sunset escape

Xiang Jiayun was awakened by a beam of light.

A ray of sunlight fell from the gap in the curtains, shining on his face impartially.

The other three have not woken up yet.The two boys and girls fell to the ground, sleeping soundly back to back.Teacher He was leaning against the wall, frowning, and those who didn't know thought he was closing his eyes to rest.

Xiang Jiayun stood up slowly, and took two steps while supporting the wall.After a night of rest, the pain in the left leg has subsided to negligible.

He was in a much happier mood, and if he didn't think about the messy dream-like things last night, it would be another beautiful day.

He opened the curtains and checked the situation downstairs, and there were still a few scattered zombies wandering around yesterday.He walked to the door again and leaned against the door to listen to the movement outside.The zombie walked clumsily, so the footsteps were heavier than ordinary people. After listening to Jiajun for two or three minutes, he estimated that the situation outside was not optimistic.

When the two children escaped yesterday, he stood by the door and counted quickly. There were seven zombies who broke into the sales department, not including the possibility that there was another increase last night.

Xiang Jiayun touched the climbing rope around his waist and had an idea in his mind.

He looked back to the window, but he happened to meet He Chen's gaze.He almost went into cardiac arrest for a while, and the scene of last night appeared uncontrollably in his mind, disturbing him not knowing where to put his eyes.

Should I say good morning?

He barely managed to stabilize his mind, and only then noticed that the other party's eyes were sleepy, and the movement of looking at him seemed to be unintentional, and his eyes were not mixed with any emotions.

Xiang Jiayun came to his senses in an instant, he forgot that Mr. He had trouble getting up, and he was most likely emptying out at the moment.

I really think too much.He lowered his eyes to cover his sight, let He Chen relax, walked back to the window, and opened a corner of the curtain to observe for a while.He didn't look back until the corner of his clothes was pulled.

Teacher He raised his gaze from his watch and said softly, "Go and wake them up, it's time to go."

Xiang Jiayun didn't go immediately, but asked, "How do you plan to get out?"

It took He Chen a second or two to digest this question, and answered slowly: "Get out?"

He looked at the righteous He Chen, and couldn't find any words to refute for a while, he could only say "you wait first", and then walked to another corner.

Xiang Jiayun bent down and pushed Liu Yao with his fingertips, "Get up."

The boy didn't even open his eyes, and after a few whimpers, he remained silent again.

Why are all the households who have trouble getting up one by one?

He pondered for a while, then raised his voice slightly and said, "You're going to be late for class!"

Liu Yao suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, and said hurriedly, "Immediately, what time is it at six o'clock?"

However, after seeing who the person in front of him was, he suddenly fell silent. He relaxed and scratched the back of his head: "I'm sorry... I thought my classmate told me to get up."

Xia Shuya was woken up, rubbed her eyes and sat up.There was a bruise on the back of the little girl's hand, probably because she accidentally hit it when Liu Yao dragged her away yesterday.

He glanced at Jiajun, then looked at Liu Yao and shook his head.The child looked more and more heartless, but he was honest, like a neighbor's silly child.

"Pack up and get ready to go."

He stood up after explaining, but suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Xia Shuya, which district of city B does your sister live in?"

The little girl fell asleep too, and after thinking for a while, she replied, "It's in the city center, not far from her company... Are you going to separate from us?"

He Chen told Xiang Jiayun before that his parents also lived in the urban area.

"Not yet." Xiang Jiajun smiled reassuringly, but he felt the need to speak clearly, so he added, "But you have to know, we are not teammates, we just happened to be on the same road. We have to separate, You can prepare ahead of time."

Liu Yao nodded in confusion, but Xia Shuya bowed her head and did not answer.

That's all Xiang Jiajun said, and turned to look for Mr. He.

He Chen had already woken up, stood up and moved his stiff body after a night of sleep.Seeing him come back, he gave him a calm look, "Have you made it clear to them?"

He nodded.

He Chen picked up the mountaineering bag on the ground, "Let's go, move the sofa away first. There are probably quite a few behind the door, I'll open the way, and you are in the rear."

Xiang Jiayun held He Chen who was acting resolutely, "Wait a minute, I have another way."

"What?" Teacher He was a little surprised.

He took off the climbing rope around his waist, and untied the other end of the climbing hammer. "There are fewer zombies on the side of the window, and the field is open so that they can be killed quickly."

He Chen was taken aback, took the climbing rope as if it was a novelty, and murmured: "It's pretty smart."

Seeing that the other party agreed to the proposal, Xiang Jiajun approached him more actively, talking endlessly: "This climbing rope is long enough, and you don't even need to tie a knot. Find a stick, fold the rope into double strands and hang it on it, and go down. It’s easy to recycle later.”

He Chen didn't get impatient when he listened to his endless suggestions, but let him follow behind like a follower, while he rummaged around.

Finally, he locked his eyes on the office chair.

He was about to disassemble it immediately, but he remembered something, turned his head to look at Xiang Jiayun who had shut up, and praised: "It's a good idea...Come here and help me."

The two worked together to dismantle the office chair, and the good chair became parts scattered all over the floor.He Chen only took away the starfish-shaped chair leg chassis, placed it vertically by the window, hung the climbing rope on it, and tied a slipknot that Xiang Jiayun couldn't understand.

"It should be strong enough." He Chen tried it, then turned his head and said to the three of them, "I'll go down first after the window is opened, Liu Yao is second, Xia Shuya is third, and Xiang Jiajun is the rear. Drive over, everyone as fast as possible, once the zombies below make a sound, they will attract other zombies."

Xia Shuya and Liu Yao already knew their plan, they waited by the window, and nodded upon hearing this.But the little girl still couldn't hold back and said to them: "I can go down first, I have learned rock climbing."

He Chen glanced at her, "Thank you, but there's no need, I've learned it too. And there are a group of zombies waiting for us to take the initiative to feed them. You and Liu Yao don't have much experience, so I'll come first."

Liu Yao tugged at the girl's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Xia Shuya, it's dangerous."

Xiang Jiayun swallowed the words of volunteering.Forget it, he has never learned rock climbing, and this time he really doesn't have the right to speak. Next time, he must rush to the front and be a hero.

He Chen pinched the corner of the curtain, turned around and asked them, "Are you all ready?"

In the next second, the curtains were swished open.Sunlight streams in through the glass and fills the room.

He Chen opened the window, threw down the climbing rope, and stepped out of the window neatly.As if he had no worries, he held the climbing rope with both hands, kicked his feet towards the outer wall, and fell downstairs.

Xiang Jiayun stood by the window, watching He Chen's methodical figure.The man kicked off the wall twice before landing at a height of more than one meter, then jumped to the ground with his hands loose, and at the same time took out the steel hammer at his waist, and sent a heavy hammer to the rushing zombie with his backhand.

Xiang Jiayun grabbed Liu Yao who was next to him, pushed him out of the window, and urged him in a low voice at a very fast speed: "Hold on, it's useless to be afraid of heights now, learn from your brother He Hurry up, the group of zombies will surround him."

Before Liu Yao had time to speak, he was driven to the shelf, grabbed the climbing rope, stepped out of the window, and slid down as soon as he closed his eyes.Then one lost his grip and dropped his hand when it was half a meter high, and fell a buttock.

He couldn't bear to look directly at him, and when he saw Liu Yao let go, he turned his head and urged Xia Shuya, "Hurry up, you are a professional, I trust you. Bring your crowbar and go down to help Teacher He."

The little girl didn't need his urging at all, she turned over and landed before she finished listening to the words, and disappeared in an instant.

Xiang Jiayun looked downstairs, the four zombies had already been dealt with, and He Chen was the first to break out of the encirclement and run to drive.

As soon as Xia Shuya landed on the ground, he raised the crowbar, showed the viciousness of that night, and knocked down an adult male zombie in the blink of an eye.Liu Yao glanced at her worriedly, and followed He Chen to drive.

It was Xiang Jiayun's turn.He grabbed the climbing rope and turned out of the window. He didn't feel any fear in his heart, but he was inexplicably thinking about the figure of Teacher He who had just refused to turn back.

However, just thinking for a moment, the body fell to the ground.He suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed one side of the climbing rope, pulled hard, and the whole rope was torn off by him.

As he turned around with a bundle of rope in his arms, he heard the sound of a car engine.He Chen had already driven the car over at an extremely wild speed, and then made a cool drift, stopped in front of Xiang Jiayun, and slapped his face with ashes.

"Hurry up and get in the car, Xia Shuya, you are also with me."

Holding the climbing rope, Xiang Jiayun rushed towards the co-driver, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the little girl deftly dodging the attack of the last zombie and running towards the back seat.

The two got into the car almost at the same time and closed the door.

He Chen started early, and at this moment accelerated suddenly, leaving behind a group of zombies who heard the sound.

Xiang Jiayun couldn't help coughing twice, patted the dust off her body, and complained: "Mr. He, you are maliciously retaliating."

Before He Chen could reply, a little girl's voice suddenly came from the back seat, "Revenge for what?"

"I bumped him."

"He hit me."

The two spoke in unison.

Xiang Jiajun and He Chen looked at each other, slightly embarrassed.

Xia Shuya was shocked for a moment, and after a while, she could only say: "Adults have a doomsday taste."

Xiang Jiayun didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

The girl shook her head, Xiang Jiayun had no choice but to look at He Chen, and asked again: "What did she just say?"

Teacher He's expression was unusually stiff, and even avoiding his gaze, he cleared his throat and replied, "She said...a childish trick."

He frowned disapprovingly: "Are you lying to me, I obviously heard a lot of words."

"You are deaf." He Chen's tone was extremely firm.

"Are you cursing me again? Aren't you afraid that I'll make you dumb?" Xiang Jiayun pulled back.

Xia Shuya couldn't take it anymore, and stretched out a hand from the back seat, between them, "Both brothers, put me down in front, I will take my own car."

He Chen finally didn't reply, ended the childish scolding, stopped the car and let Xia Shuya go back to the car behind.

Xiang Jiayun's heart was itchy, he wanted to know what Xia Shuya said just now, but he didn't want to ask He Chen again, otherwise he would lose.

He took out a trekking pole that was folded to a short length from his backpack, and unfolded it violently, as if he was about to fight.

He Chen finally took a look at him, his expression was no longer as stiff as before, and he suddenly called out: "Xiang Jiayun."

He replied sullenly, "What are you doing?"

"Wait until City B..." He Chen paused.

Xiang Jiayun took the initiative to pick up the half-sentence, "Shall we part ways?"

He Chen suddenly turned his head and glanced at him, frowning, "You have a good idea."
