Zombie City

Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin used two iron hooks to hook the rotting corpse and drag it from the smelly water to the stone platform on both sides of the sewer.

From the ground, the sewers are nothing but vertical shafts downward, and the space inside should be narrow and cramped.

In fact, the same is true. In the sewers and wells in some communities, the space inside can only allow people to crawl inside.

However, these sewers are criss-crossed in the underground network, and most of them converge into the city’s main sewers.

As the main sewer of the city, it not only allows people to walk upright underneath, but is also wide enough to allow a car to pass through.

Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin, after getting the work assigned by their superiors, quickly entered the sewer from the well and well-trained.

People who can get a job in the last days will do their best to work, no one thinks about being lazy.

Because behind you, it’s not just a few dozen people who are staring at this position. There may be as many as hundreds of people. If you don’t want to be, there will always be a more suitable person to replace you.

Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin are similar in age, one is 39 years old and the other is 37 years old. In the last days, one was a decoration worker and the other was a truck driver, but these were not very useful after the end of the world.

It was the luck of both of them to get this dirty and tiring job.

The two of them searched for a blockage in the underground, and they searched for more than 40 minutes before they found the corner where the tributary of the sewer merged into the main road, where the body was stuck.

The corpse can't just stay in the sewer like this. They have to carry the corpse out with a body bag and take it to the centralized cremation point for cremation.

As the first safety zone in Kyoto, these systems must be as complete as possible to minimize risks.

Hook the corpse with a hook and put it into a simple body bag. There is a lot of sewage and filth pouring into the congested sewer, and the drain can be filled up and overflowing on the platforms on both sides.

However, Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin have long been accustomed to this. They are afraid of dirty and smelly, but they can't do this job.

"Hey! Old Li! Take a break, now I must go somewhere else when I go out, I have something good!"

It was Zhao Xuebin who was talking. With a mysterious smile, he fumbled for a dry cigarette rolled in a field in his arms. This was a half-pack of cigarettes he had picked up in the sewer a few days ago.

After Zhao Xuebin picked it up, he crushed all these cigarettes and dried them in the sun. Although there was always a sewer smell, there was still some tobacco taste.

Cigarettes are now an absolute luxury. They are all controlled in the rich and in the hands of the rich and powerful. Even if the ordinary survivors are lucky enough to get a half and a half, they must find a way to replace it with food. No one is so stupid to eat for themselves hungry.

Looking at the homemade dry tobacco rolls that Zhao Xuebin took out, Li Guangcai's eyes widened in shock:

"I'll go! Lao Zhao, how did you get this stuff! You can!

However, wouldn’t it be better to sell, enough for you and your two daughters-in-law to eat for a few more days! "

Zhao Xuebin ignored it, took a sip after igniting it, and handed it to Li Guangcai, who was eager.

Li Guangcai smiled and couldn't wait to take a sip, his expression of intoxication became a bit strange...

"Um.... Is it because we are in the sewer? How can I feel a stinky smell..."

Zhao Xuebin lightly took over the homemade dry tobacco from Li Guangcai's hand, and after taking a sip, he said:

"Come here! Otherwise, why don't you think I'm going to sell it!"

Let’s not say whether I’ll be beaten to death if I sell it. Even if I can sell it to people who are willing to buy it, I won’t be able to pay a good price! "

Li Guangcai nodded, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Xuebin.

As if suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Xuebin retracted his hand and looked at Li Guangcai with a smile and asked:

"Hey? I said Lao Li, I can't see it!

You are still an old man of Mensao, and you have found a little girl who is twenty-two and three-year-old.

Tsk tut.....Tell me, what's the taste! "

Li Guangcai's face was embarrassed, and he replied straightforwardly:

"Old Zhao, we are all a lot of age, you don't need to be so hungry!

Besides, things are not what you think!

Xiaoyue’s boyfriend and a fifty-year-old rich woman in the rich area left, and threw Xiaoyue in our slum area alone. When I found her that day, he was already starving to death and was almost going. Do that kind of business.

The two of us happened to work overtime that day. I gave her a few more buns, and I gave her all. After meeting her, she said that in order to repay me, she would live with me. I think he is a pitiful girl, and I don’t have one now. The family agreed to her! "

Zhao Xuebin curled his lips. He still knew what Lao Li's character was. After all, the two had been working together for a while.

At this moment, Li Guangcai suddenly raised his hand, and pricked his ears to listen.

"Hush! Listen! What sound!"

Zhao Xuebin quickly put away his smile, pinched out the dry cigarette in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

In case they are found to be lazy, their days will be over if they lose their jobs.

After two people waited for a while holding their breath, they heard no other sounds except for a few soft clicks.

The two looked at each other, and they were relieved with a knowing smile.

"Let's go, if this is opened, it would be too wrong for both of you!"

While talking, Li Guangcai reached out and grabbed one end of the body bag, and walked towards the nearest sinking well with Zhao Xuebin.

Because they have been working for a period of time, and these sewer cleaners all have their own separate working areas, memorizing the sewer lines in their area is a knowledge point that they must memorize clearly even by rote.

As the two of them progressed, apart from the sound of their footsteps and breathing in the sewer, they could still hear the irregular clicking sound.

It's like a naughty child is using a metal stick to knock the wall of the sewer down and down.

Twenty meters ahead was an intersection. The sound came from one of the other three directions. After excluding the possibility of the opposite, there were only two directions left and right.

Seeing that the two of them took a few steps forward, Li Guangcai, who was walking in the front, stopped, because the stopping and raising of his hands were performed almost at the same time, which caused Zhao Xuebin, who was walking behind, to lose his footing. Almost crooked into the sewer on the side.

Without waiting for Zhao Xuebin to speak and ask, Li Guangcai turned his head and put his hands on his lips, making a silent gesture, and turned off Zhao Xuebin's headlights and his own headlights.

The surrounding area was plunged into darkness with no fingers in sight. Under such circumstances, let alone work, it was impossible to walk or discern directions.

The sound of irregular metal rubbing the walls of the sewer became clearer and clearer, and at the same time Li Guangcai heard the strange sound of footsteps of varying depth, like a lame man walking on the wall of the sewer in the dark.

Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin had both met before, and the survivors who ran into the sewer to try their luck were not strange, but they had never encountered a guy who ran down below without a light source.

I can't see my fingers, let alone looking for something to eat, it's a question of whether I can find myself.

Li Guangcai is not a native of Kyoto. He migrated with the former safety zone. Before going to the local safety zone on his own, in order to survive in order to reach the safety zone alive, he also developed a good survival ability and an intuition about danger. .

The intersection ahead in the dark gave Li Guangcai a very bad feeling, causing his heartbeat to speed up inexplicably.

The sound of varying degrees of footsteps got closer and closer, until I heard the deep gurgling sound...

Li Guangcai's hair exploded directly, which reminded him of some previous experiences.

No need to verify his guess, Li Guangcai grabbed Zhao Xuebin behind him backhand, whispered two words in a husky and trembling voice:

"Into the water!"

Immediately after not giving Zhao Xuebin time to react, Li Guangcai had already dropped the body bag decisively and jumped into the sewer to the side, ignoring the filthy things inside, lay down and dived into it.

Zhao Xuebin didn't know why Lao Li did this, but he knew that Lao Li definitely couldn't suddenly get nervous, so the survival instinct allowed him to follow Lao Li and dive into the smelly sewer...
