Chapter 64 Zombie Attack
Lu Yuan came down from the third floor. Everyone else had gone back to their rooms to rest. He sat alone in the second-floor living room, lost in thought. Suddenly, he laughed. Who would have thought that after all this time, only the five of them would be left, and in this very villa...
When Gu Nanfeng came upstairs after finishing tidying up, he saw that Lu Yuan's room door was open, but no one was inside. He guessed that Lu Yuan must be worried and had gone upstairs to check again.
Worried that Lu Yuan had drunk too much, he went downstairs and brought up a glass of orange juice. Over the past two months, they had drunk together several times, and he had noticed that Lu Yuan's alcohol tolerance was incredibly low. Today, because Qin Yuan and Lin Yun had left, he had drunk a few more glasses.
Gu Nanfeng originally intended to take it to the third floor for Lu Yuan, but when he returned, he saw Lu Yuan sitting on the sofa in the second-floor living room, lost in thought.
"Don't worry, Qin Yuan and Lin Yun are both experienced soldiers, they'll be fine." Gu Nanfeng stepped forward and handed the orange juice to Lu Yuan, reassuring him.
“Yes, I know.” Lu Yuan took a sip of orange juice, which calmed the churning feeling in his stomach. “I was just wondering if this was all a dream.”
Lu Yuan looked up at the ceiling. Perhaps he was still on that night when he met that person and got drunk. Maybe the next second he would open his eyes and still have to worry about his father's medical bills.
"Don't think too much. Go and rest if you're tired. I'll keep watch tonight." Gu Nanfeng pushed Lu Yuan back to his room and told him to rest assured. Actually, they had already agreed not to keep watch tonight, but Gu Nanfeng still quietly went up to the third floor and leaned into the single sofa next to the binoculars.
Pei Sihao wanted to open the door to get a drink to sober up, but just as he was about to open the door, he heard Gu Nanfeng comforting Lu Yuan. Realizing that it was inconvenient for him to go out at the moment, he quietly leaned against the door until there was no sound outside the room.
Judging from the footsteps, he knew Gu Nanfeng had gone up to the third floor. He gripped the doorknob tightly, then finally let go. He fell back onto his bed. In the sweltering summer heat, even with the air conditioning on, he still wrapped himself in the blankets.
DAY87
Qin Yuan and Lin Yun had been gone for three days when another group of people arrived at the villa area. They had two cars and six people. Gu Nanfeng saw them around noon. They drove very fast and stopped in front of one of the villas in the detached villa area. Lu Yuan and the others had observed that there should have been no one at that villa before.
These six people did indeed enter the villa through a window. Their car had license plates from a neighboring city, and the vehicle was severely damaged. They had taken quite a few things when they entered the villa; several large bags were bulging. Gu Nanfeng deduced that they had fled from the neighboring city and were probably trying to reach a safe base, but the vehicle was too badly damaged, so they decided to seek refuge here temporarily.
Thinking about it this way, most people in this villa area are probably here for this reason: the villa area is close to the South Ring Road, and there is a 70% chance that people from neighboring cities or other districts and counties will take this road when they drive to the safe base.
That very night, they finally understood why zombies kept coming to their villa, which was the furthest from the other side.
Their night shifts are from 12 to 3 a.m. and from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m., since they are young people and haven't gone to sleep before midnight. As for 6 a.m., that is Gu Nanfeng's fixed exercise time, so they moved the treadmill to the third-floor balcony so that Gu Nanfeng can exercise and observe the situation while getting up in the morning.
Tonight is Lu Yuan's first shift. After everyone went to sleep, he leaned against the small sofa on the third floor. The night shift area has been decorated very comfortably by them. Lu Yuan even found a small refrigerator in his space to store drinks, snacks and beverages.
Gu Nanfeng's villa is located at the very back of the villa area, with a mountain in front and behind it. There is no need to worry about people or zombies, so they installed an electric fence behind the villa to prevent wild animals from the mountain from running out.
Lu Yuan opened a bag of potato chips and ate them while fine-tuning his telescope to observe his surroundings. He was mainly looking at the group that had arrived at noon that day. They probably didn't have much food left. The virus outbreak had been going on for almost three months, and most families probably had no food left. After all, since humans entered the robot age, they hadn't considered stockpiling food during a virus outbreak. After all, who doesn't like to eat fresh food?
After observing for the first half of the night, there was no movement outside; only two or three zombies that had been wandering around the villa a few days ago remained. Lu Yuan and Zhong Qiang successfully handed over their shift.
However, Zhong Qiang, who was on duty in the second half of the night, was not so lucky. Around four or five in the morning, he was so hot that he got up to get an ice pop when he saw two flashing red and blue lights appearing over the townhouse.
He adjusted his binoculars and looked at the two points of light. It was a drone, flying out from the direction of the townhouses on the outer edge. A bloody piece of meat was hanging from the bottom of the drone, still dripping blood, and looked very fresh.
Zhong Qiang was terrified by the piece of meat. Although there were occasionally crazy animals wandering around the villa area, he inexplicably felt that the piece of meat had just been cut from a person. He hurriedly woke up the other four people with the walkie-talkie.
While waiting for the others to arrive, Zhong Qiang kept fiddling with his binoculars, following the drone. Given the precision of the astronomical telescope, the object hanging on it was definitely a piece of fresh meat.
Lu Yuan was woken up as soon as he fell asleep and was still a little groggy. Pei Sihao and Yang Xiao also looked like they hadn't woken up yet, but they were a bit better than Lu Yuan. Gu Nanfeng was definitely the most reliable among them. He was always full of energy whenever he appeared. Although he was still wearing his pajamas, he looked more awake than the others.
Gu Nanfeng approached the telescope and saw the drone carrying chunks of meat fly out of the villa area and head towards the university town dormitory area. They all knew that the university town dormitory area was the place with the most zombies in the entire university town.
Sure enough, the drone returned shortly afterward, bringing a large horde of zombies, at least forty or fifty. Led by the drone, they pounced on the villa that the group had chosen at noon.
It would only take a few minutes for forty or fifty zombies to besiege an undefended villa. Before long, they could faintly hear cries for help.
Their villa is so far away, yet their shouts could still be heard. I wonder what the people hiding in the nearby villas are feeling right now.
After regaining consciousness, Lu Yuan also went over to take a look at the telescope. Pei Sihao had already adjusted the telescope to be aimed at the villa. The French windows on the first floor of the villa had been smashed by zombies, and a strong wind that had blown up at some point was making the curtains flutter. Lu Yuan saw a figure standing in the living room carrying a bow and arrows...
"It's the female zombie from the girls' dormitory who shot down the drone!" After saying this, Lu Yuan took two steps back, his face full of terror. "It saw me!"
Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao both saw that female zombie. After the first viral rain, the government flew a drone to the university town to broadcast a message, and this female zombie shot down a drone with her first arrow from the rooftop.
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gu Nanfeng went closer to observe for a while. There seemed to be no living person left in the villa; the screams and cries for help had stopped, and the house was filled with uncoordinated zombie figures moving around. Gu Nanfeng adjusted his binoculars and searched for quite a while, but still couldn't find the female zombie Lu Yuan had mentioned.
