Chapter 1: The End of the World is Coming
"No ......"
Ling Xiu let out an exclamation and sat up from the bed, his clothes were wet with cold sweat, he sat on the bed and gasped~ for a long time, and it took a long time before he slowly came back to his senses.
Originally...... It's a nightmare!
Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Ling Xiu exhaled a long breath.
In the nightmare just now, he dreamed that a little girl was surrounded by a large group of zombies, and those zombies tore her petite body apart, and then pulled out the bloody intestines, put them in her mouth and devoured them wantonly, and the little girl hissed and stretched out her little hand to call for help.
"Brother...... Brother save me ......"
And he, on the other hand, could do nothing.
Turning his head, he looked out the window.
The sky was gray and gloomy, the air was filled with a foul smell like a dead fish, and there was the sound of zombies stepping on broken glass outside the building, that sound was cold to the bones, and Ling Xiu's body couldn't help but feel a bad chill.
smiled bitterly, a nightmare can wake up, but the current real world is a nightmare that can never wake up, sometimes, he can't tell whether it's a dream or reality, and this nightmare that can never wake up started half a month ago.
……
Ling Xiu is twenty-five years old this year, has been graduating from university for two and a half years, works in a processing and manufacturing factory in Haiyang City, and receives a salary of four or five thousand yuan a month, although he will not live on the streets or starve to death, but in a big city like Haiyang City, this salary is simply insignificant, except for some necessary expenses, it is very good to have two thousand yuan left every month.
This situation made him very distressed, thinking about the house of eight or nine thousand one square meters, and then thinking about the nearly 200,000 daughter-in-law Ben, he even felt hopeless. He tried his best to change the situation, but the cruel reality still overwhelmed him.
At this time, a virus called "X" spread rapidly around the world as if airborne, after humans were infected with this virus, first cold, fever and cough, the spirit slowly became sluggish, without any appetite, and with the prolongation of the infection, the patient's muscles began to atrophy, the skin ulcerated and pus, and the whole body also emitted an unpleasant stench, until the painful death.
It's just that death is not the end, but the beginning of a nightmare......
Because those who are infected with the X virus and die are quickly resurrected, and after the resurrection, they become bloodthirsty monsters, biting people when they see them, and the bitten people are also infected with the X virus, and then turn into monsters to attack other humans.
Everything is exactly the same as the situation in the American blockbuster "Resident Evil", the world is slowly reduced to a world of zombies.
On the night of the outbreak of the X virus, Ling Xian bought five or six hundred yuan of supplies in the supermarket to fill his hungry belly when he was working part-time at night.
The night is like ink, this year's winter is particularly cold, the temperature at night has dropped below zero, the air is foggy, the cold wind blows on the face, just like a sharp knife cutting the skin on the face, the pain is unbearable.
The street was quiet, and there were no human figures in sight, only a few abandoned nylon bags that had been blown away by the cold wind, and the sound of "salsa" could be heard from afar.
"At this time, cars are constantly going back and forth, and there are many aunts dancing square dances on the empty lawn, today...... What's going on? It's unusually quiet! ”
Ling Xiu muttered in his heart, and glanced back and forth, left and right, the entire street, he was actually alone.
"Is it because the weather is too cold, and everyone is huddled in the warm bed at home early?" He thought.
Although the atmosphere was a little weird, it could even be said to be weird, but thinking that the Spring Festival holiday was about to usher in ten days, Ling Xiu put these feelings behind him, and rushed towards his rental house while humming a small song with a large bag of supplies in both hands.
When I came to a sentry box, the lights in the sentry box were on, and the uniformed community security guards were sitting on their seats, conscientious and loyal. Just looking at the back, Ling Xiu knew that the security guard on duty today was Lao Zhang, a person he was familiar with.
Lao Zhang is a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old man, he doesn't know what his name is, they met on the basketball court, and they are friends.
Ling Xiu has a withdrawn personality and doesn't like crowded and lively places very much, but he has a soft spot for basketball, and Lao Zhang also happens to like to play basketball, and the two can always meet on the court.
"Knock Knock"
Ling Xiu walked over, his right hand gently knocked on the glass of the sentry box, and his face was ready to show a friendly smile to greet Lao Zhang. It's just that the old Zhang Wensi inside didn't move, still sitting with his back to him, and the back still gave people a penetrating sense of dead silence.
It can't be sitting asleep, right?!
Ling Xiu guessed, then knocked again, and called: "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang......"
At this time, Lao Zhang's shoulders shrugged slightly, and his head slowly turned to this side. Seeing this, Ling Xiu hurriedly bent down to get the ham in the bag to share with Lao Zhang.
However, when he just raised his head, a face with extremely distorted facial features, festering and suppurating everywhere appeared in sight, this face was pale and dry, dry and devoid of moisture, most of the two eyes were occupied by the whites of the eyes, the pupils shrunk into a small dot, the upper and lower lips disappeared, the viscous blood dripped down the corners of the mouth, and the two rows of yellowed and blackened teeth looked particularly eerie in the hazy blood.
Ling Xiu's eyes widened, and a layer of goosebumps appeared all over his body in an instant, only to feel a cool breath infused from the Heavenly Spirit Gai and down to the soles of his feet, causing his entire body to be cold, and even the ham he was holding fell to the ground.
From this face, which was only separated from him by a layer of glass, it was vaguely recognizable that the person inside was Lao Zhang, but ...... Why did Lao Zhang become like this?
Just when he was stunned, Lao Zhang suddenly attacked him with his teeth and claws, even though it was through the glass of the sentry box, he could still hear the low hiss in Lao Zhang's throat, the voice was hoarse, gloomy, and full of desire for flesh and blood.
Ling Xiu was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he sat on the cold ground.
"Bang"
Lao Zhang, who turned into a zombie, hit his head on the glass of the sentry box, and suddenly blood splattered, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the entire sentry box trembled, and the originally clean and transparent glass was also covered with gurgling blood. Because of the horror, Ling Xiu's eyes widened to the extreme, and it was like tens of thousands of bees buzzing in his mind, and the sound of "buzzing" filled his entire mind.
He took a few quick and deep breaths, only to see Lao Zhang hit the glass of the sentry box twice, and he almost knocked his eyeballs out of his sockets.
Ling Xiu was so frightened that he picked up the nearest bag of supplies and ran away. There was the sound of the wind whirring in his ears, the cold air was inhaled through his mouth, and his throat was invaded by the cold air, like a knife scraping, but he didn't have time to care about all this, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
While running, Lao Zhang's rotten face and his oozing hoarse voice were deeply imprinted in his mind, lingering, and he kept asking urgently: What happened? What's going on?
