Chapter 5: The Moment of Horror
The house next door is also a one-bedroom apartment, but the space is much larger. The smell of the house was strong, and there were pools of dried black blood on the floor and on the sofa.
Ling Xiu covered his nose, searching for food in this strange room, and after searching around, he couldn't help but be a little shocked, it was also a rental room, but the configuration in this rental room was quite luxurious.
Digital TV, refrigerator, air conditioner, water heater, washing machine, public stereo, Simmons queen bed...... Wait, everything, Ling Xiu was even more surprised that he also found a key to a BMW car in the drawer of the bedside table.
So rich?!
Ling Xiu felt unbelievable, a rich man actually lived in a rental house here? He couldn't figure out why.
Putting away the car keys, Ling Xiu continued to search, in a corner of the kitchen, he found a bag of leftover rice, he was immediately overjoyed, and lifted it, it weighed more than twenty pounds, he hadn't tasted rice for half a month, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva at the thought of having hot rice to eat.
Subsequently, Ling Xiu found another gas canister, and the instrument table showed that the amount of this gas canister was full, and there was not much gas left in his house.
After getting the rice and gas canisters, he was in a good mood, so he first took the bag of rice to his rented house, and before leaving, he saw that there was a radio on the table, thought about it, and took it away.
Before turning back to get the gas canister, Ling Xiu didn't forget to check the zombies under the corridor and make sure that they were still wandering aimlessly on the corresponding floors before relieving himself and walking into the house next door.
Closing the gate and removing the pipe, Ling Xiu directly carried the gas canister on his shoulder.
He walked very carefully, for fear of making a big move, but the more careful he was, the easier it was to make mistakes. Before coming to the door of his house, he was about to step over the corpse of the male zombie in front of him, but his toes were not raised high enough, and he actually fell on the shoulder of the zombie, plus he was still carrying a gas tank with a considerable amount of weight on his shoulder, Ling Xiu's center of gravity was suddenly unstable, and the whole person fell forward.
Oops!!
The moment he fell, these two words popped up in Ling Xiu's mind.
"Bang Dang"
The gas canister on the shoulder slammed into the half-open security door with a loud bang, and then collided violently with the ground, the sonorous sound of metal swayed like the sound of a bell, and the security door was locked after just a hit.
Ling Xiu fell to the ground on his back, his elbow rubbed against his own security door, and a sour and spicy pain welled up in his brain.
At this moment, it seemed that all the voices were gone, Ling Xiu didn't dare to move, and pricked up his ears to listen.
After a second of silence, there was a hoarse hissing sound from the throat of the zombie in the downstairs corridor, and then he heard the irregular footsteps and the sound of the zombie hitting the guardrail, even if he didn't see the situation in the downstairs with his own eyes, Ling Xiu could imagine that the seven or eight zombies were stumbling towards here in a frenzy.
Damn it!!!
Bursting out in a cold sweat, Ling Xiu got up from the ground like an electric shock, took out the key from his pocket and went to open his own security door, when people were panicking, a small thing to open the door felt extremely difficult to do, the key was difficult to aim at the keyhole, and the key in his hand suddenly fell to the ground under the random insertion.
"Me! @#%¥%……”
Ling Xiu was so anxious that he cursed, listening to the screams of zombies and footsteps in the downstairs getting closer and closer, he wanted to pull the security door open directly, but he knew that it was impossible, if he wanted to open the security door, he had to use the key. Bend down, pick up the key, and force your composure to open the door.
This time it was opened, and at the moment of opening the security door, he clearly saw that a zombie had appeared at the entrance of the building and pounced on him with teeth and claws.
Taking a sharp breath, Ling Xiu slid into the rental room like a loach, and then ignored everything and immediately closed the security door.
"Bang"
The zombies who arrived were blocked by the security door, and the huge impact slammed the security door violently. Subsequently, six or seven zombies arrived one after another, and they didn't seem to see the existence of the security door, so they only pounced on Ling Xiu inside the security door, and they all collided violently with the security door.
Ling Xiu's back was cold, his breathing became rapid, and he closed the door before leaning against the wall to the side and slowly adjusting his mind. If the door opens more slowly, he will be torn apart by the zombies, thinking of this, a cool breath surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
After calming down a little, Ling Xiu realized that the key had not been removed from the security door.
"Zombies don't use keys to open doors, do they?!"
Looking at the closed door, the sound of the zombie's sharp nails scratching the door made people feel frightened, it was good that the key was not inserted on the security door outside, but now he didn't feel safe at all.
……
It was another morning, and Ling Xiu woke up from his nightmare again. Opening the bedroom door and seeing that the door connecting to the corridor was still tightly closed, Ling Xiu was relieved, and then walked into the bathroom to wash.
"Bang"
A sound came from the security door, and Ling Xiu frowned, he was really annoyed.
Since three days ago, the zombies in the corridor have been guarding the door and not leaving, the desire for flesh and blood makes them keep destroying the security door, and the sound of scratching the door is even more harsh, it took him two days to fully get used to it, so that he finally slept a long night last night, but he still had a nightmare.
After washing, Ling Xiu cooked a bowl of white porridge and sat on the sofa to drink it.
The next-door neighbor's gas tank was thrown out of the door because of an accident, but the storage of his own gas tank is getting smaller and smaller, Ling Xiu calculated, according to this consumption rate, within five days, his own gas will all be burned out, without gas he can't cook rice, and he can't boil water to drink, which is a headache.
So, you have to deal with the zombies blocking in front of the door and get the gas canister outside!
Thinking of this, he picked up the wooden fork again and came to the door.
Only separated from the zombie by two doors, Ling Xiu's breathing involuntarily became rapid, the hand holding the fork unconsciously increased its strength, his throat and eyes became dry, and he kept swallowing his saliva.
Open the door lock, slowly open the door a gap, the zombies through the security door smelled the breath of the living, and suddenly roared madly, and the security door was squeezed by them and screamed.
A thick stench hit, but Ling Xiu had already adapted to it, looking at the zombies outside the security door, as soon as he gritted his teeth, the fork in his hand quickly pierced through the gap between the iron railings of the security door, hitting the eyebrows of a zombie.
"Poof"
The force was too great, and the stench of jet-black blood splattered out, and many of it landed on Ling Xiu's arms, face, and chest.
