Book 456 The Evolution of Man
Early the morning after the poisonous sands appeared, a pair of neighbor brothers who lived on the fifth floor of Il's house discovered something that was enough to make them sweat coldly. Violence would occur in the building, and the two brothers had known about it for a long time. The unsettling noise of last night had made them guess the worst. After the noise stopped, they kept comforting each other, don't scare yourself, everything will be fine.
Now the facts presented before their eyes are clear, and they really should be afraid. As soon as I went out early in the morning, a dead body with a blunt object in the head appeared on the third floor. The bloodstain that was pursued, and the person who killed the dead body was the strange neighbor he had never interacted with.
The brothers were almost stunned by the streak of blood on the ground, which symbolized the ironclad evidence, and let out a woman-like scream, and hurriedly went back to the room to close the door, sealing the door with the heaviest piece of furniture. They hadn't heard of their neighbor being a character who could brutally kill people, and they thought it was just a quiet office worker who went out early and came home late.
The screams of the two intensified the horror of the building, and also woke up many of the occupants who had just fallen asleep. After yesterday's terrible night, this sunny day now seems more reassuring and easier to fall asleep. However, hunger is also amplified with the change of mood, and there are fewer people in the family who have food in store than expected, and several families are in a state of not firing and having no food at home.
The family is mostly a single young male, and hunger has made these people try to get out of the safe room and forage for food, just like the little brother from last night.
There are two people who walked out of the room this time, and they are both residents on the second floor and know each other. The two of them wore similar clothes to cover their mouths and noses, and with Chinese-style ornamental swords in their hands that they bought during their travels, they knocked on doors along the corridor. Begging is the same as begging for food.
Some of the people they knocked on the door were at home. However, in this situation, there don't seem to be many people who are willing to let strangers into the house and share their own food, at least neither of them have met.
There is a family with plenty of rice and noodles in the room. It's definitely enough to eat for a few days, and they're happy to share it. However, the male owner of the family looked at the knocker from the cat's eye, and just based on the appearance of the other party masked and holding a sword, he dispelled the idea of helping them.
The two came to the third floor and inevitably found the body of the little brother who was shot in the head. They endure their nausea and vow to fill their stomachs, still knocking on doors from door to door, and then they are constantly ignored.
The two of them also noticed the blood line on the ground, and also followed the line to the fifth floor, and found the door where the blood line disappeared.
The two of them before they saw the door. They all knocked on the door when they encountered it, but they didn't think they would be entertained in the murderer's room, and left without any reaction, continuing to climb the stairs.
On the seventh floor of the top floor lived Il's group, and they also ignored the knocker and the others. Bald Brown is also rare not to add to the mess, being handchained to the doorknob and quietly closing his eyes.
In this way, the hungry two could only turn back and think of other ways.
The two discussed. Don't venture outside to find food. One of them said that as long as they take care of their mouth and nose safely. It shouldn't be a big problem. When he said this, he walked all the way from the second floor, knocked on the door and climbed the stairs, his mouth and nose were blocked by masks and scarves, and his breathing was not smooth, and he had an ornamental sword peddled in the scenic spot in his hand, and he was out of breath.
Sub-health plagues almost all young people in China, and poverty and busyness make them have no time to care about their bodies, allowing them to become fat and weak. The two of them suddenly looked at each other and laughed after realizing that they were already out of breath just after they had only been on the fifth floor.
I even struggled to go upstairs. It takes a big and deep breath, and if you leave this building in this state, it is pure death.
After laughing, the two chose to continue to ask for help in the building, and knocked on the door from the seventh floor again, and the result was naturally the same as before. No one wants to give them something to eat.
They feel that their surplus is being depleted, and this act of climbing the stairs with a hungry stomach is simply suicidal, and it is simply a frequent switch on and off of the mobile phone when it is out of battery.
What should I do? Do I want to accept my fate? Do I choose to starve to death in the building?
They knocked desperately for the third time, from the second floor to the fifth floor, stopping in front of the bloodstained door. The first two times they passed through the door, they didn't plan to knock on the door, they didn't plan to have anything to do with the people inside.
At this time, the desperate and hungry two stared at the door and fell into deep thought.
Behind the door is a murderer, a wicked man, who has deprived others of their lives in this building. Now that I'm starving to death, I'm likely to get less and less food in the next few days, because the food is decreasing. If you want to stay alive and fill your stomach, in addition to betting on the rescue team that you don't know if it will come, all you can do is to get as much food as possible while you are still in the body!!
He is a good person, a law-abiding citizen, and has a sense of justice. Such a good self was about to starve to death, but the murderer was hiding behind the door. The two exchanged opinions for a while, believing that the person behind the door was the unstable dìng factor of the whole building. If there is anyone who needs to be starved to death, it must not be himself, but him!
With this concept in mind, the two knocked on the door.
The one behind the door is not a passive defensive character, as can be seen from the fact that he took the initiative to go out of the door yesterday to kill the little brother who made noise. He's not afraid of things, and he's not afraid to smash someone's head with a bat. He wants to live, and at the same time believes that the right to survive lies in the power of the person.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room, and he decided to kill the two guys who were wandering upstairs and downstairs in accordance with his previous course of action. The door opened, and the metal bat broke the tattered ornamental sword and the heads of the two men.
Even if two hungry and cowardly men have the heart to kill, they will never be the opponent of those who have experience in killing. The first thing they said when the door was opened was 'Hello sir, do you have any extra food?'. Plan to plan, they thought about snatching the food, but changed their attitude when the door opened.
This is the only person who is willing to take care of the two of them for a long time. They were a little touched by this. Forget the original intention of knocking on the door, the determination to make up your mind, and the identity of the murderer on the other side.
In this way, the two of them went hungry to see Hades, and the door of the murderer was closed again. Now that there were two more in front of his door, he felt that in this way, everyone would be afraid of him, and would not knock on his door again.
Hunger and fear. It's still spreading throughout the building. Just because two people died doesn't mean that no one else in the building is starving. There was a middle-aged uncle who weighed more than 100 kilograms and was also driven crazy by hunger.
The uncle ate the last food in the room as the two young men knocked on the door. It was morning, and it was already noon. He doesn't have dietary dependence, but he hasn't tried to skip meals three times a day.
With the example of two young men knocking on the door before, he decided to follow suit and try to go out and ask for help.
The uncle, who lived on the second floor, left the room without any protection and knocked on his door. The family he knocked on was a family that wanted to share food with two young men at this time.
It's noon. It's time for normal people to prepare lunch. The family of three is all in the family, with young parents and a five-year-old child. The rice, flour and eggs at his home were all replenished just two days ago, and although there was no vegetarian meat in the refrigerator, it was enough to rely on staple food to satisfy his hunger. In this case, no one is too distracted to be picky about the taste of food.
This time, the family still did not plan to open the door, and unlike the previous rejection of the two young men, the family knew the man who lived in the opposite door. This man is a bully, not a good person. There are often some friends who come to the house. However, there has been no friction between the two families, and it is a friendship that does not greet each other. That is, there is no friendship. The man in the house thought about it for a long time and decided to continue pretending not to be at home.
With their previous experience of indifference, the family no longer wanted to help others as they had before, let alone the neighbor they didn't like.
It's lunchtime, and my mom is making cakes, and she wants to make the staple as delicious as possible. Due to the fact that the doors and windows were sealed. Kitchen smoke and aromas wafted through the cracks in the door.
The middle-aged man outside the door stood in front of the door and pinched his waist, knocking on the door.
"I know you're at home, don't fill it with garlic for Lao Tzu, hurry up and open the door. ”
The middle-aged man felt insulted. Even if you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be a little bit better, right? There is also the smell of frying in hot oil, which is simply disrespectful to yourself.
Compared with the previous little brother, this middle-aged man's attitude is much more resolute. When the man heard the shouts outside, he was even more convinced that the person who came was not a good person, and he was determined not to open the door for him.
He believed that his door was strong enough to keep a qiē trouble out. As the head of the family, he only needs to take care of his wife and children and protect them, and there is no need to be responsible for outsiders, and he has no obligation to rescue a hooligan.
After a while, the middle-aged man began to make threats, saying some polite words such as 'don't open the door and kill your whole family'. Seeing that the other party didn't mean to open the door at all, the polite words escalated, from 'kill your whole family' to 'set fire to your house'.
The middle-aged man's voice is so loud that many people hear it. These intimidations that would normally be on the lips of thugs are infinitely magnified in today's situation, and in normal times, anyone can tell that this is just a threat. But now, with poisonous sand outside the windows and burning buildings and vehicles on the streets, the threat sounds less and less like a threat and more like a pre-crime notice.
"Kill and kill the whole family, don't burn this house......"
A nervous-sounding voice rang out from behind the middle-aged man, and just as he turned back, a metal bat stained with clotted blood smashed his head.
The head of the family witnessed the killing through the cat's eyes and screamed at the same time. The man with the metal bat ignored him and turned away, leaving only a corpse behind.
At this time, four people had died in the corridor, and four corpses were scattered on the second, third, and fifth floors.
In the vampire capital that has been attacked by poisonous sands, the ratio of ordinary humans to vampires is about 1 to 1, and humans may be slightly higher.
In such proportions, it is natural that there is such a vampire in the entire building where Il is located.
This vampire is not a freelance vampire, he is under the management of some third-generation vampire, and he is himself a fourth-generation vampire. It's just that when the poisonous sand was everywhere, he had already broken the shackles of blood because his life was threatened, and he became free.
As a vampire who had been controlled for a long time, he hadn't drunk blood in a long time. In order not to let the amount of food decrease too quickly. Almost all second-generation vampires limit their vampires to their subordinates, and a few have built blood-drinking buildings similar to blood banks before the Ancestors to treat their men.
As a poor vampire who hadn't been treated for a long time, he had been quietly subdued for a whole day, and in the middle of the second night when the poisonous sands were raging, he decided to find a family in the building to have a full meal.
This vampire lives on the ground floor. He knew full well that his floor was uninhabited, and that a vampire's hearing allowed him to hear the human breath through the door.
Coming to the second floor, he saw the body of a dead middle-aged man. He didn't feel disgusted at all when he saw this fat man covered in blood, but he just felt a pity, the good blood was now so thick that he couldn't swallow it.
He watched the middle-aged man facing the fallen door, and during the day he heard the screams of the man at the door, and now he put his ear to the door. He could hear the heartbeats of three people.
Luckily, maybe it's a family of three.
A family of three means that there are women and children in the room, and if you are lucky, you may even meet a little girl. Male vampires like the blood of young women, and female vampires like the blood of young men. This balance allows the vampire group not to be too picky, and for both men and women, as long as they are young, then the likelihood of being favored by vampires is the same, and it is not affected by gender.
Considered by the man to be an absolutely safe door. Destroyed by vampires at will. Vampires are powerful, but not strong enough to quietly tear down the security door. He made a lot of noise when he broke the door. Woke up all those who were asleep and forced themselves to sleep. The next thing he made was even more noisy, he hadn't sucked blood since he became a vampire, and he didn't know how to use his fangs, and he didn't know where to bite to make a big flow of blood.
In this way, the family became his test subject. The vampire was so sure that the building was full of ordinary humans except for himself, so he didn't pay attention to the noise and acted recklessly. If anyone wants to be nosy. It's just a matter of adding some food.
The vampire, who was not pure enough, first bit the father to death, and then the boy to death. Now he was lying on top of his mother, trying to bite out wounds on various parts of her body and suck the blood.
The vampire eats wastefully, and he believes there are many living humans in the entire building. It's enough to survive the poisonous sands for a long time.
Mom's cries once again alarmed the killer with a metal bat. He'd already killed four people, each time with ease, and at this point he believed that he was the strongest man in the building, and he felt that there was no doubt about it. His reason is very simple, because he has killed the most people, and in such an apocalyptic environment, the strongest one is naturally himself.
Now that his mother's cries were heard from the second floor to the fifth floor, the killer instinctively felt that someone else was carrying out the murderous feat that he had done alone. He didn't allow that to happen, he wanted to remain the strongest in the building. He firmly believes that only the strongest will not be killed, so he once again lifts the bat and once again decides to strike first.
When he found the opponent who was riding on the woman, the bat swung towards his head, and the vampire raised his hand slightly, grabbed the bat lightly, and then bent it hard. "Die, human!" the four generations of vampires stuck out their tongues and moved their bodies away from the already tattered woman,
The killer didn't panic, and the whole person pounced on the vampire and punched him in the face. The vampire grinned and grabbed the fist, ready to crush the fragile bone, only to be hit in the stomach by another punch from the killer before he could exert himself.
The vampire had just drunk too much blood, and his stomach was swollen, and the punch almost highlighted the delicious taste he had so hard to swallow. Fortunately, he closed the throat passage in time, so that blood did not spurt out of his mouth. However, his actions prevented him from attacking, and he was still in combat condition.
The killer picked up the metal bat that had been dropped on the ground, and tried to break the crooked bat like a vampire. So far, he still thinks that he is the strongest, and that the pale guy in front of him is not his opponent. Since he can bend the bat, the stronger version of himself will definitely be able to restore the bat.
He thought so, he did it, and he actually did it. His arms wrestled, the muscles and blood vessels in his arms bulged out to a state he had never seen before, and blood oozed from his temples due to excessive clenching of his teeth. It's a little tough, but he's really writhing the metal.
The vampire looked dumbfounded, and he repeatedly confirmed the identity of the person in front of him, confirming that he was indeed a human, without a doubt. But how can humans have such power?
As he watched in disbelief, the crooked bat slammed into his head. Vampires have stronger bodies than humans, and as long as their hearts and heads are not destroyed, they will not die immediately, and they can survive for a long time.
The vampire's neck was broken by a blow, and his head was much stronger than a human, but his neck and spine were not strong enough to withstand even a blow from a normal human. However, this killer who defeated the vampire does not seem to be ordinary. Maybe he's no longer human, but something else. (To be continued......)
