Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 161: Cheap Hands
We couldn't sleep at night listening to such a terrible noise, so Bai Li instructed Bai Yang, "Go and clean up the zombies upstairs, so that we can have a good rest after dinner."

This was also Bai Yang's plan. After all, he was the only male here. If he didn't go, who would?
But I didn't expect that just as I stood up and walked to the door, Xi Shuang actually followed me with a knife, "I'll go with you."

She didn't come out here for free. She had killed quite a few zombies before, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hold on until her brother came to the school to find her.

“No, there are only a few.”

Before Bai Yang could finish his words, Xi Shuang had already walked around him, jumped out of the car, and took the lead to walk to the third floor of the paper mill.

When passing by him, the ponytail accidentally brushed his face, giving him a tingling sensation.

Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose that was hit, and quickly jumped out of the car to chase after him.

The three children stared blankly, and none of them wanted to follow. After all, they were just children, and it would be a lie to say they weren't scared when they saw the zombies that looked like mummies and had hideous faces.

The paper mill office building has a total of four floors. The first floor is the front desk and exhibition hall, and there seems to be a sample room as well.

The glass door leading to the outside was closed tightly, and there was a steel pipe across the door handles on both sides. It must have been closed by someone who escaped.

Bai Yang stood at the door and looked inside carefully. It was a mess. He could vaguely see a headless corpse lying on the counter at the front desk, and there seemed to be nothing else.

He pulled out the steel pipe on the door and told Xi Shuang behind him, "Follow me later, don't rush forward on your own initiative."

Xi Shuang said "hmm" lightly.

Bai Yang felt that her 'hmm' was a bit perfunctory, so he quickly inserted the steel pipe back, turned his head and looked at Xi Shuang with a serious face and said, "Don't take it lightly. After all, we don't know what's in here. Either you listen to me and follow me, or you wait outside." Don't follow her in and cause trouble.

Of course, the last sentence was stuck in my throat and I didn't dare say it.

Xi Shuang looked at him quietly without saying anything, but she was thinking that this man was really long-winded and talked too much nonsense.

Seeing her serious expression, Bai Yang automatically understood that she had remembered it. After all, as a socially anxious girl, you can't expect her to answer you honestly every time.

Bai Yang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and pulled out the steel pipe, and when he pushed the door open, he did not forget to remind him again, "Follow me closely."

Xi Shuang rolled her eyes behind him.

A disgusting smell of a rotting corpse came over them, and they both held their breath and looked around vigilantly.

"Ho ho, ho ho."

The roars of zombies were heard from the second floor. The two of them made a quick check and found no zombies on the first floor, so they decisively turned to the stairs and went up to the second floor.

The glass door on the first floor was locked from the outside by steel pipes. Logically, there should be quite a few zombies on the first floor. But apart from the headless zombie lying on the counter, there was no other zombie.

Does that mean that the zombies on the first floor went to the second floor?

The one who can force and attract zombies to cross floors must be a survivor.

Therefore, when the glass door was locked from the outside, there were still survivors in the office building who had not left.

This reminded Bai Yang of when he was in Ningda. He ran away in time because of his quick reaction, but he heard that some students from other classes closed the classroom door when they ran out.

He locked up not only zombies but also his classmates who were not infected.

In the face of death, people's subconscious actions can truly reveal the truest side of their hearts.

There is nothing wrong with seeking survival, but the mistake is to cut off other people's way to survival.

Although Bai Yang is usually cheerful and seems to care about nothing, when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he still thinks of his classmates who used to go to class, play ball and have fun together, but they were separated in the blink of an eye.

Even Dong Zimo, his classmate who went back to Pengcheng with him, could not be found afterwards, and it is unclear whether he is dead or alive. But it is estimated that he is in grave danger.

All the events of the past flashed through Bai Yang's mind for only a moment, and then he and Xi Shuang tiptoed up to the second floor.

I don’t know if it’s because zombies have become sensitive to human scent, but as soon as the two of them went up to the second floor, zombies immediately pounced on them, roaring.

Bai Yang reached back with his left hand, grabbed Xi Shuang and quickly dodged to the side. His original intention was to avoid the zombie that attacked them and let it roll down the stairs.

However, Xi Shuang thought exactly the opposite of what he thought. She just raised her knife when Bai Yang grabbed her. She was caught and forced to move to the side, but the knife chopped down without any hindrance. With a "swish" sound, her knife slid along the zombie's back and cut through the work clothes on his body.

So when the zombie missed a step and rolled down the stairs, its entire back was exposed to the two of them.

Because Xi Shuang happened to raise her right arm to chop the zombie, Bai Yang grabbed not her arm, but
Feeling that the softness of his palm was a little different, Bai Yang didn't do what he thought. He turned his head to take a look, then let go and turned his head back.

But
When he raised his knife to face the other zombies who rushed over after hearing the noise, he suddenly felt like something hit his head. There was a loud bang. Just now, he touched Bai Yang's face and ears, which suddenly became hot and red.

In comparison, Xi Shuang was much more natural. Her body was only stiff for a moment at the beginning, but she was back to normal when Bai Yang took his hand away.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. He pulled her just to avoid the zombies, not like a pervert who really wanted to molest her.

Besides, he doesn't have the courage to do so.

Xi Shuang quickly put the matter aside and followed not far behind Bai Yang. He was responsible for the enemies coming head-on from the front, while she checked for any gaps, including those coming over from the side office area, or those that Bai Yang had not had time to kill.

But in fact, he didn't miss much. The specialty of speed users is speed, and the long sword in his hand is powerful, so even if the zombies have been "alive" for almost eight months, their heads and skins have reached a certain hardness, and he can almost kill them with one sword, or two swords, and chop off their heads extremely quickly.

Therefore, it was not easy for Xi Shuang to pick up a few.

This is not to say that there are fewer zombies on the second floor, but this is an office area, with offices with glass doors lined up on the side and partitions outside. They could walk around freely when there was no one around before, but now that there are people around, it would be difficult for them to swarm over.

He was able to pounce, but his movements were intermittent, which gave Bai Yang and Xi Shuang a good amount of time to buffer.

Not counting the zombies locked up in the small office, a rough estimate is that there are no less than fifty zombies in the large office area outside. If you add those in the office, there may be a hundred.

The two didn't have time to think about why there were so many zombies in the office area. Could it be that all the people working in this building had turned into zombies?
The two of them just kept killing in silence, and after killing those outside, they cleaned up the offices one by one.

During this period, a zombie on the third floor heard the noise and came down to the second floor.

So it became a situation where one kills the people in the office, and the other deals with the people coming down from upstairs.

It took Bai Yang a long time to get rid of the heat on his face, and all the while he kept a glance at Xi Shuang. Only then did he realize that this girl's skills were indeed as good as her brother said.

Whether he was swinging his sword or dodging and moving, everything looked very methodical and unhurried.

Like formally trained.

Like him.

It seems that Xi Yu is indeed strict and attentive to his sister.

Half an hour later, the two of them had cleared the second floor. Not all the zombies on the third floor had run down, and some were still roaring in the closed small office.

The two men shook their arms that were numb from chopping and planned to take a short rest before going upstairs.

"Although the zombies' skin has become harder now and is harder to cut than before, it is not without its advantages. Without blood, you won't get splattered all over."

Bai Yang made small talk, pointing at Xi Shuang, then at himself, and said with a smile, "We killed so many people, so it's still clean, right? Not much blood was stained."

It's impossible that there is none at all. There is a little, but it's really not much.

During those days with temperatures over 40 degrees, it seemed that the zombies' flesh and blood had been dried up, and they really became mummies.

Xi Shuang didn't say anything. When her eyes swept across Bai Yang's left hand hanging by his side, she paused, then moved her eyes away as if nothing had happened and looked away.

When Bai Yang noticed Xi Shuang's gaze, his left arm stiffened. No, it should be said that his whole body stiffened. Then his face and ears turned red again.

He thought about it and felt that as a real man, he should admit his mistakes and he couldn't be a coward, so he should apologize.

Then he coughed twice, "Ahem, um, Xi Shuang, I'm sorry for what happened just now, I, I didn't mean to, I just didn't pay attention"

Hearing Bai Yang's words, Xi Shuang turned her gaze away and looked at him quietly, her eyes calm and clear.

Faced with this kind of look, Bai Yang couldn't continue even if he wanted to apologize. He opened his mouth, feeling a little helpless.

After a long while, Xi Shuang said calmly, "I accept your apology. I know you didn't mean it. Even so, I hope you will be careful and don't do it again."

In fact, what she was thinking was, is this guy stupid? He knew it was just an emergency, so why did he bring it up?

Looking for trouble only adds to the embarrassment!
Fortunately, this is my sister-in-law's younger brother. If it was her younger brother, he would have been beaten half to death today.

He has no vision and low sex quotient.

snort!
However, Bai Yang grinned and revealed his big white teeth when he heard Xi Shuang's words. He said with a smile, "I knew you would understand. I just wanted to pull you to hide from the zombies. Of course, I didn't mean anything else. I just didn't expect that your arm would be raised so cleverly, and I caught it right away."

"Okay, I've rested enough. Let's go upstairs and finish cleaning up so we can go down earlier."

Xi Shuang stood up expressionlessly, cursing "SB" in his heart.

"Hey, don't go in front, stay behind me, yes, just like that, just do it the same way as when you went up to the second floor just now."

Xi Shuang followed behind with a gloomy face, but did not follow as closely as before. Instead, she deliberately kept a few steps away from Bai Yang.

Well, just try to prevent him from touching her when he extends his arm back.

Because of the commotion on the second floor, all the zombies on the third floor, except those locked in the office, basically gathered at the stairs.

As soon as they saw Bai Yang and Xi Shuang appear, they all rushed down screaming.

"careful!"

Bai Yang dodged to the side and subconsciously reached back with his left hand, but found nothing.

Bai Yang turned around and met Xi Shuang's indifferent eyes, while his left arm still maintained the posture of grabbing people from behind.

He was stunned for a moment, then reacted. His face suddenly turned red again. He pulled his hand back and turned to kill the zombies, while explaining in a low voice, "Sorry, it was just a reflex. I didn't mean anything else. I really didn't."

puff!
"Please focus, okay?"

Because Bai Yang was distracted explaining to Xi Shuang, his arm was nearly bitten by a zombie that pounced on him. Xi Shuang quickly took two steps forward, kicked the zombie away, then took another step forward to chop off its head.

She glanced at Bai Yang speechlessly. Is this the time to talk about this?

This idiot!

"Sorry. Thank you!"

Bai Yang's expression became serious and he immediately straightened his attitude. He moved forward with a flash and his knife slashed down. It seemed as if his right arm was endowed with new strength. He slashed at the head one by one, much faster than when he was on the second floor just now.

Twenty minutes later, the two of them had completely cleaned up the third floor.

The fourth floor is the general manager's office and conference room. It is quiet and there is not a single zombie.

The two of them walked around and when they went downstairs, Xi Shuang was holding a brand new set of tea sets and a laptop, while Bai Yang was holding a large cardboard box full of unopened napkins.

And there are more on top, not just this box.

"Let Qiqi and Xiaowu burn all the zombies later. I'll come up twice and move all the papers down."

Originally Xi Shuang wanted to help him move, but when she thought about how he had been naughty twice today, she didn't want to join him at all.

But before she could reply, Bai Yang had already made arrangements on his own, "You must be tired, so you don't need to come with me later. Let Sister Siyun come. She is very strong and may be able to finish moving everything in one trip."

The two returned to the RV, and Bai Li had already prepared the meal.

Bai Yang wanted to clean it up all at once, so he called Qiqi and Xiaowu to go back to the office building and burn from the first floor to the third floor. After burning, they moved some paper towels before coming back to eat.

"The equipment here is still in good condition. If we can move away, it would be great to open a paper mill in Pengcheng."

After lunch, they took a casual walk around the factory and found that not only was there not a single zombie in the workshop, it was actually quite clean. Except for some tools being a little messy and the machines and workbenches covered with a layer of dust, everything else looked intact. If there was electricity, it seemed that work could start at any time.

Bai Yang stroked his chin and said, "It's not impossible. Li Nan's place is close to the electric heating plant. Hasn't he already hired someone to repair it and is planning to start it up again? If we suggest that he open another paper mill, there's no guarantee that he won't be tempted."

not enough people?

What a joke, as long as you say that Pengcheng Agricultural Base needs people, which survivor in the surrounding area would not be tempted?

Maybe no one knew about it before, but in this month, I guess many places have heard of Pengcheng.

In addition to Li Nan's intentional or unintentional promotion of his agricultural base, the most important point is: there is not a single zombie in Pengcheng.

It is very difficult to control mad mutant animals, but Pengcheng suffered the least losses last time.

So it won’t be easy for Li Nan to recruit people.

Once the wall is completely closed, it will not be easy for anyone to enter Pengcheng.

good night!
