344, Mutant 07
"Why don't Hengman eat?"
Yu Heng said hesitantly: "Mom, I seemed to hear gunshots."
"Gunshots? Are the troops arriving?!" Zheng's mother was overjoyed.
"No, it sounds to me like it's in the back row of buildings."
Father Zheng said: "Then don't worry about it, we can't control it. Eat quickly, little sister, come with me after you finish. I have something to tell you." The last sentence was addressed to Yu Heng.
"Oh. Dad, what do you want to say to me?" Yu Heng pretended to be curious and said warily: "You don't want to criticize me, do you? I just performed so well, you are not allowed to confiscate my gun!"
Zheng's mother rarely agreed with her daughter. Although guns were scary and dangerous, if her daughter hadn't been brave enough to aim accurately, none of their family would have survived today. "Husband, what do you want to say to my little sister? Don't be too harsh."
Father Zheng had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's make a deal here, lest you think I'm secretly lecturing her and feel sorry for her." He turned to Yu Heng and said, "You, you've been too brave recently, so just say During the day, the mutant birdman came into our house and he caught you, and you rushed towards him, scaring me and your mother to death. Although nothing happened later, can you guarantee that things will go smoothly in the future? Just listen to me and you. Mom is here, so there’s no need for you to take risks, got it?”
Yu Heng responded one by one.
"Dad, your cell phone is ringing." Zheng Hengli reminded.
Father Zheng's face was heavy after answering the phone: "Minmin is in danger! She said that her neighborhood is surrounded by mutants. Now there are mutants breaking down the door outside her house. I have to save her!"
"What do you mean?!" Mother Zheng was shocked: "You want to go to Hecong? No, I won't allow you to go!"
"But she is alone and has her child with her. Chen Jun hasn't come home yet. I think the situation is very serious. I have to go and take her home."
Mother Zheng covered her forehead and raised her head, looking like she couldn't bear it. She waved her hands and shouted in a suppressed voice: "Do you know how far away He Cong is? There are mutants not only at her door, but also at our door! How are you going to get there? ah?!"
Father Zheng grabbed her: "Calm down! Calm down! I can, I'll drive there, I still have a gun! What they want is to eat people. They will be scared when they see the gun. It's just two people to eat. I can threaten Theirs! That’s my only sister, I can’t leave her alone!”
"What about us? What will happen to me and my daughter if something happens to you? What do you want us to do?" As Zheng's mother collapsed and cried, Zheng's father still left, taking away two guns and a box of food from home.
After Zheng's father left home, Zheng's mother cried for a long time, until the sky turned dark, the mutants outside seemed to be hunting away, and the surroundings began to return to deathly silence.
"Mom, stop crying, my sister and I are here." Zheng Hengli comforted her. She was panicked at first, but she figured it out later. This life is much better than the previous one. In her previous life, she and her mother had nothing on them and could follow the army into the safe zone. There is no reason why they can't do it in this life! When she entered the safe area, she would hug Fang Shiyu's thigh as soon as possible, and everything would be fine.
"Mom, there's someone knocking on the door." Yu Heng heard the knock on the door first.
"I'm going to see who it is." Mother Zheng wiped her tears, turned on the flashlight and walked towards the door. She first asked through the door: "Who is it?"
"I am Sister-in-law Zheng. I am Xiao Li from 302 on the third floor. My husband is missing. I am very scared to live alone. Can I come to your house to live with you?"
Zheng's mother was very hesitant, so Yu Heng said, "Mom, I don't think it's good. Our house is in a mess, and didn't my eldest sister tell me that mutants can disguise themselves and it's hard to recognize them."
"you're right--"
"Yes! And didn't Dad tell me not to open the door for others before he left?" Zheng Hengli added. Yu Heng looked at Zheng's mother's face and felt bad. Sure enough, Zheng's mother's face turned dark red and she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care! Your Aunt Li is not a mutant. She is pregnant. I have spoken to her before."
"Mom!" Yu Heng quickly stopped her, but Zheng's mother was so angry that she wanted to confront her husband, but she couldn't persuade her.
Finally, Aunt Li, who was pregnant, moved in with her suitcase and slept in the same room as Mother Zheng. The two women hugged each other and cried, one crying about her missing husband, and the other crying and scolding her husband for leaving home. They found psychological comfort together. The two of them became much closer. Zheng Hengli rolled her eyes fiercely and complained to Yu Heng: "Mom, this is What's wrong? It doesn't look like her at all! How can we let outsiders into the house at this time..."
Yu Heng sighed, you didn't say that one more thing, Zheng's mother and Zheng's father are now sulking! Who is willing to listen to Father Zheng’s advice to stay? What she is thinking now is this: You don’t listen to me anymore, why should I listen to you? Although Zheng's mother did this too impulsively and irrationally, he still had to take care of her, after all, she was the original mother. He dragged Zheng's mother into the two sisters' room to sleep together on the grounds that he was "scared because of his father's absence". He was thinner, so Zheng's mother slept with him in the same bed.
In the darkness, Zheng Hengli was already snoring, but Zheng's mother was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and even sighing. Yu Heng knew that she regretted it. After returning to her senses, she would definitely be able to realize the many disadvantages of letting outsiders live in her house. But she was also a kind person and couldn't bear to see Li Shuning's belly.
I just hope that there is nothing wrong with Aunt Li, and just wait a few days for the army to come and go to the safe zone together. The Zheng family can still afford to provide food for a few days.
In the middle of the night, Yu Heng woke up from his sleep. The puppet substitute doll he left in the living room had expired and had disappeared. He took out his mobile phone to check. The puppet doll can last for three hours. He went to bed early when the power outage occurred at home. It was only 11:11 pm now.
He got up carefully and planned to make another one. When he walked to the back of the bedroom door, he heard an extremely subtle click. It was the sound of the rotating door lock turning, which would be heard even if one was very careful.
"Click."
So he stopped and heard light footsteps coming out of the master bedroom next door, and then in the corridor, slowly coming to his room. He stood behind the door in silence, waiting for two results. One is that the footsteps continue to move forward and go to the bathroom at the end, and the other is——
The footsteps stopped outside the door, and then the handle began to turn. A woman walked in, and he smelled the sour smell of hair that had not been washed for several days. Yu Heng hid behind the door, in the shadow of the door, watching Li Shuning walk in like a cat. He couldn't imagine that a woman who was seven months pregnant could move so lightly.
Li Shuning walked to the bed. She walked to the left, which was Zheng Hengli's bed. The room was dark, and even the moonlight couldn't penetrate. Yu Heng was used to the darkness, and her eyesight was also improved. Only then could she see clearly that Li Shuning groped and touched the bed, and then reached out to grab Zheng Hengli. Her nails had a slight reflection, which should be sharp and smooth claws. The moment she stretched out her hand, her body suddenly became larger, especially the belly, which swelled up like blowing.
This is a mutant.
Confirming that this was not a happy thing, Yu Heng raised his gun and aimed at Li Shuning's head and neck.
"Ah!!" Zheng Hengli was awakened by the pain. She opened her eyes and saw a huge figure in front of her. At that moment, dreams and reality intertwined, and she thought she saw a ghost! She screamed in fear. Then there were two muffled sounds, as if something fell to the ground. Zheng Hengli was so scared that she cried and shouted, "Mom! Mom! Mom!"
Yu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. His arms were so tense that they were sore, and his eyes were dry. Getting up in the middle of sleep and shooting someone was a very bad experience. He turned on the flashlight and placed it on the cabinet to illuminate the entire bedroom. Zheng's mother and Zheng Hengli woke up completely, and he had to explain the cause and effect.
In the end, the three people ran to the master bedroom to sleep. In fact, except for Yu Heng, they couldn't sleep. "It's all my fault." Zheng's mother regretted it very much. Not only did she put danger into the house, but more importantly, her daughter killed someone again.
Killing people, what a terrible thing, but how old is her little daughter? She can already shoot many times without changing her expression. Just like now, she tossed and turned, but her little daughter had fallen asleep. Zheng Hengli was too frightened. She always closed her eyes and opened them again, fearing that she would open her eyes again and see a big black shadow in front of her. This is definitely a super nightmare.
When they woke up the next day, all three of them except Yu Heng had dark circles under their eyes, and Zheng Hengli had a headache. "There's no electricity, so we can't turn on the air conditioner. It's so hot." It's so hot and we can't sleep, isn't it uncomfortable?
After a night, Li Shuning's body had become a little smelly, and her huge belly looked very creepy. Zheng's mother was afraid that her two daughters would have a shadow of pregnancy in the future, so she didn't let them get close to her. She collected the body herself, wrapped it with a sheet, and then carefully opened the door and moved the body to the opposite door.
From the first day of the apocalypse, the two families opposite were empty. Mutants appeared in both families. After eating their own family members, they went out to smash his house and the door next door. Later, they were beaten to death by their youngest daughter, and the house was empty.
Just as they put the body away and went home, a mutant came out of the corridor. This mutant still looked like an ordinary human, but his mouth was bloody and his chin was red. Zheng's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she pulled Yu Heng home quickly. When they came in, Zheng Hengli left and closed the door, locking it layer by layer.
"I was scared to death! He--"
The door was suddenly slammed, and Zheng Hengli jumped up in fright. A sloppy male voice came from outside the door: "Don't be so shy, open the door and play together."
Zheng's mother was angry and scared. She took her daughters to nail the wooden board again and retreated back to the room, pretending not to hear the teasing outside. The knocking on the door stopped after nearly five minutes, and the mutant seemed to have left.
"Don't open the door anymore, no matter who comes." Zheng's mother twisted her fingers: "It's too dangerous to have only three of us women at home. Those mutants are also picking on the weak, otherwise it would be impossible for Li Shuning to come home just after your father left. It's my fault. How can a pregnant woman be so brave to go out alone? I almost hurt you." She gritted her teeth and said, "Mom will never make such a mistake again!"
Bang bang bang!
The door was knocked again! No one answered the door, the knocking stopped, and Zheng's mother relaxed her tense nerves. The next moment, she heard a more violent knocking sound. Zheng Hengli trembled with her lips and looked terrified: "It's the sound of a hammer hitting the iron door! Someone is knocking on our security door!"
One, two, three times, the security door made a dying wail, each sound was piercing.
"Mom, sister, take the knife, let's go and see." Yu Heng stood up and walked out, starting to remove the wooden board. Zheng's mother was shocked: "What are you doing?" "Mom, if the security door is broken, the wooden door inside can't stop it, let alone this layer of wooden board. Take this down, I'll see how many people are outside, and then I can make plans."
"Okay!" Zheng's mother had to admit that this was the right thing to do. If she hid in the bedroom and did nothing, when the door was broken, the mother and the three of them would all die.
The wooden board was quickly removed, and Yu Heng looked outside the door through the peephole. It was the man he met in the morning. He still looked like a human, but he was knocking on the security door with a hammer in his hand. He even had a cigarette in his mouth, looking idle and bored, and banging on the door carelessly. Behind the door, Zheng's mother eagerly pulled his hand and whispered, "How many are there, huh?"
The mood inside and outside the door was completely different.
Yu Heng also whispered, "There is only one at the moment. Mom, you come and open the door to attract his attention."
"Okay!" Zheng's mother undoubtedly remembered her daughter's gun skills. She was the only one in the family who had fired a gun.
