Chapter 8: The Line Between Life and Death
"Whew!"
The shrill scream clearly revealed the anger, and there was the sound of more and more heavy objects falling behind him, Lin Dui couldn't help but glance back, the giant rat that was chasing the tightest was already ten meters behind him, and its sharp claws continued to expand the pipe, chasing frantically.
"Oops!"
He stumbled on his feet and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Filina reached out in time to help. His heart was restless, and the strength in his legs gradually withdrew.
But he also knew that he had to try to escape for his life now, as for stopping and fighting back? The magazine of the gun in his hand has long been empty! With a knife? Are you kidding! Behind him is a bunch of giant rats!
"How far is it?"
Hearing this, Filina shone the flashlight into the depths of the passage, squinted a few times, and then returned: "It's not far away!" Run a little faster! Otherwise, there won't even be time to climb up! ”
Taking a deep breath, he only felt his lungs burning, and with the help of the afterglow of the flashlight, he tried not to trip himself, and he could barely see the ladder up in front of him.
"Wait a minute, you go up first! You're so clumsy! ”
Lin Du suddenly turned his head, but in this pitch-black environment, he couldn't see Phirina's expression clearly. In an instant, a faint warmth rose in his heart. The monster behind him was in hot pursuit, and those who stayed behind were in great danger without accident.
The ladder was already in front of him, and he suddenly made a decision in his heart. Reaching out and pushing Ferina, he yelled, "Hurry up!" I'm injured for a maximum of two days to recuperate! You're going to get hurt! That's the D-virus! ”
Firina nodded her head and immediately began to climb upwards. Looking at the red eyes that were getting closer and closer, Lin Du pulled out the knife from his waist and held it in his right hand, and followed Filina to climb quickly.
"Wow!"
The manhole cover was pushed open and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and Filina climbed out in a few clicks, then turned around and stretched out her hand to Su Xing.
The dazzling sunlight shone on his face, and Lin Dui slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he held Philina's slender hand with his big rough hand. Suddenly, he noticed that Filina's expression had changed, and she opened her mouth as if to shout something.
The right leg was suddenly entangled, and Lin Du showed a wry smile on his face. A tugging force came from his right leg, and he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly let go of Filina's hand.
"Live well! If you want to thank me! Just burn me your underwear! ”
After roaring, his body fell heavily to the ground, and he was a little out of breath in pain. Tilting his head slightly, the claws that had been pitch black had already grabbed at him, and just as he was dying, he suddenly noticed that the wall on the left side of the passage was shaking.
Sail!
Before he could react, a huge figure broke through the pipe and pounced directly on the giant rat. With the light falling overhead, he could clearly see what it looked like.
The hideous and massive head with two horns bit the giant rat, huge black-brown spikes spread from the neck to the tail, the body was covered with large scales, and under the two thick forelimbs, were two terrible black claws.
"Roar!"
The roar pierced the sky, and at this moment, Lin Du even forgot about the very important matter of taking the opportunity to escape. His mind was full of the monster's furious gesture of looking up and roaring.
"Hurry up!"
A suppressed voice came from overhead, and Lin Dui instantly came back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat. Before he was about to climb out, he tilted his head slightly and saw the monster biting the giant rat, its completely dark eyes glinting with brutality.
Following Firina all the way across the street, Lin Du suddenly noticed that there were no mutant beasts on the street. Even in those collapsed pipes, there was no sign of the giant rat chasing it.
"What the hell! The last time I saw it, it was five years ago, and I thought it had left the city! ”
Closing the door, Filina's face turned a little blue. She lay on her stomach and looked nervously outside, her voice full of fear.
"What the hell is that?"
Su Xing squeezed to Philina's side, staring across the street through the small window on the iron door. At the collapsed pipe, hideous spikes could be faintly seen, glittering with metal in the sunlight.
"Deathclaws! Half of the city's survivors have died at its claws, and even the hordes of giant rats are no match for it! It's the king here! ”
The scene he had just seen flashed back to his mind, and Lin Du shuddered. The body of that thing was like it was made for killing.
"Let's get out of here!"
He couldn't resist making suggestions. The other party easily broke through the reinforced concrete wall, and the door blocked with wood and iron plates could not stop that kind of thing.
"If it wants to kill us, we can't escape!"
As she spoke, Philina had a happy look on her face. Lin Du looked out and saw the deathclaws crawl out of the pipe and run wildly into the distance.
"Hoo ......"
Firina patted her breast, which was beginning to take shape, and Lin Du also let out a sigh of relief and sat on the ground. The back of the sweaty ** came from a cold feeling at this time.
"I'm a little tired, I'll go to the upper room and sleep first!"
"Go ahead, I'll go to the underground garage!"
Nodding, Lin Du struggled to stand up, he stepped on the stairs and walked upstairs, his body was full of soreness, especially the back that had just hit the ground.
The exhaustion of the body is not as good as the exhaustion of the heart, and in just two days, counting the time of Filina, he faced the danger of dying four times.
For a person like him, who grew up in a peaceful world, the heavy feeling in his heart has long overwhelmed him.
But it's okay...... At least not alone. At least there is a little woman with a good heart as a companion.
Pushing open the door of the original room, in the leaky room, looking at the shabby mattress, he couldn't help but feel a lot calmer.
"Let me see, what the hell are you up to!"
Taking his phone out of his pocket, he lay down on the mattress, wrapped himself in a blanket, and began to examine it carefully. Speaking of which, since I got this phone, I haven't had a chance to fiddle with it properly.
The shape of the mobile phone is very ordinary, similar to the phablet sold on the street. Flipping to the back, he found the problem, there was no logo on the black metal case on the back of the phone.
Flipping to the front, the middle of the pitch-black screen already shows a countdown to return to the original time and space. Wait a minute! His eyes widened suddenly, and an icon appeared in the upper right corner of the screen at some point.
It was a small tree with seven forks, and it had a number of '15%' next to it. As soon as the vanished box flashed to his mind, there was a 'clang' sound in the room.
"It's really a space storage capacity!"
Lin Du got up with a grunt and walked over to the broken box to see that it contained the bullets that he hadn't been able to take with him.
