Stepping on the rusty iron frame, I couldn't help but look at the wet ground, although it was only three stories high, I was afraid that if I fell down, I was afraid that it would hurt a lot. Looking at Xie Tao again, he was about the same age as me and easily knocked on the fire door in front of the platform, and then like a special soldier in people's impressions, he skillfully carried his rifle behind his back, held a pistol in his hand, and sneaked into the room with steady but silent steps. I knew that I couldn't do his series of handsome movements, so I had to lean down and quietly follow him.

Turning a hidden corner, we came to the sales section of a department store. As you can tell from the fancy outfits of the models in the shops on both sides, we are in the women's department of the mall, and I usually don't like to stay in a place that I still don't want to stay in. The main lighting on this floor was not turned on, and the shops in the corners were put up and put on the iron fence. The models in the shop have made me mistakenly think someone is approaching a few times, but Xie Tao doesn't seem to make that kind of mistake.

"We're in." I'm always on the phone with the outside team, which will somewhat reduce their concerns," I said. ”

"It's better to find an open view of the whole mall."

It was rare for Huang Canmin to give us a listening opinion, and at this time, Xie Tao also happened to make a gesture towards me to move on. "Got it, I think Xie Tao should know the way."

Sure enough, under the guidance of Xie Tao, we came to a position that should be a viewing railing. The two of us quietly popped out of our heads, and in a few moments we had a rough idea of the basic layout of the building. The department store is a five-storey hollow building, with each floor having a central viewing corridor about the size of two basketball courts, which overlooks the central leisure plaza on the first floor. This bandit den did not look like a filthy pirate cave full of loot as I thought, but its layout was so orderly that it was even more organized than the Tianyang base, and it was hard to imagine a group of burning, killing and looting bandits living here.

Perhaps because the windows were sealed, the light on the first and second floors was obviously darker than the other floors, and it was estimated that Liang Minxuan and Wei Liqin and his party were locked up in these two floors. The recreation plaza on the first floor is surrounded by an ugly iron bar, which looks like a colosseum or a place where some kind of cult group openly tries prisoners, while the viewing gallery on the second floor is also welded with iron fences, which is supposed to be the prison cells where prisoners are kept. The third floor where we are not very renovated is just a few supplies stocked up in some shops, but they are all daily necessities that will not help us much.

We couldn't see the layout of the floors above, but the brightly lit fourth or fifth floors would have convinced me that the bandits were living above, and I didn't have the heart to figure out what they were like. There was a faint smell of boring conversation and all sorts of vulgar jokes from the bandits upstairs, and there was still some smell of oil smoke in the air, and it seemed that the apocalyptic life of these guys was much more nourishing than ours.

"Oh, Niu, you should come in and have a look......" I have to say that I sincerely admire this person named Qin Rong, he can arrange a group of bandits' base in such an orderly manner, which shows that he is not only a ruthless character but also a shrewd guy, "This is like a cave kingdom." ”

"What do you mean?" Huang Weizheng on the other end couldn't feel the environment I was in, and judging from his tone, I think he just wanted to finish my nonsense early and shut me up.

"Uh......" I just wanted to make some descriptions, but Xie Tao turned his head and looked at me with a frown, as if he didn't want to hear my small talk like Huang Weizheng, so I had to dismiss this idea with interest, "It's nothing...... Sigh. ”

"I think your friends should be locked up on the second floor, let's go down and have a look." Xie Tao's words are exactly what I want, but I'm more worried about how many people will be patrolling down there.

I wanted to ask Xie Tao what to do, but he turned around and looked confident, and I naturally didn't want him and his friends on the other end of the communicator to think that I was a failed teammate. After thinking about it, I decided that it would be more appropriate to be an honest follower.

It is possible to find a suitable hidden spot so quickly and accurately in a completely unfamiliar environment, and then get closer to the destination little by little. This kind of ability can only be acquired after several months of professional training, and for Xie Tao, a young special forces soldier in front of me, this is just a repetition of the essentials of his usual familiar movements. From the sneaking movements of me and him, it is not difficult to see who is a soldier and who is more like a bandit.

We walk through the rows of shelves like the wind in the dark, and the mannequin figures that occasionally flash by our eyes are the only witnesses. Coming to the stalled escalator, Xie Tao slowed down his progress, and he waved his hand up and down at me, reminding me to pay attention to concealment. At the same time, there was a sound of leisurely footsteps from under the escalator, and a bright flashlight swayed in the air with a slight regularity.

"I'll go up first!" A man's hoarse voice came from downstairs, followed by the noise he made as he ascended the escalator.

Seeing this, Xie Tao and I hurriedly looked for a corner where we could hide. I was still some distance from the escalator, and before the man had yet to climb the floor, I hid in the locker room that happened to be right at hand, leaving only a small gap to observe the movement; Xie Tao is not as lucky as me, he is only a few steps away from the escalator, it can be said that as long as the man's steps are faster and his eyes are sharper, he can directly find that he has not been found.

Seeing that Xie Tao was about to be discovered, at a critical moment, he hid sideways into the hanger full of clothes in the store next to the escalator, and moved the position a little bit by virtue of his judgment of the other party's blind spot, so as to achieve the effect of hiding.

The man swaggered up to our floor, lazy and wearing a casual blazer that didn't match him on the upper half of his body, and a pair of black sweatpants on the lower body, looking like an extremely tasteless guy. He held a homemade earthen gun in his right hand and leaned against his shoulder, whistling and wandering around. In front of the store shelves in the locker room where I was hiding, he picked up clothes with great interest as if he were about to choose clothes for his beloved girlfriend. The flashlight he taped to his shoulder was like a searchlight that kept sweeping back and forth in front of the locker room, and I quietly closed the locker room door, forgetting that it didn't block my legs. The damn design made the man immediately notice the strangeness of the locker room. It was only when I heard him hum that I suddenly realized that I had been exposed.

I gritted my teeth, I wanted to rush out and fight hard. But just as I was about to do something about it, there was a muffled sound from a man outside the door, and he sounded very painful, but he couldn't scream because he was covered with his mouth and nose. The slight movement quickly ended, and I pushed open the door to look, and found that Xie Tao had turned off the flashlight on the shoulder of the man who had fallen to the ground, and was about to drag it into a corner.

"You killed him?" I asked in a whisper.

"No, but I won't wake up for a while." Xie Tao looked around and decided to drag this unlucky guy into the locker room where I was hiding, "Come, help me find some clothes." ”

The two of us left the unconscious bandit in the locker room and covered it with several unobtrusive black clothes, believing that his presence would not be discovered without careful observation.

After getting used to groping in the dark, I came to the bright second floor in a blink of an eye, which made me sincerely yearn for the dark corner for the first time. As soon as we squatted down the escalator, we saw two big men sitting in the middle of the aisle, chatting. They sat facing each other, and there were no dead spots in their line of sight, at least in the area in front of the escalator entrance, if even a mouse passed through it. Xie Tao and I could only cower at a small baffle in front of the escalator entrance. Xie Tao quietly poked out half of his head and retracted it almost instantly. Just a second or so is enough time for him to see our situation.

"I can't deal with both of them at the same time." Xie Tao leaned closer and said.

"Then I'll help you."

"There's no way, we don't have silencers. The two men were sitting together, and they were facing each other. ”

"Do you want us to help?" Huang Weizheng's voice came from the earphones, "We found Qin Rong at the door, he brought a large cart of supplies and was about to enter the gate." ”

"I can kill him." Hwang Chanmin's voice in the communicator and this sentence suddenly made me feel like a battle-hardened cold sniper, and it was hard to think of his despicable deeds.

Unexpectedly, Huang Canmin's words were immediately dismissed by Xie Tao: "No, our mission is not to assassinate." This would anger the bandits, threaten the lives of Du Yuheng and their friends, and even cause trouble for the base. ”

"Just a proposal, Mr. Nanny."

Before our discussion was over, the mall radio suddenly sounded. "The boss is back, and the handling team immediately goes to unload the goods."

After hearing the announcement, the two big men reluctantly stood up and walked towards the escalator leading to the first floor, while the bandits who were resting elsewhere on the second floor also ran to the first floor with shouting. Xie Tao and I took the opportunity to get into the locker room of the shop next to the armrest, and this time we were lucky, the locker room was not only in a corner, but also had a stool. Xie Tao and I stepped awkwardly on the stool, lamenting the excellent quality of the stool while waiting for the surrounding calm to return.

"Hurry up and unload, you can watch the last game of the day when you're done!" One of the bandits who passed by our store said, "I remember this combination was interesting." ”

Xie Tao and I were still wondering about the game in this person's mouth, and then his companion immediately gave us the answer. "That's right, a combination of a hot woman and a stupid big man, I didn't expect the two of them to survive in the end. I heard that there are five zombies going to be released today. ”

"Two? That's terrible, I guess they won't survive. ”

"What's the solution, it's all death anyway. For them, it's a day to live. ”

"It's exciting enough, but they also believe the boss's words, and they will release them after clearing the customs, how can they let them go......"

The conversation between the two bastards faded away, but for me, it was enough. If you guessed correctly, the team they were talking about was Liang Minxuan and Wei Liqin, I couldn't believe that these crazy perverts actually took pleasure in fighting between survivors and zombies! I could feel the temperature of my red cheeks, and my angry breathing could not be calmed at all.

"Calm down, Du Yuheng."

How is it possible to calm down? Although I know why Xie Tao said this, after all, I don't have the extraordinary warrior psychology like him, let alone Huang Weizheng's sanity and calmness. I only know that Liang Minxuan and Wei Liqin don't have much time left, and once these people finish unloading and their perverted performances begin, I can only watch the two of them go to their deaths.

"Let's go." I patiently urged, "Time is running out. ”

"Hmm." As the noise grew from near to far, Xie Tao slowly walked down the stool, pushed open a crack in the door and watched, beckoned me to immediately hide in a counter, and continued, "According to my judgment, most of the people just now came from the left, and I guess what they focused on guarding was there, and Liang Minxuan and they were probably locked there." ”

"I think so, let's go."

"Wait." Xie Tao grabbed me, and he seemed to have something to say in his eyes.

Seeing that he was thinking about it, I asked impatiently, "What's wrong?" Still have questions? ”

"Uh...... Didn't ......."

In my opinion, Xie Tao is not a guy who can lie, and his erratic eyes have completely betrayed him. Just as I was about to ask what was going on, Huang Canmin on the other end of the communicator suddenly shouted: "Du Yuheng, come out quickly!" We're in trouble! ”

"What's the trouble?"

The voice from the communicator suddenly became quite noisy, as if Huang Canmin and them were on the battlefield, and the sound of gunfire suddenly beat my heartbeat. One or two, followed by a series of gunshots and roars, as well as cursing when Huang Canmin fired. It can be heard that they are facing at least a dozen bandits, and they are also armed with guns, and the firepower does not seem to be below us.

"We've been tricked! There are a lot of bastards in this building at once! We're moving too! The little woman found an emergency exit. ”

"Don't call me a little woman! Watch out for me to shoot through your head! Even with such chaos, Zhang Xiaoying's sharpness still did not decrease, and the curses were louder than gunshots.

"Meet near the same restaurant as before." Judging from the voice, Huang Weizheng and Huang Canmin's location is not far away, and Zhang Xiaoying is the same, it seems that they are all suppressed in a corner, "Let's go!" ”

"Okay, be careful." After answering Huang Weizheng, I turned my eyes to look at Xie Tao, who was still absent-minded, and sighed, "Let's withdraw first, Huang Weizheng may be in trouble there." ”

I was about to get up, but I didn't expect Xie Tao, who was still moving quickly just now, suddenly became like a frightened child, he looked at me in a panic, his moist eyes were as red as his face, his chapped lips kept trembling, and there was a trembling voice from his slightly open mouth, as if the words were on his lips but difficult to speak.

"Well, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, Yu Heng ......" Xie Tao shook his head and stepped back, I could only stand there and look at him blankly before I could figure out the situation, "It's my fault......"

"How could it be your fault?" It turned out that this soldier was feeling guilty about our troubles, so I sniffed and tried my best not to burden him and said, "It's okay, there's Huang Canmin over there, let's go quickly." ”

In fact, at this time, all I could hear from my headphones was busy, and we had lost contact with Hwang Chanmin and the others, so I had to fool myself into telling myself that they should just leave the area covered by the channel. However, Xie Tao's self-blame made me unable to bear the anxiety, and the uneasy mood had to be borne by me alone.

"It's not like that...... It's me...... My mission is to get you caught by the bandits......"
