Chapter 27: The Cave
We were inside the house, mostly waiting for death.
The Scar team did their best along the way and didn't leave us behind, which is a good sign.
Scar was going to take us back the way we came, find the hairy path we came from, and climb back to the top of the mountain.
But not long after running towards the 'ladder', a large number of zombies poured in from all directions.
That's a lot! Jaw-dropping!
I don't know where it came from, and it all poured into the streets.
Even though the sky was dark, there was a little warm sunlight shining on them, and they seemed to be in pain, scratching around their bodies, but they seemed to be attracted by the rumbling sound from the sky, so they staggered in that direction desperately.
Their speed is no longer blindly sluggish, as if stimulated, they howl violently, and their steps are getting faster and faster, and some even trot.
As more and more zombies appear in view, accompanied by their terrifying roars, Scar reacts very quickly and leads us to hide in a building.
It was a tall building, and the forensic doctor deftly pried the door open, and we all dodged in.
I don't know if the building is safe, the army of zombies on the street, not interested in us at all, they go straight in the direction of the hole in the sky.
Sure that the danger outside the door was no longer a threat, we cautiously took our weapons, looked back at the dark first-floor hall, and pricked up our ears to listen.
The black hole is empty, and there is no sound at all.
The soundproofing in this building is just as strong, and the whistling and roaring sounds outside the building no longer exist.
Scar lit up a glitter stick and threw it into the darkness.
'Whoosh-' the glitter band slashed across the huge, messy hall......
"Ah——!h A zombie was lying on the ground, it used to be a woman, wearing a navy blue bodysuit, and because of the sudden light, it quickly stood up and ran towards us.
It grinned wide, its teeth and claws.
Several fierce gunshots rang out, and it fell to the ground.
We didn't put down our guns, but continued to aim in other directions, not missing any corners.
It's quiet, there's nothing.
After a while, there was a ticking sound behind us.
Lu Xu's ...... Ay. Let's find a place to change your pants in a moment!
I patted him on the shoulder, and everyone slowly began to move, but they all hugged each other tightly.
After making sure that every corner of the first floor was safe, we decided to go to the upper floor to rest.
As the saying goes, standing tall and looking far away, we need to understand what is really going on outside, and going upstairs is a must.
For now, we should find a safe place to put things in order, and then think about the long term.
But this building is so high, and our luggage is cumbersome, and if we climb the stairs, it will be a headache to think about......
Cangtu looked at our group of people, as if he had the same concerns as me. He was already standing at the top of the stairs, ready to lead people to clean up the zombies layer by layer.
The king stood behind a dark desk, studying something.
I was about to ask him what he was looking at, but he said, "Forensic doctor, please come here." ”
The forensic doctor turned his head in response and looked at Wang Yi suspiciously.
"There's a lock here, can you help open it?"
The medical examiner looked at the scar and, after getting permission, went behind the black table.
When we heard that there was a lock, we all went up.
It's a console-like table, empty, nothing, but under the table, there's a panel, and it's hard to spot if you don't look closely, there's a small keyhole.
Wang Yiyi's heart is really fine.
The forensic doctor took out a small bag, which was his professional lockpicking tool, he tried back and forth many times, big sticks, small needles, several times, no effect.
"It's hard to get that effort, just blast it away." I said.
"No, it's full of sophisticated instruments, and one of them will break if you're not careful." Wang shook his head.
How does he know what's in there?
This king is not small......
I was wondering, and with a click, the medical examiner opened the little cabinet.
The king went in one by one, and after a little tinkering, the table lit up.
In an instant, all kinds of instruments, all kinds of control buttons, all appeared.
The lights in the hall flickered and flickered, and then they all came on.
Wang Yiyi pressed a few times on the table, and the elevator 'ding', and then the music sounded.
This series of amazing operations, our group was almost scared, and we all turned around, and the weapons in our hands were instantly picked up and aimed at the elevator.
The elevator door opened, and an elegant female voice said: "@#¥%*&%. ”
What the?
The female voice spoke a strange language that we had never heard before, and we all looked at each other.
Dr. Gao looked at Wang Yiyi with an almost adoring look and asked, "How did you do that?" ”
Wang Yi shrugged, and grinned in the face of our inquiry, for the first time in many days, he had regained his arrogant and frivolous appearance, and he had not seen this expression for a long time, but it was also a little kind, although still very inflated.
"I'm good at mechanics, isn't it?" He said.
At the moment, no one is chasing whether he is an engineering tyrant or not, and we are all a little surprised and relieved in the face of the elevator and the sudden electricity.
Scar told us to wait in the lobby on the first floor, and he took two European blonde men into the elevator to make a round.
After they went upstairs, Ning Alcohol began to sigh at the zombie tide outside the window.
"What's going on, good man, what's like this." Maybe it's because he's older and has experienced a lot, but he did a lot better than I expected to accept such a scene.
I patted Lu Xu on the shoulder, he was squatting behind a pillar, his shoulder twitching, seeing that I was coming, grabbed my hand.
"Dayang, I shouldn't have dragged you here, you blame me." He said with a twitch, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Cheer up." I comforted him, "Why do I blame you?" You don't know me yet? If I really don't want to come, who can say that I will be moved? ”
His brown eyes were fixed on my face, as if trying to see if I was lying.
"You really don't blame me? Can we still get out? He asked, almost in a whisper, in a very eager tone, as if he were anxious to verify it, but as if it were a sin to ask it out loud, he asked me quietly.
To be honest, I didn't think about it.
There's no time for me to think about it.
Weird and terrifying things happened one after another, and it was very different from what we expected before we set off!
I thought it was a sightseeing tour, and by the way, I could help Ling Long avoid some dangers, but I didn't expect it, Luo Yang Luo Yang, you just came out of the tiger's den and fell into the wolf's den.
Let's not talk about any bizarre scenes, just the zombies alone are already unbelievable enough!
I'm so glad I had two extra backpacks of armed equipment.
But suddenly another hole appeared on this day, what was the thing flying out of it?
How could the world suddenly ......
Like the end of the world!
Isn't this the end times? Human civilization has come to an end!
I shook my head, trying to shake off the ridiculous idea.
Lu Xu looked at me like this, sighed heavily, as if he wanted to calm his mood.
Seeing that he is usually very aggressive, but when he encounters this incident, why is he so cowardly, I almost wonder if he is an old man after all.
I comforted him a few more words and told him not to think too much.
It can be seen that Dr. Gao and Sister Ping, after a strong psychological struggle, finally approached the beaten female zombie under the care of the forensic doctor.
There was no unpleasant smell in the room, but as soon as you got close to the puddle of flesh on the ground, the smell of rotting came to your face.
It's the smell of rot that permeates the whole city!
We watched as Dr. Gao carefully collected some samples from the zombies, put them into small utensils, and put them away with him, he moved cautiously, as if he was afraid of coming into contact with these things.
However, the route of transmission is still uncertain, and this female zombie is lying here like this, and for us, there is indeed a danger of being infected.
"Is it contact or bodily fluids?" I don't know who Sister Ping is asking, maybe it's talking to herself.
"If it's airborne, it's over." Lu Xu was a little pessimistic, "Who knows if there is an incubation period......"
"Maybe it doesn't have to be a virus. Don't think about it so much. I interrupted them and looked at the elevator.
Scar they came back and made an OK gesture to us.
That's great!
We entered the elevator and were led by Scar to the top 27th floor.
As soon as the elevator opened, there was a hallway, with a soft carpet on the floor, and four rooms on either side, facing a sturdy-looking metal door, tightly closed.
"There's not a lot of space here, there are exactly four suites, you can allocate them." Scar pointed to the metal door, "That's the one that leads to the rooftop, you two come with me." He pointed to me and the king, and then walked towards the metal door.
Ling Long's hand that was holding my arm tightly loosened, and now that Scar had checked the security of the room, she looked much more relaxed.
I motioned for her to find a room to rest first, and went to the rooftop with Wang Yiyi.
After the metal door opened heavily, a deafening roar was heard.
All kinds of noises were endless, and the big hole in the sky seemed to no longer spread, it covered most of the city's sky, and the metal light points flying out of it exploded in the sky above the city, like fireworks.
The rooftop was not very large, empty, and there was nothing left except a few bucket-thick metal pipes.
I approached the low fence at the edge of the roof to see what was going on downstairs.
The tide of zombies had already gone far along the wide road, and the surrounding roads were scattered with zombies, howling.
Looking at this scene, the word 'doomsday' appeared in my mind again.
No matter how the world survives, at least we are basically hopeless......
I thought a little pessimistically.
Scar handed me a telescope and motioned for me to look at the hole.
I looked along and realized that the point of light that flew out of the cave was actually an elliptical sphere, with a layer of shimmer attached to the surface, and it flew out of the hole at an extremely fast speed, and exploded again in the sky near the city, turning into a cloud of gray-black and red-glowing smoke.
No wonder it looks a little like fireworks.
But what is it?
I stared at an elliptical sphere again, and I noticed that there was not only one other flying object in the air, but another ......
It is clear that it is a product of human civilization!
I know that thing!
Although it is more developed than I know, there is too much cash, but the fighter, I always know!
I looked down the ground!
A whole huge and magnificent military base!
It's so advanced, and a lot of devices I don't know are arranged in a transparent dome!
Air defense systems are bombarding the metal balls that are falling from the sky, and the buggy-looking fighter jets are rising from the dome in rows, anti-aircraft missile-like devices, stretching out their long, thick barrels and pointing straight into the big hole in the blue sky......
What's going on?
In this city, are there humans?
