Chapter Forty-Eight: Mutant Cockroaches
"What's wrong with Brother Xiao, where are we now, isn't the situation outside optimistic!?"
Yang Xiao, who was climbing on the iron ladder, gently pushed open the manhole cover, timidly poked half of his head out, and quickly scanned the entire devastated street.
The hazy sky was dull, and the earth was like hell on earth. There is no strong sun, no pleasant breeze, and a large steamer, which is so hot that people are a little breathless.
Everyone walked in the sewers for several hours, and it was already hot noon, and a hot air squirmed in the city, and a few snoring snores of zombies could be faintly heard, and the atmosphere became extremely strange.
"I fainted to death, why did I pass by Red Star Street inexplicably! We're in an urban village right now. ”
Yang Xiao scolded in a low voice, looking at the dwarf old houses in front of him, there were a few zombies shaking their heads scattered around, and the urban village that was once full of people was now dead silent, and many stalls were overturned on the streets.
It may be that the weather is too hot, and even the zombies have become lazy, shaking the head of a dead man and standing motionless, the heat evaporating the fat oil from the body cortex, and the air is filled with a foul smell.
"How can this be, didn't you just say that Red Star Street is nearby, it's so annoying! What's the situation out there, are there many zombies!? ”
In the sewer, Wu Xiaojing was very irritable and leaned over her pretty face, and asked in a low voice with some anxiety.
Yang Xiao counted the zombies nearby, no more, no less, exactly ten, although the number was not as large as the urban area, but it was still enough to choke.
"I don't know where the sewers went, there are ten zombies around here, I just don't know how many zombies there are along the way. Brother Xiong, didn't there be an exit from the manhole cover on Hongxing Street all the way just now? Yang Xiao complained.
Ye Zhenxiong nodded heavily: "There is indeed no other exit, and several of the ones we are looking for are far away from Hongxing Street." ”
". I don't know who designed this sewer, it should really be pulled to shoot the target! The road is impassable! ”
Yang Xiao gently covered the manhole cover, jumped into the sewage in confusion, and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Everyone's heads went dark, and the sewers returned to their previous gloomy darkness.
"Let's discuss it first, what should we do now, do we continue to look for other exits, or do we kill them?"
Faced with Yang Xiao's question, in the dark sewer, everyone was silent, glanced at each other, and the atmosphere was silent for a few seconds.
"I don't care, now I'm worried about the situation of Yiyi and Sister Yu, how far is Xiao Xiao from Hongxing Street when he gets out of here?"
Wu Xiaojing frowned, and couldn't help but look up at the mouth of the manhole cover, staying in the dark for a long time, feeling very uncomfortable.
Yang Xiao sighed, moved his gaze to Shen Mingyu and said, "I analyzed it just now, this place shouldn't be very far from Hongxing Street, probably only one mile away." It's just that I'm a little worried, Shen Mingyu, how is your body now, do you feel better? ”
Shen Mingyu, who was inhaling an oxygen cylinder, had obviously recovered her physical strength and spirit after a few hours, but her physical condition was a little tired, which made her feel heavy on her hands and feet. But Shen Mingyu, who was born to be strong, obviously didn't want to drag everyone down, so he nodded stubbornly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm much better."
"It's true, I saw you gasping for breath just now, are you sure you're okay?"
Yang Xiao said suspiciously, staring at Shen Mingyu's beautiful face, making Shen Mingyu like a child whose lies had been exposed, and couldn't help biting his lip.
"It's okay, you just decide, I'll follow you."
Shen Mingyu still responded stubbornly. Yang Xiao knew that this woman was naturally stubborn, and it was difficult to say anything. But life is not child's play, Yang Xiao can't just rashly take everyone out to die! Half-ringing, Yang Xiao looked at the mouth of the manhole cover, if it is killed, who knows what will happen to the one-kilometer road, but if it is not killed, in this gloomy little waterway, when will it end?
In the sewer with a serious atmosphere, Yi Yi leaned on Shen Mingyu without saying a word the whole time, her pitiful little face frowned, and she trembled with fear when she thought of the hideous face of the zombie.
At this moment, when everyone was unsure of their minds, Ye Zhenxiong spoke.
"I don't think it's better like this, since Brother Xiao said that this place is not far from Hongxing Street, while it's not dark yet, let's look for the sewer and see if we can find the exit of Hongxing Street." If there is no exit, we will kill it, what do you think? ”
Ye Zhenxiong's words were extremely neutral, and after hesitating for a moment, Wu Xiaojing, Shen Mingyu, and Yi Yi all felt that the idea was good. But Yang Xiao frowned, and said something inappropriate, waking up everyone's sweet dreams.
"It's a good idea, but you haven't noticed that the storage of oxygen cylinders is running out, if we continue to look for a way out in the sewers, and when the oxygen cylinders are depleted, no matter how many zombies there are, we will kill them, you have to think about it."
Everyone looked at the oxygen cylinder, only to see that the oxygen storage on the value table had reached the red line, and I was afraid that the strong support could only last for about half an hour, which made everyone's expressions sink.
"I still have a little storage here, and everyone should be able to sustain it for an hour by taking turns." Shen Mingyu took off the oxygen mask and said.
Seeing that Shen Mingyu was so selfless, Yi Yi was extremely moved and shouted: "Sister Yu......"
Yang Xiao didn't expect everyone to be so determined, since everyone was determined not to give up hope, he didn't want to say anything, and said after taking a deep breath: "Then since this is the case, let's continue on the road." Although the reserves of oxygen cylinders are not much, it should not be a problem for everyone to change and suck and gain time to look ahead, but it is really not possible to return the same way! ”
Listening to these inspiring words, everyone nodded in unison, sorted out their emotions, and embarked on the journey of hope again! Hunched over and strolling down the sewers......
The sound of rustling water waves, the dark sewers, several figures lined up, one foot deep and one foot shallow in the sewage, and countless ripples in the place illuminated by the mobile phone flashlight, swaying throughout the sewer.
The sewer pipes at this end of the urban village are obviously different from the urban area, and everyone walks and walks, and they obviously feel that they are gradually becoming spacious, although the surroundings are still damp and dark, but the space is not so occluded, and there is no need to hook the waist and feet and use the cat's legs to move forward, which makes people move but stretch a lot.
"The sewers in this urban village are so spacious! How did the presidential room, which looks like a five-star hotel, suddenly become so spacious!? Yang Xiao frowned and teased. Years of experience have taught me that this sewer is anything but simple.
"You found it too!? I also think, unlike the place we just walked, is this the road leading to somewhere? Shen Mingyu also felt that something was wrong, and said suspiciously.
"I don't know, anyway, everyone be careful, the height space here can completely accommodate zombies. I'm afraid there should be some kind of entertainment here. ”
"Place? What venue? ”
"Casinos or something, I'm not sure. In the past, the owners of some large casinos would set up casinos near sewers, so that if there was a police inspector to check the field, they could arrange for people to leave through the dark tunnel, and the secret tunnel was directly connected to the sewer. Although Yang Xiao didn't know much about it, he had heard others talk about it somewhat, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"Is there anything else you do?"
Ye Zhenxiong carried a large bag of food, followed behind Yang Xiao and nodded undoubtedly, and said: "There is indeed such a thing, I have also heard of it, it seems that this sewer should be eight or nine without leaving ten." ”
A few people looked at the dark sewer, and couldn't help but be full of longing and fear ahead, longing to find a new exit, afraid to worry that a large number of zombies were waiting for them ahead!
Just as everyone was squinting at the head, suddenly a series of "rustling" sounds sounded, like insects "flapping their wings"! made everyone's faces sink fiercely, 100,000 question marks popped out of their heads, and they took a mobile phone flashlight to shine back and forth in front of them.
"What sound!? Did you hear that!? ”
"I. I. I heard ......," Yi replied first.
Everyone looked at each other, all frightened by the sound from far to near, Shen Mingyu's face turned pale and hurriedly said: "Could it be really like what you said, there is a casino in front of it, and there is a living corpse over there!?" ”
"No way, a living corpse wouldn't sound like that." Wu Xiaojing pricked up her ears and listened carefully, and as the sound got closer and closer, everyone felt a strange aura and listened to this terrible sound.
In the passage, everyone was silent, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other with ears pricked up.
When Wu Xiaojing gradually saw what the sound was from the dim sewer, suddenly the whole delicate body jumped up in fright, and she took a sharp breath as if her soul was separated!
"Cockroaches! It's a cockroach!! ”
"What! Cockroach! Where there are cockroaches, I am most afraid of cockroaches!! When Yi Yi heard the cockroach, his voice was hoarse with fright, and he screamed to tear his vocal cords, and his expression was more exaggerated than seeing a zombie.
Don't say I don't know, as soon as I say that Yang Xiao really feels it, this squirming sound is the female cockroach flapping its wings! And the most pest in the south, that's undoubtedly this thing!
Yang Xiao's eyes suddenly burst out, at first glance! There was a loud noise in front of the sewers, accompanied by a foul smell, and thousands of cockroaches swarmed up! Like a rolling tide! A pair of blood-red eyes are like hundreds of millions of little stars twinkling in the night sky, but these blood-red little stars make people suffocate and their scalps tingle!
"Ah!! ……”
Yi Yi was so frightened that she ran away, Shen Mingyu and Wu Xiaojing may have been too frightened, and they were stunned and almost fainted, and their pretty faces were dead! I'm afraid the two little ladies have never seen such a huge swarm of cockroaches in their lives! And these cockroaches are obviously much larger than ordinary cockroaches, and each one is like a big fat man who has eaten and drunk enough, and the body size is as big as a mouse!
"! Let's get out of here!! ”
Yang Xiao's eyes were about to jump out, tearing his throat and roaring. These cockroaches in front of them are obviously infected by the virus, all of them have red eyes, and they look as if they want to swallow them alive! As for how these cockroaches were infected, I can't help but know, I'm afraid it was caused by eating the carrion of zombies!
"Run!!"
Yang Xiao roared in shock, pulled Shen Mingyu and Wu Xiaojing, who were stunned on the spot, and galloped up, their legs like a V12 engine! Ye Zhenxiong, an iron man, was stunned for two seconds in the face of such a huge group of cockroaches, and found that Yang Xiao slipped faster than a dog in the blink of an eye, and ran more than ten meters away with the two girls.
Seeing that cockroach "black tide" surging in, the speed is as fast as the wind and clouds, and the overwhelming momentum is pressing! Ye Zhenxiong gritted his teeth and raised his throat, and quickly turned around and followed the slippery person! In this case, a fool will stay and fight hard! If you fight hard with these cockroaches, I'm afraid that you will be bitten in less than three seconds, and you don't even know your mother, who knows if these cockroaches have a virus, and you can walk with zombies with a bite!
