summer rot

If it wasn't Li Zhi, who would it be?

Zhou Xiangxing immediately remembered what Li Zhi said to "solve a person".But the problem is, if the person standing outside his door is Li Zhi's target, where is Li Zhi now?

"Open the door, let me in." "Li Zhi" outside the door seemed a little impatient, knocking on the door gradually turned into knocking on the door, and the voice became louder and more urgent.

Zhou Xiangxing calmed down, he looked at the cat's eyes again, it was still pitch black: "You go, I won't open the door for you."

"Li Zhi" asked: "Why?"

Zhou Xiangxing said, "Because we broke up a long time ago."

There was a dead silence outside the door, as if there was nothing to say, or simply did not understand what breaking up was, and why you couldn't enter the door after breaking up.

"I told you to leave a long time ago, you should leave with your things." Zhou Xiangxing pretended to be even more impatient, and slapped the door hard: "Why are you back?"

When he knocked on the door, he was keenly aware that the feeling was not right, and the voice was dull, as if something was clinging to the opposite side.

But Zhou Xiangxing is too used to pretending to be calm, when encountering things that easily cause emotional fluctuations, his brain will always be surprisingly clear.Excluding these strange things, the "Li Zhi" outside seemed to be deceived, and did not answer for a long time.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiangxing saw the cat's eyes gradually brighten, the dark object moved away, and the object that had been blocking the door gradually moved away.

It turned out that what blocked the cat's eye was an eye.

Withdrawing from the state of being close to the door, "Li Zhi" gave him a deep look for the last time, as if he was really looking at him, and left.

It took Zhou Xiangxing a long time to take a deep breath and let it out quickly.He reconfirmed that his door was locked tightly. For the first time in history, he thanked himself so much for the anti-theft door he paid a lot of money for, until his head became dizzy——only then did he realize that he had subconsciously held his breath until now.

He thought of Li Zhi.

What's wrong with Li Zhi now?

He took a few steps forward, then backed away, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the blood on the ground that hadn't dried up at all. He couldn't help raising his hand, clenched into a fist, and beat the wall expressionlessly.

dong dong!

There were two loud crashes.

Zhou Xiangxing turned his head abruptly - the voice was not made by him.

Obviously, that fake Li Zhi didn't give up easily.At this moment, through the half-closed door, Zhou Xiangxing caught a glimpse of the room belonging to Li Zhi. The window was vaguely covered by a bunch of blood-red unknown objects.Its organs were so bruised that it was impossible to discern what part was knocking on the window.The sound is getting louder and louder, but it is very regular, one loud and one soft, and the interval is very close, just like the beating of a human heart.

It won't be long before Li Zhi's kind will break the glass and come in.Although I don't know what the purpose of the other party's visit is, it doesn't look like a problem that can be solved by sitting down and having a good talk.

He has to get out of here.

At this moment, Zhou Xiangxing saw the mobile phone on the table.The secret channel was anxious and confused, and forgot such a simple communication tool.

He quietly approached the phone, and after picking up the phone, he approached the security door step by step.

Boom, boom, boom...follow the gradually broken glass of the window in your heart, and grasp the rhythm.

The moment a certain glass knocked, he pulled open the anti-theft door, moved himself out as calmly as possible, and closed the door at the next rhythm.

Clearly, there have been no signs of such exceptional creatures on a large scale in the news recently.Although Zhou Xiangxing seldom surfs the Internet, he knows that if such a monster is exposed to the public eye and then spread and fermented through the Internet, no matter it becomes a rumor of "experts shaking their heads" or "humanity is about to perish", or It is impossible to refute the rumors after they are cute, and there will be no splashes in the end.

If you rule out your own mental health problems and vision problems, then it is very likely that this kind of creature dare not expose itself.

Confused between the stairs and the elevator for a few seconds, Zhou Xiangxing finally chose the fastest elevator.

While waiting, he kept calling Li Zhi's phone.The good news is that Li Zhi took the phone away, as long as he had told him, he could execute it beautifully at any time.

The bad news is, it doesn't work.

From the beginning when the phone was automatically hung up, to the last time when Zhou Xiangxing waited for more than ten seconds to hang up by himself, the time passed by, and the elevator came up from the fifth floor and sent Zhou Xiangxing to the first floor.On the way he met no one.The night was quiet, and it was raining outside. He didn't bring an umbrella, and after rushing out of the building, he only felt peaceful.

He covered his phone with his clothes and ran to the nearest restaurant.

He needs to place himself in the middle of the crowd, or anywhere that is part of the public domain.But at the same time, as far as he guesses, the creature can be deceived by taking the appearance of a human.

Thunder roared, and street lamps illuminated a small circle of rain.

Seeing a few figures with umbrellas in the distance, Zhou Xiangxing felt relieved and suspicious at the same time.This made him have to be careful to get closer to the same kind, and he was afraid that the other party was actually just a group of bait to deceive him.

The rain quickly drenched his whole body, and the strong wind swept away his body heat. It was a scorching summer day and it was terribly cold.At the same time, the air was stuffy. In the heavy rain, Zhou Xiangxing soon had difficulty opening his eyes and had difficulty breathing. He kept wiping the rainwater off his face and ran on the slippery and foot-sucking ground.

Fortunately, the restaurant is not closed.

A heavy rain trapped several supper diners inside.At this moment, they were drinking beer, eating barbecue, watching the rain outside, and saw Zhou Xiangxing in a mess.

"Hey!" An old man in a thin white vest shouted to this side.

The uncle patted on the door and opened a small crack: "Come in and hide!"

Zhou Xiangxing looked over and breathed a sigh of relief.He turned around and ran into the closer shop.

Stepping into the warm lamp from the dark night, the aroma of barbecue is tangy, and the glass door is closed behind, blocking the sound of pouring rain outside, leaving only the crackling flame of the barbecue and the loud noise after drinking.

"Good guy, I can't get wet!" said the old man just now.

Zhou Xiangxing put his hands on his knees and was panting heavily. Hearing this, he took the time to smile, wiped his face, and wiped the water from his slippers on the carpet. Rather than embarrassment, he felt that he had survived the catastrophe.

He was soaked all over, and he was embarrassed to sit on a chair in someone's shop.Fortunately, there are plenty of large outdoor plastic benches in the barbecue shop. Seeing him getting wet, a table next to him kindly dragged a red one to Zhou Xiangxing, and asked the waiter if he had any towels.

The shopkeeper immediately yelled back: "There is no waiter!"

He pulled a towel from the back kitchen and handed it to Zhou Xiangxing: "Just wipe it, wring out the water first, there's plenty of toilet paper!"

"Take off your clothes!" An old man said, "Men are not afraid of showing their arms."

The other laughed loudly: "People are shy even when they are young! Talk about quality!"

"Ah-ah! It's about this time, if you are still shy, you must catch a cold every day if you don't take off."

Zhou Xiangxing sat on the red plastic stool, feeling stiff.

He responded one by one, and then took out the phone from his clothes to check. It was indeed terribly wet, but luckily, it was still usable.Partly impatient, partly to avoid these enthusiasm, he called Li Zhi again.

This time, the other party connected.

Li Zhi's voice was false and real, as if he had turned on the speakerphone: "Xiang Xing...?"

It was the first time for Zhou Xiangxing to feel emotional ups and downs, and now he really wanted to cry.But neither on the surface nor in the tone of voice, just straight in: "Where are you?"

There was a lot of wind there, and after a while, Li Zhi replied: "I don't know, there are many trees around...a lot of flowers, many street lights...what's wrong?"

It may be that the spirit is relaxed, and Zhou Xiangxing feels aphasia for such nonsense expressions when he is free.

"Have you caught up with the person you're after?" he asked.

Li Zhi said, "Yes."

Zhou Xiangxing said, "Don't go home."

The wind over there suddenly stopped.

Li Zhi didn't know where he had offended his lover, so he could only subconsciously ask for forgiveness, with a pitiful voice: "I'm sorry...Xiang Xing, I—"

"There are other people at home." Zhou Xiangxing interrupted, "I think it's very dangerous."

He looked outside the door, and saw a few people who were also without umbrellas standing blankly, letting the rain pour down from their heads.Facing this barbecue restaurant, I don't know what I'm doing.

The old man who warmly greeted him to come in just now also opened the door and signaled him to come in and take shelter from the rain.

"Hey, why are there so many people getting wet today?"

"Where are you?" On the phone, Li Zhi immediately responded: "I'll go find you."

The few people got closer and closer, such a strange behavior only caused the old man to say "walking so slowly in the rain", but in Zhou Xiangxing's eyes, he clearly found the other's dark eyes.

And those people didn't say a word, just stared at him.

"I'm downstairs——" Zhou Xiangxing glanced at the menu next to him, "It's in the good brothers' barbecue restaurant."

Li Zhi replied with some hesitation: "...Well, good brothers..."

The few people who came in were of different heights, short, fat, and thin, different genders, and different clothes. In the lively atmosphere, they were cold and out of place.But under observation, it will be found that several people's stepping frequency, size, and even the speed of slowly turning their heads are the same.

"Do you remember!" Zhou Xiangxing quickly answered the phone: "The second year we were together, summer, I am here to invite you to my house."

He said this in a hurry, and he didn't control the volume. All the elders around heard him, and made a strange booing sound.

The few people who just came in didn't smile, they ignored the towels handed over by the shopkeeper, dragged their bodies in water, and walked towards Zhou Xiangxing.There were a total of six people, and they walked over in a semi-surrounding manner, and with the black eyes that didn't move for a moment, they felt a strong sense of oppression.

Zhou Xiangxing couldn't continue to make phone calls.He stood up and could only be prepared to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

He noticed that one of them was flickering in his hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a fruit knife.

If there was a fight here, he thought, the news might only say that some psychopath suddenly killed strangers, not that some monster species turned into a human to hunt.

"Zhou, Xiang, Xing." The man with the knife said each word.The tone is weird, like a mechanical pronunciation that is as standard as possible when the voice is played.

Zhou Xiangxing looked at the other party calmly, but did not answer.

It's a pity that the other party is not so good at waiting.A few seconds passed, and the person who didn't get a reply took another step closer, with the blade slightly raised in his hand: "You, yes, Zhou—"

All of a sudden, it was as if the still button had been pressed.

The glass door was pushed open again.

The old men were amazed: "Are you still here? Today is too lively."

The silver-white half-length hair is close to the scalp, but it doesn't look messy.When Li Zhi walked towards Zhou Xiangxing step by step, the six strangers backed away almost at the same time, shifting their visual focus.

After a little hesitation, they finally chose to leave the store and quickly disappeared into the rain.

"I can remember everything about you."

Li Zhi reached out and grabbed his lover's sleeve, a little proud, a little appreciative, and a little cautious: "It's dangerous outside, don't abandon me, okay?"
