C13 Human heart
"No, no, of course not. They are behind the hospital in the district. Even if they rob us, they won't be able to reach us." I was so preoccupied with what Kiki had just said that I wanted to get rid of my mother. I pushed her into the kitchen and said, "Mom, hurry up and cook. When Dad and the others come back, we'll have dinner."
"Aiyo!" How can I be in the mood to cook when you guys come back like this! Hurry up and tell us what's going on! " My mother is very smart. She doesn't want to leave.
Qi Qi's face was still very pale, Xiao Yu had to straighten her back for a while, then she finally looked at us once before she opened her mouth: "He Mo … Rainy... Don't blame me for making a fuss, but the situation is different now … No police, no system... You have not seen what people look like when they lose control … " She paused here for a long time, her eyes staring straight at the ground, as if she had thought of a terrifying scene, and her body started to tremble. When she spoke again, her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, "Big brother and I started it … It's hiding in a hotel restaurant... There are a dozen of us there... And one of them was a young mother with two months of children … "
She only said half of her sentence, and it was as if she couldn't bear the memories anymore. She hugged her head, leaned against the door, and slid down onto the floor. She bit her lips as she sobbed …
Xiaoyu and I hastily tried to support her. My mother was shocked by Qi Qi's reaction and shouted as if she wanted to help. "What's wrong with the child?" Why are you crying all of a sudden? Hurry up … Let's go back to the house first. "
The commotion of our return alarmed Tian Tian. He saw that Qi Qi was crying and stood blankly by the side for a while before he started wiping his tears as well. He tugged at my clothes and asked, "Sis …" What happened to Sister Qi? Why is she crying? "
I patted Tian Tian's back. "Big sis Qi is fine. What are you crying for …" Why are you crying when others are crying? "
In the end, there was no other way around it. My mom decided to take Tian Tian to my grandma's place first, in case something outside caught my grandma's attention and worried her.
When the three of us returned to the house, Xiaoyu closed the door behind her and patted her on the shoulder, "If you really don't want to say it, then don't say it …" Let's just ignore those two people … The two men couldn't possibly have starved to death just because they couldn't find food. Furthermore … Look at their appearance, they don't look like good people either. "
Qi Qi, who had been wiping her tears, shook her head, raised her head and looked at us both before continuing, "Really …" Things have changed, everything has changed … The undead were terrifying … However, there were some people who were scarier than living corpses! You guys haven't seen each other … Big brother and I have met, we have met … "
"What have you seen?" Although I shouldn't be trying to get to the bottom of this, it seemed to me from her reaction that there was something we had to know.
"Silently …" Xiao Yu called me.
When I thought she wouldn't answer, I finally said slowly, "At the time, there were a dozen of us in the restaurant, and only the young mother and I were girls. Her husband seemed to have been bitten to death, and we didn't understand what was going on at the time. That child of hers is very noisy and always weeps... As soon as she cried, she would feed her milk … Big brother and I talked to her for a while, but she couldn't accept that her husband was gone. It was as if she had no soul … "
"And then?" I asked in a low voice... He had already guessed something in his mind.
"Then... And after about a month, we sort of figured out what was going on … Other than Big Brother and I, everyone else seemed to be our former friends. At the beginning, we were probably scared and didn't really feel anything, but … When they finally realized what had happened, they suddenly changed … That morning, while I was still sleeping, I heard the girl cry out for help and the child cry out. "When I got up, I saw those people pulling that girl into the room next door. The child was thrown onto the ground …" Qi Qi should have controlled her temper and gradually calmed down. She clenched her fists as she said this, but she only let out a heavy sigh, "I wanted to stand up and ask them what they wanted … But he was stopped by my brother … He could only do his best to protect my safety … That young mother, there's no one to protect her, so the only thing left to do at this time is to act like the unlucky tragedy. "
"They gave her...?" Xiaoyu was not even able to finish her sentence before Qi Qi grabbed her and looked at us with her red eyes. "Do you know? A week after that woman went in! The men took turns to go in! At the beginning, he could still scream! The voice was completely silent! Later … "Not a single sound could be heard …"
"Where's the child? How is the child? " I scrunched my eyebrows. I felt as if there was a blockage in my heart. I couldn't breathe. It was very depressing.
"Child? Children... What could they do? So small... That night, he was probably hungry and was crying non-stop … I was bored to death by one of the men. "
After Qi Qi finished speaking, Xiao Yu punched the bed savagely, "These beasts!"
There was a long silence in the room.
I looked at Xiaoyu, who was wiping away her tears. I knew that she was probably feeling sorry for the girl and the child. Was that why you were so wary of the two men upstairs today? "
"There are more than two of them, but there are others in the room! He Mo, you should have noticed it right? While talking to us, they had turned around and looked at the house. It's definitely not just the two of them there! " Kiki usually seemed so delicate that I didn't expect her to observe her so carefully.
After being stunned for a moment, I nodded my head. My heart felt as though a huge rock had been placed on top of it. When my dad comes back with Chen Ming and the others, we'll talk about these things properly … "
Just as I said that, Xiao Yu ruthlessly wiped her face. "I can't understand. The situation right now is already that bad! How could those people be so detestable to those who were still alive?! Shouldn't we unite to deal with the undeads?! "
Hearing that, Qi Qi sneered, "Hmph …" A human heart … It was much scarier than any ghosts or deities. Previously, I firmly believed that there were many good people in this world, but the bad people were just a few of them … Now I know... The difference between good and bad was too vague. If he wasn't careful, he could have revealed the ugliest and dirtiest side of a normal person! Weren't those people in the hotel a good citizen who followed the law? How long had it been? What's the difference between them and animals? "
What Qi Qi said made Xiao Yu and I's originally unhurried vigilance increase by 100%. Using our skills and strength to deal with the stupid walking corpse was more like it. If we were to fight with a normal human, the three of us would be useless.
At the same time, I started to worry about my father, Chen Ming and the others who were out of the house.
While the three of us were deep in our own thoughts in the room, we forgot something important.
If people didn't offend him, then he wouldn't. That was a situation where both sides were evenly matched.
Just as the three of us were silently waiting for Chen Ming and the rest to come back, my mother's sharp voice suddenly came from the direction of the bathroom.
The sudden sound was especially ear-piercing in the empty corridor. Almost in an instant, I jumped up from the bed and rushed out of the room with my dagger on the chair, heading towards the toilet.
Very soon, Xiao Yu and Qi Qi followed up, and Grandma asked in a low voice from inside the house, "What happened? What are you shouting for? " No one replied to her words. Probably because they noticed the sound of our hurried footsteps, they shouted again, "Tian Tian, quickly go outside and take a look at what's happening. Come back and tell Grandma. "
Hearing that, I ran to the toilet, while raising my voice and shouting, "Grandmother!" Don't let Tian Tian come out! Lock the door, and don't come out! " Maybe it's because the story about Qi Qi left me with a lingering fear, and I don't know what's going on yet, but I have a bad premonition.
When Lin Wei's screams came from the toilet, I suddenly remembered that she had been eating bad stuff these past two days. Even after taking some medicine, she didn't look any better. Lin Wei usually doesn't talk much, and likes to sleep peacefully. That's why we arranged a room for her to stay in alone.
The door to the toilet was ajar. After running over, I kicked it open …
Soon after, we saw the two men from the old building, one holding my mother and the other Lin Wei's neck, holding a blade horizontally in front of their chests. When the door was kicked open, there were still two people climbing into the toilet's window.
