Outside the bus, there were some scattered zombies around, and the zombies in the community also went with the tide of zombies, and the three of them hurried to trot all the way into the Anping Lake community, Zheng Jieming ran all the way and took out the key from his pocket, and rushed to the second floor to open the door in three steps and two steps.

The old lady was stacking fruits on the table, and when she saw Zheng Jieming and his party entering the house, she welcomed them in with a smile, and cleaned up the second bedroom and the sofa in the living room for the three of them to settle down. The master bedroom is a double bed, the old lady is still resting in the master bedroom, and Chang Bing is also in the master bedroom. There was only one small bed in the second bedroom, and Zhou Jitang and Zheng Jieming discussed and decided that the two of them would take turns to sleep, and those who stayed on the sofa in the living room could just pay attention to the movement outside.

"And what about one more? Didn't you say there was an injured one? The old lady took advantage of Zhou Jitang to go to the toilet, and when Chang Bing went to visit the second bedroom, she asked Zheng Jieming in a low voice.

"He's not coming." Zheng Jieming said.

The elderly have a lot of food stored at home, but the zombie crisis has been breaking out for a few days, and the summer weather is hot, and the power system has collapsed, and those seasonal vegetables have become rotten leaves. The gas has also been cut off, and the bags of rice and noodles cannot be steamed. The old man used to just rely on eating fruit and canned food to get by, but now even if the fruit is eaten, rotten and rotten, there is not much left. There was only one box of canned meat left, about 12 of them, which could only feed four people for a day or two.

What's worse is the water, a day ago, the water also stopped, and when you turn on the faucet, you can only hear the sound of water pressure whirring, at most oozing some yellow rust water, completely undrinkable. What's more, due to the power and gas outage, even if there is water, it cannot be boiled. The old lady's family usually drinks large barrels of mineral water, and now there is more than half a barrel left, which can be used by four people for a few days.

On the other hand, there are still many zombies wandering in the four buildings of this community, and if they sit in the house and quiet a little, they can clearly hear the shouts of the zombies next door.

Everyone tidied up the rest area and gathered in the living room to discuss what to do next.

"Food and water were the biggest problem. The current stock can only last for a day or two, and more food sources must be found. Zhou Jitang said.

"Is there any way to find food?" Chang Bing asked.

"Now I can only go to the supermarket. Grandma Li, where is there a supermarket around here? Zheng Jieming asked the old lady, the old lady's surname is Li, and her name is Li Yuping.

"There is a vegetable market in the north of the community, and we usually go there to buy vegetables." Li Yuping said.

"The vegetable market is mainly vegetables and non-staple foods, many of which are sold on the same day of purchase, and they are not stored for long, and it is estimated that most of them are broken. You'll have to look for supermarkets and find ready-to-eat stuff that's packaged. Zheng Jieming pondered.

"As for the supermarket, the two of us rarely go to it, and there is one on the ground floor of the mall on the pedestrian street."

"Grandma, do you have a map?" Chang Bing asked.

"Yes! Yes! I'll go and get it for you. Grandma Li stood up, returned to the bedroom and took out a map, and everyone opened it to find the location of the community to check.

"Changchun Street is in the east-west direction, and it intersects with Zhenya Road Pedestrian Street into a crossroads, and if you go further west along Changchun Street, it is a commercial area." Zheng Jieming said.

"The commercial area is too densely populated and can be dangerous." Chang Bing recalled the corpse tide just now.

"To the north of the intersection is Zhenya Road, and to the south is Yaxin Road. Yaxin Road can also lead all the way to the lake. And there is also a supermarket here. Zhou Jitang noticed the triangle to the south of the community.

Zheng Jieming took a closer look, estimated the distance, and felt that he and Zhou Jitang could go there to have a look, there was a trolley in the supermarket, and they should be able to push back a cart of food. But before that, first of all, we should clean up the building where everyone lives now to ensure safety, otherwise we will push the food back, and once the zombies surround it, we will be in a dilemma.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jieming communicated his thoughts to Zhou Jitang, and the two decided to use the rest of the afternoon to explore the unit door to door, and then go to the supermarket early the next morning. After deciding, the two went out with kitchen knives.

This building has a total of 6 floors, and there are only 2 units on each floor. The two knocked on the door from the first floor to the door, Zhou Jitang knew how to open the lock, knocked on the door and no one opened the door or responded, if the door lock level was low, he could open the door with wire.

The two households on the first floor are no longer there, perhaps because the zombies unfortunately went out on the day of the outbreak, the two pried open the door, searched the house for some food that could be stored, and went out.

Zhou Jitang saw a bell hanging next to the TV, took it off with his hand, and put it in his arms.

"Do we look like thieves?" Zheng Jieming laughed at himself.

"I'm a thief. It's just that I'm afraid that people don't do anything more out of line. Zhou Jitang sneered, he didn't talk nonsense, this kid did do stealing chickens and dogs when he was in school. was beaten several times by his parents but it didn't work, and then he was forced to take him to another school, and after leaving his fox friends and dogs, he gradually corrected himself.

"What are you doing with this bell?" Zheng Jieming asked. He seemed to have a little hostility from Zhou Jitang's words, but he wasn't sure, and he didn't think much about it.

"You'll find out in a moment." Zhou Jitang found the door key from the drawer again, and locked the door after going out.

There is no access control system installed in this unit, only a pair of broken wooden door frames remain. Zhou Jitang tied the bell to a thin thread, and the end of the thread was tied to the doorrail, and the bell hung down, just in front of his chest. Then he tied a thread to the left and right of the bell and tied it to the side frame of the door. In this way, the wind will not make the bell ring, and the person who sees the mechanism will not make a sound if they get under the bell, but if someone or a zombie breaks in directly, the bell will be collided and make a sound.

The two continued to search upstairs, there were no other residents on the first to second floors, and in the first household on the third floor, Zheng Jieming once saw a woman with a little girl. After the two knocked lightly, the inner security door was opened, which is also a double-layer security door, and the style is the same as downstairs. A woman stood vigilantly at the door, looked him up and down through the outer security fence, and then covered her face and began to cry.

Inside the house, a girl ran over, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she immediately opened her eyes wide when she saw Zheng Jieming.

"Murderer! Murderer! He's the murderer! The girl shouted in horror. The woman held the girl tightly in her arms, still crying.

When Zhou Jitang saw this scene, he didn't speak, but the knife in his hand tightened. Zheng Jieming looked confused, murderer? Are you kidding? I didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Ling'er, stop shouting. He is not a murderer. The woman finally controlled her emotions, glanced at Zheng Jieming, and then dodged her gaze to comfort her daughter.

"Impossible! I saw it with my own eyes! He killed Grandpa! The girl screamed unrelentingly—it was her scream that had caused the zombies in the hallway to attack the door.

"Let's go... Let's go... Otherwise, the zombies should notice the sound again..."The woman looked at Zheng Jieming with a pleading face, shaking her head and said.

Zheng Jieming was messy, he thought about the previous things carefully, the old man who was limping was the wife of the old lady Li Yuping downstairs, she didn't say that her daughter or daughter-in-law lived nearby, could it be that the old man with cataracts was the grandfather of the little girl who was crying in front of him?

"Let's go! Please! My daughter loves her grandfather the most... She couldn't figure out the difference between the things out there and the living... Let's go! "The woman was almost on her knees.

Zheng Jieming had no choice but to walk to the fourth floor, and when he walked to the bend of the stairs, the woman closed the door, Zheng Jieming looked at Zhou Jitang and found that he was staring at himself, Zheng Jieming couldn't see what Zhou Jitang was thinking, he only felt a chill in his heart.

"I just killed a zombie." Zheng Jieming felt that he should explain the reason to his teammates.

Zhou Jitang didn't respond in time coldly, and it took a few seconds before he slowly spit out three words.

"Got it."

In Zhou Jitang's heart, he felt that Zheng Jieming should just kill a zombie, and the girl mistakenly thought that he had killed her grandfather. But on the other hand, Zhou Jitang's suspicion and vigilance of Zheng Jieming have irreversibly deepened.

The two continued their search. Now, except for one family on the third and fifth floors, there are either no people in the other houses, or there are only zombies.

The resident on the fifth floor is called Dong Yuan, a slightly chubby 34-year-old bachelor, who happened to oversleep when the zombie crisis broke out, and did not have time to get up to go to work. Dong Yuan simply joined Zheng Jieming and his party, and also contributed a lot of snacks. Now only the last household on the 6th floor remained, and the three of them knocked cautiously on the door.

"There's no one in this household, pry it open." Zheng Jieming said.

Zhou Jitang didn't speak, carefully opened the lock, clicked, and the door slowly opened.

"You, you can make a fortune in normal times!" Dong Yuan's saliva of envy for this skill.

"Don't mess around, Lao Tzu is engaged in security." Zhou Jitang responded lightly.

"Huh? That's interesting enough, the thief shouts to catch the thief. "Dong Yuan belongs to the type of person who has no mouth and lacks roots. Although Zhou Jitang is also open-mouthed, he has strings and weights in his head.

"Stay in and don't talk, there are zombies in the future." Zheng Jieming whispered to Dong Yuan, holding the kitchen knife tightly in his hand.

Zheng Jieming and Zhou Jitang walked straight into the house and inspected each room.

Zhou Jitang looked at the master bedroom, and saw a pair of ** men and women lying on the bed, motionless. He didn't make a sound, and gestured for Zheng Jieming to come over.

Dong Yuan stared at the bull's nose and took the first step to see the excitement coming, and when he raised his eyes, ouch! Big girl with white flowers! This saliva is flowing all over the ground, and they are almost ready to set up tents.

"Dude!" Zhou Jitang was not sure if these two were alive, he tentatively shouted a few times, but there was no response.

Zhou Jitang pushed Dong Yuan outward, and walked in cautiously, he suspected that these two people were dead, and wanted to get closer to see what was going on.

Zheng Jieming stood in front of Dong Yuan, blocked him from the door, and motioned for him not to make a sound, ready to answer Zhou Jitang.

Two ** men and women were lying flat on the bed, their eyes were calmly closed, and their skin was a little lacking in blood. Zhou Jitang stood on the side of the man's bed, Zheng Jieming also walked into the house at this time, standing at the end of the bed, Dong Yuan seized the opportunity once in 34 years to appreciate the ** of the woman in front of him.

Zhou Jitang slowly approached the man, trying to observe whether his chest was breathing, but there was no obvious sign of breathing.

Zhou Jitang looked back at Zheng Jieming, Zheng Jieming nodded, and Zhou cautiously reached forward, trying to pat the man to see if he could wake him up.

Suddenly, the man let out an extremely violent inhalation sound, opened his red eyes and straightened up from the bed, his head clicked to the right, and his body pounced to the right, his two claws firmly stuck Zhou Jitang's head, and he was about to bite when he opened his mouth.

Zhou Jitang didn't even have time to scream, and his body lost its center of gravity. said that it was too late, Zheng Jieming raised the kitchen knife and chopped down, and cut off the left hand of the male zombie with a single brush, the zombie's left hand fell to the ground, and the broken arm sprayed black blood on Zhou Jitang's face, Zhou Jitang's eyes were full of blood, and he howled and closed his eyes and fell backwards.

The center of gravity of the zombie is still in front, and it will fall on Zhou Jitang's body, Zheng Jieming hit the zombie with all his might, the zombie was hit on the bedside table, and the porcelain table lamp was crushed by it. Zheng Jieming also lost his center of gravity and fell on Zhou Jitang.

The male zombie spurted blood from his left arm, his body twisted into a strange arc, and his back was filled with porcelain pieces of table lamps, howling and turning over, and pounced on the two like hedgehogs.
