末世 二三 事

After noticing this situation, Zhong Xiaohui paid attention.Then he found that the people who left, regardless of gender, were of relatively good physical fitness, which showed that the base was selecting people selectively.

Zhong Xiaohui said: "Among the people who work together, I am physically stronger."

But everyone looked at the thin young man in front of them, and in their eyes, it really had nothing to do with the word "strong".

After Zhong Xiaohui discovered this, he also began to worry that he would also be selected. His instinct told him that this was not a good thing.

Good and bad spirits, after Zhong Xiaohui had such worries in his heart, not long after he was busy, he was about to go back to his place of residence, and several base managers said that he didn't need to go back, and went with them .

Zhong Xiaohui didn't want to go, he refused, but those people insisted strongly that he had to go, he only had time to talk to Zhong Wei and his wife who were working in another field, and then he was forcibly taken away.

The base is divided into inner and outer areas. The outer area is where workers like them live. It is the girls' dormitory before the school. The inner area is only accessible to all the management personnel of the base. It is the boys' dormitory, and the middle is separated by a high wall.Zhong Xiaohui was taken directly into the inner area, and then locked into a dormitory.

In this dormitory, he saw several acquaintances whom he hadn't seen before. Compared with before, these people looked even more desperate. numbness.

Seeing Zhong Xiaohui, a person whose nerves were no longer normal laughed sinisterly: "Another one came in."

Zhong Xiaohui was at a loss, the atmosphere inside was oppressive and lifeless, and his complexion gradually became ugly, knowing that things were developing in the direction he least expected.

The dormitory has four walls, one window and one door. The windows are sealed with iron bars and wooden boards, and the wooden door of the dormitory is replaced with an iron door, leaving only a small window at the top for them to breathe.Nearly ten people were imprisoned in the dormitory, and they all huddled in the farthest corner. Some of them didn't speak, and some of them muttered, but they couldn't hear what they said for a long time.When Zhong Xiaohui came in, it was almost dark, and he wanted to find a corner to hide in, but before he could walk over, the people in the corner told him to get out, even the people he knew before.Zhong Xiaohui could only find a random corner and sit down. After sitting for a while, his stomach started growling. He hadn't even eaten when he got off work, and he was already hungry.

The dormitory was very dark, and only shadowy figures could be seen around.He sat on the ground with his back against the wall, imagining his previous life. Although he didn't say how well he ate, no matter whether he was at home or working outside, he never lacked food and drink, and he would eat meat at least once a day.Ever since he came to this base, he couldn't remember what meat tasted like except gruel or gruel every day.

Just as he was fascinated by his imagination, some people in the dormitory began to cry in despair, and some people fought because they were too manic, and they would not stop beating each other to the point of blood.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhong Xiaohui hugged his knees and just watched with cold eyes.When the dormitory was in a mess, there was a sudden sound of kicking and tapping outside.

The dormitory suddenly became quiet, except for Zhong Xiaohui, everyone started to shrink into the corners, some faced the wall and their backs to the door, some lay down on the ground and curled up in a ball with their heads in their arms, all of them were terrified.

Soon, the sound of kicking stopped by the door, and then a light shone in. Zhong Xiaohui looked up, and his body froze suddenly, not daring to move for a while.

Because he could see clearly that it was not a light at all, the head of a gigantic hideous monster was blocked by the small doorway, and the wandering light was actually its two eyes.

The monster's eyes kept turning around the people in the dormitory, and it made weird sounds from time to time, hissing, and it was extremely terrifying.

Finally, the beam of light from that eye stayed on Zhong Xiaohui's body for a while, and just when he felt his heart was about to stop, the beam of light moved away and stopped on a man not far from him, that man was exactly The side that won the fight just now.

The monster made a sound, and the man immediately shouted: "No!"

The iron door was opened, and the beating candlelight brightened the dark dormitory. Zhong Xiaohui saw a few men standing by the door, and a monster with its head held high. The monster was so big that Zhong Xiaohui couldn't see what it was. what.Next to the monster, there was a gentle man with glasses. He stroked the monster's head, and said to the monster in a gentle tone: "The food has been chosen, can we go back?"

Two people entered the dormitory and dragged the selected man out, his screams were heard all over his ears.Before the iron gate was closed, Zhong Xiaohui saw the monster turn around and follow the man with glasses, dragging a long body behind him.

The sound of kicking footsteps gradually faded away until even the voice of the man who was dragged away could no longer be heard, and the dormitory was still silent.

"Is that... a centipede?" Zhong Xiaohui asked, his voice became hoarse because of being overly nervous, the voice was very small, but because it was too quiet, it was loud enough to startle him.

Naturally no one answered him.

That night, Zhong Xiaohui sat against the wall with his eyes open, and from the man who was dragged away, he seemed to see the end of everyone in the dormitory, including him.

After that, Zhong Xiaohui was locked up for a few more days, and newcomers came in every day. When it got dark, the mutated centipede would come over and choose the food himself.

They are a group of pigs raised in captivity for slaughter.

Zhong Xiaohui even laughed at himself, the pigs were always served with good food and drink, but the group of them only had a bowl of gruel every day.

Zhong Xiaohui was very lucky. After he came in, he was not selected by Centipede for a few days. From his despair at the beginning, he slowly began to feel unwilling.

He wants to escape.

But both sides were sealed, Zhong Xiaohui finally set his sights on the window.

Time was running out, and Zhong Xiaohui started breaking the iron bars and planks that were nailed together in the middle of the night.At first, the people in the dormitory watched him break the iron bars and wooden boards by the window. The person who came in earlier than Zhong Xiaohui but was lucky enough to survive until now, just watched indifferently.It’s not that no one has thought of this method like him, but those iron and wooden strips are so densely nailed that the gap left can’t even fit a little finger into it. It’s simply impossible to open the window with the strength of both hands.

However, Zhong Xiaohui persisted persistently. Ants can steal their lives, let alone him as a human being.He still has parents to take care of, as long as he is not dead, hope will always be there.

Zhong Xiaohui's attachment to life is like a tiny stone thrown into a pool of stagnant water, the ripples are small but endless.Soon, some people who had just been imprisoned for a short time followed him and worked hard together. They forced their fingers into the gap, tore the skin and flesh, but they also held back their silence.

By daybreak, a board had already been broken by them and began to shake.At this moment, everyone began to join the queue for survival.

During the few days of being locked up, Zhong Xiaohui had already learned that there was no one guarding their door, and that when the base sent people in, they only brought people in at night when it was dark, and every day at noon, they also brought people in at regular intervals, so on this day , except when delivering lunch in the base, everyone pretended to be huddled in the corner as usual, and the rest of the time they were breaking these iron strips.

After lunch, they broke off the first piece of wood.After there is a gap, it is easier to break off the seals arranged after that, so the second and third are next. After dark, the escape hatch of the window can already accommodate a thinner person. The person climbed out.

It was getting dark, and the time for the base to send people in was about to come, because it was an estimated time, so Zhong Xiaohui suggested to cover the escape hatch first, and after sending people in today, they would escape again, because after that, they would come from the centipede There was at least half an hour left, which was enough time for all of them to escape from this dormitory.

However, not everyone is as rational as him, especially when they see the hope of life.His proposal was rejected by most of the people, and many people began to scramble to climb out, wanting to be the first to climb out. For this reason, even those who had worked together before, punched and kicked in the blink of an eye.

The movement gradually became louder and louder. Zhong Xiaohui was afraid of being discovered, and at first he could go up to persuade everyone to calm down for a while, but everyone seemed to be crazy. Whoever approached the escape exit would be the target of attack.

Zhong Xiaohui couldn't stop these people, so he could only join the ranks of scrambling for the exit, after all he wanted to live.Relying on his youth and strength, he beat up several people and was the first to climb out of the escape hatch.

Fortunately, the dormitory they were in was on the first floor, and Zhong Xiaohui jumped out directly.As soon as he jumped out, the door of the dormitory was opened, and the base sent people in.

"Someone has escaped!" Some people didn't escape, and they didn't want to see other people's lives. Among the few people who were knocked down by Zhong Xiaohui, some people yelled at the people at the base full of malice.

There are also people who have seen being discovered and feel that there is no hope of escape. Since they will die sooner or later, there is no harm in fighting.

After desperation came madness. Several people rushed towards the people at the base with the wooden planks and iron bars they had broken off.

Except for a few people in these bases, most of them were just ordinary people before. Their force value is higher than most people in the base, and it is only because they have not been hungry and have sufficient physical strength, but now they are facing their dying fight. , and this battle came suddenly again, these people were completely unprepared, and were caught off guard on the spot.

Some people took advantage of the chaos and ran out through the open iron gate.

A sharp whistle sounded suddenly, and a beaten member of the base curled up on the ground, biting the whistle in his mouth, and blew it with all his might.

Zhong Xiaohui was in a bad mood, he knew that there was only one entrance from the inner area to the outer area, and the other places were surrounded by walls, he could only escape from there, and there were people holding hands there.The whistle must have alarmed other people in the base, and he had to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Fortunately, it was dark now, there were no lights on, and this base was not a regular base, and there were few people on patrol and they were lazy. Zhong Xiaohui dodged several groups of people in fear, and saw the wall separating the inner and outer areas from a distance.

He didn't dare to take risks at the door anymore. Taking advantage of the dim moonlight and the open surroundings, he used all his strength to run up, took off, stepped on the wall with a few steps, and successfully climbed up the fence with both hands.

There was glass on the wall, and Zhong Xiaohui's hand was directly scratched by the glass, causing blood to flow.But the desire to survive made him feel no pain. He gritted his teeth and climbed up the wall. When he was about to jump down, there were bursts of screams from the inner area.

He couldn't help but glanced back, and saw a few people who had been locked up with him before, crawling out of the dormitory building under the moonlight, and there were several members of the base inside.

A centipede followed behind them, and the bespectacled man angrily ordered the people around him to stop the centipede.

The centipede was huge, and at the moment it went crazy and attacked everyone except the man with glasses. Zhong Xiaohui also saw that the fangs on both sides of the centipede's giant jaw pierced the body of a member of the base. , tear it in half and eat right where it is.

Watching this scene, Zhong Xiaohui felt a sense of revenge in his heart. If he remembered correctly, it was almost time for the centipede to pick food, but the food escaped.

He smiled strangely and jumped off the wall.
