7 Escape
There was no mobile phone to play, so Chi Xiaoxian lay down early.
The roller shutter door was ventilated, and it was blown by the night wind from time to time, which made Chi Xiaoxian sleep not very peacefully.
He dreamed of living in the attic with his family when he was five years old. There was a skylight in the ceiling of his bedroom, which was worn and loose, and fluttered when the wind blew, and the wind that rushed into the room rattled the pages of the book on his desk.
It didn't take long for them to move, and then kept moving, like birds that kept migrating. But the birds would come back in winter, and they never returned to any of the places where they had lived.
It wasn't until the Southern Highlands were built that they finally had a room in the 10th arrondissementβtwo bedrooms and one living room, one for his parents and one for him and his grandmother.
A year later, there were only two people left in the family of four, and Chi Xiaoxian had his own room, and he lived in his parents' original room.
The 10th district has many factories, not a residential functional area, and the quality of the houses is not very good, and the windows still ring on windy nights. The sound of the wind was like the sound of words, whimpering in his ear, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Are you asleep?" The words suddenly became clear.
In the fog, Chi Xiaoxian felt that someone was breathing a wet breath in his ear.
Then the limbs and chest became extremely heavy, as if they were being weighed down by a jack, and there was a burning heat.
"Whew-"
Chi Xiaoxian struggled to wake up and found that his mouth had been covered.
When he saw the person in front of him, his pupils suddenly dilated.
"Shh Zheng Yikai said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I have no malice." β
Chi Xiaoxian looked at him blankly.
After a while, Zheng Yikai let go of his hand, and Chi Xiaoxian sat up suddenly, panting violently.
"You...... Do? β
"Had a nightmare?" Zheng Yikai asked him rhetorically.
ββ¦β¦ It doesn't count. β
"I heard footsteps outside, and you were talking in your dreams again, and I wanted you to be quiet, for fear of attracting the attention of the zombies."
Chi Xiaoxian stroked his chest, calmed his breathing for a while and then let out a low hum.
"What did you dream about? It feels like you're sad. β
He raised his hand and wanted to help Chi Xiaoxian wipe the sweat off his sideburns, but Chi Xiaoxian dodged unconsciously.
"Don't you like me?" Zheng Yikai stared at him, "Hide from me twice." β
Chi Xiaoxian looked at him suddenly.
Zheng Yikai's eyes had a look that was unfamiliar to himβlike a beast locking onto its prey, with an uncomfortably aggressive look in his eyes.
Zheng Yikai's gaze moved inch by inch, from his long eyelashes, to the delicate and straight bridge of his nose, to his pale pink lips...... That gaze finally landed on his collarbone.
"You're the type of person who would like men." Zheng Yikai said quietly.
βοΌβ Chi Xiaoxian couldn't believe his ears.
"Did I get it right?" Zheng Yikai did not forgive.
"It's not polite for you to talk like that." Chi Xiaoxian distanced himself from him and looked at him coldly, "It doesn't matter to you what I look like or who I like." Even my best friend wouldn't play such a joke on me. β
"Your best friend ......" Zheng Yikai pondered for a while, "Is that the one named Zhang Wensheng?" Are you roommates? β
Chi Xiaoxian frowned. His privacy was spied on, and he felt a little unhappy.
"Don't look at me like that, make me look like a voyeur...... He and I are both from engineering school, and we usually take classes together, so I don't think there's anything special about it. β
"Of course, I have also paid attention to you, you have never been in love, and the person with whom you usually have the best relationship is Zhang Wensheng." Zheng Yikai stared into his eyes.
"Do you like Zhang Wensheng?"
"You two aren't going to fall in love in the dorm, are you?"
Chi Xiaoxian's fire finally came up. It's just that you are talking nonsense, and even bringing friends has to be arranged at will.
"I warn you, you talk nonsense again-"
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Yikai hugged him violently and held him tightly in his arms.
The strength was so great that Chi Xiaoxian struggled several times and didn't get out.
He was enveloped in an unfamiliar smell of salty sweat, and his stomach began to churn.
"I didn't care about it before." Zheng Yikai is completely immersed in his own world, "Like me from now on." I saved you last time I was trapped at the door of the dormitory, so you have to thank me so much......"
Chi Xiaoxian struggled not to move, and suddenly gave up as if he had unloaded all his strength.
Feeling his waist softened, Zheng Yikai raised his head happily: "You agreed?" I knew you still had a crush on me......"
For a while, he was itchy and unbearable, and closed his eyes to find Chi Xiaoxian's lips.
Suddenly, Zheng Yikai sat on his back and fell to the ground, falling to the sky.
He covered his lower abdomen, cold sweat soared, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Chi Xiaoxian: "How dare you-"
Chi Xiaoxian turned his head and fled towards the stairs.
But he underestimated Zheng Yikai's tenacity, and before he could climb two steps, he was pulled by the collar from behind, and then his neck was tightly strangled.
Chi Xiaoxian tried to kick the person behind him, but he kicked it empty, and was dragged by his calf.
Zheng Yikai almost dragged him down the stairs alive.
Chi Xiaoxian's heart was extremely complicated for a moment. He was lucky enough to escape the zombies twice, and in the end, he was actually killed in a safe place.
"Bang-"
A crisp voice sounded behind him.
In an instant, the force exerted on his neck and calves was all gone.
He instinctively turned his head, only to see Zheng Yikai's head tilted to the side of his neck, his body swayed, and then fell down softly.
No, he obviously didn't kick it.
But before he could react, his unsupported body slid down, and he was about to roll down the stairs......
He was grabbed by his clothes.
"Stand still." A cold voice.
Chi Xiaoxian climbed up the steps and turned his head to see Fang Yue.
Fang Yue was holding a thick hard-bound book in his hand, with the spine facing outward, and there was a dent mark on it.
He stuffed the hardcover book into Chi Xiaoxian's hand, and bent down to check Zheng Yikai's situation.
"Didn't you sleep upstairs?"
"Just got down to the bathroom."
Fang Yue patted Zheng Yikai's face, lifted his eyelids and looked at it, and made a conclusion succinctly: "...... Dizzy. β
"What now?"
Fang Yue didn't speak, but he had already answered him with actions.
He tied Zheng Yikai's hands and feet with the plastic rope that tied the book, then pinched his chin and lifted it to make his mouth open naturally, and then blocked the newspaper.
"You're so skilled......"
Fang Yue threw the person to the wall and dusted off the wall ash rubbed on his body: "I have always watched a few crime movies." β
Yes, it's a reverse teaching. Chi Xiaoxian is also convinced.
"Tomorrow is the problem." Fang Yue said lightly, "I have to explain to them." β
Chi Xiaoxian was stunned for two seconds, and then bit his lip.
"You're ...... Heard it? β
"Hear a little, and guess the rest."
Fang Yue looked up at him lightly: "Of course, you can not explain, because tomorrow the food will run out, and you have to escape to find supplies." β
Chi Xiaoxian's heart jumped.
After a while, he made a proposal: "Maybe you can find a way to go to the dormitory, I heard from my roommate that Building A is fine, and no one is infected." I had stocked up on some food in my dorm room. β
"Feasible." Fang Yue nodded, "I also have some food, I can hold on for a while." β
After they decided, Zheng Yikai, who was tied up, suddenly moved. After a splitting headache, he finally barely opened his eyes, and when he saw the situation clearly, he struggled violently: "Woo-"
Fang Yue stood with his hands down, looked down at him and said lightly: "You have two choices, one is to stay obediently, and the other is to open the roller shutter door and throw you out now." β
Zheng Yikai's eyes widened and he didn't move.
There was silence in the room, the clock clicked, and the hands pointed to two o'clock in the morning.
"Rest." Fang Yue said to Chi Xiaoxian, "You go upstairs, I'll sleep on the first floor." β
Chi Xiaoxian stood still.
"Don't be polite to me." Fang Yue seemed to see through him, "I'm going to use the computer to type later, it will make you sleep." β
"Okay." Chi Xiaoxian whispered, "Then you should rest early." β
When he woke up the next day, Feng Bing was a little surprised to see that it was not Fang Yue but Chi Xiaoxian who was sleeping in the room, and Chi Xiaoxian had to explain that Fang Yue wanted to use the computer on the first floor.
Feng Bing didn't care. She slept so deeply last night that she had absolutely no idea what was going on.
When Chi Xiaoxian went downstairs to brush his teeth, he found that Zheng Yikai had been untied from the plastic rope, and he was sitting at the dining table with his head hanging down and playing with his mobile phone.
Chi Xiaoxian cast a puzzled look at Fang Yue. Fang Yue lifted his chin slightly, signaling not to pay attention.
Chi Xiaoxian guessed that he probably made some kind of agreement with Zheng Yikai - as long as he obeyed the rules and was honest, he would not tell anyone else about his actions.
Everyone finally sat down at the table, and Fang Yue slowly spoke: "I don't have anything to eat at the end of today, I want to leave here." β
"I'm going to leave too." Chi Xiaoxian picked up his words.
Lao Chen shook his head: "It's so dangerous outside, what should I do if I go out and be attacked?" Besides, where do you go to find food? β
"Chi Xiaoxian and I decided to go back to the dormitory, there is food in the dormitory. If I go back, I can save my share with him today, and if someone doesn't dare to go out, it doesn't matter, I'll find a way to send some food when I get to the dormitory. β
The others were silent for a moment. Finally, the security guard sighed: "It's also a way." β
"What about other people's decisions? Do you want to stay or go? Fang Yue asked again.
"I've been in the print shop for so many years, and this is my lair, so I'm not going to leave with you." Lao Chen said, "Besides, I still have three highs, and I can't run or fight." β
"That ......" Feng Bing's face was embarrassed, "I'm not in good health, I can't exercise too vigorously, can I stay here with Lao Chen?" β
"Absolutely." Fang Yue said, "It's your own choice. β
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zheng Yikai: "What about you?" β
Zheng Yikai was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he still kept his head buried and said in a low voice: "I also want to stay." β
"Then I'll send the two little classmates back to the dormitory, and it's safer to have one more person on the road." Uncle Security said briskly.
Lao Chen hesitated a little: "Are you successful?" Look at you're an old bone......"
"Why not, I'm always strong!" The security guard slapped his thigh, "With my physical strength, I chased the thief out of three miles last year." β
After deciding on the candidates for the escape team, Chi Xiaoxian was about to pack his things when he suddenly felt Fang Yue's gaze.
"What's wrong?"
Chi Xiaoxian asked suspiciously.
"I'm surprised that you decided to go out so decisively."
"Don't underestimate me......" Chi Xiaoxian pouted. He muttered, "I can be ruthless too." β
"I didn't underestimate you." Fang Yue retracted his gaze, "I just think that you are more willing to lie down than to fight and kill." β
"I'd be more happy to lie down, but-"
Chi Xiaoxian looked serious: "The bed here is too uncomfortable to sleep on, and the air conditioner is not cool, I still want to go back to the bedroom to sleep." β
Fang Yue: "......"
"Only when you turn on the temperature of the air conditioner very low when you sleep, and the whole person is wrapped in a soft quilt and only your head is exposed, then it is called comfortable!" Chi Xiaoxian showed a satisfied expression.
Abraham famously said, "I work to sleep." I slept and ate, and then I slept again, that's life! β
