Everyone who wants to live should have faith, because with faith, he can move forward.
Lu Chu thought, the owner of the small supermarket is such a person. Up to now, he still firmly believes that the people in this town are just sick. And one day, they will be able to restore the peaceful and peaceful life before.
No, Lu Chuwu shook his head to himself, they were indeed just sick.
The inability to see or hear is just a disease that robs us of a necessary part of our lives, but not our intellect or our emotions.
Lu Chu shook the hand of the man next to him, then squatted down and stretched out his hand. Seeing this, Luo Bo whimpered and rubbed his back against Lu Chu's hand. Lu Chu rubbed Carrot's neck with a smile, and said in a low voice, "It will all pass."
There are not many people living in cities and towns. When such a thing happens, most people still retain their senses, choose to hide at home, and occasionally come out to look for food.
Walking through this street, I didn't encounter any unexpected situations, not to mention "insensitive people", and there are very few roadblocks. It seems that the people who gathered at the intersection just now were just wandering along the street at will, and then there was a small group of traffic jams and no way forward.
The road was eerily quiet, even the sound of the wind blowing over the paper on the ground was amplified infinitely, the sound was creepy and chilly. The man didn't express anything, whether it was speech or writing, he just let Lu Chu pull him forward, and Luo Bo also very obediently lowered the sound of his limbs landing on the ground.
Such eerie tranquility did not make Lu Chu relax, but made him more anxious, feeling that every step he took would lead to other bad things.
At the end of this road, there is a large triangular intersection, and there is a small square in the center of the intersection. If Lu Chu's guess is correct, there should be traffic jams and it is impossible to move forward there.
Under Lu Chu's order, Luobo ran to the intersection, and came back a few minutes later, "Wow, woof" yelled a few times in a low voice.
Lu Chu understood that the intersection and the square were really congested. The intersection was blocked by vehicles, and in the center of the square wandered the "insensitive people" who had lost their minds. They scratched and bit each other indiscriminately.
The other two roads are relatively wide, separated by railings and narrow green belts in the middle of the road. In the past, people standing at the intersection had to go through the overhead bridge from one side of the road to the other.
The road leading to the central tower of the town has to go to the left side of the road on the right, while Lu Chu is now on the left side of the small street. The left and right roads of the small road can be crossed directly, but the center of the small square is full of "uninspired people" and must not be passed directly. That is to say, Lu Chu needs to go from the side close to the intersection to the right side of the wide road on the right, and then pass the overpass to the left side of the road.
In this process, there is no guarantee that they will not be surrounded and attacked by crazy "insensitive people", so they must be fast and careful. The "insensitive people" who were closer to them, Lu Chu could hear the slightest movement; while those who were far away from them, if they walked towards them, there were radishes to keep watch.
Approaching the intersection, he was familiar with the disgusting smell of blood gradually becoming stronger. Lu Chu unconsciously squeezed the man's hand tightly, and the man shook it back forcefully. Lu Chu felt Lu Chu write in his palm, "I'm fine." , be careful later."
Luobo walked in front, and Lu Chu pulled the man to follow closely behind.
There are many cinemas, restaurants, and KTVs on the side of the square. While walking close to the roadside, Lu Chu relied on his familiarity with the city in his memory to avoid the entrance of the film and television city and large supermarkets, so as not to be caught by the sudden crowd inside. Those who rushed out attacked. After all, even in a small town, the population density of such a place cannot be underestimated.
After leaving his home, until they came here, Lu Chu's emotions had completely settled down, and he had regained his calmness and gentleness.
Walking cautiously along the edge of the square, relying on Lu Chu's extraordinary hearing and carrot's intelligence, they managed to avoid several "insensitive people" and finally came to the right side of the road. However, they were on the right side of the road at this time. The chaos of the square and the green belt in the middle of the road made it impossible for them to go around or cross the road to the opposite side. They could only walk through the overhead bridge.
Lu Chu stopped and wrote on the man's palm.
——We will walk on the pedestrian bridge in a while, and there are many steps. Hold on to me, and we will walk slowly while holding on to the railing.
The man nodded, and immediately reacted, without making a sound, he also wrote the word "OK" in Lu Chu's palm.
Carrot walked up the steps first. It ran to the overpass quickly, turned left and right, and then came down and bit Lu Chu's trouser leg, barking a few times.
Lu Chu chuckled and nodded, it seemed safe.
He led the man to the bridge and dragged him up step by step. The man felt his caution and stopped.
—Don't worry too much, I'm used to this state now, and it doesn't matter if I speed up my pace.
-it is good.
There was no one on the flyover, whether they were emotionally stable or running wildly, but standing on the flyover, the chaotic sounds in the square below became clearer for some reason, Lu Chu frowned, he had a bad feeling.
At the same time, Luo Bo, who was very quiet without Lu Chu speaking, began to pace back and forth a little irritablely, and let out a low growl uncontrollably.
"Carrot?" Lu Chu called in a low voice.
Hearing Lu Chu's call, Luobo ran to Lu Chu's side, bit his trouser leg, and pulled it forward eagerly, but his strength was too weak, so he could only keep roaring in warning.
Realizing something was wrong, Lu Chu asked, "Is there any danger?"
Luobo was very clever. Hearing Lu Chu's words, he yelled a few more times, and continued to bite his trouser legs to let him go forward.
Lu Chu didn't hesitate this time, and pulled the man down the overpass at the fastest speed, and came to the left side of the road. However, Luobo's mood not only did not stabilize, but became more and more anxious. He put his head on Lu Chu's calf, trying to Push him forward.
Lu Chu knew that something must have happened, but the square was so chaotic, he held his breath and couldn't tell what was farther away. If he couldn't hear it, it didn't mean that Luobo couldn't see it. If Luobo was so anxious, it meant that this matter should not be underestimated. It was better for them to leave this street as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Lu Chu pulled the man with one hand and the bamboo stick with the other, speeding up his groping pace.
However, Lu Chu couldn't see. Even if he knew the streets and alleys of this town better, he couldn't run in this chaotic situation. Even though they tried their best, they still couldn't move fast enough. And the more this is the case, the clearer the sense of crisis that grips people's hearts invisibly.
At this moment, Lu Chu heard the already chaotic sound on the other side of the square becoming more noisy, and people screamed from time to time. When he carefully distinguished the sound, he found that the sound was mixed with the sound of animals. One after another.
That's the sound of a dog.
Lu Chu felt a chill in his heart, and felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end.
He was too careless, thinking that their "enemies" were only people who had lost their minds.
On the seventh day when the whole city lost consciousness, he only knew that crazy people began to kill each other for food, but he forgot how animals that no one "raised" would reveal their nature as beasts after a week of starvation.
If people still have a moral heart and a conscience that has not been wiped out, then the extremely hungry animals, except for the extremely loyal ones, are no longer restrained and start to "prey" wantonly.
All living things have the instinct to live, and living is not only the right of human beings as a species.
What surprised Lu Chu the most was that these animals, unlike human beings, did not lose certain senses and were aimless and ignorant. They all had perfect vision and hearing, even extremely sensitive.
What this means is self-evident.
Thinking of this in a matter of seconds, Lu Chu immediately pulled the man forward and walked quickly.
However, at this time, the sound of several animals running quickly came from the overpass, and the sound was getting closer and closer to Lu Chu and the others, followed by several different barking sounds.
More than one.
Carrot stood behind him, baring his teeth and facing the direction of the overpass, leaning forward, ready to go.
For a moment, Lu Chu was so nervous that the palms of the hands holding the man were covered with sweat.
