Chapter 3: Escape
Hearing the sound from upstairs, Nangong Yukun was stunned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He didn't expect to meet a living person at this time.
Yes, in the previous eight days, except for zombies, he had not encountered a single person in the entire huge raccoon city.
Thinking so in his heart, Nangong Yukun immediately replied in fluent English (easy to read, all English will be automatically translated into Chinese in the future): "Yes.. Yes, I'm human too!" he said, slowly opening the security door, stepping over the zombie at his feet, and looking upstairs.
The upstairs door was opened with a small crack, revealing a middle-aged Indian uncle in his forties and fifties. He was startled when he saw the zombie corpse on the ground, but he was relieved when he turned his gaze to Nangong Yukun. Although he didn't know why so many people suddenly turned into that kind of man-eating monster, he hadn't seen a talking monster yet, so Nangong Yukun in front of him was obviously a human.
"Oh God! great, there are survivors here! Quick, come in!" the Indian man was already incoherent with excitement, and he could imagine how much of a surprise it would be for him to see a living person after experiencing that man-eating monster.
Nangong Yukun was also a little happy, after all, he was only a 17-year-old high school student, but he still controlled his emotions well, followed the stairs up this floor, and then looked at his uncle's house.
The living room of the room is quite large, with floor tiles installed, and the dining room, kitchen, and bathroom are on the left side of the living room. Although overall it is not as beautiful as the one he stayed in before, after installing the security door and protective fence, the safety factor has improved a lot.
As if hearing the door open, a small head suddenly poked out of one of the rooms - a little boy about 4 or 5 years old. Looking at this little boy with nervousness written on his face, Nangong Yukun guessed that he should be the son of an Indian uncle.
After the uncle introduced Nangong Yukun into the house, he immediately closed the door, as if there were many man-eating monsters outside the door. He then took a bottle of mineral water to Nangong Yukun, then sat on the sofa in the living room, sighed, and said, "Young man, tell me about your situation." ”
"My name is Nan...... Carl, is a lawyer. About a little over a month ago, he was in a car accident after work and was taken to the hospital. But when I woke up, it was... This world has become like this!" Nangong Yukun pretended to be very sad and briefly described his experience to the Indian uncle in the past few days. "I had a friend here before, so I came to see him, but I guess ....."
Nangong Yukun still kept a thought, and did not say his real name, but said an English name. But except for the car accident and the name, everything else is true, so the uncle did not doubt him, comforted Nangong Yukun, and talked about his experience.
The uncle's name was "Mahson Mohammad Haddan", and he was originally just an employee of a courier company. A few days after the incident, they still had a trace of illusions, imagining that it was just a problem in their area, and I believe that the government would come to their rescue soon.
But after a few weeks, he knew it wasn't going to be easy. Every day the food in the house was decreasing, and the water in the pipes and the rain in the sky could not be drunk, so Uncle Mawson finally couldn't help but go downstairs.
After seeing the scene outside and the man-eating monsters, he was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed water and food from a nearby supermarket and ran back, never daring to go out again. Unlike Nangong Yukun, a "traverser" who knew that he would be able to leave in two days, he would never be able to leave.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a son by his side, Uncle Mawson might not have been able to bear the pressure and commit suicide. So if he hadn't suddenly heard the voices of zombies and Nangong Yukun today, he wouldn't have dared to open the door and come out of anything.
But Nangong Yukun knew that it was impossible for the government army to come to deal with it, so he sighed and said to Mo Sen: "Now since you can't wait for the government's rescue, then ..... At present, it seems that the zombies are still relatively weak, I don't know if there will be changes in the future, let's take advantage of this time to collect more food, and then see if there are any cars with better performance,"
Although Nangong Yukun said so, in fact, for himself, there was no need to do it at all, after all, his soul would return in two days. What's more, the road to find a car and shelter is even more dangerous.
But after seeing Uncle Mawson, he still felt a little compassion, if he didn't help them, sooner or later, their father and son would not be able to escape the danger of being infected or starved to death, not to mention such a young child.
"This...."Uncle Mawson also knew that if he stayed like this, sooner or later it would be a dead end. At this time, the little boy didn't know when he came out, and sat beside Mawson obediently. Looking at his son beside him, Mawson's eyes were full of doting.
Then he gritted his teeth, looked out the window at the night that was getting darker, and then said, "Okay, then you can rest first, and then we will leave early tomorrow morning!"
Nangong Yukun nodded after listening, indeed, the perception of zombies does not decrease with darkness. On the contrary, it is at night that humans suffer the most, so it is much better to move during the day than to walk at night.
Nothing was said all night.
"Ridding, stay at home. Don't walk around and don't cry loudly, Daddy will be back soon. ”
Around noon the next day, Mawson prepared a little, ate something, and then said goodbye to his son.
Redding is 4 years old, and he is still very ignorant of what is happening outside. But how long has passed, coupled with the conversation between Nangong Yukun and his father yesterday, he probably guessed something, and when he heard Mo Sen say this, he nodded sensibly.
"Let's go......" Mawson gave him a reluctant last look, then took a deep breath and opened the security door.
But when passing by the zombie corpses downstairs, Mawson, an ordinary person, almost vomited.
"This... Isn't this Sean, how can even he .... Alas..."Although the corpse is no longer in shape, the neighbors of more than ten years still let Mawson recognize him at a glance.
He sighed, but didn't say anything, just silently stepped over the corpse and continued walking. Nangong Yukun didn't say anything and followed.
Walking out into the street, looking at the dilapidated houses and buildings around them, both of them looked a little desolate. Led by Mawson, walk to a van across the street. Seeing the car, Nangong Yukun was overjoyed, he knew that in this case, this kind of car made of iron sheet was what they needed most.
But the truth is not so smooth......
"Damn, why can't it start!" Mawson opened the door and plugged in the key, but couldn't start the car.
Nangong Yukun's heart was cold, and what he was most worried about really happened. But he is also a high school student no matter how he says it, and what he learned in school has not been returned to the teacher so quickly. So he immediately asked, "Is there an auto parts store around here?"
"Steam... Auto parts shops?ah, some of them! It's not far from here, not a kilometer away!" Mawson was stunned for a moment, and then said.
Nangong Yukun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, take me there." ”
Led by a local, Mawson, he picked a few places along the way. Ten minutes later, I arrived at the auto parts store, due to the end of the world, the door of the store was lucky not to be locked, and after looking for a while, Nangong Yukun found a jumper cable and a battery.
"Huh?!" While passing by the counter, Nangong Yukun suddenly found something interesting. He didn't say anything, silently took it, and walked out.
Back in the car, Nangong Yukun connected the positive terminal of the dead battery with the positive terminal of the battery, and after connecting the jumper cable, about 5 minutes later, the battery was charged to the dead battery. Once the charging was complete, he removed the jumper cables in the reverse order in which they were connected.
"This... Is this the end?" Although I have been a veteran driver for decades, I still have a blank slate.
"Hmm. Let's go, let's go and pick it up. Nangong Yukun tried to start the car, and the car immediately ignited and caught fire.
"Oh... Good, good. After Uncle Mo Sen reacted, he had some confidence that Nangong Yukun could take him and his son to escape.
Sitting in the car, Nangong Yukun drove slowly home. Along the way, he also encountered many slow-walking zombies, and tried to attack them after seeing the van.
But for them, the speed of the van was as fast as the wind, so after a futile chase for a while, they had no choice but to give up. But still followed the van all the way.
"It's strange, why are there so many zombies on the road today?" Uncle Mo Sen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said to himself, but then he and Nangong Yukun were suddenly stunned, as if they remembered something, and called out in unison:
"Not good, Redding!"
"Not good, son!"
