Chapter 6: The Boy in the Basement
Luke glanced at Zhang Cheng, took the wine glass, drank it all, the stimulation of the alcohol made him frown, and then slowly relaxed, his face eased a lot, after drinking, he stretched out his right hand and said, "It's nice to see you, my name is Luke." ”
Zhang Cheng shook hands with him and gave his name.
Luke sat next to Zhang Cheng, glanced at the surroundings, and it was obvious that the scattered clothes proved that this bar had also been invaded by shadows, and asked vigilantly, "You don't seem to have portable flashlights, so how did you get here?" ”
"Oh! We happened to have a small bonfire on the roof of the building opposite, and the whole world went dark, and after losing a few of our companions, we realized that only light could resist the damn thing. After dawn, we noticed that the signboard was on, so we came over. Zhang Cheng gave a pre-made reason, his expression showing the pain of losing his companion, and the fact that everyone in the bar was yellow-skinned, reminiscent of the Chinese sorority they were holding at the time of the disaster.
"Oh! It's so unfortunate. Apparently Luke believed everything Zhang Cheng said.
At this time, the lights of the entire bar suddenly flickered, and it seemed that the generator did not have enough fuel.
"Have you checked that generator?" Luke asked.
Zhang Cheng shook his head and said no. Luke stood up and walked towards the basement where the noise was made, Zhang Cheng following him.
Pushing open the basement door, the sound of the generator suddenly became even louder, and Zhang Cheng felt his temples beat with it. Walking down the tattered steps, Zhang Cheng found that there were several disorganized shelves in the entire basement, and a generator covered with oil stains was spewing hot air in the middle of the open space, making a sound as if a person's throat was stuck, and there were several red diesel empty barrels scattered on the ground around him, and the incandescent lamp above the generator was flickering on and off, as if it was going to be extinguished at any time.
Luke walked over to the generator, picked up the red bucket and shook it a few times, and found that the diesel fuel in it had been used up, and then he adjusted the diesel generator, and the sound of the generator suddenly became coherent and loud, and the incandescent light above it no longer flickered, and became brighter.
"I increased the horsepower of the generator, so that although it would ensure that the generator would not go out, the fuel consumption would also be accelerated, and I don't think this generator would last long." Luke turned to Zhang Cheng, who was checking the shelves, and said.
"All the barrels here are empty, but there are a few!" Zhang Cheng played with a flashlight, although this thing is usually useless, but it is a life-saving thing in this horror movie.
"Don't move! Hands up! Then a voice suddenly came from the corner.
Zhang Cheng and Luke looked towards the corner and found a man with a shotgun pointed at them, the light did not illuminate his appearance, seeing that he was very short, Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that this person was the last boy to survive in the original plot.
Zhang Cheng shot the light of the flashlight at the man's face, the face was really a black boy, the sudden light was very dazzling, the boy covered his eyes with his hands, and shouted angrily: "Take off the flashlight, or I will shoot." ”
While shining the flashlight on the boy, Zhang Chengyi leaned over, took a step forward and slammed it, pushing the gun in the boy's hand to the side, the panicked boy pulled the trigger, but the strong recoil made the boy's weak body lean back, and Zhang Cheng took the shotgun.
When the gunshot rang out, Luke immediately squatted down and hugged his head, and when he saw that Zhang Cheng had taken the shotgun down, he complained, "Hey! Friend, you're too dangerous! ”
Zhang Cheng controlled his movement speed just now, not very fast, ordinary people can do it, but it is a little difficult for ordinary people to overcome their fear of guns to grab guns, so Luke just regarded Zhang Cheng as a reckless person who did things without thinking, and did not suspect anything.
When Zhang Cheng snatched the gun, he hugged the boy with his hand to prevent him from falling and hurting because of the panic escape, but the boy did not appreciate it, and struggled desperately to kick and beat to break free from Zhang Cheng's control.
"Kid! We're not going to hurt you, okay! Don't move! But the boy struggled hard.
"That's it!" Finding that the persuasion was ineffective, Zhang Cheng roared angrily, and the boy immediately stopped struggling and looked at Zhang Cheng and Luke in horror.
"Listen, kid, we won't hurt you, we're just survivors like you, and I don't think you want to be left alone in this world. I'm going to let go, okay? Calm down! After saying that, Zhang Cheng slowly let go of his hand, and the boy suddenly took a step back, his eyes full of vigilance, but seeing that Zhang Cheng and Luke didn't move, just stood there and looked at himself, and gradually he relaxed.
Seeing that the boy finally calmed down, Zhang Cheng said: "My name is Zhang Cheng, this is Luke, what is your name?" ”
There was fear in the boy's eyes, and he did not answer Zhang Cheng's question.
"What's your name?" Zhang Cheng raised his voice again and asked.
"I ...... My name is James. The boy finally began to cooperate.
"Okay, James, we're going to go up there, there are a lot of survivors up there, and there are kids about your age, let's go." Zhang Cheng felt that this James was only over 10 years old, and he should be about the same age as Murong Wei.
Hearing that there were survivors of the same age as himself, the vigilance in James's eyes was obviously much lighter, Zhang Cheng hung the shotgun on his shoulder, picked up the flashlight on the shelf, and walked towards the stairs.
Coming out of the basement, James's appearance did not surprise everyone, on the contrary, the black boy was a little uncomfortable to see so many people on it, but these people looked like ordinary people, and their skin color was yellow, which made James feel at ease in this country with more racial discrimination.
"Oops! The generator doesn't seem to last long. Although everyone upstairs knew about it, Zhang Cheng still shouted out the situation as soon as he came up, and the main purpose of this was to logically put forward the idea of leaving the bar, after all, only Luke had the car keys.
"Oh my God! So what can I do? Long Cen's desperate eyes were quite expressive, and Mu Yi on the side almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Friend, is there any way for you to get out of here?" Zhang Cheng asked at Luke.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Luke was a little overwhelmed.
