Chapter 4: Dawn

"Click", with the twist of the key, the dark red wooden door slowly opened a gap, and Lin Zifeng's heart also raised his throat again.

The zombie in the corner is still lying there quietly, and the resurrected corpse has not gotten up again after all, maybe it is a real corpse now. Lin Zifeng vomited for a while, and only when he felt that there was nothing left in his stomach to spit out did he straighten up and look up at the completely dead zombie carefully. At this time, it was summer, and a half-sleeve that had been stained red with blood could not be seen at all, and the skin looked a little gray, but there was no sign of decay, maybe the time of death was too short?

Looking at it, Lin Zifeng suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a man living in the opposite door in his impression, and he seemed to have met him once when he went out to buy things a few days ago. It's just that in today's society, the relationship between people has long been indifferent, and it is not a new thing for neighbors to not interact with each other all year round. Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid that he finally climbed up when he came home at night and began to be infected and mutated, otherwise such a high staircase would not have run to the top of his own building.

The zombie's bulging pocket suddenly caught his attention, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally slowly reached out and touched the pocket on the corpse's pants. There was a mobile phone in his pocket that didn't look new, and I didn't know if I could open it, and there was a string of keys that were also stained with a little blood, as if they had fallen into red paint, and they were a little slippery. Lin Zifeng held back the nausea in his heart, took the key in his hand, and turned his head to look at the door opposite his house.

He wouldn't have done that in normal times, and who likes to be a sneaky person? But now the situation is a little different, there must be many people who have been infected and mutated like the man at the door, and the supplies in their own houses are almost exhausted these days, so they must find a way to accumulate some materials that can sustain their lives.

Lin Zifeng wanted to knock on the door first, but he usually didn't pay much attention to whether there was a family living in the door or only this one man, in case his family was still alive and hiding in the house, he was afraid that he would misunderstand if he went in so rashly. Besides, if the people in the house also mutate, I should be a little guarded. But after thinking about it, he didn't raise his hand, and quietly inserted the key into the door lock.

This zombie has been tossing against the door for so long, if someone is inside, it is not clear at night, I am afraid that the door has already been opened and bitten to death by the zombie.

If there are no living people, then you should be careful.

Lin Zifeng gently held the doorknob with his left hand, slowly pulled it open, and his right hand tightly grasped the kitchen knife pulled from the zombie's head, and his heart, which had just regained his calmness, began to beat again, and his whole body was a little hot. When the door was halfway open, he had already stopped moving, slowly lowered his body and picked up the tempered glass pot lid stained with red and white liquid again, and quietly squeezed into the defenseless room.

Standing at the door with a hunched body, Lin Zifeng held his breath and listened quietly for dozens of seconds, and found that there was no abnormal sound, and then reached out and touched the switch on the right hand side of the door. The layout of the house on both sides is the same, and the light switch should also be in this position. With the crisp sound of "Deng", the living room suddenly lit up.

The sudden light made Lin Zifeng feel a little uncomfortable, and his slightly narrowed eyes began to look at the situation in the house vigilantly.

The living room is not big, at a glance, there are a few bottles of unopened canned beer on the coffee table, and some peanuts and meat that may be used for wine are scattered scattered, but there is nothing too messy in addition, and the overall appearance is relatively clean. The bedroom door was tightly closed, and the crack in the door below was pitch black, and it was estimated that there was no light inside.

Seeing the situation in the living room, Lin Zifeng first turned around and closed the door, and then vigilantly looked at the direction of the kitchen and bathroom, and after a while, he found that there was nothing abnormal, and slowly moved to the kitchen with the lid and kitchen knife, and checked the situation in the bathroom, which was empty. The light in the living room shined through the transparent glass door of the kitchen, Lin Zifeng leaned on the door to observe for a moment and then opened the door to enter, there was nothing dangerous, but the two boxes of instant noodles and an unopened bag of rice placed in the place made him a little happy. In addition, there are dozens of different cans in the kitchen cabinet, and a dozen or so ham sausages tied together, which is enough to eat for a few days.

The harvest in the kitchen made him a little happy, and his nervousness eased as he went to check out the bedroom.

After about a few minutes, the place in the house has been checked inside and out by Lin Zifeng, and there is no imaginary danger in the locked bedroom, a single bed, a tall three-dimensional wardrobe, and a small table are almost all the decorations in the bedroom. But when Lin Zifeng opened the cabinet under the wardrobe, he found an unexpected harvest, a well-made long knife that was very similar to the Tang knife on TV. The slender blade is about seventy centimeters long, and the snow-white blade looks like it will be blown off, this is a weapon that has already been bladed! No wonder it was carefully hidden in the cabinet, if it was seen by others, I am afraid that it would be a little scared, but for Lin Zifeng at this time, it was undoubtedly a relief in the snow.

Lin Zifeng put the knife on his back, tried to pull it out from his back and swung it a few times, the good feel brought by the excellent workmanship made him feel very satisfied, isn't this much stronger than the broken kitchen knife? And I don't know if it's my own illusion, this knife actually doesn't look light, such a long blade swings like an arm commanding feeling, and it doesn't feel heavy, is it because I've been sick for a few days and my physical fitness has improved? After thinking about it, he still didn't have a clue, and the only thing he knew for sure was that he was at least not infected, because all his attention was now on the pile of canned food and snacks in the kitchen.

The top-floor layout is actually not too big, and the one-bedroom apartment is only suitable for single men or small couples like Lin Zifeng. But at this time, the extremely quiet room seemed inexplicably empty. Several bottles of beer had been opened on the table, along with two open boxes of canned luncheon meat, and a few bags of bread found from the kitchen were dropped on the floor. Lin Zifeng ate and drank to his heart's content, lay on the sofa and began to think about the events of these days, the sudden flu was widely infected, and he fell asleep inexplicably for a few days, and after waking up, he encountered such a bizarre and terrifying thing. All this shows the fact that the new disease reported on the news every day is probably not the flu, but a biochemical virus that is enough to destroy human society! I've just tried my mobile phone, but there is still no network, maybe the matter is much more serious than I imagined.

Outside the window began to slowly brighten, and a few rays of light came in through the closed curtains.

From time to time, a rustling sound came from outside the window, as if someone was dragging something. Lin Zifeng suddenly got up and ran to the window and opened the curtains. The light of dawn suddenly filled the room, and as the outside of the room gradually lit up, his pupils suddenly began to dilate, and a scene that made him feel extremely frightened appeared in front of him.

He looked down from above, and the ground was littered with rickety corpses, dragging their stiff soles of their feet, "sand, sand."
