02 For the cabbage

(《》)

Zhang Xiaoqiang came back to his senses, the half pack of instant noodles he had just eaten seemed to have been digested, and the feeling of hunger was even stronger, forcing himself not to look at the few packets of instant noodles left on the desk, just poured a glass of water into his stomach fiercely, hoping to be full of water, since the crisis in the past half a month, he woke up every day without feeling reflective, is his life now dreaming, the noodles are finished, the eggs are eaten, and there are three bags of instant noodles, which is still a two-day meal and a half, and a day and a half, I used to eat two packs of eggs and two fried eggs at a meal, and the rice didn't dare to go out to find food to eat dry rice, otherwise I didn't have the strength to run, looking at the belly that was slowly deflated, I used to want to lose weight but I couldn't lose it, now I have at least 5 pounds, I think it's funny, and I feel like crying, although he usually has no heart and lungs, but there is a sister who doesn't know life and death, and I always can't let go of my worries. Ling'er, who was fascinated by her classmates for the first time, remembered the naughty little girl who drew a turtle behind his back, as well as his colleagues and friends who used to work, and even missed the little girl in Padang who bought breakfast at the street. My sister's phone has not been able to get through, no one has answered the landline, and I want to be more auspicious, and I don't give up and always hope for a miracle.

Outside the window, the zombies downstairs are still wandering around, and occasionally acquaintances who live nearby can be seen among them, and the streets are covered with broken glass, torn clothes and scattered bones, all kinds of garbage, and buses burned into empty shells in the distance. A feeling of desolation has always been entangled in my heart, thinking that I have become a zombie wandering around, thinking that I will be starved to death by food, thinking that my relatives and friends have become zombies and eating me alive, and sadness has turned into despair. Numbly walked to the kitchen and picked up the kitchen knife, slowly put the blade against his neck, closed his eyes, and squeezed the handle of the knife tightly, until his wrist hurt too hard, and he still couldn't make up his mind to draw down, he put down the kitchen knife and sat on the ground with his head against the wall with his back, tears kept coming out, he was afraid of death, he didn't dare to commit suicide.

He hated himself for being useless, studying useless, not even daring to commit suicide if he couldn't work, his mood slowly calmed down, and he thought that 90% of the people had become mourned, he was still alive, 6.3 billion people were infected, and he was all right? Is it arranged by God, I want to think about it for a while, I feel better again, I looked at the Tianwang watch in my hand It was more than 10 o'clock in the morning, if I want not to be starved to death, I must go out to find food, I have to fight to the death with those zombies, he came to the front hall and opened the curtains, and carefully tore a small piece of newspaper posted a month and a half ago on the glass window to check outside, the small vegetable garden in the middle of the platform was long and a few rows of green cabbage looked at his saliva and drooled down, and looked away from the cabbage and carefully observed the surroundings, there were not many zombies on the platform, The two families opposite his house said that the wall of the platform was opened to the greenhouse, and the gate was opened on the balcony, and now the gate is open, and there are several zombies in each of the two families, and there is a zombie at the staircase above and below the platform, a total of 7 stairs, and six on the opposite side, and it takes three minutes to walk from the opposite side, and his goal is the cabbage in the middle of the platform.

It is definitely not possible to deal with zombies with bare hands, there is nothing ready at home to prepare weapons, find all kinds of tools left by his father before, the first thing that catches his eye is an eight-pound hammer, lift it and try it and shake his head, it's too heavy, his strength is not good, he can't stand it after three or five strokes, he continues to look for it, turns out a hammer, tries the weight is appropriate, goes to the kitchen to get an iron pot lid as a shield, rehearses a few times in the living room to find the feeling, feels almost ready to go, and is a little hesitant to the door, Put his hand on the doorknob and take it down several times three times, and finally thought that starvation is better than war death, and said "People die and birds face the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years" and opened the door and walked out.

Zhang Xiaoqiang plans to kill the zombie at the staircase first, it is too close to the vegetable garden, and he will try to take the cabbage for a minute before the zombie on the opposite side approaches, he wears high-top military leather shoes, wears his father's woolen military coat and puts thick leather gloves on his hands, and runs quickly to the staircase while the zombie has not yet emerged, a zombie is walking up, smelling his smell, he pounced on him with his teeth and claws, this is the first time he has seen a zombie at close range, the zombie has a gray face, his eyes are white, his mouth is wide open, and he can put a fist in it, The black teeth all grew into miniature triangular spatulas, and the hearts of those who watched them were chilled. A strong smell of corpses came to his face, his heart was nauseated and wanted to vomit, the zombie had already pounced on his pot lid shield, he retreated back from the shock, the feeling of fighting before came back, he put the shield to the left and let his right foot go out in the chest, the zombie rolled down the stairs, he didn't have time to think about it He ran to the vegetable garden and put down his weapon, took out the snakeskin bag and grabbed the cabbage and put it into the pocket, and the corner of his eye looked at the zombie on the opposite side and walked towards him step by step, fast, faster, he gasped and kept putting the cabbage into his pocket, Hands fiercely forked into the black soil to touch the vegetable stalk and brought out the cabbage, the mud and the juice of the vegetable leaves splashed into the eyes can not be felt, I just want to pick a few more, this is food, is hope! The zombie is not far from him, he can't be greedy anymore, it's time to go, he grabbed his pocket with one hand and picked up a weapon with the other hand and ran desperately towards home, seeing the entrance of the building in front of him, he stepped into the entrance of the building and ran towards the door.

Suddenly, the iron door opposite the door opened, and he pounced on him with a thick corpse stench from the zombies that his neighbors had become, the sharp claws were less than 10 centimeters from his eyes, and a chill passed through his head from the tail vertebrae, and he wanted to open his mouth to shout but couldn't make a sound, and he thought of two words in his head:

"It's over"

As soon as his legs were weak, he sat on the ground, and the shield in his hand flew out, and the zombie pounced in the air, his mind was blank, and his feet kicked on the calves of the zombie, and the zombie's center of gravity was unstable and fell to him, he rolled to the side, and the hammer in his hand smashed desperately on the zombie again and again, and when he came back to his senses, the upper body of the zombie had been smashed by him, and the black and sticky blood flew everywhere, and his head was about to burst open with the strong corpse stench.

The zombie on the opposite side of the platform was only about ten meters away from him, the three strong ones walked in front, and the three old ladies behind slowly followed behind, smelling his smell and becoming very excited, they were bound to get the prey that was close to him, he jumped up from the ground, and he didn't even have time to take back the shield and carried his pocket into the house.

Locked the security door, he leaned against the iron door, exhaled deeply, and the blood of the zombies was splashed on his body, so he couldn't stand it, and hurriedly ran into the toilet to change his clothes.

Zhang Xiaoqiang turned out the cabbage in his pocket and stacked it neatly on the floor tiles, a total of 11 pieces and more than 20 catties.

The zombies outside were scratching the iron door, and Zhang Xiaoqiang had confidence in living for the first time.
