DAY 40 Enter F City

Soon everyone packed their bags, and basically everyone was dressed up with a backpack on their backs. I paid special attention to "Mom and Dad", and it seemed that they were just packing their bags, and I didn't notice any strange behavior from them.

"Has everyone packed their things? Once you've packed up, you're ready to go. Dean Lu counted the number of people, and after seeing that we all nodded, he turned around and whispered to Xiaomo, "Xiaomo, can you tell us how to get in next?" ”

Xiao Mo motioned for us to wait where we were for a while, and he turned around and ran towards the concrete city wall, and Dean Lu and his uncle hurriedly followed closely to see if there was anything they could help.

The concrete walls seem to have been around for years, and they are now covered with ivy. Xiao Mo fumbled among a few vines, twisted the key in and out of it, and with the help of Dean Lu and his uncle, he laboriously opened a hidden door. I rushed inside to see that there was a black hole, and there was a thick smell of dust on my face.

My brother sneezed twice, went back to the car, took out a mask from the trunk and put it on, and gave one to each of us by the way.

"Cleanliness." When it came to me, I gave him a roll of the eye. He ignored me, but took off the hat from my head and put it on his own headβ€”to keep it from the dust.

"Then let's sort it out before we go in - let's send Xiaomo to the city government first, and then Xiao'er, Ono, Nuonuo, Luoluo, Comrade Gu Xiao and your sister and brother-in-law and I will go to Qiwang headquarters together, right?" Dean Lu hugged his daughter and said sullenly while wearing a mask.

We nodded, and Dean Lu turned around and waved his hand at the door of the black hole, and said in a rather leadership style: "Okay, then let's go!" Everyone, come with me, I'm familiar with the terrain here in F City! So saying, he dragged the pieces inside.

We hurried to keep up. Dean Lu flashed a flashlight at the front, first scanned the entire room hastily, and found that this place was similar to a utility room in the back, and there was no hidden infected, so he began to find the exit wholeheartedly.

"The door seems to be behind this." The younger brother pointed to the back of a pile of mops and brooms and a pile of thick materials that had been tied up, and said in certainty. We looked there and saw a patina doorknob peeking through the gap between the broomsticks.

Uncle, Dean Lu, "Dad" and "Brother" stepped forward to remove all the clutter - since coming to the edge of F, "Mom and Dad" seemed to have become interested in what we were about to seek, and became especially cooperative with our arrangement. Although it felt very suspicious, it was undeniable that it saved me a lot of effort, so I didn't try to stop them in particular.

The dust was so thick that the four girls behind us coughed. Ono directly secretes a strange "membrane" that wraps around his body, which seems to be dustproof.

Soon, the shape of the door was revealed. It's a small wooden door, and it's covered with a thick layer of dust, so it's hard to see what the material is. After nodding back to us, the younger brother dimmed Dean Lu's flashlight, wrapped his hands in his uncle's medical rubber gloves, and then carefully unscrewed the doorknob.

"Squeak-" The wooden door opened. The younger brother carefully shone his flashlight outward, looked left and right carefully, and then turned back to us and made a "safe" gesture.

Dean Lu reassured himself to take the flashlight back and turn it back to the bright light, motioned for us to follow him, and then continued to walk out with his head - Dean Lu's glasses were half broken at some point, and now his eyesight is a little problematic, and he can't confirm the safety situation in the distance on his own.

Outside is what looks like a long hallway. We seemed to be in the middle of the hallway, and we didn't know whether to go left or right for a moment.

"If this place hadn't been damaged too much by the intested, I remember there was a staircase on the left that led down to the basement; On the right is a staircase that leads up to the hall. The rooms in the middle seem to have been lounges and reception rooms. Xiao Mo said expressionlessly, "The last time I came here secretly was when I was a freshman, I really miss it." ”

"Then let's go down the hall now, which should lead to the main entrance." Dean Lu decisively shone the flashlight to the right.

"The main entrance has long been locked, and you can't get out." Xiaomo shook his head and said, "We have to climb out of the skylight in the attic on the top floor." The glass there had already been smashed, and the adults had climbed out. However, after climbing out, the roof of the building has moss and it is slippery, so everyone should be careful when stepping on it. ”

"Or Xiaomo will lead the way, Dad, you and Uncle Xiao are by the side to protect her, she is still familiar here. We'll lead the way when we're out. "Shatter Dean Lalalu's arm.

Xiaomo nodded indifferently.

Seeing that Xiaomo also agreed, Dean Lu happily handed over the flashlight: "It's also done." Xiaomo, don't be afraid to go ahead, your uncles will protect you when you go with you. After that, he and his uncle stood on both sides of Xiaomo, like two personal bodyguards, but neither of them had many muscles.

Xiaomo took the flashlight and strode forward, leisurely walking around his backyard. Since entering this gloomy and somewhat weird building, Xiaomo has become in a very good mood for some reason, and she has never been so happy to even get a first-class scholarship at school, just like a fish in water, I feel that if we are not there, she will directly hum happily.

Soon, the corridor came to an end, Xiao Mo took a flashlight and looked to the left, it was a staircase covered with red carpet, because it had been too long and no one had used it, and there were still a few cobwebs stacked on top of each other on the edge and on the railing of the handrail. After scanning up and down several times to make sure that there was no infected person, Xiaomo beckoned to us: "This is the staircase I said." When we got to the hall, there was a very large spiral staircase on each side to go up to the third floor, and we had to go up to the fourth floor from the small ladders on both sides of the third floor. ”

We both nodded understandingly, and Xiaomo led us up the stairs.

The design of the hall is very luxurious, and you can see the dignity of the town hall of the past. The marble floor runs from the doorway to the spiral staircase, and in the middle there is a small, dry pool that must have once housed water creatures such as koi, but now all you can see is a thick layer of moss. In the center of the two wide spiral staircases is a large crystal chandelier, the paint on the handrails has long since peeled off. The crystal lamp should have not been used for a long time, and it was covered with dense cobwebs without anyone cleaning it, leaving a luxurious shape in vain. The carpet on the staircase had long since been removed, and the floor was bare, looking a little decayed and desolate. The third floor seems to be an office area, with most of the doors locked. In the middle is a semi-circular platform with two corridors extending from each side, and you can see that there is a window at the end of the corridor.

"Can't you go out of the windows here?" Uncle asked.

"I tried, but I couldn't get out. The glass of the windows here is specially treated with bulletproof thickening, which is inherently difficult to smash. The windows have long been locked, and it is basically impossible to open them without professional props. Xiaomo shook his head and walked into the corridor on the left, not forgetting to turn around and signal us to follow.

I also tugged at the backpack strap and turned left. But unexpectedly, at this time, Ono suddenly grabbed my brother and me with his "tentacles", writhed as if he was eager to express something, and pulled us back at once. When we looked back, there was a black hole, and we couldn't see anything, so we had to helplessly turn on the emergency flashlight in our hands and go to Ono. But I saw Ono stretching out another "tentacle" from the "head", and he was hurrying in one direction to compare something. Could it be that there are infected?! We immediately nervously shone in that direction, but suddenly we saw the back of "Mom" eagerly running in the direction opposite to us.

"'Mom' ('Mom')?!" My brother and I were shocked and our voices changed.
