There was only one candle lit in the warehouse, illuminating only the two lunch boxes on the table. The faces of Bai Zhi and Xiao Lin were in the shadows, and Bai Zhi did not see that Xiao Lin's face was already red.
"It's safer here than above." Bai Zhi said while drinking noodle soup: "Where will you sleep up there? Your duty room is surrounded by glass on three sides. Just make do in the basement for a while."
"Then I'll move down the folding bed in the duty room." Xiao Lin gulped down the noodle soup in the lunch box. "There are still two quilts in the duty room. We must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance. Hey, the situation outside is too bad. I don’t know when the government will send troops into the city to rescue the citizens.”
Xiaolin's thoughts are probably those of a normal three-dimensional human being. Bai Zhi wanted to talk to him about apocalyptic novels and space, so she said, "I'll go with you. I don't know if there is any danger in the building. The two of us should move things faster."
"Don't, don't. Xiaobai, don't go." Xiao Lin was so frightened that he jumped up, "You are lucky to be able to come to the company alone. The warehouse is safe now, so you can stay here. The duty room is no different. I can move all the things in one trip. I have been a soldier and can fight twice. If something happens to me, I can still run away if I can't fight."
"Sure. Then I'll guard the door." Bai Zhi said simply. Xiao Lin has been fine in the building. The building should be safe. Bai Zhi walked to the corner and pretended to rummage through things, took out her long mop knife and handed it to Xiao Lin, "Take this."
Xiao Lin took the knife, weighed it, and said, "It turns out Xiao Bai still has weapons. OK, I'll go up first."
Xiao Lin held a long knife and stood outside the door waiting for Bai Zhi to lock the door. Bai Zhi locked the door, and then he said, "I'll knock on the door later and ask you to open it. If someone else calls the door, don't open it until I come back."
Xiao Lin is still a very considerate man. Bai Zhi shouted through the rolling shutter door: "Don't panic when you encounter zombies. Those things just look scary and can't run fast. Pull something to block them. They will take the stairs, but their movements are still slow." Not very flexible.”
Xiao Lin agreed, and there was no movement outside. Bai Zhi thought for a while at the table and decided to wait for Xiao Lin to come back and have an in-depth talk with him. She has known Xiao Lin for more than two years, and she can trust Xiao Lin's character. It is very difficult for a person to survive in the apocalypse, and Bai Zhi really wants to have a few trustworthy partners. It's certainly better to partner with Xiaolin than with a stranger. You can talk to him slowly about the game system. The top priority is to collect more food and water while not many people dare to go out yet. So she has a backpack that can store things. It's really hard to hide it from Xiao Lin. She has to find an opportunity to tell him.
Bai Zhi thought for a while, took out a dozen boxes of apples and a dozen buckets of water and piled them behind several cabinets. Since Xiao Lin can think of food in the warehouse, her colleagues in the logistics department might also think of settling in the warehouse like her. If someone does come, she can handle the emergency with apples and water. She doesn't plan to stay in the warehouse for a long time. She plans to leave after Xiao Lin takes a rest. There are still plenty of these things to share with the old neighbors, so leave some for others. .
She was hiding delicious food here when she heard Xiao Lin knocking on the door and shouting: "Xiao Bai, open the door, I'm back."
Bai Zhi opened the door, and Xiao Lin first handed the flashlight to Bai Zhi, then moved in the folding bed and two quilts wrapped in sheets, and said, "There are a lot of things outside." His face turned a little pale, and he stretched out to untie the The hand that folded a bunch of keys on the bedside was still trembling, "I went to your office to take out the spare keys for the office upstairs. Give me the bag and I'll go up again to see if I can find anything in the office. food."
"I'll go up with you. If there's a lot to eat, it won't be easy for you to carry it alone." Bai Zhi felt that Xiao Lin was a little overprotective of her. It's okay to rush to help her move things. Now is the end of the world, and neither women nor men are qualified to rely on others for their lives. Bai Zhi put her backpack on her back and showed her actions that she must go out with him.
"It's dangerous outside!" Xiao Lin picked up the long-handled kitchen knife leaning against the door and stopped Bai Zhi from going out. "Give me the bag. You guard the door of the warehouse. I'll go alone."
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows, "My door was opened by zombies. Two! I'm not alive yet. How many zombies have you killed? I killed nearly twenty. I fought zombies all the way here."
Xiao Lin seemed not to recognize Bai Zhi and turned away from her. Bai Zhi said nothing, turned around, turned on the flashlight, blew out the candle, and locked the door. Xiao Lin sighed in the darkness, "Xiao Bai, you are a girl, how can you be so strong?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said nothing. If she is gentle and obedient enough and smoothly marries Wang Chengpeng and becomes Mrs. Wang as soon as she graduates from college, she will certainly live a prosperous and stable life. But apart from that, she would have nothing, no freedom, no dignity. She would rather live a hard life than hide under the wings of others just to live a stable life. It didn't happen before, and it doesn't happen now.
Xiao Lin handed over the long knife in his hand, "You hold this first, so you can block it if something happens. Let's go to the duty room later, and I'll get a folding chair. That thing is very powerful and can hit someone in one go." Get down."
Bai Zhi took the long knife obediently, handed the flashlight to Xiao Lin, squatted down, picked up the broken basin, and followed Xiao Lin forward.
The light of the small flashlight was not very bright, and in the dim light, Xiao Lin's two long legs could be clearly seen trembling slightly.
"Xiao Bai, don't be afraid when you enter the hall." Xiao Lin's voice was a little hollow. "There are a lot of things there. They are blocked by the glass door and can't get in."
"Okay." Bai Zhi responded nonchalantly. Most of her attention was on how she was going to explain to Xiao Lin that she had a system backpack. Bai Zhi is not sure how Xiao Lin treats strangers. If Xiao Lin is an unprincipled and bad person, then we really can't say that she has a backpack.
Bai Zhi followed Xiao Lin tangledly and turned to the first floor. Xiao Lin put his hand on the door handle and put the flashlight in his pocket with the other hand, as if he had made up his mind, "Xiao Bai, don't scream when you see anything."
Bai Zhi hummed lowly. Seeing that he was still hesitating, she rushed to open the door. She put her hand on the back of Xiao Lin's hand. Bai Zhi's palms were warm, but the back of Xiao Lin's hands was cold. Bai Zhi pressed down gently, and the back of Xiao Lin's hand arched slightly, blocking her hand forcefully. Xiao Lin refused to open the door. Was he afraid?
Bai Zhi said softly: "When I killed the first zombie, I still vomited. When I was halfway through vomiting, the second zombie touched me and asked me to knock it to death. This was the first time or two that I felt uncomfortable. , you’ll get used to it later.”
"You will still vomit." Xiao Lin quickly opened the door and grabbed Bai Zhi's hand tightly with his backhand. "No matter how scared you are, don't shout. As soon as there is a sound, they will move violently and become even scarier."
When the door opened, a strong and soul-destroying smell wafted over first. The lobby on the first floor of XX Building has two glass walls, both facing the road. The security guard's duty room is in the corner of the glass wall on the east side. Bai Zhi entered the hall door and looked east.
I go! There is a dense layer of zombies lying on the glass wall, hundreds of them! Seeing two people coming into the hall, the zombies outside the wall excitedly dug their pointed claws into the glass wall. The squeaking sound of scratching the glass makes one's teeth sore. Some of these zombies were missing half of their faces, and some had been disemboweled. At first glance, there were no complete parts. Such a group of bloody things with a good appetite are stretching their claws at you, opening their mouths and screaming strangely. Even through a glass wall, it is still very scary.
Xiao Lin looked at Bai Zhi nervously. Bai Zhi shook her head, indicating that she was not that scared, and motioned for Xiao Lin to continue walking.
Xiao Lin said softly: "You just stand here. If something happens, just leave me alone and run away." Then he let go of his hand and trotted to the duty room. Seeing someone approaching, the crowd of zombies outside the wall became even more crowded. The glass door not far away was shaken back and forth by the squeeze, and several bloody hands squeezed in through the cracks in the door. The yellow-yellow-green liquid on the blue-black wrists mixed with the smelly black blood dripped on the granite floor, creating a fishy stench. The taste is getting stronger and stronger.
Xiao Lin quietly exited with a folding chair. When he saw Bai Zhi observing the zombies calmly, he sighed angrily and said, "Xiao Bai, I really didn't see it. You are quite courageous."
"It's okay. You stayed in the duty room all day yesterday?" Bai Zhi looked at Xiao Lin's dark circles, "So you didn't dare to fall asleep?"
Xiao Lin nodded sheepishly, "Team Wang told me not to run around when he left. I think this is a big deal, and the government will definitely send troops. I will stay here and wait for the troops to come so I can report the situation. Yesterday I In the afternoon, no living person was found passing by...but there are more and more of these things gathering."
Xiao Lin actually dared to spend the night in the duty room. His mind was not ordinary. Unfortunately, this guy still looks like I'm scared of him. Xiaolin wanted to lock the door after leaving the hall. Bai Zhi stopped him and said, "Don't lock it. If zombies can come in, this door won't be able to stop it for long. There are too many zombies outside the building. We have to find another place to live."
"The security team's dormitory is not too far away...but" Xiao Lin hesitated for a while, "we can't go there. That guy Liu Qiang..."
"I have heard about Liu Qiang and know that he is not a good person." Bai Zhi frowned slightly, "Xiao Lin, listen to me. Now citizens have food and drink at home, so there are only zombies and no living people on the streets. There are not many zombies. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to run away from home so easily. I believe the ZF will definitely rescue us. But how long do we have to wait?”
"Two or three days?" Xiao Lin hesitated, "It should be the same as "Resident Evil". It's only like this in our place."
"I still have four packs of instant noodles and some biscuits, which is probably enough for the two of us to eat for a day." Bai Zhi looked into Xiao Lin's eyes. She was not sure of convincing Xiao Lin. If Xiao Lin didn't agree to go with her, then she had a systematic backpack. Things must never be told to him. "Xiao Lin, I originally planned to go to the wholesale market two stops away to find food. Now when I go out, as long as I'm careful to avoid the hordes of zombies, it's actually not that dangerous. Now that I have food..."
"You were lucky." Xiao Lin interrupted Bai Zhi with an unusually tough attitude, "Xiao Bai, if I don't go out, I won't let you go out either."
Bai Zhi took a few steps back and threw him the key to the warehouse. "The instant noodles are in the cabinet in the warehouse. There are more than a dozen boxes of apples and a dozen buckets of water behind the cabinet. If you don't go out, go back to the warehouse if you find food. I'm the only one People go.”
"Baizhi!" Xiao Lin grasped Bai Zhi's wrist hard, "You only have a backpack. How much food can you pack if we go to the wholesale market alive? How about we stay here and hide well and wait for rescue?"
"Xiao Lin, even if there is rescue, people must learn to save themselves first." Bai Zhi smiled bitterly, "We have different opinions and do not want to work together. You must not leave, and I don't want to stay. Please take care of me."
Xiao Lin forcefully brought Bai Zhi into his arms. Bai Zhi was still dazed, so Xiao Lin hugged her around the waist, carried her on his shoulders and ran upstairs.
"Hey, please put me down." Bai Zhi's stomach was stuck on his shoulder, and it was particularly uncomfortable for him to lie head down.
Xiao Lin weighed her up, and put his other hand directly on Bai Zhi's waist, "Xiao Bai, I can't let you die."
"If a zombie comes downstairs at this time, we will both die. Let me down." Bai Zhi has never felt that Xiao Lin is as disgusting as she does now.
Xiao Lin's hands seemed to hug him tighter. He didn't say anything and just rushed up.
"Xiao Lin, let me down." Bai Zhi did not dare to struggle. Climbing the stairs, she was holding a long knife in her hand, so struggling was dangerous. Besides, there is something wrong with Xiao Lin's current state, so she'd better cooperate.
I don't know where the sound of "ho ho" came from. Bai Zhi felt that she was not far away, so she immediately said: "Xiao Lin, put me down, there are zombies nearby."
Xiaolin Station also heard the sound. He quickly put down Bai Zhi and lowered his voice and said, "That's not right. I patrolled every floor in the morning. Why are there zombies now? Come on, let's go down to the second floor to find an office." Hide for a while first.”
Bai Zhi slowly moved toward the stairs and looked down alertly.
Xiao Lin looked up and saw a pool of black blood at the top of the stairs upstairs. He immediately took Bai Zhi's hand and ran towards the corridor below. After just two steps, both of them smelled the fishy smell.
At the end of the corridor on this floor, under a large glass window, there were three zombies squatting together and chewing something. They all turned their heads when they heard the sound. The three bloody faces looked particularly terrifying in the sunlight. The two living people made them very excited. They opened their purple lips, revealing their mutated sharp teeth, roared, and quickly changed from a squatting state to an upright running state. "Escape!" Xiao Lin pulled Bai Zhi back, "You run first! I'll lock the door before going down."
