Chapter 48: Alive
The sun outside was approaching the horizon at some point, and the light inside seemed to suddenly dim. In some dimly lit corridors, there was a group of men sitting or standing panting, the axes in their hands were completely soaked in blood, and they exuded a strong smell of blood.
Almost everyone has an unprecedented sense of relaxation, and the dozen or so cannibalistic zombies wandering in the basement are the nightmare that keeps many people awake at night. Everyone was afraid that if they closed their eyes, a zombie would creep up the stairs and drag some hapless man into the dark basement.
But now they don't need to be scared anymore, even the crowd hiding behind and quietly watching has already known the news, and the zombies in the basement have been cleared! They don't need to go hungry right away! People suffering from hunger and zombies finally have a moment to breathe.
Lin Zifeng and Wang Yao did not urge at this time, the corners of their mouths rose slightly, the plan to get here has been successful The first step, as for how to distribute these materials next, that is another matter. Wang Yao called a few onlookers and moved the table in front of him while the six were still resting.
Several men responded to him with a flattering face, but their eyes were filled with fear when they saw the table in front of them, and then they fell down the stairs with a wow-wow-wow. Looking at the few cowards who were scared enough just to see the remains of the zombies, the faces of the few people who had just survived desperately with the zombies began to show contemptuous expressions.
Half an hour ago, they were still the same, but half an hour later, it seems that many things are starting to be different. Wang Yao was also a little amused when he looked at the men who came over to move the table, and shook his head and asked them to go out and change a few people. The faces of the few people sitting on the ground trembling immediately showed expressions of salvation, and they fled with a stream of urine.
After a while, several middle-aged women who looked to be forty or fifty years old walked in, all with thick waists and speaking with a Z urban and rural accent. After receiving Wang Yao's order, they forcibly suppressed the disgust and fear in their hearts and began to clean up the battlefield under the stairs.
Lin Zifeng quietly walked to Wang Yao's side, looked at the busy women below with him, and said softly: "This place, you have to send someone to take care of it." Hundreds of people, no order. Wang Yao nodded slightly, his solemn expression seemed to be thinking about something, "What about you?" ”
"I know what you're trying to say, but I'm not right yet. You are a member of the military, and they trust you more. So the establishment of order must require you to take the lead. Don't think too much about the rest, it's all about being alive right now. Lin Zifeng had already guessed what he was thinking, so he simply said it bluntly.
Besides, for him, after everything settles down, he will have to start again after all. His parents were in City D, not far from the city, and the stubborn old man didn't know what was going on, and his mother, who had always cared about how he was doing.
In fact, Lin Zifeng probably guessed the ending, but what if? What if they survived by chance, and are hiding somewhere waiting for the government's rescue? They are so old, even if they can last a few days, how long can they last?
Thinking about it, my heart began to feel a little sad slowly, and I couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. Seeing that the following was almost cleaned up, Wang Yao patted him on the shoulder and said, "What do you think, let's go, go and see our loot." ”
"Well, I see, let's go." Lin Zifeng responded, looked at the few people waiting below, and walked down slowly.
Wang Yao looked at the dark basement entrance in front of him, thought about it, and ordered the few people who followed him to be careful, and then led everyone to follow behind Lin Zifeng. Through the dim light that came in from the door, it was only vaguely visible that there seemed to be a lot of materials piled up around, and when Wang Yao finally found the switch of the backup generator and pressed it, with the rotation of the generator with a bang, the dazzling white light suddenly filled the entire field of vision.
When the eyes finally adjusted to the sudden light on, everyone was a little stunned, and some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief. What appeared in front of them was an incomparably large indoor space, with incandescent lamps hanging on the ceiling to cast light from above, making every corner appear incomparably bright.
This can no longer be said to be a basement, it is completely a military underground warehouse, and Lin Zifeng can't even see the edge of the warehouse at a glance. Rows of boxes stacked more than three meters high are neatly placed together, with bold characters written on them in white paint: clothing, military cans, compressed biscuits, rice, white flour, purified water, and even a few diesel generators that have not started are stacked in the corner not far away.
As eyes began to focus on the walls of cardboard boxes stacked with food and water, everyone's faces began to show excitement. They cheered and ran over to that side, hurriedly taking down a box with compressed biscuits written on it, and looking at the biscuits densely stuffed in the box, tears suddenly slipped from the eyes of several people.
From the day the disaster struck, it seemed that everything was never the same again. From time to time, the screams of some unlucky man being eaten by zombies could be heard from the surrounding rooms, and fear hung over them all the time.
Then came the more difficult problem, in this materially rich society, no one would go out of their way to store a lot of food and water, and no one would have thought that such a catastrophe would befall inexplicably. Hunger followed fear and began to torment these poor survivors day and night.
When they finally escaped to the government-planned evacuation point, they had just stopped and could not even catch their breath, and chaos ensued. Then he hid in the building and lived a day of fear, not knowing how long he could hold out or when death would come.
Looking at the colorful packaging bag in his hand, someone couldn't wait to tear it open and bite it, the taste was very dry, but it was unusually full in the stomach. Several people gulped down the biscuits in the box, their faces full of satisfaction, until they felt like they couldn't stuff them anymore, and their mouths felt like they were on fire.
A few bottles of pure water were suddenly thrown at their feet, and a few people looked up to see Lin Zifeng looking at them with a smile. The clear, sweet water of "Grunt" moistened the cracked lips and slid down the equally dry throat into everyone's stomach, filling everyone's chest with pleasure for the first time in a long time.
They finally saw the hope of living again, and the original prejudice against Lin Zifeng and others in their hearts also collapsed in an instant at this moment. The biscuits that begin to swell after encountering water make everyone's stomach look incomparably full, and it is so full that it is intoxicating.
It's good to be alive.
