Chapter 28 The Courage to Live

When he was approaching the window on the third floor, Liu Gan tried his best to distinguish the possible sounds from inside, and was fully on guard against possible surprise attacks. But there was no movement inside, until Liu Qian climbed in from the open window on the third floor, he didn't encounter other zombies again.

There are some sticky things on the window sill on the third floor. It seems that zombies have crawled through here. I don’t know whether they crawled in or out. This seems to mean that the small building is not safe and must be carried out. After a comprehensive cleaning and investigation, you can move in.

After retracting the hanging rope back into the room, Liu Qian carefully searched around the third floor. The layout of the third floor is very simple, there is only one room with a simple bathroom. There was a small bed and a wardrobe in the room. Liu Qian checked the bottom of the bed first, but found nothing unusual, so he opened the wardrobe again, and there were some men's and women's clothes hanging and stacked inside. After pulling them apart, there were no zombies hiding inside. .

There is a simple dressing table next to the small bed, and lipstick, nail polish and other cosmetics are scattered on the table, which shows that a woman has indeed lived here.

There is a dining table near the wall, with a simple alcohol stove on it, and a small stainless steel pot on top of the alcohol stove. There is still some juice from cooking instant noodles in the small pot, which has completely cooled down. There were several empty bags of instant noodles and some empty bags of biscuits in the trash can beside the dining table; there were four or five boxes of beverages stacked on the ground under the dining table, but they were filled with empty beverage bottles. Already drunk by the people who live here.

Except for some zombie-specific sticky matter on the windowsill on the third floor, nothing abnormal was found elsewhere. There was no blood on the ground, and no obvious signs of fighting. There was only a small stool lying on the ground. Knocked down.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone living here? If there are people, we can leave and choose to settle elsewhere." Liu Gan whispered a few times into the small building. If there are people living in the small building, this level of calling The sound was enough for them to hear, even if there were zombies hiding inside, it should be enough to lure them out of their hiding place.

There was no response in the small building, and it was so quiet that no one or zombies existed, only the whistling wind outside the window came in from time to time.

If the proprietress was forced to climb the window and go downstairs by the zombies, then it is very likely that the zombie that chased her followed her out of the window, jumped from the window, and did not stay in the small building, so Liu Gan just now The shout did not cause any movement.

The question is, where did that zombie come from? Did she let it in through the front door?

It seemed unlikely that the shutters were locked, which meant that the woman had plenty of time to lock the shutters when she got back to the hardware store, at least the store would still be safe then.

This matter must be clarified, otherwise it will be very unsafe to stay here at night.

Liu Qian didn't find anything abnormal or dangerous on the third floor, so he stood by the simple stairs and turned on the flashlight to take a picture on the second floor. After confirming that the area covered by the flashlight was safe, he went down the simple stairs to the second floor. building.

The layout of the second floor and the third floor are similar, the same room has a bathroom, and there is a bed in the room, but there is a faint smell of corpse in the room on the second floor, similar to the smell emitted by the body of a zombie. It also made Liu Gan highly vigilant.

But there is still no sign of zombies on the second floor... Except for the messy bed, the rancid slime on the bed, and some broken ropes...

Using a flashlight to take a picture of a group photo of a man and a woman on the table next to the bed, and carefully observing the various clues left in the room, Liu Gan made a rough guess about what happened here.

It is very likely that when the plague that caused most people in the Shivering World to turn into zombies broke out, the shop owner and the proprietress were not infected, but were trapped in this hardware store in their home.

Any game has its own independent background setting, and the background setting of some games is even very grand. With Sanyu's consistent urgency, the game they produced must also have an extremely logical background story, so There must also be a suitable reason and a reasonable advancement process for the outbreak of the zombie virus in the trembling world.

Judging from the current situation, except for the players who came in who were not infected, almost all the aborigines in this world were infected, but there were also some people who survived and became survivors, maybe the boss and the proprietress in the store were two of them .

As for what the reason is, it is temporarily unknown.

Surviving in such an almost extinct situation is not necessarily a good thing for the survivors themselves. Relatives and friends have all turned into zombies, power and water are cut off, there is no food and drinking water, and there is no social order. It is still an extremely difficult task for survivors to survive this chaotic doomsday.

This kind of survival requires not only food and drinking water, but also the courage of the survivors, the courage to persevere in despair.

The hardware store is not too far from the small supermarket that Liu Gan had been to before. After the outbreak of zombies, for the survival of himself and his wife, the store owner should have ventured to the small supermarket a few times, brought some drinks and food back, and bought some food from biscuits. It can be seen from packaging bags of instant noodles and empty boxes of beverages.

The shop owner didn't have time to move all the drinks and food here. He was bitten or scratched by a zombie attack when he went out, but he still fled back to the hardware store tenaciously.

The boss who fled back fell ill and lay on the bed. The wife of the boss was worried that he would turn into a zombie, but she couldn't bear to abandon him like this, so she tied him to the bed on the second floor with a rope. Death turned into zombies.

The boss who turned into a zombie broke the ropes that bound him, and took the lady boss as a hunting target. At that time, the lady boss was staying on the third floor. escape through the windows of the building. The boss who turned into a zombie chased after him, followed the escaped lady boss and jumped directly from the third floor, and caught up with the lady boss who was trying to escape, throwing her to the ground.

It is very likely that among the five zombies that gnawed on the woman's body just now, this woman turned into a zombie's husband. Or it was her husband who gnawed on the woman first, and the other four zombies gradually gathered together after smelling the smell of blood.

This is a somewhat sad background story. Judging from the clues we have so far, the real result should be close to Liu Qian's speculation.
