Chapter 903: Winter
"Kim, Reagan......"
Yi Chen turned his head to look into the depths of the empty alleyway, and there was no one. Obviously, they were still together when they teleported between emergency tunnels before, but they disappeared after arriving in this world.
Even if Yi Chen spread his perception and connected to all the dead within a radius of one kilometer, he still couldn't catch the breath of any of his companions.
"Did some kind of interference forcibly separate us when we arrived in this world? Or for some other reason.
It doesn't matter, separate investigations can get more information in the early stage.
Reagan's brain should be able to easily connect the global information network, and when the time comes, Reagan should be able to get noticed by just using a random Internet tool. ”
Yi Chen immediately noticed something strange again, and he suddenly touched his body.
The original yellow leather clothes that were extremely close to the body and could adapt to the environment were gone, and even the small grapes in the body and the parasitic Nash in the brain were gone.
He was standing naked in the alleyway.
The companions all disappeared, but Yi Chen's thoughts suddenly changed direction, and he suspected that this 'interference' might not be caused by the current phenomenon of the world, but something else, another phenomenon.
"Is William making trouble in the shadows? That guy is definitely not honest, and the so-called only with a player can appear, which is nothing more than a statement.
He is just hiding through the videotape, and the deity should be able to appear in the outside world at any time, and he can also affect everything around him at any time, after all, he is also a phenomenal existence and a mad epidemic master. ”
As soon as he thought of this, Yi Chen's anger was also on the top, and he even imagined the scene of beheading William.
But with the sound of waves crashing over, a warm palm was gently placed on his shoulder, and Yi Chen quickly became calm again, no longer jealous and hateful.
Perceiving the nearest deceased around him, Yi Chen prepared to use one of them as a carrier to observe the current world and probe for initial information.
"Birth from Death"
A beggar who used cardboard as a bedding and froze to death in the bitter cold winter suddenly opened his eyes and got up, the contours of his face remained unchanged, but the inner essence became Yi Chen.
There are actually a lot of deceased people to choose from in the surrounding area,
For example, the ghost fire boy who didn't wear a helmet at the previous intersection hit the road post and stopped moving instantly.
For example, a young man in his twenties who works in a company not far away has just died suddenly.
For example, in the river under the bridge, there is a dead body drowning in stones,
However, these are not too good choices, Yi Chen chose the homeless man because he is inconspicuous, at the bottom, the least easy to detect, and suitable for the initial investigation.
There is another reason, there is a robbery incident in the alley where the homeless man is located, and Yi Chen can take this opportunity to get a sum of money and ask these people about the surrounding situation by the way.
Deep in the roadway,
Three muscular men are surrounding a single woman who has just returned from the market with vegetables and pork in her hands, and the latter is so frightened that her glasses are crooked.
The world is still using old-fashioned mobile phones, and there is no smart payment function. Even though the woman handed over all his purse, the other party still had no intention of leaving.
Just as one of them reached for the woman's collar,
Bang!
The beer bottle suddenly shattered to the side, and the glass shards just stuck into his cheek, blood flowing, and he covered his face and screamed.
Moreover, one of his partners had already fainted on the spot because he was hit in the head by a beer bottle.
The remaining two gangsters, both with varying degrees of cuts, covered their faces and looked in the direction where the beer bottles were thrown.
I saw that the homeless man who had kicked a few times and didn't move actually stood there, staring at them with fierce eyes.
The gangsters led by the gang were angry because of their injuries, and ran to the homeless man with the switchblade in his hand, and shouted loudly: "You dare to hit us with a bottle of garbage." ”
Who knows, a wine bottle was thrown again and smashed firmly on the man's head.
Syllable! Directly fell to the ground, unable to move.
The last gangster immediately sobered up, saw that something was wrong, and pulled his legs away.
Only the robbed woman was left, trembling with both hands tugging at the coat that had been pulled open...... After half a meal, he came back to his senses and focused his pupils.
Although she was scared and nervous, she bent down to pick up the meat and vegetables scattered all over the floor, retrieved her purse from the gangster's hands, and then caught up with the homeless man who saved her life as fast as she could.
"Thank you for saving me! If you don't mind, you can come and sit at my house. Can I make something for you...... You look like you haven't eaten in a long time.
In addition, my husband is about the same size as you, so he should be able to find you a set of cotton clothes that fit, and it is too cold for you to wear so little. ”
"I smell dirty."
"It's okay, it's really okay, if it's not you...... I may have ...... Please accept my kindness! ”
Yi Chen wanted to refuse, but considering that he could take the opportunity to ask for some information about the current world, he nodded and agreed. But he still deliberately distanced himself from the woman, so as not to smoke the other party.
"Don't you need to call the police?"
The woman shook her head, "It's hard to get through to the police, and even if they do, they won't deal with such a trivial matter, so let's leave before they wake up." ”
In winter, the streets are sparsely populated, telephone poles are plastered with missing person notices, and more than half of the shops are closed.
Follow the woman into a seven-story building, which is also plastered with all kinds of missing person notices, even more than small pieces of paper for unlocking and repairing.
All the way to the top floor,
The woman still hadn't recovered from the robbery just now, and her hand holding the key was still shaking, so she finally inserted the key in.
"Come in~ Although it's not much warm in the house, it's at least much better than outside...... It's been a cold winter. ”
Yi Chen slowly followed, but he was stunned as soon as he entered the house.
Directly opposite was a spiritual seat, on which a frame hung by a man with glasses, staring right at the door.
Although Yi Chen was the agent of the Grim Reaper, it was really uncomfortable to be watched like this.
The hostess also noticed this and quickly explained: "My husband has been missing for a week and will not come back." ”
Yi Chen was a little puzzled, if he was only missing for a week, there was no need to put it like this, right? But he didn't ask, and walked into the bathroom alone.
It seems that the body is washed with hot water, but in fact, it is used to salvage the "flesh" in the Dead Sea again, covering the flesh of the homeless man, anyway, he was wrapped in dirty clothes before, and his hair was messy and he couldn't see what the flesh looked like, and the hostess would not suspect it.
The other party's voice also came from outside the bathroom, "I threw away the dirty clothes for you, my husband still has several sets of unworn winter clothes, put one for you outside."
I'll cook first, and you'll treat this place as your home, and you'll be fine as long as you want...... It's already like this out there anyway. ”
Yi Chen quickly changed into clothes, and when he walked out of the bathroom,
The hostess who was cutting the meat turned her head and was directly stunned, she couldn't imagine that a homeless man who had just been unkempt was such a handsome young man, even a beard that had not been taken care of for a long time could not cover that handsome face.
"You...... What is your name? ”
"Easy."
"Mr. Yi, it doesn't seem to be over thirty yet, right...... But now it's no wonder you're wandering outside, men are so unsafe.
My name is Liu Xinzhi, you can call me whatever you want. You can go outside and watch TV, but I don't think there are many TV stations showing shows anymore. ”
Out of curiosity, Yi Chen still asked the question first, "Miss Liu, if your husband is just missing, is it possible for him to come back suddenly?" ”
As soon as this problem came out, the woman's force to swing the knife and cut the flesh instantly increased, and her expression became gloomy.
"Mr. Yi doesn't have to worry about this, he definitely won't come back...... After all, he had followed the woman, and I had treated him as dead from the time he left.
However, I don't blame him, after all, that woman is really beautiful. ”
