Chapter 86: The Texas Skinners (6)
It was completely dark, and the weather today was better than yesterday, although there was no moonlight, there was no heavy rain and no hail, and a sudden hailstorm last night disrupted Lu Xun's plan, and also sent Belle and Lu Xun to the hospital. As the day and night passed, all the ice ballast that had fallen to the ground had melted.
Ai Ye fell asleep on the edge of the bed, Lu Xun covered her with a blanket, and then leaned on the pillow to think about the problem.
"What is the Executive Department doing at this time?" Lu Xun asked.
"Martial law security zone, anti-infantry mines planted in the cemetery, ready to eliminate ghouls." Lao Jia replied, "With the colonel personally in command, you can rest assured that his experience is something you won't be able to catch up with in the next life." ”
"Of course I'm relieved that the colonel is out." Lu Xun said, "But what does it mean to bury mines in a cemetery? ”
"American-made M18A1 Broadsword anti-infantry mine, do you remember? There was also a batch in the warehouse that had not been used, and the colonel had moved those things out. Lao Jia replied, "They put landmines in the cemetery, and if something goes to rob the grave, it will be blown to pieces by the mines." ”
Lu Xun was stunned for a while...... It's really the old fellow's style.
"Hee-hee."
Lu Xun was stunned, raised his head, and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Lao Jia asked.
Lu Xun frowned, "I seem to hear something......
"What sound?" Lao Jia asked.
"Didn't you hear? It seems to be laughter......" Lu Xun said, "a very sudden laughter." ”
Lu Xun looked around, Ai Ye was lying on the side of the bed, sleeping soundly, there was no one else in the ward, only a few empty beds were placed against the wall, the curtains had been put away, there were water bottles and glasses on the bedside table, the lights were very bright, the floor was scrubbed smooth and translucent, and everything was clean and clear.
There was no place to hide people in the ward, but Lu Xun did hear someone's laughter just now, and it was very small, Lu Xun didn't have time to distinguish the source, he only felt that the voice was crisp, like the voice of a boy before the voice change period.
Lu Xun and Lao Jia both pricked up their ears and were silent for several minutes, and there was silence in the ward, except for the ticking of the wall clock and the breathing of Ai Ye, there was no other sound.
"Lu Xun, are you hallucinating?" Lao Jia said, "At this time, there is no one else in the hospital, the safe zone is under martial law, and at night the doctors and nurses should have taken refuge." ”
Lu Xun wondered, could it really be that he was hallucinating?
"You're too stressed, so it's normal for this kind of problem to occur." Lao Jia said, "You should pay attention to rest and let your brain relax in time......
"Hee-hee."
"Lao Jia shut up." Lu Xun heard the laughter again, he sat up straight suddenly, looked vigilantly, and quietly reached under the pillow with one hand to reach out for the pistol, holding the handle of the gun, "Listen carefully." ”
Lao Jia stopped talking and listened carefully.
"Hee-hee-hee."
There was indeed a ghostly laughter wafting past their ears, and it sounded very abrupt, for there were no other sounds, no footsteps, no talking, only sudden laughter, like rootless water.
"Is it an auditory hallucination?" Lu Xun asked quietly.
"It's not an auditory hallucination, I heard it too." Lao Jia was taken aback, and his voice suddenly became nervous, "Is it a boy's voice?" Where did it come from? ”
Lu Xun pointed to the wall beside him, and across the wall was the corridor of the hospital, and the laughter just now was floating through the corridor.
"Hell yes, there shouldn't be anyone else in the hospital at this time." Lao Jia said, "It sounds like a boy, how can there be a boy in the hospital?" ”
Lu Xun covered Ai Ye's mouth, and then gently patted her cheek.
The girl woke up from her sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Xun leaning in front of her, who held up an index signal to be quiet, "Shhhhhh
"Don't make a sound, don't speak, don't move, can you understand what I mean?" Lu Xun whispered softly.
Ai Ye didn't understand what was going on, but she had always been obedient, and she would do whatever Lu Xun asked her to do, so she nodded.
Lu Xun slowly let go of his hand, Ai Ye closed his mouth and looked at Lu Xun, his eyes full of doubts and surprise.
Lu Xun lifted the quilt lightly and slowly moved his legs, it seemed that he wanted to get out of bed, Ai Ye was anxious when she saw it, she obviously remembered the nurse's advice, Lu Xun's brother's injuries were not healed, and he couldn't get out of bed and move.
"It's fine." Lu Xun shook his head and said that it was okay, he slowly got down from the bed quietly, his calf was injured and he couldn't bear the strength, so he could only kneel on the ground, kneeling on the floor, holding Ai Ye in one hand and holding a pistol in the other, hiding behind the hospital bed.
"Get down." Lu Xun stared at the door of the ward and whispered softly, "Hide under the bed." ”
Ai Ye blinked, his face full of dazedness.
"Good, obedient."
The little girl nodded, slowly lay down, and got under the bed little by little.
Ai Ye hid, Lu Xun also lay down, got under the bed, and moved forward with a pistol in his hand, until he could see the opposite door from under the bed, this is a passive strategy to deal with the enemy, if the enemy enters through the door, then the first thing the enemy sees due to the height must be the hospital bed - unless he crawls in, otherwise the person walking upright will definitely not be able to see under the bed at a glance.
And Lu Xun, who is hiding under the bed, will definitely be able to see the other party one step before the enemy, and he will be able to attack first.
Lu Xun raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the door of the ward.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Hee-hee-ha-ha...... "The laughter is getting closer and clearer.
Ai Ye was very dazed and ignorant, but she also began to get nervous, Lu Xun's performance was obviously like a great enemy, the girl was lying next to Lu Xun, her body trembling slightly.
Lu Xun was also a little nervous, he really couldn't escape from him, so he came out of this strategy to hide under the bed, if his legs and feet were not injured, then the first choice should be to jump out of the window with Ai Ye and escape.
The laughter stopped in front of the door of the ward, and Lu Xun's heart sank, which meant that the person who was laughing stopped in front of the door.
The doorknob of the ward turned little by little, the deadbolt and the lock cylinder made a slight metal friction sound, and even the wooden door made a scratching sound, as if someone was scratching the door panel with their fingernails, Lu Xun's heart rose to his throat, he swallowed his saliva, and stabilized the gun in his hand.
With a "click", the deadbolt retreated.
This was followed by a long twisting sound of the doorshaft, a "crunch."
Lu Xun's index finger slowly pulled the trigger of the pistol.
While the other party was still scanning the ward to find a target, he shot all the bullets.
Lu Xun's ward is less than ten meters away from the door, such a close distance, Lu Xun is confident that he will have a perfect headshot, he hid under the bed just to create a time difference of half a second, he can be half a second faster than the other party, half a second is enough to decide the victory and defeat and life and death.
The door of the ward slowly opened for a short time and stopped, only enough for one person to pass sideways, there was no light in the corridor, and the space outside the door was pitch black, and I didn't know what was hidden.
Lu Xun stared at the corridor behind the door, and the next moment in the darkness there was a possibility that a pair of claws would come out, or a pair of legs might come out, if it wasn't a normal person, then Lu Xun would shoot all the bullets in his hand.
There was a dead silence all around.
Lu Xun waited for a full half a minute, nothing happened, and the dark corridor behind the door was still silent, like a pool of pitch-black stagnant water, with neither claws poking in nor legs stepping in.
It was as if the man had just come to open the door, and he opened the door and left.
Lu Xun frowned, what's going on?
Ai Ye beside him suddenly grabbed Lu Xun's clothes tightly, and trembled with fright, "Lu ...... Land Patrol ...... Brother ......"
"Ai Ye is not afraid." Lu Xun whispered that he didn't have the time to comfort the little girl now, and he had to be preoccupied with vigilance, "I'm here." ”
Lu ...... Land Patrol ...... Brother, there is ...... Someone...... ...... looking at us," the girl trembled and pointed to the door, "he ...... He stared at ...... We, keep an eye on us. ”
Someone staring at themselves?
Lu Xun was stunned, he had been guarding the door, why didn't he find anyone? The next moment, Lu Xun was so excited that his hands trembled, he almost couldn't hold the gun, cold sweat poured out from the pores all over his body, and at that moment Lu Xun was really exploding.
Someone was indeed staring at him.
That person was in the darkness behind the door, and he spotted the other party even earlier than Lu Xun...... Lu Xun thought that he could be half a second faster than the enemy by hiding under the bed, but in fact, he was discovered the moment the door opened.
Lu Xun saw a blurry head, just on the floor behind the door, staring straight at him.
The other party has been staring at him for half a minute.
