Chapter 5: "Him" (I)
The creaking of stepping on the wooden planks made the second-floor corridor of the Dead Silent Building inexplicably weird.
Zhang Ye's pupils went from left to right, taking in everything in the corridor, but the corridor he was in didn't have anything unusual except for dust, it was an ordinary, common kind of office area.
Zhang Ye didn't carefully investigate the room behind each wooden door, he looked at each other and nodded with the two Huang Tai brothers who came up from another staircase, and then took Yang Tingting to continue to step up the stairs.
The next eleven floors were the same as the second floor, and everything was as normal as the streets, with no sign of anything unusual or something terrible going on.
It's like everyone disappeared out of thin air in the same second, but according to the clues that Zhang Ye found, the ability possessed by the third kind of end-world realm king and his minions is not an extremely happy way to die that directly makes people disappear out of thin air, but a killing on the material level that is similar to the previous two end times.
And if an entire city of millions of people really disappears in an instant, how did that distress signal come from? And who's sending it constantly?
There were no clues or evidence to tell Zhang Ye why, but when he stepped into the fourteenth floor, he knew that he was about to get the answer.
Because at last there was a vision in front of his eyes, a white skeleton that could not be seen by the naked eye, slowly melting into the wall.
The sight in front of him made Zhang Ye think for a while that the people of Balanham City were not killed by the Realm King or his minions, but were devoured by the city itself.
Because if the Realm King has the ability to turn the entire first-tier city into his pet, then the difference in strength between it and the second apocalypse is too great, and it will completely disrupt the balance, and only the Watcher will do so if he intends to trap the human Seeker team.
"Brother Ye, do you think this place is weird?" Yang Tingting asked in a low voice.
Zhang Ye turned his head to look at Yang Tingting when he heard the words and said, "Tell me, what's weird?" ā
Zhang Ye never misses the "feeling" of Yang Tingting, because although it is inconspicuous, it is easy to understand that it is too much to think about or too nervous, but sometimes it can be of great help.
"IāI don't know, it's a bit like the first time I've entered Silent Hill, it's indescribably weird." Yang Tingting frowned slightly, as if that strange feeling was "thriving" more and more with her words.
Zhang Ye patted her on the shoulder and led the way forward, and when they walked past the white bones, the white bones seemed to be still alive, slowly reaching out to touch them.
Zhang Ye knew that their purpose in doing so was not malicious, so he didn't care about them, but took Yang Tingting to the only staircase that led to the fifteenth floor, where he and the two brothers Huang Tai met.
"You're trying to find me, to find where the distress signal is going, then congratulations, you've made it."
Abrupt, playful voices are heard through the public address system to every corner of the building.
Zhang Ye did not respond, but opened his "source eyes" and looked around, he was surprised to find a person who was still alive.
Zhang Ye's surprise at this time was undisguised, because even he was at such a close distance before he found out that there were survivors in this building.
The survivors they were looking for.
"We have no ill will." Zhang Ye spoke out to express the attitude of the seeker.
"That's right, that's right, everyone I meet will not have ill will towards me, until they see what I have stored, what about you? What are you here for? Bullet? Food? Water? Or is it already used to eating human flesh? His tone seemed like he was used to seeing everything in the world, but there was a hint of madness.
"We don't need any supplies, we just need information from you." Zhang Ye said bluntly.
"Interesting, come on, I'll open the door for you." His words did not make Zhang Ye happy, but became more and more vigilant.
It's not that Zhang Ye always thinks about how bad and bad others are, but after experiencing a variety of apocalyptics and seeing a lot, he knows that human nature that tends to be dark will indeed do a lot of unexpected things.
So after he agreed, he turned his head and said to Yang Tingting with his voice: "Don't go in later, stay outside." ā
The latter nodded, and Zhang Ye said in the same way to the two Huang Tai brothers who appeared not far away: "Turn on the airplane mode and be ready to take the package to the sky at any time." ā
The two brothers also nodded, and then the group of four people walked up the final stairs to a heavy iron door on the fifteenth floor of the building, where a variety of combination locks and identification devices were installed.
Looking at the high-tech gate in front of him, which was incompatible with the entire building, Zhang Ye said to the camera above the iron gate: "Open the door, I promise not to hurt you." ā
After that, he put the original sword by the door, and the two brothers Huang Tai and Yang Tingting also disarmed, but they kept a distance that they could reach out for at any time.
"That's right, that's what good food should look like."
As soon as his voice fell, the walls, ceilings, and ground around Zhang Ye and the others began to squirm like living beings at the same time!
Zhang Ye's pupils spread instantly, and the strong telekinesis forcibly stopped the peristalsis! The two brothers, Huang Tai and Yang Tingting, also reached out to retrieve the weapon and mobilized the power in their bodies at the same time!
"Wait, wait, that's just a joke, it's a little too excited to see the same kind for a long time, please come in, I promise there won't be a next time, of course you can bring your own weapons."
With the sound of his words, the heavy iron door slowly opened, and Zhang Ye also knew through his telekinesis that the wriggling around him had stopped.
Zhang Ye, who had relieved the suppression of telekinesis, led Huang Tai and the three of them into the room behind the iron door, and they found that it was originally a large conference room, but now it had been transformed into a large laboratory.
Guarded by the many instruments and pipes is a three-meter-high columnar transparent vessel that connects to all the instruments and equipment through the pipes, and then provides everything needed for the floating brains in it.
Yes, it's just a full brain, no bones or other parts of flesh, and it looks a little disgusting.
"Welcome, welcome, please don't be scared by my appearance, I'm still me." His tone was like that of a hospitable person, but the trace of madness was always there, even if it was like a gossamer, it couldn't escape Zhang Ye's ears.
Zhang Ye looked around and looked at everything in the laboratory, and said to him, "That's how you survived?" ā
"As you can see, I may not be alive, but at least my spirit will always be connected to the city, find a place to sit down, and let's talk." (To be continued.) )
