Chapter 228: The Story of the Radiant Man (Part II)
The sound of footsteps at night will attract the attention of radiated bats.
Many beings have strong nocturnal habits, and they are busy foraging for food in the cold, unaffected by the darkness.
Therefore, going out at night is a basic way to protect yourself, after all, there is no safety in the building.
The world is too chaotic.
Two shadows sneaky and scurrying around the corners, avoiding wandering rats, monsters, and other radiant monsters.
After making sure that he had not been spotted by the radiant bats, Lu Zhan decided to find a safe place to rest as soon as possible.
"This is Area A, there are many man-eating plants in Area B, and they must also be affected by radiation." Lu Zhan took out a few green fruits from his pocket, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them, and frowned.
With something in his stomach and suppressing his hunger, he took out a simple piece of paper and made some marks on it with a pen.
"If we explore it all, it will take at least three days, and we may not be able to survive until then......"
Lu Zhan whispered, smiling bitterly.
Deep in the canyon, the space is unimaginably large, and the scale is larger than a normal town.
Judging by the fact that there were probably tens of thousands of people living here, many of the buildings were built in the style of the same as those of more than 20 years ago.
Lianlai, he and another partner named Zhang Lianshan traversed this area to explore the secrets of the underground, and the harvest was not small.
Unfortunately, both of them found that their bodies were deteriorating and their symptoms were supported by one breath.
"If you're dead, you're dead, so why take it so seriously."
A hoarse voice sounded from the side.
Lu Zhan raised his head and focused his gaze in the direction where the sound came from next to him.
It was a man in gray cargo pants.
Dark-skinned, inch-headed, sturdy, with two arms in front, it looks longer than the average person.
He carried a bow made of bamboo poles in his hand, and carried a bamboo tube on his back, and inside was a bundle of sharpened bamboo arrows.
In the canyon, terrifying creatures are often encountered, all of which are eliminated by Zhang Lianshan's bow and arrows through Yang.
He was a professional archer in the Empire, and later joined the army and served in a special brigade in the Empire.
After retiring, he transferred to the power station as a safety director.
The hands are extraordinary, introverted, and usually few words.
Lu Zhan and he are fellow countrymen, and they encountered crises together and spent life and death together, and they had a good relationship.
He was also eating green fruits.
It's not well-known, but it's harmless, and it's all over the canyon.
It's food for the survivors who have fallen here.
It is also the food of many radiated species.
Not tasty, bitter and sour.
But eating too much can fill their stomachs and improve their physical strength, so they have a lot in their pockets.
"If I can get out alive, I mean if...... I want to have a roast duck and then a little roast, of course...... Hot pot is also available. ”
Lu Zhan retracted his gaze, swallowed the bitter juice in his mouth, and said expectantly.
"I'm not greedy, one pancake fruit is enough, add one side dish to each side dish ......" Zhang Lianshan licked his lips.
"." Lu Zhan scolded and grinned, "Forget it, don't look at Mei to quench your thirst, this thing is sour and I want to vomit." ”
"Let's find a place to rest."
"Good!"
A whole day of running and fighting has already exhausted the physical strength of the two of them.
A low, two-story building, located at the very edge of the complex, became Lü Zhan's preferred target because of its proximity to the front and back.
This is a quiet B&B with an extremely elegant décor.
Lu Zhan and Zhang Lianshan came out of the shadow, stood side by side, and looked up at Xiaolou.
It's a black hole inside, and it looks terrible.
"I'll go ahead." Zhang Lianshan said, without waiting for Lu Zhan to react, he pulled out a short knife from his back waist and got into it through the iron gate first.
Lu Zhan also clenched his weapon, followed closely, gently covered the door, and took out a lighter.
The dim light of the fire flickered, helplessly dispelling small patches of darkness, and the light hit the walls, and specks of blood could be seen.
Toilet paper and books were scattered all over the place, and the red footprints were extremely obvious.
Lu Zhan and Zhang Lianshan glanced at each other.
The house is dead......
The secrets in the canyon are not as simple as they seem.
For example, they found that some of the people here were evacuated, but not all of them.
Some people didn't get away......
Rustling......
The surroundings were empty and quiet, except for the clear sound of two people's breathing and footsteps.
Lu Zhan held a lighter in one hand and a weapon in the other, and his nerves were tense all the time.
Darkness can contain many things, often representing death and fear......
After turning a corner, the vision in front of me gradually brightened.
A long corridor with many windows open on the sunny side, and the bright moonlight squeezed in from the outside.
Whining......
The wind squeezed through the gaps, squeezing desperately in, making a sharp sound.
Zhang Lianshan stopped abruptly, he tilted his head sideways, as if listening to something.
The sweat in Lu Zhan's palms had already wet the lighter, and it was slippery to the touch.
He put the over-haired lighter in his pocket and didn't dare to make any more noise.
After a while, Zhang Lianshan took half a step back, put his ear to Lu Zhan and said, "Ahead...... There's movement! ”
Lu Zhan frowned, he also turned his head sideways to listen, but he didn't hear anything.
It seems that the physique of people is really different......
Lu Zhan asked in a low voice, "Can you feel what it is?" ”
"I don't know." Zhang Lianshan shook his head and added, "It's not a human being anyway. ”
The survivors parted ways a few days ago, going their separate ways, and I don't know how many are still alive.
Lu Zhan was hesitating whether to change his house when he saw that Zhang Lianshan was already continuing to walk inside.
Zhang Lianshan is not a reckless person, since he did not choose to retreat, it proves that he has the confidence to kill the existence inside.
There are no demons and monsters in the world, only people, and ...... Not people.
No matter how fierce the monster is, it can be killed.
Lu Zhan hurriedly followed, the environment here was cold and damp, and the air currents blew his cheeks from time to time, making him always feel as if someone was following him.
There was a room at the end of the hallway, the door was cracked, and the moonlight was swallowed up by the darkness inside.
Zhang Lianshan looked at Lu Zhan for a moment, lost his eyes, and slowly pushed the door open.
The cold wind blew in, and a strong musty smell came to my nose.
Zhang Lianshan held the handle of the knife steadily, looking calm and serious, he raised his steps and walked in.
Lu Zhan's face stiffened, he was not afraid, but his hands trembled a little.
He glanced back vigilantly and found that there was nothing abnormal, and he had firmly followed Zhang Lianshan's pace.
Squeaky ......
There was movement right in front of me, the sound of gnawing.
From time to time, I tripped under my feet, and even if I walked carefully, I would inevitably make a noise.
When Lu Zhan kicked a can bottle, and the screeching sound came out, his blood was almost going backwards.
"Squat—" Zhang Lianshan's hurried voice sounded.
It was on Lu Zhan's right hand.
Without thinking, Lu Zhan quickly fell down, but accidentally hit a hard object, and the pain hit him suddenly, and he almost rolled to the ground.
At the same time, a strong wind swept overhead, followed by a warm liquid falling and dripping onto Lu Zhan's cheeks.
Fortunately, Lu Zhan is face down, if it is something poisonous, it will be bad in the eyes.
He scrambled to his feet, his nose filled with a foul stench.
Lu Zhan regretted that he had come in with him, and with his strength, he was completely a drag bottle.
"It's okay, I've killed it." Zhang Lianshan spoke not far away, and there seemed to be a hint of tiredness in his words.
Lu Zhan stood up panting, took out a lighter, and saw a little scene on the side by the light of a small fire.
My feet were messy, and I lost clothes, pillows, snack bags, and other things.
What Lu Zhan knocked over just now was a low wooden table with scissors and an awl on it, and a candle that was mostly half left.
Lu Zhan was slightly happy in his heart, he picked up the candle and lit it, and the whole room brightened.
This is a separate room with two, a long sofa, and a separate bathroom.
There was a black thing lying in the corner of the wall, Lu Zhan walked in, kicked it a few times, and found that it was a mouse larger than an adult cat.
Its fur had almost fallen out, revealing its skin covered in speckled ulcers, and its body was still twitching involuntarily.
Zhang Lianshan cut off half of its head with a knife.
What is it eating?
The glass on the window was smashed in one piece, but because there was a strong security net, it was impossible to break through the cage.
The thin curtains were torn and scattered all over the floor, and there were blood-stained handprints on them, and endless despair could be felt from them.
Once the survivors are found, they are the freshest food in the eyes of the Radiant Monsters.
Lu Zhan took the candle and walked to the door of the bathroom, and saw a young woman lying in the bathtub, her clothes all torn to shreds, scattered on it.
Judging by the chaos in the room, she was cornered and was brought to the bathroom by a rat.
The white skin was covered with fist-sized blood holes, and the vertebrae in the entire abdomen were exposed, and the internal organs were almost eaten up.
She was still intact above her ribs, her two lumps of white cocked, cold and stiff.
The radiated rat seemed to want to use her body as a nest and live in it.
Her eyes were staring straight in one direction, and there was no luster in her pupils.
Women have always been afraid of rats, let alone such a big one, you can imagine how much pain she experienced in her life.
Zhang Lianshan didn't want to see such a cruel scene, he walked out with a knife and soon spoke outside the door.
"There are a few rooms next to it, all of which are safe."
Lu Zhan nodded with an ugly face, exited the room, and closed the door.
"She seems to have just died?"
Zhang Lianshan is experienced, walked in, looked at the pupils again, pressed the skin, and tested the bullet.
"For a week, you didn't see the spots on her body, but the rate of decay is not normal."
He organized his words, lowered his head, glanced at his arm, and then said gloomily, "Spoke...... It's a terrible force. ”
"We're dying, and we're getting stronger......"
"Yes, I'm dying......" Lu Zhan scratched his head and sighed, not really wanting to talk about this heavy topic.
"Let's go to another room!"
With a light source, it will be convenient to do anything, and Lu Zhan has collected a lot of useful things one after another.
Two flashlights, a bundle of climbing ropes, a backpack, and books......
Lu Zhan blew out the candles, lit them with a flashlight, put all the sundries into his backpack, and carried them on his back.
The two searched the entire building and found several more bodies.
Some are survivors, some are pets. Cats and dogs, but without exception were eaten miserably.
Even in the kitchen, there was the corpse of a black snake, which was supposed to have been killed with a blunt object, and its whole head was rotten.
Man is weak.
And those who survive will give human beings great strength.
After finding a clean room, Zhang Lianshan locked the door of the building before returning with a heavy table.
The door was blocked, and the window had an anti-theft window, but he was not afraid, but Lu Zhan still found a few bottles of perfume and sprinkled it carefully.
The food was all spoiled, but Lu Zhan still had a surprise discovery.
He pulled out two boxes of military cans from a hidden cabinet.
The outer packaging has been severely corroded, and when the lid is pried open, it has not deteriorated.
"Damn, how many preservatives were put in......"
Zhang Lianshan complained rarely, picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth to chew without chewing, and swallowed it.
Lu Zhan hurriedly opened another box.
After gobbling it up, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes.
