Chapter 39: Outside the Window
In front of the residential quarter, there are words Happy Garden, which is a newly built community, and the houses inside are very new, only some of the houses have been renovated, and most of the houses are still vacant.
Looking in from the gate of the community, there were no zombies wandering around, only some corpses that had fallen to the ground, which looked like the corpses of zombies. According to Liu Gan's analysis, it is likely that the players or survivors in the large camp had previously looted supplies in this community, and hacked the scattered zombies inside to death by the way.
It seemed to be very peaceful, and Liu Qian thought that he could place Pan Hua and Lulu in the community, and leave the food and water that could not be taken away to them, which could be regarded as a matter of benevolence to them.
……
Five days ago, near the Happy Garden Community.
Torrential rain, lightning and thunder.
A man in a suit without an umbrella was running down the street in the rain, and his home was in the Happy Garden Community not far ahead. Half a year ago, he used his salary from five years of hard work to buy a house in the Happy Garden Community, which was only renovated and officially moved in a month ago.
The man in the suit is named Li Zhuoliang, and he has a happy family, a beautiful and gentle wife, and a smart and well-behaved son. Today is the fourth birthday of Li Zhuoliang's son Dongdong, so although it rained heavily and the sky sounded thunder from time to time, Li Zhuoliang still did not hesitate to rush in the direction of home.
After a rainstorm falls on the ground, it cannot be discharged from the underground waterway in time, and a large amount of water is formed on the side of the road, which is a normal thing, but now it seems very abnormal...... The water is red! As the water on the side of the road became thicker and thicker, the red color became more and more vivid and dazzling, like blood all over the ground!
At the same time, a strange smell of blood filled the streets.
Li Zhuoliang stood outside the gate of a courtyard with a sign of 'Tranquility City Industrial and Commercial Bureau', subconsciously reached out and touched his face, then looked at his hand, looked at the blood-colored liquid on his hand, and couldn't help screaming, his face was full of horror.
At the same time, some other pedestrians who were running wildly on the road noticed that the situation was wrong, and looked around with the same frightened face as Li Zhuoliang, and then hid to the side of the road while screaming, deciding to avoid the blood rain first.
After Li Zhuoliang hesitated for a moment, he still ran quickly in the direction of the Happy Garden Community, anyway, his body was already soaked, and he would be at the gate of the community in a few dozen meters, no matter what the situation was, let's go home first.
Soon Li Zhuoliang felt that something was not right, as if his eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth were soaked by the rain and became a little hot and painful, as if he had been corroded by something.
……
A few dozen meters away from the happy garden community.
"Mom, it's raining outside." Four-year-old Dongdong leaned by the window and looked out.
Dongdong's home is on the third floor, and the building is on the right hand side of the entrance of the community, and you can see the situation at the entrance of the community from here. Every day at this time, Dad will come back from work outside, so at this time of the day, Dongdong will habitually lie by the window and look in the direction of the gate of the community.
"Well, don't open the windows and be careful of the rain falling in." Dongdong's mother, a young and beautiful woman was busy with the cakes and meals on the table, and casually replied to her son Dongdong.
"Will Daddy buy me a toy airship and come back?" Dongdong looked out the window and asked his mother again.
"Yes, he promised you that he would definitely buy it for you." The young mother carefully planted a candle on the cake and replied to Dongdong by the window.
The young mother's name is Xu Jing, her husband Li Zhuoliang's company has good benefits, after giving birth to Dongdong, Xu Jing became a full-time mother, taking care of Dongdong every day, cooking and waiting for her husband to come home from work, which is all she has lived in the past few years.
"Mom, why is the rain red outside?" Dongdong looked at the red patches on the window pane and outside, and asked his mother again a little strangely.
"Because the street lights are red, the rain is also red by the street lights." Xu Jing planted the second candle and continued to answer her son Dongdong's questions casually, a four-year-old child, who is in the stage of 100,000 whys, has questions that can never be asked.
"It's raining so hard, can Dad come back?" Dongdong stretched out his little hand, wanting to wipe the window clean and see if his father had appeared at the door of the community as usual. But the red rain dripped on the outside of the glass window, and it certainly wouldn't have any effect if he reached out to wipe it inside.
"There will be a time when the rain will be light, and when the rain is light, he will come back." The young mother planted the third candle and then picked up the last one.
Just then, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of a key unlocking the door. Xu Jing put down the last candle and looked towards the door, and at the same time, the four-year-old Dongdong had already pounced towards the door.
The door opened, and the mother and son looked at Li Zhuoliang who came back outside, and let out a very sad scream together.
His body and face were covered in blood, and he looked like a bloody man.
"Don't worry! There is no blood in me, it is rain. Li Zhuoliang put down the toy box in his hand, quickly took off his clothes and pants and threw them outside the door, then closed the door and rushed in the direction of the bathroom.
Xu Jing walked to the window, looked at the windowpane that had been dyed red, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
A few minutes later, Li Zhuoliang took a shower and walked out of the bathroom, all the 'blood and water' on his body had been washed away, and he also changed into clean clothes before walking back to the hall.
"What's wrong? Why is the rain red outside? Xu Jing threw herself into Li Zhuoliang's arms in some horror and asked him.
"I don't know, turn on the TV, there will definitely be a report on the TV." Li Zhuoliang pushed his wife to the side of the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
"Please don't panic, the relevant departments have launched the identification of the composition of the red rainwater, and the results will be available soon."
"According to my preliminary judgment, all this may be related to the large growth of red algae in the sea water in recent years, and the components of these red algae have evaporated into the clouds and then rained down, forming this phenomenon of blood rain...... "An expert-looking man on TV is sitting on the sofa and chatting with the host.
"I say, right? It's going to be okay, let's not delay Dongdong's birthday dinner. Li Zhuoliang patted his wife Xu Jing on the shoulder, and then walked to the dining table.
