Chapter 8: Maneela's Heart

Of course, the roller shutter door of the convenience store is used for anti-theft, and the white iron color is quite strong, but it still makes the zombie slap a little deformed in a short time, and if it continues for a while, the entire roller shutter door will definitely be broken.

Fortunately, the zombies don't have a high IQ and don't have a high memory, and after two minutes of tapping on the shutter door, they stopped, seemingly forgetting the purpose of the original slap on the shutter door, and naturally not remembering that a human had slipped into it just two minutes ago.

Tang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, kept squatting on the ground for two minutes and remained motionless, his legs were slightly numb, his eyes suddenly rushed from light to darkness, even if there was a slight light source, he would not be able to see clearly, but after a long time, his eyes would adapt to the darkness, and Tang Ji could already see the scene in the convenience store in the haze.

The whole convenience store is less than 50 square meters, there is no back door, there are three rows of shelves, in addition to the wall by the door, the other three walls are also attached to the wall to hang some goods, including some children's toys, some department stores, and some very cheap kitchen utensils, all kinds of goods on the shelves are also placed very neatly, most of them are food, the position on the right side of the roller shutter door is the cash register, and the counter is also hung with the latest poster of "Coca-Cola", the whole convenience store is very tidy and has not suffered any damage.

Tang Ji gently tugged Manilla, who didn't dare to move, and stood up and moved his legs.

"Follow me!" Don Ji kept his voice to a minimum, and led Maniela to the innermost part of the convenience store before he dared to speak in a slightly louder voice, "There are cheap travel bags on the shelves over there, put the two together to make it stronger, there is food on the shelves, try to find food that lasts a long time in it...... If you like anything, you can take it, just remember that it will make too much noise, it's dark here, be careful. ”

Maniela nodded, her eyes sensitive to light in the dark, a little reflective, much brighter.

After saying that, Tang Ji was about to turn around and walk to him, but Manila hesitated and suddenly grabbed Tang Ji.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ji asked back.

"Thank you!" Maniela whispered, as if thanking Don Guy for saving her.

Don Guy smiled strangely and didn't speak, this smile can be understood as helplessness, it can also be understood as distress, it's too dark, Manila can't see clearly at all, Don Ji is about to leave again, Maniela pulls him again.

"What's wrong again?" Tang Ji frowned slightly, he hated troublesome women.

"You...... You...... I mean you ......" Maniela was very hesitant, but it seemed that there were some things that had to be asked, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, looked at Tang Ji's dark eyes and said seriously and quickly: "Did you already plan to give up on me when you just ran out?" I can help you attract the attention of the zombies so that you can leave more calmly, only later...... You ......," Maniela said, smiling.

"It's not funny." Don Ji interrupted her.

"I'm not ......" Maniela seemed to sense that she had said something wrong and wanted to defend herself.

"You remember, I didn't plan to take you with me, I only said you could follow me, understand?" Tang Ji raised his hand and pointed at the tip of Maniela's nose, his eyes stared at his eyes, and his tone was stiff: "It's your choice whether you follow me or not, and then I saved you because I was still a person, I can't watch you die in front of my eyes, that's all, I may not be a good person, but my heart is not as dirty as you think." After saying that, Tang Ji turned his head and walked to the area where the convenience store put cheap kitchen utensils and department stores, and didn't look at Maniela.

In the dark, Maniela looked at Don Guy's back in a daze, squatted down and hugged her legs, a little distracted, she had always thought of herself as a amorous woman, every man who saw her wanted to sleep with her, there was no shame, a woman's charm depended entirely on the man's attitude towards her, and in recent days, she found that her charm had failed, and this mixed-race man who looked a few years older than him did not seem to be conquered by his charm.

In the same bookstore, a book about the psychology of a woman may be a thousand pages, and a book about the psychology of a man may be only a hundred pages, the former may be only a condensed version, while the latter may be an expanded version. A woman's heart is the most difficult to fathom, and there is a limit to people's patience, and Maniela suddenly found that she suddenly seemed to hate Tanji, which contained some elements of shame.

Because Tang Ji always embarrassed her a little.

After being distracted for a while, she stood up silently, Maniela walked to the side and dragged down two cheap travel bags from the wall, put them together according to what Tang Ji said, and then walked by the three rows of shelves in the center, stuffed the packaged food on the shelves into the travel bag without looking at it, and filled the long and small travel bag half full, about a dozen kilograms, Maniela carried the travel bag to the cash register, and took chewing gum, cigarettes, chocolates and many other gadgets and put them in the travel bag.

Bypassing the cash register to the back of the cash register, Maniela crouched down and rummaged, she was looking for a gun, convenience stores usually have guns, legal guns, but I don't know if the owner will take the gun back at night.

After searching for a while, Maniela didn't find what she wanted, and with a look of disappointment flashing between her eyebrows, she casually opened the drawer at the cash register.

Jingle bells!

A crisp prompt sound, still harsh in the quiet convenience store, Maniela's movements froze, and Tang Ji's movements on the other side of the convenience store also froze, and there was silence for a while, and after about a minute, no zombies came to knock on the door, and the two of them began to work again.

Maniela looked down at the change in the small compartments in the drawer, it was not much, it probably only added up to a hundred dollars, it should be the money that the owner left for the next day's business to make change, and the previous day's business income was taken away.

Money!

Maniela used to sell her body again and again for this man to play with, but now, in the face of the money at her fingertips, Maniela did not take it, the money has no value at all in the last days, looking at the money, Maniela does not know whether to laugh or cry...... Some things are good to think about a little, and thinking too much is only to add to the sadness.

With everything in order, Maniela slung her duffel bag over her shoulder and walked over to Don Ji on the other side of the convenience store.

"What's that?" Maniela asked in a low voice, her tone seemed much more flat, even with a little dissatisfaction, and she didn't know what she was dissatisfied with.

Tang Ji put down the pliers on his right hand, turned the thing in his hand with his left hand, and said, "Spear!" ”

Of course, there can't be a spear in a convenience store, what Tang Ji is talking about is an object similar to a spear that he made with what is available in the convenience store, in short, it is a hollow stainless steel mop rod, plus a kitchen utensils and vegetable knife with the shape equivalent to a dagger, and the two are combined and tied together with iron wire, making a simple thing, although it looks a little ridiculous, but the lethality can definitely not be ignored, in the face of a large number of zombies who are not afraid of death, long-handled weapons are more conducive to their own defense, Tang Ji was busy working on this thing for a while, and made a total of two.

"It's yours!" Tanji handed Maniela a "spear".

"What are you going to do?" Maniela asked in a low voice, since the stainless steel pipe was hollow and not heavy, Maniela could carry it with one hand.

"Wrap it up for me!" Tang Ji stood up with the "spear", took the not heavy travel bag from Maniela's hand, hung it on his shoulder, Tang Ji said: "Get out of here immediately, I looked outside before I came in just now, the number of zombies has decreased a lot, most of the zombies have been led to another street, I plan to go to the north of Oak Street, turn left at the intersection into Viggo Street, there is a parking lot, find a car that can drive away, and then leave here." ”

"It's almost a kilometer from here to that parking lot, and that's it?" Maniela shook the "spear" in her hand and frowned: "We can stay here, we can eat the food here for a long time, and there is no need to risk it at all." ”

"There is no residential area on Viggo Street, and the car just turned into Oak Street from that road, and it didn't bring many zombies, which means that there are not many zombies on that street...... I'm definitely not going to stay here, you can stay here, I have to go. Tang Ji said, his plan was not so urgent, but when he deduced that there were few zombies on Vigo Street, he changed his mind, it was an opportunity, that parking lot was the closest parking lot to him in this neighborhood, it was the right choice to run over when there were few zombies, it was necessary to take risks, otherwise after a long time, there might be some reason for the zombies to gather in this vicinity, and Tang Ji would have to be trapped and die here.

After Tang Ji finished speaking, he walked to the roller shutter door, which was slightly deformed by the zombies, and it was concave into the convenience store, revealing some gaps on the edge, less than a centimeter, but it was enough for Tang Ji to see the joy near the roller shutter door outside.

Maniela looked at Don Ji's back with a spear, and had the urge to stab Tang Ji to death, what Tang Ji said was so annoying, what do you mean you can stay here? What is a woman doing here? Waiting to die?

Tang Ji observed his eyes and observed the outside through the gap, there were four or five zombies gathered at the door, wandering unconsciously, Tang Ji took a deep breath, squatted down and put the spear on the ground, holding the gun in his right hand, and then grabbed the handle under the roller shutter door with his left hand, stood up violently and pulled upward.

Thorn la car!

The roller shutter door made a tooth-aching grinding sound because of the deformation, and it was not easy to pull it up, but Tang Ji quickly pulled it open more than half a meter high, and the sunlight shone into the convenience store.

Tang Ji quickly squatted down, picked up the spear and got out of the cat, puff puff is a few shots, burst the heads of the zombies closest to him, and rushed towards the north.

Maniela has two choices at this time, one is to close the roller shutter door, because of the attraction of Don Quixy, so the zombies will not trouble her, and she can spend a period of time in the convenience store safely, and the other is to follow Don Guy and go to the parking lot with him to find the vehicle, and then leave the populous city of New York, of course, or die on the road.

Maniela only hesitated slightly, and then rushed out after Don Guy.

The comfort of a short period of time is destined to die soon after, Maniela does not want to stay here alone, then it is almost destined that she will be eaten by zombies soon, the city of New York represents prosperity before the end of the world, and after the end of the world is much more dangerous than most other parts of the United States, because there are too many people here, which means that there are many zombies, it is conceivable that when the end of the world breaks out, the proportion of humans who survive in the countryside is definitely more than that in the big cities.

The street was still the same disgusting smell, Maniela wrinkled her nose in discomfort, she was healthy and unharmed, and she could keep up with Don Quixo in a short time.

The zombies were roaring and roaring, and the sudden appearance of Donji and Maniela was like a magnet, attracting a lot of zombies to move closer to them, their eyes were blood-red on their hideous faces, their wrinkled clothes were covered with bright red or dried blood, their skin had been slightly blue-gray, and the blood vessels protruded on the surface of the body, like black lines, it could be seen that the virus not only poisoned them and resurrected them, but made them mutate to a certain extent.

Burst! Burst! Burst! Burst! Burst! Burst! ……

Tang Ji quickly ran out of bullets in the muffler's pistol, and he threw the pistol out directly, hitting a zombie's head, then holding the spear with both hands and slashing at the zombie's head in front of him.

Poof!

Half of the zombie's head was suddenly cut off, blood and stiffness spurted out, and Tang Ji had a lot of blood stains on his body. Tang Ji slammed the spear in his hand sideways, pushed the zombie backwards into his body, and continued to run forward.

Behind him, Maniela followed closely, panting very hard, and from time to time she could play her role, the spear in her hand was not an ornament, for zombies who didn't know how to dodge, the effect of slashing was very obvious.

Maniela also spurted a lot of blood on her body, and even had some on her face, she pursed her lips tightly, and breathed quickly with only her nose, for fear that the blood of the zombie would be eaten by herself and become a zombie.

At this time, there are really not many zombies on this road, and the speed is not as fast as humans, so it is impossible to form a circle, and it seems that Tang Ji and Maniela may have a big surname when they ran out of this street.

At this time, Tangji was still about three hundred meters away from the crossroads.

At the other end of Oak Street, a Ford business car floated out of the intersection and ran in the direction of Tangji, the same one that had driven by not long ago.

"Oh, shit!" Don Ji jerked his head back and shouted.

I saw that behind the Ford commercial vehicle, there were at least two hundred zombies and all poured into Oak Street.
