Chapter 1 Survive or lie flat?

"Xiaoqi, hurry up! Close the window!" Jia Yang urged me from behind. He took the remote control in my hand and immediately closed the window that I had only opened a few inches.

A few seconds later, the inhuman thing bit the man next door on the shoulder and fell against the glass window. His thin body was bursting with veins and his eyes were wide open. He knew we were in the house, but because he was alone,

Looking through the glass, not knowing where we were standing, his hands tried to hit the glass, but there was no strength at all.

He could only roar silently, and we could only remain indifferent.

Jia Yang looked at me, patted me on the shoulder, turned around and continued to play with the vegetables grown in the glass house.

He is used to it, and so am I. This is the countless number of times in the past two months that we have watched that ghost bite people to death with our own eyes. Some of the people bitten include customers who have been to the store before and some familiar villagers.

, there are neighbors who are like family... They all "magically" resurrected after being bitten and turned into exactly the same ghosts, walking in the village and becoming "ghosts" here.

In the countless sci-fi apocalyptic movies that Jia Yang and I have watched, this is called zombies.

It started three months ago.

"Pap tap tap... tap tap tap..." The rain kept falling outside the window, accompanied by the howling wind. I lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Jia Yang was snoring next to me.

I turned over and took my cell phone from the bedside. At 2:05 in the morning, I opened the hot search on Weibo and scrolled down casually. I saw one entertainment news after another, mixed with entries about new diagnoses, new diagnoses in the past few years.

The terms "increasing diagnosis" often appear in hot searches, which is no surprise to me.

Scroll down further, and a hot search for "Researcher from Country M Laboratory Escapes" attracted me. I clicked on the entry, and the first one was the same title and a video. I am used to liking the video first and then continuing to watch the video, and it is the same today.

.

The video is very long, with Chinese and English subtitles at the beginning introducing a biological laboratory in Country M. There are a large number of animal experiments and test tubes in the accompanying pictures, as well as some English report content, including a translation of a recent research content-X virus clinical

Phase 5 of the experiment. The experimental results from the previous phases showed that after the virus was injected into the experimental mice and rabbits, their bodies gradually stiffened and their movements began to slow down. The mice soon died, and the rabbit's original black pupils gradually turned red, and then slowly

He was covered with a layer of fog and died quickly after violent convulsions...

After the simple experimental research results, a man's voice appeared in the video. He spoke English, and the subtitles slowly showed: "The experiment has now entered the human experiment. During the process of transporting the experimenters, several volunteers escaped from the laboratory."

, the virus is spreading..." Before I could finish listening, the video suddenly showed that it could not be played. I clicked it and refreshed it, and the entry had disappeared.

I entered M country laboratory, researcher, X virus...all related searches again in the search box, but I could only see "Sorry, no relevant results found." Strangely, I couldn't find anything.

"It's probably a rumor, that's why it was deleted so quickly" I thought, and a new message popped up in the Weibo chat box.

"The zombie virus is about to break out. Get ready quickly. If you can, please do it one by one."

I replied how do you know, but the other party never replied.

My mind was filled with confusion, what did this mean? I refreshed again, and the hot search terms on Weibo no longer showed content related to diagnosis and virus. I opened Baidu and searched on it again. If the end is coming, what is needed?

What to prepare? Hundreds of boxes of instant noodles, self-heating hot pots, all instant food. Thinking about what I should prepare if the end of the world really comes, I slowly fell asleep with the sound of pattering rain.

When I woke up in a daze the next day, Jia Yang turned over and hugged me.

"Xiaoqi, are you awake?"

"Yeah." I was still a little unconscious, so I touched my phone out of habit, and received another message from the strange account last night, a WeChat account, but his Weibo account was blocked.

I suddenly woke up and told Jia Yang about the strange things that happened last night. Jia Yang didn't believe it. There were various natural disasters or chemical leaks every day around the world, but there was no news of any new viruses.

"Jia Yang? Do you think there are really zombies?" I asked worriedly.

"If the world really ends, then I will lie down and become a zombie!" Jia Yang laughed, acting like a zombie.

I was amused, "Then I will turn into a zombie first, and the first one I bite will be you!"

…

Recently, our bakery was renovated and the store was not open, and it was rainy again. Two bored people added the WeChat account with a small account, but received the same message content as in the video last night. The person said that the speed of the zombie virus spread

Very quickly, Country M cannot control it. Only by building a safe house and staying in the safe house can we avoid infection.

The virus incident described by this person was too real. Jia Yang and I looked at each other, and the originally relaxed atmosphere became serious and heavy.

"Let's get up and have breakfast first." I broke the long-lasting calm and started a new day with Jia Yang. Jia Yang was silent all day, seeming to be thinking about something.

I don’t speak either. I have always liked watching doomsday-themed novels and movies, but I never thought that it would happen in real life. I was worried about the “burning out of the pot” type of self-rescue and that all the assets we had accumulated would be wiped out.

...If there are zombies, can we really survive?

In the evening after we finished dinner, the two of us sat on the sofa and checked our phones. I told Jia Yang my concerns. After more than ten minutes of silence, Jia Yang expressed his thoughts.

"We don't know the future development and changes. If we really become zombies, we will only die without dignity. If we survive, maybe there will be a turn for the better. Maybe the zombie virus will be controlled. The best case scenario is

This is a rumor, then we will build a safe house bakery based on this rumor, and then we will send out some advertisements, and maybe we will slowly earn back the money." In the last half of the sentence, Jia Yang seemed to be comforting me.

.

After that, Jia Yang and I decided to change the renovation plan of the bakery to renovation + safe house construction. If it develops as this person said, the virus will be introduced into our country in half a month. If things don’t go as this person says,

If it happens, we will open a safe house bakery.

Between struggling to survive and lying flat, we chose to survive. So, we started our safe house plan.

If there were rumors that the world would end soon and it broke out, what would you choose?
