Chapter 9: The Piano Player

The wind, blowing again, seems to be the swan song of the ruins.

The sand continued to rage like a cry of misery.

The weather in the world of radiation is so unpredictable, sometimes windy, sometimes slightly sunny. Suddenly, drops of acid rain began to pour down again, and countless people, demon beasts, hurriedly took refuge.

"Oh, what the hell." Someone in the subway couldn't help but complain.

"It would be nice if we could survive. Just now, when I fled in, I saw that someone's gas mask and even his eyes were corroded by acid rain, and it was really miserable. One of them sighed faintly.

Li Qiang and Shuanghua were silent.

Time seemed to stand still for everyone.

I don't know how long it will take for acid rain, and the dry air in the subway makes people even take off their gas masks.

"The storage place is almost there, shall I leave alone and go there?" Li Qiang glanced at the people around him, then looked at Shuanghua again, and pondered in his heart.

At that moment, someone stood up, walked to the nearby power room, and used the portable generator they carried to light up the few remaining light bulbs in the subway. The flickering lights shone on everyone's faces, revealing a trace of gloom and weirdness, and the silent space seemed to be condensed.

Li Qiang stood up and looked into the dark subway tunnel in the distance.

"As far as I can remember, if you walk through this subway tunnel, you can reach your destination. However, there seem to be some gold diggers who have laid a lot of traps inside, as well as bat demon beasts, if you rush in, I ......" Li Qiang hesitated.

"You want to go through the tunnel?" Shuanghua said suddenly.

"yes, it's boring to stay here anyway."

"But... It's dangerous, I advise you to wait for the acid rain to pass, and let's walk together. Frost Hua persuaded.

"Hmm... All right. ”

Li Qiang had no choice but to continue waiting.

I don't know how long later, there was a shout from the subway entrance, and everyone left the gloomy subway with a sigh of relief. However, after they left, about five or six people sneaked out of the tunnel. Judging by its appearance and outfit, it seems to be a group of gold diggers.

"Damn, the current people, one is more than a ghost, and they have no business to do." One said.

"If it weren't for that cold-faced boy blocking it, the other green head would definitely make us a lot of money, it's really hateful." Another said.

"Let's go out, let's go with the two of them, and look at how bulging their backpacks are, and you can tell that there are good things to sprinkle at a glance. When there's no one, we'll get rich!" The leader said in a hoarse voice.

Then, several people hurriedly followed......

After the acid rain, everything was back to normal, and several mutated flying demon beasts even circled back and forth in the air, constantly chirping. Again, the people gathered together went their own way, and in a few moments they vanished.

"Where are you going?" Li Qiang hesitated for a moment and asked.

Shuanghua was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine Li Qiang being so direct, bit his lip, and said thoughtfully; "Basically, I have to walk a road with you, and it is estimated that it will take about half an hour, and we will be separated." After speaking, he looked at Li Qiang with inquiring eyes.

"I, I'm going to the Earthquake Mountain Mansion." Li Qiang said with a smile.

Shuanghua sighed, I don't know if it's true belief or perfunctory.

Then, the two of them didn't have any communication, and just walked silently. But they didn't know that a few hundred meters behind them, there was a group of people, following closely behind, quietly following.

……

Half an hour later, the two finally arrived at the Earthquake Mountain Building.

"I'm leaving, you can live by yourself." Shuanghua looked at Li Qiang, then turned to leave.

"Take care!" Li Qiang said with a smile.

The two have just met, and although they have some friendship, they are also wary of each other. After all, both parties don't know their personalities, and if they accidentally trust the wrong person, that's fine......

"Hehe, Pingshui meets, it's always fate, looking forward to meeting around the corner...... Ahem. Li Qiang shook his head, shook off his thoughts, and then, glanced around, found that no one was following, and then entered the interior of the Zhenshan Building.

The storage place is in the interior of the Zhenshan Mansion, it is impossible, and Li Qiang is just a perfunctory frost.

The Earthquake Mountain Building was originally fifty stories high, but after being swept away by the shock wave of the nuclear explosion, only twenty floors remained. And at the top, it has been reduced to a paradise for birds and beasts.

"Smack."

Kicking and shattering a piece of broken glass, Li Qiang's body flashed, and he walked out of the interior of the Zhenshan Building, and then, along an alley, walked towards the real storage place. I thought that everything about myself should be seamless, no one knew, but I didn't want to, in the ruins a hundred meters away, there were three binoculars watching his every move

"Hmph, little red guy, that's all you can do." The leader sneered and put down the binoculars.

"Big brother caught one!" At this moment, one dragged another person and came to him.

"Spare my life, spare my life, everything on my body has been taken away by you, please, let me live." Blood continued to spill from the nose of the dragged person, red and white eyes, crooked necks, and begged for mercy from the leader.

"Hehe, young man, if you want to blame, blame you for being unlucky and running into us. You have to think, today I robbed you, you beg for mercy, if we let you go, if it falls into your hands next time, will you let us go! So, take a good look at the sun's rays, and then, have a beautiful dream. After the leader finished speaking, his cuffs shook, and a dagger slipped into his palm, and then the other hand pressed the man's eyes, and the dagger stabbed hard.

"Poof."

Blood splattered from the major arteries in the neck, and the dying man continued to struggle, and his body trembled wildly, but it was a pity...... Weak forces simply cannot escape the palms of the other party.

"Life is beautiful, that's why I cherish my life so much!" The leader sneered.

……

The afterglow of the remnant sun is extremely blood-red.

Accompanied by the roar of the beast, it is also a scenery.

"Bang."

As soon as he grasped the body of a mutant spider, Li Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, I accidentally stepped into the spider's nest. Fortunately, he was a capable person, so it took less than ten minutes to finally kill the twenty-odd wall spiders that were common but had grown larger when the sun was about to set and the darkness was about to rise.

Moreover, the control of one's own power has risen to another level.

"No wonder the ability is awakened by a minority, it turns out to be so powerful. I'm still afraid of the big spider......" After Li Qiang woke up to his strength, he recalled the scene when he killed the big spider yesterday, and suddenly showed a helpless smile.

His power is completely above that of this creature. The seemingly hard big spider was basically stepped on by him and directly turned into meat paste. It's ridiculous that he is still cautious and cautious everywhere. I'm really useless with the power I should use, and the power I shouldn't use.

"Well, the night is coming."

Turning on the flashlight, Li Qiang came to the corridor of a residential building. The air in the corridor was unusually dry, and when I breathed a little, I felt my nose itch and couldn't help sneezing. Therefore, Li Qiang put on the gas mask he took off again. Then, with the memory of it, he walked towards the deepest part of the corridor.

"Boss, let's go in, shall we?" A man in the dark said.

"Don't worry, it's very closed inside, even if this kid hides, that is, those rooms, we can find him well all night. Xiao Wu, how are they?" The leader asked.

"A few of them followed the other kid to the A6 area, and I guess they should be able to do it quickly. Hehe, I also want to laugh, these two little red guys dare to go separately, I really don't know whether to live or die!" The man replied.

"After this order, we can rest for another seven days, alas, I really miss my mother-in-law......"

……

"Oh~Oh~Oh~Oh~"

In the darkness, out of nowhere, I suddenly remembered the sound of the piano.

Sometimes the sound is gentle like the winter sun, sometimes cold like steel balls falling to the ground, sometimes heavy like a roar, sometimes gentle and slow......

"It's night, what kind of guy is fine, playing the piano in the middle of the night!" When Li Qiang heard it at first glance, he felt his scalp tingle.

It's just that the more I listen to it, the more I feel, it's very beautiful.

Moreover, although he went deeper and deeper, Li Qiang found that the sound of the piano and his storage place turned out to be a place. This made his face suddenly cold, and even his breathing was much lighter.

"Listen to the sound, someone should be playing the piano inside, could it be that my things have been discovered? No, no, everything was buried underneath the toilet and sealed with cement. As for the person who played the piano, it was probably resting in it and not noticing. Li Qiang thought for a while, stretched out his hand, and quietly turned the doorknob.

"Hey, there's no lock!" He pushed the door a little and found that there was nothing to block it.

Immediately, Li Qiang quietly opened the door, walked in cautiously.

Since the flashlight was turned off, Li Qiang could only rely on the cold moonlight outside, vaguely observing the surroundings.

The room is not big, as soon as you enter, it is the living room, and the sound of the piano comes from a room on the left.

"Who the hell plays the piano at night?" Li Qiang walked to the door and said in his heart.

Immediately, he pushed the door open, took a step forward, and looked inside.

"Wow~"

A piercing voice sounded, and immediately, a dilapidated gray-white piano appeared in front of Li Qiang's eyes. And the person who plays the piano disappears into thin air, as if it never existed.

"Huh? Why no one!"

"Da Da Da ......"

Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind Li Qiang, and he suddenly felt a cold breath rise from the soles of his feet to his head, and his whole body was agitated, and goosebumps fell to the ground. Immediately, he screamed in fright, and then rolled forward.

"Who is it?"

Li Qiang glanced back, but he didn't find anyone.

However, the clear footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they were close at hand, as if they were in their ears.

"Wow~"

The piano sounded again......
