Volume 2 The Return of the Stars Chapter 41 Touched
It gets dark quickly and completely, and the safe zone camp, which has lost its main power supply, has set up piles of bonfires to save electricity, and they only use electricity when they need it most.
In the small houses in the camp, the survivors with candles took turns to watch the night, no one was sure when the monster would come, the temperature was very low at night, but they could only endure it.
Jiang Luo walked down the street, and the little boy squatting in front of the store was breathing at the glass, and then writing on the fog with his hand, as if he was thinking about someone.
"Didn't you say, don't run around at night!" A woman ran from a distance, glanced at Jiang Luo, who was dressed in black, vigilantly, and took the little boy's hand and walked back to the house quickly.
The entire security zone was built on the basis of a suburban town, so there are still some buildings that provide shelter, and it is not clear how the town's original inhabitants compromised with the large number of immigrants. During the day, the safe zone is calm and even a little deadly, and at night there is an oppressive tension on everyone's face, the streets are empty, the doors and windows of every house are closed, and they are afraid of not only monsters but also people.
There are not a few people who take the opportunity to commit evil and crimes under the cover of the night, after all, without the constraints of the civilized era, some people can do whatever they want.
Jiang Luo came to the entire tallest six-story building on the outskirts of the security zone, which was supposed to be a large hotel, standing out from the crowd of low-rise bungalows around it. The iron doors of the building were closed, but there was some light in the building. Fortunately, such old-fashioned buildings generally have drainage pipes, and it took him more than ten minutes to finally climb to the roof of the sixth floor, but the iron door was locked from the inside.
He leaned against the wall and looked up at the dark night sky, closing his eyes to recuperate. About two or three hours had passed, and at one o'clock in the morning, a scream broke the silence of the night.
Jiang Luo opened his eyes suddenly, lying on the rooftop and following the sound, where the wooden wall was built on the outermost part of the safety zone, a black creature was riding on the wall and jumping into the safety zone, like a tide. The first place to scream was a small bungalow closest to the wooden wall, and the place where the sound came out was the first to attract the attention of the monster, and the tide that was surging in the darkness rushed to the bungalow. They screamed hoarsely around the bungalow, like ghosts, but they couldn't break through the concrete walls.
Two hundred meters away, through the moonlight Jiang Luo, he could basically determine that these invading ghouls were the monsters they encountered in the ruins! The guess was right, they released these monsters from the tomb after entering the ruins, but they didn't know how many of them were, but from the current point of view, it was dense like a black tide.
Didn't Liu Chao say that there are only a dozen ghouls in normal times, and the number of them tonight seems to be a little weird.
The group of ghouls circled the bungalow a few times but could not do anything, and eventually wandered the streets like lonely ghosts, but the doors were closed, and they could only dance their teeth and claws through the walls.
These ghouls look like monkeys in intelligence, and the survivors of the safe zone don't have to be afraid of these things if they are on guard!
"Ah......h
A scream broke the restored calm again, and this time the place where the sound came from was in the small building where Jiang Luo was!
"What the hell is going on?"
"I'm rubbing! Here they are! ”
"Block the door!"
There was a violent quarrel downstairs, Jiang Luo looked downstairs, and the ghouls wandering on the street seemed to have found a torrent of catharsis, and quickly climbed up to the second floor, where a window was opened from the inside. They flooded into the second floor, starting with a dozen of them, but soon formed a black band from the ground to the second floor.
"That turtle grandson is gone, he must have done it!"
......
Within half an hour, there was a tumultuous sound downstairs, screams, screams, chaotic footsteps, and even gunshots, but this gunshot, of course, killed one or two ghouls, but it attracted the attention of more ghouls, and the sound of this gunfire was like a flare gun in the silent dark night, and all the ghouls were attracted to it.
Soon, the sound of footsteps from the sixth floor made Jiang Luo's heart tighten, it should be that group of people who fled to the rooftop. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he crawled behind the tank and hid.
The iron door of the rooftop was opened, and to my surprise, the person who came in turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Yuanyuan, you hide here, I'll be back in a while." It was the middle-aged man Xianwei.
The little girl named Xian Yuanyuan was dressed as a maid, but it was still dirty, and her white stockings were dusty and gray. She didn't speak, but she tugged at Xianwei's sleeve.
Xian Wei was stunned for a moment with his back to her, sighed heavily, as if he had made up his mind, strode into the iron door, and with a bang, he locked the iron door from the inside.
In this way, the iron door of the rooftop is completely locked, and the monster downstairs has no wisdom to open this bolt, no matter what happens below, as soon as the ghoul retreats during the day, then Xian Yuanyuan can be rescued by calling someone to open the iron door of the rooftop.
Xian Yuanyuan sat on the ground and looked at the locked iron door, the moonlight shining on her, and the gray maid's outfit looked extremely bleak.
The footsteps downstairs were hurried and panicked, accompanied by the man's heavy gasps, Jiang Luo could guess from the sound of him trying to open the deadbolt that he should have gone through a life-and-death struggle to escape to the rooftop on the sixth floor, but the iron door had been locked, and it would take him time to open it again.
Just as he was about to open the deadbolt, Xian Wei, who was hiding in a dark corner, slammed an iron rod at him. The man seemed wary and avoided the fatal blow, but he was hit in the left shoulder and lost sensation in his entire left arm. He reflexively pulled the trigger of his right hand, and with a loud gunshot, Xian Wei was hit in the abdomen, and he crouched down with his abdomen covered in pain, but did not make any sound.
"You bastard, you dare to harm me......" he spat and put the pistol in his arms, and continued to move the solid deadbolt with his right hand with difficulty.
Jiang Luo could hear his heavy breathing through the iron door, but after a while, he heard a panicked voice again.
"Ri mark, you madman, let go of me, I don't want to die with you!"
Then came the cold sizzle of the ghouls, and they came after them!
At this moment, Xian Wei, who was shot, exerted an amazing force, and he hugged the man's leg tightly and dragged it back, preventing him from opening the iron bolt.
"Crazy! Lunatic! Let go, let go! The dull sound of a fist hitting the back came from behind the door.
"Ah, I'm ....... you"
Five ghouls jumped up the stairs from the sixth floor, and the man ran towards the end of the hallway, firing three shots in succession, but failing to hit any of them, and after running out of bullets, five ghouls jumped on him like monkeys and tore his throat with sharp claws and teeth.
"Gollum...... Gollum ......"
Blood was gurgling down his throat, and Xian Wei, who was lying on the ground, sat up against the iron door, and let out a miserable laugh as he looked at the approaching group of white ghouls covered in rubber.
"Bang ......"
Like the sound of wild dogs hitting the iron gates, and the chewing sound of wild dogs as they eat, it is very clear in the silence of the night.
They're eating, they're swallowing.......
After a long time, Xian Yuanyuan looked at the quiet iron door, and shed a line of tears, she slowly stood up, and walked to the edge of the roof with her legs a little awkward, there were still many ghouls downstairs, but they no longer gathered here at the moment, probably because the "food" in the building was gone.
She closed her eyes and leaned downstairs...... A hand grabbed her.
"He doesn't want you to do that!" Jiang Luo said with some sadness.
After all, Xian Yuanyuan was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she couldn't bear everything she had experienced these days, she threw herself into Jiang Luo's arms and cried wildly, but as soon as she cried, she seemed to think of something, so she buried her head on Jiang Luo's shoulder and sobbed in a low voice.
She knew what was going on behind the door, and Jiang Luo could roughly guess what had happened to her these days. What else can it be to be robbed by an adult man and dressed up like this, except to meet the requirements of some gentlemen? It was the best outcome that she hadn't been tortured to death, but the man avenged her at the cost of his own life.
Jiang Luo didn't know how to evaluate it, in the two months after the end came, his painful experience had already exceeded the sum of the first half of his life. After seeing a lot of ugliness and selfishness in human nature, he was still a little touched by what the man named Xian Wei did. Is it helplessness, or is it stupidity? Jiang Luo thought to himself that if it was him...... No, if it were himself, he wouldn't let this kind of thing happen, Jiang Luo wouldn't let anyone hurt the people around him, whether it was relatives or friends, as long as they were strong enough, no one would be able to hurt them! In the final analysis, it is because he is too weak, too weak to resist, unable to resist!
Since the end of the world, Jiang Luo has always been at peace with what happens, even if he may have mutated and possessed some supernormal abilities, he has never been able to face it squarely, and he can't really use it.
But if this kind of thing happens to him, wait until he is hurt to take revenge? No, stop the damage in the first place! In more than 20 years of his life, he has never been so eager to become stronger.
Xian Yuanyuan fell asleep crying and crying, Jiang Luo looked at the night sky and the ghouls scurrying around not far away and fell into deep thought, and unconsciously fell asleep against the wall.
When he woke up again, it was almost dawn, and the ghouls were long gone, so he carefully let Xian Yuanyuan lean against the water tank, and then climbed down the drain pipe on the roof to the fifth floor, and then went straight through the window.
The whole building was filled with the pungent smell of blood, the corpses were as if they had been corroded by sulfur, the skin was gone, the surface was pitted, the flesh on the body was torn off many pieces, most of the area was only bones, all the internal organs were gone, and the intestines flowed outside along the large hole in the stomach. The head was even more horrific, his mouth was torn and dislocated, and the ghoul ate his brain from his mouth upwards.
Jiang Luo forced his vomit through the corpses to the corridor at the entrance to the rooftop on the sixth floor.
It was a Sven man in a white shirt, but at this time he couldn't see his appearance, but he looked like a white-collar gentleman in terms of size. Both of his eyes were ripped out, his mouth was also dislocated, his brain should have been eaten, and the tragic situation in other places was the same as the corpse before.
Jiang Luo searched out two pistols from him, these are Shuangqi pistols, which are equipped with guns for grassroots police, and the biggest advantage of this pistol is that it is easy to use. Jiang Luo carefully wiped the blood stains on the gun, and after making sure that the safety was turned off, he put the two pistols in his trouser pocket.
He dragged the body of the man in the white shirt straight from the window at the end of the hallway and threw it downstairs, then turned to look at another body.
The corpse that had fallen in front of the iron door was no longer recognizable, Jiang Luo took out the gauze he found from the fifth floor and covered his corpse, and then dragged it aside.
After doing this, he unscrewed the iron bolt. On the rooftop, Xian Yuanyuan was still asleep leaning against the water tank, Jiang Luo sighed, picked her up, and walked downstairs.
