Chapter 115: I Have a Story, Do You Have Wine (6)
"What are you doing here?" The boy was shocked and angry, but he put the knife away, "I'll let you go now, don't make a sound, understand?" I nodded when I understood. โ
2B nodded with tears in his eyes.
The boy let go of his hand and the girl sniffled, "I I ......"
"Shut up and stammer!"
The girl was startled and obediently shut up.
The boy moved his ears, and he heard heavy footsteps coming from deep in the hallway, middle-aged men approaching with swearing, and indistinct voices coming down the corridor...... Hell, the patrol team was coming sooner than he expected, and in less than fifteen minutes, the patrolling security guards were already down. The boy looked left and right, there was no other fork in the passage, and there was no place to hide, and there was a restaurant next to him, but there was no other way out of the restaurant.
There's no hiding in the restaurant, and security guards are bound to search for it.
Damn it...... It was just the last bit, and the boy was only a stone's throw away from the elevator, but he couldn't get any way there now.
He can't be found, and once he is caught, he may never have a chance to escape.
The girl hid behind him timidly, 2B didn't know why the boy was here, and she didn't dare ask.
The boy began to mentally estimate what his chances would be if he faced the security guards head-on...... He only had one person and a knife, and there were five people in the patrol, each of whom was a good Marine, and he was fully armed, and in such a narrow corridor, the other party would be beaten into a sieve as long as he pulled the trigger to shuttle, and there was not even anything to use as cover.
If there is a head-on conflict, your chances of winning will definitely be zero...... He kills at most one or two people on the other side and is then shot in the head.
And what about sneak attacks?
Pretend to surrender first, and then riot and kill?
The boy shook his head, there were too many people on the other side, even if he pretended to surrender, at least two of the five people would definitely keep their distance and stay on guard, and even if he could kill the three people in close quarters, he would be killed by the last two.
Damn it...... Is there no way? The boy clutched the knife tightly in his hand, he was not reconciled, he was only one last step away from this hell, but he was blocked at the last level.
Zhao ...... Brother Zhao Gao ...... "2B gently tugged at the boy's sleeve, she didn't know what the boy was thinking, she just wanted him to take her back."
"Don't make a noise." The boy said coldly, shaking off the girl's hand.
"Brother Zhao Gao......"
"I told you not to argue, don't you understand?" Annoyed, the boy turned around and pressed the girl against the wall, lowered his voice and scolded viciously, his expression was hideous, he grabbed 2B's neck, and leaned close to her ear, "If you make any more noise, I'll kill you." โ
The girl was stunned, and tears fell down her cheeks.
"Don't cry!" The boy threatened, "I'll kill you if I cry." โ
The girl held back her tears again, opened her eyes, tears swirled in her eyes, but she didn't dare to fall.
"Listen." The boy whispered, "I want you to do me a favor." โ

The man slung his rifle behind his back, pulled out a box of flattened cigarettes from his jacket pocket, and pulled out one and held it in his mouth.
He patted the person in front of him, "Brother, borrow a fire." โ
The man took out the lighter from his pocket and was about to hand it over, when the ground under his feet suddenly shook, and the dull sound of explosions reached the ears of several people through the surrounding walls, and the dust fell in a puff, and the hand holding the lighter trembled, and the flame was extinguished in the trembling.
"Damn, those cannon boys." The man took a sip, so he had to take the lighter and light the cigarette himself, he took a deep puff of the cigarette, squinted his eyes and leaned against the wall of the corridor, and slowly exhaled the smoke ring, "Can't you blow it up on time?" โ
"The bombing site is less than 500 meters away from us." Someone said, "This time the cyclical shock seems to be more severe than before?" Never before had a zombie been able to rush so far. โ
As soon as the words fell, there was another series of deafening explosions, a volley of a heavy howitzer battalion, and the shells landed almost simultaneously.
The man patted the dust on his shoulder, "You don't care how far the fuck can go, this is a question that those people on the ground should consider, and there is one last layer, hurry up and call it a day and go back to sleep." โ
The rest of the people nodded, patrolling was really a light and boring errand, many times these soldiers didn't understand what the purpose of such a tight defense in the institute was, this was just a scientific research institution, not a bank vault or an intelligence department, who would break into the institute without anything?
But they were still given the right to shoot suspicious people, and their superiors gave them the strictest orders to make no mistakes, and the soldiers knew that there was a group of children living in this institute, and they privately jokingly called it a kindergarten, and a whole team of Marines was stationed in a kindergarten, which made them wonder if these children were the illegitimate children of some of the company's top executives.
The patrol team consisted of five people, equipped with night vision devices and automatic rifles, and they inspected the various floors of the institute one by one, not letting go of any corner, which was a meticulous but boring job, and at this time the institute was completely empty, and the men were more often checking the water, electricity, and fire hazards in the corridors, and they all felt that they were completely superfluous with guns...... They have been completely turned into community properties.
The men leaned against the wall and smoked, and according to the rule they had to walk in a lap in fifteen minutes, but this rule was not usually very strict, and it didn't matter if it was two minutes faster or two minutes slower occasionally, at least they didn't lack time for this cigarette.
The other four members of the patrol stood by to rest, and some of them pulled cigarettes out of their pockets.
Cigarettes are a working benefit for Marines, and in this era, cigarettes and alcohol are both consumables that are difficult to obtain, and are even classified as strategic resources, and companies will prioritize the supply of combatants, which is difficult for ordinary people to obtain. A Marine gets a pack of cigarettes a month, either American or Japanese, plus two bottles of alcohol, vodka or whiskey.
The explosion became more and more intense, mixed with the roar of helicopter rotors and the roar of heavy machine guns, and people were trying their best to resist the impact of the zombie tide, which must be a very spectacular scene, but unfortunately the five of them who stayed underground could not be seen.
The man leaned over and put the cigarette butt out on the floor, and was suddenly stunned, and the light behind the corner of the hallway cast a small shadow on the floor, and the shadow appeared halfway from behind the corner, and flashed.
"Attention...... There is a case! The man reminded in a low voice.
The rest of the men immediately became alert and raised the barrels of their guns.
"There's something." The man held an automatic rifle and pointed to the hallway ahead, "Slowly approach." โ
Little by little, the patrol approached, lightly, trying not to make the slightest sound, and they gradually approached the corner of the corridor, like lions hiding in the grass to hunt antelopes.
The man held his breath, his palms began to sweat, he didn't know who else would be wandering outside in the middle of the night, this institute was actually a rather eerie place, many horror legends comparable to ghost stories were widely circulated among the Marines, many corridors and areas were not allowed to be approached by the soldiers, but they could hear a sharp and piercing howl as they passed by in the vicinity.
The man leaned his back against the wall, gripping the handle of his gun to adjust his breathing, the muscles of his limbs tensed, ready to be captured.
At the sound of his command, the patrol soldiers were able to pounce and knock each other to the ground.
A breath rises from the lungs and enters the mouth and nose along the trachea, and just as the man was about to shout "up", there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind the corner of the corridor! The target is on the run!
"Up!" The man drank.
The soldiers pounced, they only caught a vague shadow rushing into the restaurant, the Marines followed, but they did not rush in, and after confirming that there was no danger in the restaurant, the soldiers slowly pushed open the door of the restaurant.
There were no lights on in the cafeteria, and it was pitch black, but the Marines were generally equipped with night vision devices, and darkness was not an obstacle, and there was no place to hide in the cafeteria, the only place where people could hide was a drink cabinet placed against the wall.
This thief is stupid.
The man sneered in his heart...... He ran into a dead end, he beckoned, and the rest of the people surrounded him with guns, and the four muzzles of the guns pointed at the door of the cabinet in unison, and then the man stepped forward and slowly opened the cabinet with his feet.
Everyone was stunned.
There was only a little girl in the cupboard, curled up and shivering.
Just a kid? The man frowned, there were a lot of children in the institute, it might just be a lost little girl.
"Who are you? Don't be afraid...... Uncle, I'm not a bad person, what's your name? The man took off his night vision goggles and crouched down to try to talk to the girl, "Shall I take you back?" โ
Hell, why does that sound so obscene?
"I, I, ......"
"Which room do you live in?" The man squeezed out a smile and came in to make himself look kinder, "Uncles send you back." โ
The little girl nodded, but then looked horrified.
A small, nimble shadow slowly fell from the ceiling and landed behind the soldiers.
