I take skeletons to the apocalypse

Xia Xi hung up the phone and walked out of the lounge.

In the hall this afternoon, it seemed extraordinarily quiet and empty. Xia Xi saw Zhang Lin arranging the baked biscuits in the kitchen, so she stepped forward and asked, "Cao Jin is gone?"

"Well, I left at noon and took Yu Qianqian with me." Zhang Lin raised her head from the pile of biscuit boxes and handed a plate of cupcakes to Xia Xi: "Hungry, how many are left in the store?" Eggs, I baked a cake at noon, you can try it. If you want to eat it later, I’m afraid there won’t be many chances.”

Xia Xi took the cake plate, pinched one and put it in her mouth, the rich aroma smoothed over her depressed mood because of the breakup.There was a slight smile on Xia Xi's lips: "It's delicious."

"Eat all you like, these are reserved for you. There are also some fruits, yogurt, and taro balls in the store, and I will make fruit for you later." Zhang Lin said while folding the packing box.

Xia Xi ate two, put down the plate again, and helped Zhang Lin fold the cardboard box: "The one who left was Yu Qianqian? What about Qi Xiaoxue?"

Zhang Lin gave a light hand: "She is in the store. She fell in the morning and seemed to hurt her waist. Since Cao Jin left at noon, she has been lying on the small sofa in the restaurant."

"Qi Xiaoxue was abandoned by Cao Jin?" Xia Xi was a little surprised, he could see that Cao Jin was interested in Qianqian, but he didn't expect that the other party would abandon Qi Xiaoxue for this.

"Cao Jin's car has two seats, and he can only take one person with him." Speaking of this, Zhang Lin couldn't help but sigh a little: "Cao Jin is really too much, Xiaoxue is his girlfriend and treats him so well, but he Seeing that Qianqian is pretty, she left Qi Xiaoxue behind...Qianqian is not acting properly."

Xia Xi didn't expect such a thing to happen, right or wrong, Xia Xi didn't want to comment.

But he knew that Qi Xiaoxue herself was not Cao Jin's girlfriend, at most she was an obedient lover.But Xia Xi didn't talk too much about Qi Xiaoxue's private matter.

dinner time.Zhang Lin made fruit lao and cooked noodles with leftover vegetables.Although the food is simple, the taste is very delicious.After Xia Xi finished eating, she realized that there was still a bowl next to her, and she hadn't touched her chopsticks.

"Qi Xiaoxue didn't eat dinner?" There were four people in the store, and all three of them were eating in the lobby, only Qi Xiaoxue was missing.

"She said she has no appetite." Zhang Lin said worriedly, "How can I do without food?"

She was a little worried about Qi Xiaoxue, and didn't know how to persuade her, so she just looked at the untouched bowl of noodle soup and sighed: "This noodle won't taste good if it's embarrassing."

"Let me go and have a look." Xia Xi picked up the bowl on the table, got up and walked towards the small restaurant.

In order to save electricity, they only turned on the lights in the living room at night, and there was only some peripheral light coming through here.

Xia Xi took a few steps closer, and saw the black shadow curled up on the sofa, a small ball, looking a little fragile.

Shahi put the bowl on the table next to him.

Hearing the sound of the edge of the bowl knocking on the table, Qi Xiaoxue moved, and said in a nasal voice: "I don't have an appetite, Miss Zhang, you should eat."

"It's me, Xia Xi." In the darkness, Xia Xi's voice sounded cold and gentle, like the moonlight slowly flowing in a quiet night.

Hearing Xia Xi's voice, Qi Xiaoxue turned around slowly, sat up with some difficulty, raised her head and showed a pale and haggard face: "It's you, why are you here, are you here to see my joke?"

"Why should I laugh at you?" Xia Xi pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Qi Xiaoxue.

"Don't pretend to be stupid, you know I'm a threesome, and now the retribution is coming, isn't it ridiculous?" Qi Xiaoxue took out the e-cigarette and took a puff, and the sweet smell of cola diffused in the air again.

"I have courted Cao Jin for a year, thinking that I have gained enough benefits, but in the end, in his eyes, I am just a thing that can be discarded at will. As long as there is a younger and more beautiful girl than me who is willing to post it, He would abandon me without hesitation."

"I think I should congratulate you." Xia Xi's tone sounded very serious: "A selfish person like Cao Jin may abandon you because of a beautiful girl today, and exchange you as material for a little profit tomorrow, or even Sacrifice you in the face of danger and escape alone. People like him will have no future in the last days and will only become more desperate."

Qi Xiaoxue was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, relieved and relaxed: "You are really good at comforting people."

"It's just looking at the problem from a different angle." Xia Xi pushed the noodles forward: "Survival is the first priority in the last days. Living well is better than anything else. People like Cao Jin are unreliable. Leaving him may be a problem for you Good thing."

"What about you? Cao Jin is afraid of you, I can see it. Although I don't know why, your ability is not limited to superficial aspects." Qi Xiaoxue's eyes showed a bit of estimation and scrutiny.

"I can't be relied on." Xia Xi smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can't even protect the people I care about. It seems that I always bring them bad luck. Besides, I'm not a good person. You have to expect me to be like Lin Like my sister, it is impossible to want to help anyone who sees difficulties."

Qi Xiaoxue sighed, and seemed to have finally figured something out: "It seems that I can only find a way to survive on my own."

She leaned on the back of the sofa and adjusted a relatively comfortable posture: "Actually, the moment Cao Jin left me, I felt a long-lost relief, as if I finally didn't have to continue to compete with myself. But I felt a little uncomfortable. Just be willing. Why can this kind of scum get so good before and after the end of the world, why can he awaken supernatural powers, but I can't."

Qi Xiaoxue rubbed the lower back that was knocked in the morning, and said aggrievedly: "When he pushed me in the morning, I'm afraid he broke all my bones, and it still hurts so much."

"So you should eat. How will your body recover if you don't eat?" Xia Xi still remembered her mission, and pushed the bowl forward again.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Qi Xiaoxue put down the electronic cigarette and picked up the chopsticks.

It was a very restless night.From around twelve o'clock, all kinds of strange sounds continued to sound outside the window, the sound of mucus flowing, friction and dragging, heavy footsteps, cries for help, screams, the sound of things being chewed, and various beats. The sound of knocking and knocking was a mess.

Originally, it was only Xia Xi who kept watch at night alone, but the other three couldn't sleep, so they sat with Xia Xi together, in the dark and silent room, huddled against each other in fear, anxiously waiting for the dawn.

"Did someone die outside?" Qi Xiaoxue's face was pale, the pain from the wound, and the fact that she hadn't had a good rest made her look particularly haggard and sensitive: "Those monsters, will they get in?"

"Not for the time being," Zhang Lin comforted her: "Today, Yunhan reminded me that all the gaps and vents in the house have been checked in advance, and all of them have been blocked with things, and the door has been reinforced. And Yunhan also made a A simple alarm, if a monster invades any passageway, the glass beads fixed nearby will hit the iron box below. So we are absolutely safe until we hear that sound."

Hearing this, Qi Xiaoxue was a little relieved: "That's good."

Zhang Lin patted her comfortingly again: "Go to sleep for a while, just sleep here. Your face is too ugly, we are guarding here, and we will call you if there is danger."

Zhang Yunhan tugged at Zhang Lin's sleeve: "Sister, you should go to sleep for a while, we can't all stay up late, and tomorrow may not be safe during the day, we have to conserve our energy."

"I'm not sleepy yet..."

"Boom!" A loud crash sounded from the door, interrupting the conversation of several people, followed by the sound of glass shattering.

Now, no one can sleep.

"what sound?"

Zhang Lin fumbled to turn on the flashlight on her phone.The light dispels some of the fear.Several people crowded towards the foyer.

Xia Xi is a bit of a clean freak, so naturally she won't be crowded with other people, and walks in the front alone.He can sense supernatural powers, and he knows that the house is safe for the time being, so he doesn't have to walk too cautiously.

Before coming to the foyer, Xia Xi saw that the rolling door had been knocked out of shape, exaggeratedly dented inward.Some bright light poured in through the gap of the shutter door, refracting light in broken shapes on the ground.

"It was the glass door that was smashed." Zhang Lin said distressedly, "Something hit from the outside, through the shutter door, and smashed the glass inside."

"Here, what kind of monster? Can it smash the door like this?" Qi Xiaoxue whispered.

"It's not a monster," Xia Xi said coldly, looking at the sunken shape on the rolling shutter door and the strong lights faintly shining in from outside, "It was hit by a car."

As soon as Xia Xi finished speaking, there was a hasty knock on the door outside: "Open the door! Open the door quickly, it's me, Cao Jin!"

Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked angrily: "Didn't you leave? Why are you coming back to knock on my shop door?"

"I..." The voice outside paused for a second: "I'm here to pick you up! I've got a five-seater car, and everyone can get in. Open the door and let me go in and hide. It's too dangerous outside!"

Zhang Lin hesitated whether to open the door, but was stopped by Zhang Yunhan, who whispered something in her ear.

Zhang Lin stopped and asked outside again: "Where is Yu Qianqian?"

"She... of course she has already arrived at the refuge. It's great there. There are all kinds of supplies. The prophet is easy to talk. Once I said that there are still people here, let me take you all there. It's so dangerous outside, I You risked your life to drive back. Open the door quickly.”

"There's a lot of lies." Xia Xi couldn't listen anymore.Could it be that this person regards them all as fools, otherwise why would he be able to make up such a lie that only fools would believe?

Who is Cao Jin?He might risk his life to rush back to save people?Even if he retreated [-] steps, he would save him. In a place like a refuge, it is impossible to take the initiative to accept a group of burdens without supernatural powers.Are prophets good people?Just look at Jing Lan and you will know that who can survive to the end in the last days, who is a good person?No matter how kind people are, in such a hopeless world, they will become cold-hearted.It’s good enough if you don’t do evil, save people?Can you save me?

"Xiaxi, you can't target me just because we have a problem." Cao Jin's voice slapping on the door became more and more anxious: "Xiaoxue, I was wrong Xiaoxue, I shouldn't have pushed you this morning, I shouldn't have taken you away , In fact, the one I love the most in my heart is you, Xiaoxue. I’ll take Qianqian there, just to explore the way first, don’t you think I’m coming back to pick you up? Open the door for me.”

"Liar." Qi Xiaoxue cursed in a low voice, but did not respond to Cao Jin's words.

Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that Qi Xiaoxue would soften her heart. Seeing that she was clear about it, she was relieved: "Cao Jin, we will not open the door. Since you left the store, we will not be the same. We will not You need to take it to the shelter, you should find someone else."

After saying this, the banging outside the door finally stopped.Not long after, the sound of the engine starting came from outside, and then the light from the gap disappeared. It seemed that Cao Jin had given up his mind and drove away.

The hallway fell into darkness again, and the deformed rolling shutter door exposed several empty gaps. The late summer night was already a bit chilly, and the cool wind poured in through the gaps, blowing through the thin T-shirts of several people.

"What should I do?" Zhang Lin stared at the damaged holes, wanting to cry.The screams outside still sounded from time to time, and now even the room has become unsafe.

"There are still wooden slats left, I'll find them and fix the gap first." Zhang Yunhan said, turning around and going to the corridor to move the remaining wooden slats.

Qi Xiaoxue stopped her worriedly: "No, this is the gate, you sealed it, if there is any danger behind, we have nowhere to escape."

Zhang Yunhan dodged awkwardly, looked down at the upper of the shoe: "Take care of this night first, and use the window to change an escape route to come out tomorrow."

The four of them gathered at the gate and nailed the planks together.Make sure to fill the gap on the door as quickly as possible.

The door was halfway sealed, and Xia Xi suddenly heard a crisp sound, like something hitting an iron object.

Zhang Yunhan, who was holding the wooden bar to smash nails on the door frame, stood up abruptly and looked at the source of the sound: "There is something coming in from the window!"

"Come on, help me!" Cao Jin's shout came from the room.

Qi Xiaoxue's face changed slightly, and then a thin layer of anger surfaced: "Why did he come in!"

"I'll go and have a look." After Qi Xiaoxue finished speaking, she walked towards the small restaurant angrily with a hammer in her hand.

"Wait!" Xia Xi felt something was wrong.It's not just Cao Jin, the power fluctuations in the small restaurant are more than one place, and they move very fast.rush out of the room.

It's a pity that he was a step too late. Qi Xiaoxue, who was walking in the dark, met Cao Jin. Before he could speak, Cao Jin pushed him forward. Then something bit his abdomen and let out a scream.

In the dark corridor, one pair, two pairs, three pairs, four pairs of bright red eyes lit up.With a flash of the flashlight, their outlines were vaguely seen.

It's a mutant mouse.They are all as tall as half a person, so I don't know if they are the same group as Xia Xi met at the toll booth.

Xia Xi used two bony hands to break open the mouth of the mouse that was biting Qi Xiaoxue, and quickly dragged Qi Xiaoxue back, but Qi Xiaoxue's entire stomach had been bitten to pieces, and the blood mixed with internal organs dripped all over the floor.

"Cao Jin! How did you bring them in?" Zhang Lin shouted at Cao Jin angrily.

"I can't help it." Cao Jin kicked away a mouse that was rushing towards him, and finally told the truth: "I ran into a rat wave not long after I drove out today, do you know how many mutant mice there are? There were hundreds of them, they bit my car and wanted to eat me, but thanks to Qianqian standing in front of me, I barely escaped."

"What did you say, Qianqian is dead?" Zhang Yunhan's calm expression cracked slightly: "You fed her to mice?"

"The mouse is going to kill both of us. If I don't run, will I die with her?" Cao Jin yelled at Zhang Yunhan confidently.

At this moment, the four mice on the opposite side swarmed up and attacked Cao Jin.Cao Jin nimbly dodges an oncoming mouse.

His skill looks much better than before.

The four mice surrounded him and attacked him, Cao Jin dodged left and right, not only was not injured, but took the opportunity to take out the crystal nucleus of one of the mice.

While dealing with the mice, Cao Jin continued to speak, his voice slightly panting.

"I hid in the abandoned car next to it. Fortunately, the car still had gas. I ran for several streets but couldn't get rid of them. On the contrary, there were more and more monsters as I went to the city center. I had no choice but to drive back."

Cao Jin absorbed the newly obtained crystal nucleus, and at the same time kicked away a mouse that was trying to bite on his leg.

"I also don't understand why these mutated mice seem to be staring at me, chasing and biting them all the time. Just now I managed to shake them off and wanted to hide in. It's because you didn't open the door for me. I have no choice but to do so. smashed the window."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the window with lingering fear, and there was a fat mouse stuck on it, trying to get in: "But this is also good, the window is small, and big mice can't get in, only these small ones One can get in."

"Qianqian is my only friend." Zhang Yunhan said suddenly, and at the same time, with an axe, he slammed to death a mutant mouse that rushed over.She didn't move fast, and she didn't have much strength, but her hand holding the ax was steady, and the movement of chopping it down was like splitting a piece of firewood. The dirty blood splashed on her face. Her face, which was not considered pretty, suddenly looked a little ferocious. .

Zhang Yunhan raised the ax once, obviously attacking the mutated mouse, but it seemed that every ax fell on Cao Jin's body: "I don't blame her when she is gone, but you agreed to take her and protect her. You shouldn't have left her and ran back by yourself."

There were only two mutated mice left, and Cao Jin's pressure was greatly relieved: "Do you think I don't want to save her? Such a beautiful girl, I didn't even touch her, and she was eaten by mice. There is nothing I can do about it. die there?"

Cao Jin quickly wiped out the remaining two mice, grabbing the crystal nucleus and absorbing them.Suddenly he shuddered: "Hiss—have you tried to be a little cold?"

It was more than a little cold, Cao Jin soon felt a piercing cold from the waist down, as if he had been stuffed into a refrigerator.He lowered his head belatedly, only to realize that a strange flow of ice completely froze his body below the knees at some point.

Cao Jin immediately struggled hard, raising his hand to break the ice.But a pair of bony hands pinched his wrists at the right time, fixing them firmly on both sides, unable to move.

"What are you doing! What did you do to me?" Cao Jin shouted while struggling.

Xia Xi didn't speak, and looked at Zhang Yunhan who was on the side, her purple eyes were shining like broken stars,

It seems to be asking her, what do you want to do?

It seemed to be encouraging her: you can do whatever you want.

Zhang Yunhan didn't expect that he would awaken his supernatural ability when he was angry.She just put away the crystal nucleus of the mutated mouse, thinking that this thing is useful for supernatural beings, and maybe it can be used as a material in exchange for food in the future.

But in the process of listening to Cao Jin's sophistry, the crystal nucleus turned into a cold force and poured into her body, and Zhang Yunhan understood how to use the ability almost instantly.

Her ability is Freeze.The piercing ice on Cao Jin's body came from her handwriting.

"Throw him out. He lost Qianqian, he doesn't deserve to stay in the store." The girl who had always been taciturn expressed her appeal clearly for the first time.

"Okay." Xia Xi controlled the bone hand, dragged the frozen Cao Jin, and moved towards the window he smashed.

The mouse outside the window has recognized the reality that it cannot get in, but it did not leave, but guarded the window from a distance.Looking out of the window, one can see a mass of dark mouse shadows and bright red eyes.

Xia Xi threw Cao Jin out of the window, retracted his bone hand, and Zhang Yunhan temporarily blocked the window with ice.

The mutated mice in the distance immediately rushed over here.

"You guys are killing people." Cao Jin yelled in despair as he smashed the ice window.

Xia Xi looked at Cao Jin with a blank face, struggling and twisting against the ice like a maggot: "We didn't kill you, we just asked you to leave Sister Lin's shop, you are not welcome here. As for you outside, if you Can't survive..."

Xia Xi smiled, but her voice seemed to be soaked in ice water: "In this case, there is nothing we can do."

Cao Jin was surrounded by swarms of rats.Xia Xi turned around without giving him another look.

At this time, the store finally returned to silence, only the smell of blood was particularly strong and pungent.

"How are you?" Zhang Lin squatted in the corridor, looking after the dying Qi Xiaoxue.

Looking at the huge wound on Qi Xiaoxue's abdomen, Zhang Yunhan frowned and thought for a while, then released his supernatural power to try to stop the bleeding.

"Don't, don't waste your energy in vain." Qi Xiaoxue spat out a mouthful of blood: "I am like this, the hospital can't save me, let alone it is the end of the world."

"Actually, it's pretty good. I've been trying to figure out how to live, but I haven't been able to find the answer. Now I don't need to look for it. I can be free."

With the remaining strength, Qi Xiaoxue turned her head with difficulty: "Xia, Xia Xi—"

"I'm here." Xia Xi squatted beside Qi Xiaoxue.He was used to this kind of life and death, so he knelt down calmly: "Say."

"Actually... I lied to you. I said I don't regret it. In fact, I regretted it a long time ago." Qi Xiaoxue pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled sadly: "His original partner is a very gentle woman. The first time I saw her He felt as if he saw my mother, and I always felt sorry for her."

Zhang Lin and Zhang Yunhan showed blank expressions, not quite understanding what Qi Xiaoxue was talking about.

Xia Xi gave a light "hmm": "I see."

"You don't... know!" Qi Xiaoxue reached out and grabbed Xia Xi's clothes, leaving a few bloody handprints on the clean white T-shirt: "I have been thinking these days, if, if there is no end of the world, I Break up with him, go out and find a serious job, will it be good too. Can I find a boy as beautiful as you and talk about a real relationship. "

"I regret Xia Xi. If only I could have met you sooner. I will definitely chase you. It doesn't matter if you have no money." Qi Xiaoxue wrinkled Xia Xi's clothes.

Xia Xi glanced down, although she was uncomfortable, she didn't push away the other party's hand: "I'm afraid not, I had a boyfriend at that time."

Qi Xiaoxue giggled again: "I'm about to die, can't you coax me?"

She raised a hand with difficulty.Xia Xi noticed that she was still holding the e-cigarette she often smoked in her hand, and Xia Xi helped her bring the cigarette to her lips.Qi Xiaoxue took a breath, coughed again, and vomited blood.

The sweetness of Coca-Cola was gone, leaving only the strong smell of blood in the air.

The silver-gray cigarette stick fell to the ground with a clatter, and Qi Xiaoxue was already out of breath.

Outside the window, Cao Jin finally failed to escape from the swarm of rats, and was swarmed up and eaten up.After eating, the swarm of rats, for some reason, stared at the people in the house again, and began to make holes in the base of the wall rustling.

Listening to the tingling scratching sound, the remaining three couldn't fall asleep at all.

Xia Xi controlled the bone hand to put the mouse's body into a large garbage bag and threw it out along the glass window.With Qi Xiaoxue's body left, Xia Xi asked Zhang Lin for needles and threads, manipulated the bone hands to sew up the wound for her, and borrowed Zhang Lin's cosmetics to paint her beautiful makeup.

When Xia Xi was busy with all this, she didn't avoid the two sisters in the room.Zhang Yunhan stared at Xia Xi's flexible skeleton hands with some concern: "Is this your ability?"

"That's right." Xia Xi concentrated on arranging Qi Xiaoxue's clothes.Brush the creases of the garment with a gloved hand.His demeanor was exceptionally focused, with a kind of divine piety.

Zhang Yunhan stared at those skeleton hands for a while again: "This is different from what they said."

"Yes." Xia Xi kept moving her hands, feeling a little strange in her heart.Zhang Yunhan was very introverted before, except for Zhang Lin and Yu Qianqian, he basically didn't talk to others, but now, he dared to talk to him.

"Qianqian is my only friend in college." Zhang Yunhan said again.

Xia Xi felt even more strange in her heart.But he didn't interrupt, the girl in front of him might just need a tree hole.

So Xia Xi continued to concentrate on the work in her hand, without looking up, as if she was not listening at all.

And Zhang Yunhan just lowered his head and sat on the ground with his knees hugged, as if talking to the air: "I have been like this since I was a child. I am afraid to talk to strangers. Apart from my family, I have almost no friends."

"My personality is not pleasing at school. It's the same in college, because I don't talk, and other roommates gradually stop interacting with me, but for some reason, Qianqian is always afraid that I will be alone. Come to me again and again."

"She said, it doesn't matter if I don't want to talk, just listen to her. She knows a lot of school gossip, so she can tell me."

"She was liked by a lot of boys at school, and she always stuffed them with me when she received a lot of snack gifts and she couldn't return them. She thought those people were too naive, and said she liked mature, career-oriented uncles..."

"She's not very bright, maybe she's not very kind, and she's a little bit timid. After the disaster, she's been very scared and on tenterhooks."

"I told her to live together, but I didn't protect her well. I should stop her. Cao Jin is not her type at all. She is an idiot...I should stop her."

Xia Xi heard a very soft sob, he tilted his head and looked over, tears hit the floor, making a soft patter, like the sound of raindrops falling.

Xia Xi stopped what she was doing, and sent a box of tissues to Zhang Yunhan with a clatter of skeleton hands.

"Each person is responsible for her own choice, that is the path she chose, not your fault."

Zhang Yunhan didn't speak, and quietly took away a tissue.

After Xia Xi disposed of Qi Xiaoxue's body and asked Zhang Lin's opinion, she put her on the sofa in the restaurant.

Then, he got up and went to the window to check the movement of the mutated mouse.

"Why do they keep staring at us?" Zhang Lin also stood in front of the window, looking worriedly at the squeaking mice outside the ice window.

"Maybe it's because of supernatural powers. The energy required for evolution is progressive. Previously, these mutated mice evolved by eating ordinary people, but now they may need to eat supernatural beings." Xia Xi thought about it seriously: "Cao Jin used to have supernatural powers. Or, so the mutated mouse chased him, and now the target..."

As if thinking of something, Xia Xi looked in Zhang Yunhan's direction: "Maybe we can try."

When Xia Xi said try, he meant to let Zhang Yunhan walk to the window.The mice around outside seemed to smell the smell, and immediately became restless.

"Go to the gate again." Xia Xi said.

Zhang Yunhan didn't know why, so he walked obediently to the gate.

An astonishing scene happened, the group of mutated mice immediately chased Zhang Yunhan and moved towards the gate.Start banging on the crumbling door panel.

Zhang Yunhan was so frightened that he ran back immediately.The mouse also came back and continued to dig holes.

Xia Xi concluded: "It seems to be. These mice are attracted by supernatural powers."

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Lin lost her mind and let the mice continue to gnaw on them. It took less than a day for them to punch holes into the room.

But it is impossible for her to sacrifice her sister in order to save her life.

Xia Xi pondered for a moment: "Maybe I can ask for help."

"Who do I ask for help?" Zhang Lin asked.

"Big black."

The skeleton hand slipped through the open ice window.All the way to the residential building not far away.

Not long after, a huge black cat appeared at the door of Sweet House. If you look carefully, you can see two white skeletons hanging on top of his head.

"Meow!" With the coercion of a natural enemy, Dahei rushed to the window, quickly and ruthlessly grabbed a mouse's belly with his claws, took out the crystal nucleus inside, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Squeak!" Probably due to the large number and similar size, these mice did not retreat quickly, but instead turned around and surrounded Dahei.

"Roar!" Dahei seemed to be irritated by the mutated mouse's actions, the hair on his back stood upside down, and the pupils of his eyes were astonishingly bright in the dark night.I saw that the claws were like lightning, and every time it attacked, a mouse would be killed under the claws.

The mutated mice survived for a while, and gradually realized that after they had grown in size and increased in number, they were still no match for natural enemies. They squeaked and fled away into the distance.

Dahei dug out the crystal nuclei from the mouse one by one, but only ate half, and the remaining half was neatly piled up on the window sill, put away his fierce appearance, licked his paws, and let out a soft cry: "Meow -"

"Dahei, take it all away, this is your trophy." Zhang Lin reached out the window and touched Dahei's head.

"Meow." Dahei stubbornly pushed the spar into the window sill, touched Zhang Lin's hand with the tip of his nose, turned and left.

Xia Xi retracted the skeleton hand bone.

In the invisible darkness, his face was a little pale, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead, which was caused by pain.

It is a bit difficult for him to control the bones of the hand from a long distance, and the backlash is even more distant. He can even feel the flesh on the tip of his left finger, withering and falling off little by little.

After a restless night, when the faint morning light penetrated through the window, the three of them felt as if they were separated from each other.

The street seemed to have gone through a fierce battle, and there were broken limbs and corpses everywhere, including human beings and mutant creatures.

Xia Xi went to the bathroom to wash her face, only to find that the water from the tap turned yellow and cloudy.

Fortunately, a lot of water was stored in the container in advance. In a short time, there is no shortage of clean water.

Zhang Lin yawned and prepared breakfast for the two of them. Zhang Yunhan turned on the radio as usual, but did not receive a signal.

Jinglan's warnings about the future came true one by one.Survival has become an extremely difficult test.

The next day, more and more mutated monsters came to the door one after another. The three of them took turns to rest and sleep, but they all lacked sleep.Especially Xia Xi and Zhang Yunhan, they almost have to go to the top whenever there is a fight.Zhang Lin felt sorry for the two of them, but couldn't do much to help them, so she could only use the limited ingredients to prepare delicious food for them in different ways.

After only one day, the three of them were almost unable to hold on. After some discussion, they planned to venture into the shelter.

Before setting off in the evening, Xia Xi's entire hand had turned into a skeleton because of backlash, and the bandages couldn't hold it anymore.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lin found out, and nervously stepped forward to hold his wrist, and saw a small piece of white bone protruding from the bandage.

"What's wrong with your hand?" She stretched out her hand to pull the bandage on Xia Xi's hand as if thinking of something.

Xia Xi was a little flustered for no reason, just like when she was playful and hurt herself when she was caught by her mother when she was a child. She hid her hands behind her back and argued: "It's okay, it's nothing, I, I just played around."

"Then change back quickly." Zhang Lin firmly held Xia Xi's wrist, preventing him from shrinking back.

"..." Xia Xi struggled twice but failed to get back, when he suddenly found a hot tear hitting his bandage.

Xia Xi became honest all of a sudden, and didn't dare to hide anymore, she stood stiffly on the spot: "Sister Lin?"

"Hurry up and change back." Zhang Lin said in a crying voice.She carefully unwrapped Xia Xi's bandage, crying as she unwrapped it: "This hurts so much."

"It doesn't hurt." Xia Xi could only continue to lie dryly.

Zhang Lin wiped away tears: "Is it the price you paid for using that ability?"

"That's it."

"Will it continue to get worse if you use it again? Will it turn your whole body into bones? Will you...will you die?"

"It won't get worse, I won't turn into bones, and I won't die." Xia Xi coaxed Zhang Lin, saying that except that it was true that I wouldn't die, everything else was a lie.

"You're lying." Zhang Lin sniffed, but her eyes dropped disobediently again: "What should I do, you want to save your life, and I can't let you use your abilities, and I can't protect you..."

Xia Xi was a little helpless by Zhang Lin's crying, and could only explain over and over again: "I didn't lie to you, this is really okay, I won't die, and this can be recovered in the future, it will not hurt me, really."

Zhang Lin nodded, still crying.

In the end, it was Zhang Yunhan who interrupted the two of them: "Sister, let's hurry up, an invading colony of mutated ants appeared in the kitchen, I temporarily frozen them with ice, but there are too many of them, I'm afraid it won't last long, we must immediately leave here."

"Ah." Zhang Lin just wiped away her tears and raised her head: "I packed all the food and drinking water."

Xia Xi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the backpack Zhang Lin gave him, and put biscuits, cakes, ham, canned food, mineral water, and even two apples in it.Put in the clothes you took earlier.Walking to the door, Xia Xi remembered Jing Lan's previous phone call again, saying that she was coming to pick him up, hesitated for a moment, took out the phone from her arms, typed a line, took a screenshot to make a wallpaper, then turned off the phone and put it on the counter .

"Let's go."

Zhang Lin looked at the facilities in the cake shop with nostalgia, and instinctively wanted to stay here for a while.Feel a little more, the breath of life before the end of the world.But now it is clear that the time has come to have to go.

Zhang Yunhan pried open the wooden boards on the gate and opened the shutter door.

The setting sun shone into the house along the door frame and sprinkled on several people, bringing a bit of late summer heat.

The streets exude a rotten smell, and there are moldy and rotting corpses everywhere, insects crawling around and mutated creatures hidden in it.Xia Xi was in it, and it was even difficult to distinguish their number and location.

They searched nearby and found an abandoned motorcycle with a full gas tank and a key in the lock, but its owner had turned into a corpse and lay aside.

The motorcycle seat is very long, and three people can sit in a crowded place.

"Let me drive." Zhang Lin volunteered to sit in the front: "I am familiar with the road to the villa."

She stretched her hand towards the handle, and suddenly let out a soft "hiss".

"What's wrong, sister?" Zhang Yunhan nervously leaned forward to look, and found that Zhang Lin's hands were full of blood.

"It's all right." Zhang Lin shook her off indifferently.
