belated doomsday

Chapter 24 Book City

Ye Chengyun drove all the way north, the car was indeed much better than the three-wheeled car, at least it didn't need to blow the cold wind, at first he hardly met anyone along the way, but as he drove towards the city center, the number of people gradually increased.

Arriving at the edge of the central square in the city, the traffic jam became serious. People riding tricycles, motorbikes, and cars were all crowded together in a honeycomb. Wang Yi and Ye Chengyun caught up with this group of people later. , so it is at the end.

As soon as the traffic is blocked, the horns will come and go. The result of dozens of cars honking together is to attract a large number of zombies. Now the difference between zombies and humans is not very big, and they can only be distinguished from their awkward and stiff body language.

People who drive cars are relatively safe, at least hiding in the car will not be too dangerous for the time being, but the rest of the people are not so lucky, and surrounded by layers of traffic means that they cannot move, and many people fall. The motorcycle runs on three wheels.

At times like this, fear prevails. Although many people feel guilty about not saving their lives, they were terrified by the hideousness and bloodiness of these undead before, and they did not intend to lend a helping hand, even if the people outside the car were suffering. Begging.

A young woman in her thirties walked through the cracks of the car with difficulty, her face was covered with tears, her hair was disheveled, and she looked a bit pitiful.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore, so they opened the car safety lock to let her in. Unexpectedly, the zombies chasing her saw her enter the car and attacked the car door instead. The fragile car glass couldn't resist for a long time. After being smashed, several zombies rushed forward. Grab the door from the broken hole, pull it lightly, and it was removed. After the removed door was thrown out, it bounced several times on the roofs of several cars before landing.

The bloody scene that followed made all the people present tremble with fear, the gushing red blood dyed the car red, and the screams made all the people present want to pierce their ears, and the rest of the people did not dare to rescue the car. At the same time, they also realized how fragile the iron frame of the car is, and a sense of crisis instantly surfaced in everyone's hearts.

Excessive panic caused many people to move forward irrationally, and the traffic was completely paralyzed.

Wang Yi and Ye Chengyun waited anxiously at the back. Fortunately, they were at the back of the convoy. Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Chengyun immediately turned around and drove to a small road. Ye Chengyun delivered Malatang here before, so It is also considered easy driving.

The narrow passage barely allowed little Otto to pass through. Several times, Wang Yi felt that he was going to be stuck there by the walls on both sides, but after that, he barely wiped off a layer of exterior paint. Their hearts were in their throats. The trail is inaccessible, and Ye Chengyun also found it by taking a shortcut in the past.

The two rows of abandoned low houses on the left and right made the road look even more gloomy. During the process, an old man with gray hair appeared, hunched forward and slowly moved forward. Wang Yi called out to the old man a few times, but the old man didn't respond. He almost wanted to get off the handlebar. People shouted to drive away, but unfortunately the wall was already close to the car door, leaving no gap at all. When they got close, the old man stretched out his withered hands and scratched the front of the car fiercely. Wang Yi and Ye Chengyun came to their senses, and immediately drove over, and the wheels ran over the corpse. The ups and downs made their scalps tingle.

After passing this trail, there is another broad road ahead, Wang Yixuan's heart was relieved.

All the shops on the side of the road have closed doors, and the iron rolling doors are pulled tightly. If you can’t see the situation inside, you can’t give people a sense of security. The only thing you can see clearly is the book city in front. Undoubtedly.

There were fewer cars on the road than the previous batch, but the forward speed was still quite slow. After driving for a long time, a large number of living dead suddenly poured out in front, and many people remembered that this road is very close to the morning market, which is the population of R city. A prosperous area.

Some people saw the staggering zombies walking towards them, and decided to drive out of the encirclement. However, there were too many zombies, and several of them were directly placed under the car after being knocked down. The stacked height of several corpses exceeded Due to the height of the chassis, a large number of cars were stuck and unable to move. The swarming zombies surrounded the cars, and death was only a matter of time.

Looking at the group of people who took the lead in front, the rest did not dare to act rashly, and someone at the back turned around and drove in another direction. Wang Yi and Ye Chengyun's little Ao Tuo were squeezed in the center, unable to move at all. In the harsh weather, fine sweat dripped from the foreheads of both of them.

At this time, a big man in front quickly got out of the car, lifted a big iron rod with the thickness of an arm, and slammed it on the glass door of the bookstore. The bag in the car went into the bookstore and ran upstairs.

This behavior was like a depth charge, breaking the deadlock at once, and the people behind followed suit one after another, all rushing towards the door.

As soon as Wang Yi got out of the car, his instep was trampled on by a high heel, and he saw a woman running by like a wind. Wang Yi didn't have time to investigate this situation, but the power of a woman's high heels should not be underestimated. What's more, he was still running, Wang Yi could only hold back, gritted his teeth and ran in with a limp, Ye Chengyun saw that Wang Yi's situation was not right, so he lifted Wang Yi up, and finally got up before the zombies moved over. On the third floor of the bookstore.

Wang Yi's weight is by no means light. Ye Chengyun carried him up to the third floor in such a breath, and he was a little out of breath. After that, many people came up one after another, some of them were covered with scars and blood.

After Ye Chengyun was relieved, he looked down the stairs for a few moments, and found that the bottom was already full of zombies moving aimlessly, and people who were besieged before they could escape in time. Only a few people burst out their potential at critical moments. After breaking free from the attack of the zombies and hearing too many screams, most people were already numb, and those who were temporarily safe all looked for a place to settle down on this floor.

There are not many places to read books in the book city. Wang Yi and Ye Chengyun searched but couldn't find a place. In addition, Wang Yi's foot hurts. On the ground, it's better than sitting directly on the cold tiles.

The book city was inherently gloomy, and with the current situation, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. From time to time, someone cried out in pain. Ye Chengyun asked Wang Yi to sit down, and after taking off his shoes, he realized that Wang Yi's feet had been trampled severely. The area around the foot was red and purple, and a large area was swollen, and the already fleshy feet became more swollen.

Ye Chengyun pressed it lightly with his fingers, which immediately evoked a muffled groan from Wang Yi. Ye Chengyun didn't dare to touch it again because of his heartache. In this weather, his feet would get cold after a while when he was exposed to the air. Ye Chengyun Yun simply covered Wang Yi's feet in his arms.

The people around were crowded together in twos and threes, and family and friends checked each other's wounds. Wang Yi moved his buttocks a few times and approached Ye Chengyun softly: "Brother Yun, those injured people..." Before he could say anything After that, Ye Chengyun immediately covered Wang Yi's mouth, looked around, and said to Wang after confirming that there was no one there: "Don't mention the mutation in advance, most people in this place are hurt. If others don't believe it, there will be trouble, and we don't need to be in the limelight."

Only then did Wang Yi feel the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and sat there in a daze, but his mind kept wandering.

Although it was almost noon, the weather was even more gloomy. On a cloudy day and the indoor lights were not turned on, the light inside the book city was dim, and everyone was obviously listless.

Wang Yi took the opportunity to stuff a pile of books beside him into the space. Ye Chengyun was puzzled by Wang Yi's cunning appearance. Wang Yi explained: "It's so cold this day, maybe this book can be used for burning fire in the future." Still struggling to get the book not far away, Ye Chengyun pinched Wang Yi's face, "Just calm down for a while! You still feel uneasy with your feet like this!"

Seeing that the books next to him were almost taken away, Wang Yi naturally stretched his injured foot under Ye Chengyun's armpit to keep warm. The two of them ate breakfast in the early morning. Feeling hungry, fortunately, there are biscuits in the bag of the two of them, but they are eating dry and cold.

The smell of blood in the air would drift into the nose from time to time. The two hid in the corner and observed the situation quietly. A large number of injured people were like time bombs, which kept Wang Yi and Ye Chengyun on such a nerve.

Some people also brought some things with them when they escaped this time, but more people were unprepared. Those who were unprepared either endured hunger, or had the cheek to ask others for some. Once the zombies came, the probability of children surviving was very small. Several half-grown kids also huddled together in fright at the horror of cannibalism.

Someone suppressed the sound of sobbing in a low voice, but this sound rendered the surrounding atmosphere even more terrifying.

In the sluggish silence, the big man who came in at first suddenly hit the wooden bookshelf next to him with a stick a few times. The dull blunt sound echoed in the floor, and almost everyone looked in the direction where he was standing.

The big man cleared his throat and said: "Everyone calm down! I am a policeman! I am Liu Cheng! It is useless to cry now! We survived now! This is a good thing! We have to think about the future!"

When someone heard that it was a policeman, he immediately regained his energy, and hurriedly asked, "Comrade policeman! What is the situation now? What should we do next?" This question actually asked the hearts of many people. The situation broke everyone's assumptions about the future, and almost everything in life was reshuffled.

Liu Cheng did not answer directly, but said that everyone should be calm, as long as they work together, they can overcome difficulties together. Like ordinary people, what they need most when they are helpless is a leader. The appearance of the big man just met their hopes. Just sitting next to the big man, it seems that I can find a sense of security from it.

Wang Yi was also said to be passionate. Ye Chengyun didn't give Wang Yi a chance to be happy, and immediately poured cold water on him, "Stupid! Do you really believe him? I don't know what happened to this person, let alone that person." They are full of people who may mutate!"

Wang Yi curled his lips when he heard this, propped his hands on the ground, and slid sideways for several meters into the bookshelf, then waved to Ye Chengyun, "Why are you sitting there when you have nothing to do?"

"You still say I'm stupid! Now that most of the people have passed away, it's not special for the two of us to hide in such a conspicuous place so blatantly! And there's no one here, so we can hide if anything happens."

As soon as the words were finished, a whisper came from behind the row of bookshelves, "Dad! Mom! You listen to me! You must be right!" Hearing this voice, Wang Yi felt familiar, and looked through the bookshelves, but unexpectedly saw acquaintance.
