third chapter
"What!?" Tang Shu was really shocked. She thought that the situation might not be very good, but she never expected it to be so bad.
The man shook off the blood on the knife, glanced at Tang Shu, and asked, "How long have you been hiding in your house?"
Tang Shu took out the mobile phone in her coat pocket and looked at the time. It was 4:30 in the morning. Tang Shu calculated the time and found that she went home at around 5 pm yesterday, which was almost exactly the same night. So she told this person.
"A lot of things happened while you were hiding at home and sleeping. Let's go, let's talk as we walk, no one can stay in this building anymore, we have to get out of here." The man waved to Tang Shu.
"Wait a minute, I'll get some things." Tang Shu quickly returned home, thought for a while, and integrated the contents of the two suitcases together. She didn't take anything she couldn't take with her. She also put two snakes in the suitcase.
, it was packed to the brim, but fortunately this suitcase was really big.
Tang Shu soon appeared on the corridor with her cat and dog and luggage on her back.
"You raise so many things?" The man looked surprised, "Why don't these dogs and cats fight?"
Tang Shu fastened one end of the dog leash to her belt and replied without raising her head: "Oh, the cat is the wild cat I feed in the yard. They see dogs more often, so maybe they are not afraid anymore. In fact, I am also surprised why they are not afraid.
dog."
You may not believe it, but there is a hairy spider under my hat. Tang Shu cursed in her heart.
"Let's go." The man asked no more questions, "I'm going to use a kitchen knife to clear the way, so I won't help you get anything."
"You didn't bring your bag?" Tang Shu blinked curiously.
"I have put on all the clothes I can wear. I usually order takeout when I live alone. There is nothing to eat or drink at home." The man freed his hand, turned on the flashlight, and walked in front.
It was very quiet in the corridor going downstairs. There was no other sound except for the footsteps and conversation of the two people. The light was darker than outside and the scene around the corner could not be seen. Tang Shu was frightened every time he passed the corner.
"My name is Tang Shu, what do you call this eldest brother? He also lives here?"
For some reason, Tang Shu didn't feel that cold. Although the cold was indeed there, it wasn't like this person was wrapped in countless layers of down jackets, which made Tang Shu's figure look even thinner.
"My surname is Jiang, and my last name is handsome. I live on the 20th floor." Jiang Shuai clarified his thoughts, "The weather was very strange yesterday. It was getting colder and colder, so I turned on the air conditioner. Just yesterday at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a sudden power outage.
, How can that person stand it? It’s freezing to death.”
"Me too, I woke up from the cold at around 5pm. Yesterday morning at around noon, I first escaped the chase of a shameless man downstairs, and then went upstairs to fight the monster you killed outside the door.
Then the temperature got lower and lower." Tang Shu told Fei Fei what she knew. At this time, Fei Fei suddenly meowed softly. Tang Shu glanced at Fei Fei and found nothing wrong.
"Then you encountered that kind of thing earlier than me." Jiang Shuai said, "After the power outage yesterday, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went out to take a look. I thought it might be some kind of environmental disaster. After all, the environment
This thing, what about smog, global warming, who can say for sure whether there is another one suddenly? Then, I saw my neighbor coming out, and I noticed at a glance that something was wrong with that person, his eyes were wrong,
He didn't dare to come forward, and then he peeled off a layer of skin in front of me..."
Tang Shu didn't dare to say a word. Although Jiang Shuai described it relatively calmly, Tang Shu could almost imagine how terrifying it was. It would definitely be uncomfortable for her acquaintance to turn into a monster in front of her.
"Later, something changed by my neighbor blocked the corridor, so I had to go home and stay there until one or two in the morning. I found that the feces in the sewer had turned into semen."
"..." Tang Shu opened her mouth, but no words came out for a long time. What is this thing? Shit turned into sperm? Didn't it say that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was not allowed to turn into sperm? By the way, this thing can also turn into sperm?
Isn't it disgusting? Then isn't Jiang Shuai covered in shit? He doesn't smell it? Is it covered by the previous rancid smell? Question marks flashed through Tang Shu's mind like a barrage.
"It could also be the dirty stuff in the sewer." Jiang Shuai added, "Anyway, when I was resting, that thing suddenly came out of the toilet, and there was a foul smell. I rushed to the kitchen and chopped it with a knife.
It's of no use, and it doesn't seem to be offensive. I cut it a few times and nothing happened. But the shit grew bigger and bigger, and in the end there was no room for anyone in my house. I couldn't help it.
I picked out two New Year meat chopping knives and came out."
By this time, the two of them had already gone down to the 7th floor.
Jiang Shuai continued: "After I hacked away my neighbor's transformed thing, I went downstairs and met an eldest sister. She told me that after the temperature cooled down, the sisters played mahjong, and one by one they mutated. She
I went down several floors and found a lot of monsters. I guess there are no living people in the whole building. She is probably right. I didn't meet you until I got to your floor. Of course, there are also
That monster."
"Where's that eldest sister?" Tang Shu asked.
"I don't know. After seeing the monster on your floor on the 14th floor, she was so scared that she ran away. She probably ran down." Jiang Shuai replied.
Anna suddenly twisted uneasily and pulled Tang Shu back on the dog leash.
"You dog, won't something happen at a critical moment? This won't work. What if it happens when we are hiding..."
Jiang Shuai couldn't say any more. He thought they had found the eldest sister who had escaped.
The elderly woman was lying with her eyes open at the corner of the stairs, with a pool of blood on the ground. Perhaps because of the cold weather, the body was not decomposed. There was obviously a large pool of blood on the ground, but it was covered by the strong rotten smell before.
There was no smell of blood. Only Anna, the border collie, could smell the subtle smell. No wonder Anna moved so loudly just now.
The woman also wore several down jackets, but the outermost down jacket could not be buttoned, which made Tang Shu, who only wore a woolen coat and woolen cloak, doubt herself.
Sometimes whatever is mentioned comes, and whatever is feared happens. The body of the elderly woman I was talking about just now was found at the corner of the fourth floor. The general raised his knife and beat him twelve points.
alert.
Anna was so frightened that her body was almost pressed to the ground, trying to pull Tang Shu away through the dog leash. Tang Shu rubbed Anna's head and comforted the frightened dog.
The woman didn't know when she died, and her face still had an extremely frightened expression. The door connecting the corridor on the fourth floor and the corridor of the residents was locked. I don't know if this woman had done it before she was alive.
"Don't open that door. Maybe the woman locked the door to hide from the monster and died of excessive blood loss." Jiang Shuai said as he watched Tang Shu put her handle on the doorknob to test it.
Tang Shu nodded cautiously. The two of them carefully walked around this area.
The two of them did not exchange any more information and kept silent until they walked to the first floor. The two of them sat and rested at the back door of the stairwell on the first floor. As soon as they walked out from here, they were in the parking lot, which was very close. According to Jiang Shuai, he
The car is parked in the parking lot.
The things Tang Shu encountered that day that had their faces ripped off were unknown to where they went. Only some flesh-and-blood tissue frozen on the iron door warned people of what had happened here.
After confirming that there was nothing else around, the two started talking again.
"There are not many living people, but there are not necessarily many monsters." Jiang Shuai said.
"Is it because most of them died, and the rest turned into monsters?" Tang Shu guessed, "We came down from the 14th floor, and apart from the ones behind the door on the 4th floor, we didn't encounter any other monsters."
"It's possible that most of them turned into monsters, but were locked up in their own homes." Jiang Shuai analyzed, "As for the monsters we encountered before, none of them showed obvious intelligence. Although they are flexible, they seem to have IQ.
It's not even strong enough to open the door."
Tang Shu changed to a more comfortable sitting position and asked: "What do you think we are experiencing? Is it a biohazard? The exposure of some experimental virus? But the mud monster you encountered in your house does not look like the product of a biohazard.
"
"I'm more inclined to believe that this is the evolution of some kind of species." Jiang Shuai rubbed his frozen hands, took a breath and put them on his neck to warm them, "Let me talk about it first, I killed a monster and killed one.
Monster, I haven't slept for nearly 29 hours, but I don't feel sleepy or tired at all. Killing a monster is completely unexpected, and my strength is much greater than I thought."
Jiang Shuai paused for a moment after saying this, trying hard to see Tang Shu clearly in the dimness, and focusing on her clothes.
"It sounds impossible, because people can exert their super long potential even at the limit, but we have another example."
"Let's talk about you."
Jiang Shuai looked at the temperature display on his phone and showed it to Tang Shu. The weak light from the phone was extremely dazzling in the dark corridor, and even the numbers on it were made even more incredible.
