Chapter 003 Restaurant
The atmosphere between us became a little awkward.
"Is there anything to eat here? I'm hungry!" Meng Yue looked at me with a pitiful look.
I pointed to the cafeteria area, which was only half of the hot dishes served, but it was enough for the two of us to eat for a few days.
She rushed over and picked up a plate and filled it with a lot of food, then found a seat opposite me and sat down and started eating.
I have never seen such an ugly girl with a look of food, as if she had been abused and hungry for several months.
"I said, can you eat better? Why do girls ignore their image so much?" I still looked at her with contempt.
Mengyue's mouth was filled with food, and she chewed and said hesitantly: "Hey, is there any...drinks? Go and get a bottle for my sister."
I frowned and glared at her: "I don't call him Hey, my name is Fang Zixing!"
"Okay, handsome guy Fang Zixing, can you help me drink it?" She showed that pitiful look again.
I scolded the girl from the bottom of my heart, and she actually called me, but my body reluctantly got up and walked towards the counter, poured her a glass of juice.
She just ate voraciously...
After feasting, she breathed a long sigh of relief and touched her stomach and said with satisfaction: "It's really great. Even if I die now, I will have no regrets."
I looked in surprise at my plate with half of the food left, but her plate was eaten up.
I said reluctantly: "You won't die. The food reserves here are enough for us to eat for a long time. Moreover, these mutated people will not follow the elevator. According to my observation and analysis, they will only look for surviving living organisms to vent. Instinctively, they may still remember things."
Then I realized that this girl named Mengyue was listening to me seriously. Suddenly she got up and walked to me and patted me on the shoulder twice: "Yes, you're quite analyzing well. I was downstairs just now, and after I suddenly smelled a scent, my colleagues were crazy, and they were all tugging and killing each other. I was so scared that I hurriedly hid in the bathroom. When I came out, they all died. The corpses on the ground were terrible. Thinking about it, they were all terrible."
After saying this, her expression became dim and then gradually turned to sob: "I don't know how my parents and the others are doing, and my younger brother."
I don’t know where the bathroom is. I haven’t noticed it from the moment I went to the 30th floor, but the bathroom must have been designed in a certain corner. I observed the surroundings. There was a entrance hall full of flowers behind the pillars on the north side. I guess it might be there.
I pointed her in the direction, and she walked slowly over, and then I lowered my head and continued to taste the delicious food on the plate.
Then I heard the most shrill scream in my life, and it came from the direction of the toilet. Needless to say, the sound came from Mengyue. I quickly threw down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand and rushed to the bathroom like a flying one.
Meng Yue sat in the bathroom door with a limp body, her whole body twitching, her eyes wide open could no longer say anything, tears poured out like a fountain, and she was breathing heavily, pointing to the bathroom.
"Inside...Inside..."
At this moment, I also smelled a strong smell of blood coming out of the women's restroom.
What exactly is there in the women's bathroom? It scared her like this, and a sense of uneasiness arose in my heart.
Looking at Meng Yue's depressed and disgusting expression on her face, my heartbeat gradually accelerated. I tried to stabilize my emotions and lifted the curtain hanging in front of the bathroom door.
Although I was already mentally prepared, I was still scared by the scene in the bathroom and took a few steps back. I felt a turbulent heart in my stomach. I couldn't wait to vomit the delicious food I had just eaten.
There are at least twenty corpses in the women's bathroom! There are men and women, and the corpses are covered with scars and are stacked together like stacks of arhats. These corpses are dragged in and placed one by one. The ground and walls are covered with blood, and blood flows gently into the drainage ditch.
Finally, I couldn't help it, and staggered out of the women's bathroom, leaned over and vomited wildly under a pot of money tree at the door.
Mengyue's makeup on her face was already crying. She had crawled back to the hall at this moment, squatting on a chair, holding her legs and crying with her head down. I almost vomited until my stomach was empty, and walked towards the counter and picked up a bottle of beer and drank it all.
Then I found a place to lie down in the hall, regardless of whether the ground was clean or not. I lay on my back and looked at the ceiling. At this moment, my mind was blank. No one and I spoke without saying anything, and I were silent for a long time.
After calming each other for a few hours, she finally came to me and squatted down to look at me. She spoke and broke the strange silence: "What should we do next?"
Actually, I have been thinking about what to do since I just lie down. Although it is late autumn now, so many corpses will rot in a few days. It seems that they cannot stay here for a long time. Moreover, it is still a mystery who piled up these corpses together.
"Or what if we throw the body downstairs, I really can't bear such a good place, with water, food and high-rise buildings, so I should never find a better place than this."
"How to throw it away? Fang Zixing, what's the idea? Look at the window, you can only open a very small ventilation vent."
"No, don't throw it through the window."
She seemed a little anxious: "Then you should tell me quickly."
"I have two methods. First, pile all the bodies in the elevator and let the elevator go down one floor. Anyway, there is no one in this building who can use the elevator. We will use another elevator in the future. Second, this is the 3o floor, which means that there is still a road to the rooftop, but we didn't see it. We can find this road and throw the bodies down from the rooftop."
Mengyue pointed up again: "Can you still go up here?"
"Yeah, it should be OK."
"Then why are you still lying down? You can't get up and look for the entrance."
Mengyue pulled me up from the ground with one hand. I looked at her in surprise. This little girl actually had such great strength.
She turned and left and looked up at the ceiling, searching for it. I hurriedly followed and wandered around the hall, but the ending disappointed us. There was no exit to the rooftop on the ceiling.
"Are you mistaken? There is no exit to the rooftop here. It seems that you can only use the first method you mentioned. Lose an elevator to take the body down. However, it is impossible for the elevator to transport so many bodies at one time."
"Impossible! Let me think about it." I firmly rejected her opinion, and I felt that there must be something missing.
My heart kept thinking and thinking, by the way! There is still a place we have never seen before, in the warehouse, the hidden warehouse.
"Come with me!"
When I opened the door of the warehouse, I obviously heard Meng Yueqi's scream behind me, because there were too many food storage facilities in the warehouse, and anyone would be surprised. It would be no problem to save some food for two of us for a year.
I turned on the warehouse lights and there was indeed a door on the ceiling. I picked up the herringbone ladder in the warehouse, set it up and climbed up. I opened the iron sheet on the door and saw the blue sky outside.
I climbed out with my hands and pulled Mengyue up again. The rooftop was empty, but I smelled the inexplicable fragrance that was getting stronger and stronger.
Because our building is a commercial building and is taller than a family residential building, our 3o floor is close to the 4o floor of the residential building.
Standing on the edge of the rooftop, you can overlook half of the city. I saw thick smoke everywhere in the city, and rolling smoke and firelights were swept everywhere. But in this situation, I am afraid that no one will put out the fire, so I let the fire spread.
"Let's go, I'm going to throw the body down from here. I think it's quite a bit hard. Why not choose an elevator?" Meng Yue said and turned around and prepared to go back.
"Wait! Look at that."
I grabbed Mengyue's arm and looked in the direction I pointed, and it turned out that a drone hovered in the sky.
"There are still uninfected people who are searching with drones. We want to try to contact him." I kept waving towards the drone.
Mengyue pulled my hand down and attached it to my ear and said, "What if there are more than one of them, our food will be divided up quickly, or if they are bad people and kill us all."
"We won't stay that long. According to the nature of infected mutants killing each other, these mutants will soon die. Don't be too pessimistic. I just read the news, maybe the army will send people to save us tomorrow."
Just as we were arguing, the drone had already flown over us, we stopped talking and stared at the drone, but it flew away after a few circles.
The sky gradually became darker. I took out my phone and looked at the time. It was 7 hours since the incident broke out. My phone was about to run out of power, and only 12% was left. I was driven by curiosity. I opened the news again. This time, the update of the news messages dropped sharply, and only a few were displayed on the page. I also roughly learned that this inexplicable fragrance had exploded into a national event.
Mengyue came over and looked at me with a mysterious face and said, "What are you looking at?"
"No... nothing. I'll read the news and I'll just say it. The news says that someone in the army will come out to search for uninfected ones."
I lied to her.
She looked at me thinking nodding, and I couldn't help but feel sweaty about my lies.
"Let's go"
Just as we were about to go down, the drone flew back here again, but there was a note hanging on it with a few short words on it.
“1329678xxxx, is there any food?”
I took out my cell phone and dialed according to this number. A calm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello."
I was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Hello, I saw your note. Are you an uninfected person? How many of you are there?"
"I have only one person, I am on the 4th floor of the office building in Area A."
“I’m on the 3o floor of Area B, we’re a restaurant with a lot of food, can you get through?”
"I'll try it! It's getting dark now, I'll go there early tomorrow morning."
"No, come here now. My phone is about to run out of power. Let's not hang up and keep talking. I'll go to the first floor to answer you."
