Chapter 4 Footprints
Back at home, Su Li put the clothesline, and her mind was full of the bloated female corpse that had been chewed so bloody that it was a long time before she calmed down again.
"Now, should I stay here and wait for rescue or try to find a way out of here, or are there lucky people like me in this city?"
Su Li took off his shoes and socks that had just entered the water and were flooded.
Change a pair of clean shoes and go to the balcony window to meditate.
Looking out of the window, there are stars and high-rise buildings coming out of the water in the distance. These buildings that can come out of the water are all 30-story and 30-story buildings
Looking at these buildings emerging from the water, Su Li can’t help but wonder if there will be people as lucky as himself in these buildings. It’s better to find them than to be alone.
Of course, there are unknown risks along the way. Just now, the gnawed body left a shadow in Su Li’s heart, and I always feel a little uneasy.
"Or stay for a while and wait for rescue. Maybe a rescue team will appear soon."
Su Li’s only happiness is that she has prepared several bags of instant noodles and bought some biscuits and bread for breakfast because she lives alone, which are piled up in the refrigerator.
It’s ok to stick to food for four or five days by yourself.
After thinking for a while, Su Li decided to prepare his hands.
One is to stay here for the time being, hoping that there will be a turn for the better or rescuers will appear. The other is to make a simple raft by hand. If no rescuers have appeared these days, you can venture out of here by raft and take the initiative to find a way out.
After making a decision, Su Li’s heart became a little relaxed. First, he took out a bag of biscuits from the refrigerator and tore them while eating them. The only thing he felt lucky was that the water had not stopped for the time being. He took out the kettle and filled it with water, then hit the stove to boil water.
He still uses old-fashioned canned liquefied gas, but rarely cooks with fire. There is always a fire this month, or Wang Lan and some friends come to his house for dinner. He rarely does it alone.
Now he has to thank this tank of liquefied gas, otherwise it will be difficult to drink some hot water now.
"We need to burn more water for preparation. Although the water hasn’t stopped yet, I’m afraid it may stop at any time now that it has stopped."
Although Su Li doesn’t know the specific reason, it may be that the lines are different. Although it has stopped, the water has not stopped for the time being.
In addition to preparing hot water, Su Li also searched around the house for various tools, and soon found some nails, two screwdrivers, vises, scissors, lighters and a hammer. By the way, he put away the kitchen knife and fruit knife and piled them together on the living room coffee table for ready use.
After eating cookies and drinking some water to fill his stomach, Su Li went to work. His idea was to go to the top of the building first and release smoke to attract the attention of outside rescuers, if there were rescuers, of course.
After that, make your own simple raft and prepare it when it is not needed.
He found some old clothes from home, including a quilt, a pair of plastic slippers and several plastic bags, all wrapped together, and then he took a lighter and was ready to go out.
He will hold these things on the roof and set fire to them, hoping to create a lot of smoke.
If a rescue team really sees a lot of people making smoke here, it must know that the lucky one here will be saved at that time.
Su Li knocked on the door and was about to go out with something in her arms when she suddenly stopped. Her eyes fell on the corridor in front of her.
He saw wet footprints in the corridor ahead, which appeared from the end of the corridor and extended all the way outside the house where the young couple lived.
Su Li’s heart jumped wildly.
Look at this wet footprint. Su Libai didn’t leave it by himself. His front foot was stained with water, and the footprints left by him have already dried up. At present, the wet footprints left by this corridor are obviously just left by someone, and it’s not long, otherwise the footprints will soon dry up.
"Maybe there are others here besides me? Just walked up the stairs and entered the couple’s house? Is the stairs outside flooded? How can this person come over? "
Su Li looked at the door left unlocked and wanted to rush in to see what was going on, but there was a faint fear in his heart, and he always felt that it was strange that something could not be said.
He didn’t rush to impulse, but quickly returned home, holding the quilt and clothes in his hand, and then grabbed the kitchen knife and the hammer on the tea table
With a kitchen knife and a hammer and a self-defense weapon, he felt a little safe and courageous, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and went out again to see what had happened.
"If only there were someone who was lucky," Su Li thought silently.
Facing all kinds of unknowns alone, he is not lonely, and the fear of the unknown always hangs over his heart, which makes him feel extremely depressed. He is afraid to continue like this, fearing that he will collapse before long. He is eager to see his living, companions and even a dog.
Soon Su Li went to the door and looked at the door left unlocked security door and the wet footprints in front of the door.
When we got closer, Su Li found that there were still a lot of water marks on both sides of the footprint. Obviously, the person who left the footprint was not wet with a pair of shoes, but was soaked all over. When he came over, he left a row of wet footprints dripping with water and left a lot of water marks on the ground.
But as time goes by, these water traces are slowly evaporating, and Su Li didn’t notice them until he was close at the moment.
Su Li clenched the hammer and kitchen knife in his hand and didn’t immediately push the door to look at his throat. He swallowed his saliva and finally made a sound, "Hello?"
Except for his voice, the corridor and the house were silent.
Su Li paused for a few seconds and asked again, while listening carefully to the movement in the house.
Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from inside, which was like a chair being moved. This quiet place became particularly loud. It sounded like a person turning around and accidentally touching the chair.
"There is someone inside? Why didn’t you answer me? "
Su Li finally couldn’t help it. When he lifted his right hand with a hammer, he would push the door left unlocked.
Chapter 5 Spirit Source
As soon as I pushed it a little, I felt that the door was blocked. Then he looked up and saw a bloated and pale face exposed under the door. Most of the face was covered by wet black hair, revealing a swollen dead fish eye.
This eye is so angry that it can hardly see the rest of the pupil.
This pale and swollen face is like a zombie in a shadow. What’s even weirder and scarier is that there is a layer of fluffy white hair on the surface.
Suddenly, Su Li thought that he would suddenly see such a strange and horrible face, and he was scared out of his wits. He couldn’t help but let out a terrible scream and wanted to turn and run away.
With a bang, the door was suddenly pulled, and Su Li just turned around and felt that he was hit by something wet. This jump was so powerful that he couldn’t stand still, fell heavily on his forehead and hit the ground. Suddenly, he saw stars and was bloody, and then he felt that something heavy pressed himself.
Su Li, the head of life and death, can no longer be afraid of fear, and immediately struggles desperately with her hands, feet, knees and waist. At the same time, when she suddenly turns over, she will lift the things that hold her down.
Then he finally saw clearly.
This just jumped out and pinned himself down. It turned out to be the female corpse that was soaked in the stairs before.
The big face that was soaked and swollen and pale, the body was bloated, and a lot of flesh and blood in the chest, abdomen and legs were chewed to expose the bones inside. You can vaguely see the sticky dirty body and hair dripping with water.
The most horrible suspicion is that her exposed skin and face give birth to a layer of white-haired fur, just like the white-haired zombie.
