Chapter 166: End of the World - Zombie Era (5)
The other side's pleading was so strong that even though Ji Jiaqi was alert, she was also interested in the first communication with her kind in such a long time and the materials he mentioned.
But it was impossible for her to go downstairs, open the door and go to the opposite floor to get it. The world is so difficult now, and she is alone. She can kill zombies by routine, but she is really not sure about facing humans who have thoughts and can think like her.
She had experienced the horror of human hearts before the end of the world, and now she doesn't want to experience it in such a bad situation.
Fortunately, the other side didn't seem to expect her to come to get it. After Ji Jiaqi agreed and said that she would not go over, the young man on the other side buried his head in writing and drawing for a while, and then raised it high after writing:
"I have a nylon rope here, pass it with the rope."
Use the rope?
Ji Jiaqi's mind immediately flashed countless physics knowledge. At that time, she was dying to memorize for the exam, but she didn't expect that she would use it now after many years of graduation.
Next, Lin Shiheng squatted at the window, watching with interest as the man on the opposite side tied a half-palm-sized solid figurine to one end of the rope, half of its body stuck outside the window, and threw it towards Ji Jiaqi.
The two were on opposite floors, so it was not easy to hit the target. Ji Jiaqi wanted to help at first, but when she found that she couldn't catch it either, she simply opened the window wide and gave the man a place to catch it. She went to the other window to estimate the distance between the two floors.
After struggling for more than an hour, with a sound of metal falling to the ground, one end of the rope was finally thrown over.
Ji Jiaqi collected it here and he released it there. I don't know what this person did before the end of the world. He actually had such a long rope. To be on the safe side, she pulled it farther than she measured. After making sure that there would be no embarrassment of not being able to throw it over, Ji Jiaqi tied the thick rope to the window guardrail, went around the two guardrails, picked up the end of the metal figurine, and threw it towards the opposite window.
I don't know if it's because she has been fighting zombies these days, or if she has good aim. It seemed like she had worked hard for the whole afternoon, but in just one shot, the rope was thrown into the opposite window.
It was also because of her hit that Lin Shiheng could vaguely see that the young man opposite had a stronger admiration on his face, and he was obviously more convinced that Ji Jiaqi was a big shot.
He tied the rope that Ji Jiaqi threw to him together with the rope that he had left on his side before, and tied several knots firmly. After making sure that it would never break, he searched the house and found a sturdy bag to tie to the left rope. To show his sincerity, he didn't talk about the conditions, and directly put a telescope into the bag, and then pulled the right rope to let the left go to the opposite side.
Ji Jiaqi was a little surprised when she got the telescope. This telescope was not the kind of telescope for children on the market. When she touched it, she knew it was real. She tentatively put it in front of her eyes to look at the opposite side, and even saw a red pimple on the nose of the person opposite clearly.
Such a good thing would not be cheap before the end of the world.
The young man over there saw Ji Jiaqi looking at him with a telescope, and he quickly wrote and held it up for her to see.
Knowing that she could see clearly, he did not deliberately write big this time.
[Boss!! This is a military high-power telescope, with an observation distance of 15,000 meters, ultra-clear and unobstructed, waterproof night vision, can see zombies and neighbors, exchange it with me, you will not suffer a loss or be fooled, boss!! ]
His screen was full of desire to survive, and the thing was really a good thing. Ji Jiaqi hesitated for a moment, picked up the bag and turned to the room to fill half a bag of food.
Logically speaking, such a good telescope would not be enough for her to fill it up, but although this person seemed harmless, it was better to be cautious.
If he acted as if he was very generous and had a lot of food, no one could be sure whether he would have bad intentions.
So when the bag was returned, the young man on the opposite building had received half a bag of food and a note from Ji Jiaqi saying that she didn't eat much and could only give half a bag.
He started eating like crazy when he got the food, wishing he could choke to death.
It was good that Ji Jiaqi was willing to give him food. At least she didn't take his things and didn't give him food. In this situation, if she really did that, could he still fly over to seek revenge on her?
Of course, if she was really such a person, he would have his own way to take revenge.
But since this girl with full martial arts value didn't look like a bad person, he could contact her with confidence.
So, in the next few days, Ji Jiaqi's window received things from the opposite side several times.
The opposite side first introduced himself to him. His name was Gu Chengbei. He was a technical geek. He knew a little ** and could make a lot of things. Because he had a conflict with his family and was conceited that he didn't need to study those courses when he was in school, he had been shrinking in the house after dropping out of school, doing the work of taking orders online.
Taking orders does not involve delivering food or running errands. Rather, it means that the buyer posts the requirements on the website. If he feels that he can do it, he will contact the buyer and attach the conditions. Once both parties agree on the price, the buyer will pay half of the deposit first, and he will get the other half after completing the task.
Gu Chengbei is really gifted. As long as he wants, it is not difficult to make money. He takes orders just to make a living. The messy things in the house are bought when he takes orders. The telescope and generator are all his own.
After introducing himself, Gu Chengbei began to recommend himself.
He can make a gun and has tools. If the tools are complete, he can even make a gun. Although the power is off now, he can use a small homemade surveillance camera to observe the surrounding environment and infer whether there is any danger. Moreover, if he finds a car, he has strong hands-on ability and can modify it to the extent that zombies can surround the car and cannot eat the people inside. For the rest, even if he doesn't know how to do it, as long as he is given the drawings, he is sure to study it.
These are the points that can impress Ji Jiaqi, and he also said a lot of the rest.
What can cook, barbecue, drive, draw, and even mention that he can shovel cat litter and pet cats first-class.
Gu Chengbei did not hide that he had observed this place with a telescope before. As for why he was so active in promoting himself, he also said all his speculations about the future without hiding.
[I have observed the surroundings before and released the small detection robot I made to see the situation nearby. It is very bad. Most of the living people are hiding in their homes. Only a few people come out to kill zombies and find supplies, or to leave the city. And maybe some people made a lot of noise when they left the city, and the nearby zombies also rushed over here. There will be less and less food in the future, but there will be more and more zombies. At that time, the remaining people will not only have to kill zombies, but also have to guard against their own kind. ]
Gu Chengbei also brought Ji Jiaqi two not-so-good news: [I have observed that some people with superpowers have begun to take advantage of their superpowers and the fact that no one cares about them in the end of the world, and took the opportunity to find other ordinary people without superpowers to rob and bully, and no one seems to have noticed that the zombies are moving much faster than on the first day. They used to walk slowly, but now they can trot. If they continue to evolve like this, it will be useless for us to hide in the house. 】
That’s why he was so eager to find a companion to leave together. Gu Chengbei was very self-aware. Although he could make many lethal things, he was a weakling. If he left alone, he would either be eaten by zombies or picked up by those people.
He found Ji Jiaqi not only because she was good at killing zombies and cleaned them up carefully layer by layer, but also because it was the end of the world and she still kept a cat.
Such a fat cat must have a lot of food to eat. Since he could keep the cat, his heart couldn’t be too bad. Even if they couldn’t reach an agreement, they wouldn’t do anything to him.
Thinking of this, he quickly wrote a piece of paper and passed it over.
It described in detail how good he was at fishing and how delicious the fish he caught tasted. For fear that Ji Jiaqi would not believe it, he also attached a photo of him holding a big fat fish to prove how useful he was.
Ji Jiaqi was indeed moved. In her plan, she would leave this city sooner or later. It was better to go alone than to go with two people.
But the two had just known each other for a few days, so she still had to observe and plan the route when she was not killing zombies.
So the two of them started to design the route map. Gu Chengbei had just ordered a room full of water before the apocalypse, but who knew that the apocalypse came before he could replenish the food. In the middle of the design, he would occasionally use bottles to exchange water for food.
The two planned for almost four or five days, determined the route, and planned the first, second, third, fourth and fifth steps. Finally, on this day, they decided to wait until the zombies in the building of Gu Chengbei were cleared, and then they would set off.
Now they can pack up.
Ji Jiaqi has a room full of things, but unfortunately she can't take them away, so she can only try to select those light and hunger-resistant foods to pack up.
Gu Chengbei was even more reluctant to leave this and that in his room.
These are all his savings.
He could only sigh while packing up, feeling sorry for the things he was forced to leave behind.
It seemed like an ordinary afternoon. Ji Jiaqi was checking his luggage one by one according to the list, but he heard a sharp, short and tender scream.
The scream lasted less than two seconds and then suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
In the early days of the apocalypse, screams were common. If you were careless, you might not care about it, but Ji Jiaqi suddenly tensed up.
The scream was from a child.
And there was a child downstairs.
Gu Chengbei on the opposite side also heard the scream. He was shocked and hurried to find his remaining telescope to look at the opposite side.
As a result, his face immediately flushed with anger, and he picked up the □□ beside him and was about to walk out.
Fortunately, he was still rational. Halfway through the walk, he remembered that the zombies in his building had not been cleaned up. He could only hold back his anger, write down the paper quickly with trembling hands, put it in a bag and handed it to the opposite side.
Ji Jiaqi received the paper he handed over.
[A man broke into the child's house on the second floor, and I saw that the child was covered in blood! ! 】
Her face suddenly changed.
With a gloomy face, she picked up her kitchen knife and went downstairs.
Lin Shiheng narrowed his cat eyes slightly and followed behind, wagging his tail.
