CHAPTER XXXV
Yin Zhen almost fell to the ground!
"How, how is it possible!" He spoke incoherently and waved his hand repeatedly, "No way!" No, it won't! β
"And what is this?" Julia held the shell in her palm, forcing him to look.
"It doesn't have to be to kill me! Maybe it's killing you! β
"That's what people are looking at!" Julia stared at him with hatred, and she pointed to the bedroom again, "I was over there!" You can't aim at me from that direction! You're looking for a book, I'm looking through the closet, so close, and the window is open, can't people see who we are! β
Yin Zhen was dumbfounded and looked at that bullet casing!
Julia calmed her breath for a moment, and she said in as calm a tone as she could, "Think about it, who is going to kill you?" Who hates you to this extent? β
After a while, Yin Zhen shook his head lightly: "No." β
"Really?"
"Not really." He said slowly, "There may be people who don't like me, but they won't kill me, and those people can't come here and shoot me with some light machine guns." β
Julia was also tired, so she threw down the bullet casings and sat down on the purple cloth couch in the living room.
"But right now, there's a killer chasing you." She thought for a moment and said, "It should be a novice, and after so many bullets, you can still let us escape." Hmph, DP light machine, Russian stuff ......"
Yin Zhen raised his head suddenly: "You mean, that Si, Si Jiepan?" β
"I don't know." Julia shook her head, "I haven't done anything to anger him in the past six months, and besides, there's no reason for him to keep following us here." β
"So, what do we do now?" Yin Zhen stood up, he also wanted to drill into the study, Julia grabbed his arm, "I still want to go in!" You are crazy?! β
"But my book ......"
"Books are all over the world! Don't look for any books in this life-and-death situation! β
Julia said, glancing downstairs, and she jumped up: "Oops! β
Yin Zhen walked over, lowered his head, his eyes fell downstairs, and for a while, cold sweat wet his underwear!
The originally calm and uninhabited streets, groups of zombies appeared out of nowhere! They came out from all directions and rushed towards this building, and the leading group had already entered the corridor!
"It was the gunfire just now!" Julia gritted her teeth and said, "This kind of thing, whenever there is a loud sound, it will swarm. They're going to climb the stairs too, so we can't stay in this house anymore! β
"What now?" Yin Zhen panicked.
"It's impossible to go downstairs, we can't clash with the zombies head-on. Go to the rooftop! Maybe there is a way out. β
Julia said as she quickly packed her backpack and gun, and Yin Zhen had no choice but to zip up her backpack and pick up a crowbar.
As he was about to step out of the threshold, he glanced back at his study. Julia could see that his expression was like his heart was dripping blood!
Julia swallowed back the swear words that came to her lips, and she had to persuade: "It's important to run for your life, let's go!" β
This building is a bit high, a total of twenty-five floors, the two of them panted and ran to the roof of the building, fortunately there was an iron door there, Yin Zhen hung the bolt, and tightened the latch with the iron tongs he had just found.
"Is it safe here?" He looked around in horror, and the rooftop was empty, "If that murderer just now finds the target, it will be troublesome." β
"He's not coming." Julia looked at the other side, "Now that the zombies are pouring over, if I were him, I would be the first to run for my life." β
On the wide rooftop, the stone bricks under the feet were hot by the midday sun, the sky was the peculiar pale gray-blue of the early winter in the south, a few birds flew by in the distance, the sun was very big, and everything seemed so bright. Exposed to the golden thread-like sun, both of them were a little drowsy, Julia looked down, and the zombies in all directions were all attracted because of the burst of gunfire just now!
Right now, they're lining up and pouring into the building!
"Where to escape?" Yin Zhenquan has no idea, since he climbed onto this rooftop, his thinking seems to be dulled a lot.
Julia looked around, "There are only two ways to go downstairs, first, go down the fast trash lane." β
"Trash?" Yin Zhen was stunned.
"Yes, look over there, throw garbage from the roof, you don't have to carry it yourself, and it falls to the first floor." Julia said, "We can climb down the garbage ......"
"No, no, no! I don't do it! Yin Zhen immediately retorted, "That's a place to walk the garbage, it's too dirty!" How can a man go from there? β
Julia was helpless: "Okay, you have a habit of cleanliness - what about going down the elevator shaft?" β
"Can you go down?"
Julia looked embarrassed: "...... I don't know if I can pry it open. β
"There's really no other way?"
Julia didn't answer him immediately, she walked to the edge of the other end and looked.
"Look, there are five more houses over there."
Yin Zhen nodded: "This building is in the southernmost part. β
"And there's very little distance between the two buildings."
Yes, the space between each building is not large, and at first glance, it looks as if you can reach the roof of the opposite building in one big stride.
"Why are you so close?"
"To save land." Julia said.
Yin Zhen looked at her in confusion: "How do you want to get over?" β
Julia pulled out a steel rope from her waist with a flexible folding iron hook at the top. She took the other end of the hook and threw it hard at the roof of the opposite building!
I only heard a loud sound, and the iron hook hung on the iron fence on the roof of the opposite building!
Then, she tugged at the iron lock again, and the steel chain shook in mid-air, making a soft gurgling sound.
"It's sturdy, we can go over." She turned her head to look at Yin Zhen, "Look, starting from here, all the way to the last building in the north, now the zombies are attracted to this building, and it's safe over thereβhow do you think?" β
Somehow, Yin Zhen's eyes were full of fear, he looked at the blue sky, the steel cable hanging in the air, shining with silver light, and asked, "Do you want to rely on this steel cable to swing through?!" β
"yes, what else else can you come up with?"
Yin Zhen moved to the edge in small steps, he looked down, and suddenly his face turned pale, and layers of cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
"What's wrong?" Julia was startled and hurriedly came over to support him, "Ah Zhen, are you not feeling well?" β
"Head...... Halo ......"
Yin Zhen tried to spit out these two words, his legs were obviously weak, so he had to hold on to the railing and sit on the ground.
"No, it won't!" Julia couldn't help but laugh, "Are you afraid of heights?" β
"Afraid of heights? No, I ...... I've just never stood on such a high place......"
"It's not too high, it's only about 20 floors."
"It's just twenty floors?!" Yin Zhen glared at her angrily, almost roaring, "This is obviously a cliff!" β
Julia wanted to go crazy: "Is it still a cliff at this height?" Then when you get to the Empire State Building, won't you turn into a puddle of mud? β
Yin Zhen's face was pale and his hands were clutching the railing, neither moving nor speaking.
"No, stop sitting here!" Julia got anxious, "You have to get out of here anyway, you listen, the zombies are coming!" β
Yin Zhen was stunned, and sure enough, the dull footsteps rumbled, like summer thunder, coming out of the corridor.
"Is it better to be bitten to death by a zombie, or is it better to risk crawling over?" Julia stared at him.
Stimulated by these words, Yin Zhen took a deep breath, grabbed the railing with both hands, and barely stood up. But before he could get to the tightrope, he couldn't do it again.
"Let's go." He bent down as if he was about to throw up, "I...... I'll find a way to get down somewhere else. β
"Where else! There's only one way! Julia immediately said, "Don't delay, get over there!" β
Yin Zhen still didn't move.
Seeing him like this, Julia was in a hurry.
Finally, she nodded: "Aren't you afraid?" Good! Then you hold me! β
Yin Zhen was taken aback and looked up at her: "What are you holding on?" β
"I'll take you and take you there." After Julia finished speaking, she walked up to the tightrope, stepped on the outside of the railing with one leg, grabbed the tightrope above her head with both hands, and she looked at Yin Zhen, "Hurry! Come here! β
Yin Zhen hesitantly walked up to her and stared at her.
"Hold me, quick!"
Yin Zhen didn't move.
"Hurry up!" Julia was a little anxious, "Listen, they're slamming on the door!" β
Sure enough, there was a dull crashing sound from the iron gate on the rooftop, and the latch they had clamped with pliers was being slammed and shaky.
"Don't grind! They're coming out! Ahh Life first! Hold me! Hurry up! β
Yin Zhen took a deep breath and finally stepped forward and hugged Julia.
"Don't let go, just grab me and close your eyes." She whispered in his ear, "Thinking 'Hold on, hold on.'" Don't be afraid, we can get out. β
Although his eyes were closed, Yin Zhen could also feel the sliding of his body, the sound of the whistling wind in his ears, the abyss hanging under his feet, and he could hear the steel rope above his head, making a creaking sound, the sound was terrifying!
But at this moment, he didn't dare to think about anything, his mind was blank, and he could only silently say "Hold on, hold on, hold on" in his mouth. He could hear Julia's gasp as she moved one hand at a time across from her.
It seemed that it had been 10,000 years, Yin Zhen suddenly felt that his feet had stepped on a hard object, and he probed it with his hand, it was an iron railing!
"Be careful, take a step and flip over." Julia grasped the rope in one hand and held his arm in the other.
Yin Zhen climbed in from outside the railing in a posture as stiff as a puppet.
As soon as he got to safety, he fell to the ground!
On his forehead, there was a cold sweat, and Yin Zhen's clothes were soaked.
"It's really unproductive." His eyes glazed over and he muttered, "Allergies and ...... What kind of fear of heights, by the way, you still say that I am short-sighted...... Also said I had obsessive-compulsive disorder...... Why am I so bad! β
Yin Zhen's voice sounded as if he was about to cry. However, Julia didn't care about comforting him, she quickly untied her backpack and threw it beside Yin Zhen, then grabbed the steel rope and swung back to the opposite rooftop, she had to untie the steel cable and take it away.
No matter how hard Julia tried, she couldn't get the steel cable head stuck in the water tank gate.
Yin Zhen relieved himself here, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Julia untie the tightrope, so he couldn't help but get anxious!
"Hurry up! They're about to knock the door open! β
"Shut up! Don't rush me! Julia screamed.
After waiting a little longer, Julia still couldn't get the steel cable open, she was about to collapse, and she jumped on the high platform at once, and smashed the tank gate with a fist!
"If you can't get it, forget it!" Yin Zhen couldn't help but say again, "Julia, it's too late, come here!" β
"No! Gotta bring the steel cables! β
Before Julia's words fell, she heard the door of the rooftop slam!
The latch snapped and the zombies rushed out!
