Chapter 256 The chirping of cicadas in winter (4)

"Checking the goods, it's the three of them, right?"

Three men whose hands and feet were tied with straw ropes were thrown to the ground, and their mouths were tied with cloth strips, like pigs about to be sent to the slaughterhouse.

They were not dead yet. Although their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, they were still struggling hard.

Tang Xue looked at the three men with dull eyes, and suddenly felt like vomiting. She covered her mouth and tried not to vomit.

"Want to do it yourself? Do you want to try this?"

A scimitar was thrown in front of her. The blade was stained with water, as if it had just been polished, but she did not pick it up.

"Just leave it to you to deal with it."

"Don't worry, we won't let them die happily. It's about time you took us to that factory. While it's still dark, I want to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"Do you have a car?"

"There is a modified van parked outside."

"Let's go then, I'll take you there."

Tang Xue patted her chest, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room.

After her, a group of people entered the door with pliers, hammers, nails and other tools. Heart-rending wails came from the door. She covered her ears and quickened her pace a little.

The van was parked very close to the road. There were two rows of iron nails on both sides of the van. Someone carried an iron cage and stepped on it from the front of the van to the roof. A rope was passed through the gap between the door and the iron cage, and the cage was tied.

On the roof of the car.

"If you weren't infected, I would definitely let you join my team. Our team lacks smart people like you." The man said with a smile.

"I don't want to be like you. Let me repeat the plan again. When you get to the destination, you will put the cage at the door. I will get into the cage myself. I will cut my skin with a knife and let the blood flow out. The blood

The smell can attract living corpses that are not dormant, so you can take advantage of this time to pry open the warehouse door, find the cans, and drive away. Our deal ends here." Tang Xue said coldly.

"Understood, before we leave, we will set a fire to give you a signal. Then you can commit suicide happily. It is more comfortable to die in your own hands than to be bitten to death by those living zombies."

Tang Xue followed them into the car. She sat in the passenger seat and told them which way to go.

She recognized the surrounding roads, and before dark, the side-by-side factories appeared in her field of vision.

A wall surrounds the factory, and an old sign reads "KAKA Canned Food Co., Ltd."

Although this place is still some distance from the city center, it is already an urban area. Sluggish living corpses can be seen on the roadside, with their ankles buried in the snow, standing beside the wall like sculptures.

Not all living zombies have entered hibernation. It is not the coldest time yet, and some living zombies are still awake indoors. They heard the sound of the van and started grabbing randomly.

"This is it. You can find the warehouse on the right side of the door. Just look for it by comparing the buildings in the newspaper."

Tang Xue opened the car door and got out of the passenger car.

"Excuse me, little sister. Speaking of which, I still don't know your name. At least tell me your name. I will burn paper money for you today next year."

"It's not necessary. You are not my relative. Go and take down the iron cage. I will bleed myself. When the living corpses gather, you can go in."

The man got out of the car and directed his younger brother to take down the iron cage and place it at the entrance of the canning company.

This is an iron cage used to hold pigs. It can hold several fat and heavy pigs. It is more than enough to hold a malnourished 18-year-old girl, and there is a lot of space left for her.

The iron cage is placed against the wall, some distance from the gate.

After all, there were living zombies wandering near the gate, so the place they chose was the one with the fewest zombies nearby.

The man opened the door of the iron cage, Tang Xue got in and sat down with her back against the wall.

She took off her coat, wearing only shorts and short sleeves, and bare feet, so that her skin could be more exposed to the air and there would be more places to cut with the knife.

The corroded iron made a clicking sound as the iron cage's exit was closed. The man fastened the iron chain round and round and pressed the lock.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the unknown girl, wanting to see what her expression would be like before she died.

She didn't show her face, she just hugged her slender legs and buried her head in her knees as if she was crying.

Her long hair blocked her face and nothing could be seen clearly.

It seems that I saw it wrong. After all, he is just a child who has not had time to grow up.

The man shook his head, took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it, took a puff, and got into the car with the other boys.

They parked the car at a distance where they could see the iron cage and waited quietly without making any sound.

Everyone was waiting for the girl to raise her head, but she took out the knife and did not raise her head.

She buried her head between her knees and used a knife to cut open her thighs and calves.

She was shaking, probably really crying.

Blood flowed from the wound and slid down her skin, her pale and young skin.

The smell of blood wafted out. Human beings could not smell the smell of blood in the air, but the living corpses who smelled it all gathered together following the smell.

Gradually, many living corpses appeared around the iron cage. They surrounded the iron cage and the girl could no longer be found.

The man put out the cigarette in his hand and sent a signal to his younger brother.

All of them covered their faces with thick strips of cloth to prevent their breath from escaping. They walked along the wall. After observing for a while, they made sure that there were no moving corpses around, and then quietly got into the factory.

After entering, they turned right and found the door of the warehouse.

The door is locked, and the lock is intact, which means no one has been here, and they have found a treasure!

But even though they were ecstatic, they did not dare to make a loud noise.

In addition to living corpses, there are also some mutant monsters with strange behaviors in the city. They have only one purpose, to take food and run away, not wanting to cause additional trouble.

After taking some time, they finally pried open the warehouse door.

Inside the door is a dazzling array of cardboard boxes. The cardboard boxes are covered with dust, but they have never been opened. It's heavy to pick up a box!

They lined up to load the cartons into the van and stuffed them into the trunk and seats. They threw all the useless things out of the car and even wanted to remove the seats and fill the entire space with cartons.

They used every available space, but finally the van couldn't fit in anymore.

"Let's set fire to the house opposite the wall. It's best to burn those living corpses to death so that we can come back next time," the man said.

Night fell, but the fire burned, the fire illuminated the snow, and the flames danced, dyeing the snow red.

The man and his boys crowded together and got into the van. In order to save space, they had three people in one seat except the driver's seat.

They returned with a full load, the engine hummed, the van crashed out of the road, and left this fire-ravaged place with laughter.

As for the girl in the cage, no one cares about her.

She heard the engine starting and finally raised her head.

The firelight overflowed from the wall behind them, illuminating the ugly living corpses in front of them. The living corpses were crazy about the smell of blood. They stretched out their hands toward the gaps in the iron cage, and kept scratching with their long, green-black nails, trying to catch them.

she.

The rotten smell spread through the air. It was so cold that her whole body was frozen.

This scene was like a scene from hell. It seemed like it was really hell. She saw a ferocious ghost. She was not very conscious. It was probably because the blood supply to the brain was insufficient. She had given out too much blood. Originally,

She is a little anemic.

She curled up and huddled in the center of the iron cage, avoiding the living corpses.

She recalled many messy things, such as her mother holding her in her arms to celebrate her third birthday, her grandfather taking out a red envelope from his arms and patting her little head, and her sister holding her hand and saying don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, Xiaoxue, we will definitely survive.

Even that very annoying man seemed to have good moments. They were sitting in a hovercraft, moving forward in the vast snowfield as if flying. He put himself in the driver's seat and said, I will watch you, so don't worry.

An accident occurred.

Well, it's not all bad memories.

But since when, since when did this world become a hell?

Since when did all those who were by her side leave?

Tears flowed down her face. She closed her eyes tightly, raised her head, and pointed the knife at her throat. Her hands trembled, but she could not stab it.

She is an extremely weak person and cannot even commit suicide.

She couldn't even hold the knife anymore, and the knife suddenly fell down and collided in the iron cage, making a crisp sound.

Let's just bleed to death, she thought.

But suddenly there was a tinkling sound above the head, and then it got even louder, and loud square dance music started to play, which was a national music that was popular all over the country at that time.

She didn't know if this was an hallucination. She looked up dully and saw a guy wearing a down jacket and sunglasses waving to her, holding an old-fashioned radio in his hand.

Such a ridiculous scene, he was standing on the wall with a light behind him, like a magical creature like an angel or a god.

He turned off the radio, waved to himself, and said, "Are you okay?"

He said a few more words, during which music was played again. Tang Xue didn't hear what he said clearly. She seemed to have said "god of death" and "angel", but she could only hear his last sentence clearly.
To be continued...
