Chapter 2: The Creeper
As if to verify Shen Hao's prediction, a series of glass crackling sounds sounded at the same time, and more than a dozen creepers broke through the windows and landed on the outer wall of the building, surrounding them from all sides of the building at the same time like sharks smelling blood.
"It's really a terrible rhythm!" Shen Hao looked down, and suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, even he would never be able to resist the siege of so many creepers, it seemed that he could only forcibly break through.
"I'll hold them off for a while, and you'll all go back to the building, don't run apart!"
Shen Hao only had time to shout such a sentence to the few people behind him, and the head of the first creeper had already appeared at the edge of the platform. Shen Hao hurriedly stepped up and knocked it down from the tall building in the same way, and at this time, the claws of another creeper clasped the edge of the platform more than ten meters away from him, and then with both claws, his whole body jumped high.
Shen Hao knew that the distance was too far, so he didn't rush up to intercept it, but just took off the pipe wrench in his left hand and flew out. The creeper wanted to pounce on the prey immediately after landing, but who knew that the jumping body had not yet fallen to the ground, a pipe wrench with a powerful force, hit its chest fiercely, and the body suspended in the air was actually out of the range of the roof by this blow, and the creeper screamed, desperately spitting out the long tongue in his mouth, trying to catch something, and avoid the doom of falling to death from a 30-story building.
The long tongue curled in the air, indeed catching something, but it did not stop its downward trend, but instead drove its body to fly farther away from the outside of the building. It turned out that Shen Hao flew out of a wrench again, accurately hitting the tongue of the creeper who wanted to save his life, and completely harvested its last bit of life.
Solving the two creepers in the flash of lightning was already Shen Hao's limit, and more creepers had already rushed to the rooftop.
Unfortunately, the survivors did not follow Shen Hao's instructions to rush through the iron door leading to the interior of the building, and the female clerk who had asked Shen Hao for water before only had time to let out a scream, and a creeper's long scarlet tongue had already shot into her open mouth, opening a bloody hole in the back of her head, and the red and white liquid splashed her companion behind her. A male staff member brandished a wooden stick as if trying to resist, but in the next moment, two creepers had bitten his shoulders and thighs respectively, and with force left and right, they tore him in half alive, and the blood plasma wrapped in the steaming internal organs scattered all over the ground.
The rest of the men were not spared, as several creepers slashed them into pieces with a wave of their claws, and then each snatched a stump and began a bloody feast on the spot.
The rest of them surrounded Shen Hao, and their sharp tongues were like spears waiting to be shot, locking the dodge space on his left and right.
"Damn, you're ruthless!" Shen Hao hated the middle finger towards the creepers, and decisively jumped off the side of the rooftop.
This office building is 100 meters high, Shen Hao's head and feet fall vertically, the wind is whistling in his ears, and it has fallen more than 20 meters in a blink of an eye. Shen Hao grasped the handle of the axe with both hands, and slashed at the exterior wall of the building with a heavy axe. With a thud, the blade of the axe shattered a floor-to-ceiling window and snapped firmly into the frame of the windowsill. Shen Hao's arm muscles stood up, and he resisted the force of the fall, and there was an overwhelmed ** from the axe body and axe handle, but fortunately it was not broken. Shen Hao exhaled, his left hand reached out and grabbed the edge of the window, and his whole body bent and let go, like a vigorous mountain ape, he climbed into the broken window.
It is a small office, only about 60 square meters. Maybe these employees happened to rest when the disaster happened, so the doors and windows were well locked, there were no zombies inside, and the objects were placed neatly, but no one cleaned them for a long time, and a lot of dust had accumulated.
Shen Hao entered through the window and landed on a desk, and the computers and documents on the table fell to the ground. Shen Hao turned over and landed, and instead of picking up the axe that had fallen to the side, he directly lifted a desk and smashed it towards the window when he came in. At the same time, a chasing creeper appeared at the open window, and then, with a dull crash, the hapless pursuer reluctantly walked in the footsteps of the previous three of his kind, holding the huge desk.
Before the next pursuer arrived, Shen Hao had already picked up his axe and rushed out of the door, kicked over a zombie that was caught off guard, and rushed to the corridor of the floor.
The corridor of the office building is relatively wide, about two meters long, the walls and floors are covered with dried reddish-brown bloodstains, many doors and windows are in tatters, and there are many zombies in office uniforms roaming inside and outside the house. Perhaps alarmed by the sound of Shen Hao closing the door, many zombies have already begun to look this way.
"Look at your sister!"
Shen Hao ran wildly, knocked down the nearest zombie with an axe, and then avoided the clumsy pounce of the two zombies in front of him in two beautiful sliding steps in a row, and quickly passed through the corridor before the other zombies had time to close the circle, and came to the gate of the safe passage. At the same time, there was a violent crash on the door of the room that had just been closed, and the creeper, who was supposed to be tracking, reappeared.
The door of the security passage is not locked under normal circumstances, and the material and thickness of the door are much stronger than ordinary doors, Shen Hao pushed the door in, and then quickly turned around to close the security door, and inserted the axe horizontally on the doorknob to act as a latch. After doing all this, Shen Hao did not go down the stairs, but jumped directly from the narrow gap in the middle of the escalator, so that not only could he avoid the zombies in the corridor, but if the creeper crashed into the security door, it would be impossible to catch up with him quickly.
Shen Hao fell rapidly, and there were at least sixty meters above the ground here, so he used his hands and feet to step on the handrails on the left and right sides to cushion and slow down every time he fell a certain distance. After six or seven buffers in a row, Shen Hao's feet finally touched the ground again, he landed and rolled, unloading the last bit of impact, and then slammed open the door of the passage and came to the hall on the first floor.
The hall was already a mess, because he had roughly cleaned it when he went upstairs before, so there were not many zombies still active, Shen Hao was defenseless at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to entangle with them, although he could easily break the zombies' heads with his bare hands, but those plasma and broken bones were also full of biochemical viruses, in case of infection, it would be worth the loss.
Shen Hao used the scattered debris in the hall to bypass a few lonely zombies and come to the main entrance of the building, because he walked in the underground garage when he entered the building before, so the two tempered glass doors were still locked at this moment. Shen Hao pulled a swivel chair from the overturned service desk and slammed his arms into the glass door.
"Bang-" There was a loud bang.
The metal swivel chair and the tempered glass door exploded at the same time, and Shen Hao bent down to dodge a few flying debris, and then quickly rushed out of the building through the hole in front of the door.
The office building is directly opposite a commercial street, although it is not the main road, but the flow of people is also considerable, so there are many zombies wandering around at this time. And the sound of the door breaking just now was more like a drop of water falling into an oil pot, which immediately caused the corpses to boil, and countless zombies stared at the blood-red eyes and rushed towards this side with teeth and claws.
Shen Hao looked around, on the left hand side was the entrance to the underground garage of the building, and the iron gate at the door had been lowered when he broke in before, and there were already many creepers inside the building, which was not as safe as the outside. 50 meters on the right-hand side, there is an alley leading to the back street, which is very inconspicuous, so I didn't notice it when I came here before.
Shen Hao quickly chose the latter, and the distance of 50 meters was only a breath or two for him, and it was instantaneous. The alley is very narrow, because there are tall buildings on both sides, so the light is not sufficient, and it looks a little dark, but even if you encounter zombies in such an alley, there should not be too many zombies, but the zombie crowd swarming behind you is a big trouble. Shen Hao looked around and found that there was a car that crashed on a lamppost not far from the left, the front of the car was seriously damaged, not enough to have no oil leakage and fire, the door was wide open, there were no corpses and blood stains inside, and the hand brake was not closed.
"That's it."
Shen Hao stepped forward quickly, grabbed the rear of the car and slammed it hard, the sunken front of the car and the lamppost made a piercing scraping sound, and the body was actually pulled back a few steps.
Shen Hao exhaled, his arms exerted force again, and the car turned in a different direction and was pulled towards the mouth of the alley. At this time, the surrounding zombies are getting closer and closer, the zombies are not moving too fast due to their stiff limbs, which is slower than the speed of normal people running, but it is also slightly faster than the speed of normal people walking, Shen Hao pulled the car, and was suddenly shortened by the zombie group. The two nearest zombies were less than three meters away from him.
At this time, Shen Hao had successfully pulled the car to the entrance of the alley, he squeezed into the alley sideways, and then turned around to hold the bottom of the car and lifted it hard, the car was immediately lifted on its side, like an iron gate blocking the mouth of the alley, and in the next moment, a dense knocking sound came from the opposite side of the car, and the metal shell seemed to begin to emit an overwhelmed **. But no matter what, the surging zombie crowd was temporarily intercepted, Shen Hao clapped his hands with satisfaction, turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the alley.
Three hours later, night fell, two kilometers away, inside a small supermarket.
Dimmy, cold, foul smell. Flickering incandescent lights, broken wires emitting a little bit of fire, and the sound of "sizzle", collapsing shelves, messy goods, a pool of half-congealed black blood, and a strange whining sound as cold wind blew in through the broken glass windows.
Shen Hao threw the bloodstained trash can on the ground and sat on the overturned shelf, gasping for breath. This is a side street, and there are not too many residents nearby, so the density of zombies is relatively small. Shen Hao took a moment to clear the surrounding rangers, and finally won a gap to rest before dark. The continuous running and fighting has caused a lot of consumption of your physical strength and energy, especially at night, and this consumption will be further exacerbated, so it is essential to find a shelter to spend the night in advance.
Shen Hao got up and re-closed the knocked down door, pulled down the roller shutter, and moved all the shelves to the door, and then stopped.
The supermarket was small, and most of the goods had been looted by the previous survivors, leaving little of value on the ground except for the debris of the shelves and the large pool of blood. However, Shen Hao knew that a small private supermarket like this would usually prepare a separate compartment at the back of the house as a temporary storage room. When disaster strikes suddenly, people fleeing will loot goods that have been left outside, but in most cases there is no time to go to the storeroom.
Of course, this is also because the storage room doors are locked. However, this level of door lock was of little significance to Shen Hao, he easily unscrewed the lock cylinder, and then opened the small door of the storage room.
This is a confined space of about 12 square meters, except for the small door to enter, there is only a small window of one meter square. The room is neatly stacked with all kinds of goods, most of which have not been unpacked.
"Looks like we'll have a better time tonight." Shen Hao laughed.
