Chapter 191 Martyrs
There were a few zombies on the third floor near the railing on the side of the elevator, and they had just chased after them from the nearby walkway. Underneath these zombies, Chen Bo and his people were already blocked on the escalator.
The body of a zombie stretched out of the railing, it fluttered its hands to grab the people below, and the other zombies behind it continued to crowd there, squeezing its body out of the railing little by little.
A zombie suddenly fell from the top of his head, and smashed right on the body of a warrior, and the moment the zombie fell, it opened its mouth and bit down on him.
The hapless soldier screamed and tore the zombie away with his hands, dragging it down. The soldiers next to him hurriedly shot the zombie in the head, killing it there, and the screams and smell of blood irritated the other zombies who approached nearby, and they frantically pounced on the elevator.
Seeing that the zombies on the second floor had rushed onto the elevator, the bitten soldier gritted his teeth and let his teammates beside him over, but he pounced on the corpses behind him.
"Team leader, brothers, my baby's name is Du Xiaobao, he has no mother, and he will be an orphan from now on," the soldier rushed to the group of corpses on the second floor, and shouted loudly through the severe pain of his wounds, "Help me keep him alive." ”
The safety pin of the grenade was pulled out by the wounded soldier, and as soon as his words fell, his body was already flooded by corpses on the elevator.
"Du Yaming!" Chen Bo and the soldiers beside him had red eyes and their teeth rattling. The warrior named Du Yaming used his body to drag the group of corpses that followed him, buying the other teammates a precious and short time.
"Kill, we have to get out alive, we must not let Du Yaming and his son be orphans," Chen Bo yelled, and continued to rush up with the rest of the people, the machine guns in their hands kept strafing, shooting the zombies that stopped on the stairs in front of them to the ground.
With a loud "boom", the group of corpses that pounced on Du Yaming's body flew up, their bodies were shattered by the grenade, and their limbs were scattered around. Then there were two explosions, the grenades carried by Du Yaming were detonated one after another, a rain of blood sprinkled in the hall of the mall, and brown raindrops mixed with pieces of minced meat fell on the ground near the explosion area, and a gap had been blown up in the elevator, and the zombies who caught up behind were squeezed down by other zombies behind them as soon as they came to the gap.
"Whoever can go back alive, Du Xiaobao is whose son, let's make Du Yaming's baby the same as when his father was alive," Chen Bo faced the blood rain falling above his head, and charged forward with his head, he had already stepped up to the third floor with one foot.
The nearby zombies began to outflank from the side, and the elevator behind them had been disconnected from the position near the second floor in the explosion of the grenade just now, and the gap in the middle became a moat, blocking the zombies chasing downstairs at the staircase, and if they wanted to move on, they would only be squeezed down by the zombies behind them. Below the gap, the fallen zombies have been piled up into a hill.
The road on both sides of the elevator on the third floor had been blocked by the outflanked corpses, and Chen Bo threw the last two grenades he was carrying towards them, and the exploding grenades made the momentum of the zombies rushing nearby pause slightly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Bo smashed the glass wall of the store in front of him with a gun, and forcibly carved a way inside.
The escalator up the third floor was already crowded with zombies coming from nearby, and even the road to the escalator on the fourth floor was blocked. The soldiers were no longer able to continue up to their destination through the elevator here, so Chen Bo had to take a gamble to see if he could find the stairs for the fire safety passage.
The light here was much better than under the building, and the glass of the front store shattered, and the soldiers jumped in after Chen Bo, weaving between the rows of stores. The footsteps behind him were in hot pursuit, and there were a lot fewer zombies in front of them. Maybe it was because they were attracted by the sound downstairs before, and they all gathered near the elevator in advance, and now the zombies that appeared in front of the team were basically trapped in the store before and couldn't get out.
This road seems to have been brought to life by Chen Bo and them again, but no one in the team dares to relax, there are thousands of zombies in this square, and no one knows what kind of danger will be waiting ahead.
"Whoever has grenades, give me a few," Chen Bo said, "Everyone has divided the ammunition they brought, we have only climbed less than half of this building, brothers don't be careless." ”
As the team retreated and redistributed the ammunition, Chen Bo rushed left and right between the shops on the third floor, following the guidance of the signs along the way, and finally found the gate of the fire safety passage. Behind the door is the staircase, which normally visitors in the mall do not usually go up and down the stairs, and only when there is an emergency inside, such as an elevator power outage, fire, etc., this passage will be used.
Pushing open the door of the safe passage, a rancid smell of corpses came to their nostrils, and Chen Bo and the others came inside to find that the stairwell was full of long-decomposed corpses.
It's good that there are no zombies, the smell of rancid smell is nothing, as soldiers, they have been trained in their previous training. The so-called order is stationary, not to mention the stinky ditch or thatched pit ahead, it is the sword mountain and the sea of fire in front of them, as long as the commander does not shout to stop, they have to wade through.
All the way up, the team went straight to the seventh floor, and more and more corpses appeared at their feet. The corridor on the fifth floor was blocked by some debris, and there were several zombies hovering on the other side of the debris, and the corpses below seemed to be survivors hiding in the fire escape before, perhaps because they were trapped inside and lacked food, and finally they all died here.
Chen Bo sighed, if it weren't for this sudden disaster, he wouldn't have believed that such a tragedy would occur in this stable and peaceful country. As a soldier, he has seen a lot of life and death, especially in the period after the disaster, but most of those who are no longer there have died in the attack of zombies, and it is rare to be trapped somewhere like this and starved to death.
However, Chen Bo believes that there are many more such situations outside, but the disaster happened too suddenly, and it was too violent, the state apparatus was almost paralyzed in an instant, all the departments that were still functioning were mobilized, and more and more people were rescued from the disaster, and they formed shelters of different sizes around the army and other armed forces with protective capabilities.
Killing the zombies behind the clutter, Qing then cleared the obstacles, Chen Bo continued to march upstairs with his team, the sign on the seventh floor at the staircase was already close at hand, he exhaled and shook his head.
After holding back in the corridor for so long, Chen Bo and his soldiers were a little stuffy, and the soldiers quickly adjusted their state at the door of the seventh floor, and then followed Chen Bo and quietly opened the door and went out.
The situation on the seventh floor is much better than below, and the battle below has attracted a lot of zombies before, and they are now mostly crowded on the fourth and fifth floors. The entire seventh floor seemed a little empty compared to the below, there was a lot of garbage on the ground, and a few figures were wandering nearby, Chen Bo gestured to the soldiers behind him, and everyone stopped together.
"Try not to make a sound, all of them, start firing in bursts, and be careful to avoid fragile objects such as glass." Chen Bo admonished the soldiers.
"Team leader, how are we going to wait?" A round-faced young warrior asked suddenly, his face a little sad as he had just withdrawn his gaze from the bottom of the building.
"Take the fire safety passage, just the staircase we just came up," said another soldier.
"It's useless to take the stairs, look down," the round-faced warrior snorted downstairs.
Everyone looked downstairs together, and was immediately stunned by the situation below.
I saw that the hall on the first floor was densely packed with zombies, and their bodies stuffed the entire hall with water. In the field of vision, zombies kept climbing up on the "corpse mountain" below the escalator, and some zombies fell through the gap on the second floor, crushing them underneath.
Looking down from above, the dense zombies were like wriggling live maggots, giving goosebumps to everyone who saw the scene.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Chen Bo suddenly slapped the back of the round-faced soldier's head, "Stinky boy, what are you talking about, we haven't got any information, just thinking about how to go back?" ”
The round-faced warrior didn't speak, his expression a little aggrieved.
"There will always be a way," Chen Bo looked around and took everyone's expressions in his eyes, "Wang Jinxi, are you afraid that we will be trapped here like those people in the corridor?" ”
The round-faced warrior nodded, puffing out his nose and inhaling.
"We soldiers have nothing to be afraid of, and the soldiers who are afraid of death are all bad seeds." Chen Bo said, "Du Yaming is good. ”
"Team leader, I'm not afraid of death, I'm ......, I'm ...... is unwilling. Wang Jinxi said unwillingly. When he said that he was unwilling, the words began to stutter.
"If you are not reconciled, if you have something to say, don't grind." Chen Bo glanced at him and saw that there was still some embarrassment on his face.
"Team leader, I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to die here like this." Wang Jinxi said, "I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet." ”
"Haha," everyone around laughed as soon as he said this.
"Hey," Seeing that everyone's mood was not as low as just now, Chen Bo smiled, "When I get back to Jilong Mountain, I'll tell you to go, do you have a crush on anyone?" ”
"Yes," Wang Jinxi replied.
"Don't tell me who it is, I'm going to wait for your boy to go back, and then I'll take me to find this girl," Chen Bo said to him, "Lao Tzu will personally come to your door to say goodbye." ”
"Hehe," Wang Jinxi touched his head and laughed embarrassedly, "You have to live well in that class." ”
"Don't worry, Lao Tzu's life is very hard." Chen Bo touched his nose with his hand, and then took the gun in his hand, "Remember what I said earlier, try not to make a sound, and use all point shots." ”
"Understood," the warriors replied.
