Chapter 21 19. The world outside the door

September 27, 200X at 5:47 am So far, I have nothing to worry about or be afraid of.I figured it out, the middle-aged uncle was right, now we have reached the point where either you die or I live.Anyway, I also started the killing ring, why not fight with that boy, the real murderer! I don't know where the courage came from. Holding an iron hook in one hand and an open flashlight in the other, I searched for the boy in the supermarket and screamed: "Hey, boy! Come out! I know What have you done, you murderer!" No one answered me, and the boy was nowhere to be seen.The flashlight in my hand was dangling around, and the iron hook was also waving up and down left and right like crazy.I quickly shuttled between the rows of shelves, smashing a lot of goods to the ground.But after turning the whole supermarket upside down, it was a mess, and I still couldn't find the boy.I was panting in despair, I don't know if he is hiding from me, or hiding in a dark corner, anyway, I can't find him - but I don't believe he can be in this secret room Disappeared out of thin air!I yelled loudly again in the empty supermarket: "Coward! What are you doing hiding? Come out, are you afraid of me!"

I stood there and waited for five minutes, the light of the flashlight was shining in all directions, and there was no movement.I realized that the boy would not come out on his own initiative, so I lit up and started a second round of searching in the supermarket. When I walked to the far right corner, the flashlight caught a person who was almost forgotten by me—the old woman.When the light fell on her face, I thought it was the most terrified face I've ever seen in my life.There is no doubt that her fear and panic at this time have reached the point where it cannot be added.I don't know if she was frightened by the series of murders before, or by my crazy behavior at the moment.But this is not my concern, anyway, she has that expression as always, and I am too lazy to pay attention to her.I stayed by her side for only a few seconds before I started looking for the boy again.

After tossing about for about half an hour, I was exhausted physically and mentally, and my voice was hoarse, but the boy really seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared completely.I don't have the mind and energy to spend with him anymore. Before my energy is exhausted, I have one more important thing to do. I've already figured it out-it's death anyway, I want to die to understand.Before the lamp of my life ran out, I decided to unravel all the mysteries - what virus broke out out there?What are those terrifying giant monsters?Is this area really empty?What does the world outside the door look like now? ——It is not difficult to know these questions. There is only one way: break open the door and go out.

Now I have no worries and fears.There was only one thought in my mind—if only it would give me one more glimpse of the outside world, I would not hesitate to die immediately afterwards.At least what I do is to understand ghosts, which is much more cost-effective than those people who died for no reason in the supermarket.I didn't hesitate any longer, and a huge force of sorrow surged in my body.I found by the door the tools the bearded man had taken out of the storage room.I held a thick flat-head rivet in one hand, and raised a hammer in the other hand. With a loud cry, I knocked hard on the iron rolling shutter door.

Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering loud noise in the empty and dead supermarket.Like going crazy, I used all my strength to slam the hammer against the rolling door again and again.Finally, the rivet pierced a hole in the iron rolling door, and I smashed it wildly along the gap, and a small crack of about ten centimeters appeared on the rolling door.I stuffed the hacksaw into the gap, screaming and sawing the door vigorously. After about a hundred times of sawing, the gap on the rolling shutter door expanded to half the height of a person.I saw hope, and hit the left and right sides of the gap dozens of times with a hammer-oh my god!A gap that can squeeze out of my body finally appeared!

I couldn't suppress the ecstasy and excitement in my heart. I stretched out one leg first, and then squeezed my whole body out desperately.The sharp part of the crack ripped my clothes and hurt my arms and back, and when my last leg came out, I lost my balance and fell to the ground, but I felt no pain at all— — I'm finally out! It's only after 6 in the morning, and it's still dark and foggy—or so I thought when I fell to the ground.At first I was so focused on how to get out that I didn't notice what was around me at all.When I got up from the ground and looked around intently, I saw everything in front of me.

At the moment when I looked around, time seemed to be frozen, and the whole world stopped turning at this moment. Before I came out, I had imagined countless pictures of the outside world in my mind, but what I see now is not any of them. I can't believe what I'm seeing now anyway. With me as the center, or this supermarket as the center, within a radius of 50 meters, there are more than a dozen police cars, ambulances and more than a hundred people densely surrounded, all of them are waiting in line and staring solemnly. I.Several nurse-looking people seemed to be coming towards me, but one stopped them with a hand gesture.Facing my direction, a few policemen behind a police car were whispering something on their mobile phones.In addition, I also noticed that the background behind them, that is, the streets, buildings, and shops, were all exactly the same as before I entered this supermarket, without the slightest change or difference.

Faced with this situation, my brain feels like a rusty gear that can't turn - what the hell is going on?Didn't the news say that everyone in this area was moved and evacuated due to the outbreak of the virus?The city has also been blocked and quarantined.What are these people in front of you doing here?Were they already here, or just now?If they were here before, why didn't anyone come to help us when we knocked on the supermarket door for help?Also, am I— am I dreaming? No, it wasn't a dream, there was pain—the wounds on my arms and back reminded me at this moment.So, what the hell is going on here?I stood there blankly, falling into an unprecedented confusion.
