I smiled and said, "I got you all guessed right."
Old Wu said: "The castle is unmovable."
I said: "We didn't know before, but after listening to Lin Shuang, we knew it was great, so of course we wouldn't move."
Old Wu said, "That's good, eh, is Lin Shuang okay?"
I said, "She is with my friend Ming Han, it's okay."
Old Wu shook his head: "This girl is also courageous. If she fails to escape that day, then she will have to suffer a lot. Our punishment for traitors is very severe."
The two were silent for a while in the dark, and I asked Old Wu, "What did you do before?"
Old Wu said: "Taxi driver. Hey, it's not that I am bragging. Although Eagle City is not small, I have ran on almost every road."
Speaking of the past, Old Wu became excited and said: "At that time, the Eagle City was prosperous, with feasts and beauties everywhere. Especially Queen Square, surrounded by the world's most famous luxury flagship stores, I When I drove past, I felt that the bus was also filled with the prosperity of Eagle City."
I was very curious about Eagle City's past, so I listened to Lao Wu's words silently.
Old Wu continued: "When the virus was first reported by the news, I didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't until several colleagues around me were quarantined because of the infection that I realized a little crisis, but despite this, it was still Go to work as usual, because I have to feed my family."
When I heard this, I thought to myself that the world of Old Wu and theirs was different from ours. The virus infection was gradual. Unlike us, the zombie virus broke out in a day around the world.
Lao Wu sighed, his voice became noticeably low, and then he said: "Later, my colleagues started protesting and went on strike, but the head of the unit forced everyone to go to work. The two sides faced each other. The colleagues even said, "The driver's life is also a fate." Banners."
"It is not only my colleagues who took to the streets to protest, but also people of various forms. Soon, the protest evolved into ***. Many luxury stores around Queens Square were looted by mobs. Clean and clean."
"In our taxi company, the first driver to die was called Duan Peng.
Now, I clearly remember that that day was August 17, I walked into the driver’s lounge and saw an obituary. There is his profile picture on it. "
"The company held a simple farewell ceremony for him and put a wreath in the lounge. I was very emotional at that time. He was so young and died like this."
"I just said that Queen Square is the most prosperous place in Eagle City and even in the world. But overnight, there are few pedestrians on the street, and there are deserted people in front of the shops. Even if we don't strike, no one will take it. The car is out. The usual noisy streets of Eagle City suddenly became quiet."
When Lao Wu said this, he smiled: "Before, traffic jams were commonplace, but at that time, you could even drag on the road."
"Later, everyone stayed at home, even if they were door-to-door, they didn't know what happened to other people's homes. Government organizers knocked on the door from door to door, often prying the door open, and the whole family died clean."
"However, they didn't really die. During the day, no one was seen on the roads of Eagle City, but at night it was lively, the night demons were rampaging, and the world became their stage."
"Gradually, there are fewer and fewer living people, and more and more night monsters. It is often infected by one person, and the whole family suffers. I became a lonely person. During the day, I wandered through the streets of Eagle City. At night, I fell asleep. In a stranger, listening to the constant howl all night until dawn."
"The most funny thing is that when the corpse just happened, various experts claimed that the virus would not spread from person to person. I brought a mask to work and I was complained."
"Later, the experts and people who complained about me, hehe, all mutated into Night Demon."
"The place I often spend the night is the Union Building next to Queens Square, not only because it is easy to find food there, but also because the building is 109 stories high and is the first place where the entire Eagle City is exposed to sunlight."
"I remember that when I woke up that day, I went out through the hall and prepared to go to the rooftop. I just walked into the middle of the hall and suddenly heard a clang in the corner. Something fell on the ground..."
When Lao Wu said this, he stopped and said nothing. A faint moonlight came in from the broken window, and he licked his lips. It seemed that the scene at the time was still thinking.
Of course, there are lingering fears.
I took two cans of beer on the shelf, opened it and handed it to Lao Wu.
Lao Wu took it, drank it, sighed, and said, "Thank you." He wiped his mouth and continued.
"At that time, the sky was not completely bright, and the situation in the hall was dim and dim. I was stunned and wanted to turn around to escape, but my legs seemed to be nailed to the floor, and I couldn't move it."
"I have walked through this hall countless times, and I never thought that a night monster would come in. The sound of something falling to the ground was enough to make my hair stand up."
"I thought in my mind:'Oh my God, I must be finished now!' But after that sound, there was no more movement in the hall."
"I lifted my foot, stepped back, and every time the sole of my foot fell, I heard no movement in the corner of the hall before I lifted my other foot."
"Return from the middle of the hall to the door I just came in. It's just a mere fifty steps, but for this short distance, I walked extremely hard, and every step was frightening."
"Finally, I retreated to the door. At this time, the sky was brighter again, and it was very shadowy. I saw the figure in the corner, and it didn't seem like a night demon."
"Then I stepped back to the door, grasping the handle with one hand, maintaining a posture of running away at any time, and tentatively yelled at the shadow: "Hey, are you a human or a ghost?" "
"I heard the black shadow exclaiming in relief:'Of course I am a human being, and you are a ghost!'"
When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing: "Old Wu, you are scaring yourself, haha!"
Old Wu smiled and said, "It's a bit funny now, but the short period of time I retreated from the center of the hall to the door was really very tormented. I didn't get angry at that person in good spirits:'You're fucking dumb. , Did not say a word.'While talking and walking over, I saw that it was a homeless man in his sixties."
"The old tramp glared at me:'You said so lightly, why don't you say anything, do you think I'm so scared again?"
"The old tramp and I stared at each other, and suddenly laughed. The unexpected encounter with a living of the same kind was a great comfort to me and him."
