A bright moon hung in the night sky, and the cold white moonlight sprinkled on the bricks, like a layer of frost.

Kyungwon walked along the stonestone path under the moonlight without temperature, came to the dry artificial lake, and walked around.

He stepped on the cracked clay slab, which, combined with his weight, squeezed the soft, moist dirt below, squeezing the air out of it with the sound of bubbles popping.

From time to time, there was a low, dry "click", dead branches and leaves, and the silence and dry surface of the river were suffocating, as if to drown him in the mud.

He walked through this deserted viewing area, and before he knew it, he went back to the door, pushed the door open, and entered the courtyard.

Almost all the windows are sealed with iron plates, except for a few small ventilation windows, which are movable windows.

The windows were open, and tiny beams of light shone through them.

This two-storey detached villa with terrace and yard is actually not very big, it is very easy to find his bedroom, just find the terrace, from where you look at the room directly opposite, which is the bedroom.

He stared at the solar panels on the side of the terrace, the crystalline silicon cells, forming a regular grid of small squares, which reflected the moonlight slightly, like small mirrors.

Beneath the terrace is the vegetable garden, with hoes, shovels, pitchforks and watering cans resting on the walls, and green vegetable leaves growing in the dirt.

A few steps further into the vegetable garden is the garage, two side by side, one with firewood and the other with agricultural tricycles, and the off-road vehicle, which has been repaired with great effort, is parked by the gate and covered with a tarpaulin.

After seeing these familiar things, it was as if a basin of ice water was poured on his head, extinguishing the fire on him.

With his back against the wall, he sat by the vegetable garden, and the sound of Tang Xue playing the piano came from inside the wall.

He took out the key, unscrewed the lock, and entered the room, Tang Xue glanced at him, did not speak, but continued to play the piano.

At the end of the song, Tang Xue asked, "Are you better?" ”

"Much better." Kyungwon replied.

"Hmm." Tang Xue nodded and played another piece of music with a soothing tune.

Jing Yuan's state of mind was also soothed like music, and when he looked at his watch, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.

"You go upstairs to rest, from today onwards, we won't sleep in the same room, I'll go downstairs and make a separate bed later."

"I'm here to help, too." Tang Xue did not make any other comments.

"Okay." Kyungwon agreed.

They found a new set of bedding, put a quilt in the cover, laid out the mattress and sheets, put on the pillowcase, and took a lamp and placed it on the bedside table.

Jing Yuan sent Tang Xue upstairs and stood at the door of the bedroom, and the two said good night to each other.

Tang Xue didn't ask Jing Yuan why he wanted to make another bed, and Jing Yuan didn't explain.

Late at night, Kyungwon lay in his new bedroom and couldn't sleep repeatedly.

He didn't force himself to sleep, put on his clothes and shoes, and planned to go outside to relax.

He went to the utility room and found a roll of tobacco and a dry tobacco stick, then went to the yard, lit the tobacco with a lighter, and tried to take a few puffs.

He had never smoked in the past, he didn't smoke or drink, and he didn't smoke because when he was a child, an adult in the village tricked him into smoking once and choked him, and he has been in the shadow of cigarettes ever since.

As for the wine, he simply thought it was not good, the liquor was spicy, the beer was brewed, and it was really not interesting to drink.

This body is not choked by the smell of tobacco, but it is very refreshing, but he still can't appreciate the addictive feeling of smokers.

He was strolling along the road with a dry tobacco stick, when he suddenly looked up and saw a shadow.

The shadow stood at the head of the wall of the neighborhood, and the moonlight shone on the outline of its small animal, with limbs and tails, stepping on the wall tiles, staring coldly at Kyungwon with his eyes.

It was a zombie cat, its fur was almost completely detached, its bare skin was very ugly, and half of its body was clinging to mold.

Those eyes were like human eyes, as if they were observing and scrutinizing.

When Jing Yuan saw the head of this zombie cat, he was stunned for a moment, there was a bullet hole on the right side of this guy's cat's ear.

Kyungwon's eyes widened, it was the zombie cat he met in the city center! That's it!

He vividly remembered that when he met it, it was still winter, a month ago.

He shot it once, and when he heard the sound of it falling, he hurried out of the city center.

At that time, the cat still had hair on its body, but why did it appear here?

Why did this weird cat appear on the fence of the community and look at him with such cold eyes?

He didn't even notice the cat's arrival, he thought it was dead, because he glanced at the map after fleeing the city center, and didn't notice the monster icon at the location where he shot the cat.

He felt a chill on his back, and his hairs stood on end.

Before he knew it, something strange came to his door.

The cat's sense of tension and crisis was much higher than that of the mole herd that he had killed during the day.

When he went out, he didn't have a gun, he didn't have any weapons, he was not far from home, and within 30 seconds, he could go back and take out the weapons, but he didn't dare to let the cat out of his sight.

He dropped his smoking gun and lunged at the cat, which he wanted to kill this time for sure.

As he ran, the cat jumped off the fence and ran toward the wilderness.

Kyungwon leaped deeply, jumped over the three-meter-high wall, and when he landed, he followed the faint flow of air and the smell of the cat, tracking the traces of the cat.

The zombie cat's speed is fast, but his speed is not slow either, and the distance between the two sides has been narrowing.

It was already very close, and it was about to catch up, when Kyungwon heard the sound of another animal running towards him.

It was a dog, a medium-sized zombie dog, and although it was rotten, it still looked like a Labrador.

The zombie dog came running from the opposite side of Kyungwon, who thought the zombie dog was a helper for the cat, but something unexpected happened.

The zombie dog pounced on the zombie cat, bit the cat's throat, held the cat down with his paws, and pulled the cat's skull off with a hard pull on his neck.

Jing Yuan stopped where he was, and looked at the zombie dog from a distance of three or five meters.

The dog was also looking at him, it was not the cat's helper, and even after killing the cat, it took a step back and gouged the cat's carcass forward, as if to show kindness?

Kyungwon touched his nose and looked at the dog warily, not closing the distance further.

The dog stirred up the dirt in front of him and dug a hole in the dirt with his paws.

After more than ten seconds, Kyung Won saw that it seemed to be writing.

Its writing was large, crooked, and Kyungwon barely made out two words.

"Run?" He said slowly, frozen in place.
