"Holy crap! Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Ning was startled by the sudden closing of the door. He moved back and cast his eyes on Ma Long behind him.
"It's most likely a survivor, let me do it."
Ma Long saw clearly from behind that before Zhang Ning's hand touched the door, the door closed by itself.
Then, it is very likely that the survivors will be the ones who close the door!
"Hello, I am from the Chinese Air Rescue Team. My name is Ma Long. Please don't be afraid. We are here to rescue you."
After announcing his door, Ma Long took a step back and waited quietly with his gun in his hand.
But there was no reply from the door, and the door remained closed, as if there was no one in the room.
"Hello, I am……"
Ma Long was confused, thinking that the head of the household might not have heard clearly, so he repeated his address.
But a minute later, the door still didn't open and was still firmly closed.
"What's going on? Could it be that zombies closed the door?"
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was standing at the back, stretched his neck and guessed.
"I'll come, I'll come."
Zhang Ning saw that there was no response when Ma Long called the door twice, so he pushed him away and stood in front of the door.
Zhang Ning was seen stepping down from his horse's stance, his energy sinking in his Dantian, his right arm raised high, and he hammered three times at the door.
At the same time, he shouted loudly with a voice like a broken gong.
"Come on, open the door quickly! We are sending warm greetings from our community!"
After roaring, he hit the hammer three times again...
"Ah this..."
The three people behind Zhang Ning all felt a tightness in their chests and stood there blankly.
Miraculously, Zhang Ning's simple and crude method of calling the door actually worked!
There was a muffled sound from inside the door, like the sound of someone falling to the ground due to fright.
When Zhang Ning heard that there was indeed someone inside the door, he hammered the door harder and shouted loudly while hammering back.
"If you don't open the door, we'll fire! Second Battalion Commander, where's your damn Italian cannon? Pull it over here!"
After speaking, he waved his hand in a pretentious manner, as if there was really a second battalion commander behind him who would conjure Italian cannons out of thin air.
The three people behind him covered their foreheads one after another, unable to bear to look directly.
"Return the cannon and pull you down. I won't fire. Come in if you can."
A weak voice came from the door. It sounded like he had been hungry for a long time and had no strength, but he still refused to open the door.
"Hey, you're such a cunning person, if I don't let you experience my power today, you won't know..."
Before Zhang Ning finished speaking, he was grabbed by Zhang Jike and pulled behind him.
"I haven't finished speaking yet..." Zhang Ning was pulled behind him and did not resist. He just muttered.
Resisting the urge to give Zhang Ning a chance, Zhang Jike stepped forward, stood in front of the door, and said to the door.
"Hello people, I am Zhang Jike from the Huaxia Air Rescue Team. We are here to rescue under orders. Please don't be afraid."
"I don't believe it! You must be lunatics, the kind of lunatics who bite everyone they see!"
A weak voice came from inside the door, and it sounded like he didn't believe what Zhang Jike said at all.
Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this, not knowing how to identify themselves.
"Unless, unless you ask the one with red eyes to back off and retreat to the corridor, I will open the door!"
The people inside the door saw the four people outside the door being silent for a while, and the suspicion in their hearts was slightly shaken.
Probably because he recognized the military uniforms on Zhang Jike and Ma Long, he suddenly softened his tone and put forward a condition for opening the door.
"Okay, Zhang Ning, please retreat to the corridor first..."
"Okay Master!"
Such an inexplicable sentence suddenly popped out of Zhang Ning's mouth, and at the same time, he quickly retreated to the corridor.
"Well, this kid's thinking ability is really strong..."
Seeing Zhang Ning's troublesome movements, Ma Long couldn't help but vomit in his heart.
When the people inside the door saw that Zhang Ning had retreated to the corridor as he said, they no longer hesitated and carefully opened the door a crack.
Ma Long and Zhang Jike remained where they were, with kind smiles on their faces and no further action.
"Oh, that's great, it's really you, sir!"
When the people inside the door saw that there were indeed two soldiers with guns standing at the door, their vigilance suddenly relaxed for the most part, and they even pushed the door half open.
"Hey, let me tell you, we are here to save you."
Zhang Ning, who was leaning in the corridor, saw the other party opening the door. He immediately became interested and shouted at the top of his lungs. At the same time, he stepped forward as if he was about to come over.
"Ah! Monster! Don't come here!"
As soon as the resident of 1103 poked half of his head out of the door, he noticed Zhang Ning in the corridor. He quickly retracted his head and shouted loudly at the same time.
"We are here to save you, why are you so rude..."
Zhang Ning stopped moving forward and frowned in dissatisfaction.
"I don't want you to save me, you are a monster! Comrade, come in quickly, he is a monster!"
As he said that, an arm stretched out from the crack in the door, pulling Zhang Jike who was nearest to him and trying to pull him through the door.
"Uncle, don't be afraid. He is one of ours. He is not a monster. He just looks a little weird."
Zhang Jike, who was standing at the door, immediately explained. At this time, he had already seen clearly the appearance of the head of the household. He was an old man in his sixties, with a sallow face and thin muscles, and seemed to be in a very bad condition.
"Although my disciple is ugly in appearance, his heart is first-class kind. He is a good person!"
Probably because he was so happy to finally see the survivor, Ma Long couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Xiao Ma! Be serious when performing tasks!" Zhang Jike turned around and glared at Ma Long.
"Are you really not a monster?"
Seeing the sincere look on Zhang Jike's face, the old man couldn't help but poke his head out of the crack of the door again and looked at Zhang Ning.
"It's really not true, uncle..."
Zhang Ning spread his hands innocently and continued.
"And...am I ugly, then I should leave?"
After saying that, he showed a helpless smile.
"Hey, wait a minute, young man. I'm too old to see clearly. Please let me take a closer look."
When the old man saw Zhang Ning's innocent look, which really didn't look like those biting lunatics, he explained. At the same time, he leaned out and narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, young man, what's wrong with your eyes, and the one on your neck..."
"Don't mention it, uncle, pink eye and psoriasis, don't they look scary..."
Zhang Ning shrugged, not intending to explain anything to the old man, and made up a reason casually.
Anyway, as long as the uncle can believe that he is not a zombie.
"You told me earlier, I misunderstood, I'm sorry, young man."
The uncle in Room 1103 finally saw Zhang Ning's face clearly. Although this young man still looked very scary, he looked like a eloquent man, and he definitely couldn't be the kind of lunatic who could bite people.
"Uncle, is there anyone else in your family? Call them all, we have food there."
Seeing that the atmosphere was finally calm, Zhang Jike relaxed his tense nerves and pulled the uncle to ask.
"Comrade, I am the only one in my family. My wife passed away a few years ago. My son and daughter are all busy working overseas, and there is no one else at home."
The emotional Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a sore nose when he heard the uncle's words. It turned out that the resident of 1103 was an old man living alone.
"Also, Comrade Jike, my surname is Ni and my name is Ni Zhengou. You can just call me Uncle Ni."
After saying that, the old man smiled kindly, patted Zhang Jike's hand, and looked at everyone expectantly.
"Uh, Uncle Gou... ah no, Uncle Ni... my name is Zhang Ning, you can just call me Xiao Zhang."
Zhang Ning suppressed the urge to think a little bit and introduced himself very obediently.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was about to cry, froze unconsciously after hearing the uncle's name. He felt that his original emotions were suddenly washed away, and the muscles on his face kept twitching.
"Uh... Ni, Uncle Ni, my name is Xu Xiaoxiao, you can just call me Xiao Xu..."
"The baby girl is very strong! It's great!"
At this time, Uncle Ni had already walked out of the door and slowly came to Xu Xiaoxiao, looking up and down at the sturdy girl.
"Um...thank you, uncle..."
Xu Xiaoxiao's face was completely dark, but there was nothing he could do. He was an elder. If the elders said you were strong, then be strong. It would be better to be stronger...
After a brief exchange, everyone decided that Xu Xiaoxiao would take Uncle Ni upstairs to get some food, while the other three continued to explore downwards.
The floors above the 11th floor have been inspected, and there are no zombies wandering outside, so the safety of Xu Xiaoxiao and Uncle Ni can be completely guaranteed.
"Come on, uncle, let's go up to the 29th floor and I'll make you some beef noodles."
After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he was about to go upstairs first, but found that he was being held back by Uncle Ni.
"I said, girl, we can take the elevator, why should we take the stairs?"
Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and felt that what the uncle said made sense, so he walked out of the fire escape and pressed the elevator button.
Just when the elevator was about to arrive, the floors that kept jumping on the display screen disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Eh?" Seeing that there was no response on the display screen, Xu Xiaoxiao stretched out his finger and poked it a few more times.
"Hey, this is a power outage. What should we do?" Uncle Ni was the first to react and patted his thigh.
"It's okay, sir. Fortunately, we didn't enter the elevator. I'll carry you upstairs."
Xu Xiaoxiao also reacted and knew that this was the result of the unmaintained power plant finally being paralyzed after the disaster.
The power supply that we were accustomed to was finally interrupted.
"Don't stop, I'm not so old, let you look like a female baby back, I will go by myself, you will slowly."
Uncle Ni saw that Xu Xiaoxiao had crouched down and was trying to carry him on his back. He quickly waved his hand and walked towards the fire escape first.
Xu Xiaoxiao saw that Uncle Ni was so persistent, so he stopped talking and followed the uncle slowly up the stairs obediently.
But Uncle Ni had obviously been hungry for a long time, and his body had no strength. In addition, due to his age, he was out of breath after climbing two floors, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Uncle, let me carry you. You see I'm so strong, it's no problem."
Xu Xiaoxiao supported Uncle Ni and said.
"This... well, okay, I'm useless, sir. I'll forgive you for your hard work."
Xu Xiaoxiao squatted half-crouched, carried Uncle Ni on his back, and started walking upstairs.
Uncle Ni, who was still a little worried that Xu Xiaoxiao would not be able to carry him, saw that Xu Xiaoxiao was walking so lightly, and he let go of his anxiety a little bit. He just kept asking Xu Xiaoxiao if he needed to stop and rest.
But how can Xu Xiaoxiao's physical fitness after being strengthened by the virus be viewed from an ordinary perspective? Even a young man like Zhang Ning can easily pick him up, let alone a skinny old man in his sixties.
I saw Xu Xiaoxiao carrying Uncle Ni on his back, and went up to the top floor in one breath, without looking tired at all...
