Chapter 29 Chapter Eleven

April 9.Monday.Afternoon, 14:59. The sun shines on the white hospital bed and the body wrapped in quilts from the gaps in the iron railings.In addition to the smell of disinfectant and medicine in the ward, there is also the seductive smell of shampoo in her hair.This head of black and glossy long hair has just been washed, can it wash away the dirt and secrets of the seven days and seven nights underground? Facing this twenty-five-year-old young woman, Ye Xiao did not rush in, but knocked a few times on the outside of the glass wall until he heard a calm and composed voice "Please come in", before he walked to the hospital bed in a serious manner.

"I know who you are." Before he could start asking questions, Mo Xing'er said first.She didn't have an infusion tube inserted into her body, but her face was slightly pale, her straight long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her pair of bright eyes were very moving.Ye Xiao stared straight at her face, but his heart throbbed, and he really wanted to turn around and stop looking at her eyes, as if just one more look would reveal some long-forgotten scars. He forced himself to answer calmly, "Did the nurses tell you?" "Well, thank you very much for saving us!"

From the size of her shoulders and arms, and the figure hidden under the covers, she was a tiny woman, with a lithe and lovely figure, as charming as her voice. However, Ye Xiao would not be fooled by this gentle appearance, from the depths of Mo Xing'er's expression and seemingly friendly eyes, he found that this woman was tough beyond ordinary people. "You also know what I want to ask you?" Mo Xing'er replied calmly: "Yes, you want to know everything that happened underground." "Please tell me exactly." "You know, we spent seven days and seven nights underground. Everyone thought that the end of the world was coming, that they were bound to die, and that there would be no hope of salvation. However, even if we lived an extra day or even a minute, no one would They will do their best, except for those who want to commit suicide."

"You're working underground to gather water and food?" "Of course, it's just instinct. Is this news that moves the whole world? The reason why we help each other is just to live a few more days. There is no friendship between each other, it is purely a need for survival." "I'm sorry, but I'm not a reporter, I'm a police officer. What I want is the truth, whether it conforms to the wishes and aesthetics of the public." "Anyway, that's what I think. Survival is the only purpose of being underground, and I can do anything for this."

When these words are spoken from a beautiful woman, people will always think of something, Ye Xiao frowned: "Then what did you do?" "Survive." She took a deep breath, "What do you want to hear?" "I don't mean anything else, I just want you to explain in more detail." "Eat——everyone hoarded a pile and hid them in their respective shelters. It is strictly forbidden to use open fires for cooking underground. Everyone moved microwave ovens and rice cookers, but the use time was fixed, and the electricity would run out after the meal. Electricity, the professor asked everyone to eat dry food without heating as much as possible. Fortunately, the house price has finally dropped to zero in the end of the world. Everyone is looking for a shop, usually with a private space, as a home in the ground. Most of these shops are located on the second and third floors , Later, the air in the underground became more and more turbid, and many people moved to the seventh floor and above. Besides eating, they just slept, chatted, or just dazed out of boredom. Anyway, there is plenty of time...how do I go to the bathroom?"

"No need." Ye Xiao kept a distance from her all the time, and now he took half a step back. "I can tell you. At the beginning, there was still some tap water in the water pipes of the mall, and it was all used up the next day. Not to mention the toilet was unusable, and you could only use mineral water to wash your face. We went to the pet store and found a lot of cat litter Things like that, piled up in the toilet, can temporarily solve the sanitation problem for a few days." Cat litter?Did you make a mistake, girl!Nima is too creative!However, the vitality and imagination of human beings in extreme environments can never be underestimated.

"Okay, now that we've talked about cat litter, let me ask again—we found a lot of dead animals, what happened?" Mo Xing'er's face changed slightly, and she shrank back into the bed, only showing one face, and replied with a strange expression: "You, I finally got the point. From the second day after we were buried in the ground, everyone began to discuss The problem with these animals, those cats and dogs that escaped from the pet shop, and the rats that ran down from the cinema on the ninth floor, are frantically looking for food, and they spoil a lot of food in the supermarket. We are forced to start food with animals. Scramble. I hid a lot of canned food and snacks in the women’s clothing store on the third floor, only to sleep for two hours, and found that most of the packages had been unpacked. Towed away."

"So you're going to exterminate these animals?" "It seems that men have this kind of thinking mode! The professor first proposed this idea and asked everyone to unite to remove all cats, dogs, mice, and all other animals. He said this is hell on earth, not Noah's ark, we don't need Protect these animals. Although it is cruel, it is necessary to reserve enough living space and resources for human beings." "Sure enough, the professor is a Darwinist who believes in the law of the jungle." "I think so too. However, the professor is our authority in the underground, and several survivors are his diehard fans. No one dares to object to his opinion. What's more, from a rational analysis, from the perspective of everyone's desire to survive , everyone tends to exterminate animals, even people who used to have pets."

"At that time, no one objected?" "Yes, it's that man." "Which man?" Ye Xiao noticed that she felt weird when she said "that man", and even his eyelids trembled slightly. "Sorry, I always call him like this—he is the owner of Future Dream Building, Luo Haoran, who is also wearing an Armani suit underground, and is leading a naughty Labrador dog. He has reservations about destroying animals and hopes that No mass bloodshed. And, at any rate, must protect his Churchill - the name of the Labrador. He is the owner of the building, and the dog is said to have saved many lives, so no People are against him. Luo Haoran also said that he would save his share of meat for his loyal dog."

"what's next?" "The men began to brutally kill. There was a young shopping mall security guard. His hometown was in the countryside and he often ate dog meat, so he was proficient in various methods of killing dogs. Under his guidance and the professor's ingenuity, he quickly produced A batch of tools for hunting cats and dogs." "Which people participated in the hunt?" Ye Xiao stared into her eyes and asked relentlessly, "Can you name them?" "First, it's the security guard, who seems to be called Yang Bing. The second is the supermarket employee, his name is Tao Ye. The third is the white-collar worker who works in the office building of Future Dream Building. He recovered quickly from minor injuries and actively participated in killing dogs. Action, named Xu Pengfei."

Mo Xing'er suddenly paused when she said this, and Ye Xiao found a trace of indescribable fear in her flickering eyes, although it was only for a moment. "Go on." "Finally, it's that third-rate writer, Zhou Xuan." Hearing the evaluation of "third-rate writer", Ye Xiao couldn't help feeling chills for his best friend in his youth. "What do you think of Zhou Xuan?" This question kept her silent for a few seconds, and suddenly she asked, "Is he dead?" "Don't you know he's still alive? He's also one of the six survivors." "Oh." She replied so calmly, but shook her head again, "This person is very strange." "How strange?" "I can't explain clearly. He often said some irrelevant things, such as: If we can survive forever, we will change the whole world and create a new future for mankind—even if there are only twenty or so of us left in all mankind, at least No lonelier than Adam and Eve." Ye Xiao nodded secretly, this is indeed Zhou Xuan's style, a dreamer deep in his heart. "anything else?" "Are you asking about Zhou Xuan? I don't really care about this guy. I just think he might be mentally ill." Although, she said it lightly, Ye Xiao was expressionless, but he was roaring in his heart - you are lying! Mo Xing'er stuck out the upper body of the quilt and took a big sip of water: "Can I continue talking about the hunt and kill operation?" "Please--" "The main reason is that the four of them are killing dogs and cats with their hands. Using those terrible hunting tools, it scares us women." "Where's the professor?" "He is a military adviser, and he always commands behind the scenes, so he doesn't have to do it himself." Hearing this, Ye Xiao felt contempt in his heart. Mo Xing'er continued: "The next night—although there is no day and night underground, in order to prevent everyone from forgetting the time, everyone will be forced to report the time to each other. The security guard Yang Bing caught the first dog, and he On the basement floor of the supermarket, there is a poor little Pomeranian. What a crime, such a small dog, actually... Anyway, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard that the four of them hanged the dog together..." Speaking Here, she stopped again, clutching her chest. "Sorry, you have to go on." "I was just imagining the scene at that time. In fact, I have seen more terrifying pictures than this with my own eyes! However, in the early hours of that day, in the process of trying to capture the second dog, the husky desperately They resisted and bit Yang Bing. In the end, they made concerted efforts to hang it to death. Although Yang Bing was not seriously injured, and he was not worried about rabies. Anyway, the end of the world would kill him sooner or later, but everyone felt sorry for them. This brutal and savage hunting method raised strong doubts, especially the women among the survivors. In the early morning of the third day, everyone had a fierce quarrel. The boy named Xiaoguang insisted on stopping the hunting, and almost fought with Yang Bing and Xu Pengfei. Get up. In the end, the professor made a verdict—the hunting operation continued, but the original method of force was changed. First, it was inefficient and only killed two dogs all night; second, the process was too bloody and cruel, which made the underground survivors feel uneasy. , affect everyone’s mental state, and it will also lead to bitter fruit; third, it is not safe and will bring danger to the hunter. After discussing with everyone, the professor decided to adopt the mildest method—poisoning.” "I already guessed." "There is only rat poison in the supermarket, which is not enough to kill cats and dogs. However, the professor used his ingenuity to collect some daily-use chemicals from the shelves of the supermarket, locked them in a small room and prepared them. Potion. Due to the large amount of raw materials, a few large barrels were prepared, let alone poisoning these cats and dogs, and even poisoning all survivors. Therefore, only the professor can touch these poisons and close the small room with a few big locks Get up. The professor personally smeared the poison on meat sausage, beef jerky, chocolate, canned fish and other things that cats, dogs, and mice love to eat. What is even more amazing is that these poisons are colorless and tasteless, and the dog's nose is hard Identify them. Then, Yang Bing, Tao Ye, Xu Pengfei, Zhou Xuan, these four men put poisonous food in every corner of the building. The professor also warned all the survivors not to pick up the food on the ground, especially Yang Zi. Keep an eye on Zhengtai and don't let the child run around. Fortunately, this child is very smart and he understands what poison is. As for the dog named Churchill, Luo Haoran locked him in a room and took him to a place where there was no poison every day Go for a walk—this dog is quite a leprechaun, and soon knows what's poisonous." "You succeeded?" "Half success. That night, they found two dead dogs, three dead cats, and dozens of dead rats in the supermarket. On the fourth day, I found another poisoned dog on the sixth floor. However, there are still some dogs and cats that did not die, and the rats are still active. According to everyone’s judgment, it may not be fatal immediately after being poisoned. Some large dogs have tenacious vitality and may not die until dozens of hours later. Some cats Dogs died in some unknown corner, so sometimes we smell putrefaction and don't know where it's coming from." "Well, I also saw the dead animals." "However, if that's the case, it's fine. The most unexpected thing is that we are in great trouble because of this!" As soon as these words came out, Ye Xiao frowned, but his voice was still calm: "Because you killed cats and dogs with poison?" "Listen to me—on the fourth night, we found the body of security guard Yang Bing. He died in the men's room on the second floor of the mall, his face was bloody and his neck was almost broken. There is no doubt that he was Killed by a dog!" "Animal revenge? Because he was the first to make a tool for catching dogs, and he was also the first to kill the first dog?" "Two hours later, the second deceased was found, that is, Guo Xiaojun, the rich second generation. His death was even worse, his head was almost gone, and he could only be identified by his Dior suit—he was the only one among the survivors wearing it. Gotta get that tight suit. There was a lot of dog hair left, probably a huge golden retriever, I also saw this stray dog ​​roaming the ground with my own eyes. Surprisingly, the golden retriever is not the most docile in the world How could they suddenly attack humans and cause such a tragic result? However, recalling the cruel behavior of Yang Bing and others towards those cats and dogs, there is actually no essential difference between humans and animals." "Sometimes—" Ye Xiao also had to admit her sharp point of view, "It is true." "When everyone looked at Guo Xiaojun's body at a loss, another man screamed from upstairs. Everyone picked up shovels and sticks, and I boldly followed behind and rushed up the three flights of stairs—— , at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor, there were at least three dogs, two cats, and a bunch of mice, stepping on a person and constantly biting that person! I saw with my own eyes that a cat had a bloody stick in its mouth. fingers! There was also a dog that dragged a strange rope very far—it was Xu Pengfei’s intestines that I later found out.” Perhaps, only Ye Xiao would not feel like vomiting after hearing these disgusting descriptions.While imagining this picture, he paid attention to Mo Xing'er's expression.Strangely, she didn't have the fear she had shown before, but became more and more excited as she spoke, almost every word could arouse her passion, as if she was on drugs-seeing the scene of a group of cats and dogs killing people, it was true. Can it make her happy?Especially, when the word "Xu Pengfei" was mentioned at the end, she had a refreshing expression on her face, as if she had finally passed out after being constipated for several days. This is what really scares Ye Xiao. "Xu Pengfei just died like this. I think his death must have been very painful, no, it was very painful!" Mo Xing'er shuddered, perhaps sat in the same position for a long time and turned his neck involuntarily, "Man They attacked the group of animals, they were really enraged, a black cat was slapped to death by someone's shovel on the spot, because it was eating Xu Pengfei's genitals--sorry, I said this directly, because I saw it with my own eyes See, basically this man became a eunuch. Xu Pengfei should feel lucky for himself—he died within a minute of becoming a eunuch! If he survived, it would be a greater pain. His face is basically preserved, only the body parts The tragedy was beyond description, so when we saw his expression, it was almost impossible to live or die, and he only hated himself for not dying immediately." "Enough, you are beyond the normal range!" Ye Xiao interrupted her description.How can a seemingly weak girl face the cruel scene so directly?Remember that lucid, sensual retelling?Either she is crazy, or the person who listens to the story is crazy! "I'm sorry." She lowered her head and straightened her hair. She was so excited that she even lost her hairpin just now. "In short, everyone was shocked by this scene. The professor also noticed the seriousness of the situation. He called everyone to live together as much as possible. , It is absolutely not allowed to move alone, even to go to the toilet, two or more people must go together, and dog beating tools must be brought-it is a war! However, no matter how careful we are, tragedies continue to happen. First, a female cleaner They were found dead in the corridor on the third floor, and those who were seriously injured were attacked by several vicious dogs overnight. They were all people with limited mobility and had no power to fight back. " "Who else died?" "I don't remember clearly. Anyway, many people died. It's too miserable!" "Those people who died later in the ground were all because they were attacked by animals?" "Yes, that's all I know. Later, we buried the corpses on the fourth floor underground—although they were not buried in the ground, but one or two hundred meters below the ground, they can be regarded as graves." "Where's Luo Haoran's dog?" Ye Xiao recalled the first life he discovered underground, the Labrador dog staring at him, "Has it ever gone mad?" "No. I remember Churchill being tame and the only animal we could all trust." "And what about Luo Haoran himself? When was the last time you saw him?" "Him? This person is relatively withdrawn, rarely talks to others, and spends all day with his dog. He is the owner of the building and is responsible for maintaining the underground generator, as well as the building's monitoring room and power system. Also Only he knows the structure of this maze-like building best, anyway, even if I stay for another seven months, I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out. In the last two days, we hardly saw him, completely elusive. He is not too afraid of those Vicious dog, it may be because his aura is too strong, as long as you carry an iron rod with you, no animal will dare to approach him—except Churchill." "Before you were rescued, didn't you see him?" "In the end, everyone rushed to the cinema on the ninth floor, feeling that they might be saved, and then we were all crushed in the aisle of the cinema." Perhaps because this memory was less than 24 hours old, she closed her eyes and shook her head, "But I didn't see Luo Haoran." After finishing speaking, she showed a tired look and yawned, hinting to Ye Xiao not to disturb her rest. Ye Xiao ended the investigation: "Thank you for your cooperation." Before walking out of the ward, he turned to Mo Xing'er who was about to sleep and said, "You know? You remind me of someone."
