Next door to Zhou Ming,
In Yu Ya’s home,
"Did I wear it? How do I remember that I was wearing black yesterday?"
Yu Ya looked at the silver ring on her hand and murmured softly. The smooth, mirror-like surface of the polished ring reflected her dark and unclear expression.
As soon as Zhang Hui caught a glimpse of his wife's panicked look, he suddenly became filled with doubts. He quietly approached to see the messages on his wife's phone, but was unexpectedly stared at by Yu Ya with a stern look.
He helplessly touched the sparse hair on his head, smiled coquettishly and asked:
"Dear, did your friend agree to lend you food again?"
Hearing her husband's sudden question, a flash of panic flashed across Yu Ya's eyes. She quietly put her phone into her pocket. In order to prevent Zhang Hui from noticing her deal with her friend, she couldn't help but point her bare finger at him. Pretending to be angry, he said:
"Are you confused? They just lent us food a few hours ago. How could they easily agree to lend it to us again? Do you really think that the food now is brought by the strong wind?"
Her mood fluctuated as she remembered the subtle message Zhou Ming had just conveyed. In order to cover up her inner turmoil in front of her lover, her words became surprisingly rude.
Zhang Hui listened quietly, looking slightly embarrassed.
really,
Faced with such a situation,
Being able to help him once is the limit.
then,
Yu Ya did not wait for him to answer, but continued coldly,
"I'm going to rest, don't come in and disturb me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and walked to the bedroom. There was a loud bang and the door closed behind her, leaving Zhang Hui stunned in place, with his mind buzzing.
Entering the bedroom, Yu Ya still felt uneasy, so she locked the door again.
After pulling it several times to confirm that the door was firmly locked, she felt relieved.
Then,
Yu Ya clicked on the crystal chandelier on the ceiling and slowly walked towards the luxurious wardrobe in the room. She reached into the closet and searched carefully among the various clothes with her delicate jade fingers, while muttering in a low voice:
"Gray? Why does this person have such strange hobbies?"
"But I don't seem to have many gray clothes myself."
...
Only one door separates,
Due to the excellent sound insulation measures,
But Zhou Ming couldn't hear the deafening sound of Yu Ya's door closing next door.
At this moment, he
Standing by the window,
He opened the curtains slightly, and he cleverly used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the movements of the zombies outside the door.
As of today,
The once bustling and bustling community is now dead and devastated.
As far as the eye can see, in addition to zombies wandering around with black runes branded on their foreheads, there are also many tattered clothes, and the exposed skin is full of decayed, slow-moving human infected bodies. The entire community environment is very much like in a movie. doomsday scenario.
More and more,
Zhou Ming stared closely at the densely packed human infected bodies.
yesterday,
He also carefully counted,
The number of zombies downstairs is only about twenty.
And now,
He stretched out his fingers and counted the monsters one by one,
"One, two...seven...forty-two, sixty-three."
The count is complete,
He carved a line of words heavily on the wall.
"On the fourth day, there are sixty-three zombies."
Above this line of handwriting, there are still Zhou Ming’s records from the past few days.
"On the first day, there are eleven zombies."
"The next day, seventeen zombies."
"On the third day, there were twenty-nine zombies."
certainly,
These numbers are not exact;
because,
This was only the number of zombies found in Zhou Ming's field of vision a few meters downstairs.
He tried to get through this tiny area,
Speculating on the serious situation of the entire community, and even the entire Jinghuai City.
"The situation is getting worse. According to the data in the past few days, the zombies are spreading more and more rapidly."
Zhou Ming's deep eyes glanced at the string of data in front of him, and his mood became more solemn.
The North District where he lives,
It is the most secluded corner of Jinghuai City and is not densely populated.
However,
The level of virus infection in the North District,
Already shocking.
So,
What has become of the world outside the North District?
Given the population density in the center of Jinghuai City,
If no warning is given in advance and preventive measures are taken,
What will happen?
Zhou Ming couldn't even think about it.
Logically speaking,
As a species that has stood at the top of the food chain for thousands of years, as long as someone organizes the power of the crowd and makes some simple weapons, even if it faces zombies like tigers and lions, it will not be completely lost. Take the initiative.
However, what is puzzling is that
Three days have passed. Not only have the residents of the North District failed to expect help from the federal government, but even the managers within the community have been at a loss to deal with the disaster.
Why?
Is it because there is a more serious situation in the city center?
Or has our area been abandoned?
All mysteries shrouded Zhou Ming's mind.
He once again turned his attention to other residential buildings in the community, filled with doubts.
Perhaps because this building is full of young people, few of them know how to cook at home. More and more people are falling into the dilemma of food shortage. Those who once stayed at home have no choice but to post signs asking for help on their windows. of paper.
"Two packs of instant noodles, in exchange for my life as a cow and a horse. Can any good person give me some food? I can't hold it anymore."
"Which brother has food? I am willing to exchange it for a hundred times the price."
"I am Mr. Jin, the landlord of this building. If anyone can prepare a pack of ham for me, as a token of my gratitude, I will give you several of my properties free of charge when the disaster is over."
The contents of the notes are varied, some are selling them to gain sympathy, some are trying to buy them with money, and some even use the house as a mortgage.
certainly,
The most outrageous one.
Zhou Ming saw such a line on the wall of a house with pink curtains.
"Paid in exchange for food."
There is a small frame of artistic image attached to the edge of the note. The heroine in the picture has a delicate look on her eyebrows and a gentle smile on her face. Her temperament is particularly elegant and pure.
"I didn't expect that the female teachers in the guzheng training room would start using this method to ask for food."
Zhou Ming shook his head,
Slowly closed the curtains.
Although his warehouses are full of grain,
But he never thought of giving it to anyone else.
It's not that he is cruel,
But he knew the consequences of doing so.
If he takes action,
In less than half a day,
He will then become a victim at the hands of those he once aided.
human nature,
He would never have any illusions again.
Zhou Ming withdrew his thoughts and was about to take out his cell phone to check if Liu Qiang had responded to the message when there was a knock on the door.
He's a little strange,
I didn’t tell Liu Qiang the specific house number.
How exactly did she find her place?
Could it be that she had a wide network of contacts when she opened the store and someone informed her of the location?
But my residence is located in a corner. Except for the landlord, no one usually notices which house I live in.
Zhou Ming's thoughts raced rapidly, finally focusing on an extremely ugly face.
Depend on!
Could it be that zombies are coming?
Zhou Ming's heartbeat accelerated, a chill hit his heart, and fear grew in his heart.
He stared at the closed door for a while, then tiptoed into the kitchen.
Among the many knives, he selected a sharp watermelon knife and a heavy cutting board. Holding the cutting board in his left hand and the watermelon knife in his right hand, he carefully moved towards the door.
Subsequently,
He came to the door,
Vigilantly peering through the peephole at every move outside the door.
suddenly,
His expression was dull.
"Why is it her?"
