Chapter 8 Manila's Heart

The rolling shutter doors of convenience stores are of course used to prevent theft. The tin-colored ones are relatively strong, but they are still somewhat deformed by zombies beating them in a short period of time. If it continues for a while, the entire rolling shutter door will definitely be broken.

Fortunately, zombies don't have high IQs, and their memory is not very high. After slapping the rolling shutter door for two minutes, they stopped. They seemed to have forgotten the purpose of slapping the rolling shutter door in the first place, and naturally they did not remember that a human got in just two minutes ago.

Tang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and kept squatting on the ground motionless for two minutes. His legs were slightly numb, and his eyes suddenly rushed from the light into the darkness. Even if there was a subtle light source, he would not be able to see clearly. But after a long time, his eyes would

Being able to adapt to the dark, Tang Ji can already see roughly the scene in the convenience store in the haze.

The entire convenience store is less than fifty square meters, has no back door, and has three rows of shelves. Except for the wall near the door, the other three walls also have some products hanging on the wall, including some children's toys, some daily necessities, and some prices.

The kitchenware is very cheap, and the various products on the shelves are arranged very neatly. Most of them are food. The cashier is on the right side of the roller shutter door. There is also a poster of the latest "Coca-Cola" hanging on the counter. The whole place is convenient.

The store is very clean and has not suffered any damage.

Tang Ji gently pulled Manila, who was afraid to move, and stood up to stretch her legs and feet.

"Follow me!" Tang Ji lowered his voice to the lowest level and took Manilla to the back of the convenience store before he dared to speak in a slightly louder voice, "There are cheap travel bags on the shelf over there. Put the two sets together.

It can be stronger together. There is food on the shelf. Try to find food that has a long shelf life and put it in it... If you like, you can take whatever you like. Just remember one thing, don't make too much noise. It's very dark here.

Be careful."

Manila nodded. In the darkness, her eyes were sensitive to light sources and reflected some light, making them look much brighter.

After Tang Ji finished speaking, he turned around and walked elsewhere. Manilla hesitated and suddenly pulled Tang Ji.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ji turned around and asked.

"Thank you!" Manila whispered, as if thanking Tang Ji for saving her just now.

Tang Ji smiled strangely and said nothing. This smile could be understood as helplessness or distress. It was too dark for Manilla to see clearly. Tang Ji was about to leave again, but Manilla held him back again.

"What's wrong?" Tang Ji frowned slightly, he hated troublesome women.

"You... you... I mean you..." Manila was very hesitant, but as if she had to ask something, she took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, looking at Tang Ji's eyes in the darkness, she said quickly and seriously:

"Did you already plan to give up on me when you just ran out? I can help you attract the attention of the zombies, so that you can leave more calmly, but then...you..." Manilla said with a smile.

"This is not funny." Tang Ji interrupted her.

"I'm not..." Manila seemed to feel that she had said something wrong and wanted to defend herself.

"Remember, I didn't intend to take you with me. I only said you can follow me, understand?" Tang Ji raised his finger and pointed at the tip of Manila's nose, staring into her eyes, and said in a stiff tone: "Will you follow me?

It was your choice. I saved you later because I was still a human being and I couldn't watch you die in front of me. That's all. I may not be a good person, but my heart is not as dirty as you think." Tang Ji said.

He turned around and walked to the area of ​​the convenience store where cheap kitchenware and daily necessities were stored, without even looking at Manilla.

In the darkness, Manilla stared blankly at Tang Ji's back, squatted down and hugged her legs, a little lost in thought. She always thought that she was a charming woman, and every man who saw her wanted to

There is no shame in going to bed with her. A woman's charm depends entirely on a man's attitude towards her. In recent days, she has found that her charm has failed. This mixed-race man who looks several years older than him does not seem to be interested.

You will be conquered by your own charm.

In the same bookstore, a book describing women's psychology may have a thousand pages, while a book describing men's psychology may have only a hundred pages. The former may be just a compressed version, while the latter may be an expanded version. Women's hearts are the most elusive.

, there is a limit to a person's tolerance for others, Manilla suddenly found that she seemed to dislike Tang Ji suddenly, which contained some elements of shame and embarrassment.

Because Tang Ji always makes her a little embarrassed.

After being lost in thought for a while, she stood up silently. Manila walked to the side and pulled down two cheap travel bags from the wall, put them together as Tang Ji said, and then walked past the three rows of shelves in the center.

She stuffed the packaged food on the shelf into the travel bag without even looking at it. She filled the long and small travel bag half full, weighing about ten kilograms. Manila carried the travel bag to the checkout.

Near the stage, I picked up chewing gum, cigarettes, chocolates and many other gadgets and put them in my travel bag.

After bypassing the checkout counter and reaching the back of the checkout area, Manila knelt down and rummaged around. She was looking for a gun. Convenience stores usually have guns. It is legal to hold a gun, but I don’t know if the store owner will take the gun at night.

go back.

After searching for a while, Manilla didn't find what she wanted. A look of disappointment flashed across her brows, and she opened the cashier drawer.

jingle!

There was a crisp sound, which was still harsh in the quiet convenience store. Manila's movements froze, and Tangji's movements on the other side of the convenience store also froze. There was a moment of silence. After about a minute, there were no zombies.

After knocking on the door, the two of them started working again.

Manila lowered her head and looked at the change placed in the small compartments in the drawer. It was not much, and the total might only be a hundred dollars. It should be that the shop owner left the change for the next day's business, and took away all the business income from the previous day.

.

money!

In the past, Manila had sold her body again and again for men to play with, but now, faced with the money that was easily available, Manila did not take it. Money has no value at all in the end of the world. Looking at the money, Manila

I don't know whether I should laugh or cry... Some things are better if you think about them for a while, but thinking about them too much will only make you sad.

After packing everything, Manila hung the travel bag on her shoulder and walked to Tang Ji on the other side of the convenience store.

"What is that?" Manilla asked in a low voice, her tone seemed to be much calmer, even with some slight dissatisfaction, and she didn't know what she was dissatisfied with.

Tang Ji put down the pliers on his right hand, turned the thing in his left hand, and said: "Spear!"

Of course, there can't be a spear in a convenience store. What Tang Ji said is that he made an object similar to a spear using the things available in the convenience store. To put it simply, it was a hollow stainless steel mop rod and added

Take a kitchen and vegetable knife that is similar in shape to a dagger, and use iron wire to tie the two together to create a crude device. Although it looks a little ridiculous, its lethality cannot be ignored.

There were more zombies, and long-handled weapons were more conducive to self-defense. Tang Ji was busy making this thing for a while, and made two weapons in total.

"This is yours!" Tang Ji handed a "spear" to Manila.

"What are you going to do?" Manila asked in a low voice. Since the stainless steel pipe is hollow and not heavy, Manila can carry it with one hand.

"Give me the bag!" Tang Ji stood up with the "spear", took the light travel bag from Manila's hand, and hung it on his shoulder. Tang Ji said: "Leave here right away. Before I came in just now,

Pay attention to the outside. The number of zombies has been reduced a lot. Most of the zombies have been led to another street. I plan to go to the north of Oak Street and turn left at the intersection into Vigo Street. There is a parking lot there. Find a car.

A car that can drive away and get out of here."

"It's nearly a kilometer from here to that parking lot, and it's just this?" Manila shook the "spear" in her hand and frowned: "We can definitely stay here, the food here can be eaten a lot.

There is absolutely no need to take risks for a long time.”

"There is no residential area on Vigo Street. The car just turned into Oak Street from that road. It did not bring many zombies, which means there are not many zombies on that street... I will definitely not stay here.

, you can stay here, I must leave." Tang Ji said, his plan was not so urgent at first, but when he deduced that there were very few zombies on Vigo Street, he changed his mind. That was an opportunity.

That parking lot is the closest parking lot to him nearby. Running there when there are few zombies is the right choice. Taking risks is necessary, otherwise zombies may gather around here for some reason as time goes by.

Tang Jifei must be trapped and die here.

After Tang Ji finished speaking, he walked to the rolling shutter door. The rolling shutter door was slightly deformed by the zombies, and was concave into the convenience store. Some gaps were exposed at the edge, less than a centimeter, but it was enough for Tang Ji to see the joy outside near the rolling shutter door.

Manila looked at Tang Ji's back with a spear, and she had the urge to stab Tang Ji to death. What Tang Ji said was so irritating. What do you mean you can stay here? What is a woman doing here? Waiting to die.

?

Tang Ji observed the outside through the gap. There were four or five zombies gathered at the door, wandering unconsciously. Tang Ji took a deep breath, squatted down and put the spear on the ground. He held the gun in his right hand, and then grabbed the rolling shutter door with his left hand.

For the handle below, stand up suddenly and pull upward with force.

Stab!

The rolling shutter door made a heart-wrenching friction sound due to its deformation, and it was not easy to pull it up, but Tang Ji quickly opened it and opened it more than half a meter high, allowing sunlight to shine into the convenience store.

Tang Ji quickly squatted down, picked up the spear, ducked out, and with a few puffs of gunshots, he blew the heads of the zombies closest to him and ran away to the north.

Manilla has two choices at this time. One is to close the rolling shutter door. Because of Tangji's attraction, the zombies will not cause trouble for her. She can live in the convenience store for a period of time safely. The other is to follow.

Tang Ji, go to the parking lot with him to find a vehicle, and then leave New York, a bustling city with a large population. Of course, you may also die on the road.

Manila only hesitated for a moment, and then rushed out with Tang Ji at her waist.

The short period of comfort is doomed to death soon. If Manilla doesn't want to stay here alone, it is almost destined that she will be eaten by zombies soon. The city of New York represents prosperity before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse it will

It is much more dangerous than most other areas in the United States, because the population here is too large, which means there are many zombies. It is conceivable that when the apocalypse breaks out, the proportion of surviving humans in the countryside will definitely be higher than in the big cities.

There was still that disgusting smell in the street, and Manilla wrinkled her nose in discomfort. She was healthy and uninjured, and could keep up with Tang Ji's pace in a short time.

The zombies were roaring and roaring. The sudden appearance of Tangji and Manila was like a magnet, attracting many zombies to come closer to them. Their ferocious faces had blood-red eyes, and their wrinkled clothes were covered with bright red or already dead hair.

The dried blood stains, their skin has turned slightly blue-gray, and the blood vessels protrude on the body surface like black lines. It can be seen that the virus not only poisoned them to death and resurrected them, but also caused them to undergo certain mutations.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!…

Tang Ji's pistol with a silencer was quickly empty of bullets. He threw the pistol out and hit a zombie in the head. Then he held the spear with both hands and slashed at the zombie's head in front of him.

And go.

Phew!

The zombie was immediately cut off half of its head, and blood and stiffness spurted out. Tang Ji's body was stained with a lot of blood. Tang Ji moved the spear in his hand horizontally, pushed the zombie towards his body, and pushed it out.

Keep running forward.

Behind him, Manila followed closely, panting heavily, and from time to time she could play her role. The spear in her hand was not a decoration. For zombies who didn't know how to dodge, the killing effect was very obvious.

Manila also sprayed a lot of blood on her body, even some on her face. She pursed her lips tightly and breathed quickly through her nose, for fear that she would eat the zombie's blood and turn into a zombie.

There are really not many zombies on this road at this time, and they are not as fast as humans, so they cannot form an encirclement. It seems that Tangji and Manilla are very likely to run out of this street.

At this time, Tangji was still about three hundred meters away from the intersection.

At the other end of Oak Street, a Ford commercial vehicle came out of the intersection and ran towards Tang Ji. It was the same vehicle that drove past not long ago.

"Oh, damn!" Tang Ji turned around suddenly and shouted.
Chapter completed!
