Volume II Commonwealth Chapter 33 Above the Stairs
There were only seventeen of them here, and there was no help, and if they were in a crisis, they didn't want anyone else to save them.
"Then ......," a young soldier asked nervously, "where do we get in from?" ”
"Lift up your noble eyes and look at your head," Luna pointed to the top of her head with a flamethrower, "Don't always leave the old lady with her eyes." ”
Above, a spiraling arched fragmented glass bridge stretches upwards like a long crystal dragon wrapping around the umbrella-shaped metal walls of the vault, connecting to the interior, where the passage is completely blocked off by an alloy barrier, but not impregnable.
Luna was sure, "The underground entrance to this shelter is hard to find, but the entrance above ground is still very convenient, and now, everyone is starting to set up fire points, facial paralysis, little wolf, you two follow me up." ”
They moved quickly, two veterans and two recruits began to set up heavy machine guns and miniature particle beam guns removed from armored jeeps in the dead corner of the supermarket, two snipers looked for a suitable fire intersection above, four infantry followed the armored uncle to deploy the gate, began to place fortifications, any solid bunker that could be used was dragged by them, one sapper carefully placed magnetic shock mines on both sides of the door, and glued many miniature condensation incendiary canisters on the road outside the supermarket, Then start fiddling with a couple of delicate drones. He is testing the range of the drone, making sure that it does not crash within a certain range. Many soldiers saw the mistakes of the Ranger fighters and the elite field army, and they naturally understood that the closer they got to the sky, the closer they got to the beam, the more strange the electromagnetic field became, and the more likely these delicate electronic devices would be burned, and in today's situation, everyone must be careful with the use of sophisticated electronic equipment.
The middle-aged uncle summoned the last two recruits, "You go and make sure the back door is open, if there is a white spider that wants to come in, you will kill it, but it is best not to act rashly." ”
"Yes."
"Kill the white spiders that are lone on the heights with silenced snipers," Luna yelled at the two snipers standing on the heights before stepping onto the glass bridge, "they'll climb the wall and find two people to cover you." “
The two snipers nodded, pulled down their farsighted auxiliary glasses, and crawled towards a higher field of vision with the help of the rope retractor.
Above the bridge was a flat staircase, and Luna continued to walk up with Tianxia and the little wolf. They soon reached the entrance to the barrier, a heavy metal door, locked from the inside, and it was much harder than they thought to get in.
Luna pulled a strange box out of her bag, "Stand farther away," she instructed, "don't look at it." ”
"You're going to boil it?" Tianxia finally knew her intentions, "It's not good, when we leave, the white spider will come in, and we can't take everyone away." ”
"The white spider has already gone in, not to mention, if they want to come out, we can cover them, anyway, staying in it will be a death sooner or later, turn your head, if you don't want your eyes blind," Luna said, lighting the lead of the packet of metal dissolving agent, just a few seconds, a violent white light flashed, a strong smell of smoke spread, Tianxia hurriedly turned around, and when she turned around, the heavy metal door had been burned open a large hole, and the ground was rolling red-hot molten steel, like surging magma flowing downward.
.......A drop of molten steel slid across the slightly inclined overpass, melted through the bottom of the bridge, and fell straight to the ground, smashing the glass of a car parked on the ground, and the sudden sound instantly attracted the attention of the white spiders, they raised their small eyes, as if scanning something, and then, they began to pour out from the shadows, like cockroaches that followed the darkness.
Tianxia looked at Luna reproachfully.
"I don't have the guts to scoop up that molten steel, don't look at me." She pulled out a bottle of spray and sprayed it on the molten metal door, and soon the bubbling metal door cooled down, and she stepped into the connecting door first.
Tianxia also followed, during which she looked down, only to see a drone rising from the supermarket, it made a sharp cry, there was an automatic machine gun hanging underneath, the machine gun was firing wildly around, countless glass was shattered by it, and a few white spiders crawling in the corner were extremely lucky to be shot through the eyes of the back by it, and soon it attracted the white spiders in the heights, Tianxia saw a third of the white spiders coming out of the corridors and apartments of the high-rise buildings, and crawling towards it frantically, but more spiders were still from the underground waterways, And the cracks in the deep alleys were methodically rushing towards the supermarket, they knew that there were people inside, Tianxia thought darkly, these monsters were better than she could see, and now she could only pray that those people in the supermarket would not be so easily breached.
Inside the umbrella-shaped metal cover, the interior lighting dispelled the shadows of the corridors and walls, but even so, the entire high-rise building still looked dim and terrifying, like a sleeping beast hidden in the shadows, opening its bloody mouth and waiting for others to enter its stomach.
The scene brought them to a halt almost immediately.
"Should we really go in?" The little wolf couldn't help but shrink back timidly, "I guess it's a white spider's nest inside." ”
"I wonder if there are survivors inside, otherwise why are there so many white spiders lurking around? Do you think they're here to bask in the sun? ”
The three of them glanced at each other, then continued to walk a few steps, and soon were blocked by a glass door, only to see that the door was marked with the words "Rest Hall", which should be just a middle floor for employees to rest, Luna smashed the glass with the butt of her gun, swept away the remaining debris, and walked inside, leaving the two to follow. The tables and chairs in the lounge hall are staggered, as if something has broken in, and there are signs of wreak havoc, Tianxia found that there are dried blood stains on the ground, oh, there are two broken corpses lying on the elevator on the other side, most of the limbs of the two corpses have traces of being eaten, they stretched out half of their hands, and wanted to climb to the elevator, but the white spider did not let them get their wish, and because of them, the elevator could not be closed at all, and the elevator doors on both sides kept opening and closing, which made people only feel weird, as if it was a common scene in ghost movies, but that's the movie, and it's not.
The little wolf observed for a long time, and said an obvious fact, "They're in here." ”
"Thank you for the reminder, I'm not blind yet," Luna asked him to take a big broom from the corner, "Sweep the body, we should ......." She looked at the stairs, and there was no unusual movement, "Make sure you can take the elevator when you come back, one more way to live, one more chance to live." ”
The little wolf had a bitter face, and almost turned around to run, but fortunately, he did not run, but plucked up the courage to walk towards the door that kept opening and closing. He first threw a box into the elevator, but there was no response, and then he threw a remnant of his arm, still unresponsive.
Luna couldn't help but ask, "Are you playing a shooting game?" ”
The little wolf shook his head timidly, "I'm afraid there are monsters in there......."
"The white spider won't play peek-a-boo with you to scare you, stupid, it will pounce on you directly, if you grind again, you will go up the elevator alone in a while."
He was forced to drag the two corpses out of the gates of hell that they saw as hope, and the little wolf found several bodies hidden in the corner, all of them had been eaten, leaving only a few bones and a pile of tattered clothes, men's, women's, and even children's. Sadly, these two men killed all the people in the elevator.
"Tianxia, report to me in time if there is any unusual movement," Luna carefully pushed open the door of the compartment on the stairs, there was a toilet on the left, and she went in with a gun, and nothing was gained. She stepped out of the compartment door and into the staircase, which was eerie and eerie in the dim emergency light, and unusually silent, without any sound. From this floor, through the gap in the stairwell, she couldn't see where the white spider was going, whether she looked up or down, and she carefully closed the door of the upper compartment, carefully setting up several remote-controlled bombs on the top side of the side. Soon, the bodies were cleaned up and the elevator was back open, and Luna waved at the little wolf Hetianxia, motioning for them to lean over.
"The elevator is too swaggering, we have to go up the stairs," she ordered, "you two look behind me, I don't want my ass to be pierced by a white spider." ”
Tianxia nodded, and the little wolf was full of doubts, "What if there are a lot of them?" What if we can't cope? ”
"Then pray that you die quickly, there is a window next to it, break it, and it shouldn't be difficult to jump straight down," Luna stepped up the stairs, and the two hurriedly followed.
Above the lounge was an office floor, and Luna smashed the broken glass in the doorway and peeked in, only a long white-painted corridor came into view, flanked by the managers' offices, each with a locked door, but unfortunately useless. Luna could see three or four offices with slashed doors through the shattered window, and what seemed to be hidden in the lonely door, was it a white spider? Or a living person? There should be nothing, Luna understood, it would be easy for the white spider to break through this wooden door, there was nothing but corpses here.
"No one survived........" Luna concluded, and continued upward, on the way, they saw corpses lying in the stairwell, and the higher they went, the more corpses there were.
"Could it be that the white spiders are all on it," the little wolf trembled with his hands, and even the gun was a little unsteady, and Tianxia was also cautiously concentrating, she had to be careful with everything, especially the doors between the floors, no one knew what would come out of the door.
"The white spider is on it, which means that there are survivors on it," Luna was sure that they continued on their way, but the further they went, the more they went, the corners of the stairs on each floor were terrifying, for fear that a white spider would pounce on them.
"Wait......" Luna finally stopped, she lowered her body and made a silent gesture towards the two behind her, "There's something up there." ”
Her actions made the two recruits stiffen, and for a while Tianxia didn't know what she should do, she just subconsciously raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed at the corner in front of her.
"Look behind you," Luna snapped, "I'll take care of the front." ”
Tianxia did so.
They moved upwards step by step, and their voices became clearer, the kind of screaking sound that only squirms, slight, and disgusting, the sound they'd grown to over the last two weeks, and the damn stench, the mucus secreted by the confessing spiders, fishy like rotten fish and shrimp, or the smell of corpse residue. They're close...... Tianxia understood, it was very close.
