At noon, the sky was overcast and rainless.

There was a faint mist in the air, and visibility was reduced, but a distance of twenty or thirty meters could also be seen.

Fog is not moisture, and everything on the ground as well as in the fog stays dry.

It's the height of summer, and it's supposed to be a very hot climate, but the temperature is so low that normal people need to wear long clothes and trousers to keep warm.

The deserted streets are empty, but the roads are full of vehicles and all kinds of debris, and you can see them from time to time...... Human bones.

Occasionally, a withered figure staggered out of the fog, wearing a summer dress stained with a large number of black stains, his skin was dry like aging rubber, and his cloudy eyeballs were deeply sunken in his sockets, flashing with an eerie red light.

This is not the most terrifying scene, what is even more terrifying is that those human bones that seem to be a pile of dead things, suddenly in a "click" sound, combined into a complete skeleton, completely exposed tooth bones hollow bite, as if to choose people to eat, empty eyes burning small blue flames.

It's like hell and a horrific scene.

※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※

"Meow, there's all this kind of thing."

Luo Xin said secretly, his body was like a piece of black smoke, blending with the fog, and quietly "floating" on the road.

In this state, he could not hear the outside world, and his vision was completely different from seeing with the naked eye.

Everything seems to be a structural diagram drawn with drawing software, with green lines on a black background, and even behind the wall, it will show the content of a certain distance according to the material and distance.

Another skeleton monster stood up from the pile of bones on the side of the road, and although it would never be perceived or touched, Luo Xin still chose to bypass it instead of passing directly over it.

Ten days ago, there was absolutely no such monster in the city limits, because in his vision, there was a small flame in the skulls of all moving skeletons, and the bones on his body were also attached with a faint layer of green gas.

It may be a different color, or it may not be visible to the naked eye, because in the [Shadow Walking] state, he can only see green, as well as some phenomena that are not visible to the naked eye.

Ten days ago, he hadn't seen a bone like this.

"Maybe there's really no other living people here......

Luo Xin thought so more than once.

In the past, there was no response when he thought so, but this time, as soon as he finished thinking so, a piece of glass fell in front of him and fell apart.

"Falling off naturally?" or?"

Luo Xin has walked through this street many times, and has never found any signs of similar activity.

In the [Shadow Walking] state, he can basically see it as a cloud of smoke that can move freely, not only in parallel, but also up and down.

Along the outer edge of the building, Luo Xin floated upward.

3rd, 6th, 9th floor...... His vision could penetrate about 3 floors, and he didn't find any living creatures. On the 10th floor, he drifted into the building through a broken window.

30 meters is the limit of his floating, beyond which he can only enter the interior of the building to move.

13th Floor...... Finally, on the 15th floor, he found a composition of the appearance of a human form, not an empty skeleton, not a corpse capable of walking, but a real person, because instead of a fire burning from their brains, their whole body emitted a red light.

Red light, it was the first time that Luo Xin knew that he could see colors other than green and black in the state of [Shadow Walking].

The hallway was stuffed with debris, blocking from the floor to the ceiling, which was clearly an artificial means of defense.

This is not difficult for Luo Xin, he only needs a gap for him to penetrate the past.

As he approached the trio, Luo Xin controlled the flow of his form in the shadows.

The smoke inside is much lighter than outside, especially at the height of the 15th floor, where there is almost no smoke visible.

Luo Xin floated out of the ventilation pipe, the smoke condensed, and he returned to his human form without any sound.

The floor was carpeted, and it was an office separated only by a wall from the three of them.

When Luo Xin came up, they had just finished fighting, and the opponent was a walking corpse stranded here, and in the process of marching, the details became clearer and clearer, even the brother with swollen breasts would not have that graceful and moving arc, and the three of them were "she".

“...... If we continue to stay here, we will be eroded by death all the time, we will gradually weaken and slowly lose our lives, and finally become monsters like them."

The moment he lifted the [Shadow Walk], he entered the real world from the empty and silent black and green world, and Luo Xin heard a female voice behind the wall.

"But, you can also see, we worked so hard with Manager Xu to kill one, I don't know how many such monsters there are outside, and ......" another female voice said, "You don't know where it's safe, not even a direction"

"I have a general guess about the cause of the dead air, it may be that the city is densely populated, and too many people died when the corpse tide broke out, so we just need to stay away from the city limits."

"But in the city we have buildings to hide, and when we leave the city, where are we going to hide, how are we going to survive?"

"This ......"

"Besides, it was said on the radio before that now the animals in the wild are all mutated, and it is so difficult for us to fight a slow walking corpse, let alone mutate the beast."

The two female voices discussed in low voices.

"Dead air, but also image"

Luo Xin analyzed it in his mind based on their conversation.

"From the time of the disaster to the present?"

"The tone is calm, there is no anger...... The relationship between the three of them should be quite close, and there is no mention of concern about food, it seems that there is another fixed source, so don't worry about them being "ghouls".

When he came up, Luo Xin saw that the safe passages on both sides of the building were blocked with debris, and humans and walking corpses could not pass.

There are 18 floors in this building, and the upper 3 floors are all clean, and there is not a single bone in sight, and all the markets and shopping malls around him, as long as he can find food, he has marked and checked them regularly, and there is no trace of being patronized.

Although I don't know the specific time of the outbreak, it has been about half a year since he woke up, and I really don't know what these three women survived by eating.

Considering their "abilities", Luo Xin guessed: "Maybe they also have their own superpowers, right?"

The two women discussed many methods, but they were all vetoed by themselves, and finally the woman who had been silent and called "Manager Xu" said:

"The erosion process of death qi on our body is very slow, and we will not die for a while, Sister Liu can sense monsters, we can rely on this ability, from one building to another, slowly move to the suburbs, the location I have already thought of, Dorsett Community, there is a villa area, there are originally few people, because it is newly built, most of the villas have not been sold"

"It's a viable plan, and I've been there, it's 30 kilometers from the city, it's a cliff at the back, it's walled on both sides, it's surrounded by barren mountains, there's only one entrance," the first female voice said.

The second female voice was about to become a habit, or rather cautious, and said: "I also know there, but out of the Xu Jiayuan, there are no high-rise buildings behind it, what about the remaining 20 kilometers or so? And once there are a large number of monsters gathered there, even if there are no monsters, there are other survivors? If it is a good person, of course it is no problem, there are many people with great strength, but what if it is a bad person? The best result is that the three of us are used in various postures, and at worst, we will even be made into jerky."

The first female voice said angrily: "If there is a monster from a long distance, I feel it, out of Xujiayuan, maybe the road conditions will be better, we can find a car to travel, but there are really bad people, it is possible to be forked by people, with you, it will definitely not be made into jerky"

It seems that she is the "Sister Liu" who can perceive monsters.

"Hey, that's worse, do you think the bad guys who forked us all over Europe will reason with us, knowing that my abilities will definitely increase the persecution, maybe in order to prevent me from escaping, they will cut off my hands and feet or something"

"Uh......" Sister Liu said for a while, indeed, will the bad guys reason with you, just use violence to achieve the goal.

"If we stay here, we will definitely die, and if we move out, we may not die, that's all, there is no perfect plan in this world, we can only take one step at a time"

Manager Xu didn't talk much, but every time he spoke, he made important points.

※I ※ is ※ evil ※ evil ※ ※ divides ※ cut ※ thread※

Hearing this, Luo Xin could basically determine that the three women were basically harmless.

As soon as his mind moved, [Shadow Walking] activated, and he instantly turned into a cloud of smoke, and the smoke floated out through the gap, attracting the attention of the three women almost immediately.

"Ah...... Careful"

"What's that?"

"Stand behind me"

Outside is a common office space, full of messy, missing a lot of tables, chairs and benches, probably blocked in the stairs.

On the floor of the open space, a walking corpse with its tattered head flying was lying at the feet of three women, green dissipating from its body.

The black smoke swirled around the three women, nervously back-to-back, one of whom held the commonly known as the holy sword of physics, a steel crowbar, and stuck the head of the stick into the black smoke.

She didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, and the black smoke still swirled around them.

I was just about to say something, but a vision came abruptly.

The smoke gathered, and a figure appeared outside her stick.

"Ah......" The woman who wanted to scream at the beginning was so frightened that she screamed half a sigh again, and then held her mouth down and listened to the voice of the very cowardly female voice.

The other woman's eyes widened, and Luo Xin knew for the first time that there were people in reality who could stare at them so exaggeratedly.

The woman with the crowbar trembled, and the crowbar she held in both hands began to shake.

"You...... You...... Are you a human or a ghost?"

Her voice was Manager Xu.

Luo Xin raised his hand in surrender, took two steps back, kept his position with one hand, and removed his breathing mask with the other.

"Oh oh oh, don't be nervous, beauty, I'm human, no malice"

Light comes in from the side, so they can see each other clearly.

The scene was silent for a while, and the three women opposite first breathed a sigh of relief, and then a little excited, it is estimated that they are also the first time to see a living person other than themselves, plus they have seen a lot of horror scenes, and their psychological quality is relatively strong.

"Ah, you're an evolutionary too?

"It's just a little scary when I first appeared, it scared me to death"

The very cowardly beauty and Sister Liu talked and walked out from behind Manager Xu and entered the contact distance.

Manager Xu also lowered the crowbar in his hand.

Luo Xin has a hairy hair, ordinary appearance, his face has not been shaved for a while, his beard is unshaven, and his natural single eyelid is a little unscrupulous.

Manager Xu and the very cowardly beauty look like they are twenty-six or seventeen years old, and Sister Liu is not very old, at most in her thirties, and the three women are all so beautiful that they are all wearing office skirts.

With a smile on his face, Luo Xin waved his hand again and took two steps back.

"Well, I've heard a few conversations before, the world is sinister, and it's good for each other to be cautious."

When Sister Liu heard this, she stroked her forehead, and looked at the beautiful woman next to her with disgust, "Don't be surprised, Xiao Sun didn't do his job before, he read a lot of online articles, and his brain was a little funny."

The beautiful woman she called Xiao Sun wrinkled her nose, "What is Xiu Teasing, is that called thoughtfulness, and ......" She looked at Luo Xin, "How can you be so timid as a big man, we three weak women can still eat you"

The voice is somewhat playful.

Luo Xin pointed to the tattered walking corpse on the ground behind them, "I'm a big man, I can't kill such a monster with just an iron rod, they are not corpses caused by viruses or mutations, but zombies with the color of gods and monsters in legends, their heads are not their weak points, even if their heads are blown away, they can act as usual."

The three women glanced back, looked at each other again, didn't know how to answer, and the atmosphere was a little cold.

It stands to reason that trapped on the top floor for so long, the outside world is in shambles, like the ruins of the city, even if they have their own fixed food sources, the three women are radiant and very suspicious.

Unkempt and disheveled is more in line with the current apocalyptic background.

However, after a closer look, Luo Xin saw that they were all natural beauties, even if there were no makeup, PS or filters, they were all goddess-level young ladies who could score a minimum of 90 points.

I don't know if I noticed his gaze, Manager Xu raised an arm to block his chest.

"I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't introduced myself yet" Manager Xu broke the atmosphere, covering his chest with one hand and holding the handle of the stick in the other, with no embarrassment on his face, and he stood out from the two of them generously. "I'm Xu Wenjia, the local general manager of Xinhe International Trade, and the company's address is on the 8th to 14th floors downstairs."

Sister Liu and Xiao Sun also reacted and began to introduce themselves.

"Liu Jinyu, General Manager of Tianhe Trading"

"My name is Sun Lijia, and I am in the same company as Manager Xu, and I am the assistant director of the human resources department of Xinhe International Trade Local Company."

The three of them looked at Luo Xin, and he subconsciously took over the conversation and said: "Luo Xin, unemployed vagrant, local resident"

Xu Wenjia further grasped the initiative in the conversation and said: "Mr. Luo, judging from the fact that you took the initiative to appear in front of us, you also wanted to negotiate with us, don't be wary of us because of Assistant Sun's naughty words, and we have absolutely no malicious intentions."

She could see from Luo Xin's ability that he may not be an offensive player, but with his unique ability, he is definitely a player who can come and go freely in the outside world, and such a person must have a lot of information about the outside world.

Lowered his hand to hide the crowbar behind him, and further won Luo Xin's trust, and Liu Jinyu next to him understood, and wanted to cover up Sun Lijia with his hand behind him, and made a lip shape.

The privilege of a beautiful woman, this small action does not cause disgust in men.

Sun Lijia folded her hands and bowed slightly, and said with a playful accent: "I'm sorry, Luo Xiansen, I'm used to lifting the bar with Boss Liu, just a joke, don't take it to heart."

"The young lady is very cute, if you wear a cat ear and a fake tail with this kind of appearance, and put on a "Rua" pose, it is estimated that you can wash the B station in blood."

Luo Xin ate this very much, but he didn't show a fancy expression, and he still had a poker face.

"Uh......"

He didn't know how to speak, he was organizing the language, and Xu Wenjia on the other side continued to take the initiative and said:

"Since the disaster broke out, there has been no rescue, we have been trapped here for more than a year, can you tell us about the current situation outside?"

"Uh......" With the topic of "Uh", Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Now there are those walking corpses everywhere outside"

He pointed to the walking corpse not far away.

"I'm sure you already know how difficult this monster is, it can move freely in the sun, it is extremely sensitive to the breath of living beings, and if there is no building to cover it, it can sense creatures within a radius of about 100 meters, and it may have a poor perception of small creatures, such as cats, dogs, mice and so on.

In addition, in the last ten days, a new kind of monster has appeared, the skeleton monster, that is, there is no piece of flesh on the body, the two holes are shining, and the joints are not connected together, but the fast bone monster can click and run, like the walking corpse, this kind of skeleton monster is also very sensitive to the perception of the breath of living beings, but it is faster, and in the past few days, I have seen that there are skeleton monsters holding bone swords, bone knives, and bone spurs.

There are many walking corpses and skeletons gathered in ...... Well, the dead gas you are talking about, it gathers in a place where the dead air is dense, usually a building with a basement, especially in the subway line.

On the map, such agglomerations are evenly distributed, well...... None of the evacuation methods you've mentioned before will work, because as soon as you get almost close to the ground, you'll be sensed by the patrollers on the streets, and unless you can eliminate the patrollers in a matter of seconds, you'll be targeted by the monsters in the nearby colonies.

Now almost every gathering place will have one or several boss monsters, and now they are basically walking corpses, and there may be skeleton boss monsters in the future. This kind of monster already has a simple intelligence, after being targeted by them, they will not enter the scattered mode after losing the target for a short time like ordinary monsters, but continue to track any clues, and will also command the monster to dismantle some simple obstacles, such as the ...... you blocked in the corridor"

Luo Xin paused when he said this, and his eyes swept over the three women one by one.

"You said before that if you stay here, you will end up being eroded to death...... In fact, according to the speed of development of these monsters, you will not wait for that day, but will soon be found and killed by them."
