Chapter 12 Inconsistencies
From the moment people are born, they are destined to have all kinds of troubles. Some people think of a short life as a journey of suffering; Some people accumulate virtue and do good deeds, just to cultivate an illusory afterlife; Some people are reckless and willful, but they want to live happily.
But there is absolutely no one like Yang Xiaohai who has become an "infected" but can still retain consciousness.
At this moment, Yang Xiaohai is scratching his head in front of the mirror, constantly changing his posture, as charming and enchanting as a model. But the images in the mirror are very terrifying: sometimes plucking a few short hairs with scalps, sometimes scolding cheeks that are almost leaking, and sometimes showing off pale arms.
Don't think that Yang Xiaohai is mentally confused by the harsh reality, people are really good! After a series of psychological activities such as shock, curiosity, confusion, helplessness, etc., Yang Xiaohai calmly accepted his new identity.
If you don't accept it, you can't do it, he wants to ask the doctor, he still wants to find the black clothes, he wants to sum it up with others, but these can only be just thoughts.
A burst of intense thirst interrupted Yang Xiaohai's self-absorption. He felt hot and dry, and his thirst for water was almost unquenchable. He wondered, didn't the expert say that the "infected" were addicted to eating raw human flesh, why did he always want to drink greasy water?
Rice and white flour still have a strong attraction to him. Why is his recipe as greasy as it was before he didn't change this ghost?
Compared with the wandering army downstairs, which hardly eats, drinks or sleeps, Yang Xiaohai is also too much of a loss. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and Yang Xiaohai angrily pulled off a few bloody hairs.
His body was rapidly decaying, but he didn't feel numb, itchy or painful, and he didn't feel any discomfort! That's, isn't it? Why? If you can't figure it out, you don't want to. Let's just do something with this dignity! As the saying goes, "Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking"!
Perhaps this honor can penetrate into the enemy's interior? If it works, is it still a matter of constantly torturing one's thirst?
Looking in the mirror repeatedly, he made sure that he was as ugly as the "infected" he had seen. I searched for it at home and changed it from the inside out. But it seems to have been in vain. The skin was so badly ulcerated and damaged that it immediately stuck together when it came into contact with the fabric.
Yang Xiaohai, who didn't notice anything, only to find out that he was uglier than before he changed his clothes. Especially with a strong smell of corpses all over his body, he really doesn't want to get close to the living.
Yang Xiaohai laughed at himself: "Although he is not a handsome guy, he is not ugly and a ghost, right?" "It's just a complaint. But a dull roar was heard in his ears, and the bridge of his nose swayed, and he almost fell off.
opened the door of the house again, stood outside the staircase door, and looked at the remains lying on the ground, Yang Xiaohai sighed. How did he become their companion? Stepping over the place where the two mosquitoes did not bite, Yang Xiaohai walked downstairs with a familiar car.
Going down to the 4th floor, he hesitated and retracted his feet: "That, I know you can hear it!" Now this ghost, I don't believe it if I haven't been infected! I don't know if there are any living people in our community, but please hold on. I'll go down and find a way to survive first. If there is to be rescue, I will definitely try to inform you! ”
wasting a little precious saliva, Yang Xiaohai made a simple explanation. After all, they are neighbors in the same unit, so they will be more or less informed. There was silence all around, but there was still no response. Yang Xiaohai waited for a while, and then strode downstairs. Ignore the immovable door.
Go down to the first floor in one breath and go straight to the front of the unit door before stopping. It's changed, and it seems that he's much bolder. Not far from the door of the unit, there are exactly two "infected" wandering back and forth. Either Yang Xiaohai's movements were very light, or he met the "same kind", neither of them glanced at the unit door.
Yang Xiaohai pressed his hand on the unit door lock, took a deep breath, and pulled the bolt. With long nails, the black fingers gradually strengthened, and the spring "creaked". In the sound of "popping", the unit door suddenly lost its restraints. Yang Xiaohai no longer hesitated, looked at the two monsters, and pushed the door open.
With a "bang", the wandering "infected" turned their heads in the end. They turned around stiffly and slowly, and raised their almost rotten noses. Yang Xiaohai stood in front of the open unit door, his fists clenched nervously. He suddenly regretted a little, why didn't he even take a weapon?
But when I thought about it, I was quickly relieved. Downstairs is no better than inside the building, once a conflict breaks out, the endless "infected" are not something that homemade "spears" and "shields" can resist.
The reason why I dare to go downstairs and open the door is not because I have become a "ghost"? If he is not recognized by the "infected", then he will not be able to move an inch. Yang Xiaohai can't remember the last time he drank water. I only know how to risk my life to fight, but in exchange for a painful experience. Looks like he's been thirsty for a long time before drinking dirty water?
I thought about it for a while, and it seemed that a long time had passed, but in fact it was just some kind of person pushing open a door, and that's it. The two "infected" were alarmed by the sound, "swept" Yang Xiaohai, and then quietly twisted their heads to the side again.
Seeing such a reaction, Yang Xiaohai was relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief. After the nervousness, a wave of ecstasy immediately came over me. He secretly proudly said: "If a person is ugliest, he is invincible!" I, Yang Xiaohai, finally went deep behind enemy lines, hahahaha......"
With the vaguely obtained attribute of "ignoring the dog", Yang Xiaohai can be unimpeded and the world is free to swim! Thinking about this, how can you not make him smile? How can you not make a senior otaku hide his face and cry? Not only that, but he intends to do so. blinked hard, and Quan cried with joy.
If ugliness and a high degree of corruption are the most intuitive characteristics of the "infected", then the fragility of the body's tissues is the second characteristic. No wonder Li Juemin can be dealt with with a single window frame, no wonder "Lao Wang" and the little girl are so vulnerable.
Deadly infections and strange powers aside, the "infected" don't seem to be so scary! Yang Xiaohai summed up his experience in hindsight. However, the most important factor is overlooked – quantity! One or two "infected" are not terrible, and with careful precautions, they can be easily solved. And then hundreds, if not thousands? What about thousands? The famous "piranha", isn't it also fed? But in a different scenario, it would be a tragedy to encounter a group of them in the middle of the river.
When the two "infected" staggered away, Yang Xiaohai just wanted to get out of the unit door, and a short "infected" appeared out of nowhere and hit him straight up. Look at that meaning, it's trying to sneak into the unit door. The short "infected" is dressed as a cowboy, and it seems that he should have been a young man when he was alive.
"Master, I finally got an identity, how can I let you copy the back road?" Yang Xiaohai raised a nail at the short man, and immediately shook it from side to side: "Small, you can't do it......" After that, he stretched out his arm that had lost his skin and flesh and pressed it the short man's shoulder. With a strange roar of "whoosh", the cowboy man knelt without saying a word. In this scene, Yang Xiaohai couldn't help but look up to the sky and roared: "Hello, ......"
He didn't scream twice and then covered his mouth. What's going on? It's like a second ha who hasn't drunk water for a long time......
"Whew......" No matter what Yang Xiaohai thinks, after all, he made a sound. The "infected" who had just gotten up screamed almost reflexively. After a while, the whole community resounded with strange cries of "whoa" and "whoa". Yang Xiaohai was angry, and he just "snapped" at the short man.
The man in the denim suit turned his head away nonchalantly. There was black mucus in his mouth, but he didn't pay attention to it. "Who do you look down on?" Yang Xiaohai was even angrier. He opened his bow left and right, and slapped it at the short man. He was still muttering meaninglessly: "What are you calling? What are you shouting about? Don't know what others are going to sleep with? What I heard in my ears was still the strange movement of "ha".
Xu is Yang Xiaohai's strength is too great, maybe it was a sudden transformation, he was slapped a few times, the short man turned 360 degrees, and quickly fell to the ground. Caught off guard, Yang Xiaohai stopped his hand and muttered: "It's too weak, I really can't help fighting!" ”
rubbing his hands against the short man, but his paws were even dirtier. Casually closing the unit door, Yang Xiaohai walked around the community with his hands behind his back and sharp nails. When he was trapped at home, he made several plans in order to get to the supermarket smoothly. However, the situation is changeable, and none of the brain-racking plans are useless.
Yang Xiaohai walked very slowly. When encountering other "infected", he will stop and bend down to take a closer look. As before, none of the highly rotten "infected" were willing to deal with him.
As previously described, the supermarket is located downstairs from the house, but the entrance and the unit door are in opposite directions. The reason why Yang Xiaohai moved slowly was because he hoped to find other surviving neighbors. However, until I walked around the corner of the building, I still didn't find anything.
In desperation, Yang Xiaohai could only sigh faintly. Since the neighbors hid it well, he also discerned that he was bent on disturbing the purity of other people's homes. The idea is certain, don't hesitate at the moment, and go straight to the supermarket.
Shortly after I got out of the corner, I saw a supermarket on the other side of the building. As expected, the roller shutter used to prevent theft was not put down. Only half of the two heavy, sturdy glass doors remain.
The metal frame had long since fallen apart, and it was hanging from the door frame and swaying slightly. Several "infected people" lingered and refused to go far and seemed to be interested in the supermarket.
Yang Xiaohai walked to the door and looked in the afterglow of the sunset. As far as the eye can see, there is a mess: two rows of shelves have long since collapsed, and various items are scattered everywhere. Yang Xiaohai first drove away a few infected people who were wandering at the door, and then went into the supermarket without delay.
