"Give me a hand, aunt..."
With a long sound in his throat, Zhang Ning was like a child who had not grown up, sitting on the ground and playing rogue.
Tu Zhiying, who had just walked a few steps, turned around when she heard this. Instead of leaning down and reaching out to pull Zhang Ning up, she poked Zhang Ning's chest with the deformed spear head.
"Looking at how skinny you are, why do you need me to pull you up? Hurry up, don't waste time, or I'll spank you soon..."
Since the coat hanger gun is made of aluminum alloy, and it was pierced into the wall before, the sharp tip of the gun has already broken off. Even if it is poked on the skin, it will only cause a little pain if the force is not strong, and it will not hurt. .
In the previous battle, the attentive Tu Zhiying had already discovered that her poor-tongued nephew had something strange about him. Not only was the skin around his neck covered with strange scales, but his chest also seemed to be covered in hard shells. This made the previous The attack failed to materialize.
"You know how to bully me, where are the elders you promised..."
Seeing that Tu Zhiying had no intention of helping him up, Zhang Ning sniffed, climbed up from the ground, and patted the dust on his clothes as if nothing had happened.
"I'll beat you if you push me further!"
"..."
Following Tu Zhiying, Zhang Ning looked around the corridor again. As the flashlight beam continued to move upward, the strange figure in the darkness gradually revealed its true appearance.
It was a male corpse tied up by many ropes and strips of cloth. It was hanging in the corridor in a weird posture. If Zhang Ning hadn't been used to seeing corpses before and was mentally prepared in advance, he might have been frightened on the spot. of screams.
However, now there is only a big question mark left in Zhang Ningde's head.
"This...did you kill it?"
After looking at the hanger gun in the hand of the woman in front of him, Zhang Ning looked up at the body hanging in the center of the passage and asked.
"That's right..."
Without any intention of explaining, Tu Zhiying crouched down, slipped through the gap next to the male corpse, and walked toward the sixth floor.
Seeing his aunt sneaking past the corpse as if nothing had happened, Zhang Ning did not hesitate. He immediately lowered his focus and prepared to follow Tu Zhiying's example and slip through the gap.
Although Zhang Ning's figure is not tall, there is still a clear gap compared with Tu Zhiying's petite figure.
The gap that Tu Zhiying could just squeeze through was a bit crowded for Zhang Ning. When passing through, Zhang Ning's shoulder inevitably touched the corpse next to him, causing the corpse to shake in the air.
During the process of rocking back and forth, the exposed skin of the corpse just touched Zhang Ning's body. The temperature and touch from it made Zhang Ning, who had just calmed down, feel hairy again.
"Holy swan! Why, why is it still warm? Is this person still alive?"
The male corpse swayed back and forth in the air, like a child hanging on a swing, laughing at Zhang Ning's timidity.
"Come up first and I'll explain to you while I'm packing."
Compared with Zhang Ning's fuss, Tu Zhiying seemed to be used to all this. She didn't even turn her head. She just asked Zhang Ning to follow him quickly, while she opened the fire door and walked towards her home.
Seeing that Tu Zhiying had no intention of explaining, Zhang Ning became more confused. He wanted to ask more questions, but Tu Zhiying had already left the corridor. The beam of the flashlight disappeared instantly, and the dispelled darkness enveloped him again, and the feeling of fear came again.
"Hey, wait for me..."
After climbing three steps at a time, Zhang Ning rushed to the fire door that was about to close, squeaking like a monkey, followed Tu Zhiying's footsteps and left the corridor.
at the fire door
The moment it was closed, the body of the man hanging in the middle of the corridor suddenly trembled.
In the dark corridor, a pair of purple pupils dimly lit up, like flickering ghostly fire between graves, erratic...
Bright natural light came into view again. After a short period of adaptation, Zhang Ning followed Tu Zhiying into her home.
As soon as the door of this room opened, Zhang Ning, who had not yet recovered from the suspicion of the corpse just now, was confused again, because what he saw was not the aunt's house that he was familiar with, but it was related to the secret base of the serial killer in the thriller movie. Extremely high degree of similarity.
On the ground, on the sofa, on the coffee table, and even on the dining table, there are various remains of severed limbs placed everywhere. Those with flesh and blood are carefully wrapped in plastic wrap, while the bones and teeth without flesh and blood are They are scattered everywhere randomly.
"My old swan..."
At this time, Zhang Ning felt that he lacked vocabulary and could not express his current mood accurately in words.
"It's a bit messy and I don't have time to sort it out, so don't take it personally..."
Tu Zhiying smiled sheepishly after untying the cloth strip wrapped around her palm and taking off the hanger gun.
Although her relationship with Zhang Ning is more like that of sister and brother than aunt and nephew, in terms of seniority, she is still Zhang Ning's aunt. It will be somewhat embarrassing for a junior to see the mess in her home. .
"This is not a fucking mess anymore, okay? Let me tell you, aunt, when did you become a perverted murderer and change your job? Why didn't you inform your family about such a big thing..."
This is already the nth time Zhang Ning has used foul language today. There is no way, life is so exciting, and shocking things happen one after another. It has become a luxury to hope to stay calm.
However, he was surprised. Zhang Ning still believed from the bottom of his heart that his aunt could not really turn into a bloodthirsty murderer. There must be a reason behind so many scattered remains and severed limbs.
"It's just some teeth and bones, and some broken hands. That's normal. The anatomy room in our school is much more spectacular than this..."
"Sister, this is a private house, can it be compared with your anatomy room..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear it up in your mouth!"
"..."
"Close the door first. I'll pack up the documents and leave in fifteen minutes."
Tu Zhiying simply tied her shoulder-length hair back, and began to pack up the documents in the room. Only then did Zhang Ning notice that under the remains of short limbs scattered everywhere, there were still a large number of papers. There are graphics and text, and they seem to record a lot of things densely.
"Auntie, it's the end of the world. What are you doing with these study materials? Are you planning to get a postdoctoral degree on the way to escape?"
Seeing Tu Zhiying busy, Zhang Ning, who had just had his mouth free for a moment, immediately started typing again, as if stopping for even half a second was disrespectful to his chatty nature.
"What kind of learning materials? This is the disease information I have collected in the past few days. Maybe it will be helpful to this epidemic when we get to the Siming Mountain Shelter..."
"Epidemic? There's nothing wrong with saying that. It's just that the scale of this epidemic is a bit too great. Even the most basic order has collapsed. It's probably going to be difficult to survive..."
Pushing aside the thigh that was in front of him, Zhang Ning sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and said in a long voice.
"Do you know something..."
Hearing the tone of her nephew's words, Tu Zhiying asked directly without turning her head.
You must know that when Zhang Ning was young, Tu Zhiying also took care of Zhang Ning for a period of time, probably to repay Zhang's mother for taking care of him, so her understanding of Zhang Ning was second only to his mother.
Now this guy is dragging
Chang Yin was acting strangely at the side, and Tu Zhiying knew without thinking that he must have some knowledge of this disaster, so he deliberately snarled in front of her.
Sure enough, as Tu Zhiying expected, after hearing her question, Zhang Ning immediately couldn't restrain the urgency in his heart and told everything he knew.
"This disaster is man-made, not a natural outbreak, so it should not be called an epidemic, but a catastrophe."
"Is it man-made...by putting the virus into tap water, causing widespread spread?"
As smart as Tu Zhiying, Zhang Ning just said a word, and this woman already guessed the truth.
"Yes, and this disaster was premeditated. It is said that it was carefully planned for a long time..."
"Increased oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin, directional variation of physical signs, high transmissibility, virus symbiosis... If you put it this way, these phenomena can all be reasonably explained..."
Flipping through the documents in her hand, Tu Zhiying took out a few of them, crumpled them into a ball and threw them into the trash can.
"Where did you get this information?"
"military."
"Military? Did you meet the rescuers?"
"Well, this is a long story, but the general situation is this."
"So we will meet people from the army soon? Will they also go to the Siming Mountain shelter with us? In this case, I can consider bringing the research equipment with me. The army should have large trucks to transport it..."
As she spoke, Tu Zhiying's eyes drifted to the direction of the study. It was even messier than the living room, with more wreckage and fragments scattered around, as well as several very bulky-looking experimental instruments.
"Wait, wait a minute, no one from the military is with us, only our family, no one to help you carry these equipment..."
Seeing Tu Zhiying walking towards the study, seemingly planning to carry away the large and heavy research equipment, Zhang Ning quickly spoke to dissuade her.
"That's it, okay, I can only bring some light information..."
With a reluctant response, Tu Zhiying turned back and continued to collect the information that was pressed under the stump.
"Where did these severed limbs come from..."
Seeing Tu Zhiying playing with the flesh and blood stumps like toys, Zhang Ning felt horrified. No wonder his aunt has never been able to get married. A wife who is obsessed with studying corpses. I wonder what man can bear such a set up?
"I picked it up. After the disaster broke out, patients infected with the virus became violent to varying degrees. One of the most obvious features was chasing and biting healthy humans. I think it was probably the virus in the body seeking Shinjuku. Caused by the Lord.”
"And these severed limbs are what I picked up from the corpses that were left behind..."
"Aren't you afraid of being infected by the virus?"
Zhang Ning looked at his aunt as if she were a monster, where is the promised medical doctor? What about being careful as promised? Why did he do something more reckless than a primary school student...
Don't worry, my bold actions were naturally verified after careful verification. If this virus really has the ability to spread in the air, then on the first day of the disaster, I should have turned into a walking zombie without intelligence...
"Then maybe you're lucky and haven't been exposed to the virus..."
Zhang Ning thought for a moment and argued.
"No matter how lucky I am, I can't be this good. The air is circulated and the entire community is in a virus outbreak environment. Without professional isolation devices, there is no way I could have survived."
"So the conclusion is obvious. Either the virus cannot be transmitted through the air, or I have been immune to the virus and have produced corresponding antibodies..."
