Chapter 19: Blocking the Way
After the intersection, it is the west section of Changchun Street, and if you continue to walk forward, you will find Qingli Street. Zheng Jieming straightened up and trotted forward. There are not only some residential areas on both sides, but also newspapers, North Metropolis TV and other institutions.
In the courtyard of Beidu TV Station, three zombies were fighting each other, making strange sounds in their throats, and there were more than a dozen zombies around, as if they were watching. This scene is very weird, Zheng Jieming hid outside the courtyard and watched for a while, a zombie in a red T-shirt was bitten by another tall zombie, and then the female zombie wearing an OL costume grabbed the tall zombie, pulled out her red eyes, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"This female zombie, isn't it the host Hu Yue?" Zheng Jieming felt a pity in his heart, he used to like this hostess very much, and every interview show she hosted was a must-see. She has a beautiful face, and she has a strong ability to dominate and mobilize others when hosting the show, and she is especially good at creating embarrassing situations for the guests, and then inadvertently brings the words back to create an extraordinary program effect.
The tall zombie didn't let go, the throat of the red T-shirt zombie was bitten open, and although there was no heavy bleeding, some black juice oozed from the wound. The red T-shirt zombie just fell to the ground, and the female zombie "Hu Yue" suddenly waved her claws, and the tall zombie was knocked down. The female zombie "Hu Yue" leaned over the tall man, gouged out another red eye, swallowed it in the same gulp, and then raised her head and let out an unusually sharp roar at the sky.
Zheng Jieming was worried that this voice would attract other zombies, so he quickly turned around and looked, but fortunately, no zombies came.
But the group of "spectator" zombies around the "Huyue" female zombies moved, and they suddenly swarmed up and pounced on the "Huyue" female zombies as if they had gotten some signal.
"Do zombies fight with each other? Do they have intelligence? Zheng Jieming was dumbfounded. He thought that the female zombie of "Huyue" would also be torn to pieces by the group of bloodthirsty demons around him, gouging out his red eyes and eating them.
But in the next second, the "Huyue" female zombie stood up from the group of corpses and squeezed out the group of corpses that were eating the corpses step by step.
Zheng Jieming only felt creepy, and he suddenly felt that his understanding of "zombies" might be far from enough.
"Don't look at it yet, let's go, I don't know what is going on at the medical school." Zheng Jieming urged himself, he really couldn't stand this incomprehensible picture.
Continuing westward, Zheng Jieming passed another commercial office building and arrived at another crossroads.
To the west of this intersection is Qingli Street, to the south is South Guihua Road, and to the north is the direction that Zheng Jieming is going to - North Guihua Road. The Second Medical College of Beidu is on the west side of Beiguihua Road, but you need to go all the way north.
Mr. Zheng had sold goods to the hospital -- the company could sell anything, and he had also dumped medical equipment. Therefore, Zheng Jieming is quite familiar with the area of Qingli Street. The most convenient way to get to the medical school from here is to take the North Guihua Road directly, and you can reach the main entrance of the medical school. In addition to this road, you can also turn crooked north from an alley on Qingli Street, which leads to the back door of the medical school.
Zheng Jieming was of course willing to go to the front door, but when he turned to the right, he found that there was no way through this road.
In the middle of North Guihua Road, not far from the intersection, three large buses twisted and crashed together, their bodies pitch black, apparently experiencing an explosion. Next to it was an ambulance, the back door of which was wide open, and a stretcher was lying on the ground. A black off-road vehicle was on top of the ambulance chassis, the body was badly deformed, the front windshield was shattered into a spider web, and it was also closely followed by a red business class, which was obviously the culprit for the ambulance rollover. Two police cars were parked next to them, their doors wide open, and a short distance away were a large number of private cars and buses jammed together.
The entire road is cut off by these abandoned vehicles, leaving only narrow spaces on the sidewalks on both sides, but the sidewalks on both sides are full of zombies. The yellow vest of Jiaoj, the white coat of the nurse, the blue jacket of the bus driver, and all kinds of pedestrians, they have all turned into zombies, wandering at this crossroads that make them die.
Zheng Jieming felt very uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't have time to be sentimental, so he had to choose to carefully pass through the intersection, to Qingli Street, and walk from the small alley to the back door of the medical school.
The small alley is located in the middle of an office building and a comprehensive shopping mall, not far from the crossroads. At the mouth of the alley, there is a grinding iron coffee shop, which has set up an awning, and the side of the shed is promoting the works of Zhongzhou Lao Jiu, writing "Please recommend the collection of "The Betrayal of the Doomsday of the Zombies". On weekdays, the business of the store is very good, and Zheng Jieming once drank coffee here, which tasted pure.
Further west of the small alley, Zheng Jieming saw a group of zombies moving, and the zombies seemed to have a certain cluster, and they were more willing to gather together than to be alone. Since the zombie outbreak coincided with the morning rush hour, zombies were especially dense in this kind of commercial area.
Zheng Jieming entered the alley with a cat, this alley goes a little inside, are all kinds of old-fashioned bungalows, the North City ZF and KF merchants once wanted to demolish this bungalow, into high-end residential and commercial buildings, but because the people here are too strong, the asking price is too exaggerated, has not yet formed a truly effective construction plan here.
The bungalows on both sides were in tatters, and most of the doors were opened towards the alleys, Zheng Jieming walked cautiously all the way, for fear that a group of zombies would rush out of the wooden door and press him to the ground.
"Speed it up!" Zheng Jieming saw that there was no danger along the road, and decided to run at full speed through this winding alley.
He had just accelerated less than a hundred meters when he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground - he heard a strange sound carried by the wind in front of him, and he stopped urgently, not standing still.
"Is it a cry!?" Zheng Jieming pricked up his ears, it seemed to be a little girl's voice, but when he listened carefully, he felt that it was not natural.
There was a turn in front of the alley, and he couldn't see the situation in front of him, so he didn't dare to move forward rashly.
"What to do? Do you keep moving forward or going backwards? Zheng Jieming thought in his heart, "If you continue to move forward, is there a person or a ghost in front of this?" If you go back, where else can you go to medical school? ”
North Guihua Road was blocked, and there were a large number of corpses on Qingli Street, leaving only this small alley.
He decided to stand up and look cautiously ahead.
In front of me, a girl sat in the middle of the path with her back to her, looking at her back, she was seventeen or eighteen years old, her clothes were dirty, she couldn't stop crying, her voice was extremely sad, and her voice sounded hoarse.
"Girl?" Zheng Jieming shouted tentatively.
The girl didn't respond.
Zheng Jieming took a bold step forward, he thought to himself, this girl must have suffered a tragic accident to be so sad.
"Girl? It's okay, do you want me to help you? Zheng Jieming almost walked behind the girl, he reached out and patted her back.
The girl screamed, turned her head violently, her neck was almost twisted back 180 degrees, and her long hair was thrown on Zheng Jieming's knees like a whip.
Her eyes are red!
it! This is a zombie!!
Zheng Jieming gasped and slashed at the zombie's head, but he couldn't move at all! He turned around and ran away, and the girl zombie got up with great agility, chasing Zheng Jieming with teeth and claws, screaming. Zheng Jieming only heard the sound of the girl zombie behind him getting closer and closer, and saw some pots and pots of abandoned fish tanks standing at the door of a family in front of him, he rushed up and pulled it to the middle of the road, and all kinds of porcelain and glassware were shattered to the ground, leaving debris all over the ground.
The girl's zombie chased after it quickly, presumably stepping on the debris and letting out a painful, intermittent howl, but this only slowed it down slightly, and it continued to chase towards Zheng Jieming.
Zheng Jieming didn't dare to turn back at all, and ran wildly all the way, lifting the things piled up at the door of each household to the middle of the road, dustpans, flowers and plants, rotten mops and brooms, and old vest shorts that were drying. Anything that could be torn off easily, he smashed it back, regardless of whether it could hinder it or not.
The entrance of the alley was in front of him, and Zheng Jieming rushed out and ran to Qingli Street, but found that he still had nowhere to escape!
To the west, the group of corpses wandering on Qingli Street just now was walking towards the crossroads, and there were even some guys who looked bigger.
To the east, in the direction of the intersection, I don't know when, a group of corpses also poured over from the direction of South Guihua Road, and they happened to be passing through the intersection and moving towards North Guihua Road.
As soon as he turned around, the girl behind him was running towards him with red eyes on her knees and palms covered with glass slag and broken porcelain!
There is nowhere to run!
Zheng Jieming only felt that adrenaline was rushing, and he looked around quickly.
Mill Iron Cafe!
The awning of the grinding iron coffee shop at the entrance is connected to the second floor. On the exterior façade between the first and second floors, there is a slight horizontal edge, which is a design that many buildings have, and the main purpose is to facilitate drainage. Zheng Jieming didn't have time to think about it at all, and jumped on the coffee table on the awning more than two meters high.
If it is a general khaki awning, where can it withstand excessive weight? Fortunately, there is a layer of iron shelf in the awning of this grinding iron coffee house, which can support it for a while longer, Zheng Jieming lay flat on it, and he didn't dare to come out, so he slowly climbed in the horizontal direction, for fear of crushing the shed.
Below, the girl's zombie had already rushed out of the alley, it was still screaming, this miserable and painful scream attracted the nearby corpses, and the two waves of corpses in the east and west rushed towards the small alley at the same time.
Zheng Jieming couldn't take care of these terrifying scenes behind him, rubbed towards the horizontal edge little by little, and finally grabbed the horizontal edge. At the moment when they climbed the edge, the corpses rushed through the awning of the coffee house, knocking it down entirely.
Zheng Jieming leaned against the wall on the second floor, looking at the surging tide of corpses below, and almost fainted.
