bayonet and rose

Henry Deng approached Linzi Prison affectionately, and vomited bitterly: "When I woke up, my surroundings became like this. After walking for a long time, I didn't see a single person. There was no signal on my mobile phone, and I couldn't get in touch with the outside world at all. I thought I had arrived. Hell, luckily I met you... What's going on? Scared me to death!"

Lin Ziju looked at Henry Deng from the beginning to the end, there was nothing unusual, and he could feel the heat from his body when he approached him.Pretending to comfort him, Lin Zijuan patted him on the back, "I don't know what's going on, let's take refuge in an open place first?"

"Yeah." Henry Deng didn't object. Although Lin Zijuan was younger than him, he seemed to be more reliable than himself.

After giving Henry a hand, they were about to leave when a deep voice suddenly came from around them. This voice was played by something like a loudspeaker. It was very loud and not very clear with the electric current. The sound came from all directions, and it was difficult to distinguish the specific direction.

"All nine passers are in place, and the preselection is about to begin—repeat, the nine passers are already in place, and the preselection is about to begin, all passers, please get ready, and the rules of the stage will be announced in 3 minutes."

After hearing these few words, all three of them were stunned for a moment. They didn't understand what it meant, what it meant to be a barrier breaker, and what the preselection was for.

The voice appeared abruptly and disappeared so confusingly that they couldn't ask in detail.

For a while, no one spoke, the security guard and Henry Deng subconsciously went to see Lin Zi Prison.

Lin Zi Prison didn't care about the sight of the surroundings. All the weird things they saw fell to the ground when the earthquake happened. The appearance of this voice clearly proved that the environment they were in now was unusual, and it had even subverted them for many years. come to know.

"Mr. Lin... What, what does this mean?" the security guard asked stumblingly.

Lin Zijuan shook his head, he didn't know anything about the ruins, even Lin Zijuan, who was omnipotent in the shopping mall, seemed extremely small in this ruins.

Three minutes passed quickly amidst the silence of the three, and the voice sounded again, "Hello, all passers-by. It is now 3:[-] p.m. Beijing time. The status of the nine passers-by has been reconfirmed...confirmation is complete."

"Rules are now released, first-level rules: all passers-by must find five dead people among you and eliminate them. The method of elimination is to snatch the bayonet from the hands of the dead. You can clear the level. The preliminary selection is about to begin, and all passers-by, please be prepared."

……

The people who didn't know what to say would have nothing to say. The words "weed out the dead" had such an impact on them that no matter which direction they thought about, they could only feel horror.

As the sound fell, three things suddenly fell from midair and landed right in front of them.

The three of them went over together and found that there were three identical bayonets, which were obviously distributed according to the head.

The way the knife appeared was so weird that the three of them didn't dare to pick it up easily. In the end, Lin Ziyu bent down and swept it up and handed it to the other two.

According to the meaning of the rules, there are five dead people among the nine passers-by. The security guard took the bayonet and glanced at the two people beside him, and asked a little awkwardly, "Could it be that there are five zombies nearby?"

Henry Deng stared at a point in the distance in a daze, and frowned after hearing what the security guard said, "We haven't even figured out the basic situation, so you have to follow this so-called rule? Maybe it's just the effect someone made through the radio."

There is something strange in the tone.

Although he didn't say that the security guard was stupid, he expressed the implied meaning almost clearly, the security guard's face changed, and he wanted to refute him, but he still held back.

Lin Ziqian was playing with the bayonet. It was very heavy and sharp. It should be a controlled product that ordinary people cannot easily buy. He interrupted the aggressive Deng Henry, and said calmly: "No one has such a big trick."

Lin Zijuan secretly glanced at Henry Deng. Although he didn't know what the dead people in the ruins looked like, they probably weren't zombies in movies and TV dramas... At least Henry Deng, who seemed to be dead, didn't look much like a normal person. different.

"Let's go, let's find an open place first." Lin Ziqian said, the other two had no objection, and the three continued to walk towards the west city in silence.

Right now besides the aftershocks, there are six passers-by of unknown origin also in the city, no one can predict what will happen after they meet, and the place where they are right now is full of ruins, in case anyone believes Rules or more information, hiding and attacking them secretly, the possibility of successfully avoiding the three of them is unlikely, so the first thing is to avoid being in an environment that is easy to be attacked by surprise.

As he walked, Lin Ziqian couldn't help but think that even if he was in an open space, it didn't mean that he was safe.What are the remaining six passers-by? Will anyone have the ability to surpass the threshold of normal people and be able to guard against such potential threats...

He didn't doubt the authenticity of the rules too much, because there were too many abnormal places, the sudden earthquake, the ruins without people after the earthquake, the rescue that had been missing for a long time, the security guard with amnesia, and Henry Deng who came back from the dead...

The information he has right now is too little, and even Lin Ziqian can't draw any meaningful judgment even if he thinks about his headache.

The original concentrated buildings in Xicheng District were mainly parks, universities, gymnasiums and other facilities. It was far away from the city center and there were not many high-rise buildings. In the past twenty years or so, it was even a suburban village. Later, it was moved. The three universities used to be a university town, and the surrounding area gradually became lively.

After the earthquake, all the buildings collapsed, but because the site was large and open, they found a suitable place to stay easily.

This place used to be a university basketball court. It occupies a large area and has a wide view, and you can sit on the basketball hoop that is lying down.

In addition, there is an artificial lake around... Maybe you can rely on this lake to replenish water when you have no choice.

The three tacitly took a few glances at the artificial lake and examined the water quality. The water is naturally unclean, and there is nothing to look forward to.

The three of them have different incomes, but before today, none of them thought that one day they would have to drink dirty lake water.

"What do we eat? Are there any fish in the lake?" asked Henry Dunn.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when the rules were announced, and it may be almost six o'clock now. Lin Zijuan hadn't eaten anything other than breakfast, and breakfast was just a bowl of light millet porridge, which couldn't help him feel hungry at all.

Looking at the security guard and Henry Deng, it was obvious that they were also starving.

"Yes, but not many." Lin Zijuan replied.

Henry Deng just said it casually, but Lin Zijuan actually answered him, "How do you know?"

"My university belongs to this school," Lin Zijuan explained briefly, "I remember the location of the supermarket, we can go and have a look."

It's just that I don't think there's much hope. Lin Ziqian swallowed the half sentence and didn't say it.

This idea is much better than going to the lake to catch fish, so no one would object to it.

Lin Zijuan led the other two and walked towards the supermarket according to his memory. He has graduated for many years, but he just came back for the school celebration some time ago. The main purpose is to donate to the college. A circle, the name is to feel the development of the school and recall the past.

The supermarket was not far away, and when we got closer, there was no surprise that there was another pile of ruins. The three of them stood still and none of them suggested digging up the ruins to find food.

It's not like they haven't seen the ruins of the shop on the way, so they didn't dare to approach easily, worrying about what might happen if the ruins collapsed.

According to Lin Ziyu, this supermarket has only one floor, and it will be less difficult to remove the roof of the upper floor.It's just that they don't have tools, not even gloves, so it's not easy to dig.

Henry Deng had noticed Lin Zijuan's hand a long time ago, and he was startled when he looked at it bloody and bloody. Fortunately, Lin Zijuan didn't yell as if he was a normal person.

Lin Zijuan circled around the ruins of the supermarket, and finally chose a location and pointed with his finger, "There should be food containers under here."

When he returned to school, Lin Ziqian went to this supermarket to buy a kind of bean cake. This bean cake was processed and sold by a nearby bakery in cooperation with the supermarket. Lin Ziqian liked this kind of thing very much when he was studying. A day in the library.

After a few years, I found that there were still some for sale in the school, so Lin Zijuan bought a box.

"Are you sure?" Henry Deng asked worriedly.

"Ah."

Lin Zijuan didn't explain, he walked up to the ruins first, chose a fulcrum to put the steel bars on, and squinted at the other two before exerting force, "You can go far away, lest the real collapse affect you."

The security guard woke up like a dream, Lin Ziyu's actions were too sudden, he jumped onto the ruins without saying a word, he couldn't keep up with the big guy's train of thought!But after figuring out what Lin Zi Prison was going to do, the security guard followed Lin Zi Prison's route and set foot on the ruins without hesitation, saying proudly, "Mr. Lin, I'm coming too!"

The ruins staged a link of true love in the world. Deng Henry was completely unmoved, and he had no idea of ​​​​following him. He really stepped back a few steps according to Lin Ziqian's words, and made sure that even if the ruins collapsed in a fancy way, it would not affect him. Only then stopped.

Lin Zijuan didn't even look at Deng Henry, and after reminding the security guard to be careful, he began to use prying to shatter the shattered roof.

The two of them were busy working together with their heads sullen, and the more they moved, the more unbalanced the security guard felt, and he straightened up and gave Deng Henry a hard look.

Henry Deng didn't pay attention to the security guard at all, and only regarded the other party as an insignificant fly flying around. He kept staring at Lin Ziqian, "Mr. Lin, are you finished with the project in hand? Why do you know this university so well?" , I even know where the goods are placed in a small supermarket.”

There was unabashed suspicion in his tone.

Lin Ziyu stopped digging and chuckled: "It is true that Mr. Deng is not free. After bankruptcy, Mr. Deng should have nothing to do except avoid debts."

After Lin Zijuan finished speaking, he jumped off the ruins, and regardless of what Henry Deng thought, he turned to greet the security guards, "Come down, there's nothing inside."

"Why not? We have already dug so deep, and we can dig it out again..." The security guard was at a loss, reluctant to give up the fruit of half a day's labor.

"There will be no more digging." Lin Zijuan said with certainty, "Even tens of millions of people can disappear out of thin air, let alone a pile of lifeless food."

"Then what should we do?" the security guard asked stupidly, still holding a glimmer of hope in his heart, "rescue will come, right?"

"I'm afraid not." Lin Ziqian said, they had no way of knowing what was going on outside the ruins, but they had already reached this point and there was no reason to pin their hopes on others.

The security guard's lips trembled. He was eager to hear some words from Linzi Prison that could make people feel at ease and deceive themselves, but Linzi Prison had long accepted the status quo.

"Boss Lin," Henry Deng interrupted their conversation, "Why do I feel that you have been instilling in us the idea that we are trapped in a desperate situation and have no way out, leading us to believe in the so-called rules."

Lin Ziyu and Deng Henry looked at each other at a distance of about ten steps. Both of them were in a state of distress and exhaustion. Deng Henry's attitude was obviously suspicious and resistant, compared to Lin Ziyu, he seemed much calmer.

"Then what does Mr. Deng want?" Lin Ziqian asked.

"Leave the city." Henry Deng paused, not allowing himself to miss any change in Linzi Prison's expression, "Why didn't you mention leaving the city? We have all walked to the West District, which is not far from the outskirts of the city. There is no need to stay and obey. This so-called rule."

"You can try it."

To Henry Deng's surprise, Lin Ziqian didn't refute him at all, and only spoke so tepidly after a long silence.

Henry Deng: "..."

He still wanted to continue talking, but suddenly someone rushed out with a loud shout, and rushed straight towards Henry Deng!

There was no cover where they were, and the place where this person jumped out was not close to them, but Henry Deng's body was round and lacked exercise, and he was caught off guard, and he had no other effective defense except subconsciously retreating. The person fell down and hit the ground heavily.

This person appeared too suddenly, and by the time the security guards reacted, this person had already pinned Henry Deng to the ground and restrained him. First, he grabbed Henry Deng's bayonet.

The security guard hurried up to pull it off. The man resisted desperately, refusing to let Henry go, yelling and cursing: "Get out of here!"

The strength of the security guard was obviously superior. It didn't take long for the man to be dragged down by the security guard, his hands were cut behind his back and he pressed the ground, and the bayonet he snatched flew out.

Henry Deng got up with a gloomy expression on his face. He didn't have time to clean up the filth on his body. Will there be a new layer of dust and dirt on his body? What enmity do I have with you?!"

The person lying on the ground didn't answer Deng Henry's question, but just stared at him with anticipation in his eyes.

Henry Deng was taken aback by this lunatic, and his tongue got stuck and he didn't continue to curse.

Lin Zi Prison, who had been silent by the side, waited for them to calm down before picking up the bayonet that flew to his feet and returning it to Henry Deng, "Your bayonet."

Henry Deng was taken aback, and silently took the bayonet from Linzi prison.

According to the rules, the way to eliminate the dead is to take the bayonet from the passer-by... It is not difficult to imagine that the purpose of this sneak attacker is to eliminate Deng Henry, and the expectation in his eyes is to wait to see whether Deng Henry will be eliminated.

In the end, nothing happened...Of course nothing will happen, the rule is to eliminate the dead, but he is still alive, Henry Deng thought with a "tsk" in disdain.
