I walked onto the balcony and patted Athena on the back. I saw a row of abandoned street shops across the road, including small supermarkets, breakfast shops, mobile phone stores, hardware stores, and printing and copying shops. Abandoned for a hundred years.
In the afternoon, I continued to exercise on the rooftop, and heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor, Athena and Wu Zeyong also came up. The three people ran in a circle for a while, and suddenly saw a dozen pigeons land on the rooftop of the building next door.
Wu Zeyong was overjoyed, leaned on her parapet and looked down, and said, "Think of a way to catch the pigeons and eat."
The building next door is one floor lower, and there is a dovecote built with colored steel on the roof. The problem is that the gap between the two buildings is a bit far apart, and unless the Night Demon, people cannot jump over it.
I said, "Get a long rope and throw it over."
Athena said: "For a few pigeons, isn't it?"
Wu Zeyong said: "It's worth a trip. I just saw the book teaches how to stew pigeons." He touched his mouth, and the saliva almost dripped out. Without finishing his words, he slipped off the roof.
In a blink of an eye, Wu Zeyong came back carrying a roll of walnut-thick hemp rope, tied a looper at one end of the rope, looked at an iron pillar on the roof below, and threw it over.
The noose flew across the gap between the two floors and was accurately set on the iron pillar. The iron pillar was welded to the parapet wall. The arm was thick and firm. Wu Zeyong tightened it tightly and tied it to the parapet wall of the rooftop. Said: "It's dark to catch the pigeons. We will come back tonight."
I said: "No need to say? The pigeons do not return to their nests during the day."
At around nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Zeyong brought a flashlight and a snakeskin pocket, and Athena and I followed on the rooftop.
The night breeze was cold, there was no moon and it was dark. Wu Zeyong grabbed the rope and slid over, and I slid along, Athena stayed on the rooftop.
I opened the door of the dovecote and took a photo with a flashlight. There were a dozen pigeons in the dovecote, cooing.
The pigeon is photophobic, and motionless under the bright flashlight, I walked in, grasping one by one.
Wu Zeyong opened the snakeskin pocket, I put the pigeons in one by one, and after a while, Wu Zeyong tied the bag tightly, held it in his hand, and said excitedly: "They are all fat pigeons, I will get the braised pigeons when I go back!"
I listened to the word "fat pigeon", mouth
The water was flowing out, and he opened the door with his hand. He was shocked. There was a black figure standing erect at the door. Although there was no moonlight, the back of its shiny head could still be seen gray.
A few more howls, and a few more night monsters rushed to the rooftop, I hurried back, and whispered in Wu Zeyong's ear: "Quiet down! I didn't find us."
Wu Zeyong had a cold fight. He was too nervous to hear clearly. As soon as I pulled his arm, the two of them squatted in the corner of the pigeon loft, and did not dare to take a breath.
The sound of the night demon running back and forth came from outside the pigeon loft. Wu Zeyong said: "Oh, will the night demon follow the twine and climb over?"
I said, "Squat and stay still, Athena can protect herself."
At this moment, the pigeons in the snakeskin pockets suddenly puffed into anger, and with a bang, two night monsters broke into the pigeon loft at the same time!
The Houyi shooting crossbow in my hand was also loaded early, and I suddenly turned on the flashlight, and took advantage of a bright light to cover the eyes of the night demon.
It was like a drop of cold water splashing into the oil pan, roaring loudly on the roof, and the remaining seven or eight night monsters rushing into the pigeon loft desperately as if they were grabbing money.
Fortunately, the door of the pigeon loft was narrow, and the night demon could not swarm in. Wu Zeyong pulled out Chuan Yang Nu, and the two opened fire together, and the crossbow arrows smashed past. In a blink of an eye, the seven or eight night demon's brains burst and fell to the ground. .
I relaxed, and quickly jumped out of the pigeon loft. Wu Zeyong took the snakeskin pocket and jumped out, shouting: "No, there is also the night demon here."
In the silent city, the attack sound was unusually harsh, and the noise of the zombies downstairs was mixed with the high-pitched roar of the night demon.
Wu Zeyong took three steps and took two steps. He ran over to grab the hemp rope. He was still flexible enough, carrying a bag of pigeons, and crawling back to the opposite roof in a few strokes.
I followed and crawled over, holding my hands tightly and hanging my feet on the hemp rope. Just halfway through the crawl, I heard Athena and Wu Zeyong shout together: "Quick! Another night demon is coming up again."
At the same time, the attack sounded loudly, and I saw a night demon leaping high, and suddenly falling in midair. With a whirr, it rubbed my body and fell down.
I climbed back to the roof here a few times, and when I looked back, the figure was shaking in the dark, and I didn't know how many night monsters had already turned up the roof on the opposite side.
Athena swept away with a shuttle, and the three of them fled into the sedan door and pushed the latch on with a bang. I whispered, "Go down, the dark lamp is blind, and the night demon can't find it."
We retreated to the corner platform of the stairs, and heard a few night monsters rushing to the rooftop and howling, but the IQ of these guys was not much higher than that of the zombies, and they made a mess for a while, and gradually calmed down.
Athena said softly, "The Night Demon has left."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and went down to a house on the eleventh floor. After closing the door, Wu Zeyong said: "It's a crime, for the sake of a few pigeons, I almost lost my life."
Although it was thrilling just now, Athena and I couldn't help but smile when he said this.
After daybreak, Athena and I came to the rooftop and saw that the Caigang pigeon loft was also pushed there. Thinking of the experience last night, I still have lingering fears.
The hemp rope was still tied to the roof, and Athena drew a dagger to cut the hemp rope. I quickly stopped her: "If there is any rope, the night demon can jump over, and keep it as a way of retreat."
Athena thought about it well and took back the dagger.
I said, "Let's take a look."
Athena said: "What's so nice?"
The two slid over with the rope, walked to the side of the roof, and looked down, only to see that this side was a shanty town, and the buildings were low and connected, extending all the way to the Mangyang River.
Athena and I looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. From the shantytown all the way from the shantytown to the wall and the house, there are no more zombies on the ground.
As long as you reach the Mangyang River safely, you can set up a raft and escape from Yangshan City.
At this time, a cough sounded from the top door of the sedan behind him, and Wu Zeyong also went up to the rooftop. He muttered, "What are you looking at? The red braised pigeon is ready."
Athena smiled and said, "Look at it, you can go to the Mangyang River from the shanty town."
Wu Zeyong walked over to see, and his expression was also a little happy. Although he had been holding the idea of getting along with the situation, if he could leave, he would naturally wish to escape from this dead and sunken city.
Wu Zeyong scratched his head: "Well, let's leave tomorrow."
Athena said puzzledly: "Why tomorrow?"
Wu Zeyong said: "There are still seven or eight pigeons left. I am going to make ham steamed pigeons for dinner. It would be a shame not to eat them."
