14 Print Shop

A farce ended, and Chi Xiaoxian lay back on the bed and continued to play his game.

Gollum walked in the forest for a long time, a little hungry, licked his paws and asked Chi Xiaoxian an outrageous question: "Can I eat 'Gollum's son'?" It's a hamster yes. ”

Chi Xiaoxian: "...... Do you want to listen to what you just said. ”

"Is it because I named it 'Gollum's son' that I can't eat it?" Goo tilted his head, "Is it really my son?" ”

Although it's a game, the chat module is pretty realistically designed.

Chi Xiaoxian: "Obviously not, but it's your friend." ”

"Meow~~I understand~~"

A person, a cat and a mouse were walking in the forest, and Chi Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Wensheng's pet, with the illusion that he was still by his side.

Before I could get out of the forest, the sky was still drizzling, and all around me was an endless, hazy dark green.

The cat's paws stepped over the broken branches and leaves on the ground, and when it stopped in front of a thin stream of water on the ground, it lowered its head and licked it, feeling a cold and deep smell.

Was the old world really that pretty?

Chi Xiaoxian has never seen the old world, and since he was born, his family has been constantly moving, following the crowd to find a place free of pollution and extreme climate disasters.

Nor had he ever seen the forest with his own eyesβ€”the green elf that had covered the earth hundreds of years ago had long since become a thick cloud of dust on the ground, rising and falling as the construction of large construction equipment began.

Chi Xiaoxian thinks that the designer of this game is probably a person born in the old world, and it is so realistic-

Although he hadn't seen it, he took it for granted that the real forest probably felt like this. People are born with natural attributes, but this attribute gradually disappears as they become more and more involved in urban life.

His thoughts were interrupted by another knock on the door, this time politely and lightly.

Chi Xiaoxian and Fang Yue frowned almost at the same time.

They came to the door and looked outside, and the person who came was Chi Xiaoxian's classmate Yuan Chengmin, who was the door of the dormitory.

Fang Yue still asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm really sorry, I want to ask if you have anything to eat." Yuan Chengmin touched a bruise on the corner of his forehead, and said bitterly, "I was still a little, but I was robbed, I hope you haven't been robbed yet." ”

Fang Yue and Chi Xiaoxian looked at each other.

"Otherwise, give him some." Chi Xiaoxian blinked, "I know him, and he's not bad." ”

"I'm sorry, we don't have much food, so we can only give you some protein powder and vitamins."

"That's great! It's nice to have that. ”

"But please go downstairs and go back to your dorm first." Fang Yue said cautiously, "We'll leave the food outside the door later, and when the door is closed, you can come up and get it again." ”

"Yes, thank you."

Yuan Chengmin guessed that they might have experienced harassment from those people just now, so he retreated downstairs.

He waited a long time before he heard the door open and close upstairs, so he went upstairs to take the food.

Before taking it away, Yuan Chengmin put a bottle of Coke at the door, and then sent a message to Chi Xiaoxian: "I have this bottle of Coke left without being found by them, and I will give it to you as a thank you gift!" ”

Seeing Coke, Chi Xiaoxian felt a little better.

"Shall we break up?"

"I don't drink carbonated drinks."

Chi Xiaoxian was not polite to Fang Yue, pulled the pull ring, drank it all with great cherishment, and then burped with a dizzy soda flavor in satisfaction.

"When we came out, there were only two people left in the print shop." Fang Yue suddenly remembered something, "We have to find a way to get them something to eat." ”

"But we don't have much, so we can only give them some protein powder."

"Well, let's ask about the situation first."

Originally, there were a total of six people in the print shop, except for the three people who went back to the dormitory and the security uncle, only the boss and Feng Bing were left in the print shop.

Fang Yue called the boss, but the boss didn't answer, so he called Feng Bing again, but Feng Bing hung up all of a sudden.

Then he received a message from Feng Bing on Rome.

"I'm hiding in the storage room on the second floor now, I can't speak, there's a zombie outside the door, save me!!"

Fang Yue and Chi Xiaoxian were taken aback.

"How can there be zombies in a print shop?" Fang Yue hurriedly typed and asked.

"I don't know. My boss and I stayed in the print room and never went out, and the doors and windows were closed. ”

"I went to bed early yesterday after eating food, but I was awakened in the middle of the night by a noise. When I opened my eyes, the zombies had already walked up to my bed and were staring at me! I was so frightened that I immediately ran out and hid in the storage room! ”

"Well done, don't make a fuss. How's the boss? ”

"I don't know."

Feng Bing had just typed three words, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the storage room getting closer and closer.

Her pupils dilated suddenly, she didn't dare to move anymore while holding her phone, and she even held her breath subconsciously.

That voice has just gone downstairs, how can it come up again?!

Did you find something?!

She listened carefully to the sound of her pounding heart, and a chill ran through her limbsβ€”

It wasn't the sound of a man's footsteps.

The boss is also infected! She's going to face two zombies!

Although this incident was not too unexpected for her, the horror of reality still made her heart speed soar.

No one can save her at this time! It's just her!

While listening to the movement outside, she sent a message to Fang Yue.

"I'm going to rush out later, zombies can smell me."

"If I can get out, I'll go back to the dormitory, and I'll trouble you to open the door downstairs for me."

"If you can't go back, I have a small wolf-proof electric shocker in my room for you, and I live in 302."

Feng Bing regretted a little that he hadn't rushed back with Fang Yue and the others.

It turns out that in such an environment, adventure is the best protection, and hiding is only delaying the arrival of despair.

Chi Xiaoxian suddenly thought of something and asked Fang Yue: "When you rescued them before, didn't you throw that antique mobile phone outside to attract the attention of zombies?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"That antique machine has a super long standby time, so the two alarms you set earlier might still work. Do you remember what time the alarm clock was? ”

"Nine-thirty-ten and nine-thirty-two." Fang Yue's memory of numbers is very good.

"Tell her that when the alarm goes off at half past nine outside the street, the zombies in the house will be distracted, and she can escape through the back door of the print shop." Chi Xiaoxian said eagerly.

Fang Yue sent a message to Feng Bing at the same time.

He found that Chi Xiaoxian just seemed to be unlearned, but his mind was very flexible, and he could always think of some unexpected ways out of the framework of thinking inertia.

As soon as half past nine arrived, Feng Bing really heard the alarm clock ringing outside the street.

The bell jingled clearly, and she remembered that she had heard it last night, but she didn't pay much attention.

The zombies outside paused for a few seconds as they approached her, and then headed in the direction of the right front.

Directly to her right was the bedroom where she had slept, and outside the bedroom was the street where the alarm clock was located. Everything was just as Chi Xiaoxian expected.

Until the footsteps were getting farther and farther away from the storage room, she gently pushed the door open.

There were no creatures in the hallway, only a slight movement of footsteps in the bedroom on the right.

She was glad she didn't wear shoes, and her socks walked silently on the ground. She quickly passed by the room on the right, and at a glance she saw the zombies inside.

One of the zombies was so responsive that he turned his head almost instantaneously. Feng Bing's reaction was faster than that, she closed the bedroom door and ran downstairs without delay.

The lock on the back door was rusty, and it took her a long time to unscrew it. The moment I pushed the door open, a sweat on my forehead dripped down as if I finally had courage.

Outside is a weed pile, and not far from the high wall of the school. In the cold white moonlight, she caught a glimpse of a white mass in the grass beside her, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be a mass of gauze, with blood stains on it, which had turned black.

An ominous feeling crept through her heart, and she subconsciously tightened her throat.

At this moment, a warm current spread from the soles of her feet. She looked down and saw that her feet, which were only wearing socks, had been cut by sharp objects at some point, and the soles of her white socks had been stained red.

……

Chi Xiaoxian and Fang Yue waited for a long time, but they still couldn't wait for Feng Bing's news.

Both of them understood that they probably couldn't wait.

The slowest walk from the print shop to the dormitory was fifteen minutes, and now forty minutes have passed.

Chi Xiaoxian looked out the window, outside the window was the vast night, and in those corners where the moonlight could not shine, I don't know how many things were buried.

"Why did Feng Bing say that he suddenly saw a zombie in the room?" Chi Xiaoxian frowned, and he remembered the content of the communication just now, "Could it be that you broke in by force?" But the roller shutter door is very sturdy. ”

"If it's a break-in, it should make a huge movement, Feng Bing didn't notice it at all."

Chi Xiaoxian was even more puzzled: "It can't be a zombie that appears out of thin air!" Isn't that magic? ”

These words reminded Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was also thinking about this problem, he had been thinking about how the zombies would quietly attack the printing shop, but Chi Xiaoxian's words gave him other inspiration.

Feng Bing was shocked by the zombie that suddenly appeared at her bedside, and she said that she didn't know about the boss's situation. Fang Yue analyzed, "So this zombie can't be the boss." Exclude the case where the boss is infected. ”

"Second, the second floor is more than six meters high from the ground, and there are no zombies that can climb the rock yet, and Feng Bing has not heard the sound of glass breaking, it can only come up by taking the stairs on the first floor."

"But it doesn't make sense to appear out of thin air on the first floor?"

"Out of thin air is not quite the right word." Fang Yue said, "Is there a possibility that there has been a zombie hidden in the print shop, but for some reason we didn't find it." ”

Chi Xiaoxian was a little creepy.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Where can they hide? ”

Fang Yue thought for a while and said cautiously: "Maybe the printing shop also has a similar basement. The streets of the school are symmetrical, and across the street from the print shop is a bookstore that closed two years ago, and when I went there as a freshman, I saw the owner of the bookstore leaving some stock books in the basement. ”

As soon as he said this, Chi Xiaoxian also remembered. When he first entered the school, he didn't catch up with the collective ordering of textbooks, so he asked his boss to buy materials from previous years, and the boss moved a ladder to the bottom to find it for him.

Fang Yue remembered one more thing.

"If this zombie is really hiding in the basement or somewhere else, as I deduced, the boss must be aware of it. I have a good memory of numbers, and the food was not consumed according to my plan at that time, and Zheng Yikai also said that he only ate part of it secretly, so it is very likely that the boss took it himself, and I can't be wrong. ”

Zheng Yikai ate secretly, ate openly, and according to his character, it is unlikely that he will hide a part.

"You mean that part of the food was taken by the boss to feed the zombies?" Chi Xiaoxian felt incredible.

"There's one more argument to support it." Fang Yue took the apocalyptic guide on the table, "Li Tong may have asked the boss to print one copy of this book, but the boss knew that there was an infected person in his store, so he made another copy and kept it privately." ”

"That's right! Assuming that he hid zombies, then the book may also be used by him to resist the bite of zombies, so a large amount of saliva containing viruses was left on the book, and Li Tong, who was scratched on his hand, was infected. ”

The clues all colluded at once.

"Possibly." Fang Yue muttered, "But these inferences do sound a bit incredible. ”

"But how did he meet that zombie? Why would he hide a zombie at home? Isn't that a fire? Chi Xiaoxian asked like a cannonball.

Fang Yue shook his head.

They still know too little, but he suddenly remembered that when he was working on the first floor of the print shop in the middle of the night, the boss kept going downstairs to the toilet and urging him to go to bed quickly. Could this be some kind of weakness of mind?

Just as he was thinking, someone suddenly rumbled the door open.

Knocking on the door in the middle of the night is more malicious than a certain one during the day.

Fang Yue and Chi Xiaoxian glanced at each other tacitly, and they both guessed who was outside the door.
