Chapter 5: Zombies Attack the Community
Chen Xun choked on his own saliva and his face turned red.
Zhao Nanyu stopped teasing him, motioned him to take off his coat, and pulled his elbow to look at it again and again.
"Is there a medicine box at home?"
A cotton swab dipped in iodine was carefully applied to the wound for disinfection. From time to time, Zhao Nanyu lowered his head and blew on the wound a few times. Chen Xun's heart softened.
"It's time for dinner." Chen's mother shouted.
At the dinner table, Chen Zhou, his father, and his mother all had poor appetites, but Zhao Nanyu and Chen Xun were the only ones who ate their food in big mouthfuls like starving ghosts.
After eating, Zhao Nanyu returned to Chen Xun's room and fell asleep on the bed where his scent still lingered.
Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear Chen's mother expressing her dissatisfaction with her to someone.
She turned over and ignored what was happening outside.
Chen Xun came in and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he covered her tightly with the quilt, touched her feet, and found that they were not cold, then quietly left.
In the community owners group, many people forwarded the video one after another.
In this information age, it is impossible to hide the truth.
After watching a few, Chen Zhou couldn't bear to watch any more. He wanted to make another phone call to confirm the safety of his wife and son.
Chen Xun was smoking on the windowsill, thinking more.
As early as an hour before the morning news report, ticket sales had been suspended at all stations.
What about communications? Water, electricity, food, public security?
Although the airport has a large flow of people, it is only a small part of a city. Today, even a small airport cannot control the situation.
What would they do if there was no rescue?
Waiting to die?
No, we can't just sit there and wait for death.
He dragged the sofa in front of the door and then moved in cabinets, tables and chairs.
The third cigarette was half burned when a loud noise came from the room.
Chen Xun hurriedly pushed the door open and saw Zhao Nanyu curled up with tears on her face.
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Nanyu opened her arms slightly, and Chen Xun stepped forward and hugged her.
"I had a nightmare. My flesh was bitten off, and then I turned into a zombie. It was so ugly."
After being bitten, do you still care whether it is ugly or not?
Chen Xun smiled helplessly, hugged Zhao Nanyu's trembling body tightly, and gently comforted him: "No, it was a dream, fake. You are beautiful."
Chen Xunsheng brought out two servings of dinner and brought them into the room for them to eat. Chen's mother scolded him again about this matter.
"If you don't know, you might think you're some kind of young lady. You don't even have hands, yet you still have to eat in your room. What a big deal."
When Zhao Nanyu heard this, he wanted to argue.
Chen Xun stopped her and coaxed her again, "Eat first, then you can go to fight after you are full."
Seeing what he said, Zhao Nanyu punched him on the chest and laughed.
Then he said seriously: "Come over later at night. I have something important to tell you."
In the early morning, Chen's father, mother and Chen Zhou were all asleep, and Chen Xun sneaked out of Chen Zhou's room.
Zhao Nanyu's door was not closed tightly. When Chen Xun came in, Zhao Nanyu waved to him and patted the seat beside the bed.
Isn’t this a bit bad?
He had some wrong ideas.
As soon as the door was locked, the atmosphere became ambiguous.
Chen Xun took a deep breath, followed Zhao Nanyu's instructions, took off his shoes and got into bed.
Zhao Nanyu moved closer to him, his breathing right next to his ear. He suddenly felt a little hot and his body tensed.
"Let me tell you, I have awakened space and wood abilities."
???
What?
Chen Xun looked into Zhao Nanyu's eyes, and there was no sign of sincerity in his eyes that he was joking.
Zhao Nanyu rolled his eyes at him and pulled his hand, asking him to look carefully.
"yogurt."
A box of yogurt appeared in her hand.
"Hot and sour noodles."
A bag of hot and sour noodles fell on the bed.
“Chinese cabbage.”
A large cabbage rolled at his feet.
So, sticks and hoes in the daytime?
Zhao Nanyu silently pointed at herself and nodded. Yes, I am really good.
Chen Xun opened his eyes wide and just as he was about to swear, Zhao Nanyu covered his mouth tightly.
"Speak softly, don't wake them up."
Chen Xun also realized that the fewer people knew about this, the better.
He lowered his voice and asked, "What about the wood-related ability?"
At least she knew that space was used to store things, and Zhao Nanyu actually had only a vague understanding of wood-related abilities.
She extended her index finger and swayed the vine from side to side. Chen Xun looked at it and touched it curiously.
"Is it under your control?"
Zhao Nanyu thought about the shattered cup and said, "Hmm."
He added, "Maybe it can kill zombies."
Chen Xun spent the entire afternoon collecting information about the current zombie virus, and he didn't find any news about people with super powers.
Therefore, it is very likely that Zhao Nanyu is the only one with superpowers now.
The only thing scarier than zombies is a person with super powers.
"No, it's too dangerous. Only the two of us can know about your special ability. No third person can know about it." Chen Xun repeatedly reminded him worriedly.
"Also, you are not allowed to use your powers anymore. Tell me before you do anything. Do you understand?"
The two of them were whispering. The man's tone was serious and his eyes were concerned. Zhao Nanyu was secretly happy and leaned his head on Chen Xun's shoulder as he wished.
Chen Xun did not reject her intimacy. He subconsciously pulled up the quilt that had slipped down, and kept his hand on Zhao Nanyu's waist without letting go.
Closing my eyes, I enjoy the tranquility of the moment, as if I have already prepared myself mentally to face the unknown storm.
That night, Chen Xun stayed in Zhao Nanyu's room until the sky turned light.
When I returned to the room, Chen Zhou was leaning against the head of the bed, his eyes dull, and he didn't look like he had slept at all.
Chen Xun thought carefully, making sure that their conversation could not have been overheard. He sighed again and patted Chen Zhou on the shoulder. "Brother, my sister-in-law and the others will be fine."
The second day of the Lunar New Year is a good day to visit relatives and go back to one’s parents’ home to pay New Year’s greetings.
Chen's mother took out the leftover food from New Year's Eve and heated it up. Zhao Nanyu looked at the huge stew in front of him, not knowing whether it was vermicelli or paste, and felt worried.
Chen Xun was amused by the brave man's appearance of eating with great courage. He then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a large piece of fresh lettuce in front of Chen's father and put it into Zhao Nanyu's bowl.
When Chen's mother saw this, she was furious. She picked up the chopsticks and took a big bite for herself to prevent others from eating all the food.
With a "bang", there was a sound of a violent collision somewhere downstairs.
The next second, the residents who stuck their heads out let out endless screams of fear.
Chen Xun and Chen Zhou quickly dropped their bowls and chopsticks and stood up, "Damn it."
Three or two monsters would catch the residents living on the first floor and eat them.
Mother Chen's face was filled with anxiety, and Father Chen's eyes were filled with surprise. "Are you eating people?"
Before the zombie raised its head to look around, Zhao Nanyu pulled the curtains, and the entire room was instantly dark.
He quickly commanded: "Block the door, block the door quickly."
Although there are sofas, cabinets, tables and chairs piled up in front of the door, it is not enough, far from enough.
"Is there anything sturdy like an iron frame at home? We must reinforce the door."
Without saying a word, the two brothers Chen Xun and Chen Zhou began to dismantle the house, starting with the furniture.
Taking advantage of the constant screams around them, the Chen family sealed the doors and windows in a panic.
At the same time, the last bit of hope for rescue in Chen Xun and Zhao Nanyu's hearts was shattered. The zombies came so quickly, they could not wait any longer and could not waste any more time. They had to save themselves.
