Ruan Jiyan quickly opened the curtains again, but did not see the man again, as if nothing had happened.
Fang Ming and Chen Xi ran out of the room, their hair was a little messy. They bumped into each other at the door. Fang Ming looked at Chen Xi to make sure she was okay before walking to the living room and asking Ruan Jiyan, "What happened? Someone seemed to call you just now?"
Ruan Jiyan looked at the place downstairs where the woman had just fallen and said, "Someone just fell from the building..."
The two of them went up to take a look, but they no longer saw the woman that Ruan Jiyan mentioned.
"woman?"
Apart from a vague pool of blood, there was no sign of a woman downstairs.
Logically speaking, the woman screamed when she fell, which means she was not a zombie. However, if she fell from the sixth floor, it would be impossible for her to be alive after falling like that.
Then... where did that woman go, and why was she able to leave?
Chen Xi sneezed and then rubbed his arm.
The weather is getting colder and colder. I felt like I was going to catch a cold after standing on the balcony for a while.
"Sister Ruan, come in quickly, it's so cold outside." She muttered and went to the kitchen to boil water.
Ruan Jiyan looked back and forth between the bloodstain downstairs and the balcony on the sixth floor opposite, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Ruan Jiyan slammed the balcony door shut, somewhat absent-mindedly.
I have to get to know the surrounding environment clearly within these two days and move out of here as soon as possible, Ruan Jiyan thought to himself.
Things are getting weird here.
In the morning, the alarm clock rang at 8:30.
Chen Xi was wearing a thick pajamas that wrapped herself tightly, with Cai Cai lying in her arms.
Ruan Jiyan was doing sit-ups on a mat on the ground. When he heard the alarm, he quickly got up and turned it off.
The entire space in the house was still pitch black. Ruan Jiyan walked to the balcony and opened the thick double-layer curtains.
It was already past eight o'clock, and the sun that was supposed to rise over the city in the east was now nowhere to be seen.
The whole sky was still somewhat dim. If the alarm had not just rung, Ruan Jiyan might have thought it was only three o'clock in the morning.
The lights on the roadside were also off, and the whole city was as silent as if it had fallen into death.
Ruan Jiyan closed the curtains, walked to the coffee table, picked up the remote control, and pressed it twice. The lights in the room did not light up, and the air conditioner stopped running.
"The power is out." Ruan Jiyan's tone was flat, and it was obvious what her mood was.
"Ah, so sudden?" Chen Xi raised his head, which was originally hanging on the sofa back, in surprise.
"Yes," Ruan Jiyan said, "When the doomsday breaks out, these situations will happen sooner or later, leaving no chance for people to react."
She unplugged her computer, which had been plugged in all the time, and her cell phone, tablet, and power bank, which she had just charged last night.
He had never used any power banks, but Ruan Jiyan didn't know whether those power banks consumed their own power, so he would take them out to charge every night.
She pressed the power button one by one and checked, and found that every power bank was fully charged, and then she slowly felt relieved.
After checking the power bank, Ruan Jiyan stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Power outages and water outages were the two most likely scenarios she could foresee following a zombie outbreak, and they would likely occur in a short time interval.
So after the power outage, the first thing she thought of was to check if there was still water.
The faucet was flowing with a sound, and the gurgling sound of water calmed Ruan Jiyan down a little.
I'm thankful that the water and power outages did not occur at the same time. At least there is water available now.
Ruan Jiyan called two people to help, and the three of them worked together to fill all the water containers in the house, big and small, with water.
"I won't be able to take hot baths anymore..." Chen Xi said with some regret.
The closer it gets to winter, the stronger my desire for warmth becomes. As I was talking, it seemed to be getting colder. Chen Xi put the basin in the bathroom and stretched his head to see if the sun had risen outside.
I opened the curtains and looked out, but it was still pitch black.
She seemed to have thought of something incredible, her eyes widened, and she walked quickly to Ruan Jiyan and told him her guess.
"Sister Ruan, there is no sun in the sky!"
“…”
Fang Ming tapped her head and said, "What do you mean there's no sun? Maybe it just happened to be cloudy today."
Chen Xi's face was very ugly. She slapped his hand away and didn't believe him at all: "Look at what time it is now. It's so dark. How can it be caused by a simple cloudy sky?"
It is already past nine in the morning, but it is dark outside the window, which gives me an eerie feeling.
The smile on Fang Ming's face froze and he didn't know what to say.
He didn't quite believe what Chen Xi said at first, but after opening the curtains he was stunned.
Ruan Jiyan expressed his worst guess, "Everything that changes in the world has signs, zombies, water and power outages, a blood-red moon... maybe there will be a series of natural and man-made disasters such as extreme day and night, extreme cold and heat."
She knew very well that this was just a game copy, and that this would be the situation if she followed the normal routine.
Now everything seems to be as she expected. "Whether it is the case or not, we have to pack up everything and leave within this week, the sooner the better."
Judging from the current situation, if the polar night really comes, then people will be very sad here.
Zombies are several times more agile at night than during the day, and they are also more crazy than during the day. A door like this can only block them for a period of time. It is only a matter of time and number for more and more crazy zombies to break in.
It will be even harder for them to leave here then.
Ruan Jiyan walked to the kitchen, took out three bags of bread and milk from the overhead cabinet, and handed them to the two people.
"There's no electricity, so we can't make fresh food or heat up the milk. Let's just eat what we have together." She lowered her head and took two bites of bread.
After eating, Ruan Jiyan walked to the bedroom, found a pile of old T-shirts that he no longer wore, and took out a pair of scissors to cut the clothes into relatively even strips. He then wrapped them around his legs, feet, waist, abdomen, and wrists, carefully covering all the exposed areas that were not covered by the clothes.
Her technique is very skillful, and she wraps it tightly without making it too tight to stretch.
Fang Ming also got some of the food. Before the two of them went out, the cloth strips they wrapped around their bodies were a little bulging, like they were carrying a few carrots on their backs.
Chen Xi was still a little worried. It was pitch black outside. She stood at the door and looked at the two people who were about to leave: "Be careful."
After saying that, the door closed.
The two people had no idea what was happening outside the door. Ruan Ji Yan opened and closed the door very quickly, always paying attention to the movements in the corridor outside the door, fearing that a few zombies would pop out from somewhere in the next second.
Because of the power outage, the entire corridor was dark. It was darker than home, and Ruan Jiyan was able to adapt himself when he walked out.
The two of them moved very quietly, but still made a loud noise in the empty stairwell.
Ruan Jiyan had a folding knife on her waist and held the clothesline that she had made herself in her hand. Fang Ming walked behind her, observing the situation behind her.
The elevator had stopped operating because it had no power, and the safety of the stairwell was uncertain, so the two did not walk down together.
The two of them held onto the handrails on the side of the stairs and walked down step by step. When they reached the staircase on the fourth floor, Ruan Jiyan stopped gently and listened carefully to the movements in the corridor on the fourth floor.
There were smaller footsteps and heavy breathing in the corridor, and I knew there were zombies there.
Ruan Jiyan turned around and signaled Fang Ming to walk away quietly so as not to attract the attention of the zombies.
The two men walked down to the fourth floor, and without a moment's hesitation, they walked down to the third and second floors.
Fortunately, no one encountered zombies head-on.
When he reached the first floor, Ruan Jiyan stopped at the corner of the stairs and stretched his head to see the situation on the first floor.
The emergency lights were on, lighting up almost the entire first floor. In addition to the lobby, there were also vending machines on the first floor.
Looking at the two vending machines, the drinks and instant noodles inside made Ruan Jiyan want to take them all away.
But now is not the time, come back and get it next time.
There is no emergency power supply on the stairs leading to the underground garage on the first floor, but there are still emergency lights on when you go down the stairs to the garage entrance, and there is one light on every two pillars.
"This is a good thing." Ruan Ji Yan thought, this way they could see clearly where the zombies were in the underground garage and how many there were.
It is convenient to take the initiative and avoid risks.
Just a moment later, there was a sharp honking of a car horn in the distance, which startled both of them.
The horn didn't stop immediately. The people in the car that made the sound seemed to have no idea what was happening around them. They kept honking the horn, and the sound continued without interruption.
Fang Minghun tensed up and started to curse angrily: "Who is that person in the car? How dare he honk the horn when there are so many monsters around? Do you think he has lived too long?"
The sharp sound pierced his ears, and Ruan Jiyan couldn't help but start to get annoyed.
What's going on with this guy? The zombie outbreak has been going on for several days already. He can't be trapped in the car forever. According to people's desire to survive, staying in a dark and cramped space would make people feel even more uneasy. He can't stay in the car forever.
And the car was not that sturdy, so Ruan Jiyan guessed that the man must have some purpose, maybe he deliberately attracted the zombies.
This cannot go on, there will definitely be many zombies coming from all corners in search of the sound. Ruan Jiyan clenched her fists, she wanted to go and see what that man was going to do!
She walked towards the sound, her left hand tightly grasping the clothesline covered with razor blades, and her right hand on her waist, touching the folding knife on her body.
Fang Ming followed her, moving forward step by step. If the person honking the horn wanted to attract the zombies over, then there must be a way to kill the zombies. Maybe he could get help if he went to have a look.
The shoes rubbed against the floor, making a slight rustling sound, and the closer they got, the more nervous they became.
When I walked in front of the car, I couldn't see the face of the person sitting in the car clearly. The car happened to be in the blind spot of the emergency light, and the black car looked even darker.
Ruan Jiyan slowly approached the car door and knocked on the driver's seat window, signaling the person inside to lower the window.
But after waiting for a few seconds, no one lowered the window, so Ruan Jiyan tapped the window twice.
The next second, the car door opened a crack with a click.
Ruan Jiyan frowned. Why was there a sudden smell of blood and rot?
"Aaaaaaah..." Suddenly, the car door was pushed open and a zombie on the driver's seat suddenly pounced towards Ruan Jiyan and grinned at them.
Ruan Jiyan took two steps back quickly, a look of surprise on her face. The person sitting in the car was not a human at all, but a zombie. She could tell from the smell of blood and rottenness when the car door was opened a crack just now.
The zombie kept trying to climb out, but the seat belt restrained it, so it could only scream and bark its teeth in the driver's seat.
"Let's go!" Ruan Jiyan suddenly thought of something and pulled Fang Ming's sleeve.
Although there were no more car horns, Ruan Jiyan could hear faint footsteps and breathing sounds not far away.
The zombies are coming!
The footsteps came closer from far away, from slow to fast.
Before they could run two steps, they were surrounded by zombies. Ruan Jiyan stood up straight, drew the folding knife from his waist, and prepared for battle.
Zombies slowly began to gather around them, and the monsters slithered towards the two of them, their mouths full of blood and saliva. Their rotten flesh fell off as it rubbed against the ground, sticking to the ground and leaving a trail of blood.
"Fuck!" Fang Ming held a baseball bat in both hands, and stood back to back with Ruan Jiyan, unable to help but shout.
"Run if you can, fight as little as possible and conserve your energy." Ruan Ji Yan said as she picked up the clothesline and chopped at the zombie that was flying towards her.
Ruan Jiyan hit the zombie on the head from above and it fell to the ground immediately.
Ruan Jiyan attacked and withdrew very quickly because there were so many zombies, which kept rushing towards them.
She kept swinging her knife at the zombies. As one fell, another took its place. Ruan Jiyan and Fang Ming were forced to keep a distance from each other.
She gritted her teeth and hit the zombie with the clothesline. Suddenly, the zombie rushed over from behind her. Ruan Jiyan reacted quickly and dodged it, but the knife that she casually put on her waist fell to her feet.
Ruan Jiyan kicked the zombie in front of him away and tried to bend down to pick up the knife.
Just as she bent down halfway, a zombie fell on her. Fortunately, Ruan Jiyan had several layers of cloth wrapped around her neck. She quickly stood up and poked the zombie with the clothesline.
But the monster still held Ruan Jiyan's hair tightly, and the grip was getting tighter and tighter.
"Fuck!" Ruan Ji Yan couldn't help but curse in pain.
The zombie was covered in blood, its mouth wide open as if trying to bite Ruan Jiyan. A strong fishy and foul smell rushed into his nose, the smell was so strong that it made him want to vomit. The skin and flesh on its face had already rotted, the cheekbones had been torn apart, the white bones were about to burst out of the cheeks, and there was still a small piece of flesh hanging on it that had not been torn off. The mouth was torn, and the teeth were also covered with blood and flesh, which was terrifying to look at.
Fortunately, there weren't too many zombies. Fang Ming had already broken free from the zombies' restraints. He turned around and saw a zombie crawling on Ruan Jiyan's body, and hurried over.
Ruan Jiyan held the zombie's head with both hands. The two heads were only a palm's distance apart. Her fingers had already dug into the rotten flesh on the zombie's face. Her hands were covered with yellow and red mucus.
Ruan Jiyan was trying hard to restrain herself from vomiting. She held her breath slightly, gritted her teeth and called Fang Ming.
"Lower your head!" Fang Ming shouted behind her, and the moment Ruan Jiyan lowered her head, he swung the baseball bat in his hand.
The bones collided with the iron rod, making a sound that made the bones go soft. All of a sudden, Ruan Jiyan's hand felt the force, and the zombie that was grabbing her hair and trying to bite her fell to the ground.
Fang Ming swung the baseball bat with great force, and the head of the zombie that fell to the ground was tilted. Blood gushed out from somewhere and splashed onto Ruan Jiyan's face and clothes. She was filled with the smell of rotten blood.
She coughed twice, quickly bent down to pick up the folding knife, and then the two of them quickly ran towards the stairwell.
These zombies were probably closer, so they ran over quickly when they heard the car noise. Other zombies outside the underground garage or on the first floor of the residential building might have also followed the sound to the underground garage. They just dealt with these zombies for a while, and to avoid facing more zombies head-on, they had to leave quickly.
The surroundings were pitch black. The two men ran to the stairs and stopped, their steps becoming slower.
Fang Ming also remembered to close and lock the door connecting the staircase entrance and the underground garage behind him.
Just after closing the thick glass door, Fang Ming could still hear some roaring coming from outside the door. He saw the zombie that was originally trapped in the car break free from the seat belt and run towards them, roaring.
Bang—the zombie smashed the glass door violently, and a bloody streak instantly appeared on the glass. The sound was so loud that it startled the two people inside the door.
Ruan Jiyan walked over, jumped up, and pulled down the roller shutter door above, completely isolating them from the zombies.
Afterwards, Ruan Jiyan walked in front in the dark, holding the clothesline in his hand, and walked up carefully step by step.
People's senses are more sensitive in a dark environment. The same is true for zombies. Although their vision is weakened, their sense of smell and hearing are particularly sensitive.
The sharp sound of cars in the underground garage just now attracted many zombies, but the sound suddenly stopped, and they lost their direction and could only wander around in place.
When Ruan Jiyan reached the corner of the stairs, he heard faint footsteps and the groaning of zombies at the entrance of the first floor.
Ruan Jiyan straightened his back and began to get nervous. He wondered how many zombies there were up there. If there were fewer, he could still handle them. But if there were more, it would be inconvenient. The noise from the zombies would attract more monsters!
Fang Ming saw her stop and did not ask her. He also guessed what Ruan Jiyan saw.
Then, in the darkness, he saw Ruan Jiyan look back at him, then stretch out his hand and raise three fingers.
three.
two.
one.
Ruan Jiyan ran up quickly and he followed closely behind.
Sure enough, there was a zombie standing at the entrance of the stairs. Upon hearing the quick footsteps, it suddenly opened its bloody mouth and roared.
Ruan Jiyan took two steps at a time and walked forward, stabbing the zombie's gray, evil head with his folding knife before it opened its mouth.
