Chapter 17
Jiang You woke up from the nightmare and was sweating profusely. She drank a glass of ice water to calm down and stared at the ceiling blankly.
His eyebrows were almost twisted into knots.
How could she have such a dream? After her rebirth, she had never dreamed about what happened in the laboratory.
But tonight's dream seemed to pull her into that hell again.
At this time, it was almost dark.
She walked to the balcony and looked down. The water rose as fast as it receded.
The water level is still between the second and third floors. It is estimated that the water will be completely gone in another day.
There were motionless zombies floating on the water, as well as various pots and pans, as well as various beverage bottles and puffed food bags.
She saw a man on the opposite floor holding a long bamboo pole with a fishing net underneath. He was standing on the balcony of the third floor, constantly fishing for food in the water.
Beside him, there were several people helping to pretend to pick up.
Jiang You turned on his phone and saw a salvage video being posted in the group. The protagonists were several people in the building opposite.
Unexpectedly, there was a power outage all night, but these people still had power on their mobile phones.
"I salvaged a lot of food and drink. If you need it in our building, you can come to my house to get it!"
"Thank you big brother, big brother is such a good person!"
"You're such a good guy. If you have the guts, come to my door! There are zombies outside now. Why don't you let me go out to die? Why are you so worried!"
"That's right, who dares to come? There are man-eating monsters outside!"
"Who has a power bank? My phone is almost out of power. Damn Pingguo, it's running out of power too fast!"
"Me too, mine is almost out of battery and I don't dare to speak."
"Hey, my domestic mobile phone is very powerful. It can be used for several days on a single charge!"
"I saw a crazy woman. She actually, actually killed people! She killed all the neighbor zombies wandering in the corridor.
That woman seems to be from our building.
Although she turned into a zombie, she was still our neighbor. She would kill her as soon as she asked!
Be careful, all of you! If you kill zombies today, you can kill people tomorrow! "
"Yes, yes, I saw it too!"
"The one above is sick, right? Those have turned into zombies, so what kind of neighbors are they? If you think they are your neighbors, what are you doing hiding at home? Go out and say hello! Silly!!
By the way, can the boss who kills zombies bring me one? I am obedient and strong! "
"..."
The discussion in the group was intense. Jiang You glanced at it casually and threw away his phone.
Today is the second day after the heavy rain, if I remember correctly.
There was a power outage yesterday, and all networks will be paralyzed today.
Tomorrow, everyone will notice that the water coming out of the faucet smells bad.
The reservoir was filled with corpses. When the flood receded, the corpses swelled, stinked, and rotted under the heat of the sun...
All water sources can become contaminated.
Jiang You checked the natural gas in the kitchen, and sure enough, it was out of gas.
At this moment, the phone kept making message sounds.
She clicked on the message and saw that the group leader was @everyone again.
What I'm talking about is asking everyone to change the group name and unit house number.
At this time, someone directly shouted back.
"There are so many people in the group, who knows what they are hiding, asking everyone to reveal their house number, you must be sick!"
"Forget it, quit the group. I originally wanted everyone in the group to help each other in the apocalypse. It seems that I was too naive and quit."
"But I think the group leader is right. Let's mark our house numbers so that we can help each other if anything happens! I support the group leader!"
"My wife has a fever, what should I do? I'm so afraid that she will turn into a zombie. I'm locking her in the room now and don't dare to let her out."
"..."
Some people are scolding the group leader, and some people are leaving the group directly.
However, at this moment, the group leader who had only asked everyone to change the group nickname finally said something else.
A long series of voice squares.
Jiang Youxian was also idle, so he clicked on the audio to listen.
As a result, I heard a man yelling.
"When do you think it is now and you are still there forcing Lai Lai!
If you want to change your nickname, change your nickname!
Be obedient and don't drink as a penalty if you don't eat your toast! "
"You still think you are the owners? You are just like a bunch of wild boars now!
Don't be shameless. Those who scolded me just now, you just wait for me! I won't let you go! "
“I, Wang Jinbao, used to be a security guard, but you guys looked down on me with your noses turned upward all day long.
Haha, now you have eggs to use no matter how much money you have!
Those grandsons who just scolded me, please wash their necks and wait for me! "
"Dong Lingling on the sixth floor of Building [-], I have liked you for three years, but you don't want to give me flowers every time.
Bitch! You just look down on me and want to find a rich man!
Dong Lingling, I know you are still alive, just wait for me, I will show you what it means to be a real man! "
"..."
The group leader kept making harsh remarks.
Jiang You frowned and then turned off the phone.
In the early days of the apocalypse, mankind's biggest enemy is actually itself.
At least on the surface, there is defense against zombie attacks.
But similar ones are hard to guard against.
Just like this security guard named Wang Jinbao, she had seen him many times after living here for half a month.
He has dark skin and a pair of sinister eyes. He is not a good person at first glance.
But he is quite tall and strong. Every time he passes the security booth, you can see him chewing betel nut while looking at his mobile phone.
When he smiles at you, although he is very enthusiastic, the black smoky teeth in his mouth at such a young age are really uncomfortable to look at.
Before the end of the world, such people were basically at the bottom of society.
But now that order has collapsed and no amount of money or a big house can determine status, they seem to feel like they can do it again.
There was a quarrel in the group again, and the others who were scolded as wild boars naturally refused to do it and directly yelled at each other.
Jiang You had red dots to eliminate obsessive-compulsive disorder. Looking at the red dots that kept appearing, he felt a little irritated and simply quit the group.
……
In a house on the seventh floor.
Five men were sitting around a boiling hot pot.
Two of them, wearing security uniforms, were holding bowls and sat quietly watching the others eat.
The other three men had shaved heads and were still wearing prison clothes. They were obviously criminals who had escaped from prison.
Wearing security uniforms are the original security guards of this community, Wang Jinbao, and Li Yang.
Five people gathered around to eat hot pot. The three fugitives had their mouths full of oil, but Wang Jinbao and Li Yang didn't dare to move their chopsticks at all. They could only wait for the other three to finish eating before eating the rest.
Wang Jinbao scolded almost everyone in the group, and finally felt that the resentment he had felt over the years was relieved.
He spat on the ground angrily.
"Bah, what if these scornful people used to live in high-end houses? They are not as hungry now!"
After saying that, he looked at a man flatteringly, "Brother Scar, the Dong Lingling I just talked about, even though she has given birth to a child, her butt is twisted every time she walks, and she is so energetic!
Brother Scar, if you are interested, I will show you the way later!
I've been working as a security guard here for almost five years.
I know who lives in every house! "He fought hard to prove his worth.
Li Yang next to him also nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes."
Scar Man lives up to his name, with a hideous scar running from the left eyebrow to the corner of his mouth. When he smiles, the scar twists like a centipede.
He had deep-set eyes, and this cunning and cruel light always gave people a chilling feeling when they looked at people smiling.
Coupled with this scar, it makes people feel even more frightened and uneasy.
Scar smiled and picked up a piece of meat and put it into Wang Jinbao's bowl as if it was a reward.
"I didn't realize it. Brother Jinbao is quite smart. He knows that we haven't eaten meat for a long time. This arrangement is not bad!"
As he spoke, he looked at the other two brothers.
"Huang Si, Mazi, let's go kill two zombies after dinner, stretch our muscles and have a good rest at night."
When they said the word "rest", the three of them laughed tacitly.
When he heard that they said it was so easy to kill zombies, Wang Jinbao became even more frightened, and the smile on his face became more flattering.
Li Yang also hurriedly laughed.
I am afraid that I will not keep up with the rhythm, just like my previous colleagues.
