Volume 1: Stabilize the Waves, Chapter 4, the third day of the ninth month
The third day of the ninth lunar month.
It is advisable to move, travel, break ground, and erect monuments!
Do not pray for blessings, dig wells, hang plaques, and open lights!
…
Silently counting to a hundred again, Wei Lai, who was sweating profusely, stopped his squat and straightened up.
After a week of self-training, his spirit has recovered some of his previous state, less lazy and frivolous, and more down-to-earth and steady.
Today is the eighth day of the zombie outbreak.
In addition to the things that can be taken away in the store, all the other frozen foods, as well as vegetables and fruits that are not easy to carry, have all been eaten by him.
Today...
This small shop that has been with him for several years has completely lost his nostalgia!
It's time to get out there, too!
Grab the clean clothes that are on the sofa and put them on, and carry the backpack that you have prepared long ago. He took a deep look at the room again, and although his expression was complicated, there was no sadness in it before parting.
When he turned his head again,
There was only a determination left in his eyes.
I cautiously pushed open the door of the store, and there was silence outside. The zombies that had been wandering downstairs earlier don't know where they have gone...
Wei Lai cautiously leaned against the wall, came to the corner on tiptoe, and secretly exposed half of his head to observe the situation in front of him.
There was chaos in the open-air parking lot behind the building, with randomly parked cars, discarded school bags in a panic, and bloody stains all over the ground...
"What a wreck!"
Wei looked at everything in front of him, his eyes cold.
The fate of the young couple before can be imagined. At that time, he watched all this happen and was powerless. He couldn't save Cui Fat, who was far away in the sky, and he couldn't save the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks in front of him.
Live well!
Wei Lai, who had regained his mind, cheered himself up again, and then took advantage of the zombies in front of him who were not blocking the way, stepped out of the hidden corner, and ran towards the parking lot in front of him with a clear goal.
In the process of running, the footsteps paused slightly,
He kept picking up the backpack that the couple had left behind, not even thinking to check the contents. It went straight through his arm and back to his chest.
"!"
But before he could run far, he stopped suddenly, circled around three or two times, and hid behind a red sedan.
Around the corner...
The two dirty, blood-red zombies were staggering around the corner of the wall, moving towards this side.
The tall one, though with a drooping head and half eaten on his face, was clearly a man. The one who was a little shorter, with one arm missing, and boneless stubble, wore the same style of couple sweatshirt.
"Is that them?"
Wei Lai glanced down at the backpack on his chest, and scolded in a helpless whisper.
Originally, I took someone else's bag, and I still have a little feeling in my heart. As a result, it turned out that it was the young couple who came to act as an obstacle to the miserable fate of the previous couple.
And the left and right sides were quite empty, and there was no chance for him to hide and escape.
What to do?
Five meters... Four meters... Three meters... Two meters...
Listening to the footsteps dragging on the ground behind the car getting closer and closer, Wei Lai cautiously stretched his head and scanned the surroundings like a royal bastard.
Finding that there were no other zombies coming with him, his heart suddenly relaxed.
"Dead friends don't die poor!"
Whispering viciously, he squatted behind the car and held his breath as he clutched the handle of his knife tightly in both hands.
Since you can't escape, break out!
Just when the short zombie walked parallel to the rear of the car, Wei Lai, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly burst out, and the long knife in his hand followed.
"Death to the master!"
The place where the blade was pointed was its neck, which had been half eaten by the other zombies.
The shiny blade that he sharpened was quite powerful,
Unhindered slash!
And almost at the same time, the tall zombie next to him reacted, waving his claws and about to move forward. But the action was still not as fast as Wei Lai, who had planned for a long time, and he kicked him to the ground.
Then, before it could get up, the sharp tip of the knife was roughly inserted into his mouth.
Then he turned the handle of the knife hard,
The end of the roaring half of the sentence also disappeared!
"Whew..."
Wei Lai, who had relieved himself with two swords, breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he pulled out the long knife casually, quickly retracted back to the back of the car, and waited for two or three minutes in fear.
It wasn't until I found that there were no other sounds around me that I gradually relaxed.
"Dude, don't thank me!"
Looking at the very disgusting corpse on the ground, which was still gently twitching and flowing black liquid, Wei Lai muttered in a low voice. Then he stepped over and ran quickly in the direction of the supermarket.
…
Thank God!
The door of the supermarket was wide open, and he could see the dazzling array of goods inside from a distance of more than ten meters.
But as he got closer to the supermarket, the road on both sides became more and more empty, until there was nothing left to cover his body. I could already faintly hear the roar of zombies coming from the street next door.
He had to get into the supermarket as soon as possible, or he would be in danger of being spotted in the next second.
It's here!
When he was still more than a meter away from the door, Wei Lai rushed up the steps with an arrow step, turned around and jumped. With the force of his body falling, he directly pulled down the roller shutter door at the door.
With the clatter of the roller shutter door to the ground,
Those ugly zombies also turned out of the street corners one after another, with their miserable faces. One by one, they followed the sound and found it.
It's still a big fate!
Wei Lai looked at the zombies who had already come to him outside the window, and couldn't help but feel a kind of joy in his heart for the rest of his life. If the supermarket door had been locked, he'd have to serve those guys dry food today.
Let's go!
Just as he was lying on the window and looking out secretly proudly, the sound of an object falling to the ground suddenly came from inside.
This made the hairs on his body stand up instantly,
He looked back with a little horror.
Although he could have made a noise at the door before, to test if there were any zombies inside. But the consequence may also be to attract the zombies around you.
He wasn't sure if the thin roller shutter would be able to withstand the attacks of the men who had lost their minds.
But who would have thought that this step was wrong, and it actually caused the fire in the backyard now. Outside, there were hordes of zombies again. Just caught him in the middle, in a dilemma!
Live to do it, die it!
After only thinking for a short time, Wei Lai, who had relentlessly relented, bowed his body, stared at the inner room that was only a few steps away, and clenched the long knife in his hand again.
A few seconds later...
A head, half of its face covered by hair, cautiously protruded from the inside. Through the messy hair, you can vaguely see the same frightened expression.
The two looked at each other...
After discovering that the thing was a person and not a zombie, Wei Lai, who was startled, hurriedly stretched out his finger to his lips. A pair of eyes widened, motioning for the man to shut up.
His terrifying appearance was quickly exchanged for a nod like a chick pecking rice.
Chirping... Crash...
An unpleasant shrill voice came in.
It's a zombie scratching with their fingernails at what is just a tin shutter door. This simple action suddenly lifted Wei Lai's heart that he had just put down again. The body was pressed against the roller shutter door and did not dare to move.
Even the breathing is gradually slowing down!
Ultimately...
The dozen or so zombies who didn't find their target seemed to be a little disappointed, and one by one they kept letting out bursts of roars and stumbling towards the distance.
It was only at this time that Wei Lai, who had been sweating profusely for a long time, sat on the ground as if he had lost his strength. I kept panting and felt scared!
If this group of guys rushed in, they probably wouldn't look much better than the little couple. Then he thought of the number of zombies in the group just now, and shook his head helplessly.
I'm afraid it's going to be worse than them!
But the good thing is that things have passed, and he is safe for the time being.
Standing up with the long knife in his hand, he casually took a Coke from the shelf next to him and opened it with one hand, and poured a few sips. After a comfortable hiccups.
Wei came to the man in the room and said, "It's okay, you can come out." I'll leave when I've rested enough, don't be afraid! ”
The fellow, who looked like a woman, nodded in horror and retracted his head again. Then there was a crunching sound of eating again.
It's been a week since the zombie outbreak,
This is the first living person Wei Lai has seen, he didn't expect it to be such a big-hearted guy, and he can eat regardless of it in this environment.
This made him feel a little lighter than he had seen in a long time, and he couldn't help but grin. Then, following the woman's example, she picked up the things on the shelves and stuffed them into her mouth.
The two people in the house did not communicate at all,
There is only a clattering chewing and swallowing sound!
