the beginning of the end

"Perfume." Mu Jianguo first thought, usually Zhang Feng likes to dress up, and he helped buy a lot of cosmetics. Last time his wife was pregnant, he bought a bottle of very strong perfume to please her. He didn't pay attention to how he piled it up, but he felt that the smell was very strong. His wife usually likes to go out to show off, so he was afraid that others would not know what he bought, so he bought it.

"Is that okay?" Mu Qiangguo stared at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and nodded.

"Honey, where did you put the perfume I bought for you last time?" Mu Jianguo asked Zhang Feng.

"It's in the cabinet next to the bed." Zhang Feng said softly.

"I'll get it." Mu Jianguo quietly went to the room to find out the perfume. Everyone sprayed it all over. The strong pungent smell could suffocate people to death. Sure enough, the perfume is fragrant enough. After spraying a bottle, Zhang Feng I still felt unsafe, so I found out the insecticide at home and sprayed it vigorously on myself, and then sprayed it on others in turn, hoping that the mixed smell would kill the mice directly.

The old lady Mu was so anxious that she scolded her for committing crimes in a low voice, a pregnant woman sprayed some chemicals.Zhang Fengcai didn't care what she said, and used all his strength on his body.

Although it is possible to resist the sense of smell of the mutated mice, the smell will dissipate. As long as there is any movement, they will be discovered quickly. It is impossible to stay here forever and wait for death. Today is a mutated mouse, tomorrow, and other animals that have disappeared , Have they all mutated? Shen Xi felt that they had to escape and go to relatively sparsely populated places. Those places were not densely populated and would not become targets of attack. At least, they would not become chaotic as soon as the city moved. The chances of escaping are also much greater.

Shen Xi felt that if the animals were all mutated as he thought, it would not be very safe to go anywhere, not to mention taking so many people with him now, would they be willing to go.He has to discuss it with Mu Qiangguo, and a decision will be made on this matter tomorrow morning.

When the movement outside stopped, it was already dark, and there was a "squeak" sound at the entrance of the corridor, but fortunately, the door of their house did not ring, and the mutated mice did not break in. The smell on their bodies really covered them up. However, the few women were too scared to make any big moves. When they were hungry at night, they only filled their stomachs with the uneaten porridge that they had made at noon. Mu Jianguo was still hot.

It was late at night, and after witnessing what happened in the afternoon, no one dared to close their eyes, let alone go to the room to sleep alone. Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi had obviously become the backbone of the family. It's hard to go back to the room to sleep, so I had to go to the room and take out the quilt to cover my body. Shen Xi hugged his son and occupied the most comfortable position on the sofa. He is becoming more and more proficient in coaxing his son to sleep now, much better than before Lots of time to take care of my son.

"Will these mice come tomorrow?" Mu Jianguo looked at his elder brother and whispered.

"Yes, it may never disappear." Mu Qiangguo gave him no hope at all.

"Then what should we do?" Mu Jianguo excitedly said, "It's impossible to hide from them forever. If we stay in the room without eating or drinking and don't dare to make any big noises, then if we don't get killed by rats, the whole family will be killed first." starving."

"Let's leave here tomorrow." Mu Qiangguo had listened to Shen Xi's thoughts just now, and the two of them discussed it.

"Leave." Zhang Feng said in fear: "There are so many rats outside." She didn't want to go out, it was much safer to stay at home, why did she go out to die.

"Brother, is there really no other way?" Mu Qiangguo thought for a while, he is not a fool, he seems to have touched the idea of ​​the elder brother.

Mu Qiangguo shook his head.

"Leave here, where can we go?" Mu Jianguo muffled.

"Let's go back to Bazi Village." The old lady Mu said, who had never spoken.

"Go back to my hometown." Mu Jianguo said in surprise, he really didn't expect that there was another hometown to go back to.

Mu Qiangguo went back to visit the grave with Mrs. Mu during the Ching Ming Festival last year. He also asked someone to repair the old house at home. The terrain of Bazi Village is relatively low, and there are no mountains around. The whole area is in a "concave" shape.There is soil and a reservoir there, and the village is in the middle. If all the surrounding walls are built, it will be really easy to resist the attacks of those animals, except for those that can fly and make holes.

Shen Xi knew that Bazi Village was the place where Mu Qiangguo lived when he was a child, but he had never been there, and he didn't know what the terrain was like and whether it was suitable for living.

Facing his questioning eyes, Mu Qiangguo told him carefully about the situation in his hometown, and finally, Shen Xi nodded in agreement.

But another problem came up. There were so many of them, it was impossible to walk there, and they had to need a vehicle—a car, which couldn’t fit in an ordinary car, so we had to find a bigger car. After all, Bazicun was still far away from here. .

Their own Hummer is in the space, and it is impossible to use it now, so they have to go out to find a car, and drive out of the city early before the people outside can react, so that the road will be better Walk.

And now that the outside temperature has risen, although the road is a little congested due to the previous chaos, if you drive out of the city, you should not encounter obstacles.

Several men discussed it, and Zhang Feng's younger brother, Zhang Wei, remained silent again. Shen Xi gave him a cold look and said nothing. Mu Jianguo was a little embarrassed, but he was willing to help find a car. The surroundings are familiar, and it is much easier to find a car, so after discussion, Mu Qiangguo took Mu Jianguo to look for a car when it was slightly bright, and Shen Xi and Zhang Wei stayed to protect the women and children in the house.

Before dawn, Mu Qiangguo led his younger brother Mu Jianguo to open the anti-theft door and went downstairs quietly. Although the people who stayed were worried and nervous, they still cheered up and started to pack their things. Food and water are must-have items. There are some clothes and miscellaneous things that Shen Xi asked to reduce and reduce, and they still packed three big bags, all of which must be brought.

Shen Xi stared at them after finishing packing. He went to the room and took out his and Mu Qiangguo's backpacks. By the way, he packed water and food in the space. From this moment on, his son Mu Xibao planned to keep his son Mu Xibao with him every step of the way. , except for Mu Qiangguo, he didn't believe in letting anyone take care of him.

Mu Qiangguo and the others came back not long after they went there. The road was safe and there was no danger. Except for the occasional screams, they knew that the mutant mice had not left and disappeared, and they were still searching for humans to kill.

The area they were looking for was very close, and they were lucky, so they found a bus in a small repair station 300 meters away from the community. The car-stealing technique learned when a strong country was a soldier.

But when he thought about going downstairs, he would still have to walk for a while, fearing that he might encounter mutant mice on the road, Zhang Feng was a little afraid to go, and Mu Jianguo's persuasion was useless.

"You can stay by yourself if you don't go." Mu Qiangguo said harshly.

Zhang Feng stopped talking, and didn't say she wouldn't leave, let alone her husband persuaded her to be obedient and honest.

Shen Xi considered that he might encounter danger later, so he rummaged through his bag. In fact, he took out a few short knives that he bought earlier from the space. They were not very heavy but practical, and distributed them to everyone one by one. , one hand.

Except for Mu Qiangguo, everyone looked at him like a monster, especially Zhang Wei was a little jealous of him.

After getting ready, Mu Qiangguo led the way with two bags of things on his back, and Shen Xi behind him also carried a bag of things. In the middle, Mrs. Mu was holding Da Ya, Mrs. Zhang was supporting Zhang Feng, and finally followed by Mu Jianguo and Zhang Wei were behind.

Everyone didn't speak, and their steps were very light without making a sound.
