Qin Jue's eyes were numb and black, and he almost hit the wooden door frame when the world was spinning. She thought it would be good to find some alcohol for temporary disinfection. Just as she was thinking about it, she could clearly distinguish the smell of alcohol from the complex smell of vegetables, fruits and sauces. She followed this smell and went straight to the end. Inner room.
There are many brown and white glass bottles on the shelves against the wall. Her vision was a little blurry, and the dim light and the light reflected from the glass bottle made her unable to open her eyes. There was a strong smell of alcohol mixed with various sauces, which was so strong that it made her head buzz.
She blinked hard and saw clearly the red label "Erguotou" on the white transparent glass bottle.
Qin Jue hurriedly grabbed a bottle, and the shelves made a clanging sound when she hit them. She unscrewed the bottle cap, and the joints on her hands turned white from the exertion.
A strong aroma of wine hit her brain. Thinking that she might not be around for long and had not drank much in the peaceful years, she directly drank two big gulps from the bottle. The spicy alcohol smell was very exciting, and the Wu Zang Temple instantly warmed up, and people became more energetic. Her hands were dripping with sweat and couldn't stop trembling. She immediately held the bottle tightly and poured the remaining wine onto her entire arm, which was already turning blue.
The intense pain pierced Qin Jue's nerves fiercely, like a shot in the arm, making her eyes suddenly clear. The tingling sensation that had caused him to scratch his head and cheeks just now was offset by the severe pain. She only vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she had no time to find out what it was.
"You're too fierce." Wang Yiyi rushed over, tore off the bandage with a loud noise, quickly wrapped the wound on Qin Jue's arm, and carefully tied a beautiful bow.
"Okay, let's do this for now." She looked at the bow she tied with satisfaction, "I'll go see if there's anything else I can take with me." Wang Yiyi was about to turn around when Qin Jue grabbed her arm. He turned around and looked at Qin Jue in confusion.
In front of her, Wang Yiyi's face turned gray-white, her red lips had long faded, her eyes were bloodshot and a little cloudy. Qin Jue was a little frightened: "You... hurry up and disinfect with alcohol." Wang Yiyi shook her head like a rattle, "Please spare me, it hurts me to death first." He got up and went outside, looking around at what little was left. vegetable market.
Qin Jue leaned against the shelf and gasped. He looked up and saw a light bulb hanging from a single wire on the ceiling. The dim light was only about 60 watts. The wind blew and the light and shadow on the gray cement wall swayed back and forth in this narrow space, just like her pounding heartbeat at the moment.
Turning sideways, I found a separate red-painted wooden door next to the liquor shelf. The paint was mottled, revealing the color of the original wood. Old houses usually have such a structure, with the front room used as a facade and the back room used for resting or storing goods.
Her eyes were clear for only a short while, and after the pain passed, the itch began to spread again. Something was getting deeper and deeper into her body, making people want to go crazy, and the violent energy seemed to be only separated by a piece of paper.
She didn't want to give up just like that, but she couldn't bear the feeling of weakness after waves of resistance.
"Yiyi, I may not be able to hold on for long. We have to find a place to rest." Qin Jue held his knees, his usually flexible limbs now feeling extremely heavy, and his voice was only exhaled.
Wang Yiyi opened a snakeskin bag next to the vegetable stall with a bang, looking anxiously for something to eat at night. Suddenly, a sound of "Crack, Crack, Crack" came from outside the market, as if metal was being squeezed by something, which made one's teeth ache.
At this time, the setting sun has set, and the deep blue night sky only has a trace of afterglow, a little purple, and something vaguely visible.
Wang Yiyi paused for a moment, and the hairs on her hands stood up because of something. Then she ran to Qin Jue like crazy, pulled Qin Jue up, opened the wooden door next to her, and got in. After entering the house, he pulled Qin Jue to squat against the wall and closed the door with a bang.
The room was extremely quiet, except for the rapid breathing of the two people.
Because it was so quiet, any noise sounded particularly noticeable.
Bah, bah. Something scratched the cement wall.
Neither of them could see the other clearly in the darkness, but the voice was in the room. Wang Yiyi slowly squeezed towards Qin Jue, held her breath, opened her eyes wide, and stared hard into the darkness, hoping to see something clearly.
Qin Jue was already a little drowsy at this moment, and he could vaguely see red light spots in the darkness, which were moving like dots and spots. Wang Yiyi couldn't see anything, but she grabbed Qin Jue's arm helplessly with both hands, squeezing tighter and tighter.
The clicking sound was getting closer and closer, it seemed like footsteps but the rhythm was not normal. In the smell of sauce and liquor, Wang Yiyi also smelled a smell of rust, which became stronger.
The darkness was like a surge, gradually overwhelming her and leaving her breathless.
Her back was pressed tightly against the wall, her heartbeat was beating loudly, her eyes were filled with tears, and her lips were tightly pressed and trembling uncontrollably.
At this time, there was a scratching sound from outside the wall behind me, and something hard was scratched from the wall to the wooden door. A slight vibration came from the tight back.
Wang Yiyi finally closed her eyes tightly, tears rolling down.
Qin Jue opened her eyes instantly. She felt that part of her body was getting cold, while part of her body was so hot that it was about to burn. The piercing force was like a steel needle piercing through her arm and entering her body. It never stopped going deep into the center of her body, invading her consciousness. However, this "steel needle" did not spread around due to her strong resistance, and finally condensed into a ball of hot liquid, beating like a heartbeat.
She clearly felt that her heartbeat was weakening, beating now and then not. This hot liquid replaced the energy of her heart. The hot patch on her heart brought about waves of strength that even made her feel comfortable. She patted Wang Yiyi, who had been holding her arm tightly, and she felt that she was gradually able to control this power.
Qin Jue slowly stood up, and Wang Yiyi grabbed her wrist and didn't dare to say anything, sitting on the ground and moving behind her.
This time Qin Jue could see clearly that there were three zombies in front of him.
Maybe he was locked in the house and couldn't get out. The first person was a woman, standing in front of her, a few steps away.
The woman was short, and half of her plump round face was gone, with one side of her teeth and cheekbones exposed. She was wearing a short-sleeved dress with red and white spots, and a cyan plastic apron hanging on her chest. The short sleeves could frame a pair of white arms. She opened her mouth like a black hole, her eyes were gray, and she stretched out her hands like claws, grabbing Qin Jue.
All this seemed as clear as slow motion in Qin Jue's eyes.
Qin Jue no longer felt scared at this time. She stretched out her slender fingers and touched the still intact forehead of the zombie in the red dress. Suddenly, a scene she had never seen before appeared in front of her: when it was still dark, a woman She drove a blue tricycle here to set up a stall, loading and unloading fresh vegetables. She made more than a dozen trips up and down, all by herself.
When the sun rose high, she took out a sun-protective white long-sleeved shirt and sun hat from under the stall and put it on. She bargained energetically with the customers in a loud voice, and quickly gave regular customers a few handfuls of free onions or garlic, shaking them. With white arms, he warmly greets people to come back tomorrow. During my free time, I loudly showed off her bright new dress with the aunt at the stall next door, and gently asked my son, who is a freshman in high school, on the phone if he wanted to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs she made.
Seeing only half of her face and her pale complexion, Qin Jue felt sour in her heart. The zombie in the red dress looked at Qin Jue with gray eyes and fell silent.
At this time, the other two zombies behind her suddenly looked at the door and roared fiercely.
Wang Yiyi, who was curled up on the ground, couldn't help burying her head in her knees, covering her ears, and cried from her mouth.
The wooden door was torn apart with a bang, and a tall monster stood outside the door.
Yes, a monster.
It is more than two heads taller than the average person, has long hands and long legs, and its claws are extremely long and sharp. The sternum is prominent, and there is a bright red opening and closing opening on the abdomen.
It stuck its head into the short doorframe and peered in. Drool dripped onto the cement floor, and an unspeakable stench filled the air. Wang Yiyi cried, buried her face in her knees, and huddled up in the corner.
Qin Jue turned his head to look at the monster, and the zombie in red dress also turned his head to look at the monster. Qin Jue's hanging fingers moved slightly, and the fingers of the red-dressed zombie also moved slightly. Then she rushed towards the monster, using the momentum of her shoulders to knock it into the outhouse. The moonlight penetrated the inner room like this. Wang Yiyi, who was huddled in the corner, did not dare to stand up. She only saw the two zombies following Qin Jue outside through the faint light outside the room.
Wang Yiyi leaned against the wall on all fours, crawled to the wooden door, quietly stretched out her head and looked out.
The moonlight is particularly clear tonight, and the road outside the vegetable stall is covered with silver gauze.
The bald monster reflected the luster of human flesh. Under the moonlight, it raised its head and screamed twice from time to time, staring at Qin Jue, who was walking back and forth anxiously in the center of the field.
Wang Yiyi tightly covered her mouth that grew in surprise. There were tears in her wide eyes that had no time to roll down. A small figure with flying long hair was reflected in her pupils.
