P16:57, a strong wind blew by the river, dark clouds covered the sky, and the temperature dropped greatly.

It's going to rain, and it's a heavy rain.

Liang Yi drove the yacht to the private dock and fixed it with a rope a few more times, the river rolled up waves, and the yacht could not help swaying no matter how firmly it was fixed.

"It's hell weather, it's sunny one second, and the wind is blowing the next second......"

"Don't complain, let's go back to the hotel first."

Liang Yi and Hathaway quickened their pace and walked towards the hotel, and when they arrived at the gate, they happened to meet Chen Liang and others who were running back.

"How's the monitoring installed?" Liang Yi asked first.

Nixon replied: "I have installed hummingbird cameras at all 7 intersections, which have roughly enveloped the positive area, and I have installed 3 'laser guards' in the vicinity of 50, as well as a 'laser cutter', to maintain our homes in an equilateral triangle, and as long as an infected person is near, the laser interception will be triggered passively." ”

"Very good, it's going to get dark soon, everyone go into the house early, and take turns on duty tonight."

The group walked into the hotel one after another, closed the door, and prepared for the second night.

……

The floor of the bungalow villa is not high, the 5th floor is already capped, Kofi Hall and others blocked the door of the stairs below the 5th floor, leaving only an opening on the 5th floor, and cleaned up this floor, fortunately, no infected person was found. The supporting facilities in the hotel are also very complete, at least there is no rancid smell.

"In this way, we have 9 people, on duty in two batches, from now until 12 o'clock, Section Chief Hall, Chen Liang, Lv Dapeng, Yang Yu, first by the four of you on duty, 2 guard at the staircase, 2 guard by the window; After midnight, Hathaway, Deng Fan, Cai Ming, Nixon, the four of you took over until dawn; The rooms on the 5th floor are more abundant and the facilities are more comfortable, so those who are not on duty should take a break. ”

Liang Yi gathered everyone and ordered tonight's garrison.

Chen Liang asked, "What about you, Chief Liang?" ”

Liang Yi said: "I am responsible for monitoring the dynamics of infected people at major intersections. ”

Chen Liang smiled: "Wouldn't that be an all-nighter?" Hurt your waist! Hee-hee......"

Liang Yi was meticulous: "Okay, if there is nothing to do, just do what I say, hurry up and disperse!" ”

Nixon placed his computer in a bedroom with a balcony and virtually imaged seven images, corresponding to the seven intersections where the "hummingbird camera" was placed.

"Boom!"

Thunder thunder, sky shock!

"Boom la la ......"

And so the downpour came, without even a prelude; The wind is howling, like a ghost roaring, and the urban area in the shower, like the pines and cypresses on the roadside, is shaking, floating and sinking!

Awakened by the thunder, the infected scurry out of the muddy alleys and begin to wander the neighborhood.

Liang Yi moved a chair and sat quietly in front of the screen, with a posture, a look, and a pack of cigarettes, and planned to sit all night. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed the pleasures of the night alone, and the NightClan had always had a bone excitement for the night.

"Bang

Liang Yi flicked the cigarette ash: "Please come closer." ”

The door was slowly pushed open, and Hathaway, holding a cup of coffee and a faint glowing stick, quietly walked in, closed the door casually, and locked it.

This "click" sound successfully diverted Liang Yi's attention, he stared at Hathaway, and his voice was a little cold: "Tonight, I don't accept any jokes." ”

Hathaway moved a chair beside Liang Yi, handed the coffee in her hand to Liang Yi's nose, and asked, "Hot coffee, is it fragrant?" ”

Espresso, steaming hot, from Hathaway's arrival, it was already full of fragrance.

"How?"

Liang Yi subconsciously wanted to take the coffee, but Hathaway withdrew the cup, "Brewed with the heating bag of the self-heating hot pot," she raised Erlang's legs high, took a sip of coffee, and said with a smile: "Of course, this cup of coffee is for myself." ”

Liang Yi lit a cigarette casually, he has this companion, and he doesn't need coffee for a long night.

"I want cigarettes too." Hathaway sandwiched the cigarette that Liang Yigang was sucking on, swallowed the smoke freely, and said with a smile: "Of course, coffee and cigarettes are not surprises, but me, I will stay up late with you." ”

It would not be bad if there was a woman who accompanied him for a long night, Liang Yi lit a cigarette casually, found a topic casually, and asked, "Have you thought about your future plans?" ”

"Intended?" Hathaway flicked the ashes of her cigarette, "When is it next?" This question is too selective. ”

Liang Yi said: "If you are selective, it means that you have to sacrifice some things - I ask you again, if you were asked to give up something, which ones would you give up?" ”

Hathaway thought for a moment and said first, "Right." I am not a power-seeker, and that is why I have been given the position of 'minister', but I do not have the real power that Miss Hathaway has. ”

"Hmm......" Liang Yi nodded, and asked again: "What else?" ”

Hathaway said, "Money...... If I cared about money, I wouldn't have lived on the Black Isle for decades, and I wouldn't have to worry about money, and even though I was an adopted daughter, I also had wealth beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

Liang Yi continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

Hathaway said: "I can do without freedom, I am not interested in the outside world, I have a big sky in my own heart." ”

Liang Yi continued to ask: "What if there is more?" ”

Hathaway began to think seriously, so seriously that she forgot that the cigarette burned out, and finally she gave a reply: "Long hair...... I could cut my long hair short, but not shorter than Miss Agatha. For a tall woman like me, cutting her hair short is actually a big sacrifice. ”

In this way, there are not many options in her heart, Liang Yi knows that if she asks again, maybe this woman, probably, is likely to lose her temper, so she smiled and didn't say anything more.

Hathaway was also silent, she must be thinking, what options do she still have to give up, for example, love? Camaraderie? If he chooses love, then she will definitely lose her friendship. Probably thinking of this, she raised her head and struggled to look at Liang Yi, after a few thoughts, she lowered her head and sighed regretfully, why do you want to do this kind of multiple-choice question?

"Actually, I can give up my waist and bust...... These are all sacrifices that a woman should have, such as my young and presumptuous mother, who used to be so beautiful and strong, but since she gave birth to me and my brother, her figure has begun to lose shape......"

She was more like talking to herself, and if Liang Yi hadn't interrupted her, maybe she would have been able to babble for hours. Gradually, she has begun to recall the beauty of her childhood, from the moment she was born to the year she was 10 years old, her language came to an abrupt end, and her happy expression was instantly frozen, as if even her breath had chosen to be still.

Everyone's childhood will have a shadow, which is more and which is less, and which is bigger and which is smaller, but it must be an earth-shattering change for her.

"Knock knock!"

The sound of fists slamming on the door! Chen Liang's anxiety came from outside the door:

"Sir Liang, I feel like something is 'flying off the wall'!"

Hathaway shook her spirits and hurriedly went over to open the door, Liang Yi scanned all 7 images of the hummingbird camera again, and found no trace of any mutants except for the increasing number of infected people!

Hathaway opened the door, Chen Liang saw it, hesitated outside and didn't dare to come in: "Yo...... Sister Hai, are you there too? ”

Hathaway said: "Don't talk nonsense, report the situation quickly!" What's going on? ”

Chen Liang didn't dare to sell Guanzi, and said directly: "Lu Dapeng and I are on duty at the staircase on the 4th floor, and there is a big glass window in the stairwell, and the two of us are sitting under the windowsill, guarding the entrance from the 4th floor to the 5th floor. We lit a cigarette just now, and it was all covered with a windbreaker, and the light was absolutely faint, but before we could take two puffs, we heard a 'crunch' sound on the windowsill overhead, as if something was crawling on the glass, and the sound was very harsh...... We quickly extinguished the cigarette and silenced it for about 10 minutes before we got up to check it, and found a handprint about the size of a man's slap on the glass window! ”

"Handprints?" Hathaway frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's a mudra?" Can you see clearly with a few fingers? ”

Chen Liang thought and said, "It seems to be 3, and it seems to be 4...... There was no light at the time, I just vaguely saw a silhouette, and I couldn't remember it very clearly. ”

"Okay, Chen Liang, you can stay and keep an eye on the monitoring for the time being, and tell me if there is anything abnormal," Liang Yi got up, walked quickly to the door, and beckoned Hathaway: "Let's go to the 4th floor to see the situation." ”

……

In a luxury hotel, there is a view window at the corner of each staircase, and the window is definitely sealed.

The rainstorm outside the window was much quieter, but it also "crackled" non-stop, Liang Yi and Hathaway came to the staircase softly and slowly, and were just about to go down the stairs to check, when suddenly a "twitter......" screeching sound rubbing the glass came from under the stairs!

"Shh......h

Liang Yi stopped Hathaway, made a silent gesture, and hid behind the wall perpendicular to the staircase, and then, he took out his mobile phone, compared the smooth side to the direction of the window of the floor view, and used the refracted perspective to see what was outside the window-

A huge creeping monster with an indistinct appearance was clinging to the window, its size was quite huge, covering almost two-thirds of the glass window, and its body length was more than 2!

Lu Dapeng clutched his rifle and sat against the windowsill, sweating profusely in horror.

The creeping monster must have noticed something strange under the glass window, and a pair of bulging, pale green eyes looked back and forth in front of the window, hesitating and refusing to leave!
