[7.9] Martyrs
The tall ceiling of the main metallurgical plant was scorched black with black smoke and mottled with rust, blocking out all sunlight outside, as if it were the darkest abyss, unable to throw in a single ray of light from the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Tall furnaces stand in the factory, dividing the huge into several independent metallurgical areas, rusty iron frames are staggered to build platforms around the furnaces, and occasionally slow swaying footsteps step on the rusty iron net, making a creaking sound, as if a pair of hands with sharp nails scraped across the spine, people can't help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
"Roar...... Roar ......"
The roar of the zombie appears from time to time, if it is about to leave, it seems that the source of this sound can be found in the next corner, the air is filled with the smell of damp rust, and the temperature of the hot molten iron can be felt within five meters of the furnace, and the water in the body is dried little by little, and the color of the molten iron in the furnace is even more dazzling.
"Dah. Click. ”
I followed Andrew through the narrow aisle between the two furnaces. The hem of his coat was hanging down, his back was facing me, I couldn't see his expression, the atmosphere was a little oppressive, I picked up my pace a little to keep up with him.
……
[I have a proposal, we divide the army into three ways. 】
[This is the main plant of the metallurgical plant, there are many furnaces, and the plant is divided into very large areas, I think that acting separately can ensure that most of us can go to the end to the greatest extent, and acting together will attract all the zombies. 】
……
I lowered my head slightly, looking at my shoes on the rusty wire net, and remembered Colin's slightly shrill voice.
……
[There are currently three paths, left, middle, and right.] 】
[The entrance to the room at the end of the terminating end is on the second floor of the metallurgical plant.] 】
[If you take the road on the left, you need to approach the overhead floor on the second floor from the first floor, and you can directly reach the door of the house. 】
[In the middle of the road, you must choose to take the elevator to the shelves on the second floor, the shelves are connected to a window with a one-person wide passage leading to the corridor on the second floor, and the balcony outside the window can be turned into the room at the end of the termination. 】
[Finally, the road on the right leads directly along the furnace to the third overhead level, which has a special handling passage for workers' activities, through which you can reach the storage room on the third floor, and then enter the terminal room through the stairs inside the storage room.] 】
[Each route has a certain risk. 】
[This is the largest melting furnace factory in the metallurgical plant, and the zombie outbreak occurs during the rush hour, and a large number of zombies may have gathered under those overhead layers and furnaces. 】
[We currently have six people, which happens to be able to operate in three teams. 】
……
Colin was undoubtedly the brains of the whole team, and I didn't expect this seemingly weak underage boy to have three plans of action in just a few minutes.
Regardless of the feasibility of the three routes, I agree with his view.
The survival rate of separate actions is bound to be greater than that of collective action.
In the case of insufficient weapons, acting together is undoubtedly telling the zombies - the meal is here, and the meal is happy.
I bit my lower lip lightly, feeling the scorching air in the metallurgical plant, and my neck sweated a little.
When deciding on the plan, Colin cleverly bypassed the question - was there a sacrifice among the six people present?
I think he must have considered that at this time, it is more reasonable to find sacrifices in infighting than to act separately, if the sacrifices can reach the termination end and enter the termination code, it will be beneficial to everyone in existence; If the sacrifice dies on the way, the game ends immediately, which doesn't seem like a bad ending.
The boy thought through all the possibilities.
I wondered what he would do if he knew I was a sacrifice.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Andrew agreed to Colin's plan, and Andrew was the highest-level being in the group, which undoubtedly confirmed his decision.
When choosing a route, Hall, unaware, subconsciously inquired about James's whereabouts.
We looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds before I motioned for him to turn around.
Hall and Colin stood outside the glass window of the small room, looking at the solemn faces of the others, they turned their heads suspiciously, and at that moment, the mutated zombie James on the other side of the glass pounced on his mouth full of blood, and hit the glass with a "bang" and broke the bridge of his nose, its face was full of blood but it grabbed the glass with its hands, leaving blood marks on the glass, and the blood spurted out hit the cold glass, and the skull "thumped" until the blood flowed all over its face.
This scene frightened Colin, and the poor boy jumped a few meters away with his head in his hands, shaking his body and not daring to look any further.
Just a few minutes ago, he was crouching in front of the old man to stop the bleeding.
And now, it's a walking corpse.
For more than ten seconds, none of us spoke, just looked at James, who had turned into a zombie, as if attending a funeral for him.
……
I have lived with sin for a long time, and now, I am finally going to pay for it. 】
……
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze, and James's roar behind the glass carried a somewhat dull feeling, and an inexplicable feeling of suffocation tightly enveloped everyone present.
It turned out that the participants were able to be infected.
Who will be next?
This question crossed the cold bottom of my heart, and I raised my head slightly, looking at a tall furnace in front of me, the top of which was shrouded in darkness, as if there were demons from hell lurking in the deepest depths of the darkness, with blood-red eyes open, smiling, slowly reaching out to pull us down to hell one by one.
……
We will all die, and it is only a matter of time before we atone for our sins. 】
……
James's hoarse voice haunted me, and I shook my head, hoping that he would be able to drink the rum that Colin didn't have time to deliver in that world.
