apocalyptic cave life

After washing the dishes, Xie Gaowen came up to take a look. There was no need to discuss, both of them felt that it was better to retreat outside the door and sleep between the two iron gates than to sleep in the darkness with no light at all.

Zhang Shu stopped the generator, Xie Gaowen pushed aside the bricks beside the earthen stove, added a few large pieces of wood, and spread the floor with newspapers, and the two slept by the fire.

Zhang Shu came home from school without a single piece of clothing, only a backpack that could serve as a pillow. He slept on the newspaper in bursts of cold.

I was exhausted and nervous this day, and I was not in the mood to talk and chat at all, and each had their backs to the fire.

The wound didn't hurt so much, Zhang Shu couldn't help touching it again, this time, there was no "voice" beyond understanding.

Zhang Shu thought it was an auditory hallucination before, curled up into a ball, did not remove his finger from touching it, and fell asleep in a daze.

——What kind of monster are you...?

(Monster? I am human, what are you? Alien?)

——Why are there so many questions?You just need to obey my words and quickly improve your insignificant cultivation base.

(Cultivation? Improvement? What did you say?)

——How could I come across something that is intelligent but so stupid?

Suddenly, Dr. Zhang appeared in front of Zhang Shu with a swollen face.

——You can improve your cultivation by killing similar zombies.

(why?)

——You just have to follow orders!Don't ask why!

(why?)

——If you don’t kill them, you will be the one who dies!

(I'm safe, I live in a cave.)

——There is a cave?

(what?)

— you must go!

(why?)

The "opponent" didn't respond anymore, but Zhang Shu just had the feeling that he had been pissed off by his "why".

After a while.

——Your cultivation base is too low, I can't summon you yet, remember, quickly kill the zombies you can find, and you can quickly improve your cultivation base!

(do not understand what you're saying?)

--and many more.

Zhang Shu woke up, Xie Gaowen leaned over to look at him, holding a very old military overcoat in his hand, seeing that he woke up, he said embarrassedly: "You are too cold, just cover it up."

Zhang Shu mumbled "Mmm" in a daze, Xie Gaowen went back to the fire, there was a sound of newspapers.

Xie Gaowen is not bad...

——Xie Gaowen?Zombies and ghosts also have names?

(what's your name?)

—I am your master.

(That doesn't count as a name.)

——You should call me master, you already have my seal on you.

(It turned out that you did it. How did you do it? It’s too much to casually hurt others.)

—Would... be angry?

(certainly!)

——I have never heard of it. Could it be that I have been deceived?

(Who lied to you?)

—Would you be... happy?

(Pleasure? You mean happy? Why happy?)

—Because you have a master.

(are you crazy!?)

- Angry again, extremely irritable, spiritual sense is not bad, right?In this way, I should be successful, but what if I am disobedient...

(what are you talking about?)

——Don't worry about what I say, just remember that you have to go outside the cave and kill the zombies!

(It’s really sick! Fighting zombies to improve combat power or something, that’s a game!)

——What is the game?

(How can someone not even know the game? Which planet are you from?)

--star?ball?It's not easy talking to fools.

(Hey!)

The "dialogue" ended here, and Zhang Shu couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or hearing hallucinations after he woke up. If he hadn't turned into a zombie, he still had a lot of things to do.

Go home and get the charged mobile phone battery, and then find a way to go to K City to find your parents.

Zhang Shu was busy, and Xie Gaowen was also busy, but he didn't tell Zhang Shu what he was busy with. Zhang Shu didn't use the money in his trouser pocket, so he gave back to Xie Gaowen what Xie Gaowen handed to him the day before.

Xie Gaowen cooked noodles for breakfast. After eating, the two of them came out together. It is estimated that there is no key provided outside. Zhang Shu hesitated for a while, and put the key back on the door of the hut in front of Xie Gaowen, so that no matter who comes back first, he can Going into the cave, it was also agreed that if the door needs to be locked, the key will still be put back in this position.

Standing inside the iron gate, it is very convenient to reach the gap in the door with one arm stretched out.

When saying goodbye at the intersection, Xie Gaowen rode away on a three-wheeler, saying to find something useful to come back, Zhang Shu looked at his back a little puzzled.

He was not familiar with this place, so he was not afraid of running into zombies when he was driving around?

The two of them are just companions, so it’s not good to ask too many questions because they are not relatives. In Xie Gaowen’s opinion, the small Zhang Shu is the one who needs to be more careful. long sticks.

When Zhang Shu returned home, he took his mobile phone and dialed all the numbers in the phone book, but no one got through, not even his cousin answered the phone.

When he didn't know what to do next, Zhang Shu suddenly heard the sound of the door closing in the corridor, and the sound of the key hitting the door.

A person in a unit, who can’t be called by his full name but can at least recognize his face, Zhang Shu opened the door and stood on the stairs to look down, and saw the old lady living downstairs holding the key chain hanging around her neck to open the door.

Zhang Shu was relieved, and hurriedly called: "Grandma Wang!"

The old lady turned her head upwards and looked at Zhang Shu in an abnormal posture——

Zhang Shu's heart skipped a beat, and the next sentence choked in his throat. The old lady let go of the key, and "climbed" up the stairs by grabbing the railing, with her skinny fingers spread out like chicken claws to prop herself up on the ground, using both hands and feet.

Zhang Shu rushed home, closed the door, heard the sound of crawling in the corridor through the door, and thought frightenedly: Xie Gaowen never said that zombies do not come out during the day!He is so careless!Now!Now I'm stuck in the house!

There was a scratching sound on the door, and Zhang Shu didn't even have the courage to go to the cat's eye to look out, so he ran to the kitchen and took a fruit knife and stood facing the door.

Mrs. Wang kept patting, scratching and scratching at the door, accompanied by strange guttural sounds.

Zhang Shu stood for half an hour before his heartbeat stabilized.

Although it is not an anti-theft door, the iron door seems to be able to block it, so I want to find a way to escape.

Factory thieves in such a small place don’t come, almost every balcony is not sealed, it’s better to climb down the balcony.

Zhang Shu went to the balcony and estimated the distance between each floor. It shouldn't be difficult, but when everyone hung on the outside of the balcony and looked down at the balcony, he froze.

Downstairs is Mrs. Wang's house. Her wife is sitting in a wicker chair on the balcony, surrounded by a swarm of flies, with her eyes closed. She doesn't know if she is dead or a zombie.

Zhang Shu didn't dare to go down any more, so he looked up helplessly. His house was on the fifth floor, and the old house had only six floors, and the next floor was the roof. Mrs. blocked.

Zhang Shu had no choice but to turn back to the house. When he heard movement in the room, Mrs. Wang, who had calmed down a little, started making a fuss again.

Zhang Shu was at his wit's end, he sat on the ground blankly and covered his ears.

Maybe she will leave if she can't hear the voice for a long time?

I do not know how long it has been……

——Can’t even deal with a mere monster?

Again.

——How did you become spiritually aware?

do not understand at all.

——How to survive in the devil world without killing monsters?

If there is a counterparty, the other party seems to hear what he didn't say, and asks the question in a different way.

(I haven't even killed a chicken.)

——Could it be that you came in the form of devil blood?

Zhang Shu thought: He doesn't play many games!It doesn't make sense that auditory hallucinations will hear such things that seem to be said by game NPCs.

——It's a game again. Could it be that the Demon Realm treats killing as a game?

Hearing the sound of nails scraping against the iron door, Zhang Shu gritted his teeth slowly.

—killed her.

(To shut up!)

—kill her!

(I know her!)

After a moment of silence, the other party said:

——Kill her, and I will give you a reward.

Inexplicably, Zhang Shu ignored the voice, touched the fruit knife pinned to his belt again, tiptoed close to the door, and looked through the cat's eyes.

There used to be a ghost story about the cat's eyes. When the person in the story looked through the cat's eyes, the ghost was looking at him.

Zhang Shu was even ready to see the blood-red pupils, but there was nothing outside the door, only the empty corridor.

—a missed opportunity.

Zhang Shu suddenly remembered that he didn't put his hands near the strange wound on his waist at this time, why?

——I need to practice, how can I talk to you through spiritual consciousness all day long.

After making up his mind, Zhang Shu asked: What is your name?My name is Zhang Shu, I have already told you, it is up to you to say your name.

It was just an auditory hallucination, so Zhang Shu told the other party his name indifferently.

——Yunjiu.

It really is a very NPC name.

The sound disappeared. Zhang Shu waited for a few minutes, but there was no sound outside the door, and Mrs. Wang was never seen in the cat's eyes. He held the handle on the iron door, turned it lightly, and opened it.

The old lady with mottled black spots on her face was squatting at the door. The moment Zhang Shu saw her, she rushed towards her with a strange cry. Zhang Shu hurriedly closed the door, but he was a step too slow. Grabbing Zhang Shu's trouser legs, he stretched his neck as hard as he could, like a hungry beast, using all his strength to bite off a piece of Zhang Shu's body.

An old lady has so much strength!

Zhang Shu's leg was forced by her to get close to the foul-smelling mouth.

Zhang Shu originally wanted to close the door, but there was no way to push the old lady out. Instead, he would be pulled over and bit him!

—kill her!

Do not!

—kill her! !

Do not! !

—kill her! ! !

She opened her mouth so horribly that it seemed to be ripped open on both sides just to bite down!

Zhang Shu's mind was stunned, and his ears were roared by the sound of "Kill her", he swung the fruit knife in his hand and chopped it down...
