Chapter 8: A New Escape
"Damn, those monsters are in this building, they must have heard the gunshots." Smith scolded.
"What now?" Emily said urgently.
"Quiet. Listening to the sounds, the monsters didn't come to the basement, and probably haven't noticed us yet. White, you listen to me, if you don't want to die in the mouth of a monster, don't shoot again. Smith leaned against the box and said loudly.
"*, even if I die, I'm going to kill that bastard first!" White yelled.
"This madman!" Smith hated. "Is that guy dead? Don't shoot again until you're sure. ”
White didn't respond, but he didn't keep firing and making a loud noise, and Smith couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, White and Pete both came to Red's side, and saw that Red was shot in the middle of the eyebrow, killing him instantly, and at the same time, the gunshot wound in the chest was still bubbling blood.
"That's right! The floor on the ground didn't close when we came in in due to a hurry, and hopefully, with their massive bodies, they wouldn't be interested in walking through that small office door. Ren Wei suddenly worried. With that, he quietly moved to the door, put his ear to the door, and listened carefully to the movement outside.
For a long time, there seemed to be no movement of the monster approaching, so Ren Wei was about to turn around and make an "ok" gesture, when his eyes inadvertently fell on the door, he found that there was a valve-like thing on the door, and before he could figure out what it was.
"Boom!"
"Whoa—"
A loud crash outside the basement scared Ren Wei into staggering to the ground, and it sounded like something had shattered.
Immediately afterward, the sound of crashing was incessant, accompanied by the roar of monsters.
"What sound? It looks like the monsters are breaking through the wall, have we been discovered?! Ren Wei's heart was full of such thoughts. How so? But they do seem to be coming for this office? ”
"What did you do? Yellow-skinned monkeys? You've got the for the monsters to find us! White searched for the dark shadow in vain, and threw his anger on Ren Wei.
"Shut up, you pigs, they haven't stormed the basement yet, so they don't necessarily know we're here." Smith scolded back. "If you quarrel again, I'll kill you!"
"Hei Biao, you don't scare me, you must be the one who dies in the fight. What's more, now you don't even dare to shoot a gun! White didn't take what Smith said seriously.
"The entrance to the basement is three meters square, and the space on the stairs can only enter one monster at a time. With the thickness of this gate, even that kind of monster won't be able to rush in. Ren Wei comforted himself, feeling a lot more settled in his heart, and then endured his fear, moved his trembling legs back to Smith and the others. Mina and the three girls were already so frightened that they hugged each other and burst into tears; Giggs and Bill were also shivering; The two children wanted to cry loudly, but Tina covered her mouth and quietly comforted her in her arms.
"I don't think it's that bad!" Ren Wei said to them. "The monsters sounded like they were in the office, but they didn't seem to have any intention of going into the basement. We don't know what attracts them, but for now we should be safe as long as we don't make any moves that attract their attention. ”
But as soon as the words fell, the gate sounded with the sound of a heavy object being hit. The monster slammed against the door, but it seemed to hit the hearts of everyone in the basement.
Ren Wei only felt that he had never been so desperate since he fled, and now he was really trapped in death, and his only hope now was to hope that this gate was strong enough.
The crash sounded one after another, and soon, there was a screeching sound of metal grinding on the door.
Smith, Ren Wei, and Emily all turned their guns on the gate, ready for a last-ditch fight after the gate was breached.
Just then, the black shadow scurried to the gate and pulled the valve hard. As the valve twisted, there was a dull locking sound. The sound of metal grinding stopped abruptly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The black shadow flashed to the side suddenly, and before Ren Wei could understand what was going on, he heard a gunshot, and the bullet hit the position where the black shadow was just now, and then "bang", "bang" and two more shots, but nothing was hit except for the broken sawdust flying in the air. White and Pete rushed over like crazy, but just then, the alcohol burned out, the fire went out, and the whole basement was dark again.
The moment the light disappeared, the deadly light sound sounded again, the bullet penetrated the flesh for three points, and the blood splattered everywhere, White covered the wound with his hand, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing from between his fingers. Although Pete couldn't see White's condition, the thick smell of blood in his nose still made him know that White's condition was not good.
There was another thud outside the door, much stronger than all the previous impacts, and even the shaft of the door was deformed. If Ren Wei and the others could see the situation outside now, they would be surprised to find that this impact was caused by the monster retreating to the entrance of the basement and then rushing down, and they knew how to use sprinting to increase the impact so quickly. And the reason the monsters do this is because they seem to be stimulated by something, and they become more manic.
This impact is enough to threaten the gate, and if it continues like this, it will soon be lost.
"Quick! Ren Wei! Pile all the boxes at the door. Smith said urgently.
Although these boxes are empty, they are not lightweight, and the outside is still iron-clad, which is relatively strong, and it can be used to block the door to some extent.
In this case, Ren Wei didn't care about anything else, and turned on a flashlight to illuminate it, but he was still very careful to only shine the light pillar towards the door, and then, Emily helped him push the box to the gate desperately. And David, who picked up a life, took his wife Anne, and hid on Smith's side at some point, and when they saw Smith, Ren Wei and Emily's actions, David also ran out to move the box together. His actions woke everyone else up and down, except for Tina, who had trouble moving, Annie, Mina, Betty, Lucy, Giggs, and Bill, and even the two little children running around.
Soon, the boxes on the left and right of the gate were piled up behind the door, but when I looked at the door, the deformation was getting worse and worse.
"The box is not enough! Move some more from somewhere else! Smith ordered.
As he spoke, there was another muffled sound, only to hear a "squeak", the metal gate was concave with a gap, and a claw quickly poked in, although it didn't catch anything, but the long bone spurs on the claw directly pierced Bill, who was standing closest to the gate.
The claw hit it and quickly pulled it back, but the gap in the door was too small, and Bill's body got stuck behind the crack in the door and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"Ahh
Outside the door, the monsters roared excitedly.
"The door is going to be unbearable! We're all going to die here! David shouted in a broken heart.
"Shut up!" Smith scolded David. "Everybody away from the gates! Ren Wei, holding a gun, shot at the gap. ”
The others retreated deeper into the basement, and Ren Wei picked up his gun and aimed at the gap in the door with Smith.
"Emily, what do you do? Don't hide behind yet! Smith asked, glancing at Emily still standing beside him.
Emily pulled out her gun and stood side by side with Smith. "Needless to say, at this moment, I will never leave you."
The two looked at each other, and everything was silent.
"Boom!" The gate was slammed again, and the monster's hideous face appeared in front of the trio.
The gunshot rang out, and the monster roared in pain, but this not only did not make the monster retreat, but made it even more crazy, squeezing into the small half of its body, and its claws desperately grabbed the three of them.
Although he knew that the monster's blow would not hurt them, Ren Wei was still frightened by the monster's crazy appearance and took a big step back.
At this moment, a gunshot could be heard behind the three of them, followed by Anne's screams. Smith and the others were shocked and hurriedly looked back.
I saw White lying on the ground, silent. Pete shoots like a madman, and just as Smith and the others turn around, Pete fires two more shots, and Lucy falls to the ground in response.
"This guy is irritated and must stop him." Emily said.
It may have been Emily's words that caught Pete's attention, and Pete pointed his gun at the trio with an "ah" and "ah" cries. Seeing that the situation was not good, Smith hugged Emily and blocked in front of him, while Ren Wei rolled on the spot.
However, the terrible gunfire did not ring out, and was replaced by the deadly silenced sound of gunfire.
A bloody arrow erupted from Pete's head, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.
Ren Wei saw a sigh of relief, got up, and was about to tell Smith Pitt that he was dead, but the monster that didn't want to get stuck in the gate rushed in again, and his claws swept and slashed across Emily's back, knocking the Smiths and his wife to the ground at the same time with a huge force.
Blood quickly leaked from Emily's back, and she had fainted.
"Emily?! Emily?! Smith called anxiously to his wife.
Ren Wei was stunned by this scene, and when he turned his head, the monster was about to rush into the basement. If it can rush in, it will rush in more in the back. Of course, as soon as one monster comes in, the entire basement may be dead, and it doesn't make a difference if there are several more.
Just as Ren Wei's brain was blank and he was at a loss, suddenly, blood burst out of the monster's left eye, and then the monster's right eyeball was also shot by a bullet. Seeing this, Ren Wei rushed forward, stepped on the box, inserted the muzzle of the gun into the monster's eye socket, and pulled the trigger fiercely until the bullet was gone.
The monster was still twitching, but its head was drooping and its claws were no longer waving.
Ren Wei sat down limply against the door, feeling like he was about to collapse. And the monsters outside the basement door seem to have sensed that the monster stuck in the door is dead, and they start to launch a new round of impact.
Ren Wei ran back to Smith and saw that he was bandaging Emily's wound, the bleeding had almost stopped, but Emily hadn't woken up yet, but it was okay not to open her eyes to this desperate reality.
Tina and the others huddled together, tears in their eyes, for the sake of their dead companions, and for the fate they were about to face.
David hugged Anne's body and didn't say a word, as if he didn't care about what was going on in the outside world at all.
The dark shadow that had broken into the basement didn't know where it was, but it didn't matter.
Everyone is quietly waiting for the final death to come.
At this moment, the basement sounded the sound of "呑-", as if someone had put a red-hot soldering iron into cold water.
At the same time, the gate was shattered and completely cracked, leaving no one between the bloodthirsty monster and the crowd.
The monsters in front pounced on Ren Wei and them, and seeing that the three of them were about to die at the hands of the monsters, suddenly, the movements of these monsters stopped.
A fishy snort sprayed Ren Wei's face.
Seeing that the monster was close to him, this feeling of fear made Ren Wei feel that he couldn't control even a finger.
The monster poked its head forward, and wanted to open its mouth to bite Ren Wei, but after several times, it still didn't take a bite. Immediately, all the monsters retreated to the outside of the basement and left.
Everything was as unreal as a dream, Ren Wei never thought that he could survive in such a situation, and the hearts of others were filled with the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
As soon as the basement fell silent, everyone heard the faint sound of heavy machine guns and the roar of monsters outside.
"Someone's coming! Someone came to our rescue! Betty couldn't help but scream as she got up and ran outside.
"Beware, it's still dangerous out there!" Mina hurried to stop her.
Smith's eyes lit up: if it was really rescue, Emily had a better chance of surviving.
Just when everyone was rejoicing, there was a sound of the mechanism turning on in the basement, Ren Wei hurriedly grabbed the flashlight and shone it at the place where the sound came from, only to see a piece of the floor in the basement being lifted, and the black shadow jumped down. Ren Wei chased forward to take a closer look, and found that there was a tunnel connected under the two-meter-square floor tiles. This floor tile is the same place where Smith threw the alcohol bottle before, and there are still traces of burning on the surface, and there is a pull ring in the middle of the floor tile.
"I didn't expect there to be such a passage?! What kind of place is this? Ren Wei thought to himself. But I don't need it now, just wait here for help. Ay? That's not right! Now that the rescue has arrived, why did the dark shadow run away? Could it be that his identity is not visible? Even if a case record is discovered, it's just a prison sentence.,And if you're alone.,If you run into a monster, it's really a dead end.。 Why didn't he wait for rescue? Is it ......?"
Thinking of this, Ren Wei ran back to Smith and asked, "Smith, is there a garrison base near Hurricane Town?" ”
Smith replied without thinking, "Of course not, Hurricane Town is just a small town, and the nearest city, Deszin City, may have a garrison, why do you ask this?" ”
"Listen, Smith, I have a bad guess that those people out there may not be a rescue force sent by the government. If there were no garrisons near Hurricane Town, it would not have been possible for rescue to arrive in such a short time. And the external communications are all out of order, the outside world doesn't know what is really going on here, most likely the government thinks there is a riot here, so do you think the rescue force for ordinary riots will come with heavy machine guns? Ren Wei said his thoughts in one breath.
Smith looked at Ren Wei and sighed. "You may be right, but Emily is in dire need of treatment right now, and her physical condition can't afford to toss, so even if what you say is true, I will choose to stay and wait. If you really don't feel at ease and insist on leaving, brother, we can only separate here. ”
Ren Wei nodded in understanding, then simply brought some food and water, and checked the guns and ammunition.
Smith also gave Ren Wei the bullet on his body. "Take it! Now you need them more than I do. ”
After packing up everything, Ren Wei and Tina and the others also said goodbye, although the other party did not understand Ren Wei's choice very much, but Ren Wei did not explain - Tina was unable to move, and he was not sure to protect the safety of the remaining children, not to mention that everything was just his guess.
What Ren Wei, who left from the tunnel, and the others in the basement didn't know was that the convoy that came to the town and was pinned on by them, after repelling the monster's interception, the person in the lead said into the walkie-talkie: "Skynet Group C is cleaning up the area in charge, and will go to the target location after the mission is completed." ”
