Chapter 2 Mutation(3/4)
There were sparse laughter in the dark corridor.
Smiling and smiling,
All done too.
Finally it turned into crying.
...
Bai Ye rested for a while and groped his way outside.
It seems like I stepped on something,
A man's scream came from his feet,
"You stepped on my hand!"
"Sorry sorry."
While Bai Ye apologized, he walked in the direction of the safe passage according to his memory, and then stepped on another person's foot.
Bai Ye arrived at the seventh floor while shouting for permission.
Touch the keyhole with your hand, and then open the door.
A furry thing at my feet wants to go out,
Bai Ye hooked his long legs and moved inward from the crack of the door.
"Kick" the cat on your feet home.
The corridor outside was dark, and if the cat ran out, he might not be found.
There are windows in the living room, but the curtains are closed.
But even the dim light coming through the curtains in the living room is much better than the total darkness in the hallway.
As the door opened, the light from inside the house attracted the attention of some people in the corridor.
In the darkness, some shadows followed.
Bai Ye quickly entered the house and closed the door.
Bang bang bang.
There were banging sounds on the door and shouts from outside the room.
In the cramped space, the boundaries between humans and animals seem to have become blurred.
Someone shouted outside the house to come in.
Bai Ye found a kitchen knife to embolden himself, and hit the shoe cabinet with the back of the knife, making a loud thud.
"Knock on the door again and chop you to death!" Bai Ye lowered his voice and let out a deep roar.
It was quiet outside the door, but Bai Ye couldn't calm down inside for a long time.
Only the sound of Bai Ye's breathing was left in the air,
After a long time, he heard footsteps walking away outside the door.
Bai Ye closed his eyes and held the kitchen knife in his hand without realizing it.
Bai Ye would definitely not let strangers into his home at this time.
It's like opening a door to welcome a thief.
Even if the person who comes in is not necessarily someone with ulterior motives,
But Bai Ye will never leave his own safety in other people's thoughts.
This is stupid.
Bai Ye once thought that there were many good people in the world and would lend money to anyone. Later, when the money was lent out, he realized that he was too naive. He didn't want to be naive again. In this strange world, the price paid for naivety may be his life.
...
Bai Ye looked at the two cats at his feet.
When he was free, he always felt that something was wrong.
Because they spend time together, he knows the size of these two little guys very well.
But at this moment, these two cats made him feel something was wrong.
Especially Duoduo.
I have an electronic scale at home. Although the power is out, small household appliances like electronic scales that use batteries can still be used.
Bai Ye quickly measured Duoduo's weight.
He actually weighs 20 pounds!?
Even though I measured only 14 pounds last week, I gained a full 6 pounds all of a sudden.
And Berry's weight suddenly increased from 8 pounds to 12 pounds.
And if Bai Ye guessed correctly, all these abnormalities began to happen after time travel.
Although it is still in the category of "cat".
But it’s starting to become unscientific...
...
Bai Ye stood by the window, looking down from a high position.
A large amount of white frost remained on the ground at the entrance and exit of the building's unit building. Amidst the remnants of the frost, several bodies were lying on the ground.
Family members came out to collect the body.
The attack caused by the strange bird that came out of nowhere cast a layer of gloom over the building that had just passed through.
The threat of death looms overhead.
Bai Ye heard it, and there was a cry downstairs.
This was the first time Bai Ye saw a dead person, even though he was more than twenty meters away.
Even though the distance was far away, the ferociousness of the corpse was much lessened, but he still inevitably felt the desolation of a dead rabbit and a fox.
These people who were alive a moment ago,
Maybe it was an old man standing nearby talking and laughing just now, maybe it was a child laughing and playing, and life was still blooming like a flower.
In an instant, it turned into a cold corpse.
Unable to speak anymore, I silently stared at the living on the far shore.
These families cannot find the coffin,
He took a mat from home and wrapped the body in it.
Then take it to the building.
A small group of people stopped them.
"You can't bring corpses in."
"This is my mother!!!" The man glared angrily.
"That's a corpse too."
"The person who died was not your relative. If it were your relative, could you still have stopped him? When that strange bird came just now, you ran faster than anyone else. My mother is over fifty years old and she can't run at all!" the man vented.
's roar.
"But what if a plague breaks out?" The man opposite refused to give an inch and his voice was loud.
"There's a damn plague in such cold weather!"
"Bodies will also rot and become smelly."
"What happened to me when I brought my mother home? Yesterday I promised her to take her to travel abroad. Why is it gone today? It's gone." The man yelled as if to vent his anger.
A physical fight almost broke out.
The few people in front of him who were blocking him from entering the building were in a difficult position. Considering that the man opposite had just died, they also knew not to irritate the man too much at this time.
The few people who stopped the man raised their heads and shouted to the people watching the show upstairs: "What happened is all our business. You can also say something if you are allowed to be brought in, otherwise we will not care. If the body is disposed of
No, just wait until it rots, stinks, or there’s a plague! They’re not our neighbors anyway!”
Hearing these words, the theatergoers upstairs began to condemn the families who insisted on bringing the bodies into the building.
The argument ended in a stalemate for a while, and finally a few older people came out from the building and talked for a while with the family members who had lost their loved ones.
Because the distance was too far, and there was no loud roar anymore, the voice was much quieter, so Bai Ye couldn't hear the specific content.
There should be some kind of agreement reached.
Several family members who had lost their loved ones carried the body to the woods aside, and several people followed with shovels.
Bai Ye pursed his lips and looked away.
