Just after taking a shower, Miao Li returned to the room with a bath towel around her head and heard her cell phone ringing. She took a close look at the caller ID and clicked on the speakerphone, "Nini, what's the matter?"
"Hey, you finally listened to the phone, you scared me to death."
"What's the matter?" Miao Li was confused and said while drying her hair with a hair dryer, "I didn't hear you taking a shower. What's going on?"
"I thought you were still outside! I'm scared to death. It's a mess outside now. I heard they said there were police everywhere, the city was closed, and even the army came out..."
"Hey, it's not that exaggerated."
"Really, look at the posts in the group. There are rumors of terrorist attacks everywhere right now. The school just sent out a message saying you are not allowed to go out."
"Really? I was fine when I came back. How could it be that serious?"
Miao Li was doubtful. From the time she got off work to the time she got home, she ate some late-night snacks with her parents and chatted for a while. It was only more than an hour apart now. How big of a deal could it be?
"Anyway, just pay attention to safety. Remember to lock the doors and windows at night and don't go out."
"Hey, where can I go in the middle of the night?" Miao Li tilted her head and blew her hair, wondering whether to laugh or cry, "But thank you for making you worry about me so late at night. You are indeed my good sister."
"You don't need to thank me. As long as you're fine, I'll continue watching the live broadcast."
"Hey, do you still watch live broadcasts? Watch handsome guys?"
"What a handsome guy, there are a lot of people live broadcasting the situation in the city. It's so lively, don't talk about it, I'm going."
"Hey, you..."
Miao Li wanted to make a joke, but the person on the other side had already hung up. She smiled bitterly, said "Shi Nizi", then turned off the hair dryer and combed her hair a few times... After a pause, she
Holding the comb, she stayed still for a second or two, looked at her phone, and showed some hesitation. She should be fine, right? After combing her hair, she put on her pajamas, got into bed and got under the quilt. She clicked on her phone a few times, hesitating.
Again and again, in the end I just @ everyone in the group and sent the sentence "Everyone, please be safe".
"well--"
She sighed and found it funny as she watched Wang Shu, Zhang Ni, Luo Yongliang, Lin Lin, etc. reply one after another. They were all night owls.
Afterwards, she scrolled up unread messages for a while out of boredom. After a while, her face became more and more solemn, and finally she could no longer remain calm.
"This is Team 6, starting the rescue operation now."
In the villa, after receiving the order from the command vehicle, the team leader waved his hand and left one team member to guard the door. He quietly pushed open the safety door with the other two and sneaked into the lobby cautiously.
"28, determine whether the target is alive."
"yes."
Under the cover of the team leader, one of them slowly approached a target on the edge with a gun raised. This was a middle-aged uncle. Except for the many cuts on his clothes and a small amount of blood, he looked nothing special;
His eyes were lowered and his expression was very quiet, as if he had fallen asleep while standing. Special police officer No. 28 tightened his nerves and scanned him from feet to head with the scanner on his head. Then he became a little confused and looked back.
The leader behind him lowered his voice, "Boss, my glasses may be broken..."
"What?"
"It shows that his body temperature is only 16.8 degrees and his heart rate is 18..."
"Did you sweep the table?"
"There is no heart rate on the table..."
"Look at the one next to you."
"Uh, body temperature is 16.6, heart rate is 19..."
"What about that one?"
"16.6,16..."
"Are you so 6?" The leader's head was pounding and he simply stopped thinking about it. "Ignore it, you are still alive, right?"
"Yes, it should be, right?"
"Then take them out first, giving priority to the elderly and women."
"yes."
Number 28 put the gun behind his back, picked a suitable target at random, and picked it up. It felt like holding a stiff corpse, and he couldn't help but say, "Fuck".
"Hurry up!"
The team leader waved his hands to urge, and at the same time called the command vehicle, "Command, call the command, this is the sixth team, the hostage transfer is now starting, please do a good job in the response, repeat..."
Boom.
Suddenly a bell rang.
As soon as the leader stopped speaking, he raised his head. The sudden sound of the bell was flat and muffled. It was completely different from the sound of ordinary bell ringing. It made people feel uncomfortable listening to it.
After a while, there was another 'dong' sound, both urgent and short.
"what?"
"It's none of your business, hurry up!"
"yes."
"49 is on standby. 61 is coming in to help transfer the hostages. I'll take care of the people outside..." The team leader took the person from 28. Although he was mentally prepared, he felt the cold
He still shuddered at the cold touch. However, after all, he had undergone rigorous training, and he barely paused, "Quick, next one."
"yes……"
"Boss, boss..." The voice of 49, who was in charge of the alert, stammered.
"Um?"
"Team, captain..."
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
The team leader got a little angry. He turned around and glared, then froze again.
At some point, the postures of the dozen or so 'hostages' who had been stationary changed. At this time, they twisted their necks strangely and turned around, staring at them in the darkness with their blood-red eyes. There was no trace of them.
There was no sound or movement, it was so silent, but it was even more suffocating and creepy.
Drop, drop...
On the screen of the head-mounted display, the scanned numbers rise rapidly like a stopwatch, and the infrared thermal image gradually turns yellow, orange, and red...
"Gu——"
Hearing the sound, the leader's face twitched. He turned his head little by little and looked at the old woman he was holding. The latter stared at him with a pair of enchanting red eyes, her mouth grinning and dripping with mucus.
Ou,f**k.
The team leader forced out a smile, "Hey, fellow..."
"Wow——"
"Ahhhh——"
Suddenly, the entire villa shook.
Finally started?
Zang Wuyang listened to the movement below and didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. However, no matter whether he was happy or sad, he had no choice, because at this moment, he had no time to separate himself.
"Old guy, you are so generous..."
Talking to himself, he smiled bitterly.
In front of him, dozens of zombies were scattered scatteredly, blocking the only way to go upstairs. They occupied the entrance and exit of the corridor, and guarded the elevator and stairwell.
"Ah--"
The leader, 'Yu Donglai', bared his teeth. Part of the skin on his face had fallen off, and the muscles were squeezed out, red and yellow, looking like a smile but not a smile, which made people shudder.
"Hey, wouldn't it be nice for the dead to just die in peace?"
Zang Wuyang waved his hand and nodded slightly, "Forget it, since I have been cremating your grandfather for thirty years, I will give you a cremation today and send you to the west for free. Well, remember to give it a thumbs up."
