Chapter 49: Alternative Enlightenment

The night gradually fell silent.

It's another post-apocalyptic night, and the once brightly lit city is plunged into darkness, with only a few lights proving that there are still people in the city.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the hotel is located in the living room in the street-facing suite on the top floor of the hotel.

The dim light shrouded the living room, and Robbie and Jon stood by the window with beer cans, looking at the night outside, talking in a low voice, both of them were from the army, so naturally they had something to talk about. Outside the window, across the street, in the tall building facing the hotel, two or three beams of light could be seen, each from a different room, and it was no surprise that those people were survivors, and there were many similar lights on this street.

It looks like there are quite a few survivors on this street.

People think differently, and Don Guy is in a hurry to leave New York because he has too many scruples, thinks too much, and feels that the city is too dangerous.

And some people don't want to leave, their idea seems to be very correct, only the city can get enough food, and zombies as almost no intelligent creatures, as long as they hide in a place to hide, there will not be much danger, unless there is an explosion or someone else leads the zombie group to come over These similar accidents occur, but the probability of these accidents is not large, even if it happens, it will not necessarily affect themselves, on the other hand, on the road to leave, the dangers along the way are unknown, unless there is a full preparation, Otherwise, most people wouldn't take that risk.

The people who chose to stay in the city didn't seem to be aware of the possibility of the plague, but in fact, it was only a person with relevant knowledge like Don Ji who noticed it at once, and the others knew about the existence of the plague, and they also knew that a large number of corpses could break out of the plague, but they just didn't think about it all the time.

Jason sat on the sofa on the north side, wearing a headset and shaking his head to listen to music, his eyes sometimes closed, sometimes open, and suddenly noticed that the black girl Kelly was sitting alone on the sofa on the west side, kicking off her shoes and bending her legs, stepping on the sofa with her feet on her feet, her whole body curled up, Kelly holding her legs and chin pressed against her knees, her eyes looking at the coffee table in front of her, stunned.

Jason slowly took off the headset, his eyes sneakily glanced around, and saw Jon and Robbie standing by the window with their backs to the sofa, chatting, and then looking at Kellyti, slowly lifting his buttocks, and walking lightly to the west side of the sofa, and sitting down next to Kellyti.

Kelly shrank to the side as if suddenly frightened, and then came back to her senses and turned her head to look at Jason timidly.

Jason grinned slightly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

"Hey, don't be afraid, I'm Jason, not a bad guy, what are you thinking?" Jason looked at Kelly and smiled softly.

Kelliti looked at Jason with pursed lips, slowly lowered her head, her chin pressed against her knees, and looked at her delicate toes, without saying a word.

Jason is a very good person with a very good ability to entertain himself, even if Kelly doesn't pay attention to him, he always has something to say.

"Why don't you talk to me? I know you're not afraid of me now, what's wrong? ”

"Your hands are so beautiful, I can ...... Touch...... Forget it, when I didn't say it. ”

"Do you want to listen to music, Rihanna's new album this year, hey, seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the world suddenly became like this, I would still be going to her concert! The scene will definitely be exciting. ”

"Alas, I suddenly found out that you and Rihanna still look a little similar, are you related?"

Jason chattered, and Kelly remained silent, saying that she was speechless, no, because he could communicate with Jon alone, but if she didn't have aphasia, she could only communicate with Jon, which didn't make sense, because Jason could feel it, and Calliti wanted to speak, but she just couldn't.

But Jason doesn't care, he likes this girl who is a few years younger than himself, Don Ji told him, Kelly is a mental illness, after the end of the world, she is stimulated and has a language barrier, talk to her more, let her listen more, she may open her mouth to talk to other people.

Jason has been working silently, and he can often detect changes in expression from the corners of Kellyti's mouth, sometimes with a very subtle smile, which makes Jason feel comforted.

Old Mike and Laura have gone back to sleep, after all, older people don't have the same energy as Johnson, and they rest early. The whole suite has a total of three bedrooms, which is arranged like this, old Mike and Laura have a room, Christine and Maniela have a room, Jon and Kelly have a room, and the remaining three, Robbie, Tanji, and Jason, all sleep in the living room, this is the top suite, it can be said that as long as the main door is guarded, it is very safe, so there is no need to sleep together.

The room where Maniela and Christine were.

Christine kept crying after running in, Maniela knocked on the door for a while, Christine cried and opened the door, and then Maniela kept comforting her, she couldn't say anything accusatory, and Christine cried and cried in Maniela's arms and fell asleep, and didn't wake up until it was almost nine o'clock.

She was woken up by hunger, she didn't eat enough at noon, she exercised a lot in the afternoon, and cried once at night before she had time to eat, so it's no wonder that she wasn't hungry now.

In the room, only two bedside lamps were lit, and the light was dim.

The sheets and bedding on the bed are all new, taken out of the cabinet in the room, this kind of high-end guest room, each room has more than one set of bedding, the original ones on the bed are thrown directly out of the window, there is blood on it, there is blood on the ground in this room, but they are all dried up and condensed on the ground, and they can't be wiped clean, so the surname Suo doesn't care.

On the bed, Maniela was lying on her right, one finger still pulling Christine's hair around, her eyes looking at the chandelier overhead, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Crunch! Crunch!

Christine was lying next to Maniela, with a pillow under her chest, holding snacks in her hands and stuffing them into her mouth one by one, chewing things subconsciously, her movements were a little mechanical, and she was thinking about something, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked pitiful.

"Christine!" Maniela came back to her senses first, turned to look at Christine, and touched Christine's back through her clothes.

"What?" Christine put down her snack and turned her head to look at Maniela on the bed, her voice a little hoarse.

"You're so brave!" Maniela suddenly laughed, reached out and pinched Christine's little nose, and laughed in a low voice: "I wanted to bite him for a long time, he is really annoying and incomprehensible sometimes, I didn't expect that what I didn't dare to do, let our little Christine do it, do it beautifully!" ”

"Really?" Christine looked a little stupid all of a sudden, looking at Maneela, she didn't expect Maniela to say this, and thought that Maniela would turn her face with herself because of Tangy.

"Of course...... You don't know him when the two of us are alone...... He's weird...... He always ...... God, how can I tell you this! Maniela stopped talking as she spoke, her expression a little embarrassed.

"Why didn't you bite him?" Christine didn't care about that, she still cared about biting Don Quixie, because she was the only one who had done this, and the zombies hadn't done it, and now she knew it was a mistake, so she very much wanted someone to take on it with her.

"Because...... Because ......" Maniela's eyes rolled up as if she wanted to use any more words to describe it, and paused for a moment before she spoke: "Because he might leave me, or kill me or something, and I'm not going to have a good time anyway." Maniela was a little scary.

Christine turned her head to look at Maneela, a look of disbelief evident on her face, and slowly twisted her head back again, picked up the snack and continued eating.

"You don't believe it?" Maniela leaned in Christine's direction and asked, adding, "No wonder he doesn't like you, you still don't know him!" ”

"Then why didn't he kill me......" Christine looked at Maniela again with a tense face, still looking incredulous.

"Because you are young, you can make mistakes, and he may forgive you, because those that he can treat you as unintentional, but I can't, I ...... I'm not paranoid, I'm not mentally ill, and I'm mature enough, he knows what I used to do, I think I know a lot more than my peers, and he should also understand that if I really bite him, he will definitely think that I did it on purpose, he is too reasonable, so he may think that I want to kill him, and I can imagine what will happen to me! Maniela shook her head as she spoke, sighing a little.

"Really?" Christine looked at Maniela stupidly, still a little disbelieving.

"Believe it or not, but you'd better apologize to him alone tomorrow, or he might treat you like a psychotic girl, and although he can't hurt you, he probably will alienate you." Maniela rolled over and lay down on the bed, as if she was going to sleep.

"Got it, thanks." Christine was stunned for a moment with the snack before she said.

The night gradually became deeper.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was full of stars, and the lights in the various rooms in the suite were extinguished one by one, until there was no more light, and everyone gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Don Ji in the living room was awakened by the noise on the street.
