The drifting city of the last days

"Filled in the water? That's fish!" Fatty Zhao straightened up to answer, his thick double chin trembling.Now people can snatch it up with such fanfare, and nine out of ten are for food.He was very lucky, so far, not to mention the terrifying fish outside, he had never seen even a man-eating rat.

Shen Nan shook his head, the wind blowing into his ankles from nowhere made his feet chilly, "The fish in the water are now more ferocious than man-eating rats, and it's not easy to catch them unless they are dead fish."

"The fish has mutated too?" Wang Qi and Fatty Zhao looked at Shen Nan and Shao Yunfan in astonishment.

"Not only fish, but also birds and crabs." Shao Yunfan solemnly told them the situation of the birds attacking the apartment yesterday and being defeated by the crabs.

"So, those animals are also the same as Xiao Wang?" Fatty Zhao's tone was full of disbelief.If it was three days ago, he would definitely think that Shao Yunfan was talking nonsense.

The person who walked from the [-]th floor to the [-]th floor had already stopped. Hearing Fatty Zhao's words, he paused for a moment and walked upstairs again.

"Isn't it fish? Is it money?" Wang Qi frowned. What can attract people to fight is not food, but money.

"It's about the same as money." An unfamiliar voice came from downstairs. Everyone looked down and saw a man in a gray woolen coat walking towards the 21st floor.His left hand was in his coat pocket, and his right hand was holding a strange-looking wet white net bag, which was bulging with pink things, and water dripped down the stairs along the way.

"A few corpses floated downstairs, and they are snatching valuables from the corpses." The man stood between the 21th and [-]st floors, raised his chin and looked at the four of them, "Which one of you is surnamed Wang?" The pink thing inside is still struggling, and a few arm-like things are sticking out, and the toes are two centimeters thick.The people downstairs were still arguing, and it seemed to be getting worse.

Shao Yunfan's eyes widened. There should be an octopus or squid the size of a basketball in the net bag.According to what this man said, he was also on the ground floor just now, and he grabbed the things in his pocket from the water?This person is definitely not an ordinary person.

Standing behind Fatty Zhao, Wang Qi raised his eyebrows, "My surname is Wang."

"You have mutated too?" The man looked at him with interest, "What ability?"

Wang Qi smiled, "So you too?"

"Yes, I can release mucus." The man weighed the white net bag, a little distressed, "Can you help me kill this thing? I don't want to eat it alive."

Even if it is killed, if there is no pot or stove, should it be swallowed alive?Shao Yunfan twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking of his experience in a Japanese restaurant, such as raw octopus, the taste was too ecstasy.

Wang Qi clenched his fist, "I can only smash it to death, but then you can only eat octopus balls."

"Then can you help?" The man was a little regretful, and raised his net pocket and said towards the bottom.

Wearing a crew-cut camouflage jacket, holding two stacked cardboard boxes in his hand, and carrying a huge backpack, he stood on the stairs leading to the 21st floor from the [-]th floor. The dark light and shadow in the corridor made his thin body look Very cold and hard.Wang Qi, a man with a net bag, has a crew cut, and the three of them just formed an isosceles triangle.

Scissorhands!Shao Yunfan looked at Shen Nan nervously, and gestured two fingers at him, implying his crew-cut identity.With the three-legged confrontation right now, they are inexplicably a little nervous, won't they fight?

"Pu la la!" There was a sudden burst of strange noise downstairs.Shao Yunfan frowned, the sound was like the sound of a bird flapping its wings.

A group of gray-feathered sparrows larger than pigeons, with blood-red eyes and fierce aura, flew up the stairs like a swarm of bees.The airflow brought by the bird's wings hurts people's ears and cheeks, and the flat head standing at the bottom bears the brunt of it, and is about to be surrounded by them.

"Be careful! They eat people!" Shao Yunfan's pupils shrank sharply, and he grabbed the handrail and shouted at Pingtou anxiously, how did these birds get in?

Thinking of the person who was pecked to death by birds yesterday, Shen Nan couldn't help but stiffen all over.Fatty Zhao was so frightened by those murderous strange birds that his legs gave way and he almost fell to his knees.

Ping Tou threw the box in his hand onto the platform at the corner of the stairs, and the nails of his hands suddenly grew to more than a foot long, and the tips of the nails shone with silvery white light, as sharp as a blade.He gritted his teeth and was about to rush up to face the flock of birds, when a large white net fell in front of him, stuck between the sloping stairs and the steps and stretched quickly, stopping the strange birds.

The criss-cross sticky lines are as thick as an adult's finger, and the edges stained with transparent mucus reflect colorful luster.Dozens of strange birds crashed into the web like a whirlwind, and immediately stuck. They screamed and struggled, but like insects bumping into a spider's web, the more they flapped their wings desperately, the tighter they stuck.

The flat head stared blankly at the shaking white net that was almost stuck to the tip of his nose, and stepped back up a step.

The white net was soon covered with neighing strange birds, and the strange bird that flew up changed direction, got in from the triangle between the two stairs and the white net, and slammed fiercely at Fatty Zhao and Wang Qi who were standing closest. He and Shen Nan rushed over.

"Help!" Seeing the strange bird stretching out its eagle-like sharp claws and grabbing towards him, Fatty Zhao screamed and ran away with his head in his arms.The screams and the hiss of the strange bird echoed in the empty safe passage, and the echoes added to the mournful effect.

At the juncture of life and death, upon hearing Fatty Zhao's screams, Wang Qi also panicked, waving his arms indiscriminately, sweating profusely.After all, he is just an ordinary person. He has never encountered any mutant animals after being strengthened, and he has no experience at all.

Shao Yunfan hurriedly grabbed Shen Nan's collar and backed away, took off his coat and beat the birds.While pumping, he shouted at Wang Qi and then Fatty Zhao, "Come back, retreat into the corridor."

Wang Qi subconsciously kicked Fatty Zhao away who was rushing towards him with a bunch of strange birds, turned around and ran upstairs, but was the first to rush into the security door.Shao Yunfan looked at Fatty Zhao who fell down and couldn't help being a little stunned, Shen Nan turned around and pushed him into the corridor.When Shao Yunfan and Shen Nan retreated in, Wang Qi closed the door with a "bang".

There were about seven or eight strange birds that followed. Shao Yunfan flicked his coat left and right to confront those strange birds, and suddenly found the fire extinguisher next to him.In a flash of inspiration, he smashed the protective glass on the outside of the fire extinguisher with his elbow, pulled it out and opened it, and sprayed wildly at the birds.Seeing this, Shen Nan also grabbed another fire extinguisher.Wang Qi came back to his senses, strengthened his fist, and smashed the monster bird that fell on the carpet into a pulp.The situation changed suddenly, and those strange birds were all smashed to death by them in a blink of an eye.

Putting on his coat, Shao Yunfan rushed out of the safety door with a fire extinguisher in hand.Shen Nan didn't hold back, gritted his teeth, grabbed another fire extinguisher and followed behind him.

The battle outside is also drawing to a close.The gap in the stairwell has been blocked by a white net, and there are more than a dozen birds around Pingtou.His nails were covered with blood and feathers, and there was a cruel look in his eyes. Every time he waved his hand, two or three birds would fall to the ground.There were bloodstains and dead birds all over the stairs.Fatty Zhao's body was folded against the wall in a strange posture, and a strange bird was stuck on his body.

The flat-headed man looked at Shao Yunfan and Shen Nan who were going back and forth in surprise, but their hands didn't stop at all.Shao Yunfan and Shen Nan rushed to Fatty Zhao's side to get rid of those strange birds.It's a pity that Fatty Zhao has stopped breathing.There were wounds all over his cheeks and neck, and blood was oozing from his mouth. It was unclear whether he fell to his death or was pecked to death by those birds.

Panting heavily, Shao Yunfan sat down on the steps, looking at Fatty Zhao's body, feeling a little dazed for a while.In less than 10 minutes, one person just disappeared!

"What about the rest?" Shen Nan helped Pingtou to kill the last few birds, staring at the birds stuck to the white net, feeling rejoicing in his heart, the individual attack power of these birds is still limited, but together they are very terrifying .If it weren't for this net, they would all be bird food today.

"Wait for me to recover. Another layer of netting can almost glue them clean." The man in the woolen coat looked at his right hand.

"Your trick is really powerful!" Shao Yunfan admired sincerely, just like Spiderman.

"I had an idea just now. Fortunately, I tried to make a fishing net before." The man raised his eyebrows.

Some yellow light spots floated to Shao Yunfan's chest and disappeared suddenly.The man in the woolen coat frowned suspiciously, and said to Shao Yunfan, "Did something yellow fly towards you just now?"

Shao Yunfan shook his head subconsciously, "I didn't see it." Then he was startled, is it the same as last night?

The man stared at him for a while, but didn't notice anything unusual, "Maybe it's my eyesight."

Pingtou walked to the side, picked up the net bag that the man threw aside, and looked at the contents inside, "Do you mind chopping it up?"

In the next second, the fingernails of the five fingers of his right hand "chuckled" into the net bag and cut the octopus into pieces.A few pieces of octopus feet leaked out of the net bag and fell to the ground.

While they were playing with the octopus, Shao Yunfan took the time to pull off his collar and take a look inside. The ancient coin really gave off a faint light as if it was breathing again.Moreover, the moment he pulled off his collar, a little red light just attached to the ancient coin and melted into it.His handsome eyebrows were frowned. What he saw last night was green. Just now the man said it was yellow, but now it is red again. What are these light spots?

Pingtou pulled out a plastic bag from his carton, picked up the writhing octopus feet on the ground, then turned to the man and asked, "How about instant noodles?"

"Yes!" The man was stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of joy in his brows.

Pingtou reached out and picked up several boxes of instant noodle biscuits and mineral water from his box, stuffed them into a plastic bag, and handed them to him, "My name is Han Zheng, and I will be moving to the 21st floor today. If you need something to eat, come up and find me." .”

"Zhou Ye." The man in the woolen coat quickly returned his name. He looked around, pointed to the birds on the white net and the octopus in his hand, and said, "Why don't you take some to eat?"

The corner of Han Zheng's mouth twitched, "I don't like eating raw."

"Actually, you can roast it." Zhou Ye licked his lips, "I saw someone roasting mice yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't have a lighter." Han Zheng spread his hands, and he doesn't smoke.

"Is it really edible?" Shen Nan looked suspiciously at the birds on the ground.

Zhou Ye nodded affirmatively.

Shao Yunfan thought of the lighter in Kaka's hand, "We have the lighter, but we don't have firewood."

"Just hack the closet." Zhou Ye waved his hand knowledgeably, and looked at Shao Yunfan, Shen Nan and Han Zheng, "Then let's have a barbecue together tonight?"

Shao Yunfan: ……………

Shen Nan was a little embarrassed, and declined, "We still have four companions."

"It doesn't matter, call them all, anyway, we can't finish eating." Zhou Ye said generously.Count all the birds on the Internet, and ten people may not be able to finish them.

"Okay, two of them have gone to the seventeenth floor, I'll ask them later." Shen Nan replied.When I woke up, it seemed that the whole world had changed.Someone just died next to him, and he can still hold dinner without changing his face. Is it a bold person with high skills or is he just used to it?Even if Fatty Zhao was just a stranger, Shen Nan hadn't fully recovered from the shock, and he still suspected that those birds couldn't be eaten.But it doesn't seem good to lose the opportunity to make friends with the two enhanced people in front of him. He was in a mess, so he practiced Tai Chi habitually.

"The seventeenth floor?" Han Zheng picked up a clean place to rest on the steps full of blood and dead birds, and glanced at him, "Are you going to pay to go to the safe zone created by those people? "

"I don't know what to do, so I'll go and have a look first. After all, it's too dangerous now." Shen Nan also put down the fire extinguisher, and sat down next to Shao Yunfan, only then did he feel a little loose in his hands.Shao Yunfan leaned his head on the railing and said nothing.

"Don't go if you can, those people are in the dark." Zhou Ye, who was resting against the wall, interjected.

I don't know if it was because of being frightened, feeling ashamed, or feeling guilty towards Fatty Zhao, but Wang Qi never appeared again.

After resting, Zhou Ye put another layer of white sticky net downstairs to kill all the birds.When cleaning up those bird carcasses, they discovered that the window on the twentieth floor was opened by someone, and this innocent disaster originated from this.

Han Zheng took out the room card from Fatty Zhao's arms and put it in his pocket, then he and Zhou Ye carried the body downstairs to his original room.

For Han Zhengjiu's behavior of occupying the magpie's nest, Shao Yunfan frowned in disapproval, before he opened his mouth, Shen Nan dragged him back.Shao Yunfan twisted twice, and shut his mouth resentfully under Shen Nan's warning gaze.He really had no position to say anything, but he felt a little aggrieved inexplicably in his heart.Xiao Zhang, Judy, and Fatty Zhao are now added, and they are all gone. How many of them are there, and can they survive to wait for the rescue team?

"What's going on?" When they opened the door, Kaka and Wu Fei blocked the door with worried faces.There was so much commotion outside just now, Wu Fei tried to rush out several times, but was stopped by Kaka.

"There was an accident. I met those man-eating birds in the safe passage." Shen Nan rubbed Wu Fei's head twice with a sad face, and explained to Kaka.

"Man-eating bird?"

Shen Nan nodded, and recounted the "flying disaster" just now.While listening, Wu Fei and Kaka took cotton swabs to wipe and disinfect the wounds of Shen Nan and Shao Yunfan.

"I didn't expect that after the tsunami, it was the beginning of the disaster." Hearing Fatty Zhao's death and thinking of the two previous colleagues, Kaka shook her head and sighed. More than 100 catties have to be accounted for here. These days, I am worried and aggrieved!"

"At any time, it will not be easy to live." Shen Nan also expressed his feelings.

"Let's talk about it first. If I really leave one day, you don't have to be sad. At least you can sleep soundly." Kaka said.

"Brother, if I die, just burn it directly, just bring a handful of ashes to my elder brother. Don't put it on the tenth floor, I'm afraid of the dark." Wu Fei stopped his hands and looked up at Shao Yunfan.

"What nonsense!" Shao Yunfan punched him on the shoulder, "I won't let you die even if I die."

"Shut up both of you." Shen Nan took out the cursing posture of his manager.

"That's right, spit quickly, Tongyan Wuji." Kaka pointed at them with a cotton swab, "If you two are dead, brother Shen and I don't have to go back."

Shao Yunfan and Wu Fei flattened their mouths, and tactfully made a zipper movement on their mouths at the same time.

Shen Nan had seven or eight wounds on his forehead, the back of his neck, and his wrists, most of which were scratches, and the longest one was nearly ten centimeters.Most of Shao Yunfan's wounds were concentrated on his wrist, and there was a blood hole on his shoulder, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, almost tapered, probably pecked out by a bird.When Wu Fei smeared the iodine on it, he also grinned, "Does it hurt?"

Shao Yunfan gritted his teeth, his brows twitched and he shook his head.

Wu Fei picked up the band-aids and compared them horizontally and vertically for a long time, but they couldn't cover the bloody hole. In the end, he simply pasted two band-aids side by side for Shao Yunfan.This will definitely leave a scar!What should I do next on camera?He looked at Shao Yunfan's shoulder tangled.

"It's okay, the liquid foundation will fall off." Shao Yunfan knew what Wu Fei was worried about, and comforted him, "Anyway, I'm in charge of height, and you are in charge of handsome."

"Isn't Brother Luo both tall and handsome?" Wu Fei squatted in front of Shao Yunfan and frowned distressedly, "He's not as tall as he is, and as handsome as he is, neither of us is a match for him."

Shao Yunfan: ……………

Don't take such a long time to destroy your own prestige with other people's ambition!

It was exactly twelve o'clock when Luo Zhen and Qi Liang came back.Startled by the bird carcasses, fresh blood and strong smell of blood in the safe passage and corridor, the two rushed all the way back to the room, opened the door and found that all four of them were there, and they were relieved.

"What's going on?" Luo Zhen looked at Shao Yunfan's blood-stained wrist, and his eyebrows frowned.

Shao Yunfan flicked his wrist, and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing." Luo Zhen shifted his gaze to Shen Nan, and the stressed Shen Nan frowned helplessly, so he had to repeat the situation just now.

"Fortunately, none of you had any accidents." Qi Liang nodded, "It sounds like Zhou Ye's temperament is the best among them, and it may be a good thing for us that Han Zheng lived in 2708."

"Good thing?" Shao Yunfan shuddered after opening his mouth, goosebumps all over his body, what's going on?The temperature dropped?

"With one more enhanced person to be our neighbor, the 21st floor will be a little more safe."

"According to this, wouldn't it be better for Zhou Ye to live on the 21st floor as well?" Kaka rubbed her arms while talking, and glanced out the window.

"That's right, there are already four Enhanced Human Alliances downstairs. If the remaining three Enhanced Humans live on the 21st floor, we will be relatively safer whether we are fighting mutant animals or dealing with possible future situations." Qi Liang Feeling cold too, I crossed my arms and rubbed them back and forth on my upper arms.Wu Fei pulled a sofa cushion into his arms and kept rubbing his hands.

"When the mutated animals come, they may not come to help us." Shen Nan frowned. If Wang Qi didn't kick Fatty Zhao's foot, Fatty Zhao might not die.

"There is always a chance to help us," Qi Liang pointed downstairs, "If he lives on the twelfth floor, the chance of him coming to help us is infinitely close to zero." Chance is just a relative probability .

Shen Nan sighed and didn't speak again.People add clothes to clothes, pull blankets to pull blankets, day and night seem to be reversed, twelve o'clock in the noon, it is as cold as twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Then, Qi Liang also told the four people who stayed in the house the information he and Luo Zhen got during the trip.

Among the three enhanced people, the ones with speed variation and the ability to release poison are a couple, and they are responsible for guarding the meeting room on the seventeenth floor.They sprayed a lot of venom into the air conditioner, and then blocked it with something.It is said that mice will not come near it if they smell it.If you want to hide in the conference room for one night, each person needs to pay two days' rations or 2000 yuan in cash. If it is really not possible, you can also use things, but Boss Lei has the final say on how much it is worth.If you don’t have food, you can also buy it with him. Mineral water costs 300 yuan a bottle, instant noodles costs 500 yuan a bucket, and a pack of biscuits costs 500 yuan. Cash is also accepted.In addition to the three reinforcements, Boss Lei also assembled a guard team of about 20 people to help him notify, register and collect money, patrol, and do chores, etc. Manager Xu was also among them.Those who pass the review and join the escort team can hide in the meeting room for free at night, and get a half discount on shopping.But what the guards do is also dangerous. Yesterday and today, a member of the guards died unexpectedly.Boss Lei himself is like the King of the Mountain who occupies the mountain as the king. He asked Manager Xu to open the presidential suite on the top floor. He and another enhanced person occupy one room respectively, and the couple share one room.The last room was used as a storeroom to store the collected things. Qi Liang guessed that the food and water that had been transported away were all there.

"It's a legendary book with a huge profit, and the business is absolutely amazing!" Shao Yunfan, who was huddled in the blanket, looked at Luo Zhen in shock, 300 yuan for a bottle of mineral water?Doubled two hundred times?The price paid by the local tyrant yesterday was only twenty times that. "When the rescue team comes, they will definitely make a lot of money."

"No, they are doing business without capital." Shen Nan picked up the half-drunk mineral water on the coffee table and looked at it, "Everything belongs to the hotel. They didn't spend a penny."

"Is there no objection?" Wu Fei was stunned.Brother Shen only gave him 200 yuan in cash before boarding the plane, which is not enough to buy a bottle of mineral water now!

"Against? How do you object? You can't fight again and again, and he didn't force you to pay for it. If you have the ability, you can go to the water to find food by yourself." Qi Liang turned his head and looked at him.

Wu Fei: ……………

"Brother Shen, how much cash do we have?" Shao Yunfan rubbed his arms and asked Shen Nan.

"It should be less than five thousand." Shen Nan found his pocket and took out his wallet, usually by swiping his card, how could he bring so much cash.

"I have about two thousand and three." Kaka took out her wallet and counted it.

Qi Liang blinked, "I have 350 yuan."

"I have 1000 yuan left, and the rest is in the card." Shao Yunfan looked back at Luo Zhen, and motioned him to report his belongings.

Luo Zhen took out his wallet. There were only two scattered pink bills in it, and there were a few more light green bills. He raised his eyebrows, "Will it be US dollars?"

Fake foreign devils!Shao Yunfan bared his teeth at Luo Zhen, a one-to-one ratio that Boss Lei would definitely want.

Shen Nan hesitated for a while, "Kaka, do you have some accessories that are more valuable?"

"Brother Shen!" Kaka stared at him, "The few items I brought this time are all out of print, and besides, Boss Lei doesn't understand, so he will lose a lot if he just gives a price."

"It seems we can't afford it." Shao Yunfan shrugged helplessly. They had no choice. With all the cash on hand, it was difficult to even pay for one night's accommodation.In this convenient era where mobile phones can be connected to the Internet for payment, once the Internet is lost, the bank accounts seem to be cleared together.

No one in the living room noticed that the white frost was gradually condensing on the glass window.
