Chapter 22 - rain

After leaving the park, Wei Xuan pulled Du Hang around the air conditioner outdoor unit that he had noticed in the park before, which was hanging obliquely on the high-rise and might fall off at any time. Silently pray that there will be no accidents, so that you can go back smoothly.

He needs to go back quickly to confirm the situation before he can arrange his schedule later—after all, the rain after the earthquake will last for two full days.

————————

In high-rise residential areas, you can see large cracks on the ground, bricks, stones, flower pots, drying racks and other sundries that have fallen from upstairs.

Five or six people held various weapons assembled by themselves, and walked through the ruins with some difficulty. Because of the earthquake, about half of the zombies that were wandering in the community ran out of the community! After observing the specific situation from upstairs, the group found that most of the remaining zombies in the community are isolated on the side of some bricks and collapsed buildings, and the gate of their building is just collapsing the other side!

People who are used to collective action these days discussed it and decided to take this opportunity to go down to find some supplies and water, so as to get more supplies for the few survivors to survive.

The ground floors of the buildings on the side of the street in this community are all ground-level merchants, but these ground-level merchants basically only do business for the residents of their own community, because their stores are basically surrounded by walls, and people outside even if they see there are shops here. You need to go around the gate to enter, which is troublesome. Now, on the contrary, it is because of this kind of trouble that most of the bottom shops in this high-rise community have escaped the fate of being ransacked by the survivors who escaped in the past.

“X, what kind of broken house is this? Look at that building! The row of balconies were all shaken down by the earthquake!” After clearing away the zombies at the gate, one person couldn’t help but walk on a relatively safer road. The living pointed to a building not far away and complained.

“That’s not bad, at least none of the balconies in our building fell down?” The other person couldn’t help but peek at the ruins, who were separated by the ruins more than ten meters away, roaring excitedly and couldn’t help The zombies waving their arms, “Let’s hurry up!”

A man walking in the back suddenly asked in a low voice to an aunt in her fifties, “Grandma Yu, what are you going to do next?”

The woman named Grandma Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and sighed helplessly: “I don’t know, this time I have to find something to eat and go back, what else can I do? You young people don’t have the energy to run outside even if you want to! You can’t even drive a car.”

The man looked left and right, and then glanced at the few people in front: “I heard that Xiao Liu Xiaosun and the others are going out of the city. The safe base mentioned on the radio is very close to our T city. Before the end of the world, you only need to drive out of the city.” You can get there in half an hour… Your strength has become so great now, even if you take your little Xunxun with you, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Grandma Yu smiled helplessly again, shook her head and said, “Let’s talk about it after they find the car.” As she spoke, she looked up at the sky, “It might rain before night, so let’s hurry up and don’t make them wait too long.” .”

The man wanted to say something more, but he saw that the footsteps of the people in front suddenly stopped, and some of them raised their various weapons nervously, and quickly raised the explosion-proof ax in their hands.

“Ah! So it’s a living person!”

“Hey? Aren’t you from Building No. 4?! There are still people over there!”

“Isn’t it? Are you all okay?”

“Are you going to go out? Going out of the city?”

“The road outside is not good. We are here to try our luck. There is no food in our building.”

The two groups of people met together, and although their faces were filled with the joy of being alive after the catastrophe, they all secretly worried in their hearts—I didn’t know what food and other things could be found in those shops, and it was fine before. , At any rate, they are all neighbors who have been living together since the end of the world, and everyone has become familiar with each other, but now it’s a good thing that they have met another group of people!

With the same idea in their hearts, the two groups of people turned to the gate of the community together on the guard against each other and cooperated with each other. They divided into two groups in a tacit understanding, and each went to a small supermarket.

There are a total of two small shops in the bottom of the street across the street from their row of buildings—they all have supermarkets on their signs. There are also two stores that buy fruits and vegetables. In addition, there are dry cleaners, computer repair stores, hardware stores, beauty and pedicure stores, and a comprehensive business hall of XX Communication XX Letter XX. In addition, there is a pet store, dumpling restaurant, barbecue restaurant, and A snack in County X.

The zombies outside the street seemed to sense someone coming out, and one by one excitedly gathered in this direction. Fortunately, the road in front of the community also bulged a lot, and the terrain was so distorted that it was difficult to walk. It would take a while for the zombies to quickly rush through the obstacles and break through the dense fence to come in and eat people.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, two groups of people rushed into the store and searched for it. The smell of rotten fruits and vegetables from the freezer and the fruit and vegetable store next door made people dizzy.

At the same time as the companions entered the small supermarket, Aunt Yu turned around and went directly into a pharmacy not far away—the little grandson Xunxun must have been frightened these days, and is no longer as noisy as before Not to mention, I still have a slight fever these two days, so I have to find some antipyretics to go back. What’s more, it is hard to guarantee that people will get sick in one life, and even before the end of the world, there are three disasters and eight disasters, and they go to a hospital from time to time, let alone in the end of the world? In the last days, there is no doctor who will treat people, and these medicines are taken less and less!

Aunt Yu has a lot of experience in life, and most of the medicines she looks for are various antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and first-aid medicines. You don’t need to take too much, and you need to make room for other supplies that you can find.

After a while, the survivors who had hurriedly cleaned up their things ran out of the shop carrying some valuable things they thought were valuable. As soon as everyone met, one of the survivors in the same group looked at the bag on Aunt Yu’s shoulder in surprise. A big bag of 50 catties of flour! Still holding a bag full of non-staple food seasonings in his hand, he couldn’t help asking, “Grandma Yu! Where did you move all this?”

Aunt Yu raised her chin: “Dumpling shop! There are still some inside, I can’t take them by myself, I am going to call you.” Hearing what she said, everyone rushed into the dumpling shop and searched. Gritting his teeth, he ran to the X county snack bar in the other direction.

“Zombies! Zombies are coming!” People who came out of another store had just walked to the open space beside the building, and found that the zombies had broken through the wide crack, and a few powerful ones broke open the metal guardrail. It’s time to rush over!

“Boom, boom!” The supernatural powers among the companions exploded in horror, and some strong people also picked up convenient weapons one after another, slashing and killing the zombies desperately, retreating back as they walked.

The sky was originally clear, but it started to rain sparsely towards the evening, and the rain became dense after a while.

Wei Xuan stood with a headache on the sixth floor of the building where he originally lived. He was wearing a raincoat and was looking at the places where the roof was cracked or part of the wall collapsed—at this time, those places were sparsely facing the It was raining.

“This building can’t be lived in, moving on a rainy day… This is really unlucky.”

The two returned to the community where they lived before around one o’clock in the afternoon, and first checked whether there was any damage to the scattered materials stored in some inconspicuous houses. They also pulled a lot of zombies from the streets outside to guard and serve as bodyguards. After returning to the building where I lived before and checking that the room I lived in before was okay, I climbed up to the sixth floor.

In the first few rooms inspected, there were only some cracks on the roof and walls. After Wei Xuan walked along the opened passage to the room on the other side, he was very helpless to find that the roofs here were all cracked. The next heavy rain will definitely make the rainwater wash away all the rooms in the entire building!

If the waterproofing of the house in this building is not done well, maybe it will seep into other rooms from the sixth floor all the way, and the walls of the whole house will be completely clouded. Persevered.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan had already started to plan ahead before the earthquake, not to mention that there are dozens of other houses in the same community for him to choose from, even if all the houses in this stronghold were destroyed by this earthquake, he would Don’t be afraid – when he collected various materials before, he had already stored those materials separately in various relatively safe places. With Du Hang, a younger brother who is doing great miracles by his side, even if all those things were smashed down by the collapsed houses, as long as he was not smashed, he could collect them all back.

The sky was already gloomy when we checked the condition of the roof. Just in case Wei Xuan put on the raincoats on himself and Du Hang early, there was no longer any food to dry on the sixth floor at this time, not even those used for drying. The shelves were also taken away by Wei Xuan before the earthquake. So after confirming that the building could no longer be lived in, the two of them immediately turned around and went downstairs, ran all the way to the first floor, and moved all the supplies that were afraid of water to the bed and table in the room on the second floor, so as to avoid water seepage on the ground. Come in.

Then I took Du Hang and opened an umbrella—wearing a raincoat and an umbrella, the waterproof effect is better than using either of them alone. Go to other buildings in the community to check the situation together.

They checked the place again in the afternoon, but at this time, the two wandered around again because of the rain. Wei Xuan looked at Du Hang, who was out of breath (no need to breathe), didn’t shed a drop of sweat (zombies don’t sweat), and had a calm expression (he has maintained this blank expression since he turned into a zombie). A trace of envy, jealousy and hatred – not afraid of suffering, not afraid of tiredness, no matter how far you walk and how high the building is, you are just like a normal person, except that you have a kind of idiot reaction to human flesh, and you have no human rationality and memory at all. Think about it carefully Perhaps the life of zombies is simpler and more leisurely…
