Chapter 47: Inquiring

The man with the gun then came in, moving as dexterously as a cat, and before his feet hit the ground, the roller shutter door was smashed with a 'bang'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

The mutant outside smashed for a while and then stopped, Yan Zhen felt deeply weird, he got up from the ground, although it was dark in the mall, he could feel that there were still many people around.

The man with the gun struck a match, and there was finally a light in the darkness, and a man in a railway uniform about fifty years old saw Yan Zhen and asked the man with the gun:

"Xiao An, ...... is he?"

"Survivors." The man paused and said, "Come to our rescue." ”

The match quickly burned out, and before the flame disappeared, the man's inquiring gaze was staring at Yan Zhen.

"Yes, I'm here to save you, actually, I'm also here to find someone." Yan Zhen continued.

"Looking for someone? What is the man's name? The man with the gun asked, and the tone of his questioning reminded Yan Zhen of the police in a police drama.

Yan Zhen felt a trace of guilt in being 'interrogated' in his heart, and said, "Zhang Ran, you are shorter than me and quite thin. Also, he never had a fever, has anyone seen him? ”

He made up some information casually, and he was not worried about being exposed, because after the disaster, there must be many people who were separated from their relatives, and it was most reasonable to use the excuse of finding someone.

"Who is he?" The man with the gun spoke in a calm tone, and he couldn't hear the emotion at all.

"Friend, we were just passing through Lingshi, and I fell ill, and he stayed to take care of me, and then ...... We ran away. Yan Zhen said in a decent manner, with some worry and anxiety in his tone.

The man with the gun didn't speak for a long time, as if he was trying to distinguish the truth from the falsehood in Yan Zhen's words.

If you continue to be silent, it will be too calm, so Yan Zhen broke the silence and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't be sure of the name, there are people with similar appearances, please tell me, where have you seen such a person, I'll look for it!" ”

"I've never had a fever...... There was one, I don't know what his name was, who was left behind before he escaped here. The man with the gun said in a very calm tone.

"What?!" Although the mall was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, Yan Zhen still showed a shocked expression, of course, his shock was mixed with despair.

What does it mean to be left behind in the escape from the city center, everyone knows that the target of his mission is dead?

"W-When?" He asked without giving up.

"Twelve days ago." The man affirmed.

Hearing this, a big stone in Yan Zhen's heart fell to the ground, according to the date, the mission target fell first, and he took the task later, and Paradise would not arrange for him to save a dead person, which means that the person is still alive.

He had been brewing for a long time, and was about to say something sentimental, but the man with the gun suddenly asked, "Do you have a way to get out?" ”

Yan Zhen's words about to be said suddenly froze, and he choked up with a 'hmm' sound, and said, "Among the survivors who are with me, someone has discovered the weakness of the mutants. ”

He raised his wrist to look at his watch, the fluorescent hands showed that there were 13 minutes before the next plot appeared, Yan Zhen said: "We have one more chance to escape, about another 12 minutes, the mutants outside will temporarily lose their senses, I parked a truck across the street, I can take everyone away." ”

Then he looked at the hole in the door and said, "Do you already know how to restrain mutants?" ”

When he observed outside, he realized that the gate of the mall couldn't stop the mutants, and there must be an indestructible 'wall' inside, but after he came in, he found that behind the door was the hall of the mall, and there was no 'wall' he imagined at all, so what would be the thing that blocked the mutants from entering?

There were obviously a lot of people in the mall, but except for the middle-aged man who asked him who he was at the beginning, the others didn't make a sound at all, and no matter what he asked, it was the man with the gun who answered.

"They won't step through this door, and the door in the back will be the same, I don't know why." Said the man with the gun.

Yan Zhen suddenly remembered that he still had a miniature flashlight in his pocket, he took it out and lit it, the pillar of light shone towards the roller shutter door, the door was full of convex marks smashed by mutants, the night wind poured in from the hole, with the cold air of the autumn night, he didn't see anything special about the door, so he moved the pillar of light to both sides of the door, and he found that on the ground by the door on both sides, there were two stone beasts squatting.

The stone beast placed at the door, that is, the gate guarding the beast, the stone lion is the most common, in addition to the unicorn, elephant, etc., but it is generally placed outside the main gate, and it is the first time he has seen it in the door.

Moreover, the stone beasts squatting at both ends of this gate were not common animals, Yan Zhen couldn't call the name of this thing, he only felt that they had hideous faces, exposed fangs, and extremely fierce eyes.

The two stone beasts are not large in size, more than 40 centimeters high, the base is 20 centimeters square, the material is bronze, and there is unwiped patina on the surface, which looks like a retro imitation of bronze at first glance.

Because there was really nothing more special in the mall, Yan Zhen stared at these two copper beasts for a bit of a long time.

While he was observing the bronze beast, the man with the gun was also discussing something with the survivors, and their voices were very quiet, indicating that they did not trust Yan Zhen.

He glanced at the group of people, there were about fifty of them, and most of them were old and weak women and children, and as long as the man with the gun spoke, they nodded one after another, as if they were explaining the precautions.

After they finished discussing quickly, the man with the gun walked up to Yan Zhen and said, "I'll go out with you first." ”

Yan Zhen knew that the man did this in the hope of getting his help and preventing him from cheating, and he didn't mind their suspicion at all, after all, if they were too naΓ―ve, it would be troublesome.

"Yes, by the way, according to our speculation, the mutants are likely to be tracked by the number of people, so when we get to the train station, it's best for everyone to hide separately, break the ghost and hit the wall, and then retreat together."

His words finally caused a whisper in the crowd, and the man with the gun asked in his calm voice, which could not hear emotion, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure, we've figured out the pattern."

"Got it, is the time up?" The man with the gun asked.

Yan Zhen walked to the hole in the door, he looked at the table below, a second is not much, a second is a lot, the time is just right, and at this time, in the sky above Ling City, a large cloud quietly obscured the moonlight, and even a little starlight was not spared.

The mutant suddenly became restless, wailing and roaring endlessly, and Yan Zhen knew that it was time for him to act.

He put the flashlight in his pocket, turned back and motioned for the man to follow, and then he was the first to get out of the hole, and although the mutants outside were manic, they couldn't detect the approaching of a living person.

The man with the gun followed Yan Zhen out of it, with a fluorescent ring around his neck, Yan Zhen just wanted to remind him to put out the light, but maybe the brightness of the fluorescent circle was not enough, it did not alarm the mutants.
