On killing the protagonist

"Really, Xiao Jiu?"

The ethereal voice entered Ye Hanjiang's ears, and a dizzying dizziness surged up instantly.

Ye Hanjiang seemed to be in the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, and like catkins fluttering in the wind, his feet were as limp as noodles.

A sense of weightlessness swept over his body in an instant, and the last thing he saw when his body fell to the ground was when Zeno suddenly opened his eyes.

It's like the crushed galaxy in the sky, so beautiful!

This was Ye Hanjiang's last thought before he fainted, and what followed was endless blackness.

A ray of light came in from the window, shining on Ye Hanjiang's eyes, he frowned uncomfortably, the bright light stimulated the subcutaneous nerves.

Ye Hanjiang in his sleep felt that the beam of light was getting smaller and smaller until it became a tiny round hole.

Suddenly, Chen Ze's face appeared in the center of the hole, like a clay puppet, slowly shattering before Ye Hanjiang's eyes.

The turbid putrid liquid slid down from the cheeks, and the whole face began to peel off from the forehead, and in just an instant, it became a cold and white skull.

The skull looked at Ye Hanjiang, opened his mouth, and remained silent.

Ye Hanjiang could tell from his mouth shape, he was saying: "Why didn't you save me? Why?"

"what!"

Ye Hanjiang suddenly opened his eyes, and straightened up from the bed. The light shining into the room stimulated his pupils, making it difficult to open his eyes. Except for the pattering rain outside the window, there was no sound in the whole world.

His back was covered with cold sweat, and he opened the window to take a few breaths of fresh air, which made his chest feel better.

"Bang!"

There was a crash sound behind him, Ye Hanjiang turned his head when he heard the movement, and Ye Qiu's delighted face came into view.

He threw the dinner plate in his hand to the bedside table, rushed over, and said with great gratitude: "Are you awake? Is there any discomfort? Is there any injury?"

Ye Hanjiang smiled when he heard him throwing a series of questions like a machine gun: "I'm fine, I'm just too tired."

He said, "By the way, didn't I fall down?"

Ye Qiuyou complained: "What are you talking about! When you fainted yesterday, you almost scared me to death. Fortunately, brother Qi was quick and caught you. Otherwise, you would have a big hole in your head!"

"Zino?" Ye Hanjiang was a little surprised, this boss is notoriously cold.

"Ok!"

It turned out that when Ye Hanjiang fainted last night, Qi Nuo's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

He stood up almost instantly, and by some unknown method, he rushed to Ye Hanjiang's side earlier than everyone else, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he caught the falling Ye Hanjiang.

Ye Hanjiang bit his lip, a little embarrassed: "I owe him another favor."

Ye Qiu said nonchalantly: "Oh, brother Qi has a big heart, he's not the kind of person who would like to reciprocate favors."

"Speaking of which, why am I here?" Ye Hanjiang scanned around and recognized that it was a room in the teacher's apartment.

"Oh, Brother Qi said you were overworked and needed a good rest, so he opened a room and carried you up."

"Where are Hu Yueshan and the others?"

"Guolin and Wang Ting went to Nanshun Sichuan Restaurant to inform them that there was no zombie attack here at night. We discussed it and decided to temporarily set up the base camp here."

With that said, Ye Qiu scooped out a spoonful of porridge from the bowl and handed it to Ye Hanjiang's mouth.

Ye Hanjiang took a sip of the porridge with his hand, and nodded to confirm their approach.

If it were him, he would also change the base camp here.

"Squeak!"

The sound of plastic packaging rubbing came from a corner of the room. Ye Qiu immediately put down the porridge bowl and pulled out the dagger, and moved slowly towards the source of the sound.

There was a clicking sound as the soles of the shoes hit the floor.

Suddenly, a gray fur mouse sprinted across the center of the room.

Ye Qiu's eyes sharpened in an instant, he threw his right hand lightly, and the dagger came out, and there was a faint sound of breaking through the air in the room.

A cold light flashed.

"Ding!"

There was a crisp crashing sound in the room, and the two of them took a closer look. Apart from the dagger, there was only half of the leftover bread on the floor.

In the end, the mouse was more skilled, leaving only the food in place, but he retreated completely.

"Little brother, are you okay?" Hu Yueshan's bold voice came from the door.

The two people in the house heard the reputation and looked, and sure enough, they saw several people from the residential building team appearing outside the door.

"It's okay, how are you?" Ye Hanjiang asked.

Hu Yueshan pointed at Wu Qing in front of him and said with a miserable smile: "What else can I do? I stayed up all night again!"

Cui Jiabao muttered: "That's right, it's not as cool as you guys, and you can still sleep peacefully!"

The others were a little embarrassed. Ye Hanjiang and the others took a big risk to rest so peacefully.

Now that he has taken advantage of this, Cui Jiabao still expresses his dissatisfaction, and immediately shut up, no one answered, and Cui Jiabao didn't say a word.

Seeing Ye Qiu pick up a dagger with bread stuck in it from the ground, Ding Huimin asked curiously, "Ye Qiu, why did you put the bread in the dagger?"

Ye Qiu pulled out the bread, threw it out of the window, and said, "I didn't insert it. A mouse ran past here just now. I wanted to catch the mouse, but I didn't know that I left his rations."

As soon as he said it, Wang Ting also seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "Speaking of mice, when I went to Nanshun Sichuan Restaurant in the morning, I also saw mice stealing canned food. Fortunately, our food is kept in the refrigerator. Otherwise, it would have been emptied by these diligent little guys!"

Ye Hanjiang frowned: "You mean, you also saw mice this morning?"

Wang Ting didn't know why, so she nodded.

When Ye Hanjiang heard this, deep thought flashed across his eyes.

Mei Xiaohui's face became paler, and she said with worry: "The place to live is settled, but we don't have much food left, and if we don't find any supplies, we're afraid we'll all die of thirst and starvation before we find any clues!"

Everyone fell silent. Indeed, food and water should be their first priority rather than going out.

Unexpectedly, Ye Hanjiang on the bed said something that surprised everyone: "Don't worry about food and water problems, I have already thought of a solution!"

Everyone looked at him in surprise, quietly waiting for his explanation.

Ye Hanjiang coughed twice: "First, when Brother Hu and I went to investigate yesterday, I ran into a wild cat and a group of crows on the street. I felt strange at that time."

Everyone else knew that he would not be aimless, so they didn't interrupt him.

He continued: "Cats and crows are nocturnal animals, and they usually don't appear easily during the day. What's more, the weather during the day here is obvious to all. Humans feel reluctant to go out with umbrellas, not to mention cats and crows. Love furry animals with wet fur!"

The rest of the people exchanged glances and thought he was right.

Ye Hanjiang continued: "Second point, there is no one in the whole city, so it's okay for the crows, but what about the cats? What do they feed on?"

Ding Huimin clapped her hands and suddenly realized: "Those mice!"

Ye Hanjiang, who was leaning on the bed, showed a gratified smile: "That's right, it's those mice, and that's why cats appear during the day!"

As he spoke, he asked another question: "So, what do those mice feed on?"

After all, without waiting for others to answer, he solved the mystery: "It is the food left by those people before!"

Wang Ting questioned: "But aren't those foods also poisonous? Why are they fine after eating them?"

Ye Hanjiang raised the corner of his mouth: "This is the key to all nocturnal animals appearing in the daytime!"

His eyes fell on Cui Jiabao: "Brother Cui once said before that he ate the food in the store just like Qu Ying, and he was unharmed, but Qu Ying died of poisoning. What went wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed, and they all remembered the nightmare last night.

Ye Hanjiang ignored the timidity and fear of others, and said, "The answer is time!"

"Time?" Ye Qiu showed a surprised expression.

Ye Hanjiang nodded: "That's right, I've been thinking about this issue since Qu Ying's death, until Wang Ting said just now that she saw mice stealing food at a Sichuan restaurant in Nanshun, which made me think about it thoroughly. The key is here."

"Everyone knows that the city changed about four years ago. During such a long period of time, if all the food is poisonous, then after we enter the city, we will never see any creatures, including small insects. ant."

"But the fact is that they survived, which means that there must be a period of time, or a part of the food, that is safe and non-toxic."

"Combined with the abnormal work and rest time of the animals we saw, and the testimony of Brother Cui, I think the food in this city should be safe and edible within a certain period of time."

Ye Qiu immediately realized: "It's raining time!"

Ye Hanjiang admired, nodded and said: "That's right! Because rainwater is also water, animals are different from humans. Humans know that rainwater is poisonous, so they won't be contaminated again, but animals can't. Their biological habits lead them to lick their hair, comb their hair, etc. Behavior, it's uncontrollable."

He smiled: "But it is precisely because of this uncontrollability that they give us hints."

With his analysis, Ye Qiu and the others went to the school supermarket and brought back a bunch of food.

Although Ye Hanjiang's analysis was very reasonable, none of these people dared to move their chopsticks when the food was actually served on the table.

Ye Hanjiang sighed, sure enough, trust is not so easy to build, he grabbed the chopsticks, and when he was about to be the first to eat crabs, he suddenly saw a hand with sharp bones appearing in front of him.

He looked up, and the opposite Zeno lowered his eyes, took a piece of luncheon meat from the plate, calmly put it in his mouth and began to chew.

Then came the second chopsticks, until he put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up silently and walked upstairs, the rest of the people seemed to come to their senses, and started to eat voraciously.

It's hard to imagine that the person who trusts me the most is actually a stranger.

The moment Ye Hanjiang picked up the chopsticks, he felt a little uneasy.

He raised his head and scanned all the people at the table as if nothing had happened, and suddenly found that one person was missing.
