Chapter 2 The Missing Memory

Xiang Qi has been in this city full of zombies for three days. In the past three days, he has not found any army to recover the battlefield, and even no planes fly by in the air. The whole city seems to have been completely forgotten by the world, and it has become a paradise for zombies.

Without helicopters or armored vehicles, it is not easy to get through the dense zombies on the road.

On the first day of her arrival, Xiang Qi tried to call home for help. The phone number was connected and he also told the other party about his approximate location. The other end said that he would send two nearby mercenary groups to rescue him immediately. The two uncles led the team in person, but it was the third day, and there was still no sign of the mercenary. However, both sides found many unexplainable doubts from the calls in the past few days.

First of all, the six-year Syrian War ended at the end of last year, and local displaced refugees returned to their countries one after another. Not to mention Syria, there was no place he said to be full of zombies in all Arabic countries.

Secondly, in the more than a year he disappeared, in order to find out his whereabouts, Xiang and his mother's Monterey Haude almost used global resources. However, no matter whether they were installed in their artificial intelligence teeth or the satellite tracking system of his smart watch, they could not find him. The traces displayed on the screen were running around the world. The last moment was in Australia, the next moment, the person had arrived in Africa, and every time they rushed to the sky. What's even incredible is that there were several times that he had even been to the outer space four hundred light years from the earth. And this time, the place where they were obviously not in the Middle East, but in the Western Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the place where he is now must be a mysterious and separately created alien space, and its location is parallel to the ones they detected.

Regarding Xiang Qi's current situation, they are still studying countermeasures, so he must be careful of everything himself.

Reality made the young master Xiang cry without tears. It was impossible to use external forces to get rid of the predicament. Moreover, he noticed that his memory was not only blank for more than a year, but also that before that, it was not even suitable for the ones.

Before he disappeared, he was lying in the hospital. On his seventeenth birthday, he drove the Aston Martin, whom he was sent by his uncle, and his car fell off a cliff. He was seriously injured and had more fractures on his body. On the third day of his hospitalization, he disappeared from his ward without even removing the plaster. All the surveillance records in the hospital did not find any video of him going out.

Behind all these incredible events, there must be some unknown supernatural power that is controlled by people, which is even closely related to the cause of his parents' death back then.

When it comes to supernatural powers, Xiang Qi is not surprised because he has seen the existence of such powers, but what did he forget? What was deliberately tampered with?

Who was the one who brought him out of the hospital? It must have been the one who tampered with his memory.

Every time he tried to think about these problems, he felt a splitting headache and sweating profusely. If there were zombies nearby, his behavior was no different from suicide.

For safety reasons, before leaving this place, he tried not to touch the forbidden area of ​​memory in his mind.

With no water and no food, Xiangqi had to risk his life to go to abandoned buildings everywhere to find something to eat.

This alien space, which seems to have experienced the baptism of war, is short of supplies. The young man who had been hungry for three days finally found several canned beans that had expired for a long time in a villa. As a result, he opened the bottle cap and was immediately retching by the stench that drifted out. He stared at the green mold on the beans, and finally closed the bottle cap again.

The boy tried to turn on the faucet, but as he expected, there was no drop of water. Thirst made him feel more uncomfortable than hunger. If it weren't for the rain yesterday, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on to it now.

But he didn't find anything.

On the kitchen tray, a wooden knife holder was found, with four or five kinds of kitchen knives placed on it.

When Xiang Qi was thrown here, he was empty-handed. When dealing with zombies, he relied on his fists and feet. He didn't bother to say anything, but he also made himself dirty and smelly. So he turned on the distance sensor on the smart watch. As long as the zombie enters the range within five meters around him, it will be prompted with vibration.

At this time, Xiang Qi sensed that the watch was vibrating. He knew that a zombie was coming outside the gate. He couldn't think about it and picked up the entire knife seat. He lifted the handle of the knife with his right hand, gently pulled out a medium-length kitchen knife. He lowered his waist and tiptoed to the kitchen door. He stretched his head to peek. He saw a zombie slowly coming in from the main door, with his back facing him at this time.

Xiang Qi immediately waved the kitchen knife, and the zombies immediately split their heads. The moment the corpse landed, Xiang Qi supported the body that fell to the ground with his toes, and quickly grabbed the head with his knife, then carefully placed it on the ground, and then dragged the body into the kitchen to hide it.

The zombies here are not as dull as in movies and TV dramas. They not only have their own vision and hearing, but also have extremely agile movements. If it weren't for the rotten flesh and corpse stinking on their bodies, he would have thought they were living creatures.

Xiang Qi hid the body, turned around and came to the door, and slightly poked the shaky blade out of the door frame. The blade reflected the scene on the aisle - there were more zombies outside than before he hid in.

If he goes out now, he will definitely attract more numbers, but if he doesn't, his location will be discovered soon.

Xiang Qisi looked around to see if there was any other way to get out of the huge kitchen. However, outside the broken glass window, it was welded to death with anti-theft mesh.

The zombie's footsteps were getting closer and closer, almost reaching the kitchen door. As long as you take another step, you will immediately find that there are living people here.

Xiang Qi glanced at a storage cabinet about one meter high behind him. He immediately opened the cabinet door without hesitation, and when he was lowered and drilled in, he suddenly saw that there was a person hiding inside.

Neither of the parties was mentally prepared, and when they were caught off guard, both of them almost screamed. Almost at the same time, both parties reached out to cover each other's mouth and stared at each other in horror. The man quickly closed the cabinet door with his other empty hand, blocking the light outside, and the cabinet was pitch black.

The scare just now was so scary that Xiang Qi's heartbeat was so fierce. In addition to panic, he was also very excited. After three days, he finally saw a living person.

Both of them were both small and hid in such a small storage cabinet together. The space seemed very crowded. They were tightly next to each other, and they didn't dare to breathe.

After the footsteps outside were heard from far to near, and from near to far, the two of them breathed a little relieved.

The man let go of the hand that was hidden on Xiang Qi's mouth, and shook his head slightly and muffled. Only then did Xiang Qi remember that his hand was still covering the other person's mouth and nose.

"Your hands are so stinky!"

The man whispered.

Xiang Qi let go of the other party, glared at the other party in dissatisfaction in the darkness, thinking that everyone was fighting zombies here, and they probably wouldn't be much better.

"May I have your name?"

The man leaned into Xiang Qi's ear and asked softly, the breath that blew into his ears suddenly made his scalp numb.

Xiang Qi has always hated being too close to others. Under helplessness, he had to endure the dissatisfaction in his heart and replied coldly: "Before asking someone else's name, shouldn't you tell me your own home first?"

"My name is Lake."

"Xiang Qi"

"Chess? A very strange name. Ah, I remember that humans have a table game, which seems to be called chess. It turns out that you humans all like to name themselves with specific objects."

It is not the same word at all, it just has the same pronunciation. I heard my grandfather say before that because he was curious about everything since he was a child, he named it Qi, and their family happened to be surnamed Xiang.

What made him care about was not the other party’s misunderstanding of his name, but the words “you humans” just now. Although there was no change on the surface, he was shocked.

"You... aren't human?"

"Of course not."

"What is that?"

"What do you think?" This person intentionally concealed it, perhaps out of self-protection consciousness.

Xiang Qi didn't know what he was, and he didn't have the heart to guess now. After learning that the other party was not a human, he felt a little disappointed. It seemed that he had really come to an absurd other world.
