Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer
Chapter 108 Signs of Life
Large groups of people fell down one after another. When they tried to stand up again, they had completely lost all signs of life. Their bodies were covered with a layer of paleness, turning them into hideous undead.
"For self-defense?" Hearing the other party's words, Yu Xiaowei raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly felt a strange throbbing in his heart: The other party means... does he mean the kind of... equipment for defensive purposes?
Could it be that the kind of defense he was thinking of? With doubts and expectations surging in her heart, she quietly waited for the next response.
Seeing Yu Xiaowei's focused gaze, the tall and strong man laughed heartily and said, "Are you curious?"
Steadying his thoughts, Yu Xiaowei raised his chin proudly: "To see what kind of defense it is, I do have some skills."
As soon as the tall and strong man finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the room without waiting for Yu Xiaowei to respond. She looked around the repair shop, slightly opened the car door in her hand, and gently touched the ** hidden in her leg.
Although she still had several days to go before she learned that the world would end, Yu Xiaowei still inherited the habit that had helped her countless times in her previous life - she had fixed a gun bag next to her leg early in the morning in case of an emergency; however, in the eyes of others, it was just a pretense.
She had no intention of robbing property, but after experiencing the end of the world, it was hard not to be a little wary. You know, in that cruel period, the phenomenon of "the strong preying on the weak" occurred frequently.
In fact, for equipment, the harm caused by zombies in doomsday is not prominent, especially in the later stages, its effect on increasing the zombies' attack power is almost zero.
However, Yu Xiaowei, who has experience in two lifetimes, knows clearly that apart from zombies, people are sometimes more terrifying than zombies - if these ** really exist, she is even willing to buy them as a backup tool.
Following the burly man into the room, she never expected that the door behind her would be tightly closed as soon as she entered the room. The tall man chuckled, slowly turned around and walked towards Yu Xiaowei, saying softly, "Don't worry, girl. We just think you are generous. We brothers want to discuss something with you - borrow money."
Looking at the figure approaching, Yu Xiaowei sneered. The end of the world has not yet arrived, but human nature has already become so greedy? The price she spent on the car was much more than ordinary people imagined. She did not bargain too high, but complained that she did not get much. At this moment, Yu Xiaowei's face did not show any emotional changes, but naturally exuded a trace of the temperament and tenacity she had when facing zombies in the chaos she had experienced.
This aura made the tall man shiver unconsciously: the person in front of him was just a young woman, why did he feel such a deep fear in his heart?
Just as he was about to reach out and touch the ** fixed on his leg, he suddenly heard a hurried voice from outside: "Big...big...brother! Something big has happened! My younger brother and two older brothers (the fifth and seventh) have fallen into a coma in an instant!"
The man in the room, who was already trembling slightly from Yu Xiaowei's pressure, twitched violently at the shout at the door. He looked at Yu Xiaowei through his eyes, then angrily said, "What are you yelling about?" Then he immediately opened the door because he had an overly unnatural impression of Yu Xiaowei in the room.
Seeing his brother open the door, the man rushed over and said, "Brother! It's snowing outside! It was sunny just now, but somehow it started snowing. We went out to take pictures and enjoy the snow scene out of curiosity, and then a few of us suddenly fell down and couldn't be woken up no matter what."
"Is there such a thing? Let's go check it out now." Along with the person who brought the message, the man quickly went out to find out what happened.
Yu Xiaowei seemed to be touched by something, and his eyelids jumped: Snowflakes? People falling? Is this the end of the world? No! There are at least six days to the end of the world. How can I change all this?
Regardless of the reason, if the end of the world really comes early, Yu Xiaowei now urgently needs a solution. It was originally estimated that there would be enough time, but now there has been an unexpected change.
Yu Xiaowei didn't wait for the rude man to finish his threat, and pushed open the door eagerly: "Where is the key?"
The big man had sensed something, but he didn't really see it. Although he felt the danger, he didn't believe that this seemingly weak human could pose any threat to him due to his misunderstanding of the girl.
Seeing Yu Xiaowei reaching out his hand, the man raised a hint of sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Oh, didn't you hear? My brother is not feeling well, and our car is just right for giving him away, saving you some gasoline. It would be great if we could get more money for medical expenses. This is the best of both worlds."
After saying this, the big man showed a greedy look in his eyes and laughed "Hahaha", as if declaring what a perfect plan this was.
“Since you think it’s perfect, then I’ll follow your instructions…” Yu Xiaowei pretended to be frightened, trying to lure him to go a step further, while also laying a key move for her own plan.
This sudden change made the big man feel that his previous feeling was just an illusion, and a smug expression appeared on his face.
"Since you know what's best for you, let's do you a good deed. We'll get you home safely when the time comes." After the big man said this, he stretched out a huge hand, wanting to touch Yu Xiaowei's face.
Yu Xiaowei suddenly flashed a sly sneer on her face and said, "Then I will do as you ask. But before that, I will make you pay the price!" Her fingers quickly locked the man's wrist and kicked his lower body lightly. With the advantage of strength and acceleration, the little Yu Xiaowei instantly made the man fall to the ground. Then, she used the items she had carefully prepared before to hit the back of the man's hand violently.
The man screamed in pain and the others around him were stunned. When they came to their senses, they only heard the screams of pain. Then they saw the man who wanted to take action was standing there in a daze, not daring to do anything else.
Yu Xiaowei didn't waste any more precious time, and quickly snatched the car keys from the other party's hand. While standing up, she also deliberately stabbed the man's legs appropriately. She knew that this step was the key to making everything move forward in the preset direction.
The man wailed in pain on the ground, but Yu Xiaowei didn't look at him again. She stepped into the car with the key in hand, started the engine quickly, and drove away from the repair shop.
At the time of parting, Yu Xiaowei keenly felt that there was an unusual atmosphere in the air, as if a heavy snow was about to come.
If it was the situation in the previous life, there would be only a simple judgment about such an environment - it is about to rain. After all, it was late autumn at that time, and people are well aware that "summer insects cannot talk about ice and frost". Even if the weather was still hot and steamy, they would never think of the possibility of snow.
In such a harsh climate environment, after this unexpected blizzard passed, those who were originally bedridden due to illness were either transformed into terrible zombies or became people with special abilities. Even more unfortunately, some of them were eaten by their relatives, friends, or even roommates in the same ward before they could survive this period.
There is another part, namely ordinary people who have not undergone any mutations at all, and You Xiaowei is one of them.
Obviously, the situation seems to be happening faster now. You Xiaowei does not want to face this terrible enemy before she is mentally and physically prepared. She must rush home as soon as possible. Thinking of this, You Xiaowei speeds up her pace to go home.
She parked in her own underground parking lot - this was a parking space she bought before, which was originally used by her parents to park their cars, but later it has been vacant until now. At this time, this parking space happened to be used to park her own car.
After returning home and starting to pack his things, You Xiaowei discovered that the remaining balance in his bag for payment to the repair shop had not been paid in full.
Since the people from the repair shop wanted to make trouble for her, it was fine if she didn't pay them. After all, their business practices were not in compliance with the rules. In addition, according to this person, all the brothers in their family were in a coma. No one knew how many of them had become zombies. She was in no mood to save this situation. After quickly carrying some of the food and daily necessities prepared as a cover into the car, You Xiaowei observed the situation outside. It was only a few snowflakes falling lightly, and the real blizzard had not yet arrived, which meant that she still had time to leave here. Considering that there was still a sum of money that had not been paid for the car repair, she went out with an umbrella. Although she had never become a supernatural individual in her past life, her body had a certain resistance to external invasion. Nevertheless, at this initial stage, it was always better to use an umbrella as a defense. She took a taxi to the hypermarket and exchanged the money in her hand for the food, clothes and daily necessities she needed. Then she took another taxi to bring these items back home. Finally, she went back and forth to several super supermarkets she had visited in the surrounding area many times, and all the remaining cash was used up.
In the end, her spending was extremely concise. On the way back home for the last time, You Xiaowei found that she had no money to pay for the fare. "Master, if you don't mind, I'll give you a pack of instant noodles! A whole box of this brand is much more expensive than your fare." You Xiaonu tried to negotiate with the driver, and the value of that box of instant noodles in the post-apocalyptic era should not be underestimated. Unfortunately, the other party had no room for compromise: "No, you pay the money quickly." You Xiaonu reached out to search her wallet, and when she confirmed that there was indeed no money available, she heard the other party ask: "Do you have an Alipay or WeChat account? Can I transfer money?" That's right! She immediately remembered that there was still some money left in the WeChat account on her phone, "Then I'll transfer it to you through WeChat!" The other party responded, "Well, OK." It seemed that the driver was also an experienced passenger who encountered similar problems. He skillfully opened his mobile phone and provided You Xiaonu with a QR code for face-to-face payment.
