Chapter 2: The Zombies Emerge
Zeng Qiang's so-called home is nothing more than a cramped and dilapidated rental house in an urban village.
Out of the alley, Zeng Qiang turned into another alley, walked two hundred meters, stopped at a mottled red gate, opened the gate with a key, and the big yellow dog of the landlord's house in the yard looked up and continued to sleep.
This is a former self-built house, anyway, it has not been demolished because of historical problems, a total of two-story small buildings, except for the landlord himself who lives in one, the rest have been rented out.
Zeng Qiang went straight to a rental house on the second floor.
This is a room of less than ten square meters, although it is very small, but it is the place where Zeng Qiang has settled in the past few years.
The furnishings of the room were very simple, a low table, a small bench, a hardboard bed made of three pressed wood, and the appliances in the room included a rice cooker with a paint peel and an electric kettle, as well as a small fan the size of a man's head.
Zeng Qiang entered the house, closed the door, took off his dirty clothes and threw them on the ground, and lay down on the bed like a dead dog.
It was hot outside, and the temperature in the room was not low, the small electric fan was rotating non-stop, Zeng Qiang didn't feel a cool breeze, and there was still dense fine sweat on his forehead, but he didn't want to move.
After a long time, Zeng Qiang slowly opened his eyes, maybe because he was hungry, or the weather was too hot, or because he had something on his mind? Anyway, he feels very stuffy in his heart right now, and he can't sleep.
Zeng Qiang sat up with his hands up, looked at the humble dwelling, and sighed lightly.
Does he like Li Cui? Li Cui is fat and short, and now she has no job, and she stays at home all day to gnaw on her old age.
But when Li Cui was in college, she was still very good to him, and often took the snacks she brought to herself to eat, and the relationship between the two was very good at that time.
He still cherishes the five-year relationship, but thinking about the call from Li Cui's mother today, the bride price and the house matter, he feels a pain in his head.
The bride price of 300,000 yuan can't be paid, and the house can't be bought.
Flipping out his mobile phone, Zeng Qiang looked at the text message Li Cui secretly sent to himself: "Actually, my dad said that as long as you join our family, you only need to take out the bride price, and then you can move to my house to live, and you don't have to think about the house." ”
Hehe! Zeng Qiang wanted to laugh, but felt pathetic for a while.
He is actually not from Shuangqing, his hometown is in Shudu, but he has no relatives now, so he stayed in Shuangqing for Li Cui.
Of course, it is impossible to get rich, and men should have their own ambitions.
Zeng Qiang was in a depressed mood, and he couldn't think of anything for a while.
Suddenly, the corner of his eye swept to the bottle of Erguotou next to the bed, which was still left by the customer to complain and refuse to accept the takeaway delivery to the customer a month ago because of the delay, so he twisted the cap and drank it all.
In an instant, a fiery heat spread from the entire mouth to his chest, and the strong stimulation made Zeng Qiang's eyes red, and his mouth felt like it was about to erupt fire.
"Poof~~" His stomach churned, and Zeng Qiang vomited out all the things he ate when he got off work.
"Huh?"
Zeng Qiang found that there was also a lot of transparent mucus in the things he spit out, just like the woman before.
When I was feeling confused, I suddenly felt my head dizzy for a while, and I fell heavily on the bed.
......
A ray of sunlight shone on Zeng Qiang's face in the early morning, and the feeling of burning in his abdomen made him wake up, holding his stomach and lying in a daze, the strong hunger made his whole stomach twitch.
Zeng Qiang struggled to get up and shook his drowsy head, wondering if the effect of alcohol last night was still there, but the feeling of an empty stomach prompted an urgent need for food to fill up.
When he came to the corner and looked at the rice bag that had bottomed out, Zeng Qiang sighed, planning to go out to buy two steamed buns, and by the way, he would carry another bag of rice back.
Zeng Qiang opened the door, and suddenly found that the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, the big yellow dog of the landlord downstairs kept barking, and the outside of the house was also messy and very noisy, with the noise of people, the alarm of the car, and the sound of explosions in the distance.
Is there a *? Zeng Qiang's first reaction was that something must have happened, so he hurriedly ran downstairs to take a look.
Immediately he was frightened, and the wine woke up.
He saw the landlord squatting on the ground, with her back to him gnawing on something in her mouth, and from time to time making the sound of "Bazibazi" chewing, and there was a pool of blood on the ground, looking in the direction of the blood flow, the two people's legs were still twitching, and then looking up, a tenant he was familiar with was lying on his back on the ground, blood was constantly gushing out of his mouth, and his chest cavity had been opened, and the landlord's aunt was holding his heart in his hand.
Zeng Qiang's legs were weak, and he sat on the ground all of a sudden, his throat and eyes were bitter, and his already empty stomach kept bubbling sour water.
Zeng Qiang thought that he was relatively bold, but after living for more than 20 years, he couldn't help but shudder when he saw this kind of scene for the first time.
Maybe Zeng Qiang's movement was a little big, which just disturbed the "interest" of the landlord's aunt, and I saw her slowly turn her head.
What kind of face is this? A dead gray face with a pair of gray eyes, facial muscles appear very stiff, and he is grinning at Zeng Qiang, and his throat is making a "hiss" sound.
Zeng Qiang even saw the unswallowed flesh in the landlord's aunt's mouth fall out with her movements.
Although the landlord's aunt is a very philistine woman, she often speaks ill of the tenants here for the sake of rent, but it is difficult to accept Zeng Qiang for a while when she sees her current appearance.
Without giving Zeng Qiang much time to think, the landlord's aunt twisted her stiff body and walked towards him step by step.
Zeng Qiang was horrified, and just wanted to get up, but his feet were already paralyzed, and he didn't listen to the call, so he fell down again.
The distance between the two was not too far, and seeing the landlord's aunt's lifeless face getting closer and closer, a sense of powerlessness rose from Zeng Qiang's heart.
Am I just dead?
Maybe death is a relief, at least you don't have to worry about the bride price anymore, Li Cui should still be able to think of me occasionally in the future, right?
"Woohoo." The big yellow dog in the yard, which was originally on a leash, suddenly bit off the rope and rushed out, crossing in front of Zeng Qiang and the landlord's aunt.
The landlady paused, roared, and continued to pounce on the big yellow dog.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zeng Qiang finally reacted, climbed up with his hands and feet, and flashed to the side.
The big yellow dog in front of him was obviously more vigorous, one took off, dodged to the side, turned around, and began to bark again.
Zeng Qiang had countless questions in his heart, but what he wanted to know most was what was going on?
The landlady obviously wouldn't tell Zeng Qiang the answer, and the pounce just now made her look angry, turned around, stretched out her blood-stained hands and grabbed Zeng Qiang, who was closer to her.
The landlord's actions frightened Zeng Qiang's legs and stomach, his body was short, and he just dodged, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he hit the landlord's aunt hard with his shoulder, knocked her to the ground, and took the opportunity to flee to the side immediately.
The landlady fell to the ground and opened her bloody mouth, her hands kept waving, and she was very angry, and she staggered to her feet.
Zeng Qiang was a little calm at the moment, although the landlord looked very scary, but her speed was not fast, and it was even much slower than her usual walking.
Thinking of this, Zeng Qiang's heart was a little relieved, although he couldn't figure out the situation, but as long as he could overcome the fear in his heart, it should be possible to escape.
Maybe Zeng Qiang was more tempting, and the landlord's aunt didn't pay attention to the big yellow dog that kept barking on the side, and walked towards Zeng Qiang again.
"I have a grudge against you!" Zeng Qiang complained and retreated to the corner, he still had palpitations and didn't dare to face each other.
The landlord's aunt continued to pounce on Zeng.
There was no way to retreat, Zeng Qiang turned his heart sideways, picked up a brick in the corner of the wall and smashed it at the other party's head.
"Bang bang."
After a few blows in a row, the landlord's face was like overturned ketchup, her nose was glued together, and two gray eyeballs bulged out of her sockets.
The big yellow dog on the side also came up to help, and bit the landlord's aunt's leg.
"Damn, that's disgusting." Zeng Qiang opened the landlord's aunt's head with another brick.
Seeing that the landlord's aunt finally fell to the ground and stopped moving, Zeng Qiang sat on the ground and panted heavily.
The few blows just now cost him a lot of physical strength, and the pressure in his heart was also very great, his lungs at this time were like bellows, and his head was buzzing non-stop.
The big yellow dog no longer barked, and followed Zeng Qiang's example and lay on the ground and stuck out his tongue.
"Thank you, just now." Zeng Qiang touched the head of the big yellow dog with his hand, and when he saw that it did not object, he rubbed it on its fur by the way, and secretly wiped off the blood stains on his hands.
After a short rest, Zeng Qiang looked around, and found that there were noises in many rental houses, he knocked on the door again, and it was full of all kinds of roars, obviously the people in the whole yard were mutated, and fortunately, everyone had the habit of locking the door at night, even if they mutated, they couldn't get out.
This place is not to stay for long!
