Chapter 48: Chapter 48

It looks like a beauty salon with a large area. There is a circle of sofas in the lobby. A square stone stove was set up with bricks in the place where it should be a coffee table. The stove was on fire. To the source of the flare. The space behind seems to be wider, but the black holes are not very clear.
Shen Shi'an looked at the teenager "There is only you here"
The boy admitted very simply, "Yeah, rest assured, it's safe here, zombies can't break in." He looks handsome and faint, but looks at the three people very hot. "Are you thirsty or hungry? Do you want to drink water or eat first? "
There is too little information available at the moment, and Shen Shi'an is somewhat unsure of what situation he is facing. Even if the teenager looks gentle and harmless, his alertness has not been relaxed. But as he came, he could not do anything to someone who offered to help, unless he noticed obvious abnormalities. I looked at the child who was soaking wet around him and asked the teenager, "Excuse me, do you have clean clothes or towels? I am worried about the child's cold, and I want to change his wet clothes."
"Oh," the boy looked very guilty. "Sorry, I was negligent. I forgot you were uncomfortable in the rain. Both towels and clothes are dry. By the way, do you want to take a hot bath?"
"hot shower"
Chen Nan heard a vocabulary that he had almost forgotten, because he was so surprised that he almost asked it back in a loud volume.
The boy nodded and smiled a little shyly. "You should also see it. This is a beauty salon. Five solar energy are installed on the roof. The most important thing is hot water. There are showers upstairs and downstairs. You can also take a medicated bath. By the way, do you prefer roses or camellia? "
In the night with heavy rain, it's cold, tired and wet from the rain. Take off your dirty clothes and take a steamy hot bath. What kind of experience is it?
Heaven-like feeling.
As if the whole person had come back to life.
Shen Shi'an stood under the shower head and rushed for half an hour, rubbing it carefully from head to toe, three times, until the skin became hot with hot water. Then he turned off the water, wiped off, put on a bathrobe, and walked from the shower room. Come out inside.
The children were swimming in the circular bathtub in the cubicle, and they sprinkled petals in the hot water while swimming. They were so happy that they even invited Shen Shi'an to take a bath together. Bubble "
Shen Shi'an kindly refused, and then washed his clothes and the children's clothes briefly, and planned to have a clean and dry change of clothes in the drying room by the fire, but it was not convenient to take them apart from the underwear.
Chen Nan took this bath even more ecstatically. When she was finally willing to walk out of the bathroom, her skin was almost as red as the hot prawns. Even when she walked, "The hot water bath is so comfortable", reminded Shen Shi'an. He remembered that his left foot was
inconvenient
, and frowned quickly to show his pain.
There are no children's bathrobes in the beauty salon, so Shen Shi'an can only wrap the whole child with a large towel and sit back with Chen Nan on the sofa in the lobby. The trio's backpacks, crystal nuclei, and weapons were all placed close to the sofa.
The boy named Liu Fangzhou brought a tray, not only hot tea in the tray, but also a lot of food bread, biscuits, crispy noodles, ham sausage, eight treasures, canned meat can be piled into a small hill, put it with hot tea The three approached. "You must be hungry. Eat fast. If not enough, I still have it here. Don't be kind to me."
Even Chen Nan felt that the teenager was over-enthusiastic. Not to mention the precious materials of the last-day people, even before the last days, few people would invite strangers to their homes and treat them with unsuspectingly large fish and meat.
The firewood beeps, and no one moved for a while.
Liu Fangzhou seemed to guess their worries, and twisted his fingers with a slight redness on his face. "Ah, am I scared you?" He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and then opened a ham sausage Take a bite. "I'm not malicious, but I'm so happy to finally see living people, but you are the first and only survivors I met."
Shen Shi'an looked at Shen Xun, who shrugged his nose, then nodded to him to eat. Then I picked up a bag of bread and a cup of eight-treasure porridge from the tray, and gestured to Nan Nan with his eyes, and said to the young man, "Thank you. You just said that we were the first survivors you met. Is it in the county except you, No other survivors? "
"Even if there is not much left, either choose to leave here, or hide in the house like me and dare not go out." Liu Fangzhou cooperated very well, knowing everything, "but I don't think I can stay in the house for long, because I did n’t eat it. I ’m lucky. The supermarket next door is a small supermarket. I closed the iron gate of the supermarket and cut a hole in the wall. I can drill in at any time to get food, so you do n’t have to be kind to me. It's okay to eat. "As he said, he fixed his fiery eyes on the three.
Although the youth's hospitality was impeccable, this look made Shen Shian inexplicably uncomfortable, as if it were regarded as something extremely rare to watch. It ’s just that it ’s currently under the influence of others. It ’s not good to force too much. Think about it from another angle. The enthusiasm of the other party is also a good thing. I just took this opportunity to inquire about the information I want to know. More than even the resident population here, do you know why? "
"It's not because of the food festival." The teenager sighed and poured a cup of tea for each of them. The tone suddenly saddened. "You don't know from other places. The food festival is one of our Lin'an County. The grand event has been around since I was born. It has been held for 18 sessions so far. It starts on April 1st every year and lasts for a full week. Because of its large scale, it has become famous. Residents in several cities and towns or other places Tourists will come here. No one expected that this year's food festival was only halfway. When the crowd was the most lively, the zombie virus broke out. "
On the day of the food festival, there were people in the square, and suddenly someone mutated into a zombie, and the confusion caused was unexpected. "In the beginning, it was only a small part that was infected with a virus or was bitten by a zombie. What is more terrible is the stampede accident caused by it." The victim in the stampede lost his mobility and was bitten by a zombie and turned into a zombie Cause more panic and stampede, thus forming a vicious circle. "Where are tens of thousands of people? It's gone without saying." The teenager's eyelids were lowered, so tender that it was distressing. "My mother went out that morning and never came back."
Chen Nan felt the pain of losing his loved ones and asked, "What about your father?"
The tenderness and sorrow of the young man disappeared instantly, and a pair of glazed eyes glowed with cold light. "Run away with Xiaosan. I hope he was bitten alive by the zombies."
Chen Nan didn't know how to answer the words, and turned around to find that Shen Shi'an seemed to be lost in thought, and shouted "Shen Brother"
Shen Shi'an looked at the teenager. "According to you, after the virus broke out, tens of thousands of zombies were gathered in the square hosting the food festival in just one day."
Liu Fangzhou said, "It doesn't take a day. At that time, the virus infection speed is fast. It will mutate in a few seconds after being scratched or bitten by zombies. This is how several of our customers die. People in the square are all dead. I want to run out, but no one runs out. "
Chen Nan stayed with Shen Shian for so long, and occasionally a flash of light has been able to keep up with his thinking and consider the problem. "Brother Shen, do you think that the proportion of mutated zombies in the square is so high, it is related to the number of zombies gathered."
Shen Shian nodded. In addition, the zombie virus that broke out in the county sounds no different from other places. There is no reason that zombies have evolved so much faster than other places, and even zombies have appeared. For a long time, he thought that mutated zombies mostly appeared in the places where zombies gathered, and it was a matter of probability that scattered zombies rarely encountered were scattered. The number of mutated zombies was small, and it was definitely easier to find in places with more zombies. But if for some reason, the zombie group gathered together is more likely to spawn mutant zombies.
In this way, the abnormal situation of the county seat can have a perfect explanation. The food festival attracts a large number of people. These people are quickly transformed into zombies and gathered together after the virus outbreak. There is some unknown effect in the huge zombies, making The evolution of zombies has accelerated greatly, and the proportion of mutated zombies is much higher than elsewhere. After all, looking at the entire history of human evolution, social gregariousness is also one of the necessary conditions for evolution.
If this assumption is correct, it is both good news and bad news for Shen Shi'an and his team. The good news is that the distress in this county is a special case. In the future, as long as you avoid the zombies, the danger will be greatly reduced. The bad news is that they can't avoid the city forever. The closer to the capital the higher the population density, the greater the number of zombies. It is conceivable that the difficulty will rise geometrically if you want to cross the past.
After listening to this speculation, Liu Fangzhou immediately agreed and relieved. "There weren't so many mutant zombies in other places, and there were no zombie abilities. I thought they were the same as here. A zombie king can control several Thousands of zombies, terrible. "
Shen Shi'an blinked and looked at Chen Nan. This time, Chen Nan didn't understand what he meant, until Shen Shi'an asked the teenager "You have stayed here since the outbreak of the virus" and the boy nodded "Yeah, there are too many zombies in the county, and my force value is too weak , And the food is enough, you dare not go out to take risks. Or you are terrible, even the county square came here. "This is a big mistake. If Liu Fangzhou has never been out since the outbreak of the virus, how did he know the mutant zombie, and How did you know there were zombies in the square?
Startled in my heart, looking at the young man's eyes instantly alert to why he had to lie and open the door to let them in. What is the purpose? Is this a trap? But what is it for? Brother Shen's off-road vehicle didn't come and they had nothing on him. unless
Chen Nan glanced at the zombie nucleus full of three large canvas bags by the sofa. The canvas bag is tightly tied, and you can't see anything if you look at it from the outside, but if they have been stared at when they picked up the nuclei on the square, will there be other people in this room hiding what they are going to do? Grab the crystal nucleus directly? Crystal nucleus is only useful to the psionicist, does the juvenile also have psionic power?
The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, and the more I panicked, and then I looked at Shen Shi'an again, and then I slowly relaxed and shouted. It was all right, Brother Shen was there. Brother Shen is okay with one enemy, even if there are many people hiding.
No matter how turbulent the heart is, at least on the surface it is still kind. Several people were drinking tea and chatting around the campfire. Shen Shi'an baked and dried his clothes. The child couldn't bear the heat. He took off the towel and exposed the pink pants with the puppy and bones printed on it.
An electronic clock hung on the wall, still moving normally. At about half past ten, Liu Fangzhou stood up from the sofa. "It's not early. Do you want to rest? There are beds in the beauty room and bedrooms upstairs. The one on the left-hand side is the one I live in, and the rest you live in at will Anything works. "I found a bunch of scented candles from the cabinet again." The firewood goes out at night. If you want to illuminate, use this. The brightness is almost the same as ordinary candles. It has various flavors. I recommend orange flavor, but It smells good. Then you can do it yourself. I'll go upstairs to take a shower first. "
When Liu Fangzhou's footsteps drifted away on the stairs, Chen Nan immediately came over and lowered his voice, "Brother Shen, what shall we do?"
Shen Shian asked Shen Xun "Did you smell something?"
The dog nodded and pointed to the dark back room "inside"
Shen Shi'an had a sword on his back, and Chen Nan had planned to help get the Tang sword. However, he didn't expect that it would be as heavy as before, and almost smashed into his own foot. Shen Xunchi laughed. After getting dressed, he held the knife handle and easily carried it on his shoulder. He accidentally knocked down a vase, and Shen Shian took the knife back and carried it on the other side. "
The three of them held an scented candle, walked in the direction of the dog's fine fingers, twisted around, came to the end and hit a wall, and studied the wall for a long time, only to find a secret door. , Connected to the basement.
Shen Xun opened his eyes with excitement. There were situations that stimulated him.
Shen Shi'an held the child up. He held the candle, held the sword handle with his backhand, and stepped over the stairs with Chen Nan one after the other. The light from the candle is limited, but after turning the corner of the stairs, the scene in the basement is still clearly displayed in front of the three people.
There is a long table in the center, with zombies. The limbs of the zombies are fixed to the four corners of the long table, and there is almost no decay. The belly was broken, the ribs were broken, the muscle layer was rolled out, and the internal organs were on the plate near the long table. The body, the table, and the white cloth were all stained with red and black blood. Even though this looks like this, the zombies with their intact heads are not dead, they looked up desperately at the smell of a living person, and made a hoarse howl.
Chen Nan had never seen such a scene. When he turned pale, he turned to retching.
Shen Shi'an Meifeng wrinkled and quickly loosened. She was about to walk over and take a closer look. There was a sudden "click" on the stairs, and someone locked the door from the inside.
Liu Fangzhou walked down the stairs and stopped at halfway, half of his face shone under the candlelight, and half of his face was hidden in the darkness.
"Ah," he whispered, and couldn't tell whether it was more fear or excitement. "I've discovered it."
