There was a burning smell in the air, as if dry wood was burned in a garbage dump, and it always felt that the smell was wrong but not so bad.

On the bloodied steps was a downward-facing male corpse, his mouth wide open, his body in the shape of a C, and the back of his head was still stained with blood around the steps, but it was already showing signs of drying.

Ye Yao covered her mouth and stepped over from the corpse, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, but thought that it was not the reaction of looking at the corpse, but the result of running up the stairs with her breath just now.

After stepping over the corpse, she walked up another step, then stopped and hunched over in relief. Now she felt like she had just come out of the pool, dripping from every pore of her body, and her lips were chapped and white.

She stood leaning against the railing, tapping her forehead with her wrist, and soon a drop of water formed from the spot that hung under her cheek. Sue was standing at the corner of the stairs below her, looking tired, and she could faintly hear her panting.

Ye Yao looked at Su Yi and realized that the wall behind her was marked with the number of floors, and she had climbed fourteen floors unconsciously. With the exception of extremely rare climbs, there has never been a climb on such a high floor in one go.

It's no wonder that I feel so tired.

Ye Yao couldn't help but sit on the steps, and Su Yi also slowed down his pace and walked towards her a little bit.

"Let's take a break, I can't walk anymore." Ye Yao said softly. Qin Kai, who was just about to continue walking up, also stopped, and he sat at the corner of the stairs above Ye Yao.

"It should be high enough, I haven't seen any zombies." Su Yi walked to Ye Yao's side exhausted, and he felt a little out of breath when he spoke.

"Then you can't just stay on this staircase. It's better to find a safe place to escape the night. Qin Kai took the fruit knife and turned it in his hand.

"Huh? What about the Mares? Ye Yao reacted suddenly, and he poked his head down towards the gap in the stairwell.

"That kid was still standing on the roof of the car in a daze when we jumped out of the car." Qin Kai said.

"Isn't it? Can he still be in a daze at such a time? Su Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I hear you speak ill of me." The stairwell immediately followed with Marry's voice. Before the three of them could speak again, he appeared at the corner of the stairs, and the Tang knife in his hand had been dyed blood-red.

Seeing the three of them, Ma Rui finally relaxed, and before he had time to climb the stairs, he directly stretched his legs and sat on the ground.

"But I'm so tired that I almost died." He laughs.

"We thought you were zombies." Sue said.

"Seeing the three of you running so fast, I almost want to die, but fortunately I have this knife, otherwise I might really be a zombie."

"You have to thank me for not taking the knife." Qin Kai stood up as he spoke, and looked upstairs, there was a glimmer of light on it. Before he could take a closer look, zombies suddenly rushed down the stairs.

The zombie pounced from top to bottom, and its body completely vacated and smashed into Qin Kai, Qin Kai didn't have time to react and was knocked to the ground headlong, accompanied by the sound of glass bottles shattering. For a while, there was a smell of alcohol volatilization.

Qin Kai, who had just fallen to the ground, instinctively guided the movements of his hands, and almost immediately he grabbed the neck of the zombie, and the sound of teeth colliding seemed to be ringing in his ears, so crisp and so deadly.

At the critical moment, Qin Kai touched the fruit knife that fell to the ground, and stabbed the zombie's temple with unmistakable accuracy, and the danger was instantly lifted.

When the other three people who reacted ran up the stairs, they only saw a zombie lying on Qin Kai's lower body that was no longer struggling.

"I really can't relax at all." Qin Kai patted his body and stood up. There was an extra wound on his wrist, and blood was still oozing outward, but on closer inspection, it was not a zombie bite mark, but a cut from the residue of a broken beer bottle.

"You're really unlucky" Ma Rui squatted down, picked up the glass slag and looked at it: "This zombie actually drinks." ”

"This was clearly drunk before the mutation." Sue said seriously.

"Of course I do, I just want to ease the tension." Marley threw away the glass shards, got back up, and said, "Anyway, how can there be beer here?" Could it be that someone still brings beer to work? ”

"Just go up and have a look." Qin Kai raised his head in the direction of the light source.

The four of them quickly pushed open the iron door of the security passage on the fifteenth floor, and what they saw was a corpse lying on the ground.

"It's a convenience store!" Marry said, pointing to the entrance not far away.

Qin Kai leaned towards the door cautiously, and there were faint chaotic sounds coming from inside, which couldn't help but make him clench his dagger.

Qin Kai pricked up his ears vigilantly to listen, judging from the sound, it seemed to be a little dull, as if he was beating a flour bag. Zombies don't make such sounds.

Qin Kai walked quickly around the corner, and two men in suits appeared in front of him, one of them was holding a crowbar in his hand, and there was a zombie lying on the ground that had been pierced with eyeballs, and it seemed that he was completely immobile.

Qin Kai saw that the two did not speak, but they opened their mouths first and asked, "Dead or alive?" ”

"The dead won't stand and talk to you." Qin Kai said.

"That's right." One of the men, with long hair in braids, finally slammed the zombie's head hard.

"It's nice that there are still living people." Ma Rui and two women immediately appeared behind Qin Kai.

As if by accident, the two men in front of them glanced at each other at the same time, and then walked towards the four.

Ma Rui still wanted to continue walking, but was grabbed by Qin Kai, who was standing in front of him. Ma Rui looked at him in surprise, and just wanted to speak, but he heard a man opposite, with a wicked smile, and said, "These two girls are pretty good-looking." ”

"What are you going to do?" Ma Rui asked bluntly, and he also began to notice a strange change in the atmosphere. The two girls retreated again and again, until they reached the elevator entrance.

"You're their boyfriend?" The pigtailed man asked, wielding a crowbar in his hand.

"No." Ma Rui deliberately showed the Tang knife on the side of his body.

The other party held back a glance at Tang Dao as he expected, and Ma Rui thought that he should retreat this time.

Unexpectedly, the other party followed up and said, "No! That's your business, don't look for trouble. ”

Ma Rui wanted to continue the theory, but saw the pigtail man pull a crowbar to the back of Ma Rui's hand holding the knife, and the pain stimulated his nerves in a short time, which immediately made him spread his palm, and the Tang knife fell to the ground.

The other man pulled up the crowbar at the same time and smashed it at Qin Kai's left leg, Qin Kai, who had been preparing, didn't react for a while, and his calf staggered for a while.

At the same time, Qin Kai also found that the man's arm had zombie bite marks.

Seeing that Qin Kai hadn't fallen to the ground, the man immediately raised the crowbar above his head and smashed it straight towards the door in front of him.

Before Qin Kai could stand firmly, he was forced so tightly that he fell to the ground defenselessly, but at the same time as he fell to the ground, he shoveled down the oncoming man. Both of them fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they immediately scuffled together.

Before the pain on Ma Rui's palm on the other end dissipated, and before he could even react, the pigtailed man had already hit the crowbar on him three times, and the last stick hit him straight above his eyebrows, and a trace of blood oozed from his forehead for a while.

Ma Rui felt the world spin for a while, sometimes dim and sometimes awake in front of him, the pigtailed man's face gradually became hideous in his eyes, and he watched him raise the crowbar with both hands again, and the pigtailed man's shirt was torn up, revealing the navel of his waist.

It was as if the whole time was frozen in this moment.

Ma Rui thinks he should dodge, but his brain is like his body is out of touch, and he can't make a choice.

Is it going to end... Ma Rui shook his head, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally closed his eyes completely and fell to the ground.

He didn't know if he had taken the stick, only that he heard the screams and shouts of the other three before he fell to the ground, and a sense of oppression that followed.

Cold, soft, that's the first thing he felt. A drop of rain fell on the calm water in my heart, and the ripples gradually spread in all directions, with deep to shallow ripples. Then he seemed to think of something ...

It's the hideous face of a zombie! It was like a lightning bolt in his brain, and he opened his eyes violently.

I saw Su Yi lying on his stomach, and he seemed to have passed out. Ye Yao, who was not far away, was still resisting the pigtailed man, and the clothes on her body had begun to be torn to pieces.

Qin Kai, who was exhausted from the fight, and the companion of the pigtailed man pinched each other's necks, and their faces had turned red, as if they could decide life and death in the next second.

Ma Rui, who shook his head, looked unusually calm in the corners of his eyes, he slowly pushed Su Yi away from his body, then picked up the Tang knife that fell to the ground, and walked calmly in the direction of Qin Kai.

The pigtailed man's companion seemed to notice something unusual, and he tried to struggle more intensely, but he had already exhausted his strength while stalemate with Qin Kai, and the two of them were still unable to move.

He turned his back to Ma Rui, and his whole body began to shake reflexively due to excessive force, Ma Rui did not hesitate to pick up the Tang knife in his hand and pierce his heart from back to front, and the tip of the knife finally stayed only two centimeters away from Qin Kai's body.

The tip of the knife was still gathering the blood flowing from his body, and the blood was not allowed to leave the blade, Ma Rui neatly withdrew the Tang knife, turned around and strode towards the pigtailed man.

At this time, Ye Yao had already become crazy, she tried to stop the pigtailed man's move with her teeth, but what came to her face was a heavy slap, the sound overshadowed her screams, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with blood in an instant.

At the same time, she smiled. Su Yi, who was in a coma, also gradually woke up and slowly raised his head.

Seeing her sudden change, the pigtailed man stopped his crazy invasion. Then he felt the pain of his back being torn throughout his body, and before he could turn around, the pain hit him a second time.

He couldn't move with his breath, and when he looked down his legs, a pool of blood had formed on the ground.

Ma Rui only raised the corners of his mouth slightly at this time, as if he was very satisfied with the X he had just drawn with the knife. But the pigtailed man did not give in because of this, he endured the severe pain and quickly clenched his fists, intending to give Ma Rui a head-on blow at the moment of turning.

That's when it happened.

"Ding!" The elevator doors opened...

Countless zombies began to pour towards them ...
