Chapter 3 - sentient beings

“thump, thump”

“creak, creak”

“Wow, wow”

Horrific growls, bumps, and door scratches came from outside the door. A young man in his early twenties was sweating profusely while dialing the phone anxiously in the room. A sound of electronic sound came, making his already uneasy mood even more tangled.

“Answer the phone… Ruoxin, answer the phone quickly!”

The classmates and neighbors who shared the rent had all turned into zombies at this time. Should he be thankful that everyone came home from school yesterday evening and crowded in the living room to have dinner together? Fortunately, he woke up early and realized something was wrong and hid in the bedroom, otherwise, he might have been rushed in and bitten by the zombies of his classmates and roommates like the couple in the small bedroom opposite the door, and assimilated into zombies!

But what makes him anxious now is that the person on the other side of the phone hasn’t answered his call all day.

Maybe she dropped the phone in a panic. Maybe she too… no, no, it’s absolutely not!

The boy stood up suddenly, walked to the window a few steps and looked straight at the university campus not far away. She is in that school, even if she will die, even if she will be bitten by a zombie and assimilated into a zombie… Then before she dies, she must be confirmed to be safe!

Even though, she didn’t know his feelings for her at all…

“Ah! You’re crazy, crazy! Don’t come here, don’t come here! Throw him out!” The man yelled restlessly, as if he didn’t realize that his screams made the zombies outside the door even more excited like.

This is just because – in front of him, beside him, there is a zombie and a lunatic!

The woman wrapped her hands in cloth strips, endured the pain of bleeding from the wound on her arm, bit her lip tightly, and with her eyes straight, used a simple rope to wrap a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy around, around, and around. He was tied tightly, but the boy’s strength was obviously great, his eyes were straight, blood was overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and there were shocking fragments of flesh and blood in his mouth—it was from the injured woman.

“Where are the ropes? Pass me those few ropes.” With great difficulty, the woman tightly bound the boy’s arms, and stretched out her hand to the terrified man over there. The blood on that hand was absolutely terrifying—all It comes from a woman.

The man shook his head, his movements were light and slow at first, and then became violent and crazy. His eyes were red, and he pointed at the woman in front of him and couldn’t help shouting: “You are crazy! Look at your injuries! You , You will become a zombie after being bitten by a zombie for a while…”

The woman suddenly turned her head, and stared at her husband with vicious eyes like a wounded wolf: “He is my son! He is our son! I will tie him up so that he will not bite others. The hospital must have a solution. This disease must be cured!”

The man looked at his wife with the eyes of a madman, and pointed to the zombie child whose face was covered in blood and struggling desperately: “Look at it, look at what it looks like! Look at those, those things outside. , You still say that it looks like a person? Crazy, unreasonable, simply unreasonable! The child can still live after death, you, you…” Halfway through the sentence, the man suddenly found that his wife was in a trance, and the whole person was shaking After a few moments, it suddenly occurred to her that she had been bitten by the son of the zombie just now, and it was more than one bite!

Regardless of whether her trance was caused by excessive blood loss, or people who were really bitten by zombies would also become zombies, this family can’t stay here anymore!

The zombies in the corridor became more excited because they smelled the blood, they scratched desperately at the door, this home may be rushed in by those horrible things at any time!

Thinking of this, the man suddenly turned around and ran back to the bedroom with an ugly face. He had to find a way to save himself. He had to get out of here before his wife woke up as a zombie!

————————

“Grandma, I’m afraid…”

“Hey, Xunxun is not afraid, there is grandma here.” A middle-aged woman in her fifties hugged her four or five-year-old grandson tightly in her arms, and looked in the direction of the door with a look of horror in her eyes. He and his daughter-in-law haven’t come back…they hadn’t arrived home when the accident happened yesterday. At this time, there were two zombies wandering in the corridor.

In this case, even if the son and daughter-in-law are still alive, it may be difficult to return home and rescue themselves and Xunxun…

At this time, she secretly rejoiced more than once, because Xun Xun had a bit of a cold two days ago, and she didn’t take her grandson out to play as usual yesterday afternoon, otherwise, she might be like the neighbors downstairs now, As soon as I wake up, I will be attacked by those things.

TV, novels and other things are now highly popular, so that even older aunts can get in touch with new things. In order to keep her from getting too bored while spending time at home, her son bought her a smartphone and tablet computer, and copied a lot of TV series, movies and novels into it. Because her son was lazy, he copied all the messy novels he usually read in one breath, so she woke up, heard the door, and saw the two people in the corridor through the cat’s eyes. The first time they realized that they might be zombies, that’s why they didn’t open the door rashly!

And now…

There were only two zombies in the corridor. If they were allowed to continue like this, they might break down the door of their own house at some point. If the sound of their knocking on the door attracts zombies from other floors, it will be even more troublesome…

Thinking of this, she suddenly got up, placed her little grandson in the big bed in the bedroom, and said: “Xunxun, be good, don’t go to the ground by yourself, don’t open the bedroom door if you don’t hear grandma’s voice, don’t cry, don’t make trouble, grandma will wait a while.” Just come back!” She is in good health, and she retired early just to care for her grandchildren at home, and now she is the only adult in the family, so she has to take responsibility and plan for the future!

Walking into the kitchen and looking around, she picked up a thick rolling pin with a length of more than one meter and a thick knife for chopping bones that she bought specially for rolling noodles, took a deep breath, and walked to the front door of the living room…

———————

“Mr. Zhang, the target has been found, the target has been found, and the target has been confirmed to have turned into a zombie!”

The voice on the walkie-talkie made the expression of the middle-aged man in the bulletproof car freeze, and then he took a few deep breaths and said to the person on the other side of the walkie-talkie: “Bring him back… try not to hurt him.”

The person opposite obviously hesitated, but he still gritted his teeth and said: “Mr. Zhang, you are also aware of the current situation. If we want to forcibly capture a zombie alive, it will not be an easy task, especially if there are…”

“I know! Bring him back first! Protect him, tie him up and gag his mouth, just don’t hurt him. I have several channels in my hand, so I can get a sufficient amount of military|firearms|weapons, etc. Rescue my son and we will go get things, you will follow me in the future, it is definitely better than fighting with those monsters in this inexplicable world!”

One zombie is exchanged for a batch of weapons that can arm them all, which one is more cost-effective? What’s more, the current world has changed drastically because of these sudden zombification, and acting with such a well-connected boss who has special resources in his hands… Isn’t it just a zombie? How many did they kill while protecting the boss? As long as it is fixed, what’s wrong with keeping its claws and teeth from hurting people?

The commander made up his mind after a little thought, and waved to the people around him. This group of veterans and active bodyguards who moved quickly and had extremely high lethality quickly rushed into the villa—all except the target zombies All the zombies were cleared up, not a single one was left behind!

—————————

On the roof of a slab building, a group of survivors who escaped from their homes looked desperately at a building not far away. That building was less than 20 or 30 meters away from the building they were in, and what made people shudder at this moment was—it was burning, burning violently!

The fire caused by some unknown means involved all the combustibles in the whole building at once. Because it is an old community, there are a lot of combustibles in the corridors and in the fences outside the windows, plus the aging gas pipes, once the fire ignites, its momentum will suddenly become unstoppable!

“What should we do? What should we do now? Zombies are coming in!” A thin man was the first to collapse, pointing to the passage they had just climbed up, which was almost full of zombies from the entire building. , They don’t need to be able to climb ladders, as long as zombies pile up zombies, they will be able to squeeze to the top of the building sooner or later!

There is no food, no water, and some people even wake up in pajamas and underwear! He didn’t even have the most basic self-defense weapons, so he was stuck on the roof like this.

“Look! What are the people in that building going to do?” A young girl suddenly pointed to the roof of Building No. 4, which was separated by a road from their Building No. The distance between the buildings is closer, I don’t know who up there came up with a way to throw a rope-like thing on the roof of the second building opposite, trying to climb up to the second building through the rope-like thing The roof of the building.

“Rope, rope, who brought the rope!”

“No!”

“Waist, belt, okay?”

“Don’t move! This is my curtain!”

“Husband, husband!”

“boom-!”

There was a loud noise that shook the sky, and the whole building seemed to shake. The huge air wave actually pushed several people standing by the side of the building directly down, and there was a scream, and they fell to the bottom of the building. The people in the group of zombies didn’t fall to their death for a while, but they were also swarmed by those zombies, and there was no more movement…

“That, that building exploded!”

“Fire, fire is coming!”

As the pipeline exploded, the fire started from a building, and it couldn’t wait to spread in all directions…
