Zombie City

Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin hooked the rotten corpse with two iron hooks and dragged it from the smelly water to the stone platforms on both sides of the sewer.

Seen from the ground, the sewers are nothing more than shafts going downwards, and the space inside should also be narrow and cramped.

In fact, this is also the case. In the sewers and wells in some residential areas, the space inside can only be crawled by people.

However, these sewers criss-cross the underground network, and most of them will converge into the main sewers of the city.

As the main sewer of the city, not only can people walk upright underneath it, but its width can even allow a car to pass through.

After Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin got the job assigned by their superiors, they quickly entered the sewer from the well and went into the sewer with ease.

Those who can get a job in the last days will go to work with all their heart, and no one will try to be lazy.

Because it is not just a few dozens of people who are staring at this position behind you, it is very likely that there are as many as hundreds of people. If you don't want to do it, there will always be more suitable people to replace you.

Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin are about the same age, one is 39 years old and the other is 37 years old. In the last days, one is a decoration worker and the other is a truck driver, but these are of no use at all after the last days.

It was both of them lucky to get this dirty and tiring job.

The two searched for the blockage point underground, and after more than 40 minutes of searching, they found the corner where the tributary of the sewer merged into the main road, and the corpse was stuck here.

The corpse can't just be left in the sewer. They have to carry the corpse out in a body bag and take it to a centralized cremation point for cremation.

The Kyoto Safety Zone is the first safety zone, and these systems must be as complete as possible in order to minimize the risk.

Use a hook to hook the corpse into a simple body bag. There is a large amount of sewage and filth pouring into the congested sewer over there. It seems that the drain can be filled up and overflow the platforms on both sides.

But Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin have long been accustomed to this. They are afraid of dirt and smell, but they can't do this job.

"Hey! Old Li! Take a break, I must be going somewhere else when I go out now, I have something good!"

It was Zhao Xuebin who spoke. With a mysterious smile, he fumbled out a dry cigarette rolled in matt pattern from his arms. This was a half-pack of cigarettes he picked up in the sewer a few days ago.

After Zhao Xuebin picked them up, he crushed the cigarettes and dried them in the sun. Although the smell always smelled like sewage, he could still taste some tobacco.

Cigarettes are an absolute luxury now, and they are all in the hands of the rich and powerful. Ordinary survivors, even if they are lucky enough to get one or a half, have to find a way to exchange it for food. No one is foolish enough to go hungry and eat by himself.

Seeing the homemade dry tobacco roll that Zhao Xuebin took out, Li Guangcai's eyes widened in shock:

"I'll go! Old Zhao, how did you get this thing! You can!

However, wouldn't it be better to sell it, enough for you and your two daughter-in-laws to eat for several more days! "

Zhao Xuebin ignored it, took a breath after lighting it up, and handed it to Li Guangcai, who was staring aside.

Li Guangcai smiled and couldn't wait to take it and took a sip, his intoxicated expression became a little strange...

"Uh... is it because we are in the sewer? Why does it feel like there is a foul smell..."

Zhao Xuebin calmly took the homemade dry tobacco roll from Li Guangcai's hand, took a sip, and said:

"It's caught here! Otherwise, why don't you think I'm selling it!

Not to mention whether I will be beaten to death after selling this thing, even if I can sell it to anyone who is willing to buy it, I won't be able to give it a good price! "

Li Guangcai nodded, and extended his hand to Zhao Xuebin.

As if thinking of something suddenly, Zhao Xuebin withdrew his hand, looked at Li Guangcai with a smile and asked:

"Hey? I said Lao Li, I can't see it!

You are still a sullen old man, and you actually found a young girl in his twenties or thirties.

Tsk tsk tsk... Tell me, what's it like! "

Li Guangcai looked embarrassed, and replied with a straight face:

"Old Zhao, we are all very old, you don't have to be so proud!

Besides, things are not what you think!

Xiaoyue's boyfriend left with a 50-year-old rich woman in a rich area, and left Xiaoyue alone in our slum area. When I found her that day, he was starving to death, and almost went to Do that kind of business.

The two of us happened to be working overtime that day, so I gave her a few extra steamed buns, and I gave them to her. Later, when I met her, she said that she would live with me in order to repay me. I think he is a poor girl, and I don’t have any now. The family agreed to her! "

Zhao Xuebin twitched his lips. He was clear about Lao Li's personality. After all, the two had been working together for a while.

At this moment, Li Guangcai raised his hand suddenly, turned his face sideways and listened with ears.

"Hush! Listen! What a sound!"

Zhao Xuebin quickly put away his smile, snuffed out the tobacco roll in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

If someone finds them lazy and loses their jobs, their days will be over.

After the two of them waited for a while holding their breath, they heard no other sounds except for a few light clicks.

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, if this is fired, you two will be too wronged!"

While Li Guangcai was speaking, he reached out and grabbed one end of the body bag, and walked towards the nearest well with Zhao Xuebin.

Because they have been working for a while, and these sewer cleaners all have their own divided work areas, so memorizing the sewer lines in their area is a knowledge point that they must memorize clearly even if they memorize them by rote.

As the two moved forward, apart from the footsteps and breathing of the two of them, the irregular rattling sound could still be heard in the sewer.

It's like a naughty child is using a metal stick to knock on the wall of the sewer.

Twenty meters ahead was an intersection, and the sound came from one of the other three directions. After excluding the possibility that it was on the opposite side, only the left and right directions remained.

After watching the two move forward a few more steps, Li Guangcai, who was walking in front, stopped, because he stopped and raised his hand almost simultaneously, which caused Zhao Xuebin, who was walking behind, to lose his footing. It almost fell into the sewer beside it.

Without waiting for Zhao Xuebin to speak and ask, Li Guangcai turned his head and put his hands on his lips to make a silent gesture, and turned off Zhao Xuebin's headlights and his own headlights.

The surroundings were plunged into pitch blackness where one could not see one's fingers. In such a situation, it was impossible to walk or identify directions, let alone work.

The sound of irregular metal rubbing against the wall of the sewer became more and more clear. At the same time, Li Guangcai also heard the strange footsteps of different shades, like a cripple walking in the dark while holding on to the wall of the sewer.

Both Li Guangcai and Zhao Xuebin had met survivors who rushed to the sewers to try their luck before. It was no surprise, but they had never encountered a fellow who ran down without any light source.

If you can't see your fingers, let alone looking for something to eat, whether you can find yourself is a problem.

Li Guangcai is not a native of Kyoto, he moved here with the previous safe zone. Before going to the local safe zone by himself, in order to survive and reach the safe zone alive, he also developed good survival skills and an intuition for danger .

Now that the intersection ahead was in the dark, it gave Li Guangcai a very bad feeling, and made his heartbeat speed up inexplicably.

The footsteps of varying severity were getting closer and closer, until I heard that low, clucking sound...

Li Guangcai's hair immediately exploded, which reminded him of some previous experiences.

Without needing to verify his guess, Li Guangcai grabbed Zhao Xuebin behind him with his backhand, and whispered two words in a hoarse and trembling voice:

"Go into the water!"

Immediately after Zhao Xuebin was not given time to react, Li Guangcai had already decisively dropped the body bag, jumped into the sewer beside him, got down on the ground regardless of the filth inside, took a deep breath and sneaked inside.

Zhao Xuebin didn't know why Lao Li did this, but he knew that it was impossible for Lao Li to lose his nerve suddenly, so the instinct of survival made him follow Lao Li and sneak into the stinking sewer...
