The Sabbath Chapter 85: The situation of the third store
"This is the delivery card for the two of you, please keep it safe." Holding one side of the card in each hand, the store manager handed over the delivery card with a smile.
I have to say that the people in Sisiro City are really good-looking, and the store manager is also a handsome uncle!
Ronggui stared blankly at the man in front of him, but Xiaomei didn't think about it so much, he took the delivery card with one hand.
"However, it doesn't matter if you don't keep it properly. The corresponding information has already been entered in the passports of the two of you. With this record, the two of you can live here for eight months." Withdrawing his hands and turning his back Behind him, the store manager continued to smile.
"Our city of Sisiro is the city of pharmacists with the longest history. We advocate the use of drugs to restore body functions instead of blindly using mechanical substitutes. Although the two of you are using metal bodies now, since you came to buy a powerful nutrient solution , it must be that the original body is still recovering, right?" The other party used a more euphemistic statement: "If you can use your own body, it is best to use your own body."
"The human body is the most exquisite creation in the world! It is a miracle that no machine can match!" Stretching out his hands, the store manager said with emotion.
Xiaomei:
Seeing Xiaomei's expressionless face from beginning to end, the store manager took a step back: "The city of Sisiro is very big, with four distinct seasons here, and almost all the varieties of herbs that exist in the tower are planted here, the two of you can Think of this place as a botanical garden and visit around. In the center of the city is the largest library in Sisiro and the fifth-ranked library in the tower. Now the library has opened reading qualifications to everyone in the city. Guests who like to read can go there for a stroll. .”
"By the way, you may also see undead people like that just now in the library. Many of them like the library. Oh! Don't be afraid, those guests are very quiet, except for being a little stubborn, His temper is also very good, he will not attack people, and will not bring you other changes, please don't worry."
After saying this, the store manager smiled slightly, bowed, and turned to entertain other guests.
Ronggui: =-=
Xiaomei:
Staring at the store manager's back, Xiaomei withdrew her gaze, put away the delivery card, and said, "Let's go to the third store."
Ronggui followed without objection.
And when they left the shop, they were greeted by raindrops falling from the sky.
Opening up his hand to catch a few drops of rain, Rong Gui asked in surprise, "Is it raining?"
Is there still rain in the dungeon?
This is his subtext.
Understanding his subtext, Xiaomei replied: "The whole city is full of herbs, and artificial watering alone is definitely not enough. So"
So, is this a big watering can set up in the sky?
A picture of a huge watering can watering water emerged in his mind, and Ronggui felt relieved, and then he took off his cloak, covered his and Xiaomei's heads with the cloak, and the two little robots were having **** Stepping on the splash of water, he ran from the door of the shop to Rhubarb.
Driving on the road, there are pattering raindrops everywhere, pedestrians who were still walking slowly on the side of the road have taken refuge in the shops on the side of the road. Looking at it now, it made Ronggui feel very kind.
It's obviously a very common scene, but it's the first time I've seen it in this world. Leaning quietly in front of the glass window, Ronggui's flustered heart that was a little flustered by the sudden sight of the zombie was strangely calmed down.
Next, when he saw a few zombies in the rain, the emotion that rose in his heart was no longer fear, but curiosity.
The mud on their bodies was gradually washed off by the rain, and the dirt on their clothes became less obvious under the cover of the water stains, moistening their pale and livid faces
Although their pace is very slow, the rain is not too heavy, isn't it?
They look like Guiren walking leisurely in the rain, washing away the traces left by running outside all the way, and slowly, wanting to go home with all their heart
Looking at the zombies outside by the window, the expression on Ronggui's face changed, he couldn't think of how many thoughts had just turned in his head, Xiaomei glanced at him, locked the window, After confirming that Ronggui couldn't easily roll down the window, Xiaomei continued to drive Dahuang forward.
Passing through several winding alleys, there was only one zombie left beside them.
It was a bearded zombie with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. His cheeks were thin and sunken, giving him an unsmiling look.
Like a rigid civil servant, Ronggui thought.
There should be a beautiful and dexterous wife in his family. He doesn't know if she is beautiful or not, but the dexterity should be real. Ronggui noticed that the clothes on that person were obviously hand-sewn, with fine stitches and very It is strong, and a few pieces of cloth have been added to the places that are easy to wear on the clothes. It looks like an ornament, beautiful and practical.
Ronggui saw that person walking forward slowly, and walked among a group of zombies
Wait! Zombies? !
It was only then that Ronggui noticed that they had unknowingly driven to the end of the alley, and there was a large group of zombies gathered there for some reason! Twelve zombies had already gathered there, standing there, densely packed, it looked very strange!
The strange mosaic effect caused by the rain just now was erased at once, and Ronggui posted Xiaomei again with a "click".
"Xiaomei! How did we get here? Why are there so many zombies here?!" Ronggui looked around, only to find that the surrounding shops were almost empty, even a light box signboard was empty. No, the house is also dilapidated, and you can tell that no one lives there!
"This is the third shop." Xiaomei said calmly as Ronggui grabbed her back and forth.
Rong Guijiu: 囧!
The fantasies of "wearing the clothes hand-sewn by his wife" and "washing away the traces of exhaustion and returning home" are all gone, and only the fear of zombies besieging the city is left in Ronggui's heart again.
The painting style of the third store is different from the other two at first glance!
Although the store is equally large, even bigger, and the open-air lounge next to it is more luxurious, however——
There are more zombie brothers sitting in the more luxurious open-air lounge, okay? ! !
This is not like in the lounge before, where there is only one zombie brother who accidentally sneaked in, but a table full of zombies, okay? ?
Ronggui's mouth opened wide!
"What's wrong with this place? Why are there so many zombies?" There were no pedestrians around, Rhubarb just stopped on the side of the road so abruptly, Ronggui suddenly felt that he and Xiaomei were so eye-catching!
I always feel that sooner or later I will be noticed by the zombie brother, what should I do? !
When Ronggui was trembling like a sieve, Xiaomei let her body tremble at the same frequency as Ronggui, but her gaze stayed on the spectacled zombie earlier.
He saw that zombie slowly squeezed away the same kind outside, walked straight to the door, slowly took out a key from his trousers pocket, and then slowly pointed the key at the keyhole.
With a click, the door opened.
Just like coming home, he opened the door, walked in, and closed the door again.
The sound of closing the door was a bit loud, so that Ronggui, who had buried his head between Xiaomei's legs, also heard it.
Then, the lights in the house turned on one by one, and it was conceivable that the zombie knew how to turn on the lights.
"Let's go in and have a look." When Ronggui was in a daze, not knowing what to do, Xiaomei said again.
After speaking, Xiaomei opened the door and got out of the car! ?
Don't dare to stay on Dahuang's body at all, Ronggui gritted his teeth, quickly unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, nervously following behind Xiaomei, Ronggui watched himself and the group of zombies getting closer , getting closer
He can already see the pores on the opponent's face!
When the tension reached a certain level, Ronggui's mind went blank, but instead he calmed down.
Unknowingly, he began to imitate the walking style of the zombie he had seen before, and he seemed to be born with a talent for this.
Thus, when Xiaomei suddenly lost the weight of Ronggui's pull on her arm, and couldn't help turning her head to look around, what she saw was Ronggui who looked like a zombie.
Exactly the same expression, posture, and speed as the surrounding zombies, if she didn't know that Ronggui's current body is a robot, she wouldn't be able to turn into a zombie no matter what, Xiaomei really thought that Ronggui had turned into a zombie.
Xiaomei:
Ronggui: Let go of your face.jpg
Zombie Gui's imitation was so successful that the surrounding zombies all regarded him as a companion, so all the surrounding zombies focused their attention on Xiaomei.
Their heads all slowly moved to Xiaomei's position, and their stiff eyes also turned around, and they even gradually approached Xiaomei's direction
With a blank face, Xiaomei continued to walk towards the door.
A large group of zombies stalked behind him, and Xiaomei arrived at the door.
This is a typical shop door. Under normal circumstances, it can be opened with a slight push, but now the door is closed. Xiaomei pushed it: it can't be pushed.
The zombies behind are getting closer and closer to me. Ronggui, who pretends to be a zombie, is the closest to me. You can still feel the weight of tightening layers at the rear
Unscrew a finger to reveal the metal wire underneath, and Xiaomei slowly inserts the wire into the keyhole.
I don't know what he did inside. Not long after, there was a crisp "click" sound from the keyhole again, and the door opened.
Grabbing Ronggui behind her, Xiaomei walked in the door.
When he entered the door, he immediately closed the door, and there was a muffled "boom" "boom" and "boom" on the door panel. It was the sound of the zombies suddenly losing their support and their bodies hitting the door panel.
Xiaomei carefully locked the door again, looking back at Ronggui who still had a stiff face, he frowned slightly: "It's fine, there's no need to continue acting."
He said it twice, and Ronggui suddenly softened as if some kind of curse had been lifted suddenly.
The petite robot immediately grabbed Xiaomei's arm again, softly, and he whispered: "Scared, scared me to death"
Obviously you were the scarier one just now—Xiaomei said in her heart without saying a word.
Turning around, the two little robots looked inside the house.
Same as the two shops I visited before, the decoration style of this shop is also simple and exquisite. The interior of the house is a wooden floor made of good material. However, unlike the other two shops, the wooden floor here has obviously not been laid for a long time Waxed and looking a little worn.
There is a thick carpet at the door, with gorgeous and delicate patterns, the only incongruity is the water stains on it.
Thinking of the "person" who just entered, Ronggui's heart trembled.
But then he noticed his and Xiaomei's feet: dripping with water.
Thus, even though he felt a little nervous, he still took Xiaomei and wiped the feet of the two of them in the corner of the carpet.
Then just keep going.
They walked in along the direction of the lights on the ceiling.
Although it looks brightly lit from the outside, when you actually walk inside, you will find that many light bulbs are broken, and every few steps you walk, there is a light bulb above your head that is dark.
This situation is obviously wrong for stores that are open.
If it is a store under normal business conditions, the floor should be clean, the plants in the store should be green and vibrant, and the light bulbs should be inspected every day, and there will never be any broken light bulbs.
However, it doesn't seem right to say that the store is not open. Ronggui may not have noticed it while pretending to be a zombie, but Xiaomei can see it clearly: the light box outside that says the products sold by the store are on.
Although it was completely blocked by zombies, it was indeed lit, and there was a recruitment message written on it.
Walking ahead, Xiaomei seemed expressionless, but in fact, his vigilance had already reached the highest level.
There is a hall on the left, and he turned into it.
Same as the other two shops, this is the reception hall, with counters and round tables inside. Under normal circumstances, this should be a hall that can receive a hundred guests at the same time, but now
The hall was quiet, only the middle chandelier was on on the ceiling, and all the other lights were turned off.
The screens of the computers at the counter were all black, and there were no customers or waiters.
Glancing around, Xiaomei immediately left the door and continued on her way.
He walked up the stairs.
The second floor of the previous two stores was the work area, and only a few big customers could enter, and there were banners saying "no guests allowed".
And the second floor here is open.
With a trembling Ronggui hanging on her body, Xiaomei slowly climbed upstairs.
Just now, just before they went in, the lights on the second floor were also turned on. If the guess is correct, the zombie should have gone to the second floor—Xiaomei thought.
Then he was standing on the carpet on the second floor.
There is a closed room at the entrance of the stairs, Xiaomei stretches out her hand, gently turns the doorknob, and the door opens——
Pink walls, beige carpets, lace sheets everywhere, and puppet lying on the bed, there is no doubt that this is a little girl's room.
There is a photo on the white desk. Xiaomei zooms in on the camera instantly, and the focus of the imager is positioned on the photo. The family of three in the photo are smiling, and they look extremely happy.
The man in the photo is the zombie who just used the key to enter the door, and the little girl in the photo is——
"Isn't this the little girl we met when we entered the city?"
Ronggui cried out in a low voice.
