Nie Renyan always gave people the impression that he was physically strong and rarely got sick. Occasionally, although he looked very intimidating, he often swallowed pills and fell asleep. He was so strong that even animals were jealous. But this time, Ye Zhao always felt different. Besides, when Luo Xiaochen picked him up before, he was dizzy, although after waking up and having a meal, he was jumping up and down as if he had just slept, and Ye Zhao asked Several times he said he was hungry and tired, and then shouted that this topic was too humiliating and should not be brought up again, causing Ye Zhao to give up.

If the fever doesn't go away tonight, tomorrow, no matter how stubborn he is, he will have to be taken to the hospital.

Ye Zhao thought so, so he wiped his hands, went to the bedroom, took off the dark gray coat on the hanger, put it on, picked up the key and walked to the door, his fingers were already on the door handle, but he suddenly remembered what Xia Zhiming said when he called in the morning. , He hesitated for a few seconds, then strode back to the room, picked up the ancient dagger on his head and put it in his pocket.

The scabbard of the dagger was made extremely well, with a moderate thickness, and the entire dagger with the scabbard and handle was about the length of a palm, and it was almost completely invisible when placed close to the palm of the hand in the pocket of the right hand.

Thinking that one day he would carry something like this for self-defense, Ye Zhao shook his head, feeling a little helpless.

The nearest pharmacy is outside the west gate of the community, turn around a street corner, at the top of that road. In the current chaotic situation, if a street can keep people passing by all day, it can be regarded as a relatively lively place. In more streets, except during the rush hour, there are almost no people at all, except in the past. Restaurants with particularly booming business, as well as daily indispensable pharmacies, supermarkets and other places can still maintain operations, and other stores have closed their doors one after another this year.

The whole road, except for the rustling of the withered leaves scraped on the ground by the wind, was quiet and deserted.

Ye Zhao habitually glanced left and right before crossing the sidewalk. He stared at the empty road where he could look directly to the end for a moment, and then realized that there was no need to look at all. Sometimes after being in such an environment for a long time, he would There is an illusion that everything seems to be going on normally, like boiling a frog in warm water, only to realize that it has been sitting in the pot for a long time when it starts to feel hot.

Neighborhoods with fewer and fewer people, more and more news channels reporting abnormal events, and the poisonous mist that will come again at some point, like water slowly heated by a small fire, before the biggest disturbance comes. , Slowly boil people's hearts. Before everyone is uncertain about the future situation, everyone should stay at home as much as possible, stay in the most familiar environment, and wait for the fire to be extinguished and the crisis to be lifted or the hot water to heat up to the boiling point. .

The road in front of the pharmacy is a dead end, and opposite is the courtyard gate of another residential area. It is just wide and narrow enough for a car to enter and exit. A series of storefronts were closed, and the only pharmacy that was open seemed a little lonely. Ye Zhao went in and bought 500ml of wine and came out. Yu Guang saw that there were also people coming out of that community, coming towards the pharmacy, walking slowly, until Ye Zhao left quite far before he heard the sound of the sliding glass door of the pharmacy behind him being pushed.

Ye Zhao is a little distressed about the abnormal hearing now. After all the sounds are amplified, it will produce a strange effect. For example, he has already walked to the corner, but he can still hear the "squeak" of the glass door being pushed again. Ya" sounded, it was estimated that the person came out after shopping.

Before Yu Guang didn't see the person's specific appearance very clearly, he only felt that he was a small man, so his walking voice was quite soft, but even the softest voice sounded like he was right beside Ye Zhao's ears, especially with his own. When the footsteps overlap, there will even be a feeling that the person has been stepping on his own steps and followed behind, and because it is too clear, it is difficult to distinguish the distance.

Ye Zhao didn't really like this feeling, so he stepped up his pace. Who knows, the man's pace seemed to be accelerated, and it was getting faster and faster. From the sound, the time to tap the ground was extremely short, compared to the faster pace. Walking is more like running. As the pace increases, the sound becomes lighter and lighter...

After just a few seconds, the sound disappeared.

Going far into the residential area? Ye Zhao turned around and looked back, the street behind him was empty and no one was there, and the street returned to its previous deserted state. Compared to the feeling of the footsteps echoing just now, it could even be said to be silent.

I guess it's far away...

This kind of auditory effect is really a headache, Ye Zhao let out a "tsk", and secretly said that he couldn't adapt to it for a while, and was made a little suspicious, so he should go home quickly.

He shook his head, turned around and wanted to move forward, but suddenly stopped—

A pair of blood-red eyes were facing him, close at hand.

☆、Chapter24

Ye Zhao was startled, and before he could react, he was shaken by something, and everything in front of him disappeared. Only the boundless darkness is left, like wet ink that smudges in an instant, so thick that it seems that you can reach for a handful, but unfortunately, you can't even see your fingers.

In the darkness, he only felt a pain in his waist. It seemed that something sharp was stabbing in from both sides. The sharp pain that pierced into the flesh made Ye Zhao groan, and he could even feel the warmth. Hot blood was rushing out from the puncture, touching the skin, cooling, and sliding down. The whole person was lifted up, and all the weight was placed on the fixed waist. The feeling of being pulled to both sides by gravity made people feel that the next second would be torn from the waist and then broken into pieces. two pieces.
