A night of silence.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, it was already dark, and there was no traffic on the road. The whole world seemed to have fallen into absolute silence. Except for the zombies wandering on the road in twos and threes, there was no living creature.
After sharing the last hard-boiled egg with Xiao Ran, and eating some rice and pork respectively, Lu Yu began to equip himself.
Lu Yu used transparent tape and a sweater to wrap all the exposed parts of his body. He wrapped a winter wool scarf tightly around his neck, and finally put on a helmet and swimming goggles.
Xiao Ran's mother's pink helmet had been thrown downstairs by Lu Yu before. This helmet at this time was a safety helmet he took out from the storage cabinet, which is a safety helmet commonly used on construction sites.
This helmet was given to him by the contractor when he first went to a construction site for internship.
As for the swimming goggles, he bought them a long time ago. When he took them out, the elastic bands were already worn out, so Lu Yu had no choice but to tie them up with a rope and put them on his face.
This can effectively prevent yourself from having zombie body fluids splash into your eyes when you are in close contact with zombies.
As if he thought it was not enough, Lu Yu took out three more masks and covered his mouth tightly.
Xiao Ran didn't need so many strict protective measures because she didn't need to fight zombies, so Lu Yu put a thicker coat on her.
Looking at the little Loli's long hair, Lu Yu felt that something was wrong, so he took his swimming cap and wrapped the little Loli's hair in it.
After wrapping all his clothes, Lu Yu took out the vinegar in the kitchen and poured it all on himself and Xiao Ran.
According to the information obtained by Lu Yu from his previous testing of large-backed zombies, zombies rely on hearing and smell to locate prey, so using vinegar to cover the 'human smell' on their bodies should be able to play a certain role.
After completing all the protective work, Lu Yu took out his mountaineering bag and filled it with iron wire, hydraulic pliers and other items.
If you encounter a locked door, your hydraulic pliers will come in handy.
The destination of this trip is a large supermarket located two streets away, about 1 kilometer away in a straight line.
Studying the map in his hand, he printed it from the Internet when Xiao Ran was unconscious two days ago. It was not long after the disaster broke out and the Internet was still open. Lu Yu took advantage of that opportunity to download many maps and survival information. , in case you need it later.
"I decided to take this main road. Although it is a bit far, the view is wide and relatively safe." Lu Yu pointed to the route marked with a red marker on the map and said to Xiao Ran.
In addition to making arrows last night, Lu Yu also studied the route to the supermarket.
Before the disaster broke out, Lu Yu would definitely have chosen to go through the alley between the two communities, but now this shortcut choice has become extremely dangerous.
If there were no zombies blocking the road, then everything would be easy, but as long as there were zombies blocking the entrance of the alley, the situation of Lu Yu and Xiao Ran would become very dangerous.
Therefore, Lu Yu would rather walk a little longer and go around the road instead of joking with his own life.
"Let's go!" Lu Yu, who was ready, tried to swing the baseball bat in his hand, and found that the movement was not greatly hindered, so he opened the door and walked out with Xiao Ran.
Since there was a possibility of power outage at any time, Lu Yu did not dare to sit in the elevator, so he could only take Xiao Ran downstairs step by step from the fire escape.
The fire doors on most floors are usually closed, so Lu Yu, who walked downstairs lightly, did not encounter any zombie attacks. However, when he went down to the 22nd floor, the strange sight that appeared in front of him stopped him in his tracks. .
Just on the landing of the fire escape lay a cat corpse, surrounded by some scattered human bones and minced meat.
The cat corpse was as big as a leopard. Judging from the color of its fur, it was the big orange cat that had dragged away the body of Xiao Ran's mother.
"It looks like your mother's body was eaten by it." Lu Yu turned his head and pointed out this fact without any emotional intelligence.
However, Xiao Ran seemed to be used to Lu Yu's way of talking, and there was no big mood swing.
"But this cat's head seems to have been smashed..." Lu Yu carefully looked at the headless cat corpse on the ground and found that there was a shallow pit on the cement floor below the cat corpse's missing head.
"I remember that there used to be a big leech growing on this cat's back, but it's gone." Lu Yu thought in his mind, then cautiously stepped forward and poked the cat corpse on the ground with the baseball bat in his hand.
However, the cat corpse naturally showed no reaction. After being poked by Lu Yu, a large piece of its body suddenly dented. It seemed that the flesh and blood under the fur had begun to rot.
"I'll go over and take a look first. You wait behind. If something goes wrong, you'll go home right away. Do you understand?" Lu Yu said a few words to Xiao Ran. When Xiao Ran nodded, he tiptoed closer to Wu. Head cat corpse.
Xiao Ran was motionless on the stairs, with the modified crossbow in his hand already raised, and his beautiful heterochromatic eyes staring at the cat corpse on the ground.
After Lu Yu got close to the cat's body, he poked the cat's stomach a few times with the stick in his hand. When he saw that there was still no reaction, just when he was about to put his heart back into his stomach, something happened suddenly!
I saw the orange cat's belly split into a big hole instantly, and a yellowish-brown thing popped out and shot towards Lu Yu's face!
But at this time, Lu Yu was fully on guard. When he saw this, he immediately subconsciously wanted to use a baseball bat to push him away. Unexpectedly, due to fright and excitement, this ordinary blocking action turned into a backhand strike, which happened to hit the yellow man. The brown stuff hit the wall hard.
"Snapped!"
The unknown yellow-brown object was stuck on the wall like a pile of mud.
Only then did Lu Yu see clearly that the thing he was beating was the big leech that originally grew on the orange cat's back. However, now the leech had been beaten to pieces by the baseball bat. Its vitality was completely cut off and turned into a piece of paper stuck on the wall. mural on.
"You still want to attack me..." Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Xiao Ran to shoot an arrow into the belly of the cat corpse. After seeing that there was nothing else hidden in it, he pushed the cat corpse into the corner with a baseball bat. After clearing the passage, he ignored it.
The journey to the 22nd floor was uneventful, because most of the residents in the building had turned into zombies and were locked up in their own homes without being able to come out. A few survivors like Su Daqiang did not dare to leave until they understood the situation. He went out easily, so Lu Yu didn't meet a zombie on the way downstairs.
But he also carefully closed the fire escape doors on each floor. This could effectively ensure that foreign creatures like orange cats would not appear in his escape route.
Finally reaching the bottom of the building, Lu Yu quietly stretched his head out of the fire escape door and looked around vigilantly.
The community was quiet, with no trace of zombies. Only the big-backed zombie that fell from upstairs two days ago was lying there. But at this time, the big-backed zombie was already a pile of rotten flesh and could not pose any threat to Lu Yu.
Seeing that the surrounding environment was indeed safe, Lu Yu slowly walked out of the door, his movements cautious, as if if there was any disturbance, he would crawl back into the door like a groundhog and never come out again.
Xiao Ran, on the other hand, was sticking closely behind Lu Yu, with nervousness written all over his face.
Seeing this, Lu Yu subconsciously used his body to block the gap between Xiao Ran and the big-backed zombie, thus preventing Xiao Ran from directly seeing the mess of flesh.
The two of them sneaked to the gate of the community like thieves. Just as they were about to leave the community, Lu Yu caught a glimpse of a figure swinging back and forth in the security booth nearby.
"Is it possible that there are survivors?" Lu Yu was doubtful, but he kept walking. He signaled Xiao Ran to stay where he was and waited for him, and he walked to the pavilion with his waist low.
There was a man in a security uniform standing in the pavilion. His back was to Lu Yu, his body was shaking erratically, as if he was concentrating on the picture on the monitor.
"Hello?" Lu Yu greeted in a low voice and knocked on the glass window of the security booth.
However, the next scene frightened him so much that he almost sat down on the ground and hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.
The 'person' in the security booth turned around when he heard Lu Yu's greeting. Just like the cliché plot in all movies, he had been infected and his face was quite scary.
This "security guard" does not have a face covered with black blood vessels like the big-backed zombie. His face was cut open with a sharp weapon from the center of his eyebrows to his chin. His face was divided into two halves, and his eyes were covered on both sides. There was a layer of white mist, and the tongue seemed to have been forcefully pulled by someone, making it look thin and long.
The security zombie turned around and failed to find the source of the sound. Instead, he hit the glass window of the security booth, obviously unable to understand what made the sound.
Lu Yu cautiously stretched out his hand and tried to wave it in front of the zombie's eyes. However, the security zombie seemed not to see it, turned his head back to the surveillance screen, and continued to stare at the screen.
"It seems that this zombie has no eyesight." Lu Yu thought to himself, and carefully stayed in front of the security booth gate.
The door of this security booth only has a door handle. The security guard probably won't lock the door when he is on duty, so he simply installed an unlocked door.
Of course, this does not trouble Lu Yu.
Taking out the tools he carried with him, Lu Yu tied the door handle to the railing on the side with iron wire. In this way, unless the security zombies hit the handle in a targeted manner, they would not be able to easily walk out of the security booth. of.
"Phew, done!" Lu Yu breathed a heavy sigh of relief. It's not that the work of tying the wires was tiring, but it was just that he had to be careful to avoid making any sound, which was very exhausting.
The zombie in the pavilion heard the movement outside, opened and closed its big mouth split in two, and made an indistinct gurgling sound in its throat. It seemed that it was trying to figure out the direction of the prey, but without any surprise, it hit the window again. , leaving a shallow mark on the glass.
After waving to Xiao Ran behind him, Lu Yu got out of the gate and walked out of the community with cat-like steps.
The streets were chaotic, with cars in groups, bumping into each other. In some of them, zombies could be seen pulling down the windows, as if they were trying to get out of the cars.
All the shops on the street have been closed, and the windows of some shops that have not been closed have been broken, and the doors are open, looking like they have been destroyed by a tornado.
Since most of the communities around Lu Yu's home are newly opened properties, the occupancy rate is not very high. With fewer people, there will naturally be fewer zombies after the disaster breaks out. At this time, there were only a few zombies wandering aimlessly on the empty streets.
Lu Yu was naturally happy when he saw such a scene, but he did not dare to be careless. He kept looking at the surrounding environment and moved forward quietly, with the baseball bat in his hand lying in front of him, as if he was ready to go.
Xiao Ran followed closely behind Lu Yu and frowned when he saw the desolate apocalyptic scene in front of him.
Just as Lu Yu was about to cross the road to the opposite block, he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled by someone. Lu Yu quickly turned around and found Xiao Ran staring into the distance, a look of fear almost filling her beautiful eyes. Overflow!
