Chapter 3: Rats
……
Time actually flies quickly, the stars rotate in the sky, and the world exchange is endless.
In the past, the road was far away, and now the technology is developed, in the past, we did not pay attention to the sky, we were always busy with what we thought was very important.
But I missed many of the scenery in my life.
Not to mention in this apocalypse.
It was also very fast to night.
Zhou Huai lay on the roof of the building and looked at the stars in the sky, his mind was confused, and even with a little sadness.
It took him a long time to come to terms with what was happening.
None of this is really a dream.
In the time from the afternoon to the present, Zhou Huai has witnessed a lot of sadness, or human nature, big or small.
Fear has completely diffused, the world is full of devastation, even the school closest to Zhou Huai has become very terrifying at this time, there are stumps everywhere, and there are rickety people everywhere.
Zhou Huai is barely quite relaxed now, although there are zombies everywhere, but for now, the roof of this rooftop is still relatively safe, at least there is no fear of being bitten through the stomach by those zombies.
It's already past 10 p.m.
Zhou Huai's work and rest time is very regular, at this time before, it should be after washing, and he is ready to go to bed immediately.
Of course, he must not be able to sleep now.
Because of fear, because of this unprecedented space, because of this sense of hopelessness for the future.
People who are not deeply involved in it probably can't understand it, and this feeling is really too painful.
From time to time, Zhou Huai was in a daze, and from time to time he looked at the former 'classmates' who were swaying one after another below, and for no reason, he was inexplicably roaring.
Suddenly, Zhou Huai was in his cranky mind and remembered one.
Belief.
One is the same as 'live', almost, encouraging one's own beliefs.
"We live in the vast universe, floating cosmic dust and galaxy dust, and we are even smaller than these. You don't know when life suddenly changes direction and plunges into inky darkness. You are dragged into the abyss by disappointment, you are pulled closer to the grave by illness, you are trampled by frustration, you are ridiculed, ridiculed, hated, resented, and abandoned. But we always keep hope in our hearts, and we keep the heart that is unwilling to give up. We are still trying in small ways in great despair. This feeling of not wanting to give up, they become small stars of boundless darkness. We are all little stars. ”
"Yes, don't give up, even if it's a big despair now, you shouldn't just give up." Zhou Huai secretly cheered for himself.
In the final analysis, Zhou Huai is just a young man, and he hasn't even stepped out of society.
In fact.
Zhou Huai was even more afraid, afraid that he would be eaten by those zombies, he was afraid of pain.
Of course, in his opinion, the fear of pain is not in conflict with his firm will, Zhou Huai has always firmly believed in himself, even if he is desperate, he should believe in himself.
In this way, he thought about it for a long time.
This time it's no longer a cranky idea, but a careful plan for what to do in the future.
Because the world has changed.
If you want to live, you must work hard, and you can't slack off in the slightest.
In this way, Zhou Huai remembered his current situation.
Clothes, rushed from the classroom to the roof of this relatively safe building, has been torn to pieces by several zombies passing by, I have to say that the power of those zombies is really big, Zhou Huai used all his strength to barely break free, fortunately, it is summer, and the impact is not very big.
Weapons, Zhou Huai got up and looked around, there were some thicker wooden sticks, which should actually be some waste materials from some construction projects used in the beginning.
It is estimated that the school built this school building, and after it was completed, it was thrown here casually, and these things can barely be used as weapons.
And then there's the food.
This is also the point that makes Zhou Huai more desperate.
After all, no one brings a lot of snacks to class, let alone those usual foods, so the current food reserve is 0.
Water, also 0.
People, without eating, can only live for about 20 days at most.
Without water, even for about three days, the body will have a serious reaction and be life-threatening.
Zhou Huai lay on the roof of the building and touched his stomach.
It seems that when I think about it this way, I am indeed a little hungry, or rather, a little thirsty, Zhou Huai. I haven't drunk water for six or seven hours.
"It's really crying and funny to be hungry." Zhou Huai muttered to himself and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Fortunately, for the time being, there is still electricity in the school, but according to the normal routine, the electricity should not last long, and no one can say whether it will be a power outage in the next second.
As for the network.
It had been cut off two hours ago, and Zhou Huai had tried to send a message to the outside world, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response.
Phone.
The police call is no longer available, and even all the calls are always busy.
In other words, the connection with the outside world should have been severed.
Now you can only rely on yourself to survive.
When he was thinking like this, Zhou Huai slowly.
Fell asleep.
Zhou Huai, maybe he was too tired, so when he was thinking nonsense, his consciousness slowly sank.
I don't know if it's a change in the environment or a cause and effect caused by the real apocalypse, originally this summer night should be hot, but this night, it was surprisingly cool.
But maybe it was because Zhou Huai fell asleep, so he didn't notice it, not long after he fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was a sound of rustling, and after a while, a mouse crawled from an unknown place next to it.
The mouse was small, white, only 1/4 the size of an adult's palm, it moved very slowly, but it was unusually firm, the eyes of the little mouse were red, the hair on the whole body was very smooth, and in this thick dark night, those red eyes seemed to be shining.
It slowly approached Zhou Huai, because Zhou Huai's clothes were already tattered, and the short sleeves he also wore this summer, this little mouse actually slowly got into his sleeve.
After a while, he climbed to the position of Zhou Huai's heart.
In such a short period of time, the little mouse seemed to have exhausted all his strength, lying on Zhou Huai's heart, that is, the position of his heart, motionless.
It, as if to get the last shred of warmth.
Suddenly.
Zhou Huai was originally asleep, but now he should have dreamed of something not very good, so now he moved slightly at this time.
It seems that it is precisely because of this slight movement that this little mouse is stimulated.
The little mouse seems to be due to a stress response from the ego.
directly bit on Zhou Huai's skin, and a drop of blood oozed out.
Something.
With such a bite, it went in.
Because of this, the little mouse seems to have exhausted the last trace of strength in its life, it seems to have human consciousness, and it seems that it does not want to stay here anymore.
It slowly climbed down from Zhou Huai's body again, although the speed was very slow, but it was very firm, and it slowly climbed down from the roof.
It came to a burning fire.
His blood-red eyes reflected the burning of the flames at this moment, as if for eternity.
It slowly crawled towards the flames.
Finally, he remained motionless in the flames and turned into ashes.
It should be the first time that I felt the real warmth.
At the same time, Zhou Huai on the roof of the building underwent some kind of subtle change.
The first is the skin, in such a period of time, his skin actually turned a strange blue-gray, which looks like a combination of ulcers and wrinkles.
Zhou Huai opened his mouth slightly, and the blood continued to seep out from his throat, but because he was lying down, the blood kept accumulating in his mouth and did not flow out.
Zhou Huai suddenly opened his eyes again, but his pupils had completely dilated, and he didn't look like he had the slightest look, and he looked terrifying.
It was also accompanied by a slight twitch of his limbs, which after a while began to stiffen again, as if he tried to stand up, but he couldn't.
It's the same as those zombies.
The only difference was that the flesh and blood on his body did not appear to fester.
There's even more terrifying.
He still seemed to be in a sleeping environment, so he didn't know, let alone know, what was going on.
The zombies wandering downstairs at this time seemed to have suffered some kind of special stimulation, and generally began to roar, as if welcoming the arrival of a certain kind of new life.
This went on for most of the night, until the second half of the night......
……
On the morning of the second day, Zhou Huai woke up at the same time, probably because of the biological clock, he did not have any situation of lying in bed at all, not to mention the current environment, how could he lie in bed?
Looking around, he still looked devastation, Zhou Huai actually wanted to wake up and find that everything that had happened yesterday was a dream.
But the cruel truth told him that none of this was actually a dream.
Zhou Huai rubbed his neck, and he didn't know why he felt a little sore, and similarly, Zhou Huai didn't know how he fell asleep in this environment last night, but fortunately, there was no accident.
It's also a blessing in misfortune.
However, like normal people, it is still a little uncomfortable to face the current world, so Zhou Huai stood up here, looked into the distance, and was silent for a long time.
In this devastated world, there is fire everywhere, and even if you look at this very high angle, you can see traces of blood to a certain extent, and you can imagine how large the scope of blood is.
Just as he was thinking about it, his stomach screamed uncontrollably.
The hunger pang pulled Zhou Huai back from thinking at this moment, he also hadn't drunk water for a long time, as a standard college student, this common sense is still known, not drinking water for so long may lead to dehydration, and even cause a variety of complications.
When the time comes, it may be very difficult to survive.
So if you want to live, you have to set out to find food, even if it's just water.
Zhou Huai came to the opening on this floor, carefully lifted a wooden board he had placed here yesterday, and carefully observed the situation below.
Fortunately, the situation below is not bad, there are only two or three zombies, and there is a table directly below this opening, which is also Zhou Huai yesterday afternoon. It took all his best to move it from the side and put it here, and it was precisely because of this table that he was able to safely climb to the top floor.
Because the top floor is not a staircase like other floors, in fact, the top floor is just an opening in the end.
In other words, Zhou Huai, who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, is basically impossible to jump on this opening, so he can only use the table, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and moved quickly, so he successfully climbed up through this opening.
A second later may be eaten alive by those zombies.
Fortunately, those zombies don't use tools.
