabbed the railing with both hands, and it seemed to take a lot of effort to take each step, so Xie Tian hurriedly got up and walked down, grabbed the girl's arm without saying anything, and pulled her up.
"Is it just you here?" The two of them sat opposite each other against the wall, and Xie Tiancai asked.
"Hmm." The girl nodded lightly and said, "I've been hiding here for three days, this building has a total of 22 floors, I've checked them all, the doors of every house are closed, and there are no zombies, so it's relatively safe here." ”
The girl's voice was very good, and it seemed to be a little familiar, but Xie Tian couldn't remember it for a while, and when she heard the girl say this, her heart was relieved, and she was very glad to say: "Thanks to you just now, if you hadn't opened the door in time, I'm afraid I would be in danger." ”
The girl smiled slightly and said, "I was going to go out, but I didn't expect you to appear suddenly, so I didn't think too much about it at the time, so I opened the door so that you could come in quickly." ”
Xie Tian was a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't it safe here?" Wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to go out rashly, a girl? ”
The girl was silent for a moment, and said in an extremely helpless tone: "I have been hiding here for three days, and I haven't eaten for two days, and I am afraid that if I continue to consume like this, I will starve to death here, so I want to fight for the end." ”
Hearing this, Xie Tian did not hesitate to take off the hiking bag he was carrying behind him, rummaged for a long time, handed over a can of 500 grams of canned beef and an unopened bottle of vitamin drink, and said, "You can eat something first." ”
The girl stared at Xie Tian with wide eyes and asked in shock, "Are you going to give me this food and water?" ”
"yes." Xie Tian nodded and said, "Since you have been allowed to eat it, of course it is for you." ”
"But" the girl wanted to say something, but swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, staring at the can in Xie Tian's hand without blinking, unable to say a word.
Xie Tian didn't know what she was afraid of, so he put the food and water on the ground and pushed it over, and said, "If you hadn't opened the door at a critical time just now, I'm afraid I would have been unlucky, these foods can be regarded as repaying you, don't worry, I don't mean anything else." ”
The girl glanced at Xie Tian gratefully and said, "Thank you!" Since the outbreak of loss, no one has ever given food to someone without asking for anything in return, and we have never known each other."
Xie Tian smiled dismally and said: "There are fewer and fewer living people to see, it is fate to be able to see it, just a little food, and I keep it to live one more day." Saying that, looking at the girl, he said very sincerely: "You haven't eaten for so long, eat this bottle of canned food first, if it's not enough, I still have it here." ”
The girl's big eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist, and then, she nodded slightly, silently took the can in her hand, and grabbed the pull ring with her fingers and tried hard to open it, but she tried twice without success, which shows how weak her body is.
Xie Tian walked over and squatted in front of her, took the can, and lifted the entire metal top cover with all his might, and the aroma of beef suddenly dispersed.
"Oh, let's eat." Xie Tian handed the can to her again, the girl took the can, the strong hunger and the aroma of the beef, made her almost without thinking about reaching out her hand, wanting to pinch out the beef slices in the can directly with her hands, but looked up at Xie Tian, stopped moving, hesitated for a long time, and finally withdrew her hand.
Xie Tian could see that even under this intense hunger, the other party still had not lost the reserve that a girl should have, and eating in front of a man without regard for her image was probably unacceptable to many girls, so she opened her mouth and said: "You eat first, I'll go up and see, can I find a way to open the door of a family, or settle down temporarily." ”
"Don't!" The girl blurted out: "You don't know the situation in the house, what if the family inside becomes a zombie!" ”
Xie Tian smiled slightly, picked up the machete, held it in his hand, and said: "Don't be afraid, besides, even if there are zombies, it's nothing, the zombie virus has been breaking out for more than a month, and those zombies have been locked in the room, and they can't eat since the mutation, and the attack power is not too strong." After speaking, Xie Tian instructed again: "You haven't eaten for a long time, so don't eat too fast or too much, it's better to eat slowly in several times." ”
The girl nodded and whispered, "Then be careful yourself." ”
The girl has said before, the 22 floors she has checked, every door is closed, and Xie Tian will not unlock, the quality of the current security door is so good, it is impossible to force in by yourself, but Xie Tian at this time thought of his mother, from the time he can remember, although the family has moved several times, but my mother has a habit that has been maintained, that is, she always loves to hide a key in a hidden place at the door, in case of emergency, Xie Tian doesn't know if the people of Yangcheng also have this habit, but it's still worth trying.
Finally, it took Xie Tian a long time to find the key to an anti-theft door at the bottom of the utility cabinet in front of the east door on the 16th floor.
Before preparing to enter the door, Xie Tian took out the pistol on his waist, clenched it with his right hand, and gently inserted the key into the lock hole with his left hand, and twisted the key very carefully to open the door.
But waited patiently for more than a minute, there was still no movement in the door, Xie Tian kicked the metal security door with his foot, made a few loud noises, and waited for a while, if there are zombies in the room, hearing the movement, they must rush out desperately, and there has been no movement for so long, presumably this house should be clean.
Although he thought so, Xie Tian still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and carefully entered the door with a gun, first checked the entrance, dining room, and living room, and found no shadow of zombies, and then opened the door of the room inside one by one, two bedrooms and a study, you can be sure that there are no zombies, and the wardrobe in the bedroom looks very messy, it seems that the original owner seems to have packed some clothes in a hurry, so he left here in a hurry and ran for his life.
