Looking back at Tang Xiaoquan with a frown, Hu Xiaodong looked very cautious. He did not answer in a hurry, but kept sucking on the cigarette in Yun's hand.
The little bits of firelight appear and disappear under the burning tobacco, just like Hu Xiaodong's thoughts at this moment, ups and downs, fluctuating.
Gradually, the pair of bright eyes on his face gradually became blurred, as if he had returned to that thrilling morning again.
"That day~, I went to the store early in the morning as usual. Maybe it was because of the weekend. It didn't take long for several waves of customers to come, and the two of them were one of them."
"Logically speaking, I seldom care about the appearance or personality of the guests who come and go, but Hu Zi that day left a deep impression on me."
"This little guy is not only cute, but also very polite. Since he entered the store, he has been calling "Uncle" and "Auntie" non-stop. He doesn't have the coquettishness of a child at all. .”
"Also, if I remember correctly, it seems that it was his birthday that day, and the reason why his mother brought him to the store was to fulfill his birthday wish."
"You may not have thought that a child this young actually knows about Jordan, so having a basketball of his own has always been his wish!"
Tang Xiaoquan always paid attention to the changes in Hu Xiaodong's cheeks. He could feel from the warm smile that appeared naturally that this man loved Hu Zi from the bottom of his heart.
Hu Xiaodong is still continuing his self-narration: "I introduced several popular styles to Huzi's mother at that time, but what no one expected was that a young man who was picking products from the shelves suddenly became manic. He raised his head and shouted loudly, and then he went crazy and knocked down several shelves beside him!"
"To be honest, everyone present was dumbfounded at the time. My first thought was whether this man had a history of epilepsy or something like that. But before I could think about it, this young man turned around. Xing ran straight towards Hu Zi’s mother.”
"I don't know how to describe the situation to you. That young man...he~" Hu Xiaodong grinned and bared his teeth.
Tang Xiaoquan immediately responded with understanding: "He wants to bite the tiger's cub, right?"
"That's right!" Hu Xiaodong clapped his hands and affirmed: "That guy had this plan. He rushed towards Huzi's mother in a daze at that time, but I couldn't get out in time because I was inside the counter. To lend a helping hand, so..."
Angrily, Hu Xiaodong punched his fist in the air. Hu Xiaodong was obviously very angry with his performance at that time.
"So Huzi didn't dodge quickly and was caught by that guy. I originally thought that she would not escape the fate of being bitten, but I never thought that Huzi..."
At the sudden mention of the tone, Hu Xiaodong's big round eyes suddenly opened.
"Huzi actually bit the young man's arm hard! Good guy, this bite made the guy scream in pain, and Huzi even dodged a bit."
"As for what happened next, a few guests and I quickly subdued the young man, but..."
Raising his palm to make a pause gesture, Tang Xiaoquan's sword eyebrows gradually rose up.
"Brother Hu, you just said that Huzi bit the young man in order to save his mother, right?"
Wuzi nodded, Hu Xiaodong looked at the other party with a suspicious face, but then he took a breath of cold air as if he had realized something: "You mean... the bite from the tiger?"
Wuzi nodded, and Tang Xiaoquan said lightly: "Yes, according to the mutation examples of Huang Yaru and Acheng's father, it should be certain that the zombie virus is transmitted through body fluids. And through a series of abnormal behaviors of the young man in the store , we can also basically conclude that he was infected with the zombie virus before entering the store, so the bite from the tiger just provided a good way for the virus to spread."
Tang Xiaoquan's explanation was straightforward and easy to understand, and as he finished speaking, the reason for Huzi's corpse transformation was completely revealed.
The right hand holding the cigarette remained motionless, and Hu Xiaodong slowly closed his eyes.
If I had reacted faster, if I could have discovered the strangeness of the young man earlier, maybe all of this...
How I wish I could turn back time, but the passing time is like water thrown out, and there is no possibility of taking it back.
so……
His heart was as heavy as a huge stone. Hu Xiaodong never imagined that he was the indirect culprit of Huzi's transformation.
The scorching sun outside the window was hot and vicious, but it still couldn't warm Hu Xiaodong's increasingly cold heart.
Looking at Hu Xiaodong who was standing still, Tang Xiaoquan didn't know how to persuade him.
The two men stood side by side, the slowly burning cigarettes in their hands silently telling everything.
In the following days, the survivors fell into a boring and boring life.
Eating, sleeping, and bragging have become their daily routine.
In the end, they were so idle that they had no choice but to DIY two sets of poker cards using the shells of Zhonghua cigarettes in the storage room, which brought some sparkle to their regular lives.
On this day, Hu, Wang, Wu, and Wen sat in a circle as usual, with strips of white paper stained with saliva placed next to them.
These belts are mainly used to punish losers. In addition, they also stipulate that the final loser must be responsible for the cleaning of everyone's clothes.
Therefore, driven by such "tempting" measures, everyone worked extremely hard to fight against the landlords.
"910JQK, does anyone want it?" Wang Qiang shouted vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth.
Seeing his deck of cards fall, Wu Chao's palm-sized plastic face immediately revealed a sinister smile: "Hey, it exploded, four sixes!"
"NM, why don't you be so cruel!" Wang Qiang spat twice, and he couldn't help but secretly scold himself for backing up!
"It seems that Qiangzi, you can't escape the fate of doing our laundry today!" He winked at Wu Chao without leaving any trace, Wenquan Xin did not forget to give Wang Qiang another blow.
"MD, don't talk nonsense, it's not certain who will win and who will lose!"
Just a word from you and a word from me, fighting back and forth, everyone seems to have forgotten that they are in the end of the world.
Time passed slowly during this game of cards, and everyone's faces, which were originally as smooth as a mirror, were now covered with notes.
Today should be another ordinary day, Tang Xiaoquan couldn't help but think to himself.
But just when he thought everything would be normal again, a sudden sound of brakes suddenly came from not far away, and then he heard a loud bang exploding on the street outside the window behind him.
