Chapter 65: The Forest
There was silence in the power distribution room, and outside the door was the sound of tidal footsteps, which were very harsh, and it was clear that most of the zombies' skin and flesh were beginning to take off, and their foot bones were directly rubbing against the ground.
It took ten minutes for the noise outside to fade away, and Verelle carefully unscrewed the watch's luminous glow, which provided a faint light into the room.
"What about the secret passages you are talking about? Where is it? ”
Chen Hang lowered his voice, he pointed upstairs and whispered: "The location on the twentieth floor, where is the marketing center of Chen's Technology, there is a secret elevator there, it has an independent power generation system, and it can go all the way to the top floor of the Empire State Building. We've got to find a way to get there. ”
"The twentieth floor? So high? How do we get there? Lu Lili looked embarrassed, everyone knows the number of zombies just now, the Empire State Building has become a nest of zombies, with such a density, not to mention the twentieth floor, it is impossible to go to the twelfth floor.
Chen Hang pointed to the ventilation duct on his head, and he whispered: "It's not that difficult, we can go up through this."
The building's ventilation ducts are thick enough that we can drill up from there. It's just that the distance is not easy to judge, but it is much safer than going from the outside. ”
There are overalls in the power distribution room, Lu Lili also found a flashlight here, Chen Hang removed the baffle of the ventilation pipe, he was the leader, and after Verilla, everyone got into it one by one.
As Chen Hang said, the ventilation ducts of the building are thick enough for an adult to crawl inside, but the only thing is that the dust in the pipes is large and he feels a little suffocated.
After advancing more than ten meters, an intersection appeared in front of him, Chen Hang chose to go to the right, and the team climbed to the top of a fence.
Here is the ventilation design of the ventilation duct, which is generally a closed office underneath, and the design of the fence can provide air exchange for the office.
Chen Hang passed very quickly, he quickly climbed through the fence area, Anne followed, and she unexpectedly heard a continuous "coo, coo" sound, which came from the office under the fence.
Anne looked over curiously, and through the perspective fence, Anne saw a terrible scene.
The red walls, the red windows, the red floor, and the office below were completely blood-red. The floor of the office was muddy and covered with a thick layer of meat puree. Inside this layer of flesh, there were more than a dozen bloody skeletons, and the flesh on the skeletons was basically stripped clean, leaving only some tendon tissue hanging on it.
Mixed with these skeletons are a dozen or so zombies, the zombies are rolling in the flesh, their bodies are completely painted red, each zombie is a blur of flesh and blood, they are licking and eating these internal organs, food.
"Vomit", Anne immediately covered her mouth, she almost screamed, Anne was so frightened that her face turned pale on the spot, but she couldn't take her eyes off, Anne's eyes were fixed below.
A hand stretched out from behind, and Lu Lili's palm covered Anne's eyes, and the frightened Anne came back to her senses.
Lu Lili nudged Anne, who nodded in trepidation, and she slowly crawled forward, and Anne finally left the fence.
The people behind no longer looked down, but everyone could smell the strong smell of blood in the air, and in the quiet crawling, the team finally reached the first "staircase".
This is the design inside the ventilation ducts, where the passage becomes vertical, and along the metal pipes, an aluminum escalator is installed inside, and everyone can follow this escalator to the upper floor.
Chen Hang quickly climbed to the top, he shook it with a flashlight, which meant that the top was safe, and Anne climbed up.
The climb was a bit difficult for Anne, as her baby was wrapped in her chest, which made it more difficult for her, but Anne didn't say anything, and she tried to climb up.
It took quite a while to get through this passage, and by the time Verelle was last on the platform, more than half an hour had passed.
After a brief rest here, the team continued to the front, and the speed of Chen Hang's leadership became significantly faster.
He had discovered the secrets of the pipes, each turning point was numbered with markings that represented different directions, and the arrows pointing upwards were the passages leading upstairs.
Anne also began to get used to the pipe crawl, and she began to learn from the experience, and Anne found a way to do it with less effort. She stopped looking around, and Anne just crawled forward with all her might, and the speed of the group became much faster.
When they reached the ninth floor, the team began their first rest, and everyone was a little tired.
Lying in the pipe, the surrounding is a cramped and narrow space, and the pipe is very stuffy, such an environment consumes everyone's physical strength, and everyone is sweating profusely.
This time the rest took a full ten minutes, during which Lu Lili distributed food to everyone to replenish the energy consumed by crawling, and everyone chewed carefully, and there was no sound in the pipe.
When the strength was restored, the team moved forward, and Anne carefully covered Hope's little face with gauze, which would keep Hope out of the air.
Just as Anne was concentrating on crawling, her head unexpectedly hit Chen Hang's buttocks, and Chen Hang in front of him stopped for some reason, his whole body tensed there.
Any questions? Anne asked in her heart, she stretched out her head curiously, Anne looked at Chen Hang in front of her through the gap, and she was instantly stunned.
A snake, a big snake, a python that was ridiculously big and almost filled half of the passage, and it was actually blocked in front of the ventilation duct.
This is a forest snake, a very large one, this forest snake is extremely large, its waist is the thickness of a person, it must have escaped from the zoo.
The snake seemed to be hibernating, its eyes were not open, its huge mouth was closed, a long fang-sharp fang on the right side of its lip was inserted, and the snake made a "purring" sound.
The forest snake is not poisoned, it is in a fairly good state, but no one here dares to take it lightly, it is still a huge monster.
Chen Hang waved his hand back, signaling everyone to slowly retreat, and Anne immediately conveyed this gesture.
The people behind understood very quickly, everyone knew that they had encountered a situation, and the team began to slowly retreat. Just as the team was about to exit ten meters away, about to turn into a corner, suddenly two crisp voices came - Little Hope coughed.
With a "huh", the forest python in the distance suddenly opened its eyes, and its vertical pupils stared at Chen Hang's body, and the team was exposed.
