CHAPTER XXI

"What's so noisy outside?" Zhang Pengtao hurriedly stood up, only to hear the noisy voice, as if there were 10,000 people running and shouting.

Zhou Xi walked to the back door of the warehouse to hear any key sounds, but there were still many out-of-control people banging on the door at the door, and they couldn't hear anything except the noise.

"No matter, let's go to the supermarket first." As soon as Xu Wen's words fell, he opened the front door to the supermarket. Zhou Xi was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, only to hear Xu Wen's exclamation, which made Zhang Pengtao walk towards him curiously.

"It's too dark." Zhang Pengtao looked at the supermarket where he couldn't see his fingers, and it was difficult to walk in it without lights. What's even more terrifying is that there is a stark contrast between here and outside.

None of them knew if there was anyone out of control who threatened them. Nowadays, they don't have any weapons to defend themselves, and in this dark environment, there is no urge to go in and take risks.

Zhou Xi looked at the darkness in front of him, and looked at the way where the back door had long been blocked. Helplessly, he reminded the two only men around him with his eyes, which means: At present, there is only this path for them to choose.

"Are we going to go in the dark like this?" Xu Wen tossed the boxes containing the items in the warehouse, and the only light was the dim white light tube above the warehouse.

The darkness in the supermarket made the three of them close together. Zhang Pengtao led the way ahead, and from time to time he would bump into some objects, fall to the ground, roll back and forth, and make a deafening sound. The sound of items falling died down, and a deathly silence ensued in the supermarket.

"Where have we been?" Zhou Xi looked at the faint light emitted by the warehouse door in the distance, and the dazzling square stood upright in the darkness, looking extremely lonely.

All they knew was that they were getting farther and farther away from the warehouse, and they had bumped into a lot of unknown iron frames and glass. Xu Wen held Zhou Xi with his right hand, groped with his left hand, and gradually touched the slimy touch, Xu Wen let out a low exclamation, making Zhang Pengtao, who was taking the lead in front, stop his steps.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Pengtao couldn't turn around, he could feel that his huge body was stuck in the middle of the table on both sides, and there were two people behind him, Zhou Xi and Xu Wen, pulling the corners of their clothes.

"It's disgusting, I don't know what I came across." Xu Wen stretched out his hand to his nose and sniffed it, and an indescribable smell instantly filled his brain, and he unconsciously bent down and retched.

"Are you alright?" Zhou Xi patted Xu Wen on the back in the dark, and inexplicably poked the laughter and said: "You are also powerful enough, you have to smell it, are you a dog." ”

Xu Wen was helpless in the darkness and continued to follow Zhang Pengtao forward.

"Why is it so crowded here, I regret you go first." After speaking, Xu Wen helped Zhou Xi on the side to the front.

Zhou Xi touched the position on both sides, and the uneven design gave her a very familiar feeling

"This is the cash register, right?"

"Nonsense, where is there such a narrow passage at the cash register." Zhang Pengtao retorted, according to the spacing just now, he was barely able to go straight without going sideways.

Xu Wen wiped the foreign object in his hand back and forth on his clothes, and was about to pull Zhou Xi's hand through. Suddenly, I felt like my feet were tripped by something, and I couldn't move. The restraint of the ankles became more and more forceful with each effort of Xu Wen. Suddenly, Xu Wenmeng didn't dare to move in place. The cold touch was moving up his ankles, and the unusually pronounced touch of the palm began to grope in his thighs.

"Why don't you come ......?"

As soon as Zhou Xi's words fell, the hand that stopped on Xu Wen's calf suddenly exerted force, and the strength between his fingers instantly transmitted the pain in his calf to his whole body. Xu Wen knelt on one knee, so painful that he couldn't pull out and gasped.

"Someone...... At...... Grab my foot......" Xu Wen sat on the ground and wanted to pull away, only to feel that the hand was constantly increasing his strength, and the calf muscles he was holding made Xu Wen unable to move in the effort.

Zhang Pengtao quickly walked through the narrow passage, grabbed Xu Wen's hands and tried to bring him up from the ground. With Xu Wen's wail, Zhang Pengtao stopped moving. Walking towards Xu Wen's calf in the dark, Zhang Pengtao stopped looking for it after a few fumbles.

"What are you doing, hurry up and help me."

Zhang Pengtao listened to Xu Wen's endless wail, patted Xu Wen on the shoulder and walked back to Zhou Xi and said, "You just have leg cramps." ”

Zhou Xi listened to Zhang Pengtao's helpless tone, snorted and suddenly let out a barbell-like laugh, walked to Xu Wen's side and helped him up who was kneeling on the ground.

"We can't see anything now, it's normal to be afraid, don't worry about overdoing it."

"Yes, yes, this is a normal fear...... "Fortunately, in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, if there is light, Xu Wen may find a hole in the ground and never want to come out again.

The two walked through the narrow passage, Xu Wen looked at his feet that had gradually recovered, and he seemed to feel something in the darkness. It was an extraordinary touch, and it didn't look like a cramp at all. With this question, it is not good for him to continue to ask, to avoid causing panic or to take a step at a time.

"The supermarket should have a power switch, but where?" Zhou Xi's question was a little embarrassing, and if the power switch could be found in such an environment, it would be something that could only be achieved by shit luck.

"What are we looking for now?" When Xu Wen asked this key question, Zhang Pengtao didn't know how to answer.

"You can find anything." Zhang Pengtao stretched out his hand and touched the front, and said, "Aren't your two left and right hands free?" I will lead the way, and on your left and right you will hold whatever you touch like water, and whatever you touch like food, take it. ”

Xu Wen couldn't imagine that the soldiers of the troops leading the way in front could say such a casual sentence. But Xu Wen couldn't refute it, after all, in this dark world, he didn't have a better way to deal with the problem of them not having food and water. After all, the backpack that was snatched last night is still haunted by Xu Wen, and if he catches the robber, he will definitely be beaten up. Thinking of this, Xu Wen unconsciously touched his still swollen eyes.

"How is there a wall here?"

Zhou Xi, who was standing on the left, had already touched the wall with his right hand. This means that they have walked to the edge of the supermarket. Zhang Pengtao was about to turn around and walk towards the middle of what he thought, when he was pulled from behind by Zhou Xi.

"Wait, there's a wire here." As he spoke, he groped for the ground along the line glued to the wall.

The line close to the ground led crookedly to the side shelf, and Zhou Xi continued to grope his hand into the shelf before he barely touched something like a switch.

"Did you run into it?" Zhang Pengtao squatted beside Zhou Xi and asked anxiously, if it weren't for the fact that his arm was too thick to stretch in, he wouldn't let a girl do it.

"Almost ......" Zhou Xi held his breath as if he was about to stuff his whole person into the gap, and suddenly gasped and muttered: "The chest is a little big, it's about to touch." ”

Xu Wen patted his forehead and shook his head helplessly, at this time, the only one who can open the yellow cavity is Zhou Xi's optimist. Just thinking about it, my eyes instantly lit up. The three of them squinted, and it took a long time to get used to the light. I saw warm yellow lights illuminating the shelves, and dolls were placed on them.

"It's the lights on this shelf." Xu Wen was a little helpless, looking at the doll shelves illuminated by yellow lights, looking at the smile on the face of the doll, he didn't feel cute at all in today's environment, and there was a kind of panicked illusion that was frightening.

Zhang Pengtao looked at the environment they were in, and they were already in the most corner of the supermarket. Not only is the location of the warehouse door invisible, but because of this light, the rest of the supermarket is still pitch black. Zhou Xi looked at the dolls full of shelves, and looked along the shelves to the ceiling only to find that there was a switch on the topmost shelf.

"You're really out of shit luck." Zhang Pengtao complained, quickly climbed up the shelves to the top floor, and pulled the giant switch that had already accumulated dust.

The ceiling of the supermarket began to flicker back and forth, and the white light echoed throughout the supermarket with a sizzling sound. Suddenly, a bright light illuminates the entire dark environment. Zhang Pengtao stood on the top floor of the shelf, looking at the foreign body remaining on Xu Wen's arm, and the dried blood was still sticking to his fingers.

"I ...... Go to ......"

With Zhou Xi's exclamation, Zhang Pengtao raised his head. As far as the eye could see, there were crowded 'people'. The shelves of various heights are hung with stumps, and the blackened blood stains encroach on the supermarket floor. At this time, the three of them did not know whether to be glad to have bypassed the crowd, or whether to be afraid of how to escape from this corner.

Xu Wen looked at the group of 'people' in front of him who were not moving, and the rotten flesh on his body was constantly being invaded by white insects. Some 'people' even have a single bone hanging from it, supporting the meat that has not yet been eaten at the bottom.

Zhang Pengtao couldn't look directly at the scene in front of him, and the crowd standing still almost blocked their way. Even the 'people' who had just been lucky enough to stand around the congestion were still a problem to get back to the warehouse, after all, they didn't know how they got to this corner.

"We're ...... now What to do? Zhou Xi's eyes couldn't take his eyes off the many 'people' who were standing.

According to the current situation, it seems that there are only 'people' standing in their corner. Crowded shelves, in front of the cash register and in the direction of the scattered positions on the road. Trying to get around these places and find food and water back to the warehouse is a great psychological challenge. At this time, Xu Wen even missed the darkness of a few minutes ago, and those unknown fears were not as good as not knowing.

"What else can I do? It's all come to this, we just need to be careful, and at the moment it seems that they are no threat to us. ”

As soon as Zhang Pengtao's words fell, he saw the head of a man standing in the distance fall to the ground, and everyone began to move with the sound of rolling. With the sound of a stop, everyone stopped walking. Xu Wen looked at the remaining blood stains on his hands, and after looking at Zhou Xi, he seemed to think of something.

"Zhou Xi, we seem to be at the cash register just now." Xu Wen's words seemed to wake up Zhang Pengtao.

When Xu Wen's feet cramped, he called for dozens of seconds, which is why there are many people standing at the cash register.

The three of them looked at each other, already knowing what they were going to do.
