The drifting city of the last days

"Brother, are you arguing?" Wu Fei wrapped himself in a down jacket, kicked his slippers and ran outside.

"No." The ashen-faced Shao Yunfan pursed his lips, resisting the urge to kick something, turned his head and sat down again.

After Wu Fei washed his face, the two people outside were still sitting dry.He looked at the people sitting on the two sofas, rolled his eyes, and sat next to Luo Zhen, "Brother Luo Zhen, you are so good at fighting, where did you learn it?"

"I was a special soldier in the United States for a while."

"Special forces?" Not only Wu Fei, but also Shao Yunfan on the opposite side looked over with wide-eyed eyes.

"Beret?" Imagining the heroic appearance of the man in military uniform and maroon beret, both of them couldn't help but show a little envy.

Luo Zhen raised the corners of his lips lightly at the two people who were in sync with each other, but didn't answer.

"Retire at such a young age?" Wu Fei asked puzzled. Last night, Shao Yunfan said that Luo Zhen was four years older than him, so he was 23 years old?

"Retired due to injury." Luo Zhen pointed to his right eye, "I almost went blind. I can no longer be a sniper."

Wu Fei's face was full of shock, and he murmured, "What a pity..."

Outside the window, day and night alternated, and the last ray of light fell on Luo Zhen's face, casting a layer of golden light on his browbones and bridge of nose. Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled lightly.

Shao Yunfan looked at him with a frown, not knowing why he felt particularly uncomfortable, opened his mouth, and finally frowned in confusion, without saying anything.

The room fell silent again.

"Let's talk about something happy, what's for dinner tonight?" Wu Fei looked at Luo Zhen, then at Shao Yunfan, and reached out to pick up the food bag on the coffee table. Everyone will be happy when they are full.

Chocolate beans, soft candies, milk-filled chocolates, shrimp crackers, grilled fish fillets, dried meat, seaweed rolls, pistachios... Wu Fei flipped through the bags one by one, his eyes narrowed into crescents with joy, Shao Yunfan picked all of them Favorite snack.Of course, Wu Fei never thought about what he didn't like to eat?

In the end, he picked out two bags of bread, two rice balls, a sandwich, and a can of luncheon meat.Shao Yunfan took fruit juice drinks and milk from another bag, and reminded him, "Send some to Sister Judy and Kaka next door, and take a look at how Brother Shen and Xiao Zhang are doing."

Wu Fei pouted, stuffed shrimp crackers and grilled fish slices under Luo Zhen's quilt, and walked out with the bag.

Luo Zhen: ……………

Shao Yunfan turned a blind eye to Wu Fei's blatant hoarding behavior, picked up the tin sheet of the canned luncheon meat and began to remove the lid.Luo Zhen took out a folding knife, and after he opened the can, he naturally received it in his hand, and cut it into long squares of uniform size.

The three of them didn't eat much at noon, and now they woke up hungry, very hungry, Wu Fei and Shao Yunfan ate hungrily, and swept away the food like a storm, but Luo Zhen only ate a sandwich and Two pieces of lunch meat.

Shao Yunfan saw that he didn't eat much, so he unpacked the chicken feet and biscuits and threw them in front of him with a "snap", his tone was full of anger, "I don't know what you're dawdling about!" With big eaters like him and Wu Fei Can you grab a meal if you are slow?

"Brother, when do you think the water outside will recede?" Wu Fei, who had nothing to do after eating and drinking, ran to the window holding a tube of chocolate candy, opened the window, and looked down with her small face pressed against the glass.It didn't know when it started to rain again outside, and the flood showed no signs of receding. The whole city seemed to be submerged in a muddy yellow ocean.

On the water directly below their window, there was a red thing sticking to the wall, floating and sinking, its size was a circle larger than a tablet computer, and the shell was covered with raised spikes, Wu Fei stared at it , It turned out to be a giant crab!

"Even if we don't retreat, there should be a rescue team tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Shao Yunfan comforted him, but he looked at Luo Zhen uncertainly, hoping to find the answer from him.

Luo Zhen nodded silently. For such a large-scale disaster, emergency rescue measures will be activated within 12 to 24 hours at the latest.72 hours after a disaster is the prime time to rescue survivors.They are just trapped in the hotel, and there is no danger at present, but many people outside are probably struggling on the verge of life and death.It will be close to 60 hours by noon the day after tomorrow, and the rescue team should have arrived by then.otherwise……

Seeing him nodding, Shao Yunfan was relieved.

The crab in the water clumsily stretches out its huge claws, persistently trying to climb up the piece of driftwood next to the wall, but because its body is too heavy, every time it climbs halfway, it will drive the wood to turn around in the water, Then "slap!" and fell into the water.Tried a few times and failed.

Hahaha!Wu Fei was amused by it, and picked two red chocolate beans whimsically and threw them into the water, trying to comfort it with food.Such a big crab must be very delicious!

"Wu Fei, close the window and be careful not to catch a cold." Shao Yunfan greeted him.

Wu Fei had no choice but to close the window reluctantly. When he finally looked down, the crab seemed to have let go of the wood.

They were not tired for the time being, and Wu Fei, who was full of energy, pestered them to chat, asking about Luo Zhen's life in the United States, and unscrupulously broke the news about Shao Yunfan's training life.Shao Yunfan was so angry that he wanted to pinch his face several times, how could he tell the annoying guy opposite him about his embarrassment?Who are you?The three chatted "happily" until nearly eleven o'clock before going to bed.

Silent all night.

After getting up the next day, Shao Yunfan, who had just washed up, wrapped his coat and walked outside, and went straight to the window to look out.After a night of heavy rain, the water level outside rose instead of falling.In the high-rise apartment a few hundred meters away, brightly colored scarves and cloth strips were messily tied outside the windows of many balconies, and some people even put a bright red bed sheet full of roses.

"Why did they tie those things at the window?" Shao Yunfan turned his head and asked Luo Zhen. When he spoke, he found that there was already white mist around his lips, and the temperature seemed to be lower than yesterday.

Luo Zhen got up a long time ago, and is currently doing push-ups on the ground.His body stretched into a perfect straight line from his heels to his neck, and Shao Yunfan's T-shirt was a little tight on him, outlining beautiful muscle lines, like a cheetah back then, powerful and ready to go.

What is Luo Zhen's body fat percentage, 11? 10?Shao Yunfan curled his lips. He also has muscles, but they are far from the enviable perfection of Luo Zhen.

"It's probably a distress call." Luo Zhen's voice was very steady, as if he was not struggling at all.

At this time, Wu Fei also woke up. He used to cry every day when he got up, hoping to sleep on the bed until he woke up naturally. Now he can be entangled with the quilt until he is old, but he is so awake early in the morning, lying in bed tossing and turning. can't sleep.

Wu Fei brushed his teeth with a toothbrush in his mouth, and leaned over to Shao Yunfan to look down. Thousands of splashes were made by the raindrops on the muddy water surface. From time to time, there were shadows like fish passing close to the water surface, but he didn't see the fish from yesterday. Crab, he muttered, "I really want to go fishing." In order to save power, he doesn't dare to play mobile games casually now, thinking that he will have nothing to do today, and it hurts to be idle.

"Forget it." Shao Yunfan looked at someone with white bubbles in his mouth, how much does he like seafood?Don't forget this time! "If you are in a hurry, go practice solo. After the Chinese New Year, you will be at the concert in a blink of an eye. Practice as early as possible."

Wu Fei curled his lips when he heard this, and after a while, his eyes lit up, he turned around and ran to Luo Zhen holding his toothbrush, "Brother, can you teach me how to fight?"

Luo Zhen glanced at him indifferently, "Do you really want to learn?"

Wu Fei nodded vigorously with his toothbrush in his mouth.

"Okay, I will teach you this afternoon."

At nine o'clock sharp, Manager Xu and the hotel staff brought them six bottles of water, twelve packs of biscuits, and three vacuum-packed tea eggs to their room according to the number of people. Everyone looked much better today than yesterday. I got a sense of security.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the next door to see Shen Nan and Xiao Zhang. Judy said worriedly that Shen Nan woke up twice, and she fed him some biscuit and water batter, and took anti-fever medicine again, but Xiao Zhang was always lethargic.Kaka went to see Manager Xu and invited a surgeon who was on vacation among the residents.It's a pity that there is no equipment and medicine, and it is not his field of expertise. The doctor is also helpless for this unexplained high fever.Just tell her that she can try to help the patient physically dissipate heat by wiping.

In the afternoon, seeing Wu Fei squatting on the edge of the sofa and striding forward with his fair face, Shao Yunfan suddenly understood the meaning of Ms. Luo's phrase "wasting your extra energy, so as not to be mischievous".Luo Zhen is clearly doing the same thing now!

At 05:30, Wu Fei, who was full and holding chocolate candies, saw the giant red-shelled crab under the window again. He opened the window, and stretched out his hand to greet the crab in a decent way, but he was YY in his heart. Drooling while holding someone else's huge crab claws and eating it fiercely.Shao Yunfan was bored looking through the introduction of the hotel, while Luo Zhen was resting with his eyes closed.

"Yunfan! Xiaofei!" There was a sudden knock on the door.

Wu Fei was so startled that his hands shook, and four or five pieces of chocolate candy in his hand crackled and fell to the surface of the water like raindrops, hitting the side of the giant crab.Wu Fei looked at the surface of the water with distressed eyes, curled his lips, and put the chocolate candy back into his pocket.Such a waste!He's down to two barrels now.

Kaka?Shao Yunfan walked over to open the door.

"Come and take a look, Xiao Zhang seems to be dying!" Kaka's voice was a little flustered.

Shao Yunfan ran towards his original room.

"Let's go together." Luo Zhen supported him with one hand, directly crossed the sofa, and followed behind him.Wu Fei, with sore legs, looked at the sofa, and finally walked around it wisely, and ran behind with his mouth open.

People in a few rooms next door heard the movement, opened the door and looked at it strangely, then retracted without thinking about it.

The three followed Kaka to Shao Yunfan's original room, Shen Nan slept peacefully, but Xiao Zhang's face was pale. Judy's face was pale with fright, but Qi Liang was checking Xiao Zhang's breath with his hands calmly.

"I only slept for about two hours. Before I went to bed, I helped the two of them wipe their foreheads. They were fine at that time." Judy bit her lips guiltily and explained to everyone.

Qi Liang shook his head, "He's dead."

"No way?" Kaka grabbed his hand and pressed on Xiao Zhang's wrist without giving up. "You try to check the pulse again?" Dead?How can it be?

Qi Liang blinked, "Why don't you ask a doctor to confirm?"

Shao Yunfan and Wu Fei stood in front of the bed, dumbfounded.

died?

It's all right, but died after sleeping for a day with a fever?

Luo Zhen stretched out two fingers and probed the side of Xiao Zhang's neck. Not only did he not have a heartbeat, but his body had also suffered from hypothermia, and it was definitely hopeless.

"I'm going to find a doctor!" Shao Yunfan turned and ran out the door.Maybe the doctor has something else to do!

"I'll go with you." Just as Kaka was about to chase after her, Luo Zhen pressed her shoulder, "I'll go."

Luo Zhen rushed to the door in three steps, Kaka weighed the difference in walking between himself and Luo Zhen, and stopped tactfully.Long legs or something, really hurt people's self-esteem.

The duty room on the [-]th floor was surrounded by a lot of agitated residents, clamoring for a doctor. Obviously, there were a lot of people with problems.Manager Xu was struggling to appease everyone, "Don't worry, register the room number and status first, and I will definitely ask the doctor to come over later." Shao Yunfan was standing around in a hurry, and Luo Zhen pressed his shoulders and took him to register. .

When they went back, it was dark and the room was silent. Judy, Wu Fei and Kaka were sitting side by side on the sofa covered with quilts. Qi Liang was sitting by the bed, calmly looking at the phone timer and putting his hand on Shen Nan's wrist. Count your pulse.

It was already an hour later when the surgeon came to their room again.The dark interior can only be illuminated by the emergency lights in the hands of the waiters and their mobile phones.

The middle-aged man with white-rimmed glasses shook his head, and the word "Chuan" floated between his brows, "The one next to him just has a normal fever, and there is nothing serious about it, but this one has already... You should carry him to the tenth floor as soon as possible." Arrangement, I discussed it with Manager Xu, and for the time being, we also recommend it to people who are in the same situation as him."

"Put it on the tenth floor?" Kaka looked at the doctor hesitantly, but it seemed inappropriate to just put Xiao Zhang's body in the room.

"It's not clear how contagious it is, and there's no effective means of protection, so I suggest you carry him there." The doctor pushed his glasses, sighed, bent towards them guiltily, and walked out wearily.This is only a temporary solution. They are currently in a special situation. In fact, the best way is to burn them with fire, but the rescue team should arrive tomorrow, and there will be a better way to deal with them, so they should be isolated first.

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows and chased after him, "I'm sorry, I want to ask, according to what you just said, are there many people in this situation?"

"Now a total of 47 people have headache and fever. Five cases are common fever and cold, and they wake up and sleep at times. The remaining 42 cases are unable to sleep due to unknown reasons. Except for seven people who are relatively stable, more than [-] people They all showed signs of heart failure, and fourteen of them, like your friends, have left first." The doctor flipped through the record sheet in his hand, shook his head regretfully, and registered with the hotel staff who accompanied him The room rushed, and the long cone-shaped light beam dangled and disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

Luo Zhen frowned. Thirty people had this symptom at the same time?There must be something wrong.Could it be an unknown virus?

Back in the house, Luo Zhen picked up Xiao Zhang's body and walked out.Kaka opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything to stop her.

"Wait." Shao Yunfan stood up abruptly, took out a cigarette and a lighter from Kaka's pocket, "I'll go with you."

"I'll go too." Kaka stood up while leaning on the armrest of the sofa.

"I'll go too." Wu Fei and Judy also stood up.

In the end, everyone followed Luo Zhen downstairs except Qi Liang who stayed behind to take care of Shen Nan.Wu Fei used his mobile phone to show Luo Zhen the path under his feet. From the 21st floor to the [-]th floor, there were only heavy breathing and footsteps, and no one spoke.

Xiao Zhang's death came too suddenly, until now, they still can't fully digest this fact.

Luo Zhen originally planned to put Xiao Zhang in the second room near the stairs. As soon as he stepped in, a small brown dog bent over and let out a vicious guttural sound of warning. The ferocious canines emitted a terrible cold light.

"It's not cute to be fierce!" Wu Fei muttered, he remembered that the puppy was very obedient the night before.With brown hair and black eyes, it looks like a toy store decoration when it is motionless.Now his temperament has changed drastically.

Shao Yunfan took a picture of the room, and couldn't help frowning. Behind the puppy was the woman who made the reception desk so loud that night. What happened, she died unexpectedly like Xiao Zhang?

"Let's go, change the room, it is also loyal, probably because it is afraid that we will disturb its owner." Kaka also recognized the puppy, patted Luo Zhen's arm, turned and walked out.

There are several fallen air-conditioning grilles in the corridor. Luo Zhen glanced at the ceiling strangely. How did it fall?

After walking through several rooms, they found an empty room and put Xiao Zhang on the bed. Shao Yunfan and Kaka lit three cigarettes for him, and silently placed them in the ashtray beside him as incense.

A person who was still alive two days ago has gone by such an accident now, and his life is so fragile.Shao Yunfan lowered his eyelids, his mood was more gloomy than the sky outside the window.

"Let's go." Luo Zhen rubbed Shao Yunfan's head, hooked his neck and walked out of the dark room first.The dead are gone, no matter what happens in the future, at least, I will be with you.

Wu Fei and Kaka followed behind them, only Judy didn't move, "Go first, I'll be right there." She nodded towards Kaka.For Xiao Zhang's death, she blamed herself very much and wanted to stay a little longer.Kaka patted her on the shoulder, "We are waiting for you at the exit of the safe passage."

Passing the previous room, Shao Yunfan glanced inside, the small black shadow was still persistently squatting beside the bed, its tail wagging slightly, expecting the hostess on the bed to wake up again.From before to now, that is its whole world.

"Ah!!!" A shrill scream came from behind them, coupled with the dark corridors and echoes, it couldn't help but make one's hair stand on end.

"Help... help..."

Shao Yunfan shuddered, it was Judy's voice!
