"Zhou Xiaoxiao?" I asked in surprise.
Ou Yiqing even gasped, nodded and said, "Yesterday afternoon, when I went back to the home appliance store, I just saw Zhou Xiaoxiao coming out. She was jumping around, like walking in a shopping mall..."
I interrupted Ou Yiqing and asked: "She didn't see you?"
Ou Yiqing said, "No, as soon as I saw her, I hid."
I was even more puzzled: "Do you believe me like this?"
Ou Yiqing said: "Yes."
I said: "Why?"
Ou Yiqing replied: "It's very simple. If a little girl can survive in the acropolis full of zombies and still be so calm, then she must be unusual!"
I nodded: "Your analysis makes a lot of sense."
While talking, the car reached a T-shaped intersection, and Ou Yiqing pointed to the right hand side: "Go this way."
I said, "What are you going to do over there? I'm going to the substation."
Ou Yiqing said: "This is not your business alone, I will summon my companions and everyone will go together."
I drove the car into the intersection on the right, followed the path pointed out by Ou Yiqing, after passing through the small half acropolis, and stopped under a building.
The building is located in the southwest corner of the city. The terrain is relatively remote and there are few zombies around.
The forty-storey high-rise building is very impressive. The rest are old buildings below seven or eight floors. Most of the doors and windows have been pried away. It seems that before the catastrophe, the city was undergoing an urban renovation project.
Ou Yiqing said: "This is the old city of the Acropolis. A red flag is hung on the roof of the building. You can basically see every corner of the Acropolis."
I suddenly said: "This is the secret code for your collection."
Ou Yiqing nodded: "Yeah."
I got out of the car and saw roadblocks piled up at the gate of the first floor of the building. It seems that Ou Yiqing and her companions have cleared the building in order to gather here.
The two climbed over the roadblock and walked up the fire-proof corridor. Ou Yiqing said: "The building is called Ping An Building, but it is not safe at all. A catastrophe happened not long after the construction was completed."
I said, "Then this is an empty building?"
Ou Yiqing said: "Well, after the building is completed, only the eighth and thirty-seventh floors have been occupied by two companies, and the rest are still vacant."
Two people
While speaking, he went up to the roof. There was a high iron frame on the roof. A rope was hung from the top, and a red flag was tied under the rope.
Ou Yiqing pulled the rope, raised the red flag, and said, "Let’s go down and wait. Everyone will come naturally when they see the red flag."
I asked: "About how long will they be able to come."
Ou Yiqing replied: "It's hard to say, anyway, as soon as they see the red flag rise, they will come naturally."
I said, "Is there no other way to contact?"
Ou Yiqing took out a walkie-talkie: "I want this, but the communication distance in the city is limited, so it's basically useless."
While she was talking, she pressed the intercom button and called out: "This is Ou Yiqing, please answer when someone hears it, that's it."
After waiting for a while, there was no sound in the walkie-talkie. Ou Yiqing called again and said, "Look, you can only talk when the distance is very short. Go on."
I followed Ou Yiqing down to the 37th floor and walked into a large conference room. The long conference table was full of convenience foods.
Ou Yiqing said: "This is our fixed meeting place, so we prepared some food."
I thought to myself: "Ou Yiqing and her companions are really unique people. Instead of getting together, they are scattered."
I pulled a chair and sat down, Ou Yiqing followed, and took a few packets of snacks from the conference table and tore them apart.
I remembered the bottle of Ligustrum Shaoxing that I had picked up, so I took it out of my backpack and said, "Wine is good."
Ou Yiqing said with joy: "Private Shaoxing! Good wine! Just to relieve fatigue." As he said, he took two disposable cups and filled them with wine.
The two of them touched their wine glasses and took a sip. I took out Ou Yiqing's photo and ID and said, "It's a coincidence that I found your ID and photo."
Ou Yiqing said "Ah" and rushed over, staring blankly at himself in the photo, and suddenly sighed: "Oh, I was so young at that time."
I pinched two salt and pepper peas and threw them into my mouth. Ou Yiqing would be in a daze. He put down the photo and said, "You told me last time that there are big spiders in the base, is it true?"
I said, "By now, you should believe me."
Ou Yiqing couldn't help but shudder
, Said: "Do you think spiders will also spread to the Acropolis?"
I said: "That is certain, but sooner or later."
Ou Yiqing's face turned pale, and said, "Apart from spiders, what else can be mutated?"
I said, "I don't know anything else. I was in the base and only saw spiders."
Ou Yiqing was dazed in a daze, and said half-price: "This world is going crazy! Is there a safe place?"
After a while, Ou Yiqing asked again: "Are there really thousands of people in Luotiegu?"
I said, "Yes. When Zhou Xiaoxiao is killed, I will show you all."
Ou Yiqing looked yearning and said, "I'm afraid that there will be spiders in Luotiegu by then. Oh, they don't know that there are mutated spiders, don't give them all."
I said: "I have two companions rushed back, and they will definitely organize everyone to defend. The terrain of Luotiegu is very steep and it won't be easy to eat."
Ou Yiqing nodded and said quietly: "There is a fellow named Lin Feiyang among my companions. He used to be an apocalyptic survivalist. When we were together, he told me how much he longed for the apocalypse to happen before."
"I said:'Lin Feiyang, your idea is weird, why?' He said:'The end of the world has happened, you can do whatever you want!'"
When I heard this, I smiled and said, "Hehe, what do you want, it's just a fairy tale written on paper."
Ou Yiqing said: "Yes, later Lin Feiyang sighed and said:'It turns out that the last days are different from what I thought. If you are not careful, there are nine lives that are not enough to die.'"
I laughed haha: "You friend is very funny."
Ou Yiqing smiled bitterly: "Is it interesting?"
The two were silent for a half, and I said, "What were you doing when the corpse happened?"
Ou Yiqing put on a cigarette, staring at the faint smoke turning into nothingness, and suddenly smiled: "I remembered that my life was really bad. When the corpse happened, I was waiting for the train at the subway station. There were so many people. ."
I said: "Where is it?"
Ou Yiqing said: "I was wearing headphones, listening to the song with my head buried in it, and the volume was turned on very loudly. The people around me broke the sky, and I didn't notice it at all."
I nodded and said, "Hehe, it's really big enough."
