Chapter Twenty-Nine: Careless Trapped
87_87057Bai Qi observed the surrounding terrain for a moment, pointed to a factory not far away, and asked Qin Qing to drive the car over.
The factory is not small, with its doors open and a small plaza behind it is a six-story office building.
Qin Qing parked the car at the door of the office building, and everyone jumped out of the car one after another.
The glass doors of the office building were open, and it was very quiet inside, Bai Qi thought for a moment, and waved everyone to put their backpacks on their backs, just in case.
After that, he held his shield and walked into the office building first.
Everyone followed Bai Qi through the long corridor, found the stairs, and walked to the top floor.
When passing by a fire hydrant, Bai Qi broke the glass and took out the fire axe inside.
Everyone came all the way to the top floor, the iron door to the top of the building was locked, and Bai Qi, who had been prepared, swung the fire axe and cut the door lock.
Coming to the top of the building, Bai Qi came to the edge, took out his binoculars, and looked carefully towards the port area.
He found that the harbor was crowded with cars, and several ships were floating in the bay not far from the port.
Seeing such a scene, Bai Qi quickly figured out what was going on.
San Francisco is a port city, and the way out of the city is not only by land, but also by sea, and on the eve of the outbreak of the virus, many people must have fled to the port, which led to the port area, which was originally very low-traffic, but became a place for people to gather before the outbreak of the virus.
Bai Qi, who grew up inland and had never even seen the sea, completely ignored this point.
The scene in front of them undoubtedly disappointed everyone, in fact, Bai Qi's biggest hope is to find a boat in the harbor, and then find a way to sail into the bay, along the San Francisco Bay is not only San Francisco City, they can sail along the coast to search for food, looking for a better place to stay.
Going downtown to find survivors was a last resort, but the unexpected situation in the harbor frustrated their plans, and going downtown to find survivors became their only option.
This industrial area is considered a vacuum area for infected people, which is relatively safe, but the food here is too scarce, the food in the small convenience store in the gas station just now seems to be a lot, in fact, all the food adds up to only enough food for Bai Qi five pot-bellied men for three days, there must be such gas stations in this industrial area, but it is certainly not too much, so the resources here are definitely not enough for them to survive for a long time.
Rather than waiting until you run out of food and are forced to enter the city center, it's better to plan ahead.
However, Bai Qi did not plan to enter the city center immediately.
After leaving the factory, Bai Qi asked Qin Qing to drive the car around the industrial area and search all the way north, along the way, they came across three more gas stations, and in one of them, they came across the remains of a survivor.
The reason why they think this person is a survivor is because the food and water in this convenience store have been eaten, and the body is surrounded by plastic bags of various food bags, and there are no leftover bones, and the dried corpse is still holding a rifle tightly in its hands.
Bai Qi guessed that this person should have been hiding in this gas station after surviving the virus, and after eating everything in the gas station, he didn't dare to go out to find food, and was starved to death here.
Looking at the corpse of this likely survivor, Bai Qi sighed deeply, although the chance of a human being carrying the angel virus is three in a thousand, but what about after carrying the virus? How many will really survive?
Leaving this gas station, everyone was silent a lot.
In addition to the fact that no food was found in this gas station, there was an infected person entrenched in another gas station, and after killing the infected person, they found that most of the food in the convenience store had been spoiled, and there was very little harvest.
Although they found three gas stations along the way, only one actually harvested food, which also strengthened Bai Qi's idea of looking for survivors.
Looking at the map, everyone drove from south to north through the Lingang Industrial Zone, to the north of San Francisco, which is also the most prosperous part of the city.
As the car progressed north, the wreckage of the car on the road gradually increased, driving became more and more difficult, and the attacks along the way became more frequent.
They stopped their journey north and drove to a factory on the edge of an industrial area close to the city.
They killed the two infected people entrenched in the factory office building and took over the building.
The factory chosen by Bai Qi is the largest in the neighborhood, with an office building just across the road from the city, and a luxuriously built 12-story office building.
The top floor of the office building is supposed to be where the company's high-level offices are located, and there is only one secure passage to go up except for an elevator that leads to the top floor.
Bai Qi and the others occupied the top floor of the office building, and if they guarded a gate leading to the safe passage, they could hold the entire top floor.
After occupying the top floor, everyone dumped all the food in the luxurious president's office, vacated their backpacks, and went downstairs to carry all the food from the pickup truck to the top floor.
Since only two infected people were found when they started to search the building, and there were no more attacks from infected people when they went downstairs to carry food, everyone relaxed their vigilance a little, thinking that the number of infected people near the factory should not be large.
But soon they quickly paid the price for their carelessness.
The door to the safe passage on the floor is a wooden door, with two transparent glass windows in the middle of the two doors, which are not solid.
Bai Qi, who had relaxed his vigilance, only pinned the gate with a fire axe and did not make any more preparations.
Soon after, several infected individuals made their way down the safe passage to the top floor and began banging on the door.
Since the glass windows on the gate could accurately observe the location of the infected outside, Huang Mao, who was in charge of the guard, could easily shoot several infected people outside the door.
But soon, Huang Mao couldn't withstand the pressure and began to call for help, and the infected people outside the gate almost poured in.
Fortunately, the later infected were attracted by the corpse of the infected that Huang Mao began to shoot, and fought outside the door, otherwise the wooden gate would not have been able to withstand several impacts from the inhabited.
Hearing the news, the four Bai Qi people picked up their rifles and shot at the infected people outside the door, and more corpses were soon left outside the door.
However, the steady stream of infected people coming up from the safe passage is simply too much to kill.
At this time, Bai Qi couldn't help but regret a little, he obviously underestimated the density of infected people in this area, if he had chosen to go to the top of the building, he would not have been so passive, the iron gate leading to the top of the building was far stronger than this wooden gate.
Fortunately, the corpses of the dead infected attracted the attention of the later inpatients, who were only interested in grabbing food.
Bai Qi asked Huang Mao to find a few large desks from the office next to him to block the back door of the door, but everyone knew that a few jobs were not even an obstacle for the infected, and once the door was knocked open, it would not stop them at all.
In desperation, the five of them could only stand in front of the gate and keep shooting.
After more than an hour, the crumbling gate finally quieted down, and occasionally an infected person rushed up, only to drag a corpse and leave.
But the sound of fighting and howling from time to time in the depths of the safe passage let everyone know that these infected people have not left, and the strong smell of blood outside the door will definitely attract more infected people.
This situation made everyone look at each other, and there was a deep fear in their eyes, trapped in such a tall building, if they couldn't get through the only safe passage, everyone had only a dead end.
It's good to say during the day, but once it's night, they can't hold the gate that will fall at any moment.
Everyone was suddenly a little flustered, Bai Qi took a deep breath and shouted, "What are you panicking about? Huang Mao, you go and see if the elevator passage can climb to the roof. ”
Bai Qi's scolding suddenly calmed everyone down a little, and Huang Mao agreed, turned around and ran towards the elevator.
Soon after, Huang Mao ran back in a panic, "Boss, the top of the elevator shaft is sealed, and you can't go up!" ”
Bai Qi's heart sank when he heard this, but his face remained unchanged, and he turned his head to Qin Qing and said, "You go and search the entire top floor carefully to see if you can find anything useful, pay special attention to see if there is a fire cabinet on this floor." ”
Bai Qi's composure made everyone feel at ease slightly.
After Qin Qing left, Bai Qi said to Huang Mao again: "You go to the window to observe and see if it is possible to climb up to the top floor from the window, we are now on the top floor, only one floor away from the top of the building, a few meters high, I don't believe that our body transformed by the angel virus is still unable to climb up?" A living person can suffocate urine. ”
After listening to Bai Qi's words, everyone finally settled down.
Huang Mao nodded, and turned to leave.
After a while, Huang Mao ran back, and he said half-sadly and half-happily: "Boss, there is a drainage pipe outside the second office over there, you can climb up, but this is the twelfth floor, it's too high, I tried it, and just turned out the window, and my hands and feet are weak!" ”
Bai Qi said angrily: "Who let you climb empty-handed?" Didn't I ask Qin Qing to find the fire cabinet, the water pipe in the fire cabinet is thick and strong, bolted to the waist as a safety rope, and then go to climb the building, after going up, find a way to fix the fire hose on the roof of the building, and the others climb up along the pipe. Food can also be pulled up with a fire hose. ”
Huang Mao listened to Bai Qi's words and couldn't help but nod with joy.
Bai Qi couldn't help but slap the back of Huang Mao's head again, and scolded: "As soon as others listen to my orders, they will understand that you are a fool who is unwilling to use your brain." ”
Huang Mao smiled, scratched his head, and was about to say something, when Qin Qing's voice came from the corridor: "Bai Qi, there is a fire cabinet here, right next to the elevator." ”
Listening to Qin Qing's words, Bai Qi couldn't help but glare at Huang Mao, the guy with this tendon had just gone to see the elevator, but he didn't see a fire cabinet there.
Huang Mao shrunk his neck by Bai Qi's glare, Bai Qi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and shouted to Qin Qing: "I know, you go and take a closer look around to see if you can find something useful." ”
After instructing Qin Qing, Bai Qi said to Huang Mao: "You come to guard the gate, pay attention." By the way, where is the office with drains? ”
Huang Mao hurriedly nodded vigorously, pointed behind him and said, "It's in the second office on the left side of the corridor." ”
Bai Qi turned back to Liu Yunxi and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”。
