Chapter 149 Escape and Hoarding
(This chapter contains 12w nutrient solution plus additional content)
The person squatting there couldn't move his body. He was only held by the other party's ankle, but when he met such a pair of eyes, he felt his whole body stiffened, especially the part held by the bloody hand, which couldn't move at all.
The other party looked at him with red and black cold eyes for a while, and suddenly grinned.
It was not known whether it was because of the injury from falling from the Ferris wheel, or for some other reason, the corners of the other party's mouth cracked all the way to the roots of the ears as he smiled.
He saw the red flesh and blood leaking out from under the other party's skin, which was still twitching with his laughter.
Suddenly, the other party climbed up, tore off his cracked face skin, and pressed the bloody face skin to his eyes.
The man only felt a red flash before his eyes, and the cold, wet and disgusting touch made him scream.
The scream was particularly miserable, with a tingling fear and shock, and in just a moment, the crowd watching under the Ferris wheel became chaotic.
The person who had come forward to check on the man had been frightened by the man's face-covering actions and collapsed to the ground, but his friends did not dare to come forward.
The man - if he was still a human, stood up tremblingly and walked slowly to the brighter light.
Now everyone could see clearly that he had no clothes on his entire upper body. The red color was the flesh and blood under his skin. Some of the skin was gone, and some of it was still hanging there. Blood and pus dripped down to his feet. It looked scary and disgusting, and it made people feel sick.
He also lost half of his right face. Probably because he fell from the Ferris wheel, he broke one leg. He limped as he walked, rushing towards the people closest to him.
He fell from such a high place, and he was in such a bloody mess. Not only was he still alive, but he could still move and walk?
The onlookers didn't dare to let him get close to them, and they screamed and ran away.
Youxi resisted the urge to check. She remembered clearly that the type of world this time was "biochemical". She was not clear about the specific type represented by "BLOOD", but the Star House system would not do anything without a purpose. Her
intuition told her that without complete protective measures, it was best to avoid all contact with blood.
Her classmates were all retreating, staggering, and two companions who were bleeding were almost carried by others.
"Xiaoxi... go..." Kong Lin beside her made a trembling sound, pulling her tightly in the opposite direction of the "peeling man".
"Wait a minute." Youxi did not go forward, but also stood there without moving.
Not far away, the staff and security personnel of the amusement park rushed over, and the "peeling man" was pinching the neck of a tourist and pressing him to the ground. His strength was so amazing that the tourist's companions were unable to pull him away.
The security guard took out his baton and gave a few warnings. When he found that the other party was completely indifferent, he began to hit the "peeling man"'s arm with the baton, trying to make him let go.
The first two or three hits might not be strong enough. The "peeling man" was completely indifferent and still pinched the neck of the man on the ground. It seemed that the man was about to die.
The security guard did not hold back and hit him hard, knocking off a piece of skin hanging on the other party's shoulder.
This action seemed to anger the "peeling man". He turned around and roared, grabbed the baton that was swung at him again, pulled it hard, snatched it, and swung it back at the security guard.
Youxi carefully observed every detail of the struggle between the two parties.
The strength of the "peeling man" is far beyond that of an ordinary person, and he is aggressive. For the time being, it can be determined that he attacks in a disorderly and nearby manner; when the "peeling man" is hit hard, he will let out a hoarse howl, his attention will be diverted, and his attack target will also be diverted, and it seems that he still feels pain
. In addition, from the previous smile, tearing off his face and slapping it on other people's faces, and using weapons, it can be judged that the "peeling man" is not like a zombie with a dead brain and only the body moving.
However, this situation has also gone beyond the scope of normal humans. It feels more like falling into a state of madness. It is currently impossible to judge whether this madness can be cured.
The person whose eyes were slapped and the two people whose necks were pinched finally stood up with the help of their companions. They looked terrified but conscious. From this, we can infer: 1. This kind of contact will not infect; 2. This kind of contact will infect but the infection will not spread that fast;
Summary: Infection for unknown reasons (mutation), pain, intelligence, use of weapons, roar (may lose language ability), blood may be contagious (obtained from world mission prompts).
After collecting the information, Youxi turned around and grabbed Kong Lin with her backhand, saying directly: "Let's go!"
Kong Lin wanted to pull her away just now, but he couldn't pull her away. Now she pulled him with her backhand, and he was immediately dragged forward by her.
They quickly followed the crowd out of the Ferris wheel area. The haunted house was at the turn ahead. Youxi recalled the tourist map he had just seen and remembered that the nearest road to the other entrance would pass by the haunted house. He shouted to the classmate who was running in front, "Don't go to the haunted house. There may be bloody people in the haunted house! Go straight and go around the roller coaster!"
Everyone was scared to death. Some were running based on their intuition, while others were just following the crowd. Suddenly, they all paused when they heard Youxi's shout.
A girl turned back in panic: "Xiaoxi, is it true? There are also monsters in the haunted house..."
"Really!" Kong Lin spoke anxiously, waving his hands vigorously at other students, "Don't go over there! Xiaoxi and I were walking slowly just now, and we saw some tourists running out of the entrance, saying that there were monsters inside--"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden scream on the bend in the road, and the people who had already run to the haunted house turned around and ran back. Because there were too many people, it was inevitable to bump into and squeeze, and some people were so panicked that they directly jumped over the bushes in the green belt.
"Be careful! He has a fire axe in his hand!"
"Don't go! He's very strong!"
"Be careful-hide quickly!"
"Ah--"
...
They heard someone screaming, accompanied by a low roar, which didn't sound like a human voice, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Don't be stunned! Hurry up!" You Xi had already passed the student who was running in the front. She pulled Kong Lin and continued to run towards the straight road.
Seeing this, the other students once again pulled each other and supported each other to follow behind them.
**
They ran across the straight road, passed the passage next to the roller coaster, circled around and finally arrived at another exit.
Some people who were lucky enough to pass through the haunted house ignored the tourists who were asking questions in confusion nearby and tried their best to squeeze out from the entrance and exit. Some did not bother to find the exit and directly jumped over the railings of the ticket gate.
The students behind followed Youxi and Kong Lin, successfully found the exit, and finally ran out of the amusement park.
No one stopped. They continued to run forward along the road for a long time before stopping at the side of the road and sitting down on the ground, panting.
The street in front of them was still full of festive atmosphere. The people of Country D, wearing strange costumes and masks, were excitedly celebrating All Souls' Day and had no idea what was happening in the amusement park.
Youxi looked around carefully. Everything was normal outside. It seemed that it was not time for a large-scale outbreak yet. She still had time.
It takes more than half an hour to walk from where they are to the hotel, but only ten minutes by car.
The other students wanted to walk back, but they were scared when they saw people wearing all kinds of strange masks around them. In this situation tonight, if there were "peeled people" like the ones in the amusement park, they would not be able to detect them at the first time.
In the end, everyone decided to take a car. There were sixteen of them in total, so at least four cars were needed.
While the others were discussing the car, Youxi had already checked the route and buildings leading to the hotel on the world figure's mobile phone, and started downloading the map of this city and the map of City B in Country D in the background.
On the way back to the hotel, you will pass by two supermarkets, both of which are medium and large, but the focus of the types of goods is slightly different.
She didn't bring much supplies into the mission world this time, and the Star House warehouse was empty. She had to work hard to fill it up.
"Xiaoxi, Dakong, let's take a car, shall we?" a classmate asked.
Kong Lin was about to nod, but Youxi said, "I want to go to the supermarket, you go back first."
"You want to go to the supermarket now?" The other party was hard to understand, "Let's go back to the hotel first. There is also a convenience store in the hotel. You can buy anything you want."
"The things I want to buy are only available in the big supermarket. You go back first." Youxi didn't explain much. Although they were all classmates of the world figure, there were a total of fifteen people (except her), and it was clear that she couldn't bring everyone back safely.
"I'll go with you." Kong Lin didn't hesitate.
Youxi looked at him and did not agree this time: "No, you go back to the hotel and wait for me too."
**
On the mobile phone screen, the "peeling man" video that could be seen a moment ago has now disappeared.
The D country officials are intervening and do not want this matter to spread widely on the Internet. In fact, this is a good thing. At least it shows that the current situation is still under control.
According to the time difference between D country and the world figure's home country, Hua country, it is about 2 o'clock in the morning in China.
She didn't want to wake up her brother by calling in the middle of the night, so she sent him a message saying that something happened here and decided to return to China immediately, and asked him not to worry when he woke up, because she might not be able to receive his call on the way.
She asked him to take a temporary leave of absence for two days, and after she returned to China, the two of them would solve the problem and resume their normal lives. At the same time, she also told her brother to read more news and pay more attention to online news in the past few days. If there is any situation, he can leave a message directly to her.
As in the past, when she recalled the scenes of the characters in the world and her brother getting along in the past, the other party's face was not clear in the picture. From the fragments of getting along, the two people had a good relationship. The other party was ten years older and was a stable person.
She thought about her sister in the meteorite world and became a little curious about the appearance of this brother.
Youxi exited the page and put away her mobile phone, took out a 3M mask and put it on, then pushed a shopping cart and walked quickly into the supermarket.
Regardless of whether the end of the world has officially begun, what stage it has progressed to, what will happen next, and what will be faced on the way back to China, in short - it is absolutely right to stock up first.
The products in this medium-to-large supermarket are mainly daily necessities, ranging from staple foods to snacks, fresh and frozen food to various beverages, sanitary products, personal care products and home textiles.
Although the world figure is still a student this time, her parents left a lot of savings after their death. According to the law, all the property will be equally distributed to the children left behind. At that time, her brother had already become an adult, so he had been managing her part of the savings on her behalf.
Over the years, because her brother managed money well, the money that belonged to her was only more or less.
Two years ago, when the world figure became an adult at the age of sixteen, she officially took over her own property. She is not a girl who will spend money recklessly. In addition, she is still studying and has few places where she needs to spend money, so the amount of money in her card is very rich now.
Time is tight at the moment, so she will stock up first, and then cash in the gold in the Star House warehouse when she has the chance.
The festive atmosphere in the supermarket is also very strong. Many products are discounted tonight, and there are still many people inside. Youxi pushed the cart to the food area first, where there are all kinds of bread, cheese, smoked sausage, various fruits, and many canned meats and fish.
Youxi currently has no car as a cover, so she can only make a few more trips with [disguised lipstick] and transfer small batches to the Star House warehouse. So in order to save time, she plans to get it all in one area at a time.
For example, this time, she stood in front of two adjacent rows of shelves, ready to fill the cart directly here.
The bottom of the cart is made of canned food, and she took a box of canned meat, canned fish, canned fruit, and canned beans of different brands. On top was a layer of bread, which could be used as staple food, including white bread, whole wheat bread, carrot rolls, cheese bread, etc. The top layer was vacuum-packed sausages and bacon of various flavors.
She filled the cart with almost no movement and went to the side to pay.
After paying the bill, she pushed the shopping cart to the underground parking lot. According to the situation she had explored before, she backed the shopping cart to a dark corner without surveillance camera lights. With the cover of a large pickup truck next to her, she put away the food in the shopping cart directly after making sure that she would not be photographed by the dashcam.
Then, she found the stairwell and went into the restroom between the first and second floors. After making sure no one saw her, she went into the restroom cubicle to use her fake lipstick.
A moment later, a "tall, thin man" walked into the supermarket, pushed a shopping cart to the fresh food section, loaded a cart full of vegetables such as onions, carrots, kale, celery, tomatoes, potatoes, pepper, salt, curry and other condiments, and a variety of fruits, and then pushed it to the checkout.
A moment later, a "middle-aged woman from Country D" walked into the supermarket, pushed a shopping cart to the refrigerated section, and bought a large cart of packaged beef, mutton, chicken, duck, pork, seafood sashimi, fish and shellfish...
After that, an ordinary-looking "middle-aged man" walked into the supermarket, went to the convenience food section, and took ten boxes of instant noodles. It is worth mentioning that Country D does not have particularly delicious instant noodles, so most of the instant noodles on the shelves are imported. In addition to instant noodles from Country T and other places, she also saw instant noodles from the world figure's own country...
Then, a "fat young girl" walked into the supermarket, went to the frozen section, and took out all kinds of pizza, fried chicken, pasta, burgers, steaks, fish fillets, lamb chops that could be eaten immediately after opening the package and heating...
Then, there was a cart of drinks and milk of different flavors.
Then, there was a cart of boxes of water.
Then, there was a cart of personal cleaning and care products.
...
Youxi used a total of five [fake lipsticks] and bought ten carts of supplies.
Three star coins for a [fake lipstick] that can be used twice, which seemed extremely cheap at the moment.
Although the method was a bit crude and troublesome, the nearby supermarkets were not open 24 hours a day, and she had limited time. This was the best method she could think of in a short period of time.
Afterwards, she moved to another medium-sized or large supermarket. The variety of food here was not as much as the previous one, but this supermarket had a protective equipment area, which contained the protective clothing, tool kits, masks, gloves, disinfectants and other things she needed most.
These things are very needed in this doomsday and the original world, but it is difficult to get them in the original world now. Although she has a lot of inventory, no one will complain about the large amount of supplies. As long as there is a chance, she will continue to stock up at the maximum purchase amount.
**
After leaving the second supermarket, Youxi felt that a corner of the Xingwu warehouse was filled with supplies, and her sense of security increased.
She found a restroom without surveillance and no one, went in to put away the last wave of supplies, and wiped the [disguised lipstick] on her lips with a wet tissue.
When she walked out of the cubicle, her original appearance was reflected in the bathroom mirror.
The "Youxi" in this world is short and thin, and her facial features are still the same as when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, but her lips are pale and her skin is slightly sickly pale. The whole person looks weak and delicate, which easily inspires people's desire to protect her.
She took out a pair of scissors, loosened the long hair tied behind her neck, and cut it directly below the ears. After a while, her long hair has become neat and clean short hair. She took out a baseball cap and put it on, just enough to press down all her hair.
After that, she washed her hands with a portable disinfectant hand sanitizer, and finally took out a 3M mask and put it on.
On her way back to the hotel, she saw a drugstore still open along the street, and in line with the principle of plucking feathers from a passing goose, she turned in again. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the drugstore was open until midnight. She
had to buy common medicines such as colds, fevers, headaches, and antibiotics. In addition, she bought a large number of health products for You Feng and Fan Qi. Finally, there were also protective supplies such as masks, gloves, and disinfectants. She bought as many as she could.
When she was about to leave with a huge shopping bag, three or four people walked in quickly from outside the store. They were so hurried that they almost bumped into her.
You Xi reacted very quickly and stepped aside. Those people rushed out and went straight to find the salesperson.
"Excuse me, is there any anti-itching ointment? I want something special. My friend seems to have skin allergies!" Someone among the pedestrians asked anxiously. When he heard what kind of allergy it was, he hurriedly pulled his friend over and rolled up her sleeves to show her.
You Xi slowed down and did not leave immediately. He looked back at the person with skin allergies.
She was constantly scratching her arm. The girl's originally fair skin had been broken because of constant scratching, but she seemed to feel no pain, or she could feel the pain but because it was extremely itchy, she could only continue to scratch.
"Linda, bear with it, it will be fine after applying the medicine!" Her friend comforted her, and at the same time said to the salesperson, "She was fine during the day, but she suddenly started to itch in the afternoon. Could it be that
she is allergic to the clothes she is wearing?" The other party checked and said: "It is the heather blooming season recently. It may be an allergy to pollen, or it may be an allergy to the fabric... Does she have an allergic constitution?"
The few people were not sure, and asked the girl again.
The girl coughed twice, grabbed her arm and said that she had never experienced pollen allergies before, but someone in her family had an allergic constitution, and she didn't know what was going on.
The other party gave her a few special antiseptic and anti-itching ointments, told them how to apply the ointment, and reminded her that if the itching did not stop tonight, she would have to go to the hospital for treatment.
Youxi, carrying a large shopping bag, was the first to walk out of the drugstore before they left.
**
When Youxi returned to the hotel, the other students were still awake. They all gathered in the teacher's room and described to each other what happened at the playground tonight.
Everyone was still in shock. Some people were telling stories, some were watching the news on TV, and some were checking the news online with their cell phones.
But the news did not report the playground, and the "peeling man" video that Youxi had found online had been deleted long ago, and there was no trace of it at all.
But then again, tonight is All Souls' Day. Even if someone saw the bloody appearance of the "peeling man" at this time, through a layer of screen, the first reaction would be that this was the other party's deliberate dress-up.
Just like the few people who ran out of the haunted house in fear at first, no matter how they described the monster and even called the police, the people around them did not believe them.
It was not until later that the tourists saw with their own eyes that the person who fell from the Ferris wheel was not only alive, but also began to attack passers-by, that they began to panic
and scatter. It was just that the incident happened so suddenly that no one took a picture of the other party falling from the high school. At this moment, the students gathered in the room did not even dare to take a video of the "peeling man" getting up and attacking people, and they ran away in fear.
Now, without a certificate, a group of students wearing strange costumes and colorfully painted faces were emotionally talking about how terrible and terrifying the "blood man" was in front of the teacher, and the teacher's expression was quite helpless.
Obviously, he did not take their words seriously at all.
When he once again asked the students to go back to their rooms to rest, the half-open room was pushed open.
"Teacher Ge." You Xi walked in wearing a neat long-sleeved sportswear, a hat and a mask, pushing a suitcase, "I want to get my ID back."
"You, what's wrong with your hair? Where are you going? This is the first stop of the study tour!"
"I cut my hair and I want to go back to my country." You Xi looked at the other students, "As for the reason, everyone should have told you. Whether you believe it or not, I'm scared. I don't want to participate in the study tour anymore."
Although the teacher has the responsibility to accompany and care for students, he does not interfere with the freedom of students. After all, these students are adults. He asked You Xi to write a certificate of withdrawal, and said that he would return all the documents to her after she finished writing it.
Seeing that You Xi had packed her luggage and was about to return to her country, the others looked at each other and someone reacted.
Yes! What are they still doing here! Studying abroad is important, but what does it mean after what happened just now? At this moment, of course, we should go back to our country and be with our families first!
Kong Lin was the first to say that he also wanted to leave the team, and then it was like a domino effect, with classmates speaking one after another, confusing the teacher.
He wanted to ask more, but You Xi, who had written a certificate of leaving the team, handed him the screen of his mobile phone, on which was a video being played. In the background of the playground, a bloody man was attacking people around him like crazy.
You Xi took pictures of the scenes that other classmates did not take.
**
Ge Cong is not a stubborn person. When solid evidence is placed in front of him, his first consideration is the safety of students.
In addition to him, there are also very powerful people among other classmates.
"Everyone has read zombie novels. Although it is still unclear what it is and whether it is contagious, everyone understands that if there is any contagious mutation, time is of the essence! Everyone, pack up quickly, leave behind unnecessary luggage, and leave immediately!" The woman who said this is Min Min, who previously shared a room with You Xi.
Afterwards, Kong Lin also spoke: "Also, we are all first contacts. There are cameras in the amusement park. If the authorities of Country D want to find us, they will definitely find us eventually! We don’t know how the officials of Country D will act, but while they are still cleaning up the mess, we must leave as soon as possible!
Now divide the work, who is responsible for checking out? Who is responsible for booking a car to the train station? Who is responsible for buying train tickets? Who is responsible for booking air tickets? Who is responsible for going downstairs to the hotel convenience store to buy some food and drinks?... You have to calculate the time!"
"My D speaks Chinese well, I'll go check out!"
"I'll check the train tickets!"
"Give Xiaonan and me five minutes, we'll pack up and go downstairs to the convenience store right away!"
...
Perhaps because of the different examination and subject systems, the students in this world have exceptionally strong reaction and living abilities.
More than ten minutes later, everyone simply packed their luggage and gathered in Ge Cong's room again.
Most people abandoned their bulky suitcases and carried carry-on bags or large travel backpacks. All the girls changed out of their inconvenient skirts and shoes and put on sports pants and hiking shoes.
Youxi became the only one among the crowd pushing a suitcase (although there was nothing in it, just for show):...
Another ten minutes later, they gathered in the hotel lobby.
Another ten minutes later, the convenience store water was purchased, and the two students distributed the things to everyone. Everyone was responsible for taking their own and sharing the weight.
Twenty minutes later, everyone checked out, rushed to the train station, and boarded the night train to City B, Country D.
The students at that time did not know that on that night, in several places in City L, there were incidents of "peeling people" attacking passers-by. The police station and the hospital began to cooperate in treatment and investigation.
About ten hours later, the preliminary investigation results came out, and the person in charge uploaded the report.
Three hours later, City L began to set up roadblocks everywhere on the streets in the city, all police station personnel were armed, and the whole city began to be under martial law.
Before the preliminary investigation results came out, Youxi and his group had already boarded a long-distance passenger plane from City B, Country D to Country Hua.
Because they bought the tickets in a hurry and there were no direct flights, they bought connecting tickets and would transfer in Diguo.
**
You Xi nodded her chin lightly, and as soon as her head fell, she woke up from a half-asleep state.
This was a large double-aisle airliner. The lights on the night plane were all dimmed, leaving only a small part of the dim light. It was still night outside the window. She estimated that she only slept for about half an hour.
This was a seat at the back of the passenger cabin. The seats in the economy class were limited in size. The classmates had been busy for most of the night, and they were shocked and tired. At this moment, they all fell into a deep sleep.
She sat in a seat near the aisle, and next to her was Kong Lin. He leaned against the back of the chair with his eyes closed, and he also fell asleep.
Someone got up, passed by her, and went to the bathroom at the end of the cabin.
In the aisle next door, someone rang the call bell. The stewardess who was resting came over with a good temper, bent down and asked in a low voice if there was anything she needed.
Somewhere in the front seat, a baby cried.
...
At the same time, Youxi smelled the blood in the air.
