Chapter 16: Andrew's Situation

Locke and Alan took a deep dive on the first floor of the building.

No living creatures were found on the first floor, except for a room full of debris and rotting food scraps.

It's as if this place has undergone a plague like the outside world, taking away everything that can be used, but also smashing everything that could still be used.

Although the cooking utensils and some of the instruments in this can be repaired, Locke's heart is constantly dripping blood with such unprecedented damage in front of him.

This place was Locke's preparatory base, and the damage to everything in it was a great loss for him......

……

……

Locke and Allen went around and around for several times without finding any substantive clues, or at least any information about Andrew at all.

Of course, this is also just as Locke expected, after all, only the undried blood at the staircase is the focus, and the search for the first floor is just a means for Locke to stabilize Allen's mood.

It's still crucial to give Alan some time to calm down his emotions.

After all, the blood stains at the staircase on the first floor did not stop on the first floor of this building, and this information is the most important.

After several searches, Locke and Alan came to the staircase on the first floor again, and this time Alan found a trace of blood that stretched to the corner of the second floor, but his mental state was not abnormal.

Giving a person a stable transition is a better way to stabilize their emotions, and it's clear that Locke's approach has paid off.

It may have been that he had seen too much dried blood in other places on the first floor, and now when the blood stains appeared in front of Erin's eyes, Alan always felt that the blood stains were as ordinary as the blood stains in other places.

Time is indeed the best way to calm people's emotions.

But Locke knew that the real danger should be on the second or third floor, and for a while, Locke's nerves tensed.

Locke pressed the pistol on his waist to make sure it was still on his body, and at this time, I am afraid that only a real hard guy can give people more courage.

The two of them were next to the wall at the top of the stairs as they prepared to enter the second floor, and Locke gave Alan a look and motioned for him to move towards the second floor.

It was still Allen in front and Rock behind, and the two climbed lightly to the second floor of this building.

Locke carefully opened the door to the second floor, and the blood did not stop from here, spreading all the way inside.

At this time, Alan realized that the blood stains on the ground were a little wrong, but he was still calm, and it was possible that he didn't expect the bloodstains to be Andrew himself.

The two followed the bloodstain to the interior of the second floor.

The trajectory of the blood stains has also changed drastically, and to be exact, there are blood stains in the corridors and some rooms on the second floor.

In parts of the hallway, there were several blood-colored footprints about the size of an adult, and the direction of the bloodstained footprints extended to the third floor of the building.

From the bloodstains all over the ground, it can be preliminarily judged that Andrew should have been caught by something, and Andrew made a final struggle to get out of his control, but no matter how Andrew tossed, he was still captured by this thing, and finally took him to the third floor.

These blood-colored footprints were supposed to be the thing's, and Andrew was dragged to the third floor by him.

If Andrew had walked to the third floor by himself, then there would not have been only one kind of footprint that had reached the third floor in the end.

Through this information, Locke understood Andrew's situation little by little.

Andrew should have arrived in this room first and entered the first floor, and then Andrew, like Locke, searched the first floor to see if they could find materials that could be used.

Later, he came to the staircase on the first floor and encountered something, and Andrew had a brief struggle with him.

As a result, Andrew was submitted by this thing when he was injured, and in this way, Andrew was taken to the second floor by him.

When he arrived at the second floor, Andrew may have carried out another wave of desperate resistance before death, Andrew asked for the control of this thing, and then Andrew kept dodging on the entire second floor, but in the end he was knocked down by this thing, and was finally pulled by it to the third floor.

I'm afraid that Andrew is on the third floor now, but it gives Locke the feeling that his chances of survival are not very good......

……

……

The most troublesome thing is not that Andrew's situation is not optimistic, but that now Alan is panicking again after seeing the blood stains in the room.

At this moment, no matter how sluggish Alan is, he understands that these bloodstains must be Andrew's, otherwise the bloodstains on the ground will not have dried yet, which is obviously left on the ground not long ago.

At this moment, although Alan didn't see Andrew's current bad situation, his fearful thoughts had already filled his heart.

Alan, he was completely panicked......

He was now exactly the same, if not more terrible, than he had been mad before......

At this moment, Alan hugged his head tightly with both hands, the corners of his mouth and body were constantly shaking, foaming at the mouth, and his mouth kept repeating "What should I do, what should I do......"

The whole person looks extremely terrifying......

Locke had expected it a long time ago, otherwise he would not have prepared a baseball bat in his hand.

The current situation is different from before, Locke has determined that Andrew must have had an accident at this moment, so the most important thing to do now is to rescue Andrew.

If you go to save Andrew one minute later, the situation on Andrew's side may be even worse, and the most terrible situation is that Andrew dies because of the problem of time.

For the sake of precious time, Locke had to not be cruel to Allen, and Allen's current situation could not provide Locke with any help at all, and might even cost the lives of the two because of Allen's abnormal behavior.

In order to save Andrew, and for the safety of the two, Rock reluctantly raised the baseball bat in his hand.

"Bang!" With a bang, Locke hit Allen on the back of his neck, and Allen fell to the ground.

Locke didn't have the time to care about Allen's injuries now, thinking that he hit him in the erection of the neck, and the whole person should have just fainted.

The second floor of this building is relatively small compared to the first floor, mainly because there are many rooms on the second floor.

The overall layout of the second floor is more like the office area of a general company, each room is the same size and very tidy, and it is obvious that only the office area of the company has such an environment.

Locke found the most secluded room on the second floor and put Alan inside, and took out two bottles of mineral water and two cans of canned beef from his backpack and put them beside him, hoping that Alan would be able to take care of himself if something happened to him.

After Allen was knocked unconscious, Locke felt that his whole person was also a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, after all, Allen's current mood is too unstable, he is like a time bomb planted by his side, Locke has no idea when he will completely explode.

Although I'm a little sorry for Allen, it's the best way to solve it right now.

Without Allen, Locke's actions are a lot faster.

Locke first groped around each room on the second floor, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal on the entire second floor, he picked up the gun in his hand and held his feet and walked to the third floor of the building step by step.
