The zombies marched along the street, and when they reached the intersection in front of them, they slowly stopped, paused, and then began to turn into a gate on the north side.
Could that be Xiao Lin's temporary hiding place? I took two quick steps, as close as I could. Inside the gate is a large hotel, the kind that is very common. To get a better view, I snuck into the café across the street and went up to the second floor to look into the hotel again.
There are buildings in the north and east three directions of this hotel, and the overall shape is like a single sofa: the tall main building on the north side is the back of the sofa, and there is a floor on the east and west sides, which is slightly smaller, like the armrests of the sofa, and there is a not small parking lot between the three buildings, and the zombies led by the corpse king are concentrated on the parking lot. The gathering of such a large group of zombies is very eye-catching.
Will Xiao Lin be here? I put a big question mark in my heart: if Xiao Lin was really in this hotel, so many zombies poured into the front door with great fanfare, she would immediately notice it, and then run away through the back door! The Corpse King shouldn't be so stupid!? According to its previous style, it should be ambushed in the back first, and then attack the front, and make a noise.
It seems that Xiao Lin will not be in this hotel, but she should be around here! That's why the Corpse King will ambush the zombies here, waiting for the opportunity to attack!
Thinking of this, I began to look around the hotel: all I had to do now was to find Xiao Lin before the Corpse King, and then take her out of here. I came from the southeast with the Corpse King, so Xiao Lin is most likely in the northwest direction. So I tried to look northwest, and a little further west was the crossroads. On the other side of the intersection is a bustling business district.
Eyes quickly fell on the mall at the northwest corner of the intersection. This mall is comprehensive, with a variety of projects such as supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment, and the scale is not small. What attracted me was the two cars parked in front of the mall: a BMW and an Audi. At this time, it has been two or three months since the day of the zombie virus outbreak, and a large number of cars have been discarded, covered with a thick layer of dust, and although these two cars are also dirty, the windshield is clean and obviously just used.
Xiao Lin can't use two cars alone? Is there anyone else? Or maybe the person inside is not Xiao Lin at all! You have to look at it first. I looked at the zombies again, and they were standing quietly in the hotel parking lot, and it seemed that they would not attack for a while.
Enter the commercial building in advance to see who is hiding inside, I hope it is Xiao Lin, take her and leave immediately; If it's someone else, it's a good thing to let them know. If it's the bandits, leave quietly. Let them fight to the death with the zombies.
Having made up my mind, I slipped out the back door of the café and into an alley. There weren't many zombies roaming around here, so I didn't bother much, and after a few turns in the alley, I came to the south side of the intersection. Worried about being seen by the corpse king, he walked a distance south and hid far away, only then crossed the road, made a big circle, and finally arrived at the entrance of the mall. The whole process was done with the help of the cover of the building, so that no one would notice.
The glass door is locked from the inside, which just proves that there are indeed people inside. I don't know if it's friend or foe, I didn't dare to call the door directly! Walk a few steps against the wall, looking for a way to enter without a trace. There are many restaurants on the ground floor: noodle shop, burger shop, steakhouse, seafood shop, each with two doors, one facing the street and one leading into the mall. Stopped at the entrance of KFC at the very end, which is located around the corner, not too attractive, and according to the lockpicking skills taught by Xiao Lin, I worked hard for a long time to finally open it.
When I entered KFC, I first smelled a rancid stench, which was actually stronger than the stench on my body, and the two smells together made me unbearable even if my nose had been tested for a long time. Seeing that there were no zombies here, there was no need to disguise it anymore, so he quickly took off his coat and threw it on the counter.
A sadness welled up in my heart: above the counter is a row of advertising paintings, how much is the fragrant chicken burger, how much is the beef burger, how much is the french fries, what what set meal, and the large advertising painting next to it reads: Today's chicken roll special, buy one get one free! Once upon a time, I had this KFC downstairs at home, and the junk food used to be my favorite, and I would go there every Saturday night to sit down and order a great value bucket for the whole family. At that point in time, the store was often overcrowded, and it was difficult to find a seat. It is estimated that now, as here, is empty, lifeless, and disgusting.
Everything was taken away, and it looks like someone came in and searched it! The Corpse King could attack at any time, and there was no time to waste, and I walked along the passage to find that the door to the interior of the mall had been breached, which saved me.
I didn't rush in, I stood in front of the inner door and looked inside: there was very little sunlight outside, and there was no electricity, and the whole mall was shrouded in darkness, and the silence was suffocating. The ground floor, like most other malls, is where jewelry and cosmetics are sold. Apparently ransacked: the counter had been smashed and only an empty jewelry box remained. Many counters fell to the floor, broken glass on the ground, and a lot of jewelry that had not had time to be taken was scattered in all corners.
sighed in my heart: It's all this time, and I can still take care of robbing jewelry, and I can't eat or use it, and I can only become a burden with it. If someone were to trade me with a bullet for all the jewelry scattered on the floor, I would immediately agree without even blinking an eye.
Not noticing the danger, thinking that time was pressing, he pushed open the door and entered the mall. Walking forward step by step, it is very dark here, and you can only see twenty or thirty meters with your full eyesight, and there are some clothing stores in the corner, and the mannequins stand there motionless, which is creepy, but it is a good place to shoot horror movies.
Coming to the mouth of the escalator, the two escalators, one up and one down, had stopped, lying there like two dead pythons. There are footprints on these two escalators, and there are traces of touching on the handrails, the first basement floor is a supermarket, the upper second floor is women's clothing, there is food below, and the top is safer, I don't know whether to go up or down.
I was hesitating when I heard a rush of footsteps from above. Someone was running down from above, and I saw a tailor shop changing clothes by the escalator, and there was a small fitting room inside, so I quickly hid inside.
A short, stocky, bespectacled middle-aged man ran down the escalator, a towel in one hand and a bunch of keys in the other, wiping his sweat as he ran to the mall gate, the keys jingling in his hand. I secretly looked at his back, and at some point, three figures with guns appeared outside the mall.
When did these guys with guns come here? I didn't even find out! They won't see me, will they? I nervously asked myself, and then gave a negative answer, the mall is too dark, I can see clearly from the inside out, and it is a black look from the outside in.
The middle-aged man ran to the door, took out the key to open the door, and three gunmen walked in, they were holding Type 56 assault rifles, the standard equipment of the bandits. The middle-aged man nodded busily, and he couldn't hear what they were saying from too far away! The gunmen split into two groups, two began to walk towards the escalator, and the remaining one stayed at the door to stand guard, and the middle-aged man locked the door and handed the key to the guard, and then quickly followed the two who came in.
As they got closer, I suddenly felt that the two gunmen walking were a little familiar, and after a little thought, I remembered that the one in front was the handsome guy who escaped during the exchange of fire in the community a few days ago, and the one in the back was the tattooed man who crawled out of the Dongfeng iron armor that rushed into the stationery store outside the school gate that day.
Fuck, this is crashing into a bandit's den! I was nervous for a while, holding a rifle, aiming the muzzle at them, and as long as the situation was wrong, I would immediately strike first. But the worry was unfounded, and they didn't know I existed, and walked quickly past me, ready to get up the stalled escalator.
The tattooed man in the back suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted, "Lao Wan, go down and get me a pack of cigarettes!" ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly agreed: "Alas, I'll go get it, what brand?" ”
The tattooed man said coldly: "What nonsense? Just pick up the expensive ones and take them! ”
"Alas......" Lao Wan agreed, and walked down the escalator to the basement floor.
The handsome guy and the tattooed man stand at the mouth of the escalator. The handsome guy stared at Lao Wan's distant back and said, "Brother Lei, why do you always speak coldly to Lao Wan?" Where did he offend you? ”
The tattooed man surnamed Lei snorted and said, "Do you know what this grandson used to do?" Dry city management! At that time, he was not the cowardly he is now, he was shy all day long, and he couldn't wait to walk sideways, and there was no one on our street who didn't hate him! ”
The handsome guy let out an absent-minded "um" and changed the subject: "Zhiqiang, do you think the helicopter will come back tomorrow?" "Helicopters! So the two men have met the helicopter pilot, and the helicopter may be back tomorrow! I pricked up my ears for fear of missing a word.
The tattooed man Lei Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "I should be back!" That little has no reason to lie to us! Besides, she's staying here too, and if the helicopter doesn't come back tomorrow, she won't be able to leave! ”
The handsome guy sighed: "I hope so! After a while, he said, "Now we only need to worry about the surname Feng!" ”
At this moment, a middle-aged man carrying a large plastic bag ran up from below, shouting, "Xiao Lei, you want cigarettes!" Lei Zhiqiang took it without saying a word, walked up, and the other two people followed.
