Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Shadow of Childhood

The further up the fire staircase you go, the more decomposing the corpses become, and the walls are covered with black-brown slime and white flocculents. Wang Zhiyuan, who was under the weight of the full set of equipment, gradually lost his physical strength, panted and helped the gas mask on his face, and rested on the handrail of the stairs for a while.

Climbing up to the stairwell on the 14th floor, a swollen female corpse seemed to tremble slightly in the white light. Wang Zhiyuan vigilantly patted No. 5 on the back and said, "This corpse is strange. Pulling No. 5 back a few steps, he picked up the AK47 in his hand, aimed at the corpse that had swelled into a cylinder, and fired two shots.

The swollen female corpse was like a balloon punctured by a needle, and the swollen abdominal cavity burst open in an instant, and reddish-brown mucus and minced flesh sprayed all over the wall. Wang Zhiyuan was so frightened that he quickly hid behind No. 5, and a round meat maggot crawled out of the bursting chest cavity of the dead body.

Wang Zhiyuan was smashed by a few shots, the little black head of the meat maggot, and the meat maggot twisted and twitched a few times before lying on the corpse and not moving. The stairs in front of us were almost covered with slime and rotten minced meat, and it was impossible to walk. From the fire box in the stairwell, he took out two large bottles of dry powder fire extinguishers and sprayed them at the dead bodies on the stairs.

The white mist dispersed, and the disgusting mucus was covered by the fire extinguishing powder, and Wang Zhiyuan endured the nausea and followed behind the robot No. 5. thought to himself: "Fortunately, the air filtration performance of the gas mask is passable, otherwise I have to vomit to death, and I don't know that Xia Lingyun operated a mechanical dog in front of me to smash it." ”

finally got to the 15th floor Wang Zhiyuan was tired, Wang Zhiyuan couldn't wait to take off his whole body equipment immediately and take a good breath. In front of the fire door on the 15th floor, a mechanical dog that has been temporarily renovated stares at the fire door that looks like it has been put down for a long time. The walkie-talkie on Wang Zhiyuan's shoulder vibrated slightly, and Xia Lingyun's voice came out when he pressed the call button: "Be careful, I feel that there is a problem behind this fire door, why did you climb up?" ”

It's already here, and it has to be opened anyway, and Robot 5 uses a door breaker to fuse the falcons on both sides, leans down and raises the fire door with both arms. The inside was completely clogged with filing cabinets, desks and other sundries, and Wang Zhiyuan thought to himself: "It seems that there were some survivors hidden here, but it has been more than two months since the apocalyptic disaster, and it is estimated that food and water will definitely not last until now." ”

A filing cabinet was pulled from the clutter pile against the fire door, and No. 5 pushed open a desk with a few clicks, and the light swept through to find two swollen bodies of women lying in the hallway. Pushing open the door of an office that was headed, there was also a corpse in a female professional suit lying on the couch inside, also with a swollen chest and abdomen.

After a few casual glances at other offices, there were basically a few female corpses with swollen chests and abdomen. Walking to an archive room in the middle of the corridor, there was a large amount of dried blood on the floor outside the door, Wang Zhiyuan leaned against the door and asked Robot 5 to push the door open. The light swept by, Wang Zhiyuan glanced at it, and immediately retched on to the door frame.

At least a dozen corpses were piled up in a pile, many as if they had been melted, with only some flesh and bones remaining. Seeing that most of the cases were male corpses, an idea hurriedly flashed through Wang Zhiyuan's mind, shook his head, and hurriedly closed the door and said to No. 5: "We are not biologists, don't worry about what is going on here, go find the broadcast control room first." ”

Walking to the door of the central control room, Robot No. 5 was breaking down the door, Wang Zhiyuan suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and there seemed to be something on the top of his head. Hurriedly lifting the AK47 to look at the ceiling overhead, a ventilation pipe baffle seemed to move slightly. There was really no energy and need to study what was drilled in the ventilation pipe, Wang Zhiyuan put down the gun and said: "Pay attention to the ventilation pipe above your head, there seems to be something inside." ”

Following No. 5 to knock open the door of the central control room, there were still three female corpses inside, Wang Zhiyuan felt a little strange in his heart: "Why are the female corpses swollen and scattered everywhere, and the male corpses are concentrated in that archive room." Finding the distribution box in a small compartment next to the door, Wang Zhiyuan pushed the backup power switch up.

Lights were lit up in turn, illuminating the entire hall of the central control room, and several large screens in the middle were lit up in turn, surrounded by several glass compartments. The largest room also had two half-gnawed announcers, and the ground was littered with broken cockroach shells and stumps indicating that there was once a cockroach-eating thing, perhaps a spider or something.

Walk to the center console, press the emergency broadcast switch, take out a mobile phone from your pocket, plug in the data cable and connect to the audio input, and set an alarm clock with an infinite loop. Wang Zhiyuan originally wanted to test the effect, but then shook his head and said, "Forget it, so as not to invite that group of hornets again, it will be troublesome." ”

Push all the knobs of the center mixer, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, to the highest, and say to Robot 5, "It's over, we can retreat." Turning around and just about to leave, the door in the corridor outside was suddenly knocked open, and several large flies fluttered their wings and quickly crawled towards the hall of the central control room.

Wang Zhiyuan hurriedly aimed at the flies that had rushed to him, and more than a dozen strafing shots shattered the chest cavity of the big fly. Robot No. 5 lifted the M2 heavy machine gun from behind with both arms, and the two severed arms on both shoulders were holding AK47s, and several large flies that rushed in were instantly paralyzed on the floor by the fierce fire.

Suddenly, Wang Zhiyuan saw from the glass of a broadcasting studio that a hideous head poked out of the vent in the ceiling behind him. As if he had been skinned, his eyes had become two deep black holes, and his mouth had cracked open, slowly sticking out a mouthpart covered with fluff.

Wang Zhiyuan quickly pounced forward in fright, turned around in the air, and as soon as the backpack on his back hit the ground, he immediately shot at the monster that leaned out half of its body. The remaining dozen or so bullets in the AK47 magazine were all fired, and the monster quickly drilled out of the ventilation pipe and quickly climbed up the ceiling to the top of Wang Zhiyuan's head.

Robot No. 5 has two short arms on his shoulders, and he raises it above his head and shoots a few short points with AK47 in his back. Knocked the monster off the ceiling and into the distance under a few toppled cabinets.

Several vent covers on the ceiling suddenly fell, and round meat maggots continued to fall from them, squirming and crawling towards Wang Zhiyuan.

More big-headed flies rushed into the center control room from the hallway, and the muzzle of the M2 heavy machine gun with two magazines emptying No. 5 was already a little red, and single-chain fasteners and hot shells were scattered all over the floor.

The increasing number of meat maggots rolling around Wang Zhiyuan also made Wang Zhiyuan a little unable to cope with it, and shouted at No. 5: "We have to find a way to get out of this place, this is not a way." ”
