Volume 1 Doomsday Escape Chapter 9 Underground
"Since it's okay for you to hide at home, and it was night when the incident happened, there should be a lot of people hiding at home and not going out. But along the way, I didn't meet a single living person. Xu Tianpeng was a little puzzled.
Li Shanshan glanced at him, suddenly hesitated, but finally said: "The building opposite my house, there is a family on the fourth floor, and they didn't draw the curtains. In the early hours of the morning the day before yesterday, I saw the man and the woman eating their children. ”
Xu Tianpeng stopped suddenly. But he quickly recalled that he and Su Li were still on the phone the morning before, and she didn't have anything unusual.
"Not everyone will change, so I'm fine." Li Shanshan comforted.
Xu Tianpeng nodded, but his mood was still a little heavy.
Li Shanshan took out the key and prepared to open the door.
"Ho-ho-ho-......" A strange low roar suddenly sounded behind them, and the two turned their heads and rushed down the stairs of the fifth floor with a zombie.
Xu Tianpeng threw away the bag in his hand at once, ready to pull out the knife behind him. But he had covered it with a knife on the hem of his clothes, and it was too late to lift his clothes. The zombie descended from above very quickly, and pounced in front of him at once. Xu Tianpeng stepped forward and kicked it, it fell down the stairs, and quickly got up again, grabbed Xu Tianpeng's shoulders with both hands, and the fishy mouth was about to reach his neck. Xu Tianpeng grabbed its neck and pushed it away, but the zombie was taller than him, and its strength was much greater than that of ordinary people. Xu Tianpeng gradually fell into a downward trend, and it was not long after the stalemate.
"Draw a knife and stab it! There's a knife behind me! Xu Tianpeng shouted.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the back of his buttocks, Xu Tianpeng trembled, and the zombie's mouth was a little closer, and he was almost bitten. Li Shanshan had already pulled out the knife and stabbed it into the stomach of the zombie.
"Stab it in the head!" Xu Tianpeng ninja shouted in pain.
Li Shanshan pierced it in the temple again, but apparently did not pierce it.
"Neck! Neck! Xu Tianpeng then shouted. He forgot that he was choking the zombie's neck, and there was nowhere to go under the knife. Li Shanshan quickly ran behind the zombie and stabbed into the zombie's spine, but not deeply. She twisted the knife and plunged it deeply, and the zombie finally went limp. But the mouth still kept biting. Xu Tianpeng took the knife from Li Shanshan's hand and stabbed it through the zombie's eye, and it finally didn't move.
"Whew......" Xu Tianpeng leaned on the door frame, panting heavily. He touched his butt, which was already wet. When Li Shanshan drew the knife, she cut his buttocks.
Li Shanshan also saw the blood stains on his pants, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I cut your butt." ”
Xu Tianpeng glared at her fiercely and said, "You don't seem to be too scared." ”
Li Shanshan actually smiled and said, "My dad used to kill pigs. ”
Xu Tianpeng was speechless.
The two entered the house, and Li Shanshan, under the guidance of Xu Tianpeng, poisoned his wound with iodine and pasted gauze.
"There's a superstitious saying in our hometown that you can't keep medicine at home. As long as you have it, you will be using it quickly. I just got the gauze this morning, and I used it. Xu Tianpeng complained.
"I saved your life, and I apologize. Don't be so careful, you big man. Li Shanshan replied. Do you want to take a break before you go? ”
"No, if you delay any longer, you won't be able to get home today. I've known for a long time that being nosy would be bad luck. ”
"Okay, okay, anyway, I want to thank you today!" Li Shanshan patted him on the shoulder. "Then you have to be careful. By the way, go out and help me drag the dead man at the door, otherwise it will stink to death. ”
Xu Tianpeng glared at her fiercely again.
"Watch out for eyeballs falling out!"
Xu Tianpeng dragged the corpse at the door to the street, sweating tiredly. Li Shanshan waved to him at the window. Xu Tianpeng also waved at her, turned around and walked towards the subway.
The subway tracks are barricaded with barbed wire on both sides, and there is a power grid on the top level. But now, don't worry about electric shock. The barbed wire fence was not high, Xu Tianpeng threw the bag over, and then turned it over.
Walking on the subway tracks is much lighter than walking on the street below. The track is built higher than the ground, and the air above it is fresher. When he passed by the Zhonghuamen subway station, he found that it was really dark in the station, there was no one, and the screen doors were closed, which was very safe. It only took him 20 minutes to walk from Zhonghuamen Station to Andemen Station. Ahead, the track is going to go underground again, and it will not go out of the ground until it passes Jiangning Baijiahu Station. And this section of the road, there are close to 20 kilometers. In other words, Xu Tianpeng had to walk underground for nearly four or five hours without seeing his fingers before he could see the light of day again. He looked at the swarthy mouth of the tunnel and suddenly regretted it. Not to mention whether you will encounter zombies, the endless darkness alone is enough to make people collapse.
But now that it's all here, it's too weak to regret it when it comes to the end. What's more, if you walk outside, not only is it more dangerous, but it will also delay at least a day more. Xu Tianpeng gritted his teeth and walked in. Fortunately, he had just picked up a small flashlight at the convenience store, otherwise he would definitely not have the courage and the ability to move forward.
Soon the light behind it was gone. The brightness of the small flashlight is quite limited, and it can only illuminate the ground one or two meters in front of you. There were sleepers underneath the rails, but the distance between the two tracks and the edge of the tunnel was relatively flat, except for the occasional appearance of cables and other facilities, so that Xu Tianpeng stumbled and walked much slower than expected.
There was no light behind him, and in the dark, Xu Tianpeng's senses were infinitely amplified, the sound of dripping water in the tunnel, and the sound of small insects crawling over the small stones on the ground, he could hear it clearly, and his heart was pounding. There was wind in the tunnel, blowing from the front, cool and wet, with the characteristic smell of earth and decay in the tunnel. Whenever there was any movement, he was shocked into sweat, blown by the wind, and his clothes were cold and sticking to his body.
I don't know how long it took him to get to Software Avenue Station, which felt like a century long. There are still six stops ahead. The rotten breath in the air seemed to be starting to get heavier, Xu Tianpeng sniffed his nose vigorously, but he couldn't feel it again, it seemed to be an illusion. He walked a little further on, into the track section of Software Avenue Station. The smell in the air suddenly became stronger. It wasn't the usual smell of decay in the tunnels, it was the stench of corpses. Xu Tianpeng suddenly raised his flashlight to shine on the screen door next to him, and found that there was a person standing behind the door. The light hit him in the face, and it turned white. The man let out a high-pitched scream, climbed over the screen door and fell into orbit. The scream reverberated back and forth in the empty subway station, as if water had dripped into a hot oil pot, and exploded in the darkness, and countless shrill cries and low roars erupted all around, followed by the sound of countless bodies falling on the tracks. The first zombie to fall was already struggling to get up.
