Chapter 36: The Weird Supermarket
"Since everyone is going to Rong City, let's pick up the weapons they have in their hands on the side. An Lin waved the axe in his hand.
A few people rummaged around randomly.
"Who?"
An Lin saw that there were many swaying figures in the distance, not like those aimless monsters, and hurriedly snorted.
Zhang Cheng and a few people hurriedly surrounded him, only to see a lot of white figures approaching this side twenty or thirty meters away.
"Don't get me wrong, we are alive. ”
Hearing someone speak, An Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
When the visitor approached, a few people saw clearly that there were more than a dozen people in white coats. There were a few people in civilian clothes, who should be the same kind of people as An Lin.
The man in the white coat at the head took off his helmet, and a bronzed face appeared, with a serious face and a piercing gaze.
"Hello, I'm Lu Tian. Lu Tian waved his hand to everyone.
After a brief understanding, An Lin and the others knew that these people in white coats were actually from military backgrounds, and they received a mission this morning to escort people infected with the plague in various regions. And when mutant monsters began to appear among the quarantined people, it caused a huge panic, and then the various quarantine areas began to receive news of evacuation.
Lu Tian, as the captain, stayed at the end of the evacuation, accompanied by more than a dozen teammates, and happened to encounter a sudden earthquake, so he casually found a place to hide around, and a few people in civilian clothes in the team were the last people to be quarantined.
"So you locked the door of the isolation building?" Gu Shitian said with some indignation.
"Well, I see. Lu Tian said with some embarrassment.
"What are you going to do now?" An Lin didn't want to dwell on this issue, and quickly changed the topic.
"We plan to go back to Rong City to report first, and then follow the arrangements of our superiors. Lu Tian said without thinking about it.
"As a soldier, this is my duty, not to mention that in the face of such a major disaster, we cannot back down, even if it costs us our lives. Seeing that An Lin and the others had expressions of disbelief, Lu said firmly.
An Lin admired this group of soldiers more and more, even though he knew that he was captured by them, and even almost lost his life here, An Lin unconsciously gave them a non-standard military salute.
Lu Tian stood straight and returned to An Lin with a military salute.
"Captain Lu, are you going to Rong City, we happen to be able to go with you. Gu Shitian seemed to see a life-saving straw.
"That's what we mean, since we're all human beings, it's right to take care of each other. Lu Tian responded.
Why do you think that Lu Tian's words sound so awkward, An Lin thought silently in his heart, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, and he didn't bother to worry about anything.
So An Lin, Zhang Cheng and other 5 people joined Lu Tian's team.
Along the way, a group of 22 people divided into 4 groups, and walked along the broken highway towards Rong City at intervals of dozens of meters, and An Lin and the 5 of them were divided into a group. According to Lu Tian, the goal of 22 people is too big and easy to attract the attention of monsters, and such a method of breaking up into pieces can save some unnecessary trouble.
An Lin and the five of them followed at the back of the team, and during this time, they encountered several scattered mutant monsters, all of which were directly killed by Lu Tian and them.
It has now been determined that the fatal point of those monsters is the head, and there is no blood flow to any part of the body, and it seems that the source of power that supports their body comes from the head.
Those soldiers were equipped with a bayonet and a baton, which were about a foot long, while An Lin and several of them, some of them were holding steel pipes and some of them were holding kitchen knives, which could be described as having their own characteristics.
The team walked through crumbling buildings and bottomless crevices, but did not meet any survivors.
Soon, the first group led by Lu Tian stopped in the distance, and the group gathered together one after another.
In front of everyone, there is a convenient small supermarket called "Laibin Supermarket", which may not be too high, so it was better preserved in the earthquake, and only a few cracks can be seen vaguely.
The group tossed for a long time, and now they were hungry, and when they saw a supermarket, they thought about filling their stomachs first.
The door of the supermarket was open, and everyone walked in directly without waiting for Lu Tian's arrangement. The space is very spacious, there are not many things, and at first glance you know that it is a supermarket that is not very prosperous.
There was no one to guard the house, most of them were scared away by the earthquake and did not know where they went.
"Ah~~~" The alarm came, and the supermarket was full of echoes again and again.
"What's the matter, didn't you tell you to control your voice?"
Everyone hurriedly looked for a sound, and Li Qiang, who was deep in the shelf, sat on the ground.
"How did you do that?" Lu Tian hurriedly walked over.
An Lin also followed closely and couldn't help frowning.
In front of him were 3 skeletons, but there were no tooth marks on them.
"It's not a model, it's supposed to be someone who has been eaten by something, and it's not too long. But it's certain that it wasn't made by humanoid monsters, otherwise it wouldn't have been cleaned up so cleanly. Lu Tian pointed to the blood stains on the ground and the gnawed bones that were gnawed, "Everyone take something casually, we have to evacuate here quickly." ”
When such a thing happened, everyone didn't care about resting, so they hurriedly ran outside the supermarket with their things, and quickly evacuated the supermarket all the way.
"Alright, let's stop and count the numbers. Seeing that he couldn't see the supermarket, Lu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain, we have a total of two less, one of them is Qiangzi, and the other is named Gu Shitian. "After counting the number of people, a man in a white lab coat reported.
When they heard that someone was gone, their faces turned very ugly.
An Lin looked around, and there was indeed no figure of Gu Ishida.
"I suggested going to the commissary, maybe they didn't hear the arrangement or didn't keep up with the line. A burly man in a white coat said uncertainly.
Lu Tian looked at the person who spoke with some sternness.
"Do you all think you should go back to them?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Tian glanced around, especially the people in white coats who all bowed their heads.
"Since you are my soldiers, I am responsible for your lives, and now I order you to stay put, and I will go and bring them back. Lu Tian said solemnly.
"Captain, I just said it, you don't have to..."
"Wu Hao, you don't need to say it, I have made up my mind. Lu Tian didn't wait for Wu Hao to finish speaking.
"If I come back and find someone leaving the team without permission, I will no longer be a brother. Lu Tian slowly walked towards the supermarket.
An Lin has never been a soldier and has never experienced the strong brotherhood in the team, but when he saw the friendship of Lu Tian and his entourage, his heart couldn't help but be a little touched.
"Wait a minute, Captain Lu, I'll go with you. An Lin followed.
Lu Tian couldn't help frowning: "What are you here to make trouble, didn't you let you stay there?"
"Captain Lu, in fact, you don't have a score in your heart, do you?" Seeing that Lu Tian was a little inexplicable, An Lin continued, "So many people have been evacuated, Gu Shitian and they can't know anything, and now there is no figure of them, the answer is already obvious." ”
"If you live to see people, you must die when you die, soldiers can die in battle, you can bury your bones in other places, but you can't be so unclear and there will be no more. Lu Tian said firmly, and then frowned: "You can't come to this muddy water." ”
"Captain Lu, I admire your character, and I know your current mood, but I am not your soldier, and I will not accept your arrangement. An Lin didn't wait for Lu Tian to speak.
Lu Tian saw that An Lin insisted on following him, and he was helpless.
The two kept looking for cover, and slowly approached the supermarket, and the surroundings seemed extremely quiet, not like there were people.
Lu Tian gestured to An Lin, and the two of them stood on either side of the supermarket door.
Through the light, you can see the contents of the small half of the supermarket, and then it is a blur, and many places are blocked by the goods, becoming a blind spot.
"Qiangzi, Gu Shitian, are you inside, if you are inside, you will reply?" Lu Tian controlled his voice, trying to let the people inside hear.
After a few moments, there was no response.
The two glanced at each other, Lu Tian pointed to the supermarket, and then walked slowly towards the supermarket.
There was no response from the supermarket, indicating that either there was no one or that someone had been killed. I thought that Lu Tian would turn back, but seeing Lu Tian walking inside without hesitation, An Lin had no choice but to follow.
What a persistent person, I have to say how stubborn the soldiers are sometimes, but their stubbornness is admirable.
The supermarket became dim, and An Lin couldn't help but lift his spirits, and kept scanning the surroundings, afraid that something was missing.
"Qiangzi, is that you?" Lu Tian shouted into the corner of the wall in the distance.
An Lin hurriedly looked over, although the room was a little dim, but after getting used to the light, he could barely see the surroundings clearly, and at this time, a white coat appeared in the corner of the wall.
"Wait. Seeing Lu Tian walking quickly towards the corner of the wall, An Lin hurriedly grabbed him.
Lu Tian struggled twice, and when he saw that he couldn't break free from An Lin's hand, he looked at An Lin with some surprise.
"There is an estimated danger ahead, so let's go through it slowly and pay attention to the situation around us. An Lin knew that it was impossible to persuade Lu Tian now, so he simply agreed with him.
The two approached the corner of the wall, only to find that there was a skeleton wrapped in a white coat, and there was a skeleton wrapped in clothes next to it, and there was a trace of undried blood on the skeleton, which should have died not long ago.
The other skeleton should be Gu Shitian, and An Lin remembered that Gu Shitian was wearing such a costume.
Without showing much mood swings, An Lin focused most of his energy on his surroundings at this time.
The more this was the case, the more An Lin felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder, as if some danger was quietly approaching, even if he tried to keep himself calm, An Lin's palms couldn't help but ooze sweat.
"What are you going to do?" Seeing Lu Tian stretching out his hand to pick up the white coat, An Lin reflexively stretched out his axe to stop Lu Tian.
Something was squirming under the white coat, and An Lin took Lu Tian and hurriedly took a step back.
"Boom~"
"Captain Lu, did you hear any strange sounds?"
"What sound?" Lu Tian frowned, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Is there something coming to us, listen carefully?" An Lin was sure that he had heard, perhaps he had entered the artistic conception and improved in all aspects of his body.
The voice became louder and louder, and Lu Tian finally found the clue.
