"Recently, most parts of the northern part of country Z have entered into blizzard weather ahead of schedule, please take precautions against the cold..."

"A major discovery has been made recently in the archaeological field of country a. There are cultural relics in the pyramid that do not match the civilization of the same period. At present, scientists have extracted a substance that has never been discovered before. For details, please watch tonight's..."

"The reporter learned from major hospitals recently that the number of influenza patients in our city has increased significantly recently. During autumn and winter, influenza is prevalent. Here, I would like to remind viewers and friends in front of the TV to keep warm and try not to go to crowded places. go……"

At three o'clock in the night, Pei Xiaoyue changed the channel boredly. It was rare that she couldn't fall asleep so late after a normal schedule. She tossed and turned on the bed, and for some reason, she felt flustered for no reason.

Pei Xiaoyue is a native of the capital city. She has never missed a step since she was a child. She is sensible and polite. Her parents died young, but she still has an uncle, aunt and a good friend. As the saying goes, people are divided into groups. Whether they are relatives or friends, Pei Xiaoyue They all have the same personality as her, peaceful and casual, and rarely argue with others.

The only fly in the ointment is that her legs and feet are not good. She usually has no problem walking, but she can't run faster. In addition, her facial features are ordinary and her abilities are average. Naturally, it is difficult for her to get along in society, so after graduation, she simply continued to use that time. As a small bookstore, she can't make a lot of money and can't starve to death. Pei Xiaoyue has no ambitions, and thinks this kind of life is pretty good. Day after day, she leads a regular and peaceful life.

However, since her small bookstore recruited a clerk like Zhou Chen, the monotonous life has also experienced some small disturbances.

As a native of the capital, Pei Xiaoyue's knowledge can't be considered narrow, but it was the first time she saw a person like Zhou Chen with perfect appearance and extraordinary conversation, and he couldn't even compare with those celebrities.The most important thing is that since Zhou Chen settled in, the originally remote bookstore has gradually become a hot place. Not to mention that the income has doubled, Pei Xiaoyue can still be listed on the gossip board of a very popular forum, such as "Top Ten Private Bookstores in Beijing" Must go to play place" post, see the name of his bookstore, of course, the reason is Zhou Chen.

From Pei Xiaoyue's point of view, Zhou Chen was still somewhat mysterious.

For example, Pei Xiaoyue couldn't figure out what would be wrong with someone as outstanding as Zhou Chen. He had to work as a clerk in a small bookstore. With his appearance, even if he went to the entertainment industry, many people would want to be popular he.

For another example, all the people who come to Bei Piao have full of longing and plans for the future. Although Zhou Chen can speak Mandarin with a perfect accent, he is obviously not a native of the capital, and he is still willing to live in a small town. The bookstore "doesn't seek to make progress", and I don't know what he thinks.

So Pei Xiaoyue speculated that Zhou Chen might have been taken care of by a rich woman.

I have to say, to some extent, she got the truth.

Speculation is speculation, there is no real evidence, and Pei Xiaoyue is very self-aware. Although she loses her mind every time she looks at Zhou Chen, she has never had a daydream about falling in love with a handsome guy, so as time goes on, the relationship between the two is unexpectedly Not bad, in Pei Xiaoyue's eyes, Zhou Chen has become more and more secretive. ——He seems to know a lot of things, but he seems to know nothing about a lot of things. He occasionally puts on airs, and he is indifferent to the customers who buy books in the bookstore, but Pei Xiaoyue actually has a kind of "this is normal too." "a feeling of.

At this moment, she couldn't sleep a little bit, so she inevitably dug out what Zhou Chen said to her before the bookstore closed today, and wentssip about Zhou Chen by the way.

What Zhou Chen said was: Don't go out these few days if you have nothing to do, stock up on more food.

What's the meaning?Pei Xiaoyue thought about it several times, but she could only think about the bad weather and the inconvenience of going out, but listening to his tone of voice, it seemed that it was not that simple.

Could it be that the rich woman who raised Zhou Chen was an official in the system and knew some inside information?

Suddenly, a scream came from outside, startling Pei Xiaoyue who was thinking about something.

The screaming dragged on for a long time, and finally stopped abruptly.

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, when everything is still, there is such a sound, the effect is amazing, and it is inevitable that people will immediately rely on things like murder.

At the foot of the emperor, the law and order has always been good, and this community is known as a safe model community, and nothing has ever happened.

Unable to fall asleep, she simply got up, put on her coat, and ran to the balcony to look around.

There was nothing but the dim street lights downstairs.

But the sound did not come from downstairs, but from a little further away.

She looked at the place where she screamed just now, only to see a dark, gloomy winter night.

Being disturbed by this, Pei Xiaoyue couldn't sleep even more. She remembered Zhou Chen's words about hoarding food. She really didn't have much food left at home. Tomorrow, she would go to Ni Shanshan's house to play and buy some food and oil by the way.

Anyway, she had nothing to do, and the TV programs were rebroadcast during the day, so she simply got dressed and turned on the computer to surf the Internet.

电脑上的时间显示20x2年12月25日凌晨3点十五分。

It’s almost New Year’s Day, and there are many advertisements and posts on the Internet discussing the veracity of the doomsday prophecy. Many people say that three days have passed since the so-called doomsday, which proves that the prophecy is false. Some people say, say The indeterminate doomsday is not a natural disaster, but zombies. It takes time for zombies to spread. Now the news is just blocked, and it has not spread. Some people say that the doomsday is not the day that the Mayan prophecy said. According to the Chinese "Tui Bei Tu" Judging by the time, it will take at least another hundred years.

There were different opinions, Pei Xiaoyue found it very interesting, and joined the discussion by following the thread.

As soon as she pressed the Enter key, there was another series of crazy dog ​​barks, and she was startled, she clicked the wrong mouse, and the written reply disappeared.

She ran to the balcony to look again. The lights of every house in the community were dark, and no one ran out to watch the excitement like she did.

Maybe everyone slept soundly, and dogs barking in the middle of the night are also common, but Pei Xiaoyue felt inexplicably uneasy. She picked up her mobile phone and wanted to call her friend Ni Shanshan, but she felt that she was disturbing her in the middle of the night because of such a trivial matter. Sleeping was bad.

There are very few calls on the phone, and Zhou Chen's is under Ni Shanshan. She sent a text message to Zhou Chen by a strange coincidence: What do you mean by hoarding food during the day?

People tend to subconsciously use other things to divert their uneasy emotions. After sending this text message, Pei Xiaoyue went to the webpage again, and at this moment, the phone lit up.

Zhou Chen actually replied to her.

She picked it up and took a look.

Big things will happen in these two days, so don't go out.

Her heart that had gradually calmed down was suddenly brought up again, and she quickly sent another message: "What a big deal, don't scare me!"

I don't know why, if someone said such things to her, she might feel that the other party was playing a prank, but if the object was Zhou Chen, she would only feel flustered.

Zhou Chen's text messages have not been answered for a long time.

Pei Xiaoyue was thinking about whether to call him to find out, when the reply came: Come over here.

Pei Xiaoyue lived upstairs from the bookstore, not far from where Zhou Chen lived, just a few steps away, she hesitated for a while, took the scarf and towel, and the key, and went downstairs.

With her appearance, compared with Zhou Chen's excellence, she doesn't have to worry about what the other party will do to her. She just still has lingering fears from the scream just now, and hurried all the way to climb up the four-square where Zhou Chen's house is located as fast as possible. building.

Before ringing the bell, the door opened.

There was no one behind the door, it seemed to open automatically, Pei Xiaoyue suddenly felt a bit chilly behind her.

"Come in." Zhou Chen's voice.

She gathered herself together, walked in, and at a glance saw a lot of K-Fries, McDonald's, Biscuits, and takeaway bags from many restaurants nearby. The air seemed to be filled with food. Yu Yun, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Although the house has two bedrooms and one living room, it is quite spacious, even bigger than Pei Xiaoyue's house.

Zhou Chen was lying on the sofa watching a TV series, Pei Xiaoyue glanced at it, and the male protagonist on it yelled at the top of his lungs: Why on earth is this!

"Brother Chen, let me come over..." Before Pei Xiaoyue finished speaking, Zhou Chen threw something over, she subconsciously caught it, and looked down, it seemed to be something like amulet.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Seeing as we are destined, this is for you. Buy more things tomorrow, don't go out."

Pei Xiaoyue was dumbfounded, Zhou Chen didn't look like he was about to go on a long trip at all, "You want to go, where are you going?"

"Looking for a wife!" Zhou Chen said naturally.

"..." Pei Xiaoyue felt that it was difficult to communicate with him with normal thinking, so she changed the subject again, "Then what is this you gave me, a talisman?"

Zhou Chen was stunned, "How can such things as amulets be compared to those made by my family's A Yin? You just wear them. With them, no monsters can get close to you."

The amount of information revealed in this sentence was a bit large, so Pei Xiaoyue had to ask, "Who is Ah Yin, that, what kind of monster, can you be more straightforward, I don't understand well..."

Zhou Chen flicked his fingers, and at that moment Pei Xiaoyue suddenly felt that this person was not the Zhou Chen she was usually familiar with.

"To put it simply in your words, there is an outbreak of an unknown virus. This virus can change your aptitude, oh, it should be called a gene. Many people cannot adapt to this change and will die of exhaustion, but the body's instincts will still Existence, after infection, it will show a strong appetite and live on blood." Zhou Chen spread his hands, "This is A Yin's explanation."

Isn't this a zombie? Pei Xiaoyue suddenly felt that her world was a bit unreal. She didn't even have time to question the authenticity of Zhou Chen's words, and immediately another question came to her mind.

"Then how do you know? Who is A Yin?"

"I have my way. A Yin is my wife, so I'm going to find her now. I will resign from tomorrow. You can deposit this month's salary into my bank card tomorrow." Zhou Chen will answer any questions. Answer, he has a good impression of this little girl. In fact, he has been in this world for a long time. People in the city are indifferent. There are not many people who are honest with people like Pei Xiaoyue. Since there is fate, Zhou Chen doesn't mind mentioning it. Click on her.

Pei Xiaoyue opened her mouth wide and said quickly, "Wait, wait, let me digest it! Is the zombie thing true? How did your wife know that she is a scientific researcher..."

Before she could ask the word that?, the sound of a police car roaring from far and near suddenly sounded from outside, followed by another man's scream. Pei Xiaoyue suddenly forgot what she wanted to ask.

Zhou Chen was still quite relaxed: "Maybe it has already started."

After that, he got up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Pei Xiaoyue asked hurriedly.

"Look at the excitement." Zhou Chen waved his hand, left her at home and went out.

Pei Xiaoyue's mind went blank, and she rationally told her that Zhou Chen might have hysterical fantasies from watching too much TV, but there was another voice deep in his mind saying that all this might be true, and she would rather believe it than believe it.

Seeing that Zhou Chen had already gone downstairs, she quickly walked a few steps to keep up. "Wait for me!"

Although the sound of the siren woke up some people, there were not many people who braved the cold wind to watch the excitement in the winter. The police seemed to have not realized the seriousness of the matter, and did not send people to guard the surrounding area. One person is staying, and he is being stuffed into a police car.

The man's face was as white as a ghost, bluish-white, his mouth was dripping with blood, his eyes were slack, he seemed to have lost his sanity, but he was still struggling with astonishing strength, the back of his head was suddenly hit by a baton, and he finally became a little more honest .

Another policeman held his arm and was taken to the 120 ambulance. Pei Xiaoyue was far away, but she had good eyesight and could still see the grim wound.

"be honest!"

"Drug addicts are so arrogant these days, it's strange, this strength is also a bit stronger..."

"Old Liu, is your wound okay? Hurry up and get bandaged at the hospital. I'll ask for leave for you at the hospital..."

Voices came from not far away, and Pei Xiaoyue thought of the comments of those zombies on the Internet, and suddenly felt that her hands and feet were a little cold.

This scene looked very ordinary. Pei Xiaoyue had never seen what happens to drug addicts when they have an attack, but she clearly saw that the person who bit someone madly just now had more than half of his eyeballs protruding, and his pupils were still red. He looked very terrible.

"Let's go." Zhou Chen said.

She consciously followed behind, all the way back upstairs, her mind still confused.

"Brother Chen, even if you stock up on food, you won't be able to eat it for a long time..." Pei Xiaoyue didn't realize that she subconsciously believed this matter, and she was already thinking of a solution.

Zhou Chen thought for a while, "If the doors and windows of your house are not reinforced, it is useless to have food."

Based on the principle of not interfering with the development of this world, it is impossible for him to give Pei Xiaoyue magic weapons such as storage rings. "Perhaps you can consider leaving here and going to the mountains. With the rune I gave you, it will be much safer."

He paused and reminded her, "You'd better make up your mind quickly, it will be too late a few days later."

Pei Xiaoyue stayed for a long time, the calmness in front of her and what she saw and heard just now made her feel conflicted, "Then where are you going?"

"X city in province s."

Half a month ago, after Zhou Yin was completely annoyed by Zhou Chen, he was tied to the balcony as a dried chicken for more than a day. The next day, Zhou Yin ran away from home and went to X City to play. By the way, he checked the source of the gray fog. And ordered Zhou Chen not to follow.

Of course, His Majesty the Demon Emperor dared not refuse to listen. After half a month of being single, when he found out that the end of the world was coming, he finally had an excuse to pat his ass and go to his relatives. It's time for a lady.

Pei Xiaoyue on the other end finally made a decision, "Brother Chen, can you bring us and my friend along?"

Her uncle's family has immigrated abroad, and it is difficult to see each other. The only thing she worries about is her good friend Ni Shanshan who works in Beijing.
