"I don't know if this thing can be eaten. Shan Dayu poked the cat meat and said.
"I'm not afraid to poison you. "No matter what you say, Wang Wang used to be Li Ting's pet, killing it is inhumane enough, you still want to eat, Li Ting scolded angrily in her heart, and she was not polite.
"Let's figure out how to get home. Gao Mi couldn't bear to say.
Everyone fell silent for a while, Li Ting saw that everyone didn't speak, so she had to say: "I've arrived home, I'm not going to go out on an adventure, if you decide to stay, wait for the government to rescue, I will take in a hundred." ”
Sun Bin and Tang Xinxiu's eyes lit up, and Tang Xinxiu couldn't wait to keep scanning a few men with his eyes, hoping that they were also willing to stay.
Seeing this, Gao Mi hurriedly said loudly: "That's not good, my parents are still waiting for me at home, if you don't leave, I'll go by myself." ”
Shan Dayu also said: "If Xinxiu sister and Sun Bin stay, I don't care, where Brother Pig goes." "Zhu Yong doesn't need to say it, he has always been resolute and has to go home. Tang Xinxiu couldn't do it, among these people, she was familiar with Zhu Yong and Shan Dayu, they wanted to leave, she naturally couldn't stay, and whispered: "Brother Zhu, since you are leaving, then I will follow you too." After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Yong wryly.
Sun Bin was the most assertive and said, "Then since this is the case, I will wait for your good news here at Li Ting." ”
The matter was settled, Li Ting used the meat and vegetables in the refrigerator to make a practice meal for the four of Shan Dayu, hoping that they would go home safely. Seeing off the four of them, Li Ting walked back to the bedroom, took the warm millet porridge, and fed it to Li's mother spoonful by spoonful.
Li's mother was not seriously injured this time, and she slowly woke up after the bleeding stopped, but her pale face had to be mended well, and the wound on her arm had to be stitched up in the hospital. Fortunately, she came back early this time, otherwise, I really don't care what would have been waiting for her when I got home.
Li's mother fell asleep, and Li Ting walked back to the living room from Xin, and when she went out, she saw Sun Bin holding a sharp knife, and she didn't know what to do in front of Wang Wang. He asked, "Sun Bin, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Sun Bin held a bloodstained knife in one hand and one of the cat's forearms in the other, walked to the sofa and said, "Look at the claws of this mutant beast." ”
Li Ting also sat on the sofa when she heard this, carefully examining the cat's front paws, and saw that the forearms, including the claws, had been stripped of their fur, and the green tendons on the white bones hung with flesh were fully displayed, and the tips of the claws were prominent, and they were three fingers long, like four semi-arc-shaped sharp knives, flashing with cold light.
"It's sharp. Li Ting wondered what Sun Bin was doing when he let him see this, could he still make it into a weapon.
Sun Bin lifted his glasses and said, "Yes, it's very sharp, if it hadn't been stuck in the door when we came, it wouldn't have been anyone's luck." Speaking of this, he picked up the cat's claw and continued: "I have just tried this cat's claw, even if it is an ordinary fruit knife, it is not as sharp as it, and it is connected to the bones of the cat's claw, let's use a hammer to smash it, at most it will leave a few shallow pits, maybe we can process it and make it into a dagger in the shape of two claws, which can be defended and fought against the enemy, what do you think?" ”
Li Ting was interested when she heard this, and said, "You can really make weapons? Don't you say it, fixing the cat tendons is really like that." As she spoke, she walked to the cat's carcass with great interest, and tore at the cat's tendons with the strength of her knife, trying to get a cat's paw down.
Sun Bin looked funny and said, "Leave this dirty work to me, you go and count the supplies, we have to save food and drink in a planned way." ”
In fact, there are no supplies to count, Li Ting lives in the school, rarely goes home, the rations at home are only prepared for Li's mother alone, and Shan Dayu and others are basically eaten up, and there are only a few eggs and condiments left in the refrigerator. There are still a lot of rice noodles, plus Sun Bin and himself, there must be a total of 20 catties of rice, less than 5 catties of white noodles, and more than a catty of millet brought by Aunt Zhu Yong's family has also been given to Li's mother to nourish her body, the tap water has already stopped, and there is less than half of the bottled water. Looking at the situation, the three of them saved some food, how could they support ten days and a half months.
Carrying food to the living room, Sun Bin had already shaved the flesh and blood of the forearms of the two cats, leaving only the meat tendons, and soaking them in the fish tank.
"That's all, it's the condiments and the oil. I look at how I can hold on for a while. Li Ting said.
"I'll use salt for a while, but now we are short of supplies, so we can only use salt as a treatment agent. Sun Bin said.
Li Ting walked to the window, looked at the outside world, and couldn't help but start worrying about Shan Dayu and them, and didn't know if they could go home, find their relatives, and get along with them for a day, but their feelings were already deep-rooted, and in the last days, they would definitely be able to become reliable teammates.
"Don't worry, if there's any danger, they'll come back on their own. Sun Bin said disappreciably.
"Brother Sun, when did you say the government will suppress the zombies, now that even cats can mutate, will the government's soldiers still come?" Li Ting couldn't help but express the worries in her heart.
"Will come. Sun Bin didn't know if he was answering Li Ting's question or asking himself.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and zombies have wandered downstairs from time to time. Li Ting's home is no longer as neat and clean as it was at the beginning, it is full of dust, dirty clothes are piled up everywhere, and the toilet still emits a foul smell, so the door of the bathroom can only be closed tightly. After a few days, half of the food is left, but the water has been cut off for two days, and if they don't go out to find water today, Li Ting, Sun Bin and others will die of thirst in the house.
In fact, during this period, Li Ting's house ran out of this building, and I thought it was similar to Li Ting and Sun Bin's situation. As a result, he was caught by the zombies who roamed around nowhere, the scene was tragic and abnormal, the screams and the chewing of the zombies were endless, and the picture of the intestines and flesh being ripped out of the body deeply shocked Li Ting's heart, and the result was that she wanted to vomit when she saw the red thing in the past two days, and the whole person lost a lot of weight. And the occasional gunshots in the distance became the only hope in the hearts of the three of them.
"This is not the way, I want to go out to find water," looking at her mother's increasingly thin face and chapped lips, Li Ting couldn't bear it anymore, and said to Sun Bin: "Are you going?"
Hey, Sun Bin sighed in his heart and said: "If you don't go, you die, and if you go out, you may live, do you think I can not go." ”
The two took the hammer, held the cat's claw knife at their waists, and walked into the bedroom. ”
"Mom, our water ran out two days ago, and we're going to find it. Li Ting didn't look at Li's mother either, Mu Na said with a cheek.
"Then I'll go with you. Li's mother got up immediately, but Li Ting objected very resolutely: "No, you just wait for us to come back at home." After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back, no matter how Li's mother called Li Ting's name in the back, Li Ting did not look back.
It's not that she doesn't want to turn back, it's not that she's not afraid, compared to the zombies rampant outside, if she was the only one, she would never want to go out and fight hard if she recognized being starved to death in the house. Just looking at her mother, who is nearly fifty years old, how can she bear it, her mother has worked hard to raise herself alone, how can she bear to let her mother starve to death at the head of the bed, if she does not stand up, can she expect others to do her filial piety for herself? She can't, so she can't turn back, because there is a mother behind her to wait.
The two walked out of the security door and walked slowly downstairs cautiously against their backs, the electricity was all off the day after the apocalypse, and even in the daytime, the stairs were still very dim.
The two of them went out of the building on guard, and observedly that there were no zombies left and right, so they chose the most remote road and walked outside, and the survivors upstairs found them, and watched them leave with sympathetic and sad eyes.
Li Ting's community was just built the year before last, there are basically no grain and oil stores, hotels and other businesses, the only small supermarket is built at the entrance of the community, is facing the main road with a lot of people, opposite is Yuanqing Park, and this small supermarket is the goal of Li Ting and Sun Bin. It's a pity that the building where Li Ting's family lives is basically in the innermost part of the community, and there are 11 buildings separated from the supermarket.
Li Ting and Sun Bin were extremely careful to hide themselves, they all knew that zombies rely on sight and hearing to find prey, as long as they hide themselves well and do not make any noise, it is not hopeless to reach the supermarket. As a result, they cautiously walked through the seven buildings, but they didn't find any trace of zombies, and the number of zombies that usually wandered around their downstairs was very inconsistent, so they didn't dare to be careless and continued to move forward slowly.
Just past the corner, Li Ting saw a group of more than 20 zombies in the parking lot not far away, all gathered outside a Mercedes-Benz sports car that crashed the front of the car, the constantly surging zombies flooded the Mercedes-Benz, and kept scratching the window glass with their claws, and from time to time there were women's sharp screams and men's shouts and scolding, attracting the attention of zombies.
Li Ting and Sun Bin hid in the corner, trying to hide their own existence.
Taking a deep breath, Li Ting lowered her voice and said, "Let's run over directly?" It's not that she doesn't want to save people, but she has to do what she can to save people, she and Sun Bin rushed up, it's not to save people, it's to send meat.
Sun Bin frowned, and couldn't think of any other way, so he could only say: "Take a branch to cover it." ”
Li Ting and Sun Bin quickly cleared out two big branches, Li Ting held the branches in her hand, she didn't dare to breathe, and tried to block her still fat and clumsy body, and ran quickly to the next unit building with her waist bent, her eyes had to keep an eye on the movement of the zombies, ready to escape at any time. At this time, she could only pray in her heart, the zombies could not see through their obvious disguises.
Fortunately, the zombies were attracted by the people in the car and did not watch the two big pieces of fat slip out behind them. Li Ting and the two slipped to the corner of the eighth building without danger. The two exhaled almost at the same time, they didn't expect to make a mental preparation for nine deaths and a lifetime, and it was almost completed so simply after coming out, it was really incredible, and they could only sigh that the Mercedes-Benz owner's life was not good, and he was lucky.
