Chapter 22 Full Outburst(1/2)
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
The You family is not big, with two and a half bedrooms, one kitchen and one bathroom, and the living room and the dining room are connected. In addition to the two south-facing rooms, there is also a small room facing north, which is used by You's mother as a storage room.
You Xi changed his shoes and walked into the living room, and only then did he know the reason why You's mother didn't stay in the grocery store below today - there were customers at home.
To be precise, the other party came uninvited - she was the landlord of Youmu's grocery store garage.
The other party's surname is Tan, and he lives in Building 8. Before, because her son got married, the car garage was empty. She didn't want to waste the place, so she rented it to You's mother for 800 yuan a month.
Aunt Tan’s family has very good conditions, but it has unique features in terms of money. After the groceries were released, Aunt Tan saw that You’s mother’s business was good, and she felt that renting her 800 yuan a month was too low, and she always wanted to increase the rent.
During the Chinese New Year, it rose by 200 yuan, which is now 1,000 yuan per month, but she is still not satisfied. It’s okay for others to rent a garage of 800 yuan to live in it for themselves. But You’s mother is opening a store to do business, and 1,000 yuan is still less.
But Aunt Tan also knew that if she raised the price again, You's mother might have rented it in the garage. But she was also unhappy. She always wanted to find some money from other places, so she didn't pay for everything when she came to the grocery store to get things. She said that she was banning the account. She was banning it, but she never paid the account.
You’s father and mother in this world are a worker, with little learning and little knowledge, and are easier to talk to. They always feel that it’s better to do less than anything more. Sometimes even if others do something wrong and there are conflicts, they always apologize first, saying that they suffer losses and are blessed.
You Xi digested the pictures about You’s father and mother that appeared in his mind, and understood the personality trait of silence and inferiority given by the world’s characters a little.
Aunt Tan has also been a "customer" before, and she came to her house for money only. Although she knew that the rent could not rise, she could not rise. It is still okay to express it with the attitude of giving alms and doing good deeds.
For example, lamenting that prices have risen, there is not enough money to spend; when the wife is sick, there is not enough money to spend; when the son wants to have a child, there is not enough money to spend...
Generally, after the end, even if the rent cannot be increased, I can bring some grocery items from my mother, and most of the time, my mother will still keep food.
You can eat, drink and take it, and you can also be held by kind words. Such a "guest" will certainly come if you don't invite it.
However, Aunt Tan was sitting in the living room today, her face was a little bad.
Perhaps because You Xi was too anxious when she called before, and You's father and mother loved her daughter very much, she turned aside from normal and left Aunt Tan alone in the living room. Both of them were searching for certificates in the room.
"Xiaoxi, your parents have been searching for your certificate for a long time but still haven't found it. What kind of certificate is it?"
You Xi looked at You's father and mother who were full of anxiety, then glanced at Aunt Tan who was constantly rolling her eyes, curled her lips and smiled.
"It's okay, mom and dad, don't worry, the certificate has been resolved, I have other important things to tell you now."
She went up to hug You's mother, turned to look at the sofa, "Aunt Tan, our family has important things, please go back first."
Tan Qian changed her legs and looked at You Xi with a smile: "Xiaoxi, stop making trouble. I have just arrived not long ago and I still have something to talk to your mother."
You Xi grabbed You's mother who wanted to speak: "Aunt Tan, are you talking about rent increases?"
"I'm not unkind. Didn't I just discuss with your mother and you called me? Your parents found it after hanging up the phone. Now, I've been waiting here for more than an hour, and my time is also very precious."
She said that's it, but the past scenes told You Xi that she would not leave until she finished the meal today.
"Okay, then I won't waste your time. The lease will be until the end of this month. We will not rent it from next month. Please refund the previous deposit."
Generally, houses such as rental houses or residential buildings need to be paid, mainly because they are afraid that the tenant will cause some damage to the house. The deposit is to protect the interests of the landlord.
But I have never heard of a deposit from a rental garage. The total amount is more than 20 square meters, and there are cement walls. Why do I need a deposit? Tan Qian just bullies You’s father and mother and is easy to talk to, so she asked for a deposit of three months, which is 2,400 yuan.
"What did you say?" Tan Qian suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"We will clear the garage before the end of the month and return the keys to you. The deposit is 2,400 yuan. Since you are here specifically today, please pay back the deposit first. Do you think you are transferring money to Taobao or to a letter to transfer money to?"
You's father and mother were stunned. You's mother wanted to speak, but she was pulled by her daughter. Her personality was already soft, so she endured it first.
Tan Qian wanted to have an attack at the moment, but You Xi had already opened the door first: "Refund the deposit, or leave, choose one."
"Auntie You, look at your little girl, you're so amazing! I'm just here to discuss it. If you don't agree, why do you immediately call for a refund of the deposit?" Tan Qian rolled her eyes, but her mouth immediately turned around.
She was able to get a bargain because her father and mother were weak-minded, and even if You Xi was at home, she would just stay in the room. She didn't expect that she would be so tough today and wanted to cancel the rent just after a few words.
"Refunding the lease is a big deal. Even if I ask me to refund the deposit, you have to clear the garage. Who knows what you have used the garage? I must check it before deciding how much it will be refunded..."
You Xi didn't want to hear her talk too much, and she knew that the garage had not been cleared for a day and returned the keys, the other party could not refund the deposit. She just wanted to shut up while driving the other party away: "Then this matter is over, please, we have something to do with our family."
Tan Qian was given face today and felt dissatisfied with her. She wanted to continue to take advantage of her verbally, but You Xi was no longer patient and pulled her arm directly. With a little force, she dragged the person directly to the door.
Tan Qian had not changed her shoes before entering the house. You Xi glanced at her feet, dragged the person outside the door, closed the door directly, and didn't even make her jump.
Afterwards, she ignored Tan Qian's cursing voice outside the door and pulled You's father and mother who had begun to ask questions and question her to the dining table: "My parents, something happened outside, please calm down and listen to me."
Half an hour later, Tan Qian outside the door had already left.
You Xi used various videos of zombies attacking people saved from the Internet on his mobile phone, and cooperated with popular science on zombie mutation, aggression, damage, and the consequences of being bitten, which made You's father and mother understand the current situation outside.
But understanding does not mean completely believing.
You's mother was frightened by the monster that was eating people in Youxi's mouth. She was a little confused and was thinking about her daughter's high school entrance exams. She asked her if she wanted to go back to school, what if she didn't go back to class and what to do in the exam.
"What school should I go back to? Didn't you hear Xiaoxi say that there are all people-eating monsters in the school? What kind of class tests are there? If you are bitten and die, what else can you go to school!"
Youfu's thoughts were clear, "Also, Xiaoxi said that the earliest group of zombies did not mutate through biting, which means that ordinary people may mutate at any time even if they stay at home... You and me..."
Youfu didn't continue to say the following words.
You Xi looked at You's father and his ideas were correct. According to normal probability, You's father and You's mother have the chance to become a type A mutant.
But this matter is not valid in You Xi's inference.
The difficulty of this apocalyptic world is medium and low, and her main task is to escort You’s father and mother to the 28th refuge safely. If they become type A mutants, it means that the mission has failed before it even started.
Although this system emphasizes that failure of a mission will lead to death, it will not give such a dead end.
After the reverse inference, she could be sure that You’s father and You’s mother must be safe.
"Dad, don't worry, the initial mutation will show some symptoms, and you, mom and I don't have these symptoms. No matter what, the three of us are now at home, neat and safe. There are a lot of food and food in the pantry at home. We will stay at home first, and then we will talk about the situation."
She said this because the community where they live is located at the southern end of the entire S City, which is located at the edge of the city. If you walk a few distances southwest, there is a highway entrance, and the national highway is not far away.
In addition, the elevated intersection is just two streets away from the community. There are several car dealers nearby. There are many small restaurants and supermarkets around the community, and there are also one large supermarket.
It is not in a downtown city, it is quick to leave the city and has abundant supplies around it.
In addition, Youjia has a car. Because it needs to be transported by running a grocery store, You's father bought a second-hand van and was carefully maintained and repaired. Although it was old and crisp, its performance was pretty good.
At this moment, the car was parked in the parking space in front of Building 3. If something really happened, I was anxious to leave, and I could leave immediately.
She still doesn't know where the shelter No. 28 is. Although it will be safer to leave the city in the early stage of the zombie outbreak, where should they go after they leave the city?
What if you get further and further away from Shelter No. 28?
They always have to find a place to rest at night. What if a zombie tide breaks out in the place where they rest?
With so many uncertain risk factors, it is better to not go anywhere for the time being and stay at home. When the shelter appears on the 28th, or if the city really can't stay, she will take You's father and mother away.
"Yes, yes! Xiaoxi is right. We will stay at home in the next two days, and the family is safest. Xiaoxi must be hungry. Mom goes to cook first, and let's talk about it after you have something to do."
When Yu's mother found something she could do, she seemed to have a backbone and immediately turned around and went to the kitchen to work hard.
You Xi was about to go to the storage room to remove some of the things in the Star House warehouse. Before the door was opened, he heard a loud bang in the community outside, as if something had hit.
The family of three immediately ran to the living room and looked out on the balcony facing south, opened the window on the right.
The fifth floor plus the first floor garage is a height of six floors. If you look out at such a height, and it is the center, you can bring the situation of most of the community into your vision.
At this moment, there was a lot of noise in the driveway in front of the community park. A black car hit a tree. Perhaps because the car was very fast when it hit, the front hood was lifted up halfway.
An electric bike was almost knocked down, but fortunately it was only brought by the front of the bike. The father riding the bike was still with a child. At this moment, he stood up in fear and scolded the car.
Those who came back from buying vegetables, those who came back from get off work, those who came back from get out of class, and those who took their kids home for dinner on weekends... The onlookers stood around and asked the people in the car to get out to give an explanation.
This scene was strangely familiar, and You Xi felt cold, but it was too late to go downstairs to stop the onlookers at this time.
"How can you drive so fast in the community? If you hit someone, something big will happen."
When You's mother saw the car crashing like that, she couldn't help but sigh, "Do we want to go down and take a look? The father and son riding the electric bike seemed to be from the third floor downstairs."
You's father grabbed You's mother and emphasized: "You have a clear mind! Xiaoxi just said that it's very dangerous outside. As long as you are bitten by those monsters, it will mutate. The car will hit you for no reason. You don't know what you are doing now. What do you want to do if you go down! Deliver food!"
You's mother was scolded and calmed down a little, but she looked at the noisy community that was no different from usual, but she still didn't really believe that the situation would suddenly become so bad. What kind of biting monster is like a fantasy...
However, a shrill scream suddenly came from downstairs, like a basin of ice water, poured down on her mother, making her mind that was unclear, awake completely.
The door of the car that hit the tree was already opened. The person who knocked on the glass to explain was bitten on his arm at this moment, and it was so painful that he screamed and wailed.
There were many people around. A young man was holding a heavy courier in his hand. Seeing this, he smashed it hard. The bitten person was rescued. He held a piece of bloody arm with a piece of meat missing and rolled and crawled back.
The zombie lost the delicious meal at her mouth, roared, and rushed towards the person closest to the next person in the screams of everyone.
Everything had just begun, but in a few seconds, several more people were bitten. The security guard of the community rushed over. The strong young man kicked the zombie away and saved the person. Then, with another security guard, he pressed the roaring zombie to the ground, and tied his arms with a rope.
"What's this?"
"Oh my God, you look at his face and eyes!"
"I saw the video online before, and I thought it was fake! This...is a zombie!? That kind of monster that can bite people!"
The security guard with the rope tied up looked up: "This person should be just sick, so he took the person to the property office first, and then called the police--"
Before he finished speaking, screams came from behind the crowd again. The first person to be bitten mutated in a very short time and then attacked the person closest to him.
"Everyone should disperse, this thing will be contagious if it bites people!" Someone shouted, and the crowd was completely in chaos, pushing and avoiding each other, running away in a panic.
Someone was surrounded by two zombies after falling down, and his neck and stomach were bitten at the same time. Both parts were vital. Accompanied by the miserable and distorted pain, a large piece of blood spurted out...
At the critical moment of life and death, most people had their survival instincts, ran quickly to the nearest corridor, and closed the security door of the building. Some people were also lucky that their home was right next to them, and they ran home quickly and closed the door.
But no one knows how many zombies have been bitten by zombies in the corridor...
Not long after, a shrill scream came faintly from the corridors everywhere.
To be continued...
