Chapter 8 Hatchet

When she opened the circle of friends, Wang Xiaodie saw that it was overwhelmingly forwarding all kinds of rabies news.

Some colleagues and customers posted photos and videos of rabies attacking passers-by in their circle of friends, and then the comments said that it was not rabies, it was a zombie.

Wang Xiaodie picked up a piece of pineapple and ate it slowly, her fingertips sliding on the screen, she saw that many people living in the city wanted to drive to the suburbs or rural areas to take refuge, but they were afraid to go on the road alone, so she called someone to partner with her in the circle of friends and went out of the city together.

Wang Xiaodie chuckled, just go to the countryside, why do you come to the suburbs, do these people still think that the suburbs are still the same sparsely populated places as before?

Alas, I knew that I wouldn't spend money in the past two years, and I could buy a low-end Chery if I saved up the money, and when the time came, she couldn't bear it, she could still drive away, and she was really blind to spend so much money on her driver's license.

Refreshed the circle of friends, found that the style of painting in it has changed from escaping the city to a food crisis, some people began to ask how to make easy-to-save food, some people were robbed of buying things in the supermarket, and at this time there are also idle moments of friends to complain, and there are also messages that they want to exchange luxury goods for food and water, is this person stupid, what is more precious than water and food in troubled times, give her a hundred catties of gold and don't change!

Wang Xiaodie looked at the circle of friends full of negative emotions, and somehow a sense of superiority swelled up in her heart, and at this moment she felt that she was the serf who turned over and sang.

One of the customers said that a few security guards knocked on his door just now, saying that it was to check whether the residents had pets.

This customer didn't have pets at home, but he didn't dare to open the door, just said that a few buddies in the family were playing cards, so he sent those security guards away.

As for why he didn't cooperate with the inspection, it was because in addition to the video phone at the door that could only see the head, there was a hidden surveillance camera on the top of his door, which he could see clearly in the mobile phone.

Looking at the surveillance map sent by this customer, Wang Xiaodie didn't think that these security guards were going to check if anyone had pets.

Wang Xiaodie looked at the bright kitchen knife held by a security guard in the picture, and then she was a little panicked, the first few days of this apocalypse may be fine, everyone has food at home, as long as they are not hungry, they may be fine, but what if those people really come to the day when they run out of ammunition and food? She didn't think her home's thin, one-layer metal door would hold off a hungry maniac.

Fluttershy puts down her phone, puts the pineapple back in the fridge, washes the handle, and finds the whetstone in the corner of the cupboard.

Instead of taking her Western-style kitchen knife for chopping vegetables, Wang Xiaodie took the whetstone to the bathroom, then turned to the bedroom, where Wang Xiaodie leaned on the edge of the bed with one hand and took out a yellow wooden box placed under the bed with the other.

Open the wooden box, there is a wood knife that exudes a dark cold light lying in the box, Wang Xiaodie's grandfather was still alive at that time, he was a famous blacksmith in ten miles and eight towns, and anyone who needed a hoe and kitchen knife would basically come to her grandfather.

Later, when the old man was old and his hands were weak, he decided not to be a blacksmith, but her grandfather made a pair of iron tools for her and her brother before extinguishing the fire in the furnace that melted the iron.

Originally, she had been given a scider-hook sickle, but her brother thought it was better than his wood knife, so he rolled around and replaced it.

Hmph, although the boss on her face was not happy at that time, but her heart was happy, her family has been patriarchal for several lifetimes, and she really looked out the window when her grandfather gave her brother a firewood knife.

This firewood knife, the old man used the good iron at the bottom of the box to beat it, and he should have thought of giving it to his younger brother to pass it on, but unfortunately the old man didn't expect it until the day he died, and the firewood knife made of rare iron had already fallen into his hands.

Wang Xiaodie gently stroked the firewood knife that was a little pressing, the firewood knife is formed in one piece, unlike those bargains in hardware stores, the handles are made of wood, which is not forbidden at all, but for practical convenience, the old man still wrapped a few circles of wolf skin on the handle.

Wang Xiaodie held the firewood knife and checked it, this kind of firewood knife is generally used by men, so the size will be a little larger, although such a firewood knife looks bulky, but a tree with a thick bowl mouth can be cut with two or three knives.

"It's been a long time since I've chopped wood, so I have to get the feel back quickly."

Wang Xiaodie was drenching water on the whetstone while sharpening the firewood knife, she was still very skilled in the work of sharpening the knife, after all, she had done this work before.

Seeing that the blade of the knife could be sharpened, Wang Xiaodie wiped off the stone chips with a rag, because there was no oil at home for the maintenance of ironware, so Wang Xiaodie smeared some peanut oil on the surface of the firewood knife.

Wang Xiaodie searched around the house, and finally found a wooden stool bought last year in the corner, put the stool upside down, Wang Xiaodie held a firewood knife in her hand and gestured a few times on the beam connecting the stool legs, and after determining the proportion, she raised the firewood knife, and picked it up with waist strength and hand strength.

"Click"

The knife fell, and the wood broke.

Wang Xiaodie scraped the blade with her thumb, and then laughed with satisfaction, she was very satisfied with the sharpness of the firewood knife, but she hadn't done heavy physical work for several years, and she was still numb from the shock just now.

Wang Xiaodie took a few ice cubes from the refrigerator and put them in a plastic bag, and then put them on the tiger's mouth ice compress in her left hand.

Wang Xiaodie was lying on the bed when she was doing the ice last night, but it turned out to be too cold and comfortable, and as soon as her spirit relaxed, her eyelids came together as if she had her own consciousness.

After Wang Xiaodie fell asleep for an unknown amount of time, she was awakened by the sound of broken glass.

"Ahh

Wang Xiaodie sat up from the bed violently, and the person immediately woke up from the momentary high tension.

Wang Xiaodie wiped the sweat from her neck, and then carefully got out of bed with a firewood knife tightly, because she was afraid that others would have bad thoughts when they saw someone in her family, so she only dared to open the curtain and look out.

If she heard it right, it was the sound of glass breaking, and she seemed to hear the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Wang Xiaodie's heart has been tense, hoping that it is not what she thinks, but coincidentally, just as she tilts her head to the right, she happens to see the scene she least wants to see.

It was not their building that had the accident, but Building 7 opposite, but because the distance between the buildings in this community was not too far, she could see the situation on the other side clearly.

The sound of glass breaking just now came from the 6th floor opposite, and at this time, the window of the house had already broken a hole, and if you looked closely, you could even see blood stained on the broken edge of the hole.

Oh my God, the glass of the building is no longer able to withstand the frosted glass that used to shatter into slag with a punch, but it is tempered glass, this can be broken, and it must take a lot of strength.

Wang Xiaodie looked down along the trajectory of the broken glass, but when she saw the third floor, she didn't dare to look down anymore, she was afraid of seeing too bloody pictures.

But just when Wang Xiaodie hesitated to take another look, the corners of her eyes suddenly flickered a bright red.
