Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Jian Yu felt that it was time for him to see a doctor. He hadn't slept well for a month in a row. His dreams were grotesque and bizarre. After waking up, he almost forgot everything. He only remembered that July 7th was the end of the world. Zombies, I don't remember anything from now on.Today is July 7th. He didn't want to go out at first, and even rejected his colleague's invitation to play tennis, but he still couldn't restrain his desire to go out of the house.He waited in line to pay, looked down at the large and small bags of daily necessities in the shopping cart, and sighed for a few times. This was the fourth shopping this month, and only seven days had passed this month. It was affected by my dream, but it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the outside was still peaceful, and the people coming and going on the street were still people, not zombies or anything else.He bought a lot of things, and he was walking slowly on the side of the road holding a fifty-cent shopping bag from the supermarket. He is resting today, so there is no rush.
"Wow, look at Blood Day."
"What blood day? It's just that the sun is a little red. What's the fuss?"
The words of a couple on the opposite side of the street caught Jian Yu's attention. He stopped paying attention to when the red light on the opposite road would end, and turned his head to look at the distant sun. At the intersection, the sun illuminates the end of the road without any obstruction.As the girl said, it is really a bloody day. I don’t know if it is Jian Yu’s illusion. The sun seems to be a round bigger, and it is slowly setting. Due to the optical illusion, the horizon in the distance is reflected by the setting sun like the sea level. Red, that blood-red sun, with a special magical power, made Jian Yu forget everything, even himself, just watching like this, until the sun set and the night fell.Only then did Jian Yu come back to his senses, hugging the shopping bags tightly and rushing home like chasing a group of zombies behind him.
In the evening he went to bed early, ready to deal with the accumulated work of last week tomorrow.The night was very quiet, even the screams of the stray cats in the community were very clear, Jian Yu turned over helplessly, he has not fallen asleep until now, and he didn't even have that dream when he came here, his sober mind made him Fear, as if reminding him of something.Just when he was about to get up and drink some water, a piercing car siren blared through the sky, followed by screams, cries, and cries for help, erupting instantly as if ignited by a signal.Then there was a knock on the door of Jian Yu's house. The violent and rapid knock on the door revealed hysterical panic and despair, and there might be a cry for help, but it was too noisy outside, and Jian Yu couldn't confirm it.He just sat up from the bed, covered his ears after being tightly wrapped in space, and the sound of knocking on the door quickly disappeared. After a while, he got up again, and he began to think about the family of four who moved next door to his house last month. There are still five people...
It's always dawn, Jian Yu kept covering his ears and finally got out of bed all night. He walked to the window and looked down. The neighborhood was the same as usual, except for a few puddles of blood on the ground, nothing had changed.Then, he saw a man approaching the flower bed stealthily, walking forward, but was suddenly thrown down by a black shadow, his head was dragged off without even screaming, blood gushed out like a pillar, The blood stained most of the leaves, and Jian Yu suddenly regained the emotion of fear. He frantically closed all the windows in the room and drew the curtains. He closes the curtains and nibbles the nail of his right thumb nervously. This is his little habit. He will do this whenever he is nervous or emotional. It is also the reason why he ignores his right thumb every time he cuts his nails. .
【what to do?He saw me. 】
Jian Yu was very disturbed, and he didn't know why he was so scared, so he ran to the living room and turned on the TV.There is no signal, all channels have no signal, no matter how you switch channels, you can only see the sign of no signal, Jian Yu doesn't know what he is insisting on, nor how to give up, so he can only keep switching channels back and forth.Finally, a station had a picture. Jian Yu didn't watch TV very often, so he only knew that it was a news host from a certain station.The studio was empty, and the camera only stayed where it was, allowing people to see the entire studio and the little man sitting in the middle, and then the man spoke.
"I don't know if this can be broadcasted, but I just want to try it. Speaking of which, I haven't broadcast it live yet. I don't know whether to say hello or do something else first. Haha, I'm afraid I'm stupid. Who cares at this time Look at me. By the way, Mom, are you watching? I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have stayed home for convenience, or I wouldn’t be stuck here. Mom, I have a girlfriend, she’s my director, she’s a good girl Son……"
The man suddenly slipped and fell to the ground as if he lost his strength, and then the man came out from behind the table bit by bit. He was missing a leg, and the blood flowed all over the ground. A bold stroke.
"Mom, she's a good girl, but she took one of my legs. I can't go back either...Mom, I'm sorry, can't I..."
At the end of the picture is a ferocious distorted face and pupils full of whites, the signal is gone again,
Jian Yu gnawed on the bread mechanically. He didn't know how many days had passed. He only knew that he had eaten ten times and was only willing to eat when he was very hungry. The water and gas didn't stop, but he didn't want to start cooking. , only willing to eat some bread and biscuits, just when he was about to eat the second piece of bread, the door rang, it wasn't the wind, it was a real knock on the door, not light or heavy, not slow or urgent, he seemed As if suddenly alive, he jumped off the sofa, hesitated at the entrance, and picked up the tennis racket he had left in the entrance.The door was ajar, but no one was there.With a slight push by Jian Yu, the door opened halfway open. After a while, a figure emerged from behind the door. Jian Yu waved a tennis racket forward without hesitation. The man jumped back, and a carefree voice came over. .
"Oh my god! Brother, you are trying to kill someone!"
Jian Yu didn't speak, the tennis racket stopped in mid-air, just pointed straight at the young man in front of him, the young man scratched his head in embarrassment, "Brother, don't be angry, I didn't want to play tricks on you. Someone raised zombies at home before, who would knock I'm forced to let zombies go at the door, too."
The young man spoke sincerely, but Jian Yu was unmoved, he said coldly, "Take off your clothes."
"Take off, take off your clothes... Oh, brother, you are so cautious! Don't worry, I was not bitten."
"Undress."
Maybe it was because Jian Yu's tone was too absolute or his expression was too scary, the young man obediently followed suit, he took off his shirt neatly and turned around specifically for Jian Yu to check, but Jian Yu still said coldly, "Take off the bottom."
"Isn't it, so ruthless?"
"...You can keep your underwear."
After the young man did so, he finally got Jian Yu's permission to enter the door, and Jian Yu slowly put down the tennis racket while the young man was getting dressed, his hands were shaking a little.
"Take it."
"Oh my God, Bread! Brother, you are so kind. My family has nothing to eat. I have already run out of ammunition and food."
After finishing speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and began to gulp down the second piece of bread that Jian Yu wanted to eat just now. The young man seemed to be familiar with himself. He said while eating, "Brother, I saw you five days ago, when you Seeing me when I drew the curtains was like seeing a ghost, and then I couldn’t come out to find the survivors, so I thought of you right away.”
"You shouldn't have gone downstairs."
"Ah, I know this. I have been planning for three days before I came here. I didn't meet a single zombie, but I was greedy when climbing the stairs. I picked up a sausage in a bag that I don't know who dropped it, and I was almost discovered by the zombies."
"Wait, hold your hand out... the palm not the back of your hand."
The young man was frightened by such a serious Jian Yu, he stretched out his right palm timidly, there was a scratch on it, the wound was split open, and there were bloodshot eyes, the young man eagerly argued, "I accidentally scratched it, You can see that the wound is very flat, definitely not bitten by a zombie."
"I know."
Jian Yu looked at the scar that had already healed, and his eyes flickered. Then he took out the medical kit from the cabinet under the coffee table and began to bandage the young man. While bandaging, he said, ""Zombies' sense of smell is not sensitive, they can only smell it." The smell of blood, the next time you get hurt, you have to deal with it carefully. "
The young man was a little uncomfortable. Looking at Jian Yu's skillful movements, he began to find nothing to say, "Haha, brother, you've done a good job of bagging, have you learned it?"
"I have been a volunteer for a stray pet shelter for a month, and the station manager also said the same thing. He said that I bandage the dog well, and it won't loosen no matter how you run, so don't worry, it won't loosen."
It took the young man a while to realize that Jian Yu was teasing him, "Brother, you can actually make jokes."
"I'm a human, not a machine, so I can't joke around. There are some drinks in the cupboard in the kitchen, just take them when you're thirsty."
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Jian Yu paused for a moment, then adjusted the position of the bow on his palm, "I said I dreamed about you, do you believe it?"
"What? Doing, dreaming? I believe it. After all, the end of the world is coming. There is nothing you can't believe."
Jian Yu smiled, and continued, "The end of the world I dreamed about was just one month before July 7th."
"Cool! Then why don't you tell everyone, in that case... well, yes, no one will believe it."
"I dreamed a lot, but I don't remember much of them, just like when I saw the scar on your hand, I remembered that we are partners."
"Partner? That's great, bro, are you older than me? I'll call you brother from now on. You're a prophecy!"
"No, it's not a prophecy..." It's not so much a prophecy as a memory, a weird but true memory.
"By the way, brother, you seem like a friend to me. You have a strong sense of territory."
"Territorial awareness."
"Yeah, just like when you didn't think of me just now, you were so wary of me. As soon as you recognized me, you bandaged me up and let me drink whatever you want. It's the same as enclosing land: I am not circled by you When you are here, you ignore me for a while, and once I am trapped in your territory, treat me with all your heart and soul."
"Really? Probably..."
A few days later, Jian Yu planned to leave for City Z. Recently, things in his dream became more and more clear, so he knew that City Z was the closest safe point to them. It was controlled by the army and set up a quarantine area.They found a snakeskin bag to pack the remaining food and necessities, hid in his car at night, and packed two tents and sleeping bags with his mountaineering bags.Then they drove on the road carelessly. They didn't meet anyone along the way, and they were afraid they were hiding. Occasionally, someone would look at them from upstairs, and quickly shrank back. After all, they wanted to leave. There are a lot of people, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.Jian Yu drove the car to a small road that few people walked based on the memory in his dream. The young man, Li Shanhai, was a little dumbfounded. He has lived in City C for so many years and has never been here before. Where did these small roads come from? of?
"Brother, you can take a break and replace me."
"Instead of you, do you know the way?"
Li Shanhai wilted immediately, of course he didn't know the way.Jian Yu didn't speak any more, he just concentrated on driving the car, but he was a little worried.It is impossible for them to walk on the small road all the time. When they drive to the main road, it will not be as easy as it is now. They will definitely meet people, and things will be complicated when there are more people.
