In a room of about twenty square meters, one man and three women sat at a table playing mahjong.
Upon seeing Jiang Wu suddenly barge in, the three women were all so frightened that they hid inside.
Only the burly, bearded man suddenly stood up and went to the side to grab a kitchen knife.
Before he could take two steps, Jiang Wu had already placed a knife against his neck.
The bearded man froze on the spot, then raised his hands and said with a fawning smile, "Brother, let's talk this over."
Jiang Wu searched his body and confirmed that he was not carrying any firearms.
Then he asked, "Have you been hiding here all this time? How many of you are there?"
The bearded man hurriedly said, "We've been here the whole time, there are five of us in total, plus a nerd. He should be on the third floor now. Don't worry, he won't pose any threat to you."
Jiang Wu picked up two large kitchen knives from the cabinet next to him and asked, "Did you kill all the zombies down there?"
The bearded man swallowed hard, his face contorted with grief, and said, "Brother, I'm no threat to you at all, really. I'm just a cook, I've never been in a fight before."
Jiang Wu locked the door from the inside and sat down on the chair next to it.
Looking at the bearded man and the three women inside, he said leisurely, "Tell me about yourself."
He wasn't afraid of the four men playing tricks on him.
With his current eyesight and reflexes, he can react to any of the four people's actions.
The bearded man explained in detail, "My name is Sun Dagui, but everyone calls me Fatty Sun. I used to be the head chef at a resort..."
With Fatty Sun leading the way, everyone spoke in great detail.
Jiang Wu roughly understood the origins of these people.
Sun Pangzi and the three women were all locals and employees of the resort.
The remaining bookworm was a tourist visiting the area.
When the disaster struck, Fatty Sun was on a date with one of the women in the kitchen of the main building.
For safety reasons, he had just closed the door.
After their date ended, they discovered that the outside world was in complete chaos.
Fatty Sun was a coward who was afraid of death, so he immediately locked the kitchen door again, thus avoiding the initial and most chaotic wave.
Later, two more people knocked on the kitchen door. Fatty Sun let them in because they were from the same hometown and had been colleagues for many years.
They lived comfortably thanks to the food and water in the kitchen.
I spent about ten days in the kitchen, where the continuous heavy rain had lowered the room temperature considerably.
They were thinly dressed and became so cold at night that they tried to find some clothes and blankets to get.
It was at this time that they discovered most of the zombies had gone out to drink rainwater, and there weren't many zombies left in the main building.
Sun Pangzi was also going all out. Carrying two kitchen knives, and with the help of three women, the four of them fought their way into the main building's warehouse.
That period was the most comfortable time of their lives; they lacked nothing.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. One day, a woman discovered that some zombies had entered the main building again to search for survivors.
Moreover, those zombies were clearly different.
Some of the hidden survivors were found, and their horrific screams could be heard throughout the entire corridor.
The four of them panicked.
The supplies warehouse is on the third floor, so it's impossible to go back to the kitchen on the first floor, let alone use the main entrance.
They could only block the warehouse door, then found some hemp rope inside, tied it into a knot, and lowered it through the window.
The four of them stumbled and staggered their way out of the third-floor supply warehouse.
Finally, they entered the most secluded vacation house, where the nerd had been staying the whole time.
"...Big brother, that bookworm is so lifeless, he just sits in his study on the third floor all day, he's a total shut-in, you don't need to worry about him at all," Fatty Sun said with a fawning smile.
"Oh, are you worried that I'll kill him?" Jiang Wu's expression was calm.
Fatty Sun quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I think you're a reasonable person, brother."
Jiang Wu laughed and asked, "Why are you so afraid of me? Do I look like a murderer?"
Fatty Sun paused, then smiled bitterly, "Brother, it's the apocalypse. During this time, while we were hiding in the building, we witnessed people cutting down their fellow escapees to lure away zombies. We also saw fathers throwing their infants out to attract zombies while they escaped. The world has gone awry..."
Jiang Wu glanced at the three women hiding behind Fatty Sun and sighed, "It's quite remarkable that someone like you has survived this long."
Fatty Sun scratched his head, unsure of what to say.
Jiang Wu didn't bother with any more words and went straight to the third floor. He wanted to confirm that the bookworm that Fatty Sun had mentioned was indeed no threat.
After thinking for a moment, Fatty Sun followed Jiang Wu upstairs.
Five pieces of cured and smoked meat, weighing about ten kilograms, were hanging in the living room on the third floor. Jiang Wu only glanced at them casually.
Jiang Wu's single glance startled Fatty Sun quite a bit.
This meat is the last of its kind.
If Jiang Wu takes them all, the five of them will never get to eat meat again.
Fatty Sun has always been a meat lover.
Now, he can only afford to eat one or two slices of cured meat with each meal to satisfy his craving. If all of that meat were taken away, he would be heartbroken.
Seeing that Jiang Wu wasn't very interested in the meat, Fatty Sun quickly went to a nearby closed room and knocked on the door, saying, "Bookworm, come out! It's urgent!"
He knew that Jiang Wu had come up to confirm the identity of the bookworm.
He rose from an ordinary cook to head chef at the resort, and besides his culinary skills, he was also adept at reading people and situations.
The door opened quickly, and a thin young man, only about 1.7 meters tall, walked out.
He had short, choppy hair, wore glasses, and looked very refined.
However, his eyes seemed to have lost their light.
Looking into his eyes, four words came to Jiang Wu's mind: lifeless.
"Bookworm, come and meet your big brother!"
Fatty Sun sounded somewhat anxious.
But the bespectacled young man only glanced at Jiang Wu, then stood there without saying a word, motionless.
Jiang Wu looked at Fatty Sun and asked, "What happened to him?"
Fatty Sun sighed and whispered in Jiang Wu's ear, "Brother, when we first came to this house, there were four corpses on the first floor. It seems that the bookworm's parents turned into zombies and ate his two younger sisters. Then the bookworm killed all the zombies that his parents had turned into."
Jiang Wu glanced at the bookworm with pity, said nothing more, and turned to walk downstairs.
Just thinking about Su Ziyu or Bai Feiming being eaten by zombies makes me feel like I'm dying.
This bookworm is in a really bad situation.
Fatty Sun glanced back at the dozen or so kilograms of cured and smoked meat hanging on the ceiling and felt somewhat relieved.
He quickly followed Jiang Wu and said with a fawning smile, "Brother, I don't know what your purpose is in coming here this time. I can be of service to you, but I am a little timid, so I hope you will forgive me."
Jiang Wu glanced at Fatty Sun and said calmly, "We'll be living here from now on, tentatively in the first small building on the right side of the entrance. If we ever encounter any danger, we can come find me."
Fatty Sun nodded repeatedly, grinning as he said, "Okay, big brother! Definitely!"
