The structure of the Huayuan community is no different from that of ordinary communities. They adopt a layout with front and rear doors, and Zhang Ning's location should be regarded as the main entrance of the community.
After avoiding the secondary infected bodies wandering around the community, Zhang Ning went to the No. 1 building where Tu Zhiying lived without much effort. He looked at the dark corridor entrance and the sun hanging above his head. , Zhang Ning tightened the kitchen knife in her hand, tiptoed, and carefully stepped into the building.
The city's power supply has been cut off for a long time. In addition, the lighting in the corridor of the community where Zhang Ning's aunt lives is not very good. Without the blessing of artificial light sources, it is almost impossible to see the fingers in the corridor.
For Zhang Ning, who is as timid as a mouse, this is simply the most terrifying experience in the world.
But there is no other way at the moment, and we have to hurry up, so we have to bite the bullet and rush up.
"God bless me, I hope there isn't anything weird in this building..."
After blinking her scarlet peach blossom eyes, Zhang Ning muttered something and started to climb the stairs.
It's okay when you're on the first and second floors, because there's light from the entrance and the reflection from the white walls inside the building. Even if it's dark in the corridor, you can barely see the steps under your feet.
But as the floors gradually rose, this light quickly dimmed. By the time Zhang Ning reached the fourth floor, the light in the corridor had disappeared, and the only light source was the faint light coming from the fire doors on each floor. Light.
In the dark environment, Zhang Ning's eyes were completely useless, but strangely, his speed was obviously much faster than when he first entered the corridor.
It's as if the body is specially adapted to this dark environment. Even if you can't see the road ahead clearly, you can still feel the height of the steps under your feet.
After noticing something strange on his body, Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment. After repeatedly sensing it, he confirmed another special thing about himself. He simply closed his eyes and moved forward quickly relying on his body's senses.
"Hey, there seems to be something in front of you..."
When he reached the fifth floor, Zhang Ning clearly felt that something was blocking the way forward, and he opened his eyes in confusion.
The light source that should have shined through the fire door was blocked by a dark object, vaguely outlining the shape of a figure with a strange posture in the darkness.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!!"
Zhang Ning, who was already very nervous, was so frightened that he backed away when he saw the scene in front of him. He even screamed in surprise. He was obviously very frightened.
The screams echoed in the corridor, adding another layer of color to the already terrifying atmosphere.
However, the strange figure in the darkness seemed to be a dead thing, because under Zhang Ning's loud voice, there was no movement at all, and it was still blocking the intersection quietly, not even making any unnecessary noise.
"You are a fucking human or a ghost!"
Zhang Ning, who kept retreating, leaned his back against the wall and finally managed to breathe out the turbid air in his lungs. Seeing that the black shadow in front of him did not move, he boldly asked.
"People are ghosts... ghosts... ghosts..."
Except for Zhang Ning's question, which was trembling with fear, there was no other movement in the corridor.
"I should have known I would have brought a flashlight..."
Licking his lips regretfully, Zhang Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet and lean forward. Although the black figure in front of him looked weird, it must be a dead thing. Otherwise, his screams and questions just now would have attracted the attention of the other party. reaction.
He stretched out his right hand tremblingly, as if testing something hot. The moment his fingers touched the black shadow, Zhang Ning retracted his arm like lightning and stepped back, as if he had touched something terrible. .
"My old swan, it's soft, it's soft! This damn guy can't be a human being
Bar……"
It's no wonder that Zhang Ning was so fussy. The human figure in front of him, the dark environment, and the skin-like touch on his hands. Together, these several factors would make even the most courageous person's heart tremble.
The situation was so deadlocked. For a moment, Zhang Ning could only lean against the wall, staring at the figure in front of him and gasping for air.
"Who is there?"
At this moment, a clear question like a nightingale sounded from the darkness, saving Zhang Ning from the terrifying atmosphere.
"Me me me!"
As if a drowning man had grasped the last straw, Zhang Ning shouted quickly, his heart so anxious that he didn't even understand the direction from which the sound came.
"Humanity?"
The clear voice of inquiry sounded again, and the content contained only two words, but it invisibly added a lot of security to Zhang Ning's heart.
Although the inquiry was brief, this time because Zhang Ning listened carefully, he roughly located the source of the sound. It seemed to be coming from behind the strange figure in the dark, and it was not far away from him.
"Ah, yes, yes, serious human beings..."
He responded quickly, but before the words could be heard, Zhang Ning suddenly stopped speaking and froze on the spot.
How could the owner of this voice directly ask him if he was human? Could it be that those zombies wandering the streets could still talk?
The clear voice like a nightingale also disappeared at this moment, and the corridor returned to silence, as if the conversation just now was Zhang Ning's fantasy and never happened in reality.
"Damn...there's something weird here..."
Zhang Ning's mind was spinning rapidly, and he slowly squatted down in the darkness and quietly retreated downstairs.
He was really a little scared now.
During the previous climb up the stairs, the surroundings were dark at best, making it difficult to see. Although he was scared, Zhang Ning knew in his heart that there were no signs of biological activity around him.
This is what he felt.
Somewhat similar to an animal's sixth sense.
But it was different now. After encountering this strange figure in the darkness, the previous feeling of no one disappeared. Zhang Ning could clearly detect that a creature was slowly approaching him.
And this unknown creature carries the idea of killing him!
"Wait, your voice...are you Ning Ning?"
A clear voice sounded from the darkness again, and a beam of white light suddenly exploded in the dark corridor, directly illuminating the entire corridor.
"do not!!"
"Mutated zombies!!"
Two exclamations sounded at the same time, Zhang Ning felt dizzy for a moment, and the next second, a sharp spear appeared on his chest.
This is a simple spear made from a clothes drying rack. The aluminum alloy at one end was repeatedly beaten and beaten, and finally a sharp spear point was formed. About half a foot behind the spear head, a horizontal wooden bar was tied with a rope. , apparently to prevent the spearhead from piercing too much and making it difficult to pull out.
The incident happened so suddenly, and Zhang Ning's eyes were stimulated by the bright light, and he completely lost his initiative. He had no choice but to turn his body sideways to get out of the way of the aluminum alloy spear that was thrust straight at him.
"Stab it!"
The top that he had just put on was easily torn open by the sharp metal. The sharp tip of the spear rubbed against the dark scales on Zhang Ning's chest, leaving a shallow white mark.
No anti-theft
Zhang Ning, who had barely managed to avoid the attack, had not yet stabilized his figure. He vaguely seemed to see another swift and violent attack coming towards his throat. He quickly stepped back and shouted at the same time.
"I'm a human! I'm a human, don't get hurt by accident!"
But the attacker didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. He stabbed Zhang Ning several times in succession, forcing Zhang Ning from the platform to the stairs. A sweeping sweep caused Zhang Ning to shift his center of gravity and roll down the stairs.
Before the disgraced Zhang Ning could get up from the ground, the light above him flickered wildly, followed by the sound of footsteps pursuing him, and an aluminum alloy clothes hanger gun that shot towards him quickly.
The sneak attacker in the darkness saw that Zhang Ning had rolled down the stairs, and showed no intention of letting him go. He pursued him closely, as if he was planning to add insult to injury.
"Tu Zhiying!"
Just when the tip of the spear was about to hit, Zhang Ning, who was holding his head to avoid it, suddenly burst out with a loud shout.
After hearing this shout, the attacker's movements obviously stagnated, but due to the speed of rushing up and down the stairs, the castration of the hanger gun could not be stopped at all.
"Ding!"
There was a sound of metal hitting the wall near Zhang Ning's left ear. The tip of the hanger gun pierced the wall, bending and deforming under the action of inertia.
The white light in front of him was still dazzling, but the sneak attacker stopped. The silhouette seemed to be that of a woman, holding a scrapped hanger gun in one hand and looking blankly at Zhang Ning sitting on the ground.
"Ning...Ning Ning?"
"Oops, take the flashlight away, your eyes are almost blinded..."
Covering his eyes with his palms, Zhang Ning no longer had any fear at this time. He leaned against the wall limply and said in a relaxed tone.
In fact, the moment the flashlight light came on, Zhang Ning knew the identity of the person in front of him.
The sniper holding a hanger gun was none other than the person he needed to rescue this time, his mother's biological sister - Tu Zhiying.
"It's really Ning Ning! Why are you here? Hey, what's wrong with your eyes, and what are these things on your neck..."
The flashlight light shifted to the side, and after a moment's pause, Zhang Ning could clearly see the appearance of the person in front of him.
This is a woman wearing loose short-sleeves on her upper body and a pair of baggy sweatpants on her lower body. Probably due to the season, the woman's clothing is relatively thin, but there is a thick circle of tape wrapped around her neck and belly, and she is holding a gun. The palm of his hand was also tied with a piece of red cloth and the gunshot, apparently to prevent the weapon from falling off.
"Auntie, you are not young yet. You need to see clearly before pricking. Fortunately, your nephew is very skilled. Otherwise, you would have given away the white-haired person to the black-haired person..."
Although the pain caused by rolling down the stairs was everywhere on his body, Zhang Ning kept talking wildly at the woman in front of him.
"You are so talkative... You must have run away. Why are you here? Where are your parents?"
Although she had already admitted Zhang Ning's identity, Tu Zhiying's eyes kept wandering around Zhang Ning's body. The flashlight shone on her head for a while and then on her chest. If it weren't for her right hand and the hanger gun tied together, , I won't be able to untie it for a while, and I will probably open Zhang Ning's clothes on the spot and check what's going on inside.
"I'm here to pick you up. Apart from my parents, I am the only one who loves you the most. Hurry up and pack your things. My mom is still waiting for us at the intersection of Huancheng West Road..."
"when!"
The light in the corridor flickered wildly, and Zhang Ning felt a dull pain on his forehead. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect her, and at the same time stopped mumbling.
"No matter how big or small! I'm your aunt!"
"It hurts..."
"Deserve it!"
"Then let's go, my dear little aunt."
"Come up with me first, I want to take some things with me..."
