With weapons in hand, we walked down the stairs step by step, and there was silence all around, and it was so quiet that it was heartbreaking. There are also light box advertisements hanging on the walls along the way, some of which are still intact, and some of the glass is smashed. I took a flashlight, and there was an advertisement for an operator endorsed by a celebrity, a McDonald's advertisement for a special lunch, and a real estate advertisement for a prime location that only sold for XXXX yuan.

In a trance, I felt like I was back in that familiar era. The brand recognition and values accumulated by people over the decades have become underground historical relics in just one month. It's not just the brand, but the wealth, status, and reputation of people, which we once thought were solid, turned out to be as fragile as bubbles.

I think this devastating impact on civilization is the contradiction that needs to be overcome most in our minds.

For some reason, I felt as if my surroundings were wet, and my body involuntarily slowed down. Suddenly, a diffuse halo appeared at the end of the flashlight, and for a moment I didn't realize what it was.

"How can there be water?" Xiao Jiu's exclamation revealed the answer.

That's right, water! The bottom of the staircase was flooded, and the water was at least knee-high. Under the light of the flashlight, the stairs and floor tiles under the water surface were distorted. Looking at this scene, I smiled bitterly and said, "Hey guys, is it too late to turn back?" ”

Needless to say, everyone's faces are green.

I shone on the water again, and the light reflected in the water, and my face shook gently in the water.

"This, how can there be water under the subway?" Xiao Rou asked softly.

Because it was too quiet and the space was empty, there were some echoes when I spoke.

Ye Lao said: "Maybe it was caused by the heavy rain for days this month, and the rain rushed into the subway. ”

I thought about it, this statement is still relatively reliable, since the outbreak, the door of the subway has not been closed, and no one has carried out maintenance and flood drainage, and the rainwater has invisibly rushed in from various channels.

I raised the flashlight a little higher and shone it into the distance, and in addition to the escalator sign hanging on the ceiling, there was a large arrow on the wall pointing to the right passage, and the arrow drew the image of a subway train, and next to it was written:

"→ Subway, Exit B-E".

This means that to get to Exit E, we also have to wade through the right passage to the metro station lobby and from the lobby follow the signs to Exit E.

The flashlight disappeared around the corner of the passage on the right, and it was pitch black in the passage, as if something would pop up at any moment.

Guan Fei put Lu Feng down temporarily, and Xiao Jiu hurriedly took out a first-aid kit to treat his wounds. Under the light, Lu Feng's abdomen was even more swollen than before, and even if Xiao Jiu didn't say it, we knew the urgency of the situation. No matter how dangerous it is, you have to wade through the water.

At this time, there was a sudden "Bang!" from the top of the stairs. The loud bang almost didn't freak us out.

I hurriedly shone my flashlight on the stairs behind me. At the edge of the long staircase, an upside-down terrifying head suddenly protruded from the aperture.

"Uhhh......h

I recognized that this should be one of the deceased who had been slashed by Ye Lao just now, maybe it had just hit its throat. Its head turned 180 degrees behind its back, its eyes downside down to look at us, its long hair dragging down the stairs towards us.

Xiao Rou was so frightened that she screamed, regardless of whether this zombie was powerful or not, but in terms of horror, it was god-level. Behind it, a number of black shadows were about to move, and it seemed that the roller gate had been knocked open.

"Guan Fei, hurry up and get on the land wind, we're leaving!" I shouted.

A large number of zombies began to pounce, Ye Lao quickly swung the Miao knife and stabbed them on the head, but there were too many of them, and I also hid behind him and used my saber to stab those fish that slipped through the net.

Guan Fei jumped into the water with a "bang", and Xiao Lin and Xiao Jiu also jumped down.

"Let's go too!" I said a word to Ye Lao, and then walked down.

"Wow!" The icy water soaked into the thighs, and the coldness spread across the head, limbs, and body. Countless tiny particles floated on the surface of the water, and I didn't know if it was foam or what, and I felt like my whole person was floating in the empty space of the universe, and the primordial fear invaded my whole body.

I began to wade forward with difficulty, but the resistance in the water made it difficult for me to walk. Guan Fei and the others were also trudging hard, and Lu Feng's feet were stretched into the water, and he only hoped that his wounds were okay.

I didn't hear the sound of Ye Lao going into the water, so I was about to turn my head to look for him, but as soon as the flashlight shone back, a hideous face was pasted up, almost touching my face, so scared that I didn't take a breath. I hurriedly paddled with both hands and on the surface of the water, while my feet increased the speed of the water and ran forward.

Who knew that even then I was running slowly, and the dead man pounced on me and bit me on the neck. At the last moment, I plunged into the water. Sure enough, the resistance of the water caused the zombie to hit the surface of the water headlong and didn't bite me.

At that moment, a long knife passed through the back of its head, and it fell. Ye Lao was wading over and shouted, "Run!" ”

Behind him, the black water surface was splashed with countless splashes, and the corpses that crowded the passage rushed like waves.

I turned around and ran, wading forward with both ** substitutions. Ye Lao deserved to have joined the army, and he quickly caught up with me and shouted: "Child, hit the ground with your toes, and run while jumping!" ”

I didn't have time to think about it, so I immediately followed my words. At first, I didn't master the technique well, and I almost fell, but then I got used to it and got faster.

The sound of wading in the water behind him is like countless man-eating pomfret jumping out of the water, which is very scary. Most of the corpses were still slow-walkers, but the vanguard had been replaced by faster speedwalkers. Although they don't understand Ye Lao's wading method, their speed of progress is not slower than ours.

We caught up with Guan Fei and told them to speed up as well. The group ran to the passage on the right.

Along the way, we ran quite hard. In the flickering lights, I could see many newspapers, plastic bags, paper scraps, and garbage cans half floating on the water.

The sound of wading water behind him was still in my ears, and in addition to that, the sound of crude whimpering, convulsive breathing, and the sound of limbs colliding filled the entire passageway.

After about three minutes of running, we finally ran out of the aisle and into the waiting hall.

"Over there!" Guan Fei pointed to the wall with a flashlight, which was marked with "Exit →B-E", so we continued to turn right and ran towards another passage.

Guan Fei ran in front, followed by Ye Lao, Xiao Jiu and I ran behind him, and Xiao Rou unconsciously fell to the end. Suddenly, she let out a scream of "ah", probably kicked something hard, and fell head-on into the water with a "poof".

At this time, the dead also rushed out of the passage. I was taken aback, and quickly ran over to pick her up, struggling to get up, and dragged her on.

Xiao Jiu suddenly screamed: "Watch the back!" ”

I didn't have to look back to know what was going on, and I quickly made a decision, so I quickly said in Xiao Rou's ear: "Take a deep breath!" Then he pressed her head into the water, and at the same time took a breath and buried her head in the water.

"Whoa!" The icy water covered my entire head, and I felt like I was diving into a deep ocean, with darkness and fear enveloping me.

The next moment, countless feet began to pass by us, and Xiao Rou reflexively hugged me tightly, trembling with fear. Luckily, the smell disappeared after diving into the water, and the walking corpses above didn't notice us. I tried my best to endure the pain of being kicked and trampled on my back, and I moved out little by little with Xiaorou in my arms.

Eventually, the pain in our back was gone, and we avoided the path of the corpses and swam to the waiting hall in the water. While paddling, I wondered if Xiao Jiu saw us diving into the water? It turned out that it was possible to escape by diving into the water, of course, Lu Feng, who was unconscious and had a wound in the abdomen, definitely couldn't take such a risk.

I figured we were in the middle of the hall, so I pulled out my flashlight and shone it ahead. Countless blister-like fine particles float in the pillar of light, and the former style of the waiting hall is clearly visible in front of you:

Six concrete pillars are evenly distributed in the lobby, each inlaid with a service guide, a subway route map and an advertising map, and between the columns are two long rows of stainless steel chairs, which used to be bustling with people, and the wind pressure formed when the train enters the station will fill the place in a matter of seconds, making people feel refreshed, and when it is full, the train roars away.

And now, the stone pillars are listlessly soaked in the water, the service guide is lying on the ground, the stainless steel chairs are covered with rust, and everything seems to say that there will be no return to the past.

I moved my flashlight to the side slightly, and suddenly a white face floated in front of us. It is a corpse floating in the water. I thought of the corpse I met with Wu Chenxing in the river again, and I thought to myself, can't I come back to life?

But when I pushed it away with the tip of the knife, it opened its eyes suddenly, and I was so frightened that I swallowed the cold water into my stomach without holding my breath, and I was so anxious that I paddled desperately, and I needed to breathe in urgently. But at this time, once it surfaces, the corpses not far from here may notice this side.

No matter so much! I decided to float, and at that moment, Xiaorou grabbed my hand, hugged my head, put her mouth up, and kissed me on the mouth, giving me oxygen like artificial respiration.

It wasn't long before she left, when the oxygen was almost evenly divided, and she took my hand and swam farther away. I shone my flashlight at the position of the corpse, which was already full of water and struggling to sink.
