It has been a long time since Manilla moved to the old apartment on Oak Street. It has been six years since she started working as a prostitute. Yes, she started working as a prostitute when she was sixteen.

As a prostitute, she can get more business here.

Tang Ji moved here two years ago. In the past two years, Manila usually only saw Tang Ji when he was commuting to and from work in the morning or evening. The two of them didn't communicate much. They usually met and said hello and passed each other.

, the light bulb at Manilla's house broke a year ago, Tang Ji helped her repair it. This was the most communication between the two of them. They talked about some things. Tang Ji never took care of her business. She even had

The first time he joked that he could give Tang Ji a discount, but Tang Ji still refused.

In Manila's impression, Tang Ji is an ordinary company employee in the big city of New York. He leaves early and comes home late every day. His income is not very high, otherwise he would not live in this old apartment. Except for the fact that he is mixed-race.

Apart from the excellent genes that made Tang Ji outstanding in appearance, Manilla had almost never discovered other shining points in Tang Ji. In other words, in Manilla's impression, Tang Ji was just an ordinary person, a member of the bottom class of the city.

A microcosm of the group.

However, just today, Manilla's impression of Tang Ji changed, because Tang Ji was too calm. When she just ran back to the room, Manilla also noticed the nervousness on Tang Ji's face. Faced with the sudden appearance

Incomprehensible and terrifying things, this state is normal, but after that, Tang Ji became extremely calm. He knew that there were terrible lunatics everywhere outside, and they might even break in at any time. Everything he did was very reasonable.

Organized, he knew to turn on the TV immediately to watch the news, and he knew to call his relatives, and he finally took out the gun, everything was orderly.

What does this mean?

A person with a gun, when encountering a major danger, will immediately think of taking out the gun, staring at the door, maybe smoking, his hands may be shaking, and maybe calling 911 frantically. This is what ordinary people should do.

, and Tang Ji finally took out a gun, indicating that he knew those "lunatics" couldn't break in. This was not a fluke, but they really couldn't break in, so he did what he should do first, and then took it.

Draw a gun.

Although Manilla has a disgraceful career, she has to say that she is a smart woman. When a woman is in danger, if there is a man around her who is willing to help her, then the woman will definitely focus on

In this man's case, because most men are naturally stronger and braver than women, Manilla is good at observing. She has seen too many men of all kinds, and sometimes she can even tell that certain guests will not be happy afterwards.

Willing to pay, default or even beat someone, thereby refusing to take business.

Since Tang Ji came out with the gun, Manilla stood by the window and kept looking at him.

"What are you looking at?" Tang Ji noticed Manilla, turned around and asked casually, in a low voice.

"Oh..." Manilla lowered her head, covering up her little embarrassment, pulled on her large T-shirt, raised her head and said, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

"Sorry, I don't smoke." Tang Ji faced the window, sat on the bed, picked up the phone and held it in his palm, turned around and pointed to the refrigerator not far away on the other side of the bed: "You can eat something, there is some in the refrigerator

Bread and milk... and probably some cereal." After speaking, Tang Ji lowered his head and flipped through his phone's address book.

Manila is a neighbor to Tangji, not a friend, but she is definitely a stranger.

"Thank you!" Manilla said. She walked around the bed with bare feet and walked to the refrigerator. She opened the refrigerator and took a look. She leaned back slightly and looked at Tang Ji. She asked in a low voice: "Tang Ji, do you want something to eat?"

What?"

Tang Ji waved his hand with his back to her, picked up the phone and put it to his ear, then put it down after more than ten seconds. In the quiet room, Manilla could vaguely hear the reminder of the other party's phone message coming from the phone.

sound.

Two hours later.

At almost ten o'clock in the morning, Tang Ji was lying on the left side of the bed, towards the window, with his left hand behind his head and his right hand on his body. He unconsciously turned a sharp scalpel in his hand very quickly, forming a ball.

The silvery light and shadow cannot be seen clearly, and only after an occasional pause can people see clearly that it is a scalpel. Tang Ji is watching the TV, his voice is very low, and he changes the channel again and again. Almost all the TV stations are showing something else.

No signal text, or colorful stripes.

There will be some vague gunshots outside the window. This is normal in the United States where everyone has guns. Some normal people fight back against those "crazy people", but the consequences are usually tragic because there are too many "crazy people".

At the beginning, Tang Ji was interested in taking a look, but then he lost interest at all. Lying on the bed, he was waiting. If such a big thing happened, the U.S. government would always have some reaction and take measures. So far, Tang Ji

Jidu doesn't know what happened, so all he can do now is wait and won't leave his apartment.

Manila sat on the other end of the bed, put down the phone, turned around and said to Tang Ji: "No one answered!"

"Mine too." Tang Ji looked at the TV, still turning the scalpel in his hand, and said without looking back.

Tang Ji didn't know many people, most of them were his colleagues and some gangster godfathers. He had finished calling them long ago, but no one answered them.

"The following is an emergency notice..." A picture suddenly appeared on the TV. It was a black soldier, about thirty-six or seventeen years old. His military uniform had some wrinkles and a large area of ​​blood. This was from the military.

Television signals are usually used during wartime.

Tang Ji sat up straight and put the scalpel on the bedside table. Manila also raised her head suddenly and turned to look at the TV.

"I am Captain Tracy Mai of the Everett Naval Base in Washington State. Unfortunately... I want to inform everyone that due to the spread of an unknown virus around the world, according to satellite cloud images, the world was in a state of emergency on the morning of May 20, 2015, Washington time.

At 6:58, a large-scale epidemic broke out at the same time. Humans infected by the virus will die first, and then be resurrected and become mindless and extremely aggressive. They will attack all animals, including humans, and they crave flesh and blood..."

"This virus is extremely contagious and can be spread through saliva and blood. Normal humans bitten by an infected person will become infected within ten minutes to six hours. Preliminary estimates are that 100% of the world's

Seventy percent of the population has been infected by the virus in the air. They are no longer human, or... we can call them zombies. When you encounter zombies, please try to avoid them or shoot them. Zombie bodies are not afraid of harm and are the only fatal ones.

The wounds are on their heads. Please don't be merciful. They may have been your friends, your relatives, and your division commanders before, but they will no longer be when they are infected. They are zombies. Please kill them." Black soldiers.

He seemed a little tired. Three hours had passed since the outbreak of the epidemic. You can imagine what he had gone through in these three hours.

After the black soldier finished speaking, the TV screen suddenly turned and faced another direction. A middle-aged woman about forty years old wearing a white coat appeared in the camera with information in her hand. She touched her eyes and raised her head.

He said to the camera: "The virus test results show that the virus is spread in the body in a similar way to snake venom. If the person who is bitten quickly removes the body tissue near the wound, there is a certain chance of preventing the spread of the virus in the body. Once the infected person is infected by the virus,

If it invades the central nervous system, it will cause death within ten minutes to six hours. Then the central nervous system will mutate and manipulate the body to resurrect the deceased and become a zombie."

"Preliminary analysis shows that the emergence of this virus is related to the explosion at the biological laboratory of Hopkins University in Maryland fifteen days ago. In the early stages of the outbreak, ordinary people who have not turned into zombies have already produced antibodies in their bodies and will not be affected by the virus in the air.

of infection.

"Currently, the national administrative machinery has been completely paralyzed. This epidemic has affected all mankind. I received the news half an hour ago that Mr. President died in the White House office at 9 a.m. The United States can officially declare a state of anarchy. Please survivors do not wait for the government

Organization and military rescue, self-survival, the end of mankind has arrived, and television communications are about to be shut down. As long as we are still alive, we will use the radio to broadcast the latest news to everyone. May God bless the United States!"

"God bless America!" Many people's voices came from the TV, the screen went black, and then the words "No signal" were displayed on the TV.

The picture disappeared, but my eyes were still staring at the TV screen, and my head was empty.

He originally thought it was a large-scale terrorist attack, a biological and chemical weapon, even when he couldn't get through everyone's phone calls. He never thought about the end of the world, because it seemed impossible to him.

Unless a nuclear war breaks out.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. There are things in this world that are more terrifying than nuclear weapons. They can push all mankind to the brink of death. Without government arrangements and military fire support, no matter what identity you were before the apocalypse, you will not be able to do anything after the apocalypse.

Again, these people who are still alive have only one name - survivors!

After quietly getting out of bed, Tang Ji walked to the window, opened the curtains slightly and looked outside.
Chapter completed!
