Chapter 1: Dead People?

"We're here?" Hannibal's voice came from behind Ziliang.

Ziliang didn't speak, he just looked at the countdown on the page and was silent.

"What's wrong?"

Ziliang shook his head: "I don't know, the compass gave a countdown at the first time, which is very strange, usually it should match this world for a period of time before giving clues." ”

"Countdown? What's the countdown? "At this time, Hallie. Quinn walked over and asked.

"The compass doesn't prompt." Ziliang responded: "But what can make it react so quickly is usually a big event." ”

"For example?"

"Earthquakes, wars, volcanic eruptions, asteroids hitting the Earth, continental shelf breaks, nuclear explosions, the Earth being punched through, the solar system being blown to pieces, etc., anyway, those things that if we don't speed up, we will definitely die here." Ziliang said casually.

"Well, that's good news, that is, we've managed to get to a city where we don't need to do anything at all, and we're going to finish ourselves, right?" Quinn said, leaning against the door frame.

Ziliang put the compass back in his pocket: "That's pretty much it." Anyway, this time we can't wait for the compass to scan the plane slowly, we need to find what I'm looking for quickly. ”

"What are you looking for?"

"How do I know? I just knew there was something here that would bring the old man downstairs to life in the morgue. ”

"This ......," Hannibal seemed a little confused, "In other words, you don't know much about this plane, do you?" ”

"Of course I don't know, do you know how many planes there are in this world? If I can remember everything, what else do I need to do with the 'compass'......" Ziliang said with empty eyes: "But don't worry too much, this city doesn't look that big, and the people in small cities should be very hospitable, so just ask a resident and you should be able to find clues soon." ”

"How do you know this city is small?" Quinn said with his head down, then looked at the small building next to him that was still on fire: "And I think...... The inhabitants here are not a little too welcoming. ”

Ziliang directly ignored Quinn's words: "Whatever, in short, let's find someone to ask first." ”

With that, he scratched his unkempt hair and stepped into the rain

......

......

The night in Raccoon City was much quieter than expected, the wind in the middle of the night blew directly through the dim streets, and the obvious cold could be felt on the face, Ziliang and the other three walked on the street, as if it was difficult to hear other movements except for the sound of raindrops.

"This place...... Something is wrong. Quinn finally couldn't help it and spoke up.

In fact, in the first few blocks, she was only slightly surprised. But now that they had walked three blocks, the slight surprise had long since turned into a strong doubt.

Just now, the three of them walked through a bus stop, and on the platform, there was a simple map, according to the minds of these three people, they could naturally write it down as long as they looked at it. So at this moment, everyone is sure that this "Raccoon City" is indeed a small city...... But Xiaogui is small, and I haven't seen a single figure after walking for so long, isn't this a bit too much to say.

For example, the street in front of you, called Bepis Street, is a spacious street leading to the downtown area, with a full range of buildings nearby, many coffee shops and popular restaurants on both sides, and several movie theaters that specialize in horror movies and adult comedies. Follow Hallie. Quinn's understanding is that this should be a very popular place among young people in Raccoon City.

But now, the shops and restaurants on the street are barely lit – a few are still on, but the inside is empty. There were many cars parked on both sides of the road, but none of them started, not even the young people who were shaking the car.

"Hmm...... Maybe there's some kind of celebration here, it's a free pasta tasting, or a beer festival or something like that, so everyone goes there. Ziliang kept looking around, muttering with a blushing face.

"It was such a big holiday, they were so happy that they even ordered the house." Quinn said, "And don't you smell it?" There always seems to be a bad smell on this street. ”

No one spoke, and there was a faint sense of unease in this empty environment......

At this time, the three of them passed through an alley.

Since Quinn was walking on the inside of the street, she subconsciously glanced into the alley, and then stopped.

......

"What's wrong?" Ziliang and Hannibal stepped back in confusion, and then looked into the alley

...... Immediately after, they were all stunned.

The alley is narrow, but there is still a flickering streetlight. Under the light and shadow, a large dark shadow was gathering, and it looked like a huge whirlpool of leaves. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a flock of crows. Although the crows were so close, they could not be heard, only the faint sound of flapping their wings. They come together as if they ...... What are you enjoying......

It's a corpse.

Moreover, it is a human corpse, and for the three of them, of course, this will not be mistaken.

Although the deceased was lying face down, it was still recognizable that it was a woman - judging by her blood-stained shirt, it should not be a college student who had drunk too much beer and was napping in the middle of the road.

...... In the cold air, the stench became clearer.

"Well, the security conditions in this city don't seem to be much better than where I used to live." Quinn couldn't help but mutter.

Ziliang frowned, and he slowly walked towards the corpse. The crows didn't seem to care about anyone approaching, and continued to eat their dinner frantically. It wasn't until Ziliang came to an extremely close distance that they finally reluctantly flapped their wings a few times and flew away.

Ziliang bent down and looked at the corpse carefully......

The over-the-knee jeans and flats were still intact, and although the blood-stained shirt obscured the body, there seemed to be a dozen wounds - the wet clothes had torn open, and the bloody muscles underneath could be seen.

Ziliang held his breath and reached out to touch the naked arm of the corpse. The cold, slippery touch suddenly spreads through the fingers to the whole body, and this stiffness ...... Apparently dead for a long time......

Immediately afterwards, Ziliang turned the corpse over with force...... The sight in front of him couldn't help but make him raise his eyebrows again.

The corpse's shirt was torn open to reveal the spine and chest, the sternum with some of the flesh left was bright red, and the ribs that made up the woman's curves were mixed with the torn internal tissue. It's like being slammed to the ground and then ...... It's like being torn like crazy.

The bite marks were definitely not caused by crows, because with their beaks and beaks, no matter how long it takes, they can't do that.

Then...... Hannibal walked over.

"A corpse?" He asked faintly.

Ziliang shrugged his shoulders: "Obviously, it's also a corpse that has been bitten by something." ”

In the flickering light, Hannibal's gaze skimmed over the wounds on the corpse......

"This tooth mark ...... It's human. He said lightly.
