Chapter 16 Cleaning up the mall
The atmosphere was very deadlocked.
Far away, An Li could clearly see the obvious disappointment and disgust on the middle-aged officer's face.
She guessed that at this moment, he must have wanted to abandon these people and leave with his own soldiers, but he didn't move because of his military uniform.
She took the last sip of milk, flattened the carton and tossed it aside, and stood up.
"Chief."
She walked up to the middle-aged officer.
An Li's face is undoubtedly attractive, and when everyone is arguing, she suddenly stands up and suddenly becomes the focus.
The middle-aged officer looked at her condescendingly.
An Li was not disturbed by his momentum at all, and said calmly, "Chief, I am An Li, it's a pity that I don't have the ability to awaken, just an ordinary person, but I can't get over my conscience by completely entrusting my life to others to guard." Although I am an ordinary person, I feel that I can also make a difference with a knife. ”
As she spoke, she took off the Tang knife behind her and hugged it to her chest.
The middle-aged officer looked at her quietly.
The girl doesn't know what she has experienced, she has a scarred face, ugly to the extreme, but she has a pair of beautiful eyes, black is black, white is white, it is a pair of very pure eyes. There is no emotion in it, calm, calm.
She's not joking, she's serious.
This is a thin girl, but at this moment, she is a hundred times more gentleman than the men present who are clamoring that soldiers are born to protect ordinary people.
I don't know if those cowards will be ashamed to look at this little girl.
She didn't know that she only knew that after she said this, the noisy crowd behind her had quieted down.
The chief took a deep breath and said, "Girl, you are very courageous, much more courageous than those people. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the crowd and said coldly: "Even an unarmed ordinary little girl is so brave, but you people with extraordinary abilities are like this, you only know how to hide behind others and ask for protection, are you ashamed?" Does your face hurt? ”
"Soldiers take it as their duty to protect the people, but their lives are also their lives, why should others shed blood and sacrifice for you and not get a little gratitude from you?"
"It's the end of the world!"
"In the past few days, you have been protected too well, and you may not be particularly clear about the concept of the end times. It would have been inappropriate to say what was going on, but let me tell you about it now. ”
"This is a global catastrophe, and the whole country, and even the whole world, has completely fallen. Do you understand what that means? It seems to me that you don't know. ”
"It means that human society has completely collapsed!"
"The laws and regulations, the moral laws that you rely on and depend on, no longer exist."
"Now, I have come with my soldiers to save you, and please remember that this is the first favor you owe after the last days, this is not your duty, this is the kindness they have given you with their lives! Remember it all clearly for Lao Tzu! ”
"This is the truth, it may take you two days to understand, but Lao Tzu will tell you now!"
"Now I declare that all the Adepts have joined the Guardians. Ordinary people, do a good job of logistics. Everyone has a role to play in protecting everyone, including yourselves. ”
"If you don't obey orders, please get out of my team from now on, my soldiers will not protect the ungrateful white-eyed wolf, nor the cowardly coward!"
The middle-aged officer's voice was like a bell, and after a few words, he successfully suppressed the group of people who were still arrogant just now.
People are often bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and when people are really serious, few people dare to be as rampant as just now.
In particular, after the chief's speech, there was a paranormal who was not afraid of death and was thrown out of the square by several soldiers on the spot. So the rest wilted.
Some people learn to be obedient only when they are in power.
In the end, no one left, and in this apocalypse, you can live long with the crowd, so in the end, all the supernatural people joined in, either willingly or unwillingly.
That night, they spent the night in the mall behind the square.
Because it was late at night when the apocalypse broke out, there weren't too many zombies in the mall, and the soldiers with guns and the paranormal people who formed a temporary escort team went to clean up.
An Li thought about it and followed with a knife.
Afterwards, the chief came to talk to her and told her that she was an ordinary person, and she didn't need to fight so hard, and there were soldiers and strangers in front of her to take the lead.
An Li thought about it, but still insisted on her opinion.
In her mind, she is used to self-reliance, and she is very unaccustomed to coldly handing over her net worth and life to others, and sometimes, protection is also a kind of bondage, which will make her feel unconfident at some point.
She didn't like it.
To be honest, she thinks that those zombie monsters are actually not so scary, except that they look like horror movies, but in fact, most of them lack arms and legs, move slowly, and their five senses are not sharp, as long as their eyes are fast and their strength is enough, they are not invincible.
The only trouble is that if you get scratched, you will get infected.
But Anli didn't have this trouble, so she dared to stand up.
But the chief in front of her was obviously better than the female officer, and An Li did not give up this opportunity, she asked for a pistol she had handed in.
In the evening, it was not yet dark.
"Clear the first floor of the mall, except for a safe passage, all the doors to the other floors are blocked."
An Li followed behind Yue Wen.
The team that came in to search was the majority.
Although they are superpowers, in fact, everyone's abilities are not very strong, so these people don't look as calm as An Li.
The mall had lost power, and it was pitch black inside, and they each had a flashlight and climbed up the elevator to the fifth floor.
An Li walked in the middle, she didn't hold a flashlight, but held the Tang knife that was already out of the sheath in both hands.
It's a good knife, sharp, but also heavy, and Anli can only swing it freely if he clenches it with both hands.
The mall was silent, there was not a single sound, only the whispering of the crowd outside.
"Don't be afraid, the end of the world broke out in the early hours of the morning, and the mall had already closed at that time, so there shouldn't be many zombies here."
Said the soldier walking in front.
They searched storefronts on the first floor, storefronts by storefront, and after a circle, they didn't see a single zombie.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, not seeing the zombies was the best outcome.
After a search, the team divided into several waves, each heading to several safe passages, escalators, etc.
All they had to do was seal off all the stairs so that zombies wouldn't come down the stairs a few floors up.
An Liyuewen and the others walked to the escalator of the mall.
Generally, most of the places where escalators are built in shopping malls are in the middle of the block.
The ceiling of the top floor can be seen from the first floor, and the middle floors are separated by a fence.
An Li looked up, and when the flashlight shone up, she could see the guardrail on the fifth floor.
She looked around, and there was always a faint worry in her heart.
With the exception of a few female paraphiles, gay men have already begun to move, smashing open a warehouse in the mall, moving the boxes inside, and blocking the entrance of the escalator.
"What if there are zombies up there and you smell the people below, and you jump down from the building?" An Li thought about it and asked.
"It's fine." A soldier turned his head and reassured, "The stairs that should be blocked are blocked, even if there are zombies on it, jumping down such a high floor, your legs should be lame, maybe you will hang up directly, it doesn't matter." ”
Before his words fell, An Li was just about to retort: What if zombies are different from ordinary humans?
Then I heard a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"it."
Many people were startled by this cold noise.
The light of a dozen flashlights swept towards the source of the sound.
I saw a zombie lying on the ground, it fell from some floor, and the ground was full of dirty blood.
The place where the zombie landed was closest to the soldier who had just spoken, and there were even a few drops of splattered blood on his face.
He reflexively jumped backwards in fright.
However, immediately after calming down, the zombies in front of him were smashed all over the place, and their arms and legs were weirdly twisted.
As he said, he has fallen lame.
Suddenly, Yue Wen's pupils shrank, and he blurted out in exclamation:
"Be careful!"
At that moment, the zombie on the ground that should have fallen lame suddenly bowed down and crawled up, and then scratched the leg of the soldier closest to it with a claw.
That soldier was just an ordinary person who hadn't awakened the ability, and he used to fight zombies by relying on the gun in his hand, but everything that was happening now was between the calcium carbide sparks, and he didn't have time to react at all.
If this is scratched with a claw, he is afraid that he will be useless.
"Puff~"
At the last moment, a sharp blade sounded into the body.
The soldier's hand holding the flashlight trembled slightly, and where the light pointed, a sharp long knife pinned the paw of the blue and white zombie to the ground with precision.
Jet-black blood flowed from the back of the zombie's hand, and it didn't seem to feel pain, and it raised its head and let out a roar from its throat.
As soon as the knife in An Li's hand was retracted, it pierced down again, piercing the zombie's brain with a knife.
Its body shuddered and fell silent.
Looks dead.
An Li was still not at ease, holding a knife in both hands, and cut off the zombie's neck.
It's dead now.
She collected the knife, wiped the blood off the zombie's clothes, and plunged the long knife into its scabbard.
By the time she had done all this, there was already a quiet pin drop around her.
Yue Wen was already surprised.
However, the other soldiers and abilities who had just witnessed the whole process swallowed their saliva as they watched An Li indeed brush it.
Without him, An Li's neat and smooth movements just now are really handsome.
What does that feel like? It's like those killers in the TV series, calm, and full of bloody beauty.
She was like a machine, without hesitation, without fear.
"When she asked for her life in front of the chief before, I thought she was just trying to be in the limelight, after all, she was an ordinary person and had no abilities. Didn't expect ......"
There was a stranger next to him muttering quietly.
"It turns out that it's not a showmanship, it's not a show, it's not a show, people are serious, it's so crazy when you have real skills in hand......"
