Chapter 15: Crying in the Corridor
Candy, biscuits, chocolate, instant noodles, mineral water, rice, flour, beans, honey, salad oil, sugar, salt, sauce, vinegar, canned food, jerky, ham, sausages, coffee, tea, cigarettes, milk powder, mustard......
Zhou Yan felt that he was not opening the trunk of a car, but opening a door to a supermarket.
The entire trunk of the Range Rover Evoque was stuffed to the brim with these packaged foods. What's even more interesting is that on the side of the trunk, there is also a toolbox.
The toolbox contains all kinds of drivers, screwdrivers, vises, nails, hammers, as well as all kinds of knives for survival in the wild, lighters, flashlights, batteries, as well as folding shovels, tents, sleeping bags, etc.
"The owner's family, is it ready to survive in the wild, how can it be so well prepared...... The key is that the preparation is so well that I didn't even take the community out. ”
Zhou Yan wanted to hold the owner's hand and say thank you.
It's just for him.
He quickly folded the rear seats of the Range Rover Evoque so that the trunk and rear seats were connected together, so that a large space could be created in the back that was 1.5 meters long, 1 meter wide and 70 centimeters high.
This makes it easier to continue transporting supplies on the road.
Land Rover owners have prepared a lot of materials, but the main thing is that the variety is complete, and the real quantity is not much. In the face of the current dangerous world, Zhou Yan needs heat, a lot of heat, and this little thing alone is not enough to ensure his own safety.
"It seems that when the end comes, many people should be notified and aware of the danger. That's why Land Rover owners are so well prepared, which also shows that there must be more materials than this in other cars in the community...... It's a shame I didn't think about that at the time. ”
It is no longer realistic to go back and look for supplies.
Zhou Yan could only tidy up his things, stuff some high-calorie food into his stomach, strive to fill up the calories that his body could store, and then continue to set off.
Less than a kilometre down the North 1st Ring Road, Land Rover was once again blocked by the road.
This is at the intersection of the North First Ring Road and Shengli Road, I don't know how many cars are congested here, as well as buses and police cars, all crowded together. Because Hefei had planned a smooth ring earlier, the first ring does not directly intersect with any road, so it is either undercut or elevated.
This is the viaduct, and Zhou Yan wants to take the victory road, so he did not go up to the viaduct but took the auxiliary road. I didn't expect the intersection to be completely congested, and there was no way to drive at all.
Scenes of fighting were everywhere, and one of the piers of the viaduct was blown off.
"Can't you go?"
Zhou Yan thought about it, turned the car directly, and drove towards the Yuanyi Hilton Hotel next to him.
The square in front of the hotel is also full of cars.
As far as the eye can see, the doors of most cars are open, and it should be the owner who gets out of the car and leaves. However, there are a small number of cars with closed doors, except for the windows, which are empty of owners.
It was as if he had been attacked by something and took the owner of the car away.
This made Zhou Yan can't help but sound the situation of the sick man being taken away by a vague shadow, there are unusual monsters in this city, hunting survivors.
After parking, he picked up the steel pipe and touched the pistol on his waist.
Exhaling a breath of turbidity, he pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the Yuanyi Hilton Hotel, which had obviously suffered from the battle as well. The chandeliers, front desks, tables, chairs, and pools in the hall on the entire first floor were all destroyed, and all kinds of tattered luggage, leather bags, and mobile phones fell all over the ground, and again, no corpses were left.
On the contrary, you can clearly see that there are a lot of blood stains on the floor, and there are definitely no fewer dead people here at that time.
"I didn't see the dead, not even the carcasses of animals...... What the hell is going on, are there really scavengers? Zhou Yan had too many doubts in his mind, but he couldn't get answers.
The elevator is out of power, so you can only climb the stairs.
The stairs were still bloodstained, and the handrails were bent in many places.
Zhou Yan climbed up to the twentieth floor in one go, only to find that the bloodstains were gradually disappearing, and the door to the floor was tightly closed and not broken. There are nanobots that release heat at any time, Zhou Yan is not tired at all, and continues to climb to the top of the building. On the twenty-third floor, he suddenly heard a cry.
"Crying?"
This cry seems to be made by a woman, and it is a bit like that of a child.
There was a poignant tone.
It's very infiltrating.
Before he fell into a coma, Zhou Yan was a hardcore atheist, but now, the world is over, zombies and monsters are infested, and it is not impossible to add a little more demons and monsters.
So he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
"On the twenty-third floor, it should be in the hallway...... Shall I go in and have a look? Tightening the steel pipe in his hand, Zhou Yan was entangled in his heart.
He wanted to find out, but he was afraid of force majeure.
After a few seconds, he looked at the light screen on the retina of his left eyeball, his body and the high-energy polymeric peptide bonds, which stored a full 200M-cal of heat.
These are his greatest confidences.
"Go and see, maybe it's a survivor, a place as big as the Hilton Hotel, if you live in it, it's possible to hide for more than three months."
The police officers who have been handling cases for many years are bolder than ordinary people.
Zhou Yan immediately pulled out his 92 pistol, opened the passage door, and walked towards the twenty-second floor.
He could only see the situation in the corridor through the windows at both ends of the corridor.
It didn't look unusual, it wasn't messy, and there was no blood on the floor or walls. It's just the dim light, combined with the crying that seems to be there, makes the atmosphere look very weird.
"Listen to the voice, it should be over there."
Zhou Yan walked cautiously on the aisle, lightening his steps and trying not to make too much movement. For the cry seemed to have faded into silence and became inaudible.
When Zhou Yan walked through a few doors, his crying was completely subdued, and he could no longer hear the slightest.
"Gone?"
Zhou Yan's vigilance rose to the highest, and he continued to walk forward with a light pace, walking to the door of a room marked 2223 and stopping.
Take a closer look at Room 2223 and Room 2224 across from it.
"If I hadn't heard errands, the sound would have come from this place, and it seemed ...... It must have come from room 2223. ”
He is not a martial arts master who listens to the wind and discerns the position, and now there is no crying, so he can only rely on guessing.
Carefully avoiding the cat's eye on the door, Zhou Yan approached the door, trying to listen to the movement inside. But after listening to it for a full minute, there was no movement inside.
"Isn't it here, or is it my auditory hallucination?"
Zhou Yan didn't believe that there was a problem with his ears, and the nanobot had been scanning his physical condition in his body, and he wouldn't be able to tell where there was a problem.
So he turned around and prepared to listen to room 2224.
But just as he turned to walk to the other side, the door of room 2223 slammed loudly, accompanied by a terrible screech.
"Ahh
The sound was very harsh, and it came so suddenly.
Zhou Yan, who had just relaxed his attention, was suddenly startled, and the cold sweat on his back was dripping down. The 92 pistol in his hand reflexively fired at door 2223.
Bang bang!
Two shots were fired in a row.
The door was broken, and there was still a screaming sound inside, accompanied by a thumping thump, as if there was a monster trapped in the room.
