Wang Lei closed his eyes, as if he couldn't feel the existence of the world. He had a dream in which he had endless delicacies

The feeling of burning in his abdomen made Wang Lei wake up.

I sat up with my stomach covered, half-squinting in a daze, a little unsure whether this was a dream or reality.

The intense hunger made the intestines twitch, and all the senses returned to the body, the stench of dead rats in the house, the dark and low sky outside the window, and the creaking sound of zombies of different shapes downstairs stepping on broken glass, which made people cold to the bone.

I picked up the half-pack of instant noodles left from the bedside desk, opened the bag and took a deep breath through my nose, the aroma of the food made the saliva secrete quickly, as if I couldn't even feel the smell in the air.

Crumple the instant noodles, put them in your mouth little by little, and taste them slowly with the tip of your tongue. Before I knew it, the last grain of noodles disappeared into my mouth, and I carefully tore open the instant noodle bag, licked every bit of broken noodles with my tongue, rinsed my mouth with mineral water, and swallowed it with the residue in my mouth.

Wang Lei drank the rest of the water and got out of bed, stood behind the window and watched the zombies on the street wander around unconsciously, thinking that the remaining food could last for a few days.

"Well, there's no police, there's no army. This world is completely chaotic. Wang Lei sighed and couldn't help but think of half a month ago

It was April 18, 2025, and Wang Lei couldn't forget this day anyway.

A beam of light from an unknown universe passed through the atmosphere, from the North Pole to the South Pole, "through" the entire earth. The sky became even more gray, with no day or night, no sun, moon and no stars.

Satellite pictures seen on the Internet show that the earth is like meatballs on the skewers, skewered by a "bamboo stick", as for the origin of the "bamboo stick", Wang Lei does not know. In less than 24 hours, the global network system was completely paralyzed, and the reconnaissance satellites of various countries did not know where they had gone

Despite the constant reassurance of the population, claiming that it was a "communication transmission" with extraterrestrial life, the catastrophe broke out.

On April 19, workers working in factories, passers-by on the streets, students at school, and families eating at home all changed without warning. The mutation came so suddenly that ordinary people were a little overwhelmed.

"Damn, is this the polar day phenomenon, it's been more than thirty hours, and it's not dark yet, so don't let people sleep well?" Wang Lei looked at the dim sky outside the window and couldn't help complaining.

He was used to sleeping at night, but although he was groggy today, he couldn't get any dark, which annoyed him.

In addition, there was an indescribable strange smell in the air, Wang Lei simply closed all the doors and windows, took a hot bath, took out a bottle of mosquito repellent toilet water, and sprayed it as an air cleaner.

Grab a bite to eat and turn on your computer to see if the network is back to normal. For Wang Lei, whose parents are dead and has no relatives, online life is everything to him. When he has enough supplies, he can even stay at home and pass the time online without stepping out of the house for a month. It is precisely because he is at home to an incredible degree that at the age of 27, he is still a single dog.

"Still no network, this still doesn't make people live?" Wang Lei said to himself.

Reluctantly turned off the computer, Wang Lei changed his clothes and prepared to go out to buy some daily necessities. There is still a lot of food left in the refrigerator, if it is not for the lack of Internet, staying at home is also idle, and he really doesn't want to go out.

Just as Wang Lei was about to change his shoes and go out, a sudden scream came from the side of the street, which scared him so much that he didn't even wear shoes, and stood barefoot by the window to look outside.

On the street facing the window, three or four people were squatting together, not knowing what they were doing. Wang Lei walked back to the computer desk, took his eyes and put them on, and looked at the people carefully, as if they were eating something.

The coldness of the soles of his feet reminded Wang Lei that he was still barefoot, put on slippers and found a rag, wiped the window that he was too lazy to take care of, and when he looked outside, he found that on the ground between several people, there were still two people who were twitching.

Immediately afterwards, one of the people with his back to Wang Lei sat on the ground, and this time he finally saw it clearly. In the middle of the crowd, a man was lying on his back on the ground, his head tilted to one side, his chest was opened, and two people squatting on the ground, fighting for the man's liver and lungs, stuffed into his mouth, and sat on the ground with his back to Wang Lei, holding a heart in both hands and chewing.

Wang Lei's legs were weak, and he knelt on the floor tiles, feeling nauseous and itching, so he quickly got up from the ground, rushed to the toilet and vomited. It wasn't until the corners of his mouth were bitter that he couldn't spit out anymore, and after a while, he stood up against the wall, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a glass of water from the water dispenser and rinsed his mouth, and sat on the ground, his mind full of scenes from horror movies he had seen before

After sitting for half an hour, I felt better, and then I went to the window and observed again. The cannibals changed from three to a group, and outside the dim streets, there were still figures slowly walking by. Everything was so weird, it made Wang Lei tremble, goosebumps rose, and his heart was hairy.

Suddenly remembering that it was difficult to find the police, Wang Lei hurriedly found his mobile phone to dial the number, and in a hurry, he didn't remember what the number of the police was, so he jumped to his feet in a hurry! Wang Lei took a long breath, silently calmed down, calmed down for a few seconds, and then dialed 110.

"What do you mean, there's no signal on your phone?" Can anyone tell me, what the hell is going on?" Wang Lei was so angry that he couldn't wait to throw his phone into the toilet.

The crowd outside the window has gathered into a pile, the dead man has turned into white bones scattered at the feet of the crowd, many people are lying on the ground licking the blood, and people are constantly knocked to the ground, and they get up and bite other people, until they are knocked over again, the screams in the distance, and the sporadic fires everywhere, make the dim sky look even more bleak and desolate.

"Could it be that the virus infection has turned these people into zombies? Could it have something to do with the pillar of light?" Looking at the picture of people eating people, as well as the alien pillar of light incident reported earlier, Wang Lei couldn't help but think.

He didn't know if he was already infected, he didn't know when he would mutate. But he was afraid of death, afraid of becoming a walking corpse, afraid of being eaten by those infected who turned into zombies, afraid that he would die without a whole body.

Thinking that his arms were torn off, his intestines were pulled out, and he was put into the zombie's mouth to chew, Wang Lei was terrified, and he walked back and forth in the room, fidgeting.

Light a cigarette to calm yourself down and think about your way out. Now you don't have to think about going out for help, the zombies downstairs are waiting for you to deliver to its mouth. Wang Lei sat on the chair and began to plan, the tap water is not drinkable, God knows if there are zombies, are soaking in the pool of the waterworks. Fortunately, Wang Lei is lazy at home, generally does not boil water, likes to call outside to send bottled water, there is still a bucket and a half at home, and there is no shortage of water at present, it depends on the food.

Thinking of food, Wang Lei hurriedly stood up, he would go out on the first day of every month to buy food for a month. Today is already the nineteenth, that is to say, there are only more than ten days of food left, and Wang Lei began to rummage around the house for food.

Wang Lei is very lazy, and he usually doesn't know how to pick it up, and the house is messy, and even he doesn't know what it is. After a busy day, I counted all the food and supplies. 20 bags of bagged instant noodles, about five catties of bacon, (bought in the supermarket during the Chinese New Year has been too lazy to do it until now) 21 eggs, one pound of noodles, about five pounds of rice, one and a half packs of salt, 1.5 barrels of bottled water, 12 packs of cigarettes, a carton of pure milk, touch the stomach, the province should be able to hold on for a month, waiting for the government's rescue, although even he himself does not believe that there is still government rescue.

When food is available, we should think about safety, Wang Lei's house is an old house in 99 years, which was rebuilt with the help of the government after the flood in 98. Although it is a detached two-story bungalow with a small courtyard, the roof is flat-roofed, and it is also connected to the roof of the neighbor's building.

When he was a child, his parents would lock Wang Lei at home and let him do his homework well, and he would always go to the next door through the roof of his house, and then sneak out from the next door to play.

If the zombies came in the same way, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, Wang Lei hurriedly ran to the top of the building, locked the door to the top, and brought tables and chairs to cover it. Then I went downstairs, looked at the big lock on the iron door, glued all the gaps in the doors and windows with adhesive tape, and pasted all the windows on the second floor with newspapers and closed the curtains, and then I was a little relieved.
