It was late at night.

Lu Ziming found that he had made a mistake when he was hiding from the zombies, there was no traffic police to show him the way, and he couldn't walk on the street openly, he was like a thief hiding in the dark, where no one appeared where, but he found that he didn't know where he went.

Looking at the sign at the entrance of the community, Lu Ziming had an urge to go berserk, "Tama, Lao Tzu cursed your whole family for having a son who has no ass, draw a plan of the community, and don't know how to mark the direction, it won't be a graduate from New Oriental."

Regardless of whether Lu Ziming understands it or not, the floor plan of the community still provides some important information, the left side of the community is the Huxi Road he is looking for, and then the research found that as long as you find the tallest building in the community, you can judge the direction you are in.

The whole neighborhood was dark, and there was no sound except for the occasional sight of a few zombies wandering. Lu Ziming knows that there are many zombies and survivors in the community, and after the outbreak of the virus, the survivors hide in the room and dare not go out, and the zombies are locked in the room and can't get out, which is the main reason why there are not many zombies in the community.

Lu Ziming looked up at the dark residential buildings, raised his legs and walked into the residential community, where there was a gate guard next to the gate of the community to monitor the residents who enter and exit the community every day. The lifting pole that controls the entry and exit of the vehicle has been broken and fell on the flower bed next to it, and a black Daben rushed up the steps and rushed into the gate. A man in a security suit, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, was rushed in and slammed into the crack of the door, his eyes fixed on the driver's seat.

The front windshield of Daben has been cracked, the airbag is fully opened, the cab door has been opened, and the driver of the hit-and-run inside has disappeared.

Lu Ziming bent his waist and scurried from behind one dwarf tree to another, approaching the edge of the community, and the dwarf trees, flower beds and rockeries became the best cover for Lu Ziming.

From the plane sign at the entrance of the community, it can be known that the center of this community is a huge oval circular closed main road, and a number of secondary roads and residential groups are composed, the whole community is divided into several independent living areas, each living area is cut off by streams, the center actually builds a small artificial lake, the whole community has a clear hierarchical layout, beautiful environment, belongs to the high-end residential community.

The prosperity and tranquility of the neighborhood have long since ceased to exist, and the high-end and taste have been wiped out, with highly decomposed corpses everywhere, and discarded vehicles blocking the roads of the community, even if the zombies walk in them.

Turning an intersection, I heard the sound of zombies banging on the iron door, followed the source of the sound to the opposite side of a 16-story high-rise building, and hid behind a camphor tree as large as an umbrella.

Not far in front of him, seven or eight filthy zombies appeared, perhaps due to psychological reasons, hearing the "buzzing" sound of flies around the zombies, which made Lu Ziming think of the maggots entrenched in the carrion of zombies. The zombies are attacking the security door of a unit of the high-rise building, and there seems to be a survivor figure shaking behind the security door, through the gap in the security door, as if they are attacking the zombies with some kind of weapon.

Under normal circumstances, the survivor is reluctant to go out of his room, and when this person comes out in the middle of the night, something must have happened.

"To save or not to save?"

Lu Ziming didn't get too entangled on this issue, Lu Ziming didn't roar when he saw the injustice, but quickly shot an arrow, and with a "whoosh" sound, it hit the back of a zombie's head.

The zombies besieging the anti-theft door did not notice Lu Ziming behind him, and were completely attracted by the people behind the anti-theft door, "Don't miss the opportunity!" Lu Ziming shot three arrows in a row, because the distance was very close, and the hit rate was 100%. Just as Lu Ziming was about to shoot the fifth arrow, the zombies finally noticed the sound of the bowstring and turned around and pounced on Lu Ziming.

"It's too late to find out now", there are still two zombies left, Lu Ziming quickly shot an arrow in his hand, then dropped the bow and arrow, grabbed the fire axe and rushed up, picked up the fire axe and cut the last zombie to the ground.

The security door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a middle-aged man in his thirties came out of it, with **** upper body, shorts on his lower body, and a wooden stick in his hand, and a seemingly sharp kitchen knife tied in front of the wooden stick.

"Thank you for saving me! Who are you ......", the man clenched the wooden stick in his hand and looked at Lu Ziming who was rummaging for arrows on the ground.

"Passing by, it's dangerous to come out so late, go back quickly. ”

Only then did the man see Lu Ziming's immature face, and he couldn't say a word for a long time in surprise, and said for a long time: "Little brother, the water has been out of water upstairs for a long time, I came downstairs to fetch water, and I didn't dare to go downstairs during the day, so I only secretly went downstairs at night to see the ...... by the lake."

Lu Ziming only noticed at this time that there were two white plastic buckets behind the man, and the water used in the high-rise building was a secondary water supply, that is, the water was pumped to the roof with pressure first, and then the secondary water supply was used to use the principle of water flowing to a low place, not to mention that the tap water had stopped early, even if there was water, there was no electricity, and the residents on the roof could not drink the water.

"May I ask what direction Huxi Road is", Lu Ziming was not interested in caring about the man's drinking water.

The man pointed to his left side and said, "Little brother, why are you looking for Huxi Road late, it's not safe on the road with black lights, or you can go to my house to rest for a while, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow."

Lu Ziming thought about it, what the man said was reasonable, it was already midnight, and it was useless to find No. 51 Huxi Road, so it was better to rest at the man's house for one night and say: "I'll help you go fetch water, you wait for me here."

"That's going to do," the man was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong with this, it's not safe for you to go, let me come", he just passed by the central artificial lake, and knew the situation there, even if he repaid the man's love for staying overnight.

The man watched Lu Ziming disappear into the night with a plastic bucket, and sighed softly, "What a good child, I still know how to help others, this is really not a human life, and I don't know when it will be a head."

The man stood downstairs in a daze, holding a wooden stick in his hand, his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction where Lu Ziming was gone, and he was secretly sweating for Lu Ziming.

About five minutes later, Lu Ziming's figure walked out of the darkness, carrying two heavy buckets in his hands, and walked towards the man with difficulty.

The man's nose was a little sour, and he took a few steps to snatch the bucket in Lu Ziming's hand and said, "Let me come, you rest for a while."

"It's okay, I'm okay", Lu Ziming and the man walked into the corridor with a bucket.

Lu Ziming and the man walked into the corridor one after another, the corridor was very dark, the man took out a small flashlight from behind, and with the faint light of the flashlight, the two walked up the stairs.

Walking up the stairs from the corridor, you can see a lot of highly decomposed corpses from time to time, most of these corpses have their necks bitten off by zombies, and their heads are hanging to the side, so that they cannot mutate into zombies.

Many of the corpses had their abdomen hollowed out, their ribs had been torn off, dark yellow pus oozed deep into their hollow eye sockets, and some carrion remained on their cheeks and the back of their heads. Where the corpse came into contact with the ground, there was a puddle of extremely viscous, blackened liquid, with a disgusting smell. The skin and muscles of many of the corpses had broken down and liquefied, and countless numbling white maggots could be seen wriggling inside, using the human body as their nursery, ready to absorb nutrients.

Lu Ziming and the man climbed very slowly, and after the two reported their names to each other, they talked while walking, and learned some about each other's situation. The man's name is Cheng Chen, a mechanic at the car factory, and he has an eight-year-old daughter at home, and his wife has turned into a zombie and is locked in a room.

"There is still some rice at home, but there is a lack of water, and the children are small, so I don't dare to go out alone to find food. At first, I always thought that someone would come to the rescue, but after waiting for so many days, I didn't see anything, I wanted to go out to find food, and I was worried about running into zombies, so I only dared to go around in this building, if I didn't meet you, I really didn't know how to ......live this day", Cheng Chen babbled a lot, so that Lu Ziming had a general understanding of Cheng Chen's life.

"Are there any other survivors in this building?"

"Yes, there are quite a few, the situation is basically the same, most of them dare not go out, and a few are bold and never come back after going out...... , you are the first outsider I have ever met these days, and it is not easy to survive this year...... ”

"Hmm", Lu Ziming nodded silently: "The situation outside is very bad, there are zombies everywhere, although it is safe to stay here, it is not a long-term solution, have you considered it in the future?"

"...... in the future!" Cheng Chen stopped and rested: "I can't take care of it now, then I will think about the future problems, take one step at a time, who knows when it will be a head."

Cheng Chen was at a loss, the road ahead was hidden in the dark, the great sadness and despair vaguely soaked through the empty heart, slowly seeping into the humble end, memories and reality are sometimes confused, and there is no hope for the future.

Walking to Chengchen's home, Lu Ziming felt his hesitation, the house was filled with a foul smell, and in the summer, thick quilts were hung on the doors and windows to block the candles in the room. The room was disorganized, a few pieces of dismantled furniture were lying there crookedly, a messy desk was placed on a pot of bamboo, which symbolized joy and wealth, the room had not been tidied up for a long time, and there was a smell of smoke and fire, and an eight-year-old girl was looking at the lake water that had just come back with a dirty face and swallowing saliva.

"Wan'er, this water is raw, you can't drink it, you have to boil it before you drink it", Cheng Chen stroked Cheng Qianwan's head lovingly, with a painful expression on his face.

Lu Ziming took out a bottle of fruit oranges and a few biscuits from his mountaineering bag and stuffed Cheng Qianwan's hand: "Wan'er, you're hungry, eat quickly!"

Cheng Chen opened his mouth, and swallowed back if he wanted to stop it, these things were nothing in civilized time, but now they have become incomparably precious, making it difficult for Cheng Chen to refuse for a while.
