Section 238 Side by side
Digging through the stairway hidden under the concrete blocks, a musty smell came to my nose.
"Dig up that side too, ventilate first, and then go down tomorrow." Chen Xing said.
The big cat trotted over and dug down shovel after shovel. It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that the two dug up several vents. The air below began to flow, gushing with the smell of stale decay. Then the two found a higher position to eat and rest.
The next afternoon, the musty smell gradually faded. The two of them followed the gravel-staired staircase into the dungeon.
The beams of two flashlights swayed back and forth, and rows of vending machines came into view. The Yingren are one of the yellow races, and they have customs and habits that are different from those of the Eastern Continent. Their cities are extremely densely populated, with an average living area of less than eight square meters per person, and they are accustomed to living in small spaces. Therefore, they also love cleanliness. In order to make the best use of space, things are well organized, even in public places.
Even today, the dungeon is still neat and clean.
"Bang bang!"
The big cat pushed the vending machine a few times, and a can of aluminum drink rolled out. It's covered in mold, but the packaging is pretty good.
"After so many years, I don't know if I can drink it." The big cat muttered to himself, wiped it with his clothes, and pulled the tab of the jar. I only heard a "snort", and a faint smell of fruit permeated.
"Boom......" the big cat took a sip, "yes! He looked surprised, "The taste is okay, do you want a can?" ”
Chen Xing shook his head, he really didn't dare to enter the things of hundreds of years ago.
Looking left and right, it looks like a makeshift lounge, with stainless steel benches in the corner, rusted on them. Due to the lack of ventilation, nothing is completely corrupted.
At the end of the lounge is an iron door. Looking out of the window, there is a long walkway. Most of the underground buildings are hollow, and the same is true here, with shops on one side and patios on the other.
In the darkness, a solid beam of light shot down from above. The patio had been covered by the collapsed building, and it was the vent they had dug out. It's noon, and there's still sunshine on it.
"Crunch ......"
The two of them pushed the door open, perhaps due to the noise, and a large number of living corpses immediately poured out from the shop next to the aisle, rushing towards this side. They took advantage of the geographical advantage, blocking the door and shooting, removing the living corpses.
As you walk along the passage, you will find a sushi restaurant, a ramen restaurant, a cake shop, a snack shop, and a clothing store......
It seems to be an underground commercial street, and the decoration of the store is very in line with Yingren's consistent style, exquisite and small, neat and orderly.
Big Cat went in every store and rummaged through it, but it was all empty-handed, and he didn't find anything of value. However, he found a rolling pin more than a meter long in the ramen shop and waved it twice, which seemed to be very handy.
Chen Xing's flashlight swayed back and forth, trying to find a store with something valuable.
As he walked, the beam of the flashlight suddenly stopped on a shop across the building. Although the signboard was old and black, Chen Xing still recognized the Yingren characters on it.
Gold Seller!
Literally, it's a place where jewelry is sold. Chen Xing immediately looked around, looking for a way to the past. Underground buildings are usually in the shape of a "hui", with a lit patio in the middle, surrounded by houses, and then a circle of corridors on each floor.
Standing on the edge of the guardrail and looking down, the patio was pitch black, and the light could not reach the bottom, I don't know how deep it was.
The location of the gold shop is two floors below, and you have to look for stairs to go down. After walking forward for a while, the corridor collapsed, and it was impossible to pass. The two had no choice but to go backwards and detour from the other side. But when I got there, I found that the stairs had collapsed again, so I had to jump down.
"Why don't I go find the materials and make a ladder?" The big cat asked. As long as you make a long ladder, you can go up and down.
"It's too much trouble." Chen Xing said, jumping directly to the next floor at the collapse.
"How are you going to come up later?" The big cat asked with some concern, not daring to go down. He is fatter, not as flexible as Chen Xing, and he can't get up if he goes down.
"Just push a drink machine." Chen Xing pointed to the vending machines that could be seen everywhere and said.
The big cat jumped down, and when it landed, it made a "bang" sound, and it was far away. weighed more than one hundred and fifty, and the movement emitted was not comparable to ordinary people, so the living corpses in the store were all drawn out.
It's another human-corpse war. The gunfire attracted more living corpses, and the two men used up more than a dozen boxes of bullets before finally killing the corpses.
"I'm going to save some money, I'm almost halfway through the bullets." Big Cat said.
The two paused to count and found that there were still 22 cartridges for 5.56mm rifle rounds, 91 rounds for 7.62mm rifle rounds, 136 rounds for 9mm pistol rounds, and 67 rounds for Silver Star's 12.7mm pistol rounds.
"Use cold weapons." Chen Xing put away the gun and carried the sheath knife on his waist. The big cat has a rolling pin in one hand and a Mitsubishi thorn in the other.
However, most of the living corpses were lured over, and only a few were left, all of which were blown out of the head by the big cat.
After a while, the two finally came to the door of the gold shop and broke in. A living corpse pounced from behind the door, and Chen Xing raised his knife and fell, and his head flew out.
The flashlight shone off, and the cupboard was shining. Even after a long period of time, gold still exudes an alluring luster.
"Good guys!" The big cat picked up the rolling pin and crackled a few times, smashing the glass of the cabinet. Then, like a robber, he grabbed a lot of gold ornaments and stuffed them into the package.
Chen Xing walked directly into the back room, rummaged through the cabinets, and found the safe behind the chest of drawers. But every gold shop has this thing, and the most valuable ones are in it.
After the big cat finished cleaning up the gold jewelry outside, Chen Xing took out the C4 explosives and loaded them.
"Is it going to be too much movement?" The big cat asked.
Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "You go up first, ready to run at any time." "It's empty, the sound of the explosion will be heard far away, and God knows what monsters will be attracted. It's better to prepare for evacuation first. The big cat's agility is low and he runs slowly, but he doesn't care, it's too late to run after taking things.
It didn't take long for the big cat to return to the upper level and give him a signal with a flashlight.
Chen Xing turned his head and pressed down the detonator. With a "boom", the doors and windows shattered, and a large puff of smoke and dust rushed out of the storefront. A huge wave of sound echoed in my ears, towards the bottom of the patio. Chen Xing covered his nose, rushed into the store, and walked to the back room in the dark. The room was filled with smoke and dust, making it impossible to see. Chen Xing was about to go outside and wait for the smoke and dust to clear before coming in, but at this moment, a beast roar came from below.
The roar was like thunder, shaking people's hearts, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Chen Xing's face changed suddenly, and he quickly touched the edge of the safe. The safe that had just been blown up was extremely hot, and if someone else came, I was afraid that it would already be burned. Chen Xing was not afraid of the high temperature, and put his hands into the safe, no matter what it was, he stuffed it into the backpack in one go.
After stuffing things, Chen Xing picked up the package and touched it outside. There was a crackling sound from below, like a broad palm slapping against a wall. It seemed that something was climbing up, Chen Xing was nervous, and ran wildly towards the way he came.
The flashlight on the opposite side turns on and off, alternating between light and dark, sending him a danger signal. Chen Xing's feet were like the wind, and he ran up to the second floor in less than ten seconds, running towards the mouth of the collapse. The big cat has pushed the drink dispenser underneath and can climb directly to the first floor.
But halfway through the rush, suddenly a huge black shadow rushed up from below. The forelimbs tugged at the floor, and the masonry and glass fell down with a clatter.
As far as the eye could see, a humanoid creature was clinging to the floor. The limbs are thick, the back is arched, and the claws are large and pointed, sinking deep into the floor.
Creepers!
Chen Xing was taken aback.
Over the course of a long period of time, some living corpses have undergone "secondary mutations". They begin to develop hunger for their own kind and devour them in large numbers, which scholars call "hungry corpses".
In the process of devouring their own kind, the hungry corpse will become larger and larger, and then evolve into a copper-skinned and iron-clad "Xuan Corpse", or a fat and bloated "Poison King", or an agile and agile "Creeper".
Even the lowest-level giant living corpse has the strength of a quasi-town guard.
The creeper wriggled its large neck and made a "clucking" sound. The two eyes are like big red lanterns in the night, emitting a faint red light. The moment they looked at each other, Chen Xing's scalp exploded, and he turned around and ran.
The wind behind him suddenly rose, and Chen Xing subconsciously looked back. The creeper kicked his legs and threw himself on the floor in front of him, and the bricks and glass slid down like a waterfall.
Seeing that there was no way forward and no way to retreat, Chen Xing turned his heart sideways, picked up the "night owl", pulled the bolt and played it, and condensed the star sand. The lines on the inside of the barrel light up one by one. The creeper seemed to sense something, and raised its paw and slammed it on. Chen Xing rolled back and stood firmly. The corridor in front of it collapsed like a tofu block, falling into bottomless darkness. He didn't move, aiming at the huge living corpse.
The living corpse raised its claws again, but Chen Xing's energy storage was not yet complete.
"Silly big one, here!"
At the last moment, the voice of a big cat suddenly sounded above.
The creeper was drawn to the sound, and then a shuttle of bullets was fired at its head. The creeper roared in pain, its paws changing direction and slamming upwards.
At this time, Chen Xing's energy storage also entered the final stage. The creeper seemed to sense, twisting its hideous head and staring at the humans below.
Trio, Accumulated Shot!
The muzzle of the gun flashed blue, and the lantern-like eyes exploded.
"Whew!"
The creeper let out a deafening wail, and as soon as his limbs loosened, he fell off the patio. As soon as Chen Xing hit the hand, he immediately put the gun on his back, jumped onto the drink machine in three or two steps, jumped up again, grabbed the floor slab, and climbed up.
Halfway through the climb, his body suddenly lightened, and a strong hand pulled him up. Just as he fought side by side countless times in the previous life, even in the face of the abyss archdemon that covered the sky, knowing that it was a mortal situation, the big cat would stand by his side and stand side by side with him until the last moment.
"Quick!"
The two rushed into the lounge one after the other, running up the stairs.
As soon as he got out of the ground, before he could get used to the dazzling sunlight, there was a "boom" behind him, sand and gravel jumped and dirt poured.
"Roar!"
The creeper's head burst out of the ground, opening its bloody jaws that were cracked into its cheeks, and roaring at the two of them. The slender tongue was scarlet as blood, and the teeth were sharp and sharp, like jagged teeth, glistening in the sun.
Chen Xing made a quick decision, and before the creeper's body came out, he pulled out the pull ring of the grenade and threw it into its mouth.
"Goo-dong!"
The creeper swallowed, then with a muffled thud, his throat exploding and blood spurting wildly. The battered creeper struggled even harder, writhing frantically and squeezing out of the ground.
"Shoot him!"
Chen Xing shouted, pulled out his pistol, and blasted at the creeper's one-eyed. The big cat also screamed and rushed up, shooting desperately. The lantern-like one-eyed was splattered with blood and shattered. By the time the creeper had crawled completely out of the ground, his eyes were blind.
The two ran away separately, one shot in the east and one in the west, and finally consumed the seriously injured creeper alive.
"I made a fortune this time!"
After a while, Chen Xing held a fist-sized crystal nucleus and said in a comfortable mood.
"Let's see how much gold there is." The big cat wiped the black blood from his hands and took out a large cloth bag.
"I still have it." Chen Xing poured out the contents of his backpack.
"It's ......" "No......"
Looking at what was on the ground, both of them widened their eyes at the same time, as if they didn't believe what they were seeing.
It was a small cloth bag, and a few blue beads rolled out of the mouth of the bag.
The surface is round and smooth, and the color is mysteriously dark and deep, as if there is a strange magic that can absorb the light around it.
