Chapter 32: The Farmer and the Snake

"But it's normal to dream about people I've seen, just like when I was in a coma, I dreamed of my parents." Xiao Ran wasn't so surprised, and his face looked like a matter of course.

"But what I dreamed of seemed to be someone I've never seen before......" Xu Xiaoxiao raised his head thoughtfully, with a few noodles hanging from the corners of his mouth that he hadn't had time to eat.

"That's interesting, it turns out that we're all dreaming......" Lu Yu seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and asked Xiao Ran.

"What was the last scene in your dream before you woke up?"

"My parents turned into zombies in front of me and lunged at me." Xiao Ran was silent for a while and took the lead in speaking.

"My dream is that I was swapped by monsters, and then I woke up, I already told Xiao Ran just now." Xu Xiaoxiao bit his chopsticks and also expressed his dream.

"It's weird, I dreamed that my head was bitten off by an unknown creature, and in the dream, Zhang Heng also shouted at me not to kill myself, but I burped in the next second......" Lu Yu picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth, but he was burned and stuck out his tongue.

"So in the dreams of the three of us, we all died." Xiao Ran inserted the chopsticks into his noodles and frowned and thought about it.

"It's not normal, the way to wake up from a dream is nothing more than that, weightlessness, fright, and death." Xu Xiaoxiao fished in the pot for a while, and when he saw that there was no longer a large piece of beef, he simply picked up the pot and poured soup into his bowl.

"You said that in your dream, Zhang Heng asked you not to kill yourself, but you died in the next second?" Xiao Ran looked thoughtful and asked Lu Yudao.

"That's right, as soon as he finished speaking, my head was bitten off." Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders and reaffirmed this detail.

Xiao Ran lowered her head again and pondered, she had a vague judgment in her mind, but she just couldn't grasp it.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Xiao Ran sighed slightly and continued to eat noodles.

For a moment, the three of them remained silent, only the sound of sucking and eating noodles echoed in the living room.

"Knock knock", just as the three of them were concentrating on eating the noodles, a rhythmic knock sounded outside the door.

"Is the owner of 2901 here?"

Lu Yu and Xiao Ran stopped eating noodles for the first time, glanced at each other, and walked towards the door silently, while Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned, stopped the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the two of them suspiciously.

As if he had a premonition that Xu Xiaoxiao would have doubts, Xiao Ran turned around and made a silent gesture to the confused girl, signaling her not to speak.

"I have no ill intentions, please open the door if there is someone inside."

The voice outside the door continued, in a very sincere tone.

Lu Yu skillfully opened the monitoring screen next to the door, and a middle-aged man wearing a black T-shirt appeared on the screen, smiling flatteringly at the display, obviously knowing that the owner inside was watching him through the surveillance.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Yu didn't open the door, but shouted directly at the door, his voice was neither light nor heavy, just enough for the middle-aged man in black outside the door to hear.

"Well, as you know, the communication network has been cut off for a long time, and the national emergency broadcast has been on TV on a loop, saying that don't go out, stay at home......"

The man in black outside the door hesitated, and seeing that Lu Yu had no intention of opening the door, he had no choice but to say to the door.

"I am a resident of Building 15 1304, that is, the opposite building of yours, I saw you and a little girl that day, pushing three carts into this building, there are so many crazy people outside, they will gnaw when they see people, I am really hungry, okay, can you give me something to eat."

When the man mentioned the zombies on the street, his emotions seemed to fluctuate violently, and his words became incoherent, but fortunately, he still said what he wanted to express.

Lu Yu was silent for a while, and did not agree to the man's request outside the door, but continued to ask, "How do you know that we live on the 29th floor?" ”

The man outside the door was stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Yu to ask so carefully, and hurriedly answered.

"I didn't know you lived on the 29th floor, but I saw you going up from the east elevator, so I thought you should be a resident of the east side, and after going downstairs, I looked at the floor display on the elevator, and it showed the 29th floor, so I came up and tried my luck......"

"Rely on ......" Lu Yu cursed in his heart, and glanced back at Xu Xiaoxiao, who looked innocent.

Lu Yu did use the elevator to transport the trolley when he went upstairs before, but after using it, he pressed the elevator back to the first floor, so as to prevent people with intentions from finding his residence directly.

But Xu Xiaoxiao's intrusion was indeed directly taken by the elevator, and naturally it was impossible to press the elevator back to the first floor as carefully as Lu Yu to cover his whereabouts.

"We don't have enough food to eat, and we have a lot of mouths at home!" Lu Yu responded coldly, without a trace of emotion in his tone.

He said this, firstly, because he wanted to show his attitude, and he did not want to be a good person who was willing to give; Second, it is a bit of a bluff, he and Xiao Ran have been noticed by this man when they go out to collect supplies and return, so it is very likely that they will judge that there are only him and a little girl in their family, and they will come to the door to ask for food, if the middle-aged man saw three muscular men at that time, Lu Yu expected that he would not dare to come to the door to ask for it.

Sure enough, after listening to Lu Yu's words, the middle-aged man outside the door began to panic, and his body slowly retreated, as if he had the urge to leave, but he hesitated in place for a long time, and finally knocked on the door of Lu Yu's house again and shouted.

"Please, I have a 5-year-old child at home, it doesn't matter if my wife and I don't have anything to eat, can you please give my child a little food, just a little, the child doesn't eat much......"

The man begged as if he had left the last bit of dignity behind. Lu Yu even saw a little crystal tear from the corner of his eye.

Xiao Ran glanced at Lu Yu expressionlessly, as if he wanted to see Lu Yu's attitude, but Lu Yu still stared at the screen coldly, without saying a word.

"I said it! We don't have enough food, so let's go. After about 30 seconds, Lu Yu said these cold words.

Xiao Ran heard Lu Yu's cold words, and there was still no expression on his delicate little face, but he nodded silently, indicating his attitude.

"I said you two are too cold-blooded! People just want a little bit of food for their children! ”

At this time, Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been quiet behind the two, could no longer sit still. The middle-aged man spoke loudly at the door, so even Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting at the dining table, could listen to it, and heard that there was a 5-year-old child in the man's house who was starving, and the kind-hearted Xu Xiaoxiao finally stood up.

Grabbing a few packs of compressed biscuits in the box, Xu Xiaoxiao strode to the door, ignoring the surprised eyes of Lu Yu and Xiao Ran, and opened the door straight.

"These, here you go!" Xu Xiaoxiao called out the middle-aged man who was about to leave, stuffed the biscuits in his hand into his hands, ran back to the house again, and took a few more bags of chocolates and handed them to the man.

Finally, Xu Xiaoxiao triumphantly closed the door of the room in the man's thousand thanks, returned to the chair, and continued to eat the instant noodles in the bowl.

Lu Yu and Xiao Ran glanced at each other, no one spoke, and they all returned to their seats in silence, as if what had happened just now, and continued to eat noodles.

Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sucking noodles, seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and deliberately broke the silence.

"People are also for children, we have so much food, what's wrong with giving others a little." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Lu Yu and Xiao Ran intentionally or unintentionally.

And Lu Yu and Xiao Ran were still silent, not paying any attention to Xu Xiaoxiao.

On the other side, the middle-aged man took the elevator downstairs after getting the food, but he did not walk towards Building 15 opposite Lu Yu's house, but walked crookedly towards Building 7 on the side of the street.

"When you're at home, can you see what's going on in the streets?" Lu Yu finished eating the last noodle in the bowl and suddenly asked.

"I, me? Of course, you can't see it, although our building No. 15 is opposite your house and closer to the street, there is also a building No. 7 on the street that blocks the view, so you can't see the street at all. Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said as a matter of course.

"Then did you listen to the man just now, where does he live?" Lu Yu continued to ask, his eyes staring at the girl in front of him, and his expression gradually turned cold.

"I heard it, Room 1304 of Building 15 is my downstairs neighbor......" Xu Xiaoxiao saw Lu Yu's eyes slowly getting colder, and he was apprehensive, but he still pretended to be calm and said.

"You live on the 26th floor, and you can't see the scene on the street because you are blocked by Building 7, and the man lives on the 13th floor, so much lower than you, why does he know that the street outside is full of crazy people who gnaw at sight?" After Lu Yu said this softly, he closed his mouth again, and even took his eyes off Xu Xiaoxiao's face and looked at Xiao Ran beside him.

"What do you do?"

"The number of the other party is not clear, and I can't think of a good way..."Xiao Ran sighed and replied quickly.

And Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting opposite the two, was completely confused at this time, why she could understand every word of Lu Yu and Xiao Ran's words, but after connecting them into words, she couldn't understand them at all.

"Wait, why discuss countermeasures? What is the other side too many people? Is there anything wrong with that family living on the 13th floor? Xu Xiaoxiao is not a person who is good at hiding words in his heart, and throws out his own questions like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"Alas, Sister Xiao Xiao, you are too impulsive, this time you can cause a big disaster." Xiao Ran looked old-fashioned and said to Xu Xiaoxiao.

Listening to Xiao Ran's words, Xu Xiaoxiao was even more confused, didn't he help a poor middle-aged man? Why is it a catastrophe now?

Seeing that Xu Xiaoxiao still looked unclear, Xiao Ran patiently explained.

"That man said earlier that he lived in Building 15, but he said that he could see crazy people on the street who gnawed on everyone, so you couldn't hear such an obvious inconsistency?"

"Well, maybe he went to Building 7 to see it, but that doesn't mean anything." Xu Xiaoxiao's face turned red and hurriedly argued.

"Another point is that if this man really has a child, then he will inevitably mention his child at the beginning, instead of saying that he has a child after Lu Yu refuses." Xiao Ran paused, his expression a little gloomy. "After all, as a parent, the first thing that comes to mind must be their own children."

"Then this man's ......" Xu Xiaoxiao, even if he was slow to react, he noticed that something seemed wrong with this middle-aged man.

"I'm here to step on it......" Lu Yu picked up the conversation and said lightly.
