Chapter 13: Extreme Heat, Rat Infestation
Zhong Manting turned her gaze towards Qin Shen's house and opened the courtyard gate wide. Suddenly, two corpses were thrown out, scaring her so much that she immediately covered her daughter's eyes.
After a while, two more bodies with blood coming out of their mouths and noses were thrown out.
Zhong Manting plucked up her courage and took a look inside the courtyard gate. She was caught off guard and met a pair of dark eyes like those of a wild beast.
Qin Shen stood in the shadows, his dagger dripping with blood. Countless corpses lay around him, with different mottled bloodstains, like a strange sacrificial array pattern.
They were all the people who had rushed into Qin Shen’s house before.
It was clearly 60 degrees Celsius, but Zhong Manting felt a chill on her back. She was more terrified than if her husband's eyes had been shot out: "Go, go!!!"
Jiang Si picked up a telescope at the window and witnessed the horrifying scene of Qin Shen's house full of corpses.
One, two, three... Qin Shen killed eighteen people by himself in a short while.
All the wounds on the bodies were fatal.
Qin Shen suddenly raised his head and looked at her. With his tall body, sharp eyes and excellent alertness, he might be a special forces soldier or a well-trained killer?
Qin Shen's father has killed people, so he can't be a special forces soldier, so it must be the latter.
Jiang Si was even more worried about having such a powerful neighbor.
If a killer is really in a desperate situation, it is better to get two guns than to expect him to have moral qualities.
Wait, does Qin Shen have a gun? He hasn't taken it out yet!
Jiang Si stared at Qin Shen's every move. He piled all the corpses at the door and wanted to break into the yard. But after just half a glance, he was almost scared to death.
Run as fast as you can. By the way, no one dares to come to Jiang Si's house again.
So far, it seems that having him as a neighbor is not bad.
Jiang Si went downstairs to replace Jiang Linhai, who was guarding the gate, and asked casually, "Dad, you just went out to get the wild boar leg, how come you're back so soon?"
Jiang Linhai recalled for a second: "Qin Shen suddenly told me to hurry up, as if he sensed danger. I went out and saw that the hillside was full of people, so I quickly ran back!"
"I don't know how he is doing now."
Jiang Si said calmly, "He killed everyone who broke in."
Jiang Linhai's pupils contracted, shocked that Qin Shen dared to kill so many people.
Suddenly remembering that Jiang Si had killed someone before, and the body was still on the doorstep, Jiang Linhai was worried that she might have psychological problems. He restrained his expression and said carefully: "If others don't offend me, I won't offend others. They deserve to be killed. Qin Shen is not wrong, and we are all wrong!"
Jiang Si nodded in agreement and handed Jiang Linhai a bottle of depression medication. "Dad, take one pill whenever you feel uncomfortable."
I wanted to comfort my daughter, but she saw through me instead.
Jiang Linhai took the medicine bottle and smiled bitterly, "Sisi, is Dad really useless?"
He clearly wanted to protect Jiang Si, but he was reluctant to kill.
Jiang Si shook his head and said lightly, "Dad just needs a period of adaptation. In the end times of natural disasters, it's not easy to take up arms to protect yourself and your family."
"Yeah, it's not easy." Jiang Linhai clenched the medicine in his hand. Why should he, a grown man, be so pretentious?
Without Qin Shen's advance warning, Jiang Linhai might have been in danger. Jiang Si, who didn't plan to go out again, decided to airdrop some medicine to his home to repay the favor.
Jiang Si took out hydrogen peroxide, iodine tincture, erythromycin ointment, gauze, Yunnan Baiyao spray, cotton balls for band-aids, and disinfectant from the space, wrapped them one by one with bubble wrap, and then rolled them into a ball. In order to increase the weight of the projectile, he stuffed a brick inside and wrote a note.
When preparing to throw, Jiang Si took the bubble ball apart again, leaving only a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, Yunnan Baiyao spray and gauze.
If they give too much, it will make people think that they still have a lot of supplies.
After tying him up again, Jiang Si threw him into Qin Shen's yard with unmatched accuracy.
Qin Shen came out after hearing the noise, picked up the bubble ball, took out the obvious note inside, and after confirming the content, he raised his head and nodded slightly at her.
Jiang Si nodded and closed the window to block out all the noise from the outside world.
As soon as I went downstairs, my grandma exclaimed in the kitchen: "Oh my God——"
Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat and he rushed into the kitchen at lightning speed, only to see his grandmother grabbing a disheveled puppy from the stove.
The little puppy was covered in stove ash and was squeaking. Then, a black shadow struggled out from the hole in the stove.
Grandma reached out and grabbed it. It was a skinny black local dog, probably the puppy's mother.
It licked the puppy and made feeding gestures, looking at grandma with its watery black eyes, as if begging grandma to take it in.
Grandma touched its head, and it didn't show any aggressiveness. Instead, it rubbed against Grandma's palm very smartly.
Seeing its bloodied and broken claws, Grandma said to Jiang Si, "All things are spirits. It even went so far as to dig through our stove to get in. Let's leave it here to watch over the house. This way, everyone else will have some peace of mind."
Dogs are different from humans. They are loyal, simple-minded, and solitary. If you save their life, they will repay you with their own.
Jiang Si took out two cans of meat from the space, opened them and placed them in front of it. "Eat, this will be your home from now on."
The mother dog seemed to understand, barked, and then started to eat voraciously.
In a short while, the two cans were finished. Grandma wanted to feed it a bowl of pig liver rice, but Jiang Si shook her head: "It's obvious that it's very hungry. If it eats too much, it will get sick. You can give it some goat milk."
Grandma poured a bowl of goat milk and placed it in front of the dog, smiling. "Sisi, let's give them a name?"
Jiang Si pushed them to his grandfather, who stared at them for a long time, racked his brains, and decided, "Let's call them Big Black and Little Black! They're simple and easy to remember!"
Jiang Linhai's mouth twitched. It was indeed simple and easy to remember. Fortunately, Dahei and Xiaohei were just dogs, so they wouldn't care whether it sounded difficult or not.
The tunnel dug by Dahei, as well as the kitchen floor, need to be re-poured with concrete to prevent anyone like Dahei from breaking in from underground.
The whole family worked for three whole days. According to her observation, at least one-third of the original households in Longquan Village had been occupied by other people.
Some people were killed, some were expelled, and some could not bear the heat and went into the forest with their last hope.
The corpses scattered throughout the village emitted a strong stench under the scorching heat.
They fumigated so much mugwort throughout their house and used air purifier that you could faintly smell it.
Grandpa leaned against the window to take a look at the situation outside and said worriedly, "Sisi, will there be a plague?"
The strong stench of a decaying corpse is likely to lead to the spread of various infectious diseases.
There was a time discrepancy between the natural disaster trajectory in the previous life and this life. Jiang Si frowned and said, "If the temperature continues to reach above 70 degrees, the corpse will soon be roasted into rotten ashes, and the spread of infectious diseases should not occur."
Grandpa was just about to ask if it would rain after the high temperature, when suddenly, something rolling like a tide emerged from the ground in a black mass, surrounding the corpses in an instant and devouring them at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Si picked up the telescope and his expression changed drastically: "They are all rats!"
