Shi Yu, whose main occupation is landlord and副業 (side job) is doorman, practically lives between feeding stray animals and collecting trash. He is almost universally known in Lanwan Residential Com...
"What are you doing...?" Jiang Jiaying was hesitating when the beautiful lady turned around and asked calmly, "The captain you mentioned before turned out to be him?"
Jiang Jiaying took three seconds to react and decisively sold out the captain: "I'm not familiar with him."
Shi Yu looked at the other person.
The other party also looked at him.
After a while, Shi Yu withdrew his gaze and walked towards the barbed wire fence of the safe zone.
Jiang Jiaying moved his toes, but before he could run, a hand grabbed the back of his collar like a cat and said, "Oh my god, stop it, stop it, you're going to strangle me to death!"
Bai Jiwei didn't let go: "When did he come here?"
Jiang Jiaying's eyes wandered: "Just now, didn't I call you to remind you, but you didn't listen..."
Bai Jiwei smiled: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
“…”
"When did he come?"
Jiang Jiaying was stubborn for less than ten seconds: "...Last night at midnight, you were not in the safe zone at that time, and I had no place to tell you."
Bai Jiwei glanced at his bracelet casually: "Is the communicator just for show?"
Jiang Jiaying said, "The battery is dead."
OK.
Bai Jiwei was too lazy to argue with him about this issue: "Where is his room arranged?"
Jiang Jiaying: "I'm next door."
Bai Jiwei said "Oh", "You haven't practiced using your umbrella yet?"
Jiang Jiaying shuddered: "No, no, no, I didn't..."
"It's okay." Bai Jiwei raised the corner of his lips, "I'll help you when we get back."
Jiang Jiaying almost kowtowed to him.
How about trying to hug the beauty's thighs before the game ends?

Shi Yu, who had left the scene long ago, had now reached entrance number three of the safe zone.
He came in from this entrance yesterday. At this moment, the reception desk next to the door has been removed, the tall iron gate is closed, and the railings are hollow. The monsters, at some point in time, have learned to gather and are standing densely outside the security line.
Until the monster in the front suddenly stomped hard on the ground, the monsters behind it seemed to have received an order, and the black army of monsters suddenly rushed towards the iron gate in a crazy manner!
Suddenly, there was a crackling vibration in the air, as if firecrackers were lit next to people's ears. The high voltage of more than 30,000 volts of electricity stirred up dazzling sparks, which instantly burned the army of electrocuted monsters until everything was charred!
The metal electric fence was covered with charred skin tissue, and the bodies that fell down after being hit were bloody.
If new food cannot be found for a long time, hunger will be like a heart-cutting knife, which can induce all living things to lose their minds.
The monsters outside crashed into them unconsciously, without any illness or feeling. The iron net was covered with layers of sticky human tissue, and the charred corpses piled up on the snow.
"This is the protection provided by the safe zone."
Shi Yu turned around and saw Bai Jiwei.
"The zombies on this street were cleared out long before the army was stationed here. There are not many zombies wandering here, and the patrol team can handle it. But if the situation gets out of control and human power can't handle it, the high-voltage power grid will be used." Bai Jiwei said, "Do you know what this means?"
Shi Yu: "The five senses of the infected are getting stronger."
Whether it was sound, eyes, or smell, whether the monsters suddenly gathered to attack the safe zone because of their increased intelligence or instinct, the premise was that the external information received by their bodies told them that there were still people here. But the monsters in this entire street had been cleared out, so how did the monsters a hundred meters away know that there were living people here?
It's not just the senses, the infected's strength, speed, and even the communication and coordination between groups all tell everyone clearly: they are evolving.
If people are infected by viruses and turn into monsters, the question of whether this is evolution or degeneration is still questionable, but there is no need to question who is progressing and who is degenerating compared to the monsters of the past and the monsters of today.
Bai Jiwei was not surprised to hear the correct answer. Of course, he did not ask this question to hear the other party's answer. Now that he had a topic to talk about, he went straight to the point: "Shishi."
Shi Yu ignored him.
The other party readily changed his words: "Shi Yu."
The high-voltage power grid next to it was still crackling, and a protective net was erected a little further away with guards standing around to prevent ordinary people in the safe zone from getting too close and being burned to charcoal.
Before Bai Jiwei could finish his second sentence, the broadcast in the safety zone suddenly blasted: "Attention! All guards, bring your weapons and head to entrance number seven immediately! All people, please return to your rooms and lock your doors and windows immediately!"
Let’s go back ten minutes.
In front of the barbed wire of entrance number seven of the security zone, a guard suddenly jumped up, and before anyone could react, he pounced on the ordinary person closest to him, opened his mouth and bit the exposed face hard!
“Sizzle——”
The screams stopped abruptly along with the sound of flesh being torn, and then the person who was bitten fell limply to the ground. In less than half a minute, he sat up again, and the skin on his face was already ulcerated like the one who bit him!
No one knows why infected people suddenly appear inside the safe zone. They immediately start biting the people around them. The virus flows between people's blood, madly invading the immune system, and transforming people's original bodies into monsters that only know how to kill.
By the time the guards realized what was happening, the number of infected monsters had already exceeded the control of the guards on site. Gunshots, biting sounds, and screams were heard one after another, and the damp and cold air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.
The guards with weapons were desperately fighting against the mutated monsters. Finally, the second message was read out on the radio: "Please pay attention, everyone, try to hide separately, and be alert to the infected around you at all times. All guards listen up, once you find an infected person around you, no matter who they are, they can be shot on the spot!"
Obviously, with the two major emergencies of the evolution of the infected and the mutation of ordinary people in the safe zone occurring within one day, the management had no room for hesitation and could only order a one-size-fits-all approach before finding a solution.
At this point, the humans and the infected in this world were completely separated and stood on opposite sides.
Bullets flew across the flat ground, mixed with snow particles.
One monster was shot in the right half of its body, but its movements were only frozen for a moment because of the impact. Then, without caring that it was bleeding, it rushed madly towards the guard who had fired the shot again.
The guard was busy dealing with the other monsters surrounding him. He finally repelled the other monsters, but the next second he was knocked to the ground by the monster with a hole in its chest. It felt like a mountain was pressing on his back, and he could hardly even raise his gun.
Despair flooded his limbs like a tide, until the hot blood splashed down the back of his head, soaking into his hair and collar, and then a heavy ball rolled off his body.
The monster's head and body were cut off. He lifted the monster's body off his body with force and caught a glimpse of the rapidly retracting silk thread out of the corner of his eye.
One, two, three...
Countless roots.
Brilliant golden light poured down like heavy rain, encircling the pale necks of the biting monsters. The slender golden threads turned into deadly blades, and the monsters were instantly torn apart!
The flying silk threads shed blood, and the figure of the operator was outlined in the eyes of Jiang Jiaying who arrived late. He swallowed his saliva, and felt that he might finally understand the secret of how a beautiful woman can turn a ferocious beast into a puppy.
In the chaos, some monster that had escaped suddenly gave up on the living people with weapons near the entrance and turned around and rushed madly towards the building where ordinary people were hiding.
Bai Jiwei was quick-witted and shot the escapee who was running towards the building. Then he heard the team members behind him shouting, "Why is my network out of power?!"
He turned his head suddenly and saw the monsters outside stepping on the charred corpses and crashing into the metal net again. The high-voltage power grid that was originally crackling with electricity was now shaky!
The power grid was originally arranged temporarily after the virus outbreak, so there was naturally no time to design various control circuits for it. Even the metal mesh was made of native materials found in the city. The power grid around each exit is independent, and the wiring switch is located in the house at the reception entrance.
That happened to be in their blind spot.
Shi Yu directly climbed into the reception desk through the window, dragged a chair on the ground and smashed the monster in the room on the top of its head, while at the same time he saw the control switch clearly.
As expected, it was broken and there was no way to reopen it.
Bai Jiwei chased in almost right after him and fired another bullet at the monster on the ground: "What should we do now?"
Shi Yu let go of the chair and asked, "Do you have any other hot weapons?"
"Yes, there is," Bai Jiwei said, "but if used, it may affect the interior of the safe zone."
Shi Yu: "Where is the empty projectile?"
"Yes."
"Lend me one."
Bai Jiwei put away his revolver, tapped his fingers on his bracelet, and took out a rocket launcher.
A dark green rocket launcher, as thick as a human arm, with a smooth outer wall and a solid inner wall.
Shi Yu looked at the cannon barrel and inexplicably remembered the other party's grand ambition of "bombing the city" not long ago. He didn't ask anything and reached out to take the shell handed to him by the other party.
If this thing is fired out, not only the monsters outside, but even the high-voltage power grid will probably be destroyed.
By then the isolation zone will be gone and everyone in the safe zone will just wait to die. No wonder the other party has never used it.
The two ancestors went into the house, and Jiang Jiaying could only stay outside the reception to clean up the monsters. Then he saw that the guards who were patrolling in other places also received the news and rushed over.
The number of monsters in the safe zone continued to grow as they fought each other, and they continued to fall under the weapons of the guards who arrived.
The monsters inside finally decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the monsters outside, whether by coincidence or somehow, learned that the power grid here had become a paper tiger with a strong exterior but a weak interior, and they all gathered here. Hundreds of zombies gathered into a huge wave and slammed into the power grid. The huge vibration made people terrified.
Not until the last monster inside the safe zone fell to bullets did someone finally come out of the small reception house.
Jiang Jiaying turned around and saw the cannon in his opponent's hand. He immediately rushed over without hesitation: "Captain, calm down!"
"Get lost." Bai Jiwei glanced at the situation on the ground, "Have you killed all the zombies in the safe zone?"
Jiang Jiaying replied quickly: "But there is nothing we can do outside."
After all, the guards are not sharpshooters and do not have the ability to hit the target accurately. Of course, even if there were such a person, no one in the world would dare to say that every bullet they fired would penetrate the holes in the metal mesh and hit the monsters outside the mesh without touching the iron mesh itself. Random shooting would only cause secondary damage to the already shaky isolation zone.
The same applies to using thermal weapons with greater destructive power.
The guards inside the safe zone were helpless against the monsters outside, but they couldn't just watch the high net being knocked down by the monsters. There was a lot of noise in the real-time communication, and they were getting anxious and angry, and then they saw a young man in white clothes and black pants carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder, taking two steps back to run, bending his body and stepping on the holes in the mesh to climb directly onto the metal net!
Bai Jiwei held onto the wire mesh with one hand to maintain his balance, while holding onto the firearm with the other hand, his eyes half closed.
"boom--"
The metal bullet fell into the tide of zombies and ignited flames. The blue-green flames rose high like a waterfall, and then fell heavily. The flames that shot up into the sky instantly annihilated the endless army of monsters.
If you use artillery shells directly, you may worry about damaging the metal mesh, but fire is different. As long as it does not reach the ignition point, there is no need to worry about damage.
Bai Jiwei put away the cannon and landed lightly before the flames reached the metal mesh. He retreated to a safe distance and watched the monster gradually fall in the flames. He turned around but didn't see the person he was looking for. He frowned and asked, "Where is he?"
Jiang Jiaying was stunned for a moment, then realized who he was talking about: "He left after you climbed onto the Internet. I don't know where he went."
"Control the fire and don't let it spread to the adjacent floors. Also, the smoke is poisonous." Bai Jiwei threw down this sentence, ignoring the guards who were attracted by the operation and gathered around him. He walked out of the crowd and ran directly to the building.
"No, wait..." Jiang Jiaying didn't even have time to say a word and was left alone. He rolled his eyes to the sky and resignedly asked the guards to deal with the follow-up. "Don't get close to the smoke, wear a gas mask, and go find a high-pressure water gun!"
The monster outside was finally defeated by the fire, the flames gradually died out, and the white smoke dissipated.
Jiang Jiaying put down the high-pressure water gun, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to retreat when he suddenly stopped and looked outside as if he noticed something.
A black dot in the distance expanded, and then a face pounced directly onto the barbed wire.
※
The room was filled with heater and the air was extremely hot and stuffy.
"grown ups?"
No one responded.
"grown ups."
Still no one responded.
Ling Zhao's anxiety grew stronger and stronger, and his grip on the door handle gradually tightened: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Can you tell me something?"
The mirror fogged up.
Shi Yu stood in the bathroom, her palms pressing against the marble table were damp and hot, and the red spots on her collarbone seemed to be bleeding.
