The town takes a break and encounters old ghosts again

After the two of them took turns drinking the small can of Coke, they turned the small supermarket upside down and even swept under the refrigerator with a broom. Unfortunately, they only found a few scattered lollipops. After Li Ping'an asked Annie to put them away, the two of them lingered in the small supermarket for a while. Feeling that the sun outside was not so strong, they continued on their way.

In fact, Li Ping'an didn't know whether the path he was taking was right or not, but as the old saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. As long as the direction is right, reaching the destination is only a matter of time.

Having learned from yesterday's lesson, the two dared not look for a house in the wilderness anymore, let alone go to crowded places like schools and hospitals. They planned to try their luck in a small town not far ahead.

The town is not big, with only three main streets. Most of the buildings are two-story. Most of the young people there have gone to the city to work, and most of those left behind are the elderly and children.

Looking at the ragged, staggering figure in front of him, this was the first time Li Ping'an had truly seen a zombie. Fortunately, thanks to the foundation laid by the male ghost, he did not scream out.

Annie saw the zombies in front of her and was about to remind Li Pingan when she saw him turn left into another road. Annie thought it was just a coincidence. However, every time she encountered zombies, Li Pingan would bypass them without waiting for Annie's reminder. After so many times, she understood, "Pingan, can you see zombies?"

Li Ping'an didn't say anything, just nodded. After getting the answer, Annie tactfully didn't ask why.

The town is not big, but in order to avoid the zombies, the two of them struggled for a long time before finding a place to stay, which was a breakfast shop. Perhaps because the zombie outbreak here happened at noon that day, although the door of the breakfast shop was half open, there were not many people inside.

In order to prevent the zombies outside from rushing in after hearing the noise, Li Pingan and the others closed the outside door after entering and pulled down the rolling shutter door.

The noise alarmed the zombies in the kitchen. A pair of middle-aged male and female zombies stumbled over from the back kitchen. Li Ping'an picked up a bench nearby, pushed the two zombies apart and pressed them to the ground. With his other hand, he picked up the round stool and smashed it directly on their heads.

Li Pingan was afraid that this action would scare Annie, but when he turned around, he saw Annie standing next to him with a round stool, looking at him with bright eyes. When she saw Li Pingan turned to look at him, she sensibly handed the round stool to her, "Pingan, they can still move, hit them a few more times."

As he spoke, he wanted to do it himself.

Li Ping'an waved his hand, signaling her to stand further away. His hands became more brutal, and black blood splattered everywhere. He did not let go of the bench until the two zombies stopped moving.

Looking at the two bodies lying on the ground, Li Ping'an sighed, looked around, and found a tablecloth to cover the two of them.

The two then searched the first floor carefully, and after making sure that there were no zombies hiding in any corner, they went up to the second floor. There was a transparent sliding door at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. The zombie inside the sliding door looked young and was wearing a school uniform. He should be a junior high school student.

As soon as the zombie saw Li Ping'an and the other man, it pounced on them, pressing its face against the glass. He was neatly dressed and had no bloodstains. For a moment, Li Ping'an felt that he was no different from a living person. But looking at his dripping saliva and pale face with black hair, Li Ping'an sighed, pushed open the sliding door, and used the round stool in his hand to help him free.

The second floor was not big, with only two bedrooms and a living room. After a careful search, Li Ping'an put the little zombie in the living room downstairs together with the two corpses.

After Li Ping'an finished, he turned around and found Annie staring at the bodies of the three people with a depressed look, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Li Pingan walked up to her and rubbed her head. "Let's go to the backyard and see what's there."

After opening the back door of the house, two skinny and shriveled zombies rushed over with roars, their movements were a little slow. After Li Pingan dealt with them, he dragged them together.

When I walked to the backyard, I was greeted by a foul smell. It was obvious that the backyard was originally planned in an orderly manner. One area was a vegetable garden, one area was fenced off, and a few chickens were raised. There was a small house under the corridor, which contained some miscellaneous items.

But now the backyard is in a mess. Maybe no one has fed them for a long time. The chickens in the fence scratched the net and flew out, eating and defecating wherever they went in the vegetable garden on the other side.

But the strange thing is that now we can only see the claw marks left by the chicken, but there is no trace of the chicken.

"Ping'an, what are you looking for?" Annie felt a little curious when she saw Li Ping'an rummaging through the drawers, but the place was so smelly that she had to cover her nose while asking.

Li Ping'an found a dead and rotten chicken in the gap between two wooden boards, and she said that chicken droppings alone could not be so smelly.

"Let me see if there are any live chickens." If they are lucky enough to find a live chicken, they can improve their food.

Hearing that there might be live chickens in the yard, Annie became interested and didn't care about the stench in the backyard. They started digging together. Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, all the chickens they found were dead.

Li Ping'an picked up a chicken that had died not long ago and held it in front of him. He took a closer look and saw a hole in its neck. He didn't know if it was caused by a bite from the two old zombies or by a fight between chickens.

"Ping'an, come and see." Anne's voice was a little low, but the excitement in it could not be suppressed. At this time, she was squatting next to a pile of straw.

Li Ping'an walked forward and found a hen nestled in the straw pile. Seeing strangers coming, the hen tried to peck at the two people, but the strength dissipated halfway. She just moved her body and held the eggs underneath tighter.

Li Pingan reached out and grabbed the hen's wings and lifted it up. He fumbled around on it for a while, making sure there were no wounds. "Annie, we're having chicken tonight."

After being lifted up, the hen struggled hard, but unfortunately her strength was too weak. Annie felt a little sorry for her and said, "Ping An, why don't you let her go? She still needs to hatch chicks."

Hearing this, Li Pingan lifted up the egg from the chicken coop and shone it towards the sky. "Annie, this egg won't hatch a chick."

"Why?" Annie asked in confusion.

Li Pingan handed the egg to Annie and said, "Smell it."

Annie took a deep breath and then started coughing violently because of the choking. The egg was already rotten.

"Unfertilized eggs can't hatch chicks. Besides," Li Ping'an shook the hen in his hand and felt its weight, "even if we don't eat it, this hen will almost starve to death."

In the kitchen, Annie was surprised at how Li Ping'an plucked the chicken and killed it. "Ping'an, how come you are so good that you can even kill a chicken?"

Li Ping'an just smiled and didn't tell her that he had done odd jobs in the vegetable market before.

Although it is a breakfast shop, the seasonings are still very complete. After stewing the chicken on the gas stove, Li Pingan began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets. The vegetables and meat were already rotten, and the flour was stained with an unknown liquid that looked like blood. However, the rice was placed in a bucket with a lid, and it was still preserved. So, Li Pingan cooked another bowl of rice on the gas stove.

Although the weather was not very hot, the two had not felt it when they were running for their lives outside. Now that they had settled down a little, they felt that they were smelly. Before it got dark, they boiled some water and washed themselves.

It was not until it was completely dark that the two of them had their meal. It was a simple stewed chicken with rice. They ate without even raising their heads. Annie ate while praising Li Ping'an's superb cooking skills. She almost cried by the end of the meal.

Lying in bed, thinking carefully, they had only been on the journey for two days, but they had encountered so many things, but they were not injured. They didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate.

Feeling Annie's long breathing beside his ears, Li Ping'an's eyes became darker and darker, and he became more and more sleepy.

In the dream, Li Ping'an returned to the real world and was standing under the shade of a tree, leaning against his motorcycle with a popsicle in his mouth. However, the sun was so strong, and why did the temperature seem to be getting lower and lower?

Li Ping'an wrapped his clothes tightly around himself, but still felt uncomfortable from the cold. When he was about to stamp his feet to warm himself up, he stepped on empty air and woke up. He found himself hugging Annie tightly.

Seeing Annie curled up in a ball due to the cold, Li Pingan quickly woke her up, "Ping'an, I'm so cold."

Annie's head was still confused. She dreamed that she was locked in an ice storage and almost froze to death.

Li Ping'an wrapped the quilt around the two figures on the bed, sat up, and looked around. After the curtains were drawn, the room was pitch black.

When his eyes swept across the corner, Li Ping'an was startled, his scalp tingled, and he almost screamed. There was a humanoid object standing there.

Damn, how come there is a ghost in this place? Li Pingan quickly took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight and shone it into the corner. The flashlight on the cell phone was not very strong, but it was enough for the two of them to see clearly.

Good news, it's not a new ghost.

The bad news is still the male ghost from last night.

Although he is a male ghost, he looks extremely handsome. At this moment, he is standing in the corner with an expressionless face, but his eyebrows and eyes are like a painting.

This ghost wouldn't react and come to settle the score with him. Li Pingan decided to take the initiative to defeat the ghost. "What are you doing here? Why are you following us?"

The male ghost walked out from the corner with a normal expression, "I found that I could get out, so I came here to thank you." After saying that, he bowed to the two of them.

When Li Pingan heard him say that, he felt that he was committing a sin by letting him out. He couldn't say it directly, so he could only smile and said, "Okay, I'm glad he can get out."

After saying that, he waited for the male ghost to leave.

But the male ghost just stood by the bed and stared at the two of them. Then, for some reason, he said, "I want to follow you."

You are being ungrateful. "This is inappropriate." Li Ping'an quickly found an excuse.

"What's inappropriate?" The male ghost was puzzled.

"Well," Li Pingan thought, "well, we have to travel during the day, you can't."

"I can." It seemed that the ghost had made up his mind to rely on the two of them.
