Dong Guoping stood in the open space in front of the gas station, carefully observing the baseline of the fence against the drawings. He was wearing gray overalls stained with mud, and the cement blocks on his shoes had long since dried and hardened. Seeing Su Hao and Xinyan coming over, he nodded gestureously, and his eyes were once again focused on the unfolded drawings.

Su Hao looked around, and the expression on his face was very satisfied: "Professionals are indeed irreplaceable. In the past, it would have been hard to imagine that so much work could be done in two days. It doesn't seem to be long before it's ready for use. ”

Dong Guoping's gaze never left the drawing, and he corrected the mistake in Su Hao's words: "If you are referring to a gas station, as long as the power is turned on, it can operate normally." If you say that wall, it will take at least four days to close. Of course, if you can double the number of people you send in, you can reduce that time by a third. ”

"Oh?"

Su Hao was surprised by his words: "Since the manpower has been doubled, why can't you save half the time?" ”

"The concrete needs to be dried, and the human factor cannot influence the process. To achieve the best strengthening effect, the wall should not be dried for less than one month. ”

As he spoke, Dong Guoping lifted his slightly sliding glasses, turned around, raised his finger and pointed to the hundreds of empty glass bottles placed along the corner of the office building of the gas station, and asked curiously: "This was sent by Liao Qiu this morning." He said it was your order, and there were more bottles to be shipped tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I don't quite understand, what's the use of you asking for these things? ”

Su Hao did not answer this question directly, he looked at the tall wall in the distance: "Have you ever heard of the "Molotov cocktail"? ”

Dong Guoping frowned slightly, and then suddenly realized: "Do you want to make your own incendiary bombs?" ”

Su Hao smiled and nodded: "In addition to these bottles, Liao Qiu will also bring some used tires found from the automobile trading market." Chemical companies have a lot of magnesium powder. This incendiary bomb is very powerful and very easy to make. With that wall as protection, the dense crowd of corpses is actually not difficult to deal with. ”

Dong Guoping had a thoughtful expression on his face, and gradually became a little excited: "You're right. We can make this stuff in large quantities and burn all the zombies in the city. Although the number of those monsters is huge, they shrink a little bit every day, and there is always a time to kill them all. ”

Su Hao didn't take his words and fell silent.

The abrupt pause in the conversation made Dong Guoping a little confused. Even Xinyan and Yang Lulu, who were standing next to them, didn't quite understand. They all looked at Su Hao, trying to find the answer from his expression and eyes.

After a long time, Su Hao finally raised his head and sighed: "Monsters can't be killed." ”

Nine-year-old Yang Lulu immediately asked: "What is it for?" ”

"They give birth, they reproduce, just like we humans."

Su Hao's tone of voice was more solemn than ever, but several people sounded ridiculous.

They had hunted zombies more than once, and the work of collecting silver bones and rotting hormones was, in a sense, equivalent to dissecting zombies. Including Li Xiaomei, who went out the least, all team members were extremely familiar with zombies. This terrifying creature mutated from humans has no gender at all. Many male zombies have long since decomposed, or have been torn, torn, or shed in the process of mutation and fighting. The uterus inside a woman's corpse either shrinks or decays into pus. They are unable to produce sperm and eggs, and through normal mating, they give birth to offspring through the process of conception, fetal rearing, and childbirth.

"This can't ————"

Dong Guoping shook his head again and again: "They have no reproductive organs, and they do not have the physiology to conceive. That sounds ridiculous. They can't even do things between men and women, how can they be?"

"There are many things in this world that we can't understand."

Su Hao calmly interrupted him: "They don't have physiological functions now, it doesn't mean that they won't have them in the future." Just because you can't have children now doesn't mean you won't have the ability to do that forever. Let's not forget that the first life on Earth reproduced by self-division. Many biological authorities have argued that zombies violate the most basic biological laws. But what was the result? Something impossible has appeared, the social order has been broken in an instant, and the end of the world is not because of volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes, but from viruses that cannot be seen by the naked eye, which will evolve, mutate, and become terrible monsters that no one can imagine. ”

Dong Guoping's face was full of horror, and his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets. He tried to calm his throbbing heart and return his mind to a normal state, and said in a trembling voice, "What you said is true? ”

Su Hao's voice was not loud, but it had a heaviness that could not be doubted: "We once believed that there would never be a creature like zombies in this world. But they still appeared. Unknown doesn't mean impossible. We are human beings, and we can only look at things from a human perspective. There are many mysteries hidden from our sight, which can only be explained by "impossible", "unscientific" and "unreasonable" for human beings. In fact, they are just like us, they are inhabitants of this planet. Eventually, they will appear. No matter how denied in the past and how absurd the reality is, we must face it. ”

Xinyan grabbed his arm, his eyes full of worry: "What should we do?" ”

Su Hao's face was shrouded in perseverance and ferocity: "Just like dealing with zombies, kill as many of them as possible————"

As night fell, a slender crescent moon appeared on the horizon. Like a girl's Emei, sexy and full of temptation.

Lu Tao sat on the dusty sofa, silently staring at the cold world outside through the glassless window.

It is a 26-storey residential building. In cities where land prices are skyrocketing, such high-rise units built a few years ago are already overcrowded. Now, it is home to hundreds of survivors.

This room belonged to Lu Tao, and he took aside the furniture in the living room, got a few bricks from downstairs, and built a simple earthen stove in the center of the living room. In addition to the bed, wooden furniture such as cabinets and closets were all chopped into pieces with an axe. These chipboards and sawdust boards are difficult to ignite but are resistant to burning.

Lu Tao used all the kitchen utensils of the original owner of this room. Water, electricity and gas have long been cut off, and essential domestic water can only be brought up in barrels from the underground wells downstairs. The process was tiring, and no one wanted to live at a terrifying height like twenty-six floors. So, when the building was first occupied, the survivors only cleaned the rooms below the eighth floor. They locked the staircase to the ninth floor with an iron grille, and placed a large pile of heavy objects from various rooms at the top of the staircase. At such a close distance, the zombies upstairs could certainly smell the humans downstairs. They have been crowded at the other end of the iron fence and furniture, howling tirelessly, opening their mouths like rats to gnaw on the hard metal railings, this useless tenacity has lasted for months, and the only gain of the stubborn zombies is to gnaw off the patent leather on the surface of the iron fence, leaving a series of clearly visible tooth marks.

The fire in the earthen stove was not too strong, and the pot on the stove contained rice and water, but it never boiled.

The surface of the rice bag is printed with a sign of "Rice Flower Fragrance", which is also a relic of the original owner of the house.

When Lu Tao broke into the room, the mutated man was lying on the body of a female corpse and biting wildly, next to a child who had been eaten to the point that only a third of it had been eaten. Very young, probably only about six years old. The zombie's belly bulged high like a ball. It wanted to open its mouth and bite off Lu Tao's throat, but the angry intruder grabbed the back of the neck, carried his thigh, and threw it directly from the balcony.

Outside the window, the moon was gradually obscured by clouds. Lu Tao retracted his gaze, picked up the knife and wooden stick placed next to the sofa, and slashed it without saying a word in the flickering firelight.

He collected some mops, and the wooden handles were sawn into three sections. When sharpened, a stick of this length is a very useful melee weapon.

Lu Tao is a very diligent person———— there are two bulging backpacks by the wall, which are filled with all kinds of convenience food collected from outside. Flashlights and batteries are prepared for double, there are two sharpened kitchen knives under the mattress, and a thick and strong hemp rope is firmly tied to the bed legs, which can be thrown out of the balcony at any time in case of emergency and escape from there.

The experience of the past few months has been like a nightmare, and he doesn't want to be meat in the mouth of a zombie at all. No one knew what the future would hold for Lu Dao, there was no safety in the surrounding environment, and he had to be prepared.

The porridge finally boiled, and a faint fragrance emanated through the room.

Lu Tao got up from the sofa, walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a can of lard, scooped out a small half spoon very stingily, walked back to the earthen stove, and stirred in the boiling pot. Immediately afterwards, salt and monosodium glutamate were added, and a small handful of shepherd's cabbage was picked from the green belt downstairs.

He pulled out a basin from under the bed, lifted the bamboo basket that covered it with dust, and took out two palm-sized breads.

This is the cake made the day before yesterday———— there is no yeast powder, and in order to save water, Lu Tao can only add salt and oil to the noodles and stick them on the side of the pot to cook. The cake is very dry and has little moisture, but it can be stored for a long time without spoiling.

I was about to scoop porridge from the pot when suddenly there was a feeling of suffocation in my lower abdomen. Lu Tao shook his head with a wry smile, pulled out a bundle of plastic garbage bags from the bedside, tore off one, took off his pants and put his genitals into the open bag, and shot out a stream of thick yellow urine.

With the ease of urinating, he quickly put away the plastic bag, flexibly circled it, tied it tightly, walked to the balcony, aimed at the dark night, and threw it out heavily.

Without water, the toilet naturally loses its function. Every time he goes out, Lu Tao collects some plastic bags in the store and uses this kind of thing, which is said to not decompose naturally for hundreds of years, to solve the problem of daily excretion.

He grabbed the dough directly with his hand that had just touched his genitals and took a hard bite.

Lu Tao thinks he is a person with a habit of cleanliness.

Previously, he had to wash his hands carefully with detergent before eating. Otherwise, you'll feel sick all day.

Right now

"Duh! Aggressive ————"

There was a knock on the door outside.

Lu Tao showed a hint of boredom on his face.

He shook his head silently, put down the bowl, stuffed the basin of bread under the bed, covered the pot with porridge, and placed it in the corner of the balcony, blocking it with a broken chair...... After doing all this, he let out a long exhale, stood up and opened the door.

When I broke into the room, the door was open. Lu Tao found a full set of keys to the inner and outer doors from the body of the owner of the house.

Pulling open the door, there was a chubby woman in her thirties standing outside.

She wore a nearly sheer gauze pajamas with a thin shiny metal chain tied around her waist, black mesh stockings that encircled her legs, and a thin black thong with thick hair showing off the edges. Even though it's summer, it's too revealing. Because she is taller than the woman outside, from Lu Tao's point of view, her entire front is almost naked.

"Little handsome guy! Can I borrow you a fire? ”

The woman lifted her foot, which was wearing ten-centimeter heels, and unceremoniously reached into the door frame. She approached Lu Tao very boldly, rubbing against the other party with her plump and slightly upturned buttocks. This exaggerated movement splits the legs, revealing curly pubic hair, and also emits a strong smell that has not been washed for a long time.

The woman's name was Li Jie.

She joined the team a few days later than Lu Tao. She was spotted by several men who had gone out to collect food. She was wearing very expensive clothes at that time, wearing gold and silver jewelry. It is said that a strong man in the team / raped / / her that night. The specific situation Lu Tao is not very clear. After all, there are so many rooms in this building that no one knows what's going on behind closed doors. It's just that since then, Li Jie has become very debauched. She never went out to look for food, nor did she want to go downstairs to get water. They all go back and forth between various men, and exchange food in the way of sleeping and playing together.

Li Jie had knocked on Lu Tao's door before.

I don't know if this woman has been mentally stimulated, if the other party resolutely refuses to open, she will stand at the door until dawn, and even pick up things and smash them. This way of sprinkling and adding scoundrels works very well, and the unbearable person can only open the door and give her some food in exchange for silence. There are also many strong men who are full of food and have nothing to do, willing to let her into the house, and turn over the bed to take what they need.

She has a plump body and fair skin, which makes her attractive enough to most men.

However, Lu Tao did not have the slightest interest in her.

He looked coldly at the coquettish-looking middle-aged woman, took out a small packet of biscuits that had been prepared from his pocket, and handed it over.

Li Jie took the biscuit, but she didn't want to turn around and leave.

She sniffed hard, apparently smelling the scent of vegetable porridge wafting from the room. For people who have been hungry for convenience foods such as biscuits and bread for a long time, the taste is simply as irresistible as *** in front of addicts.

"I smell it"

The woman threw a charming wink, she stretched out her tongue and turned it along her lips, stretched out her hand to Lu Tao's crotch, stroked it gently, and whispered in a very seductive voice: "What are you cooking?" Give me a copy, okay? ”

If it had been in the past, Lu Tao wouldn't mind taking out a bowl of porridge from the house to share it with this woman.

But now it's not that he is cold-hearted, but that this woman has come to the door to ask for it in this way too many times, and she has to come and knock on the door almost every day. She is very discerning, and she will never take the initiative to provoke those short-tempered and strong men, but she regards people with a gentle temperament such as Lu Tao as frequent harassment targets.

Li Jie herself is also very clear———— although the former has physical needs, he will not give himself food and water after being satisfied, he will only laugh and beat, and even use various perverted methods to make fun of himself. The latter is very different, although they will occasionally speak ill of each other, but they will always give themselves enough food.

Compared with the two, Li Jie naturally came to the door more and more often.

Lu Tao glanced at her indifferently, and prepared to close the door with his backhand.

"Tut-tut! Don't be so ruthless! ”

The woman quickly dodged into the door frame, blocking the door panel that was closing, quite annoyed, and said angrily: "Give me a little, just a little, okay?" ”

Lu Tao looked at her, and his face gradually showed anger: "You have your own hands and feet, why do you have to be like this?" If you're scared of those monsters, I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would like to take you with you. You can live better than find food from a man's crotch in this way. Look at Xiaoyan on the sixth floor, and then look at Sister Wang on the fourth floor, they are all women like you, but they are all more comfortable than you. ”

"That's because they're not as beautiful as me, and they're not as likable to men as I am."

Li Jie smiled very sluttyly, she unbuttoned the front of her pajamas, revealing two fat and plump breasts/room, salivating her face, half-flattering and half-threatening: "I don't want much, a small bowl is enough." Can you bear to see me stay at the door all night? Maybe I should move the bed over and it must be cool to sleep naked in the open hallway. ”

Lu Tao's face changed suddenly.

He was only twenty-four years old and had never had experience dealing with such situations. If Li Jie was a zombie, Lu Tao would not hesitate to pull out a dagger and stab her eye socket.

But the question is whether she is a human being, or a partner on the same team.

He didn't want any intimacy with this woman at all.

He was afraid that the other party would really sleep naked in front of his door.

Young people are always scrambling to deal with this kind of thing.

What's more, in Lu Tao's subconscious, he had already regarded the blind date girl as his wife who had not passed through the door at this moment, he only felt angry, panicked, and felt that something unspeakable was swelling in his heart. Words like disgusting, lewdness, and filth crossed my mind.

Lu Tao suddenly felt a little envious of the "leopard head" and others who lived upstairs. Why didn't Li Jie dare to play tricks in front of them? Why did they dare to call this woman into the house for the night and then kick her out naked and out of the house again?
