Chapter 1 The end is coming(1/2)
"Clearance!"
Watching the game character on the screen kill the final BOSS with one punch, Wang Tao felt relieved.
In fact, his gaming addiction is not that big. After all, he is busy with work. But as long as he plays, he must do it perfectly. He can clear the level without any damage and unlock all achievements.
Of course, it is limited to single-player games, and his family cannot afford to play online games that cost money.
The game Wang Tao played this time was called "Apocalyptic Kill Kill Kill". It was a side-scrolling fighting game. It wasn't rich in content, but it was just for killing time. He didn't remember when he downloaded it. After playing it for a day, he finally achieved the goal.
Complete achievement.
"Go out for a big meal and reward yourself for your hard work!" Just looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Wang Tao frowned, "Why is it still raining..."
He is an ordinary martial arts stand-in. The reason why he is playing games at home instead of working today is because it is raining too much outside, causing all the crew's performances to be canceled today.
"I'm tired after a long day and don't want to cook... There is a small restaurant downstairs, not far from me..."
Wang Tao finally decided to go out to eat.
As soon as I opened the door, the door of the neighbor opposite also opened.
A young woman wearing a black dress appeared. She was holding a mobile phone in her left hand, a bag slung in her elbow, and lifting high heels with her right hand. Wang Tao couldn't help but take a second look at her long and shapely black silk legs.
"Good evening, sister-in-law!"
Wang Tao was a little surprised to see her, but he still greeted her politely.
The young woman's name is Ding Yuqin, and she is the wife of a young director named Zhao Yuan. They got married not long ago and are very affectionate. Wang Tao and director Zhao are fellow villagers, and they are both in the film and television industry. Although they don't have much interaction, they still have a lot of love.
If you are familiar with him, he will call you Brother Zhao when you meet him.
Wang Tao remembered that the couple returned to their hometown last month, but they didn’t know when they came back.
When the young woman heard Wang Tao's voice, she immediately raised her head, revealing a delicate little face with light makeup.
"It's Xiao Wang, good evening!"
Ding Yuqin smoothed her hair and smiled slightly.
Wang Tao pressed the elevator button for her, but Ding Yuqin did not go in, but suddenly said:
"I just remembered that I forgot something. You should go down first..."
Wang Tao's face froze slightly, but he still said politely:
"Okay, then I'll go down first."
He was disliked again, but he was used to it.
Ding!
Entering the elevator, Wang Tao sighed helplessly when he looked at the tall, 1.83-meter tall man in the elevator mirror and the ferocious scar on his face.
His face was accidentally injured during a filming, and he has developed a body that is comparable to that of a fitness instructor, which makes many people scared when they see him.
I think back then, he was just a young boy who had a chance to become a protagonist. But now he has become a martial artist, only for villains...
Smiling somewhat self-deprecatingly, Wang Tao walked out of the elevator, opened the unit door, and quickly rushed into a small restaurant called "Dakou Meat".
There was no one in the restaurant, and the old TV was playing the weather forecast. The host on the screen said that the heavy rainfall would stop tomorrow, and asked everyone not to panic.
"Boss Li, where is the person?"
Wang Tao shouted.
"coming!"
The sound came from the side door.
After a while, the boss in a raincoat came in carrying a military green oil drum.
"I was filling up the car just now, what is Xiao Wang eating?"
“A big portion of fried rice noodles!”
"Okay! Wait a minute!"
Not long after, the boss came over with a large portion of rice noodles and complained at the same time:
"Oh, with this damn weather, including Xiao Wang, we have less than twenty guests today, so we can't even make any rent..."
Wang Tao smiled and shook his head, then asked curiously:
"Where's Sister Liu? She didn't come today?"
They are a mom-and-pop shop, and Sister Liu is Boss Li’s wife.
"She has a fever and is sleeping inside. But there are no people around today, so I can do it alone."
Boss Li shrugged.
When Wang Tao saw this, he didn't say anything more. Today's heavy rain has made it impossible for many people to do their jobs.
"Let's go, boss, the money has been transferred to you, take a look!"
"No problem, walk slowly!"
The Xingfu community where Wang Tao lives is an old-fashioned community with a sense of age. It has only one small courtyard and four six-story buildings. It has a small permanent population and the elevator was added later. Wang Tao lives in No. 501, Building 4.
But unlike Director Zhao next door, his house was bought, while Wang Tao's was rented.
The monthly rent for two bedrooms and one living room is 3,000 yuan. Although this is not the center of Huangfeng City, it is relatively close to Huangfeng Film and Television City, so the rent is not cheap.
Originally, Wang Tao had a roommate who shared the rent, but that roommate gave up on his dream of becoming a star and returned to his hometown to get married. Wang Tao has recently been considering whether to move out because he can no longer afford the rent.
There are several dumbbells and a sandbag in the living room. Wang Tao exercises every day. After all, if you want to have a good figure, exercise is indispensable.
But forget it today, I finally have a day off, so just relax completely.
"Let's play on the computer some more until twelve o'clock. Go to bed early today."
As soon as he sat down, Wang Tao suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain all over his body.
Sizzling——
Looking at the sparking wires under his feet, Wang Tao's eyes widened, then his vision went dark and he fainted.
…
"……very hungry!"
In a daze, Wang Tao woke up from hunger and found himself lying on the floor.
Wang Tao quickly got up and looked at the scorched wires and computer. He was confused for a while.
"I was really shocked? Wasn't it a dream? Am I still alive?"
There were a lot of snacks on the table, and Wang Tao, who was so hungry, grabbed them and ate them.
"ah--"
Suddenly, a piercing scream came from outside.
He subconsciously came to the window to look, and then his pupils suddenly shrank.
"What the hell!"
In the courtyard of the community downstairs, I saw a man covered in blood pressing a middle-aged man under him, tearing and eating his flesh!
The man's eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that he was dying.
The bloody man raised his head, revealing a ferocious and terrifying face.
"Zombie, zombie?!"
Wang Tao's eyes widened in disbelief.
Filming? Impossible! He is too familiar with filming. This is obviously not the case, not to mention that there are no cameras or other staff. Just as he thought that there was no one else, several zombies came one after another from the blind corner of the field of vision.
, joined in this gluttonous feast together.
Wang Tao was in a daze for a while. The man on the ground had been almost cut into pieces.
"Ugh~"
Wang Tao felt nauseated and vomited out everything he had just eaten.
"Don't panic! Call the police!"
After forcibly calming down, Wang Tao quickly turned on his mobile phone and made an emergency call, but all messages showed that the line was busy.
He opened the browser on his mobile phone again, trying to search for the local emergency phone number. As a result, countless shocking messages appeared in front of his eyes at the same time.
"The end of the world is coming!"
"Zombies! The whole world is full of zombies!"
"The zombie virus is highly contagious! Please hide in a safe place and wait for rescue!"
"The whole world is being attacked by the zombie virus! It is recommended to take refuge in a less crowded place!"
"Known ways of spreading the virus are body fluids, scratches, bites, and air (suspected)"
"The incubation period of the zombie virus is between one minute and twenty-four hours, which may be related to the strength of your own immunity. Please be sure to take preventive measures! If you are unfortunately infected, please isolate yourself as soon as possible and remove the infected part
