Chapter 3 The Man Next Door
Three zombies with their heads smashed had fallen on the ground outside the door. There was a man in front of the door opposite, holding a fire ax in his hand and swinging it with some difficulty.
From time to time, there would be a kick. The banging on the door that Ye Jingya heard was actually because they were forced to bang on the door.
There are two zombies on this floor at this time.
The elevator was stuck by a corpse, and the fire escape door was also closed by a man, but Ye Jingya felt that there seemed to be zombies behind the door, because she could hear the roars of the zombies forming a chorus. This was not like the momentum that two zombies could shout. .
Okay, now she is completely blocked on this floor. I wonder if the man at the opposite door can escape. If he suddenly mutates, there will be a total of three adult male zombies blocked outside her door. This is simply... God wants to kill her.
Just as she was thinking about it, the man knocked down another zombie. The zombie fell down and revealed the man's face. Ye Jingya didn't expect that the world was so small. She only knew one person in this world, and it turned out to be that noble man.
Ye Jingya pressed her eyes firmly against the cat's eyes. Although the man didn't look thin, he certainly wasn't strong. She didn't expect that he could fight so well.
When Ye Jingya stared at the person's 2-meter-long legs, the man opposite kicked the zombie to the door of Ye Jingya's house again and hit it hard. Ye Jingya was frightened and took a step back, fearing that the door would be opened from the outside. Knocked down and hit her.
By the time Ye Jingya looked out of the peephole again, the man had already killed the zombie.
His steps were a little staggering. It was obvious that dealing with five zombies was his limit, but he hadn't gone back yet. Instead, he was reinforcing the door of the fire escape and blocking the elevator with corpses, making it impossible to get up or down.
Finally, he straightened up and turned around to stare directly at the cat's eye on Ye Jingya's door. That glance seemed to penetrate the door and directly meet Ye Jingya's eyes.
The indifference in the man's eyes made the hairs on Ye Jingya's body stand on end. She didn't expect this man to be so sensitive. He could detect it just by looking at him through the peephole.
The corridor became quiet, but the wailing and wailing in the community continued.
In such an environment, Ye Jingya was like a frightened cat, with no hair on her body falling.
Ghosts cried and wolves howled all afternoon, social order collapsed, and human society began to enter an era of chaos.
At night, people reacted and stopped shouting. The zombies who lost their target began to wander aimlessly.
But one afternoon's panic was enough to strengthen the zombie group.
Ye Jingya feels that the world has become a lot cleaner. Normally, the sound of vehicles on the road will float into your ears no matter how blocked it is. Now the whole world seems to have been put on a pause button. There is no traffic or people. Only aimless zombies occasionally roar to tell everyone that the world is still running.
The system was quiet all afternoon. I didn't know what to do. Then I spoke up: [Host, I have invaded the network of this world. Take a look. Let's hurry up and start selling goods! 】
Ye Jingya was reminded by the system and her stomach began to growl. She said OK, OK, but her hand movements were to take out a box of instant noodles and a piece of ham from the mall and prepare to start soaking them. noodle.
Fortunately, the water hasn't stopped yet. Ye Jingya started to store water after soaking the noodles. She still doesn't know when the water in the mall will be unlocked. She can live for seven days without food, but can't survive for three days without water.
The aroma of instant noodles made Ye Jingya's mouth water. She had been hungry all day. At this time, she couldn't wait for the water to cool down and started to devour it.
After eating half a bowl, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Jingya was so frightened that she almost knocked over the instant noodles.
At this time, whether it's a person or a corpse knocking on the door, it's no good.
She planned to pretend to be dead, but obviously people outside were not going to let her go!A clear male voice sounded outside: "Open the door, I know you are inside!"
Ye Jingya was silent.
"Open the door, I mean no harm!"
Ye Jingya didn't move.
"If you don't open the door, don't blame me for being rude. Once I break down your door, you won't be able to guard against zombies!"
Ye Jingya ran to the door like a rabbit and asked angrily: "What do you want to do??"
The male voice slowed down: "I want to ask you to borrow some food. I came here temporarily and there is nothing to eat at home!"
Ye Jingya tightened her grip on the door handle, feeling war between heaven and man in her heart.
Open it, maybe it will be opened today, or maybe the man will kill her directly as soon as the door opens without respecting martial ethics.
Don't open it, she is open to do business, and she doesn't dare to accept the business that comes to her door. It will be more difficult for her to continue in the next step.
After much deliberation, I still blame the system, which is stupid and lacks any protection mechanism. Just let her move forward. If she doesn't do it right, she will be treated as a big fat sheep and slaughtered! Ye Jingya thought for a long time and finally asked: "Do you have anything valuable at home?"
The man sneered lowly: "It's easy to ask for money. How much do you want? In this situation, the materials are indeed valuable. I will give you any amount!"
Ye Jingya was shocked and quickly told the system: "Tong'er, Tong'er, it's opened. How much can I exchange for one point??"
Because the prices of things in the mall are points, Ye Jingya really doesn't know the exchange ratio between money and points.
The system said: [About 1000 yuan in this world can be exchanged for 1 point. 】
There was no need for the guests outside to exclaim, Ye Jingya exclaimed: "Is one point so expensive?"
System: [It’s not that points are expensive, but that the currency system of this world is about to collapse. The reason why you can still exchange money for points now is because some people still believe in money. Until everyone no longer believes in currency, currency will Become waste paper. 】
The system remembered something again: [Host, 1000 yuan is exchanged for 1 point. Physical paper currency is required. Virtual digital currency has no value and cannot be exchanged. 】
Ye Jingya only communicated with the system for a moment. After understanding, she quickly said to the man outside through the door panel: "I only want cash."
The man rubbed his back teeth. He suspected that this woman was playing tricks on him!
Who carries so much cash these days? It's good. It's because he's not that crazy yet, so he's stalling for time.
Ye Jingya listened behind the door for a while without making any sound. She looked up at the cat's eye and saw that the man's face was gloomy, as if he was brewing a storm. Her heart skipped a beat. To be honest, this world was highly similar to her original world. Before she traveled through time, All she had on her body was 100 yuan stuck behind her cellphone case. Presumably this man didn't have much cash.
However, she sharply noticed that the man was wearing a valuable-looking watch on his hand, so she quickly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't need cash. Don't you have a watch? A watch is fine too!"
