Chapter 39: Recapture (I)
On the other side of the silver-gray elevator door is a world full of despair and sorrow, and we are like living in a pure land on earth. By pressing the floor number on the elevator button board, we can go back to where the anomaly began, to the real world that belongs to us. Three people when they came, and two people when they went. Although one of them is an impostor, there is indeed a Xie Changge who is one step ahead here. He stayed in the world over there for us, and for us, he was captured by black monsters in gas masks.
"Lie, what is Xie Changge's brother. Will my brother kill my brother?"
I don't understand what brotherhood is. People like us who are not related by blood claim to be brothers, while real brothers hate each other. Aren't all brothers in the world loving each other? Yes, even my parents will dislike me, let alone my own brothers.
"Yi Jia and ......," Chen Yaofei whispered.
I knew that Chen Yaofei was about to ask me if I wanted to go back. Staying in the elevator, the elevator doors did not open, as if the elevator was also waiting for my reply.
"I don't understand...... I don't know if I want to go back...... "I can't cry."
"I promised Xie Changge to protect you, so if you can't make a decision, I'll help you make a decision. Chen Yaofei's tone changed. His tone was no longer soft, as if overnight he had suddenly grown from a teenager to a mature young man.
Chen Yaofei pressed the button on the fourteenth floor, and that was the starting point for us to enter this terrible world.
The elevator went up, and I was still struggling. As long as no one presses the elevator button, the elevator will reach the fourteenth floor in a few seconds, and we will be able to return to the real world. What about Xie Changge, what will be his fate? Xie Changge will become an experimental object for the gas mask man, and a toy that the gas mask man will wantonly transform like Wang Liang. No one was going to save him, Xie Changge knew this, but he still stayed, just to buy us time to escape.
In an instant, Xie Changge's face appeared in my mind. Why is Xie Changge in my impression expressionless, why is he always gloomy when I face him, as if I owe him a debt. I do owe him a debt, not a debt of life, but a debt of love. When I think about it, I feel so ridiculous myself.
"The elevator goes to the fourteenth floor right away. "Chen Yaofei is reminding me.
When the elevator arrived, the "ding" sound was not sounded, and I pressed the close button. There was a "ding" sound, and the elevator door opened a crack, and then closed tightly.
Chen Yaofei didn't speak, just stood behind me and guarded me.
"Yaofei, I'm sorry. ”
"Why apologize?" Chen Yaofei's tone was really like an adult.
"I still, I don't want to give up on him. Therefore, I'm afraid I'm going to drag you into the water. "Once Chen Yaofei and I return to the real world together, we may never be able to return to the Walking Dead Hall.
Chen Yaofei was silent. I turned to look at him, and he was grinning happily as if he had eaten a very delicious piece of candy.
"If you want to go back to save Xie Changge, I will go with you. Because, I promised Xie Changge to protect you. The teenager in front of him was scarred, and drops of blood flowed from his wounds and fell into the elevator.
"I'm sorry......," I said to him.
"You should say thank you. Chen Yaofei pointed to the elevator button board.
Then we will return to that desperate and sad world. Maybe we won't ever get a chance to come back this time. A one-way ticket, we've decided to buy it or not. Pressing the digital button on the second basement floor, we waited for the elevator to descend into the corpse area.
"Ding-", the elevator door opens. Chen Yaofei and I tensed our nerves and prepared for the battle.
"How ......"
The bright passage was empty.
Walking in the bright passage, Chen Yaofei covered his wound and asked me, "Yi Jiahe, do you have a plan?"
"Plan, what plan?"
Chen Yaofei smiled bitterly and said, "We don't even know where Xie Changge was arrested, how can we save him?"
"Oops...... didn't think of this question.
"If the monster catches Xie Changge into a floor above the twentieth floor - Xie Changge said that the floor above the twentieth floor is a dark area. In the dark area, the Black-Eyed Zombie is quite agile. In the dark, we're up against two black-eyed zombies. Since it was an almost completely dark area, it was not surprising that there were many black-eyed zombies there. In this way, we will definitely go and never return. When the time comes, don't say it's to save Xie Changge, we'll get in it ourselves. Chen Yaofei is right.
"But, there's no other way for us than to break in. You and I may be the only ones alive in the entire ward, so who else can we turn to for help?"
Chen Yaofei raised his head and thought: "With the power of human beings, you can't fight against monsters and many zombies......"
"So what?"
Chen Yaofei lowered his head and said, "If we want to rescue Xie Changge from the monster, we must get a powerful force......
"What do you mean, powerful equipment?"
Chen Yaofei shook his head and said, "Elixir." ”
"Medicine...... agent?"
"The kind of new medicine mentioned in Du Ming's handbook can bring the dead back to life. Although Du Ming's handbook also mentions that Wang Liang, who was injected with the medicine, died twenty-four hours later. And what about within 24 hours? Du Ming did not say what kind of side effects this medicine would give people in 24 hours. What is certain is that Wang Liang gained abnormal resilience during this time. ”
"Don't be stupid," I was very worried about Chen Yaofei's thoughts, "Du Ming injected Zhang Jian with medicine, but Zhang Jian didn't come back from the dead." ”
"Potions are our hope against the monsters of the pitch. If we can find the potion, we will be able to gain greater power than we can, even if it comes at the cost of death, at least we can fight the monsters. "Sometimes I'm really afraid of Chen Yaofei's flash of inspiration, because his flash of inspiration often makes me unable to dismiss.
A ridiculous plan is far more moving than no plan at all. Walking to the end of the passage and taking the elevator, Chen Yaofei and I discussed where to get the potion.
"Du Ming's notes do not explicitly mention where the secret base where Du Ming is hiding. According to the clues in Du Ming's handbook, we can speculate that the secret base is around the twentieth floor. However, we have not found a single operating room on the 20th floor. It can be speculated that the room settings were modified due to changes in the ward. "Chen Yaofei, who has a leap in IQ, is really shocking.
"So, how are we going to find the potion?"
"Let's search layer by layer. Chen Yaofei suddenly said such a mindless sentence that shocked me and almost fainted.
Press the elevator button to the first floor, but the elevator does not respond.
"What's wrong?" I pressed a few more times, but the elevator still didn't respond.
"Yi Jiahe, get ready," Chen Yaofei said calmly, "The pitch-black monster can manipulate the changes in the ward, and it is also possible to make the elevator abnormal. ”
"So, aren't we finished?" "I'm afraid I'll be claustrophobic in the future."
Waiting for the elevator to rise quickly after an earthquake - "ding", the elevator door opens. It was dark in front of the door, and if there was no elevator light, you couldn't see your fingers.
"Twenty-fifth floor?" "The twenty-fifth floor is the highest floor of this ward.
"Cut, the elevator door won't close. Do you have a flashlight in your bag?"
"Yes. I took out the flashlight in my bag, got up and took two steps forward, and looked outside.
"Yi Jiahe!" Chen Yaofei shouted, and I immediately turned to look at him - Chen Yaofei was gone. Not only Chen Yaofei, but the elevator with bright lights is also gone. But as soon as I turned around, I was plunged into endless darkness.
"Ha, ha, ha......" There was a wheezing sound all around, and I used my flashlight to look everywhere for the source of the sound. A shadow flickered, and the flashlight was knocked to the ground. After a few flashes, the light of the flashlight disappeared.
This is the real complete darkness.
"Ha, ha, ha......" The unpleasant smell came from all directions.
It became more and more difficult to breathe, my chest became more and more dull, and my back was cold, and I groped in the dark for tools to defend myself.
"Don't, don't ......" I crouched down in fear and could only fight powerlessly with a trembling voice.
A foul smell with a rancid smell came to my nose, and the wheezing sound of "ha" was close to my ears. I could feel something touch my cheek. It was the hands of the monsters, crumpled hands that might have rotted out of shape.
It's scary, it's scary. It's not a dream, it's reality. Since it's reality-
"I said, big brother black-eyed zombie, it's time to brush your teeth. ”
The excitement that struck my whole body hit me, and I grabbed the head of the monster in the darkness and slammed it to the ground.
"Whew, it's disgusting, slimy. ”
The monster's hand gripped me, but it didn't dig its sharp nails into my flesh.
"What do you mean, mercy, thank you, big brother, but I won't show mercy. ”
Breaking free of the monster's hands, I tried to restrain the monster with the wrestlers on TV. The monster is so powerful that it breaks free and I jumps away.
"It's so powerful, it didn't kill me on the spot. Are you underestimating me, uncle, or are you following the instructions of the gas mask man and playing with me?"
The rancid smell and the exhalation of "ha" are getting farther and farther away.
"Boom", a strange voice came from the darkness.
"Bang", the lights turned on, and I was in an operating room. The light was dim, and I could see a cabinet with medicine bottles in the small operating room, a table next to a skeleton, and a corpse lying on the operating table that had turned into bones but held the object in its hand as if it were the living.
When I went to the operating table to remove the contents from the corpse's hands, I found that half of the medicine was still in the bottle. This is the powerful force in Chen Yaofei's plan.
Looking around, I found a used syringe by the table. Picking up the syringe, I pulled a little bit out of the potion and squirted a little like a doctor to get the air out of the syringe. Next, I put the needle in my arm and slowly ......
"I lost ......" syringe and vial were thrown to the ground by me, and I was crushed to pieces.
Although there was no dust on my hands, I clapped my hands as usual and took a deep breath.
"Hey," I shouted to the mastermind, "you're too clumsy. Not to mention the two people who turned into corpses, this bottle with half of the potion left behind will definitely make people suspicious. ”
Clapping, I was expecting it.
"When did you find out?" asked the gas mask man.
"When I saw the syringe. ”
"Yes, it's because there's a problem with the syringe...... the gas mask man said to me after a moment's thought, "I thought you had spotted something unusual based on the description in Du Ming's notes." ”
"There's something strange about you. I struggled to recall the record in Du Ming's notebook and nodded.
"Didn't you realize the anomaly because you found a corpse that was supposed to be non-decomposing but turned into bones, and the bottle that should have no potion left became a bottle with half of the potion left?"
Oh, I see.
"That's right. I nodded.
Feeling the suspicious gaze of the gas mask man, I had no choice but to answer truthfully: "I think about the same as you." According to Du Ming's notes, Du Ming ate Zhang Jian in the end, so there should only be a skeleton here. And the vials, well, who's going to use the half-half bottles? But the most important thing is the syringes. I said you, wearing a white coat, you aspire to be a doctor, how can you give me second-hand goods?"
"What?"
I complained to the gas mask man, "You don't know that unsterilized syringes can carry viruses and infect users with such syringes? ”
After I finished speaking, the gas mask man was silent.
"That, Du Ming's handwriting, you remembered it wrong. Also, Zhang Guofu only brought three medicine bottles from the pharmaceutical factory, one was given to Wang Liang, one was used for research, and one was taken by Du Ming. Moreover, you are not already ...... Ahem, his focus turned out to be on syringes......"
Hey, that's what happened.
"No matter. I said that you are pretending to be Xie Changge, I ask you, you ...... Xie Changge"
"The second basement floor of Building 3. ”
I was dumbfounded.
"Don't look at me with such a surprised expression. I didn't deliberately conceal Xie Changge's intentions in the first place. And, I wish you could come to my studio and let me do a body makeover. ”
"I ask you, why am I so important to you?" I said, and I felt a sense of shame.
"It's almost time, and the ward's own changes are about to begin. Bye-bye, interesting lad. I'll be waiting for you on the second basement floor of Building 3. ”
Darkness descends and disappears. I stood in the elevator and saw Chen Yaofei staring at me dumbfounded.
"Yi Jia and ......" Chen Yaofei pounced and hugged me.
I began to tell Chen Yaofei about my experience: "After the elevator disappeared, I encountered a black-eyed zombie. Then, the lights came on, and I went to an operating room. I saw the potion, but I could see something unusual around me at a glance. It appeared after I saw through the ruse of the gas mask man. It told me that the potion was gone, and that Xie Changge was on the second basement floor of Building 3. ”
Chen Yaofei lowered his head and pondered: "Let's not say whether what the monster said is true or not, as far as we know, we can't reach the second underground floor of Building 3 through normal channels." "As Chen Yaofei said, we have explored the second basement floor of Building 3 before, but we have not been able to find a way to the second basement floor of Building 3.
"But at that time, we were exploring in table space. Now that we're in the inner space, and the ward is changing all the time, maybe there's a passage to the second basement floor of Building 3?"
"Indeed," Chen Yaofei squatted down to sort out the contents of his bag, "Assuming that the monster didn't lie to us, we wouldn't be able to rely on potions to fight the monster." There were very few tools left in the bag, except for the baton I carried with me, the tools we could use to protect against zombies were: a lighter, a wooden stick, and a sharp blade...... Why is there only so much?"
"It can't be helped. There are many crises, and if you throw away the tools and take them again, there will always be fewer and fewer of them. "When you think about it, it seems like I've wasted a lot of things.
Seeing me with my head down, Chen Yaofei thought I was worried about the lack of tools, and said to me with a smile: "Yi Jiahe, don't worry, I will protect you." ”
Chen Yaofei, who often giggles and occasionally touches the back of his head, grew up in a desperate situation. In my eyes, he is very reliable today. It's me, a twenty-eight-year-old adult...... Alas, I'm so useless.
Originally, we planned to go to the third floor and take the connecting passage to Building 3 using the principle of proximity, but the passage of the ward on the third floor of Building 4 was blocked by rotting corpses. The elevator went up to the fourth floor of Building 4, and as soon as the elevator door opened, a white-eyed zombie pounced on us, scaring me to death. Fortunately, Chen Yaofei was ready to use a lighter to force off the white-eyed zombies. However, due to the problem of standing, we had to get out of the elevator and trap the white-eyed zombie in the elevator, and this elevator was useless. Unfortunately, the door connecting the fourth floor of Building 4 and the fourth floor of Building 3 was not closed, so we headed to Building 3.
Just like the game level setting, we were halfway through the connection passage when a red-eyed zombie popped out to block our path. So, holding our breath and walking, we easily crossed the connecting passage to reach Building 3.
"The battle against the dark monsters is sure to be a tough one. With its bizarre teleportation, mysterious spatial changes, and the ability to control and transform zombies, it is undoubtedly the most powerful and terrifying existence of all the enemies we have ever faced. Chen Yaofei said solemnly.
When we came to the elevator in Building 3, we pressed the elevator button. The elevator arrives and there are no monsters inside. Chen Yaofei entered the elevator and let me in after confirming that there was indeed a button to the second basement floor.
"Yi Jiahe is worthy of Yi Jiahe, and he guessed it. "Chen Yaofei is praising me.
"Oh, really?"
Pressing the button on the second basement floor, we waited for the elevator to go down.
Suddenly, the elevator flickered, and the lights in the elevator went out.
"It's a dark monster!" I shouted.
"Yi Jiahe, stay by my side and stay vigilant!" Chen Yaofei shouted.
"Knock knock...... Dear Patients...... Boom Boom ...... Ladies and gentlemen, new ...... Boom Boom ...... On the last day, it's time to begin!"
Without music, darkness descends.
"Space conversion?" Chen Yaofei muttered to himself.
"No, at this time...... "If we convert the space to the surface space, we won't be able to save Xie Changge in the inner space." The space shifted again, this time it seemed like two hours. After two hours, Xie Changge's head was made into a modified corpse by the gas mask man in a different place, and it was too late, and he was still talking about how to save him.
"No, no!" I shouted upwards.
