Doom Bakery

Chapter 1 Survive or lay flat?

"Xiao Qi, hurry up! Close the window!" Jia Yang urged me from behind. He took the remote control in my hand and immediately closed the window that I had only opened a few inches.

A few seconds later, that inhuman thing bit the shoulder of the man next door, and fell on the glass window, its thin body was bursting with veins, and its eyes were wide open.He knew we were in the house, but because of the one-way glass, he didn't know where we were standing, and his hand tried to beat the glass, but there was no strength.

He can only roar silently, and we can only remain indifferent.

Jia Yang looked at me, patted my shoulder, turned around and continued to play with the vegetables grown in the glass house.

He's used to it, and I'm used to it. This is the countless times in the past two months that we've seen that ghost bite people to death with our own eyes. Those bitten include customers who have been to the store before, and some familiar villagers. , There are family-like neighbors... All of them "miraculously" resurrected after being bitten, turned into exactly the same ghosts, walked in this village, and became "ghosts" here.

Among the countless sci-fi doomsday films that Jia Yang and I have watched, this is called a zombie.

It started three months ago.

"Patta pata... pata pata..." The rain outside the window kept falling, accompanied by the whistling wind, I lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, Jia Yang was snoring beside me.

I turned over and took the mobile phone by the bedside. At [-]:[-] in the morning, I opened the hot search on Weibo, and scrolled down at will, only to see entertainment news one after another, mixed with newly diagnosed entries. The newly confirmed entries often appear in hot searches, and I am no longer surprised.

Scrolling down, a hot search of "M country laboratory researcher escaped" attracted me. I clicked on the entry, and the first entry had the same topic and a video.I'm used to liking first and then continuing to watch videos, and it's the same today.

The video is very long. At the beginning of the video, it introduces a biological laboratory in M ​​country. There are a lot of animal experiments and test tubes in the picture, and some English reports, which translate a recent research content-X virus clinical Experiment five.The results of the previous experiments showed that after the injection of the virus, the bodies of the experimental mice and rabbits gradually became stiff and their movements began to slow down. A layer of mist, and died soon after violent convulsions...

After the simple experimental research results, a man's voice appeared in the video, he spoke English, and the subtitles slowly displayed "Currently the experiment has entered the human experiment, during the process of transporting the experimenters, several volunteers escaped from the laboratory , The virus is spreading..." Before I finished listening, the video suddenly showed that it couldn't be played, clicked on it and refreshed, the entry had disappeared.

I entered the M country laboratory, researcher, X virus...all related searches again in the search box, but I could only see "Sorry, no relevant results were found". Strangely, I couldn't find anything.

"It's probably a rumor, so it was deleted so soon." I thought so, and a new message popped up in the Weibo chat box.

"The zombie virus is about to break out, hurry up and prepare something, if you can persuade one is one."

I replied how do you know, but the other party never replied.

I'm confused, what does this mean?Refresh again, but the hot search terms on Weibo no longer show content related to diagnosis and virus.I opened Baidu, and searched on it if the end came, what would I need to prepare, hundreds of boxes of instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, all instant food.Thinking about what I should prepare if the end really came, I slowly fell asleep with the sound of the pattering rain.

When I woke up in a daze the next day, Jia Yang turned over and hugged me.

"Xiaoqi, are you awake?"

"Yeah." I was still a little unconscious, and I habitually touched my phone, and I received a message from that strange account last night again, a WeChat account, but his Weibo account was blocked.

I woke up instantly, and told Jia Yang about the strange things that happened last night.Jia Yang couldn't believe it. Various natural disasters or chemical leaks happened every day all over the world, but there was no news of any new virus.

"Jia Yang? Are there really zombies?" I asked worriedly.

"If it's really the end of the world, then I'll lie down and turn into a zombie!" Jia Yang laughed loudly, pretending to be a zombie.

I was amused, "Then I will turn into a zombie first, and you will be the first to bite!"

……

Recently, our bakery was not open for renovation, and it was rainy again.Two bored people added the WeChat account with their trumpet, but received the same message content as in the video last night.The person said that the zombie virus spreads extremely fast, and country M cannot control it. Only by building a safe house and staying in the safe house can the infection be avoided.

The virus incident described by this person was too real. Jia Yang and I looked at each other, and the relaxed atmosphere became serious and heavy.

"Let's get up and have breakfast first." I broke the long-lasting calm and started this new day with Jia Yang. Jia Yang was silent all day long, as if he was thinking about something.

I don’t talk too much. I have always liked watching novels and movies with doomsday themes, but I never thought it would happen in real life. I am worried about "breaking the boat" to save myself, and worrying that all our accumulated assets will be wiped out. ... If there are zombies, can we really survive?
In the evening, after we had dinner, the two of us nestled on the sofa and swiped our phones. I expressed my concerns to Jia Yang, and after ten minutes of silence, Jia Yang expressed his thoughts.

"We don't know the future development and changes. If we really become zombies, then we will just die without dignity. If we survive, maybe there will be a turnaround. Maybe this zombie virus will be controlled. The best case is This is a rumor, then we will build a safe house bakery based on this rumor, and then we will post some advertisements, and maybe the money will be earned back slowly." In the second half of the sentence, Jia Yang seemed to be comforting me .

After that, Jia Yang and I decided to change the renovation plan of the bakery to renovation + safe house construction.If it develops according to what this person said, then the virus will spread to our country in half a month. If things don’t happen as this person said, then we will open a safe house bakery.

Between struggling to survive and lying flat, we choose to survive.So, we started our safe house program.

　If there was a gossip that the end of the world was about to break out, how would you choose?
