Chapter 1 Half a Bottle of Spoiled Milk

The extremely fast falling feeling made Lin Qi suddenly open his eyes. After concentrating for a long time, he could still feel his body slowly sinking downwards.

After taking a deep breath, his stiff body slowly regained consciousness, but the numbness like an electric shock still hadn't dissipated.

"Brother Lin, are you awake?"

The sound in his ears made Lin Qi turn his head subconsciously, but it gave him a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"You, are you Zhao Tuantuan?"

Most of his field of vision was blocked, and he could only see the upper half of the girl's face. He didn't recognize her, but the name came to mind.

When Lin Qi was about to observe his surroundings and find out why he was in this place, he suddenly felt a sting in his mind, as if countless information was pouring in, and there was another whirlwind, which almost made him dizzy.

"What kind of memories do I have? Have I traveled through time?"

But after the memories were quickly integrated, Lin Qi's face became increasingly ugly.

My name is exactly the same as the name of this body, and even my life experiences have many overlaps. It seems that I am another self in a parallel space!

And this world seems to be on the verge of doomsday and has begun to collapse!

"Brother Lin, let's have something to drink."

Tuantuan's voice was a little strange, and he took out a white bottle from his arms and handed it over carefully.

Only then did Lin Qi feel that there was soreness all over his body, and even a stabbing pain came from the back of his head, making him unable to cheer up.

This body of mine looks like it was beaten to death just now?

Immediately, he didn't care what was handed over to him and drank heavily.

"This milk has gone bad!"

After drinking it in one breath, I felt my stomach slowly moving, and a trace of residual energy slowly spread throughout my limbs.

Lin Qi licked the wetness at the corner of his mouth, and then carefully looked at the girl in front of him.

Zhao Tuantuan is the daughter of the hotel owner. She has just graduated from high school. She is eighteen years old. She has a well-behaved personality and cute appearance. I don’t remember having much contact with her. Even though I stayed in the hotel for nearly three months, I didn’t communicate with her a few times.

But now she looked dirty, her hair was greasy, and her body was covered in dust, as if she had deliberately soiled herself.

"I, I added some water. It shouldn't be a problem if you drink it."

Zhao Tuantuan lowered her head, not daring to let Lin Qi see the panic on her face.

Whether it was because of the effect of the half bottle of milk, Lin Qi gradually felt that his body had regained some strength, but when he thought about the environment he was in now, he became more and more anxious.

I have worked hard for half my life in another parallel time and space, and I have my own family business, but I haven't had time to enjoy it yet. When I wake up again, I will face a more miserable life!

After getting out of bed with Tuan Tuan's help, Lin Qi went to the window and took a look outside, feeling increasingly desperate.

It seems that all the memories I received are real. It has been three months since the end of the world!

This small hotel was originally the property of the Tuantuan family. When the virus spread three months ago, it was assigned as a temporary quarantine facility.

In the first month, the virus spread severely, and most people could not escape. However, the virus was not serious at first.

In the second month, some infected people recovered automatically, but in most cases the condition worsened, and some patients even showed signs of decay.

At the beginning of the third month, the virus broke out completely. Countless infected people mutated and turned into terrifying zombies that bit everyone in sight, making the order that had been maintained for two months completely useless.

Especially the patients who were quarantined in the past few days all turned into zombies and became unconscious living dead, which completely exposed their humanity.

In the past, Tuantuan's identity as the owner of the hotel was able to keep those people from being arrogant, but with the death of Tuantuan's family, the long-standing grievances trapped here could even be ignored by those who gave them favors.

Lin Qi just stopped them and was beaten. Fortunately, the restlessness of the zombies outside temporarily attracted their attention, and Tuantuan took him to her room, temporarily escaping the disaster.

Outside the window and downstairs, several figures holding simple long weapons were confronting several wandering zombies.

Zombies with decayed bodies move very slowly, and some of their limbs even have exposed bones.

But they don't need much attack power, just that ferocious and terrifying state, which is enough to make people sick and unable to use any force.

"Be on guard! Everyone, hold still, one of you will poke the chest and the other will poke the head! These zombies are easy to deal with!"

The leader was slightly fat, with a Chinese-character face, and gold-rimmed glasses. His voice was slightly deep, but he had a commanding tone. He huddled at the back and leaned slightly backwards, clearly sensing that something was not going well. There is a tendency to return directly to the hotel.

"Director Wang, you make it easy, but if you are bitten by a zombie, you will be infected!"

Although most people have experienced self-recovery from the first virus infection, if they are infected by this mutated virus for the second time, they will completely degenerate into similar creatures in a very short period of time.

Even scarier than this rotting zombie!

"Damn it! When this thing rushes in, we will all be infected!"

Fatty Wang, who looked like a leader, cursed angrily and kicked the man in front of him on the butt. He didn't have the courage to deal with zombies, but against people, his rhetoric was more effective than force.

The man holding the simple spear did not resist because of the kick, as if there was something more terrifying behind him, forcing him to face the monster in front.

"Humanity!"

Lin Qi stood in front of the window and looked at the scene outside. There were only four zombies wandering on the street, and there were eight survivors, but the only ones who were really in the front were the honest young man who was kicked and a strong man in a security uniform.

The remaining six people, some of whom were holding hangers, wooden boards, and fruit knives in their hands, were all timid and did not dare to move forward.

"When they come back, we will be in trouble!"

Lin Qi took a deep breath. In his memory, the fat man was a small leader. He was one of the people in the front before. The honest young man took his place. There were several zombies lying on the street. Obviously, the two had killed several of them.

Two days ago, when the virus broke out completely, he led the people on this level to take the initiative to clear the virus-carrying zombies out of the hotel, so he had some prestige, but it also caused the dissatisfaction of Director Wang.

Even if there will be no changes in the short term, after experiencing a dangerous situation, these people will accumulate some unreleased desires in their hearts. At that time, the only objects that can vent them are themselves and Zhao Tuantuan.

The sober people are isolated, the weak are bullied, and the fallen will be in collusion.

Perhaps it is the overlap of two lives that makes Lin Qi have a way of looking at things beyond himself, and he quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

"Brother Lin, why don't we leave secretly? Even if I die outside, I don't want to be... by them."

Thinking of what Director Wang said before, weak women are useless at all. It is better to let the main force resisting the zombies have some fun, strengthen their courage, and improve their fighting spirit. I felt a chill in my heart.

Director Wang had a good relationship with the Zhao family before, and it can even be said that he watched her grow up. I didn't expect that in order to establish his own prestige, he would make her a bargaining chip to win over others.

Zhao Tuantuan did not think about resisting, but she was just a high school graduate after all. Her parents died of the virus, which made her isolated and helpless. Only after Lin Qi stood up for her did she feel a sense of security.

But this kind of security could not last too long.

"In this situation, even if you leave, how far can you run, not to mention those people are outside."

Lin Qi calmly thought about the response strategy. At this moment, most of the people in the hotel were outside, and he was not without a plan to break the situation.
