Chapter 2 The mutation begins
"System! Are you there? Help!" he shouted.
No response.
Forget it, it’s better to seek help from others than from yourself.
Deng Yun moved two chairs against the door, then went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife. He used tape to wrap layers of hard paper around the handle of the knife, lengthening the handle so that it would cause more damage when swung and the attack range would be greater.
Stretch to avoid being injured by zombies.
He found a few more magazines and put simple armor on his limbs.
After all this work, he was exhausted and sweating profusely, but he felt a sense of security in his heart.
Calm down and your mind will stop thinking wildly.
This zombie virus shouldn't last long. Now that weapons are so advanced and the rescue team responds quickly, it should be suppressed soon.
He was worried about his father again and wanted to call to inquire about the situation, but he was also afraid that his phone call would bring danger to the other party.
The room was very quiet. Deng Yun could hear the beating of his heart. Suddenly there was movement outside the door. The sound of "ho ho" was very weak, much like the sound of saliva blocking the breath.
Deng Yun's nerves were extremely tense, his eyes were fixed on the door, and the kitchen knife in his hand was tightened.
How did this zombie get up? Elevator? No, zombies can use elevators? Climb stairs? Climb directly up to the 20th floor? This physical strength is enough.
Deng Yun couldn't help complaining that there were zombies on such a high floor, and the virus was spreading too fast.
Unable to control his inner curiosity, Deng Yun knelt on the chair and carefully looked outside through the peephole.
Under the light of the corridor, the delivery boy just now was wandering outside, stumbling, his blood-stained mask hanging on his ears, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth from time to time, his eyes were bloodshot, looking like red eyes, and his skin had turned pale.
Purple, the capillaries appear black as if they are congested, spreading over the entire face like a spider web, which looks very scary.
Deng Yun was so frightened that his body was shaking slightly.
At this time, the cell phone ringtone rang at an inappropriate time.
Oops, I forgot to turn off mute!
The delivery boy was like a stimulated beast and rushed towards the door crazily.
Deng Yun was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. The door was knocked loudly, and a beast-like roar came from outside the door.
He hurriedly flipped the mute button. After the ringing stopped, he quickly pointed at the door with his kitchen knife.
The door was shaken constantly by the smashing, and the area where it was hit was slightly raised. I didn't expect this zombie to be so strong.
Deng Yun's body was trembling. If he continued to smash, the door would be broken open sooner or later. If other zombies were attracted, he would have a narrow escape.
He looked at the dining table in the living room and hurriedly dragged the table to prop it up against the door.
At this time, a woman's scream and the sound of a child crying were heard outside the door.
Deng Yun's heart skipped a beat, it's over, it's the mother and son next door.
The movement at the door suddenly stopped, the roaring sound ran towards the mother and son's voice, and then there was the sound of a heavy door closing.
Deng Yun wanted to rush out to save people, but his legs were trembling and he was powerless. He could only pray secretly that the mother and son would be okay.
The phone was still vibrating. Deng Yun took out the phone and found that it was his father's phone number.
He quickly answered the call, and heard the roar of vehicles on the other end of the phone...
"Xiaoyun! I can't go home for the time being! Don't go out! Don't trust strangers! Go find Uncle Huajiu before I wait!"
My father's tone was urgent and commanding.
"Dad! What's wrong with you?!" Deng Yun said anxiously.
But the other party immediately hung up the phone, and when he called back, he was prompted to turn off his phone.
"What's the situation?! I don't know clearly." Deng Yun was upset.
Uncle Hua Jiu is his father's college classmate. Both of them graduated from medical universities and studied with a top professor in the country. Later, for unknown reasons, they left the professor and came to N city to develop.
Uncle Hua Jiu lives more than ten kilometers away from him. In this situation, running ten meters is dangerous. How can he get to his house?
Deng Yun clenched his phone and felt confused.
He took a deep breath, returned to the computer, and searched for information on the Internet.
The speed of the Internet is still very timely, and a lot of information about the zombie outbreak has been uploaded, not only photos, but also videos. Deng Yun also discovered that the zombie virus broke out not only domestically, but also abroad. It seemed that overnight, the whole world suddenly broke out.
Same.
The comments below are full of panic remarks, the end of the world, nature's revenge, God's punishment. Occasionally, a few trolls will jump out and say, not necessarily, what if we can evolve?
Deng Yun silently closed the monitor and looked at the time, 8:20 p.m.
The noise outside the window is getting louder and louder, and gunshots can even be heard.
Deng Yun returned to the hall with a kitchen knife in hand and sat on the sofa waiting for his father to come back.
It only takes more than half an hour to drive from the pharmaceutical factory to home. In about ten minutes, my father will knock on the door.
It was very quiet outside the door. I didn't hear any footsteps or other weird sounds.
Maybe the takeaway boy is already feasting next door...
Thinking of this, Deng Yun shuddered and felt nauseated when he saw the unopened duck blood vermicelli on the table.
Twenty minutes passed, and Deng Yun became anxious. At this point, his father has not returned yet. Could it be that there was an accident?
He sent a text message, "Dad, why haven't you come back yet? There are zombies in the corridor, please pay attention."
I sent the text message, but no reply.
After another half hour, Deng Yun started to panic and called again.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please call again later."
The artificial voice seems even colder at this time, cold to the bones.
Deng Yun felt weak all over, and fear overwhelmed him.
At this time, the phone vibrates, indicating that there is information coming in.
Deng Yun hurriedly looked at it and found that it was not his father's message. It was an official emergency notice.
“Dear citizens, we have encountered an unprecedented crisis. At this time, I hope you can calm down and face it. Stay at home and lock the door. Please stay away from crazy people. If you are bitten or scratched, please consciously stay away from other people.
Finally, if we try to survive, we still have hope."
At this time, ten o'clock sharp, midnight is approaching.
At night, a devil's feast was staged in the community. The screams coming from downstairs stimulated Deng Yun's nerves.
Even outside the door, he could hear faint wailing. He didn't know how many people in this building or community were infected, and he didn't know if he could survive the night.
He tried calling the police, but there was a blind tone. Neither the fire department nor the ambulance could get through. He opened the WeChat group and it was filled with words of help.
In the early hours of the morning, he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and his stomach was growling. He didn't dare to eat the takeaway he ordered, so he could only take out half of the uneaten watermelon from the refrigerator and barely cope.
After eating the cold food, the hunger suddenly eased a lot, the stomach problem was solved, and the sleepiness began to come.
Can't sleep!
Deng Yun shook his head and stood up to exercise. Unfortunately, he couldn't make much movement, so he could only squat up and go back and forth more than thirty times. He was so tired that he had to give up.
If I had known this earlier, I should have run more often with the physical education teacher.
Deng Yun was very upset. He stayed at home all year round and his health deteriorated. Faced with the current situation, it was a fatal threat.
As soon as his body moved, he felt like sleeping. Deng Yun took out his mobile phone and logged into the mobile game, but found that he could not log in for a long time.
Haha, I still want to play games in this situation, as expected of me.
Deng Yun laughed to himself, found a zombie survival manual, and started reading it hard.
After reading a few pages, I found that I couldn’t read it at all.
Deng Yun forced himself to continue reading. The words on the phone became blurry and his brain became mush.
I'll just squint for a while. It doesn't matter if I squint for a while.
Deng Yun leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.
I had a dream. In the dream, a zombie broke through the door. It was the delivery boy. It rushed over with its bloody mouth open and started a life-and-death struggle with Deng Yun.
Unfortunately, Deng Yun was exhausted and was thrown to the ground by the delivery boy. The boy grinned and said, "Give me a good review."
Then he opened his mouth and bit Deng Yun's abdomen...
The pain woke up Deng Yun. He picked up the kitchen knife and looked at the door in horror. There were still two chairs there, and there was no sign of the door being broken.
Deng Yun, who had calmed down, realized that his stomach was churning and the pain was excruciating.
Damn it! I’m upset!
He rushed into the bathroom and tried his best to relieve the pressure in his abdomen.
If a zombie rushes in at this time, will it bite someone who smells like shit? No, no, what’s going on, I’m still thinking about these boring questions.
I took out my phone and looked at it. Oh my god, it's already past five o'clock, and I've actually slept for so long.
Deng Yun was frightened for a while, but fortunately no zombies rushed in, otherwise it would be really tragic if he was bitten to death while sleeping.
There were several new messages on the phone, but there was no message from my father, and my mood suddenly worsened. Fortunately, there was a new message from the monkey.
"Are you there? Are you there?"
"My parents and I are hiding in the house and don't dare to go out. There are zombies outside. Fortunately, we have food at home, so we should be able to take care of ourselves for a while. How are you doing there?"
"Speak, brother, will something happen to you? Don't turn into a zombie! I don't want to hit you in the head."
"I don't dare to call you by voice or video in this situation. If you have nothing to do, please reply to me as soon as possible."
The message was sent at around two o'clock in the morning, when Deng Yun was still sleeping.
Deng Yun thought for a while and quickly turned back.
"I'm fine. I'm asleep at home. I'm waiting for my dad to come home. Just stay well and wait for someone to come over. The zombie virus is also a virus. As long as there is a vaccine, it will be fine."
After a few minutes, we waited for news from the monkey.
"Brother Yun, Niu Bi, you can sleep in such a situation. As expected of you, I have some good news for you. Our family has contacted the rescue team. In two hours, someone will come to rescue us. Don't be idle.
, call the rescue team number more often."
After receiving this information, Deng Yun's eyes lit up. Monkeys can find the rescue team, so can he. Isn't this simpler than the zombie survival manual? Faster?
Just do what you say, turn on the computer, and call the numbers of all the rescue teams in N City.
I've been busy for more than an hour and haven't contacted anyone.
Isn’t this kidding me?
Deng Yun was so angry that he threw his phone on the bed and stood up to stretch his aching waist.
The sun has risen outside the window. Deng Yun opened the curtains of his bedroom and looked at the residential building opposite. He could see several figures walking around in the house. He didn't know whether they were normal people or zombies.
He opened the window a crack, peeked out and looked down. There were many figures wandering on the sidewalk downstairs. Judging from the swaying appearance, he knew they were zombies.
Deng Yunzheng was frightened when he saw it. Suddenly there was a low roar above his head and the sound of scraping the glass railing. When he looked up, he almost wet his pants in fright.
There is a female zombie stuck in the glass upstairs, with a ferocious face, one hand struggling to reach out to Deng Yun, her red eyes full of desire for food.
Deng Yun quickly closed the window and lay on the bed, waiting for his heartbeat to calm down.
His empty stomach began to growl again, and he was hungry again.
Damn it, no matter how hard you die, you can’t starve to death.
Deng Yun found alcohol and wiped the takeout bag, then took out the food and cooked it in a pot for a long time until the vermicelli was reduced to crumbs.
Now, no matter what kind of virus it is, it should be killed.
Holding a bowl of duck blood vermicelli that looked like paste, Deng Yun ate it with anxiety.
At this time, the faint sound of the access control communicator came from outside the door.
Deng Yun thought it was an illusion at first and didn't pay attention. Halfway through the meal, the sound got closer and closer.
He hurried to the door and put his ear to the door to listen. Sure enough, it was the sound of the access control communicator. As the access control sound sounded, he could also hear the chaotic footsteps attracted by the access control sound.
What's the situation? Will zombies still press the door control? One by one?
This is obviously impossible. The zombie has such a high IQ, and he has no chance to eat duck blood fans at home.
Is there a normal person pressing the door downstairs?
Is it really possible? Maybe the rescue team has arrived?
Deng Yun couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this.
The sound of the door control was getting closer and closer. Deng Yun stared at his door control device nervously, praying that it would ring.
Half an hour later, Deng Yun heard the sound of the door control ringing on this floor again.
As expected, someone is checking for survivors in this building.
Chaotic footsteps rushed to this floor, and the excited hoo-hoo sounds of zombies could also be heard.
Deng Yun's back felt cold. This also has side effects. I swear, as long as there is any movement at the door control, I will not let it ring for one more second.
Not long after, his access control device began to flash, and Deng Yun immediately answered it.
He asked tremblingly: "Hello? Who is it?"
"Hello, I am the property owner of the community." A man's voice came from inside.
Deng Yun felt a chill in his heart...
Chapter completed!
