"The store has a new batch of goods. I'm here to deliver dog food to Xiaofu." The middle-aged man outside smiled kindly and looked very friendly.
There was no movement inside the door.
The man next to him glanced at the untouched breakfast and lunch on the ground: "I haven't even taken the food, so he must have gone out."
"No way." The middle-aged man was very sure, "If he goes out, it will rain red from the sky. Yu, must be at home."
"Does that mean you don't want to open the door for us?"
A trace of displeasure flashed in the man's eyes, and then he banged the door vigorously: "Xiao An, I am the owner of the pet supplies store. Did something happen to you? You don't want our help, eh? You open the door first."
The words sounded very concerned, but the action of slapping the door was very rough. The black security door was shaken by the slapping, and Lin An's shoulders inside the door also shrank. .
It was clear that just across the door was the food he had been looking forward to for a long time, but Lin An was so panicked that he stumbled to his bedroom.
As if he had developed an instinct, he ran into the bedroom, opened the closet and stepped in, then closed the closet, covered his ears and huddled in the depths of the closet.
Xiaofu looked up at the door, trying to look ferocious, and barked at the door, trying to scare away the intruders outside.
"Listen, the dog is inside, and that kid is definitely there too."
"Brother, what if he doesn't open the door? I specially bought another batch of goods. If I can't sell them, I'll throw them away."
"Yes, this kid He usually doesn't go out. If he doesn't open the door, we really can't do anything to him."
The owner of the pet supplies store looked impatient: "I want you to restrain yourself. We sold so many goods last time, and now it's just a few days. I made a batch, and this is not the way to harvest wool. I sold him so much dog food before and it was always fine. I brought you here once and it became like this, hum!" The men next to him didn't dare to refute,
He just asked in embarrassment: "What should we do now?"
The boss picked up the lunch box on the ground and gave it to the other two people: "Lin An orders food from this restaurant for three meals a day, and he can't eat anything else. You guys I've been waiting here for the past two days, waiting for the food delivery person to put down the food and take it away immediately. I don't believe he won't open the door for a few days because he's hungry."
The boss and another person left, leaving only two men standing here. .
It happened that they didn't have lunch either, so the two of them enjoyed Lin An's brunch as a matter of course.
"Which restaurant is this from? It's quite delicious." The yellow-haired man ate with gusto. In the beautifully packaged lunch box, the food was a combination of meat and vegetables. The presentation alone looked very appetizing, and the taste was even better than him. It's several times better than what I've had in other restaurants.
There was a scar on the corner of another man's eye, and he looked very angry. He was eating meat buns and snorted coldly when he heard this: "This is private food. Most people can't eat it without making a reservation. The money you make in one day is not enough for this meal." ."
The yellow-haired man clicked his tongue: "How do you think this kid got so much money? I heard from the eldest brother that he neither goes out nor works. He is a rich second generation?" The
scarred man ate another meat bun in one mouthful: "I don't know, you Why do you care so much? When this kid can't bear it anymore, just sell it to him. I don't care if he is a rich second generation."
There were only two meat buns and a cup of soy milk for breakfast, and the scarred man ate two meat buns. , but the hunger became stronger. He looked at the rice in the yellow-haired man's hand and suddenly grabbed it.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The yellow-haired man subconsciously wanted to snatch it back, but found that the other person was devouring the food like a starving ghost, with bloodshot eyes, which looked quite scary at first glance.
They didn't know each other well, they just got together to play cards occasionally. Seeing that this guy was not easy to mess with, the yellow-haired man rolled his eyes and whispered: "Eat, eat, eat, I'll eat you to death."
After that, the two of them stayed in the forest. Squatting at the door of An's house, the yellow-haired man looked at his mobile phone and smoked at other times. He was extremely bored.
But the scarred man was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, his head lowered, breathing loudly, and looking very uncomfortable.
Although the yellow-haired man noticed that something was wrong with the other party, he ignored him. He still remembered the feud over lunch at noon.
The sky was getting dark, and the yellow-haired man's cell phone had run out of battery. He anxiously walked up and down the corridor, looking at the stairs from time to time.
"It's past seven o'clock, why hasn't dinner come yet? It must have been cancelled." The more Huang Mao thought about it, the more likely it seemed that the other party knew that they were squatting outside the door, so they must have canceled the order online.
correct! He remembered that the last batch of goods sold to Lin An contained a lot of canned and compressed food.
Damn, they are still keeping their guard up.
The more Huang Mao thought about it, the angrier he became. He strode up to the scarred man and said, "Stop guarding. The goods we sold last time included more than a dozen boxes of canned food and compressed food. Lin An won't starve to death if he doesn't go out for several months. That old guy has no brains." If you are not awake, send us to guard the door until we are dead. Maybe they won't come out."
The scarred man sat motionless in the shadows.
Huang Mao was still angry and kicked the scarred man: "Why don't you say anything? He's dead."
Suddenly a hand stretched out from the shadow and grabbed Huang Mao's calf.
"What are you doing!" Huang Mao jumped back and tried to pull his foot back, but found that the opponent's strength was so strong that the bones of his foot were about to be crushed.
The scarred man was pulled out of the shadow range by the other party's struggle. Under the dim light, his dark gray hands were covered with veins, and his turbid blood-colored eyes showed hunger and madness. He slowly opened his mouth and opened his sharp fangs. Inserted into Huang Mao's thigh.
Blood spurted out, and a piece of hot flesh was torn off from the yellow-haired leg.
"Ahhhhh!" Huang Mao fell to the ground, shaking all over in pain. He was horrified to see the scarred man chewing his meat expressionlessly.
There was blood all over his face, mouth, and clothes, but the other person was extremely calm, and his cloudy eyes were still staring at him, as if he was considering where to start his next bite.
"Help!" Huang Mao was crawling on the ground in embarrassment, with blood stains dragging all the way on the ground. His nose was dripping with mucus, and he shouted loudly, "Help, there is a ghost here." This community is in a remote location, and there are usually not many people
. He I shouted for a long time, but no one came.
As if he thought of something, hope burst out of Huang Mao's eyes. He stood up dragging his injured leg and limped to Lin An's door.
"Help, Lin An, I know you are at home, open the door quickly!"
The scarred man swallowed the meat in his mouth, but this bit of meat not only did not relieve his hunger, but made him feel even more uncomfortable. He was so hungry.
He stood up slowly, his limbs stiff and uncoordinated, like an out-of-control puppet, moving crookedly towards his goal.
"Lin An!!!" Huang Mao shouted, breaking his throat, but there was only a dog barking inside, and no one came to open the door.
Seeing that the other party was coming, Huang Mao could only drag his legs and run towards the stairs.
One dragged his injured leg, the other had stiff limbs, and both were very slow.
Huang Mao endured the severe pain and ran downstairs, but he heard the sound of something falling from behind. He turned around and saw the scarred man rolling down the stairs, passing him and hitting the wall at the corner of the stairs.
The crisp sound of broken bones resounded in the stairwell.
The scarred man was twisted and twisted, with his head on the ground facing Huang Mao. His scarlet eyes lost focus and remained motionless.
He should be dead, his body is twisted like this.
Huang Mao didn't dare to relax, so he limped downstairs and walked around the other party. His cell phone was out of battery, and he had to go to a place with people. He had to go to the hospital, and by the way, he had to call the police.
When he avoided the other party and continued walking downstairs, a shadow enveloped him behind him.
Huang Mao was knocked down by the scarred man and rolled down the stairs together.
Countless blood spread in the stairwell, and the low sound of chewing never stopped.
Night was originally a time for people to rest and revel, but tonight, screams and wailings were heard from all over Chuxi City, and there was blood and death everywhere.
The quiet and peaceful city suddenly turned into a purgatory on earth.
*
Lin An stayed in the cabinet for a long time, until the boss's voice could no longer be heard outside, and then he quietly poked his head out of the cabinet.
There is the smell of food outside the door.
He slowly walked towards the security door and put his head against the door, keeping this position motionless.
The memory of not long ago told him that it would hurt if he hit the door, but if he stood here, the door would open sooner or later.
Lin An stood at the door and waited. The dog beside him tilted his head and put his head against the wall like its owner.
A zombie and a dog started to face the wall.
At night, Xiaofu was hungry again, but his owner was still facing the wall. He could only drag his owner by his trousers to pour the dog food. Lin An looked stupid, but he was very comfortable doing things he had done once.
Even without any instructions from the dog's paw, he automatically started pouring dog food into the dog bowl when he was pulled to the dog food bag.
After pouring the dog food, Lin An smelled the smell and walked to the door. As soon as he reached the door, a strong smell of blood drifted in along the crack in the door.
Lin An was so stimulated that he put a hand on the door handle and subconsciously made a move to open the door.
"Ahhhhh!"
Startled by the screams outside, Lin An panicked and ran into the cupboard to hide.
Hearing the people outside shouting his name in a shrill and frightened voice, Lin An was indifferent. He didn't even know who he was, so how could he understand what the other person was shouting.
Soon, the sounds outside were no longer heard, and the smell of blood gradually drifted away.
Lin An came out of the cabinet and touched his belly in disappointment, and then sharply saw a piece of dog hair stuck to his pants.
Lin An: ...I started to feel uncomfortable again.
While the little zombie was cleaning diligently, the owner of the pet supply store was chopping off the head of a zombie with an axe, with a ferocious expression on his face.
The smelly black blood splashed on his face, he was breathing heavily, and there was uncontrollable panic in his eyes.
"What is this?!" The boss's companion, a tall man, hid behind the shelf with his head in his hands. He came out trembling when he saw the zombie lying on the ground motionless.
The boss wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve: "I don't know, let's go out and call the police first."
They were drinking in the pet supplies store, and a zombie stumbled in and bit everyone in sight. If it hadn't been too slow, they would have Maybe he really died.
Avoiding the motionless zombie, the two left the store.
The pet shop is located in a remote location, and only residents of the opposite community will pass by. As soon as you leave the store, the screams and calls for help coming from all over the community are particularly obvious.
The boss took his cell phone to call the police, but the call line was always busy and could not be reached at all.
The man behind him looked panicked: "What the hell is going on? What should we do?"
At this moment, a man suddenly walked out of the corner next to him, startling both of them. The boss quickly put the ax on his body. forward.
"Help." The trembling female voice was crying as she kept approaching them.
The two of them relaxed a little, as long as they weren't the kind of zombies that eat people.
The woman's steps were slow and skewed, and the light sign of the pet supply store gradually illuminated her face.
The originally fair and beautiful face was covered with red swellings, and they were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye. On the neck, arms, calves, and in places hidden by clothes, the swellings continued to grow like bubbles. , getting bigger and denser.
However, the woman was still conscious, and her face, whose facial features could no longer be seen clearly, was full of tears: "Help me."
Both of them were sweating and had goosebumps all over their bodies.
The boss reacted quickly, turned around and ran away in an instant, but the tall man's feet weakened and fell to the ground: "Don't leave me! Brother, help me."
The woman cried and approached the tall man. At this time, she was bloated. Her skin turned a transparent red, as if something was holding her body up from the inside out.
The tall man looked at his companions who had run away and could only crawl out desperately.
The woman stretched out a swollen and bright hand with difficulty, her mouth was submerged in the swelling, leaving only the last words: "Help me."
The next moment, the whole person lost her human shape, like a pool of flowing red. The fleshy flesh swallowed up the screaming man and drowned him...
The middle-aged man heard the cry for help from behind, but never looked back.
Although he was scared, his mind was extremely clear.
Even the police calls couldn't be answered, and the whole city was probably occupied. He had to find a safe place that was free of zombies and could still secure supplies.
Soon, the boss thought of Lin An.
Lin An's home is not far from here. It is in a remote location and there are not many residents nearby.
The most important thing is that they had previously forcibly sold Lin An a batch of goods, which contained a lot of canned and compressed food, enough for him to live for several months.
And Lin An, if he turns into a zombie, kill him with an axe.
If not, a dark look flashed in the man's eyes when he thought of the face he had seen before.
