When the Sun Rises
The dark sky was like poisonous lead, a deadly mist floated between heaven and earth, and fine gray particles added a thin layer of gray quartz-like substance to the windows.
Xiao Chi stood in front of the window, overlooking the hazy building.
His gloomy reflection was reflected in the window, full of hostility.
The members of the Red Team were all extremely unhappy with him and did not dare to say anything that might anger the captain.
The rules updated at 9 o'clock are almost the same as those updated at 9 o'clock a few days ago. The only difference is that there is no restriction on the floors they can visit, allowing them to move freely in the building.
The Red Team did not go out, but sorted out the remaining food and bottled water.
After two days of looting, they returned with a full load.
The only female member of the Red Team, Xueyan, was playing with the can of luncheon meat in her hand, and she asked the man with the buzz cut next to her quietly, "What's wrong with the captain?"
The crew cut stole a glance at the indifferent Xiao Chi, and then dared to whisper: "You have only been transferred to the main team for a month, of course you don't know. The captain is angry that there is no chance to play against the Green Team. Also, every time we go out to kill someone, the rules of not going out are updated for no reason. It's so uncomfortable, and everyone would be unhappy."
"Team Fluorescent Green?" Xueyan was disdainful, without any of the tenderness she showed when coaxing her neighbors. "The guys from Section 2? Are they worthy of fighting us?"
"Hush!" The crew-haired man glanced at Xiao Chi fearfully. "Don't talk nonsense, or the captain will tear your head off."
She was suspicious.
"Don't disbelieve me, the captain has a strange obsession with the Fluorescent Green Team. Last time, someone in the team suggested that they take the opportunity when the captain of the Fluorescent Green Team broke into the Red Block to kill her, but who knew that the captain broke the man's neck on the spot."
The crew cut said as he moved away from the blood swallow who might be looking for death. "As a senior, I kindly remind you not to mention the Green Team or say bad things about the Green Team."
Xueyan curled her lips and did not comment.
As a woman, she was jealous that others could be the captain of the Fluorescent Green Team, while she herself could only be a member of the team who had to observe people's words and expressions.
In the gray downstairs, two people ran out of the residential building, unharmed.
There was a hint of excitement in Xiao Chi's eyes.
He drew a faint circle on the window, like an Ouroboros.
We'll see you soon.
Captain Deer.
Two figures walked through the children's playground downstairs.
Soon, Lu Miao saw a person running out of the building. The other person was wearing a translucent white raincoat.
In a blink of an eye, the man's flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a hazy blood mist was sprayed out.
Only the diseased "natives" can leave the residential building or even the community.
After 9 o'clock, the Fluorescent Green Team went out once.
Lu Miao sent a note to 701.
——Don’t fall asleep.
If the woman in 701 accidentally fell asleep, both sides would fail.
The day was the calm before the storm.
At night, the hidden crisis quietly arrived.
“Oh…”
They couldn't help yawning one after another.
My eyelids felt like they were coated with glue and kept sticking together; my head felt dizzy and aching as if it was about to split open, and my stomach rumbled constantly.
They only drank water and did not eat during the day, saving nutrients until the end of the night.
However, I fed the closet a lot of garbage, resulting in the blank spaces on the two latest rule papers being filled with "So yucky!!!"
At this moment, Lu Miao looked at his watch and felt very miserable.
It’s just past 1 o’clock.
"How about...we play multiples of 3?" Wang Keke, who was almost unable to open her eyes, suggested: "We need to stand up and clap our hands. It will definitely wake us up."
Shuffle the cards immediately on the weekend.
Five people sat around the coffee table, and there were six pairs of hands holding cards.
However, the five experienced men had a rope tied around their wrists.
Yu Xiaowan put down the "6" and reacted two beats late.
"Sister Xiaowan, you need to stand up."
“Oh…yeah…”
Yu Xiaowan, who was playing for the first time, made frequent mistakes and the number of poker cards in her hand grew.
"I don't have any cards anymore." Weekend showed a kind smile.
Everyone thought it was bad, and folded their hands obediently. One by one, Yu Xiaowan, who was the most helpless, was a step late and had to fold her hands on top.
Weekend slowly raised his hand. "No, put it back."
Yu Xiaowan had a bitter face, but the back of her hand was still forced to be placed at the top.
Bang!
The loud sound drove away the sleepiness and everyone became much more awake.
"You have to be gentler towards ladies." Wang Keke felt sorry for Yu Xiaowan whose face turned red after being slapped.
He said confidently: "It's loud enough to help everyone wake up. Look, no one is sleepy anymore."
"hehe."
"Go on!" Yu Xiaowan wanted to avenge her previous humiliation.
…
Since someone was always slapped on the back of his hand, Lu Miao suggested playing the Big Two game instead, and the loser would use a clothespin to pinch himself.
By 5 o'clock, the five people had clothespins stuck in their hair and ears.
5:55.
Yu Xiaowan suddenly shuddered, and once again felt something was wrong. She quickly put down the cards in her hand and ran to the children's room where the new rules would appear.
"The rules have been updated!" She came back excitedly with the rule sheet. "It's an emergency notice!"
"What?"
Emergency Notice
Good evening, dear owners! We have just received an emergency notice from our superiors, requiring all owners to cooperate with the government in prevention and control work!
1. Please do not go out.
2. Please stay calm and do not panic if you hear any loud noises.
3. Close doors and windows immediately, draw all curtains in the house, and refrain from looking out the window.
4. Immediately put on the white raincoat in the closet and wear a gas mask.
5. The sun is about to rise. Try to hide behind a shelter, lie down with your back to the window, cross your hands in front of your chest to protect your head, and curl your knees under your body.
Rule 5 gets detailed.
"Let's get down behind the sofa!"
They followed the position required by Rule 5, lying on their stomachs behind the sofa with their backs to the kitchen window.
Tick.
An unexpected sound was heard in the room.
They looked up in surprise and examined the intact wall clock.
Its second hand moves normally.
"Successfully, the end point and the starting point are reset to the same time."
When the hour hand pointed to "6" and the minute and second hands pointed to "12", it was suddenly dawn outside and the temperature rose sharply.
The strong white light penetrated the curtains, so bright that it hurt their eyes. They quickly closed their eyes and protected their heads.
The terrifying white light penetrated their eyelids, and their heads split as if they were in—
Boom——
Before the bright light faded, a deafening explosion brought with it a fiery shock wave, and hot and sharp fragments splashed into the hall and onto their backs.
All the windows shattered, and a scorching storm rushed into the house, blowing away not only the glass fragments on their backs, but also all the electrical appliances and furniture in the hall.
Death passed them by.
They didn't know how long it was before the noise subsided and the scorching temperature dropped, and they finally raised their heads tremblingly.
There were only five of them and their belongings left in the hall, and all the windows were left with empty frames.
Lu Miao was deeply shocked.
At this time, a piece of white paper fell from the sky.
She reached out and caught it.
The paper felt warm for a moment and she was stunned in surprise.
It feels like living human skin.
It also looked like she was holding someone's hand.
The paper was written with purple and gold words:
Evacuation Notice
Good morning, dear owners! The rescue team has arrived. Please cooperate with the rescue team to evacuate. During the evacuation, please pay attention to the following matters:
1. Please wear a white raincoat and a gas mask when going out.
Mother
2. There are rescue teams waiting outside the east, west, south and north gates of the community.
Don't abandon me
3. The green belt is absolutely safe.
4. Cement roads are not necessarily dangerous.
5. Waterways are prohibited.
6. It is absolutely dangerous near residential buildings.
7. Open ground areas are definitely dangerous.
8. This notice shall take effect at 6:30.
The wall clock had been blown out of the building by the hot wind, and Lu Miao looked at the back of his hand.
Only 5 minutes had passed.
The current time is 6:05.
"Hurry up and replenish your strength and eat the remaining nutrients." Lu Miao said.
The people, still frightened, came back to their senses.
He Pingan: "Captain, I suggest you bring empty bottles, cans, and knives."
"Okay." She understood.
Each person had very little nutrition left, so they ate everything and drank a little water.
"We will use this time to memorize the floor plan of Golden Court."
Everyone is given a copy of the community's brochure, which contains a color map marking the location of every green belt, artificial river, swimming pool and children's playground.
The children's playground is just downstairs and covers a large area.
"Although the South Gate is closest to Building 3, the community has expanded in the field of ghost stories," said Yu Xiaowan distressed.
Originally Building 3 was very close to the South Gate, but now there are several cement roads and an empty open-air parking lot near Building 3, and there are very few green belts.
Not only Building 3, but also other residential buildings close to the community gate have complicated routes, reducing the survival rate of humans.
"Concrete roads are not necessarily dangerous. We carefully explore the patterns that lead to danger."
Wang Keke remains optimistic. "As long as you know how to avoid danger, it doesn't mean death. Come on, we've endured for so long, and we just need the final push."
She changed the subject: "Captain, we must ask Section Chief Lu to treat us to a good meal after we get out!"
Lu Miao smiled. "Okay, let's have a dinner for Team Yinlv."
He Pingan whispered: "Do you know that this is called setting a flag..."
"Shut up, brat."
At 6:25, they were ready to go out on time.
There was a harsh sound outside the door.
Lu Miao put down the cactus with a gloomy look on his face. "Some people really deserve to die."
Wang Keke was furious: "Kill them if they dare to hinder us!"
When the door opened, they saw five guys wearing gas masks outside. Under the masks were faces covered with festering sores - the guys they had killed!
These guys are using tools to break into the security door.
"This time it's you who will die!"
Wang Keke sneered and opened the door for them.
Five sick guys rushed in with knives raised.
The sick woman from room 703 next door also came to join in the fun.
Lu Miao grabbed one man's arm and twisted it to dislocate it, and then attacked another man with a knife from the side; she grabbed the man's wrist with her left hand and twisted it, and with a "crack" sound, the man dropped the fruit knife in pain.
She pulled the two guys close, pressed their heads against each other, and while they were dazed and stumbling, she broke their necks one by one.
Weekend and Wang Keke each killed one person, and He Pingan and Yu Xiaowan worked together to kill the sick woman in 703.
There is one person left, and the weekend pulls the other person's collar and pushes him backwards.
The deer seedling that followed was stabbed down with a knife.
The other person's blood splattered on her gas mask, blurring the disgust in her eyes.
She hates the color red.
Especially the red color of blood.
"It's 32 minutes, let's get out of here!"
As they rushed out the door, the woman in Room 701 tremblingly opened the security door.
Both sides were stunned.
"Do you mind... running away together?"
