In the middle of the night, when there was a short scream that seemed to be choking in his throat, Qiao Bai suddenly opened his eyes, the instincts he had cultivated in society since he was a child warned him of the approaching danger.

Without turning on the light, Qiao Bai lay on his side on the bed and listened carefully to the movement outside. His body was tense in the darkness. After a while, just when he thought he might still be living in a dream and had an auditory hallucination, another With a muffled sound, he finally confirmed that he had heard correctly just now.

There are not many residents in this old community, and there is not even a street light in the community at night. At first, he thought that other residents might have stumbled or knocked at night, but with the With a muffled sound, the uneasiness in his heart expanded.

He got up and walked to the window, slightly opened the curtains, and looked down. Only the dim light of the street lamps on the main road not far away made the scene downstairs show a blurred outline. Qiao Bai saw a The dangling shadow was lying on the ground in a strange posture. He felt a trace of fear almost reflexively. He quickly held his breath and stood stiffly. He looked at the shadow downstairs through the gap in the window until the shadow swayed again. Yoyo seemed to stand up and started to walk elsewhere before he heaved a sigh of relief.

Excessive mental tension made him feel extremely tired, and he didn't have the time to think about what it was, but when he lay back on the bed again, he could still recall the instinctive warning of danger just now, and he would be dazed when he opened his eyes. , After confirming that the feeling of danger disappeared, the nerves that loosened made him fall into a deep sleep again...

And next door to him, a young man with a handsome face was standing by the bedroom window thinking with a cat in his arms.

It was still a scream that woke Qiao Bai from his sleep again. Different from the muffled groan in the middle of the night, this scream pierced the sky clearly.

Qiao Bai straightened up abruptly, and walked towards the window in a panic. When he got out of bed, he even tripped over the corner of the quilt that fell on the ground.

It was already daylight, and after opening the curtains, he could clearly see the scene below. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized it, and suddenly closed the curtains vigorously, and stepped back several steps, "It's that shadow..." Qiao Bai whispered He muttered to himself, his eyes were wide open due to shock.

Not long after, the siren of the police car came from downstairs, and the few residents in the community almost gathered around the central flower bed to discuss. Qiao Bai calmed down and opened the curtains again to look down. In the middle of the night, he saw the shadow Now there is a broken and incomplete corpse. Half of the head of the corpse is gone, and the limbs are not complete. Internal organs, scattered pieces of meat fell around the corpse mixed with dried blood.

Qiao Bai saw that the man who screamed in the morning was talking to the policeman, and he could see his pale and blue face from here, he was probably frightened quite a bit, and some of the onlookers couldn't help but backed away. Somewhere farther away he retched, for some reason, Qiao Bai firmly believed that it had something to do with the strange shadow he saw in the middle of the night.

The arrival of the police was expected by Qiao Bai. There were only a few people in the whole community, and the number of people in Qiao Bai's building was so small that there were only four or five households in the seven floors.

A few policemen obviously did not find any useful clues from the previous residents, and they seemed a little anxious. After all, such a brutal method is not a small case, and if it is not resolved as soon as possible, it may cause great panic among the people.

The time for cross-examination was very short. Qiao Bai thought about it, and told them the strange black shadow he saw last night. When he went out, the leading old policeman gratefully shook Qiao Bai's hand and thanked him. When the little policemen saw it, they quickly followed suit and quickly lined up. Then, one by one, imitating the old policemen, they held Qiao Bai's hand with excitement and shook it vigorously twice before going out.

Qiao Bai: "..." What is the feeling of this meeting with the chairman?

Before he closed the door, he saw them knock on the door of room 306 next door.

In the evening, Qiao Bai was sitting on the sofa watching the evening news, and a report caught his attention. On the screen, several policemen were pressing backhands on a man in some ragged clothes and covered in blood. The man's skin was slightly bluish-purple, and he was in a strange posture. The policeman who kept trying to bite and suppress him.

Reporter: "Patients with strange diseases appear in many places in City C. They are characterized by dull eyes, slow movements, and strong aggressiveness. If you are scratched and bitten by a patient with strange diseases, please go to the hospital for examination and clean up the wounds. Experts express suspicion for the time being. The disease is spread through wounds, please be careful when you go out..."

Qiao Bai watched the news and frowned tightly. City C is not a big city, and with the probability of appearing in many places, Qiao Bai felt that it was very likely that he would run into it after wandering around twice. He was inexplicable. I thought of the broken body found in the community this morning.

On the way to the supermarket the next day, Qiao Bai found that there was not much change in the surrounding atmosphere. There were still people coming and going, but it was obvious that most of the people were traveling in groups and in a hurry. It seemed that there were more news yesterday. People noticed.

There are obviously more people in today's supermarket than in the past. This can be seen from the fact that there is only a straight line in the usual line, but today the line has turned a corner. Buying a bag of noodles is simply not worth it. Thinking of the news, he took snacks, vegetables and cooked food, and stuffed a shopping cart full. "It's better not to go out recently." He sighed and murmured: "Sure enough, I still care..."

By the time Qiao Bai walked out of the supermarket with a few big bags of things and returned to the elevator downstairs, it was almost dark outside. After being baptized by the fresh air along the way, he felt that he had regained his life.

Sure enough, the crowded supermarket still belongs to the enthusiastic aunts.

"Hello" came a clear and smiling voice from behind.

Qiao Bai turned around with a few bags in his hand, and stood in front of him was a handsome young man about 27 or [-] years old. The young man was tall and had a familiar smiling face. He was carrying a few big bags like him, but the difference was that he had There was also a box of instant noodles on the side, Qiao Bai was a little speechless, as if he would not go out for a month.

Due to unfamiliarity, he naturally released his usual pretentious face, making himself look a little noble and glamorous: "Hello".

You Sen directly ignored Qiao Bai's nobleness and glamorousness, and greeted Qiao Bai familiarly: "My name is You Sen, and I live in 306, how about you?"

Qiao Bai felt quite surprised. It turned out that this person was his neighbor who just moved in. Having said that, he had glimpsed him before, no wonder he felt familiar. Seeing the gentle smile of this person, he unconsciously With a warm expression, he said, "My name is Qiao Bai, and I live in 305."

Yousen looked very happy, the elevator door opened, Qiao Bai and Yousen went upstairs together, and Yousen kept grabbing and chatting with him along the way, Qiaobai responded a few words from time to time, most of them were Yousen talking and Qiaobai listening, until they reached the door of the house At that time, Qiao Bai felt that You Sen had an urge to grab him and ask for help. The young man Qiao Bai who was so frightened that he hadn't gotten used to the enthusiasm opened the door very quickly with a calm face, shouted goodbye, and rushed in. In the room, You Sen who was next to him kept looking at him with a smile, and the smile in his eyes deepened after he closed the door.

The author has something to say:

I think the first six chapters can be combined into two or three chapters. The number of words is too small, but there is no way to change it. I will try my best to correct it later.
