Chapter 3: A strange appearance in the middle of the night
Chapter 3: A strange appearance in the middle of the night
After returning to his residence, Lin Xian took out a bottle of disinfectant mixed with bleach from behind the door and carefully sprayed it at the door and in the corridor. After doing all this, he entered the room, closed the security door, and locked the iron chain.
The first thing Lin Xian did was to take out his cell phone, open the map, and search for Chen Sixuan's location.
The first rule of doomsday: be careful of the night.
The second rule of doomsday: Don’t be reckless.
Lin Xian never fights an unprepared battle. Jiang City has now completely fallen. The remaining people are either survivors hiding in shelters, thugs looting the streets, or zombies like huge crowds.
Entering the darkness is even more terrifying, because people still don’t know how many strange things there are in the darkness.
Judging from the accounts of the survivors on various radio frequency bands, they are indescribable and inexplicable, and very few people can survive after encountering such strange things.
"7.2 kilometers, not close..."
If it was before the end of the world, this distance would only take a dozen minutes by taxi, but now the traffic is paralyzed and the roads and bridges are damaged. Lin Xian estimated that even if he rode a motorcycle, it would take him half an hour.
And the situation over there is not clear. It can be said that in doomsday, no one except one's own mother is worthy of going out to save people like this.
Lin Xian's eyes flickered and he sighed in his heart.
Teacher Chen, I hope you think it's worth it for me to take this risk for you.
At 18:45, night gradually approached.
Lin Xian closed the window shutter and began to prepare dinner.
We didn't go searching for supplies today. Those who fled Jiang City and the survivors had already searched supermarkets and convenience stores countless times. Even a packet of ketchup was hard to find.
Fortunately, when he was searching for things, in addition to food and drink, all kinds of mechanical items that other survivors never cared about were also one of his prey.
02:42 minutes
A subtle sound woke up Lin Xian who was in a light sleep. He stood up and looked at the gate in the darkness.
The sound seemed to come from outside the corridor.
So he picked up the dagger for self-defense and walked behind the gate calmly.
This door had been reinforced several times with steel plates, and was much stronger than ordinary anti-theft doors. However, Lin Xian was not completely sure about those things. Being in a high-rise building, his only escape route was the stairs in the corridor.
Lin Xian moved closer to the peephole and looked outside. He saw that the corridor was completely dark. Only the faint green light from the emergency lights in the hallway allowed one to see the outlines of the walls and floor.
After observing for a while, I saw nothing, so I turned around and prepared to go back to sleep.
But just as he took two steps, there was a strange knock on the iron door behind him!
Boom~boom!
The two knocks with a long interval immediately made Lin Xian's scalp numb!
Is there really someone there? Or have those things discovered their hiding place?
He turned back to the door with a serious expression, hesitated for a moment, tightened the dagger in his hand, then held his breath and looked out through the peephole again.
hiss!
The scene in the cat's eye made Lin Xian gasp!
In the corridor under the dim green light, an old man in black shroud appeared at some point and stood motionless in front of his door. His face was gaunt and pale, and his eyes were on the verge of decay... They were a gray-black color like death, giving people a sense of horror.
The most terrifying thing was that the corpse-like old man's eyes seemed to be looking at him through the cat's eyes!
Lin Xian was frightened and staggered, and reflexively took two steps back with a look of shock on his face.
Isn’t this Uncle Li downstairs?
But he's already dead...
Lin Xian took a half step back with a serious look on his face. There was no need to think about it. The thing outside that looked like 'Uncle Li' was definitely not a human being.
Is it a zombie? But why would a zombie knock on the door?
Lin Xian looked grim. If it was something weird in the dark, he would be in trouble tonight.
"Uncle Li, why don't you just lie in your coffin and enjoy your peace? Why do you come back to suffer so much..." Lin Xian cursed inwardly.
Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Xian was no longer sleepy. He stood behind the door, leaning against the wall, holding the dagger tightly.
But the knock on the door never came again.
But the weird part was that there was a subtle sound of nails scratching the wall outside the wall that Lin Xian was leaning against. The sound was not loud, but it made his scalp tingle, as if there was something scratching him constantly, just across the wall from him...
“Fuck!” He took a step back and looked at the wall in front of him. “Is this thing trying to get in?”
Lin Xian was a little confused.
The thing outside seemed to sense his presence and was only separated from him by a wall.
Lin Xian’s best choice at this moment was to hold his breath and not make any noise. As long as the door of the house had not been broken, he would be safe for the time being.
But at the same time, he also prepared an escape route in advance. He had moved most of the supplies to the Infinity. Only a few days of food and water, as well as the generator and batteries, were left in the house.
Time passed minute by minute, and the strange scratching sound of the wall kept ringing in Lin Xian's ears like a demon.
After a while, the sound finally disappeared. Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked at the cat's eye again.
However, this time, the scene before him made his entire body shudder.
In the corridor outside the door, a girl appeared out of nowhere, lying on the ground covered in blood. She kept trying to struggle, stretched her hand towards the door, and weakly called out:
"Save me... save me..."
Lin Xian's eyes narrowed slightly. The girl looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Her attire was totally out of place in the world of doomsday. She wore short shorts, a low-waist tube top, a bright baseball jacket, and wireless headphones around her neck. She looked young and fashionable. If it weren't for the blood stains on her face, Lin Xian would have thought that this was not the doomsday, but that the girl next door was visiting him late at night.
Faced with the girl's request for help, Lin Xian behind the door said nothing.
Just now he clearly saw a dead body standing outside strangely, and now it suddenly turned into a little loli, which anyone would find extremely abnormal.
These things in the dark were strange and unpredictable. Besides, he had no relationship with the girl. Wouldn't it be harmful to himself if he opened the door at this time?
The time gradually came to 5 o'clock in the morning, and there were still at least 9 hours before dawn.
Through the cat's eye, Lin Xian discovered that the girl was now pale and had fallen to the ground unconscious.
"Damn it, could it be a monster setting a trap for me to open the door?" Lin Xian had a headache. This situation was much weirder than any zombies.
Lin Xian couldn't help but be curious and looked again.
This time, he suddenly discovered that the figure of 'Uncle Li' was suddenly standing next to the little Lolita, with his head lowered, as if he was sniffing.
Then, 'Uncle Li' moved his feet stiffly, stood in front of the little Loli, and then slowly bent down.
Instantly, Lin Xian's pupils shrank, because he saw that behind Uncle Li's body, there was a strange insect with long and thin legs like a black centipede, which was so big that it almost occupied his entire back!
What the hell is this!
Lin Xian took a breath of cold air.
The strange insect's legs slowly scratched, causing Uncle Li to lift up his hands, and then pounced towards the little Loli.
