Endless Road of Corpse - C20
Three months ago.
I sat alone in the largest seafood stall in the city. The Taoist that I had previously arranged didn’t appear along with San Mao, so I wasn’t in a rush either. I ordered a plate of fried octopus, a plate of green onion seeds, a plate of clam blood, and two bottles of frozen beer for myself. I don’t know if it was the alcohol or the voices around me, but I felt a warm sense of security, and I felt like the horrible dead man in the morning was a dream of his own, or a movie he was watching, and I was beginning to believe what the officer was saying, that it was a side effect of some kind of drug.
It wasn’t until nightfall that San Mao finally arrived. They walked into Seafood and looked around. When they saw me, they smiled and waved fiercely at me. I saw a girl with them.
The woman was wearing a pale gray T-shirt with a round collar and light blue jeans. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, and her oval face was covered with a light makeup.
“What took you so long!” When they got closer, I complained loudly to San Mao.
“Hey! “Don’t mention it …” San Mao then pulled out two chairs opposite of me and sat the two girls down. Then, he sat down beside me and stretched out his arms as he shouted: “Boss, more food!” When the boss arrived, he didn’t even bother to look at the menu. He just familiarly ordered some seafood and beer before turning to me and saying,
“We’ve been holding an afternoon meeting, saying that we need to start a large-scale anti-drug special treatment, and asking us to go door to door to check out the drug users. What a devilish thing to do!”
“Are you looking for salt?” I was moved and asked.
“Right, right…” It’s this bath salt, how do you know that? ” San Mao picked up my beer and took a big gulp.
“Oh …” Electricity… It’s on TV. ” I took a gulp of wine in a covert manner.
“Forget about that, let me introduce you. This is Selina …” San Mao pointed to “longevity peach”, “Selina’s little sister… “Right, what’s your name?” San Mao moved his finger to the side.
“My surname is Yang.” The girl answered flatly.
“Oh …” San Mao said in an embarrassed tone, then used his shoulder to slam into me, and gave me a wink. I know what he meant was that this bro has found a pretty good girl for you, right?
Not long after, the dishes were served one after another. San Mao poured wine for the “longevity peach” Selina and was about to bring the girl with surname Yang, but was rejected by her, “I never drink,” she said indifferently.
San Mao did not mind, after saying a few words on the battlefield, he and Selina started whispering to each other, and not long after, the two of them entered the state of forgetting themselves and were feeding each other.
“Cough, cough …” I pretended to cough and said to the girl across from me, “Did anyone ever say you looked like MaggieQ?”
“It took you so long to think of this? Aren’t you a seeded contestant from the national girls’ flirting team? ” MaggieQ said contemptuously as the corner of his mouth lifted.
“No, no, no …” Don’t take this as a compliment or a catch-up cliché. In fact, I sincerely think so, and compared to MaggieQ, you look so much better, at least your breasts are so much fuller. I just can’t find a better object to praise you for your natural beauty and talent. ”
She smiled, like the tide had gone back over the rocks, and I don’t know if it was the alcohol or what, but for a moment I thought her smile was so moving that it even dazzled me, and I was stunned. I took a sip of beer to hide my embarrassment.
Fortunately, the timely appearance of the Taoist relieved my awkwardness.
“What’s wrong, Taoist, did you steal something or did you enter the Japanese?” San Mao was the first to see the Daoist leader sneakily looking around.
When the Taoist saw us, he came over, sweating profusely. He grabbed a chair on the other side of me and sat down horizontally, gasping for breath.
“What is it? You got kicked out by a dog? ” I poured the Taoist a beer, and before I could fill it he snatched it up and drank it down.
“Eh? It can’t be that you are trying to take advantage of a lady from a good family, right? ” San Mao looked at the Taoist and asked curiously.
“No, no …” The Daoist hurriedly shook his head and explained, “If I run too fast, I’m afraid you’ll be unhappy too late.”
“Oh right, Taoist, what you said this morning …”
“Ah?” “No, no …” Before I could finish, the Daoist interrupted me and said, “I was joking, I was joking …”
While I was wondering, I suddenly felt a kick on my leg under the table, and then a hand grazed my thigh. I turned my head and saw the Taoist give me a look, so I quietly dropped my hand from the table and felt the Taoist push a ball of paper into my hand.
“I … I … I …” I… I still have things to do… You… You… Eat slowly… “I’ll be leaving first …” The Taoist stuttered as he stood up.
“Ah? This isn’t like you, you always leave after eating your fill and paying the bill, right? ” San Mao ridiculed.
No, no… “Joking …” “The Taoist mumbled incoherently as he walked out, looking left and right as he walked.
“This guy, is he trying to kill me today?” San Mao said as he pointed to the Taoist’s back.
“He’s always been this way. He’s always so secretive. He told me this morning that a few of Ma Hang’s planes were shot down because they had zombies on them.” I hid the ball of paper in my pants pocket and picked up a chopstick of steamed yellow fish with snow vegetables and put it in my mouth to chew.
“Zombies?” MaggieQ’s expression suddenly froze. “What zombie?”
“Right, what zombie?” San Mao was also in high spirits, as he waved his hands and said, “Is it the Hong Kong movie where you can only jump, stretch your arms and pinch people, or the American movie where you have a face full of rotten flesh and shout about wanting to bite someone?”
“It should be the bite type …” I said absent-mindedly.
“Alright, then we won’t have to go to work anymore. We’ll play zombie games everyday!” San Mao shouted without a care.
“Yeah, at that time, I guess no one would care about it anymore. They would just take the famous brands, bags, and jewelry whenever they want …” Darling, remember to get me a Cartier bracelet … ” Selina spoke coquettishly to San Mao.
“No problem, when the Wanxiang City’s first floor is full of people, you can pick whatever you want …” San Mao imitated her tone.
“You’re too good.” Selina kissed San Mao across the table full of dishes.
“Do you believe that?” I was in the dark, when I heard MaggieQ ask quietly across from me.
“What?” I didn’t know what to do.
“Zombie, do you believe that?” MaggieQ stared at me.
“I …” I was momentarily at a loss for words. I suddenly felt a chill as I thought about the monster that I had seen this morning with half of its neck broken and was still crying out.
“I need to go to the bathroom.” I got up and went to the toilet. I found an empty stall and went inside. I took out the piece of paper that the Taoist had given me and unfolded it. On it, there was a single word written crookedly — “Run!”
