As he approached the window on the third floor, Liu Qian tried hard to identify the possible sounds coming from inside and was fully alert for possible sneak attacks. But there was no movement inside. Until Liu Qian climbed in through the open third-floor window, he didn't encounter any other zombies.
There is something sticky and greasy on the windowsill on the third floor. It seems like zombies are crawling through here. I don’t know if they are crawling in or crawling out. This seems to mean that the small building is not safe and must be carried out. A comprehensive cleaning and inspection is required before you can move in.
After retracting the hanging rope into the room, Liu Gan carefully searched around the third floor. The layout on the third floor is very simple, with only one room and a simple bathroom. There was a small bed and a wardrobe in the room. Liu Gan first checked under the bed and found nothing unusual, so he opened the wardrobe again. There were some clothes of men and women hanging and stacked inside. After opening it, there were no zombies hiding in it. .
There is a simple dressing table next to the small bed. Lipstick, nail polish and other cosmetics are scattered on the table, indicating that a woman did live here.
There is a dining table against the wall, with a simple alcohol stove placed on it. There is a small stainless steel pot on the alcohol stove. There is some juice from cooking instant noodles in the small pot, which has completely cooled down. There were several empty instant noodle bags and some empty biscuit bags in the trash can beside the dining table; there were four or five boxes of drinks stacked on the ground under the dining table, but they were all filled with empty beverage bottles. Obviously, It has been drank up by the people who live here.
On the third floor, except for some sticky substances unique to zombies on the windowsill, no abnormalities were found elsewhere. There was no blood on the ground, and there were no obvious traces of fighting. There was only a small stool leaning on the ground. I don’t know who it was. Knocked down.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone living here? If there is someone, we can leave and choose to stay somewhere else." Liu Qian shouted a few times into the small building. If there were people living in the small building, such a call would be unacceptable. The sound was enough for them to hear, and even if there were zombies hiding inside, it should be enough to lure them out of their hiding place.
There was no response in the small building. It was so quiet that there seemed to be no people or zombies. Only the sound of the wind whistling outside the window came in from time to time.
If the boss lady was forced by the zombies to climb out of the window and go downstairs, then it is very likely that the zombie that was chasing her also chased her out of the window and jumped out of the window without staying in the small building. So Liu Gan just The shouts did not cause any movement.
The question is, where did that zombie come from? Did she let it in through the front door
It seems unlikely. The rolling shutter door was locked tightly, which shows that the woman had enough time to lock the rolling shutter door when she returned to the hardware store. At least the store was still safe at that time.
This matter must be clarified, otherwise it will be unsafe to stay here at night.
Liu Qian found nothing abnormal or dangerous on the third floor, so he stood by the simple stairs and turned on the flashlight to take a look at the second floor. After confirming that the range of the flashlight was safe, he went down the simple stairs to the second floor. building.
The layout of the second floor and the third floor are similar. There is also a room with a bathroom and a bed. However, the room on the second floor has a faint smell of corpse rot, similar to the smell emitted by zombie bodies. This It also made Liu Qian highly vigilant.
But there is still no trace of zombies on the second floor... except for the messy bed, rancid slime on the bed, and some broken ropes...
After shining a flashlight on a group photo of a man and a woman on the table next to the bed, and carefully observing the various clues left in the room, Liu Qian roughly speculated on what had happened here.
It is very likely that when the plague that turned most people in the trembling world into zombies spread, the shop owner and his wife were not infected, but were trapped in their hardware store.
Any game has its own independent background setting, and the background settings of some games are even very grand. With Sanyu Company's consistent urination, the game they produced must also have an extremely logical background story, so The outbreak of the zombie virus in the trembling world must have a suitable reason and a reasonable advancement process.
Judging from the current situation, except for the players who came in and were not infected, almost all the indigenous residents of this world were infected. However, there are also some people who survived and became survivors. Perhaps the boss and the proprietress of the store are two of them. .
As for the reason, it is currently unknown.
Surviving in such an almost annihilating situation may not be a good thing for the survivors themselves. Relatives and friends have all turned into zombies, there are power and water outages, no food and drinking water, and no social order. It is still an extremely difficult task for survivors to survive in this chaotic apocalypse.
This kind of survival requires not only food and drinking water, but also the courage of survivors, the courage to persist in despair.
The hardware store is not too far from the small supermarket that Liu Qian visited before. After the zombie outbreak, the store owner should have ventured to the small supermarket a few times for the survival of him and his wife, and brought back some drinks and food. From the biscuits You can see the packaging bags of instant noodles and empty drink boxes.
The store owner didn't have time to bring all the drinks and food over. He was attacked by a zombie and was bitten or scratched when he was out. However, he still managed to escape back to the hardware store.
The boss who escaped was sick and lying on the bed. The boss's wife was worried that he would turn into a zombie, but she couldn't bear to abandon him just like that, so she tied him to the bed on the second floor with a rope. However, the bitten boss eventually died due to infection or Death becomes a zombie.
The boss who turned into a zombie broke the ropes that bound him and regarded the boss's wife as a prey. At that time, the boss's wife was staying on the third floor. When she saw the boss who had turned into a zombie broke away from the ropes and rushed to the third floor, he was forced to jump from the third floor. Escape from the upstairs window. The boss who turned into a zombie chased after him and jumped down from the third floor with the escaping wife. He caught up with the boss's wife who was trying to escape and threw her to the ground.
It is very possible that among the five zombies that gnawed on the woman's body just now, the woman's husband turned into a zombie. Perhaps the first person to eat a woman was her husband, and the other four zombies gradually gathered after smelling the blood.
This is a somewhat sad background story. Judging from the clues currently available, the real result should be close to Liu Qian's speculation.
