Chapter 11: Zombies?
This building is different from the ones they stayed in before. There are eight households on the first floor, but they are completely separated from the middle. Qin Yi and the others can only enter four of them, and there is one downstairs left and one right There are two gates. If you want to enter the other half of the house, you need to go upstairs from the other door downstairs.
Or, flip over from outside the balcony.
Fortunately, now that they have found a lot of food, they don't have to take that risk for the time being.
Qin Yi quickly finished his lunch, drank half a bottle of water in one breath, and sat on the sofa contentedly.
After all, I haven't been here for a long time, only four or five days, but it seems that I haven't been so relaxed for a long time.
For the first time, Qin Yi began to reflect on his recent experience.
The DN9 virus broke out, and the insect-like monster appeared overnight, full of corpses, minced meat, internal organs...
And she, from a dying person who suffered from severe pain from time to time, has now become a healthy person who can climb ten floors without any effort.
But this health... at the cost of participating in this survival game.
However, without this game, perhaps she would have died long ago.
In any case, for her who was about to die at the time, it was more than gratifying to be able to regain a healthy body.
Having experienced death once, Qin Yi now cherishes her own life more than ordinary people, so when facing the eel monster, she can bite its eyes without hesitation.
Qin Yi reached out and touched her lips. She had no doubt that if a human wanted her life, she could also kill her.
Hu Lai was still eating, he was really hungry.
After eating two small buns and two boxes of self-heating rice in succession, he drank two more boxes of yogurt before exhaling contentedly, leaned on the back of the sofa, touched his stomach and said, "There are so many things here, I guessed that the resident downstairs came up with all their belongings before they were rescued. This is good, it's cheaper for us!"
Qin Yi retracted his thoughts and said, "I don't know how the others are doing now."
Hu Lai shook his head: "It's useless for you to worry. It's a little difficult to look at the glasses. The guy named Wen Zhong should be fine. Okay, let's go and block the doors and windows and get a good night's sleep."
As he spoke, he got up first and dragged the coffee table towards the door.
Qin Yi went to the balcony.
Before, the house they were in had no balcony, only windows, so the room was particularly dark. Now the light here is much better.
She closed the glass door on the balcony, and moved some things to block it. The light in the room was a lot darker, but she could still see it clearly.
The other windows were not blocked, and they only found some wine bottles and the like and placed them there. If a monster came in through the window, it would make a sound to alert them.
After confirming safety, Qin Yi and Hu Lai each entered a room and began to sleep.
Lying on the soft and comfortable clean bed, Qin Yi felt that his whole body became soft.
I haven't had a good rest these days here. At first, everyone took turns to keep vigil, and then they couldn't sleep well because of hunger and thirst.
Not long after lying on the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
Even in the dream, she was still running for her life and fighting various monsters.
When I woke up, I felt a little confused, and I couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams for a while.
There was a sound outside the door, Qin Yi pushed open the door and went out, and saw that Hu Lai was doing something with his back to this side.
It was dark outside the window now, and the light was coming from a dimly lit flashlight next to him.
Hearing the door open, he turned his head to look at her, then continued to turn back to go about his business, saying, "Wake up, it's four o'clock in the morning now."
Qin Yi walked over and took a sip of the mineral water he hadn't finished drinking before, and when he got closer, he saw that Hu Lai was holding a long wooden stick in his hand.
She asked, "What are you doing?"
Hu Lai compared a deboning knife to the wooden stick, and said, "There are several knives in the kitchen, use two to tie them longer, and in case of encountering a monster, give it a knife from a distance!"
Qin Yi laughed and sat down on the sofa. He couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he asked, "What did you do before you came here?"
Hu Lai squeezed his fists and swelled the muscles on his arms: "Me, fitness coach! What are you doing?"
"I don't have a job." Qin Yi bowed her head. She used to be a writer of supernatural novels, but she didn't write any more because of her health problems.
At that time, her savings was probably enough for the rest of her time, and the money she earned was useless to the dead, so she simply didn't write it.
Unexpectedly, such an incredible thing would happen later.
Hu Lai didn't know the inside story, nodded and said, "Then your parents must be rich?"
Qin Yi smiled bitterly and said calmly, "I am an orphan."
Hu Lai was stunned, scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry... My parents also passed away two years ago. Alas, now that I think about it, at least they didn't suffer from being infected as zombies."
Qin Yi was stunned and asked, "Zombie?"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Hu Lai stopped his movements and looked at her.
Qin Yi asked, "What do you mean by zombies?"
Hu Lai laughed: "Isn't it like in the TV series The Walking Dead! I was out of town, and a group of zombies suddenly appeared in the middle of the night. I finally killed a few and ran out. I found a car outside while looking for food. While hiding from the zombies, I finally got home, and the result... sigh, I ended up being selected into this game."
Qin Yi could hear what he seemed to be hiding, but she didn't care. Now, all her attention was on the zombies in his mouth.
She has also watched the American TV series The Walking Dead. The zombies in it still maintain their human form. As long as their brains are not pierced, they will always have the ability to move. Even if there is only one head left, they will keep opening their mouths to bite people.
But——how could it be such a zombie? !
What she and Xiao Li met was obviously the kind of monster with animal mutation! Some have evolved the forelimbs of praying mantis, and some have six arms, which is obviously something completely different from zombies!
Shocked, Qin Yi suddenly stood up: "How could it be a zombie? What we encountered was obviously the kind of monster that evolved animal characteristics!"
Hu Lai was taken aback by her action, and after a while, she realized what she was saying, and she couldn't help frowning: "What animal characteristics? How can animals be like that?"
"It's just... the two hands have become the catching feet of the mantis, and the mouth has become very large, and the tongue is very long, like a frog..."
Qin Yi recounted all the mutant monsters she had seen in one go, and Hu Lai, following her words, his jaw dropped more and more, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, he stammered and asked, "Well, what's going on?"
