17.Chapter 17 Yanlord Building
A week had passed since the battle with the hunter team, and Gao Jian and his party had left the shopping street and headed towards the edge of the city, but due to the heavy number of wounded and the need to avoid corpses and mutated creatures at all times, they walked slowly.
Speaking of mutant creatures, Gao Jian has gained a lot of knowledge in the past few days, those mutated big dogs, fist-sized mosquitoes, and two-headed lizards, these are all weak.
That afternoon, Gao Jian was hunting outside, when he suddenly heard a broken voice calling overhead: "Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge." Come, put away the legs, beer, drinks, mineral water, chicken feet and ham bowls of noodles. Come on, retract the legs again. ”
Gao Jian, who has been adrift on the train all year round, was instantly thundered by this familiar voice and looked up.
The wind is gathering dark clouds, and a parrot is flying proudly.
"Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge, it's the last time." Beer, drinks, mineral water, chicken feet and ham, large bowls of noodles. Come and put the leg away. ”
"This must be a parrot that likes to travel by train. And what surprised Gao Jian even more appeared in the back, attracted by the parrot voice, and a zombie walked out of the building.
The parrot stopped calling instantly, its wings converged, and it accelerated to dive and accelerate towards the zombie, and the mutated and sharp beak chiseled open the zombie's skull, killing it in one blow.
The hardness of the human braincase, Gao Jian knows. The evolution of this parrot is ridiculously high, both intellectually and physically.
Quietly retreated, and when the sound of "beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge, come, put away your legs" sounded again in the distance, Gao Jian walked out of hiding and left without looking back.
Over time, there are more and more mutated organisms. This viral catastrophe is the end of the world for humanity, but for other creatures who have long been accustomed to natural selection, it is an opportunity to move up the food chain anew.
Every creature brings out its greatest potential, and this may be the meaning of life.
In the course of a week, Gao Jian devoured several blood-colored crystal nuclei one after another, but the effect was not obvious, it only accelerated the healing of the wound, and did not enhance his strength too much.
As for Xiaohua, although she has the dual offering of blood-colored crystal nuclei and live food, her recovery speed is far less than that of Gao Jian, and she can't walk alone, but her body seems to have become taller.
Xu Lao's injury is not easy to say, Gao Jian didn't dare to let him take the blood-colored crystal nucleus casually, he could only rely on himself to slowly recover, fortunately Xu Lao's body was tough, but there was no danger to his life.
Xiao Zhen's fever has subsided, but he doesn't like to talk more and more, and often hides in the corner alone with his mother's photo, not crying, not making trouble, but not letting people into his world.
Ye Bing should have the best mentality among all of them, taking care of Xiao Yi every day, occasionally making a joke, or holding up the teacher's frame to bully Gao Jian.
Overall, this period of time was a time of trepidation, but it was a rare time of relief since the end of the world.
However, the time of happiness is always short-lived, and on this day, when Xiaohua finished eating the big fish and looked at his bulging belly with an incredible face, Xu Lao found Gao Jian.
"We seem to be being targeted. ”
When a person and a corpse came to the roof of the small building where they were hiding, there were still rain flowers in the sky, and the rain was much lighter than a few days ago.
"That's it, look closely. ”
Following the direction of Xu Lao's finger, a giant snake could be vaguely seen winding under the turbid water, refusing to leave for a long time.
Gao Jian's eyes turned red, and after a few enhancements, his eyesight was much stronger than that of ordinary people, "Judging from the part where it occasionally emerges from the water, this snake is more than 5 meters long, or it is more appropriate to call it a python." ”
"Is this the strange snake created by the crow organization?" Xu Lao held the shotgun, a little nervous.
Gao Jian shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the snake of that organization doesn't have such a big ......" Halfway through speaking, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and just now, the moment the mud and sand stirred, the two artificial thin claws clinging to the scales glowed with a metallic light.
"It's a problem. ”
They didn't dare to stay any longer, and the snakes' eyesight was very poor, so the Raven Organization simply replaced their eyeballs with cameras, so that they could feed back the scene to the company as soon as possible.
Patting Xu Lao on the shoulder, they retreated into the building, and Gao Jian took paper and pen: "Yes, that is the strange snake of the crow organization, it is very dangerous, don't be careless." ”
The "strange snake" I encountered last time was less than two meters, and the length of this one was actually more than 5 meters, Gao Jian felt furious in his heart: "What if there is more than one such strange snake?"
He can escape by himself, but what about Xu Lao and Xiao are still them?
"I'll hold it down, and you get out of here and run to the edge of the city, as far as you can. ”
"I'm here to help, too, it's deep outside, and it's not advantageous for you to fight it in such an environment. Let me shoot you from afar, and find a chance to blow its head. Xu Lao was very firm, he took out the pistol given to him by Gao Jian from his arms, loaded it, and loaded it: "Don't refuse, this is the safest way." ”
"I won't go......" Ye Bing was about to say something, Gao Jian waved his hand, he picked up Xiao still and put it next to Ye Bing: "Take care of him." ”
Picking up the short knife on the dining table, Gao Jian and Xu Lao went out one after the other.
The drizzle taps on the water, stirring the ripples of the turbid world, and the gray city background seems to be a kind of Gothic poetry.
The short knife was held in his hand, Gao Jian looked at the qi qi in front of him, his face was calm, of course he knew the murderous intent hidden under the water, but he was not afraid. On the night of the fierce battle with the hunter team, he not only received a genetic strengthening, but more importantly, he gained a fearless and daring heart to challenge.
Stepping into waist-high water, the bubbles that suddenly disappeared in the distance made him understand that the self-righteous predator was ready to prey, perhaps slowly approaching, or hiding in a more secluded place, spitting black snake letters and wiping his hideous fangs.
The turbid stagnant water provides it with natural protection, and it is not a reciprocal duel, but a brutal battle between different creatures.
"Be careful!"
The surface of the water was cleansed with irregular water patterns, and the cunning predator hidden under the water actually attacked Xu Lao first.
"Corpse King's Feast - Flesh Mania!"
The 30 percent increase in ability gives Gao Jian the speed and explosiveness that only sprinters have.
Without waiting for Gao Jian to arrive, Xu Lao raised his gun and fired, decades of military experience gave him the ability to perceive danger, close to intuition, after he was betrayed by the thin man, this ability seemed to be activated, and it was a bit outrageous.
raised his hand and fired three shots in a row, and two blood flowers floated five or six meters away from Xu Lao. Xu Lao was not greedy, as a veteran, he knew his position in this battle, long-range support and long-range shooting.
Retreat to the small building, half-cover the door, and only point the muzzle of the black hole at the murky water.
Gao Jian, 5. The 8-caliber Type 92 pistol uses a steel-core pointed bullet, which can shoot through even if it is blocked by scales. So, don't worry about the bloodstain disappearing, you have plenty of time to find it. ”
Nodding, of course Gao Jian will not be careless, the most dangerous place of this strange snake is the artificially modified sharp steel claws, he still remembers the final fate of the cake zombie, and he is quite in awe of the technology condensed by human wisdom.
The blood flowers floated on the surface of the water like a silk ribbon for conjuring spirits, and the color was very light, but it attracted all the attention of Gao Jian and Xu Lao.
"It moved. ”
After a few seconds of pause, the blood began to drift into the distance.
"Just left?" Xu Lao pushed open the door and was a little surprised.
"It's not that simple. Gao Jian's face was gloomy, the ghost of the crow organization was still missing, and they could still find their traces in the last days like hell, which was going to be targeted, and I don't know what means the other party would have.
"Run, hurry. ”
Watching the blood flower drift farther and farther, Gao Jian didn't think about chasing over and killing the strange snake, but the water was waist-high, and the environment here was very complicated, so he was not completely sure that he could kill the other party.
Returning to the small building and cleaning up briefly, Gao Jian carried Xiaohua and Ye Bing on his back and fled towards the edge of the city.
Still, he underestimated the Raven Order's energy in the city, and his own status in its eyes.
In no more than half an hour, Xiaohua, who was lying quietly on Gao Jian's back, suddenly turned her head and roared at the water behind her, and as soon as Gao Jian turned around, her scarlet pupils instantly shrank into a little.
Under the murky water, several strange snakes of unknown length followed them with swaying bodies of different colors without hurrying or slow, and shadows continued to snake in the distance.
"Desperate?"
Gao Jian's heart was like fire, and he wanted to remind Ye Bing and Xu Lao, but the impatient corpse roar couldn't effectively convey anything.
"What to do?
Through the rain curtain, he saw a majestic building standing on the horizon not far away.
"Standing water is no match for these strange snakes, let's hide in the building first. Before he had time to explain to the others, Gao Jian grabbed Xu Lao and Ye Bing and ran towards the building.
"Gao Jian, where are you going?" was taken aback by Gao Jian's sudden move, and it took Xu Lao a long time to react: "Hey, you shouldn't be going to that building." ”
Breaking free from Gao Jian's hand, Xu Lao stood a little stubbornly: "Boy, listen to me, that building was very evil before, it was built on the cemetery, and one of my veteran comrades-in-arms was on the spot during the construction." There was an inexplicable accident when it was covered, and more than one or two people died. Later, after the construction was completed, there were always people who chose to jump off the building there. This ghost place was like this before the end of the world, and after the end of the world, won't it become even more terrifying, maybe it will be hidden...... Hey, stinky boy, let me down, what I told you is true, ah, you're pulling my wounds!"
Holding up Xu Lao with one hand, Gao Jian didn't care what was hidden there, he only knew that if he didn't take action, he would be chased by the snakes behind him immediately.
A few minutes later, when Gao Jian arrived at the main entrance of the building, he stopped suddenly, and his scarlet eyes showed such a scene: behind the closed glass door, a middle-aged man with hair was looking at them with a smile, and the banner in his hand clearly read, "Welcome to Yanlord Building!"
