I don't know if Lu Yun was scared, but I stared at the child's corpse under the window and felt a chill run down my spine.
I couldn't find the child who spoke to me earlier in the whole house, but I did find this corpse. Could it be that the child who spoke to me earlier was really a ghost left here?
I dared not think about it, and followed in Lu Yun's footsteps, fleeing in panic.
Whether it's a ghost or not, I don't want to stay here anymore.
I ran downstairs, got in the car, started the engine, stepped on the gas, and left the town.
Lu Yun and I remained silent the entire way.
Lu Yun was clearly frightened by what I had just said. As for me, I really couldn't understand whether what I had just seen was a person or a ghost.
After a long while, still on the road, Lu Yun asked me, "Hey, Lu Xiaonan, did you scare me on purpose just now?"
I was speechless for a moment, and said, "Why would I need to lie to you?"
Lu Yun turned her head and stared at me, "Yes!"
I rolled my eyes. "If I wanted to lie to you, I could just tell you any ghost story. Why would I bother bringing a ladder and climbing up myself? I'm just asking for trouble!"
Lu Yun said, "I was the one who moved the ladder out, okay!"
I was speechless for a moment, and said, "Anyway, I really didn't lie to you about this. I did see a boy on the second floor just now. As for why he disappeared after I went up, I don't know. Maybe he ran away."
"Then how do you explain the corpse?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Maybe someone played a prank, or maybe I really saw a ghost. Oh well, let's just let this go. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, and we won't be coming here again."
Lu Yun didn't dwell on the matter anymore and sat in the passenger seat without saying a word.
To be honest, I'm still a little shaken. I still can't figure out if that boy was a ghost or not. Maybe I was hallucinating?
Never mind, nothing happened anyway.
If it's a ghost, then it must be a ghost.
Before long, we returned to the deserted community. The car Fei Lichao found was an ordinary sedan, but since there were only four of us, it could hold quite a lot of things.
To prepare for a long journey ahead, we need to be fully prepared so that we can live better on the road ahead.
Afterwards, Lu Yun told Fei Lichao and Sister Jing what had just happened. Sister Jing and the other two didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the child had run away, rather than that she had encountered a ghost.
I have not commented on this.
So the matter was dropped.
...
Two days later, around 7:30 in the morning.
The sky was a bit overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.
However, since we had already decided to leave today, we didn't plan to stay here for long. Before it rained, the four of us set off.
To make it easier to take care of Fei Lichao, Fei Lichao and I rode in the pickup truck, while Sister Jing and Sister Lu Yun followed us in the car behind.
As for where the destination is, I don't know; I can only keep going as I go.
In the car, I picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Sister Jing, is your car okay?"
A moment later, the walkie-talkie rang, and Sister Jing said, "No problem, there's still plenty of gas left."
I said, "Okay, then you guys stay close."
Actually, I wasn't driving very fast, only about 50 or 60 miles per hour. Although that speed wasn't fast, the zombies couldn't catch up with us, so we were quite safe the whole way. Also, we didn't take the highway; we kept taking the main roads, where there were fewer vehicles and fewer zombies, which was very convenient for us.
As they traveled along, the weather grew increasingly gloomy.
Half an hour later, we left the area of Jiajiang City.
Then, a torrential downpour struck.
Splash...
Almost instantly, the gloomy sky began to rain, and the torrential downpour instantly obscured the road ahead, making it impossible for us to see what was happening.
So I slowed down and wanted to continue, but Fei Lichao said, "Xiaonan, stop the car. This weather is terrible, you can't walk."
"Okay." I nodded and stopped the car.
The windshield wipers were hanging on the outside of the windshield, but because of the heavy rain, they were completely ineffective. As soon as they were hung up, the heavy rain instantly flooded the windshield, making it impossible to see anything outside.
After I stopped the car, I picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Sister Jing, how are you? Are you alright?"
Sister Jing said, "It's alright, it's alright, it's just that the rain is getting heavier and I can't see you anymore."
Fei Lichao and I exchanged a glance and said, "Let's wait a bit. This rain probably won't last too long. We should be able to see you soon."
"good."
I continued, "Sister Jing, if anything happens, please let us know. I think you're not far behind us, so please tell us immediately if anything happens."
"Ugh, I know, I know, aren't you annoying me?" Lu Yun's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie.
"Okay." I gave a helpless, bitter smile.
Fei Lichao raised an eyebrow, then his face contorted in a grimace as he clutched his severed left hand with his right and gasped for breath.
I knew he must be in pain again.
"Xiaonan, do you have a cigarette?" Fei Lichao was in excruciating pain, so he asked.
I frowned slightly. "You still want to smoke like this?"
Fei Lichao cursed, "Nonsense! I'm in so much pain, at least let me have a smoke to calm down!"
Smoking in this situation is not good, but seeing his expression, I couldn't bear it. I took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, opened it, and pulled one out. Fei Lichao decisively snatched it from me and put it in his mouth.
"Where's the fire!"
I took out my lighter and lit it for him.
To prevent the car from smelling of smoke, I opened the rear window, and immediately the sound of torrential rain poured into the car.
I lit one for myself and said, "You can only have one. I won't give you any more."
"I know, I know." Fei Lichao frowned, took a couple of puffs, and the ferocity on his face disappeared, making him look much more comfortable.
Seeing him like this, I always feel like he's trying to trick me into giving him cigarettes.
I shook my head. Whether he was trying to trick me into giving him cigarettes or not, I'd already taken them. What could I possibly expect him to give them back?
Smoke was wafting from the car, and the two rear windows were ajar, through which the smoke drifted out.
Listening to the sound of rain outside, I suddenly felt a sense of reality.
The torrential rain dispelled the original heat.
I looked at the heavy rain outside and laughed.
Hearing my laughter, Fei Lichao asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
I said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking how good it is that I'm still alive."
“…” Fei Lichao cursed, “You’re sick.”
