Chapter 952: 'Target'
After observing a few glances, Lin Cheng retracted his gaze and raised his steps to continue walking upstairs.
But before he could move, the third door to his left was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and then the sound of two men talking came from inside the house!
"I warned you a long time ago that you must wait for Andreev to be present when you shoot, but now it's okay, not only was the 'target' seriously injured by you fool, but even I had to go up with you to be punished, it's just too unlucky!"
"But I'm so bored! The search for supplies was already a fat mess, but the boss always sent Andreev and them out on missions, as if he had forgotten about us! I guess Andreev's guys have swallowed a lot of supplies by now, maybe they're enjoying cigarettes and wine somewhere, and we're only wasting time with a few 'targets' in this place, which is so unfair! ”
"Shut up! Have you forgotten where this is?! ”
"Humph......"
Hiding in the corner of the stairwell and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two Erosians, Lin Cheng frowned, and finally understood what the gunshot was all about.
Although some words were not very clear, Lin Cheng still deduced some clues from the conversation between the two people, this old residential building should be the base of a group of survivors, and there is a clear hierarchy in this base, the leader should be the 'boss' in their mouth, and that Andreev should be the red man next to the boss, as for these two guys......
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little funny, the gun should have been fired by the guy who had been complaining, judging from the conversation between the two, this guy should have been snubbed by the boss because of his lack of ability, and he felt that he had been too embarrassed and bored to stay here and wanted to shoot to practice marksmanship, but he didn't expect it to be too loud because of the sound caused by the shooting, and at the same time, because the marksmanship was too bad or for some other reason, the 'target' was injured, so he was summoned by the boss to prepare to be criticized.
As for this so-called 'target', Lin Cheng knew in his heart that this should be a living person, although using a living person as a target to practice marksmanship sounds very cruel, but it is not uncommon in the chaotic apocalypse, and it is not the first time he has seen it, so there are not too many fluctuations in his heart.
"You know what to do in a minute, right? Honestly bow your head and admit your mistakes, and then take the initiative to ask to go out and search for new targets, so that you can get the boss's forgiveness and go outside at the same time, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, understand? ”
Just as Lin Cheng was thinking about his next plan, the two Eros people who had come out of the house and were about to go upstairs for training had already walked out of the house, and they were about to come to the staircase!
Hearing as if it was a conversation ringing in his ears, Lin Cheng's heart moved, and his figure quickly dodged into the stairwell on the fifth floor.
"Stepping on ......"
Pricked up his ears and listened to the footsteps from the stairs above his head, feeling that it was almost over, Lin Cheng returned to the sixth floor again, checked left and right to make sure that no one noticed him, and then dived to the seventh floor after looking for the footsteps of the two people!
After unconsciously touching the seventh floor, Lin Cheng did not rush out of the stairwell, but poked out half of his head to observe the situation in the corridor on the left, and saw that the two strong men were standing in front of an anti-theft door at the end of the corridor at this time, waiting to open the door, so they also waited patiently.
But just when the security door at the end of the corridor was finally pushed open from the inside, Lin Cheng's ears suddenly moved, and he faintly heard that the door on the first floor seemed to have been pushed open by someone!
"Pedal ......!"
Listening to the footsteps coming upstairs quickly, Lin Cheng suddenly felt that his current position was extremely embarrassing, the two strong men were talking to a woman who opened the door at this time, and the footsteps downstairs were getting closer and closer, Lin Cheng couldn't calculate that the two sides would meet in ten seconds!
Frowning and thinking about countermeasures, just when Lin Cheng's expression must have been ready to take the first move to stop the people downstairs in advance, the two strong men at the door at the end of the corridor were finally let in by the Eros woman, and at the same time closed the security door.
Observing this information, Lin Cheng's heart suddenly relaxed, and at the same time, his figure quickly flashed into the corridor, opened the door closest to him and hid in!
"Step!"
At the moment when he closed the door, the people under the corridor also went up to the seventh floor at the same time, did not stay in place, and the owner of the footsteps hurriedly walked towards the security door at the end of the corridor.
Listening to the footsteps gradually moving away from the staircase and finally disappearing at the end of the corridor, Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to open the crack in the door to investigate the situation outside, but suddenly felt that something was staring at him behind him!
Feeling the abnormality behind him, Lin Cheng slowly turned back, stretched out his right hand on the hilt of the sword on his left shoulder, and conjured up an ice dart with his left hand, ready to take action as soon as he perceived any signs of danger, and control the situation in his own hands as soon as possible!
But when he turned around and saw the appearance of the person behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This is a girl who looks to be only seven or eight years old, with blonde hair, blue eyes, long eyelashes, bright and clear eyes, and the whole person looks as cute as a beautiful porcelain doll.
It's just that, perhaps because of long-term malnutrition, the girl's cheeks seem slightly thin, and she seems to be startled by the sudden visit of Lin Cheng, an uninvited guest, the girl just sat on the sofa in the living room at this time, looking at his face, and the whole person did not make any sound from beginning to end as if she had been immobilized, and her body did not make any movements.
After discovering that it was just an ordinary little girl who was staring at him, Lin Cheng slightly lowered some of his guard, released his hand from the hilt of the Soul Breaking Sword, and while observing the situation of this little girl, he casually pulled over a stool and sat down.
Although he really wanted to leave this room immediately and go to the room at the end of the corridor to continue to investigate the information, but Lin Cheng did not dare to leave directly at this time, this little girl was like a time bomb at this time, he had to stabilize it as much as possible, otherwise if the little guy suddenly yelled as soon as he opened the door, his plan to sneak in here would be completely ruined!
It would be a good choice to kill this little guy directly, but although Lin Cheng was not a good person, there were not a thousand but eight hundred unlucky people who died in his hands, but this little girl did not pose any threat to him and did not add any qualitative trouble to him, no matter how mad he was, he couldn't do it.
