Volume II, Mirror Boundary 245, Strange Creatures
Li Hao tried his best to be tough with the bloody big cat, but unexpectedly, as soon as the big cat jumped, a cloud of blood mist erupted on his head.
This kind of scene, Li Hao has seen it in those movies that specialize in showing sniper skills, and he always thought that it was just a gimmick of the movie, but he didn't expect it to appear in front of him alive.
However, before Li Hao could express his gratitude to the sniper who didn't know where to hide, he found that the big cat was not dead, the bullet cut off half of its head, and it was not dead yet! It got up from the ground again, ready to pounce on Li Hao again, but it lost its head for half a year, and had serious problems with its vision and balance, and yelled at Li Hao twice, crookedly unable to find the direction.
Then a mist of blood erupted from the big cat's head again, and this time, the bullet shattered the remaining half of its head, and the big cat fell to the ground and could not get up again.
Li Hao only then looked in the direction of the bullet according to the shape of the moment when the blood mist sprayed on the big cat's head, he now has excellent eyesight, and can naturally see a few snipers in military uniforms on the tall buildings hundreds of meters away, but Mulberry and several of them are wearing helmets and protective masks, Li Hao vaguely feels that Mulberry's figure is a little familiar, and he can't be sure who it is for a while, he can only wave his hand in that direction to express his gratitude, and then turn around and jump into the foyer of the mall.
It's not quiet in the mall.
With so many cars stuck in front of the door, it was clear that at the beginning of the disaster, there were many people rushing here, and the mess, wreckage, and dried blood everywhere were silently telling the chaos and madness of the time. In addition, there are also a lot of zombies wandering inside, all of whom were chasing people who escaped into the mall at that time, or the survivors at that time were later infected, because the gate was blocked by various vehicles, and then the door was closed, and they couldn't get out and stayed in the mall.
However, these zombies don't need Li Hao to make a move, Hei Zeming, who went to explore the way, cooperated with Longqi to deal with this kind of ordinary zombies, and their combat effectiveness was not weak. In other words, they are already very strong among ordinary survivors, but compared with Li Hao, who is not afraid of infection and has made breakthroughs in all aspects of physical functions, they are not so powerful.
By the time Li Hao, Laixi, and Zhao Ji finished cleaning up the mutated creatures that were following outside, Hei Zeming and Long Qi also dealt with the zombies in the mall.
After Li Hao came in, Hei Zeming blocked the door of the shopping mall that they had smashed open before, and there was a knocking sound outside, I don't know if it was the mutant cow who was taking those cars outside to vent his anger, but in order to avoid angering the old man again, Li Hao and they quickly passed through the first floor of the mall, and ran to the second floor from the relatively hidden security passage inside.
The door to the second floor was also blocked from the inside, but this door was only a tempered glass door, which had been smashed, and the door frame revealed various obstacles used to block the door, and there was a corner in which to climb in. Naturally, they don't push those things away, they all climb into that corner.
Probably because they walked away, the breath movement was not so obvious, and the mutant cow outside lost its target, and its movements eased a lot.
For a while, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The second floor of the mall is also a mess, but since the second floor is a women's clothing and cosmetics section, these things are not as attractive to survivors who want to live, so the damage is not as severe as that on the first floor. There were also a few zombies who smelled their scent and rushed over, and they were all solved by Long Qi with his bayonet, and one person solved it.
"So zombies aren't much of a threat now, are they?" Zhao Ji watched Longqi deal with the last zombie, and said very relaxedly.
It was almost dusk, the second floor of the mall was well lit, and the large sunset shone in, and the quiet mall was like another world.
"You're wrong," Li Hao walked to the front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the mall, looked at the zombies that could still be seen everywhere outside, and said: "It's not that the zombies are not a threat now, but when facing a small number of zombies, the survivors can deal with it more or less." Don't forget that just now, weren't we chased like lost dogs? ”
"I don't care." Zhao Ji stretched his body, exhaled a long breath, and said, "It's because it's not easy to live that I need to be optimistic." Come on......"
Lai Xi smiled slightly, she already knew what this guy was thinking from Zhao Ji's eyes. However, she also had this intention, so as soon as Zhao Ji proposed, she responded to Zhao Ji's call very undisciplinedly, and the two of them ran to the rows of women's clothes.
"Interesting?" Li Hao was also quite speechless. Although the women's clothing in this mall looked very good at first glance, and there were a few big brands that he had probably heard of, he honestly didn't believe that they would wear those fashions like that, especially the shiny heels.
So why are you so excited when you know it's useless?
Hei Zeming was very open-minded, and said: "This is their proof of their own life, women are creatures, is it interesting for you to ask is the most boring question." ”
Li Hao cut off and said, "It's like how well you know women." ”
Hei Zeming shrugged his shoulders and said disapprehantly: "I don't know much, but I have had a girlfriend who is a star before, and a girlfriend who is an executive, uh, I have an ex-girlfriend who is a college teacher, and the last girlfriend is just a very ordinary college student, but no matter what their identity is, their innate preferences for these things are highly consistent." It's a woman's nature to love beauty, and you can't erase it. ”
Li Hao said speechlessly: "Beast! Even college students don't let go, you're a barrister enough to be a beast...... "In fact, his subtext is that you are showing off that you have had a lot of girlfriends, isn't it amazing? Lao Tzu has never talked about love like this, and he can't find it with a lantern, okay?
Long Qi didn't talk nonsense with them, and he was not interested in paying attention to which counter the two girls were going to at this time, he walked around silently, and then walked up to the third floor from the stalled escalator.
Hei Zeming didn't continue the previous topic, but walked to the window, watched the sunset outside sink little by little, turned his head and asked, "Have you thought about it?" What's next? ”
Li Hao is also observing the outside environment, as the sunset sinks, the city that has no power supply will soon darken, especially the shopping mall where they are, in the shadow of the surrounding high-rise buildings, has directly transitioned from dusk to night, but they can still look up and see the last sunlight from the gap in the high-rise buildings weakly dragging their tails a little.
Regarding Hei Zeming's question, Li Hao replied without thinking about it: "Isn't it already said?" What else is there to think about? "Wasn't this issue discussed when we were in the underground passage of the Vault before? He didn't understand why Hei Zeming asked this question again at this time.
Hei Zeming looked at Li Hao and didn't say anything for a while, the reason why he asked this question when he was alone with Li Hao was because he felt that Li Hao's previous promise to Zhao Ji and Laixi to be test subjects was just to deal with two girls who were both a little idealistic. In his experience, it is a kind of grace and ethics for a man to agree to a woman's request, but a promise is a promise, and a man in particular must know how to grasp the direction in the face of an overly idealistic woman. But looking at Li Hao's appearance, he really agreed.
"How?" Li Hao asked Hei Zeming rhetorically: "Do you have other suggestions?" ”
"Nope." Hei Zeming looked indifferent, since you are willing to be a guinea pig, of course I don't care. Strictly speaking, the more people like Hei Zeming are in a crowded place, the more market there is, isn't it?
Li Hao actually doesn't want to dwell on it anymore. Saving humanity and taking care of himself is something that involves great rights and wrongs, and he has never wanted to think about it. Since Zhao Ji and Lai Xi like to be teachers so much, they should do what the two teachers ask. He didn't think about what Hei Zeming would think of him, he just stood by the window and looked upstairs again where he found the sniper.
Of course, it was not surprising that he found that the sniper who had just saved his life was no longer on the roof. This is a normal thing, once a sniper shoots, he will move quickly to avoid detection, in this silent city, there are not only zombies and mutated creatures.
It's just that the troops evacuated from the 17th Vault seem to have been walking for a while, and there is no more motor sound in the sky.
It was completely dark, and several people gathered around the floor-to-ceiling windows on the fourth floor of the mall, which was better lit and easier to observe the surroundings. Zhao Ji and Laixi really didn't change into those exquisite fashions, but honestly found outdoor clothes and boots that were more suitable for survival in the outdoor goods area, and carried two bulging backpacks.
None of the three men were interested in paying attention to what they were stuffing in their backpacks, and the problem now was that there was no food or water in the mall, so they had to stay in it for the night, and tomorrow, they would have to find another way out for food and water.
"Is the sniper moving?" Zhao Ji stood by the window, looking at the silent high-rise buildings around him, a little puzzled, and a little unwilling to ask.
Li Hao snorted and said, "You remember to ask this question now, why didn't you remember to get in touch with people when you went to see those worthless clothes and cosmetics before?" ”
Hei Zeming looked at Li Hao with a sigh, sure enough, this guy didn't know how to communicate with women.
Zhao Ji glanced at Li Hao, with an expression that I have nothing to say to you. But is it normal that from the time they withdrew from the shelter, to the time they encountered the snipers, and now, hours have passed, and the military has not sent air power to take the snipers back?
At this time, Laixi's hair had grown to the position of the vest, and he tied a bunch of diamond jewelry at the back of his head, standing in the opposite position to Zhao Ji, Li Hao was very curious that they were looking at the clothes arm in arm like best friends who had known each other for many years, and at this time, it seemed that they had to keep a distance even when they stood together, and he couldn't help but sigh that the creature of women was really amazing.
"At nine o'clock, there's a flash." Laixi pointed to the street in the distance, keenly aware of the situation.
Li Hao also saw it, frowned and said, "Someone shot." "It's not surprising that they can't hear the gunshots from a distance with a muffler, but at night, the muzzle flame is very eye-catching.
Zhao Ji also turned his head and said, "Continuous firing, it is estimated that we are fighting with zombies, let's help them!" "When I said this, I didn't want to think about it, there are guns on the other side, and a few of you have a few broken knives, who is helping whom?
However, what made Hei Zeming and Long Qi helpless was that Li Hao obeyed these two girls again, and agreed without thinking about it. And since Li Hao and the three of them are leaving, the two of them staying behind are not only unrighteous but also have no practical significance, so they can only keep up.
When I walked to the street, I found that the scattered zombies wandering were obviously attracted by the battle over there, and most of them followed, so they were not threatened, and soon approached the location where they saw the fire just now, because they were close, they naturally heard the gunshots. Then, presumably the muffler-mounted pistol ran out of bullets, and a burst of machine-gun gunfire suddenly pierced the otherwise dead night sky.
