Chapter 15: An Elegant and Chicular Death
The lotus pond is a stagnant pond, and under the summer light, there is a thick layer of duckweed floating on the water surface, exuding a faint smell of water.
By the lotus pond is a rockery, a typical Chinese garden rockery.
It is piled up with the soil dug up when digging the lotus pond, the slope is not high, and the stone steps go up one after another, and the top is the so-called Taihu Lake stone made of ugly cement, which is piled up into the top of the artificial mountain.
In the middle of the summit is the so-called Sun-Watching Pavilion - although on the surrounding horizon, as far as the eye can see, it is a high-rise building.
But when tourists come here, they always like to climb up and look at it.
Besides, there is a little breeze in the pavilion, which can also shelter from the sun.
Now, in the corner of the Sun-Viewing Pavilion, there is an old man sitting.
Thinning pale hair.
Wrinkled hands hold a cane.
If you put it in the past, this is just a normal "no more beautiful sunset red" scene.
But now, Wang Lu turned his camera slightly.
The camera focused on the face of the old man in the sun-viewing pavilion -
Pale eyes.
There are no lips that have rotted, revealing gums that are missing several teeth.
It's a zombie again.
Wang Lu flattened his mouth.
Lowered the binoculars.
This time he won't be doing the same thing.
If he doesn't dig three feet into the ground in the bonsai garden, he can't worry about bringing Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an here.
The whole bonsai garden is high in the east and low in the west.
The structure of the garden is not complicated, with lawns on both sides, accompanied by artificial streams, and a stone road in the middle, with bonsai on both sides of the road, mostly small and half-human high. The name of the bonsai garden also comes from this.
The lotus pond is located in the westernmost part.
Wang Lu went all the way, turning over every place where zombies could be hidden, and even slipped in the women's toilet to take a look.
It is only now that this old zombie was found on the top of the rockery by the lotus pond.
Wang Lu slurped his lips, old zombies are also zombies.
If you don't extinguish it, you will always feel uneasy.
Wang Lu was a little distressed.
If it was an ordinary old man, with the age gap between the two sides, Wang Lu would be able to smash the other party with a few punches.
Breaking a few ribs is light.
But the problem is that this is a zombie.
Theoretically, this old zombie is just as unbeaten as the old man.
But in case the old zombie's teeth bump into the corners of Wang Lu's body, as long as he cuts a little skin, he will die as well.
Wang Lu stared at the old zombie sitting in the Sun Viewing Pavilion safely, and his stomach was not angry.
You say, you are an old man who is about to lie in the coffin, you don't want to stay at home, what are you doing outside?
Standing on a cane, he can't even walk steadily, so he can't make a lot of fun.
It's become a zombie, and it's not fun for me.
You simply fall off the rockery and die headlong.
Even if you can't hit it, it's good to break a leg.
Wang Lu scratched his head.
Gotta think of a trick.
I don't have any handy weapons in my hands.
Wang Lu stood up, planning to look at the construction site outside, and it was best to find a shovel or rebar or something.
One inch is long and one inch is strong, and with a long weapon, I have more courage psychologically.
Out of the gate of the bonsai garden, Wang Lu was about to turn left to go to the construction site.
There was a sudden pause.
The bonsai garden is open to the public without selling tickets, and it was originally a place to sell box office, but now it is a small shop.
Buy some miscellaneous things, such as small bonsais, flower seeds, fertilizers, small shovels, kites, cola, popsicles, bread.
In recent years, the public has become popular for fishing, and they have put fishing rods or something.
Wang Lu narrowed his eyes and thought of something. He turned around and slipped into the small grocery store.
Inside the Sun-Viewing Pavilion.
The old zombie sat quietly, the sun shining in, half on the ground and half on its trouser legs.
The old zombie was looking into the distance.
I don't know if in its eyes, this world is still as vibrant and colorful as before.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, there was a shout, which alarmed the sluggish old zombie.
The old zombie turned its head with a dullness characteristic of old age.
Outside the gazebo, a piece of fresh and delicious meat was jumping and jumping, shouting and screaming.
"Old immortal, here and here!"
It is the king's road.
I saw him jumping, shouting, and clapping loudly a few steps outside the gazebo.
"Come on, come on. There are good foods. β
It doesn't need to be reminded by Wang Lu's kindness, the old zombie has already stood up, and the magic is that maybe it's an instinct, it's still standing on crutches. ,
The craving for fresh meat and blood is endless.
Although the old zombie faltered, he chased straight towards the king's road.
Wang Lu took a step back and shouted again: "Come here!" β
Then he turned around and ran down the stone steps.
The old zombie followed closely, and Wang Lu didn't run fast, turning his head sideways from time to time to see if the zombie was keeping up.
The old zombie's pace is getting faster and faster.
Wang Lu "leaned" on: "This zombie virus can still return to old age." β
At this time, Wang Lu had already run to the stone steps at the top of the rockery.
Wang Lu made a strange movement, he put his feet together and jumped.
He jumped to the next step.
Then, continue to run towards the lower part of the road.
This time, it was a little delayed.
The old zombie is closer to the King's Road.
It opened its mouth, revealing the few remaining teeth that were oozing white, and lunged towards Wang Lu's back.
And thenβ
Then, it was carried down the stone steps.
From the very top of the stone staircase at the top of the rockery, I carried it down one by one.
The old zombie fell very violently this time, and it almost flew in a volley posture from Wang Lu, who was standing on the stone steps a few blocks below and leaning against the cement rockery.
When passing by Wang Lu's side, the old zombie struggled to make a gesture of reaching out to catch it.
It was completely in vain.
Its fingertips didn't even touch the corners of Wang Lu's clothes.
When it was too late, the old zombie fell from the top of the stone steps, slammed into a sharp rockery below, and rolled down the stone steps, and his shaking head hit the stone steps from time to time, making a dull thumping sound. Until a bang, in a distorted posture, lying under the rockery.
Wang Lu hurriedly followed, but he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he picked up the bonsai used for decoration on the side of the stone steps with both hands and threw it down heavily.
Wang Lulian threw three pots of five-needle pine.
It wasn't until he saw the flower pot of one of the bonsai and smashed the old zombie's head that he stopped.
After making sure that the old zombie is dead. Wang Lu turned around and glanced at the top of the stone steps.
There, half a foot high along the stone steps, a thin line reflected imperceptibly in the sunlight.
It was a fishing line.
Wang Lu dug out the fishing line from the small grocery store and made a simple triphorse on the stone steps.
Zombies are brainless.
This is the theorem of all zombie films.
They can't even climb a fire ladder.
Not to mention, they will find and avoid fishing lines that are difficult to detect.
Wang Lu originally hoped that when the old zombie fell from the top of the rockery, he broke his leg or hand, and then he dragged the impaired zombie to the lotus pond and drowned. Unexpectedly, the old zombie fell and broke the bones of the whole body, looking at its twisted limbs on the ground, it is estimated that they are broken like a magic wand, so he simply rewarded it with three pots of five-needle pine bonsai, so that it died a chic and elegant death.
