April 14, 2019, the ninth day the survivors entered the library. A participant group consisting of some of the survivors decided to begin cleaning the fifth floor of the library.
The richest man Miao stood in the middle of the line holding a sharpened mop stick, with cold sweat on his forehead, and his thighs would shake convulsively after a while.
The courier Li Cheng smiled at him: "Brother Miao, don't be nervous, zombies are not that scary, they don't run as fast as we do, and they are unresponsive, as long as you aim carefully, you can catch them like you would catch a silly rabbit. Besides, Mr. Shen is still here, I have followed Mr. Shen to clean up three times, and I will follow Mr. Shen’s instructions closely later, and there will be no problems.” The participant who was bitten before was because he did not After listening to the persuasion, seeing a pile of snacks on the table, he hurried forward, only to be bitten by the zombie hiding behind the curtain.
Li Cheng's words were immediately recognized by the other participants: "Don't look at Brother Shen's young age, but his skills are really good."
"Yes, yes, the alertness is strong and the reaction speed is fast. I didn't see where the zombies were when I cleaned up the second floor. They have already solved three of them."
"And last time, the trick of flying up the wall and stabbing them with a stick, do you remember? It's so handsome. Fuck it, it's probably the same thing as flying over the wall in TV dramas. I'll put it aside, take a picture of it with my mobile phone and post it on the Internet. It will definitely catch fire."
"Remember! How can I forget, my life was saved by Brother Shen, hehehehe, Brother Shen is awesome!"
Miao Shoufu looked at the relaxed expressions of the crowd, and the daunting stabbing stick in Shen Shi'an's hand, and finally his thighs did not tremble so much.
"Everyone pay attention, stop chatting," Zhang Ze's gentle and clear voice sounded at the right time: "Fighting against zombies depends on the strength of the group, and any member is very important. Even if there is Mr. Shen With a master here, other people can't take it lightly. Everyone is ready, I'm going to open the door of the stairwell."
Li Cheng lowered his body slightly, held the steel pipe tightly in his hands in a defensive posture, and at the same time reminded the rich man Miao next to him in a low voice: "Remember to aim at the zombie's eyes and the back of the head and stab in. Mr. Shen taught that these two The easiest place to kill zombies."
"Hey, remember, remember." The richest man Miao nodded repeatedly, keeping the words "eyes" and "the back of the head" firmly in his heart, while chanting, he took a deep breath bravely, waiting for the door to open. He followed the others and rushed out facing the howling of the zombies.
The cleaning process went fairly smoothly. There were a total of 30 participants in this cleaning operation, and there were about 140 or 50 zombies in the entire five-story building. They were divided into six groups. After entering the library area, they moved in a clockwise direction, gradually advancing each other's offense and defense. Soon more than one-third of the area was cleared.
The first zombie that the richest man Miao encountered was a woman. She was petite and a head shorter than him, but half of her cheeks were eaten off and her teeth were clenched. She didn't look weak at all. Miao Shoufu was stiff all over, and in a blank brain, he remembered the essentials of action that Li Cheng reminded him in time, and he clenched the wooden stick tightly and stabbed him into the eye socket in the posture of throwing a javelin—
Accidentally poked it crookedly, the tip of the stick got stuck in the nasal bone and couldn’t be pulled out or pierced in. There was a distance of a mop stick between the zombie and staring, one hoarse howling and the other sweating profusely, like dancing duets Turned back and forth in a circle.
Shen Shi'an took the time to fly up and just hit the end of the mop stick. Miao Shoufu only felt his body leaning forward uncontrollably, with a soft "click", the tip of the stick pierced/through the skull/inserted/into the brain, semi-liquefied Immediately, the brains gushed out along the gap like a fountain. If he hadn't been wearing a mask and covered with plastic wrap, he would have saved a meal.
Shen Shi'an didn't look back, and put down two more in a blink of an eye: "Find the right position and use all your strength, don't get confused. This is only yours."
"Hey, hey." The richest man Miao didn't dare to smell the smell of brains on the mask carefully, so he gathered his mind and hurriedly followed.
After the entire floor was cleaned up and checked twice, it was already more than three hours later. A strong man surnamed Gao tore off the mask and plastic wrap on his face, spat a few times, and then looked at the others with some fear: "Hey, has anyone noticed that the speed of zombies seems to be faster than before? Is it? I met one that can almost catch up with normal people, if it is not blocked by a bookshelf, it might have to be folded in its hands today."
"No, it's still slow and dull. I solved four today, breaking the record already."
Someone joked: "Maybe it's your 'masculinity' that attracts people, causing them to become wild."
"Hahahahahahaha..."
Everyone who had just ended a fierce battle laughed wantonly, but Shen Shi'an's heart sank slightly: It seems that it is an undoubted fact that zombies can evolve. That being the case, can humans also evolve? Is the extended time to mutate after infection with a virus part of evolution? Or is it just the beginning of evolution? And what kind of new situation will this kind of evolution push the already cruel apocalypse into
At present, the only thing that can be called good news is that not all zombies can evolve. According to Shen Shi'an's observations in the past few days, only about 1% to 20% of the zombie army has improved speed and responsiveness. For a while, as long as this ratio doesn't suddenly skyrocket, humans still have a slight advantage.
"Okay, okay," Zhang Ze slapped his hands, "The clean-up operation has been successfully completed again. Thank you for everyone's courage and dedication. After a short rest, we have to get down to business. Let's collect supplies and put everything in the second place. Lou. Xiao Ma, let the left behind come up to clean up later, and throw all the zombie corpses down."
As the living conditions in the library become more and more difficult, the only way for left-behinds who are unwilling to participate in the clean-up operation to obtain supplies is to carry out cleaning work. This method was proposed by Zhang Ze, and the reason given was to try to protect the interests of both participants and those left behind to the greatest extent, so that more people could survive the disaster.
The number of left-behinds and participants is equal, and the things that can be distributed each time account for about one-tenth of the total supplies. Even so, the participants who risked their lives still had more and more opinions on the left-behinds: "There is only so much food in total, and I don't have enough to eat, and I have to honor the group of pampered uncles who don't want to get their hands dirty, grass. If you want me to say, if you don’t have the guts to fight zombies, you’ll just die of starvation.”
Whether intentional or not, under such a distribution method, the contradictions between the participants and the left-behinds gradually intensify, and there is a faint tendency to be uncontrollable.
As soon as Shen Shi'an returned to the reading room on the second floor, Shen Xun jumped off the sofa and flew towards him: "An'an!"
Half squatting down to catch the child, Shen Shi'an took out a piece of chocolate from the side pocket of the backpack with his backhand, and handed it to the girl who helped look after the child and was also the girl who helped close the door together: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, I didn't do anything." The girl blushed a little, and she just sat on the second floor and looked at the child, and she could get a piece of chocolate as a reward. I don't know how many people are greedy for such a job nowadays. After receiving the chocolate, he praised Shen Xun a few more words: "Brother Shen, your child is very good, and he is neither noisy nor fussy." He didn't speak or move, just sat on the sofa and looked out the door to see who was talking to him Who are you barking at
Shen Shi'an nodded, and walked to the side with the child in his arms to appease him.
After the left-behinds cleaned the fifth floor, the participants also transported all the materials they had collected. I was lucky today. In addition to two full vending machines and odds and ends in the lockers, I also found a box of unopened biscuits from the staff room, and a box of braised beef noodles that ate four or five bags. .
Everyone gathered around the materials, and Zhang Ze presided over the distribution as usual: "Everyone is familiar with the distribution rules, and they are distributed according to the contribution value in the clean-up operation. Among them, Mr. Shen contributed the most, so he got the most things, and everyone did not." opinion?"
Shen Shi'an frowned slightly. These words, starting from cleaning up the zombies on the second floor, Zhang Ze would say it every time the supplies were distributed. It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. These things are what Shen Shi'an deserves, and it can still appear that Zhang Ze is fair, reasonable and transparent. But in the eyes of others, Shen Shi'an carried such a large bag of things, and under the current situation, he can still eat three meals a day. Obviously, there is no shortage of supplies, so why should he take the bulk every time? It’s okay if you just entered the library. Many people bring their own food, and there is no shortage of this. But after such a long time, most people have already eaten up what they brought, and the distribution of supplies has become their only source of food.
For him, these are just food, but for others, this is the hope of survival!
What's more subtle is that the number of zombies that Zhang Ze has solved is second only to Shen Shi'an, which means that the supplies he obtained are actually not much less than Shen Shi'an, but through such emphasis every time, no one will notice that he has divided them. No matter how many things, everyone's dissatisfaction and criticism will only be concentrated on Shen Shi'an.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Ze finished speaking, someone among those left behind jumped out: "I don't agree!"
Shen Shi'an followed the sound and looked over, and he was an acquaintance again. Since the day he entered the library, Fang had an oval face because of the problem of closing the door.
The round face stood out from the crowd, and his face was filled with indignation and righteous words: "It is true that Mr. Shen contributed the most, but shouldn't the way of distribution of supplies be to ensure that everyone can survive? How many of us are there?" Haven't eaten for nearly three days? Seeing that someone is about to starve to death, can't Mr. Shen make a little sacrifice for the benefit of the masses?"
Someone is willing to stand out, and others immediately follow:
"That is, he has no shortage of food at all. He can eat chicken legs for the children every day, and he can even hire someone to look after the children with chocolate. Why should he fight with us for rations?"
"Isn't he kind and selfless, so much food that he can give it to the fat man who almost killed everyone? If that's the case, what if we give it to the rest of us?"
"Collective interests are higher than individual interests. Don't you have this kind of ideological awareness? Let me tell you, don't just take out today's supplies, just take out all the things in the bag, and we will divide them equally according to the head, so that everyone can survive , it’s much better than eating alone to feed the others to starve to death!”
"That's right! Take the initiative to hand over the bag, the big guy will still remember your kindness, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
"..."
In the cage surrounded by zombies, hunger and panic provide the most sufficient nutrients, while the blind self-confidence of being a "majority group" provides the most suitable environment, making the most common and despicable greed, selfishness and hypocrisy in human nature, Like a slender vine in a greenhouse, it climbs the body and grows, and once it sprouts out of the ground, it is out of control.
Invisibly, Shen Shi'an was surrounded by people who were not well-intentioned, and their scorching, wanton, and undisguised gazes all focused on him and the backpack full of delicious food behind him.
Shen Xun hugged Shen Shi'an's neck, his dark green eyes were blazing with anger, and he let out a threatening growl of beasts from his throat. Li Cheng and the richest man Miao were also in a hurry, and took weapons to guard behind Shen Shi'an: "Why are you people like this? Without Brother Shen leading the fight against zombies, who would dare to go up to clean the floor, and where did these materials come from? Why are you being treated by others?" I don’t know how to be grateful for the benefits, but take it for granted, and even grab other people’s things!”
Some of the participants also wanted to speak out for Shen Shi'an, but most of them regarded Zhang Ze as the leader. Seeing that his expression didn't change, it seemed that he didn't mean to uphold justice, so they hesitated for a while and swallowed their words.
Shen Shi'an patted the child on the back to signal him to be calm. His gaze swept over Zhang Ze who was on the periphery of the crowd, and then he pulled out the stabbing stick stuck in the backpack with his backhand. The sharp thorns still carry the zombie's uncoagulated dark blood, refracting a cold luster under the sunlight coming in through the window, slowly converging into a point, and dripping down the thorns.
Looking around carefully, his pitch-black eyes were like the jade of the Nine Serenities, and he said softly: "Who dares to snatch it."
The author has something to say: You can leave the library in about two chapters.
