doomsday survival

Chapter 161 Trapped in the darkroom
Shi Jian and the others hurriedly rushed over with their guns to meet the women and children.Looking behind them again, a large wave of zombies was approaching rapidly.

The zombies came from the HG urban area. If Shi Jian hadn't rested, he would have encountered them not far away.

This wave of zombies must have at least three to five hundred.Taking advantage of the good weather, they went out together for an outing and walked on the highway in a mighty way.Suddenly, there was a smell in front of them that made them salivate. It was a long-lost delicacy, which is owned by human beings.They immediately rushed over like sharks smelling blood, and they still didn't forget to keep their mouths shut so as not to scare away the food delivered to the door.

No matter how careful the zombies were, they were discovered by the vigilant Xia Qing when they turned a corner.She immediately asked all the girls to throw down the pots and pans and retreat to the service area below, while she retreated and shot to stop them.

With Shi Jian not around, the car couldn't start. Xia Qing's choice was already the best plan, at least there were still houses below for defense.

Seeing so many zombies, Shi Jian was also taken aback.Although the zombies hadn't reached the car yet, it was too late to get in the car and escape, so they had to retreat down.

Taking a look at the dilapidated houses around him, Shi Jian didn't even feel like crying, his whole heart was icy cold.

Do you want to escape to the shelter forest behind the service area?Shi Jian didn't think that was a good idea.That's just to let everyone delay for a while, even if they can open a distance at first, but when their physical strength is exhausted, it is the moment when everyone is trapped in the stomach of zombies.

The situation was too severe for Shi Jian to think too much, the zombies were getting closer and closer.A few people don't even dare to fire more guns now. After all, most of the bullets are in the car, and they only carry a dozen magazines with them.

"Back up!" Shi Jian reluctantly gave the order, and if he could hide for a moment, it would be a moment.

Everyone lost their sense of proportion now. Hearing Shi Jian's order, they hurriedly ran back, preparing to climb over the fence of the service area and enter the shelter forest.

When they passed the gas station, Shi Jian suddenly stopped, and he shouted: "Quick, enter the underground oil depot!"

The door of the oil depot was originally locked, but it was destroyed by Shi Jian and the others when they searched just now. Although the space inside is not large, there is no problem in accommodating the dozen or so people.

Shi Jian opened the door of the oil depot, and everyone entered it one after another. Shi Jian called out to Xiaomeng Xiaowei who was running in the distance, and when they entered, he immediately closed the door tightly, and everyone entered the darkness .

Fortunately, there is also a latch inside the oil depot, so you don't have to worry about the door not being closed tightly.Just as Shi Jian fumbled to lock the door, the sound of zombies smashing the door came from outside.

The atmosphere in the oil depot became very oppressive. Everyone was so nervous that they clenched their fists and held their breath, secretly praying that the door was strong enough to not be destroyed by zombies.

The oil depot is an important place. In order to prevent accidents, this door is designed to be extremely strong. Even after 50 years of wind and rain, it still firmly guards this square inch of land.

Although the zombies outside are very powerful, they have no wisdom after all. They only know how to smash in, but they don't know how to pull outward. Otherwise, they may really open the door.

There was a cry of a child in the darkness. It turned out that Anna's one-year-old son was so frightened to cry because of the darkness and the screams of the zombies.

Like a contagious zombie virus, the crying spread little by little.First came the three little girls, Xia Rou, Bella and Lilia, then the mother of the child, and finally all the women cried, with a rough man's voice vaguely mixed in.

"Andre! Why are you crying? A big man imitating our women and children, are you ashamed?" Xia Rou recognized that the voice was Andre's, and immediately stopped crying and reprimanded her.

Andre's crying stopped abruptly. What he was most afraid of was this little aunt. The kick that kicked his thigh wound was still fresh in his memory.Hearing Xia Rou's scolding, he immediately stopped crying, changed the subject in embarrassment, and said, "I'm afraid we will be suffocated to death."

"It's okay," Shi Jian replied, "There are ventilation facilities here."

"Oh," Andre responded in a low voice, but immediately asked again, "Will zombies crawl in through the air duct again?"

Shi Jian glared at Andre's direction, and immediately realized that he couldn't see his expression at all, so he said angrily: "This is not an arsenal, how can there be such a big ventilation channel!"

Andre mumbled, not knowing what to say, and groped for a place to sit down.

"Sigh, we have become turtles in the urn." Feng Kuang sighed.

"That can't be helped, it's better than not being able to run away and let the zombies catch it." Shi Jian said helplessly.

"Then what should we do, we can't stay here forever." Feng Chen asked hesitantly.

"Wait, when the sky clears, the zombies should retreat." Feng Kuang said.

"Yeah, now it's up to us who can rely on whom." After finishing speaking, Shi Jian took out his pipe, wanting to smoke a cigarette, but wanted to get up in the oil depot, so he had to put it away again.

Time passed little by little, and the zombies still didn't stop smashing the door, but the door opened outwards, and they couldn't break it, so they could only do futile work.

Seeing that the zombie hadn't opened the door after smashing it for so long, everyone felt relieved and found a place to sit down.The three mothers and Xia Qing began to coax the four children, and the other women stopped crying and talked quietly together.

Shi Jian and the men were not as capable of adjusting their mentality at any time as the women were. They were still watching the door nervously, and the guns in their hands had never been put down.

I don't know how long it took, Shi Jian suddenly heard a "grunt" sound, and he didn't know who was hungry.Only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and he was also hungry.

"Damn it, blind that pig for nothing." Shi Jian scolded angrily.

"Yes, braised pork. It's a pity that it got into the stomach of the zombie." Feng Kuang joked.

When everyone heard about the food, they all felt that their stomachs were empty and their hunger was unbearable.

Shi Jian pressed the light on his watch, checked the time, and found that it was only after seven o'clock, and it was only over an hour since they came in.He swallowed, and said: "Be patient, when the zombies are gone, let's go out and have a good meal."

In fact, the most unbearable thing is not hunger, but thirst.As time passed, everyone felt thirsty and their lips became a little dry.They desperately swallowed down their saliva, but they became more and more thirsty.

Shi Jian heard the sound of swallowing saliva constantly ringing in his ears, and hurriedly said: "Don't swallow your saliva, it will make you thirstier."

But it didn't work at all, people always swallowed when they were thirsty, this was a natural reaction, even Shi Jian couldn't avoid it.

At this time, Xia Rou said from the side: "Let's take a look, I have a lot of fruits here." After speaking, she took out her mobile phone and called up the Fruit Ninja game from it.

Human instinct is to fear darkness and yearn for light.After the light of the mobile phone dispelled the darkness, everyone felt more at ease, and gathered around to watch Xia Rou flexibly cut the fruit.From time to time, I still comment on which fruit is delicious, and when I see a banana and pineapple that I have never seen before, I have to ask what it is.

Shi Jian and Feng Kuang looked at each other, and they both said secretly: "Young girl is not bad, she actually knows how to quench thirst by wishing for plum blossoms. But when did she bring her mobile phone?"

They didn't know that after Xiaomeng and Xiaowei were taken back by Xia Qing, Xia Rou was strictly forbidden by her sister to approach them, and she took down her phone to play with them out of interest.

Quenching the thirst with plum blossoms can't solve the real thirst. Shi Jian even wants the urinating person to collect the urine.But considering that there is nothing to pack, I gave up.

The battery of the mobile phone is low. Xia Rou played for more than two hours, and the oil depot fell into darkness again.

Hunger, darkness, hesitation, and fear tortured the souls of the Xing'an tribe all the time, making them almost lost in confusion.

"Are we going to survive?" someone whispered in the darkness, a woman.

"Yes, as long as the weather clears, the zombies will definitely leave." Shi Jian said with certainty.At this time, he must give everyone confidence.

"It's sunny? How long will it take? One day? Two days? Or a month!" The woman yelled loudly, as if she was crazy.

Shi Jian frowned, he couldn't understand Mao Zi's words behind him, but from the woman's tone, it could be heard that she was extremely dissatisfied with the current situation.

"It's Vika." Feng Chen who was beside Shi Jian said, and then translated her words to Shi Jian.

"It won't be that long, just these two days." Shi Jian thought about it for a while, and in order not to cause more commotion, he decided to put comfort first, and said in a calm tone.

"Vika! Pay attention to the way you speak!" Andre shouted from the side.

"What should I pay attention to? Now there is no water and no food. When you can't bear it anymore, will you kill me to satisfy your hunger?" After Vika shouted, he burst into tears.

Shi Jian said righteously: "Don't worry about this question, the people of our Xing'an tribe will never do that kind of thing! Have you forgotten the training at the beginning? We can give each other our backs Comrades!"

"How can we survive without food and drink!" Vika asked excitedly.

Shi Jian was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, I will kill Xiaomeng and Xiaowei." His tone was full of deep reluctance and deep sadness.

If it really comes to that point, Shi Jian still wants to save people's lives, even if he single-handedly raised Xiaomeng and Xiaowei, he has no choice but to give up.

"What about after that?" Vika asked reluctantly.

"If the zombies haven't receded, then everyone can die together, but I absolutely don't allow cannibalism to happen in the tribe!" Shi Jian said loudly.

"But, I don't want to die, uh..." Vika burst into tears.

"No one wants to die, but no one can live forever." Shi Jian said lightly.

From then on, no one brought up this topic again. Everyone was waiting silently, and slowly fell asleep in the midst of hunger and poverty.

"Will I eat people to survive?" Shi Jian, who was still awake, asked himself silently.
