Chapter 22: The Horror of the Mall

In a cold, damp space, pitch black. If there were lights at this time, you would definitely be able to see a zombie with pale skin and missing skin and flesh, constantly banging on the door. The zombie felt no pain, and despite the bloodstains on the door panels and the broken fingers of his hands, he continued the same movement tirelessly.

It was already half past two in the morning.

Lu Yang suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and he was awakened by this pain. "Damn, I must have eaten too much noodles and drank too much water at night." He fumbled out of the tent, carrying the dim electronic lantern, then picked up a few pieces of paper from the counter and walked towards the door of the sporting goods store.

The mall is huge, and although the rain outside has stopped, it is still windy from time to time. The slight whirring sound made him feel very frightened in his heart. But the pain in the stomach has surpassed any fear. The dark aisles, the shops with open doors on both sides, are no longer beautiful.

He carried the lantern and looked up at the sign, "Elevator, safety exit, toilet, toilet over here." He muttered quietly, but he didn't want to startle him at a clothing store on his right, and the cold model hanger in the window. He almost broke the lantern, but he stood up and spat at the foam, which was considered to be emboldening himself.

finally found the toilet, and Lu Yang carried the lantern to see that it was the men's toilet before entering. Hurriedly unbuttoned his pants, and finally poured out the bad feeling, he had never felt so comfortable. After squatting for about ten minutes, the light of the horse lantern was obviously dimmer, perhaps because the battery was about to run out. Lu Yang became flustered, although there were no other creatures in this mall except for his own group, but it didn't feel good to touch the tent back in the dark.

At the corner of the toilet, there is a passage with the words "underground garage" written on it. When Lu Yang first walked here, he faintly heard a slight sound. He is very timid, and when he encounters such a situation, logically speaking, he will definitely run away. But surprisingly, at this moment, he actually walked softly looking for the voice.

After a short walk through this exit, a staircase appears. The light of the lantern could only illuminate a small area, and the night was very dark, and despite the light, this damp staircase was like a deep demon's mouth. The sound is becoming more and more pronounced, and the tapping is very regular. "Could it be the other survivors?" Lu Yang thought to himself.

Probably due to the rain, the stairs leading to the underground garage were unusually wet, and the further down you went, the deeper the water grew. When I walked to the end, the water was up to ankle height. It may be a problem with engineering construction, or it may be a problem that some facilities are not managed after the outbreak of the zombie virus. A blistering, moldy fire door was vibrating with the sound of knocking.

"Who is it?" Lu Yang asked boldly, and the voice that came out of his voice startled him, and even his voice became hoarse due to excessive nervousness. The knocking on the door was regular, and it could never be the wind blowing or some other reason. Lu Yang tried to ask a few more times, but the other party didn't have to answer. He thought that it might be because of the heavy rain, plus the other party was injured, or he was afraid that the voice would attract zombies, so he didn't answer. If Zhang Zhao or Guo Rong were present now, they would never say a word, just run away.

Lu Yang went to open the door as if he had been hit by a magic barrier, and what appeared in front of him was a pale and dilapidated zombie face. Like a demon released from hell, the zombie saw the living person, immediately opened his mouth and roared, and pounced. Although Lu Yang is stupid, he can react in time when he encounters zombies, he subconsciously retreats, but he doesn't want to trip over something under his feet. It fell into the water with a pop, and the lantern fell into the water and went out. This is terrible, the zombies are desperately leaning on him, and he can almost smell the disgusting stench of corpses. Lu Yang screamed loudly, trying to raise his hands to resist the zombies' attack.

Just at the moment of life and death, a ray of light shone on the stairs, followed by a few dull gunshots, and the zombie head lying on Lu Yang's body blossomed. The zombie's brain shattered his face, and he hurriedly got up and ran up the stairs.

"I knew that you kid would do bad things, but I didn't expect you to be stupid." It was Donna's voice, and at this time he was holding a gun and firing it again and again, and everywhere the light went, there were zombies with headshots. Lu Yang looked at the light, and there was not a single car in the dark underground parking lot, but a dense crowd of zombies.

Attracted by the sound, the zombies who had been wandering or standing with their heads down all rushed to the staircase in a frenzy. It was raining outside, and the zombies around were all hiding in the underground parking lot, and at a glance, where the lights could reach, there were zombies of different shapes all over the body, and in the dark places, there were even more human figures.

"Hurry up!" Donna shouted, the assault gun in her hand changed from burst fire to strafing mode. The zombies don't move very fast, but because there are more of them, they try to destroy as many as they can before they go up the stairs to buy more time.

Lu Yang was exerting his full potential at this time, running up desperately, and when the two of them ran near the toilet, they happened to run into Zhang Zhao and them who rushed over.

"What's the situation?"

"Quick, find something to block this door, there are zombies down there."

Hearing the word zombie, everyone who was still half-asleep suddenly woke up as if they had been struck by lightning. I rushed to the shop next to me and piled everything that could be moved. The zombie group has chased to the door, and since this door is double-open, one is closed, and the other is still open in a hurry. I can't care so much, what tables, stools, chairs, everything, everything is piled up here.

Enraged zombies, use their bodies to hit obstacles. Donna and Li Zijing returned fire with the guns in their hands. Under the impact of waves of zombies, the obstacles were obviously loosened. Fortunately, the exit is not large, and it can be blocked back immediately. Someone shot the zombies on one side, and the people behind them moved things one after another, and half an hour passed, and the entire passage was almost full.

I don't know how many waves the zombies have impacted, and when they see that they can't break through the obstacles, they slowly dissipate. Occasionally, you can hear zombies banging on the door, but it doesn't have much impact. Donna climbed onto the obstacle and used her tactical flashlight to check the exit, where several pairs of eroded arms came in, dancing.

"It's nothing, go find some light sources, light up this place clearly, and I'll keep vigil with Brother Li tonight." Donna checked the firearm and got down from it.

Zhang Zhao was also confused by this sudden thrilling scene, "What's wrong?" How can so many zombies appear. ”

"Looking at this formation, it is estimated that there are no less than a few hundred." Guo Rong lit a cigarette and frowned. The underground parking lot is wide, and there are no less than a thousand zombies hiding underneath. If everyone knew that there were so many zombies down there, no one would be able to sleep soundly tonight.

Lu Yang was like a child who had done something wrong, hiding with his head down, all of this just now was his own experience, the close contact of zombies made his heart and body still tremble. If Donna hadn't arrived in time, she would have been torn apart by the zombies just now.

Lu Yang said timidly: "I thought, I thought there were survivors below." ”

"You're special!" Guo Rong knocked Lu Yang down with a punch, and said angrily: "Are you a pig?" Why did you almost kill everyone, survivor? Survivor, your sister! "I was so angry in my heart that I couldn't use more words to scold this brainless idiot in front of me. Normal people's thoughts would not be silent at all to open the door, and Guo Rong's aggrieved anger finally broke out.

None of the people present tried to dissuade them. Zhang Zhao wanted to say something, wanted to stop it, but he also stopped the movement of his hand. Guo Rong was furious and lost his mind a little. He knocked Lu Yang down, kicked a few more times, and swore a lot of dirty words in his mouth. After a few beatings, he was also tired, and pointed at Lu Yang and scolded viciously: "You will fuck me off tomorrow, you grandson, we will be killed by you sooner or later." Why are you pretending to be innocent, who will pity you? Who? You're a piece of without us, and you think you'll survive a day out there! ”

Lu Yang's beaten head shrunk into a ball, and he didn't resist, not even crying. Afraid of being damaged by Guo Rong, Han Yue stepped forward to stop it, although Guo Rong stopped, he threw his hat on the ground, scolded and left by himself.

Among the people present, except for Song Qing, who went to take care of Linlin, the others did not react when they saw Zhang Zhao, and no one dared to go up to help Lu Yang. In the end, Zhang Zhao relented and squatted beside Lu Yang, seeing that although he was beaten, Guo Rong did not attack the vital point, and there was no big problem. Now it is not suitable to have any sympathetic actions, Zhang Zhao lit a cigarette, stuffed it into Lu Yang's mouth, and said, "Do you know why he beat you so hard?" ”

Lu Yang was obviously not used to the smell of smoke, coughed a few times, and shook his head. He got up from the ground on his own and sat there, and this time, surprisingly, not a single tear was shed. He doesn't smoke, but the cigarette in his hand now, the smoke coming out, can help him relieve pain and calm down.

Zhang Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "He beat you because your behavior today can really be described as mentally retarded." Besides, he's right, I'll give you another chance, and if you make this kind of mistake next time, it's not that we'll kick you out of the team, but it's very likely, if you lose your own life, you'll lose our lives, you know? ”

Lu Yang thought about everything, and Zhang Zhao said: "Everyone lives to live, so although we are a team, there is no reason to lose our lives for anyone." If you want to live, you must live like a man, otherwise, there is no other way but death. ”

dismissed everyone, Zhang Zhao took Li Yan to mash out all the lamps and lanterns in the outdoor goods store and open up this obstacle. The entire exit is illuminated. Donna and Li Zijing, on the other hand, sat opposite the exit with guns in their hands. As long as there is any movement, they will not hesitate to shoot.

With the two of them keeping vigil, Zhang Zhao is much more relieved, tonight, there must be some people who can't sleep.

Guo Rong didn't know where he and Han Yue had gone, and there was no trace of them in the tent. Zhang Zhao smiled, and Li Yan beside him asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Looks like someone's going to open meat tonight." Zhang Zhao smiled evilly.

"Go, go, go." Li Yan looked coquettish, suggesting that Zhang Zhao go upstairs, but he was excused off on the excuse that he was too tired.

Although she was a little disappointed, she still followed Zhang Zhao and rested in the car.
