Chapter Sixty-Six: The Frightened Bird
Qian Mu looked at the intersection vigilantly, and raised the telescope from time to time - this was He Yuhang's telescope, and Zhang Xiushan brought it back.
Wang Shuangman didn't get the same feeling as Chang Bing, she was also on the rooftop, but she still felt depressed, the roar of zombies came into her ears from time to time, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Moreover, she saw at a glance that this telescope was He Yuhang's relic, and she felt quite uncomfortable. She had the feeling that her family had worked hard, but she had made wedding dresses for other survivors.
"Don't think so, He Yuhang died with a heart of revenge, and he can't blame others." Wang Shuangman kept trying to regulate herself, and she didn't want her mentality to be unbalanced.
"What the hell? What is it! Qian Mu suddenly burst out in a low voice.
He vaguely saw a shadow jumping across the intersection, but he couldn't see it clearly. He couldn't tell if it was an illusion or not, and raised his binoculars to take a closer look.
But when I picked up the binoculars, I only saw the corpses on the north side of the road, and the zombies moving little by little, and I couldn't find the shadow I saw just now.
"What's wrong? Are they back? Zhang Xiushan heard Qian Mu's voice, he didn't pay much attention, he looked at the intersection and didn't find anything abnormal.
"It's not... I don't know..."Qian Mu handed the binoculars to Zhang Xiushan and rubbed his eyes.
Zhang Xiushan took the telescope in Qian Mu's hand and checked it carefully, except for seeing a zombie lying on the side of the car vomiting, and two zombies tearing each other's shoulders, everything was normal.
"Brother Zhang, you go down directly to remind Sister Jin, I won't shout, so as not to attract zombies." Qian Mu felt a discordant atmosphere, "I think there's something wrong, I did see something, but I'm not sure... Hope I'm wrong. ”
Zhang Xiushan returned the binoculars to Qian Mu, turned his head and was about to go downstairs, when he noticed that the two women were still on the rooftop.
"You two come down too, and go back to the house first."
Wang Shuangman and Chang Bing didn't know what Qian Mu and Zhang Xiushan saw, but when they saw the vigilant and suspicious expressions of the two, they also sensed a trace of tension and walked towards the stairs.
Everyone went downstairs, and Qian Mu stayed upstairs by himself, carefully and nervously observing the surrounding movements.
He suddenly saw a shadow jump into the courtyard of the small building very quickly, and went around to the back of the building.
"Holy! Isn't it, something? Qian Mu held the telescope in one hand and the knife tightly in the other.
He hesitated, deciding that he still wanted to shout a shout to the downstairs.
Qian Mu approached the edge of the rooftop, and just as he put his head out of the railing, a dark shadow climbed up from the roof behind him and pounced on his back.

Zheng Jieming and his entourage were not far from the small building, they walked out of the bungalow area and were about to go towards Qian Mu's hotel.
"Do you want to leave the car first? Less than one road? Qi asked first.
"Don't mind, just push it, don't get in the way. Anyway, in broad daylight, there are fewer zombies here. Dong Yuan said, "Pushing the cart has a sense of security." ”
The four of them slowed down and cautiously crossed Zezhong Road.
This road was flooded with corpses only a short time ago, and now it has dispersed. These corpse tides seem to come and go quickly, and there is no regularity to be found.
"Qi Xian, you watch the wind at the door, look at the car, if there are zombies coming, call us quickly." Zheng Jieming parked the shopping cart on the side of the road, "Hurry up, take the pot and leave, if there are materials that you can easily take, bring them with you, don't delay." ”
The three of them went straight to the back kitchen, and Dong Yuan walked out with the big black pot on his back.
"Bring a scoop or something!" Zheng Jieming asked Ye Ran to take care of the scattered things, while he walked to the storage room next to him and grabbed a sack of potatoes and carried it on his shoulder.
He passed by the stove, and the big black cauldron was carried away by Dong Yuan, and only a black hole was left on the stove.
Zheng Jieming stared at this hollow, and he couldn't express the uneasiness in his heart, but he couldn't find a reason.
As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, he suddenly heard a rushing sound behind him, which was like a group of people running, more like something rolling down the stairs, but there were no stairs in the kitchen.
"Me!" Zheng Jieming instinctively lowered his head and bent forward, and the sack containing potatoes was thrown to the ground by him as soon as he let go, he took out his pistol and turned to the kitchen.
Qi first supported the car, Dong Yuan had already walked to the door, and was putting the cauldron on the shopping cart, Ye Ran followed behind him, just put away the stir-fry cooking tools, and the three of them also heard the sound at the same time, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at the house.
Qi Xian was a little bolder among the three, and gently walked towards the restaurant step by step with a hammer.
The strange sound stopped, Zheng Jieming and Qi Xian still faced the back kitchen, not daring to make a sound.
"What sound?" Qi Xian asked Zheng Jieming gently.
Zheng Jieming put his left index finger on his lips, signaled not to speak, pointed the gun in front of him, and slowly moved in.
Probably a hunter.
Zheng Jieming thought to himself.
If it's a hunter, shoot it with one shot!
But when he leaned into the kitchen, he found that it was only because he pulled out the potatoes that the tall piles of materials in the utility room were unbalanced and rolled off the floor.
"What a frightened bird." He excused himself and walked out.
"What's that?" Qi Xian asked Zheng Jieming nervously.
Zheng Jieming's heartbeat hasn't returned to its normal rhythm yet, "It's okay, I'm forced to take potatoes and get everything out." He picked up the sack of potatoes from the ground and quickened his pace.
"Let's go. Hurry back and don't feel good. Zheng Jieming put the potatoes in the car, and the cart was about to leave. It was noon at this time, and the thin cloud that had blocked the sun just now had drifted away, and in the hot air, everyone always felt that there was a shadow in their hearts.

Zhang Xiushan ran downstairs and made a hurried footsteps.
"What's wrong! What's wrong! What's up?! Li Yu woke up from his sleep and kept asking. Wang Yueshan was still snoring quietly.
Jin Yue ran in from the door, "What's the matter, Lao Zhang?" Tap and let Li Yu and them sleep for a while. ”
"A few of us are upstairs, and Qian Mu seems to have seen something." Zhang Xiushan said.
"What's that?" Jin Yue asked.
"Uh... I don't know..."Zhang Xiushan couldn't explain clearly, he looked at Jin Yue blankly.
"What do you see in broad daylight? Are you mistaken? Jin Yue was a little unhappy, she felt that Li Yu had finally rested for a while, but was disturbed.
"I didn't see it... But Qian Mu..."
Before Zhang Xiushan finished speaking, he only heard a scream from Leng Yuhan outside the house, and something fell to the ground heavily.
"What's going on?!" Before Zhang Xiushan could calm down, Jin Yue immediately rushed out of the door.
A man fell to the ground with his face on his stomach, his head twisted at an odd angle, his neck apparently broken, and a knife clutched in his hand.
Li Yu chased out and saw the corpse, squatted down, and turned the corpse over to check.
"It's Qian Mu." Li Yu shook his head, "I've already fallen to my death." ”
Jin Yue covered her face, she didn't dare to imagine that a person who was still alive and well sorting food with her before fell to death in front of her for some reason.
"The third floor... How could you fall to your death on the third floor? Zhang Xiushan couldn't imagine that the two of them were still talking before.
"He fell headfirst" Hua Feng and Leng Yuhan were at the door, and the two witnessed the moment Qian Mu fell to the ground, and the place where the body fell was less than two meters away from Leng Yuhan.
Li Yu looked at the roof of the building, the edge of the building was clearly demarcated from the blue sky, and there was nothing abnormal.
"Could it be suicide?" Hua Feng protected Leng Yuhan in his arms and asked Li Yu.
Li Yu shook his head, "I don't know, but I don't think it's like it, he has been fine, there is no reason to commit suicide." ”
He suddenly turned his head and asked Zhang Xiushan, "What did you just say you saw?" ”
"I didn't see anything, Qian Mu said he saw something dangling across the intersection, but he didn't see it clearly." Zhang Xiushan was extremely flustered.
"Did Chang Bing and Wang Shuangman come down?" Li Yu asked.
"Down, come down with me."
"What did the two of them see?"
"Boss, I don't know! Why don't I call them down and ask!? ”
"No need."
If it's caused by zombies, where are the zombies? It's impossible not to eat corpses? And there are no bite marks on Qian Mu's body. Li Yu even suspected Zhang Xiushan in a flash, but he immediately dispelled this unreliable idea.
At this time, Zheng Jieming and the other four also rushed back to the small building with three truckloads of supplies.
Hua Feng and Jin Yue immediately went downhill to pick up and help carry the car up.
"It's... Qian Mu? What happened to him? Zheng Jieming saw the corpse lying on the ground.
"Don't worry about Qian Mu first, it just so happens that Zheng Jieming is back, everyone hurry back to the house and close the door." Li Yu's unease is also intensifying.
Everyone pushed the shopping cart into the house, Qi first pulled out the knife held in Qian Mu's hand, and also took it into the house, Hua Feng and Dong Yuan installed the three checkpoints on the door.
"Ground floor kitchen drain! Dong Yuan, you hurry up and find something to suppress. Li Yu commanded Dong Yuan. Dong Yuan moved a vegetable cabinet and pressed it on top of the sewer channel.
"What else is the entrance? The windows are never opened! Zheng Jieming asked Li Yu.
"I've checked them all, and the windows are fine." Li Yu suddenly thought, "Lao Zhang! Have you three come down and close the lid on the top floor? ”
Zhang Xiushan patted his head and ran upstairs directly, "It's not closed!" Qian Mu was on it just now! ”
Zheng Jieming also caught up.
Li Yu took out his gun and did a good job of vigilance, and now the people with guns in their hands are Li Yu, Zheng Jieming, and Zhang Xiushan.
Zhang Xiushan ran to the third floor in one go, climbed the stairs, and closed the entrance.
"It's safe." Zhang Xiushan said to Zheng Jieming while climbing down the stairs.
Zheng Jieming ran up and looked up at Zhang Xiushan.
Suddenly, Zheng Jieming felt a cool chill coming from the right side, and he turned his head to the right to look.
At the end of the dimly lit corridor, a child-sized object crouched in the corner, staring at him with red eyes.
"Nima... What the hell is this? ”
Before the words fell, the thing was like an arrow off the string, flying towards Zheng Jieming at a very fast speed.
