Chapter 66 Escort
The bicycle is Zhang Xiaoxiao's means of travel. After leaving the convoy, he found a hidden place to take the bicycle out of the system and set off towards the destination. Don’t ask why you don’t drive a car. Her space package can also accommodate bicycles and electric vehicles.
During the ride, I encountered few survivors, but those who passed by were all withered and in rags. As for Zhang Xiaoxiao, even though she had undergone make-up changes and her clothes were in tatters, she still looked different.
Within a mile, Zhang Xiaoxiao found someone following him. He felt nervous and panicked. As soon as the car turned around, he rushed into the residential area, found a place to collect the bicycle, and hid in the corridor.
There were hurried footsteps outside the building, and they stopped at the entrance of the nearby corridor. "Hey, where are the people? They turned here just now." A man's voice came. Judging from the footsteps, there were at least three people.
"We should be hiding in the building. Let's divide into three groups, one building per person."
Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was hiding below the first floor, clutched the watermelon knife in her hand. Her heart was beating fast, her breathing was low, and she realized that people outside were coming towards her hiding place.
Step by step... getting closer...
Just as he was about to strike first, he stretched out a hand from his side and tightly covered Zhang Xiaoxiao's mouth and nose. The latter's eyes widened in horror, and he raised his hand to strike. Suddenly, a voice came from his ears, "Don't go out of your way." "Hey, there is a secret door behind us, let's go in and talk."
Zhang Xiaoxiao, whose heart was about to burst out of her chest, didn't move anymore. The person behind her quickly released her grip, pulled her, stepped on the air, and fell into the darkness.
Even though her whole body hit the ground, Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't make a sound, for fear of being heard outside.
"Huh? There's no one here. Looks like they're going upstairs." The people outside muttered and went upstairs.
"Are you okay?" came a nice male voice. He sounded young.
Zhang Xiaoxiao stood up and found no injuries on his body. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. Thank you."
"The building here has fallen. There are no living people. If they go up there, there will be no way to survive." The male voice was sure.
"Are you not alive?"
"I used to live in this building, and I came back to pick up some things. I'm leaving soon, and I met you." The male voice explained patiently.
When he first came in, although he didn't see the whole community, Zhang Xiaoxiao was sure that there was no trace of survivors living here, there were no zombies, and it was completely silent.
"Are all the zombies trapped up there?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little curious.
"Absolutely, but the houses here have been in disrepair for a long time. They have long been deemed dangerous and are about to be demolished. The young people have moved away, leaving only some elderly people who love their homes. There are not many. There are only a few dozen people in total. They don’t come out often, so it’s not very harmful if they all mutate, but if you break in on your own, it’s a different matter.”
As if to prove the truth of the boy's words, a scream suddenly came from upstairs, and then there were rapid footsteps coming down.
He was very fast, and soon he rushed downstairs and ran away.
Hearing the people leaving, Zhang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go out."
The boy didn't say anything, but the lights in the room suddenly turned on. The man under the lights was just like his name. He was a tall, thin and handsome young man. Zhang Xiaoxiao thought he should be about the same age as her.
"Hello, I promise." The young man's pure voice was full of sunshine, so dreamy that it made people think it was still in a peaceful era.
"Xiaoxiao." Zhang Xiaoxiao gathered his thoughts and walked towards the door.
It was only two steps away. When Zhang Xiaoxiao nervously squeezed the door handle, a young man chuckled from behind. With a bang, Zhang Xiaoxiao opened the door and rushed out. Seeing the dim sky, this Only then did I feel relieved and feel a sense of security.
Turning around, the young man came out with his pale red lips raised and his peach blossom eyes smiling, "You don't have to be afraid, I'm from Central City."
The three words "Central City" can be regarded as the best explanation for his appearance that is different from that of a wanderer in the apocalypse.
But, even so, Zhang Xiaoxiao did not dare to believe it easily. After all, this was the end of the world, and such an era was not friendly to women.
"Thank you just now. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and wanted to leave.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, it's not safe for you to go alone."
Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't reply and moved faster.
Xu Nuo didn't expect that one day, he would scare a little girl and run away. Does he look like a bad guy? He held his forehead helplessly and laughed angrily.
There was sudden movement behind him. Xunuo's face condensed and he turned around. Two black figures flew toward him. Xunuo dodges nimbly. A sharp dagger appeared in his palm, and he turned around and pierced the forehead of the fastest shadow. , and at the same time, a fist hit the handle of the knife. As soon as the blade turned, the black shadow's head exploded. The boy stepped back to avoid the flying brains. Another black shadow made a coughing sound, and rushed with a rather slow movement. Coming over, Xu Nuo's eyes fell on the man's broken leg. Tsk...it was so miserable, the leg was gone.
Easily prying off the head of the zombie with broken legs, Xu Nuo wiped the dagger clean, and just as he was about to walk out, he saw Zhang Xiaoxiao standing under the dead tree at some point.
"Eh? Xiaoxiao, you haven't left yet?" Xu Nuo's eyes were a little playful.
"You are strong."
It seemed that he had been praised too much. Xu Nuo shrugged calmly, "Obviously."
"Send me to a place and I'll give you ten strawberries."
The word strawberry fell, and Xu Nuo's indifferent expression solidified, "Strawberry?" Are you sure you're not joking? Even in Central City, the strawberry production is very small, and the supply is basically from the top. People like them don't even have to think about it.
"Yes."
"Deal." Recalling the strawberry taste he had when he was a child, Xu Nuo didn't have the willpower to refuse such a deal.
As for what he came out to do, who knows?
God knows, he always dreamed of eating strawberries, but he couldn't get them at all.
"This is the deposit." Zhang Xiaoxiao took out a strawberry in a plastic bag from his schoolbag. It was as big as a human nose.
Xu Nuo breathed heavily when he saw the love berries in his dream. He rushed over quickly, picked up the strawberries and couldn't wait to tear open the bag. As soon as the cold and sweet strawberries entered his mouth, Xu Nuo thought, at this moment, he would die without a care. Sorry.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was speechless as she watched the young man eating the strawberry with an expression of emotion on his face, as if he had taken some elixir. He was so intoxicated that he doubted whether his decision was correct.
"Is there any more?" The taste in his mouth has not faded yet, Xu Nuo can't wait to ask for the reward later.
"I'll give it to you when it's delivered." It's too late. What if I don't go?
"You've lost money." The implication is, aren't you afraid of me robbing you?
"If you want to die together." Zhang Xiaoxiao revealed the explosive charm disguised as a grenade hidden under his wrist. The stretched fuse was Zhang Xiaoxiao's confidence.
Promise:…
Do you want to be so cruel...just a few strawberries.
Zhang Xiaoxiao: Haha.
