Zhao Hao was fine. Lin Sijia checked him again and again and found that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Hao. In fact, he was healthier than many people.
However, just because Zhao Hao was like this did not mean that the group of people waiting at the gate were the same.
They listened to Ye Xingchen’s orders and waited at the gate.
There was food. Although it wasn’t much, Ye Xingchen had asked Zhao Hao’s buddy, Yuan Bo, to send it to them. 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝑏𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂
The security booth at the entrance of the neighborhood was temporarily built after the daily patrol duty was set. It could block the wind, but not much. A few of them were huddled in a small room, shivering.
“When is Brother Ye coming?”
“That’s right. We’ve been waiting for a long time. Why hasn’t he come yet?”
“They said that Brother Zhao was seriously injured and needed treatment first, but aren’t we injured too?”
“Sigh, let’s wait a little longer. Compared to Brother Zhao, our injuries are really nothing.”
They were dissatisfied, but they didn’t dare to show it too much. After all, they all knew that they couldn’t be compared to Zhao Hao. Even if Ye Xingchen helped them, it was all because of Zhao Hao’s sake. Even now, they still don’t know why Ye Xingchen was so close to Zhao Hao.
A day and a night passed, and they huddled together to rest.
The gate was locked tightly. No one came to guard the gate that day.
Suddenly, someone in the group snorted.
“Water, I want to drink water. I’m so thirsty!”
His injuries were not light. His face was scratched, but it had already scabbed over.
After pushing through the crowd, he suddenly rushed out of the temporary security booth as if he had gone crazy. Then, he rushed to the gate and opened it with his hand.
“F*ck! What are you doing!”
With a bang, the gate that they had closed with great difficulty was suddenly opened by this person. However, the bunch of infected people standing at the gate had disappeared.
The person who suddenly ran out like a madman was called Zhao Jin. He ran unsteadily, shouting that he was thirsty as he plunged into the snow outside the gate.
“Ah, thirsty, thirsty, water, I want to drink water!”
The sudden change made the people in the temporary security room look at each other in dismay. They saw that Zhao Jin had plunged into the snow and never looked up again.
“He… He has gone crazy.”
“Why does he seem to be a little off? If he’s thirsty, why doesn’t he melt some snow on the ground… Is there a need to bury himself in the snow?”
“Hiss, even I feel cold looking at him. Isn’t he cold in such deep snow?”
“Stop talking. What’s wrong with him? Why does he seem to have stopped moving after he plunged into the snow?”
“Yeah, it seems like he really didn’t move after he went in.”
“It’s over, it’s over. Could he have suffocated himself to death?!”
“This… Why don’t we go and take a look…”
After all, they had stayed together for a night. Zhao Jin’s sudden change made them a little worried.
“Hey, hey, are you okay, Zhao Jin?”
Many people walked over and poked Zhao Jin with the weapons in their hands, but they realized that Zhao Jin was still motionless.
“It can’t be. He couldn’t have suffocated or frozen to death, right? Even if the snow has stopped, the snow is still cold!”
Not long after, before Zhao Jin could react, another person suddenly shouted the same words and rushed out from behind them.
“I’m so thirsty, so thirsty. 1 want water, I want water!”
Just like Zhao Jin, this person also rushed out and plunged into the snow.
Suddenly, several people rushed out of the crowd and plunged into the snow.
“What’s going on… Are they crazy?”
“I don’t know why all of them suddenly seem to have gone crazy. Have they become stupid from the cold or something…”
However, before they could react, the few people piled up in the snow suddenly began to struggle again.
“Hey, hey, look, they’re alive! They’re not dead!”
“No, what’s wrong with them? Why does it look strange?”
The few people who were stuck in the snow like carrots were struggling to pull themselves out of the snow. Then, their postures and actions began to become strange.
It was a bit like those strange intruders from the other day.
“Something’s wrong. Everyone, retreat!”
There were smart people in this group. They could tell at a glance that their actions were very similar to the visitors from that day.
“Run! Run! Run back to the neighborhood! Close the gate!”
The few people buried in the snow staggered to their feet and then pounced on them.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the iron gate closed in front of them. A few of them who were running behind were unable to enter in time. They knocked on the iron gate of the community while shouting for help. However, very quickly, those who were behind were pounced on and torn apart.
“F*ck, what the hell? Why did they suddenly go crazy?”
Wu Qibo was the last one to run into the neighborhood’s entrance. He was also the last one to push the gate closed. He leaned against the gate and panted heavily.
The expressions of the people inside the gate were different. The screams and cries for help outside were louder and louder. Twenty minutes ago, they were still in the security room to stay warm, but in just twenty minutes, more than half of them had been lost.
“How terrifying. Are they possessed?”
“I don’t know. They were fine just now, but suddenly, a few of them went crazy.”
“That shouldn’t be. Did you guys notice? They looked like the people who invaded the other day. Their behavior and whatnot. Moreover, we asked them just now, but they didn’t answer. Then, they started to go crazy.”
“Why is it like an infectious disease? I thought we ate the same thing. Why are we fine but they aren’t? It can’t really be an infectious disease, right? We’re fine but they are infected.”
“Do you think it’s possible that they were scratched or bitten, and their injuries are relatively serious? And our wounds are lighter, so they are infected, but we are not?”
After hearing this, the eight survivors suddenly fell silent.
“Do you still remember?”
“Remember what?”
Wu Qibo was silent for a long while before he suddenly spoke again. “Do you still remember what Ye Xingchen told us?”
“Why are the ten of us here? Isn’t it because Ye Xingchen asked the people who were scratched and bitten to step out and gather at the entrance of the community?”
“You mean… No way! Could it be that he already knew?”
