"Lao Zheng, come in!"

A middle-aged man shouted outside with a panicked face, and less than fifty meters away from him, several figures were fleeing quickly in this direction.

Behind those few people, there were more than a dozen rotten zombies chasing after them, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the man at the back!

He didn't dare to look back, his eyes were all focused on the hidden iron gate in front of him, and the two women and a man in front of him were only half a body away from him.

But the zombies behind were getting closer and closer, and before they could run to the door, they would be directly caught up by this group of small corpses.

The expression on his face gradually calmed down, and he ran around looking around at the buildings, looking for any other way to temporarily hinder the corpses behind him.

It was in the middle of the market, a long, narrow street lined with low floors that had been built by the company in the early years.

"Lao Zhao Aquatic Products Shop."

A small two-story building appeared in his sight, right on the left-hand side, the door of the shop on the first floor was wide open, and the stalls outside had been trampled by the chaotic crowd of people a few months ago, and a large pile of stinking dead fish was bleeding pus underneath.

The man seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes flashed, and then he shouted to the man inside the iron gate in front of him: "Brother Wang! Help me take care of my wife and daughter! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the fish shop on the left, and pushed down the water tank placed on the stall, making a loud clanging sound. The group of corpses that were already very close to him behind him suddenly turned around like dumplings that had exploded into a pot, and they all turned their heads and ran towards the aquatic product store!

The three people who had been running in front heard his shouts and just wanted to look back, when they heard a zombie roar from behind them again, and then the chaotic dragging sound sounded again, so frightened that they didn't dare to look at it at all and hurriedly ran towards the iron gate in front.

One of the women looked younger, only fourteen or fifteen years old.

When she heard the voice of the man behind her, she hurriedly looked back, and her body was stunned, but before the words came out, she was grabbed by the older woman next to her and continued to run forward, until the three of them rushed into the iron gate.

"Wow—"

The man's real name is Wang Lu, and when he saw that Lao Zheng had disappeared into the aquatic product shop in the distance, a trace of unbearability appeared on his face, but he still closed the iron door at the moment when the three of them entered.

The three or five zombies that came with them slammed their bodies against the iron door, causing the three people who had just rushed in to retreat a few steps from the door in a hurry, and looked at them in horror for a while before finally relieving themselves.

The iron gate is very solid, and almost every shop here is equipped with this type of iron gate.

But every time I saw it banged by those zombies, I still couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

Wang Lu knew that those zombies couldn't get in, he was a little worried about what happened to Lao Zheng now, and even had the urge to push the door out to save him.

But reason told him that not only could he not save people when he went out at this time, but he also had to put himself in.

The relationship between the two was very good, and in the past, almost every once in a while, the two families would drink and eat together, or bring a few fish from the market to the river to roast.

When he thought of this, he felt uncontrollably sad, Lao Zheng, who lured most of the zombies away alone, was probably more than lucky.

In addition to Lao Zheng's wife and daughter, there was also a man who looked to be in his forties, who was looking curiously inside the room at this time, and his eyes still drifted to the mature woman next to him from time to time.

"What do you call this brother?"

Wang Lu looked at him and frowned, this person didn't know him, it was estimated that he had met other survivors when Lao Zheng came.

Just looking at his sneaky appearance, I'm afraid he may not be a good person.

"What do you call this brother?"

But people can't be disguised, there is one living person now, and it is not easy to survive, so Wang Lu forced himself to let go of his prejudice against him and asked.

The man was probably old, and the thinning hair on the top of his head looked like it hadn't been washed for a long time, and he was lying on it and shining with oil.

When he heard the voice, he hurriedly turned around, and happened to meet Wang Lu's eyes with some interrogation, his face suddenly looked a little panicked, and he responded with a smile on his face: "This big brother, my name is Xu Jiantong, please take care of me in the future haha!" ”

Xu Jiantong smiled like this, and his already slightly narrow eyes suddenly narrowed into a line, looking very obscene.

Just looking at it like this, Wang Lu felt an instinctive disgust for him, but he still didn't fully show it under the control of reason, and just asked again in a flat tone: "Do you know my brother?" ”

What he said was to know the relationship between the two, if this Xu Jiantong was really Lao Zheng's friend, then he would naturally have to do his best as a brother.

When Xu Jiantong heard him ask, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he still said with a somewhat flattering appearance: "I know each other, I used to go to him to buy vegetables." It's just that I haven't seen him since that day, but today I met again, and I didn't have a place to go, so I ran with him in this direction. ”

Then he told him what had happened to him these days, and even how he met Lao Zheng.

In the end, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, looked at Wang Lu with an expectant look in his eyes and said, "That, big brother, can you give saliva to drink?" It would be nice if I had something to eat, and I won't tell you I haven't eaten in almost two days. ”

At this time, the little girl next to her also said that she was a little hungry, so Wang Lu rubbed her head with a doting face, and led the three of them to the restaurant on the second floor.

This is his residence, with three floors, just like the other residents of this market street, the first floor is used as a shop, and the second and third floors are places to live and rest.

It is precisely because most of the people on Market Street are merchants themselves, so they have some stock on weekdays, which can last for months surrounded by corpses.

This market street is not in the heart of Anlu District, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and is surrounded by old residential areas.

But it is also thanks to the blessings of these surrounding communities, which was originally just a place where hawkers gather to sell some fish and shrimp, and finally slowly formed a bustling street.

Less than a kilometer away is the Bali River, which runs through Z City, and seafood has naturally become the main commodity here.

Especially after the establishment of Lu's aquatic product processing factory, the crowd has become more dense, and people come here almost at any time from early morning to evening to buy something to cook rice again.

And the shop opened by Wang Lu's family happens to sell rice, flour, grain and oil.

As for Lao Zheng, he opened a grocery store in some places outside Market Street, and after the disaster, the family who was lucky enough to escape the mutation hid in their own house and waited for the government to rescue.

But as time passed, the hopeful rescue was delayed, and there were more and more zombies on the streets outside.

At the same time, the small shop, which was already small, finally ran out of stock, and the family was about to starve.

But suddenly something happened that prompted them to finally make the decision to defect to Wang Lu.
