The sudden sound of prompts made Jiang Li feel inexplicably uneasy. She couldn't help but look around, as the mechanical prompts seemed to be echoing in her ears.
"Being watched by the danger in the dark..." Jiang Li couldn't help but frown. The inexplicable fear she felt just now made her feet freeze in place. She didn't know whether to leave or stay.
Jiang Li gently pushed the closed door. Just as she was standing at the door of the pharmacy hesitating, a hand stained with black and red blood suddenly appeared from the slightly slanted door and weakly touched her trouser leg. .
The back of the colorless hand was covered with skin and flesh wounds, and the dirty fingertips trembled slightly, like a trapped animal trapped in the darkness, longing for a ray of light.
Jiang Li was frightened by the sudden appearance of a hand. Just when she was about to pull away, a weak and subtle voice came from the room.
"help me……"
The hoarse and desperate cry for help made Jiang Li stop in her tracks. Everything that happened on the way home that day suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
She couldn't help but look back at the eyes behind the door. The red bloodshot eyes of despair and exhaustion were full of black and white eyes, as if they were about to lose their clarity and fall into darkness in the next second, but she still managed to hold on to the last trace of clarity and clarity. Look at yourself longingly.
Her strong desire to live and fear of death seemed to overlap frame by frame with the man who died tragically in front of her that day, and she seemed to overlap with herself that day asking for help.
Her brain clearly told herself that she should leave immediately, but Jiang Li still couldn't move, her legs felt like lead.
The consciousness of the people in the room seemed to become a little blurred, and the palms hanging in the air were shaking, like a butterfly with broken wings that finally fell to the ground weakly.
In the darkness, Xia Ying huddled behind the door panel. She almost lost all strength due to severe blood loss. Everything in front of her eyes seemed to have become illusory. In her ears, she could hear the roaring sounds of zombies, and there was a thick scent of liquid surrounding her nose. The nauseating smell of blood.
Flashing through her mind like a fleeting glance, one moment it was Xia Zhizhi crying pitifully but leaving her, the other moment it was Chen Chujun scolding her with a cold face for not protecting Xia Zhizhi and fearing that she would be infected.
Only the light coming from that gap was the only thing she could confirm now.
Xia Ying gasped hard. She felt as if her ears were ringing, and all the terrible sounds around her became vague and distant.
Waves of darkness appeared before her eyes. The same darkness and coldness seemed to bring Xia Ying back to her childhood. She was forgotten by her parents since she was a child. After her grandmother died, she was taken back to her home in the city by her parents for the first time. Black and white In the scenery, even my parents and myself are in black and white.
Only the sister who smiles sweetly to me is a beautiful color. The black and white mother said to herself who is also black and white, "Zhizhi is not in good health and is afraid of pain. Xia Ying, you must protect your sister..."
What did you say at that time? Xia Ying doesn’t remember...
She only knows that she is in pain now,
Xia Ying only knew that she was once again treated like trash, forgotten, and abandoned...
I don't know how long it took, but the warmth on her body brought Xia Ying back to consciousness.
She opened her eyes weakly, and a thin figure came into her sight. She could not see clearly clearly. She wanted to speak, but there was a dry and stinging pain in her throat.
Jiang Li had just finished dealing with the zombie in the pharmacy, and when she was planning to see if there were any crystal nuclei in the zombie's brain, she was interrupted by a system prompt.
"Ding! Recruitable personnel found!"
"Trigger recruitment task [Excellent employees are essential in a qualified hotel!]"
"[Task progress: 1/5]"
"[Task reward: 5 Zifu coupons, points reward and 150 defense value]"
Jiang Li looked at the task panel. Dafu had already become the hotel's first employee when she first bound it to the hotel system.
As for the recruitable personnel prompted by the system..., she slowly focused her gaze on the girl who was so weak that her breath was coming and going.
Just as Jiang Li was looking carefully, the system beeped suddenly, and a silver interface appeared in front of her eyes. It looked a bit like the character introduction card in the game. The introduction on the simple interface was straightforward and short.
[Name: Xia Ying]
【Age: 21】
[Speciality: Cooking (recruitable)]
[Current status: Weak]
[Current evolution level: Level 1]
Xia Ying felt that her throat was so dry that it hurt, and she couldn't help but cough, causing her whole body to tremble.
Jiang Li turned off the interface in front of her, took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack, walked to her, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Xia Ying's mouth.
"Drink some water"
After hearing this, Xia Ying raised her eyes to see clearly the appearance of the person in front of her, but her eyes were still turning black. Her desire to drink water overcame her wariness.
She had no strength in her body and could only use Jiang Li's hand to swallow one mouthful after another. The bottle of water was quickly drained to the bottom.
After drinking the water, Xia Ying took a breath and was about to say thank you when she saw the girl in front of her reaching out and handing over two more chocolates.
Jiang Li didn't know how long this person had been hungry. She didn't have any liquid food in her hands at the moment, and she didn't dare to give her dry food like bread. She could only give her some sweets to slow down.
Seeing this, Xia Ying, who was not good at words, hesitantly took the chocolate and said thank you, "...Thank you, thank you."
Xia Ying didn't seem to feel Jiang Li's malice towards her. She had been locked up here for two days, and she hadn't touched a drop of water or a grain of rice in these two days. No matter how she controlled herself, the movements of opening and eating chocolate were... A bit hungry and eager.
Seeing this, Jiang Li simply stood up and put the medicine in her backpack, while quietly putting it into the system backpack.
It was indeed a bit troublesome to deal with the zombies in the pharmacy, but luckily someone put a rope around his waist, which made it easier for Jiang Li.
After Xia Ying finished the sweets in her hand, she felt a little more strength in her body. She pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you..."
Hearing this, Jiang Li didn't turn around, just replied "You're welcome" and concentrated on putting antipyretics in her bag.
Just when she thought Xia Ying would just stay and rest, a small, hoarse voice sounded from behind again, "Today, a military rescue vehicle from Heishui City will come..."
"If you rush over now... maybe you can still get in the car..." Xia Ying swallowed the sting in her throat and said slowly, breathing heavily.
Jiang Li turned to look at her, "Why are you telling me this?"
Xia Ying silently clenched the wrapping paper in her hand, her voice hoarse, "I have nothing to thank you for, but! But the news is true! There is a safe zone in Heishui City..."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll rush to the car and leave you here alone?"
Hearing this, Xia Ying lowered her eyes, her expression numb and calm. She didn't know if she was telling Jiang Li or herself, "Throw it away or not, the result will be the same..."
I have long been used to being abandoned and forgotten, and I have nothing to look forward to...
Seeing this, Jiang Li put down the backpack in her hand and said in a regretful tone, "Although this is good news, neither of us may be able to leave now."
Xia Ying, who didn't know why, looked up at Jiang Li behind the glass cabinet and saw her raising her chin toward the window.
Groups of zombies overlapped and lay outside the window, their rotten and twisted hands patting the window, like hungry hyena beasts that were being driven.
Through the gap between the overlapping zombies, the lively expression on Jiang Li's face gradually disappeared, and the calm black pupils collided with another pair of gray and white pupils stained with blood red.
The zombie standing outside the house tilted his head and stared at Jiang Li. His face was covered with black veins and horrific bloodstains, and the corners of his bright red mouth were pulled to his ears, revealing black and red rotting flesh. It looked a bit like a horror movie. The clown in.
The zombie suddenly gave Jiang Li a stiff and weird crazy smile, which was indeed filled with overwhelming malice, and the system prompts sounded crazily in his mind.
"Jiang Yue..."
