Volume II: Chapter 97: The Survivors
The four rifle birds came and went quickly, and all the bullets fell to the ground with a shuttle of Ma Tao's hand, and sparks sparked.
Taking advantage of the gap between Ma Tao and the rifle bird, Xiao Jinzi had already run to the wooden box in two steps and opened it.
"Holy! I thought there was something good, just a pair of rag shoes, still small. ”
The disappointed little gold took out the cloth shoes and looked at them, and said with a depressed face.
"Keep it, it's not cheap to have broken shoes in this world, and there are a lot of barefoot, and this is still a new pair, take it back and sell it or give it to whoever can wear it, you don't give it to me"
Ma Tao removed the chip G of the four rifle birds on the ground one by one, it was less than 30G, it was really rubbish, and he glanced back at the pair of cloth shoes that Xiao Jinzi was holding in his hand and didn't care about the fact that this kid was going to open the box without authorization, and said with a smile.
"Yes! Go back to An Ruo and see if she can wear it."
After being reminded by Ma Tao, Xiao Jinzi proudly put the shoes into his backpack.
Sister Han didn't care about the two of them at all, and she didn't care about what was in the box, she had already gone to the staircase to observe alone, it is estimated that if it weren't for waiting for Ma Tao and the others, this woman would have gone upstairs a long time ago.
Out of this room, Ma Tao glanced at the locked white steel door again, and his consciousness told him that there must be something in there, but if he couldn't get in, everything was in vain.
"What? You still want to study that lock, just this thickness of the wall, and the steel door so strong, even if you blow up a grenade, not a dozen of them are enough."
Xiao Jinzi stretched out his finger and pointed to the nearly twenty centimeter-thick wall buttresses in this room, and then knocked on the white steel door twice.
"You say... What could be here? Could it be an alien? ”
Ma Tao asked as he squinted at the keyhole on the door.
"Anything is possible, anyway, it can't be an alien, if you are locked here, Da Luo Jinxian will starve to death"
Xiao Jinzi raised his mouth and laughed at himself.
Ma Tao was also stunned by his words, thinking about it carefully, what he said was indeed very reasonable, looking at the dust on the white steel door, it was obvious that no one had opened it for a long time, it was absolutely impossible for a living creature to be accurate, so what would it be? What needs to be hidden in such a sturdy place?
With this question in his head, Ma Tao thought about it for a while, and suddenly a continuation that had been mentioned popped out of his mind.
Almighty Key!! Will it be the all-purpose key there!! But isn't the key to the omnipotence supposed to be in Kacharu's hands? Who wouldn't take something so important with them?
Left and right couldn't figure out what was going on here, this door couldn't be opened, Ma Tao didn't think about it anymore, and said "Let's go" and went to meet Sister Han.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long"
As soon as he met Sister Han, seeing that she was carefully guarding the staircase, thinking that the two of them had made her wait for so long, Ma Tao suddenly felt embarrassed.
Sister Han glanced back at him, didn't say anything, and began to walk cautiously to the fourth floor with the semi-automatic rifle in her hand.
I don't know how she did it, Ma Tao's cloth shoes will more or less make a sound when walking on this staircase, and this woman's leather boots will not make any noise, looking at Sister Han walking in front is like a little wild cat hunting proudly, calm, calm, beautiful pace, unhurried but always ready, thinking about himself and Xiao Jinzi just now are still thinking about the cheapness of cloth shoes, who is professional and who is part-time, at a glance, this is not comparable at all, If Sister Han found that pair of cloth shoes herself, she might not consider whether she could use them at all, as long as she could fit them on her body, she had to take them all away in order to live, and it was really her own line of people who had always lived too superior, in this world, bounty hunters without chariots were real hunters.
At this moment, Sister Han inadvertently taught Ma Tao a real lesson, and let Ma Tao understand why she rarely spoke after entering the building, for bounty hunters, being able to hide themselves in dangerous places is the most bullish hunter, thinking of this, Ma Tao also began to deliberately restrain himself from talking in such a place.
Maybe it's not a bad thing to bring Sister Han out.
Soon, the three of them went up to the fourth floor and eliminated several waves of annoying rifle birds, the attack of this thing did not pose any threat to the three of them now, and the monster that sent the head was the most annoying, but the three of them cleaned them up quickly.
The layout of this floor is still the same, there are two rooms in the same room, there is only a large wardrobe in one room, the things in the wardrobe have rotted and long hair, they can't be seen anymore, I don't know what there is, there is nothing else in this room.
As for the other room, it's a bit interesting, the entrance, that is, the seat of the door is blocked by a pile of heavy bookcases, standing cabinets, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi two people stepped forward to try, and they were blocked tightly, one pressed the other, and they couldn't even move a gap.
"No, this-get-no-move-ah~"
Xiao Jinzi, whose face was red from exertion, used all the strength to breastfeed, but it was useless and he couldn't lift it.
"Forget it"
Ma Tao also gave up, looked at the blocked door and shook his head.
"Who the hell piled up the cupboards here!"
Xiao Jinzi gasped, quickly took out some water from his bag, drank two large sips, and then handed it to Ma Tao.
"It's not like it's just a random place..."
Ma Tao didn't drink the water after taking it, he wasn't thirsty, so he handed it to Sister Han, Sister Han asked politely, and took a few sips.
People in this world don't pay so much attention to men and women, it's normal to drink a bowl of water and eat a bowl of rice together, some eating and drinking are good, who cares so much, and it is not unchaste to be able to keep the final bottom line.
"You found out too?"
After Sister Han drank the water, she directly returned it to Xiao Jinzi, and then said, "These cabinets were crushed to death one by one from the inside, the purpose is to prevent them from entering."
"I said sister, you have already found out why you didn't tell me, I have been a coolie for so long, and I am very tired."
Xiao Jinzi put on a bitter gourd face and took the water.
"That's right, from the outside, don't even think about moving these cabinets"
Ma Tao touched his chin and nodded, agreeing with Sister Han's statement.
"Is the guy who blocked us out sick, so hard, watch me blow him up with a grenade"
As he spoke, Xiao Jinzi really took out a grenade and was about to pull the safety open.
"Wait a minute, the people blocking this place are not to block us, after all, they don't know that we are coming, and these cabinets have been blocked here for a long time, and the dust has fallen so much, I think, they should be blocking this place to defend against something terrible, otherwise, there is no need to go to such great lengths to deal with this"
Sister Han gave the most reasonable explanation.
"Makes sense"
Ma Tao agrees.
"Go ahead, the answer should be upstairs, after all, the people inside always have to find a way out"
That's it on this floor, in nothing, Sister Han looked at the two and said.
As soon as I walked halfway up the stairs on the fifth floor, the first thing I smelled in my nose was a rotten stench, which was simply stinky.
"What does it smell like?"
Xiao Jinzi covered his nose and asked with a frown.
"It's human"
Sister Han was already on guard when she first smelled this stench, and Ma Tao was even more so.
"Why does anyone stink so much?"
Little Gold looked at her in surprise.
"Dead people, people who have been dead for a long time"
Sister Han stared at the staircase on the fifth floor, clicked the bolt of the gun, and approached little by little in a standard gun-holding posture.
"Dead ......"
Xiao Jinzi suddenly remembered, isn't it, when a few of them were looking for a jeep in an abandoned factory by the sea, didn't they smell this kind of smell on the top floor, this smell of familiarity suddenly became familiar, and then a terrifying monster name that will never be forgotten appeared in Xiao Jinzi's mind for the first time.
"Battle...... War Dogs ......"
Thinking of this term, Xiao Jinzi's lips were still a little trembling.
"You've got it in mind."
Ma Tao patted him lightly on the shoulder, changed seats with him, stepped forward side by side with Sister Han, and slowly approached the fifth floor.
I've smelled this stench several times, and no good thing has happened every time anyway, and this immunity is still there.
Finally, stepping on the last staircase leading to the fifth floor, Ma Tao secretly took a quick look at the door, and then shrank back.
The corridor on the fifth floor was empty, there was nothing, but the doors of both rooms were open, and it was pitch black, and I didn't know what was inside, but the stench of choking was a little stronger.
Ma Tao and Sister Han glanced at each other, the two separated left and right, raised their guns and went to the fifth floor at the same time, and the muzzles of the guns were aimed at the doors of the two rooms for the first time.
The little gold in the back gritted his teeth, served the fear in his heart, and was even more reluctant to let others look down on him, especially in front of Ma Tao, pulled out his rifle, loaded the bullet, and rushed to the fifth floor.
Ma Tao and Sister Han glanced back at him, and when they saw that his eyes were firm and clear, they knew that he had become a warrior again, and they all smiled in unison.
"Sister Han is on guard, the gold follows me, one by one"
Ma Tao stretched out his hand and whispered everyone's instructions, and the two nodded to indicate that they understood.
So, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi cautiously approached the first door, while Sister Han stared intently at the other door in case something rushed out.
Ma Tao took a deep breath and stretched out three fingers.
Three
Two
One
When Ma Tao withdrew his last finger, the two rushed into the house at the same time.
There was a false alarm, and the room was full of lecture tables, chairs and benches, neatly arranged, as if waiting for the people here to come back to listen to the lecture.
"Security"
The two people who exited this room glanced at Sister Han, and then slowly approached the next room.
Before we could reach the door, the strong smell of rotting corpses was so strong that it was disgusting, and it was clear that this room was the source of the problematic stench.
Sister Han also followed, adjusted her breathing, the three of them looked at Ma Tao's fingers, and as soon as the third finger ended, they rushed in directly.
Sure enough, in addition to the two wooden boxes that had been opened, there were many dry bones on the ground, stumps and broken arms, and they were thrown everywhere, and flies flew all over the head of the skeletal white bones, maggots were everywhere, and there were blood stains that had turned black and brown everywhere on the walls and the ground.
"It's disgusting..."
Xiao Jinzi looked at the ground where there was nowhere to stay, and complained, on the other hand, Sister Han didn't care about this, she should walk, she should step on it, for her, this scene is obviously used to it.
"There!"
At first glance, Sister Han found that there was a secret door in this room that could lead to the next floor, it was a manhole cover-like place, there was a handle outside, and it had been rubbed against the bright tile, obviously there was a lot of frequent entry and exit, even if there was no handle, there was one more manhole cover in this house, isn't it very suspicious, monsters have no IQ, and they will leave if they don't find anyone, so they won't bother to run there, otherwise, the world would have been ruled by Noah's monster army.
This manhole cover was easily opened by Sister Han, and it was not locked, and there was light, and you could see from above that there were obvious traces of human life below, domestic garbage was everywhere, and even a corner of the carpet could be seen.
"Wait, I'll go first"
Seeing that Sister Han was about to go down after opening the manhole covers, Ma Tao stretched out his hand to stop her.
"What, you're not worried about me? Afraid I'm in danger? ”
Sister Han glanced at the arm that was held by Ma Tao, then stared at his eyes for two seconds, and then showed a bewitching smile, and took Ma Tao's hand holding her arm with her other hand.
"Holy! This crazy woman! ”
Ma Tao bit his lip and cursed, and then heard a loud shout from Sister Han below.
"Who are you! Yes!! ”
Bang bang!!
The gunshot rang out, and the hearts of the two men above trembled at the same time, and Ma Tao at the wellhead did not hesitate anymore, and jumped down with a bang, followed by Xiaojinzi.
After jumping down and getting used to the dim light here, Ma Tao saw the heroic Sister Han wearing her knee-length boots, one long leg was trampling a man under her feet, and bent over with a semi-automatic rifle in one hand and put the muzzle directly on the guy's head, and Ma Tao who had just come down was stunned.
"Her Majesty ......"
There is also Xiao Jinzi who is also stunned, but this kid's words are really appropriate, give Sister Han a leather whip, isn't that a typical Her Majesty.
"Spare my life, I really don't know where that guy lives, I really don't know...... I don't know ......."
The person who was stepped on by Sister Han's one leg trembled, and this posture hurt to death, but this person didn't seem to have any pain, and he didn't know how to cry out for pain.
"What's going on?"
Ma Tao took out a small flashlight from his bag and took a picture of that person, good guy, unkempt, messy hair I am afraid that it has not been washed for two years, and his clothes are also tattered, and the whole person is thin and has only a pair of skin and bones, and his eyes are scattered and he looks delirious.
"I don't know, as soon as I come in, this man will attack me"
Sister Han also saw his appearance clearly, knowing that she had met a madman, and with this physique, it was easy to break up with a punch, even if there were two more of them, it was impossible to pose a threat to herself, so she let go of her legs and let him go.
The man was released, and when he got up, he crawled into the corner, muttering something he didn't know what he was talking about.
"What to do? Looks like you're crazy? ”
Little Gold asked.
"It's okay to be crazy, because the thing that a crazy person can remember the most in his life is how to go crazy."
Ma Tao replied with a slight smile.
"Okay? I can't see the psychology you still understand, so tell me how to get a madman to tell you a story."
Sister Han looked around and found that there was no place to rest in this house, everything was dirty, and the smell of human excrement mixed with the smell of corpses on it, not to mention destroying the sense of smell, the air was extremely uncomfortable.
"yes, that's a problem"
How to get a madman to tell a story, unless you are also crazy with him, but if you can't go crazy together, then everything is in vain, Ma Tao began to pace in place, thinking about this thorny problem.
"There's actually a refrigerator here, let me see if there's a god horse in it?"
As if a new continent had been discovered, Little Gold opened the lid of the refrigerator.
"Uhhh
Not only is it empty, it's even been demolished, it's just an empty shell.
"That's right! Refrigerator! Food! ”
That's right, what could attract his attention more than letting a hungry guy see what to eat, Ma Tao, who was stunned, quickly took out a piece of dry food from his bag.
"Hey! Hey! Look here! Look at this! ”
Ma Tao shook a piece of dry food in his hand, and soon, the instinctive desire for food made this person gather his eyes.
"Do you want to eat? Tell me, what do you see? Tell me and you'll be able to eat, tell me..."
Ma Tao is like a kidnapper-deception-trafficker, inducing little by little.
In the end, this madman's eyes only had the piece of dry food in Ma Tao's hand, and his ears listened to Ma Tao's seductive voice.
"They... They... It's all crazy... Crazy, murderous... Bugger... They all turned into bugs...... A lot of bugs, a lot of bugs."
The madman took the bait.
"What else?"
Ma Tao's information about him was general and useful, but it was not enough.
"They're all dead... Key... He's dead... Key... No... Don't kill me...... Nope."
The madman blinked, as if he remembered something particularly horrible, and clutched his head in pain, shaking it desperately.
"Keys! Where is it? Tell me you're ready to eat! ”
Ma Tao knew that this madman was about to collapse, but he was unwilling, but it was too late, the madman's subconscious didn't want to recall this past at all, and his brain couldn't even go beyond the nature of eating out of self-protection, and this most important information was not said.
"It's coming!! Here it comes!! Here they are!! ”
Suddenly, the madman was in good spirits, and quickly found a corner to hide, his eyes widened, and he looked around in horror, but he did not dare to make a sound.
"What's coming?"
Ma Tao was puzzled, but Xiao Jinzi thought about it slightly, then closed his eyes and listened carefully, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"Not good! Fast! Close the entrance! ”
Almost as soon as Xiao Jinzi's words fell, Sister Han, who was originally standing behind, kicked suddenly, stepped on the corner of the bed on the side, jumped up in two steps, stretched out her hand, and directly closed the entrance with the power of her body falling, and then .........
Goo Goo .........
Goo Goo .........
A strange sound sounded again, and it sounded like it was coming this way.
Xiao Jinzi was still listening to the movement, but he suddenly turned around and looked at the madman who was curled up in the corner with some shock.
"What's wrong?"
Ma Tao saw Xiao Jinzi staring at the madman, it should be that he found something and asked.
"This man used to be a mechanic, and he was very good, no wonder he was the only one who survived until now!!"
