At night, Lin Junfu took on the job of night watchman.
To be honest, he was also very hard. He was very nervous after driving for a day. The team members also understood this, but Lao Lin still refused everyone's request to be on duty.
Because in his opinion, he is the leader of this trip, and he has the responsibility and obligation to do a good job of guarding.
Especially now, they have just arrived in such a new place, and everything here is unknown to the team.
Therefore, in order to allow the team members to have a relatively stable and solid sleep in such a strange environment, and to make up for the physical exertion caused by the fatigue of traveling and nervousness, Lao Lin naturally took on the heavy responsibility of the "first round" vigil.
However, keeping a vigil is easy to say, but it is quite a test of willpower to do.
Especially around 12 midnight. At that time, the metabolic system in the human body begins to work slowly, and the autonomic nerve cells continue to send signals to the tired body to relax and rest.
Lao Lin was in such an extremely torturous stage at the moment. He had worked hard all day, and now he had to stay up all night and couldn't fall asleep. The feeling of being so sleepy and unable to sleep was really uncomfortable. He just felt up and down. His eyelids kept fighting.
After yawning more than a dozen times, Lin Junfu reluctantly picked up the cigarette box on the table and took out one.
This was the first time he had done this tonight, but no matter what, he always restrained his craving for cigarettes and did not light the cigarette he took out.
Why? The main reason is that the temperature has dropped sharply now. With the arrival of winter, the temperature difference between day and night is often around 10 degrees. Therefore, in order to keep warm, the windows and doors of the rooms where survivors stay are all closed.
Smoking in such a closed environment is undoubtedly a very bad behavior.
Therefore, in order to create a good resting and sleeping environment for the brothers, Lao Lin tried his best to control his smoking addiction.
He was like an addict. In the dark midnight, he would put the cigarette under his nose and slide it back and forth from time to time, as if this could soothe his restless heart.
It's just that this method can't quench the thirst of the nearer, and without cigarettes to refresh himself, it is really difficult for Lin Junfu to survive the first half of the night vigil work by relying on willpower alone.
However, Lao Lin also has another trump card to fight against sleepiness, which is a habit he developed in the past when he was on duty at high speeds.
Lifting the survival pot next to him again, Lin Junfu poured the boiling water that had just boiled into the portable lunch box. Suddenly, a refreshing aroma of tea came over the place, which immediately made him energetic.
"Caracara!" Suddenly, while Lao Lin was enjoying the intoxicating fragrance of tea brought by Tieguanyin, a faint sound came from outside the house.
Lao Lin raised his ears alertly and looked around. He saw Wang Qiang and three others lying on the ground, all wrapped in sleeping bags and snoring loudly. This confirmed that the sound did not come from inside the house.
Since it's not coming from inside the house...
Gently putting the survival pot in his hand back to its original place, Lao Lin just stood up and heard the "click" sound again, and it was clearer than last time.
This time, Lao Lin could very clearly determine the source of the sound. It was the broken can dregs that he had previously closed the door and scattered outside the door as an early warning.
There is no doubt that the can skins scattered on the ground cannot make noise by themselves for no reason, unless it is...
Thinking of the only possibility, Lao Lin instinctively wanted to wake up his companion who was enjoying himself.
But who would have thought that before he could take action, Wang Qiang suddenly shouted as if he had taken the wrong medicine: "Help! Help! Don't...don't come here!"
Hearing this, Lao Lin's hair immediately stood up, and he immediately stood up with excitement, and then quickly jumped in front of Wang Qiang without any hesitation, and regardless of the situation, he stretched out his hand to cover the opponent's noisy bird. mouth, and at the same time raised his foot to kick Hu Xiaodong and Tang Xiaoquan who were beside Wang Qiang.
"I..." Wang Qiang, who woke up from his dream, was confused and wanted to get angry, but his lips were firmly held down by Lao Lin.
After his torture, the survivors woke up almost instantly.
"Shh!" Qu Zhi made a silent gesture, and Lao Lin pointed at the door.
In an instant, four people and eight eyes all moved towards the door where the sound of "clicking" was constantly coming from.
Zombies! This is something that no longer requires confirmation! Because only this kind of beast would be so bored that he would wander around in front of someone's house in the middle of the night.
Hu Xiaodong, who was closest to the door, slowly stood up. He gently opened the upper baffle of the cat's eye, and then slowly pressed his eyes up.
The darkness outside the door was so deep that except for a dense mass of black, it was impossible to identify any other objects, let alone ascertain the number of zombies.
After shaking his head at the three people who were paying close attention behind him, Hu Xiaodong withdrew and retreated.
"I'll go, why are there zombies? Didn't we wipe out the zombies!" As soon as Hu Xiaodong came back, Wang Qiang opened up a hundred thousand reasons.
Tang Xiaoquan simply pointed to the top twice: "Coming from upstairs, we only cleaned the first floor before."
"MD, no matter what, let's go out and kill them!"
Thinking of the two zombies he killed in the afternoon, Wang Qiang's nervous heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
After saying this, Wang Qiang touched the steel knife that Hu Xiaodong placed on the ground, stood up and walked out.
Seeing what he was doing, Lao Lin quickly stretched out his hand to stop Wang Qiang who was moving.
"Don't be impulsive! Qiangzi! The situation outside is unknown now, so you can't go out rashly!"
I have to say that Lao Lin's worries are justified. After all, it is midnight. Not to mention that fighting in the dark is not good for human beings, but the noise caused by Jingye at night is not what they can bear now.
However, Wang Qiang seemed very unconcerned about this. He turned his head sharply and rebuked: "What are you afraid of? I will take care of him in minutes."
After saying this, Wang Qiang did not forget to raise the steel knife in his hand. The bright blade exuded a cold light in the darkness.
"Qiangzi! Don't forget the promise you made before leaving! I order you to come back now!"
Lin Junfu, who knew Wang Qiang's temper, decisively put forward Lao Xu's previous instructions.
Sure enough, Wang Qiang showed rare hesitation after hearing this. Finally, after looking at his brother Tang Xiaoquan, he chose to obey and return to the original place with the knife.
So what do we do next?
"wait!"
Since he couldn't go out and kill the zombies, Lao Lin thought it would be better to stay in the house until early tomorrow morning and the sky would light up before making plans again.
Just what time is it now? That was the time for sleeping, but in order to avoid attracting more curious beasts due to their snoring, Lao Lin and the other four could only brace themselves.
It looks like it’s destined to be a sleepless night! (To be continued.)
