I eat candy in the horror world

The sky was covered with clouds, and the sun poured down from the gaps in the clouds unconsciously.

The weather here is sultry and hot, Song Xi found a shade under a tree to enjoy the cool, with layers of sweat on his forehead.Jiang Su bought ice soda from nowhere, inserted a straw and held it in front of Song Xi's mouth.

Song Xi was surprised: "Where did you get the money?"

Jiang Su: "Pang Hao paid for it."

He raised his chin slightly in a certain direction, and Song Xi looked over. Pang Hao's arm was resting on the window of a canteen, chatting with the people inside with a smile.

It was the owner of the commissary who was chatting with Pang Hao. He got up late, ate breakfast and lunch together, and was picking his teeth.

After listening to Pang Hao’s description of why the taxi driver didn’t accept pink banknotes, the boss said: “Some people here are very stubborn and insist on using the old banknotes instead of the new ones. If you meet this kind of banknotes, you don’t have the old banknotes on you If you don’t want banknotes, you have to not buy his things or ride in his car.”

Pang Hao felt very strange, "Is there any reason for this?"

"Is there any reason, personal habits and hobbies." The boss flicked his finger, and the toothpick fell into the trash can.

Pang Hao exchanged some pleasantries, bought a pack of cigarettes, and left.He came to the door and relayed the words of the shop owner to Song Xi.

Song Xi frowned, looking at the cars passing by on the road outside, a thought flashed in his mind, but unfortunately he didn't catch it.

The dull horn sounded, and the three of them looked to the right together, and the minibus that brought them before had returned.

The driver of the minibus was the same as before, and Ma Xingguo, who was acting as a "guide", was standing in the aisle, bending over to talk to the two people sitting in that row.

Because they were blocked by the window frame, Song Xi couldn't see their faces clearly.But when Ma Xingguo turned around, he saw the third person blocked by Ma Xingguo's body.

A large piece of flesh was missing from the man's face, blood gushed out from his neck, his head was tilted with his body, his face was drooping, but his eyes seemed to be open.

It was a dead man covered in bruises.

Although the two hadn't spoken formally, Song Xi recognized him as the boy who had run away before.From this point of view, the ones blocked by the window frame should be the other two who left with him.

Song Xi said in shock: "It's the three of them!"

Pang Hao patted his thigh and realized which three it was, but when he looked over, the car had already gone away.

He said blankly: "Why did you just leave, shouldn't you send people into the community?"

"Dead." Song Xi was sure that the three people in the car were dead, "all dead."

Pang Hao was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, "So what Ma Xingguo said before was a lie?"

Jiang Su walked out from between the two of them and stood on the side of the road. The minibus was mixed in the traffic, and soon there was only a blur of the car's butt.

He backed up and found the shop owner who had been chatting with Pang Hao before, "Where does the big road outside the community lead to?"

The owner of the commissary knew that they were new residents, and based on the principle of being kind to others, it can be said that they answered every question.

"There are so many places leading to it, there are food processing factories, warehouses of large supermarkets, funeral parlors..." The boss paused, showing a disgusted expression, "By the way, there is also a garbage dump. When the weather is hottest, It tastes so good.”

Song Xi stood behind Jiang Su and bit his lower lip quietly, saying "garbage" again.He poked his head out from behind the young man, and asked with a smile, "Boss, the garbage dump is built so close, it will have an impact on the environment of the city, no one cares about it?"

"It doesn't matter." The boss said, "The owner of the garbage dump used to be a real boss with money, so he bought the land. The government came forward to drive people out before the deadline, which is unreasonable."

"Besides, there are two elderly people who run the garbage dump. Every time someone goes to negotiate, they either cry and have a headache or they are about to have a heart attack. As time goes by, no one dares to go there again."

Song Xi: "Is this the only garbage dump in the city?"

"Just this one." The boss sighed, "I don't know how many years it will last, and when will this stinky day be the end."

Song Xi wanted to go to the garbage dump. As soon as he said his idea, Pang Hao objected with both hands, "We just came here. I don't know if there are any rules and restrictions here. What if we can't run around."

Song Xi thought about it, "Let's talk about it after Ma Xingguo comes back."

At 12:30 noon, Ma Xingguo came back, changed his clothes and stood in front of everyone, "It's lunch time, everyone is hungry, I'll take you to eat something."

The place to eat is next to the community, because there are so many people, it can only be divided into two tables.

Ma Xingguo ordered two tables of homemade stir-fry for everyone and a case of beer. When everyone was full, he raised his glass and said, "This meal is just for everyone. I hope everyone can have a good time in this city." Settling in, progressing smoothly."

After speaking, he drank a glass.

The rest of the people followed suit, and Song Xi and the three secretly poured the wine on the ground while everyone was not paying attention.In this kind of place, alcohol that can paralyze human nerves must not be touched. Who knows what will happen if one gets drunk.

The rest of the people also had the same concerns, and everyone was very restrained in the subsequent persuasion session.Fortunately, Ma Xingguo did not show obvious displeasure.

After the meal, Song Xi deliberately stayed behind and walked with Ma Xingguo, "Brother Ma, there is another person you mentioned, where is he now?"

Ma Xingguo said: "I've troubled my friend to pick him up, so it's time to arrive."

"Is that person Shi Jinpeng?" Song Xi asked.

Ma Xingguo was taken aback, then realized that the two belonged to the same village, and said with a smile: "It's him, do you know him well?"

"Not very familiar." Song Xi said, "I've only spoken a few times."

Ma Xingguo stood still suddenly, put one hand on Song Xi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's not easy to take root in this city, I can see that you are a real young man, work hard, as long as you work hard, you will have everything."

"Understood, thank you Brother Ma for the reminder." Song Xi pretended to be taught, as if he was really a stunned young man who came out to work.

Ma Xingguo withdrew his hand in satisfaction, "Seeing that you are so honest, I will remind you one more thing, it is best not to go out alone at night, if you are in a company, it is best to have more than two people."

"Why?" Song Xi asked.

"There are gangsters who come out to wander around at night, so it's not safe." Ma Xingguo said.

Judging from his expression, he should be telling the truth, but Song Xi just felt that he was hiding something.

Ma Xingguo escorted everyone all the way back to the community. He stood at the door of the unit building with his hips crossed and said to everyone: "After lunch break, everyone can go shopping. If possible, everyone can start looking for a job starting early tomorrow morning." .”

"We don't have any academic qualifications, so we can only do some hard work. The factory going down the road outside is recruiting workers, and the new large supermarket in the city center is also recruiting people. Also, there is a row outside the warehouse in the southeast. For trucks, those who have experience in driving large trucks can go there and have a look.”

After explaining this, Ma Xingguo really left, leaving only a phone number, telling everyone that they can call him if they encounter difficulties.

It seems that they really don't plan to care about them anymore.

For the convenience of discussion, everyone did not stay in the house, but gathered in the open space downstairs.The old man who played chess at the stone table had already returned home early with the stool, leaving the empty stone table and the cold stone bench.

Everyone formally introduced themselves, and one of them, a fierce-looking, burly muscular man, asked, "If we don't look for jobs, will something bad happen?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at He Fei. As early as in the hotel lobby, He Fei had already shown his identity as an "old man". Compared with Song Xi and the three who met later, they believed in He Fei more.

He Fei folded her arms and leaned against the tree, "We'd better do what he said."

"But didn't you say we need to find an exit?" A girl retorted, "If everyone goes to work, who has the energy and time to find an exit."

Song Xi sat on the stone bench and thought, "You can look for clues while working." He looked up at the girl seriously, "We can meet many people when we work, and maybe we can get clues from them. .”

Song Xi's eyes were beautiful, and when she was stared at intently, the girl's face began to turn red.This is a star, I have never seen or touched it before, and I only live in the TV screen.

She unconsciously softened her voice, "What if I can't find out..."

"We have so many people, why can't we find out?" Song Xi stood up and suggested, "When you choose a job, it's best to choose a job with a lot of activity time or a job with a large number of people."

Everyone thinks it makes sense, the eyes that look at Song Xi are no longer looking at Bai Zhanji, and some of them are young, and even start to worship Song Xi.

When they saw Song Xi for the first time, while everyone was surprised, they were also waiting for a good show.I want to know if the handsome and delicate man on the screen will pee his pants in fear in this environment.

After getting in touch with them, they realized that apart from He Fei, Song Xi and the little brother next to him were the calmest. They didn't show panic from the beginning to the end, and they weren't restrained when talking to Ma Xingguo.

"Little brother, how many times have you been in here?" An old man said jokingly, "I think you are familiar with the process here."

Song Xi casually said a conservative number, and He Fei gave him a sneering look without saying a word.

The old brother said with a smile: "With so much experience, then you can make arrangements for us."

"Arrange a fart, have you forgotten the three who left before, they haven't come back yet, they must have gone out." A middle-aged man wearing glasses gave He Fei a dissatisfied look, "If it wasn't for that You said that the exits here are very hidden, and we won't doubt Ma Xingguo's words, it's good now..."

"Those three people are already dead." Song Xi interrupted.

"What?" The man with glasses didn't know whether he couldn't believe it, or he really didn't hear clearly.

Song Xi repeated with a cold face: "I said they were all dead. I saw with my own eyes that the bodies were put in the minibus, and Ma Xingguo was also inside."

"Why... didn't you say there was an exit? Did you read it wrong!" The middle-aged man stared at Song Xi, hoping to see some clues from his face.

"He didn't lie, I saw it too." Jiang Su described the appearance of one of the corpses in detail.

Everyone felt sick to their stomachs, and their timid faces turned pale.

Pang Hao always thought that he and Jiang Su didn't see it, but now it's all right, he has become the one with the least contribution value among the three.

So he rushed to say: "I saw it too. Although I didn't have time to see the body clearly, I know that the car was driving along the road outside."

Someone stammered, "Yes, did you send it to the funeral home?"

Song Xi: "Maybe."

The old man clenched his fists in amazement, and eagerly sought answers from Song Xi and He Fei: "Did they encounter danger on the way to the exit, or the exit itself was a lie. Ma Xingguo has been lying to us all along!"

"But why did he lie to us? What good is death to him?"

"Is it because there is not enough accommodation space? The current housing space is just enough for the seventeen of us."

"In this way, he doesn't have to tell us that there are still people who haven't arrived. Wouldn't it be better to kill them directly?"

"This place is poisonous!" Someone scolded, and then panicked, "Can we really go out, do they start thinking we all die here?! Three people died in less than three hours , then it's up to us..."

Panic is contagious, one, two, three... more and more people started to fear, and the few who cried in fright at first stopped crying not long ago, and now they couldn't help crying again.

Song Xi was so quarreled that his head would explode, and he said to Jiang Su: "Let's go to other places."

Pang Hao hurriedly followed, like a little tail, not letting go.

The area of ​​City A is not small, if you want to visit half of the city thoroughly, you need to spend a lot of time.Song Xi walked down the main road and found that although some stores on both sides of the street were open, there was no one inside.

He came up with the idea of ​​the bicycle parked in front of the shop, and seeing someone in the shop next door, he went in and asked where the owner of the bicycle was and if he could borrow it.

Next door is a sex toy shop. The owner is a muscular young man in a tight vest. He raised his eyebrows and blew a kiss to Song Xi, "Little brother, you can just take it away. The car has no owner."

Song Xi didn't believe it, "Why don't I put some money with you as a deposit, and when the owner of the car comes, please tell me that I borrowed it."

The man stood up from the counter, taller than Song Xi.He stretched out a hand towards Song Xi, just when his fingertips were about to touch Song Xi's chin, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed his wrist tightly.

The man glanced at the dark-faced Jiang Su, then at the bewildered Song Xi, and sighed quietly: "I waited so long to find someone of the same kind, and it turned out to be the owner."

Song Xi cleared his throat and saw that although Jiang Su had a bad face, he didn't intend to urge him to leave, so he continued to ask the boss, "Excuse me, how long have you been here?"

"It's been a long time." The boss squinted at Song Xi, "Why are you asking this?"

"Just ask casually." Song Xi dragged Jiang Su away.

Just as he was going down the stairs, the boss at the counter leaned out and said loudly, "Hey, I was serious just now. The bicycle has no owner, you just ride it away."

Song Xi asked strangely, "Where is the owner of the car?"

The boss had a casual attitude, "Dead."

Song Xi: "How did you die?"

The relaxed expression of the boss suddenly became guarded, his eyeballs slid over the faces of the three of them one by one, and he said coldly: "What are you doing asking so many people, besides, I don't know how they died."

Song Xi pursed his lower lip, skipped the topic, "We will ride the bicycle, thank you."

The boss seemed to change his face, and looked relaxed again. He waved his hands and said, "No thanks, no thanks, little brother, if you are free, you can come and sit for a while."

When he came to the bicycle, Jiang Su held Song Xi's shoulder, took out a tissue and wiped his chin.

Song Xi teased him, "You're so stingy, why don't you wipe it off if you don't touch it?"

Jiang Su answered irrelevantly, "I'm not allowed to come again in the future, Pang Hao and I will just come over when returning the car."

Song Xi: "The jealousy is so strong, Su Su must be jealous."

Jiang Su was so teased that her face turned red, she pinched Song Xi's chin forcefully, and said viciously, "It's specially brewed for you, are you happy?"

Song Xi's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and his heart was filled with satisfaction.

Everyone hopes that the person they like only sees themselves, and hopes that they occupy a large proportion in the other's heart, and Song Xi is no exception.I was so happy that I couldn't help but want to hold someone in my arms and kiss again.

Before he had time to move, Pang Hao threw a horizontal bar, "That's enough, treat me as dead."

He finally found out that Song Xi didn't treat him as an outsider at all now, and he didn't shy away from flirting with him.Pang Hao was both happy and sad, with complicated emotions.

Get on a bike and go a lot faster.

They found that there are many unguarded shops on both sides of the street, and most of the occupied shops are run by elderly people, and a small number are young and middle-aged people.

Among the latter, almost most of the complexions are not very good.

Song Xi tested a few of them. They seemed to be suffering from illnesses and were weak in speaking. Only one of them was strong.

"This city is too strange." Pang Hao muttered, holding the front of the car, "and the population is very small."

Song Xi: "This is just a copy of the city layout in the real world. Don't forget, these wandering people are all dead people. They just forgot that they are dead."

"But that city can kill so many people all at once." Pang Hao was amazed. If this was the case, people would have panicked and confused.

"It's also strange that they don't use the same kind of banknotes." Pang Hao said nervously, "It's so old, who the hell still uses the old version of banknotes, these things have long been out of circulation!"

"They didn't die at the same time." Jiang Su's cold voice split Song Xi's thinking like a sharp sword.

The thoughts that had passed by before were once again solidified in my mind.

Song Xi: "They are people who have died in City A one after another over the years!"

The sick and weak old man guarding the store died of illness, and the young man must have had an accident, or he may have committed suicide.People who died early were of different ages, their car seats, and the currency used for transactions were different from those that Song Xi was familiar with.

That's why the taxi he took was so old-fashioned and the seat was old. The driver angrily accused Song Xi of cheating him with counterfeit money.

The owner of the commissary said that the drivers were stubborn, which is actually true, because their understanding of society is still before death.
