In the dim bedroom, an old laptop was buzzing, and the weak light emitted by the screen added a few rays of light to the dark night.
Tang Xiaoquan and Wang Qiang sat quietly around the computer table. The instant noodles that had just been soaked on the table were exuding an alluring aroma, which made the two young men who were already hungry feel like tigers, wolves and jackals. Start sucking the noodles in the bowl with big mouthfuls.
"Holy shit, it feels so damn good!" Wang Qiang wiped his lips with excitement and praised secretly. This was the first time he realized that instant noodles could be so delicious. You know, just a few days ago, he was still complaining to God, vowing that when he made enough money in the future, he would never touch this damn thing again.
But who would have thought that only a few days had passed before his heroic words were broken.
This may be the original intention of human beings. When the end of the world really comes, you can enjoy it even with an ordinary bowl of instant noodles.
Tang Xiaoquan nodded with a smile. He also felt the same way about Wang Qiang's admiration.
Thinking back to the apocalyptic game characters he had controlled in the past, and looking back at himself who was now in one, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Tang Xiaoquan's fair face.
You know, how long ago he longed for the day when the end of the world could really come to the world, and then he could truly experience the thrill of survival and the excitement of killing. However, when all these "dreams come true" , but he...
"Go to NMD damn apocalypse!!"
"Gululu~ah~" After pouring the last handful of soup from the porcelain bowl into his mouth, Wang Qiang smacked his lower lip with some unfulfilled thoughts.
It’s no wonder that he was so reluctant to give up. After all, for a young man like him who is just in his early 20s and in the period of development, a small pack of instant noodles is obviously not enough to meet his normal physiological needs. , especially after the nightmare catastrophe he will experience.
However, Wang Qiang did not complain too much about this, because as Tang Xiaoquan said before, their supplies are extremely scarce at the moment, and after four days, they may have to face the danger of going out to find food.
Rather than going out to fight for his life against the zombies who have lost their humanity, Wang Qiang prefers to stay in the house and save food. After all, maybe the little food he saves can support the arrival of the rescue team.
"Quan Zi! You stayed up all night last night. Go to bed and stare for a while. I'm here to keep an eye on you." Putting down the porcelain bowl in his hand, which was as clean as a mirror, Wang Qiang patted Tang Xiaoquan who had worked hard all day.
Yes, Tang Xiaoquan was indeed sleepy at the moment, and every neck bone in his body was sore as if someone had punched him violently. Therefore, he was not too pretentious at the moment, even if he agreed to Wang Qiang's Good intentions, but...
He stretched out his hand to move the mouse and glanced at the clock bar under the notebook. Tang Xiaoquan solemnly arranged: "It is 7:15 now. Call me at 12 o'clock and I will come..."
"Oh, it's still time to give it a damn, you just have a good rest, Quan Zi, I'll keep vigil tonight!" Tang Xiaoquan was interrupted. Wang Qiang was very aware of his brother's current state. Last night, he not only did everything for himself, but He hadn't slept all night and had consumed a lot of energy and energy this morning, so he couldn't be tired any more tonight.
How could Tang Xiaoquan not know what Wang Qiang was thinking? If this matter had been left alone, he would never have been polite to him. But right now...
Survival Rule No. 5: When you are in danger, your midnight shift must be properly arranged and cannot be done by one person.
Because the lonely midnight makes people sleepy the most, and in this doomsday world, even if the night watchman takes a nap, it may kill everyone.
Although Tang and Wang often stayed up late watching movies and playing games on weekdays, they were all done in peacetime and could not be compared with the current situation.
And more importantly, you may never know when the catastrophe will end, so if you want to live a long life, you must make long-term preparations. And good sleep is undoubtedly an important part of your survival.
"Qiangzi! Listen, my brother understands your good intentions, but the current situation cannot be ended by you and me in a day or two. We have to make reasonable arrangements. Listen to me, brother, you will stay up until midnight. I will be on duty in the middle of the night and ensure that each person gets 5 hours of sleep. This will not affect your energy tomorrow and prevent you from feeling sleepy during the night watch."
Staring sincerely into Wang Qiang's eyes, Tang Xiaoquan waited quietly. He knew very well that unless he, his friend who had been with him for decades, accepted the proposal from the bottom of his heart, it would be difficult to convince him with external force due to his stubborn temperament.
After pondering for about half a minute, Wang Qiang touched a cigarette in the cigarette bag on the table, lit it silently and took a puff, and then slowly sighed and replied: "Well, in that case, I'll do as you say. Let’s do it.”
Seeing the other party nodding, Tang Xiaoquan's anxious heart dropped. He immediately said without hesitation, "Thank you for your hard work," then rolled over onto the bed and fell asleep.
The silent midnight was bleak and terrifying. In order not to affect Tang Xiaoquan's rest, Wang Qiang even closed the dimly lit notebook screen, which made the already dark bedroom even more eerie. .
There is no doubt that staying vigil in such an environment is a kind of torture. Not to mention that you have to overcome the difficulties that the night itself brings to you. The scorching heat of this July summer alone will make you unbearably tortured.
There was no air conditioning, no fan, and the tightly sealed windows could not even let in a breath of air. Wang Qiang felt as if he was in a sauna, and sweat could not stop flowing out of the pores all over his body. .
He vigorously waved the paper fan in his hand. Although the frequency had reached an almost crazy level, it did not bring a moment of coolness to the hot Wang Qiang.
However, compared to the physical torture that the hot air and temperature brought to Tang Qiang, the miserable howls coming from the street outside the house from time to time were undoubtedly even more unbearable for him.
Even though he had been baptized for a whole day, even though he had heard similar cries for help countless times in the past 24 hours, it still frightened Wang Qiang.
Time passed slowly minute by minute in such torture, and as time passed, the dark night became darker and darker.
Wang Qiang tried hard not to let himself fall asleep. His upper and lower eyelids were fighting, indicating that he had reached the limit of resistance. He subconsciously touched the mobile phone on the table. On the small screen, four small numbers were clearly visible. The words 24:00 are displayed.
Then, just as he was about to wake up the sleeping Tang Xiaoquan to take over the shift, a shrill female howl suddenly exploded in the night sky!
