The ceiling is seeping water, it looks like it's been a while, and a little moss has grown on the wall.

They huddled together in the rear feet that were more manic than imagined, not daring to move or say a word.Blueberry buried her head in Ji Nanze's arms with some fear.

They didn't dare to look out, because the tide of corpses was sweeping across the border from the window.Although they tried to lower their voices and adjust their breathing, corpses still lingered on every street.

They were searching for survivors, but the swarm of mosquitoes did not gather. Of course, the black cat that was shot by Ji Nanze earlier was also missing.

I don't know why, but after only a few minutes or so, everything around me became quiet.

Zou Tu took a few glances outside to confirm that there were really no zombies on the street.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and began to relax his stiff legs.

"Act now?"

"Inappropriate." Ji Nanze recalled the previous scene in the conference room, and he felt terrified. "Now the zombies in the whole town are in a state of excitement, and they may die in vain if they act rashly. Besides, the source of the strange noise has not been found out yet. We I don’t know where the mosquitoes and black cats went, they are probably waiting for an opportunity to ambush us outside.”

Zou Tu was also lost in thought: "This time, the sound came earlier than before. It's very strange, and after dark, the distribution of infected creatures is getting denser."

"... sirens."

Ji Nanze suddenly thought of a possibility.

Zou Tu immediately understood what he meant: "Senior, are you talking about that black cat?"

"Yes." He nodded and continued, "Zou Tu, don't you think it's a little strange to go all the way?"

Zou Tu sorted out all the things that happened before in his mind.

"The tide of corpses appeared after the black cat found us and made high-frequency calls." He said, "Including the mosquito swarm, this black cat...is like their commander in a strict sense."

"But really, it was a siren at best."

"Sirens?"

"That's right. According to the first possibility you mentioned, if the black cat is the leader of the zombie wave, then when Blueberry attacks it, all the zombies should rescue it immediately instead of continuing to chase us." Ji Nanze looked into his eyes and said, "Combined with what happened in the past few days, I feel... there is only one possibility."

"What does the senior mean?"

"Every evening, the mixed noise from Jiaxi Town, in fact, was right in front of our eyes just now."

Zou Tu frowned, his thinking obviously didn't jump as fast as Ji Nanze's.

"The sounds of the alarms are scattered and vary from area to area, possibly from entirely different infecting organisms."

Zou Tu bit his nails, his expression a little ugly: "So, there should be a lot of dangerous creatures in Jiaxi Town."

In this way, the real threat may not be the tide of corpses, but the infected creatures that have taken over Gaxi Town.

"And what we heard just now is very likely that the alarm was triggered at the same time, causing a large-scale migration of corpses." He bit his lips and continued, "So the corpses that were chasing us just now, when the alarm sounded, From then on, everything went in the direction of the sound source."

Zou Tu has some clues, but he is not sure: "Is this, it means one thing."

"Yeah." Ji Nanze nodded, "Judging from the advance timing of this alarm, this may not be some kind of programmed instrument. This is very likely to be the judgment made by the other party after hearing the black cat's cry."

Zou Tu suddenly understood what he meant, and the two of them looked at each other and said in unison.

"There are other survivors in this small town."

***

Even if the matter has a lot of clues, he still can't leave this room rashly right now.

The two discussed it, and decided to seal the doors and windows first, rest here at least one night, wait for the tide of corpses to subside, and the zombies continue to scatter in every corner of Jiaxi Town before making plans.

"I'll keep watch." Ji Nanze patted Blueberry's head and said with a smile, "Try to get more sleep. After running for so long just now, is your body sticky?"

"A little bit." Zou Tu knew what he was thinking, and said quickly: "I'm fine, senior, don't you just sweat all over? Just find a place to wash your body when the time comes. Your injuries haven't healed yet. rest."

"Okay, don't argue with me." Ji Nanze hugged his knees and smiled at him, "I can move around freely now, and I ran such a long distance with you, besides, I am a patient, so I am in a hurry with you ah."

Zou Tu was overwhelmed by his "threat".

Seeing his dejected look, Ji Nanze reached out and rubbed his ears: "I said it's okay, but it's really okay, you go to sleep, Zou Tu. If you feel sorry, you will watch the night after you wake up, and you will take turns."

Zou Tu hesitated for a long time, but still flattened his mouth under Ji Nanze's aggressive eyes, and stopped resisting.

"If anything happens, call me immediately." He seemed to have thought about the refuge, and turned around and said to Ji Nanze, "Don't act on your own, I'm afraid of death."

"Understood, listen to you. Good night."

After speaking, he looked at Ji Nanze again, put the backpack under his head, and lay on his side.

After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Nanze stared at his sleeping face for a long time, then covered him with his coat again.Feeling that the more he looked, the more he didn't want to look away, so he stood up and walked around the room.

Zou Tu came here because of him, and his destination was the hospital in Jiaxi Town, but Ji Nanze didn't think so.

The current situation in Jiaxi Town is turbulent, and there are too many unknown factors.

They shouldn't be here, they should find a way to get away from the town and go to a smaller town with a higher safety factor.

Since the outbreak of the infection, no matter in the early or middle stage of the infection, the hospital is an extremely dangerous place.Dangerous patients may have been housed there, or they may have been plundered by a large number of armed forces.

And there are too many unsolved mysteries surrounding Jiaxi Town.

Why should survivors help them?Why are the alarms triggered by infected creatures every night?

Are Survivors Really Helping Others?

After coming out of the matsutake shelter, Ji Nanze has found it difficult to trust others at will.You know, they all almost died in the refuge, and even his life was saved by Zou Tu and Lan Berry desperately.

Do they have another purpose?

unknown.

Zou Tu woke up after sleeping for about three hours, and he didn't sleep very well just by the way he woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Ji Nanze was grabbed by his sleeve before he could speak.

Zou Tu blinked his eyes and begged, "Senior, I'm awake. I'll keep watch from now on."

"You only slept for three hours." Ji Nanze couldn't laugh or cry, "With your amount of exercise, three hours is not enough, beware of sudden death."

"If you don't sleep, I'm more worried about your sudden death." Zou Tu frowned, with a serious face, "You sleep. After you sleep for seven or eight hours, I will lie down and catch up on sleep."

"I can't sleep, really can't sleep. Don't force me."

Zou Tu couldn't help laughing: "How dare I? You are my senior. I can't bear the crime of disrespecting my teacher."

"I'm not sleepy. You forced me to sleep. Not only can't I fall asleep for a while, but I'm even more excited." He said, "Human functions are very rebellious. In this way, we can talk and pass the time."

Zou Tu was still worried about his body, and he hesitated now.

But as soon as he raised his head and saw Ji Nanze's eyes, he lost all confidence for no reason.

Obviously he had done nothing wrong, he just nodded in compromise like a big dog who was punished and admitted his mistake.

"Zou Tu, let me ask you a few questions, and you answer them truthfully."

He felt that it was strange for the senior to emphasize so much, so he nodded obediently without thinking about it: "Okay."

"What do you like to eat at school?"

"I don't have any specific hobbies." Zou Tu thought for a while and said, "I like everything you do."

"No, how can there be such a perfunctory answer." Ji Nanze immediately dismissed, "You can't lie to please me."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zou Tu said with a smile, "every sentence is true, senior, I really didn't lie to you at all."

Ji Nanze pinched his nose lightly: "Then tell me some dishes you like, and I'll spare you."

He thought for a while and said, "Minced meat and eggplant."

"Eggplant with minced meat? Is it the pot I brought you when we were neighbors?"

Zou Tu nodded.

Ji Nanze couldn't help but kissed him on the cheek.

"Fool."

"Why scold me?"

"Where is this called scolding you? I don't know much." He smiled so much that his brows and eyes were crooked. "Next time I have a chance, I'll make it for you, okay?"

Zou Tu nodded at him again: "Okay."

"Do you remember the writing class that every student in our school had to take in the first grade?"

"Remember, the skinny monkey annoyed me to death all day long." Zou Tu looked at the ceiling and recalled, "I didn't listen carefully in class, played games all night, and lay down in the last row to catch up on sleep during the day. Once class was over Just asking questions, he still failed this class, so I remember it very clearly."

"You two have such a good relationship." Ji Nanze also raised his head, "If you say it this way, I miss them a lot too. I haven't seen them for so many days. I don't know how they are doing."

"With Jiang Sen here, nothing will happen." Zou Tu comforted him, "Shouhou and Luosang are not fools, they are all smart."

He smiled gently: "That's right, I have a car, and there are supplies left in the car. As long as there is no major accident, there will be no trouble. By the way, Zou Tu, do you still remember the final exam?" composition?"

"Composition? I have to think about this..."

"The theme of that composition is dreams."

Zou Tu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ji Nanze beside him.The latter didn't look at him, but stretched out, freeing one arm to hold the sleepy blueberry.

When blueberries are sleepy or asleep, they are very clingy, and they always stick to other people's bodies. If they can't stick to people's noses, they will make whining and chirping sounds.He has no sense of being a big dog at all.

He was suddenly a little afraid of Ji Nanze's next question.

"What did you write?"

Sure enough, he asked.

Zou Tu lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.His ten fingers were clasped together, and this time the palms of his hands were extremely dry, and he was a little restless.

"I didn't write anything special, just..."

"Come on, there are only you and me here, and blueberries." He turned his head and smiled at Zou Tu, "Didn't we all make an appointment to be together?"

Zou Tu's lips moved, he lowered his head, and lowered his voice very softly.

"I want to die, but I'm afraid." He said, "I want to be like a normal person, have the opportunity to say goodbye to life and death, and have the power to choose life. People say that the world is actually very beautiful, as long as you stop and look, everything looks like Standing for myself. But I can't stop, there are too many people pushing me all the way."

"What do you see at the end of the road?"

"Death? I never thought of the answer to that question."

"No." Ji Nanze shook his head and hugged him tightly, "It's not death. It's not something else, it's what you want, what you really want to do—not me, not someone else, Just yourself."

Zou Tu also hugged his shoulders, but he didn't speak.

"Do you know what I wrote?" Ji Nanze leaned on his shoulder and said, "I hope that the four years of campus life will be beautiful. But there are some things that will never be expected."

"Back then, in school, all my roommates, including many people around me, changed their attitudes from hating me. They stopped hating me and throwing my things downstairs from the dormitory. They just occasionally Will take an extra look at me, and occasionally count my copy when printing documents."

"I went back to my normal life, but other people, other people who were bullied because of me didn't."

Ji Nanze felt that his breathing was slowly becoming stiff, and couldn't help asking.

"Zou Tu, tell me, is all this because of you?"
