Chapter Seventy-Seven: Silent Night
The four of them went downstairs again, Hua Feng blocked the entrance of the building, although there were no zombies rushing up at this time, he was very vigilant, and he looked like a door god with a sword.
A zombie walked up slowly, Hua Feng retreated cautiously, not to be discovered by the zombies, and after the zombies walked to the corridor, he rushed over and slashed again, and then grabbed the corpse and gently put the corpse on the ground.
Because they had cleaned up the zombies in the room before, the task of Li Yimeng and the three was not difficult, but they were still cautious, for fear that there were zombies hiding in the dark somewhere, and they would suddenly rush out and take their own lives.
"Lao Zhang's hand bones are still here." Li Yimeng picked up the bones with a paper pad, put the bones in a paper bag, and set them aside. The corpse of the corpse boy was left by him in the empty house next to him.
Everyone spread the bedding and quilt on the ground, because it was not soft enough, and the weather was not cold, everyone put the bedding and quilt directly on the ground.
Jin Yue looked at the room, felt inappropriate, and took a small bucket from the next room and put it at the door.
"What does this mean? Paper baskets? Lavatory? Li Yimeng asked.
"Save weapons, save in case you sleep at night and can't find them in a hurry." Jin Yue glanced back at him.
"Careful enough." Li Yimeng said.
The bathroom itself is diagonally opposite, which saves a lot of trouble. They closed all the doors and windows.
"Is there anything left in the tool room on the third floor?" Jin Yue asked Ye Ran.
"Yes, I'll take you there."
Jin Yue entered the tool room and rummaged carefully.
"What are you looking for? There is nothing left to make weapons. Ye Ran stood aside and watched, for fear that she would make a little noise.
"I just thought, although there are no weapons, there are still ways to transform and strengthen the existing weapons." Jin Yue said confidently, and finally pulled out a box full of long nails from the shelf in the corner.
She took the nail and led everyone back to the rooftop. She then took the leg of her chair and nailed the nail through her head, leaving the tip exposed.
"Mace. This improvement is kind of interesting, and it makes up for the lack of lethality of the chair legs! Ye Ran watched with interest from the side.
Zheng Jieming picked up the chair leg with nails, looked at it carefully, shook his head, and struck the tip of the nail at the ground, and the nail immediately loosened and retreated.
"This won't work, disposable weapons, nails can't be used. Are there any pieces of iron and rope underneath? ”
Ye Ran understood what Zheng Jieming meant, and He Huafeng immediately went downstairs again and brought back iron pieces, ropes, and all-purpose glue.
Zheng Jieming coated the iron sheet with all-purpose glue, glued the iron sheet to the back of the nail cap, and then reinforced it with a rope, and at the same time, he carefully wrapped the rope around the nail to prevent the nail from bending under force. When the glue was dry, he chiseled the tip of the nail into the ground again, this time with an iron sheet blocking it, and it was much more stable.
"Not bad, not bad. The weapon 'Chair Legs' has been upgraded to the weapon 'Nail Stick'. Ye Ran watched from the side and couldn't help but complain.
"When exerting force, follow the direction of the nail as much as possible and don't bend the nail. If you can fight zombies, you can hit them sideways, don't hit your skull. Zheng Jieming said, several people got started together and made twelve nail sticks in one go.
With the new weapon, the group felt confident again, and they all took the nail stick and tried to swing it.
"You have to hit the acupuncture points, and you have to be leisurely." Ye Ran tried to swing, "Be careful not to draw your own people." ”
Li Yu and Zhang Xiushan were in a current state that could no longer fight, but the two still took one hand each.
Everyone carefully moved downstairs and did not disturb the zombies on the second floor.
"We're all crammed into this room tonight, and who's snoring at night." Jin Yue joked and wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but no one responded, and everyone's spirits were very nervous.
Night.
Li Yu found a quartz clock from the bedroom and took it to the house.
A group of people were crammed into the room, all tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Hua Feng and Ye Ran were on duty from twenty-three to one o'clock in the morning. The two sat against the wall of the hallway.
Every time Hua Feng saw Ye Ran and Leng Yuhan, he would think of his own sister Hua Hui, and guilt and pain had been secretly tormenting him.
"She doesn't have to go out to find medicine, she doesn't have to be so impulsive. If I hadn't fallen asleep that day, I could have stopped her from going out on her own. Every time Hua Feng is free, he will secretly blame himself in his heart, which is like a shackle, making him always uneasy in his heart.
He was very envious of Ye Ran, and he had his sister by his side.
"Your sister is quite brave, a head shorter than a zombie, and dares to rush to the front line." Hua Bong said that when he took Leng Yuhan with him, he sometimes unconsciously regarded her as his sister, but as soon as she spoke, reality would pull him back from the illusion - his sister was dead, and the girl and sister in front of him had no resemblance except for stubbornness and stubbornness.
"She's my cousin."
"Hmm. She's brave. ”
"That's not how she was supposed to be. I don't want her to fight so hard, I think she's actually pushing herself. Ye Ran thought about it and said.
"What about your parents and family?"
Ye Ran looked worriedly at the end of the corridor.
"Her parents are dead, and her bodies are gone." Ye Ran said in a deep voice, "My parents both live in Western Province, and I don't know their situation. ”
Hua Bong nodded sympathetically.
"I came here to study vocal music in Beidu myself, I think..." Ye Ran opened the conversation, and Hua Feng waited quietly for him to continue.
Ye Ran stopped talking and changed the topic.
"Why didn't ZF come out and maintain order? Was it all ruined in an instant? All organizations, organs, armies? Ye Ran said, he didn't wait for Hua Feng to answer, and kept talking.
"I don't know... Brother Hua, what's going on, can we survive? Ye Ran grabbed his hair, "I feel like a nightmare, everything has changed overnight... My uncle-in-law bit my aunt to death right in front of me... They were..."
Ye Ran buried his head in his knees and stopped talking.
"It's going to pass, and you're going to think it's a nightmare, it's all going to pass." Hua Feng patted Ye Ran on the back.
In the room at this time, Leng Yuhan was lying on the mattress, taking advantage of the darkness that no one could see him, and was crying quietly. She tried to bite her lip, but she couldn't bite at all, her mouth was slightly open, constantly twitching, she tried her best to endure, for fear that she would cry a little sound and be heard by others, and the quilts on both sides of her head had already been soaked with tears.
The second half of the night. Wang Yueshan and Zheng Jieming were in charge of guarding.
Zhang Xiushan was in a dream, he dreamed that his right hand was bitten by something, and he desperately wanted to shake it off, but he couldn't shake it off. When he finally shook it off, he saw a snake burrowing into the flesh from the back of his hand and crawling up his veins, and he grabbed the saw, sawing back and forth on his arm, and the pain made him sit up from his dream.
He was sweating profusely and felt his stump tingling, and he tried to go to the bathroom to calm down, but he saw a paper bag containing the bones of his arm at the door.
He seemed to see what was inside, and bent down to pick up the paper bag. He looked at the paper bag and hesitated for a moment, his left hand trembling, and he took out his own white bones. The wrists had been completely crushed, and only the bones of the two forearms remained.
He compared the bones to where his arm should have been, imagining what his right hand would look like intact, tears streaming down his face that had begun to fold. He finally couldn't stand anymore and knelt on the ground.
After a while, he put the bones back in the paper bag, put the paper bag down, and went back to lie down softly, but could not sleep again.
Wang Yueshan and Zheng Jieming sat against the wall, it was already the second half of the night, the environment became unusually quiet, and neither of them dared to speak casually.
Zheng Jieming heard Zhang Xiushan's voice waking up from his dream, and glanced at Wang Yueshan. Zheng Jieming listened intently until he heard Zhang Xiushan put down the paper bag and seemed to go back to lie down, so he was relieved.
The two of them sat quietly, the zombies on the second floor rubbed their footsteps back and forth, and the sound came up along the wall, sounding like it was coming from the next room.
"Shh Zheng Jieming reminded Wang Yueshan in a whisper, and he vaguely heard footsteps going upstairs.
The two clenched the nail sticks in their hands. Hua Feng originally planned to lend the Han sword to Zheng Jieming, but he took it in his hand and waved it and tried it, but he felt that he couldn't use it, so he gave up.
Zheng Jieming still held a leftover piece of iron in his left hand, which was square and sharp.
The zombie slowly went upstairs and hit the stool on the stairs with a thud.
The two of them mentioned in their hearts, "Oh no, it may have been a mistake to pile obstacles in the corridor at that time." ”
Wang Yueshan looked at Zheng Jieming and turned his head towards the room where everyone was resting, meaning to ask Zheng Jieming if he needed to wake everyone up.
Zheng Jieming waved his hand and moved slightly towards the staircase. He wanted to wait and see again, and try not to stir up the army until the moment of danger, after all, it was late at night, and his eyes couldn't see clearly, once a large group of zombies rushed up, it would be difficult to resist even if there were many people.
In the dark, the zombie seemed to squeeze on the table, chair and bench, and then its body shook, turned in a circle, and then staggered to the handrail of the stairs, no longer making a sound.
Zheng Jieming saw that the zombies had stopped, and his palm was gently pressed down against Wang Yueshan.
But he was still not at ease, he didn't dare to sit down, and kept watching the movement of the zombies. The zombie lay on the handrail for a moment, slid to the ground, and sat down on the steps, making a sound similar to coughing.
Suddenly, the zombie slowly turned its head back, and its red eyes stared straight at Zheng Jieming.
"Damn the brute..."Zheng Jieming burst out of his mind, and the zombie suddenly turned around and shocked him.
The zombie stared at Zheng Jieming for a while, and Zheng Jieming didn't dare to move for fear of being recognized by it. The human corpse confronted each other, and the zombie suddenly made a squeaking sound in his throat, turned around and got up from the ground, and rushed towards Zheng Jieming.
