Chapter 150: Space of Ideas (4)
"It's me, Haoyu." Qiao Haoyu said in a comforting tone, "Open the door." β
"You're human?" The woman inside said.
"Not Chang Liping?" Qiao Haoyu tightened his hands and held the handle of the fire axe. "And who are you?"
It took the two ten minutes to communicate. This is a suspicious survivor, Qiao Haoyu regrets that he didn't find this woman when he cleaned up the supermarket yesterday. According to the woman, on the other side of the black door was a small warehouse, and there was a small door leading to the alley behind the supermarket, which blocked the containers.
After the negotiation, Qiao Haoyu promised the woman to take twenty steps back, and the woman opened the door. The strong light of the woman's emergency light shook so much that Qiao Haoyu couldn't open his eyes.
Qiao Haoyu briefly checked the warehouse. There are no gods and horses in it, there are some fragile plastic drying racks stacked in the outer box, and the inner layer is some inkstones that seem to be used to draw and polish ink, which is quite heavy to start, but unless forced to do so, Qiao Haoyu does not plan to act with this kind of thing. Qiao Haoyu checked the small door leading to the outside, and sure enough, as the woman said, it was blocked.
The woman was clearly starving. She trembled and grabbed Qiao Haoyu's arm, like a person who had just been rescued from the water. It was indeed as cold as an ice cave in the supermarket, and Qiao Haoyu couldn't figure out why the heating was turned off in the middle of the night. Qiao Haoyu took the woman to the small camp he and Chang Liping set up in the bedding area, helped her sit on the soft Simmons mattress, and opened her a bottle of canned oranges and a bag of a dozen fish and ham sausages. After putting on the coat, the woman was in much better shape, but she was still silent.
Qiao Haoyu found that this woman was extremely beautiful.
Qiao Haoyu glanced at this woman a few times by the faint moonlight, it was not the beauty in the ordinary sense, but how beautiful it was, it was difficult for Qiao Haoyu to find a suitable sentence to praise from the poor language.
Qiao Haoyu was dizzy, and suddenly remembered that Chang Liping hadn't been found yet.
Qiao Haoyu stood up and decided to go to the first floor to find Chang Liping. The woman begged Qiao Haoyu not to go, she couldn't stand the darkness and loneliness alone. So Qiao Haoyu held her with one hand and an axe in the other, and the two slowly walked down the stairs along the escalator that had not moved.
"Chang Liping?" Qiao Haoyu called the name of another girl.
"Huh? Stay back! Chang Liping said sharply. Wait for me! β
The two had to stand where they were and wait for her. It didn't take long for Chang Liping to return to the team. When she saw another survivor, Chang Liping first showed an expression of disbelief, and then looked at the two who were leaning on each other, and a trace of Dongdong that Qiao Haoyu couldn't understand flashed in her eyes.
Qiao Haoyu and the woman made a brief self-introduction to each other.
The woman's name was Zheng Lihua. Originally planned to go out on a trip with her boyfriend by train, she and her boyfriend were shopping for travel supplies at this supermarket. Her boyfriend accompanies her.
This supermarket opens early, and there are a lot of specials every morning, and the old men and women in the neighborhood love this supermarket to death. Zheng Lihua and her boyfriend wanted to buy some cleaning products, but they got lost in the supermarket and didn't find the sanitary ware display area, at this time, a sudden alien crisis broke out, and some aliens with broken jaws attacked them, Zheng Lihua and her boyfriend were separated and fled into the staff passage on the second floor.
Qiao Haoyu kept looking at her when Zheng Lihua was speaking, she was really beautiful, and she was comparable to Chang Liping. Even though the light was dim and the house was full of miasma, the light from her eyes and face made the whole supermarket shine.
Chang Liping pulled Qiao Haoyu aside: "This girl is good-looking, isn't she?" β
"Huh?" Qiao Haoyu's face was full of surprise, he was seen through his thoughts, and he was speechless. "No, it's not. What do you think! β
Chang Liping stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"What were you doing down there?" Qiao Haoyu hurriedly asked and diverted the topic.
Chang Liping blushed, Qiao Haoyu didn't see it in the dark.
"It's nothing, I just can't sleep, just go around."
Zheng Lihua stopped, stood in front of the half-corpse, and stared for a few seconds. Qiao Haoyu remembered that the half of the corpse was the one that grabbed Chang Liping's ankle when they first entered the supermarket. Qiao Haoyu cut off its hands and head, and now it is lying obediently on the ground.
Qiao Haoyu tilted his neck and glanced at Zheng Lihua with inquiring eyes. Zheng Lihua said coldly: "Not much, ex-boyfriend." β
Why is your heart full of Zheng Lihua? What's so good about her? Why is she here? Will she accept you?
Don't be naΓ―ve, Qiao Haoyu!
Qiao Haoyu touched the darkness and walked down the floor. He needed these two women. He found himself in desperate need of these two women.
"Lihua? Liping? Qiao Haoyu shouted softly.
"Here." Zheng Lihua said, shaking the emergency light to Qiao Haoyu.
Hearing Zheng Lihua's voice, Qiao Haoyu was also relieved.
Zheng Lihua and Chang Liping stood in front of the main power switch. Zheng Lihua carried the lamp, and Chang Liping tiptoed to push the main switch.
"Huh?" Qiao Haoyu snorted, not understanding what these two women were doing.
Chang Liping bared her cute little buckteeth and pushed on the electric switch in fear. It wasn't until she realized that there was nothing wrong with her that she sighed reassuringly.
Qiao Haoyu hummed again. According to the experience of the last time, it is called what kind of air switch is dongdong, and it will be protected against power failure, and in the event of a short circuit...... But Chang Liping's push, neither turned on the lights, nor tripped, which is strange.
Zheng Lihua knew what Qiao Haoyu was thinking. "Sister Liping is afraid of the dark," she explained, "so I'll bring her over to have a look, maybe it won't be a short circuit." β
Deceitful! Qiao Haoyu suddenly felt a strong sense of disgust. That's impossible. He likes Zheng Lihua so much. But Qiao Haoyu did know that she was lying. Although Qiao Haoyu's education is not high, only high Chinese Cheng dΓΉ, he also understands that the circuit will not recover by itself if it is broken, which is the same as if someone dies and rots, Qiao Haoyu will not live if he buries him in the mud.
What is Zheng Lihua thinking?
Chang Liping screamed and hid behind Zheng Lihua. Zheng Lihua increased the brightness of the emergency lights. Qiao Haoyu saw a black shadow pass in front of his feet.
The black shadow was exactly the same as the last time Qiao Haoyu saw it. Qiao Haoyu can now be sure that it is a mouse.
Dwarf oil!
The time has come for Qiao Haoyu to be a hero. Qiao Haoyu said: "A mouse, what's so scary. Qiao Haoyu smacked his lips, trying to lure the mouse out and stomp on it to prove his courage. Qiao Haoyu saw that Zheng Lihua was clearly trembling. Qiao Haoyu waved his hand, "It's really nothing to be afraid of, watch me kill it." β
Qiao Haoyu took the emergency light from Zheng Lihua and shone it around. Soon Qiao Haoyu found a mouse hole, just under the west wall. Qiao Haoyu was overjoyed, the emergency light was pushed to the maximum brightness, and a beam of strong light shot towards the entrance of the cave. Rats are afraid of light, and they are terrified. Qiao Haoyu wants to scare and scare them well, so that they don't dare to steal chickens and dogs anymore.
The two rats rushed towards Qiao Haoyu in the bright light. At first it was two, and a second later, it was six. Fifteen or sixteen of them surrounded the next three. In less than thirty seconds, within the circle of light illuminated by the emergency lights, hundreds of angry rats gathered. They all have one characteristic: a broken chin.
When it came to the end, Qiao Haoyu only said one word: "Run!" β
Nonsense, swollen run?
After the assembly was completed and the rats were surrounded, a rat tentatively jumped towards Qiao Haoyu. Qiao Haoyu was too careless, he didn't bring an axe.
Qiao Haoyu stepped on it, but missed, the mouse hissed, turned around and bit on Qiao Haoyu's shoe. Qiao Haoyu's shoes were found from the shelves on the second floor, and they looked quite sturdy. This mouse bit for a long time, but it didn't bite, and Qiao Haoyu kicked it away as soon as he returned to his foot.
The second mouse was even more fearless, and was trampled on by Qiao Haoyu when he rushed over.
The third and fourth are not as civilized as the first two, and they are on the same page. Qiao Haoyu was stretched thin and overwhelmed. A single mouse is not very aggressive, but when two or three of them pounce together, one catches his attention in front and the second climbs up his pants.
Qiao Haoyu found that the rats seemed to be attacking him alone.
Qiao Haoyu stuffed the emergency light to Zheng Lihua: "Run!" Quick, go up to the second floor! β
Zheng Lihua took the emergency light and left with Chang Liping. Qiao Haoyu kicked another mouse away, and found that the other rats were no longer rushing towards him, but instead ran towards Zheng Lihua and Chang Liping.
