Reborn in the last days, I want to lay down and win

Chapter 19 Dead Man
"what"

Zhang Qian suddenly screamed, her eyes were fixed on her feet, and her hands were tightly holding onto her father.

Everyone followed Zhang Qian's gaze and saw a lifeless face frozen under the ice. The face was distorted, as if the deceased had experienced great pain before dying.The expression on his face was dull and terrified, and it seemed that there was a trace of unwillingness and panic left at the moment of death.

Although the ice was cloudy and blurry, his outline was still clearly visible.Eyes closed, mouth slightly open, the skin on the face has become pale and stiff, without the warmth and vitality of life, it looks extremely scary.

Zhang Qian's father quickly hugged his daughter and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, dad is here." Although his voice was calm, there was inevitably a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

Zhang Qian hugged her father tightly, her heart beating rapidly, and her little face was pale and trembling.Her father's comfort calmed her slightly, but the fear in her heart still lingered.

Except for Zhang Qian, everyone was also terrified. This was not the first time they saw a dead person. The last time they even faced Gu Yanzhi's killing process, but they were still frightened by such a large visual impact.

Carefully bypassing the corpse, the group continued on their way to their destination in silence.Without the good mood of talking and laughing at the beginning, everyone's heart became heavy.

The only thing that was not affected was Gu Yanzhi. Even killing someone would have no effect on her, let alone corpses. She had seen a lot in the last days.

After walking a short distance, everyone saw several corpses one after another. The methods of death were different, but without exception, they were all horrific.

"Something's not right. This body doesn't look like it's been dead for a long time," Sister Li said suddenly.

After a pause, Sister Li continued:

"I've seen corpses that have been soaked in water for a long time before. The better ones were swollen and swollen by the blisters, and the worse ones were rotten."

Sister Li paused again, as if she was organizing her words: "The skin of these corpses looks tight and there are no wrinkles that would be produced after soaking in water for a long time. It seems that they were frozen shortly after death. It shouldn’t be long before the weather turns cold at night.”

"Indeed, these corpses don't look like they have been dead for a long time." After hearing Sister Li's explanation, everyone agreed.

Gu Yanzhi also showed a thoughtful expression, thought for a while and said:
"Further ahead is the place where we were robbed last time. The direction of water flow these days is from that direction to this side. I suspect that the corpse may flow down from that side."

"Don't go to Songshan, let's go to another place," Gu Yanzhi said decisively.

Gu Yanzhi's proposal was unanimously approved.

The existence of the dead body fully shows that there is a high possibility of encountering road robbers further forward.

The weather is cold, but under the pressure of life, some people can do anything.

They were not well prepared to go out today, and most of them brought out two axes for the convenience of cutting trees.Among the 16 people in the group, only Gu Yanzhi's family of three, Uncle Zhang, and Sister Li can fight. Our combat effectiveness is too weak. If Qian Xingmao confronts them rashly, the consequences will be disastrous.

After walking back a little and finding a secluded and safe location, everyone stopped to discuss and decided to change their destination to a nearby office building.

This idea was also reminded by Gu Yanzhi that office buildings are generally built higher, and after removing the floors covered by ice, there are still a few floors that can be searched.

After the decision was made, everyone moved forward at full speed and walked towards the first target that was circled. On the way, they encountered a frozen corpse, and the initial fear was gone.

When I arrived at the nearest office building, I couldn't tell how many floors there were. Half of the passable floor-to-ceiling windows closest to the ground were frozen, and half were exposed.

Gu Yanzhi picked up the axe, and with two bangs, cracks appeared on the glass.Another kick, and the glass shattered all over the floor, making a tinkling sound when it hit the ice.

Carefully cleaning away the glass scum around the glass frame, Gu Yanzhi jumped in first, and everyone who followed him also entered smoothly.

At least half of the height of the first floor of the office building is frozen, but the standing height is only about 1 to 6 meters. Among the group, only Yin Meng and Liu Sisi, who are the shortest, can barely walk upright. You can only walk with your head down or stooped.Although there was no value in searching for this floor, everyone bent over and turned around before finding the stairs and going up to the second floor.

The floor height of office buildings is generally a little higher than that of the community, and the terrain here is also higher than that of Jinxiu Leiting Community. Their community has been flooded to the 10th floor, and this office building is only halfway to the 7th floor.

On the 8th floor of the office building, everyone straightened up and looked at the office building carefully.The overall area is relatively small, and the companies on this floor don’t look too big. Looking at the logo at the door, basically a room of about 30 square meters is a small company.

Everyone spread out and looked around, but obviously they didn't find anything of value.

The only two things that were barely useful were Zhuang Nanyang who found a few bags of unbrewed coffee powder, and Liu Sisi and Gao Zhi who found a few bottles of mineral water that had been frozen into ice.

Take these two things with you, and we continue to go upstairs.

The situation on the 9th floor looked similar to that on the 8th floor. It was a small room or a small company, so everyone lost interest in searching and decided to go directly to the top floor and search from top to bottom.

The top floor of the office building is the property office. As soon as you go out from the stairs, you can see various property management regulations and announcements hanging on the wall, but everyone didn't pay attention to it, and directly searched for supplies in families.

"Look for the leader's office first. Generally, only the leader's office has solid wood furniture. The formaldehyde content of the plywood tables outside exceeds the standard and cannot be burned." Before leaving, Uncle Zhuang emphasized to everyone that they must find solid wood.He runs a decoration company, so he is very familiar with these routines.

Gu Yanzhi chose a room with a lock, bang bang bang a few times the ax went down, and the door was smashed to pieces.She was lucky, this one happened to be the storage room of the property, and there were all kinds of cleaning supplies in it: brooms, mops, detergents, disinfectants, garbage bags, hand sanitizer, paper towels, etc.
There are also some old furniture, electrical appliances, a large stack of discarded newspapers and cardboards that are almost at the top.

Gu Yanzhi also found two folded carts and a maintenance tool box inside. Gu Yanzhi opened it and took a look. The tools in the box were quite complete, including hammers, electric drills, screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers. There is even a headlight for lighting, which is still equipped with batteries, which is more practical.
