Chapter 8 Borrowing Grain
After a long time, Cheng Xu came to his senses.
He reached out and gently scratched Chu Xiu's chin, Chu Xiu squinted his eyes comfortably and meowed.
Of course, it's comfortable to scratch your chin, but it's still hungry.
He glanced up at Cheng Xu again, and Cheng Xu also had a solemn look on his face.
Just now, he just escaped the zombies, but the food hasn't landed yet.
Knowing that something like this would happen, he would have bought more food.
He took out his mobile phone and opened the shopping software, in fact, just a few days ago, he also ordered a lot of snacks online, if it was in the past, these snacks should have been delivered to his home a long time ago, but now, the logistics have long been stopped, and his snacks are three kilometers away from his home.
Three kilometers, but it has become a moat between him and them.
"Whew~"
Cheng Xu took a deep breath, put the phone into the backpack, and helped Chu Xiu re-bandage it, and then gently hugged it tightly in the bag.
He picked up the fallen kitchen knife, held it tightly, and then jerked the deformed table leg away.
A corpse fell towards him, and Cheng Xu was startled and jumped away.
The zombie fell to the ground without any movement, Cheng Xu picked up the table leg and turned it over, its face had already been cut down, it should be because it was cut by Cheng Xu before.
Sure that it really won't jump up anymore, Cheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go down, but Chu Xiu called out in a low voice, "Meow~"
Brother, are you sure you don't check the brains of these zombies?
I've heard that there will be crystal nuclei inside.
Cheng Xu is not a fool, seeing that Chu Xiu has been staring at this zombie, he also understood, endured the nausea, and used the kitchen knife in his hand to cut the zombie's brain alive.
Compared with the human brain, this zombie's brain is full of flocculents, and in the slimy mass, a red crystal nucleus is particularly conspicuous.
Cheng Xu endured the nausea, reached out and picked it up, wiped it, and put it in his bag.
It is impossible to eat, and it is not that he didn't see the spiritual anchor eating the crystal nucleus and finally returning to the western sky, but with the experience he has gained from various popular science (novel) books, this zombie crystal nucleus will definitely be useful.
Chu Xiu also pressed this crystal nucleus with his little meat claw, this crystal nucleus is cold and cold, and the texture is like a stone, it shouldn't be edible, right?
But since it exists, then in this kind of eschatology, it must be a good thing, but the specific use, they have not yet excavated.
Cheng Xu and Chu Xiu obviously had similar ideas, and he also actively dug up the zombie crystal nuclei, but some of these zombie crystal nuclei were big and some were small, and some didn't even have them.
Don't look at the fact that he blocked the door and cut for almost two hours before, in fact, he didn't cut many zombies, but there were only thirteen, but these zombies obviously couldn't be cut to death at once, so he spent a little more effort.
These thirteen zombie corpses provided Cheng Xu with a total of six crystal nuclei, and the probability was about one-in-two.
Stepping down from this staircase, Cheng Xu's mind pinched again, but after the battle, he obviously grew a lot, he walked to the door of the fire road, and did not push the door open, but gently knocked on the door with the kitchen knife in his hand that was almost missing, if there were zombies nearby, hearing the sound, he must have come over.
After making sure that there were no zombies nearby, Cheng Xu gently pushed the door open.
Standing in front of the door, he was a little silent again.
In the corridor, the silence is a little excessive, this apartment building is inhabited by some office workers, the day of the incident is a weekend morning, most people will not get up early to go out, after seeing what is happening outside from the upstairs, they must be like him, close the door tightly.
Now he has cleaned up more than a dozen zombies, and there is a curfew downstairs, which means that the building is still safe, but the problem is that he has no food, and he must go out.
There are no zombies in the building, but there are so many zombies outside that they can't escape the doom, except that they are lucky enough to come back a step early.
Will you starve to death, or will you be torn to pieces by zombies?
That's really a problem.
The quiet corridor was frightening, Cheng Xu didn't want to choose any way, he took out his mobile phone from his backpack tremblingly, and began to call his friends.
He remembers that he had several of his colleagues living in the building, and it would have been nice to ask them to borrow some food.
The phone rang in the silence.
He was lucky that at this time, the phone was still able to get through.
"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to eat myself, and I'm trying to borrow it from you."
"I saw news on the Internet that the country has sent an army to rescue, you can bear with it again, I am also hungry."
was rejected twice in a row, Cheng Xu was a little disappointed, but thinking that even his girlfriend could shut him out, and others didn't borrow him food, there was nothing to say.
He still mustered up the courage to make a third call.
When the bell rang, Cheng Xu seemed to want to strengthen his confidence, and he said to Chu Xiu: "Meow, don't worry, this girl usually cooks at home, she must have food at home, I usually help her in the company, she will definitely help us." ”
However, the phone was connected, and as soon as he said his words, there was a burst of laughter from the other side, "Brother Cheng, food is life at this time, you are really embarrassed to find someone to borrow it, why didn't I find that your face is so big before?" ”
With that, he hung up the phone.
"Meow, I'm sorry, I can't borrow it."
was rejected three times in a row, and Cheng Xu sat at the door with a decadent face.
"Meow~" Chu Xiu comforted him in a low voice, it's all this time, and it's understandable that others don't lend him food.
Whoever wants to lend what he has the food he has to others is not a saint.
"It's okay, isn't it just food, let's find it ourselves, there are many shops downstairs."
Chu Xiu couldn't speak, only "meowed" and said to him.
"Yes, you're right, there's a lot of food downstairs, let's find it ourselves."
When Cheng Xu said this, Chu Xiu was startled, what was going on? Could it be that he can understand himself?
Later, he thought that it was him who had entered the picture, which must have been his interpretation of his own voice.
"Brother, I still have a little food here."
Just as they plucked up their courage and were about to go downstairs, a door opened across from them.
There was an otaku standing outside the door.
Well, after Chu Xiu's identification, this is definitely an otaku who is more otaku than Cheng Xu, look at the thick glasses on his face, look at the greasy bangs on his forehead, and look at the plaid shirt on his body, it's strange that this is not an otaku.
"Why are you helping me?" Cheng Xu asked suspiciously.
