19 Convenience stores
Tonight is definitely a lucky night, and there are only scattered zombies along the way. If it is a clustered type, it will definitely not be able to reach an unmanned convenience store so smoothly.
The convenience store is on the ground floor and has two doors to enter. One door is facing the outside, which is a glass automatic sensor door, which was designed to prevent theft and widened the thickness, probably because of this to withstand the impact of zombies; The other door is in the stairwell of the school building, which is usually locked and not opened much.
Yuan Chengmin immediately called his friend and asked the two to open the door to pick them up.
The call was connected in almost seconds.
"We're here." Yuan Chengmin lowered his voice.
"The glass door can't be opened when the power is off, you go to the one in the building. Can you find it? There is a corner on the first floor up the stairs......"
Chi Xiaoxian and Yuan Chengmin were both first-time students in the graduate school's teaching building, but Fang Yue had been here several times, and he had noticed the narrow iron door in the stairwell.
He turned on his phone's flashlight and lit up a space in the lobby on the first floor.
To their surprise, there were only sporadic blood stains on the floor of the hall, and the sculpture in the center that said "The Future Belongs to the Heights" was still standing upright, and the carved flowers on it bloomed with a cold white glow under the flashlight light.
Chi Xiaoxian guessed that there may be a lot fewer graduate students than undergraduates, so the infection here has not been able to break out on a large scale.
They managed to find the small door and knocked lightly twice.
With a creak, the door was cautiously opened, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
"My name is Zhang Yun, and I am a second-year graduate student in the School of Economics."
"Wang Hengzhi, a graduate student at the School of Law."
Both of them are friends made by Yuan Chengmin in the chess and card club.
It is said that it is a chess and card club, but in fact, it is a club built to facilitate the usual playing of cards and finding a card partner. Li Tong once felt that they were too unprofessional, and once wanted to cancel this club, but the popularity of the club was too strong, so he had to give up.
Several people introduced themselves to each other, and Zhang Yun and Wang Hengzhi took them on a tour of unmanned convenience stores.
The convenience store is divided into two parts: the front of the store and the back of the store.
In front of the store is the usual retail place, and students can scan the code to pay directly after taking the goods. Due to the limited space in the store, the convenience store is divided into two floors, and both floors are full of shelves in order to store more goods.
Behind the store is a warehouse with boxes of food and daily consumables, and the delivery man usually comes to replenish the supply on time.
Because they felt that there was only a glass door in front of the store and they had no sense of security, Zhang Yun and Wang Hengzhi generally slept in the warehouse, which was hot and stuffy in the summer, and they were always suddenly woken up by the heat at night, and they woke up sweating through their clothes.
As soon as Chi Xiaoxian entered the warehouse, he smelled the sour sweat that came out, and subconsciously held his breath. He glanced at Fang Yue and found that the other party's face was not very good.
Fang Yue usually loves to be clean, the dormitory is cleaned up spotlessly by him, the floor tiles are shiny, and he even has a mite removal instrument, which sucks the bed once every morning and evening, which makes Chi Xiaoxian breathtaking.
After walking around, Chi Xiaoxian suddenly found a question: "Isn't there a bathroom here?" β
Zhang Yun and Wang Hengzhi glanced at each other, revealing embarrassed expressions.
"So how do you solve ......?"
"Uh-" Zhang Yun was a little embarrassed, "bagged and threw it out." β
"There's a window on the second floor." Wang Hengzhi added.
It's just so indecent.
Chi Xiaoxian subconsciously glanced at Fang Yue again. I saw that his thin lips were pursed, his brows were tightly locked, and his expression was even more solemn than when he was surrounded by zombies. Chi Xiaoxian wanted to laugh in his heart.
Yuan Chengmin sighed and said, "Let's live, at least I have enough food, and I won't die of hunger." β
"By the way, did you bring any vitamin tablets?"
Fang Yue rummaged through the bag and found them.
"It's great, my mouth is full of ulcers right now, and I can't eat any more!" Zhang Yun and Wang Hengzhi were ecstatic.
They immediately unscrewed the mineral water and took two tablets of multivitamins. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the moment I took the pill, the ulcer in my mouth didn't hurt so much.
Chi Xiaoxian put away the vial of vitamins, and Zhang Yun suddenly said to him: "I'll just say why is your name so familiar!" I know you! β
Chi Xiaoxian was stunned.
"I'm a teaching assistant in macroeconomics, and I always urge you if you forget to hand in your homework, don't you remember? You also said that you would invite me to dinner after class, but I haven't waited until now. β
ββ¦β¦ Yes! Chi Xiaoxian showed an embarrassed expression, and faintly had a little impression.
His relationship with the teaching assistants in each course is very delicate. After all, he was often stuck in DDL time to hand in his homework, sent the wrong email (sent the homework of this class to the teaching assistant of that class), and was asked to adjust the format of the paper, so that others could sign in on his behalf and be caught......
It's a lot of crimes.
Chi Xiaoxian was sincerely reflecting on his sins, and suddenly Fang Yueyun said lightly: "You also promised to invite the teaching assistant to dinner?" β
Chi Xiaoxian was stunned.
Fang Yue glanced at him: "I finally found a passing reason for your paper, and I didn't see what you said." β
"That's for sure, I'll invite you to dinner too!" Chi Xiaoxian hugged his arm, "Wherever you want to eat, pick ...... whatever you want."
"Tease you." Fang Yue said lightly, "You better pay off the debts you owe to others first." β
Chi Xiaoxian: "......" is his delusion, this person seems to have become bad.
A few people chatted casually, Zhang Yun and Wang Hengzhi were very curious about Chi Xiaoxian's escape experience, listening to Chi Xiaoxian talk from the dormitory to the printing shop, and then from the printing shop back to the dormitory, and finally came to the convenience store after twists and turns.
Zhang Yun said to Wang Hengzhi with emotion: "Fortunately, we chose to hide here at that time, if we went back to the dormitory to toss, it is estimated that our lives may not be there now." β
"Yes, we're lucky, we haven't taken a shower for seven or eight days, and I feel like I'm going to go rancid." Wang Hengzhi looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, "When can I take a bath!" I'm going to be pickled and fermented! β
Yuan Chengmin: "Damn! Stop! I finally wanted to ignore the taste! You've brought it up to me again! When I first came in, I was almost fainted by you. β
"What can we do ......?"
"That's right." Zhang Yun changed the topic, "You said before that zombies appeared out of thin air in the print shop, what's going on?" β
Chi Xiaoxian explained, and then said Fang Yue's conjecture that the zombies might be hiding in the basement.
"The print shop does have a basement!" Zhang Yun patted his head, "When I entered the school as a freshman, the store was there, but it wasn't the current boss, and there were still two computers and a printer in the basement at that time, which could be used to print." A year later, the owner changed, and the basement didn't seem to be used anymore. β
Fang Yue: "Do you know the current boss?" β
"You said Lao Chen?" Zhang Yun almost didn't think much about it, "Of course I know, I knew him when he came to school." He said that the original owner of the store was a distant relative of his, who was sick, so he transferred the store to him. β
"What did he do before?"
"I talked to him, and he said he was in the army, and the rest is not clear." Zhang Yun suddenly remembered something, "Oh yes, he also has a son, he always talks to me about his son's good grades, smart brain, etc., anyway, it's just a compliment." β
"Where is his son now?"
"He didn't say it, he probably hasn't gotten married yet, and he must have talked more about it when he got married, such as daughters-in-law, grandchildren, etc., and the elderly don't like to talk about these." Zhang Yun thought for a while, "I feel that he is quite lonely, living alone in the school, and his family is not around, so he always loves to talk about his son, probably hoping that he can come to visit him." β
The crowd was silent for a moment.
"Eh, blame me for taking the topic deeper!" Zhang Yun slapped his mouth, then got up and took a few bottles of Sprite and distributed them to the others, "I am very happy that you can come, Lao Wang and I are very happy, we have long been tired of seeing each other." Now five people, playing cards is finally more than enough! Gotta celebrate, come on, come onβ"
A few people toasted, and the atmosphere livened up.
Yuan Chengmin was also overjoyed: "Is there a card here?" I've had itchy hands for days! β
"Not in this convenience store." Zhang Yun's tone was regretful.
"Hey, but guess what?" He changed his words again, "I wanted to go to the cafeteria to play cards after class that day, and I just had two cards in my bag!" Surprised?!"
Yuan Chengmin was overjoyed.
Chi Xiaoxian doesn't play cards much, but he is also infected by their joyful atmosphere. Yuan Chengmin was still packing tickets on the side, saying that he would definitely be able to teach him.
Fang Yue looked at this group of happy people and was silent.
Chi Xiaoxian turned his head and asked him, "Will you?" β
Fang Yue: "I haven't fought. β
Chi Xiaoxiao smiled: "Also, you are a volume king, how can you have time to study card skills." β
Fang Yue raised his eyebrows: "Then why wouldn't you?" β
ββ¦β¦ Salted fish is also a specialization in the art industry, right? β
"Don't mess around with phrases."
In the first round, Chi Xiaoxian watched them fight the landlord on the side, and in the second round, in order to make him learn better, Yuan Chengmin gave up the landlord's position for him to try.
Chi Xiaoxian clumsily drew the cards and carefully opened them. He was too novice to hold a single card, and he almost spilled it all over the table.
He rarely played this kind of confrontational game, and was about to ask Yuan Chengmin for help, but found that he was gone, and when he turned his head, only Fang Yue was behind him.
Fang Yue was reading a book and was poked by him coldly.
"You just understood." Chi Xiaoxian leaned back slightly and leaned to his side, "Can you help me look at the cards?" β
"I was just reading a book." Fang Yue raised a senior textbook in Yang's hand.
"Scholars can be dual-minded."
Fang Yue looked at him for a while, and said faintly: "You are getting bolder and bolder when you trouble me now." β
Chi Xiaoxian pursed his lips, retracted his seat, and started the battle alone.
His hand was very average, with only two small bombs, and after a few rounds of consecutive moves by the two peasants opposite, he felt like he had to blow it up first. He was about to throw the four threes out when he heard the person behind him clear his throat.
Chi Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and changed to four fives and was about to throw them out, but the person behind him coughed lightly again.
Now Chi Xiaoxian understood, and said boldly: "I don't want it, you-"
Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice came: "Someone will take care of the cards again." β
Chi Xiaoxian shook his hand and almost spilled the cards again.
A slender, bony hand reached over, pointed out a few cards on his card, and then flicked it lightly, and Chi Xiaoxian realized that he had missed a straight.
After Shunzi finished walking, he forced out the biggest bomb of the two peasants opposite, and Chi Xiaoxian quickly finished the cards under Fang Yue's vague guidance.
When Yuan Chengmin came back from shopping on the second floor, he was surprised: "Not bad! The first local owner won! β
Chi Xiaoxian said "hehe". The heart said that this was all Fang Yue's credit.
He found that Fang Yue's characteristic was that he had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, but he was actually a very good person, but he wrapped himself in an indifferent shell.
The time of playing cards always passed quickly, and the night was fast into the night, and in order to save the power of the flashlight, they decided to go back to the warehouse to sleep.
The warehouse is not too big, but it is just right to sleep five people, not too crowded.
Zhang Yun and Wang Hengzhi had been sleeping on a simple sleeping mat made of cardboard before, but later felt that it was too hot in the warehouse, so they slept directly on the floor tiles.
Before going to bed, Fang Yue found a bottle of hand sanitizer in the store, wiped the one-third of the acre he slept on with tissue paper, and then lay down with his backpack.
Chi Xiaoxian wiped the place where he slept after him, and then lay down next to Fang Yue.
In the dark warehouse, Fang Yue only saw a bright light in the other party's eyes.
The light flickered slightly.
After a long time, Fang Yue finally couldn't help but say, "...... Don't you sleep? β
Chi Xiaoxian whispered: "It feels so strange." β
"Huh?"
"There was no flipping and typing, it was too quiet." Chi Xiaoxian sighed, "If you don't roll at night, I'm not used to it." β
ββ¦β¦β
"And it's so close to you like this, I haven't slept with anyone face to face......"
Fang Yue was speechless for a long time, deciding not to face this guy face-to-face, so he turned over.
After a while, he felt a slight itch on the back of his head, as if someone was gently ruffling his hair.
This action reminded him of a white kitten he used to have in the Sixth District, and he liked to sleep on top of his head in the middle of the night, using the place on his pillow as his own nest, and occasionally raising his paw to gently pluck his hair, or sticking his tongue with small barbs to his head.
It's just that he was taken away by his brother later, and the man was released directly after not raising it for two years, and now he doesn't know where he is.
"You're pretty good." Chi Xiaoxian muttered.
Fang Yue grabbed the hand that was causing trouble to his hair, and said in a low voice, "Fun? β
Chi Xiaoxian was quiet for a while before he said, "I just think it's a little magical." I actually went from the print shop to the dormitory with you, and from the dormitory to here, if it weren't for this zombie, we wouldn't have been able to fight each other. β
Fang Yue raised his eyebrows: "Not necessarily." β
"It's hard for you not to remember you if you forget your usual homework and write the thinnest final paper."
