Chapter 5 Going out

The next morning, Cheng Zijie woke up

A ray of sunshine shone into the house, bringing some peace to Cheng Zijie. In an instant, it seemed that this was not after the end of the world, but an ordinary morning.

Cheng Zijie actually woke up from hunger

He was surprised by his physical condition: he was very hungry, but his whole body was full of energy and he was not exhausted or exhausted.

It is probably caused by the self-awareness formed by that virus.

Don’t know what changes your body has?

Cheng Zijie sat up and looked at Zhong Meixin who was sleeping. The dirty face on his mother reminded him: The world has really changed.

Zhong Meixin, who has been nervously on the verge of collapse, has a rare sleep in her son's arms.

The dirty dirt could not cover her beauty. Her somewhat thin and haggard cheeks had a quiet look, her long eyelashes covered her closed eyes, and her red lips actually had a light smile.

Cheng Zijie looked at Zhong Meixin quietly, not alarming her. He knew that his mother was too tired, so let her have a good sleep.

But the sound of my stomach getting louder and louder, which seemed very harsh in this extremely quiet environment.

This is uncontrollable

Soon, Zhong Meixin twisted and slowly opened her eyes

Mom Cheng Zijie said with a smile

Xiaojie Zhong Meixin sat up and found that she slept with her son all night. A faint blush appeared on her fair face, and even the thick dirt could not be covered.

The two of them got off the ground from both sides of the bed, and Cheng Zijie's stomach rumbling a few more times, because there was no other sound, and it seemed as loud as thunder.

Are you hungry?

Yes, I have nothing to be shy with my mother

There is rice at home, but I can't do it... Zhong Meixin stood beside the bed and tidied up the messy bed, feeling a little sad

Mom, we can't stay at home and wait for death, we have to go out to find food and drink

How to get out? Outside, outside... Zhong Meixin's attention finally returned to reality and said in fear

It doesn't matter... Just beat those zombies to death. Cheng Zijie clenched his fists and felt the power in his body.

Beat to death? Xiaojie, they are very strong and run faster than us...

Mom, I have a lot of strength. Cheng Zijie smiled and bent down and lifted the Simmons bed up.

Zhong Meixin looked at him hesitantly. She knew that her son had changed. She seemed to feel awe in an instant.

Mom, it’s okay, Dad tried his best to save us. If we waited for death here, wouldn’t it be a failure of Dad’s efforts?

I know, but... it's really dangerous

Not afraid, let's try it. Cheng Zijie put down the bed, walked to the kitchen, found a kitchen knife, and walked to the door of his house

Zhong Meixin quickly followed, thought about it, and took out the gun: Use this

My son is right. It’s better to try Zhong Meixin than to stay at home.

Cheng Zijie held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, stood at the door of the room, looking at Zhong Meixin

Zhong Meixin's eyes looked complicated, nervous, afraid, expectant, and trust

She knew that her son was her only hope

Cheng Zijie felt the pressure on his shoulders, took a deep breath, stretched out the hand holding the knife, and held the door handle.

Mom, I'm opening the door. Cheng Zijie took a last look at Zhong Meixin. Zhong Meixin nodded and turned around with some fear.

Cheng Zijie opened the door, jumped backwards, raised his pistol and pulled the insurance. Daddy is a policeman, and he still has a little knowledge of guns.

My father was lying on the anti-theft iron door at the door

Suddenly opening the door alarmed him, and he turned his skin-blown neck and let out a low roar at the door, followed by a pair of half-rotted arms stretched in between the pillars of the security door.

Cheng Zijie endured the stench and forced himself to calmly look at the monster in front of him.

It used to be his own father. Although the relationship between father and son is not as good as that of his mother, he has always respected his father very much.

But now my dad is dead

The monster in front of me is just a corpse controlled by a virus

Cheng Zijie's eyes were filled with tears again, Old Cheng... Zhong Meixin took a step forward in a daze and looked at the zombie

Mom, what are you doing! Seeing that my mother took another step forward, the zombie reached into the house and grabbed it, only half a foot away from Zhong Meixin's neck, Cheng Zijie was shocked and pulled Zhong Meixin back one step

Xiaojie... Zhong Meixin started crying again

Mom... Dad is dead, this is not my dad, you know. Cheng Zijie hugged his mother's twitching shoulders hard and comforted him in a low voice.

Zhong Meixin cried even harder. Cheng Zijie sighed, turned his face to look at the zombie, raised his pistol and pointed it at the zombie's head.

Dad, I will take good care of mom, please go with peace of mind

As he said that, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and pulled the trigger

With a bang, gunshots echoed throughout the apartment building

Because the surroundings were particularly quiet, the gunshot seemed particularly loud, which made Cheng Zijie's eardrums start to hurt faintly

One or two drops of brain and black blood also ejaculated in, touching Cheng Zijie's face

Zhong Meixin was shocked and turned around to see the zombie lying on the security door, slowly slid down, and fell to the ground.

Xiaojie, you...

Mom, that's not my dad anymore. Cheng Zijie hugged his mother and said softly

Old Cheng... Zhong Meixin grinned and started crying again

But she had accepted the reality in her heart, and she just needed some venting

Mom... Dad won't die in vain... I must take you to survive... Cheng Zijie hugged her tightly and patted her on the back

Suddenly there was another low roar, followed by two bangs, and the two zombies lay on the security door

The gunshot just now alarmed several dormant zombies in the corridor. They followed the gunshot and found Cheng Zijie's doorstep.

Several rotten arms stretched in through the gaps in the security door and grabbed them randomly.

They are very strong, and the anti-theft doors are creaking

Cheng Zijie was shocked, and Zhong Meixin stopped crying, staring at the zombies blankly, unable to say a word

Mom, don't be afraid. Cheng Zijie let go of his arms and asked his mother to do it on the ground. He raised his pistol, thought about it, and then lowered the gun again

Can't shoot casually anymore

Otherwise, more zombies would probably be alarmed. Moreover, there were not many bullets in the pistol, so this gun would be for my mother to defend myself.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zijie squatted down and stuffed the pistol into Zhong Meixin's hand: Mom, take it, don't shoot it casually, then stood up and walked to the door, standing at a distance that the zombies could not catch, and raised the kitchen knife.

The living people were right in front of them, and the zombies became more violently erect and grabbed desperately. The rotten faces were also pressed against the security door, trying to squeeze in through the gap between the pillars, constantly opening their mouths and biting them empty.

Can't delay any more

Cheng Zijie looked at the gray sand falling from the top of the door, knowing that the door would be pushed open sooner or later if this goes on.

Gripping his teeth, raising the kitchen knife, and using all his strength to slash the zombie's face between the crack of the door

With a click, the kitchen knife cut the zombie's head in half, and finally slashed heavily on the crossbar of the security door, making a slight sound

Cheng Zijie was shocked. He didn't expect it to be so easy, just like cutting fruits normally.

After calming down, he remembered that he had been several times stronger

Have to control it

He weighed the kitchen knife in his hand, and used 70% of his strength to chop off another rotten zombie's head outside the crack of the door.

Just like chopping watermelon, the zombie's head was in half, black blood and yellow and white brains were splattered everywhere, covered with security doors, and flowed downwards drippingly.

You can also think about it with a little less force. After checking the situation outside the door, there are three zombies.

Cheng Zijie killed the zombies in the same way, and finally the residential building became quiet. He looked at the kitchen knife in his hand. The blade had broken a few gaps, and a long one was rolled up.

Cheng Zijie gasped, threw away the kitchen knife, sat on the ground, covered in cold sweat

Although the process was easy, this was his first time killing a zombie

Anyway, I'm still very nervous and frightened

Zhong Meixin also fell aside and looked at him in amazement.

Mom, it's okay. Cheng Zijie tried to squeeze out a relaxed smile, raised the back of his hand and wiped away the cold sweat from his face. He felt his heart was beating very fast, and he was eager to calm down.

After scanning the living room, his eyes finally fell on a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, which was his father's cigarette

Cheng Zijie had never smoked a cigarette, but he still walked over, picked up the cigarette, took out one and held it in his mouth, found a lighter from the cigarette box, lit it trembled, took a heavy breath, and immediately choked and coughed loudly.

There was a burning gush in my lungs, and tears and snot rolled out together

However, nicotine has a good calming effect, which makes Cheng Zijie's heartbeat less fast, and adrenaline begins to return to normal levels.

Huh... Cheng Zijie sat on the ground, leaning against the coffee table, waiting for the discomfort in his lungs to improve a little, and then put the cigarette to his mouth. This time he just took a sip

Zhong Meixin sat on the ground aside, looking at Cheng Zijie, her mind was blank

For a moment, she seemed to not know her son anymore. The big boy who could only go out in her arms and acted coquettishly actually killed several zombies in front of her.

And he smoked a cigarette in a pretty good manner, looking like a big man

Mom In silence, Cheng Zijie slowly finished smoking a cigarette before he calmed down and stood up: Are you okay?

Zhong Meixin shook her head quickly

Cheng Zijie walked over and hugged her shoulder and pulled her up, rubbing her face a few times on her head: Mom, I'm amazing

Xiaojie This is his son

Zhong Meixin finally felt much more at ease. He changed, but he still didn't. At this time, he didn't forget to act coquettishly

I said I could protect you. Cheng Zijie was intimate with his mother for a while and let go: It seemed that it was clean outside, so I went to see it. As he said that, he walked towards the door.

You go empty-handed? Zhong Meixin was shocked and quickly handed the pistol over.

It would be better not to shoot. Cheng Zijie scratched his head, looked at the unbearable kitchen knife, thought about it, and found a nail hammer in the tool box at home. After waving it for a few times, he felt that it was much easier than a kitchen knife.

I'll use this. Cheng Zijie walked to the door with a hammer: Mom, stay at home first, I'll see if there's no danger. Then come out before you

Well, Zhong Meixin held the pistol and nodded quickly. She felt extremely safe for a moment. Her son is really a big man and can protect herself.

Cheng Zijie then reached out and looked at the zombies blocking the security door, and pushed open the security door.
