death to survive

On a cold winter day, when night falls, it should be decorated with neon lights. The city is brightly lit and noisy, but at this moment it looks very deserted and lonely.

The bright lights all over the high-rise buildings are no longer visible, replaced by piles of dots, falling on the city buildings, or the fierce flames burning on the streets, the flames burning extremely vigorously, The licks are devouring the unoccupied buildings, and the black smoke is enveloped around the deathly silent high-rise buildings. This dark night looks especially cold.

On the street, all kinds of cars crowded into a chaotic group, like broken copper and iron, were randomly discarded, collided and squeezed on the side of the road, and even the center of the road was full of vehicles.The trees standing upright on both sides of the road, the original dense leaves have already withered and withered due to the cold winter climate, leaving only their bare, slender and dense branches intertwined in the air, like twisted and entwined Black Fence…

The icy cold wind was raging, and it suddenly hit the ground, sweeping the waste paper garbage accumulated on the gray concrete floor into the sky, and the paper scraps were controlled by the wind to hover in the air, rolling back and forth several times, a piece of The old and yellowed newspapers were brought back to the ground. It was supposed to be the busiest street, but there was no living figure. The fronts of the shops were in a state of disarray, and the smashed glass in front of the shops was shattered. Some of the doorways were covered with splattered brown blood stains, and everything around them seemed extraordinarily quiet, terrifyingly quiet...

It wasn't until the newspaper that was blown to the ground just now was rolled up again by the howling cold wind, rolled and floated in the air, and hit a soft object head-on, that this newspaper suddenly stopped its leap.

"Snapped!".

The newspaper was blown and pasted on the head of a woman whose eyes were dull and white, and the flesh and blood of the entire waist had been eaten away, leaving only the white and red spine supporting it.

However, the woman seemed completely unaware of her face, which was covered by the wind-blown newspaper. She continued to shake her extremely uncoordinated torso unconsciously, swaying crookedly towards the front of the deserted street, stretching Her arm, which had lost several fingers, walked forward aimlessly.

Behind the woman, in the shadows of the unlit street, more and more zombies of different ages, genders, and identities gradually appeared, and they were gradually approaching, wandering on the street at night, non-stop Find the 'food' they want.There is no lighting, only the firelight projected by the burning house on the roadside can clearly show these groups of zombies that are constantly coming out of the darkness, and the number of them is so spectacular that they cannot be counted. Constantly increasing...

Zombies gradually crowded into the street, swaying and walking unconsciously. Zombies who don't usually make noise on purpose, occasionally humming strange screams from their throats, combined with the sharp and howling cold wind, the sound produced, It makes people feel more fear and despair.

In this urban area where zombies are scattered, turn straight to the left, and in the area a few kilometers away, a tall building is standing there quietly. At the door of the lowest building, it has been roughed The long iron chain was firmly locked, and a few scattered zombies were swaying back and forth around the building, and on the top floor of the building, they could occasionally peep inside from the window, and they were shining with unusual lights. Compared with the catastrophic sea of ​​fire and the dark and gloomy buildings around the fire, this unusual light also reveals the difference...

"Huh-huh-I said you guys... Huh-please, can you find a more normal place next time? Huh-huh-letting us climb such a tall building all at once will really kill us... ".

Out of breath, Qiao Feiyu sat down on the ground with limp legs. Qiao Feiyu, who had no elegance at all, and Lin Jie, who was beside him collapsed on the ground, speechless. The two of them didn't know how long it took, and the two who climbed to the top floor suggested very sincerely...

Wang Yang, who had already pried open the door of the high-end private house built by some wealthy people on the top floor, swaggered in, and was dismantling and dismantling the wooden furniture that looked expensive in the living room to use as firewood. burn.

Hearing Qiao Feiyu's words paralyzed at the door, Wang Yang turned his head and patted the remaining wood dregs in his hand, showing an angry smile: "Ha~ No way, who told the city to cut off the electricity, the elevator can't take it, We had to climb up the stairs, it was hard to find such a tall building to hide in, and if we escape, we can use the paraglider at the height of this building, isn’t that good?”.

The paraglider I found by accident, I was worried that I would not have a chance to use it, Xiao Yi directed me to this building, just to try out what it was like to go down with a paraglider.I don't know the reason for this building. It is estimated that the people here have already evacuated. There are basically not many zombies wandering here, and no one is seen inside. After Xiao Yi confirmed the safety of the building, the four found the building. As a temporary shelter, the building went all the way to the top floor to settle down...

Although the water is sure to be there, electricity, gas, etc. are completely useless, and the floor is extremely high. Based on Wang Yang's unexpected improvement in physical fitness, and with Xiao Yi's help, the speed at which the two of them went up to the top floor Naturally, it was much faster than Qiao Feiyu and Lin Jie. When Qiao Feiyu and Lin Jie finally climbed up, Wang Yang had already started a fire with the wood dismantled from the table, even with the pot hanging above the fire. , the water contained has been completely boiled.

Seeing the water boiling, Wang Yang immediately greeted Xiao Yi who was leaning behind him excitedly, and said happily: "Hey! The water is boiling, you can serve dumplings!".

"Okay." The answer was as clear and silent as before, and it was spat out from the mouth behind Wang Yang's back. Turning around, there was a tall and thin man with black hair, pale skin and almost bloodless face. What expression, he held up the board in his hand indifferently.

On the top, there are already many white dumplings of very beautiful shapes and sizes. After sweeping the dumplings into Wang Yang, he turned them over from the kitchen of this high-end private house, and hung them in the pot of boiling water on the fire. After going in, the man with a cold temperament picked up the lid of the pot on the ground beside him, and put it on the pot...

The two people who were lying at the door and panting unevenly, became even more stunned when they saw the behavior of the two people in the living room, and asked almost in unison...

"Why make dumplings?".

"When did you make the dumplings?!".

"Little Qiao, didn't you say that today is the New Year's Eve? I thought we should all have a meal of dumplings together, so that we can have a New Year's atmosphere."

Wang Yang, who has never remembered the time and was completely blind, only realized that today is New Year's Eve when he heard Qiao Feiyu muttering to himself while looking at the calendar posted on the side of the road a few days ago. One day is always a festive day for everyone to gather and celebrate. Wang Yang didn't want to spend it casually this year, so he planned this dumpling dinner in the evening.

"Uh... Where did you get your materials?" Qiao Feiyu knew that Wang Yang was a person with a high speed of movement, but he didn't expect such a speed. How did the juicy dumplings come from?You must know that dumplings are food, even if you go to those supermarkets that have not been swept away, you can't find it anymore. Because there is no electricity supply in the freezer, the food inside has already melted and rotted, and it is not edible at all...

"Wow! And Coke!".

Sharp-eyed spotted the shape of a half-bottle of cans exposed in a big bag next to Wang Yang. Lin Jie's physical strength instantly revived, but his legs were weak but he crawled all the way over with his limbs firmly on the ground, and he dug out the cans from the bag. , opened it and took a big sip: "Phew~ It's been a long time since I drank this stuff. It turns out that today is Chinese New Year. No wonder I want to eat dumplings. There are quite a lot of things in this bag, and there are so many canned food !" While drinking Coke, Lin Jie was pleasantly surprised as he pulled the bag and continued to check, and found that there were more exciting foods inside... "Didn't you pay attention to the supermarket below when you came up? I can't remember exactly What floor is it, anyway, there is a supermarket, so Xiao Yi and I searched for these foods. Today, let’s celebrate and celebrate. As for these dumplings, we only found them in the supermarket and they haven’t expired yet. The flour, the inside and the stuffing, because I can’t find fresh ingredients in a while, so I made it from canned meat and other foods.”.

In a city full of zombies, it is actually not easy to find these foods.

Wang Yang grinned optimistically, and continued to talk: "But don't worry, the dumplings are all made by Xiao Yi himself, and the taste is guaranteed to be as delicious as those made with fresh fillings." He stretched out his hand cheerfully, Xiao Yi, who was still making dumplings behind him to supply four big men, dragged him over with his arms around his neck. Wang Yang proudly showed off Xiao Yi's skills, but he was absolutely top-notch don't brag...

Xiao Yi, whose heads were surrounded by Wang Yang who was overwhelmed, came close to each other, didn't say anything, just moved his head slightly in silence, turned in a direction, turned his head and kissed Wang Yang, and wanted to continue to say something Wang Yang couldn't help being taken aback by this sudden attack, he wanted to hide or not, but he was forced to let Xiao Yi twirl in his mouth to take advantage of it, and then he gave up. Turning his head back, he continued to wrap the dumplings in his hands with a normal expression.

On the other hand, Wang Yang raised his arms, wiped his lips casually, looked up and saw Qiao Feiyu and Lin Jie who were looking at him, raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Damn! It's beautiful with hair! Roll over and chop wood together to make a fire !”.

"Ahem, I can see it every day, and I don't really want to see it." Who told them that the two of them were too outspoken, Qiao Feiyu rubbed his nose, and felt that he was really wronged by being forced to watch...

"I didn't look at anything." Turning his head to the side, Lin Jie, who was used to the interaction between the two, raised his head calmly and continued, drank the last sip of Coke in the can, then threw the soda can casually, shaking his body Moved over and helped Wang Yang pick up the torn pieces of wood on the ground... The hot dumplings were all cooked and scooped into the high-end dining bowls that Wang Yang dug out from the kitchen, because the wooden table It was demolished violently, and there was no lighting nearby, so a few people sat cross-legged around a fire made of table wood, warming themselves by the fire in this cold night, while relying on the reflection of the fire, eating bowls in their hands There were hot dumplings inside, and on the marble floor beside them, there was a large pile of opened lids, various types of cans, beer, and some unexpired snacks.

Influenced by Wang Yang's encouragement, they changed from being used to tasting all kinds of high-end famous wines to now drinking a few yuan a bottle of beer together happily. The taste in their mouths is indeed as good as Wang Yang's show off, and Xiao Yi's package is delicious. Incomparable dumplings, Qiao Feiyu couldn't help sighing happily: "Wang Yang, you really found a good husband, who can be on the battlefield and in the kitchen, not bad~ not bad~".

Wang Yang, who was almost choked on beer by Qiao Feiyu's words, put the wine in his hand and gestured to Qiao Feiyu with his middle finger: "Damn it! What husband? I ate a mouthful of dumplings, why can't I stop you?" This mouth?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm still shy." Qiao Feiyu nodded and responded as if he understood very well, but there was a hint of teasing in his peach blossom eyes...

"Shame on you, uncle!" He wanted to greet Qiao Feiyu's family well, but when he saw Xiao Yi who had gone to the kitchen to help him find a big bowl of dumplings, and sat down beside him, Wang Yang decided not to take this The topic continued, and then turned to talk about other things: "Speaking of which, didn't you meet a beautiful woman with a protruding front and a curvy back a few days ago? Where did she go?".

They were on the street a few days ago, and Qiao Feiyu rescued a pretty good-looking woman. The two of them seemed to have a good chat, but one didn't pay attention, and the woman didn't show up again. Wang Yang thought that Qiao Feiyu would bring her walking with that woman.

"Oh—don't mention it." Qiao Feiyu shook his head and sighed when he heard Wang Yang's question...

After chatting, the woman learned that she was still a dance teacher, with a really good figure and a good personality. Although for Qiao Feiyu, who had seen many beautiful men and women before, this woman was not as good as the ones he had met before. Humans are not considered outstanding, but among the vast zombies, it is very rare to meet a normal woman with good looks, especially when the window period has been empty for a long time and is lonely and unbearable. For him who is blind of the same sex in front of him, this is even more rare luck...

It's a pity that his luck value didn't last for too long, and he was suddenly messed up by a group of mutated zombies crawling out of the alley. The zombie that climbed down was lifted to the top of the wall by grabbing the side of the shoulder in its mouth. By the time Qiao Feiyu wanted to rescue it, it was too late...

He only saw the bright red blood dripping down from the sky and splashing all over the ground. He couldn't take care of himself. At that time, he could only cheer up and deal with the mutated zombies crawling towards him, and he habitually cooperated with Wang Yang. Xiao Yi and the others started to run and deal with the zombies. When they got rid of the zombies and took a rest, they had already walked far away from the place where the woman was attacked just now. In the end, they couldn't even remember the woman's corpse. Qiao Feiyu reckoned that the woman was either eaten up by those hungry mutated zombies, or she would also be transformed into one of the zombies.

In short, until now, Qiao Feiyu is still left alone, and the only thing to be thankful for is that Lin Jie, who is drinking Coke and eating dumplings beside him, is the same person who is alone and lonely with him. This made Qiao Feiyu feel a little more balanced...

So, he turned his head and looked at Lin Jie with the sympathetic eyes of the same degenerate people in the world, and said slowly: "Fortunately, there is you alone, and you also accompany me to spend the holiday alone. But...we are all drinking, why are you the only one?" Drinking Coke alone? Aren’t you an adult yet? Still drinking that thing that kills sperm?”.

"Che--Xiao Qiao, do you believe in those rumors? I don't like alcohol, I just like to drink Coke. What's wrong? I feel very comfortable being single or something. I don't look like you. The way I look now is simply An uncle who is dissatisfied with his desires." Squinting at Qiao Feiyu with contempt, Lin Jie replied in a disdainful tone, for Qiao Feiyu, who still wants to pick up girls all the time in the crisis environment full of zombies, he is speechless...

"Okay, stop arguing, today is a happy day, let's toast!" Wang Yang, who had already drank several bottles of beer boldly, was somewhat alcoholic, and under the firelight, his smile was still sunny and cheerful. , Seeing the two people beside him who still like to bicker, he first raised the wine in his hand, raised it to the middle and shook it, motioning for everyone to clink glasses together, forget about troubles for a while, let's celebrate this festival well...

The people sitting by the fire finally stopped bickering and nonsense, raised the wine or drinks in their hands together, and lightly bumped into each other in the air...

When the bottles in the hands of the four touched together, the outside world was still in chaos, and the darkness seemed to be filled with all kinds of unknown dangers. In this night's festival, there were no lively fireworks, firecrackers and firecrackers that should have been in the past. , but at this moment we can gather together on the top floor, sit around the fire and celebrate together, and I can still feel the warmth flowing through my heart...

The corners of Wang Yang's mouth were raised, and he gave a big smile. His neat and white teeth were exposed. He slammed the wine bottle that the four of them had collided together again, and with a hearty smile, he blessed: "Happy New Year! Our new year, safe and sound! Happy!"

Responding blessings came from everyone’s mouths, saying in unison, the chaotic, thrilling and exciting year has just passed, and they have no way of knowing what will happen tomorrow, and they only hope that in the days to come, they can continue to be happy To survive, no matter how bad the surrounding environment is...
