Chapter 149: "The Shell Lang flew over." ”
I didn't know that someone was going to find them Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou, who were pushing a shopping cart to buy things in the supermarket.
Supermarkets are divided into four areas: grain, spices, poultry, fish and shrimp, and daily necessities.
They put a 5-kilogram bag of rice, a 3-kilogram bag of flour, a 400ml bottle of peanut oil, a 500ml bottle of vinegar, a bag of salt and monosodium glutamate.
Chi Yue: "Visiting the vegetable area again?" ”
Although there is no shortage of supplies, they haven't been out for two months, and they should save face no matter what.
Vegetables take up the most space.
Three cabbages can fit a plastic bag, which can show that they have bought a lot of supplies.
"Okay." Wen Qizhou pushed the shopping cart, carefully avoiding the residents, and followed Chi Yue to the vegetable area.
In the vegetable section, there are only turnips, arugula, cabbage lettuce, cucumbers, eggplant and pumpkin.
Chi Yue picks cabbage.
There were only seven or eight cabbages left, and she had just picked up a cabbage that looked at the watery spirit, and suddenly there was an extra hand next to her.
The hand snatched her cabbage, put it in the plastic bag containing the vegetables with a "pop", and continued to pick it as if nothing happened.
"Uncle." Chi Yue roughly judged the gender and age of the other party through his movements, body shape, and eyes under the goggles, and said coldly: "You didn't buy vegetables like this." ”
"You want to care?"
"You're robbing me of food, and you're still so crossy? Nine years of compulsory education didn't teach you politeness? ”
"Who robbed you of your food?" The old man stared at her through the goggles, and his triangular eyes were slightly mean: "Your name is written on the counter?" I'll take my food, it's your business! ”
He interprets the "unreasonable".
Or, he relied on the fact that he was not monitored and guarded by soldiers, so he unscrupulously showed the mentality of "you don't have a job to take me".
Chi Yue sneered: "The uneducated thing is really a hateful face. ”
"Isn't it just an abomination?" Wen Qizhou glanced at the middle-aged woman, and her indifferent tone was quite disgusted: "Some things even the skin and flesh are smelly, and wherever you go, it will affect the air." ”
They didn't say half of the dirty words, but they fell into the ears of the old man, but they were extremely harsh.
His chest heaved with rage.
Before he could teach them a lesson, his legs were inexplicably weak, and the whole person fell to the ground, suddenly convulsing.
"Ah...... Help me!! ”
A scream like a choking of the neck reverberated through the vegetable section, attracting the attention of residents standing elsewhere.
Seeing that the old man's condition was not right, Wen Qizhou immediately pushed the shopping cart and took Chi Yue's hand to leave the vegetable area.
The masses who are still buying vegetables have a sense of crisis, and they don't care about shopping more, so they go to the cashier to settle the bill together.
While they were walking out, two soldiers with long pole clamps and glass jars hurried to the old man's side.
"He's parasitized by bugs?" Someone glanced back and caught a glimpse of the soldier taking off his protective suit, looking for traces of mutant bugs, shivering and closing the distance between them.
"I guess he's twitching."
"It's scary......"
"I'm used to it." The man behind Wen Qizhou said: "The courtyard where I live is often parasitized, and at least two or three people die every day. ”
"The same goes for Building B."
"How many deaths are there now?" People who hadn't paid attention to the bulletin board threw inquiring glances at them.
"As of yesterday it was 327."
"Hey...... More than 300 families. ”
They sighed, listening to the terrible screams coming from the vegetable area from time to time, and they didn't have the heart to chat with others.
*
Heat waves surged through the streets.
The heat approaching 40 degrees Celsius made the people walking on the streets unbearable hot, and the pace under their feet also accelerated.
Wen Qizhou, who was carrying a shopping bag, walked to the off-road vehicle parked behind the supermarket, and drove Chi Yue back to the second district.
On the way to get out of the car and walk towards Building C, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of an insect crawling to Chi Yue's instep.
"Yueyue, don't move!"
Chi Yue stopped.
She followed Wen Qizhou's gaze and looked down, and her apricot eyes reflected the shell Lang crawling up along her instep.
The hairs on his body suddenly stood on end.
In the next second, Wen Qizhou raised his right foot, brushed his toes against Chi Yue's instep, and kicked away the mutant shell lang.
The shell Lang, who was kicked away, rolled over on the spot.
Chi Yue, who was about to make up for it and send it to the western sky, had not had time to put it into action, when he suddenly saw it flapping a pair of wings and flying towards them violently.
Chi Yue: "!! ”
She was stunned for two seconds, grabbed Wen Qizhou's arm tightly, and rushed to the door of the unit building.
A drama of "you chase me and escape" is staged.
The shell like kraft candy stared in their direction and chased forward reluctantly, making a "fluttering" sound similar to carrying things as they chased.
"Comrade!" Chi Yue's sharp eyes saw the soldier holding the long pole clamp, and shouted: "There is a shell lang flying over." ”
The soldier looked behind them.
I really saw a black shell.
He waved the long pole clamp and walked forward, and the comrade-in-arms on the side took out the electric mosquito swatter pinned to his waist with his backhand and followed closely behind.
"Smack—"
The shell who chased them with his head was bumped into the electric mosquito swatter, and was so electric that he sizzled.
The moment it fell to the ground, the soldier grabbed its body and quickly put it into the glass jar he carried with him.
Watching it struggle in the glass jar, the fear that surged into Chi Yue's heart disappeared when she was chased by it.
She thanked the soldiers.
Then he walked to the elevator entrance, panted slightly and Wen Qizhou took the elevator upstairs: "I don't want to go out next." ”
The flying mutant worm is more likely to make people have shadows, just watching it poke out its slender mouthparts and fly after them, she is uncomfortable all over her body.
Wen Qizhou: "Are you still afraid?" ”
"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid." She took out the key and opened the single room they were renting: "I just don't feel comfortable. ”
"Shall we take a shower later?"
"Okay." After closing the security door, they entered the space with the purchased supplies.
She and Wen Qizhou sprayed disinfectant and insecticide twice on each other, waited in place for a moment before taking off their protective clothing, goggles and masks, and walking downstream of the stream.
The babbling water of the stream is chilling.
They soaked in the stream, and the heat from the outside world quietly receded, and the pores of their bodies were comfortable.
"Sleepy?" Seeing Chi Yue shrugging her eyelids and looking tired, Wen Qizhou stood up with her waist around her.
Chi Yue: "Sort of. She hugged Wen Qizhou's neck and yawned, "You can sleep with me for a while." ”
"Well, wipe dry and go to sleep."
He wiped the water marks on the skin, then wrapped Chi Yue in a bath towel, and hugged her out of the stream.
