Chapter 67: After the End (7)
Night gradually fell, and the sky was like a huge black claw, slowly reaching out to the empty city.
Those dilapidated high-rise buildings, restless voices began to come from inside, and a pair of red eyes began to emerge from windows, doorways, holes and other places.
Zhang Xiaoyu glanced around, frowned slightly, and hurriedly quickened his pace.
It seemed that there was an error in his estimate, he thought that after the sun went down, the sky would not get dark so quickly, but he did not expect that the dark night in winter would come much faster than usual.
"This protective suit is going to kill my rhythm......" Zhang Xiaoyu ran forward with difficulty, panting, and complained about the bulky protective clothing by the way.
If he hadn't worn this protective suit, which weighed like a lead, maybe he Zhang Xiaoyu would have been on the elevator leading to the underground base by now.
The minutes ticked by.
Zhang Xiaoyu could clearly feel that every second, there was an extra pair of eyes staring at his back in the dark.
"Ahh
Out of nowhere, there was a strange howl, and in the woods ahead, countless crows flew into the sky in shock, and kept making "wow" calls.
A Peugeot sign marked "117" finally appeared in front of him, Zhang Xiaoyu saw this sign, stopped, panting indiscriminately, and his tense nerves were also relaxed.
The "117" sign represents the No. 117 underground base in North America, and behind the sign is the entrance to the underground base.
Now, Zhang Xiaoyu was less than two hundred meters away from the entrance.
"Whew...... Well, it's finally back here before dark. Zhang Xiaoyu walked forward quickly.
But at this time, the unexpected happened suddenly.
"Pong!!"
Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help but be stunned, followed the prestige, and saw behind him, a night demon broke out of the window from the top of the tall building and jumped down!
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyu quickly pulled out his dagger, but he was not stupid enough to attack the night demon, but decisively slipped away and rushed towards the entrance of the elevator.
Now, it's already night, and at night, the night demon's ability will be doubled, and he can completely abuse Zhang Xiaoyu into scum.
Zhang Xiaoyu chose to slip away at the first time, which is actually a very wise choice.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu fleeing, the night demon quickly chased after him.
On the building behind, there was a constant sound of broken glass, and when Zhang Xiaoyu turned around, he saw that there were already five or six night demons jumping out of the ruined building, forming a stormtrooper, and chasing Zhang Xiaoyu fiercely.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyu knew that if he was caught up by these night demons, he would probably be divided into corpses and eaten by them, which was not a good thing, so he gritted his teeth, used all his strength to eat, dragged the bulky protective clothing, and ran forward desperately.
Finally, he finally ran to the front of the elevator entrance, he quickly entered the password, opened the elevator door, this password, when he came, the prison guard told him.
The elevator door slowly opened.
Zhang Xiaoyu prayed for the door to open quickly, and kept looking back, only to see those night demons, like flood beasts, surging towards him, at this time, less than fifty meters away from him!
The door finally opened, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly entered, and then pressed the door close button wildly.
The door closes slowly, slower than a snail!
And those night demons were only less than ten meters away from the elevator at this time!
"Scare!!" The night demon who was running at the front, seeing that the door of the elevator was about to close, jumped up and pounced.
"Bump!!"
There was a muffled sound, and the entire elevator shook violently.
Zhang Xiaoyu staggered back a few steps, and his back hit the iron wall of the elevator.
Fortunately, just at the last moment, the door of the elevator was closed.
At this time, when I looked at the door, there was a fist mark protruding from it.
Zhang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, if the door of the elevator was closed so slowly just now, then he would probably have to report to the King of Yama.
The elevator began to descend slowly, and soon, Zhang Xiaoyu returned to the underground base.
"Welcome back, Mr. James!"
Zhang Xiaoyu had just come out of the elevator, and through the glass window of the isolation belt, he saw the female biologist Sally for the first time. Zhang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you tell me that there is a night demon on the ground?" ”
When Sally heard this, she looked puzzled, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu with suspicious eyes, and said, "Mr. James, you are also the one who survived the end of the day, whether there is a night demon or not, you and I know very well, why bother talking about it?" ”
When Zhang Xiaoyu heard this, he thought that the role he is playing now is a guy named James, and James is a person from this world and must have some understanding of the situation on the ground, so it is reasonable for Sally to send him up on a mission without telling him that there is a night demon on the ground.
Sally then said, "Did you find the sample?" ”
Zhang Xiaoyu took out three sample vials out of the pockets of his protective suit and said, "A spider, a cockroach, and a ladybug." ”
"Good." Sally nodded in satisfaction, then motioned to the police officer next to her to go in and bring the three vials.
The policeman put on his hazmat suit and gloves and went in to get the vial.
Sally added, "Take Mr. James down and disinfect it." ”
Zhang Xiaoyu asked at this time: "Excuse me, is my task completed?" ”
Sally smiled slightly and said, "Mr. James, don't you know that your mission has just begun. Sally helped her gold-rimmed glasses and continued: "The previous mission is actually a test, you can find arthropods in the winter, which shows that your reconnaissance and search skills are very strong, and you can escape from the mouths of lizardwolves and night demons and return to the underground base unscathed, which shows that your strength and ability to respond to emergencies are very strong, and we need people with keen vision, strong force, and calm and unchaotic to carry out an important task related to the future of mankind." ”
When Zhang Xiaoyu heard this, he sighed helplessly and muttered: "Sure enough, the task of collecting arthropod samples just now is just a 'warm-up exercise'......"
The policemen wearing protective clothing took Zhang Xiaoyu down to the disinfection room, and then stripped Zhang Xiaoyu naked and disinfected with special disinfectant water. The smell of the special disinfectant water is very pungent, and Zhang Xiaoyu doesn't want it.
Half an hour later, the torture-like disinfection process was finally over.
Zhang Xiaoyu put on his prison uniform again and took him to Sally's laboratory.
"Mr. James, please be seated." When Sally saw Zhang Xiaoyu coming, she said politely.
Before Zhang Xiaoyu could sit down on the chair, he was escorted by two policemen, forcibly pressed onto the chair, and then handcuffed his hands and feet.
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "The way you invite me to sit is quite special." ”
Sally said: "I'm sorry, I'm an obsessive-compulsive person, even if there is the slightest safety hazard, I won't let it go, which is why the 117th underground base has survived for so long." ”
It seems that Sally is still wary of Zhang Xiaoyu.
"Let's stop talking nonsense, what else do you want me to do?"
Sally smiled slightly, "I just like you being so direct." Immediately, she turned around and controlled the light-sensitive computer, and in front of Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes, a pale cyan transparent page immediately appeared, this page was like the page of the landing space in Nightmare Paradise.
Sally walked over and tapped on the page, and a red graffiti pattern in the shape of a monkey appeared on it.
Sally said, "Next, your mission is to go back 30 years to 2020 and find the Twelve Monkeys. ”
