342, Mutant 05

Other residents were not so lucky. Many people were broken into by breaking into their houses and windows. Every moment, they could hear crashes and screams coming from somewhere. Yu Heng had already finished a whole bottle of gene-enhancing liquid, and his body strengthening had entered the final stage. He knew that Zheng Hengli had been observing him, but he still followed the original plan and exercised every day.

Exercise, there is nothing wrong, right? Zheng Hengli observed for seven days and finally put aside her doubts.

Yu Heng did not give the gene-enhancing liquid to other members of the Zheng family. There were too many unknown things in this mission world. After learning from Zheng Hengli that there were hidden mutants, he also became wary of the Zheng family. He hypnotized Zheng Hengli and was sure that she was not a mutant, but he could not be sure of Zheng's mother and father. He was not the original body, and he did not trust and rely on the Zheng couple for the time being.

Wait a little longer!

On the seventh day, the chaos outside suddenly improved a lot. Yu Heng looked out from the window. It was noon, and the streets were empty. The mutants who usually pried open doors and smashed windows were nowhere to be seen.

He asked Zheng Hengli, and Zheng Hengli thought for a while: "It seems that it was the same in the dream, but in the dream, my mother and I - the door of our house was broken, and we were busy repairing the door and didn't pay attention. Thinking about it, it seems that there are really no mutants today."

"Try to call the police and see if you can get through?"

"No! Still no!!"

Halfway through the day, the mutants haven't appeared yet, which is really good news! Other people in the community have started to move. There is no food at home, so they have to find food quickly!

Many neighbors came to the Zheng family to borrow food, all upstairs and downstairs. That day, Zheng Hengli bought a lot of things and delivered them to the door. The deliveryman carried boxes up and down, and many people saw it.

Zheng's father and mother couldn't refuse, so they could only send some. "We have things at home. If we don't lend them at all, people will poke us in the back."

"If you don't want to lend them, then don't lend them. If you want to poke them, then poke them. Who are you afraid of?" Zheng Hengli stiffened her neck and wanted to go out to chase them away, but was stopped by her mother: "Why are you so impatient, you damn girl!"

She held her eldest daughter and explained in a low voice: "There are so many people in the community. If they want to rob, how can we beat them? If they hold a grudge and unite to smash our door, what should we do? Don't worry, don't worry! Mom said that if we lend them to others, we will have a reason to say that we don't have much stuff left. At that time, those people we lend them to will also speak for us and stand on our side."

"...Okay, I'll listen to Mom."

After the things were sent out, the family's food was a little less. Zheng Hengli was heartbroken. In the end times, the most important thing is food. She didn't know how long this turmoil would last. Anyway, it was still chaotic when she died.

Some borrowed things, and some went out to buy things. The community organized a group and set out at three o'clock in the afternoon. Some went out with kitchen knives, hammers, wrenches, and baseball bats. The Zheng family did not go. Zhou Zhengkang's wife next door knocked on the door again and asked them to break open the door opposite. She wanted to collect Zhou Zhengkang's body.

Zheng's mother stuffed her two daughters back into the house seriously: "Go watch TV, don't come out." She and her husband closed the door and went out to pry the lock of the opposite door.

Soon, the couple came back, their faces were as white as pot ash. "Mom and Dad, what happened?"

"The bodies are gone. The windows inside are broken and open to the wind." The ground was covered with dried blood, layered into lumps.

After hearing what Zheng's mother said, Yu Heng understood that the bodies were most likely eaten by mutants.

"Auntie Zhou is crying."

"Well, it's good to cry." Mother Zheng sighed, stood up and said, "I'll go pack some things and send them to Sister Zhou."

Before nightfall, people in the community also came back, and they were all in high spirits. Their voices could be heard in the corridor.

Mother Zheng felt like she was scratched by a cat, so she opened the door and waited. Finally, she saw a familiar neighbor, and hurriedly called out to pull the person over to ask about the situation outside. "Hey, don't worry, I'll help you move things later! Talk quickly, I'm so nervous at home, I'm so nervous!"

"Okay, okay, don't bother me, I'll tell you something." Mrs. Chen, who was pulled, said it in a long and short way: "We went out, and we didn't meet any weird people. The door of the supermarket was wide open, and you can take things at will without paying..."

When Mother Zheng returned home, Yu Heng saw it. Her face was full of the word "heartbeat", and she couldn't help but smile. Shopping for free, taking things at will, who wouldn't be tempted by such a good thing? The housewives who were responsible for purchasing daily necessities at home were even more tempted. Even he was tempted before. Shopping is indeed a very satisfying and joyful activity.

Zheng's father was unwilling: "We still have a lot of things at home, so let's not go."

"No matter how much, we will use it up. Didn't my eldest sister say that? When the army comes, we will go to the base with them. There is nothing good to eat in the base. We can save more for later use. Besides, if we don't go with them, isn't it obvious that there are still a lot of things at home? Then someone will miss them. It's better to go together, and there is also an explanation." Zheng's mother is a person with a righteous mind. Once she makes up her mind, she must go. Therefore, she gave several reasons, all of which are reasonable.

"Okay, let's go. I'll go, and you can look after the children at home."

Yu Heng was also wondering why the mutants suddenly disappeared. Where are they hiding? Hiding in the dark is actually scarier than showing up in the open, because you don't know who he is. According to Zheng Hengli, those mutants can change back to their original normal appearance. How can they be recognized if they immerse themselves in a crowd?

It was a rare quiet night that night. After he finished practicing, he continued to sleep. In his dream, he heard noises coming from home. He woke up immediately without moving, and listened carefully with his ears raised. Jian Ti Tong Principe has just succeeded in entraining Qi. Although his hearing has improved a little under the influence of genetic medicine, it is difficult to hear even the smallest sounds.

I got out of bed and stood behind the door and listened carefully. I could only hear the ticking of the clock outside. After standing for a full ten minutes, he returned to bed and fell asleep. In the next bed across the curtain, Zheng Hengli was sleeping soundly.

The next day, people in the community organized another outing. This time Father Zheng also went, bringing a big travel bag from home that could be carried on his back. Zheng's mother was waiting anxiously at home. Zheng Hengli was absentmindedly reading a novel. Yu Heng saw her and said, "Let's do some exercise together. If we train our bodies well, we won't be afraid of mutants."

"How can you beat them! They are so strong, some can fly and some can be invisible... It was a coincidence for you that day. When the mutants first mutated, they were not that powerful. What's more, you still have a gun. ”

Yu Heng ignored Zheng Hengli's sour tone and only asked: "If you meet a mutant, will you just sit and wait to die? Not even run?" If this is really the case, then she has really wasted this time. Once reborn, he will not waste any energy on her from now on.

Zheng Hengli bit her lip, recalling that she was chased by mutants in her previous life. She ran as hard as she could, but she was still dragged, and the sharp teeth bit her throat. How painful it was... She put down the novel in her hand and made up her mind: "You're right, at least you have to be able to outrun it."

The family began to exercise. Yu Heng and Zheng Hengli also taught Zheng's mother radio gymnastics. The radio gymnastics was very good. For those who haven't exercised for a long time, practice it first to stretch the body. Later, the effect of in-depth exercise will not be bad.

In the evening, people who went to the supermarket came back one after another, but Zheng's father was nowhere to be seen, which made the family anxious to death. Zheng's mother couldn't help it. She went one by one to ask those who had come back, but they couldn't explain clearly. .

When the sky darkened, the lights at home suddenly went out, which made Zheng Hengli scream. Zheng's mother went to check the electric switch. Yu Heng opened the curtains and looked outside: "The whole community has a power outage." Zheng's mother's heart was on fire. If she went out to find her husband, her two daughters would stay in the dark home. , she can’t feel relieved either!

Fortunately, at early seven o'clock, Zheng's father finally came back, carrying a huge travel bag and holding a sack full of sacks in his hands. Zheng's mother cried with joy. After closing the door, she quickly checked up and down and used a flashlight to shine: "Are you okay? Not hurt?"

"No, no! I'm fine. Don't worry. Look, I brought so many things back."

Zheng's mother asked again why she came back so late. Zheng's father said helplessly: "Nearly all the nearby supermarkets have been moved, so I and others went to a supermarket farther away. When we came back, the car ran out of gas and we went to look for it again. Gas station……"

Yu Heng's nose moved. He smelled blood. Father Zheng smelled blood. He asked: "Dad, are you not in danger?"

Father Zheng said no, "I met a mutant in the supermarket. His face was green, as if he was poisoned. But there were many of us, so he ran away when he saw us."

"That's good." Yu Heng said with a smile, but he looked at the other person's face and expression vaguely. He felt a little strange. Unfortunately, there was a power outage, and everyone's face was darkened by the candlelight, making it difficult to see anything.

Early the next morning, there were knocks on the doors of other households, including the Zheng family. It was just dawn, and Yu Heng went to bed late last night practicing. However, his sleep quality was good, and six hours was enough for him to replenish his energy. He woke up when the door downstairs was knocked. The noise downstairs was quite quiet, it sounded like they were looking for someone.

As soon as he brushed his teeth, there was a knock on his door. He only opened the inner door and asked what happened through the iron door.

"Where's your dad? Did your dad go to the supermarket yesterday? He hasn't seen my xxx yet?"

"And my xx!"

Yu Heng understood and said to wait a moment, he would call his father. Father Zheng was also woken up and walked out in confusion, saying that he had never seen him before and that he came back by himself. "My car was almost out of gas on the way, so I went to the gas station to refuel myself. I didn't see yours..."

After closing the door, Father Zheng smiled and said to Yu Heng, "Go to bed quickly, it's still early."

"Um."

On this day, everyone in the community did not sleep well. Among those who went out yesterday, twenty-seven people were missing. They said they were going out together, but in fact they all went their own way. As a group, they could go back to the community together. When the family couldn't wait for them at night, they were shocked to find out that the person was missing! No one dared to go out at night. To make matters worse, there was a power outage last night! So we waited and waited, and at dawn, we hurried out to find someone and asked other people who were going out together.

But there are no traces or clues, and no one can tell the reason. It was also at this time that the property management company remembered the previous reporting phone number.

Lu Sien and Lu Kaiqi, could it be they did it? Yesterday I went out to look for food, and these two people also went out... Chen Xianhe, the person in charge of the property management, thought for a long time, and then held a meeting with other cadres, and they all felt that something should be done.

"Lock people up and give them food and drink!"

"Would it be illegal to do this?"

"That can't be helped! What if they are really man-eating monsters? If we don't take precautions, more people will die. If they are not, we will apologize at that time!"

The two men's next move was decided.

Yu Heng soon found out about this matter, because it was a big deal and someone died on the spot.
