Chapter 66: The Crack

Soon after receiving that Eden's broadcast, we reinforced the entrances and exits of the mall under Lu Feng's warning, and took the trouble to connect the cameras at each entrance and exit to the generator, and monitor the situation outside through the display in the security room.

In a trance, the survivor enemies precipitated in all corners of the city seemed to be activated, and ghosts appeared in their consciousness. According to Lu Feng, we are like sheep walking in the spotlight, and others are like beasts hiding in the dark, eyeing us.

In addition to the monitors, we have to keep watch on the rooftops every day so that we can be alerted earlier when danger is approaching. It was my turn to be on duty that day, and I sat in a swivel chair with my legs crossed on the windowsill, watching below with a cup of hot coffee.

Under the gloomy sky, an abandoned city stood in front of us, and there was not a trace of life in the gray city. Although the monitor can see around the building, the visual eye must be relied upon to see into the distance.

Suddenly, I noticed movement in the distance, so I immediately picked up my binoculars and looked in the direction of the movement. A group of rickety zombies appeared in the tube, pacing in a deep alley across the road. It's the group of "people" again, I think.

They always choose to appear at this time, every day. Each one had a gloomy expression and a dead face, some with open skin on their necks, some still with a bunch on their stomachs, but some with intact skin...... No, when it casually turns its face, you realize that its right cheek is only flesh and bone left.

1、2、3、4、5…… When I was bored, I began to count the "number of people" in this group, and there were about 50 of them, which was a small group of corpses. Everyone is dressed in a variety of clothes, including office workers in suits, hip-hop teenagers in peaked caps, shirtless construction workers and beautiful young women dressed in fashion...... Of course, these were their identities when they were alive, and now they are all the same thing.

They crossed the road along the zebra crossing and then stopped beneath my diagonal slope, staggering as if expecting something. I've been observing this phenomenon for a while, and it wasn't until recently that I noticed that there was a small bus stop where they were standing. I imagined the time they spent waiting for the bus every day, and this behavior may have subtly become one of their biological instincts, like migratory birds flying south, and even after death their bodies still go uncontrollably to the places they go every day.

However, all this is just my imagination. After standing for a while, the group of zombies dispersed.

At this moment, there was an abnormality in the field of vision. On the other side of the telescope, two running figures appeared! At first, I thought it was a speedwalker, but when I looked closer, it was two living people, and a dozen zombies were staggering behind them.

The two were middle-aged men, a man and a woman, and their expressions were tense, but their steps were not too flustered, and it could be seen that they were survivors of the harsh survival elimination, and they were immigrants in the last days like us.

They also seemed to see me and waved at me, as if to call for help.

Seeing this, I immediately put down the binoculars in my hand and ran down.

When I got to the first floor, I remembered that the key to open the door was placed in Xiao Jiu, so I rushed to the monitoring room, and now it should be her turn to be on duty.

The door of the monitoring room was wide open, and Lu Feng, Guan Fei and Zhang Hao were all inside.

"Xiao Jiu, quickly bring the key, there is someone ...... outside"

Suddenly I didn't know what to say, because on the monitor, I saw that the two survivors were desperately knocking on the door, while Lu Feng and the others were watching dryly, without any movement.

"What's going on? Why not open the door? I wondered.

Lu Feng ignored it and instructed Xiao Jiu: "Please turn on the microphone!" ”

The sound of banging and shouting at the door came from the speakers.

"Help! Help me! Help us! The middle-aged woman banged on the door and turned her head to look behind her in fear.

The middle-aged man looked up at us: "Please be kind, our shelter is really out of food, the children are starving, we only took the risk to come after listening to the radio, please help us!" ”

They were all sweating profusely, their eyes had lost their composure, and even their expressions were distorted by the expectation of death.

"What are you waiting for, open the door!" I shouted.

"Wait, you can't ......risk it yet," Lu Feng said.

At this time, several black shadows suddenly appeared in the picture, and the man immediately pulled out a pistol from his arms and shot it at the head of the nearest zombie, and the woman also took out a sharp knife and sent it into the eyebrows of the other.

"Help us!" The woman cried.

"Xiao Jiu, get the key!" I shouted.

"Yes." Xiao Jiu then took out the key and handed it to me.

"It's too late...... Guan Fei said.

In the shot, more than a dozen hungry ghosts have already scrambled to pounce on the two, and the fangs tore off the woman's face at once, and a terrifying scream was heard. The man also lost his mind and was gnawed off by a mouth.

The situation suddenly hit rock bottom, and I crouched on the ground in disbelief with my head in my hands, and the key rolled to the ground with a screeching sound, and beyond that, only a creepy scream echoed all around......

I stood up from the ground, and the middle-aged men and women on the screen had completely evaporated from this world, except for some unrecognizable flesh and bones. But their cries for help lingered in my ears.

I grabbed Lu Feng's collar and shouted, "What's wrong with you?" Why not open the door? ”

Lu Feng pushed the glasses that were a little crooked, and said expressionlessly: "It's you who are sick, they have weapons on them, if you open the door rashly, it is us who may die." ”

"Bastard!" I grabbed him tighter by the collar: "Just because we have a weapon means we're going to be attacked?" Who can defend themselves without weapons in the last days? ”

Lu Feng quickly continued: "Then why didn't they show it out at first, they had to hide it?" ”

"Maybe they're just ...... just in case"

"Then we have to be just in case." Lu Feng pushed my hand away without saying anything, "The price of letting them in may be the death of some or all of us, but not letting them in will cause us no loss, before you make any choice, please put the options on both ends of the scale and weigh it!" ”

I'm speechless. Lu Feng is right, if there is really an accident, the consequences will be unbearable, but is it just for this kind of emergency, do you treat the lives of living people as grass mustard? I beg to differ in any way.

It seems that since that incident, there has been an irreparable rift between me and Lu Feng.
