Chapter Eighty-Three: Rest and Recuperation (Adding a Shift to Open the Door and Send Couriers to the Alliance Leader) (Third Watch)
Once there is an abnormality, it is good to react as soon as possible.
Shen Qiu glanced back at the rescued people, looked at their tired, frightened, and frightened faces, and fell into deep thought.
Time keeps ticking.
Shen Qiu and the others were all silent, and the entire sewage pipeline was quiet.
Only the occasional drop of sewage, a low voice.
I don't know how long I waited.
Clang~
The low bell rang, and Shen Qiu and the others' ears were all pricked up.
They listened carefully for fear of mishearing.
After listening repeatedly, it is almost certain that the bell is ringing.
"Great, the bell finally rang and we got through it."
Yun Xiaoxi's tense expression relaxed, and he said to Shen Qiu with some luck.
"You guys are squatting here and waiting for me, if you can hear the bell here, it means that there is an exit nearby, I'll go find it."
Shen Qiu explained to Yun Xiaoxi, then turned around and left.
He fumbled around the pipes, and in a short time he found an outlet.
Shen Qiu drilled out, climbed the sewage canal, and looked ahead.
Greeted by wide streets and rows of retro residential buildings.
Upon closer inspection, there was no sign of the deformed residents. If nothing else, the monsters are back in the house.
In addition, Shen Qiu looked around in the distance, and the figure of the cathedral was no longer visible.
It should be safe.
So Shen Qiu turned around and returned to the sewage channel.
A moment later, Shen Qiu came out with Yun Xiaoxi and the others, and he lowered his voice to remind everyone.
"Don't talk unless you have to, be quiet! And don't run around on your own, follow us! ”
Everyone nodded desperately, they had now completely regarded Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi as spiritual pillars.
"Shen Qiu, let's find a house. It's still a while before it gets dark, and it's too conspicuous to take them around. ”
Yun Xiaoxi thought for a moment and proposed.
"Okay, find a separate, relatively spacious house."
Shen Qiu pondered for a while and replied in agreement.
So they led the group up the sewer, through the streets, and down the alleys to the inner residential areas.
"The backpack is for you."
As he walked, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly took off his backpack and handed it to Shen Qiu!
Shen Qiu looked at the backpack and asked puzzledly.
"Why did you pick up this backpack before? The situation was so critical that he would have died. ”
"It's not that I'm afraid of running away, and I don't know how long it will take to find the overlapping exit. If we don't have anything to eat or drink, we won't last long, so that's why I took the risk of picking it up. It's just that I didn't expect to almost kill both of us for this, sorry! ”
Yun Xiaoxi said apologetically.
"It's okay, understandable."
Shen Qiu took the backpack on its back and continued to walk forward.
After walking for about ten minutes, they saw an independent villa, the house was very large, and it had three floors, and there were also front and back yards.
"You stay in the yard, don't come in without my notice."
After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he pushed open the door and walked in.
The decoration on the first floor is quite good, with a lot of high-end wooden furniture, and some strange decorations on the walls, such as mechanical clocks, deer heads, etc.
It can be seen that this is a relatively wealthy upper-class house.
"There is a room on the ground floor!"
Yun Xiaoxi also walked in at this time, and she looked around and reminded.
"Let's go inside!"
Shen Qiu replied in surprise, and then he walked towards the room.
This room is right next to the stairs and is a bit like a servant's room.
He gently pushed open the door and saw an old gray coffin sitting there.
"Dagger for me,"
Shen Qiu said to Yun Xiaoxi.
Yun Xiaoxi immediately handed the military dagger to Shen Qiu and instructed.
"Be careful."
Shen Qiu gently pushed open the lid of the coffin, only to see a shriveled woman in a maid's costume lying inside,
Without waiting for Shen Qiu to make a move, the maid instantly opened her eyes and stretched out her hands towards Shen Qiu's neck, looking like she was going to strangle him, with an extremely ferocious expression.
Shen Qiu also made a quick move, holding down her head, and the thunder flashed!
Ziz!
Suddenly, the maid's whole body convulsed, and then Shen Qiu held the dagger in his right hand and slammed into his heart.
Black blood seeps out directly.
The maid's body trembled violently, and finally she stiffened and died.
"There are a lot of coffins in this house, so let's clean them separately. Also, be careful when cleaning up, these guys don't seem to be sleeping very well. ”
Shen Qiu thought for a while and reminded.
"Good!"
Yun Xiaoxi agreed.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi cleaned up all the hidden dangers in the building, killing a total of six abnormal residents.
Everyone took refuge in the living room on the third floor of the house.
"We'll settle here for the time being, and when it gets dark, we'll start looking for overlapping exits."
Shen Qiu sat down against the wall, closed his eyes and recuperated, trying to reduce his physical exertion as much as possible, the ghost knows how long he would have to stay in this place.
Everyone in the room sat down numbly following Shen Qiu's words.
Some people were in the corner, silently wiping their tears.
Yun Xiaoxi walked to the edge of the window next to him and stared outside.
Soon time passed in silence, and gradually it became dark.
Shen Qiu estimated it, and felt that the time was ripe and got up.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qiu's body, and his originally numb expression suddenly became nervous.
Some people subconsciously walked over.
"You continue to hide here, and you should be safe until the bell rings. I went with Yun Xiaoxi to find overlapping exits. Of course, don't worry, we won't run too far, after all, if we are too far away, even if we find it, we won't have time to inform you. ”
Shen Qiu saw that everyone's expressions were nervous, so he opened his mouth to reassure.
"That."
The people who were rescued at the scene were a little eager to say something, and they couldn't open their mouths when they wanted to say anything.
At this time, the little boy looked at Shen Qiu with an expectant look on his face and spoke.
"Big brother, you'll be back, right? Won't leave us alone, will you? ”
Shen Qiu listened to the little boy's words, but he also froze slightly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
To be honest, he really didn't think about it, but let him commit to it, it wasn't in line with his principles.
After all, Shen Qiu's principle is very simple, he is only responsible for his friends and related people.
However, everyone's eyes looking at Shen Qiu were full of expectation, which made him a little embarrassed.
At this time, Yun Xiaoxi walked in front of Shen Qiu and spoke.
"Don't worry, I, Yun Xiaoxi, promise here, even if I find an exit, I will never give up on you, and if you escape alone, you can stay at ease."
When everyone heard Yun Xiaoxi's words, they were very moved and nodded back.
"Thank you!"
"Please."
Shen Qiu glanced at Yun Xiaoxi, and added a point to her impression in his heart, Yun Xiaoxi not only relieved herself, but also did not bring her promise with her.
